The command show crypto isakmp sa shows all of the ISAKMP security associations.

Router1#show crypto isakmp sa

And you can look at the IPSec security associations with this command:

Router1#show crypto ipsec sa

Even if you aren't using a key management protocol such as ISAKMP, you can see information on all of the active IPSec connections with the following command:

Router1#show crypto engine connections active

And this closely related command will tell you about packet drops within the encryption engine:

Router1#show crypto engine connections dropped-packet

The show crypto map command gives information about all of the IPSec crypto maps that you have configured on your router, whether or not they are in use:

Router1#show crypto map

And you can specify a particular crypto map with the tag keyword:

Router1#show crypto map tag TUNNELMAP

For information about dynamic crypto maps, you can use the following command:

Router1#show crypto dynamic-map

The show crypto isakmp sa command lets you see information about the current state of any ISAKMP key exchanges that the router is involved in:

Router1#show crypto isakmp sa

dst             src             state           conn-id    slot

172.22.1.4      172.22.1.3      QM_IDLE               1       0

Router1#

Table 12-3 shows all of the possible ISAKMP SA states.

We used Main Mode in all of the examples in this chapter. Aggressive Mode allows faster SA setup by combining SA parameter negotiation, key exchange, and authentication information into the same packet. This has the disadvantage of not hiding the identity information on the peer devices, however. In Main Mode exchanges, this identity information is exchanged separately in encrypted form. Main Mode is the default. Because the extra overhead is minimal, you generally don't need to resort to Aggressive Mode for ISAKMP.

Quick Mode is only possible after the initial ISAKMP exchange has happened at least once. The routers then use this mode when periodically renegotiating the SA information of an SA that has been active for a while. Quick Mode can take advantage of the existing SA to encrypt its exchange.

Use the following rather verbose command to look at IPSec Security Associations:

Router1#show crypto ipsec sa

There is clearly a lot of information in this output. It breaks out the inbound and outbound information, and shows what crypto maps have been applied to which interfaces. It also includes information about the number of packets that the router has been both sent and received, as well as how much time remains before the SA must be renegotiated.

The show crypto engine commands allow you to see some of this same information in a more compact form. With the connections active keywords, this command tells you what interfaces are involved in IPSec SA's, the peer IP addresses, the algorithms used, and the number of packets sent and received through the encryption engine:

Router1#show crypto engine connections active

  ID Interface       IP-Address      State  Algorithm           Encrypt  Decrypt

   1 <none>          <none>          set    HMAC_SHA+3DES_56_C        0        0

2088 FastEthernet0/1 172.22.1.3      set    HMAC_SHA+3DES_56_C        0        5

2089 FastEthernet0/1 172.22.1.3      set    HMAC_SHA+3DES_56_C      202        0

Router1#

With the connections dropped-packet keywords, you get some simple statistics on dropped packets. In the following example, the encryption engine was forced to drop five packets because the router tried to send them before it had a valid connection:

Router1#show crypto engine connections dropped-packet

Packets dropped because of connection not established:

Interface            IP-Address           Drop Count

FastEthernet0/1      172.22.1.3                    5

Router1#

The command show crypto map displays information about all of the configured crypto maps on the router, including which interfaces are currently using them. Note that just because a particular interface is using a particular crypto map, this does not imply that there are any active IPSec SAs. It only means that you have applied this map to this interface by using the crypto map interface configuration command:

Router1#show crypto map

        Interfaces using crypto map VPN-MAP:

Crypto Map "CRYPTOMAP" 10 ipsec-isakmp

        Dynamic map template tag: VPN-USER-MAP

        Interfaces using crypto map CRYPTOMAP:

Crypto Map "TUNNELMAP" 10 ipsec-isakmp

        Peer = 172.22.1.4

        Extended IP access list 116

            access-list 116 permit gre host 172.22.1.3 host 172.22.1.4

        Current peer: 172.22.1.4

        Security association lifetime: 4608000 kilobytes/3600 seconds

        PFS (Y/N): N

        Transform sets={ TUNNEL-TRANSFORM, }

        Interfaces using crypto map TUNNELMAP:

