1.1 Connection Modes

The ZXR10 5900E supports several connection modes, see Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 ZXR10 5900E's Configuration Methods
Users can use different connection modes based on the network type. The connection
modes are as follows:
l Console port: the primary mode for users to configure the ZXR10 5900E.
l Telnet/SSH mode: allows users to configure the ZXR10 5900E at any reachable place
in the network.
l NM workstation mode: If this mode is used, the corresponding NM software supporting
SNMP is required
l TFTP/FTP mode: allows users to download or upload the configuration file to update
the ZXR10 5900E's configuration.
1.1.1 FTP Connection Configurations

The use of FTP is to improve the degree of sharing files by using a remote PC, which makes
the storage medium transparent for users and transports data reliably and efficiently.
Figure 1-2 shows the network scenario for an FTP server. The IP address of switch A is
192.168.65.2/24, and the IP address of switch B is 192.168.65.5/24.

1.1.4 Telnet Connection Configuration

Telnet is generally used for configuring a switch in a remote manner. To enable telnet
access, the operator should set the corresponding username and password on the remote
switch. Moreover, the local host should ping the remote switch successfully.
After Telnet username and password are set, only authorized users can access the switch
through Telnet.
For the telnet username and password configuration, refer to the “ADM_MGR
Configuration” section in the ZXR10 5900E Security Volume.
Command Function
ZXR10(config-system-user)#user-name <username> Specifies the telnet username and

password.
ZXR10(config-system-user-username)#password<password>
To bind an authentication template for logging in to the corresponding switch through a

username and password, use the following commands:
ZXR10(config)#radius authentication-group 1
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#algorithm round-robin
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#ip vrf mng
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#deadtime 1
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#nas-ip-address 192.168.1.10
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#server 1 192.168.0.200 key 123456
ZXR10(config-authgrp-1)#exit

1.1.5 SSH Connection Configuration

All transmitted data can be encrypted by using SSH. SSH can replace Telnet.
SSH is a key-based security authentication. A pair of keys should be created and the
public key is stored on the server to be accessed. Before an SSH client connects to the
SSH server, it requests the server to perform security authentication by using keys. Upon
receipt of the request, the SSH server searches for the public key in the directory, and
compares the public key with the received key. If the two keys are the same, the server
uses the public key to encrypt the challenge message and then sends the message to the
client. The client then decrypts the challenge messages and returns it to the server.
Configuring SSH
To configure SSH on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#ssh server enable [listen Enables the SSH server function. This
{<22>|<49152-65535>}] function is disabled by default.
ZXR10(config)#ssh server disable Disables the SSH server function.

1.2 Command Modes

For users to configure and manage routers conveniently, ZXR10 5900E assigns
commands to different modes according to different functions and rights. A command can
only be carried out in a special mode.
In any command mode, just enter a question mark "?", and the commands that can be
used in the mode can be viewed.
Command modes of ZXR10 5900E are as follows.
User Mode
When logging in to the system in HyperTerminal mode, the user enters the user mode
automatically. If using Telnet mode for login, a user enters into user mode after entering
the user name and password.
DOS prompt of user mode is host name of router followed by a ">", as follows (the default
host name is ZXR10):
ZXR10>

2.1 File System Management

2.1.1 File System Management Overview
On ZXR10 5900E, the main control board has a flash card. The file directory is /flash.
Partition usage introduction is shown below:
l In the /flash directory, users can manage files, such as rename, delete, dir and copy.
They can create and delete directories.
l Version file, configuration file, system halted file and abnormal log are restored in
/flash.
The file operations, such as copy, delete, are low speed device operations. Therefore,
when multiple terminals are used, to decrease the influence of one terminal operation to
another terminal operation, all operation of file system will be achieved by an independent
process. This process includes two working modules, one working module is responsible
for process all file operation commands and the returning and showing of corresponding
data, another working module with lower priority is responsible for perform several
persistent operations, copy, delete, format, mount and umount.
In addition, the function that show the content of file operation can be achieved by using
more command, and it also can be achieved by Telnet process. The advantage of Telnet
process is that it can reduce the communication processing in the system. However,
considering that file storage devices are used by other service boards and the file system
operation are possible to be required, therefore, all of the file operation commands is used
in file operation process.
2.1.2 Managing Files

^ It is the starting of character string. ^a only matches a character in the

starting of character string.
^ The ^ following with [ has different meaning. It is used to exclude the

characters in the bracket from the destination string processing. For
example, [^0-9] means that the destination character cannot be a number.
$ It is the ending of character string. For example, abc$ only matches the abc
substring at the ending of character string.
| It permits any regular expressions at its both sides to match the destination
string. For example, a|b matches a or b.
. Match any character.
* In the expression, the left character (or element) matches one or many times.
+ Similar to *, the left character matches one or many times.
? Match the right character one or many times.
() As a complete unit, it influences on the model calculation sequence. As a

label expression, use another expression to replace the matched substring.
[] Character set, any character can match the destination string.

2.4 Version Upgrade

2.4.1 Version Upgrading Overview
Terms referred to version upgrading are described below.
l Version: It is a general designation of the files required by system running.
l Distribution set: It is a file that all versions are packed together according to some
rules.
Version upgrading means that in the current device, the runnings of all versions in each
card are stopped, and each card uses the version coming from the new distribution set.
Generally, version upgrading is performed for the following two conditions,

l The old version does not support some functions.
l The device fails to run because some special reasons.
If the version upgrading is not operated well, the upgrading will be failed, and the system
will be halted in severe case. Therefore, the maintenance staffs have to read this document
and learn the steps for version upgrading before performing version upgrading.
On ZXR10 5900E, there are two version upgrading modes,

2.5 VSC Configuration

2.5.1 VSC Overview
As a network virtualization technology, the Virtual Switch Cluster (VSC) is used to combine
multiple single devices into a virtual one. These combined devices are interconnected
through VSC boards, and discover each other through the Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP). Through a specific mechanism, one of these devices is elected as the primary
node, and the rest of devices are forced to assume the role of forwarding messages.
In general cases, the device role election mechanism elects the device with the smallest
number as the primary device. If the primary device or the link between the devices in the
VSC system is down, the secondary device immediately takes over the VSC system. This
mechanism ensures normal system operation and traffic forwarding.
The ZXR10 5900E supports creating the VSC system through the configuration. The VSC
configuration items include the operation mode, member number, VSC domain, VSC port
and conflict detection. The ZXR10 5900E also supports the display of the configuration
and operation information of the VSC system.
VSC-related terms are as follows:
1. Running mode: independent or VSC.
l Independent mode: In this mode, the device can only operate as a single PC,
meaning that it cannot form a VSC with other devices.
l VSC mode: In this mode, the device can form a VSC with other devices through
interconnection.
2. Role: If the device operates in VSC mode, it can have the Master, Slave or Standby
role based on the function.
l Master: manages the VSC system.
l Slave: operates as the standby device of the master device.
If the master device is faulty, the system elects a new master device from slave
devices to take over the services of the original master device. A VSC has only
one master device.
l Standby: operates as a working device, and is not available for management.

3. VSC domain: Domain is a logical concept. A VSC is formed after devices are
interconnected through VSC links. A set of these member devices is a VSC domain.
One device can belong to only a VSC domain.
4. Member ID: uniquely identifies member devices in the VSC.
5. Stack port: port for communication between devices when two or more devices are
used to form the VSC system. Aggregated by 10 GE or 40 GE ports, these ports are
logical ports similar to smartgroup ports.

6. VSC aggregation: After two independent VSC systems (typically two single VSC
systems) operating stably discover each other through a physical connection and the
necessary configuration, they are aggregated into a VCS system. This process is
known as VSC aggregation.
7. VSC splitting: After a VSC system is formed, if a link between the stack ports of two
devices is faulty, the physical connection between the two devices is broken. In this
case, the VSC system is split into two independent VSC systems. This process is
known as VSC splitting.
8. MAD detection: After the VSC is split, two VSC systems have the same layer-3
configuration (such as the IP address), causing address confliction and fault
escalation.
In VSC splitting, a mechanism is therefore required to enhance system availability, so

that multiple VSCs in the network can be detected and the corresponding operations
can be performed to reduce the impact on services.
MAD detection is a mechanism meeting the above requirements. It can detect address
confliction, resolves faults, and restores the network. However, it does not detect link
faults.
2.5.2 Configuring the VSC System

The basic VSC configurations (including the operation modes and the member numbers)
are stored on the Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM), and can be accessed
after the system is powered on. Other VSC configurations are stored under the /flash/
vscm/vscmCfg.dat directory on the flash device.
To configure the VSC system, run the following commands on the ZXR10 5900E:
Command Function
ZXR10(config-vsc)#vsc mode {cluster| This sets the operation mode of the device,
alone}[shelfid] required.
alone: the single-server mode, which means
that the device operating in this mode cannot
co-operate with other devices.
cluster: the cluster mode, which means that the
device operating in this mode can co-operate with
other devices (cluster members).
shelfid: the rack number of the VSC member,
optional. If this parameter is not set, the current
rack is configured by default.

Figure 2-1 VSC Configuration Example
Note:
After the VSC function is configured, the vsc write command must be executed to save the
configuration, so that the configuration is valid if the device is restarted.
The show vsc config command isused to display the current valid VSC configuration.
The show vsc next command is used to display the saved VSC configuration that is applied
after the device is restarted.
Configuration Flow
Start the three devices. Ensure that the stack interfaces are up. Configure the VSC
function on S1, S2, and S3.
1. Set the three devices to operate in VSC mode.
2. Set the three devices to be in the same VSC domain.
3. Set different member IDs for the three devices.
4. Set different priorities for the devices. The device with the highest priority operates as
the master device, the device with the second highest priority operates as the slave
device, and the left device operates as the standby device.
5. Configure stack ports. A maximum of two port groups are supported. Each port group
contains only one port.
6. Save the VSC configuration.
7. Restart the devices. After the devices are restarted, the VSC system is created.
Configuration Commands
The configuration on S1 is as follows:
S1(config)#vsc

Note:
For the initial configuration, the shelf ID of each device is 0. After the devices are restarted,
the configured shelf IDs (namely, member IDs) of the devices are valid.
Configuration Verification
After the three devices are restarted, only one of the devices (in general, S1) enters
command line mode. If all the devices enter command line mode or no device enters
command line mode, the VSC system is not created successfully. Run the show processor
or show interface brief command on S1. Information about S2 and S3 is displayed.

3.1 SNMP Configuration

3.1.1 SNMP Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most popular Network Management
System (NMS) protocol. SNMP module locates at the highest layer in the router system,
which belongs to the Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack application
layer. Administrators use SNMP to as a main way to operate, control and maintain devices.
To manage the network, users use NMS software to send and receive SNMP packets in
the SNMP modules (agent) between the managed network elements and the management
station.
The basic principle of SNMP network management is: allocate a unique ID (that is, the OID)
to the objects to be managed in switch respectively. The allocation of OID is determined in
a unified way by Request For Comments (RFC). When users need to read or modify the
value of an object, it sends the object OID and operation type (read or write) as a SNMP
request packet to switch. SNMP agent locating at switch finds the detailed object data
according to the OID, performs the corresponding operation and then sends the result as
SNMP response packet to users.
Network management station realizes the communication by exchanging SNMP packets.

To ensure the simplicity of SNMP protocol, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is used to
be the transmission protocol. Considering the extensibility of SNMP protocol, other
transmission protocols also can be used. However, UDP is still the recommended
protocol. Transmission protocol should use UDP as much as possible, if possible. Each
SNMP packet must be able to be transmitted in every UDP packet.

3.1.4 SNMP Configuration Example

SNMP is the most popular NM protocol. By using SNMP, people can use a NM server to
manage all network devices, see Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 SNMP Configuration Example Topology
Configuration Thought
1. Configure SNMP packet community. SNMPv1/v2c uses community authentication
mode. SNMP community is named by character string. Community has access
privileges, read-only or read-write.
2. Designate view name to the configured community string. Specify the default view
to the community if the view keyword uses the default setting. Specify ro privilege to
community if uses default setting in ro | rw keyword. It is only permitted that users
perform operation in the permitted view range no matter that ro or rw is specified. The
operation range is determined by view. Use DefaultView if view parameter is omitted.
Use ro privilege if ro/rw parameter is omitted.
3. Configure trap. Configure the type of trap to be sent and the sending destination host.
Trap is a kind of message without request sent by the managed device to NMS. It is
used to report some emergent and important events. By default, all kinds of trap are
permitted to send.
4. Configure SNMP v3 group and user if SNMP v3 is used.
The configuration of router is shown below,
ZXR10(config)#snmp-server packetSize 1400

3.2 NetFlow Configuration

3.2.1 NetFlow Overview
Introduction to NetFlow
NetFlow is a protocol used to monitor network traffic launched by Cisco. Netflow can trace
and measure each flow accurately. It brings the following applications,
l Network layout

Netflow can count the information of network flow for a long time. Therefore, it can
trace and estimate the trend of network flow increasing or decreasing. Thus, add
or remove route devices or upgrade or degrade the bandwidth of route devices if
required. In this way, the network operation is more proper.
l Analyze new application
Netflow collects the network usage information of a new application protocol. By
means of information analyzing, network resource can be allocated to the new
application reasonably.
l Network monitor
Netflow has real time network monitor ability. It can locate fault by providing
information when network has fault, or it can find potential network problem.
NetFlow Principle
To provide network data collection, NetFlow performs the following task,
1. Configure NetFlow service on many interfaces on a switch to collect packets which
pass through these interfaces. To reduce system load, set a sample rate on both of
ingress and egress on the interfaces. For example, if the sample rate is 2000:1, then
sample one packet from every 2000 packets. NetFlow can sample unicast, multicast,
and MPLS packets respectively or hybridly.
2. NetFlow analyzes the sampled packet to obtain the following information,
l Packet information: For example, source / destination IP address, TOS field, and
source/ destination TCP/UDP port number.
l Route information: For example, next hop IP address.
l Other information: Packet ingress / egress interface index, and sample direction.
NetFlow takes flow as statistic object. The packets which belong to the same flow
are summarized and stored. NetFlow v5 uses octet to define the unique flow, and
NetFlow v9 permits that user defines flow by itself. For example, user can use source
and destination IP addresses to define a flow, then all the packets which have the
source and destination addresses are defined as a flow. People call the octet (source
and destination IP addresses) as key field. User also can configure non-key field to
obtain other information of the flow, such as packet number, bytes and next hop IP
address.
3. Netflow has buffer. The sampled packets are stored at buffer at first. The size of
every flow is the sum of all key fields and non-key fields. After a packet is analyzed,
find whether the flow already exists according to its key filed. If it already exists, then
update the flow's non-key field. If it does not exist, add the new flow into buffer. When
the flow stored at buffer satisfies the following conditions, it will be sent to remote
server.
l Send all flow to server when buffer is full.
l A flow is inactive if there is no packet belongs to the flow in a given time. Send
the flow to server. The given time is called active aging time. It can be configured
by user.

l For a long term active flow, the statistic information is sent to server once in a
while. The interval is called inactive aging time. It can be configured by user.
4. At present, ZXR10 5900E supports to send NetFlow v5, NetFlow v8 and NetFlow v9
packets to server. Since the format of NetFlow v5 is fixed, Netflow v5 only output the
fixed field flow information. NetFlow v9 supports user to customize key field or non-key
field. The NetFlow v9 packet is based on module. The module includes user-defined
key field and non-key field, and every module has a unique module ID. NetFlow sends
module to server circularly. When a server receives the NetFlow v9 packet including
flow information, it will find the corresponding module according to the contained mod-
ule ID.
5. On NetFlow server, the received flow information is usually stored at database, and
NetFlow analysis software can analyze the entity data.
3.2.2 Configuring NetFlow

Configuring NetFlow Output
To configure NetFlow output, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#flow exporter <name> This creates a flow exporter

policy called name. There are
a maximum of 200 different
flow exporter policies.
2 ZXR10(config-flow-exporter)#destination [vrf This configures IP address of

<name>]<ip-address> NetFlow server.
3 ZXR10(config-flow-exporter)#export-protocol This sets the format of NetFlow

{netflow-v5 | netflow-v8|netflow-v9} output packets.
The format can be NetFlow v5,
v8 or v9. The default format is
v9.
When the format is set to
v5, the template must be
netflow-original.
When the format is v8, the
template must be netflow ipv4
protocol-port.
4 ZXR10(config-flow-exporter)#template data {refresh This resends module according

<packets>| timeout <seconds>} to packet number or time.
5 ZXR10(config-flow-exporter)#transport udp <port> This sets NetFlow output

protocol as UDP and the used
port number, the default value
is 2055

3.3 SFlow Configuration

3.3.1 SFlow Overview
Introduction to SFlow
The SFlow technology is applied to switches or routers to analyze the traffic flow in a
network.
The SFlow protocol describes how SFlow samples packets in the network. To put it simply,
if an interface on a switch is configured with the SFlow service, this interface becomes a
traffic monitoring point of SFlow.
When packets are passing this interface, SFlow starts sampling them and recording the
related information. SFlow sampling falls into two types: packet sampling and interface
counter information sampling.
After obtaining the sampling information, SFlow encapsulates it into a SFlow format packet,
and then send it to the SFlow server over UDP protocol. The SFlow server is responsible
for analyzing the received packets and thus give the statistical result of the network traffic.
SFlow Principles
To collect network data, SFlow does the following:
1. Configure the SFlow service on some switch interfaces to collect the

incoming/outgoing packets of these interfaces. After an interface is dedicated for
SFlow sampling, it samples packets based on the sampling direction, sampling

rate (only for packet sampling), and sampling interval (only for interface counter
information sampling).
Note:
Packet sampling refers to a process of sampling packets at the specified rate and
recording the header information of sampled packets (the MAC layer information,
switching information or routing information can also be recorded). The SFlow-capable
device only supports recording the header information of the packets.
Interface counter information sampling: is to sample counter information on the

interface at a given sampling interval. The general counter information on the
interface can be recorded.
2. SFlow can send the collected packet information directly to the SFlow server. It can
also store the information temporarily, and send it to the SFlow server at a scheduled
time or when the buffer is full.
3.3.2 Configuring SFlow

Configuring SFlow Output
To configure SFlow output on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#sflow receiver <name> Creates an SFlow receiver policy.

A maximum of ten different Sflow receiver
policies can be configured.
2 ZXR10(config-sflow-receiver)#destination Sets the IP address of the SFlow server.

[vrf < vrf-name >][ipv4-address< ip-addr >]
3 ZXR10(config-sflow-receiver)#transport Sets the protocol port number of the

[udp-port<port-num>] SFlow server.
4 ZXR10(config)#sflow agent<ip-address Sets the IP address of the SFlow agent.
vrf < vrf-name > Vrf is used if the SFlow server is in a VPN. The vrf-name
parameter is 1–32 bytes in length.
ipv4-address< ip-addr > IP address of the SFlow server.
udp-port <port-num> Specifies the protocol for SFlow output is UDP and the
corresponding port number (default: 6343).

3.4 SysLog Configuration

3.4.1 SYSLOG Overview
SYSLOG is a kind of log formats, which is used to record the character text to be printed.
SYSLOG is originated from UNIX operating system, and it is used to record system log.
The format of log consists of the following three parts:
l PRI: It is composed by angle brackets and numbers. The numbers represent module
ids and severity. The range of module id is 0-23. The range of severity is 1-8. 1 is the
heaviest, and 8 is the lightest.
l HEADER: It is composed by time and host name.
l MSG: It is the detailed content.
SYSLOG sends data packets to SYSLOG server by using UDP. The default port is 514
and the size of UDP packet is less than 1024 bytes.
System decides whether reports the alarm message to SYSLOG sever according to the
alarm level after SYSLOG function is enabled.
3.4.2 Configuring SYSLOG

To configure SYSLOG on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#syslog level <level> At global configuration mode,

set the level of the alarm which
will be reported to SYSLOG
server. The alarm level range
is 1-8. The default value is
NOTIFICATIONS.
The alarm whose level is no
less than level will be reported
to SYSLOG Server. By default,
alarms with all levels will be
reported.
2 ZXR10(config)#syslog-server facility <facility> This configures report source

of SYSLOG message. The
default value is local0.
3 ZXR10(config)#syslog-server source [ipv4 | This configures the source

ipv6]<source-ip> address of report SYSLOG
message. It supports IPv4 and
IPv6.

3.5 Port Mirroring Configuration

3.5.1 Port Mirroring Overview
Introduction to Port Mirroring
In many cases, it is required to monitor packets sent to or received from the network.
For example, enterprises need to implement real-time monitoring for packets sent and
received for information security purposes.
Port mirroring function applies to enterprise very well. It can monitor and manage the
enterprise network data. When network has fault, it can locate fault. However, it is difficult
that monitor all traffic on current network. Therefore, it is required that configure a switch
to forward the data of one or more ports to another port to provide network monitoring.

Port mirroring can copy a part of or all traffic of source port to a designated mirroring port
or destination port.
Port Mirroring Principle

Port mirror function copies the data received or sent by one or more mirror source ports
to a specified mirror destination port and send the data. The data can be obtained from
mirror destination port for analyzing and diagnosing.
Port mirror is divided into three mirror modes: TX, RX and BOTH.
l TX (egress)
It only mirrors the sending traffic of an interface.
l RX (ingress)
It only mirrors the receiving traffic of an interface.
l BOTH (bidirectional)
It mirrors the bidirectional traffic of an interface.
Port mirror modules are divided into two types, normal port mirror and traffic mirror.
Configuring a session with ACL, then it will be considered as traffic mirror. Traffic mirror
collects the data packets filtered by ACL.
Traffic mirror supports applying standard and extended ACL to interface and specifying
the port direction (egress or ingress).
Port mirror modules are divided into local mirror and remote mirror.
l Local mirroring
The source and destination port belong to a router.

l Remote mirroring
The source and destination port belong to different routers respectively. The mirror
traffic can be transmitted between the different routers after encapsulating.
As shown in Figure 3-5, mirror the traffic of port 1 to port 3 on switch 1. In this way, all the
traffic of port 1 can be monitored by port 3. This is called local mirroring. If the traffic of port
1 of switch 1 is mirrored to port 3 of switch 2, this process is called remote mirroring. For
remote mirroring, router 1 and switch 2 even can belong to the different public networks.

Figure 3-5 Port Mirroring Principle
Port mirroring also provides backup tunnel for network transmission. As shown in Figure
3-5, the data transmitted by port 1 is also transmitted by port 3 at the same time. In this
way, even if port 1 has failure, the data of port 3 is available.
3.5.2 Configuring Port Mirroring

To configure port mirroring, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#span session <session-number> This adds a port mirroring

session item.
ZXR10(config)#no span session <session-number> This deletes a port mirroring

session.
2 ZXR10(config-span-session)#default destination This adds a default destination

{interface <interface>[rspan-vlan <vlanid>][{tpid <tpid>| port to the session item.

3.6 Alarm Module

3.6.1 Alarm Module Overview
Alarm module provides alarm service. Alarm module will report and record alarm message
when hardware or program runs improperly. Meanwhile, alarm module supports back-end
query alarm messages.
The messages processed by alarm module include ordinary alarm and notification.
Ordinary alarm is recoverable, and notification is only to notify the happening of some
event.
The alarm which has been reported but not recovered already is called current alarm.
The alarm which has been reported and recovered already is called history alarm. The
notification is only to notify simply that some event happens, so there is no current and
history notifications.
Alarm module residents its alarm agent process in each line card and alarm server process
in main control board. Once hardware or program runs improperly, the service applications
will report the alarm to its alarm agent. Later, alarm agents report the alarm messages to
alarm server. Alarm server records alarm messages for back-end querying.

3.7 Performance Management Module

3.7.1 Performance Management Module Overview
Performance management module provides the following main functions,
l It accepts the login or logout request coming from service module and collects
performance data according to the registered performance entries.
l It calculates and saves performance data according to the collection interval.
l It provides CLI configuration and request interfaces.
l It provides SNMP request interface.
Performance management module uses the agent server structure, which is composed of
PMServer, PMAgent and PMClient.
PMServer resides in R-CPU. Every daughter-card has a PMAgent, and each PMAgent
acts as an independent process. PMClient resides in every application module. The
service modules of daughter-cards interacts with each other by messages sending
between PMClient and PMAgent. In this way, application module can log in, log off or
report performance value to performance management module.
There are some applications, which use PMServer to mount CallBack function. After
register information is modified, PMServer finishes virtual register / register cancellation,
and refreshes performance values after member interface data binding to these service
types are changed.
3.7.2 Configuring the Performance Management Module

To configure the performance management module on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the
following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#end Enters privileged configuration mode.

3.8 Time Range Module Configuration

3.8.1 Time Range Module Overview
Introduction to Time Range Module
Time range module is used to provide awakening and hypnotizing service for other
application modules. User can configure multiple time ranges. Every time range has its
own name. A time range can define multiple relative time segments and an absolute time
segment.

Time range takes effect at the following three situations,

l Absolute time segment is configured only, and the current system time is within the
configured absolute time segment.
l Relative time segment is configured only. No matter how many relative time segments
are configured, time range is effective if the current system time meets any relative
time segment.
l Both absolute and relative time segments are configured. Time range is effective only
when the current system time meets both absolute time segment and any relative time
segment.
Application module can subscribe to some time range. When the state of subscribed time
range changes, time range module will notify the application module that the current state
of the time range is active or inactive and performs the corresponding operations.
Time Range Module Principle

Time range sub-system uses Client/Server (C/S) structure. The main functions of time
range server are Time Range configuration management, time management, state
broadcast, and data synchronization. Client is responsible for managing the register of
application modules, receiving time range state broadcast packets coming from server
and notifying the changing of time range state to applications. In order to provide time
range searching, the client also needs to maintain a table for saving all configured time
range and the states.
In time range time management, system time is taken as the reference time for setting a
timer. Time management function inspects the states of all time ranges regularly (usually,
every 5 seconds).
The states of time ranges are scanned in every 5 seconds. The state of time range changes
frequently when time range is configured, which is unfavorable to stability. Therefore, the
structure of operation and working area is used. User can modify the data in operation
area when configuring time range. After finishing the configuration, user can exit the
configuration mode and synchronize the data from operation area to working area. In
time segment calculation, only the configuration of working area is read.
Application module quotes time range name directly and obtains the current state from
client. The server notifies all time range tables and states to client at first. Later, it inspects
time range state and notifies to client regularly. The client notifies the application modules
in turn after receiving the notification. Application modules perform the corresponding
operations according to their actual requirements.
3.8.2 Configuring the Time Range Module

To configure the time range module on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:

It can be seen that the current statuses of all time ranges and all associated time segment
rules are displayed.
3.8.4 Time Range Configuration Example

Time-range active time segment can be configured. The active state of time-range
itself cannot restrict user operation any. Therefore, time-range has to be bound with
the corresponding ACL. In this way, the ACL can enter active state in a specified time
segment.
For example, a company forbids that employees browse Internet webs during working time,
but the employees are permitted to browse Internet webs in free time. For such condition,
time range is required, that is, all Internet requests coming from company employees are
denied during working time and the request are accepted in free time.
As shown in Figure 3-8, PC1 sends Telnet requests to S1 through S2. S1 wants to receive
login requests coming from PC1 in a specified time segment only while denies the login
requests at other times. Therefore, create a corresponding time-range, bind the time-range
to an ACL, and bind ACL to the ingress of gei-0/1/1/3. In this way, S1 can filter Telnet
packets coming from PC1 in a specified time segment (ACL also can be bound in egress
of gei-0/1/1/2).

Figure 3-8 Time Range Configuration Example Topology
Create a time-range and bind it with ACL. Add rules to the ACL: The Telnet packets which
match IP addresses of PC1, the protocol types are TCP and port types are Telnet will be
denied in the time segment specified by time-range. Bind the ACL in ingress of gei-0/1/1/3
or egress of gei-0/1/1/2.
After the configuration above is finished, the bound ACL only takes effect in the time
segment specified by time-range. In this time segment, PC1 cannot logs in S1. However,
PC1 still can logs in S1 at other times.
1. Create a time-range. User can name the time-range by himself. Ensure that the name
length cannot be more than 31 characters.
2. Enter time-range configuration mode after time-range is created. Under time-range
configuration mode, add time segment.
3. According to the actual requirements, bind time-range to the corresponding ACL. The
ACL can take effect in the specified time segment.
The configuration of S1 is shown below.
1. Create a time-range.
S2(config)#time-range enable
/*This enables time-range function.
time-range cannot be created if time-range
function is disbaled.*/
S2(config)#time-range test
S2(config-tr)#
/*This creates a time-range and names it test.*/
2. Add time segment to the time-range
/*Absolute time segment can either take effect in or
before a specified time, or can take effect during
a specified time segment.*/
S1(config-tr)#absolute start 10:10:15 12-12-2012 end 10:10:15 12-12-2012
/* Starting at 10:10:15 on 12-12-2012 and ending at
10:10:15 on 12-12-2012.*/
3. Create ACL and bind it to the time-range.
S2(config)#ipv4-access-list test
S2(config-ipv4-acl)#rule 1 deny tcp 10.20.30.20 0.0.0.0
eq telnet 30.20.10.1 0.0.0.0 time-range test

4.1 CHM Overview

The CHM system is responsible for environment monitoring. For ZXR10 5900 series racks,
the CHM can only configure temperature alarm thresholds. For ZXR10 5900E series
racks, the CHM can provide these functions: rack environment temperature monitoring,
temperature alarm threshold setting, fan state monitoring, fan rotation speed setting, and
rack power state monitoring. The following takes ZXR10 5900E series as an example to
describe the operation principles, work flow, and configuration of the CHM system.
The CHM environment monitoring system is composed of the CHM data processing center,
IPMS environment monitoring system, and intelligent clients (including the intelligent power
client and intelligent fan client).
l CHM Data Processing Center
The CHM data processing center is responsible for receiving and handling the data
requests from users. For a show type command, the CHM data processing center
returns the environment data to the user interface. For a set command, the CHM data
processing center sends the command to the IPMC sub card for further processing
according to established protocols.
l IPMS Environment Monitoring System
The IPMC environment monitoring sub card is responsible for collecting environment
information and reporting it to the CHM data center, controlling fan operation according
to established speed adjustment policies, and sending the commands from the CHM
data center to the specific intelligent client to execute.
l Intelligent Client
Besides the basic functions (such as controlling fan rotation and power supply), an
intelligent client is also responsible for communicating with the IPMC and processing
related data inquiry requests.

