About this Guide This guide describes the protocols and features the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) supports and provides configuration instructions and examples for implementing them. The S4048–ON platform is available with Dell Networking OS version 9.7.(0.1) and beyond.S4048–ON stacking is supported with Dell Networking OS version 9.7(0.1) and beyond.
In Dell Networking OS, after you enter a command, the command is added to the running configuration file. You can view the current configuration for the whole system or for a particular CLI mode. To save the current configuration, copy the running configuration to another location.
Page 36
• CONFIGURATION mode allows you to configure security features, time settings, set logging and SNMP functions, configure static ARP and MAC addresses, and set line cards on the system. Beneath CONFIGURATION mode are submodes that apply to interfaces, protocols, and features. The following example shows the submode command structure.
Navigating CLI Modes The Dell Networking OS prompt changes to indicate the CLI mode. The following table lists the CLI mode, its prompt, and information about how to access and exit the CLI mode. Move linearly through the command modes, except for the end command which takes you directly to EXEC Privilege mode and the exit command which moves you up one command mode level.
You can enter an EXEC mode command from any CONFIGURATION mode (CONFIGURATION, INTERFACE, SPANNING TREE, and so on.) without having to return to EXEC mode by preceding the EXEC mode command with the do command. The following example shows the output of the do command. Dell(conf)#do show system brief Stack MAC : 34:17:eb:f2:c2:c4...
IP address configured on an interface, use the no ip address ip-address command. NOTE: Use the help or ? command as described in Obtaining Help. Example of Viewing Disabled Commands Dell(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 2/17 Dell(conf-if-te-2/17)#ip address 192.168.10.1/24 Dell(conf-if-te-2/17)#show config interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/17 ip address 192.168.10.1/24...
Enter ? after a partial keyword lists all of the keywords that begin with the specified letters. Dell(conf)#cl? class-map clock Dell(conf)#cl • Enter [space]? after a keyword lists all of the keywords that can follow the specified keyword. Dell(conf)#clock ? summer-time Configure summer (daylight savings) time timezone Configure time zone Dell(conf)#clock Entering and Editing Commands Notes for entering commands.
Dell(conf)#do show system brief | grep 0 not present NOTE: Dell Networking OS accepts a space or no space before and after the pipe. To filter a phrase with spaces, underscores, or ranges, enclose the phrase with double quotation marks.
% Warning: User "<username>" on line vty0 "10.11.130.2" is in configuration mode If either of these messages appears, Dell Networking recommends coordinating with the users listed in the message so that you do not unintentionally overwrite each other’s configuration changes.
This chapter describes how you start configuring your system. When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self test (POST) and system then loads the Dell Networking Operating System. Boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
• 8 data bits • 1 stop bit • No flow control Pin Assignments You can connect to the console using a RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for example, a PC). The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows: Table 2.
Default Configuration Although a version of Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the system, the system is not configured when you power up the first time (except for the default hostname, which is Dell). You must configure the system using the CLI.
* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text. * 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the encrypted password from the configuration of another Dell Networking system. Configuring the Enable Password Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command.

Copy one file, after optimizing and reducing the size of the configuration file, to another location. Dell Networking OS supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for FTP, TFTP, and SCP (in the hostip field).
NOTE: The MXL and Z9000 platforms currently do not support VRF. These platforms support only the management and default VRFs, which are available by default. As a result, the feature vrf command is not available for these platforms. To display the state of Dell Networking OS features: Dell#show feature...
The validation calculates a hash value of the downloaded image file on system’s flash drive, and, optionally, compares it to a Dell Networking published hash for that file.
To copy a file on the external FLASH, enter usbflash:// followed by the filename. In the Dell Networking OS release 9.8(0.0), HTTP services are enhanced to support the VRF-aware functionality. If you want the HTTP server to use a VRF table that is attached to an interface, configure that HTTP server to use a specific routing table. You can use the ip http vrf command to inform the HTTP server to use a specific routing table.
Management This chapter describes the different protocols or services used to manage the Dell Networking system. Configuring Privilege Levels Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line. There are 16 privilege levels, of which three are pre-defined. The default privilege level is 1.
GigabitEthernet interface IEEE 802.3z tengigabitethernet TenGigabit Ethernet interface vlan VLAN keyword Dell(conf)# interface group vlan 1 - 2 , tengigabitethernet 1/1 Dell(conf-if-group-vl-1-2,te-1/1)# no shutdown Dell(conf-if-group-vl-1-2,te-1/1)# end Applying a Privilege Level to a Username To set the user privilege level, use the following command.
NOTE: When you assign a privilege level between 2 and 15, access to the system begins at EXEC mode, but the prompt is hostname#, rather than hostname>. Configuring Logging The Dell Networking OS tracks changes in the system using event and error messages. By default, Dell Networking OS logs these messages on: •...

Example of the clear logging auditlog Command Dell# clear logging auditlog Configuring Logging Format To display syslog messages in a RFC 3164 or RFC 5424 format, use the logging version {0 | 1} command in CONFIGURATION mode.
To configure a secure connection from the switch to the syslog server: On the switch, enable the SSH server Dell(conf)#ip ssh server enable On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from the syslog server to FTOS switch, using following syntax: ssh -R <remote port>:<syslog server>:<syslog server listen port>...
Track Login Activity Dell Networking OS enables you to track the login activity of users and view the successful and unsuccessful login events. When you log in using the console or VTY line, the system displays the last successful login details of the current user and the number of unsuccessful login attempts since your last successful login to the system.
Example of the show login statistics user user-id command The show login statistics user user-id command displays the successful and failed login details of a specific user in the last 30 days or the custom defined time period. Dell#show login statistics user admin ------------------------------------------------------------------ User: admin Last login time: Mon Feb 16 04:40:00 2015 Last login location: Line vty0 ( 10.14.1.97 )
Limit Concurrent Login Sessions Dell Networking OS enables you to limit the number of concurrent login sessions of users on VTY, auxiliary, and console lines. You can also clear any of your existing sessions when you reach the maximum permitted number of concurrent sessions.
vty 1 10.14.1.97 Clear existing session? [line number/Enter to cancel]: When you try to create more than the permitted number of sessions, the following message appears, prompting you to close one of the existing sessions. If you close any of the existing sessions, you are allowed to login. $ telnet 10.11.178.17 Trying 10.11.178.17...
Sending System Messages to a Syslog Server To send system messages to a specified syslog server, use the following command. The following syslog standards are supported: RFC 5424 The SYSLOG Protocol, R.Gerhards and Adiscon GmbH, March 2009, obsoletes RFC 3164 and RFC 5426 Transmission of Syslog Messages over UDP.
NOTE: When you decrease the buffer size, Dell Networking OS deletes all messages stored in the buffer. Increasing the buffer size does not affect messages in the buffer. • Specify the number of messages that Dell Networking OS saves to its logging history table.