                FastEthernet0/1

Router1#

If you have several crypto maps configured on your router, you can look at a particular one with the tag keyword:

Router1#show crypto map tag TUNNELMAP

Crypto Map "TUNNELMAP" 10 ipsec-isakmp

        Peer = 172.22.1.4

        Extended IP access list 116

            access-list 116 permit gre host 172.22.1.3 host 172.22.1.4

        Current peer: 172.22.1.4

        Security association lifetime: 4608000 kilobytes/3600 seconds

        PFS (Y/N): N

        Transform sets={ TUNNEL-TRANSFORM, }

        Interfaces using crypto map TUNNELMAP:

                FastEthernet0/1

Router1#

And if there are any dynamic maps, you can see more information about them with the following command:

Router1#show crypto dynamic-map

Crypto Map Template"VPN-USER-MAP" 50

        Extended IP access list 115

            access-list 115 permit tcp any port = 80 any

            access-list 115 permit tcp any any port = 80

            access-list 115 deny ip any 224.0.0.0 31.255.255.255

        Current peer: 0.0.0.0

        Security association lifetime: 4608000 kilobytes/3600 seconds

The first is to use static routes for the tunnel destination address:

Router1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router1(config)#interface Tunnel1

Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.35.6 255.255.255.252

Router1(config-if)#tunnel source 172.25.1.5

Router1(config-if)#tunnel destination 172.22.1.2

Router1(config-if)#exit

Router1(config)#ip route 172.22.1.2 255.255.255.255 172.25.1.1

Router1(config)#router eigrp 55

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.35.0

Router1(config-router)#exit

Router1(config)#end

Router1#

The second method simply excludes the tunnel's IP address range from the routing protocol. You can then run a different routing protocol for the addresses that you want to pass through the tunnel:

Router1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router1(config)#interface Tunnel1

Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.35.6 255.255.255.252

Router1(config-if)#tunnel source 172.25.1.5

Router1(config-if)#tunnel destination 172.22.1.2

Router1(config-if)#exit

Router1(config)#router eigrp 55

Router1(config-router)#network 172.22.0.0

Router1(config-router)#network 172.25.0.0

Router1(config-router)#end

Router1(config)#router rip

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.35.0

Router1(config-router)#exit

Router1(config)#end

Router1#

And the third solution is to filter the routes of the supporting network to prevent them from passing through the tunnel:

Router1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Router1(config)#interface Tunnel1

Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.35.6 255.255.255.252

Router1(config-if)#tunnel source 172.25.1.5

Router1(config-if)#tunnel destination 172.22.1.2

Router1(config-if)#exit

Router11(config)#ip prefix-list TUNNELROUTES seq 10 permit 192.168.0.0/16 ge 17

Router1(config)#router eigrp 55

Router1(config-router)#network 172.22.0.0

Router1(config-router)#network 172.25.0.0

Router1(config-router)#network 192.168.35.0

Router1(config-router)#distribute-list prefix TUNNELROUTES out Tunnel1

Router1(config-router)#exit

Router1(config)#end

Router1#

you have to be careful when using a dynamic routing protocol anywhere near a GRE tunnel to avoid the dreaded recursive routing error message, which brings down the tunnel. This happens because the routers need to have a good path through the network to carry the tunnel to its destination. In addition, this path cannot go through the tunnel itself. But the problem is that because the tunnel forms a virtual connection that directly connects two routers, the path through the tunnel is almost always shorter than any path that goes through the real physical network.

The other way to look at the problem of recursive routing is to think about what the router has to do to a packet that it wants to send through the tunnel. It wraps this packet in the payload of a GRE packet, and it puts the tunnel's destination address in the header of this GRE packet. Then it looks in its routing table to find out where to send this packet. If it finds that the best path is through the tunnel, then it must take this GRE packet and wrap it in the payload of a GRE packet whose destination address is the tunnel destination, and so on. This makes it difficult to deliver the original packet, so the router shuts down the tunnel interface to avoid having to stuff an infinite number of GRE headers onto the front of the packet.