5.1 MAC Overview

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the hardware identity of a network device. A
switch forwards packets according to MAC addresses. To ensure correct forwarding of
packets, the MAC address must be unique.
Every switch maintains an MAC address table. When the switch receives a data frame,
it determines whether to filter it or forward the data frame to the related port of the switch
according to the MAC address table. Therefore, the MAC address table is the basis and
prerequisite for the switch to provide fast forwarding.
An MAC address table is the key to the correct forwarding of data packets. It shows the
mapping between the MAC addresses of hosts and the ports of an Ethernet switch, and
specifies the direction to the destination host. When the Ethernet switch receives a data
frame, it checks whether the destination MAC address of the data frame plus a VLAN index
matches the MAC address table to obtain an egress for the frame. If no match is found in
the MAC address table, the switch broadcasts the data frame to all the ports in the VLAN
except the receiving port.
The MAC address management module is responsible for managing MAC address tables.
It supports VPLS and source MAC learning in chips and network processors. All software
and hardware forwarding tables are generated based on MAC address tables, so the MAC
address management module is the core in the switch system, and the stability of this
module ensures the stability of other modules.
5.2 Configuring a MAC Address

To configure a MAC address on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#mac Enters MAC configuration mode.

6.1 MAC Address Table Overview

Introduction
A MAC address is the hardware identity of a network device. A switch forwards packets
by MAC address. The uniqueness of the MAC address ensures the correct forwarding of
packets.
Each switch maintains a MAC address table. When the switch receives a data frame, it
determines whether to filter it or forward it to the related port of the switch based on the
MAC address table.
An entry in a MAC address table is uniquely identified by a MAC address plus a VLAN
ID. Entries that have the same MAC address and the same VLAN ID are considered the
same. An entry in the MAC address table is composed of:
1. MAC address: For example, 00D0.8756.95CA.
2. VLAN ID: ID of the VLAN that the MAC address belongs to.
3. Port number: For example, gei–0/1/1/3.
4. Other flags: These flags indicate the status and operations of the MAC address. There
are seven types of flags:
l static: indicates that the MAC address is static.
l Dynamic: indicates that the MAC address is dynamic to learn.
l To-Permanent: indicates that the MAC address solidify permanent.
l permanent: indicates that the MAC address is permanent.
l Filter(Both): indicates that data frames are filtered based on the source or
destination MAC address.
l to-static: indicates that the MAC address is stabilized.
l Filter(Src): indicates that data frames are filtered based on the source MAC
address.
l Filter(Dst): indicates that data frames are filtered based on the destination MAC
address.

l from: MAC address of the device from where the packet is sent.
l time: the time period that the dynamic MAC address keeps alive.
When a switch performs layer-2 forwarding, it queries the MAC address table based on
the destination MAC address and VLAN contained in a data frame, to determine to which
port the data frame is to be forwarded.
When a switch performs layer–3 forwarding, it queries the MAC address table after
obtaining the MAC address corresponding to the IP address of the next hop, and similarly
determines to which port a data frame is to be forwarded.
MAC Address Classifications

The MAC addresses in a MAC address table can be classified into three types:
l Dynamic MAC address
A dynamic MAC address is learned by a switch through data frames in the network,
and it is deleted when its aging time arrives. When the ports of the switch connecting
the network device change, the mappings between the MAC addresses and ports in
the MAC address table also change. After the switch is powered off and restarted, the
learned dynamic MAC addresses disappear, and then the switch starts to learn new
dynamic MAC addresses.
l Static MAC address
A static MAC address does not age out, but it disappears when the ZXR10 5900E
reboots. At present, static MAC addresses are not supported.
l Permanent MAC address
A permanent MAC address is generated through the configuration and does not age
out. No matter how the ports of the switch connecting the network device change, the
mappings between the MAC addresses and ports in the MAC address table do not
change. For a port configured with a static or permanent MAC address, if you want
to change the VLAN of the corresponding port so that the port no longer belongs to
this VLAN, the system gives the message that the MAC address should be deleted
before changing the VLAN. After the switch is powered off and restarted, permanent
MAC addresses do not disappear, as long as the configuration is saved on the switch
previously.
l MAC address filtration
MAC address filtration is generated through the configuration and does not age out.
After the configurations on the ZXR10 5900E are stored, MAC addresses filtration
are not lost after the ZXR10 5900E reboots. MAC address filtration is divided into the
following types:
à Source filtration: The source MAC addresses of packets are not learned
à Destination filtration: Packets are not forwarded by destination MAC address.
à Source and destination filtration: The source MAC addresses of packets are not
learned and forwarded.

Creating and Deleting a MAC Address Table

In the initial status, a switch does not have a MAC address table. To provide fast
forwarding, you must create a MAC address table for the switch. The capacity of the MAC
address table is limited, and the network devices change frequently, so you must delete
old entries from the MAC address table and update the changed ones.
l Dynamic Learning
The dynamic MAC addresses in the MAC address table are learned dynamically by a
switch. The learning process is as follows:
When a port of the switch receives a data frame, the switch analyzes the source MAC
address and VLAN ID (assume that they are MAC1 + VID1) in the frame. If the MAC
address is legal and can be learned, the switch uses MAC1 + VID1 as the key to query
the MAC address table. If MAC1 + VID1 cannot be found in the MAC address table,
the switch adds it to the table. If MAC1 + VID1 can be found in the table, the switch
updates the corresponding entry in the table.
Note:
à MAC address learning is to learn the source MAC address in the data frame,
instead of the destination MAC address.
à For MAC address learning, only unicast addresses can be learned. Broadcast or
multicast addresses cannot be learned.
l MAC Address Aging

The capacity of the MAC address table is limited. To effectively use the resources in
the MAC address table, the switch provides MAC address aging.
If the switch does not receive any data frame from a device during the specified period
(the aging time), the switch assumes that the device has already left the network. In
this case, the switch deletes the corresponding MAC address from the MAC address
table. In this way, the MAC address table can be updated in time. MAC address aging
is applied only to dynamic MAC addresses.
l Adding or Deleting a MAC Address Manually

If the network is comparatively stable and the switch port connecting a device is fixed,
you can use the configuration commands to add the MAC address directly in the
MAC address table of the switch. The MAC address can be configured as a static
or permanent one. Adding static or permanent MAC addresses can prevent network
attacks that use fraudulent MAC addresses.
The added MAC addresses can be deleted by using the command of deleting a MAC
address. This command can also be used to delete a dynamic MAC address forcedly
and make the switch learn the address again.

6.2 Configuring a MAC Address Table

Setting the Aging Time of MAC Addresses
The setting of the aging time of MAC addresses may affect the performance of a switch.
If the aging time is too short, the switch may delete many valid entries from the MAC
address table, and thus the switch may broadcast numerous packets whose destination
MAC addresses cannot be found. As a result, a great amount of bandwidth for the switch
may be occupied. On the contrary, if the aging time is too long, the switch may save too
many outdated entries in the MAC address table. Consequently, new MAC addresses
cannot be added to the MAC address table.
Command Function
ZXR10(config-mac)#aging-time <time> Specifies the aging time (in seconds)

of MAC addresses, default: 300.
Stabilizing MAC Addresses

Stabilizing MAC addresses is to convert all the dynamic MAC addresses in the MAC
address table into static MAC addresses or permanent MAC addresses. However,
static MAC addresses are not saved permanently, and they disappear after the switch is
powered off and restarted. But, permanent MAC addresses are saved permanently, and
they exist after the switch is powered off and restarted.
Command Function
ZXR10(config-mac)#to-static [{ interface < port-name >| mac}]{ Stabilizes dynamic MAC

enable| disable} addresses.
ZXR10(config-mac)#to-permanent interface <interface-name>{e Sets MAC addresses to

nable|disable} permanent.
Binding a Port to a MAC Address

Binding a port to a MAC address can be achieved by adding a static or permanent MAC
address on the switch. After the MAC address is bound to the port, the mappings between
the MAC address of the port are fixed, and the MAC address are not learned any more.
1 ZXR10(config-mac)#add permanet <mac-address> Adds a MAC address.

interface < port-name>{ all-owner-vlan | vlan< vlan-id>]
2 ZXR10(config-mac)#delete {[interface < port-name>] Deletes a MAC address.

,[vlan < vlan-id>],[< mac-address>]}
Configuring MAC Address Learning for a Port

By default, the MAC address learning function is enabled for a switch port, so that the port
can dynamically learn MAC addresses. If a device always connects to this port, you can
configure MAC address binding, manually configure all the possible MAC addresses for

the port, and then disable the MAC address learning function. In this way, the port does
not learn MAC addresses dynamically any more.
Command Function
ZXR10(config-mac)#learning { enable| disable| disable-action Configures MAC address learning.

{drop | forward}}[ interface <port-name>][vlan <1-4094>]
Configuring the Maximum Number of MAC Addresses for a Port or Switch

The capacity of the MAC address table of a switch is limited. If the number of MAC
addresses is reaching the upper limit, you can limit the number of MAC addresses that
can be learned by the port used by a lower-priority user. This can prevent network attacks
(such as MAC address overflow) caused by MAC address flooding.
Command Function
ZXR10(config-mac)#limit-maximum <max-number>[interface Configures the maximum number

<port-name>| vlan <vlan-id>] of MAC addresses for a port or
switch.
Note:
To cancel the maximum number of MAC addresses for a port or switch, run the no form
of this command.
Configuring MAC Address Filtering

Filtering a data frame by MAC address can be of one of the following:
l Matching the source MAC address of the data frame only
l Matching the destination MAC address of the data frame only
l Matching both the source and destination MAC addresses of the data frame
Command Function
ZXR10(config-mac)#filter { source| both| destination}<mac-addre Configures MAC address filtration.

ss> vlan< vlan-id>
During the MAC address filtration configuration, port name does not need to be specified.
The switch filters data frames from all ports.

7.1 RMON Overview

Introduction
RMON is developed to meet the requirements of monitoring the traffic on subnetworks.
RMON can be used to monitor the traffic on subnetworks of Ethernet and token ring
networks, which is an important enhancement to SNMP. In RFC1757, RMON is defined
by an MIB. In this way, the information about the traffic on the specified subnetwork can
be obtained through the RMON-MIB.
Network flow monitoring is very important in network management. Network operational
status can be obtained by viewing the traffic in the network. If a network has multiple
subnetworks, it is necessary to know the operational status, flow changes, performance
and related information of each subnetwork. Monitoring the network can be more effective
through traffic analysis and statistics.
RMON implements the four basic functions (a statistics group, a history group, an alarm
group, and an event group) defined in RFC1757. A proper configuration can assist
network administrators in knowing and analyzing network operation information, and
obtaining network alarms quickly.
Principles
A detection system (called monitor) should be placed inside each subnetwork for
monitoring purposes. The monitor checks each packet over the network, and collects
statistics (for example, the total number of packets sent and total number of error packets)
and implements analysis on these packets.
RMON defines several physical groups based on the data and functions required by
subnetwork monitoring. In this example, RMON implements four physical groups:
1. Statistics group: collects statistics on error information for each subnetwork.
2. History group: stores the information periodically sampled from the statistics group.
3. Alarm group: allows administrators to set the sampling interval and enables the RMON
system to record the alarms triggered by counters.
4. Event group: records all events generated by the RMON system.

.d o .c .d o .c
At the same time, RMON defines 10 groups that are logically consistent. These groups rely
on each other in implementation, and may contain tables from different physical groups.
In this example, the following logical groups are concerned:
1. Ethernet statistics group: stores Ethernet statistics from each monitored Ethernet
interface. This group contains the etherStatsTable.
2. History control group: periodically samples historical data from different networks. This
group contains the historyControlTable.
3. Ethernet history group: stores the periodically-sampled data from Ethernet for future
use. This group contains the etherHistorytable.
4. Alarm group: collects the statistics on the specified variable periodically, and compares
it with the pre-defined threshold. If the monitored variable exceeds the threshold, an
alarm is raised. The delay mechanism is used to restrict the number of alarms. This
group contains the alarmTable and should cooperate with the event group.
5. Event group: controls the generation of monitored events and determines whether to
inform the system. This group contains an eventTable and a logTable.
7.2 Configuring RMON

To configure RMON, perform the following steps:

8.1 PoE Overview

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an extension of network devices that support Ethernet
electrical interfaces. Network devices (including switches and routers) supporting PoE
can provide power supply for remote devices (including IP phones, WLAN APs, and
network cameras) through twisted-pair cables.
PoE is also called power over network. It is a technology used to provide power supply
for devices through electric power transmitted over standard CAT-5 10 BASE-T and 100
BASE-TX Ethernet cables. Based on the existing Ethernet CAT-5 cabling architecture,
without any modification, when data signals are transmitted to IP-based terminals (such
as IP phones, WLAN APs, and network cameras), DC power supply can be provided for
these devices through PoE. PoE ensures security of the existing cabling architecture, and
ensures that the existing network can operate properly. This reduces costs to the maximum
extent. Figure 8-1 shows a PoW application scenario.

The ZXR10 5950–36PM-H and ZXR10 5950–56PM-H switches support the PoE function.
l The ZXR10 5950-36PM-H provides 24 1000 Base-T electrical interfaces, four combo
interfaces, and two expansion slots. It supports PoE and PoE+. For PoE+, full-load
power supply complying with the 802.3at standard must be provided for two thirds
of the ports. The first four interfaces support PoE+ with a maximum of 60 W. The
ZXR10 5950-36PM-H supports modular dual-power and power-down protection, and
provides AC power supply and DC power supply.
l The ZXR10 5950-56PM-H provides 48 1000 Base-T electrical interfaces, and two
expansion slots. It supports PoE and PoE+. For PoE+, full-load power supply
complying with the 802.3at standard must be provided for 26 ports. The first four
interfaces support PoE+ with a maximum of 60 W. The ZXR10 5950-56PM-H
supports modular dual-power and power-down protection.
The ZXR10 5900E provides the following PoE functions:
1. Enables or disables the PoE function on ports.
2. Provides power supply with different powers on ports.
3. Supports port priorities. Power supply is preferentially provided for a port with a higher
priority.

Enabling or Disabling the PoE Function
Command Function
ZXR10(config-poe)#interface <interface-name> Enables or disables the forcible power supply

function on the specified interface. By default,
ZXR10(config-poe-if-interface-name)#force-
this function is disabled. The forcible power
power {enable | disable}
supply setting conflicts with the normal power
supply setting. Thus, you must disable the normal
power supply setting before enabling the forcible
power supply setting.
Enabling or Disabling the PoE+ Function
Command Function
ZXR10(config-poe)#interface <interface-name> Enables or disables the PoE+ function for the

specified interface. By default, the function is
ZXR10(config-poe-if-interface-name)#enhan
disabled.
ced-mode {enable | disable}
Configuring a Power Supply Priority for a PoE Port
Command Function
ZXR10(config-poe-if-interface-name)#prior Sets a power supply priority for the specified PoE

ity {low | high | critical} port. The priorities in ascending order are low,
high, and critical. The default priority is critical.
By default, the priority of each PoE port is critical (the highest priority), and the power
supply order depends on port number. The power supply is preferentially provided for a
port with a smaller port number. If the priorities of ports are different, the power supply is
provided based on priorities.
Configuring the Maximum Port Power
Command Function
ZXR10(config-poe-if-interface-name)#pd-m Configures the maximum power on a PoE port.

is set to 57 W.

is set to 60 W.
auto Indicates that the maximum power on a PoE port

is set to auto. The default maximum power on a
PoE port is auto.
There is a difference between the PSE power and the PD power. For example, if the PSE
power is set to 30 W, the actual PD power is about 25 W. The cause is that the PoE supply
voltage is low and the current is high, and then the power loss is great.
If the power supply is provided for the device operating in full-power state, much heat is
generated within a short period in the PD due to a large number of ports. Therefore, ensure
that fans of the PD are operating properly.
For the ZXR10 5950-36PM-H and ZXR10 5950-56PM-H, only the first four ports support
the power supply with a maximum of 60 W. Other ports support the power supply with a
maximum of 30 W.

1.1 Static Route Overview

Static route is the routing information that is designated by network administrator to the
routing table by means of commands. Unlike a dynamic route, it does not set up routing
table according to routing algorithm. In dynamic route configuration, routing information
of the entire Internet must be sent to a router. The router is hard to hold the load. In this
time, static routes can be used to solve the problem. Sometimes, use static route with
less configuration to avoid using dynamic route. However, in a routing environment where
there are multiple routers and paths, it is very complicated to configure static routes.
To generate a static unicast routing table, network administrator has to be familiar with the
network topology and configure it according to the actual routing requirements. In this way,
the routing action can be controlled accurately in network. The static routing table needs
to be reconfigured in time if the network topology is changed.
Static route is different from other dynamic routing protocol. Static route configuration
does not require that configure the related protocol data on interfaces. It only needs to
check the validity of static route parameters configured by users, but whether static route
configuration takes effect is still decided by the state changing of the corresponding egress
interface.
The following content is a routing table of ZXR10 5900E. Here, the administrator distance
of static route is 1.

1.2 Configuring a Static Route

Next hop addresses must be specified for all routing items. When a packet is sent, the
system queries the matched route in the routing table according to the destination address.
If the next hop address is not specified, the link layer cannot find the corresponding address
on the link layer, and the packet cannot be forwarded.
Configuring Direct Static Route

To configure direct static route on ZXR10 5900E, use the following command.
Command Function
ZXR10(config)#ip route [vrf <vrf-name>]<prefix><net-mask This configures direct static route.

>{<next hop address>|<interface-name><next hop address>}[<
distance-metric>]
Descriptions of the parameters used by command are shown below.
<vrf-name> It is used to configure static route of the designated Virtual

Route Forwarding Table (VRF).
The length of VRF name ranges from 1 to 32 characters.
Management port (mng) is a special VRF.
<prefix> Network Internet Protocol (IP) prefix, in dotted decimal

notation
<net-mask> Network Mask, in dotted decimal notation
<next hop address> IP address of the next hop, in dotted decimal notation
<interface-name> Name of the used interface
<distance-metric> Management distance, ranging from 1 to 255
Configuring Indirect Static Route

To configure indirect static on ZXR10 5900E, use the following command.
Command Function
ZXR10(config)#ip route [vrf <vrf-name>]<prefix><net-mask>{<n This configures indirect static

ext hop address>[global]}[<distance-metric>][metric <metric>] route.
Judge whether the route is an
indirect static route according to IP
address of the next hop.

static routes.
The generation conditions for
the primary and standby routes
of static routes are: the same
destination address route with
different outgoing interfaces,
different administrative distances
or metric values.

1.4 Static Route Configuration Examples

1.4.1 Basic Static Route Configuration Example
As shown in Figure 1-2, if S1 wants to send packets to the remote network 140.1.1.0/24,
it needs to send the packets to S2 (10.6.1.18) first. S1 and S2 are directly connected.
You need to add a static route whose destination network segment is 140.1.1.0 and the
next hop is 10.6.1.18 on S1. In addition, you need to add a static route whose destination
network segment is 140.1.1.0/24 and the next hop is 10.9.1.39 on S2.
Figure 1-2 Static Route Configuration Example
There are three methods to configure static routes on S1.
l This configures IP address of the next hop.
S1(config)#ip route 140.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.6.1.18
l This configures the local egress interface and the direct next hop.
S1(config)#ip route 140.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 vlan1 10.6.1.18
Configuration on S2:
S2(config)#ip route 140.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.9.1.39

Configuration Check
Use show command to validate configuration.
Validate configuration on S1:
S1(config)#show ip protocol routing network 140.1.1.0
Protocol routes:

*> 140.1.1.0/24 10.6.1.18 1 0 static

Protocol routes:

*> 140.1.1.0/24 10.9.1.39 1 0 static
If there are multiple paths to the same destination, a router can be configured with multiple
static routes with different administrative distances. However, routing table only displays
information about route with minimum distance because when router is informed of multiple
competition sources to a network, route with minimum administrative distance takes the
precedence.
Parameter <distance-metric> in static route configuration command about IP route can be
used to change administrative distance value of a static route. Supposing there are two
different routes from S1 to network section 140.1.1.0/24, the configuration is as follows:
S1(config)#ip route 140.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.6.1.18
S1(config)#ip route 140.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.6.1.1 20
Above commands are used to configure two different static routes arriving to the same
network segment. The first command does not configure administrative distance, so
default value “1” is used. The second command configures administrative distance of 20.
Since administrative distance of the first route is less than that of the second route, only
information about first route appears in routing table. That is, the switch sends packets to
destination network segment 140.1.1.0/24 through next-hop address 10.6.1.18 only. The
second route appears in routing table only when the first route fails and disappears from
the routing table. The two static routes can not have the same tag value, which go to the
same destination network but their next-hop is different.
Use show command to view on S1:

1.4.2 Static Route Summary Configuration Example

A summary static route is a special kind of static routes, which can summarize two or
more special route expressions into one expression. In this way, entries of routing table is
reduced but all of original links is reserved.
As shown in Figure 1-3, S2 connects to two network segments 10.9.1.0/24 and 10.3.1.0/24.
If S1 wants to access these two network segments, it needs to have two static routes.
When there are lots of routes in routing table, people can use summary static route to
optimize S1's routing table.
Figure 1-3 Static Route Summary Configuration Example
Configure a static route whose destination address is 10.0.0.0 on S1. All the packets
transmitted to destination network segment 10.0.0.0/8 pass through 10.6.1.18. That is
to say, all the packets which destination address is 10.0.0.0/8 (sub networks 10.3.1.0/24
and 10.9.1.0/24) are sent to 10.6.1.18. In this way, multiple static routes with the same
destination can be summarized to a static route, which can optimize routing table.
S1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0.0 10.6.1.18
Configuration Check
Use show command to view on S1:
S1(config)#show ip protocol routing

1.4.3 Default Route Configuration Example

Default route is also a kind of special static routes. When all routes are failed in routing
table, default route is adopted to make packet has a final destination. In this way, the
processing burden of router can be reduced a lot.
When a router cannot route a packet, the packet has to be dropped. However, this is not
hoped that packet is dropped in an "unknown" destination. To support complete connection
of router, this must have a route connected to a network. If router wants to keep complete
connection and meanwhile does not need to record each independent route, default route
can be used. By use of default route, an independent route can be designated to indicate
all other routes.
As shown in Figure 1-4, since there is no route pointing to Internet on S1, S1 needs to use
default route that send packets to S2 for processing.
Figure 1-4 Default Route Configuration Example
Default route configuration is completely the same as static route configuration and only
difference is that the network part and subnet mask part are all 0.0.0.0.
S1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.6.1.18

Default route is not always a static route. It also can be routes of other protocols, such
as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and so on. When
default route is used in routing protocol configuration, default route varies with routing
protocols.
If default route is configured on a router where RIP runs, the RIP will advertise the default
route to its neighbor, and even route redistribution is not needed in RIP domain.
For BGP protocol, a router where the BGP runs will not inject the default route into its
neighbor automatically. For BGP to send the default route to BGP domain, the command
default-information-originate has to be used first, and then redistribute default route.

2.1 RIP Overview

Introduction to RIP
RIP is relatively old but still commonly used interior gateway protocol created for use in
small and homogeneous networks. This is a classical distance-vector routing protocol.
RIPv1 is documented in Request For Comments (RFC) 1058. RIPv2 is documented in
RFC1723. ZXR10 5900E supports RIPv1 and RIPv2 completely. RIPv2 is used by default.
Compared to RIPv1, RIPv2 has the following advantages.
l Route updating with sub network mask
l Authentication for route updating
l Updating multicast routing
The following topics mainly introduce RIPv2. RIP refers RIPv2 unless special explain.
l RIP Route Metric and Administrative Distance
RIP uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet (port number 520) to exchange RIP
routing information. The routing information containing in RIP packet includes the
number of routers that a route passes through, that is, hop count, according to which,
router determines the route to the destination network.
RFC stipulates that the maximum hop count must be less than 16, so RIP is only
applicable to small-sized network. Hop count of 16 indicates infinite distance,
representing unreachable route, which is one way for RIP to identify and prevent the
routing loop.
Only hop count is taken as the metric for RIP routing; bandwidth, delay and other
variable factors are not considered. RIP always takes paths with the least hop count
as the optimized path, which results that the selected path is not the best one.
Default Administrative Distance (AD) value of RIP is 120. As for AD, the lower the
value, the higher the reliability of routing source. Compared to other routing protocols,
RIP is not quite reliable.

RIP provides the following four types of timers:

à Update timer
Switch running RIP transmits route update message at a certain interval (30s by
default), which reflects all the routing information of the switch. This process is
called routing information advertisement.
à Invalid timer
Invalid timer: When a switch fails to receive update information from another
switch in a certain time period (180s by default), it marks the routes provided by
the switch to be "unavailable".
à Holddown timer
After learning that routes are unavailable, the switch will enter hold-down state.
If switch receives route update packet within the default 180 seconds or if switch
fails to receive route update packet after 180 seconds, the holddown timer will
stop timing.
à Flush Timer
When it is not updated in the succeeding period of time (240 s by default), the
switch clears the route completely from the routing table.
l RIP Route Update
RIP protocol employs trigger update to speed up the spread of routing changes in the
RIP routing domain. When a RIP router detects that an interface is working or has
stopped working, a neighbor node is down or a new subnet or neighbor node joins
in, it will transmit a trigger update. The trigger update packet only contains changed
route.
RIP protocol uses poison reverse to speed up protocol convergence. The poison
reverse sets the metric of the unreachable network prefixes to be 16 (meaning
unreachable). After receiving route update packet of the metric, the switch will
discard the route instead of waiting for the aging time.
RIP uses split horizon to prevent loop and reduce the size of route update packet. Split
horizon means that if an interface receives a route update packet, it will not transmit
this update packet from itself to others.
RIP Working Principle

RIP defines two kinds of message types, request and response messages. Request
message is used to send a update to neighbor switch, and response message is used
to transmit route update.
1. At the start, RIP broadcasts or multicast packets which contain request message from
every RIP interface.
2. Later, RIP enters a loop state, it always monitors the RIP request or response
messages from other switches, and the neighbor switches which accept the request
will reply response messages containing their routing tables.

3. When the switch which sends request receives the response message, it will process
the route update message information containing in response message.
l For an new route entry, the router adds the new route and IP address of the ad-
vertised router to its routing table.
l For an existent RIP route, the router replaces the original route entry only when
the new route has less hop count.
2.2 Configuring RIP

RIP configuration includes the following contents, basic configuration, enhanced
configuration and version configuration.
Configuring RIP Basic Functions

To configure RIP basic function on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1. Enabling RIP
1 ZXR10(config)#router rip This enables RIP routing

process and enters RIP
configuration mode.
2 ZXR10(config-rip)#network < ip-address>< This designates a network

wildcard-mask> segment for RIP routing.
In case that the IP address
of the interface belongs
to the designated network
segment, RIP is enabled on
this interface.
2. Adjusting RIP timer
1 ZXR10(config)#router rip This enables RIP process

and enters RIP configuration
mode.
2 ZXR10(config-rip)#timers basic <update><invalid><hol This adjusts RIP network

ddown>< flush> timer.
3 ZXR10(config-rip)#output-delay < packets>< delay> This sets the delay time for
sending RIP update packets.
Descriptions of the parameters used by step 2 are shown below.