Dell#show running-config logging logging buffered 524288 debugging service timestamps log datetime msec service timestamps debug datetime msec...
Synchronizing Log Messages You can configure Dell Networking OS to filter and consolidate the system messages for a specific line by synchronizing the message output. Only the messages with a severity at or below the set level appear. This feature works on the terminal and console connections available on the system.
File Transfer Services With Dell Networking OS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using the file transfer protocol (FTP). One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the system; however, FTP is not supported on virtual local area network (VLAN) interfaces.
The auxiliary line (aux) connects secondary devices such as modems. Denying and Permitting Access to a Terminal Line Dell Networking recommends applying only standard access control lists (ACLs) to deny and permit access to VTY lines. • Layer 3 ACLs deny all traffic that is not explicitly permitted, but in the case of VTY lines, an ACL with no rules does not deny traffic.
You can use any combination of up to six authentication methods to authenticate a user on a terminal line. A combination of authentication methods is called a method list. If the user fails the first authentication method, Dell Networking OS prompts the next method until all methods are exhausted, at which point the connection is terminated.
Dell(config-line-vty)# Setting Timeout for EXEC Privilege Mode EXEC timeout is a basic security feature that returns Dell Networking OS to EXEC mode after a period of inactivity on the terminal lines. To set timeout, use the following commands.
EXEC Privilege telnet [ip-address] If you do not enter an IP address, Dell Networking OS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one. Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.
• After the restore is complete, the units power cycle immediately. The following example illustrates the restore factory-defaults command to restore the factory default settings. Dell#restore factory-defaults stack-unit 1 nvram *********************************************************************** Warning - Restoring factory defaults will delete the existing persistent settings (stacking, fanout, etc.)
Hit any key to abort the boot process. You enter uBoot immediately, the => prompt indicates success.

802.1ag Ethernet operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) are a set of tools used to install, monitor, troubleshoot, and manage Ethernet infrastructure deployments. Ethernet OAM consists of three main areas: • Service layer OAM — IEEE 802.1ag connectivity fault management (CFM) •...
Maintenance Domains Connectivity fault management (CFM) divides a network into hierarchical maintenance domains, as shown in the following illustration. A CFM maintenance domain is a management space on a network that a single management entity owns and operates. The network administrator assigns a unique maintenance level (from 0 to 7) to each domain to define the hierarchical relationship between domains.
There are two types of MEPs defined in 802.1ag for an 802.1 bridge: • Up-MEP — monitors the forwarding path internal to a bridge on the customer or provider edge. On Dell Networking systems, the internal forwarding path is effectively the switch fabric and forwarding engine.
The range is from 0 to 7. Display maintenance domain information. EXEC Privilege mode show ethernet cfm domain [name | brief] Example of Viewing Configured Maintenance Domains Dell# show ethernet cfm domain Domain Name: customer Level: 7 Total Service: 1 Services...

MP ID: 900 Sender Chassis ID: Force10 MEP Interface status: Up MEP Port status: Forwarding Receive RDI: FALSE MP Status: Active Setting the MP Database Persistence To set the database persistence, use the following command. • Set the amount of time that data from a missing MEP is kept in the continuity check database. ECFM DOMAIN database hold-time minutes The default is 100 minutes.
• Reception of a CCM with an MD level lower than the receiving MEP, which indicates a configuration or cross-connect error. • Reception of a CCM containing a port status/interface status TLV, which indicates a failed bridge or aggregated port. The continuity check protocol sends fault notifications (Syslogs, and SNMP traps, if enabled) whenever you encounter any of the these errors.
Figure 6. MPLS Core Link trace messages carry a unicast target address (the MAC address of an MIP or MEP) inside a multicast frame. The destination group address is based on the MD level of the transmitting MEP (01:80:C2:00:00:3[8 to F]). The MPs on the path to the target MAC address reply to the LTM with an LTR, and relays the LTM towards the target MAC until the target MAC is reached or TTL equals 0.
To enable CFM SNMP traps, use the following command. • Enable SNMP trap messages for Ethernet CFM.

802.1X employs Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to transfer a device’s credentials to an authentication server (typically RADIUS) using a mandatory intermediary network access device, in this case, a Dell Networking switch. The network access device mediates all communication between the end-user device and the authentication server so that the network remains secure. The network access device uses EAP-over-Ethernet (EAPOL) to communicate with the end-user device and EAP-over-RADIUS to communicate with the server.
The device with which the supplicant communicates is the authenticator. The authenticator is the gate keeper of the network. It translates and forwards requests and responses between the authentication server and the supplicant. The authenticator also changes the status of the port based on the results of the authentication process. The Dell Networking switch is the authenticator.
If the identity information provided by the supplicant is valid, the authentication server sends an Access-Accept frame in which network privileges are specified. The authenticator changes the port state to authorized and forwards an EAP Success frame. If the identity information is invalid, the server sends an Access-Reject frame. If the port state remains unauthorized, the authenticator forwards an EAP Failure frame.
Configuring a Guest VLAN • Configuring an Authentication-Fail VLAN Important Points to Remember • Dell Networking OS supports 802.1X with EAP-MD5, EAP-OTP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, and MS-CHAPv2 with PEAP. • All platforms support only RADIUS as the authentication server. •...

Dell#show running-config | find dot1x dot1x authentication [output omitted] interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/1 no ip address dot1x authentication no shutdown Dell# To view 802.1X configuration information for an interface, use the show dot1x interface command.
• Configure the maximum number of times the authenticator re-transmits a Request Identity frame. INTERFACE mode dot1x max-eap-req number The range is from 1 to 10. The default is 2. The example in Configuring a Quiet Period after a Failed Authentication shows configuration information for a port for which the authenticator re-transmits an EAP Request Identity frame after 90 seconds and re-transmits for 10 times.

Guest and Authentication-Fail VLANs Typically, the authenticator (the Dell system) denies the supplicant access to the network until the supplicant is authenticated. If the supplicant is authenticated, the authenticator enables the port and places it in either the VLAN for which the port is configured or the VLAN that the authentication server indicates in the authentication data.

Access Control List (ACL) VLAN Groups and Content Addressable Memory (CAM) This chapter describes the access control list (ACL) virtual local area network (VLAN) group and content addressable memory (CAM) enhancements. Optimizing CAM Utilization During the Attachment of ACLs to VLANs To minimize the number of entries in CAM, enable and configure the ACL CAM feature.
• The description of the ACL group is added or removed. Guidelines for Configuring ACL VLAN Groups Keep the following points in mind when you configure ACL VLAN groups: • The interfaces where you apply the ACL VLAN group function as restricted interfaces.

