scope

To define the scope for a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing session and to enter router scope configuration mode, use the scope command in router configuration mode. To remove the scope configuration, use the no form of this command.

scope {global | vrf vrf-name}

no scope {global | vrf vrf-name}

Syntax Description

global

Configures BGP to use the global routing table or a specific topology table.

vrf

Configures BGP to use a specific VRF routing table.

vrf-name

Name of an existing VRF.


Command Default

No scope is defined for a BGP routing session.

12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A new configuration hierarchy, named scope, has been introduced into the BGP protocol. To implement Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) support for BGP, the scope hierarchy is required, but the scope hierarchy is not limited to MTR use. The scope hierarchy introduces some new configuration modes such as router scope configuration mode. Router scope configuration mode is entered by configuring the scope command in router configuration mode, and a collection of routing tables is created when this command is entered. The scope is configured to isolate routing calculation for a single network (globally) or on a per-VRF basis, and BGP commands configured in routing scope configuration mode are referred to as scoped commands. The scope hierarchy can contain one or more address families.

The BGP command-line interface (CLI) has been modified to provide backwards compatibility for pre-MTR BGP configuration and to provide a hierarchal implementation of MTR. From router scope configuration mode, MTR is configured first by entering the address-family command to enter the desired address family and then by entering the topology command to define the topology


Note Configuring a scope for a BGP routing process removes CLI support for pre-MTR-based configuration.


Examples

The following example defines a global scope that includes both unicast and multicast topology configurations. Another scope is specifically defined only for the VRF named DATA.

Router(config)# router bgp 45000 
Router(config-router)# scope global
Router(config-router-scope)# bgp default ipv4-unicast
Router(config-router-scope)# neighbor 172.16.1.2 remote-as 45000

This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SRE

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


Usage Guidelines

The service-policy type class-routing command is used to attach a service policy to a policy map for MTR traffic classification. MTR traffic classification is used to configure topology-specific forwarding behaviors when multiple topologies are configured on the same router. Class-specific packets are associated with the corresponding topology table forwarding entries.

After the service-policy type class-routing command is entered, MTR is activated.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure traffic classification for a topology instance named VOICE:

Router(config)# global-address-family ipv4 
Router(config-af)# topology VOICE 
Router(config-af-topology)# all-interfaces 
Router(config-af-topology)# exit 
Router(config-af)# exit 
Router(config)# class-map match-any DATA

Table 5 show ip eigrp topology Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

Codes

State of this topology table entry. Passive and Active refer to the EIGRP state with respect to this destination; Update, Query, and Reply refer to the type of packet that is being sent.

P - Passive

No EIGRP computations are being performed for this destination.

A - Active

EIGRP computations are being performed for this destination.

U - Update

Indicates that a pending update packet is waiting to be sent for this route.

Q - Query

Indicates that a pending query packet is waiting to be sent for this route.

R - Reply

Indicates that a pending reply packet is waiting to be sent for this route.

r - Reply status

Indicates that EIGRP has sent a query for the route and is waiting for a reply from the specified path.

10.16.90.0

Destination IP network number.

255.255.255.0

Destination subnet mask.

successors

Number of successors. This number corresponds to the number of next hops in the IP routing table. If "successors" is capitalized, then the route or next hop is in a transition state.

serno

Serial number.

FD

Feasible distance. The feasible distance is the best metric to reach the destination or the best metric that was known when the route went active. This value is used in the feasibility condition check. If the reported distance of the router (the metric after the slash) is less than the feasible distance, the feasibility condition is met and that path is a feasible successor. Once the software determines it has a feasible successor, it need not send a query for that destination.

via

IP address of the peer that told the software about this destination. The first n of these entries, where n is the number of successors, is the current successors. The remaining entries on the list are feasible successors.

(409600/128256)

The first number is the EIGRP metric that represents the cost to the destination. The second number is the EIGRP metric that this peer advertised.

Description

show eigrp address-family topology

Displays entries in the EIGRP topology table.


show ip interface (MTR)

To display the usability status of interfaces configured for IP or to display IP traffic statistics for all interfaces or for a particular interface, use the show ip interface command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode.

show ip interface [type number] [topology {name | all | base}] [stats]

Syntax Description

type

(Optional) Interface type.

number

(Optional) Interface number.

topology

(Optional) Displays IP traffic statistics related to a particular topology.

name

(Optional) The topology instance.

all

(Optional) Displays statistics for all topologies.

base

(Optional) Displays base topology statistics.

stats

(Optional) Displays IP traffic statistics without topology awareness, that is, an aggregate of all topologies is displayed.