<update> The interval for sending update, the unit is second, the
range is 1-65535, and the default value is 30 seconds.
<invalid> Period before route invalidity in seconds, 1-65535. This

value shall be at least 3 times of update, 180 seconds by
default.
When there is no route refreshing, the route is ineffective.
Here, the route is blocked, marked as inaccessible, and
advertised as unreachable, but the route can still be used
to forward message packets.
<holddown> Period for suppressing optimized route in seconds,

0-65535. This value shall be at least 3 times of update,
180 seconds by default.
When the router receives the update message and
obtains a unreachable route, it will enter the blocked
state, be marked as inaccessible, and be advertised as
unreachable, but the route can still be used to forward
packets. After passing the blocked period, it receives the
routes advertised by other routers, and the route will be
accessible again.
<flush> Period from route invalidity to route clearing in seconds,

1-65535, 240 seconds by default.
The designated time must be greater than the holddown
value. Otherwise, it cannot pass the proper block time. In
this way, the new routes will be received before the block
expires.
<packets> The number of packets, ranging from 1 to 4294967295,

and the default value is 5.
<delay> The time interval for sending the packets in a designated

number.
The unit is second, the range is 0-100, and the default
value is 100ms.
This configures optional RIP parameters related to time.
ZXR10(config)#router rip
ZXR10(config-rip)#timers basic 5 15 15 30
ZXR10(config-rip)#output-delay 500 10

l The Period before route becomes invalid is 5 seconds.
l Router has 15 seconds for waiting after enters blocked state.
l There are 30 seconds for waiting from the route entry becoming invalid to clearing the
route entry.
l There are 10ms interval for sending each 500 packets.
Configuring RIP Enhanced Functions

To configure RIP enhanced function on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1. Configuring RIP neighbor
1 ZXR10(config)#router rip This enters RIP configuration

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-rip)#neighbor <ip-address> This command applies to

non-broadcast link.
This defines neighbor router to
exchange routing information
with the router.
There are 255 neighbors can
be found and configured.
By using this command, RIP routing information can be exchanged by point-to-point

method (non-broadcast). Once the neighbor is designated, the interfaces which
belong to the same network with the router will not use broadcasting (or multicast) to
exchange RIP routing information.
2. Configuring RIP authentication
RIPv2 supports plain text and MD5 authentication modes. Password is configured
on interfaces. Network neighbors have to use the same authentication mode and
password. RIPv1 does not support authentication.
To configure RIP packet plain text authentication mode, perform the following steps.

mode.

configuration mode.
3 ZXR10(config-if)#ip rip authentication mode text This specifies the interface to

authenticate RIP packets by
plain text mode.

3 ZXR10(config-if)#ip rip authentication mode md5 This specifies the interface to

authenticate RIP packets with
MD5 mode.
4 ZXR10(config-if)#ip rip authentication key-chain This sets to provide

<key-id><key-string> key-chain in interface MD5
authentication.
<key-id> ID of the key node in key-chain, the range is 1-255.
<key-string> Value of the key, the range is 1-16 characters.
3. Configuring split horizon and poison reverse mechanisms

mode.

configuration mode.
3 ZXR10(config-if)#ip split-horizon This enables split horizon

mechanism.
By default, it is enabled. Use
no to disable split horizon
mechanism.

mechanism.
It is suggested that users do not change the default state of split horizon unless to
ensure to advertise route correctly. If the split horizon is disabled on serial port (and
the port connects to packet switching network), then those of all the related routers
and access servers have to be disabled.
4. Configuring route redistribution
To redistribute routes from a routing domain to RIP routing domain, perform the
following steps.

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-rip)#redistribute <protocol>[process-i This redistributes routes of

d][metric <metric-value>][route-map <name>] other routing protocols to RIP.
<protocol> Source routing protocol of route redistribution, which

can be the following keyword: ospf-ext, ospf-int, static,
bgp-ext, bgp-int, connected, isis-1, isis-2, and isis-1-2
<protocol> The source protocol redistributed. It can be ospf-ext,

ospf-int, static, bgp-ext, bgp-int, connected, isis-1, isis-2
or isis-1-2.
metric <metric-value> Specifies the route metric to introduce the route. If it is not
specified, the default-metric is used. Its range is 1-16.
route-map <map-tag> The name of the route map for redistribution, 1-31
characters.
Configuring RIP Version

ZXR10 5900E supports RIPv1 and RIPv2, and it uses RIPv2 by default.
To specify RIP version for router receiving or sending packets, use the following
commands.

The default setting is RIPv2.
To specify the RIP version of packets to be sent or received by an interface, perform the
following commands.
RIP default state specified by version command can be ignored.

3 ZXR10(config-if)#ip rip receive version {1 | 2} This specifies RIP version

(RIPv1 or RIPv2) of the packets
to be received by an interface.
Use default setting if version is
not used, that is, both of RIPv1
and RIPv2 packets are received
4 ZXR10(config-if)#ip rip send version {1 | 2 {broadcast This specifies RIP version

| multicast}} (RIPv1 or RIPv2) of the packets
to be sent by an interface.
1 The interface only sends RIPv1 packets
2 The interface only sends RIPv2 packets. Here, broadcast or multicast mode can
be selected.
broadcast The interface send compatible packets to broadcast address. All of routes are natural
networks, and no supernetting route.
multicast The interface sends RIPv2 packets to multicast address. By using auto-summary,
sub network route can be sent.
2.3 RIP Maintenance

To maintain RIP on ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands.

show Command Output Description
auto-summary This shows that only the summarized routes of natural

network and suppernetting can be sent (for RIPv2).
Use no to sent all RIP routes.
Be noted that the following policy is still available even if
auto-summary is used. When a router has the RIP sub
network route of the natural network to which the IP address
of a RIP interface belongs, the RIP update packet sent by the
RIP interface to outside does not contain the route of natural
network to which its IP address belongs, but it contains the
routes of other RIP sub networks which do not belong to the
same natural network segment with RIP the interface.
default-metric This sets the default metric value for redistributing the routes
generated by other protocol to RIP routes.
Use no to restore the default value of 1.
This command can be used with redistribute command
together to make route selection protocol use the same
metric value for all redistributed routes.
Default metric helps to solve the route redistribution problem
caused by routes adopting different metric values. It can
provide a reasonable alternative method to ensure that the
redistribution can be performed successfully.
distance This defines RIP route administrative distance.

This changes the decision of global routing table to select
optimized route.
validate-update-source This enables the function that check the validity of source IP
address of the received RIP updating packet.
Use no to disable this function.
flash-update-threshold This defines RIP flash timer.

Protocol flash timer can be set according to the actual
requirements.
maximum-paths This sets the number of routes supported by load balancing.

The number of routes received by RIP protocol can be
changed according to the actual load balancing requirements.
This command shows what will be displayed after show ip rip database is used.

send subnet only This shows that after this command is used, the interface
only sends the information of the route which belongs to the
same sub network with itself, and it blocks the information of
the route which belongs to other sub network.
It applies to such a case that the lower router sends route
information to upper router. Only the information of local sub
network needs to be advertised. In this way, the route traffic
can be reduced a lot.
notify default The route entry sent by interface contains default route.
For parameter only, that means the route entry sent by
interface only contains default route.
originate default A default route is generated on interface, and it is forced to

advertise.
For parameter only, that means the interface only sends
default route. A default route is generated on interface, and it
is forced to advertise, but the default route is not added into
the routing table of local router but it is added into the routing
table of neighbor router.
neighbor restrict Interface neighbor restrict mode

When interface neighbor restrict mode is entered but
neighbor is not configured on the interface, the neighbor
still can be found but no point-to-point packets are sent to
neighbor, and only multicast packets are sent. In this time,
the neighbor can receive the packets. After a neighbor is
configured on the interface, the neighbor which is found
before will be deleted, and no neighbor can be found. At the
same time, the interface only sends point-to-point packets
to the configured neighbor. Meanwhile, the interface can
receive packets from the configured neighbor only, the
packets from other sources are discarded.
To realize the effect described above, neighbor restrict mode
has to be configured on both of routers, and the routers need
to enable neighbor.
This example shows what will be displayed after show ip rip neighbors is used.

3.1 OSPF Overview

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is one of the most popular and widely used routing
protocols. OSPF is a link state protocol, which overcomes the disadvantages of RIP and
other distance vector protocols. OSPF version 1 is defined by RFC1131. At present, OSPF
version 2 is used, which is defined in RFC2328. ZXR10 5900E supports OSPF version 2
completely.
OSPF has the following features.
l It converges fast. To ensure the synchronization of database, OSPF fast floods the
updating of link state and calculates routing table at the same time.
l It does not have route loop. Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm is applied to guarantee
that no loops will be generated.
l It adopts route aggregation, which reduces the size of the routing table.
l It supports Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing
(CIDR).
l It uses trigger updating mechanism to send updating message only when network
changes.
l It supports interface packet authentication to guarantee the security of routing
calculation
l It sends update packet by multicast mode.
OSPF Basic
An OSPF switch generates the routing table by setting up a link state database. The link
state databases of all OSPF switchs must be the totally same. Link state database is built
according to Link State Advertisements (LSAs) which are generated by all switchs and
spread over the whole OSPF network. There are many types of LSAs, and a complete
LSA set shows an accurate distribution diagram over the whole network.

OSPF Algorithm
OSPF uses cost as the metric. The cost is distributed to each port of a switch. A port
calculates the cost based on 100 M benchmark by default. The path cost to a particular
destination is the total cost of all links between the switch and the destination.
To generate a routing table by using LSA database, a switch runs the Dijkstra SPF
algorithm to construct the shortest path tree. switch is the root of the path tree. The
Dijkstra algorithm calculates the a path with the lowest cost to any node on the network.
switch saves the routes of the paths in the routing table.
Compared to RIP, OSPF does not simply broadcast all its routing information regularly.
An OSPF switch uses hello packets to keep the neighborhood. When a switch does not
receive any hello packets from a neighbor within a period of time (dead-interval), then it
will consider that the neighbor is not already alive.
OSPF routes are incrementally updated. switch sends the update information only when
topology changes. When the age of an LSA reaches 1800 seconds (LSA updating interval,
LSRefreshTime), switch sends an LSA updating packet.
OSPF Network Types

OSPF network type determines the forming of adjacency relationship and the setting of
interface timer. There are five network types in OSPF, and they are as follows:
l Broadcast network
l Non-Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) network
l Point-to-Point network
l Point-to-Multipoint network
l Virtual Links network
HELLO Packet and Timer

OSPF routers exchange HELLO packets in a certain interval, which is to keep alive state
among neighbors. By using HELLO packet, router can detect OSPF neighbor and select
the Designated Router (DR) and the Backup Designated Router (BDR). In broadcast,
point-to-multipoint and point-to-point network types, HELLO packets can be sent in
multicast mode. In NBMA network, point-to-multipoint network and virtual links, HELLO
packets are sent in unicast mode.
OSPF uses three kinds of timers relating to HELLO packets:
1. Sending interval (HELLO interval)
HELLO interval is an attribute of interface, which defines the interval that a router sends
HELLO packets by a router from each interface. The default HELLO packet sending
interval depends on the network type.
In broadcast and point-to-point networks, the default HELLO packet sending interval
is 10 seconds. In NBMA and point-to-multipoint networks, the default HELLO packet
sending interval is 30 seconds. The adjacent routers must have the same Hello interval
so as to become neighbors.

2. Router dead-interval
The router dead-interval refers to the waiting time from the router receiving the last
hello packet to the router detecting that the neighbor is offline. The default router
dead-interval is four times of HELLO packet sending interval, which is applicable to all
network types.
3. Poll Interval
Poll interval only applies to NBMA network.
OSPF Neighbors
OSPF neighbors are a group of routers belonging to the same network. These routers
stipulate some configuration parameters. The routers must be neighbors to form
adjacency. To form adjacency, the routers have to be neighborhood.
Routers analyze their HELLO packets to make sure that the required parameters are
stipulated when they want to form neighborhood. The following parameters have to be
consistent so that the adjacent routers can set up neighborhood, area ID, area flag,
authentication information, HELLO packet sending interval and router dead interval.
Adjacency and DR
When two routers form an adjacency, they can exchange routing messages. Whether two
routers can form an adjacency depends upon network type connected to routers. The
network type of the connecting router decides whether two routers can form adjacency.
l There are only two routers in point-to point network or virtual links. The two routers
have to exchange the related routing information, so they can form an adjacency
automatically. A point-to-multipoint network can be regarded as a set of point-to-point
networks, so an adjacency is formed between each pair of routers.
l In a broadcast or an NBMA network, an adjacency may not be formed between two
neighbors. If adjacencies are already established among all routers (the number
of routers is "n" for example) on a network, each router will have "(n-1)" adjacent
connections and the network will have "n×(n-1)/2" adjacent connections.
In a large multi-access network, the router will be too heavy traffic if every one needs to
trace so many adjacent connections. Furthermore, the exchanging of routing information
between each adjacent routers wastes lots of network bandwidths.
Since a large multi-access network has a mass of redundancy information, OSPF defines
a DR and a BDR. The DR and BDR must form an adjacency with each OSPF router on
network. Each OSPF router only forms an adjacent relationships with DR and BDR. All
routers only send routing information to DR, and DR sends the information to other routers
in the same network segment. The two routers (neither DR nor BDR) do not establish an
adjacency between each other and neither will they exchange routing information. If the
DR stops working, the BDR will become a DR.

Router Priority and DR Election

Every interface has its own priority on router, which affects the capability of the router to
become a DR or BDR on the network. The priority of router interface is expressed by an
eight-bit unsigned integer, ranging from 0 to 255 (the default value is "1").
In DR election, the interface priorities are compared at first. The router with the highest
priority becomes a DR in the network segment. If the priorities of two routers are the same,
the router which router id is the largest will become a DR. The router which priority is 0
cannot be a DR or BDR.
DR is a concept used in network segment, which is based on router interface. That is,
a router can be a DR on its an interface, and it can be BDR or DROther on its another
interface.
OSPF Area
To reduce the information size that each router stores and maintains and shield the range
that network changing influences on, OSPF divides a network into some minor parts.
Each router must have the complete information of the area where it locates. Area
Border Router (ABR) is used to transmit routing information between different areas. The
information is shared by areas. The routing information can be filtered on area edge,
which reduces the routing information stored in routers.
An area is identified with 32-bit unsigned number. Area 0 is reserved to identify backbone
network, and all other areas must be connected to area 0. The backbone area of OSPF
network has to be continuous. Routers can be one or multiple of the following types
according to its tasks in the area, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 OSPF Router Type
l Internal router
All interfaces of the router belong to the same OSPF area. An internal router only
generates a Router LSA and saves a Link-state Database (LSDB).

l Backbone router
A router that its one interface belongs to area 0 at least.
l ABR
A router that its one interface belongs to area 0 at least and one interface belongs to
other area at least.
All ABRs are backbone routers.
l Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBR)
The router has other routing protocols, such as static route, interface direct route and
RIP, IGRP and so on.
The advantages of area division are listed below:
l Since ABR generates LSAs according by using routes in its area after dividing areas,
the routes can be aggregated firstly according to the rule of IP addresses, and then
generate LSAs. In this way, the number of LSAs is reduced a lot in AS.
l After the area is divided, the changing of network topology is synchronized in the area
firstly. If the changing influences on the aggregated route, ABR will notify the changing
to other areas. In this way, most of topology changings are shielded in the area.
LSA Type and Flooding

LSA is a mode of exchanging link state database information among OSPF routers. A
router uses LSAs to construct an accurate and complete network diagram and generates
the routes used in its routing table. ZXR10 5900E supports the following eight types of
LSAs.
l Type 1: Router LSA
It is the basic LSA. Every OSPF router generates a Router LSA. Router LSA is used to
describe the information of the interface running OSPF on router, such as connection
status, cost and so on. An ABR generates a Router LSA for every area. A Router
LSA is transmitted in the whole area at where it locates.
l Type 2: Network LSA
The Network LSA is generated by DR. For a broadcast or NBMA network, to reduce
the times of packet exchanging between routers in a network segment, the concept
of DR is advanced. When a DR exists in a network segment, not only the method
of packets sending is changed, but also the description of link state is changed. The
Router LSA generated by a DROther or BDR only describes the connection from itself
to a DR. While, DR uses the Network LSA to describe all routers which already set
up adjacent relationships with itself in the network segment (it lists the Router IDs of
adjacent routers). A Network LSA is transmitted in the whole area at where it locates.
l Type 3: Network summary LSA
Network summary LSAs are generated by ABRs. When a ABR finishes routing
calculation in the area at where it locates, it enquires the routing table and
encapsulates each OSPF route into a Network Summary LSA. The Network

Summary LSAs are sent out area, which describe some information of a route, such
as the destination address, mask and cost. A Network summary LSA is transmitted
to all areas except the area which generates the LSA.
l Type 4: ASBR summary LSA
The ASBR summary LSA is also generated by an ABR. It describes the route that
goes to the ASBR in the area. The content of ASBR Summary LSA is almost the
same to that of Network summary LSA. The only difference is that the destination
address described by ASBR summary LSA is ASBR (host route, the mask is 0.0.0.0).
A ASBR summary LSA is transmitted to all areas except the area which generates
the LSA.
l Type 5: External LSA of AS
The external LSA of AS is generated by an ASBR. It mainly describes the information
of an route which goes to the external AS. An external LSA of AS contains some
information, such as destination address, mask and cost and so on. External LSA of
AS is an unique type that is independent of area. An external LSA of AS is transmitted
in the whole AS (except STUB area).
l Type 7: External LSA of Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA)
External LSA of NSSA only applies to NSSA.
l Type 9: Local non-transparent LSA
l Type 10: Area non-transparent LSA
OSPF operation depends on all the routers in one area which share a common link state
database. Therefore, all LSAs are flooded through the area and the processing must be
reliable. A router which receives LSAs from a special area will flood the LSAs to other
interfaces which belong to the i area.
LSAs do not have their own packets, and they are contained in Link state Update (LSU)
packets. A LSU can contain many LSAs.
When a router receives a LSU, it abstracts the LSA from the packet and inputs the LSA to
its database. Meanwhile, the router constructs its own LSU and sends the updated LSU
to its adjacent neighbor router(s).
OSPF uses Link State Acknowledgement (LSAck) to confirm whether each LSA is
successfully received by its neighbor. A LSAck has the header of an acknowledged LSA,
which provides sufficient information for uniquely identifying an LSA.
When a router sends a LSA to an interface, the LSA is recorded in the retransmission
queue of the interface.
The router will wait the maximum time interval to receive the LSAck of LSA. If the router
does not receive the LSAck in the specified time, it will retransmit the LSA.
The router can send the original LSU in unicast or multicast mode, but the retransmitted
LSU is must in unicast mode.

Stub Area and Totally Stubby Area

When a non-backbone area does not have an ASBR, a router only has one path arriving
to an AS external network, that is, a path passing through an ABR. Therefore, the routers
belonging to these areas will send the LSAs sending to the unknown hosts outside the AS
to ABR.
In this way, it is not required that flood LSAs of type 5 to the area. The area does not have
the LSAs of type 4 either. The area is called stub area.
In a stub area, all routers must be configured as stub routers. A HELLO packet contains
a "stub area" flag bit. The flag bit must be consistent among neighbors.
The ABR in a stub area can filter LSAs of type 5 to prevent them from being advertised to
stub area. In meantime, the ABR generates an LSA of type 3 to advertise a default route
arriving to an AS external destination address.
If the ABR also filters the LSA of type 3 and advertises a default route arriving to an AS
external destination address, the area is called totally stubby area.
Not-So-Stubby Area
A router in a stub area refuses LSAs of type 5, so ASBR is not a part of the stub area.
However, it is hoped that a stub area with an ASBR can be generated. In this way, routers
in the area can receive AS external routes from the ASBR belonging to the same area, but
the external routing information from other areas will be blocked.
To realize such an area, OSPF defines NSSA. In a NSSA, an ASBR generates LSAs of
type 7 instead the LSAs of type 5. The ABR can not send the LSAs of type 7 to other
OSPF areas. On the one hand, it blocks external routes to arrive the NSSA area at the
area border. On the other hand, it converts the LSAs of tyoe 7 into the LSAs of type 5 and
sends them to other areas.
OSPF Authentication
Authentication is used to exchange packets between two OSPF neighbors. The
authentication type should be consistent on the OSPF neighbors. Authentication type is
contained by all packets.
Authentication type "0" indicates no authentication, "1" indicates simple password
authentication and "2" indicates MD5 encryption authentication.
For plain text authentication, an interface only allows a password. The password of each
interface can be different, but the interfaces in a special network must have the same
passwords. The simple password is sent through OSPF packets in plain text mode.
DownBit
When Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) routes are redistributed to OSPF vrf instance to
generate LSAs, the option fields of type-3 and type-5 LSAs must be marked as down bit.
The LSAs are displayed as Downward. This is a method to prevent routing loopback.

When a PE router detects that a LSA is already marked as down bit, the PE will not
participate in the OSPF route calculation. When OSPF routes are redistributed to BGP,
the LSAs with down bit are not redistributed to be BGP route.
max-metric
Considering the requirements for traffic management and so on, some routers need to act
as the terminal rather than transit points of the route. In order to add the nodes without the
capability of traversing to the network, the max-metric function is used.
For example, a router just restarts, and BGP route does not converge, use the max-metric
router-lsa on-startup wait-for-bgp command to avoid route black hole.
3.2 Configuring the OSPF Protocol

Enabling the OSPF Protocol
To enable the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol on routers and make them learn
routes between each other by using the OSPF protocol, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#router ospf <process-id>[vrf <vrf-name>] Starts the OSPF process and

enters OSPF configuration
mode.
After the OSPF protocol is
enabled, one of the current
interfaces (with IP addresses)
is selected as the address of
the OSPF router.
If no interface is configured with
an IP address on a router, the
interface (with IP addresses)
cannot be selected as the
address of the OSPF router.
To obtain an address as the
router ID, you can configure an
interface address or configure
a router ID manually. After you
configure a router ID, clear the
OSPF process.
2 ZXR10(config-ospf-1)#network <ip-address><wildcard- Sets an interface to run the

mask> area <area-id> OSPF protocol, and sets an
area ID for the interface.
If the area does not exist, the
system creates it automatically.

Configuring an NSSA Area

To configure an NSSA area, the following conditions are required: The OSPF protocol is
run on routers, and the area to be configured is a stub area or a non-backbone area.
Create a stub area with an ASBR. Routers in this area receive routing messages from an
external AS through the ASBR. External routing messages from other areas are blocked.
Because some routers do not support the NSSA configuration and cannot recognize Type
7 LSAs, the protocol defines that the ABR on the NSSA converts Type 7 LSAs generated
within the NSSA to Type 5 LSAs, and then advertises the LSAs. At this time, the advertiser
of the LSAs is changed to the ABR. This is called routing translation. Using this method,
routers outside the NSSA area are not required to support the NSSA configuration.
To configure an NSSA area on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:

Configuring OSPF Inter-Area Route Aggregation

Route aggregation saves the resource of backbone areas. You can advertise the
aggregated address instead of a group of network addresses by using route aggregation.
Before configuring inter-area route aggregation, the required areas must have been
created. This command can only be used on the ABR.
To configure route aggregation between OSPF areas, perform the following steps:
2 ZXR10(config-ospf-1)#area <area-id> range Sets the range of summary

<ip-address><net-mask>{ summary-link | nssa-external-link addresses in the area.
}[advertise | not-advertise][ cost <cost-value>]
summary-link | nssa-external-link summary-link: type-3 summary.

nssa-external-link: type-7 summary.
advertise Summary LSA of type 3 is advertised.
not-advertise Summary LSA of type 3 is disabled to be advertised. The

information of the network segment is not received by other
areas.
cost <cost-value> Metric for the range. Set the metric for the aggregation LSA.
Range: 1-16777214.

S3 does not learn the routing information from 2.2.2.0. The aggregated information of
2.2.2.0 still exists in S2 database, but the information is not advertised to other areas.
Configuring Route Aggregation upon Route Redistribution

The following configuration can only be used on ASBRs.
After routes using other routing protocols are redistributed to OSPF, each independent
route is advertised as an external LSA. By means of aggregating, these external routes
are advertised as a single route, which reduces the size of OSPF link state database.
To configure route aggregation upon route redistribution, perform the following steps:
Step Commands Function
2 ZXR10(config-ospf-1)#summary-address Creates an aggregate address

<ip-address><net-mask> cost<cost> for OSPF and summarizes
other routing protocol paths
being redistributed to the OSPF.
Cost range: 1-16777214.
Configure the OSPF on S1, S2 and S3. Advertise external routes of S1, and configure
ASBR route aggregation on S1, see Figure 3-8.

Configuring Sham-link
Because the priority of an OSPF route is higher than that of a BGP route, an OSPF private
route is usually the first choice if both a public network route and an OSPF private network
route are available. However, comparing with the public network route, the private network
route is not suitable for carrying a large flow because its bandwidth is smaller. Therefore,
a mechanism is required to enable the public network to share the private network flow.
The public and private network can be selected flexibly to carry the flow.
As shown in Figure 3-12, S1 and S2 are in the same area. There are two types of LSAs
learnt by S1 when it accesses S2. One is LSAs of type 3 advertised by a PE router, another
is LSAs of type 1 flooded by area 0. In accordance with the OSPF route selection policy,
the route calculated by LSAs of type 1 is optimal, so the OSPF private network route is
selected. Sham-link is configured to enable the public network to share the flow.
Figure 3-12 Sham-link
Enable sham-link between PE routers, establish neighborhood, and establish an

interactive database. A private network router belonging to the same area can learn two
inner-area routes: one route uses sham-link (MPLS VPN Backbone), another uses the
private network. To select a route, modify metric attribute.
To configure sham-link on PEs, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#router ospf <area-id> Enters OSPF configuration

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-ospf-1)#area <area-id> sham-link<ip-addr Sets up MPLS VPN between

ess1><ip-address2> cost<cost> two PE routers to transmit
OSPF protocol packets.

OSPF routes. Transit-link of
local router-lsa is set to 65535.
Only routes generated by
this router can be learnt by
other routers. The router is
accessible in topology, but other
routers cannot access through
it.

complete the GR operation.
3 ZXR10(config-ospf-process-id)#grace-period <time> (Optional) Configures the

duration for the OSPF GR. By
default, it is set to 120 seconds.
If there are too many route
entries to be switched, you can

3.4.2 OSPF Configuration Example Two

As shown in Figure 3-14, S1 does not need to learn the external route of backbone area,
while it needs to advertise itself external route. Here, establish NSSA area between S1
and S2, set up link between S2 and S3 in backbone area.
Figure 3-14 OSPF Configuration Example Two
1. Set up link between S1 and S2 in NSSA area 255, and set up link between S2 and S3
in area 0.
2. Redistribute direct-connected route on S3 and S1 respectively.
3. Configure NSSA default route advertisement on S2.
4. As a result, S1 can not learn the detailed route of S3 address, but there is a default
route pointing to S2. S3 can learn the direct-connected route redistributed by S1.

3.4.3 OSPF Multi-Instance Configuration Example

Users can configure multiple protocol instances. These protocol instances can belong
to the same VPN/public network or different Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Different
protocol instances are independent of each other. They maintain the neighbor relationship,
LSDB of their own and calculate routes. However, the multiple instances belonging to the
same VPN/pbulic network share the same VPN/public network routing table. This is mainly
to divide and isolate networks.
In the following example, CE1 isolates the information flooded by PE1 and PE2. The
network topology is shown in Figure 3-15.
Figure 3-15 OSPF Multi-Instance Configuration Example
1. PE1 and CE1 establish OSPF neighbor relationship.
2. PE2 and CE1 establish OSPF neighbor relationship.
3. PE2 should not learn the link-state information related to vpn1.

4.1 IS-IS Overview

Introduction to IS-IS
Intermediate System to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) is launched by International Standard
Organization (ISO), which is a routing protocol used for Connectionless Network Service
(CLNS). IS-IS is a network layer protocol of Open System Interconnection (OSI). By
expanding IS-IS protocol, the support to IP routing is added, and the integrated IS-IS
protocol is formed.
IS-IS is already widely used in network acting as a kind of Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).
The working principle of IS-IS is similar to that of OSPF. IS-IS divides a network into some
areas. The routers of an area only manage the routing information of their area. In this
way, the router cost is saved. IS-IS can satisfy the requirements for middle and large-scale
network.
Since the IS-IS protocol is based on CLNS (not IP), IS-IS uses Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
defined by ISO to implement communication between routers. The types of PDUs used in
IS-IS protocol are as follows:
l Hello PDU
l Link state PDU (LSP)
l Sequence Number PDU (SNP)
Where, Hello PDU is similar to the HELLO packet in OSPF protocol, which is responsible
to form adjacency between routers, discovers new neighbors and detects the leaving of
any neighbors.
IS-IS routers uses LSA to exchange routing information, set up and maintain link state
database. A LSP indicates the important information related to a router, including the area
and the connected network. SNP is used to ensure that LSPs can be transmitted reliably.
SNP contains the summary information of every LSP on the network. When a router
receives a SNP, it compares the SNP with its link state database. If the router loses a

LSP existing in the SNP, it will send a SNP in multicast mode to ask for the required LSP
from other routers on the network.
By using LSPs in conjunction with SNPs, IS-IS protocol can interact routes reliably on a
large network.
Likewise, IS-IS protocol also uses the Dijkstra SPF algorithm to calculate routes. Based
on the link state database, it uses the SPF algorithm to calculate the optimal route and
then adds the route to IP routing table.
IS-IS Operation Principle

Basic IS-IS Concepts
l Area partition
The IS-IS dynamic route protocol uses a layered topology architecture. The network
consists two layers to reduce the load of the router. This architecture can better meet
the requirements of large scale network applications. For the architecture, see Figure
4-1.
Figure 4-1 IS-IS Architecture
The IS-IS architecture consists of two layers: L1 and L2. The L2 layer consists of L2
routers. It operates as the backbone network. The L1 layer consists of L1 routers and
L1/L2 routers. It operates as a non-backbone network. L1 routers can only exchange
routing information with L1 routers and L1/L2 routers in this area.