IP Access Control Lists (ACLs) In Dell Networking switch/routers, you can create two different types of IP ACLs: standard or extended. A standard ACL filters packets based on the source IP packet. An extended ACL filters traffic based on the following criteria: •...
When creating an access list, the sequence of the filters is important. You have a choice of assigning sequence numbers to the filters as you enter them, or the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) assigns numbers in the order the filters are created. The sequence numbers are listed in the display output of the show config and show ip accounting access-list commands.
In cases where class-maps with overlapping ACL rules are applied to different queues, use the order keyword to specify the order in which you want to apply ACL rules. The order can range from 0 to 254. Dell Networking OS writes to the CAM ACL rules with lower-order numbers (order numbers closer to 0) before rules with higher-order numbers so that packets are matched as you intended.
You can create multiple instances of this route map by using the sequence number option to place the route maps in the correct order. Dell Networking OS processes the route maps with the lowest sequence number first. When a configured route map is applied...
Page 115
When there are multiple match commands with the same parameter under one instance of route-map, Dell Networking OS does a match between all of those match commands. If there are multiple match commands with different parameters, Dell Networking OS does a match ONLY if there is a match among ALL the match commands.
In the following example, instance 10 permits the route having a tag value of 1000 and instances 20 and 30 deny the route having a tag value of 1000. In this scenario, Dell Networking OS scans all the instances of the route-map for any permit statement. If there is a match anywhere, the route is permitted.
• Match next-hop routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode match ip next-hop {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} • Match next-hop routes specified in a prefix list (IPv6). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode match ipv6 next-hop {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} • Match source routes specified in a prefix list (IPv4). CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode match ip route-source {access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name} •...
Route maps on their own cannot affect traffic and must be included in different commands to affect routing traffic. Route redistribution occurs when Dell Networking OS learns the advertising routes from static or directly connected routes or another routing protocol. Different protocols assign different values to redistributed routes to identify either the routes and their origins.
For IP ACL, Dell Networking OS always applies implicit deny. You do not have to configure it. • For IP ACL, Dell Networking OS applies implicit permit for second and subsequent fragment just prior to the implicit deny. • If you configure an explicit deny, the second and subsequent fragments do not hit the implicit permit rule for fragments.
Example of Permitting All Packets from a Specified Host In this first example, TCP packets from host 10.1.1.1 with TCP destination port equal to 24 are permitted. All others are denied.

To configure an ACL, use commands in IP ACCESS LIST mode and INTERFACE mode. For a complete list of all the commands related to IP ACLs, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide. To set up extended ACLs, refer to Configure an Extended IP ACL.
To delete a filter, use the no seq sequence-number command in IP ACCESS LIST mode. If you are creating a standard ACL with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured.
Configure an Extended IP ACL Extended IP ACLs filter on source and destination IP addresses, IP host addresses, TCP addresses, TCP host addresses, UDP addresses, and UDP host addresses. The traffic passes through the filter in the order of the filter’s sequence and hence you can configure the extended IP ACL by first entering IP ACCESS LIST mode, and then assigning a sequence number to the filter.
Configuring Filters Without a Sequence Number If you are creating an extended ACL with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured. Dell Networking OS assigns filters in multiples of five.
If both L2 and L3 ACLs are applied to an interface, the following rules apply: • When Dell Networking OS routes the packets, only the L3 ACL governs them because they are not filtered against an L2 ACL. • When Dell Networking OS switches the packets, first the L3 ACL filters them, then the L2 ACL filters them.
To view which IP ACL is applied to an interface, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode, or use the show running-config command in EXEC mode. Example of Viewing ACLs Applied to an Interface Dell(conf-if)#show conf interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/1 ip address 10.2.1.100 255.255.255.0...
To specify ingress, use the in keyword. Begin applying rules to the ACL with the ip access-list extended abcd command. To view the access-list, use the show command. Dell(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1 Dell(conf-if-te1/1)#ip access-group abcd in Dell(conf-if-te1/1)#show config tengigabitethernet 1/1 no ip address...
(permit or deny) to process routes. The filters are processed in sequence so that if a route prefix does not match the criterion in the first filter, the second filter (if configured) is applied. When the route prefix matches a filter, Dell Networking OS drops or forwards the packet based on the filter’s designated action.
Configuring a prefix list • Use a prefix list for route redistribution For a complete listing of all commands related to prefix lists, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide. Creating a Prefix List To create a prefix list, use the following commands.
Page 130
To delete a filter, use the no seq sequence-number command in PREFIX LIST mode.If you are creating a standard prefix list with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured.

ACL rule, a set of specific ACL rules translate to a set of FP entries. You can enable logging separately for each of these FP entries, which relate to each of the ACL entries configured in an ACL. Dell Networking OS saves a table that maps each ACL entry that matches the ACL name on the received packet, sequence number of the rule, and the interface index in the database.
• If you enabled the count of packets for the ACL entry for which you configured logging, and if the logging is deactivated in a specific interval owing to the threshold having exceeded, the count of packets that exceeded the logging threshold value during that interval is logged when the subsequent log record (in the next interval) is generated for that ACL entry.

BFD also carries less overhead than routing protocol hello mechanisms. Control packets can be encapsulated in any form that is convenient, and, on Dell Networking routers, BFD agents maintain sessions that reside on the line card, which frees resources on the route processor.
The poll and final bits are used during the handshake and in Demand mode (refer to Sessions). NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not currently support multi-point sessions, Demand mode, authentication, or control plane independence; these bits are always clear.
NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not currently support the echo function. Authentication Type, An optional method for authenticating control packets. Authentication NOTE: Dell Networking OS does not currently support the BFD authentication function. Length, Authentication Data Two important parameters are calculated using the values contained in the control packet.
State Description Administratively The local system does not participate in a particular session. Down Down The remote system is not sending control packets or at least not within the detection time for a particular session. Init The local system is communicating. Both systems are exchanging control packets.
Important Points to Remember • Dell Networking OS supports 128 sessions per stack unit at 200 minimum transmit and receive intervals with a multiplier of 3, and 64 sessions at 100 minimum transmit and receive intervals with a multiplier of 4.

• By establishing a BFD session with a specified BGP neighbor (the neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} bfd command) BFD packets originating from a router are assigned to the highest priority egress queue to minimize transmission delays. Incoming BFD control packets received from the BGP neighbor are assigned to the highest priority queue within the control plane policing (COPP) framework to avoid BFD packets drops due to queue congestion.

