15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 demand-circuit command can affect the ipv6 ospf demand-circuit command.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S	This command was modified. The ignore keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 demand-circuit command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf demand-circuit configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

On point-to-point interfaces, only one end of the demand circuit must be configured with this command. Periodic hello messages are suppressed and periodic refreshes of link-state advertisements (LSAs) do not flood the demand circuit. This command allows the underlying data link layer to be closed when the topology is stable. In point-to-multipoint topology, only the multipoint end must configured with this command.

Examples

The following example sets the configuration for an ISDN on-demand circuit:


interface BRI0
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 1 
 ipv6 ospf demand-circuit

Related Commands


ospfv3 demand-circuit	Configures OSPFv3 to treat the interface as an OSPFv3 demand circuit.
router ospfv3	Enables OSPFv3 router configuration mode for the IPv4 or IPv6 address family.

ipv6 ospf encryption

To specify the encryption type for an interface, use the ipv6 ospf encryption command in interface configuration mode. To remove the encryption type from an interface, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 ospf encryption {ipsec spi spi esp {encryption-algorithm [ [key-encryption-type] key] | null} authentication-algorithm [key-encryption-type] key | | null}

no ipv6 ospf encryption ipsec spi spi

Syntax Description


ipsec	Specifies IP Security (IPsec).
spi `spi`	Specifies the security policy index (SPI) value. The `spi` value must be a number from 256 to 4294967295.
esp	Encapsulating security payload (ESP).
`encryption-algorithm`	Encryption algorithm to be used with ESP. The values can be any of the following: aes-cbc —Enables AES-CBC encryption. 3des —Enables 3DES encryption. des —Enables DES encryption. null —ESP with no encryption.
`key-encryption-type`	(Optional) One of two values can be entered: 0 —The key is not encrypted. 7 —The key is encrypted.
`key`	(Optional) Number used in the calculation of the message digest. The number is 32 hexadecimal digits (16 bytes) long. The size of the key depends on the encryption algorithm used. Some algorithms, such as AES-CDC, allow you to choose the size of the key.
`authentication-algorithm`	Encryption authentication algorithm to be used. The values can be one of the following: md5 —Enables message digest 5 (MD5) authentication. sha1 —Enables Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) authentication.
null	Overrides area encryption.

Command Default

Authentication and encryption are not configured on an interface.

15.2(1)T	This command was modified. Use of the ospfv3 encryption command can affect the ipv6 ospf encryption command.
15.1(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

When the ipv6 ospf encryption command is enabled, both authentication and encryption are enabled.

You need to ensure that the same policy (the SPI and the key) is configured on all of the interfaces on the link. SPI values may automatically be used by other client applications, such as tunnels.

The policy database is common to all client applications on a device. This means that two IPsec clients, such as OSPFv3 and a tunnel, cannot use the same SPI. Additionally, an SPI can be used only in one policy.

The null keyword is used to override existing area encryption. If area encryption is not configured, then it is not necessary to configure the interface with the ipv6 ospf encryption null command.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify the encryption type for Ethernet interface 0/0. The IPsec SPI value is 1001, ESP is used with no encryption, and the authentication algorithm is SHA-1.


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0 
Router(config-if)# ipv6 ospf encryption ipsec spi 1001 esp null sha1 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D

15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 mtu-ignore command can affect the ipv6 ospf mtu-ignore command.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 hello-interval command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf hello-interval configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

This value is advertised in the hello packets. The shorter the hello interval, the earlier topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue. This value must be the same for all routers and access servers on a specific network.

Examples

The following example sets the interval between hello packets to 15 seconds:


interface ethernet 1
 ipv6 ospf hello-interval 15

15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 mtu-ignore command can affect the ipv6 ospf mtu-ignore command.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 mtu-ignore command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf mtu-ignore configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

OSPFv3 checks whether neighbors are using the same MTU on a common interface. This check is performed when neighbors exchange DBD packets. If the receiving MTU in the DBD packet is higher then the IP MTU configured on the incoming interface, OSPFv3 adjacency will not be established.

Examples

The following example disables MTU mismatch detection on receiving DBD packets:


interface serial 0/0
 ipv6 ospf mtu-ignore

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

This command makes it easier to identify a router because the router is displayed by name rather than by its router ID or neighbor ID.

Examples

The following example configures OSPF to look up DNS names for use in all OSPF show EXEC command displays:


ipv6 ospf name-lookup

ipv6 ospf neighbor

To configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routers interconnecting to nonbroadcast networks, use the ip v6 ospf neighbor command in interface configuration mode. To remove a configuration, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 ospf neighbor ipv6-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds] [cost number] [database-filter all out]

no ipv6 ospf neighbor ipv6-address [priority number] [poll-interval seconds] [cost number] [database-filter all out]

Syntax Description


`ipv6-address`	Link-local IPv6 address of the neighbor. This argument must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
priority `number`	(Optional) A number that indicates the router priority value of the nonbroadcast neighbor associated with the IPv6 prefix specified. The default is 0.
poll-interval `seconds`	(Optional) A number value that represents the poll interval time (in seconds). RFC 2328 recommends that this value be much larger than the hello interval. The default is 120 seconds (2 minutes). This keyword does not apply to point-to-multipoint interfaces.
cost `number`	(Optional) Assigns a cost to the neighbor, in the form of an integer from 1 to 65535. Neighbors with no specific cost configured will assume the cost of the interface, based on the ipv6 ospf cost command.
database-filter all out	(Optional) Filters outgoing link-state advertisements (LSAs) to an OSPF neighbor.

Command Default

No configuration is specified.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

X.25 and Frame Relay provide an optional broadcast capability that can be configured in the map to allow OSPF to run as a broadcast network. At the OSPF level you can configure the router as a broadcast network.