The relation that can be established between routers is as follows:

à L1 neighbor relation can be established between two L1 routers only when the
area IDs of them match each other.
à L2 neighbor relation can be established between two L2 routers even if the area
IDs do not match each other.
à L1 neighbor relation can be established between one L1 router and one L1/L2
router only when the area IDs of them match each other.
à L2 neighbor relation can be established between one L2 router and one L1/L2
router even if the area IDs of the routers do not match each other.
à L1 neighbor relation and L2 neighbor relation can be established between two

L1/L2 routers at the same time if the area IDs of them match each other.
à L2 neighbor relation can be established between two L1/L2 routers if the ares IDs
of them do not match each other.
l IS-IS address architecture
ISO address is a network address. It is used to indicate the area ID and the system ID.
The NET address format can be expanded. The system ID usually consists 6 bytes.
It is used to identify the interface MAC address.
NSAP consists of the Initial Domain Part (IDP) and the Domain Specific Part (DSP),
see Figure 4-2. The IDP is similar to the network ID in an IP address, and the DSP is
similar to the subnet ID, host address, and the port in an IP address.
Figure 4-2 NSAP Address Architecture
The IDP is defined by the ISO. It consists of the Authority and Format Identifier (AFI)
and the Initial Domain Identifier (IDI). AFI refers to the address allocation organization
and the address format. The IDI is used to identify the domain.
The DSP consists of the High Order DSP, SystemID and the SEL.
à The HODSP is used to divide areas.

à The system ID is used to distinguish hosts.
à The SEL is used to indicate service type.
The length of the IDP and the DSP can be changed. The NSAP can be up to 20 bytes
in length and at least 8 bytes. The system ID identifies a unique host or a router in an
area. Its length is 48 bit (6 bytes) invariably. The SEL (NSAP Selector, sometimes it is

shorted to N-SEL) is similar to the protocol ID in an IP address. Different transmission

protocols have different SELs. In an IP address, the SEL is 00.
IS-IS neighbor establishment
The IS-IS distinguishes networks as point-to-point networks and broadcast networks. The
neighbor establish processes are different on these two types of networks.
l Establish neighbor on a point-to-point link
If the Intermediate System (IS) on the network is configured with the IS-IS routing
protocol and the interface is in UP state, the system sends IIH PDU packets. The other
neighboring intermediate systems perform the following operations after receiving the
packets:
When the IS receives a point-to-point IIH PDU packet, it compares the area addresses
of these two ISs to ensure that the neighbor can be established. If the two ISs have
the same area address, the neighbor can be established for all IS router combinations
(except the connection between one L1 IS and one L2 Only IS). However, if the area
addresses are different, the neighbor can only be established between two L2 ISs.
On a point-to-point network, if the area address is correct, the local intermediate
system matches the circuit type of the received IIH PDU packet with that in the local
intermediate system. If they match each other, neighbor relation can be established,
the neighbor information is added to the neighbor database, and the neighbor state is
set to UP. If the circuit types do not match each other, this packet is dropped.
The above neighbor establishment process is proposed in RFC1142, which is based
on the premise that the point-to-point network is absolutely reliable. However, the
network is not necessarily reliably. Therefore, the RFC3373 introduced the TLV.
Establish neighbor relation after three times of handshaking, see Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3 Three Times of Handshaking
The IIH PDU sent by router RTA carries the type 240 TLV, in which, the neighbor's
three states are saved. When router RTB receives the packet, it confirms the next
neighbor state according to the state of its neighbor and the neighbor state in the TLV.
For the state changes, refer to Table 4-1.

l Establish neighbor on a broadcast link

On a broadcast network, neighbor relation is also established through three times of
handshaking. The L1 intermediate system sends L1 LAN IIH PDUs to the broadcast
address AllL1ISs, and intercepts packets based on this address. The L2 intermediate
system sends L2 LAN IIH PDUs to the broadcast address AllL2ISs, and intercepts
packets based on this address.
To create a neighbor for L1, the intermediate system receives a L1 LAN IIH PDU
packet on the broadcast address AllL1ISs. It compares every area address in the
received IIH PDU with the locally configured area address. If the area addresses do
not match each other, the neighbor cannot be created.
When the intermediate system receives a LAN IIH PDU packet, it checks whether the
neighbor already exists in its neighbor database.
à The neighbor's MAC is similar to the MAC source address in the PDU.
à The neighbor system ID is consistent with that of the PDU.
à The neighbor types are also consistent with each other.
If the above conditions are complied with, the neighbor exists, and the intermediate
system updates the timer, priority, and neighbor area addresses according to the
values in the PDU. If the above conditions are not complied with, for example, the
MAC addresses are in consistent with each other, this packet is dropped.
If the neighbor type is not consistent with the system ID, this neighbor is considered
to be a new neighbor, and this neighbor is added to the neighbor database. The state
of this neighbor will be set to INIT. The intermediate system then checks the neighbor
TLV carried in the IIH PDU packet. If its MAC address is contained in the neighbor TLV,
the state of the neighbor is set to UP, and an IIH PDU packet is sent. The intermediate
system neighbor TLV of the PDU will carry the MAC address of the neighbor.
After the neighbor receives the IIH PDU packet, it performs the similar operations. If
this neighbor does not exists, the neighbor is added to its neighbor state database
and the state is set to INIT. The intermediate system queries its MAC address in the
IIH PDU packet and sets the state to UP. For the process, see Figure 4-4.

l DIS election on a broadcast link

The IS-IS protocol selects a specified Designate IS (DIS) to reduce the neighbor
information carried in the LSP sent on the broadcast network and simplify the network
architecture. The IS-IS protocol considers the network as a DIS or a pseudo-node.
Each intermediate system, including the DIS advertises links to the pseudo-node. The
DIS also advertises a link to all intermediate systems that are connected with itself,
see Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 DIS on a Broadcast Network
A DIS is the system that has the highest priority on a broadcast network. If the priorities
of all intermediate systems are the same, the intermediate system with the greatest
MAC address is the DIS. Generally, each network has two DISs: the L1 DIS and the
L2 DIS.
The conditions for electing a DIS are as follows:
à When the IS-IS process is started on a router, the DIS election is performed after
three Hello packets are sent

à At least one neighbor in UP state is required.

à If the state of a neighbor changes, DIS election is required.
à If the LAN ID in the IIH PDU carried by the neighbor changes, DIS election is
required.
Both the local router and other routers can be elected as the DIS. If the local router is
elected as the DIS, the DIS performs the following steps:
1. If other ISs exist, set the lifetime of the pseudo-nodes to 0 and delete them on the
network.
2. Generate new pseudo-node LSP and perform flooding.
3. Generate new nonpseudo-node LSP and perform flooding.
If the local IS does not operate as the DIS, perform the following steps:
1. Set the lifetime of the pseudo-nodes generated by itself to 0 and perform flooding
on the network.
2. Generate new nonpseudo-node LSP and perform flooding.
Reliable flooding and link state database synchronization
The following describes the frequently used terms in the IS-IS:
l CSNP: Complete Sequence Numbers Protocol Data Unit.
It is used to check link state consistency on both point-to-point links and broadcast
links.
l PSNP: Partial Sequence Numbers Protocol Data Unit.
It is used to
à acknowledge the received LSP on point-to-point links.
à apply for latest version or the lost LSP.

l SRM: Send Routing Message.
It is used to control the LSP to transmit messages to a neighbor router.
l SSN: Send Sequence Numbers Message.
It is used to
à acknowledge the received LSP that is flooded on point-to-point links.
à apply for the complete LSP information for synchronizing the database on
broadcast links.
l TLV: Type/Length/Value. Type: Type of a specified field. Length: Length of a specified
field. Value: Information contents.
The TLV is carried in the PDU of the IS-IS, and is used to describe the extendable
fields.
The CSNP and PSNP have the same package format, and carry the LSP abstract
information respectively. The difference between them is that the CSNP advertised

by a router carries all LSP abstract information that is available in the router link state
database. But the PSNP only carries a subset of the information.
The SRM and the SSN are mainly used for router selection information diffusion and
database synchronization.
l Point-to-point links
The IS-IS protocol uses a reliable flooding mechanism on point-to-point links. On a
point-to-point link, there is only one neighbor router on the opposite end of the link,
and the router uses limited bandwidth to trace acknowledge messages sent by the
neighbor router.
The CSNP simplifies the database synchronization process. When the neighbor
relation between two connected routers is established for the first time, all CSNPs on
the point-to-point link are exchanged. Through comparing the CSNP with the local
database and the database of each neighbor router, the missing or expired LSP can
be confirmed.
Use the PSNP to apply for the missing or the LSP of the current version. If the router
finds that some neighbor routers lack the LSP, the router can flood the LSP. During the
flooding, use the SSN to identify that it is the PSNP that needs to be sent, and use the
SRM to identify that it is the LSP that needs to be sent. When the PSNP acknowledge
packet is received from the peer end, the SRM tag can be cleared. If the acknowledge
packet is not received, the corresponding packet is resent after timeout.
For the example of the diffusion process on point-to-point networks, see Figure 4-6.
The neighbor relation between RTB and RTC is normal, and RTA and RTB establish
the adjacent relation for the first time.

is as follows:
Step RTA RTB

2 - Receives the CSNP from RTA and

sends the PSNP request. The RTA's
CSNP is lost. RTB finds the LSP of
the local link state database that is

On broadcast links, LSP is diffused to adjacent routers on layer 1 and layer 2 through
broadcast addresses ALL L1S and ALL L2S. The diffusion on broadcast links does
not require reliable transmission.
Unreliable diffusion requires a mechanism to guarantee database synchronization.
The IS-IS router uses the DIS to broadcast CNSP periodically to implement database
synchronization on broadcast links.
The DIS controls the diffusion and database synchronization on broadcast links. The
IS-IS protocol does not require that the IS-Is routers can only establish adjacent
relation with DIS on broadcast links. After the hello packet is broadcasted and three
times of handshaking, adjacent relation can be established between routers. Three
times of handshaking means that all routers report the detected routers. The CSNP
sent by the DIS is transmitted periodically to ensure that all routers on the LAN
receives a copy. Through comparing the CNSP and that in the link state database,
the missing LSP and new version LSP can be recognized. The router can then send
the PSNP packet to apply for the LSP.
Broadcasting CSNP periodically consumes lots of bandwidth and thus the cost is high.
However, this is a simple reliable transmission policy on a broadcast link. You can
reduce the sending frequency by increasing the sending interval.
RTA and RTB are connected to the link, and RTC is the last router that is connected
to the link. The RTA link state database contains RTA.00-00, RTA.01-00(pseudo lsp),
and RTB.00-00, see Figure 4-7.
Figure 4-7 Diffusion and Database Synchronization on a Broadcast Link
1. RTC generates an LSP (RTC.00-00) after RTA establishes the adjacent relation
with RTB. RTC then copies the LSP and saves it to its database. After this, RTC
diffuses another copy to the link through interface 3.
2. RTA that operates as the DIS advertises a CSNP to the link in broadcast mode.
3. After RTC receives the CSNP, it compares the CSNP with that in the local link
state database. It finds that three LSPs are unavailable: RTA.00-00, RTA.01-00,
and RTB.00-00. RTC sends a PSNP to the link to request for the LSPs.
4. RTA sends RTA.00-00, RTA.01-00, and RTB.00-00 in broadcast mode. After RTC
receives the copies, the RTC's database can be synchronized with the RTA's
database.

Route-leaking
Attatch bit: The RFC1195 defines that if an L1/L2 router in an area is connected with a
router in another area, the L1/L2 router sets the ATT bit in its L1 LSP to inform the L1
router in this area that there is an egress. the L1 router in this area selects the nearest L2
on which the ATT bit is set as the egress of the area, and then a default route is generated.
The L1 router selects the nearest L1/L2 router as the egress of this area, but the nearest
route is not necessarily the optimum route, the second optimum route may be used.
Therefore, the RFC2966 defined the route-leaking. To avoid the use of second optimum
route, the routing information in the backbone area is leaked to the Level–1 area. Using
this method, the common areas also have the routing information of the entire IS-IS route
domain.
For the route-leaking operation, see Figure 4-8.

4.2 Configuring the IS-IS Protocol

4.4 IS-IS Configuration Examples

4.4.1 Single Area IS-IS Configuration Example
It is required that analyze the network before starting IS-IS configuration. According to
network size, decide the network topology that how many areas to be divided and how
many routing protocol to be ran on network. Configure IS-IS on a single area if the network
scale is not much larger.
As shown in Figure 4-9, configure IS-IS on a single area.

Use show isis topology on S1 to view whether the topology can be calculated correctly. If
the topology is calculated correctly, the following entry can be viewed on the command
output. If "–" is shown under the field of metric, it means the local router. If "**" is shown
under the field of metric, it means inaccessible.
S1(config)#show isis topology

Use show isis circuits on S1 to view the interface information and the DIS election. The
UP means that the interface state is normal. The Down means that the interface state
is abnormal. For abnormal interface state, it is required that inspect the link state and IP
configuration.

4.4.2 Multiple Area IS-IS Configuration Example

For a larger size network, use multiple IS-IS areas. According to the geographic locations
and the functions of routers, partition the close routers to an area. Area division helps
to lighten the demands for memory. The area only need to maintain a smaller link state
database. A router only needs to maintain a smaller link state database in its area.
As shown in Figure 4-10, S1 belongs to area 1, S2 belongs to area 0, and S3 and S4
belong to area 2. S1 aggregates the routes of the network segment in area 1, and S4
redistributes the default route to IS-IS.
Figure 4-10 Multiple Area IS-IS Configuration Example
1. Configure IP addresses of interfaces.
2. Configure IS-IS protocol.
3. Enable IS-IS protocol on interfaces.
4. Enable route aggregation on S1.
5. Configure static route on S4 and redistribute default route.
6. Test the configuration. Make sure that the neighborhood is set up between S1 and S2,
between S2 and S3, and between S3 and S4 already and the topology is calculated
correctly. Ping the peer interface by one of any pair of interfaces successfully.

5.1 BGP Overview

Introduction to BGP
BGP is an inter-domain routing protocol used between ASs. By means of BGP, ASs can
exchange the information of network reachability between each other. The information
is a list of ASs where a route passes through, which is sufficient to set up a diagram to
indicate the connection status of the ASs. In this way, AS-based routing selection policy
is available, and BGP also solves the problem of route loop.
BGP of version 4 (BGP4) is the latest BGP version, which is defined in RFC1771. It has
the following features,
l It supports to realize CIDR, supernet and subnet and so on.
l It supports route aggregation.
l BGP running is reliable. It uses Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) as its bottom layer
protocol. It uses TCP No.179 port.
l It only sends route updating information.
l It sends keepalive packets regularly to make sure that TCP connection is well.
l It has consummate metric values.
l It has abundant attributes and control functions.
l It applies to large-scale network especially.
The session which is set up by BGP routers belonging to different ASs is called External
Border Gateway Protocol (EBGP) session, while a session which is set up between BGP
routers belonging to the same AS is called Internal Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP)
session.
An administrative area with independent routing policies is called an AS. The important
feature of an AS is that it has a unified internal route for another AS, and it has a consistent
topology for reachable destinations. The AS indicator is a value of 16-bit, ranging from 1
to 65535, where, 1–32767 are assignable, 32768–64511 are reserved, and 64512–65534
are used for private ASs (similar to private network addresses). When 16–bit AS number

is used, the AS number range is 1–65535. Current version also supports 32–bit AS which
is in the range of 1-4294967295.
BGP Working Principle

l BGP Attribute
The router sends BGP update messages related to the destination network to its peer
router. The BGP updating messages contain the information related to BGP metric
(called path attribute). By means of BGP attributes, the special route can be described
in detail. In this way, user can select and filter routes. The path attributes have the
following four independent types:
1. Well-known mandatory attribute: This kind of attributes has to be contained by
route description.
à AS-path
à Next-hop
à Origin
2. Well-known discretionary attribute: The kind of attributes is not necessary
contained by route description.
à Local preference
à Atomic aggregate
3. Optional transitive attributes: This kind of attributes does not require that all BGP
examples support it. However, if it is supported, it can be transmitted to its BGP
neighbor. while, if it is not supported by the current router, it will be transmitted to
other BGP routers continuously.
à Aggregator
à Community
4. Optional nontransitive attribute: This kind of attributes shows that the routers
which do not support the attribute need to delete it.
Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED)
The kinds of BGP attributes can be expanded into 256 but not all attributes are used
together. The attributes can be used selectively and flexibly.
l BGP Message Type
Four types of messages are available for BGP working:
à OPEN
It establishes BGP connection. The message includes BGP version number, local
AS number and the shortest hold time for negotiation, BGP ROUTER-ID and
other optional parameters.
à UPDATE

It sends BGP route updating packets. The message is sent only once route is
updated.
à KEEPALIVE
It confirms the peer status. The default sending interval is 60 seconds, and the
Hold-time is 180 seconds by default. Once the neighbor receives the KEEPALIVE
packet, the Hold-time timer will be reset. If the hold-time expires, then consider
that the neighbor is in abnormal status, and disconnect the BGP connection with
neighbor.
à NOTIFICATION
It is used to notify error. The router sends NOTIFICATION packet because of

errors, such as the TCP connection is failed with neighbor, failed authentication
and routing loop and so on. After sending NOTIFICATION packet, BGP
connection will be disabled.
l BGP Working Process
BGP working process is shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 BGP Working Process
1. Idle State
It is the initial state. The BGP starts initialization after the protocol is activated. It
resets the timer, launches the first TCP connection and enters state 2.
2. Connect state
The BGP starts TCP connection and waits for the message of TCP successful
connection. If the connection is successful, then the BGP enters OpenSent state.
Otherwise, the BGP enters Active state.

3. Active state: The BGP always tries to establish TCP connection. If the connection
timer times out, then the BGP returns to Connect state. If TCP connection is
successful, then BGP enters OpenSent state.
4. OpenSent state
TCP connection is established already. The BGP sends the first OPEN packet
and waits for the reply from the peer. BGP examines the reply packet. If the BGP
finds error, it will send a NOTIFICATION packet and return to Idle state. If there
is no error in the reply packet, BGP will send a KEEPALIVE packet. KEEKALIVE
timer starts timing. The BGP enters into OpenConfirm state.
5. OpenConfirm state
The BGP waits for KEEPALIVE packet and resets the KEEPALIVE timer. When
the BGP receives a KEEPALIVE packet, it enters Established state.
6. Established state
Neighborhood is set up already. Router exchanges Update packet with its
neighbor, and meanwhile, the KEEPALIVE timer is reset.
In initial, the exchanging of routing information includes all BGP routes, that is, all
entries in BGP routing table will be exchanged. After the initial exchanging is finished,
the incremental and burst routing update is launched only when the route entries are
changed or been unavailable. The meaning of the so-called incremental is that not the
entity BGP table will be exchanged but only update the changed route entries. The
burst means that update routes only when the routing table is changed rather than
periodically route updating.
When a router sends route information to its neighbor, it will save the route entries sent
to neighbor at local. When the router receives a route updating packet, it will compare
updating packet with the locally saved routing entries. If this entry is not sent before,
then the router will send it to its neighbor. If the entry is sent already and better, the
router will send the entry to its neighbor and update its locally saved routing entries.
Compared with the conventional periodical routing table updating, this updating mode
saves the bandwidth a lot. Route updating is achieved by UPDATE packets.
During the process above, if the BGP connection fails to be established because of
any connection failure, authentication failure and route loopback and so on, the router
will send NOTIFICATION packet to its peer that close BGP session will be closed.
Later, the router enters Idle state.
5.2 Configuring BGP

BGP Neighborhood Establishment
Two routers are called as peers or neighbors if BGP session is set up between them.
There are two connection modes of peers, IBGP and EBGP. If the two routers which
exchange BGP packets belong to the same AS, then these two routers adopt IBGP as

their connection mode. Otherwise, if the two routers belong to different ASs, then they
adopt EBGP as their connection mode.
As shown in Figure 5-2, S1 and S2 are EBGP neighbors, S2 and S3 are IBGP neighbors.
Figure 5-2 IBGP and EBGP
l Establishing EBGP Neighborhood

Make sure that the physical connection between two nodes is normal and the nodes
belong to different ASs before configure EBGP neighbor.
In most of EBGP cases, two routers are directly connected by physical interfaces.
Usually, use the IP addresses of the interconnected interfaces to set up BGP
connection, but also can use loopback addresses to set up BGP connection.
What draws special attention during the configuration is that multi-hop connection
has to be specified if do not use physical connection to set up EBGP connection.
That because the router sets the TTL value of BGP protocol packet as 1 by default.
Therefore, even if TCP connection is set up, OPEN packets still can not be sent to the
CPU of the peer. In this way, BGP connection can not enter Established state.
To establish EBGP neighborhood, perform the following steps.

l Establishing IBGP Neighborhood
Make sure that the physical connection between two nodes is normal and the nodes
belong to the same AS before configure IBGP neighbor.
IBGP is used to exchange BGP update packets in an AS and maintain the internal
connectivity.
BGP rules that an IBGP router can not send the routes received from another IBGP
router to the third IBGP router. This is the rule of Split-horizon. When a router receives
a update packet through EBGP, it will process and send the packet to all IGBP routers
and EBGP peers, but when a router receives update packet through IBGP, it will
process and send the packet through EBGP rather than send it to IBGP neighbors.

In step 4, NEXT_HOP is a BGP well-known mandatory attribute. It shows the IP

address of the next-hop to destination address. There are three kinds of conditions,
à If the advertising and receiving routers belong to different ASs, the next-hop is
the IP address of the interface of the advertising router.
à If the advertising and receiving routers belong to the same ASs, and the NLRI
destination address containing in updating message also belongs to the AS, the
next hop is the IP addressed of the neighbor of the advertised router.
à If the advertising and receiving routers are a pair of internal peers, and the NLRI
containing in updating message points to another AS, the next-hop is the IP
address of the external peer. The IP address has to be accessible, otherwise,
the advertised entry is invalid.
In step 5, the synchronization rule is that when an AS provides transition service for
another AS, after all the routers belonging to the AS receive the route through the
transmission of IGP route information, BGP can send the route to outside. When a
router receives a route updating message from IBGP, it will valid the synchronization
before forward the message to other EBGP peers. Once IGP routing table contains
the entry corresponding to the updating message, the router will forward the message
by EBGP. Otherwise, the router will not forward the message.
Synchronization rule is to ensure the connectivity in AS and prevent route blackhole.
However, in practical use, synchronization function is usually disabled, and IBGP full
meshed structure is adopted to ensure the connectivity in AS. Full-meshed structure
can avoid that lots of BGP routes are sent to IGP, which can quicken the speed of
router processing. Additionally, it ensures that the data packets are not lost. To disable
synchronization function, one of the following two conditions needs to be satisfied.
1. The AS at where routers locate only has one egress, or it is a stub AS. That is to
say, the AS only has one point to connect to external network.
2. The AS at where routers locate is a transition type (that is to say, an AS can
connect to the third AS through the AS), but all routers of the AS run BGP.
The second condition is common. Since all routers have BGP information in AS, IGP
only needs to transmit routing information for local AS.
Synchronization function is enabled on router by default. Use no synchronization to
cancel synchronization function.
As shown in Figure 5-5, S2 and S3 belong to the same AS. Set up IBGP connection
between S2 and S3 through Loopback addresses.

Configuring BGP Route Advertisement

l BGP Route Advertisement Rules
The routes to be advertised by BGP have to exist in IGP routing table already. The
source of BGP route updating is that inject IGP routing information to BGP. It has
an influence on the stability of Internet routes directly. There are two route injection
methods, dynamic injection and static injection.
Dynamic injection is divided into two types, full dynamic injection and selective
dynamic injection.
Full dynamic injection means that all IGP routes are redistributed (Redistribution) to
BGP. This method is very easy to configure but controllability is weak and low efficient.
Selective dynamic injection means that inject a part of IGP routes to BGP (use
network command). This method verifies address and mask first, which improves
controllability and efficiency. In this way, the error routing information can be avoided
to inject.
However, no matter which method is adopted, the routes will be unstable. That
because dynamic injection totally depends on IGP information. When route flapping
occurs on IGP routes, BGP route update will be affected. Lots of updating packets
are generated because of the unstable routes, and the bandwidth will be wasted
heavily. To make up this disadvantage, route dampening and aggregation can be
adopted on the border.
Static injection solves the unstable routes greatly. It injects static routes to BGP.
Static routes are added manually, so it is influenced by IGP route flapping. Therefore,
the repeated updating will be prevented by the stability. However, if the subnetwork
partition is not very clear, static injection also brings data flow blocking.
In conclusion, there are three BGP route advertisement methods.

à Use network command to advertise routes.
à Use redistribute command to redistribute the routes learned by other protocols
to BGP.
à Use BGP route aggregation to advertisement.
l Advertising Routes by network Command
The routes to be advertised by BGP have to exist in IGP routing table already.
The common method of BGP route advertisement is to select the network segment to
advertise by the network command. This command specifies the destination network
segment and mask, and then the routes which match with the rule accurately will enter
into BGP routing table. The routes will be filtered and advertised.

For example, use network 18.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 in BGP. The network segments 18.0.0.0/8,
18.1.0.0/16 and 18.2.0.0/24 are added to BGP routing table. If these network
segments and subnetworks do not exist in routing table, then no route is injected to
BGP routing table. In order to cooperate with BGP route advertisement, it is required
that configure some static routes pointing to loopback address on router.
It is notable that not all routes injected to BGP routing table can be advertised. It
relates to BGP route filtering or routing policy.
In BGP, use network command to advertise known network to router. The known
network can be learned by direct-connected route, static route and dynamic route.
The usage of network in BGP is different to that of in IGP.

router.

The routes are learnt from
the direct-connected route,
dynamic routing selection and
static route.
As shown in Figure 5-6, S2 runs OSPF as IGP protocol. S2 requires that advertise
the network segment 18.0.0.0/8 advertised by OSPF to BGP.

The default value is 100.
The field Path shows the origin of this route. Three types: IGP, EGP and incomplete.
Note:
à The symbol * indicates the route is available.
à The symbol > indicates the route is the optimized choice.
à The symbol i indicates the route is a IBGP route.
à The route without "i" indicates this is a EBGP route or local route.

The above example shows that the network segment 18.0.0.0/8 exists in BGP routing
table already. The next hop address is the interface 192.168.2.1 of S2.
l Redistributing Routes by redistribute Command
IGP needs to be configured on router already.
Full dynamic injection has to be chosen to advertise BGP routes when there are lots
of route entries and aggregation is not convenient.
When there are lots of route entries and aggregation is not convenient, use redistrib
ute command to redistribute one or more IGP protocol (RIP, OSPF and IS-IS) routes
to BGP.
Make sure that IGP does not redistribute the routes learnt by BGP to BGP again. Use
filter command to avoid loopback if it is necessary.
To redistribute routes on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#router bgp <as-number> This enters BGP route

configuration mode and
specifies AS number of
router.
2 ZXR10(config-bgp)#redistribute ospf-int <id>[metric | This redistributes the routes

route-map <map-tag>] learned by other routing
protocol to BGP routing table.
<protocol> The name of other protocols, connected, static and rip,

ospf-int and ospf-ext, isis-1, isis-2 and isis-1-2
<metric-value> Metric value of the redistributed routes. Use default value

if it is not specified. The range is 0-4294967295.
<map-tag> The name of route mapping of the redistributed route, the

length is 1-31 characters.
As shown in Figure 5-7, S2 runs OSPF as IGP protocol. It is required that redistribute
all OSPF routing information of S2 to BGP.

l Configuring Route Aggregation
To prevent route blackhole, aggregate the routes with the same mask on router in
route aggregation configuration.
BGP protocol aggregates the learnt routes to a route for advertisement. Thus, route
entries can be reduced a lot in routing table.
To configure route aggregation, perform the following steps.

router.
2 ZXR10(config-bgp)#aggregate-address <ip-address><n This creates an aggregated

et-mask>[count <count>][as-set][summary-only][strict][su policy in BGP routing table.

<ip-address> The aggregation network to be aggregated, in dotted

decimal notation
<net-mask> The aggregation mask to be generated, in dotted decimal

notation
<count> The number of sub-networks, the range is 0-255, and the

default value is 1.
as-set Set path information

strict According to RFC1771, only the routes which the attributes

of MED and NEXT_HOP are the same respecivetily can
be aggregated. If the command is used without strict, do
not consider MED and NEXT_HOP attributes.