There are two extremely simple solutions to this problem, but they aren't always applicable. You can use static routes to connect to the tunnel destination, which allows you to force the tunnel traffic to go the right way. Or you can prevent the routing protocol from passing through the tunnel either by using a separate IP address range or with access lists. These two options are the first two examples in the Solutions section of this recipe.

Note that we have used a specific host route for the destination IP address to ensure that it always uses the right path:

Router1(config)#ip route 172.22.1.2 255.255.255.255 172.25.1.1

The problem with this solution is that it might eliminate some of your network redundancy. For example, if there are several paths to the router that holds the tunnel's destination, using a static route like this might mean that your tunnel will fail if there is a topology change in the network affecting the manually selected path. In many cases, you can get around this problem by pointing the static route at a carefully selected downstream destination address. But then you run the risk that the router will learn about this downstream destination address through the tunnel, in which case we're back at square one.

The second simple solution is to simply exclude the tunnel from your routing protocol. In the example, we gave the tunnel an IP address that doesn't belong to the same address range as the source or destination addresses. This makes excluding the tunnel from the routing protocol relatively easy.

In the second example, by simply not including the 192.168.35.0/24 network in any of the EIGRP network commands, we prevent the tunnel from taking part in the routing protocol. We could also exclude the interface from the routing protocol using a distribute list.

However, sometimes these simple solutions are not appropriate. Some network topologies require that you use a routing protocol both inside and outside of the tunnel. For example, if you use VPNs to construct your WAN, either through a private or a public IP network, you will probably have to have both.

The best way to approach this type of situation is to start by ensuring that the ranges of IP addresses are distinct. For example, if the network that supports the tunnel uses public addressing, you could use private addressing for routes that need to be learned through the tunnel. Then you can apply a filter to prevent the routes for the supporting network from passing through the tunnel.

There are two ways to accomplish this. One is simply to use distinct routing protocols inside and outside of the tunnel, and not redistribute between the protocols. For example, the routing protocol outside of the tunnel could be BGP, while the tunneled network uses OSPF or EIGRP through the tunnel, or EIGRP and RIP, as in the example above.

But another method is necessary if the two sets of routes use the same routing protocol, or if you need to redistribute. With distance vector type interior routing protocols such as EIGRP and RIP, you can apply a route distribution filter to the tunnel interface to block the supporting network's routes. Note that EIGRP is much more sophisticated than a simple distance vector protocol like RIP. But this kind of route filtering is not possible with link state protocols such as OSPF, so this is one place where EIGRP's distance vector roots come in handy.

In the example, we have shown how to do this using a prefix list with EIGRP. This will permit only the 192.168.0.0/16 range of IP addresses to pass through the tunnel, while information about the 172.22.0.0/16 and 172.25.0.0/16 networks that form the support network is never learned through the tunnel. You should apply this type of filter to both ends of the tunnel:

Router11(config)#ip prefix-list TUNNELROUTES seq 10 permit 192.168.0.0/16 ge 17

Router1(config)#router eigrp 55

Router1(config-router)#network 172.22.0.0

Router1(config-router)#network 172.25.0.0

Router1(config-router)#distribute-list prefix TUNNELROUTES out Tunnel1

CCIE examination entails two assessments, which might be a CCIE penned look at and a CCIE lab test. To be able to try the lab exam, you ought to obvious the authored exam. If you're not inside of a situation to obvious the composed examination the primary time, it's best to see for any hundred and eighty days for retaking it. Immediately after clearing the prepared take a look at, it's recommended for making an strive for that CCIE lab exam inside of 18 months. It you are not able to obvious the lab examination, then you definitely should certainly re-try within twelve months that has a see to maintain the created examination result legitimate.

It has a time prohibit of two hours and it is carried out in lots of take a look at centers across the world. The topics lined within the authored examination rely on the specialization or monitor you decide on. For services provider, it's possible you'll pick out from categories like Cable, DSL, IP Telephony, Dial, Written content materials Networking, Optical, WAN switching, and Metro Ethernet. Every single composed test is built on the market within the beta sort at a value of $50 USD.