One neighbor entry must be included in the Cisco IOS software configuration for each known nonbroadcast network neighbor. The neighbor address must be a link-local address of the neighbor.

If a neighboring router has become inactive (hello packets have not been seen for the Router Dead Interval period), hello packets may need to be sent to the dead neighbor. These hello packets will be sent at a reduced rate called Poll Interval .

When the router first starts up, it sends only hello packets to those routers with nonzero priority, that is, routers that are eligible to become designated routers (DRs) and backup designated routers (BDRs). After the DR and BDR are selected, the DR and BDR will then start sending hello packets to all neighbors in order to form adjacencies.

The priority keyword does not apply to point-to-multipoint interfaces. For point-to-multipoint interfaces, the cost keyword and the number argument are the only options that are applicable. The cost keyword does not apply to nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) networks.

Examples

The following example configures an OSPF neighboring router:


ipv6 ospf neighbor FE80::A8BB:CCFF:FE00:C01

ipv6 ospf network

To configure the Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) network type to a type other than the default for a given medium, use the i pv6 ospf network command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default type, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 ospf network {broadcast | non-broadcast | {point-to-multipoint [non-broadcast] | point-to-point}}

no ipv6 ospf network

Syntax Description


broadcast	Sets the network type to broadcast.
non-broadcast	Sets the network type to nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA).
point-to-multipoint non-broadcast	Sets the network type to point-to-multipoint. The optional non-broadcast keyword sets the point-to-multipoint network to be nonbroadcast. If you use the non-broadcast keyword, the neighbor command is required.
point-to-point	Sets the network type to point-to-point.

Command Default

Default depends on the network type.

15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 network command can affect the ipv6 ospf network command.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 network command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf network configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

NBMA Networks

Using this feature, you can configure broadcast networks as NBMA networks when, for example, routers in your network do not support multicast addressing. You can also configure NBMA networks (such as X.25, Frame Relay, and Switched Multimegabit Data Service [SMDS]) as broadcast networks. This feature saves you from needing to configure neighbors.

Configuring NBMA networks as either broadcast or nonbroadcast assumes that there are virtual circuits from every router to every router or fully meshed networks. However, the assumption is not true for other configurations, such as for a partially meshed network. In these cases, you can configure the OSPFv3 network type as a point-to-multipoint network. Routing between two routers that are not directly connected will go through the router that has virtual circuits to both routers. You need not configure neighbors when using this feature.

Point-to-Multipoint Networks

OSPFv3 for IPv6 has two features related to point-to-multipoint networks. One feature applies to broadcast networks; the other feature applies to nonbroadcast networks:

On point-to-multipoint, broadcast networks, you can use the neighbor command, and you must specify a cost to that neighbor.
On point-to-multipoint, nonbroadcast networks, you must use the neighbor command to identify neighbors. Assigning a cost to a neighbor is optional.

Examples

The following example sets your OSPFv3 network as a broadcast network:


interface serial 0
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
 ipv6 ospf network broadcast
 encapsulation frame-relay

Examples

The following example illustrates a point-to-multipoint network with broadcast:


interface serial 0
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ipv6 ospf cost 100
 ipv6 ospf network point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay map ipv6 2001:0DB1::A8BB:CCFF:FE00:C01 broadcast
 frame-relay map ipv6 2001:0DB1B:CCFF:FE00:C02 broadcast
 frame-relay local-dlci 200

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4S	Use of the ospfv3 priority command can affect the ipv6 ospf priority command.
15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 priority command can affect the ipv6 ospf priority command.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 priority command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf priority configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

When two routers attached to a network both attempt to become the designated router, the one with the higher router priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. A router with a router priority set to zero is ineligible to become the designated router or backup designated router. Router priority is configured only for interfaces to multiaccess networks (in other words, not to point-to-point networks).

This priority value is used when you configure Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) for nonbroadcast networks using the ipv6 ospf neighbor command.

Examples

The following example sets the router priority value to 4:


interface ethernet 0
 ipv6 ospf priority 4

When the ospfv3 retransmit-interval command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf retransmit-interval configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

When a router sends an LSA to its neighbor, it keeps the LSA until it receives back the acknowledgment message. If the router receives no acknowledgment, it will resend the LSA.

The setting of this parameter should be conservative, or needless retransmission will result. The value should be larger for serial lines and virtual links.

Examples

The following example sets the retransmit interval value to 8 seconds:


interface ethernet 2
 ipv6 ospf retransmit-interval 8

Related Commands


Command	Description
ospfv3 retransmit-interval	Specifies the time between LSA retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the interface.
router ospfv3	Enables OSPFv3 router configuration mode for the IPv4 or IPv6 address family.

ipv6 ospf transmit-delay

To set the estimated time required to send a link-state update packet on the Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) interface, use the i p ospf transmit-delay command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 ospf transmit-delay seconds

no ipv6 ospf transmit-delay

15.2(1)T	Use of the ospfv3 transmit-delay command can affect the ipv6 ospf transmit-delay command.

Usage Guidelines

When the ospfv3 transmit-delay command is configured with the process-id argument, it overwrites the ipv6 ospf transmit-delay configuration if OSPFv3 was attached to the interface using the ipv6 ospf area command.

Link-state advertisements (LSAs) in the update packet must have their ages incremented by the amount specified in the seconds argument before transmission. The value assigned should take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.

If the delay is not added before transmission over a link, the time in which the LSA propagates over the link is not considered. This setting has more significance on very low-speed links.

