Modifying the MAC Address on an Interface

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card use a default MAC address for each port that is derived from the base address that is stored in the EEPROM on the backplane of the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers.

To modify the default MAC address of an interface to a user-defined address, use the following command in the interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 

mac-address   ieee-address



Router(config-if)# mac-address   000a.f330.2e40

Modifies the default MAC address of an interface to a user-defined address. Here:

  • ieee-address— Specifies the 48-bit IEEE MAC address written as a dotted triple of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.yyyy.zzzz ).

To return to the default MAC address on the interface, use the no form of this command.

Verifying a MAC Address

To verify the MAC address of an interface, use the show interfaces HundredGigE command in the privileged EXEC mode and observe the value shown in the address field.

The following example shows that the MAC address is 74a0.2ff9.bca0 for interface 0 on the Ethernet Line Card installed in slot 1 and subslot 1 of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router: 


Router# show interfaces HundredGigE 1/1/0
HundredGigE1/1/0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is EPA-1X100GE, address is 74a0.2ff9.bca0 (bia 74a0.2ff9.bca0)

Configuring MAC Address Accounting Statistics

The ip accounting mac-address [input | output ] command enables the MAC address accounting on an interface.

The following example shows how to configure the MAC address accounting on an interface: 


Router# interface TenGigabitEthernet5/1/0
 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
 ip accounting mac-address input
 ip accounting mac-address output
end

Displaying MAC Address Accounting Statistics

After enabling MAC address accounting, MAC address statistics can be displayed by entering the show interfaces mac-accounting command.

The following example shows that the MAC accounting statistics for interface 0 on the Ethernet Line Card is installed in slot 1 and subslot 0 of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router: 


Router# show interfaces HundredGigE1/0/0 mac-accounting
HundredGigE1/0/0

Output (511 free)
0090.f2c9.cc00(103): 8 packets, 504 bytes, last: 4311ms ago 
Total: 8 packets, 504 bytes

Configuring the Hot Standby Router Protocol

The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) provides high network availability because it routes IP traffic from hosts without relying on the availability of any single router. HSRP is used in a group of routers for selecting an active router and a standby router. (An active router is the router of choice for routing packets; a standby router is a router that takes over the routing duties when an active router fails, or when preset conditions are met).

Enable HSRP on an interface by entering the standby [group-number ] ip [ip-address [secondary ]] command. You can also use the standby command to configure various HSRP elements. This document does not discuss complex HSRP configurations. For additional information on configuring HSRP, refer to the HSRP section of the Cisco IP Configuration Guide publication that corresponds to your Cisco IOS XE software release. In the following HSRP configuration, standby group 2 on Gigabit Ethernet port 2/0/0 is configured with a priority of 110 and to have a preemptive delay for a switchover to occur: 


Router(config)# 
interface HundredGigE 2/0/0
Router(config-if)# 
standby 2 ip 120.12.1.200
Router(config-if)# 
standby 2 priority 110
Router(config-if)# 
standby 2 preempt

Verifying HSRP

To verify HSRP information, use the show standby command in EXEC mode: 


Router# show standby
HundredGigE1/0/0 - Group 2
  State is Active
    2 state changes, last state change 00:00:06
  Virtual IP address is 120.12.1.200
  Active virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac02 (MAC In Use)
    Local virtual MAC address is 0000.0c07.ac02 (v1 default)
  Hello time 3 sec, hold time 10 sec
    Next hello sent in 2.160 secs
  Preemption enabled
  Active router is local
  Standby router is unknown
  Priority 110 (configured 110)
  Group name is "hsrp-Hu1/0/0-2" (default)

Modifying the Interface MTU Size

Cisco IOS software supports three different types of configurable maximum transmission unit (MTU) options at different levels of the protocol stack:

  • Interface MTU—Checked by the Ethernet Line Card on the traffic coming in from the network. Different interface types support different interface MTU sizes and defaults. The interface MTU defines the maximum packet size allowable (in bytes) for an interface before drops occur. If the frame is smaller than the interface MTU size, but is not smaller than the minimum frame size for the interface type (such as 64 bytes for Ethernet), the frame continues to process.
  • IP MTU—Can be configured on an interface or subinterface. If an IP packet exceeds the IP MTU size, the packet is fragmented.
  • Tag or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) MTU—Can be configured on an interface or subinterface and allows up to six different labels or tag headers to be attached to a packet. The maximum number of labels is dependent on your Cisco IOS software release.

Different encapsulation methods and the number of MPLS MTU labels add additional overhead to a packet. For example, Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) encapsulation adds an 8-byte header, dot1q encapsulation adds a 4-byte header, and each MPLS label adds a 4-byte header (n labels x 4 bytes).

For Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, the default MTU size is 1500 bytes. The maximum configurable MTU is 9216 bytes. The Ethernet Line Card automatically adds an additional 22 bytes to the configured MTU size to accommodate some of the additional overhead.


Note
You cannot set the MTU option at the subinterface level.

Interface MTU Configuration Guidelines

When configuring the interface MTU size of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, consider the following guidelines:

  • The default interface MTU size accommodates a 1500-byte packet, plus 22 additional bytes to cover the following additional overhead:
    • Layer 2 header—14 bytes
    • Dot1q header—4 bytes
    • CRC—4 bytes
  • If you are using MPLS, be sure that the mpls mtu command is configured for a value less than or equal to the interface MTU.
  • If you are using MPLS labels, you should increase the default interface MTU size to accommodate the number of MPLS labels. Each MPLS label adds 4 bytes of overhead to a packet.

Interface MTU Configuration Task

To modify the MTU size on an interface, use the following command in the interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 

mtu   bytes

Router(config-if)# mtu 1523

Configures the maximum packet size for an interface. Here:

  • bytes— Specifies the maximum number of bytes for a packet.

The default is 1500 bytes and the maximum configurable MTU is 9216 bytes.

To return to the default MTU size, use the no form of this command.

Verifying the MTU Size

To verify the MTU size for an interface, use the show interfaces HundredGigE command in the privileged EXEC command and observe the value shown in the MTU field.

The following example shows an MTU size of 1500 bytes for interface port 0 (the second port) on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card installed in slot 1 and Bay 1 of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers: 


Router# show interfaces HundredGigE 1/1/0

     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

Ingress QoS Classification

The physical level interface module (PLIM) is the hardware component in the data path between the media interface and the forwarding engine.

Use the following commands in the interface configuration mode to configure QoS:

Command

Purpose 


plim qos input map ip {precedence-based | precedence precedence-value  queue {strict-priority  |  0  }}


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ip precedence-based



Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ip precedence 5 queue strict-priority

Classifies incoming IP traffic according to the value of the IP precedence bits, and places the traffic into the appropriate queue.

  • precedence-value —Specifies the value of the IP precedence bits (0 to 7). You can specify a range of values separated by a dash or a list of values. By default, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card classifies IP precedence range 6-7 as high priority.
  • strict-priority —Specifies the high-priority queue. Enter 0 for low priority.

Use the no form of this command to remove the configured values. 


plim qos input map ipv6 all queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ipv6 all queue strict-priority

Classifies all the IPv6 packets as high priority or low priority.

  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority traffic. Enter 0 for low-priority.

The no form of this command disables all IPv6 classification. By default, this command is disabled. 


plim qos input map ipv6 tc {tc-value  | tc-range } queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ipv6 tc ef queue 0

Classifies ingress IPv6 traffic based on the value of the traffic-class bits and places the traffic into the appropriate queue.

  • tc-value | tc-range —Specifies the value of the traffic class bits. You can specify a range of values separated by a dash or a list of values.
  • strict-priority —Specifies the high-priority queue. Enter 0 for the low priority queue.

The no form of this command sets the classification according to default DSCP EF.

By default, IPv6 traffic with a traffic-class value equal to EF uses the high-priority queue and all other traffic uses the low-priority queue. Only the most significant six bits of the traffic-class octet is used for the classification. 


plim qos input map mpls all queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map mpls all queue strict-priority

Classifies all MPLS packets as high priority or low priority.

  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority packets. Enter 0 for low-priority packets.

The no form of this command disables MPLS classification. By default, this command is disabled. 


plim qos input map mpls exp {exp-value  | exp-range}  queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map mpls exp 5 queue strict-priority

Classifies incoming MPLS traffic according to the value of the exp bits and places the traffic into the appropriate queue.

  • exp-value | exp-range —Specifies which MPLS exp value or range to use.
  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority MPLS traffic. Enter 0 for low-priority.

By default, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card classifies MPLS EXP range 6-7 as high-priority.

The no form of this command sets the classification according to default exp range 6-7. 


plim qos input queue {strict-priority   | 0}   pause enable | threshold percent]


Router(config-if)# plim qos input queue strict-priority  pause  enable

Enables Ethernet pause frame generation due to flow control status.

  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority queue. Enter 0 for a low-priority queue.
  • pause —Sets up the queue threshold to send a pause frame, which is a percentage of queue limit for packet drop.
  • threshold—Specifies the amount of traffic required to generate the pause frame. The default threshold is 100 percent. This feature is not supported.

By default, pause frame generation is enabled for a strict-priority queue.

The no form of this command disables pause generation for a queue. 


plim qos input map ip all queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ip all queue 0

Allows user to specify all IPv4 packets as high priority or low priority.