The CCIE lab test is unique in naturel, as it's an eight-hour exam, which tests the facility of your candidate to configure and troubleshoot networking devices. Cisco has huge diploma of package in its CCIE labs to be used around the lab exams. The blue print of your lab examination is obtainable on its online site. The lab examination is not on the market whatsoever Pearson VUE or Prometric testing centers.

A common CCIE R&S lab examination contains a two-hour hassle-taking pictures section by which you will be presented a collection of tickets for preconfigured networks in the CCIE labs. You need to have the ability to identify and resolve the faults. You can proceed towards the configuration part upon you end the troubleshooting part.

A sound passing score is critical to try a CCIE Labs exam. Cisco uses the help of proctors to guage the candidates around the preliminary rounds in its CCIE labs located worldwide. Factors are awarded when a criterion is met and grading is carried out implementing some computerized tools. The outcomes of a lab examination are mirrored inside forty eight hours. A move/fail is projected inside the end consequence and in case of a fail, the areas where you might be lacking behind are talked about so as to put together properly earlier than a re-try.

Cisco stands out throughout the discipline of networking by providing a CCIE certification so that you can pursue your education as well as get acknowledged by a reputed organization. The CCIE lab examination can be utilized as being a platform to challenge your capability in varied tracks provided by Cisco. Attempting a lab examination requires rigorous coaching and significant sense of understanding. The CCIE labs variety step one to your substantial potential career.

The biggest problem with RSVP is that it doesn't scale well when you have a large number of reservations. This is a good model at the edge of the network, but in the middle of the network, where there could be a huge number of flows to keep track of, it would be preferable to use traditional DSCP-based packet marking and queuing.

However, it is not sufficient to just run RSVP at the edges of the network and use a pure DSCP model in the core. Consider a model in which traffic must cross from one RSVP network region through the traditional DSCP core to another RSVP region. A reservation request originating in the first RSVP region will not reach the second region if the core doesn't support RSVP. Consequently, it is not possible to guarantee end-to-end quality of service.

Cisco introduced a new feature to get around this problem in IOS Version 12.2(2)T. The key is to configure RSVP on the core routers so that they can relay RSVP requests back and forth between the edge regions, but to instruct them not to actually use the RSVP information when queuing packets.

There are two commands required to do this, and they must be configured on every interface that will be forwarding RSVP packets through the core network region:

Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0

Router2(config-if)#ip rsvp data-packet classification none

Router2(config-if)#ip rsvp resource-provider none

For example, in an MPLS network, you might want to use this type of configuration on the PE routers. This would allow all of the routers on the customer premises to support traditional RSVP, while the MPLS network core would prioritize based on its own internal classes of service.

CCIE Bootcamps supply essentially the foremost practical technique of passing out the checks of CCIE. You can find quite a lot of corporations reasonably institutes which supply CCIE Bootcamp instruction similar to Cathay Faculty. With a look at to increase for being qualified for the bootcamps the institutes sometimes current a prerequisite. It can help to boost the prospect on the applicants to move the CCIE exams within a more significant way than other folks. This prerequisite is known as CCNP status.

The related fee for using the CCIE Safety test is substantial, so most candidates go for the planning class to cross it in one sitting. Some unbiased companies and establishments deliver programs and workshop to people making a choice on CCIE Protection instruction. Nevertheless, most candidates choose to make the most of the instructor-led and on-line workshops, which Cisco offer, for a portion of Licensed Studying Companions application. The education possibilities are provided plus the educators are accepted by Cisco.

For that CCIE Safety certification, you have got to register for the composed examination on your room of specialization. All the exams are carried out on the Cisco approved facility, which also accepts expenditure for the test. The cost of taking a CCIE published examination is from $80 to $325. The developed examination is supervised and done on a personal computer. It really is of 1 or two hours paper made up of various selections, drag and drop doubts and fill from the blanks. Apart from white boards and markers for calculations, like a candidate for CCIE Safety coaching examination, you aren't authorized to hold another merchandise for the examination corridor.