Disabling BFD for BGP You can disable BFD for BGP. To disable a BFD for BGP session with a specified neighbor, use the first command. To remove the disabled state of a BFD for BGP session with a specified neighbor, use the second command.

Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4) This chapter provides a general description of BGPv4 as it is supported in the Dell Networking Operating System (OS). BGP protocol standards are listed in the Standards Compliance chapter. BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between autonomous systems (AS).
Page 170
Figure 22. Internal BGP BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless interdomain routing and aggregate routes and AS paths. BGP is a path vector protocol — a computer network in which BGP maintains the path that updated information takes as it diffuses through the network. Updates traveling through the network and returning to the same node are easily detected and discarded.
Figure 23. BGP Routers in Full Mesh The number of BGP speakers each BGP peer must maintain increases exponentially. Network management quickly becomes impossible. Sessions and Peers When two routers communicate using the BGP protocol, a BGP session is started. The two end-points of that session are Peers. A Peer is also called a Neighbor.
State Description Idle BGP initializes all resources, refuses all inbound BGP connection attempts, and initiates a TCP connection to the peer. Connect In this state the router waits for the TCP connection to complete, transitioning to the OpenSent state if successful.
Figure 24. BGP Router Rules Router B receives an advertisement from Router A through eBGP. Because the route is learned through eBGP, Router B advertises it to all its iBGP peers: Routers C and D. Router C receives the advertisement but does not advertise it to any peer because its only other peer is Router D, an iBGP peer, and Router D has already learned it through iBGP from Router B.

In non-deterministic mode (the bgp non-deterministic-med command is applied), paths are compared in the order in which they arrive. This method can lead to Dell Networking OS choosing different best paths from a set of paths, depending on the order in which they were received from the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared between the adjacent paths.

This method can lead to Dell Networking OS choosing different best paths from a set of paths, depending on the order in which they were received from the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared between the adjacent paths.
Figure 26. BGP Local Preference Multi-Exit Discriminators (MEDs) If two ASs connect in more than one place, a multi-exit discriminator (MED) can be used to assign a preference to a preferred path. MED is one of the criteria used to determine the best path, so keep in mind that other criteria may impact selection, as shown in the illustration in Best Path Selection Criteria.

Implement BGP with Dell Networking OS The following sections describe how to implement BGP on Dell Networking OS. Additional Path (Add-Path) Support The add-path feature reduces convergence times by advertising multiple paths to its peers for the same address prefix without replacing existing paths with new ones.
Configure 4-byte AS numbers with the four-octet-support command. AS4 Number Representation Dell Networking OS supports multiple representations of 4-byte AS numbers: asplain, asdot+, and asdot. NOTE: The ASDOT and ASDOT+ representations are supported only with the 4-Byte AS numbers feature. If 4-Byte AS numbers are not implemented, only ASPLAIN representation is supported.
Page 181
Dynamic AS Number Notation Application Dell Networking OS applies the ASN notation type change dynamically to the running-config statements. When you apply or change an notation, the type selected is reflected immediately in the running-configuration and the show commands (refer to the following two examples).
AS Number Migration With this feature you can transparently change the AS number of an entire BGP network and ensure that the routes are propagated throughout the network while the migration is in progress. When migrating one AS to another, perhaps combining ASs, an eBGP network may lose its routing to an iBGP if the ASN changes. Migration can be difficult as all the iBGP and eBGP peers of the migrating network must be updated to maintain network reachability.
• To avoid SNMP timeouts with a large-scale configuration (large number of BGP neighbors and a large BGP Loc-RIB), Dell Networking recommends setting the timeout and retry count values to a relatively higher number. For example, t = 60 or r = 5.
BGP neighbor. By default, BGP is disabled. By default, Dell Networking OS compares the MED attribute on different paths from within the same AS (the bgp always- compare-med command is not enabled). NOTE: In Dell Networking OS, all newly configured neighbors and peer groups are disabled. To enable a neighbor or peer group, enter the neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} no shutdown command.
Disabled Enabling BGP By default, BGP is not enabled on the system. Dell Networking OS supports one autonomous system (AS) and assigns the AS number (ASN). To establish BGP sessions and route traffic, configure at least one BGP neighbor or peer.
Page 186
Disable 4-Byte support and return to the default 2-Byte format by using the no bgp four-octet-as-support command. You cannot disable 4-Byte support if you currently have a 4-Byte ASN configured. Disabling 4-Byte AS numbers also disables ASDOT and ASDOT+ number representation. All AS numbers are displayed in ASPLAIN format.
Page 187
Active For the router’s identifier, Dell Networking OS uses the highest IP address of the Loopback interfaces configured. Because Loopback interfaces are virtual, they cannot go down, thus preventing changes in the router ID. If you do not configure Loopback interfaces, the highest IP address of any interface is used as the router ID.

For an AS-path access list, as shown in the previous commands, if the AS path matches the regular expression in the access list, the route matches the access list. The following lists the regular expressions accepted in Dell Networking OS. Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4)
The add-path feature is disabled by default. not using multipath and add path simultaneously in a route reflector. NOTE: Dell Networking OS recommends To allow multiple paths sent to peers, use the following commands. Allow the advertisement of multiple paths for the same address prefix without the new paths replacing any previous ones.
One attribute you can manipulate is the COMMUNITY attribute. This attribute is an optional attribute that is defined for a group of destinations. In Dell Networking OS, you can assign a COMMUNITY attribute to BGP routers by using an IP community list. After you create an IP community list, you can apply routing decisions to all routers meeting the criteria in the IP community list.
To view the configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION COMMUNITY-LIST or CONFIGURATION EXTCOMMUNITY LIST mode or the show ip {community-lists | extcommunity-list} command in EXEC Privilege mode. Dell#show ip community-lists ip community-list standard 1 deny 701:20 deny 702:20...
In addition to permitting or denying routes based on the values of the COMMUNITY attributes, you can manipulate the COMMUNITY attribute value and send the COMMUNITY attribute with the route information. By default, Dell Networking OS does not send the COMMUNITY attribute. To send the COMMUNITY attribute to BGP neighbors, use the following command.

BGP route reflectors are intended for ASs with a large mesh; they reduce the amount of BGP control traffic. not using multipath and add path simultaneously in a route reflector. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends With route reflection configured properly, IBGP routers are not fully meshed within a cluster but all receive routing information.
EXEC Privilege mode. Aggregating Routes Dell Networking OS provides multiple ways to aggregate routes in the BGP routing table. At least one specific route of the aggregate must be in the routing table for the configured aggregate to become active.
(a numeric value) for routes that flap. When that penalty value reaches a configured limit, the route is not advertised, even if the route is up. In Dell Networking OS, that penalty value is 1024. As time passes and the route does not flap, the penalty value decrements or is decayed.