  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority packets. Enter 0 for a low-priority packets

The no form of this command disables all IPv4 classification. By default, this command is disabled. 


plim qos input map ip dscp-based


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ip dscp-based

Enables IP DSCP-based classification.

By default, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card enables IP precedence-based classification for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

The no form of this command totally disables the IP DSCP-based classification. 


plim qos input map ip dscp {dscp-value  | dscp-range}  queue  {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-if)# plim qos input map ip dscp af11 queue strict-priority

Allows the user to specify an IP DSCP value or range.

  • strict-priority —Specifies high-priority IP DSCP value. Enter 0 for low-priority.

By default, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card classifies DSCP EF as high priority.

The no form of this command removes the IP DSCP value or range.

Configuring the Encapsulation Type

By default, the interfaces on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card support Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) encapsulation. They do not support configuration of service access point or SNAP encapsulation for transmission of frames; however, the interfaces will properly receive frames that use service access point and SNAP encapsulation.

The only other encapsulation supported by the Ethernet Line Card interfaces is IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation for virtual LANs (VLANs).

Configuring a Subinterface and VLAN

You can configure subinterfaces on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card interfaces on a VLAN using IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. Cisco Discovery Protocol is disabled by default on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card interfaces and subinterfaces.

To configure an Ethernet Line Card subinterface on a VLAN, use the following commands in the global configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. hw-module subslot slot/subslot ethernet vlan unlimited
  2. Do one of the following:
    • interface HundredGigE slot /subslot /port [. subinterface-number]

  • mask —Specifies the mask for the associated IP subnet.
  • secondary —(Optional) Specifies that the configured address is a secondary IP address. If this keyword is omitted, the configured address is the primary IP address.

VLAN COS-Based Ingress Classification

This section describes how to configure the COS-based classification rules at VLAN sub-interface level and L3 classification rules at main-interface level.


Note
When the hardware-module subslot ethernet vlan unlimited command is configured, the default classification of COS bits 6 and 7 as high priority is supported. However, other user-defined COS values for high-priority and low-priority classification using the plim qos input map cos queue command are not supported.

When the VLAN scale configuration is enabled using the hw-module subslot slot/subslot ethernet vlan unlimited command, the VLAN COS bits classification will be lost.

The following is a sample output of the hw-module subslot slot/subslot ethernet vlan unlimited command displaying a warning message. 


Router(config)# hw-module subslot 1/0 ethernet vlan unlimited
 
%VLAN input classification in subslot 1/0 will not be available

To specify VLAN classification, use the following commands in the subinterface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 


plim qos input map cos enable


Router(config-subif)# plim qos input map cos enable

Enables packet classification based on 802.1q VLAN COS bits.

By default, this command is enabled on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card.

The no form of this command totally disables the COS classification.

The command is used in the dot1q subinterface configuration mode, which can be either under the main physical interface or the Gigabit EtherChannel link bundle. 


plim qos input map cos {cos-value  | cos-range}  queue {strict-priority   | 0}  


Router(config-subif)# plim qos input map cos 3 queue strict-priority

Allows a user to specify a COS value or a COS range.

By default, without this command, COS bits value 6 and 7 is classified as high priority. Only the default behavior is supported when the hw-module subslot ethernet vlan unlimited command is configured.

The no form of this command sets the classification according to the default value (COS priority value 6 and 7).

This command is in the VLAN subinterface configuration mode under either the main physical interface or the Gigabit EtherChannel link bundle.

Classification Based on Inner and Outer VLAN COS Values

To enable packet classification based on VLAN COS values for Inner and Outer VLAN of a 802.1Q subinterface or QinQ subinterface, execute the following set of commands from the QinQ subinterface configuration mode:

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. Do one of the following:
    • interface HundredGigE 0/0/0.1

Saving a Configuration

To save your running configuration to NVRAM, use the following command in privileged EXEC configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 


copy  running-config  startup-config  


Router# copy  running-config  startup-config

Writes the new configuration to NVRAM.

For information about managing your system image and configuration files, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications that correspond to your Cisco IOS software release.

Shutting Down and Restarting an Interface on an Ethernet Line Card

You can shut down and restart any of the interface ports on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card independent of each other. Shutting down an interface stops traffic and moves the interface into an administratively down state.

There are no restrictions for online insertion and removal (OIR) on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card.

If you are preparing for an OIR of an Ethernet line card, it is not necessary to independently shut down each of the interfaces prior to the deactivation of the Ethernet Line Card. The hw-module slot <1> stop command automatically stops traffic on the interfaces and deactivates them along with the Ethernet Line Card in preparation for OIR.

To shut down an interface on an Ethernet Line Card, use the following command in the interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 


shutdown  


Router(config-if)# shutdown

Disables an interface.

To restart an interface on an Ethernet Line Card, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 

no  shutdown  


Router(config-if)# no  shutdown

Restarts a disabled interface.

