Usage Guidelines

A VFI is a collection of data structures used by the data plane, software-based or hardware-based, to forward packets to one or more virtual circuits (VC). It is populated and updated by both the control plane and the data plane and also serves as the data structure interface between the control plane and the data plane.

Within the Layer 2 VFI manual configuration mode, you can configure the following parameters:

  • VPN ID of a Virtual private LAN service (VPLS) domain

  • Addresses of other PE routers in this domain

  • Type of tunnel signaling and encapsulation mechanism for each peer

Within the Layer 2 VFI manual configuration mode, the following commands are available:

  • vpn id vpn-id

  • [no ] neighbor remote-router-id {encapsulation {l2tpv3 | mpls } | pw-class pw-name | no-split-horizon }

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

Usage Guidelines

Prior to entering the lacp fast-switchover command, you must ensure the following:

  • The port channel protocol type is LACP.

  • The lacp max-bundle 1 command has been entered on the port channel. The lacp fast-switchover command will not affect the lacp max-bundle command.

When you enable LACP 1:1 link redundancy, based on the system priority and port priority, the port with the higher system priority chooses the link as the active link and the other link as the standby link. When the active link fails, the standby link is selected as the new active link without taking down the port channel. When the original active link recovers, it reverts to its active link status. During this change-over, the port channel is also up.


Note

We recommend that you configure two ports only (one active and one hot-standby) in the bundle for optimum performance.

You can enter this command on any port channels with different EtherChannel protocol types of LACP, Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), or Fast EtherChannel (FEC).

Examples

This example shows how to enable LACP 1:1 link redundancy: 


Router(config-if)# lacp fast-switchover

This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Usage Guidelines

You may assign a port priority to each port on a device running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). You can specify the port priority by using the lacp port-priority command at the command-line interface (CLI) or use the default port priority (32768) that is carried as part of the LACP protocol data unit (PDU) exchanged with the partner. Port priority is used to decide which ports should be put in standby mode when a hardware limitation or the lacp max-bundle command configuration prevents all compatible ports from aggregating. Priority is supported only on port channels with LACP-enabled physical interfaces.


Note

A high priority number means a low priority.

Port priority together with port number form a port identifier.

To verify the configured port priority, issue the show lacp command.

Examples

This example shows how to set a priority of 23700 for an interface: 


Device> enable
Device#  configure terminal

Usage Guidelines

You can assign a system priority to each device running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). You can specify the system priority by using the lacp system-priority command at the command-line interface (CLI) or use the default system priority (32768) that is carried as part of the LACP protocol data unit (PDU) exchanged with the partner. System priority is used with the MAC address of the device to form the system ID and also is used during negotiation with other systems. Priority is supported only on port channels with LACP-enabled physical interfaces.


Note

A high priority number means a low priority.

To verify the configured system priority, issue the show lacp command.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a system priority of 25500 for a device: 


Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# lacp system-priority 25500

12.2(15)T

This command is no longer supported in Cisco_IOS Mainline or Technology-based (T) releases. It may continue to appear in Cisco_IOS 12.2S-family releases.

Usage Guidelines

Use the lexinput-address-list command to filter the packets that are allowed to pass from the LAN Extender to the core router. The access list filters packets on the basis of the source MAC address.

The LAN Extender interface does not process MAC-address masks. Therefore, you should omit the mask from the access-list commands.

For LAN Extender interfaces, an implicit permit everything entry is automatically defined at the end of an access list. Note that this default differs from other access lists, which have an implicit deny everything entry at the end of each access list.

Examples

The following example applies access list 710 to LAN Extender interface 0. This access list denies all packets from MAC address 0800.0214.2776 and permits all other packets. 


Router(config-if)# access-list 710 deny 0800.0214.2776

Usage Guidelines

The time time keyword and argument are supported on Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces only.

The linkdebounce command is not supported on the following modules in releases prior to Release 2.2(17a)SX:

  • WS-X6501-10GEX4

  • WS-X6502-10GE

The debounce timer sets the amount of time that the firmware waits before it notifies the software that the link is down. The debounce timer does not apply to linkup because the linkup is immediately notified by the firmware.

The default debounce time applies when you enter the linkdebounce command with no arguments. For example, when you enter the linkdebouncetime100 command, it is equivalent to entering the linkdebounce command with no arguments and you will see the following link debounce entry in the configuration: 


interface GigabitEthernet1/1
 no ip address
 link debounce

Enter the showinterfacesdebounce command to display the debounce configuration of an interface.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the debounce timer on a Gigabit Ethernet fiber interface: 


Router(config-if)# link debounce time 100

load-balancing

To apply a load-balancing method to a Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) interface, use the load-balancing command in interface configuration mode. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.

load-balancing {flow | vlan}

no load-balancing

Syntax Description

flow

Flow-based load balancing is used.

vlan

VLAN-manual load balancing is used.