As shown in Figure 5-8, S1 advertises the network segments 192.168.0.0/24,

192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24 to S2 belonging to AS300.
Run OSPF routing protocol between S1 and S3.

S1 learns four routes 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24

and 192.168.3.0/24 through IBGP, but it advertises the aggregated route
192.168.0.0/22 to S2 running EBGP only. If the command is used without the
parameter summary-only, S2 will advertise the aggregated route and the detailed
routes.
Use show ip bgp route on S2 to view the routing table.

After the aggregation, there is only one route in BGP routing table of S2 belonging
to AS300. It reduces the size of routing table.
If the command is used without summary-only, S2 will advertise the detailed routes
with the aggregated route.

In BGP routing table, there are four routes 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 and
192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24 except the aggregated route 192.168.0.0/22.
The parameter count <count> indicates the number of subnetworks which
are waiting to implement aggregation. <count> ranges from 0 to 255 and the
default value is 1, which means the number of subnetworks has to exist in
IGP. If the parameter is 0, that means advertise the route 192.168.0.0/22 when
any subnetwork of 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0 appears in IGP routes. If the
parameter is 1 or other value, the following command is required using to specify
the related subnetwork segment.
aggregate-address <ip-address><net-mask> subnet <subnet-address><subnet-mask>
The above command means that the routing information can be aggregated and
advertised only when the specified subnetwork routing information appears in IGP
routing table and the route number satisfies the defined count number.

When IGP ran by S1 confirms that the three routes 192.168.1.0/24,

192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24 exist in the routing table, it will send the
aggregated route 192.168.0.0/22 to S2.

For that moment, as long as these three routes 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24

and 192.168.3.0/24 are normal, S2 will send an aggregated route 192.168.0.0/22
to S1 no matter whether 192.168.0.0/22 normal or not. However, if any one
of these three routes is abnormal, S2 will not advertise the aggregated route
192.168.0.0/22.
Configuring BGP Route Attribute and Route Filtering

l The concept of BGP Attributes
BGP defines various attributes. each attribute has its own function, that is why BGP
is the most flexible route protocol with the best expansibility and high controllability.
BGP routING attribute is the core concept of BGP route protocol. It is a group of
parameters sent to the connected peer in UPDATE packets. These parameters
records BGP routing information for route selection and filter, which can be considered
as Metric.
Route attributes are divided into four types:
à Well-known mandatory attributes
à Well-known discretionary attributes

à Optional transitive attributes

à Optional nontransitive attributes
The attribute Well-known is identified by all BGP routers. Each UPDATE message
has to contain the attribute mandatory, but the attribute discretionary is optional.
For an optional attribute, it is not supported by all BGP routers. When BGP does not
support an attribute, if it is transitive, it will be accepted and sent to other BGP peers.
If this attribute is nontransitive, it willl be ignored and not sent to other peers.
RFC1771 defines No.1-7 BGP route attribute, as follows:
à No.1: ORIGIN
Route origin, that is the AS that generate this routing information.
à No.2: AS_PATH
AS path, that is the AS group or series which has been passed by route entry.
à No.3: NEXT-HOP
The next hop address. IBGP connection will not change NEXT-HOP sent by
EBGP.
à No.4: MULTI_EXIT_DISC
It is used to distinguish many exits to other ASs, which is used by local AS router.
à No.5: LOCAL-PREF
It is transmitted within the local AS, indicating the priority of each path.
à No.6: ATOMIC_AGGREGATOR
à No.7: AGGREGATOR
à No.8: RFC1997 defines another common attribute: COMMUNITY
Here, No.1, 2 and 3 attribute are well-known mandatory attributes. No.5 and 6 are
well-konwn discretionary attributes. No.7 and 8 are optional transitive attributes. No.4
is optional nontransitive attribute. They have different priorities, LOCAL-PREF has the
highest priority, and the second one is AS-PATH and ORIGIN.
For other attributes used by BGP, please refer to FRC documentation.
l Filtering Routes by Route Map

The bases of performing BGP are route filter and attribute configuration. By means
of route filter, the input or output route attributes can be controlled.
Route map is used to control routing information, which redistributes routes between
routing areas by defining rules. The route map usually cooperates with the route
attributes to decide route.
To filter routes by route map, perform the following steps.

When filtering route through route map, the match and set commands are usually used
together with route map. The match command defines the matching standard. The
set command defines the action satisfying matching standard.
Use the neighbor 182.17.20.1 send-med command to send MED attribute with
advertising routes to neighbor 182.17.20.1.
To view BGP routing table on S2, use the show ip bgp route command.
*>172.3.0.0/16 182.17.20.2 5 20 100 i

The above result shows that S2 learns the route from 172.3.0.0/16 only, and its MED
value is 5.
l Filtering Routes by Using NLRI

To restrict a router to receive or advertise routing information, filter the route updating
packets from or send to a special device. The filter includes a update list sent to
neighbor, or a list coming from neighbor.
To configure NLRI to filter route, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#route-map <map-tag>[permit | This defines a route-map.

2 ZXR10(config)#ipv4-access-list { name <acl-name>} This enters standard ACL

specifies ACL sequence

As shown in Figure 5-10, S1 and S2 are a pair of IBGP peers, S1 and S3 are a pair
of EBGP peers, S2 and S4 are a pair of EBGP peers, S2 and S4 are a pair of EBGP
peers. To avoid AS100 to act as transitive AS and prevent S1 from advertising network
segment 192.18.10.0/24 of AS300 to AS200, configure filter function on S1.
Figure 5-10 Filtering Route by Using NLRI
Configuration on S1(The following content omits configuration of port and IGP):

S1(config-bgp)#neighbor 182.17.20.1 route-map MAP1 out
S1(config-bgp)#exit
S1(config)#route-map MAP1 permit 10
S1(config-ipv4-acl)#rule 1 deny 192.18.10.0 0.0.0.255
The route-map command and ACL are used to prevent S1 from advertising the route
with prefix 192.18.10.0/24 to AS200, that is, this route is filtered on S1. Therefore, S3
can not learn the route 192.18.10.0/24.
To view BGP routing table on S3, use the show ip bgp route command.

l Restricting the Number of Route Advertisements Received by Neighbor
To restrict the number of route received by a neighbor, perform the following steps.

router.
2 ZXR10(config-bgp)#neighbor <ip-address> This configures the number of

maximum-prefix <value>[<threshold-value>| route received by a neighbor.
drop-routes | restart <time>| warning-only]
<ip-address> Neighbor IP address, in dotted decimal notation
<value> The maximum number of routes received by a neighbor,

the range is 1-4294967295, and the default value is
4294967295
<threshold-value> Generate an alarm when the number of the received

routes reaches to the threshold value, the unit is %.
drop-routes Drop the routes when the number of the received routes
exceeds the threshold value
<time> The connection will be disconnected when the number of

the received routes exceeds the threshold value, and set
up neighborhood after waiting a specified time. The unit is
minute, the range is 1-30000
warning-only Print the alarm when the number of the received routes
exceeds the threshold value
As shown in Figure 5-11, S1 can receive 10 routes advertised by S2 at most, and it will
drop routes if more than 10 routes are received. S2 can receive 20 routes advertised
by S1, and neighborhood will be disconnected and set up again after 10 minutes if
more than 20 routes advertised by S1.

l Filtering Routes by Using AS_PATH
AS-PATH is a well-known mandatory attribute. The attribute is a path filed, which is
composed of a series of AS numbers passing by a route pointing to one destination.
When the origin AS initiates a route to other external BGP peers, it will add its AS
number into the route. Subsequently, each route receiver will add its AS number into
route and place AS number on the head of AS sequence when sending the route to
other BGP peers.
BGP adopts AS-PATH as the factor of its route update to realize no-loop topology
of Internet. Each route contains a list with all passed AS numbers. When the route
is advertised to its origin AS, AS examines its AS number has been existed in AS
sequence, and it will not accept this route. Meanwhile, AS-PATH will be used for
deciding the optimum route. When multiple routes (their attributes except for AS-PATH
are the same) to the same destination are available, BGP will select a route with
the shortest path as the optimum route according to AS-PATH. Therefore, increasing
AS-PATH can affect BGP route selection.
When all routes of one or multiple AS require filtering, the filter method based on
AS-PATH is usually adopted.

AS 500 realizes that there are 6 ASs passing by the route from AS 400 to AS 100, and
3 ASs passing by the route if it is from AS 300 to AS 100. Therefore, BGP will select
the routing that passes the less ASs if other priorities are the default settings. That is,
the routing that is from AS 300 to AS 100 satisfies the configuration requirement.
l Selecting Routes by Using LOCAL_PREF
Local_PREF is a well-known discretionary attribute. The default value is 100.
When a BGP router broadcasts routes to other BGP routers in the same AS, this
attribute shall be used. The value of attribute has influence on the path priority directly.
The route with the highest priority will be chosen as the optimum path. This attribute
also affects the local outbound traffic, and it is only used for local AS, that is, other
ASs will not affected by this attribute. Local-PREF is only exchanged between IBGP
neighbors, and it will not be advertised to EBGP neighbors.

number, name or alias.


ZXR10(config-route-map)#set local-preference This specifies priority value

Modify the Local_Pref value of S3 to specify an egress for the service. In this example,
the traffic going to 10.0.0.0/24 of AS300 are forwarded by S1 preferably. Therefore,
the route coming from S1 has higher Local_Pref value.
l Selecting Route by Using MED
MED is an optional nontransitive attribute. MED is used to affect the inbound service
flow. When there are many ingress in an AS, the one with the smallest MED will be
the ingress for external neighbor router entering AS. The default MED value is 0.

l Configuring BGP Community String Attributes
The community string attributes are optional transitive attributes. The community is a
group of destination routes with one or more common features. It has 4 bytes, the first
2 bytes are AS number and the last 2 bytes are identifier. When aggregate community
routes, the aggregated route inherits all the community attributes from all routes.
The definitions of several well-known community attributes are given as follows:
à no-export: Advertisement to EBGP neighbors is disabled.
à no-advertise: Advertisement to any BGP neighbors is disabled.

à no-export-subconfed: Forbid to advertise the route with this attribute to
confederation outside.
à local-AS: Advertise the route with this attribute to BGP neighbor routers in AS.
à Internet: Advertise the route with this attribute to all other routers.

BGP select the route with higher Local_Pref value preferably. In this example, the
route from AS400 to 10.0.3.0/24 is selected.
BGP Configuration for Large-scale Network

Neighborhood must be established between every two BGP routers in the same AS to
form full interconnection. In this way, with the increasing of the number of IBGP routers,
the number of neighbors will increment by n (n-1)/2 (n is the number of IBGP routers).
To reduce the work load of maintenance and configuration, use route reflector and
confederation.
l Configuring BGP Route Reflector
IBGP routers are not fully connected in an AS, and every IBGP router has more than
100 BGP sessions.
For an AS of a large-scale network, select a IBGP router to be a Route Reflector (RR),
and all other IBGP routers serve as clients. Each client only establishes neighborhood
with RR and then multiple RRs establish neighborhood with each other. All clients
reflect routes through the RR. In this way, the number of neighbors is reduced to n-1.
The clients stand for that IBGP neighbors which set up full interconnection with the
RR. The clients form a group. IBGP neighbors of the RR whom do not belong to the
group are non-clients.
When a route is received by RR, it will be reflected according to the different peer
types.

à If the update message is sent by an EBGP neighbor, then advertise it to all clients
and non-clients.
à If the update message is sent by a non-client, then advertise it to clients.
à If the update message is sent by a RRC, then advertise it to all clients and
non-clients except the originator of this update message.
When multiple RRs are available in an AS, divide many RRs belonging to the same
AS to a cluster. An AS can have many clusters, and a cluster has one RR at least.
Note that RR is recommended to use only when every router holds more than 100
BGP sessions in an AS.
To configure BGP RR, perform the following steps.

router.
2 ZXR10(config-bgp)#bgp cluster-id {<value>|<ip-add This configures the cluster ID

By default, router-ID is the
cluster ID.
3 ZXR10(config-bgp)#neighbor [<ipv4-address>|<peer-gr This sets a neighbor or

As shown in Figure 5-16, S1, S2 and S3 are IBGP neighbors but they are not fully
connected. Configure a router reflector to make S3 forward the routes received by an
IBGP neighbor to another IBGP neighbor. Considering IBGP neighbors are not fully
interconnected in AS600, configure router reflector to avoid full interconnection.

l Configuring BGP Confederation
The function of route confederation is the same to that of RR. The route confederation
is used to reduce the number of BGP neighbor connections in an AS. Route
confederation divides an AS into many sub-ASs, and the IBGP routers in the AS
belong to different sub-ASs. IBGP is established inside each sub-AS, and EBGP is
established among sub-ASs. Sub-ASs are invisible to the external AS.
To configure BGP Confederation, perform the following steps.

The output above shows that there is a route pointing to AS500 on R4.
A larger AS is divided into some smaller ASs, and these samller ASs are connected
by EBGP. Each AS acts as an independent BGP AS to run IBGP.
A complete AS only runs an IGP protocol, and every sub-AS has IGP routing
information of all other sub-ASs.

BGP provides a mechanism called Route Dampening to reduce the network

instability caused by route flapping. Since the update and cancellation messages
are transmitted in network continually when route flapping occurs, the bandwidth and
router processing resource are used a lot.
The principle of BGP route dampening is that allocate a penalty of 1000 to route
whenever the route flapping occurs. When the penalty reaches to a suppress-limit, the
advertisement of the route will be suppressed. The penalty decreases geometrically
after passing every half-life-time. When the penalty reduces to the reuse-limit, the
route advertisement dampening will be cancelled.
The following values are used by BGP route dampening.
à Half-life-time: Ranging from 1 to 45 minutes (The default value is 15 minutes)
à Reuse-value: Ranging from 1 to 20000 (The default value is 750)
à Suppress-value: Ranging from 1 to 20000 (The default value is 2000)

à Max-suppress-time: Ranging from 1 to 255 (The default value is four times of the
value of half-life-time)
To configure BGP route dampening, perform the following steps.

router.

><suppress><max-suppress-time>| route-map <map-tag>] dampening and modifies the

<suppress> Route suppress value, the range is 1-20000, and the

default value is 2000
<max-suppress-time> The maximum suppress time, the range is 1-255, the

default value is 60, and the unit is minute

5.3 Maintaining BGP

If a BGP routing fault occurs, use debugging commands to locate and remove the fault.
The following show commands are the frequently used ones. They can be used to check
the current status of a BGP neighbor and the BGP routing information learned by a router.
To maintain BGP, use the following commands.
Command Function
ZXR10#show ip bgp protocol Displays the configuration of the

local BGP module.
ZXR10#.show ip bgp neighbor Displays an adjacent BGP

neighbor and the corresponding
status.
ZXR10#show ip bgp route [network <ip-address>[mask Displays entries in a BGP routing

<net-mask>]] table.
ZXR10#show ip bgp summary Displays the status of all BGP

neighbor connections.
The following is sample output from the show ip bgp protocol command:

S4 and S1 establish an EBGP neighborhood, S1 and S2 establish an IBGP neighborhood,

S2 and S5 establish multi-hops EBGP neighborhood, see Figure 5-19. Assume that four
static routes exist on S4.
S4 only advertises the network segment 192.16.0.0/16 by aggregation, and it uses a route
map to forbid BGP to advertise network segment 170.16.10.0/24. S2 and S5 establish an
EBGP multi-hop connection through S3. Ensure that the addresses used by two routers
(S2 and S5) to establish neighborhood can be pinged mutually.

5.4.4 BGP Route Reflector Configuration Example

A BGP route reflector is used to advertise routes between clients, between a client and
a non-client, and between a client and an EBGP. For the procedure of advertising routes
among clients, see Figure 5-21.
Figure 5-21 BGP Route Reflector Configuration Example

1. Establish IBGP neighbor relations among S1, S2, and S3.
2. Configure S2 as the RR, and set S1 and S3 as clients of S2.
3. Redistribute a route on S1 and advertise it to S2.
4. S2 reflects this route to S3.
Run the following commands on S1 (the configuration of the interface address is omitted):
S1(config-bgp)#redistribute connected /*Redistribute a directly connected route
for ease of verifying a route*/

5.4.5 BGP and VRRP Linkage Configuration Example

Configure the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) on a downlink interface. The
virtual address is used as the gateway for accessed devices. The uplink interfaces are
connected through the BGP (IBGP, EBGP, MP-IBGP, and MP-EBGP), see Figure 5-22.
To guarantee that the uplink and downlink traffic are the same, the VRRP BGP route from
which master packets are sent must be set as the optimized route.

1. Establish BGP relations between S1 and S3, and between S2 and S3.
2. Check active and standby routers status when S1 and S2 operate as VRRPs.
3. Configure a track samgr object in BGP mode.
Note:
For how to establish BGP neighbor relations between S1 and S3, and between S2 and
S3, refer to the BGP Configuration Example.
For how to check active and standby routers status when S1 and S2 operate as
VRRPs, refer to the VRRP Confguration section in the ZXR10 8900E (V3.01.01)
Series Core Switch Configuration Guide Configuration Guide (Reliability).
Run the following commands on S1
S1(config)#interface gei-0/1/1/1
S1(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#no shutdown
S1(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#ip address 13.13.13.1 255.255.255.0
/*Configure the VRRP interfaces in VRRP mode.

1.1 IP Address Overview

Internet Protocol (IP) address is an unique 32 bit identifies, which is allocated to the host
or router indirectly connecting to Internet. IP address is graduated. An IP address is
composed of network ID (the first grade) and host ID (the second grade) that is convenient
for people to manage IP addresses. IP address is used to help people do addressing in
Internet.
IP addresses are divided into five classes: A, B and C, D and E. Among class A, B and
C addresses, some addresses are reserved for private networks. This is recommended
that private network addresses must be used for establishing internal networks. These
addresses refer to:
l Class A: 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
l Class B: 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
l Class C: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
Address division is originally intended to facilitate design of routing protocols, so that

header feature bit of an IP address is enough for judging type of a network. However,
classification method restricts utilization of address space to greatest extent. With rapid
expansion of Internet, problem of insufficient addresses becomes more and more serious.
To utilize IP addresses to greater extent, a network can be divided into multiple subnets.
The "bit borrowing" mode can be used: highest bits of host bits are borrowed to serve
as subnet bits and left host bits still serve as host bits. Thus structure of an IP address
consists of three parts: Network bits, subnet bits and host bits.
Network bits and subnet bits are used to uniquely identify a network. Use subnet mask to
find which part in IP address indicates network bits and subnet bits, which part stands for
host bits. The part with subnet mask of "1" corresponds to network bits and subnet bits of
IP address, while the part with subnet mask of "0" corresponds to host bits.
Division of subnets greatly improves utilization of IP addresses, which relieves the problem
of insufficient IP addresses to some extent.
Regulations on IP addresses are shown below.

l (0.0.0.0) is used when a host without an IP address is started. Reverse Address

Resolution Protocol (RARP), BOOTstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are used to obtain IP address. The address serves
as default route in routing table.
l 255.255.255.255 is a destination address used for broadcast and cannot serve as a
source address.
l 127. X.X.X is called loopback address. Even if actual IP address of host is unknown,
address still can be used to stand for the "local host".
l Only IP addresses with host bits being all "0" indicate network itself. An IP address
with host bits being all "1" serves as broadcast address of the network.
l For a legal host IP address, the network part or the host part must not be all "0" or all
"1".
1.2 Configuring IP Address

To configure IP address on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
ZXR10(config)#interface < interface-name> This enters layer 3 vlan

1
interface configuration mode.
ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ip address This configures IP address.

2
<ip-address><net-mask>[<broadcast-address>| secondary]
Descriptions of the parameters are shown below.
<ip-address> IP address, in decimal dotted notation
<net-mask> IP subnetwork mask, in decimal dotted notation
<broadcast-address> The broadcast address connecting to the interface, in decimal

dotted notation
secondary Interface secondary address
1.3 Maintaining IP Address

People can use the following command to locate and solve fault when the fault occurs in
IP address. The common-used command is show.
Command Function
ZXR10#show ip interface [ brief [ phy This shows the information of the IP address
|<interface-name >|[{ exclude | include}<line>]]] configured in the current interface.
Descriptions of the parameters are shown below.

Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255
IP MTU 1500 bytes
AdminStatus is up It indicates whether the administrator state of interface is

available. The up represents that the administrator state is
available while the down represents that the administrator
state is unavailable.
PhyStatus is down It indicates whether the physical state of interface is available.

The up represents that the physical state is available while
the down represents that the physical state is unavailable.
line protocol is up It indicates whether the link layer protocol is available. The
up represents that the alink layer protocol state is available
while the down represents that the link layer protocol state
is unavailable.
Internet address IP address of interface. An interface can have many IP

addresses.
Broadcast address Broadcast address. It is decided by IP address. The default

value is 255.255.255.255
IP MTU MTU value of IP packet
1.4 IP Address Configuration Example

As shown in Figure 1-1, the interfaces gei-0/1/1/1 of S1 and gei-0/1/1/2 of S2 connect each
other directly. It is required that S1 and S2 can ping each other successfully.

2.1 ICMP Response

ICMP Fast Response Overview
The fast response function of ICMP is comparative to ICMP slow response. Fast ICMP
response function reduces time delay and decreases delay jitter, which increases network
delay stand-reaching rate.
ICMP Response Configuration Example

As shown in Figure 2-1, the interface gei-0/1/1/1 of S1 connects to gei-0/1/1/2 of S2

directly. ICMP response (ping) is required between S1 and S2.
Figure 2-1 ICMP Response Configuration Example Topology
1. Configure IP addresses of S1 and S2 interfaces.
2. Test configuration result to make sure that ICMP response (ping) is realized
between S1 and S2.

2.2 Clearing Static Data

User needs to view the current statistic data sometimes, therefore, it is necessary to clear
the history statistic data on interface. To clear the statistic data on ZXR10 5900E, use the
following command.
Command Function
ZXR10#clear statistics interface This clears the performance value

which is continuously accumulated on
an interface (if not specified, it means
all interfaces).
2.3 Configuring IP Source Route Options

Switch has software to inspect the IP packet header option of each packet. Currently, the
following packet header options are supported, Strict Source Route, and Loose Source
Route. Router will perform the corresponding operation if the software finds any packet
header option is available. When a packet containing invalid option is received, router
will send a ICMP invalid parameter packet to the packet's source address and discard the
packet.

The source host specifies a path called source path by IP network. Software forwards the
packets according to the specified source path. This function is required when a packet
has to be transmitted by using the specified path. By default, source route processing is
executed.
To configure IP source route options on ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands.
Command Function
ZXR10(config)#ip source-route This makes the switch process the data

packets containing IP source route
options.
ZXR10(config)#no ip source-route This configures to discard the data

packets containing IP source route
options.
2.4 Enabling the ICMP Redirection Packet Function

If the redirection packet function is enabled on a switch interface, the switch can send a
redirection packet to notify the host of a better next hop address, so the host can locate a
better next hop switch. The switch can also notify the host through the redirection packet
that the destination address is a neighbor node.
To enable or disable sending ICMP redirection packets on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the
following steps:
ZXR10(config)#icmp-config Enters ICMP configuration

1
mode.
ZXR10(config-icmp)#interface<interface-name> Enters ICMP interface

2
configuration mode.
ZXR10(config-icmp-if)#ip redirect Enables the switch to send

3
ICMP redirection packets.
ZXR10(config-icmp-if)#no ip redirect Disables the ICMP redirection

4
packet function.
Example
The following example shows how to enable the ICMP redirection packet function on
interface vlan50:
ZXR10(config)#icmp-config
ZXR10(config-icmp)#interface vlan50
ZXR10(config-icmp-if)#ip redirect

IP MTU Configuration

3.1 IP MTU Overview

Both Ethernet and 802.3 have a restriction in the data frame length, which the maximum
values are 1500 bytes and 1476 bytes respectively. This feature is called IP Maximum
Transmission Unit (MTU). Most of networks have their own restriction.
When a data packet is transmitted in IP layer but its length is more than MTU, IP layer
will do fragmentation. That is to say, the data packet is divided into many fragments, and
every fragment is smaller than IP MTU.
IP MTU values are different in the different networks. In order to avoid fragmentation and
improve network performance, use ip mtu command to modify the size of IP MTU.
In order to get higher transmission efficiency in network layer, the data packets which
containing byte values are less than the restricted values are not sent. Therefore, the
restricted value indicates the data packet size.
An important problem is that the larger the IP MTU value is set, the more packets are
saved in cache. Thus, the client sends packets with lower rate that causes the time delay
for sending packets is bigger.
Another problem is that when a large packet is transmitted from a PC to another PC, it will
pass through many network connections which have smaller IP MTU values. In this way,
the large packet will be disassembled, sent and reassembled. The packet transmission
time is increased a lot.
However, IP MTU value cannot be set too small because each packet has a 40 bytes
header containing important control information. The header occupies lots of available
bandwidth if IP MTU value is smaller. For example, a good working 56k modem can upload
data at 4200bytes/second. If IP MTU value is set to 90 bytes, and the header occupies 40
bytes (44% of the size of the whole data packet). The utilization rate of bandwidth is very
low because 44% of 4200 (1428 bytes) bytes are used to transmit the header, only 2772
bytes are used to transmit user data. Therefore, it is necessary to configure an appropriate
IP MTU value.

3.2 Configuring IP MTU

To configure IP MTU value on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
ZXR10(config)#interface {<interface-name>| byname This enters interface mode of

1
<byname>} the interface to be configured.
ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ip mtu <bytes> This configures IP MTU value

2
of the interface.
Description of the parameter used by step 2 is shown below.
<bytes> IP MTU value of the interface. The unit is byte.

In Ethernet port, the value of IP MTU equals to 68-9202. The
default value is 1500.
3.3 Maintaining IP MTU

When IP MTU problem occurs in interfaces, people can use command to locate and solve
fault. Here, the most common-used command is show. To view IP MTU value of interface,
use the following command.
Command Function
ZXR10# show ip interface <interface-name> Displays the IP MTU value of the

interface.
For example: to view the IP MTU value of the vlan100 interface, run the following
command:
ZXR10(config-if-vlan100)#show ip interface vlan100
gre_tunnel1 AdminStatus is up, PhyStatus is up, line protocol is down
IP MTU 1000 bytes
Show Command Output Description
IP MTU 1000 bytes The IP MTU value of interface VLAN100 is 1000bytes.

3.4 IP MTU Configuration Example

This example describes how to control the maximum packet length of forwarding flow by
setting IP MTU value. As shown in Figure 3-1, the interface gei-0/1/1/4 of S1 connects to
gei-0/1/1/1 of S2. gei-0/1/1/4 on S1 and gei-0/1/1/1 on S2 are for VLAN100 and VLAN200
respectively. The L2 packet can be forwarded properly if the length of packet is less than
the MTU value preset in gei-0/1/1/4. Otherwise, the packet will be discarded directly.
Figure 3-1 MTU Configuration Example Topology
Configuration Flow
1. Enter interface configuration mode.
2. Configure IP MTU value of the interface.
S1 configuration,
S1(config-if-vlan100)#ip mtu 1300
Verification
Run the following command to verify the IP MTU value of the interface for VLAN100:
S1(config-if-vlan100)#show running-config-interface vlan100
!<INTERFACE>
interface vlan100
ip mtu 1300
$
!</INTERFACE>
As shown above, the IP MTU value of the interface for VLAN100 is 1300 bytes.

DHCP Configuration
The predecessor of DHCP BOOTP. BOOTP is applied for the network connecting to a
diskless PC. The PC connects to the network by using BOOTROM (the client), not starting
from a disk. BOOTP (the server) can establish TCP/IP environment automatically.
DHCP is the enhanced version of BOOTP. It has two parts, one is the server, and another is
the client. The DHCP service manages all the IP network configuration data in a centralized
way and processes DHCP requests coming from the client. The client uses the IP data
allocated by the server.
DHCP uses UDP as the transmission protocol. The host sends a message to port 67 of
the DHCP server, and the DHCP server replies a message to port 68 of the host. The
DHCP works in the following steps:
1. The host sends a broadcast packet DHCP Discover to request IP address and other
configuration parameters.
2. The DHCP server returns a unicast/broadcast DHCP Offer packet that contains a valid
IP address and the configurations.
3. The host selects the server that receives the DHCP Offer first, and then sends
a broadcast packet DHCP Request to the server, indicating that the related
configurations are accepted.
4. The selected DHCP server returns a unicast/broadcast DHCP Ack packet.
By now the host can use the IP address and configurations obtained from the DHCP server
for communication.
The IP addresses allocated by the DHCP server to the host fall into the following three
forms:
1. The administrator allocates an IP address to a specific host.
2. An IP address is allocated to a host randomly and permanently.
3. An IP address is allocated to a host for a certain period randomly.
Usually the third method is used. The valid time segment is called lease period. Once the
lease period expires, the host must request the server for renewing the lease. The host
cannot renew the lease until the server accepts the request. Otherwise, the host must give
up unconditionally.
A router does not forward the received broadcast packet from a subnet to another by
default. However, the router acting as the default gateway of the user host must send the
broadcast packet to the subnet where the DHCP server is located if the DHCP server and
the user host are not in the same subnet. This function is called DHCP relay.
ZXR10 5900E can act as a DHCP server or DHCP relay to forward DHCP information.