Modifying the Minimum Frame Size on an EPA Interface

You can modify the minimum frame size of data that is transmitted on a hundred Gigabit Ethernet interface from 64 bytes to 68 bytes, including the VLAN tag encapsulation.

Restrictions

The following is the restriction for modifying the minimum frame size on a hundred Gigabit Ethernet interface:

  • This modification is specific to the interface level, and configuration changes are applied to all packet sizes that are less than 64 bytes.

Modifying the Minimum Frame Size to 68 Bytes

To configure the minimum frame size to 68 bytes, use the following command in privileged EXEC configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 


plim  min-frame-length   <68byte> 


Router(config-if)# plim  min-frame-length  68byte

Configures the minimum frame size to 68 bytes.

To disable the minimum frame size configuration, use the following command in privileged EXEC configuration mode:

Command

Purpose 


no  plim  min-frame-length   <68byte> 


Router(config-if)# no  plim  min-frame-length  68byte

Disables the 68-byte minimum frame size configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to modify the minimum frame size from 64 bytes to 68 bytes: 




Router(config-if)# plim min-frame-length ?
64 byte - Default:64 byte
Router(config-if)# plim min-frame-length 68byte
Router(config-if)# plim min-frame-length ?
68 byte - Default:64 byte
Router(config-if)# no plim min-frame-length 68byte
Router(config-if)# plim min-frame-length ?
64 byte - Default:64 byte

Verifying an Interface Configuration

Besides using the show running-configuration command to display your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers configuration settings, you can use the show interfaces HundredGigE | tengigabitethernet command to get detailed information on a per-port basis for your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card.

Verifying Per-Port Interface Status

To find detailed interface information on a per-port basis for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Ethernet Line Card, use the show interfaces HundredGigE command.

The following example provides a sample output for interface port 0 on the Ethernet Line Card that is installed in slot 2 and subslot 0 of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router:

Using show Commands to Check CPAK Module and SFP+ Module Status

You can use various show commands to view information specific to 10-G SFP+ and 100-G CPAK optical transceiver modules.

To check or verify the status of an CPAK module or SFP+ module, use the following show commands:

  • show hw-module slot/subslot transceiver port idprom detail
  • show hw-module slot/subslot transceiver port idprom brief
  • show hw-module slot/subslot transceiver port idprom dump
  • show hw-module slot/subslot transceiver port idprom status

The following is a list of sample output of several show commands for CPAK modules and SFP+ modules.

Configuration Examples

This section includes the following configuration examples:

Basic Interface Configuration

The following example shows how to enter the global configuration mode to specify the interface that you want to configure, configure an IP address for the interface, and save the configuration.

The following example shows how to configure interface port 1 on the Ethernet Line Card that is located in subslot 0 of the Ethernet Line Card that is installed in slot 0 of a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. 


! Enter global configuration mode.

!

Router# configure  terminal  

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

!

! Specify the interface address.

!

Router(config)# interface  HundredgigE  0/0/1  

!

! Configure an IP address.

!

Router(config-if)# ip  address  192.168.50.1  255.255.255.0  

!

! Start the interface.

!

Router(config-if)# no  shut  

!

! Save the configuration to NVRAM.

!

Router(config-if)# exit  

Router# copy  running-config  startup-config

MAC Address Configuration

The following example shows how to change the default MAC address on the interface to 1111.2222.3333: 


! Enter global configuration mode.

!

Router# configure  terminal  

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

! 

! Specify the interface address

!

Router(config)# interface  HundredgigE  0/0/0  

!

! Modify the MAC address.

!

Router(config-if)# mac-address  1111.2222.3333

MAC Address Accounting Configuration

The following example shows how to enable MAC address accounting: 


! Enter global configuration mode.

!

Router# configure  terminal  

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

! 

! Enable MAC address accounting

Router(config)# interface  {  HundredGigE  |  Tengigethernet  }   slot/subslot/port 

Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  mac-address  {input  |  output}  

Router(config)# interface  HundredGigE   0/0/0 



Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  ?  

access-violations Account for IP packets violating access lists on this interface

mac-address Account for MAC addresses seen on this interface

output-packets Account for IP packets output on this interface

precedence Count packets by IP precedence on this interface

<cr> 

Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  mac-address  ?  

input Source MAC address on received packets

output Destination MAC address on transmitted packets

Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  mac-address  input  ?  

<cr>

! Specify MAC address accounting for traffic entering the interface.

!

Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  mac-address  input  

! Specify MAC address accounting for traffic leaving the interface.

!

Router(config-if)# ip  accounting  mac-address  output  

Router(config-if)# end  

! Verify the MAC Address on the interface.

!

Router# show  interfaces  HundredGigE  0/0/0  mac-accounting  

HundredGigE 0/0/0