CCIE Bootcamp is accompanied having a variety of systems to deliver the simplest planning substance with the pupils. They largely present some must-have publications to arrange them for the composed CCIE take a glance at jointly with some world wide web entry for that Lab examination. Relying on these two classes the CCIE Bootcamps is divided into two sections. The divisions are class development plus the Lab simulation. The category building calls for two phases and they're fingers-on coaching and lectured-based mostly lessons. In the category structure the pupils are supplied together with the data of Bit splitting, VLSM and many others. However the lab simulation is important portion of CCIE Bootcamp. Here the students are subjected to cope with many real-life challenges and therefore the troubleshooting talents are checked appropriately. That is definitely the final phase of CCIE Bootcamps the spot the students are nicely-prepared for your Blueprintv4, MPLS etcetera. These methodologies assistance students to troubleshoot any real-life troubles and enhance the power to discover the appropriate remedies.

But there's couple of trustworthy institutes obtainable readily available around the promote which offers comprehensive CCIE Bootcamps. Among a number of properly-renowned institutes is Cathay Faculty which renders extremely excellent institutions in the event of bootcamps for CCIE. They provide bootcamp services to surprisingly great number of university students from many different corners of the world like Australia, Norway, Uk, Sweden, USA and countless alot more. In accordance with all the data of this institute from 2005, they are sustaining document various proportion of passing amount in CCIE test. This file is by itself a sort of assure for them. There are many brings about to choose out Cathay Faculty for CCIE Bootcamps. The report number of passing fee of just about 90% is considered the most enticing operate of it. Apart from it, a particular other fantastic characteristic is definitely the one-to-one lab coaching which benefit the college students to filter out every one of the doubts in relation to any downside with the instructors.

The needed knowledge associated with the bootcamp is available to the reliable firm web page that is cathayschool.com. This is a tremendously effortless web page which gives a variety of putting facilities like on-line Self-Study CCIE Lab Workbooks, one-on-one internet based coaching, Instructor Led education etcetera.

The biggest problem with RSVP is that it doesn't scale well when you have a large number of reservations. This is a good model at the edge of the network, but in the middle of the network, where there could be a huge number of flows to keep track of, it would be preferable to use traditional DSCP-based packet marking and queuing.

However, it is not sufficient to just run RSVP at the edges of the network and use a pure DSCP model in the core. Consider a model in which traffic must cross from one RSVP network region through the traditional DSCP core to another RSVP region. A reservation request originating in the first RSVP region will not reach the second region if the core doesn't support RSVP. Consequently, it is not possible to guarantee end-to-end quality of service.

Cisco introduced a new feature to get around this problem in IOS Version 12.2(2)T. The key is to configure RSVP on the core routers so that they can relay RSVP requests back and forth between the edge regions, but to instruct them not to actually use the RSVP information when queuing packets.

There are two commands required to do this, and they must be configured on every interface that will be forwarding RSVP packets through the core network region:

Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0

Router2(config-if)#ip rsvp data-packet classification none

Router2(config-if)#ip rsvp resource-provider none

For example, in an MPLS network, you might want to use this type of configuration on the PE routers. This would allow all of the routers on the customer premises to support traditional RSVP, while the MPLS network core would prioritize based on its own internal classes of service.

The CCIESecurityTrainingteaching includes a prepared examination to qualify then the lab examination. That you are advised to acquire for the least 3-5 yrs of work know-how earlier than wanting this certification.

The examination for that CCIE Stability is of two-hour size with multiple decisions. This consists of hundred inquiries, which will go over subjects equal to software program protocols, working solutions, basic safety technologies, security protocols, and Cisco safety apps. The examination materials are offered about the spot and you simply are not allowed to usher in external reference resources.

Network engineers possessing a CCIE certificates are thought of as because the specialist while in the neighborhood engineering self-discipline as well as masters of CISCO merchandise. The CCIE has brought revolution inside of the group sector in relation to technically challenging assignments and alternatives with all the necessary instruments and methodologies. There's a application which updates and reorganizes the instruments to supply level of quality support. You'll notice diverse modes of CCIE Training like created examination preparation and performance dependent lab. This will help to strengthen the performance and standard of the field. CISCO has launched this certification coverage in 1993 having a look at to tell apart the very best specialists from your rest.