Examples

The following example sets the retransmit delay value to 3 seconds:


interface ethernet 0
 ipv6 ospf transmit-delay 3

Usage Guidelines

After a user has enabled the ipv6 multicast-routing command, PIM is enabled to run on every interface. Because PIM is enabled on every interface by default, use the no form of the ipv6 pim command to disable PIM on a specified interface. When PIM is disabled on an interface, it does not react to any host membership notifications from the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol.

Examples

The following example turns off PIM on Fast Ethernet interface 1/0:


Router(config)# interface FastEthernet 1/0

15.2(1)S	This command was modified. The accept-rp-candidate keyword was added.
15.1(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used to configure a device as a candidate BSR; however, the device becomes a candidate only if the address belongs to a PIM-enabled interface. When a device is configured, it will participate in BSR election. If elected BSR, this device will periodically originate BSR messages advertising the group-to-RP mappings it has learned through candidate-RP-advertisement messages.

If the scope keyword is enabled, the BSR will originate BSMs, including the group range associated with the scope, and accept C-RP announcements only if they are for groups that belong to the given scope. If no scope is configured, all scopes are used.

The accept-rp-candidate acl-name keyword and argument will restrict the C-RP candidates accepted. If the accept-rp-candidate keyword is not configured, BSR C-RP advertisements at the BSR are not filtered.

Examples

The following example configures the device with the IPv6 address 2001:0DB8:3000:3000::42 as the candidate BSR, with a hash mask length of 124 and a priority of 10:


ipv6 pim bsr candidate bsr 2001:0DB8:3000:3000::42 124 priority 10

The following example will restrict the C-RP advertisements accepted. The ACL, crp, is used to filter the advertisements.

ipv6 pim bsr candidate bsr 194::1:1:2 priority 150 accept-rp-candidate crp
acl crp with
permit ipv6 host 192::1:1:1 any log
deny ipv6 any any log

Syntax Description


vrf `vrf-name`	(Optional) Specifies a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) configuration.
`ipv6-address`	The IPv6 address of the device to be advertised as the candidate RP (C-RP). This argument must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
group-list	(Optional) List of group prefixes. When the bidir keyword is not enabled, the group-list keyword with the `access-list-name` argument is advertised in the sparse range. If no access list is specified, all valid multicast nonsource-specific multicast (SSM) address ranges are advertised in association with the specified RP address.
`access-list-name`	(Optional) Name of the IPv6 access list containing group prefixes that will be advertised in association with the RP address. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, or begin with a numeral. When the bidir keyword is not enabled, the group-list keyword with the `access-list-name` argument is advertised in the sparse range. If the access list contains any group address ranges that overlap the assigned SSM group address range (FF3x::/96), a warning message is displayed, and the overlapping address ranges are ignored.
priority	(Optional) Priority of the candidate BSR.
`priority-value`	(Optional) Integer from 0 through 192 that specifies the priority. The RP with the higher priority is preferred. If the priority values are the same, the device with the higher IPv6 address is the RP. The default value is 192.
interval	(Optional) Configures the C-RP advertisement interval.
`seconds`	(Optional) Advertisement interval in number of seconds.
scope	(Optional) Device advertises itself as the C-RP only to the BSR for the specified scope.
`scope-value`	(Optional) Integer from 3 through 15 that specifies the scope.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to send PIM RP advertisements to the BSR. The PIM RP advertisement becomes a candidate only if the address belongs to a PIM-enabled interface.

The group prefixes defined by the access-list-name argument will also be advertised in association with the RP address. If a group prefix in the access list is denied, it will not be included in the C-RP advertisement.

If the priority priority-value keyword and argument are specified, then the device will announce itself to be a candidate RP with the specified priority.

If the scope keyword is used, the device advertises itself as the C-RP only to the BSR for the specified scope. If the group-list keyword is specified along with the scope, then only prefixes in the access-list-name argument with the same scope as the scope configured will be advertised. If no scope is configured, all scopes are advertised.

Examples

The following example configures the device with the IPv6 address 2001:0DB8:3000:3000::42 to be advertised as the candidate RP, with a priority of 0:


Device(config)# ipv6 pim bsr candidate rp 2001:0DB8:3000:3000::42 priority 0

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 pim dr-priority command configures the neighbor priority used for PIM DR election. The router with the highest DR priority on an interface becomes the PIM DR. If several routers have the same priority, then the router with the highest IPv6 address on the interface becomes the DR.

If a router does not include the DR priority option in its hello messages, then the router is considered to be the highest-priority router and becomes the DR. If several routers do not include the DR priority option in their hello messages, then the router with the highest IPv6 address becomes the DR.

ipv6 pim passive

To enable the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) passive feature on a specific interface, use the ipv6 pim passive command in interface configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 pim passive

no ipv6 pim passive

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

PIM passive mode is not enabled on the router.

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 pim passive command to configure IPv6 PIM passive mode on an interface.

A PIM passive interface does not send or receive any PIM control messages. However, a PIM passive interface acts as designated router (DR) and designated forwarder (DF)-election winner, and it can accept and forward multicast data.

Examples

The following example configures IPv6 PIM passive mode on an interface:


Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0
Router(config-if)# ipv6 pim passive

15.1(4)M	The vrf `vrf-name` keyword and argument were added.

Usage Guidelines

Because embedded RP support is enabled by default, users will generally use the no form of this command to turn off embedded RP support.

The ipv6 pim rp embedded command applies only to the embedded RP group ranges ff7X::/16 and fffX::/16. When the router is enabled, it parses groups in the embedded RP group ranges ff7X::/16 and fffX::/16, and extracts the RP to be used from the group address.