Command Default

The port channel uses the global load-balancing configuration.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release

Modification

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The load-balancing command sets the load-balancing method on a specific port channel. The load-balancing method configured with this command takes precedence over the global configuration defined with the port-channelload-balancingvlan-manual command.

If you do not explicitly configure load balancing either globally or on the port channel, the load-balancing method on the port channel is set to flow-based.

Load balancing uses the concept of buckets to map traffic flows to the member links of the port channel. The different traffic flows are mapped to the buckets and each bucket has one active member link associated with it. All flows that are mapped to a bucket use the member link associated with that bucket.

There are two methods of load balancing on a GEC interface:

  • VLAN-manual--All packets forwarded over the same VLAN subinterface are considered part of the same flow and are mapped to the member link specified in the configuration.

  • Flow-based--Traffic flows are mapped to different member links based on the packet header.

Examples

This example shows how to set the load-balancing method to VLAN-manual: 


Router(config)# interface port-channel 1
Router(config-if)# load-balancing vlan

Related Commands

no load-interval seconds

Syntax Description

seconds

Length of time for which data is used to compute load statistics. Value is a multiple of 30, from 30 to 600 (30, 60, 90, 120, and so on). The default is 300 seconds.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6E

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6E. This command is supported in template configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

To make computations more reactive to short bursts of traffic, you can shorten the length of time over which load averages are computed.

If the load interval is set to 30 seconds, new data is used for load calculations over a 30-second period. This data is used to compute load statistics, including the input rate in bits and packets per second, the output rate in bits and packets per second, the load, and reliability.

Load data is gathered every five seconds. This data is used for a weighted-average calculation in which recent load data has more weight in the computation than older load data. If the load interval is set to 30 seconds, the average is computed for the last 30 seconds of load data.

If you change the calculation interval from the default of five minutes to a shorter period of time, the input and output statistics that are displayed by the show interface command or the show frame-relay pvc command will be more current and will be based on more nearly instantaneous data, rather than reflecting the average load over a longer period of time.

This command is often used for dial backup purposes to increase or decrease the likelihood of implementation of a backup interface, but it can be used on any interface.

Examples

Examples

In the following example, the default average of five minutes is changed to a 30-second average. A burst in traffic that would not trigger a dial backup for an interface configured with the default five-minute interval might trigger a dial backup for this interface, which is set for the shorter 30-second interval. 


Router(config)# interface serial 0
Router(config-if)# load-interval 30

Examples

In the following example, the load interval is set to 60 seconds for a Frame Relay PVC with the DLCI 100: 


Router(config)# interface serial 1/1
Router(config-if)# frame-relay interface-dlci 100
Router(config-fr-dlci)# load-interval 60

Examples

In the following example, the load interval is set to 60 seconds in an interface template: 


Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# template user-template1
Device(config-template)# load-interval 60 
Device(config-template)# end

12.2SX

This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be configured on the Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) and non-VRF interfaces. Normally, a syslog message contains the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the interface used to leave the router. The loggingsource-interface command configures the syslog packets contain the IP or IPv6 address of a particular interface, regardless of which interface the packet uses to exit the router.

When no specific interface is configured, a wildcard interface address of 0.0.0.0 (for IPv4) or :: (for IPv6) is used, and the IP socket selects the best outbound interface.

Examples

In the following example, the user specifies that the IP address of Ethernet interface 0 is the source IP address for all syslog messages: 


Router(config)# logging source-interface ethernet 0

The following example specifies that the IP address for Ethernet interface 2/1 is the source IP address for all syslog messages: 


Router(config)# logging source-interface ethernet 2/1

The following sample output displays that the loggingsource-interface command is configured on a VRF source interface: 


Router# show running interface loopback49
             Building configuration...
             Current configuration : 84 bytes

Loopback on MCI and SCI Serial Interface Cards

On MCI and SCI serial interface cards, the loopback functions when a CSU/DSU or equivalent device is attached to the router or access server. The loopback command loops the packets through the CSU/DSU to configure a CSU loop, when the device supports this feature.

Loopback on MCI and MEC Ethernet Cards

On the MCI and MEC Ethernet cards, the interface receives back every packet it sends when the loopback command is enabled. Loopback operation has the additional effect of disconnecting network server functionality from the network.

Loopback on CSC-FCI FDDI Cards

On the CSC-FCI FDDI card, the interface receives back every packet it sends when the loopback command is enabled. Loopback operation has the additional effect of disconnecting network server functionality from the network.

Loopback on Token Ring Interface Cards

On all Token Ring interface cards (except the 4-megabit CSC-R card), the interface receives back every packet it sends when the loopback command is enabled. Loopback operation has the additional effect of disconnecting network server functionality from the network.

Active Loopback Interfaces

To show interfaces currently in loopback operation, use the showinterfacesloopback EXEC command.


Note

Loopback does not work on an X.21 DTE because the X.21 interface definition does not include a loopback definition.