Storing Last and Bad PDUs Dell Networking OS stores the last notification sent/received and the last bad protocol data unit (PDU) received on a per peer basis. The last bad PDU is the one that causes a notification to be issued.
The following example shows how to view space requirements for storing all the PDUs. With full internet feed (205K) captured, approximately 11.8MB is required to store all of the PDUs.

Content Addressable Memory (CAM) CAM is a type of memory that stores information in the form of a lookup table. On Dell Networking systems, CAM stores Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) forwarding information, access-lists (ACLs), flows, and routing policies.
Page 226
This platform supports upto 512 CAM entries. Select 1 to configure 256 entries. Select 2 to configure 512 entries. Even though you can perform CAM carving to allocate the maximum number of NLB entries, Dell Networking recommends you to use a maximum of 64 NLB ARP entries.

Page 228
NOTE: If you change the cam-acl setting from CONFIGURATION mode, the output of this command does not reflect any changes until you save the running-configuration and reload the chassis. The default values for the show cam-acl command are: Dell#show cam-acl -- Chassis Cam ACL -- Current Settings(in block sizes)
The CAM profile on all cards must match the system profile. In most cases, the system corrects mismatches by copying the correct profile to the card, and rebooting the card. If three resets do not bring up the card, or if the system is running an Dell Networking OS version prior to version 6.3.1.1, the system displays an error message.
Verify that you have configured a CAM profile that allocates 24 K entries to the IPv4 system flow region. Allocate more entries in the IPv4Flow region to QoS. Dell Networking OS supports the ability to view the actual CAM usage before applying a service-policy. The test cam-usage service-policy command provides this test framework. For more information, refer to Pre-Calculating Available QoS CAM Space.
Control Plane Policing (CoPP) Control plane policing (CoPP) uses access control list (ACL) rules and quality of service (QoS) policies to create filters for a system’s control plane. That filter prevents traffic not specifically identified as legitimate from reaching the system control plane, rate-limits, traffic to an acceptable level.
Figure 31. CoPP Implemented Versus CoPP Not Implemented Configure Control Plane Policing The system can process a maximum of 4200 packets per second (PPS). Protocols that share a single queue may experience flaps if one of the protocols receives a high rate of control traffic even though per protocol CoPP is applied. This happens because queue- based rate limiting is applied first.

Fibre Channel traffic, and a separate InfiniBand network for high-performance inter-processor computing within server clusters, only one DCB-enabled network is required in a data center. The Dell Networking switches that support a unified fabric and consolidate multiple network infrastructures use a single input/output (I/O) device called a converged network adapter (CNA).
• Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBx) protocol NOTE: Dell Networking OS supports only the PFC, ETS, and DCBx features in data center bridging. Priority-Based Flow Control In a data center network, priority-based flow control (PFC) manages large bursts of one traffic type in multiprotocol links so that it does not affect other traffic types and no frames are lost due to congestion.
Percentage of available bandwidth allocated to a priority group. Group transmission selection algorithm (TSA) Type of queue scheduling a priority group uses. In Dell Networking OS, ETS is implemented as follows: • ETS supports groups of 802.1p priorities that have:...
– PFC enabled or disabled – No bandwidth limit or no ETS processing • ETS uses the DCB MIB IEEE 802.1azd2.5. Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBx) The data center bridging exchange (DCBx) protocol is disabled by default on the S4810; ETS is also disabled. DCBx allows a switch to automatically discover DCB-enabled peers and exchange configuration information.
NOTE: To save the pfc buffering configuration changes, save the configuration and reboot the system. NOTE: Dell Networking OS Behavior: DCB is not supported if you enable link-level flow control on one or more interfaces. For more information, refer to Ethernet Pause Frames.
Queue : 0 Dell(conf)# NOTE: In Dell Networking OS we support 4 data queues in MXL. PFC is not applied on specific dot1p priorities. ETS: Equal bandwidth is assigned to each port queue and each dot1p priority in a priority group.
5, 6, and 7. Dell Networking OS Behavior: As soon as you apply a DCB policy with PFC enabled on an interface, DCBx starts exchanging information with PFC-enabled peers. The IEEE802.1Qbb, CEE, and CIN versions of PFC Type, Length, Value (TLV) are supported.
The default: No lossless queues are configured. NOTE: Dell Networking OS Behavior: By default, no lossless queues are configured on a port. A limit of two lossless queues is supported on a port. If the amount of priority traffic that you configure to be paused exceeds the two lossless queues, an error message displays.

Although the system contains of space for shared buffers, a minimum guaranteed buffer is provided to all the internal and external ports in the system for both unicast and multicast traffic. This minimum guaranteed buffer reduces the total available shared buffer to .
5, 6, and 7. Dell Networking OS Behavior: A priority group consists of 802.1p priority values that are grouped for similar bandwidth allocation and scheduling, and that share latency and loss requirements. All 802.1p priorities mapped to the same queue must be in the same priority group.
Create a QoS output policy. CONFIGURATION mode Dell(conf)#qos-policy-output test12 The maximum 32 alphanumeric characters. Configure the percentage of bandwidth to allocate to the dot1p priority/queue traffic in the associated L2 class map.
ETS-assigned bandwidth allocation and strict-priority scheduling apply only to data queues, not to control queues. • Dell Networking OS supports hierarchical scheduling on an interface. The control traffic on Dell Networking OS is redirected to control queues as higher priority traffic with strict priority scheduling. After the control queues drain out, the remaining data traffic is scheduled to queues according to the bandwidth and scheduler configuration in the DCB map.
ETS Prerequisites and Restrictions On an S6000 switch, ETS is enabled by default on Ethernet ports with equal bandwidth assigned to each 802.1p priority. You can change the default ETS configuration only by using a DCB map. The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure ETS bandwidth allocation or strict-priority queuing in a DCB map: •...
mapped to one queue takes precedence over the strict priority group whose traffic is mapped to two queues. Therefore, in this example, scheduling traffic to priority group 1 (mapped to one strict-priority queue) takes precedence over scheduling traffic to priority group 3 (mapped to two strict-priority queues). Using ETS to Manage Converged Ethernet Traffic To use ETS for managing converged Ethernet traffic, use the following command: dcb-map stack-unit all dcb-map-name...
DCBx Port Roles To enable the auto-configuration of DCBx-enabled ports and propagate DCB configurations learned from peer DCBx devices internally to other switch ports, use the following DCBx port roles. Auto-upstream The port advertises its own configuration to DCBx peers and is willing to receive peer configuration. The port also propagates its configuration to other ports on the switch.
On a DCBx port in a manual role, all PFC, application priority, ETS recommend, and ETS configuration TLVs are enabled. When making a configuration change to a DCBx port in a Manual role, Dell Networking recommends shutting down the interface using the shutdown command, change the configuration, then re-activate the interface using the no shutdown command.
– The switch is capable of supporting the received DCB configuration values through either a symmetric or asymmetric parameter exchange. A newly elected configuration source propagates configuration changes received from a peer to the other auto-configuration ports. Ports receiving auto-configuration information from the configuration source ignore their current settings and use the configuration source information.
On the S4048, PFC and ETS use DCBx to exchange link-level configuration with DCBx peer devices. Figure 35. DCBx Sample Topology DCBx Prerequisites and Restrictions The following prerequisites and restrictions apply when you configure DCBx operation on a port: • For DCBx, on a port interface, enable LLDP in both Send (TX) and Receive (RX) mode (the protocol lldp mode command;...