Command Default

The Cisco IOS software automatically enters a directly connected route in the routing table if the interface is usable. A usable interface is defined as one that can send and receive packets. If an interface is not usable, the directly connected routing entry is removed from the routing table. Removing the entry allows the software to use dynamic routing protocols to determine backup routes to the network, if any.

If the interface can provide two-way communication, the line protocol is marked "up." If the interface hardware is usable, the interface is marked "up."

If you specify an optional interface type and number, you see information for that specific interface.

If you specify no optional arguments, you see information on all the interfaces.

Modification

12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SRE

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


Usage Guidelines

Use the show ip interface command to display IP traffic statistics. When the stats keyword is used by itself, this command displays IP traffic statistics without topology awareness (an aggregate of all topologies). When the topology keyword and name argument are used, the statistics are limited to the IP traffic for that specific topology. The topology base keyword is reserved for IPv4 unicast base topology. Use the all keyword to display all topologies.

There are no statistics collected for the interface by default. Statistics collection for Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) is enabled by using the ip topology-accounting command in interface configuration mode.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show ip interface command:

Router# show ip interface FastEthernet 1/10 stats 
FastEthernet1/10       
	5 minutes input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packet/sec,
	5 minutes output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packet/sec,

12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The topology (BGP) command is used in a Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) configuration to enable a specific topology inside a BGP address family session. Command configurations after the topology command is entered apply only to the topology instance. The topology must first be defined globally using the global-address-family command in global configuration mode before the topology can be configured under the BGP routing session. The topology (BGP) command is entered under a BGP router scope hierarchy that includes an address family configuration.

Examples

The following example configures a BGP peering session with the 192.168.3.2 neighbor under the VOICE topology:

Router(config)# global-address-family ipv4
Router(config-af)# topology VOICE
Router(config-af-topology)# all-interfaces
Router(config-af-topology)# exit
Router(config-af)# exit 
Router(config)# router bgp 45000

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5.


Usage Guidelines

The topology command is used in a Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) configuration to enable an EIGRP process under the specified topology. The topology command is entered under address-family configuration mode. Command configurations are applied only to the topology instance. The topology must be defined globally with the global-address-family command in global address-family configuration mode before the topology can be configured under the EIGRP process.

The tid keyword associates an ID with the topology instance. Each topology must be configured with a unique topology ID. The topology ID is used to identify and group Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) for each topology in EIGRP updates.

The topology ID must be consistent across routers so that EIGRP can correctly associate topologies.

Examples

The following example configures EIGRP process 1 to route traffic for the 192.168.0.0/16 network under the VOICE topology instance:

Router(config)# router eigrp 1 
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 3
Router(config-router-af)# topology VOICE tid 100
Router(config-router-af-topology)# no auto-summary

12.2(33)SRE

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


Usage Guidelines

The topology (global) command is used to configure a topology instance and enter routing topology configuration mode. Up to 32 unicast and a single multicast topology can be configured on a router. In routing topology configuration mode, the following global topology configuration parameters are applied:

Global interface configuration—The topology is configured on all interfaces by entering the all-interfaces command. All interfaces are removed from the topology by entering the no form of this command, which is the default.

Forwarding mode—The method that the router uses to look up forwarding entries in the FIB is configured by entering the forward-base command. Entering this command enables "incremental" forwarding mode. Entering the no form enables "strict" forwarding mode, which is the default. In strict mode, the router will look for a forwarding entry only within the class-specific topology FIB. If an entry is not found, the packet is dropped. In incremental mode, the router will first look in the class-specific topology FIB. If a covering forwarding entry is not found, the router will then look in the base topology FIB.

Maximum route limit—A limit for the number of routes that will be permitted in the topology and installed to the topology RIB is configured by entering the maximum routes (MTR) command. This functionality is similar to routing and VPN maximum route features. No limit is the default.


Note Per-interface topology configuration parameters override configurations applied in global address family topology configuration and routing topology configuration mode.