Examples

The following example disables embedded RP support in IPv6 PIM:


no ipv6 pim rp embedded

ipv6 pim rp-address

To configure the address of a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) rendezvous point (RP) for a particular group range, use the ipv6 pim rp-address command in global configuration mode. To remove an RP address, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 pim [vrf vrf-name] rp-address ipv6-address [group-access-list] [bidir]

no ipv6 pim rp-address ipv6-address [group-access-list] [bidir]

Syntax Description


vrf `vrf-name`	(Optional) Specifies a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) configuration.
`ipv6-address`	The IPv6 address of a router to be a PIM RP. The `ipv6-address` argument must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
`group-access-list`	(Optional) Name of an access list that defines for which multicast groups the RP should be used. If the access list contains any group address ranges that overlap the assigned source-specific multicast (SSM) group address range (FF3x::/96), a warning message is displayed, and the overlapping ranges are ignored. If no access list is specified, the specified RP is used for all valid multicast non-SSM address ranges. To support embedded RP, the router configured as the RP must use a configured access list that permits the embedded RP group ranges derived from the embedded RP address. Note that the embedded RP group ranges need not include all the scopes (for example, 3 through 7).
bidir	(Optional) Indicates that the group range will be used for bidirectional shared-tree forwarding; otherwise, it will be used for sparse-mode forwarding. A single IPv6 address can be configured to be RP only for either bidirectional or sparse-mode group ranges. A single group-range list can be configured to operate either in bidirectional or sparse mode.

Command Default

No PIM RPs are preconfigured. Embedded RP support is enabled by default when IPv6 PIM is enabled (where embedded RP support is provided). Multicast groups operate in PIM sparse mode.

15.0(2)SE	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE.

Usage Guidelines

When PIM is configured in sparse mode, you must choose one or more routers to operate as the RP. An RP is a single common root of a shared distribution tree and is statically configured on each router.

Where embedded RP support is available, only the RP needs to be statically configured as the RP for the embedded RP ranges. No additional configuration is needed on other IPv6 PIM routers. The other routers will discover the RP address from the IPv6 group address. If these routers want to select a static RP instead of the embedded RP, the specific embedded RP group range must be configured in the access list of the static RP.

The RP address is used by first-hop routers to send register packets on behalf of source multicast hosts. The RP address is also used by routers on behalf of multicast hosts that want to become members of a group. These routers send join and prune messages to the RP.

If the optional group-access-list argument is not specified, the RP is applied to the entire routable IPv6 multicast group range, excluding SSM, which ranges from FFX[3-f]::/8 to FF3X::/96. If the group-access-list argument is specified, the IPv6 address is the RP address for the group range specified in the group-access-list argument.

You can configure Cisco IOS software to use a single RP for more than one group. The conditions specified by the access list determine which groups the RP can be used for. If no access list is configured, the RP is used for all groups.

A PIM router can use multiple RPs, but only one per group.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the PIM RP address to 2001::10:10 for all multicast groups:


Router(config)# ipv6 pim rp-address 2001::10:10

The following example sets the PIM RP address to 2001::10:10 for the multicast group FF04::/64 only:


Router(config)# ipv6 access-list acc-grp-1
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff04::/64
Router(config)# ipv6 pim rp-address 2001::10:10 acc-grp-1

The following example shows how to configure a group access list that permits the embedded RP ranges derived from the IPv6 RP address 2001:0DB8:2::2:


Router(config)# ipv6 pim rp-address 2001:0DB8:2::2 embd-ranges
Router(config)# ipv6 access-list embd-ranges
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff73:240:2:2:2::/96
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff74:240:2:2:2::/96
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff75:240:2:2:2::/96
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff76:240:2:2:2::/96
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff77:240:2:2:2::/96
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff78:240:2:2:2::/96

The following example shows how to enable the address 100::1 as the bidirectional RP for the entries multicast range FF::/8:


ipv6 pim rp-address 100::1 bidir

In the following example, the IPv6 address 200::1 is enabled as the bidirectional RP for the ranges permitted by the access list named bidir-grps. The ranges permitted by this list are ff05::/16 and ff06::/16.


Router(config)# ipv6 access-list bidir-grps
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff05::/16
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any ff06::/16
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# exit
Router(config)# ipv6 pim rp-address 200::1 bidir-grps bidir

Usage Guidelines

Using the ipv6 pim spt-threshold infinity command enables all sources for the specified groups to use the shared tree. The group-list keyword indicates to which groups the SPT threshold applies.

The access-list-name argument refers to an IPv6 access list. When the access-list-name argument is specified with a value of 0, or the group-list keyword is not used, the SPT threshold applies to all groups. The default setting (that is, when this command is not enabled) is to join the SPT immediately after the first packet arrives from a new source.

Examples

The following example configures a PIM last-hop router to stay on the shared tree and not switch to the SPT for the group range ff04::/64.:


Router(config)# ipv6 access-list acc-grp-1
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit ipv6 any FF04::/64

15.1(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

You can enable PBR if you want your packets to take a route other than the obvious shortest path.

The ipv6 policy route-map command identifies a route map to be used for policy-based routing. The route-map commands each have a list of match and set commands associated with them. The match commands specify the match criteria, which are the conditions under which PBR is allowed for the interface. The set commands specify set actions, which are the PBR actions to be performed if the criteria enforced by the match commands are met. The no ipv6 policy route-map command deletes the pointer to the route map.

Policy-based routing can be performed on any match criteria that can be defined in an IPv6 access list.

Examples

In the following example, a route map named pbr-dest-1 is created and configured, specifying the packet match criteria and the desired policy-route action. Then, PBR is enabled on the interface Ethernet0/0.


ipv6 access-list match-dest-1
  permit ipv6 any 2001:DB8::1
route-map pbr-dest-1 permit 10
  match ipv6 address match-dest-1
  set interface Ethernet0/0
interface Ethernet0/0
  ipv6 policy-route-map pbr-dest-1

Command History


Release	Modification
12.3(11)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 port-map command associates TCP or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers with applications or services, establishing a table of default port mapping information at the firewall. This information is used to support network environments that run services using ports that are different from the registered or well-known ports associated with a service or application.