You can use dot1p priorities to classify traffic in a class map and apply a service policy to an ingress port to map traffic to egress queues. NOTE: Dell Networking does not recommend mapping all ingress traffic to a single queue when using PFC and ETS. However, Dell Networking does recommend using Ingress traffic classification using the service-class dynamic dot1p command (honor dot1p) on all DCB-enabled interfaces.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) DHCP is an application layer protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses and other configuration parameters to network end- stations (hosts) based on configuration policies determined by network administrators. DHCP relieves network administrators of manually configuring hosts, which can be a tedious and error-prone process when hosts often join, leave, and change locations on the network and it reclaims IP addresses that are no longer in use to prevent address exhaustion.

Option Number and Description Domain Name Option 6 Server Specifies the domain name servers (DNSs) that are available to the client. Domain Name Option 15 Specifies the domain name that clients should use when resolving hostnames via DNS. IP Address Lease Option 51 Time Specifies the amount of time that the client is allowed to use an assigned IP address.
• IP source address validation is a sub-feature of DHCP Snooping; the Dell Networking OS uses access control lists (ACLs) internally to implement this feature and as such, you cannot apply ACLs to an interface which has IP source address validation. If...
IP source address validation on a member port of a virtual local area network (VLAN) and then to apply an access list to the VLAN, Dell Networking OS displays the first line in the following message. If you first apply an ACL to a VLAN and then enable IP source address validation on one of its member ports, Dell Networking OS displays the second line in the following message.
After an IP address is leased to a client, only that client may release the address. Dell Networking OS performs a IP + MAC source address validation to ensure that no client can release another clients address. This validation is a default behavior and is separate from IP+MAC source address validation.
You can configure an interface on the Dell Networking system to relay the DHCP messages to a specific DHCP server using the ip helper-address dhcp-address command from INTERFACE mode, as shown in the following illustration. Specify multiple DHCP servers by using the ip helper-address dhcp-address command multiple times.
Page 288

The switch can obtain a dynamically assigned IP address from a DHCP server. A start-up configuration is not received. Use bare metal provisioning (BMP) to receive configuration parameters (Dell Networking OS version and a configuration file). BMP is enabled as a factory-default setting on a switch.
To enable acquiring a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server on an interface configured with a static IP address, use the ip address dhcp command. A prompt displays to confirm the IP address reconfiguration. If you confirm, the statically configured IP address is released.
DHCP Client Operation with Other Features The DHCP client operates with other Dell Networking OS features, as the following describes. Stacking The DHCP client daemon runs only on the master unit and handles all DHCP packet transactions. It periodically synchronizes the lease file with the standby unit.
To use the router as the VRRP owner, if you enable a DHCP client on an interface that is added to a VRRP group, assign a priority less than 255 but higher than any other priority assigned in the group. Configure the System for User Port Stacking (Option 230) Set the stacking-option variable to provide stack-port detail on the DHCP server when you set the DHCP offer.
For routers between the relay agent and the DHCP server, enter the trust-downstream option. • Manually reset the remote ID for Option 82.

FCoE Transit The Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Transit feature is supported on Ethernet interfaces. When you enable the switch for FCoE transit, the switch functions as a FIP snooping bridge. NOTE: FIP snooping is not supported on Fibre Channel interfaces or in a switch stack. Fibre Channel over Ethernet FCoE provides a converged Ethernet network that allows the combination of storage-area network (SAN) and LAN traffic on a Layer 2 link by encapsulating Fibre Channel data into Ethernet frames.
Table 27. FIP Functions FIP Function Description FIP VLAN discovery FCoE devices (ENodes) discover the FCoE VLANs on which to transmit and receive FIP and FCoE traffic. FIP discovery FCoE end-devices and FCFs are automatically discovered. Initialization FCoE devices learn ENodes from the FLOGI and FDISC to allow immediate login and create a virtual link with an FCoE switch.
Page 310
ON switch.The switch operates as a lossless FIP snooping bridge to transparently forward FCoE frames between the ENode servers and the FCF switch. Figure 43. FIP Snooping on a Dell Networking Switch The following sections describe how to configure the FIP snooping feature on a switch: •...
Example. Statistical information is available for FIP Snooping-related information. For available commands, refer to the FCoE Transit chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. FIP Snooping Prerequisites Before you enable FCoE transit and configure FIP snooping on a switch, ensure that certain conditions are met.
You must apply the CAM-ACL space for the FCoE region before enabling the FIP-Snooping feature. If you do not apply CAM- ACL space, the following error message is displayed: Dell(conf)#feature fip-snooping % Error: Cannot enable fip snooping. CAM Region not allocated for Fcoe.
If you disable FCoE transit, FIP and FCoE traffic are handled as normal Ethernet frames and no FIP snooping ACLs are generated. The VLAN-specific and FIP snooping configuration is disabled and stored until you re-enable FCoE transit and the configurations are re-applied.
Table 28. Impact of Enabling FIP Snooping Impact Description MAC address learning MAC address learning is not performed on FIP and FCoE frames, which are denied by ACLs dynamically created by FIP snooping on server-facing ports in ENode mode. MTU auto-configuration MTU size is set to mini-jumbo (2500 bytes) when a port is in Switchport mode, the FIP snooping feature is enabled on the switch, and FIP snooping is enabled on all or individual VLANs.

Disabling FIPS Mode Preparing the System Before you enable FIPS mode, Dell Networking recommends making the following changes to your system. Disable the Telnet server (only use secure shell [SSH] to access the system). Disable the FTP server (only use secure copy [SCP] to transfer files to and from the system).
(deleting all the per-session encryption key information), actually enables/tests FIPS mode, generates new host- keys, and re-enables the SSH server (assuming it was enabled before enabling FIPS).

Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP) FRRP provides fast network convergence to Layer 2 switches interconnected in a ring topology, such as a metropolitan area network (MAN) or large campuses. FRRP is similar to what can be achieved with the spanning tree protocol (STP), though even with optimizations, STP can take up to 50 seconds to converge (depending on the size of network and node of failure) and may require 4 to 5 seconds to reconverge.
Ring Checking At specified intervals, the Master node sends a ring health frame (RHF) through the ring. If the ring is complete, the frame is received on its secondary port and the Master node resets its fail-period timer and continues normal operation. If the Master node does not receive the RHF before the fail-period timer expires (a configurable timer), the Master node moves from the Normal state to the Ring-Fault state and unblocks its Secondary port.
Figure 45. Example of Multiple Rings Connected by Single Switch Important FRRP Points FRRP provides a convergence time that can generally range between 150ms and 1500ms for Layer 2 networks. The Master node originates a high-speed frame that circulates around the ring. This frame, appropriately, sets up or breaks down the ring.
Important FRRP Concepts The following table lists some important FRRP concepts. Concept Explanation Ring ID Each ring has a unique 8-bit ring ID through which the ring is identified (for example, FRRP 101 and FRRP 202, as shown in the illustration in Member VLAN Spanning Two Rings Connected by One Switch.
FRRP is media and speed independent. • FRRP is a Dell proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor. • You must disable the spanning tree protocol (STP) on both the Primary and Secondary interfaces before you can enable FRRP.
Page 332
• Tag control VLAN ports. • All ports on the ring must use the same VLAN ID for the control VLAN. • You cannot configure a VLAN as both a control VLAN and member VLAN on the same ring. • Only two interfaces can be members of a control VLAN (the Master Primary and Secondary ports).
Configuring and Adding the Member VLANs Control and member VLANS are configured normally for Layer 2. Their status as Control or Member is determined at the FRRP group commands. For more information about configuring VLANS in Layer 2 mode, refer to the Layer 2 chapter.

If spanning tree and GVRP are both required, implement the rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP). The device does not support enabling GVRP and MSTP at the same time. Dell(conf)#protocol spanning-tree pvst Dell(conf-pvst)#no disable % Error: GVRP running. Cannot enable PVST.
Configure GVRP To begin, enable GVRP. To facilitate GVRP communications, enable GVRP globally on each switch. Then, GVRP configuration is per interface on a switch-by- switch basis. Enable GVRP on each port that connects to a switch where you want GVRP information exchanged. In the following example, GVRP is configured on VLAN trunk ports.
GVRP Leave message. Additionally, the interface is not dynamically added to VLAN 45 or VLAN 46, even if a GVRP Join message is received. Example of the gvrp registration Command Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#gvrp registration fixed 34,35 Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#gvrp registration forbidden 45,46 Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#show conf...
GARP devices can re-register all relevant attribute information. The device then restarts the LeaveAll timer to begin a new cycle. The LeaveAll timer must be greater than or equal to 5x of the Leave timer. The Dell Networking OS default is 10000ms.
Hot-Lock Behavior Component Redundancy Dell Networking systems eliminate single points of failure by providing dedicated or load-balanced redundancy for each component. Automatic and Manual Stack Unit Failover Stack unit failover is the process of the standby unit becoming a management unit.
Specifying an Auto-Failover Limit When a non-recoverable fatal error is detected, an automatic failover occurs. However, Dell Networking OS is configured to auto-failover only three times within any 60 minute period. You may specify a different auto-failover count. To re-enable the auto-failover-limit with its default parameters, use the redundancy auto-failover-limit command without parameters.
• Re-Enable the auto-failover-limit with its default parameters. CONFIGURATION mode redundancy auto-failover-limit (no parameters) Disabling Auto-Reboot To disable auto-reboot, use the following command. • Prevent a failed stack unit from rebooting after a failover. CONFIGURATION mode redundancy disable-auto-reboot Manually Synchronizing Management and Standby Units To manually synchronize Management and Standby units at any time, use the following command.
If any health checks on the stack unit fail, the Dell Networking OS fails over to standby stack unit. If any health checks on a line card fail, Dell Networking OS resets the card to bring it back to the correct state.
Event messages provide system administrators diagnostics and auditing information. Dell Networking OS sends event messages to the internal buffer, all terminal lines, the console, and optionally to a syslog server. For more information about event messages and configurable options, refer to Management.
Dell Networking OS does not support IGMP version 3 and versions 1 or 2 on the same subnet. • IGMP on Dell Networking OS supports 95 interfaces on S4810 and S4820 and an unlimited number of groups on all other platforms.
Figure 47. IGMP Messages in IP Packets Join a Multicast Group There are two ways that a host may join a multicast group: it may respond to a general query from its querier or it may send an unsolicited report to its querier. Responding to an IGMP Query The following describes how a host can join a multicast group.
Page 348
• To enable filtering, routers must keep track of more state information, that is, the list of sources that must be filtered. An additional query type, the Group-and-Source-Specific Query, keeps track of state changes, while the Group-Specific and General queries still refresh the existing state. •...
Page 349
The host’s third message indicates that it is only interested in traffic from sources 10.11.1.1 and 10.11.1.2. Because this request again prevents all other sources from reaching the subnet, the router sends another group-and-source query so that it can satisfy all other hosts. There are no other interested hosts so the request is recorded. Figure 50.

Dell Networking OS Behavior: Do not enter the ip igmp access-group command before creating the access-list. If you do, after entering your first deny rule, Dell Networking OS clears the multicast routing table and re-learns all groups, even those not covered by the rules in the access-list, because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of all access-lists.

If IGMP snooping is enabled on a PIM-enabled VLAN interface, data packets using the router as an Layer 2 hop may be dropped. To avoid this scenario, Dell Networking recommends that users enable IGMP snooping on server-facing end-point VLANs only.