In order to be licensed, initially written examination has to be passed as a result of which needs to cross the lab exam. CISCO in any way periods tries to use totally distinctive CCIE Schooling processes for increased performance. There are a selection of strategies for your CCIE certification. The initial action for certification is usually to move a two hours lasting pc primarily based typically MCQ oriented written test. For this examination vital payments must be finished by the use of internet. This examination is connected with examination vouchers and promotional codes. The authenticity in the voucher furnishing organization must be effectively acknowledged to your candidates. The promotional code really should be accessed properly and just in case of fraudulent vouchers coupled with promotional codes should not satisfactory and CISCO won't repay the value. The candidates be required to wait around 5 days for your created examination as a result of payment and they can not sit for that exact exam for your subsequent 100 eighty days in case of recertification.

By using a see to receive licensed and qualified for your CCIE Exercise some factors are to be remembered effectively. When passing the developed examination the candidates have a a majority of 18 months time for making an attempt the lab exam. In the event the period of time exceeds then the authenticity of your published examination shall be invalid. For that earliest timer applied to own CCIE certification the developed exam is obtainable inside of the kind of Beta examination with special discounts readily available. Around the Beta time period the candidates can sit only the minute for your exam. The outcomes will come inside six to 8 weeks when the examination is through.

The next action for the CCIE certification may be the Lab test. The shortlisted candidates for the penned examination can exclusively use for the fingers-on lab exam. Though there are several prepared examination centers of CISCO still Lab test services are minimal. It is an 8 hour fingers-on practical centered largely examination wherein the ability of troubleshooting and configuring neighborhood mainly dependent dilemmas and software are checked. For that scheduling of Lab examination the shortlisted candidates for the before published exam need to present the identification amount in conjunction with passing rating and the date of passing.

The fee for Lab examination has to be cleared before than ninety days of your scheduled examination. With out the price the reservation possibly will be cancelled. Following passing the Lab examination blended while using authored exam the candidates can use for that CCIE certification. By contemplating

There will have to be one thing that defines the various forms of site traffic that you simply desire to prioritize. Generally, the more simple the distinctions are to help make, the higher. It's because all of the checks take router sources and introduce processing delays. The most common principles for distinguishing amongst targeted visitors kinds use the packet's input interface and painless IP header important information these as TCP port numbers. The next examples present tips to set an IP Precedence worth of quick (two) for all FTP regulate traffic that arrives by using the serial0/0 interface, and an IP Precedence of concern (one) for all FTP info visitors. This distinction is possible for the reason that FTP manage targeted traffic employs TCP port 21, and FTP information makes use of port 20.

The newest strategy for configuring this makes use of class maps. Cisco very first introduced this attribute in IOS Version twelve.0(5)T. This process to begin with defines a class-map that specifies how the router will discover this type of traffic. It then defines a policy-map that actually makes the alterations on the packet's TOS discipline:

Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit any eq ftp any
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit any any eq ftp
Router(config)#access-list 102 permit any eq ftp-data any
Router(config)#access-list 102 permit any any eq ftp-data
Router(config)#class-map match-all ser00-ftpcontrol
Router(config-cmap)#description branch ftp control traffic
Router(config-cmap)#match input-interface serial0/0
Router(config-cmap)#match access-group 101
Router(config-cmap)#exit
Router(config)#class-map match-all ser00-ftpdata
Router(config-cmap)#description branch ftp data traffic
Router(config-cmap)#match input-interface serial0/0
Router(config-cmap)#match access-group 102
Router(config-cmap)#exit
Router(config)#policy-map serialftppolicy
Router(config-pmap)#description branch ftp traffic policy
Router(config-pmap)#class ser00-ftpcontrol
Router(config-pmap-c)#set ip precedence immediate
Router(config-pmap-c)#exit
Router(config-pmap)#class ser00-ftpdata
Router(config-pmap-c)#set ip precedence priority
Router(config-pmap-c)#exit
Router(config-pmap)#exit
Router(config)#interface serial0/0
Router(config-if)#ip route-cache policy
Router(config-if)#service-policy input serialftppolicy
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#end
Router#