The port mapping information in the PAM table is of one of three types:

System-defined
User-defined
Host-specific

System-Defined Port Mapping

Initially, PAM creates a set of system-defined entries in the mapping table using well-known or registered port mapping information set up during the system start-up. The Cisco IOS Firewall Context-Based Access Control feature requires the system-defined mapping information to function properly. System-defined mapping information cannot be deleted or changed; that is, you cannot map HTTP services to port 21 (FTP) or FTP services to port 80 (HTTP).

The table below lists the default system-defined services and applications in the PAM table.

Table 1. System-Defined Port Mapping
Application Name	Well-Known or Registered Port Number	Protocol Description
cuseeme	7648	CU-SeeMe Protocol
exec	512	Remote Process Execution
ftp	21	File Transfer Protocol (control port)
h323	1720	H.323 Protocol (for example, MS NetMeeting, Intel Video Phone)
http	80	Hypertext Transfer Protocol
login	513	Remote login
msrpc	135	Microsoft Remote Procedure Call
netshow	1755	Microsoft NetShow
real-audio-video	7070	RealAudio and RealVideo
sccp	2000	Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP)
smtp	25	Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
sql-net	1521	SQL-NET
streamworks	1558	StreamWorks Protocol
sunrpc	111	SUN Remote Procedure Call
tftp	69	Trivial File Transfer Protocol
vdolive	7000	VDOLive Protocol

Note

You can override the system-defined entries for a specific host or subnet using the list keyword in the ipv6 port-map command.

User-Defined Port Mapping

Network applications that use non-standard ports require user-defined entries in the mapping table. Use the ipv6 port-map command to create default user-defined entries in the PAM table.

To map a range of port numbers with a service or application, you must create a separate entry for each port number.

Note

If you try to map an application to a system-defined port, a message appears warning you of a mapping conflict.

Use the no form of the ipv6 port-map command to delete user-defined entries from the PAM table.

To overwrite an existing user-defined port mapping, use the ipv6 port-map command to associate another service or application with the specific port.

Host-Specific Port Mapping

User-defined entries in the mapping table can include host-specific mapping information, which establishes port mapping information for specific hosts or subnets. In some environments, it might be necessary to override the default port mapping information for a specific host or subnet, including a system-defined default port mapping information. Use the list keyword for the ipv6 port-map command to specify an ACL for a host or subnet that uses PAM.

Note

If the host-specific port mapping information is the same as existing system-defined or user-defined default entries, host-specific port changes have no effect.

Examples

The following user-defined port-mapping configuration map port 8080 to the HTTP application:


ipv6 port-map http port 8080

Host-specific port-mapping configuration maps port 2121 to the FTP application from a particular set of host. First, the user needs to create a permit IPv6 access list for the allowed host(s). In the following example, packets from the hosts in the 2001:0DB8:1:7 subset destined for port 2121 will be mapped to the FTP application:


Router(config)# ipv6 access-list ftp-host
Router(config-ipv6-acl)# permit 2001:0DB8:1:7::/64 any

The port-map configuration is then configured as follows:


Router(config)# ipv6 port-map ftp port 2121 list ftp-host

Syntax Description


`list-name`	Name of the prefix list. Cannot be the same name as an existing access list. Cannot be the name “detail” or “summary” because they are keywords in the show ipv6 prefix-list command.
seq `seq-number`	(Optional) Sequence number of the prefix list entry being configured.
deny	Denies networks that matches the condition.
permit	Permits networks that matches the condition.
`ipv6-prefix`	The IPv6 network assigned to the specified prefix list. This argument must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
/ `prefix-length`	The length of the IPv6 prefix. A decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the decimal value.
description `text`	A description of the prefix list that can be up to 80 characters in length.
ge `ge-value`	(Optional) Specifies a prefix length greater than or equal to the `ipv6-prefix` / `prefix-length` arguments. It is the lowest value of a range of the `length` (the “from” portion of the length range).
le `le-value`	(Optional) Specifies a prefix length less than or equal to the `ipv6-prefix` / `prefix-length` arguments. It is the highest value of a range of the `length` (the “to” portion of the length range).

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 prefix-list command is similar to the ip prefix-list command, except that it is IPv6-specific.

To suppress networks from being advertised in updates, use the distribute-list out command.

The sequence number of a prefix list entry determines the order of the entries in the list. The router compares network addresses to the prefix list entries. The router begins the comparison at the top of the prefix list, with the entry having the lowest sequence number.

If multiple entries of a prefix list match a prefix, the entry with the lowest sequence number is considered the real match. Once a match or deny occurs, the router does not go through the rest of the prefix list. For efficiency, you may want to put the most common permits or denies near the top of the list, using the seq-number argument.

The show ipv6 prefix-list command displays the sequence numbers of entries.

IPv6 prefix lists are used to specify certain prefixes or a range of prefixes that must be matched before a permit or deny statement can be applied. Two operand keywords can be used to designate a range of prefix lengths to be matched. A prefix length of less than, or equal to, a value is configured with the le keyword. A prefix length greater than, or equal to, a value is specified using the ge keyword. The ge and le keywords can be used to specify the range of the prefix length to be matched in more detail than the usual ipv6-prefix / prefix-length argument. For a candidate prefix to match against a prefix list entry three conditions can exist:

The candidate prefix must match the specified prefix list and prefix length entry.
The value of the optional le keyword specifies the range of allowed prefix lengths from the prefix-length argument up to, and including, the value of the le keyword.
The value of the optional ge keyword specifies the range of allowed prefix lengths from the value of the ge keyword up to, and including, 128.