4.1 DHCP Server Configuration

4.1.1 DHCP Server Overview
DHCP server is responsible for allocating IP address and initialization configuration data
to DHCP client.
DHCP server is driven by DHCP client. It gives the corresponding response according to
the request packets coming from DHCP client.
DHCP server allocates a free IP address from IP address pool and obtains the parameters
requested by DHCP client after receiving DHCP Discover packet. It makes a DHCP Offer
packet to reply DHCP client.
When the DHCP Server receives the DHCP Request packet, if a valid IP address and the
configurations can be allocated to a user, the server returns the DHCP Ack packet as a
reply, and then the DHCP Client obtains the IP address and the configurations. Otherwise,
the server returns the DHCP NAK packet as a reply. The DHCP Client repeats the DHCP
process again automatically.
When DHCP server receives a DHCP Release packet, it will cancel the binding between
the IP address and the DHCP client, and reclaim the IP address for next allocation.
When DHCP server receives a DHCP Decline packet, it will disable the client IP address
and not allocate this IP address to other.
4.1.2 Configuring a DHCP Server

To configure a DHCP server on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
ZXR10(config)#dhcp Enters DHCP configuration

1
mode.
ZXR10(config-dhcp)#enable Enables the embedded DHCP

2
process.
ZXR10(config-dhcp)#max-hops <1-16> Configures the maximum

3
number of hops for DHCP.

As shown in Figure 4-1, S1 acts as both DHCP server and the default gateway. PC obtains
IP address dynamically by DHCP.
Figure 4-1 DHCP Server Configuration Example Topology
l In global configuration mode, configure IP Pool, DHCP Pool, DHCP Policy on S1, and
enable DHCP function.
l In interface configuration mode, configure IP address and DHCP server mode and
bind DHCP Policy on S1.
Configuration Flow
1. Configure IP pool. The range of address pool needs to be configured in a network
segment.
2. Configure DHCP Pool. DHCP Pool needs to bind with IP Pool and configures DNS,
lease-time, and default router.
3. Configure DHCP Policy. DHCP Policy is a policy option. Many priorities are supported
by a name for policy management.
4. Configure DHCP Server. Configure Server functional mode in DHCP interface mode
and bind the policy.
5. Enable DHCP globally.

4.2 DHCP Relay Configuration

4.2.1 DHCP Relay Overview
The main functions of DHCP Relay module include:
l Realizes the transparent interaction between DHCP Client and DHCP Server.
l Allocates and manages dynamic addresses of DHCP Client.
For DHCP Client, DHCP Relay Agent acts as a DHCP Server while for DHCP Server,
DHCP Relay Agent acts as a DHCP Client. Therefore, DHCP Relay Agent needs to
capture and process DHCP protocol network packets coming from both DHCP Client and
DHCP Server. It remakes the message protocol packets according to the requirements of
Relay Agent protocol, fills the data option field of Relay Agent into packets, and performs
the transforming of DHCP protocol network packets between the Client and Server.
When a DHCP user tries to obtain an address, the DHCP request packet is sent in
broadcast mode, which cannot be transmitted to multiple subnets. To send the packet to
multiple subnets, a DHCP Relay is required. The DHCP Relay can be a router or a host.
In generally, UDP packets whose UDP destination ports are 67 sent between all devices
that provide the DHCP Relay function need special processing. Therefore, the DHCP
Relay needs to monitor all packets whose UDP destination port number is 67.
When DHCP Relay receives a packet which UDP destination port number is 67, it will judge
whether the packet is user's request packet. If this port number exceeds the configured
value, this packet will be dropped.
If the hop value is in the ruled region, and DHCP Relay decides to transmit this packet, it
will inspect the value of "Relay Agent" field. There are two conditions,
l The value of "Relay Agent" field is 0.
DHCP Relay fills the IP address of the port which receives the request packet in the
"Relay Agent" field. If this port has many IP addresses, DHCP Relay will select an IP
address and continue to use this IP address to transmit all DHCP packets.
l The value of "Relay Agent" field is not 0.

The value of this field cannot be modified, and broadcast address cannot be filled in.
Under both of the conditions described above, the packets are transmitted to a new
destination (or DHCP Server) in unicast. Obviously, the new destination address is
configurable. In this way, DHCP packets can pass through many sub-networks.
When DHCP Relay finds a responding packet coming from DHCP Server, it inspects the
"Relay Agent", "Client hardware address" fields and so on. These fields provide enough
informations to DHCP Relay for transmitting responding packet to client PC.

The value of "Relay Agent" field (non-zero) is often used to identify a logical port for
transmitting responding packets. The responding packet will be discarded if the value
cannot match any logical port directly connecting to DHCP Relay.
Meanwhile, DHCP Relay inspects the value of broadcast identifier bit containing in "flag"
field. If the value is 1, it will broadcast the encapsulated packet. Otherwise, the packet will
be encapsulated and transmitted to DHCP Client in unicast way.
The message interaction procedure is shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 DHCP Message Interaction
1. When a DHCP client begins DHCP initialization, it broadcasts a configuration Request

message on the local network.
2. If there is a DHCP server on the local network, DHCP configuration can be performed
without a DHCP relay.
3. If there is no DHCP server on the local network, when a network device with DHCP
relay function connecting to the local network receives the broadcast message, it
handles the message and then forwards the message to a DHCP server on other
networks.
4. The DHCP server performs the configuration according to the information provided by
the DHCP client, and then sends the configuration information to the client through the
DHCP relay. Dynamic configuration of the DHCP client is completed.
In fact, from the begin to the end, there are several interaction procedures such like this.
The DHCP relay modifies the related fields in the DHCP message to modify the DHCP
broadcast message to a unicast message. It is responsible for the conversion between
the server and the client.

4.2.4 DHCP Relay Configuration Example

When DHCP client and server do not belong to the same network, a router connecting
directly to user side needs to act as DHCP Relay.
As shown in Figure 4-3, DHCP Relay function is enabled on S1, a single server (IP address
is 10.10.2.2) acts as DHCP server on S2. This method is usually adopted when many PCs
require DHCP service.

Configuration Flow
1. A route has to be required between the DHCP Server and the Relay interface (Global
static route can be used for testing).
2. For the configuration of server, see DHCP Server Configuration. In policy configura-
tion, Relay Agent is the IP address of Relay interface.
3. For Relay configuration, the parameters need to be configured in DHCP interface. IP
addresses of Relay interface and IP Pool corresponding to DHCP Server need to be
in the same network segment.
4. DHCP Relay configuration:
l Configure Relay mode.
l Enable Relay function in DHCP interface mode, configure Relay Agent to be the
IP address of Relay interface and configure Relay Server to be the IP address
of configured DHCP server. Make sure that the IP addresses of DHCP Server
interface and Relay interface are not in the same network segment but the IP
addresses of the allocated IP pool and Relay interface are in the same network
segment.

4.3 DHCP Proxy Configuration

4.3.1 DHCP Proxy Overview
DHCP Proxy Overview
The DHCP proxy function is an extension based on the DHCP relay function. The
processing of the DHCP proxy function is more complex than that of the DHCP relay
function. A DHCP proxy needs to directly respond renewal requests from users. Seen
from a client, the DHCP proxy operates as a server. However, the DHCP proxy also
operates as a client at the specified time to send renewal requests to the server.
A short lease must be configured for the DHCP proxy. This short lease is shorter than
that configured for the DHCP server. The time-out interval of the binding state timer for
the DHCP proxy is shorter than that for the DHCP server, so the DHCP proxy can fast
detect user disconnection and notify the DHCP server to release IP addresses as soon
as possible. In case of a large number of renewal requests from users, the DHCP proxy
reduces the load of the DHCP server.
DHCP Proxy Characteristics

If the DHCP proxy function is configured, on a DHCP relay, there are two different leases
for each user. The lease between the relay and the server is the long lease (L1), and the

lease between the client and the relay is the short lease (L2). After receiving a response,
the server replaces L1 in the Lease Time field with L2 and sends packets to the client.
Therefore, the client uses the short lease, and the renew time and rebinding time
calculated based on the short lease.
If the client has retrieved an IP address, the DHCP relay proxy sets the state of the user
to BOUND, and sets the time-out interval of the state timer to L2. If the DHCP relay proxy
receives no request from the client when the timer expires, it is considered that the user
is disconnected. The DHCP relay proxy releases the data area of the user, and replaces
the client to send a DHCP Release message to the server, so that the server releases
the IP address of the user. The time-out interval of the binding state timer for the proxy is
shorter than that for the server, so the proxy can fast detect user disconnection and notify
the server to release the IP address as soon as possible.
The renewal interval and rebinding interval of the client are shorter than those returned
from the server, so the time when the client sends a renewal request or rebinding request
is earlier than the preset time, and requests are sent more frequently. To prevent the server
from being too busy due to frequent requests from the client, the proxy can use selectivity
determination.
When the DHCP relay proxy receives a renewal request from the client, if the state of the
user is BOUND, the proxy returns L2 to the client and resets the state timer. If the user
is in another state, the proxy returns no response. The proxy needs to check whether the
actual renewal time (calculated based on L1) of the client arrives. If yes, the proxy sends
a request to the server by using L1. If the server returns a DHCP ACK message, the L1
of the proxy is updated. If the server returns a DHCP NAK message, the data area of the
user is released.

4.3.4 DHCP Proxy Configuration Example

If the DHCP client and the DHCP server are not in the same network, the router directly
connected to the client needs to operate as the DHCP proxy.
As shown in Figure 4-4, the DHCP proxy function is enabled. The independent server
whose IP address is 10.10.2.2 operates as the DHCP server.
Figure 4-4 DHCP Proxy Configuration Topology
On the interfaces of S1, the IP addresses, DHCP server address, and DHCP proxy mode
need to be configured. On the interfaces of S2, the IP addresses, and DHCP server mode
need to be configured, and a DHCP policy needs to be bound. On S2, DHCP needs to be
enabled. An IP pool, DHCP pool, DHCP policy, and route to the network segment of the
proxy interface on S1 need to be configured.
Configuration Flow
1. Configure proxy parameters on the DHCP interfaces. The IP address of the proxy
interface must be in the same network segment as the addresses in the IP pool
corresponding to the server.
2. Configure the proxy mode, and set the relay agent to the address of the proxy interface.
The relay server is set to the address of the server. The address of the server interface
and the address of the proxy interface are in different network segments. The address
of the proxy interface is in the same network segment as the addresses in the IP pool.
3. On the server, configure a route to the proxy interface.
4. Set the relay agent to the proxy interface when configuring a policy.

4.4 DHCP Snooping Configuration

4.4.1 DHCP Snooping Overview
Introduction to DHCP Snooping
DHCP is a Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standard that simplifies the
management of host IP address configuration. It provides an effective method for DHCP
server use, that is, it manages the dynamic assignment of IP addresses to clients on the
network and other related configuration information of DHCP clients on the network. By
installing and configuring a DHCP server on the network, DHCP clients can be used, and
the DHCP clients can obtain the IP addresses related parameter values that are needed
to get online when the DHCP clients joins the network. This reduces the configuration
management, and provides secure and reliable configuration.
However, with the wide applications of DHCP service, some problems appear.
l First, it is allowed to be several DHCP servers on a subnet, which means that
administrators cannot ensure that the IP addresses of clients are obtained from legal
DHCP servers instead of illegal servers created by some users privately.
l Second, on the subnets deployed DHCP service, hosts specified with legal IP
addresses, masks and gateways can access the network properly. However, the
DHCP server still may assign the addresses in use to other hosts. This will cause
address conflict and affect IP address assignment.
DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP inspection can solve the above problems.
DHCP snooping is a technology used to snoop into the validity of DHCP packets. Dynamic
ARP inspection is used to validate the security of ARP packets on network, and it can
prevent, record and drop ARP packets in which illegal IP addresses are bound to Medium
Access Control (MAC) addresses. The topology of DHCP snooping is shown in Figure
4-5.

Figure 4-5 Network Topology of DHCP Snooping
DHCP Snooping Principle

As shown in Figure 4-6, R1 and R2 are two interconnected switches. The clients obtain IP
addresses through the DHCP server to set online. According to the requirement, the ports
on the switch connecting to the clients are set to be un-trusted, and the port on the switch
connecting to the DHCP server is set to be trusted.
Figure 4-6 DHCP Snooping Typical Application
When a DHCP server and a client are not on the same subnet and the client wants to obtain
an IP address from the DHCP server, it is necessary to use a DHCP relay agent to forward
the DHCP Request message. Before the DHCP relay agent forwards the DHCP message
of the client to the DHCP server, it can inserts some optional information so that the DHCP
server can know the client information more correctly. In this way, the IP address and other
parameter values can be assigned more flexibly according to the related policy.

The option is named DHCP relay agent information option, and the option number is 82.
Therefore, it is also called Option82. The related standard document is Request For
Comments (RFC) 3046.
Option82 is an extended application of DHCP options. It is only an extension. That whether
Option82 is contained does not affect the application of DHCP. In addition, it is necessary
to check whether the DHCP server supports Option82. If a DHCP server that does not
support Option82 receives packets containing Option82 information, or a DHCP server
that supports Option82 receives packets not containing Option82 information, the basic
DHCP service will not be affected.
To support the extended application brought by Option82, the DHCP server must support
Option82 and Option82 information must be inserted into the DHCP packets received.
When a DHCP Request message is received on an un-trusted port, no matter whether the
DHCP server and the client are in the same subnet, The switch on which DHCP snooping is
enabled can choose whether to insert Option82 information. By default, the switch inserts
Option82 information to the DHCP Request message received on the un-trusted port.

5.1 TCPv4 Overview

Transfer Control Protocol (TCP)v4 is a kind of IPv4 protocols, which is a
connection-oriented full-duplex data transmission control protocol. It is a service for
byte flow. By means of TCPv4, the reliable guarantee is provided for network data
transmission. TCPv4 usually applies to the applications concerning data transmission
quality and result.
TCPv4 uses a mechanism that is similar to virtual connection. Make sure that both of
two ends prepare well and the acknowledgement and retransmission methods can ensure
the transmission safety before starting data transmission. The acknowledgement that the
last packet is already received has to be received by the sender before it sends the new
packet. This is a transmission method more reliable than UDP. Windowing can improve
network throughput a lot. Congestion control and fast retransmission can solve the time
delay and retransmission problems well. State machine and timer mechanism are the key
guarantee for TCP data transmission.
5.2 Configuring TCPv4

To configure the TCPv4 function on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#ip tcp synwait-time <seconds> Configures the waiting time for

establishing a TCP connection.
ZXR10(config)#no ip tcp synwait-time
Unit: seconds, range: 30–80,
default: 30 seconds.
The setting is invalid for the
current TCP connection.
Use the no command to restore
the default value.

UDPv4 Configuration
UDPv4 is a kind of user data protocols. It is a simple data transmission protocol. Its
transmission mechanism is irresponsible that it sends the data out but cannot ensure
the data is received by destination. Additionally, its retransmission and error correction
functions are decided by the applications of upper layer.
UDPv4 establishes connection between two application programs by combining

source/destination ports and IP addresses. It is a connectionless data transmission
mechanism. That is to say, no echo information is provided when data is transmitted. The
sender does not care about the data transmission validity, and the receiver reassembles
the data packet according to the sequence number containing in data segments. The
upper layer program can retransmit the entity packet if a data segment is not received.

7.1 Cluster Management Overview

Cluster is a combination of a group of switches in a specific broadcast domain. This
group of switches forms a unified management domain which provides a public network
IP address and a management interface to the outside and provides the functions of
managing and accessing every member in the cluster.
Management switch is configured with public network IP address as a command switch
and other managed switches such as member switches. Public network IP address is not
configured for the member switch but a private address is assigned to the member switch
with similar DHCP function of the command switch. Command switch and member switch
form a cluster (private network).
It is recommended to isolate the broadcast domain of the public network and that of
the private network on the command switch, and shield the direct access to the private
address. The command switch provides a management and maintenance channel to the
outside to manage the cluster in a centralized and unified manner.
A broadcast domain is composed of four kinds of switches:
l Command switch
l Member switch
l Candidate switch
l Backup switch

8.1 IPTV Overview

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is also called Interactive Network TV. IPTV is a
method of distributing television content over IP that enables a more customized and
interactive user experience. IPTV allows people who are separated geographically to
watch a movie together, while chatting and exchanging files simultaneously. IPTV uses
a two-way broadcast signal that is sent through the service provider's backbone network
and servers. It allows the viewers to select content on demand, and take advantage of
other interactive TV options. IPTV can be used through PC or "IP machine box + TV".
IPTV Service Architecture

For the IPTV service architecture, see Figure 8-1. The IPTV service mainly consists of
two layers: the service control layer and the service bearer layer. The service control layer
provides user management, service management, authentication, authorization, charging,
and program forecast functions and implements the control and management functions.
On the service bearer layer, the video source network provides the video coding function
and transmits the video service to the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN).
The IP MAN uses the IP unicast/broadcast function to transmit the video service to the
broadband access network. The broadband access network then operates with the
operation & management network to provide the access authentication management
function and the control function for joining in or leaving from a video broadcast group.
The video flow required by a user is granted. On the user side, when users watch TV
programs using the PC or TV+STB devices, the STB joins in the corresponding broadcast
group. The broadcast flow is transmitted to the STB through the xDSL or LAN cables.
The STB decode the flow and output the video to the PC or the TV set.

IPTV access control

The IPTV access control mainly refers to user authentication. For an IPTV user, four rights
are available: view, preview, query, and deny. For a carrier, the access control means to
allow different users to view different programs. For example, if a user paid for a channel,
this user has the right to view the programs provided by the channel. If the user does not
pay for the channel, this user can only preview some programs provided by the channel
instead of viewing the programs.
For the convenience of managing the broadcast flow, a static channel list (or a package
list) needs to be created first, and then a static port rule table (CAC) needs to be created.
After they are created, channels or packages can be applied to the rule, which means that
some channels can be viewed, some can be previewed, and some can be queried.
The IPTV access and control process is as follows: A user client sends a report (join in) or
leave packet to the IPTV module. The IPTV module queries the corresponding CAC rule
according to the user port and the VLAN, and authenticates the channel rights requested
by the user. For the query packet received from a route port, the IPTV module queries the
corresponding CAC rule according to the route port and the VLAN, and authenticates the
query request. Authentication means to query the channel rights ( view, preview, query,
and deny) configured in a rule. After the rights is queried, the result is returned to the
IGMP Snooping for further processing. The following describes how the IGMP Snooping
processes different rights:
l For the view and preview rights: Add the port to which the user belongs to the
broadcast forwarding table.
l For the query rights: Broadcast the query packet to the VLAN to which the route port
belongs.

1.1 ARP Overview

Introduction to ARP
When a network device sends data to another network device, besides Internet Protocol
(IP) address, the physical address (Media Access Control (MAC) address) of the
destination device is also necessary to be known. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is
used to map IP addresses into physical addresses to guarantee smooth communications.
To reduce ARP packets in a network and send data faster, the mapping relation between IP
addresses and MAC addresses is cached in the local ARP table. When a network device
needs to send data, it first searches the ARP table according to the IP address. If the MAC
address of the destination device is found in the ARP table, the device does not need to
send any ARP request. The dynamic entities in the ARP table will be deleted automatically
after a period. This period is called the ARP aging time.
ARP Principle
First, the source device broadcasts an ARP request containing the IP address of the
destination device. All devices in the network will receive ARP request. If a device finds
that the IP address in request matches its own IP address, it will send a reply containing
its MAC address to the source device. The source device obtains the MAC address of
the destination device through this reply.
To prevent the attacks from ARP virus, or to prevent that users connect devices to the
network randomly, permanent ARP entities can be configured on the device. A permanent
ARP entity takes effect immediately once the configuration is finished. It will not be lost
even if the device is reset.
User can configure ARP common attributions, such as clearing time, aging time, automatic
binding of dynamic ARP entities, and so on. ARP protection mode can also be configured.

ARP protection is based on a port or a device. If the number of entities in the ARP table is
more than the pre-configured ARP protection threshold, the excess ARP packets will be
discarded and the corresponding alarm will be printed to notify network administrators.
When there is a router (or several routers) between the devices for communication, it is
necessary to enable ARP proxy function on the switch.
When ARP source filter function is enabled, the device will search its routing table after
receiving an ARP packet. The device inspects whether there is a route that uses the
interface (on which this ARP packet is received) as the egress for the ARP packet with this
source IP. The ARP entity will be learnt if the route is found. Otherwise, the ARP packet
will be discarded. In this way, some virus attacks can be prevented.
1.2 ARP Limit Overview

Introduction to ARP Limit
ARP is one of basic protocol in Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
protocol stack. The attacks based on ARP always occur in the network. Excess ARP
packets will cost a lot of bandwidth and cause the network congestion.
Therefore, it is required that timestamp limit of ARP packets should be configured on
interface boards of high-end routers. This is to limit the speed of the ARP packets received
on interfaces. When the speed of the ARP packets received exceeds the limit value, the
device will inform the bottom to stop sending ARP packets.
ARP Limit Principle

ARP protocol provides an interactive mechanism between packets request and response
to achieve the translation between Ethernet IP addresses and physical addresses.
l When a host A needs to translate its IP address Ib, it broadcasts a special packet in
the network to ask the host whose IP address is Ib to reply with its MAC.
l All hosts in the network receive this request. But only the host B can identify its
IP address, and then it sends a reply containing its MAC address. Host A finishes
translating the Ethernet IP address of Host B to the physical address after it receives
this reply.
ARP limit function is to limit the number of ARP packets received on the specific interface
per second through the user configuration. This is to make the protocol safe.
On a physical port or a sub-interface on which ARP packet limit is enabled, when the
number of ARP packets received per second exceeds the threshold set by users, the
device will trigger the bottom layer through the socket to forbid forwarding and stop adding
ARP entities. The device will start the limit timer and send alarm message. The timer
expires when the triggering recovers.
The ARP module counts the ARP packets on each interface in split time. The interval is
set to 1 second which corresponds to the counting cycle of timestamp limit. When the ARP
module receives an ARP packet, the count of packet on the interface increments. After

the count is up to the threshold in the counting cycle, the device will notify the bottom to
stop forwarding ARP packets.
The limit relief is implemented by judging whether the limit times on the interfaces are up
through timer polling. If the limit time is up, the limit will be relieved. Otherwise, the limit is
still on.
1.3 Configuring ARP

ARP Proxy Application

As shown in Figure 1-1, Host A thinks that Host D is in the same segment with itself
(according to the masks). When Host A intends to communicates with Host D, Host
A sends an ARP request to Host D, as shown below:
Sender's MAC Addr Sender's IP Target MAC Addr Target IP
00-00-0c-94-36-aa 172.16.10.100 00-00-00-00-00-00 172.16.20.200
As shown in Figure 1-1, the ARP request cannot reach Host D, as a route does not
forward broadcast messages generally. In the condition that there is no ARP proxy,
the communication will fail.
Figure 1-1 Topology of ARP Proxy Application
When ARP proxy function is enabled on the switch, the router will request for valid IP
addresses except the IP address of the receiving interface on the switch. The switch
replies with the MAC address on the ingress interface of the ARP packet, as shown
below:
00-00-0c-94-36-ab 172.16.20.200 00-00-0c-94-36-aa 172.16.10.100

ARP Source Filter Application

ARP source filter function is enabled by default. After this function is enabled, the
switch will search its routing table to check whether there is a route that uses the
interface (on which this ARP packet is received) as the egress for the ARP packet
with this source IP. The ARP entity will be learnt if the route is found. Otherwise, the
ARP packet will be discarded.

1.5.3 ARP Proxy Application

As shown in Figure 1-2, Host A thinks that Host D is in the same segment with itself
(according to the masks). When Host A intends to communicates with Host D, Host A
sends an ARP request to Host D, as shown below:
00-00-0c-94-36-aa 172.16.10.100 00-00-00-00-00-00 172.16.20.200
As shown in Figure 1-2, the ARP request cannot reach Host D, as a route does not
forward broadcast messages generally. In the condition that there is no ARP proxy, the
communication will fail.

Figure 1-2 Topology of ARP Proxy Application
When ARP proxy function is enabled on the switch, the router will request for valid IP
addresses except the IP address of the receiving interface on the switch. The switch
replies with the MAC address on the ingress interface of the ARP packet, as shown below:
00-00-0c-94-36-ab 172.16.20.200 00-00-0c-94-36-aa 172.16.10.100
Therefore, a new entity is added into the ARP table of Host A, as shown below:
ZXR10(config)#show arp
The count is 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.5.4 ARP Source Filter Application

ARP source filter function is enabled by default. After this function is enabled, the switch
will search its routing table to check whether there is a route that uses the interface (on
which this ARP packet is received) as the egress for the ARP packet with this source IP.
The ARP entity will be learnt if the route is found. Otherwise, the ARP packet will be
discarded.
The configuration is shown below:
/*Disable source filter*/

2.1 VLAN Overview

Introduction to VLAN
The virtual local area network (VLAN) is a technology that logically divides the devices in
a LAN into network segments to implement the functions of virtual workgroup. A VLAN is
mainly used to isolate the broadcast domain.
The VLAN logically divides network resources and users according to certain rules. That
is, it divides a physical network into several small logical networks. These logical networks
form their respective broadcast domains, that is, VLANs.
VLAN Principle
The VLAN functions on a switch in the following four ways:
l VLAN allocated by interface
In this case, VLANs are allocated by interfaces on Ethernet switches. To be specific,
the VLAN to which each interface belongs is clearly specified. Allocating VLANs by
interface is one of the most widely used methods. The IEEE 802.1Q provides an
international standard for allocating VLANs by interfaces on Ethernet switches.
l VLAN allocated by MAC address
In this case, VLANs are allocated by the MAC address of each host. To be specific,
the group to which each host belongs is clearly specified. That is, the VLAN to which
an interface belongs is determined by querying and recording the MAC address of the
network adaptor on the host connected to the interface. Suppose that MAC address A
is configured by a switch to belong to VLAN 10. In this case, no matter which interface
on the switch is used to connect the host with MAC address A, the interface will be
allocated to VLAN 10. For example, if interface 1 is used to connect the host, interface
1 belongs to VLAN 10; if interface 2 is used to connect the host, interface 2 belongs
to VLAN 10.
l VLAN allocated by IP subnet

.d o .c .d o .c
In this case, VLANs are allocated by subnet. To be specific, the VLAN to which an
interface belongs is determined by the IP address of the connected host. Unlike
the VLAN allocated by MAC address, an interface can be successfully added to the
original VALN for a same IP address, even though the MAC address is changed due to
replacement of network adaptor or other reasons. For the VLAN allocated by subnet,
the VLAN of a frame is determined by the subnet to which the frame belongs. To
achieve this, the switch must check the network-layer content of a received frame.
This kind of VLAN is like a switch, dividing subnets into different broadcast domains.
l VLAN allocated by network protocol
In this case, VLANs are allocated by protocol. To be specific, a physical network is
divided into multiple logical VLANs based on protocol. When an interface receives a
frame, its VLAN is determined by the protocol type in the packet. For example, IP,
IPX, and Appletalk may have their own independent VLAN. The IP broadcast frames
are sent only to all the interfaces in the IP VLAN.
This allocation method is quite flexible, which is the same as the advantage of
the VLAN allocated by subnet. It is applicable to the L3 network or the network
environment with various protocols.
VLAN Translation
VLAN translation is used in metropolitan area networks. The VLAN IDs of switches used
for edge access can be the same. VLAN translation can modify the same VLAN IDs to
different VLAN IDs, and then forwards packets through the uplink interface on the ZXR10
5900E. In this way, user isolation on L2 switches can be achieved.
The ZXR10 5900E supports ingress VLAN translation and egress VLAN translation.
2.2 Configuring a VLAN

Configuring VLAN Properties of Single L2 Interface
To configure VLAN properties of a single L2 interface on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the
following steps:
Steps Command Function
1 ZXR10(config)#switchvlan-configuration Enters switch VLAN

configuration mode.
2 ZXR10(config-swvlan)#interface <interface-name> Enters switch VLAN interface

configuration mode.
3 ZXR10(config-swvlan-if-ifname)#switchport mode Configures the VLAN link mode

{access|hybrid|trunk} of an Ethernet interface. The
default mode is access.

3.1 SuperVLAN Overview

Introduction to SuperVLAN
SuperVLAN is a type of virtual interface formed by binding several interfaces, such as
VLAN sub-interface nn different boards.
SuperVLAN technology aggregates many subVLANs together. These subVLANs share
one IP sub-network and the same default gateway. In a SuperVLAN, all subVLANs can
allocate IP addresses in the SuperVLAN flexibly and use the default gateway of the
SuperVLAN. Each subVLAN has its own independent broadcast domain, which ensures
the isolation between different users. The communication between subVLANs is routed
by the SuperVLAN. The SuperVLAN supports cross-board interface binding .
SuperVLAN Principle
SuperVLAN is advanced by Internet Society RFC 3069. After VLAN is introduced, different
VLANs cannot communicate with each other through L2 forwarding. The communication
is implemented through L3 routing. Thus, it is necessary to configure different IP address
segments between VLANs. To save IP addresses, SuperVLAN is used.
The principle of common VLAN is shown in Figure 3-1.