For before IOS variations, wherever class-maps were not around, you have got to make use of policy-based routing to change the TOS area in the packet. Applying this coverage for the interface tells the router to utilize this policy to test all incoming packets on this interface and rewrite the ones that match the route map:Router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit any eq ftp any
Router(config)#access-list 101 permit any any eq ftp
Router(config)#access-list 102 permit any eq ftp-data any
Router(config)#access-list 102 permit any any eq ftp-data
Router(config)#route-map serialftp-rtmap permit 10
Router(config-route-map)#match ip address 101
Router(config-route-map)#set ip precedence immediate
Router(config-route-map)#exit
Router(config)#route-map serialftp-rtmap permit 20
Router(config-route-map)#match ip address 102
Router(config-route-map)#set ip precedence priority
Router(config-route-map)#exit
Router(config)#interface serial0/0
Router(config-if)#ip policy route-map serialftp-rtmap
Router(config-if)#ip route-cache policy
Router(config-if)#exit
Router(config)#end
Router#

Well before you possibly can tag a packet for amazing treatment, you have to possess an especially crystal clear idea of what varieties of page views might need extraordinary treatment, coupled with exactly what sort of exceptional cure they'll will want. While in the example, we've got chose to give a special concern to FTP targeted visitors received on the precise serial interface. We exhibit easy methods to do that working with each the aged and new configuration ways.
This will likely look to become a relatively synthetic example. Immediately after all, why would you treatment about tagging inbound visitors you have previously acquired from a low-speed interface? Ultimately, among the many most critical ideas for applying QoS inside of a network is the fact that you ought to often tag the packet as early as feasible, ideally at the edges of your network. Then, since it passes throughout the network, every router only must have a look at the tag, and won't must do any even more classification. In this instance, we might assure that the FTP page views returning during the other gouvernement is tagged from the number one router that receives it. So the outbound visitors has currently been tagged, and this is a waste of router sources to reclassify the outbound packets.

A large number of organizations genuinely consider this concept of marking for the edges 1 phase even more, and remark every received packet. This can help to make certain that people aren't requesting amazing QoS privileges they are not permitted to possess. Having said that, you should be cautious of this mainly because it will probably frequently disrupt legit markings. For instance, a real-time software could use RSVP to reserve bandwidth in the network. It happens to be really important the packets for this application possess the appropriate Expedited Forwarding (EF) DSCP marking or the network might not cope with them accordingly. Still, additionally you really don't prefer to let other non-real-time apps from this same resource have the very same EF priority degree. So, in case you are heading to configure your routers to remark all incoming packets for the edges, make sure you figure out what incoming markings are reliable.

In that circumstance, the routers are working DLSw to bridge SNA site visitors by means of an IP network. So the routers by themselves realistically produce the IP packets. This creates a further challenge as there exists no incoming interface. Making sure that recipe employs hometown policy-based routing. The actual fact that the router generates the packets also presents it a vital gain due to the fact that it doesn't have to look at any DLSw packets that might just occur to go through.

The benefits from the newer class-map approach aren't obvious in such a illustration, but among the many to begin with huge rewards appears in order for you to implement the greater modern day DSCP tagging scheme. As the older policy-based routing procedure would not instantly help DSCP, you have got to pretend it by environment both equally the IP Precedence along with the TOS separately as follows.

Router(config)#route-map serialftp-rtmap permit 10
Router(config-route-map)#match ip address 115
Router(config-route-map)#set ip precedence immediate
Router(config-route-map)#set ip tos max-throughput

In this case, the packet will wind up with an IP Precedence value of immediate, or 2 (010 in binary), and TOS of max-throughput, or 4 (0100 in binary).

Doing the same thing with the class-map method is much more direct:

Router(config)#policy-map serialftppolicy
Router(config-pmap)#class serialftpclass
Router(config-pmap-c)#set ip dscp af21

Class-maps will likely be valuable later on during this chapter when we discuss class-based weighted fair queuing and class-based site visitors shaping.
It will be important to notice that all through this whole example, now we have only place a exclusive worth in to the packet's TOS or DSCP discipline. This, by alone, won't affect how the packet is forwarded by means of the network. To try and do that, you have to make sure that as every single router during the network forwards these marked packets, the interface queues will react appropriately to this critical information.