Note

The first condition must match before the other conditions take effect.

An exact match is assumed when the ge or le keywords are not specified. If only one keyword operand is specified then the condition for that keyword is applied, and the other condition is not applied. The prefix-length value must be less than the ge value. The ge value must be less than, or equal to, the le value. The le value must be less than or equal to 128.

Every IPv6 prefix list, including prefix lists that do not have any permit and deny condition statements, has an implicit deny any any statement as its last match condition.

Examples

The following example denies all routes with a prefix of ::/0.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc deny ::/0

The following example permits the prefix 2002::/16:


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc permit 2002::/16

The following example shows how to specify a group of prefixes to accept any prefixes from prefix 5F00::/48 up to and including prefix 5F00::/64.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc permit 5F00::/48 le 64

The following example denies prefix lengths greater than 64 bits in routes that have the prefix 2001:0DB8::/64.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc permit 2001:0DB8::/64 le 128

The following example permits mask lengths from 32 to 64 bits in all address space.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc permit ::/0 ge 32 le 64

The following example denies mask lengths greater than 32 bits in all address space.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc deny ::/0 ge 32

The following example denies all routes with a prefix of 2002::/128.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc deny 2002::/128

The following example permits all routes with a prefix of ::/0.


Router(config)# ipv6 prefix-list abc permit ::/0

Usage Guidelines

The rate at which the router generates all IPv6 ICMP error messages can be limited by using the ipv6 icmp error-interval command.

Examples

The following example disables the sending of ICMP IPv6 redirect messages on Ethernet interface 0 and reenables the messages on Ethernet interface 1:


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# no ipv6 redirects
Router(config)# interface ethernet 1
Router(config-if)# ipv6 redirects

To verify whether the sending of IPv6 redirect messages is enabled or disabled on an interface, enter the show ipv6 interface command:


Router# show ipv6 interface
Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is up
  IPv6 is stalled, link-local address is FE80::1 
  Global unicast address(es):
    2000::1, subnet is 2000::/64

ipv6 rip default-information

To originate a de fault IPv6 route into the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), use the ipv6 rip default-information command in interface configuration mode. To remove the default IPv6 RIP route, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 rip name default-information {only | originate} [metric metric-value]

no ipv6 rip name default-information

Syntax Description


`name`	Name of the IPv6 RIP routing process.
only	Advertises the IPv6 default route (::/0) only. Suppresses the advertisement of all other routes.
originate	Advertises the IPv6 default route (::/0). The advertisement of other routes is unaffected.

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 rip default-information command is similar to the default-information originate (RIP) command, except that it is IPv6-specific.

Originating a default IPv6 route into RIP also forces the advertisement of the route in router updates sent on the interface. The advertisement of the route occurs regardless of whether the route is present in the IPv6 routing table.

The metric metric-value keyword and argument allow more flexibility in topologies with multiple RIP routers on a LAN. For example, a user may want to configure one of many routers on a LAN as the preferred default router, so that all default route traffic will transit this router. This function can be achieved by configuring the preferred router to advertise a default route with a lower metric than the other routers on the network.

Note

To avoid routing loops after the IPv6 default route (::/0) is originated into a specified RIP routing process, the routing process ignores all default route information received in subsequent IPv6 RIP update messages.

Examples

The following example originates a default IPv6 route into RIP on Ethernet interface 0/0 and advertises only the default route in router updates sent on the interface:


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco default-information only

The following example originates a default IPv6 route into RIP on Ethernet interface 0/0 and advertises the default route with all other routes in router updates sent on the interface:


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco default-information originate

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

When an IPv6 RIP route is received, the interface metric value set by the ipv6 rip metric-offset command is added before the route is inserted into the routing table. Therefore, increasing the IPv6 RIP metric value of an interface increases the metric value of IPv6 RIP routes received over the interface.

Use the ipv6 rip metric-offset command to influence which routes are used, as you prefer. The IPv6 RIP metric is in hop count.

Examples

The following example configures a metric increment of 10 for the RIP routing process named cisco on Ethernet interface 0/0:


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco metric-offset 10

12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 rip summary-address command is similar to the ip summary-address rip command, except that it is IPv6-specific.

Use the ipv6 rip summary-address command to force IPv6 RIP to advertise specific networks on specific interfaces (assuming that routes to those networks exist).

If the first bits of the prefix length for a route match the value specified for the ipv6-prefix argument, the prefix specified in the ipv6-prefix argument is advertised instead of the route. As a result, multiple routes can be replaced by a single route whose metric is the lowest metric of the multiple routes.

Examples

In the following example, the IPv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:1:260:3EFF:FE11:6770 that is assigned to Ethernet interface 0/0 with an IPv6 prefix length of 64 bits is summarized as IPv6 prefix 2001:0DB8::/35 for the IPv6 RIP routing process named cisco:


Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:1:260:3EFF:FE11:6770 /64
Router(config-if)# ipv6 rip cisco summary-address 2001:0DB8::/35

Note

A route advertisement that is suppressed as a result of split horizon is not considered by RIP when RIP is deciding whether to advertise a summary route.

Syntax Description

ipv6-prefix

The IPv6 network that is the destination of the static route. Can also be a host name when static host routes are configured.

/ prefix-length

The length of the IPv6 prefix. A decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the decimal value.

vrf

(Optional) Specifies all virtual private network (VPN) routing/forwarding instance (VRF) tables or a specific VRF table for IPv4 or IPv6 address.

vrf-name

(Optional) Names a specific VRF table for an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

ipv6-address

The IPv6 address of the next hop that can be used to reach the specified network. The IPv6 address of the next hop need not be directly connected; recursion is done to find the IPv6 address of the directly connected next hop.