On the device, the ports connecting A, B,C and D belong to different VLANs. Therefore,
the different IP address segments are configured on A, B, C and D. The communications
are implemented through L3 route forwarding.
As shown in Figure 3-2, after SuperVLAN is used, VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are bound to
SuperVLAN1, while VLAN 3 and VLAN 4 are bound to SuperVLAN2.
Figure 3-2 Configuration on Device with SuperVLAN
The network segment x.x.x.0/24 is configured on A and B, and x.x.y.0/24 network segment
is configured on C and D. SuperVLAN 1 acts as the ARP proxy between A and B, and
SuperVLAN2 acts as the ARP proxy between C and D. Therefore, the communications
between A and B, and between C and D can be implemented through L2 forwarding.
However, the communication between the hosts in different network segments (such as A
and C) still needs to be implemented through L3 forwarding.
In addition, each VLAN member of SuperVLAN is allocated an IP address segment.
To ensure the security, the packets will be discarded if the IP addresses of the packets
received by the SuperVLAN do not match the allocated IP address segment.

4.1 Voice VLAN Overview

Introduction to Voice VLAN
Voice VLAN is a VLAN created especially for voice data traffic of users. Ports connecting
to voice devices are added to a Voice VLAN, and relevant QoS parameters are configured
to enhance the transmission priority of voice traffic and ensure reliable voice quality.
Voice VLAN Principle

An OUI address, which is a globally unique identifier assigned by the IEEE to an
equipment provider, refers to the first 24 bits of a MAC address (in binary system).
The switch determines a voice packet if the source MAC address carried in the packet
matches the OUI address of a voice device.
The work mode of a Voice VLAN may be manual or automatic, depending on the way of
adding ports to the Voice VLAN.
l In manual mode, the port through which voice data is transmitted should be added to
the Voice VLAN manually, and the ACL should be delivered to configure the packet
priority. Otherwise, the voice packet is discarded.
l In automatic mode, when detecting voice data, the switch adds the port to the Voice
VLAN automatically, delivers the ACL to configure the packet priority, and learns the
MAC address of the voice packet. When the port is added to the Voice VLAN, the
switch starts an aging timer. When the aging time expires, the switch detects the
MAC address table. If no MAC address of voice packets is found, the port will be
removed from the Voice VLAN.
The work mode of a Voice VLAN may be strict safety mode, non-strict safety mode, or
normal mode, depending on the packet filtering mechanism on the port with the Voice
VLAN function enabled.
l In strict safety mode, source MAC addresses of untagged and tagged packets are
checked. If the source MAC address of a packet does not match the MAC address
configured for voice data, the packet is discarded.

l In non-strict safety mode, source MAC addresses of packets with Voice VLAN tags
are checked. If the source MAC address of a packet does not match the MAC address
configured for voice data, the packet is discarded. Untagged packets are forwarded
properly.
l In normal mode, the switch forwards both voice and service packets properly. Voice
packets follow the forwarding mechanism of Voice VLANs, while non-voice packets
follow the forwarding mechanism of common VLANs.
For voice packets carrying non-Voice VLAN tags, if the VLAN translation function is
enabled for voice packets, non-Voice VLAN tags will be translated into Voice VLAN tags
and the voice packets are forwarded in the Voice VLAN.

5.1 PVLAN Overview

Introduction to PVLAN
For some actual requirements, the interfaces on a switch must be isolated. In the case
of the common VLAN mode, you need to assign a VLAN for each interface. If so, there
must be a large number of VLANs required but the actual VLANs are limited. In addition,
packets are transmitted to the upper-layer device by transparent transmission over a large
number of VLANs, which wastes IP addresses and increases the load on the upper-layer
device. On the other hand, it is inconvenient for network management and network audit.
In this case, the PVLAN function of a switch is required.
PVLAN is one of the features provided by the ZTE Ethernet switch. For layer-2 accesses,
PVLAN divides users in the same VLAN, and sets the port connected to users to an isolated
port. This isolates layer-2 packets of different users.
PVLAN Principle
The switch requires that all interfaces are isolated from each other according to network
application. That is, each interface will be allocated with a VLAN. Meanwhile, the number
of VLANs for the upper-layer device is limited and thus the VLANs from the switch cannot
be transparently transmitted. In this case, the working mode of the uplink interface on the
switch must be configured to access. PVLAN achieves port-based isolation in a VLAN. It
is easy to isolation users at layer 2, and it is unnecessary to allocate a VLAN ID for each
user. PVLAN is one of the features provided by the ZTE Ethernet switch. In the process
of cell access, the PVLAN allocates users into different VLANs to isolate the L2 packets
of these users.
The PVLAN uses the L2 VLAN structure and VLAN interfaces are classified into the
following types:
l Isolate port
l Promiscuous port
l Community port

An isolate port can communicate only with promiscuous ports, and isolate ports cannot
communicate with each other directly. A community port can communicate with other
community ports or promiscuous ports. Community ports cannot communicate with isolate
ports. Promiscuous ports can communicate with other ports for layer-2 communications.
In PVLAN applications, the ports connected to users are set to isolate ports, and the
ports connected to uplink switches are set to promiscuous ports. The users in the same
VLAN are isolated and users can communicate only with their own default gateway, which
ensures network security.
One ore more PVLANs exist on an Ethernet switch. Each PVLAN contains multiple isolate
interfaces and uplink promiscuous interfaces. For the upper-layer router, only several
PVLANs exist on the lower-layer switch and the upper-layer router does not concern the
VLAN to which each interface in the PVLAN belongs. This simplifies configuration and
saves VLAN resources. To be specific, all the isolate interfaces in one PVLAN belong to
a same subnet, which saves the number of subnets and IP addresses.
The PVLAN provides flexible configuration mode. To isolate L2 packets sent from users,
you can configure an isolate interface for each user and make each VLAN contain only the
connected interface of the user and the uplink interface. To restore communication based
on L2 packets between users, the ports connected to users can be divided into community
ports.

6.1 QinQ Overview

QinQ is short for 802.1Q in 802.1 Q. With more and more deployment of Ethernet
technologies in network (Metro Ethernet Network (MEN)), 802.1Q VLAN is restricted a lot
in user isolation and identifying. As there are only 12 bits in the VLAN tag field defined by
IEEE802.1Q, which identifies 4k VLANs. QinQ comes into birth to solve the problem that
there are lots of users needing to be identified in MEN.
QinQ is generated to increase the number of VLANs. It adds a 802.1Q label on the base
of the conventional 802.1Q packet. Now, there are 4k*4k VLANs available by using QinQ.
The internal and external tags of QinQ represent different information. For example, the
internal tag represents users, and the external tag represents services. A QinQ packet
is transmitted through operator networks with two tags. The internal tag is transmitted
transparently. QinQ is a simple and utility Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology.
Therefore, it can act as the extension of core Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN
in MEN VPN to form an end-to-end VPN technology finally.
6.2 Configuring QinQ

To configure QinQ on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)#vlan-configuration This enters VLAN configuration

mode.
2 ZXR10(vlan-config)#interface <interface-name> This enters VLAN sub-interface

service configuration mode.
3 ZXR10(subvlan-if-config)#qinq internal-vlanid This configures the internal

<vlan-id> external-vlanid <vlan-id> VLAN-ID and the external
VLAN-ID.

7.1 STP Overview

Working Characteristics of Transparent Bridge
Bridge works at the data link layer. It connects two LANs and forwards data frames
according to MAC addresses, which implements data exchange between different LANs.
The process of determining data forwarding is generally called transparent bridge in
Ethernet. However, it is called source route bridge in a token ring network, which is
different from transparent bridge. Therefore, bridges are classified into several categories
including transparent bridge and source route bridge. This section mainly introduces the
function of transparent bridge in Ethernet.
Transparent bridge is mainly used in Ethernet. Transparent bridge is so named because
it is transparent to the end node. That is, the data forwarding process from one network
host to another is completely transparent to the hosts. These network hosts cannot sense
the device types involved during this process and can automatically work without any
configuration. Furthermore, a transparent bridge, except the trunk line of VLAN, does
not modify the frames it forwards in any way.
Transparent bridge processes the abilities of learning and forwarding. The learning ability
of a transparent bridge is to record the source MAC address and interface number of each
received data frame. Next time when receiving a packet with the destination MAC address,
it directly forwards the packet to the interface recorded. If the current MAC address is not
recorded or the destination MAC address is a multicast address, the transparent bridge
forwards the packet to to all the interfaces.
By using a transparent bridge, different LANs can communicate with each other and the
scope for operating a network expands. Meanwhile, a transparent bridge has the ability to
learn MAC addresses. Therefore, it will not cause the same problem of packet collision or
flush just as that of Hub. However, a transparent bridge has its own disadvantages, such
as its function for transparent transmission. A transparent bridge is not similar to a hub
that can sense how many times a packet is forwarded. Once a loop exists in the network,
a packet will be continuously cycled and multiplied within the loop, which finally results in

broadcast storm.Figure 7-1 shows an example of packet cycling and multiplication caused
by a loop.
Figure 7-1 Packet Cycling and Multiplication
Suppose that site A does not send any packet. Thus, there is no address record of site A
in the address lists on switch 1 and switch 2. When site A sends a packet, both of the two
switches receive this packet, record the address on LANA, and then wait in the queue for
forwarding the packet to LANB. According to the rule of LAN, one of the two switches will
successfully forward the packet to LAN2. If such a switch is switch 1, switch 2 will receive
this packet again because switch 1 is transparent to switch 2, which is like sending the
packet from LANB rather than site A. In this case, switch 2 records the address of site A
on LANB and waits in the queue for forwarding the new packet to LANA. On the contrary,
if switch 2 successfully forwards the original packet to LANB at the beginning, switch 1 will
receive this packet again. When detecting that the packet from site A has been forwarded
to LANB, switch 1 will wait in the queue for forwarding the new packet to LANA. In this way,
the packet will continuously cycled in the loop. What is worse, if the packet is a broadcast
packet and there are other hosts connected to switch 1 and switch 2, the packet will be
multiplied each time when it is forwarded successfully, which finally results in broadcast
storm in the network.
To solve this problem, the IEEE develops a new protocol called 802.1D defining that a
bridge has the abilities of STP leaning and calculation. In addition, it has the abilities to
locate the fault of packet cycling and disconnect redundancy links.
Therefore, a transparent bridge must provide the following three working characteristics:
learning, forwarding, and eliminating of packet cycling.
Instruction to STP
The basic principle of the STP protocol is very simple. The loop dose not exist on the
trees growing in the nature. If the network can grow like a tree, the loop will not exist in
the network. Based on such a thought, the STP protocol defines the concepts including
Root Bridge, Root Port, Designated Port, and Path Cost. Its purpose is to cut redundancy
loops by constructing a natural tree and to implement link backup and the best path. In
addition, the STP protocol supports link backup in the network. When the network topology

changes, the STP protocol can automatically sense the changes, re-calculate the spanning
tree to generate a new one, and meanwhile confirm that no loop forward path exists.
Figure 7-2 STP Network Topology
As shown in Figure 7-2, the interface between S3 and S2 does not involve in data
forwarding. Therefore, the forward path for the information sent from the PC of user A in
the network is shown in the above figure. The specific content of the protocol will not be
described in this section. For details, see the IEEE 802.1D.
STP Principle
The STP protocol solves the loop problem for a transparent bridge. However, with the
development of applications and network technologies, its disadvantages are exposed
gradually. The main disadvantage of STP is the convergence speed. To improve this
disadvantage, the IEEE developed a 802.1W protocol standard as a supplement to the
802.1D. The IEEE 802.1W standard defines a new protocol, that is, Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP). There are three major modifications in the RSTP based on the STP.
Therefore, the convergence speed is faster than that of the STP.
l The RSTP defines two roles for the root port and the designated port, namely Alternate
Port (AP) and Backup Port (BP). These two ports will be used during fast switching.
When a root port or a designated port is unavailable, the AP or BP will be in data
forwarding state without any delay.
l By using the P/A mechanism, for a point-to-point link that connects only two switch
ports, the designated port can be in data forwarding state without any delay after
handshaking with the downlink bridge just once.
l A port that is directly connected to a terminal rather than a bridge is called an edge
port. Such a port can be in data forwarding state without any delay. However, manual
configuration is required because a bridge cannot sense whether a port is directly
connected to a terminal.
Both RSTP and STP belong to Single Spanning Tree (SST). That is to say, there is only
one spanning tree in the whole switch network. Therefore, a longer convergence time is

consumed in the case of a large-scale network. When the configuration of 802.1Q leads
to the asymmetric structure of VLAN in network bearer, SST affects the connectivity of
some VLANs in the network. Meanwhile, when a link is blocked in the case of SST, it does
not bear any traffic, which causes huge waste of bandwidth and cannot implement load
sharing.
The above disadvantages cannot be overcame by SST. Therefore, the multi-instance STP
protocol supporting VLAN emerges, that is, the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
defined in IEEE 802.1S.
MSTP introduces a concept of domain. A large network can be divided into multiple
domains based on configuration. Each domain applies a multi-instance spanning tree,
which improves the expansibility and stability of a spanning tree. When the spanning tree
in a domain changes, the changed information will be transmitted in the spanning tree of
the domain, which does not affect other domains. In this case, the whole network does
not re-calculate the topology of spanning trees. Meanwhile, the MSTP has the ability
to recognize VLANs. Multiple VLANs can be bound to one instance and these VLANs
use different forwarding paths, which decreases the occupancy of various resources and
implements load sharing. The principle of the CST, IST, or MSTI is similar to that of the
RSTP.

8.1 LLDP Overview

Introduction to LLDP
With the wide applications of Ethernet on LAN and Metropolitan Area Network (MAN),
users have higher and higher requirements for Ethernet management ability. At present,
many network management systems use the automatic discovery function to trace the
topology changes. However, most network management systems can only analyze the
network topology up to the network layer. The information, such as the interfaces on a
device, the interfaces connected to other devices, and the paths among clients, network
devices and servers, need to be collected through the link layer. With enough detailed
information, users can locate network faults correctly.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a protocol defined by IEEE 802.1ab. Network
management systems can know the topology and changes of L2 networks through LLDP.
LLDP organizes local device information into Type/Length/Value (TLV) and encapsulates
it in a Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Unit (LLDPDU) to send it to the direct-connected
neighbor. Meanwhile, LLDP saves the LLDPPDU sent by neighbors in the standard MIB,
so that network management systems can query and judge the communication states of
links.
LLDP Principle
LLDP is defined in 802.1ab. As shown in Figure 8-1, LLDP works at the data link layer.
It is a neighbor discovery protocol that defines a standard for Ethernet devices (such as
switches, routers and wireless LAN access points). Through LLDP, an Ethernet device
can advertise its existence to other nodes on the network and save discovery information
of neighbor devices. The device sends the state information to other devices. The
information is stored on each port of all devices. If necessary, the device can send update
information to the neighbor devices that are connected directly, and the neighbor devices
store the information in standard SNMP MIBs.

Network management systems can query the L2 connection information in the MIB. LLDP
does not configure or control network elements or traffic. It just reports the position of L2.
Another function defined in 802.1ab is that network management software can use the
information provided by LLDP to find conflicts at L2 network. At present, IEEE uses the
physical topologies, interfaces and entity MISs existing in IETF.
Figure 8-1 LLDP System Structure
LLDP defines a general advertisement set, a transport advertisement protocol and a

method of storing all received advertisements. A device that wants to advertise its
information can put several advertisements in a LAN packet. The mode to transmit the
packets is the TLV field.
The information includes the chassis ID (mandatory), port ID (mandatory), system name,
system function, system description and some other attributes.
A device that supports LLDP must support chassis ID advertisements and port ID
advertisements. Most devices need to support system name advertisements, system
description advertisements and system capability advertisements. System name
advertisements and system description advertisements can provide useful information to
collect network traffic. System description advertisements also can contain information
such as the full name of the device, the type of the system hardware and the version of
the software operating system.
LLDP information is transmitted periodically and it can only be stored for a period. IEEE
has defined a recommended transmission frequency, about once per 30 seconds. When
an LLDP device receives an LLDP packet sent by a neighbor LLDP device, it stores the

information in the CACHE of SNMP MIB defined by IEEE. The information is invalid during
a period. The value of TTL to define the period is contained in the received packets.
LLDP makes network management systems be able to discover and simulate physical
network topologies correctly. LLDP devices send and receive advertisements, so the
devices save the information of the discovered neighbor devices. The advertisement data,
such as the management address, device type and port number of a neighbor device, is
helpful to know the type and interconnected interfaces of the neighbor device. An LLDP
device advertises its information to direct-connected neighbor devices periodically. It also
receives, refreshes and saves the advertisements from neighbor devices. The device
scans the CACHE every second. If no new packet is received during the hole-time period,
the information is aged.
l Chassis ID is the first mandatory TLV in an LLDPDU. It is the unique ID of a device that
supports to send LLDPDUs. It is recommended to use the chassis MAC address as
the chassis ID for a switch, and use the loopback address or an interface IP address
as the chassis ID for a router.
l Port ID is the second mandatory TLV in an LLDPPDU. It is the unique ID of port that
sends LLDPDUs. For a switch, it is recommended to use the port name as the port
ID, such as fei4/1.
l TTL is the third mandatory TLV in an LLDPPDU. It is the living time (in the unit of
second) of an LLDPPDU received by the peer. When a peer receives an LLDPPDU
of which the TTL is 0, the device deletes all related information.
l End of LLDPDU is the last mandatory TLV in an LLDPPDU. It defines the end of an
LLDPPDU.
8.2 Configuring LLDP

To configure LLDP on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#lldp Enters LLDP configuration

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-lldp)#hellotime <times> Configures the interval of

sending LLDP neighbor
discovery packets. Use the no
command to restore the default
value.
3 ZXR10(config-lldp)#holdtime <times> Configures the hold-time of an

LLDP neighbor. Use the no
value.

9.1 SmartGroup Overview

Introduction to SmartGroup
The definition of link aggregation is shown below:
l Link aggregation is also called port trunk or port aggregation.
l Link aggregation is to aggregate several ports into a aggregation group to implement
load balance of in/out flows on each member port.
l This improves the reliability of the connections at the same time. When a link is
disconnected, the traffic will be reassigned among the remaining link automatically.
l Link aggregation is implemented on the data link layer.
The definition of smartgroup is shown below:
SmartGroup is to bind several different types of Ethernet interfaces into a logical
SmartGroup interface. On ZXR10 5900E, SmartGroup provides more flexible and
effective solutions about network architecture for users. It brings more flexibility in network
planning and network architecture designing with ZXR10 series products. It also improves
the network stability greatly, especially for Ethernet and network environments in which
Ethernet interfaces are used. SmartGroup function can extend bandwidth, which makes
the cost to construct network more reasonable.
l SmartGroup supports aggregation of Ethernet interfaces across boards.

l 128 SmartGroup interfaces can be configured at most.
l There are 8 Ethernet interfaces at most in each SmartGroup interface.
SmartGroup Principle
The link aggregation of SmartGroup is to aggregate several ports into an aggregation
group, thus to share out/in load among the member ports. This also improves the reliability
of the connections. Outwardly, the aggregation group seems as a port. Load sharing of link
aggregation supports load-sharing aggregation and non-load-sharing aggregation.Figure
9-1 shows a SmartGroup link aggregation.

Figure 9-1 SmartGroup Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized method to exchange

information between mate systems on links. LACP allows link aggregation control entities
to make an agreement on the unity of the link aggregation cluster. It also allows to class a
link to a link aggregation cluster and enable the functions of receiving and sending in order.
The principle of LACP includes the following points:
l LACP runs on a single physical port. It relies on the transmission of information and
state instead of command.
l LACP is a procedure of constant negotiation at two ends. There are two negotiation
modes, active mode and passive mode.
l If the negotiation is successful on a port, this port is an active port, otherwise it is a
member port. Only active ports can send and receive packets.
l Negotiation packets are sent continually, and they are terminated on ports.
l The negotiation of the ports in an aggregation group is independent between each
other without any interaction.
l There is no obvious mechanism about packet loss monitoring or retransmission in
LACP.
9.2 Configuring SmartGroup

To configure a SmartGroup on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#interface <smartgroup-name> Creates a SmartGroup

interface, and enters
SmartGroup interface
configuration mode. Use
the no command to delete the
interface.
2 ZXR10(config)#lacp Enters LACP configuration

mode.

10.1 SVLAN Overview

Introduction to SVLAN
The selective VLAN (SVLAN) is a VLAN tunnel technology. It adds a VLAN tag based on
the original 802.1Q tag, shields the inner VLAN tag, and finally removes the outer VLAN
tag when a message is transparently transmitted to the edge switch over an SP network. In
this way, it implements the transparent transmission service over a multipoint to multipoint
virtual LAN and provides users with a relatively simple L2 VPN tunnel. With the technology,
a packet can carry two tags, which efficiently increases the number of VLANs (up to 4096
x 4096). Usually, an outer VLAN tag refers to the service provider VLAN (SPVLAN) and
an inner VLAN tag refers to the customer VLAN (CVLAN).
The common QinQ adds only one outer tag for the packets of an interface, which greatly
restricts networking flexibility. However, the SVLAN function can selectively add outer tags
for the packets received on a same interface based on different inner tags according to
customer requirements.
For some services, the system must ensure that their packets are not affected when
passing through a switch, that is, the quantity and values of tags remain unchanged. The
SVLAN supports such a function for transparently transmitting VLANs.
In addition, the SVLAN can implement 802.1P CoS priority mapping between outer tags
and inner tags.
SVLAN Principle
Currently, SVLAN is mainly implemented by VFP and IFP, based on which two types
of CLI configuration are provided. It is recommended that you use the SVLAN in VFP
mode because it can fully implement unicast forwarding in uplink and downlink directions.
Furthermore, with ACL rules, it can perform data filtering by packet type or IP address to
implement stream splitting in a better way. This section details the SVLAN in VFP mode.
SVLAN supports five service types. Users can flexibly choose a combination of these

service types according to their own network. This ensures that SVLAN applies proper
service types for different networking environments.
The following sections detail all the service types.
Service Type 1 (in1-out2)
As shown in Figure 10-1, an outer OVLAN can be added according to the designated inner
VLAN.
Figure 10-1 Service Type 1 (in1-out2)
l In uplink direction:
The switch splits data streams received on the customer port according to the
carried inner VLANs. To be specific, the switch adds outer OVLANs for data streams
according to the carried inner VLANs and then forwards the data streams based on
the L2 forwarding principle and the outer VLANs.
l In downlink direction:
When receiving data streams with double tags on the uplink port, the switch forwards
them based on the L2 forwarding principle and the outer VLANs. The switch then
removes the outer tags when the data streams reach the customer port.

Note:
There is anther configuration type, namely IFP SVLAN. The switch learns the PVID by
using the function of MAC address learning and then redirects to the uplink port. Therefore,
in the downlink direction, data streams are broadcast in OVLANs as unknown unicast to
the customer port.
Service Type 2 (in1-out2 pri designated)

As shown in Figure 10-2, the switch adds outer OVLANs according to the carried inner
VLANs and supports 802.1Q configuration for the data streams with outer OVLANs based
on user priorities. This facilitates QoS management.

Service Type 3 (in1-out2 pri mapping)

As shown in Figure 10-3, the switch adds outer OVLANs for data streams according to
the carried inner VLANs and maps 802.1Q configuration of inner VLANs to OVLANs,
which facilitates QoS management. In this case, the QoS of the original network remains
unchanged.

Service Type 4 (in1-out1)

As shown in Figure 10-4, the switch transparently transmits data streams according to the
carried inner VLANs.
Figure 10-4 Service Type 4 (in1-out1)
The switch splits data streams received on the customer port according to the carried
inner VLANs. To be specific, the switch transparently transmits the data streams with
inner VLANs without any data processing.
When data streams with tags reach the uplink port, the switch forwards them based
on the L2 forwarding principle.
VFP:
l Just support a single port transparent transmission configuration type.
l For in-vlan any configuration type, It transparently transmits all the inner VLANs.

IFP:
l There are two configuration types, namely configuration based on a single session
(transparent transmission for only a single inner VLAN) and configuration based
on all sessions except single-tag to double-tag sessions (default-vlan-forwarding:
transparent transmission for all inner VLANs).
l If default-vlan-forwarding is required, this function must be configured at last. After
configuration, the configuration of IFP SVLAN does not take effect.
l The switch learns the PVID by using the function of MAC address learning and then
redirects to the uplink port. Therefore, in the downlink direction, data streams are
broadcast in inner VLANs as unknown unicast to the customer port.
Service Type 5 (int2-out2)
If the received packets carry double tags, the above mentioned transparent transmission
can implement In and Out with double tags.
Service Type 6 (untag-out1, supported only by SVLAN in IFP mode)
As shown in Figure 10-5, the switch adds tags for the data streams without any tag received
on the customer port. Unlike common ports that use only the default PVID, the switch can
add different tags for the data streams without any tag received on the customer port,
which omits the process of VLAN translation.
Figure 10-5 Service Type 6 (untag-out1, supported only by SVLAN in IFP mode)
The switch splits data streams without any tag received on the customer port
according to their configurations. To be specific, the switch adds outer OVLANs for
the data streams and then forwards them based on the L2 forwarding principle.

When data streams with tags reach the uplink port, the switch forwards them based
on the L2 forwarding principle and then removes their tags on the customer port.
Service Type 7 (untag-untag)
After the untagged packets pass through the untag to single-tag service, their tags are
removed on the uplink port to form the untag to untag service.
Service Type 8 (enhance vfp)
Packets with single tag is sent to the switch. The switch adds outer tags in accordance
with policies.
The switch modifies inner VIDs and adds outer VIDs according to the properties and VIDs
carried in the single-tag packets.
The switch deletes outer VIDs according to the properties and inner and outer VIDs carried
in the received packets.
For the received double-tag packets, the switch deletes their outer tags and modifies their
inner tags according to the policy.
For the received double-tag packets, the switch modifies their outer tags according to the
policy.
The switch modifies inner VIDs according to the properties and inner and outer VIDs carried
in the received packets.
The switch modifies inner and outer VIDs according to the properties and inner and outer
VIDs carried in the received packets.
For the received double-tag packets, the switch removes the inner or outer tags in
accordance with policies.
For the received untag packets, the switch adds inner and outer tags in accordance with
policies.
For the advanced VFP function, the customer port need not run the switchport qinq custo
mer command for configuration. customer refers to the updated OVLAN. In this case, the
switch forwards packets to the uplink port according to the updated OVLAN and the MAC
learns the updated OVLAN.
Note:
There is another configuration type, namely IFP SVLAN. The switch matches inner and
outer tags for the double-tag packets and then removes their outer tags. The customer
port need not run the switchport qinq customer command for configuration. customer refers
to the OVLAN before update. In this case, the switch forwards packets to the uplink port
according to the updated OVLAN and the MAC learns the OVLAN before replacement.

Actual Network Application of SVLAN

Typical Network Scheme with SVLAN (Case 1)
Figure 10-6 Network Topology with SVLAN (1)
l Network Characteristics
1. A customer interface requires both the QinQ service and the transparent
transmission service.
2. The SmartGroup function is not enabled on the uplink interface and a BRAS and
a router exist in the uplink direction. In this case, a large number of packets
from PPPoE users are added with QinQ tags and then transmitted to the BRAS
for authentication. The packets from other private line users are transparently
transmitted to the router.
3. A network management VLAN is used to manage the T64G and its mounted
devices.
l Functions Implemented by SVLAN
1. The packets with a same OVLAN can be transmitted to different networks. In
addition, the packets are forwarded to the BRAS and router respectively based
on L2 unicast.
2. The packets with the network management VLAN can be transmitted over a same
network to a device, for example, BRAS. This facilitates the NMS to implement
centralized management.
3. Different OVLANs can be added for a same inner VLAN of different interfaces.
4. OVLANs can be added for different inner VLANs on a same interface.
5. OVLANs can be added for a same inner VLAN but different IP segments on a
same interface.

l Key Configuration Points

1. In addition to the sessions of in-vlan any type, the VFP SVLAN implements uni-
cast-based forwarding in all cases including single tag to double tags and trans-
parent transmission in pinpoint and global modes.
2. Compared with the transparent transmission VLAN, the IFP SVLAN usually
configures helper-vlan to a VLAN that is not used, for example, 4094. In this
case, the helper-vlan parameter of the uplink interface must be configured to
untag.

4. OVLANs can be added for different inner VLANs on a same interface.
5. OVLANs can be added for a same inner VLAN but different IP segments on a
same interface.
6. The load sharing of data can be implemented. That is, the link data can be backed
up and the bandwidth can be greatly expanded.
l Key Configuration Points
1. In addition to the sessions of in-vlan any type, the VFP SVLAN implements
unicast-based forwarding in all cases including single tag to double tags and
transparent transmission in pinpoint and global modes.
2. Compared with the transparent transmission VLAN, the IFP SVLAN usually
configures helper-vlan to a VLAN that is not used, for example, 4094. In this
case, the helper-vlan parameter of the uplink interface must be configured to
untag.
3. During configuration, enter vlan session and configure uplink as smartgroupID.