At last, we must always be aware that whereas this recipe reveals two useful options of marking packets, employing Committed Access Fee (Car) attributes. Automotive tends to become a good deal more reliable on larger pace interfaces.

Central#show interfaces Serial0

The show frame-relay pvc command allows you to see information about each of your Frame Relay PVCs:

Central#show frame-relay pvc

And sometimes it is also useful to look at the LMI status:

Central#show frame-relay lmi

The show interfaces command has a lot of useful information. When the interface is configured for Frame Relay, this command shows the LMI configuration, whether the interface is configured for SVCs as well as PVCs, and it also shows you whether the interface is set up to be DCE or DTE. But the most important thing to look at is always the first line, where it shows the physical and the protocol status:

Central#show interfaces Serial0

Serial0 is up, line protocol is up

  Hardware is HD64570

  Description: Frame Relay connection

Central#

If the interface is up, you should be able to see useful PVC information:

Central#show frame-relay pvc

PVC Statistics for interface Serial1 (Frame Relay DTE)

DLCI = 100, DLCI USAGE = LOCAL, PVC STATUS = ACTIVE, INTERFACE = Serial0.1

  input pkts 1271          output pkts 1312         in bytes 843519

  out bytes 856138         dropped pkts 0           in FECN pkts 0

  in DE pkts 0             out DE pkts 0

  out bcast pkts 40         out bcast bytes 11320

  pvc create time 01:08:11, last time pvc status changed 00:39:42

Central#

This output tells you, for example, that the PVC with DLCI 100 is active and configured on interface Serial0.1. None of the packets received on this interface have had their FECN, BECN, or DE bits set. This is the most useful place to check for congestion in the Frame Relay cloud. Note that the router is unlikely to ever set the FECN or BECN bits when sending packets, so the inbound counters are the most useful here.

The last line of this output for each PVC is particularly useful if you have a problem with flapping PVCs in the carrier cloud. In this case, you can see that the PVC has been active for just over an hour, but it had a status change 39 minutes ago. This doesn't tell you what caused the status change, though. In a stable network, you should not expect to see frequent PVC status changes. So this gives you a useful indication of problems either in the carrier cloud, or with your remote router.

Note that the show frame-relay pvc command will list all of the PVCs on a router, including any that are configured on the router but not in use, as well as any that are configured on the switch but not on the router. If you want to focus on a particular PVC, you can specify the one you want by its DLCI number:

Central#show frame-relay pvc 100

If you suspect an LMI problem, it is useful to look at the output of the show frame-relay lmi command:

Central#show frame-relay lmi

LMI Statistics for interface Serial1 (Frame Relay DTE) LMI TYPE = CCITT

  Invalid Unnumbered info 0             Invalid Prot Disc 0

  Invalid dummy Call Ref 0              Invalid Msg Type 0

  Invalid Status Message 0              Invalid Lock Shift 0

  Invalid Information ID 0              Invalid Report IE Len 0

  Invalid Report Request 0              Invalid Keep IE Len 0

  Num Status Enq. Sent 299              Num Status msgs Rcvd 299

  Num Update Status Rcvd 0              Num Status Timeouts 0

Central#

The first line of this output shows that the LMI type in this case is CCITT, which is configured with the frame-relay lmi-type q933a command. The other options are cisco and ansi, both of which use the same type field in the output of this command as in the configuration command.

Because LMI is the Frame Relay management protocol between the router and the switch, if you have an LMI problem, the usual symptom is that the physical interface is up, but the protocol is down and none of the PVCs will come up. If you repeatedly check the show frame-relay lmi command, you will see the Num Status Timeouts field incrementing. Because it can take several seconds for an interface to come up, it is sometimes hard to tell immediately if you have the right LMI type field, so this field gives you a relatively quick indication of when you have the right configuration.