When an interface type and interface number are specified, you can optionally specify the IPv6 address of the next hop to which packets are output.

Note

You must specify an interface type and an interface number when using a link-local address as the next hop (the link-local next hop must also be an adjacent device).

This argument must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.

interface-type

Interface type. For more information about supported interface types, use the question mark (?) online help function.

You can use the interface-type argument to direct static routes out point-to-point interfaces (such as serial or tunnel interfaces) and broadcast interfaces (such as Ethernet interfaces). When using the interface-type argument with point-to-point interfaces, there is no need to specify the IPv6 address of the next hop. When using the interface-type argument with broadcast interfaces, you should always specify the IPv6 address of the next hop or ensure that the specified prefix is assigned to the link. A link-local address should be specified as the next hop for broadcast interfaces.

interface-number

Interface number. For more information about the numbering syntax for supported interface types, use the question mark (?) online help function.

nexthop-vrf

(Optional) Indicator that the next hop is a VRF.

vrf-name1

(Optional) Name of the next-hop VRF.

default

(Optional) Indicator that the next hop is the default.

administrative-distance

(Optional) An administrative distance. The default value is 1, which gives static routes precedence over any other type of route except connected routes.

administrative- multicast-distance

(Optional) The distance used when selecting this route for multicast Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF).

unicast

(Optional) Specifies a route that must not be used in multicast RPF selection.

multicast

(Optional) Specifies a route that must not be populated in the unicast Routing Information Base (RIB).

next-hop-address

(Optional) Address of the next hop that can be used to reach the specified network.

tag tag

(Optional) Tag value that can be used as a "match" value for controlling redistribution via route maps.

15.2(2)SA2	This command was implemented on the Cisco ME 2600X Series Ethernet Access Switches.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 route command to implement static multicast routes in IPv6. For a static multicast route, the IPv6 address of the next-hop device must be provided. The administrative-multicast-distance argument determines the distance that will be used when selecting this route for RPF. When the unicast keyword is used, this route will not be used in multicast RPF selection.

When the ipv6 route command is used with the multicast keyword, the route will not be populated in the unicast RIB. When the optional administrative-multicast-distance argument is not specified, the multicast RPF administrative distance defaults to the same value as that determined by the administrative-distance argument.

Examples

The following example shows a static route that applies to unicast routing only:


ipv6 route 2001::/64 5::5 100 unicast

The following example shows a static route used only for multicast RPF selection:


ipv6 route 2001::/64 7::7 100 multicast

The following example shows a static route used for both unicast routing and multicast RPF selection:


ipv6 route 2001::/64 6::6 100

The following example shows a static route used for both unicast routing and multicast RPF selection, but with different administrative distances:


ipv6 route 10::/64 7::7 100 200

The following example configures a static route for use in VPN for IPv6:


ipv6 route vrf red 4004::/64 pos 1/0

The following example configures a static default route within a VRF. Use of the global keyword in this static route provides access to the Internet:


ipv6 route vrf red ::0/0 7007::1 global

15.1(2)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)T.
15.1(1)SG	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG.
15.1(1)SY	This command was modified. Support for IPv6 was added to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SY.
15.2(2)SNG	This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 route static bfd command to specify static route neighbors. All of the static routes that have the same interface and gateway specified in the configuration share the same BFDv6 session for reachability notification. BFDv6 requires that BFDv6 sessions are initiated on both endpoint routers. Therefore, this command must be configured on each endpoint router. An IPv6 static BFDv6 neighbor must be fully specified (with the interface and the neighbor address) and must be directly attached.

All static routes that specify the same values for vrf vrf-name, interface-type interface-number , and ipv6-address will automatically use BFDv6 to determine gateway reachability and take advantage of fast failure detection.

Examples

The following example creates a neighbor on Ethernet interface 0/0 with an address of 2001::1:

Router(global config)# ipv6 route static bfd ethernet 0/0 2001::1

The following example converts the neighbor to unassociated mode:

Router(global config)# ipv6 route static bfd ethernet 0/0 2001::1 unassociated

Usage Guidelines

Before the IPv6 IS-IS routing process can be configured, IPv6 routing must be enabled using the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command, and an IPv6 address must be configured on an interface using either the ipv6 enable interface configuration command or the the ipv6 address interface configuration command. The ipv6 enable command will automatically configure an IPv6 link-local address on the interface.

Examples

The following example specifies IS-IS as an IPv6 routing protocol for a process named Finance. The Finance process will run over the Fast Ethernet interface 0/1.


Device(config)# router isis Finance
Device(config-router)# net 49.0001.aaaa.aaaa.aaaa.00
Device(config-router)# exit
Device(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/1

ipv6 source-route

To enable processing of the IPv6 type 0 routing header (the IPv6 source routing header), use the ipv6 source-route command in global configuration mode. To disable the processing of this IPv6 extension header, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 source-route

no ipv6 source-route

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

The no version of the ipv6 source-route command is the default. When the router receives a packet with a type 0 routing header, the router drops the packet and sends an IPv6 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error message back to the source and logs an appropriate debug message.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.3(4)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB1	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB1.
12.4(15)T	The default was changed to be the no version of the ipv6 source-route command. When the router receives a packet with a type 0 routing header, the router drops the packet and sends an IPv6 ICMP error message back to the source and logs an appropriate debug message.
12.2(33)SRC	Changes made to this command were integrated into Cisco IOS 12.2(33)SRC.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5	This command was updated. It was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5.