Except the function of untag to single tag, the other SVLAN functions of the VFP and IFP
are the same. It is recommended that you use the SVLAN of VFP and meanwhile do not
configure two SVLANs with the same function provided by VFP and IFP.
SVLAN consists of IFP and VFP. VFP consists of common VFP and enhanced VFP. For
enhanced VFP, the downlink port cannot be set to a customer port.
When the same function can be accomplished by common VFP and enhanced VFP, it is
recommended that users use enhanced VFP. It is not recommended that users configure
common VFP and enhanced VFP on the same port.
10.3 Maintaining an SVLAN

To maintain the SVLAN function on the ZXR10 5900E, run the following commands:
Command Function
ZXR10#show vfp-entry shelf<shelf-id>slot<line-card> Displays the usage of VFP entries

on a line card.
ZXR10#show vfp-config <interface name> type <acl type> Displays the VFP configuration
information on an interface.
ZXR10#show vfp statistics <interface name>session<session-id Displays traffic statistics of the

><acl-type> VFP.
ZXR10#show running-config<pm-svlan> Displays the configuration

information about the VFP and
IFP.
ZXR10#show vlan-qinq [all | brief] Displays the configuration

information about VLAN QinQ.

11.1 ZESR Overview

Introduction to ZESR
The ZTE Ethernet switch ring (ZESR) is an Ethernet ring technology based on the EAPS
(RFC3619) protocol. It allows the network administrator to create an Ethernet ring network,
which is similar to the fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) or SONET or SDH ring in terms
of network scheme. The ZESR can recover the system from any link or node fault within
50 ms.
As shown in Figure 11-1, S1 functions as a primary node and other switches function
as transport nodes. For the two interfaces on the primary node, one functions as the
master interface and the other functions as the slave interface. During initialization, the
slave interface is blocked to avoid a loop. When a transport node detects that any of its
connected links is faulty, it sends a message to the primary node, notifying that the link is
broken. After receiving the message, the primary node clears the bridging table, enables
the slave interface, and sends control frames to the transport nodes, notifying them to clear
their own bridging tables. After that, the process of MAC address learning restarts in the
common mode.

ZESR Principle
In the case of a complete ZESR loop (the state of all links is up), the state of the ZESR
protocol is COMPLETE. If a fault occurs in the loop, the state of the ZESR protocol is
FAILED. Therefore, the link state of a loop determines the state of the ZESR protocol.
When the link state changes, the ZESR protocol performs link switching.
Fault detection mechanism of ZESR link: Its key mechanism is link-down. The Hello
timeout mechanism is not the default detection mechanism but it can be used after
configuration. As shown in Figure 11-2, when the interface between S3 and S4 is down,
S3 and S4 send link-down frames every 1s to the primary node S1 after detecting the
fault. After receiving the link-down frame, the S1 knows that a fault occurs on the link.
Figure 11-2 Loop Fault in ZESR Single-Ring Network
Meanwhile, the link-hello mechanism of ZESR can be configured as an assistant means

to detect the link state between two adjacent nodes. To be specific, it helps to detect the
link faults including monologue, deterioration, and cross transport device. The link-hello
packets are sent mutually at intervals between two adjacent nodes. If one node does
not receive the link-hello frame from the other node within the specified time, the node
considers that the link is faulty. In this case, the node sends link-down frames every 1s to
the primary node, notifying the link fault.
In the case of ZESR switching, the system performs operations on the interfaces and
instances protected by the domain. The instances described here are the same as those
of the STP. The ZESR uses the control VLAN as the unique ID of a domain and meanwhile
as the tag of a frame. To make full use of link bandwidth, multiple ZESR domains can be
configured on a same ring.

Figure 11-4 Loop Fault of ZESR Single-Ring
1. Fault troubleshooting in a single-ring network

When detecting a link fault, the node on the ring blocks the interface connected to
the faulty link and then sends a link-down frame to the primary node, notifying
that the link is faulty. After receiving the link-down frame or detecting that a
link connected with the primary node is faulty, the primary node performs link
switching. To be specific, it enables the standby link (the link fault does not occur
on the standby link), clears the bridge table, and sends a down-flush frame to
the transport node, notifying that link switching is performed on the ring. After
receiving the down-flush frame, the transport node clears the bridge table. If the
link connected to the slave interface on the primary node is faulty, the primary node
changes the ring state to FAILED and does not perform any other operation. As
shown in Figure 11-4, when the link between S3 and S4 is faulty, S3 and S4 block
the faulty interfaces respectively and send link-down frames to S1 at intervals.
After receiving the link-down frame, S1 enables the slave interface and sends a
down-flush frame from both the master and slave interfaces. After receiving the
down-flush frame, S2, S3, and S4 clear their own bridge table and learn MAC
addresses again.
2. Fault restoring in a single-ring network
When detecting that a link recovers, the node on the ring stops sending link-down
frames. If the primary node does not receive the link-down frame within the

timeout time (8s), it considers that the link recovers. In this case, the primary
node blocks the slave interface (if the fault occurs on the link connected to the
master interface on the primary node, the master interface must be enabled),
clears the bridge table of the slave interface, and sends an up-flush frame to the
transport node, notifying that the link recovers on the ring. After receiving the
up-flush frame, the transport node unblocks the interface and clears the bridge
table. When the loop changes fromFigure 11-4 to Figure 11-3, the link between
S3 and S4 recovers. In this case, S3 and S4 stop sending link-down frames. If
the primary node S1 does not receive the link-down frame within the timeout time,
it considers that the link recovers. To be specific, S1 blocks the slave interface,
clears the bridge table, and sends an up-flush frame from both the master and
slave interfaces. After receiving the up-flush frame, S2, S3, and S4 unblock the
interface and clear their own bridge table.
l ZESR Multi-Ring Principle
Figure 11-5 shows the ZESR multi-ring network topology.
Figure 11-5 ZESR Multi-Ring Network Topology
S1, S2, S3, and S4 form a master ring. S1 acts as the primary node, and S3, S4, S5
and S6 act as a slave ring with the level and segment of 1. S5 acts as the primary
node, S3 and S4 acts as edge assistant nodes. In addition, S3, S4, S6, and S7 form
a slave ring with the level of 2 and the segment of 1. S3 acts as an edge assistant
node, S4 acts as an edge control node. For a slave ring configured with an edge
control node, the functions of this node are similar to those of the primary node. The
state of the slave ring is determined by the edge control node after calculation. During
configuration for a domain on the slave ring, either of the primary node or the edge
control node is deployed. When the state of a slave ring is COMPLETE, the interface
of the edge control node is blocked.

Fault troubleshooting and recovery for a master ring: In the ZESR multi-ring network
topology, the fault troubleshooting and recovery for the master ring with the level
and segment of 0 are the same as those in the ZESR single-ring network topology
(described in the section "ZESR Single-Ring Principle"). The fault troubleshooting
and recovery do not affect the state of the slave ring.
Fault troubleshooting and recovery for a slave ring: When detecting a link fault, the
node on the slave ring blocks the interface connected with the faulty link and then
sends a link-down frame to the primary node (or the edge control node) and the edge
assistance node at intervals. After receiving the link-down frame, the primary node
(or the edge control node) enables the slave interface (or the access interface on the
edge control node) and meanwhile sends a down-flush frame (in the case of the edge
control node, it sends a down-flush frame to the two interfaces at the primary level).
After receiving the down-flush frame, the transport node and the edge assistance node
on the slave ring clear their own bridge table. If the state of the edge assistance node
is COMPLETE, the access interface is also used to send a down-flush frame to the two
interfaces at the primary level. When the transport node at the upper layer receives
the down-flush frame from the ring at a lower layer, it clears the bridge table on the
ring interface. In some cases, protocol frames are not processed no matter it is a
single-ring network or a multi-ring network.
à When the state of the master node or the edge control node is FAILED, it takes
no actions while receiving the link-down frame from the same layer.
à When the state of the transport node or the edge assistance node is FAILED, it
takes no actions while receiving the down-flush frame from the same layer.
à When the state of the transport node or the edge assistance node is COMPLETE,
it takes no actions while receiving the up-flush frame from the current layer.
Fault troubleshoot and recovery for a slave ring: When detecting that a link recovers,
the node on the slave ring stops sending link-down frames. If the primary node (or
the edge control node) does not receive the link-down frame within the timeout time,
it considers that the link recovers. In this case, the primary node blocks the slave
interface (or, the edge control node blocks the access interface), clears the bridge
table on the slave interface (or access interface on the edge control node), and then
sends an up-flush frame to both the master and slave interfaces (access interface
and the two interfaces at the upper layer in the case of the edge control node). After
receiving the up-flush frame, the transport node or the edge assistance node on the
slave ring unblocks the interface and clears the bridge table of the ring interface. After
receiving the up-flush frame, the transport node at the upper layer clears the bridge
table.
l Relations Between ZESR and STP
Both the ZESR and the STP implement data forwarding and blocking by configuring
the status of an STP instance on the interface. Therefore, the ZESR and the STP
are mutually exclusive based on interface + instance. That is, an interface instance
managed by ZESR will not be calculated by the STP. However, its STP state will be

calculated by the ZESR. The protection instance used by the ZESR is configured
based on the STP protocol. Therefore, when the ZESR protocol is used, a protection
instance can take effect only after the STP is enabled globally. Except the interface
instances managed by the ZESR, the STP state of other interface instances is
managed by the STP protocol, which avoids a loop.
11.2 Configuring a ZESR

To configure a ZESR on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#zesr Enters ZESR configuration

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> Configures the protection

protect-instance <0-64> instance of a ZESR domain.
Use the no zesr ctrl-vlan
<1-4094> protect-instance
command to delete the
protection instance.
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> snooping Enables associating ZESR

vpls {enable | disable} with VPLS. If the function
is enabled, when the node
receives flush packets, it
notifies the VPLS to recalculate
links. By default, the function
is disabled.
3 ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> major-level Configures the role and

role {master | transit}<port1><port2> interface for a ZESR node
on the master ring. Use the
no zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094>
major-level command to delete
the configuration.
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> level <1-2> Configures the role and

seg <1-4> role {master | transit}<port1><port2> interface for a ZESR node on
the slave ring. Use the no zesr
ctrl-vlan <1-4094> level <1-2>
seg <1-4> command to delete
the configuration.
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> level <1-2> Configures the role and

seg <1-4> role {edge-control | edge-assistant}<port1> interface for a ZESR node at
the access layer. Use the no

Note:
The control VLAN of ZESR is special. It can be used only by the ZESR. In addition to
the control VLAN trunked on a ring interface, other interfaces cannot use this VLAN. A
ZESR ring interface cannot work in the QinQ mode. In addition, to improve switching
performance, the detection mode of a ZESR interface must be configured to fast and the
function of broadcast and unicast suppression must be configured for all the ring interfaces
and traffic interfaces.
ZESR can be associated with VPLS for only boundary nodes at the access layer.
11.3 Maintaining a ZESR

To maintain the ZESR function on the ZXR10 5900E, run the following commands:
Command Function
ZXR10#show zesr brief Displays brief information about all

domains of ZESR.
ZXR10#show zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> Displays detailed information

about a specified domain of ZESR.
ZXR10#show zesr port-mode [<port>] Displays property configuration of

a ZESR interface.
brief Displays brief information about all domains of ZESR.
ctrl-vlan <1-4094> Displays detailed information about a specified domain of

ZESR.
port-mode [<port>] Displays property configuration of a ZESR interface. <port>

is an optional parameter. If it is not specified, the system
shows property configuration of all ZESR interfaces.
The following is sample output from the show zesr brief command:
ZXR10(config)#show zesr brief

ctrl-vlan: 100 protectinstance: 1 snoop-vpls: disable

11.4 ZESR Configuration Example

The ZESR configuration includes the STP instance, control VLAN trunked on an interface,
and interface properties. Therefore, this section provides an example for configuring the
STP, interface VLAN, and other parameters.
Configure instance 1 with the VLAN ranging from 1 to 1000. The detailed STP configuration
is shown below.
ZXR10(config)#spantree
ZXR10(config-stp)#enable
ZXR10(config-stp)#mst vlans 1-1000 instance 1
If VLAN 4001 is used as the control VLAN of a ZESR domain and instance 1 is used as
the protection instance, the ZESR interface must trunk the control VLAN and the VLAN
contained in the protection instance. The detailed configuration is shown below.
ZXR10(config-swvlan-intf)#switchport mode trunk
ZXR10(config-swvlan-intf)#switchport trunk vlan 4001,1-1000
Configure the broadcast and unknown unicast suppression properties of an instance

interface:
ZXR10(config-swvlan-intf)#switchport mode trunk
ZXR10(config-swvlan-intf)#switchport trunk vlan 4001,1-1000
The above configurations are used as pre-configuration requirements of subsequent

configuration examples and will not be described again.

11.4.1 Configuring Basic Single-Ring ZESR

Figure 11-6 shows a network topology with the ZESR single ring. In the network, S1
acts as the primary ZESR node, and S2, S3, and S4 act as ZESR transport nodes. It is
recommended that users configure the master node and edge control nodes before other
types of nodes are configured.
1. Enter the ZESR config mode and configure the control VLAN and protection instance
of the ZESR domain.
2. Configure the level, segment, role, and interface of the ZESR node.
3. If there are other functional requirements, configure the ZESR properties further.
ZXR10(config)#zesr
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan 4001 protect-instance 1
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan 4001 major-level role master gei-0/1/1/1 gei-0/1/1/2

ZXR10(config)#zesr
ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan 4001 major-level role transit gei-0/1/1/1 gei-0/1/1/2
The configuration of S3 and S4 is similar to that of S2 and therefore will not be described
again.

11.4.2 Configuring Basic Single-Ring ZESR

Figure 11-7 shows a network topology with multiple rings. S1, S2, S3, and S4 form a
master ring. S1 acts as the primary node, and S2, S3, and S4 act as transport nodes.
To be specific, S3, S4, and S5 form a slave ring with the level and segment of 1. S3
acts as an edge assistant node, S4 acts as an edge control node, and S5 acts as a
transport node. The master ring configuration for S1 and S2 is the same as the single-ring
configuration described in section Configuring Basic Single-Ring ZESR. Therefore, this
section describes only an example of master and slave ring configuration for S3, S4, and
S5.

12.1 ZESS Overview

Introduction to ZESS
The ZTE Smart Switch (ZESS) is an Ethernet smart switching technology. As shown in
Figure 12-1, node 1 supports the ZESS function, interface 1 acts as the master interface,
and interface 2 acts as a slave interface. When detecting that the master and slave
interfaces are both up, node 1 blocks the data forwarding function on the slave interface.
When detecting that the master interface is down, node 1 blocks the master interface and
enables the slave interface. When detecting that the master interface recovers, node
1 determines whether to enable the master interface and re-block the slave interface
according to the configured ZESS mode. When performing link switching, the ZESS must
update the bridge table of the blocked interface.
Figure 12-1 ZESS Network Topology
ZESS Principle
The ZESS uses a backup link to transmit data when the active link is faulty, which protects
network connectivity. In addition, the ZESS uses a protection instance to protect the data
transmitted over network. The instance used by the ZESS is the same as that used by the
STP.

When both of the active and standby links work normally, the ZESS blocks the standby link
and forwards data by using the active link. When the active link is faulty, the ZESS blocks
the active link and forwards data by using the standby link, and meanwhile clears the bridge
table of the active link. When the active link recovers, the ZESS perform operations bases
on the configured mode (revertive or non-revertive). In the revertive mode, the ZESS
blocks the standby link, enables the active link, and meanwhile clears the bridge table of
the standby link. In the non-revertive mode, the ZESS does not perform active/standby
switching.
Both the ZESS and the STP implement data forwarding and blocking by configuring
the status of an STP instance on the interface. Therefore, the ZESS and the STP are
mutually exclusive based on interface + instance. That is, an interface instance managed
by ZESS will not be calculated by the STP. However, its STP state will be calculated by
the ZESS. The protection instance used by the ZESS is configured based on the STP
protocol. Therefore, when the ZESS protocol is used, a protection instance can take
effect only after the STP is enabled globally. Except the interface instances managed by
the ZESS, the STP state of other interface instances is managed by the STP protocol,
which avoids a loop.
12.2 Configuring ZESS

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands to configure the ZESS.
1 ZXR10(config)#zess This enters the ZESS config

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-zess)#zess domain <1-16> This configures the protection

protect-instance <0-64> instance of a ZESS domain.
The no zess domain <1-16>
command can be used to clear
configuration.
3 ZXR10(config-zess)#zess domain <1-16> member This configures the interface

primary <port1> secondary <port2> of a ZESS domain. The no
zess domain <1-16>member
configuration.
ZXR10(config-zess)#zess domain <1-16> mode <revertive This configures the ZESS

| non-revertive> revertive mode. The default
value is revertive.
ZXR10(config-zess)#zess domain <1-16> preup <1-900> This configures the preup time
of ZESS. The default value is
2s

ZESS domain.
For the above ZESS commands, the parameter names are the same. Therefore, these
parameters will not be described repeatedly in the following tables. The ZESS uses domain
ID as the unique ID of a domain.
The command parameters in step 2 are described as follows.
domain<1-16> Configures the ID of a ZESS domain.
protect-instance <0-64> Configures the protection instance of a domain, which is the same
as the STP instance in terms of parameter value.
member primary <port1> Configures the primary interface of a ZESR domain.
secondary <port2> Configures the secondary interface of a ZESR domain.
mode <revertive | non-revertive> Configures the revertive mode of a ZESS domain. The available
options are revertive and non-revertive. The default value is
revertive.
preup <1-900> Configures the preup time of a ZESS domain. The value of this
parameter ranges from 1s to 900s. The default value is 2s.
port-detect {normal | fast} Configures the detection mode of a ZESS interface. The available
options are normal and fast. The default value is normal.

Caution!
To improve the switching performance of ZESS, the detection mode of a ZESS interface
must be configured to fast. In addition, the properties of broadcast and unicast
suppression must be configured for the ZESS interface and the peer interface of the link.
In addition, the STP function must be disabled for the peer interface of the ZESS link.
Otherwise, data forwarding will be affected during switching.
12.3 ZESS Maintenance

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands to maintain the ZESS.
Command Function
ZXR10#show zess brief This shows brief information about

all domains of ZESS.
ZXR10#show zess domain [<1-16>] This shows detailed information

about a specified domain of ZESS.
The parameters in the above command are described as follows.

13.1 ZESR+ Overview

Introduction to ZESR+
In the uplink direction of the core network and backbone network in a metropolitan area
network (MAN), two uplink interface on a switch are usually connected with two BRAS or
SR devices respectively. In this way, the ZESS can be used to implement dual-protection
in the uplink direction. This connection mode implements protection for the upstream link,
SR, or BRAS but has a risk that a single-point failure may occur on the switch to the
BRAS or SR in the uplink direction. In an actual network scheme, the egress interfaces
connected to a same SR or BRAS are distributed on two switches respectively. In this
way, the protection function with dual nodes and dual upstream links is implemented, that
is, the ZSER+ described in this topic.
As shown in Figure 13-1, two switches (S1 and S4) in the ring network are connected to
the SR and BRAS in the uplink direction, which implements protection for the upstream
links of the SR and BRAS. Suppose that the link from S1 to the SR is broken. In this case,
the traffic on this link will be automatically transmitted to the SR through S4. By using the
protection function with dual nodes and dual upstream links, the system can implement
switching within 50 ms when an upstream link is faulty.

Figure 13-1 ZESR+ Network Topology
ZESR+ Principle
When the dual-node and dual-uplink ZESR+ protocol is working, two roles are available:
primary node ZESS-MASTER and transport node ZESS-TRANSIT. The nodes use the
Hello packet and interface detection function to detect link status. When the link works
properly, the primary node blocks the slave interface and enables the master interface.
At this time, the transport node enables both of the master and slave interfaces. When
detecting a link fault, the transport node blocks the interface connected with the faulty link,
clears the bridge table, and sends a link-down frame to the primary node notifying the
fault information. After receiving the link-down frame, the primary node enables the slave
interface, clears the bridge table, and sends a down-flush frame. When detecting a link
fault, the primary node actively performs link switching. The format of frames used by the
ZESR+ and the specific meanings are the same as those of the ZESR. The ZESR+ is
quite similar to the ZESR master ring in terms of function. Therefore, the ZESR+ can work
together with the ZESR.
Figure 13-2 shows a typical network topology of the ZESR+ with dual nodes and dual
upstream links. S2 is a ZESS-MASTER node and S3 is a ZESS-TRANSIT node.
The ZESR+ protects upstream links and transport node S3 sends protocol packets to S2
through the master interface. Therefore, when the ZESR+ is working, you must configure
the master interface on the link where the two nodes are directly connected. Otherwise,
an error occurs in the protocol.

Both the ZESR+ and the STP implement data forwarding and blocking by configuring the
status of an STP instance on the interface. Therefore, the ZESR+ and the STP are mutually
exclusive based on interface + instance. That is, an interface instance managed by ZESR+
will not be calculated by the STP. However, its STP state will be calculated by the ZESR+.
The protection instance used by the ZESR+ is configured based on the STP protocol.
Therefore, when the ZESR+ protocol is used, a protection instance can take effect only
after the STP is enabled globally. Except the interface instances managed by the ZESR+,
the STP state of other interface instances is managed by the STP protocol, which avoids
a loop.
13.2 Configuring ZESR+

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands to configure the ZESR+.
1 ZXR10(config)#zesr This enters the ZESR config

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-zesr)#zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> This configures the protection

protect-instance <0-64> instance of a ZESR+ domain.
The no zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094>
protect-instance command can
be used to clear configuration.

The parameters of ZESR+ commands are almost the same as those of ZESR commands
in terms of parameter meaning. In a command, the role of a node is uniquely used to
distinguish whether a domain belongs to ZESR+ or ZESR.
role {zess-master | zess-transit} Configures the role of a ZESR+ domain node. ZESS-MASTER
refers to the primary node and ZESS-TRANSIT refers to a
transport node.
13.3 ZESR+ Maintenance

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands to maintain the ZESR+.
Command Function
ZXR10#show zesr brief This shows brief information about

all domains of ZESR or ZESR+.
ZXR10#show zesr ctrl-vlan <1-4094> This shows detailed information

about a specified domain of ZESR

Caution!
During ZESR+ node configuration, because of special application scenarios of ZESR+,
you must configure the master interface to the link that directly connects the two nodes.
Other configuration requirements are similar to those of ZESR.
13.4 ZESR+ Configuration Example

Figure 13-3 shows a typical network topology of the ZESR+ with dual nodes and dual
upstream links. S1 is a common switch. S1, S2, and S3 form a virtual master ring. The
ZESR+ function is working on S2 and S3. To be specific, S2, S3, and S4 form a slave ring
with the level and segment of 1. S4 acts as the primary node, and S2 and S3 act as edge
assistant nodes.

14.1 LinkGroup Overview

LinkGroup is an interface management function. It uses an interface linkage group to link
interface states, which effectively monitors the link status. When working together with link
protection protocols such as ZESS, it can protect the link layer in a better way to ensure
network connectivity.
The LinkGroup configures an uplink interface group and a downlink interface group to link
the states of interfaces in the two groups. If all the interfaces in the uplink interface group
are up or down, the states of interfaces in the downlink interface group are configured to
up or down accordingly. By the operation performed on the state of a downlink interface,
the fault that occurs on the upstream link can be sensed quickly by the downstream link.
In this way, the link layer protocol can sense topology changes.
14.2 Configuring LinkGroup

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following commands to configure a LinkGroup.
1 ZXR10(config)#linkage This enters the LinkGroup

config mode.
2 ZXR10(config-linkage)#group <1-8> downlink <port> This configures the downlink

interface for a LinkGroup of an
interface. The system supports
eight LinkGroups at most and
each LinkGroup supports up to
16 downlink interfaces.

or a SmartGroup interface.
The command for clearing configuration in step 4 is the same as the above commands in
terms of description.
14.3 LinkGroup Maintenance

On the ZXR10 5900E, use the following command to maintain the LinkGroup.
Command Function
ZXR10(config)#show linkage-group [<1-8>] This shows the LinkGroup

information of an interface. If no
LinkGroup ID is specified, the
system shows the information of
all LinkGroups.
linkage-group <1-8> Configures a LinkGroup ID. The system supports up to eight

LinkGroups.

14.4 LinkGroup Configuration Example

As shown in Figure 14-1, the data from interfaces gei-0/1/1/3 and gei-0/1/1/3 on S1 is
forwarded to the upper-layer device through interfaces gei-0/1/1/1 and gei-0/1/1/2. In
addition, the downstream link must sense the fault that occurs on the upstream link. In
this way, a LinkGroup can be configured on an interface to make the downstream link
sense the changes on the upstream link. Interfaces gei-0/1/1/1 and gei-0/1/1/2 are uplink
interfaces, and interfaces gei-0/1/1/3 and gei-0/1/1/4 are downlink interfaces.

15.1 L2PT Overview

Introduction to L2PT
L2PT is a protocol that allows BPDU packets to be transmitted in a layer-2 network
transparently. At the ingress of a BPDU tunnel, L2PT substitutes the MAC address
configured by the users for the original destination MAC address of a BPDU packet.
The packet is transmitted through the BPDU tunnel after being encapsulated. At the
egress of the BPDU tunnel, after receiving and recognizing the packet, L2PT restores
the original destination MAC address of the BPDU packet, and forwards the packet
to the corresponding user network. L2PT achieves transparent transmission of BPDU
packets that use layer-2 management protocols at layer-2 switching networks. L2PT is
independent of the types of layer-2 management protocols, so the applicable layer-2
management protocols provide high extensibility and flexibility.
L2PT Principle
As shown in Figure 15-1, the destination MAC address of the BPDU packets sent from
fei-0/1/0/1 on customer switch A is substituted by the MAC address configured by the users
on edge switch B. After that, the packets are broadcast in the VLAN of the receiving port.
The packets pass across the service provider network, and arrive at edge switch C. On
edge switch C, the original destination MAC addresses of the BPDU packets are restored,
and then the packets are sent to fei-0/1/0/4 of customer switch D from fei-0/1/0/3. It looks
like that customer switch A and customer switch D are connected directly. In this way,
BPDU packets of layer-2 management protocols are transmitted transparently on layer-2
switching networks.

16.1 GVRP Overview

GARP Overview
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) provides a method of dynamically
distributing, transmitting, and registering an attribute between members belonging to
the same switching network. The attribute can be a characteristic such as the VLAN,
multicast MAC address, and port filtering mode. GARP can carry multiple attributes
that need to be transmitted by switches, so the GARP functions are provided by GARP
application protocols.
GVRP Overview
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is an application protocol defined by GARP. It
dynamically maintains VLAN information on switches based on the protocol mechanism
of GARP. Each switch supporting the GVRP function can receive VLAN registration
information from other switches and dynamically update the local VLAN registration
information, including the VLANs on the switch and the ports in each VLAN. Each
switch supporting the GVRP function can send the local VLAN registration information
to other switches, so that all devices supporting the GVRP function in the same
switching network reach an agreement on intercommunity in VLAN configuration as
needed. VLAN registration information transmitted through GVRP includes static VLAN
information manually configured on the local device and dynamic VLAN information
from other switches. With the GVRP function, VLAN information on different switches
can be dynamically maintained and updated through the protocol. Users only need to
configure VLAN information on a few switches, and the configuration can be applied
on the entire network. Users do not need to spend a lot of time in topology analysis
and configuration management. The protocol dynamically transmits VLAN information
and adds configuration to the corresponding ports based on VLAN configuration on the
network.
GVRP provides the following port registration types, normal, fixed, and forbidden.

1. Normal: A port whose registration type is normal can process received GVRP
messages. On this port, VLANs can be created and registered, and VLAN registration
can be canceled.
2. Fixed: A port whose registration type of a port is fixed ignores all GVRP messages, but
the port remains registration state. VLANs can be created and registered manually.
VLAN registration is disallowed on the port, and VLANs known on this port cannot be
registered on other ports.
3. Forbidden: A port whose registration type of a port is forbidden ignores all GVRP
messages. The registration state of the port is EMPTY. On this port, registration of all
VLANs is canceled, and VLANs are disallowed to be created or registered.
16.2 Configuring GVRP

To configure GVRP on the ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps:
1 ZXR10(config)#garp Enters GVRP configuration mode.
2 ZXR10(config-garp)#gvrp {enable | disable} Enables or disables the GVRP function.
3 ZXR10(config-garp)#interface Enables or disables the GVRP function on

<interface-name> an interface. To enable the GVRP function
ZXR10(config-garp-if-interface- on an interface, the mode of the interface
name)#gvrp enable must be trunk, and the global GVRP function
must be enabled.
4 ZXR10(config-garp-if-interface- Configures the registration mode of the