Examples

The following example creates a topology instance named VOICE. The router is configured to use incremental forwarding mode and to generate warning messages when 1000 routes have been accepted/installed in the VOICE topology RIB:

Router(config)# global-address-family ipv4 
Router(config-af)# topology VOICE 
Router(config-af-topology)# forward-base 
Router(config-af-topology)# maximum routes 1000 warn-only

traceroute

To discover the routes that packets will actually take when traveling to their destination address, use the traceroute command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode.

traceroute [vrf vrf-name | topology topology-name] [protocol] destination

Syntax Description

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) Specifies the name of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance table in which to find the destination address. The only keyword that you can select for the protocol argument when you use the vrf vrf-name keyword-argument pair is the ip keyword.

topology topology-name

(Optional) Specifies the name of the topology instance. The topology-name argument is case-sensitive; "VOICE" and "voice" specify different topologies.

protocol

(Optional) Protocol keyword, either appletalk, clns, ip, ipv6, ipx, oldvines, or vines. When not specified, the protocol argument is based on an examination by the software of the format of the destination argument. The default protocol is IP.

destination

(Optional in privileged EXEC mode; required in user EXEC mode) The destination address or hostname for which you want to trace the route. The software determines the default parameters for the appropriate protocol and the tracing action begins.


Command Default

When not specified, the protocol argument is determined by the software examining the format of the destination argument. For example, if the software finds a destination argument in IP format, the protocol value defaults to IP.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S

This command was modified. When the vrf keyword is used, the output displays the incoming VRF name/tag and the outgoing VRF name/tag.


Usage Guidelines

The traceroute command works by taking advantage of the error messages generated by routers when a datagram exceeds its hop limit value.

The traceroute command starts by sending probe datagrams with a hop limit of 1. Including a hop limit of 1 with a probe datagram causes the neighboring routers to discard the probe datagram and send back an error message. The traceroute command sends several probes with increasing hop limits and displays the round-trip time for each.

The traceroute command sends out one probe at a time. Each outgoing packet might result in one or more error messages. A time-exceeded error message indicates that an intermediate router has seen and discarded the probe. A destination unreachable error message indicates that the destination node has received and discarded the probe because the hop limit of the packet reached a value of 0. If the timer goes off before a response comes in, the traceroute command prints an asterisk (*).

The traceroute command terminates when the destination responds, when the hop limit is exceeded, or when the user interrupts the trace with the escape sequence. By default, to invoke the escape sequence, type Ctrl-^ X—by simultaneously pressing and releasing the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, and then pressing the X key.

To use nondefault parameters and invoke an extended traceroute test, enter the command without a protocol or destination argument in privileged EXEC mode. You are stepped through a dialog to select the desired parameters. Extended traceroute tests are not supported in user EXEC mode. The user-level traceroute feature provides a basic trace facility for users who do not have system privileges. The destination argument is required in user EXEC mode.

If the system cannot map an address for a hostname, it returns a "%No valid source address for destination" message.

If the vrf vrf-name keyword and argument are used, the topology option is not displayed because only the default VRF is supported. The topology topology-name keyword and argument and the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) option in the extended traceroute system dialog are displayed only if a topology is configured on the router.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S, output of the traceroute command with the vrf keyword was enhanced to make troubleshooting easier by displaying the incoming VRF name/tag and the outgoing VRF name/tag.

Examples

After you enter the traceroute command in privileged EXEC mode, the system prompts you for a protocol. The default protocol is IP.

If you enter a hostname or address on the same line as the traceroute command, the default action is taken as appropriate for the protocol type of that name or address.

The following example is sample dialog from the traceroute command using default values. The specific dialog varies somewhat from protocol to protocol.

Router# traceroute

Protocol [ip]:
Target IP address: 
Source address:
DSCP Value [0]: ! Only displayed if a topology is configured on the router.
Numeric display [n]:
Timeout in seconds [3]:
Probe count [3]:
Minimum Time to Live [1]:
Maximum Time to Live [30]:
Port Number [33434]:
Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose [none]:

The following example displays output available in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S and later. Output of the traceroute command with the vrf keyword includes the incoming VRF name/tag and the outgoing VRF name/tag.

Router# traceroute vrf red 10.0.10.12