Usage Guidelines

The default was changed to be the no version of the ipv6 source-route command, which means this functionality is not enabled. Before this change, this functionality was enabled automatically. User who had configured the no ipv6 source-route command before the default was changed will continue to see this configuration in their show config command output, even though the no version of the command is the default.

The no ipv6 source-route command (which is the default) prevents hosts from performing source routing using your routers. When the no ipv6 source-route command is configured and the router receives a packet with a type0 source routing header, the router drops the packet and sends an IPv6 ICMP error message back to the source and logs an appropriate debug message.

In IPv6, source routing is performed only by the destination of the packet. Therefore, in order to stop source routing from occurring inside your network, you need to configure an IPv6 access control list (ACL) that includes the following rule:


deny ipv6 any any routing

The rate at which the router generates all IPv6 ICMP error messages can be limited by using the ipv6 icmp error-interval command.

Examples

The following example disables the processing of IPv6 type 0 routing headers:


no ipv6 source-route

Related Commands


Command	Description
deny (IPv6)	Sets deny conditions for an IPv6 access list.
ipv6 icmp error-interval	Configures the interval for IPv6 ICMP error messages.

ipv6 spd mode

To configure an IPv6 Selective Packet Discard (SPD) mode, use the ipv6 spd mode command in global configuration mode. To remove the IPv6 SPD mode, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 spd mode {aggressive | tos protocol ospf}

no ipv6 spd mode {aggressive | tos protocol ospf}

Syntax Description


aggressive	Aggressive drop mode discards incorrectly formatted packets when the IPv6 SPD is in random drop state.
tos protocol o spf	OSPF mode allows OSPF packets to be handled with SPD priority.

Command Default

No IPv6 SPD mode is configured.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6	This command was introduced.
15.1(3)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T.

Usage Guidelines

The default setting for the IPv6 SPD mode is none, but you may want to use the ipv6 spd mode command to configure a mode to be used when a certain SPD state is reached.

The aggressive keyword enables aggressive drop mode, which drops deformed packets when IPv6 SPD is in random drop state. The ospf keyword enables OSPF mode, in which OSPF packets are handled with SPD priority.

The size of the process input queue governs the SPD state: normal (no drop), random drop, or max. When the process input queue is less than the SPD minimum threshold, SPD takes no action and enters normal state. In the normal state, no packets are dropped. When the input queue reaches the maximum threshold, SPD enters max state, in which normal priority packets are discarded. If the input queue is between the minimum and maximum thresholds, SPD enters the random drop state, in which normal packets may be dropped.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the router to drop deformed packets when the router is in the random drop state:


Router(config)# ipv6 spf mode aggressive

Related Commands


Command	Description
ipv6 spd queue max-threshold	Configures the maximum number of packets in the IPv6 SPD process input queue.
ipv6 spd queue min-threshold	Configures the minimum number of packets in the IPv6 SPD process input queue.
show ipv6 spd	Displays the IPv6 SPD configuration.

ipv6 spd queue max-threshold

ipv6 spd queue max-threshold value

no ipv6 spd queue max-threshold

Syntax Description


`value`	Number of packets. The range is from 0 through 65535.

Command Default

No SPD queue maximum threshold value is configured.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.2(33)SXH	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRC	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6.
15.1(3)T	This command was modified. The `value` argument range was changed from 4096 through 65535 to 0 through 65535.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 spd queue max-threshold command to configure the SPD queue maximum threshold value.

The size of the process input queue governs the SPD state: normal (no drop), random drop, or max. When the process input queue is less than the SPD minimum threshold, SPD takes no action and enters normal state. In the normal state, no packets are dropped. When the input queue reaches the maximum threshold, SPD enters max state, in which normal priority packets are discarded. If the input queue is between the minimum and maximum thresholds, SPD enters the random drop state, in which normal packets may be dropped.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the maximum threshold value of the queue to 60,000:


Router(config)# ipv6 spd queue max-threshold 60000

Related Commands


Command	Description
ipv6 spd queue min-threshold	Configures the minimum number of packets in the IPv6 SPD process input queue.

no ipv6 spd queue min-threshold

Syntax Description


`value`	Number of packets. The range is from 0 through 65535.

Command Default

No SPD queue minimum threshold is configured.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6	This command was introduced.
15.1(3)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)T.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 spd queue min-threshold command to configure the SPD queue minimum threshold, which determines IPv6 state transition from normal to random drop state. The minimum threshold value must be lower than the maximum threshold setting.

The size of the process input queue governs the SPD state: normal (no drop), random drop, or max. When the process input queue is less than the SPD minimum threshold, SPD takes no action and enters normal state. In the normal state, no packets are dropped. When the input queue reaches the maximum threshold, SPD enters max state, in which normal priority packets are discarded. If the input queue is between the minimum and maximum thresholds, SPD enters the random drop state, in which normal packets may be dropped.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the IPv6 SPD minimum threshold to 4094 packets:


Router(config)# ipv6 spd queue min-threshold 4094

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(6)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRB	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB.
12.2(33)SXH	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1	This command was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.

Usage Guidelines

For networks that include links over X.25 packet-switched networks (PSNs), you can use the neighbor command in router configuration mode to disable the split horizon feature. Or, you can specify the no ipv6 split-horizon eigrp command in your configuration. However, if you do disable the split horizon feature, you must similarly disable split horizon for all routers and access servers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

Note

In general, we recommend that you not change the default state of split horizon unless you are certain that your application requires the change in order to advertise routes properly. Remember that if split horizon is disabled on a serial interface and that interface is attached to a packet-switched network, you must disable split horizon for all routers and access servers in any relevant multicast groups on that network.

Examples

The following example disables split horizon on a serial link connected to an X.25 network:


interface serial 0
 encapsulation x25
 no ipv6 split-horizon eigrp 101