INTERFACE VLAN mode show config Example of Configuration Output After Removing a Group-Port Association Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#show config interface Vlan 100 no ip address ip igmp snooping fast-leave shutdown Dell(conf-if-vl-100)# Disabling Multicast Flooding If the switch receives a multicast packet that has an IP address of a group it has not learned (unregistered frame), the switch floods that packet out of all ports on the VLAN.
Fast Convergence after MSTP Topology Changes When a port transitions to the Forwarding state as a result of an STP or MSTP topology change, Dell Networking OS sends a general query out of all ports except the multicast router ports. The host sends a response to the general query and the forwarding database is updated without having to wait for the query interval to expire.
In customer deployment topologies, it might be required that the traffic for certain management applications needs to exit out of the management port only. You can use EIS to control and the traffic can exit out of any port based on the route lookup in the IP stack. One typical example is an SSH session to an unknown destination or an SSH connection that is destined to the management port IP address.
Two tables, namely, Egress Interface Selection routing table and default routing table, are maintained. In the preceding table, the columns Client and Server indicate that the applications can act as both a client and a server within the switch. The Management Egress Interface Selection table contains all management routes (connected, static and default route).
• As per existing behavior, for routes in the default routing table, conflicting front-end port routes if configured has higher precedence over management routes. So there can be scenarios where the same management route is present in the EIS routing table but not in the default routing table.
The fallback route between the management and data networks is used in such a case. At any given time, end users can access Dell Networking OS applications using either ip1 or ip2. Return traffic for such end-user-originated sessions destined to management port ip1 is handled using the EIS route lookup.
Traffic type / Switch initiated traffic Switch-destined traffic Transit Traffic Application type management port is down or route lookup fails, packets are dropped Non-EIS Front-end default route will take If source TCP/UDP port matches a Traffic from management higher precedence over management application and the source IP management port to application...
EIS Behavior for ICMP: ICMP packets do not have TCP/UDP ports. To do an EIS route lookup for ICMP-based applications (ping and traceroute) using the source ip option, the management port IP address should be specified as the source IP address. If management port is down or route lookup fails, packets are dropped.
To designate an interface as a multicast router interface, use the following command. Dell Networking OS also has the capability of listening in on the incoming IGMP general queries and designate those interfaces as the multicast router interface when the frames have a non-zero IP source address. All IGMP control packets and IP multicast data traffic originating from receivers is forwarded to multicast router interfaces.
Interfaces This chapter describes interface types, both physical and logical, and how to configure them with Dell Networking Operating System (OS). • The system supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. NOTE: Only Dell-qualified optics are supported on these interfaces. Non-Dell optics are set to error-disabled state by default.
NOTE: To end output from the system, such as the output from the show interfaces command, enter CTRL+C and Dell Networking OS returns to the command prompt. NOTE: The CLI output may be incorrectly displayed as 0 (zero) for the Rx/Tx power values. To obtain the correct power information, perform a simple network management protocol (SNMP) query.

NOTE: You cannot simultaneously use egress rate shaping and ingress rate policing on the same VLAN. Dell Networking OS supports Inter-VLAN routing (Layer 3 routing in VLANs). You can add IP addresses to VLANs and use them in routing protocols in the same manner that physical interfaces are used. For more information about configuring different routing protocols, refer to the chapters on the specific protocol.
(LAG) or port channel. A LAG is “a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link” according to IEEE 802.3ad. In Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a port channel interface.
Gigabit Ethernet interface, all interfaces at 1000 Mbps are kept up, and all 10/100/1000 interfaces that are not set to 1000 speed or auto negotiate are disabled. Dell Networking OS brings up the interfaces interfaces that are set to auto negotiate so that their speed is identical to the speed of the first channel member in the port channel.
The physical interfaces in a port channel can be on any line card in the chassis, but must be the same physical type. NOTE: Port channels can contain a mix of Ethernet interfaces, but Dell Networking OS disables the interfaces that are...
Dell> When more than one interface is added to a Layer 2-port channel, Dell Networking OS selects one of the active interfaces in the port channel to be the primary port. The primary port replies to flooding and sends protocol data units (PDUs). An asterisk in the show interfaces port-channel brief command indicates the primary port.

Dell# Maintenance Using TDR The time domain reflectometer (TDR) is supported on all Dell Networking switch/routers. TDR is an assistance tool to resolve link issues that helps detect obvious open or short conditions within any of the four copper pairs.
The system supports Dell-qualified transceivers and only some of the non Dell-qualified transceivers. If the system displays an error message similar to the following, the transceiver is not Dell-qualified. The Dell Networking OS places the interface in error-disabled (operationally down) state.
Similarly, you can enable the fan-out mode to configure the QSFP port on a device to act as an SFP or SFP+ port. As the QSA enables a QSFP or QSFP+ port to be used as an SFP or SFP+ port, Dell Networking OS does not immediately detect the QSA after you insert it into a QSFP port cage.
NOTE: In the following show interfaces tengigbitethernet commands, the ports 1,2, and 3 are inactive and no physical SFP or SFP+ connection actually exists on these ports. However, Dell Networking OS still perceives these ports as valid and the output shows that pluggable media (optical cables) is inserted into these ports. This is a software limitation for this release.
To view a dampening summary for the entire system, use the show interfaces dampening summary command from EXEC Privilege mode. Dell# show interfaces dampening summary 20 interfaces are configured with dampening. 3 interfaces are currently suppressed. Following interfaces are currently suppressed:...
The link MTU is the frame size of a packet, and the IP MTU size is used for IP fragmentation. If the system determines that the IP packet must be fragmented as it leaves the interface, Dell Networking OS divides the packet into fragments no bigger than the size set in the ip mtu command.
Using Ethernet Pause Frames for Flow Control Ethernet pause frames and threshold settings are supported on the Dell Networking OS. Ethernet Pause Frames allow for a temporary stop in data transmission. A situation may arise where a sending device may transmit data faster than a destination device can accept it.

Dell>show ip tcp reduced-syn-ack-wait Enabling Directed Broadcast By default, Dell Networking OS drops directed broadcast packets destined for an interface. This default setting provides some protection against denial of service (DoS) attacks. To enable Dell Networking OS to receive directed broadcasts, use the following command.
The host table contains both statically configured and dynamically learnt host and IP addresses. If Dell Networking OS cannot resolve the domain, it tries the domain name assigned to the local system. If that does not resolve the partial domain, Dell Networking OS searches the list of domains configured.
Configure this command up to six times to specify a list of possible domain names. Dell Networking OS searches the domain names in the order they were configured until a match is found or the list is exhausted.

Figure 53. ARP Learning via ARP Request Beginning with Dell Networking OS version 8.3.1.0, when you enable ARP learning via gratuitous ARP, the system installs a new ARP entry, or updates an existing entry for all received ARP requests.

Time since last interface status change: 00:07:44 Configurations Using UDP Helper When you enable UDP helper and the destination IP address of an incoming packet is a broadcast address, Dell Networking OS suppresses the destination address of the packet. The following sections describe various configurations that employ UDP helper to direct broadcasts.
UDP Helper with Subnet Broadcast Addresses When the destination IP address of an incoming packet matches the subnet broadcast address of any interface, the system changes the address to the configured broadcast address and sends it to matching interface. In the following illustration, Packet 1 has the destination IP address 1.1.1.255, which matches the subnet broadcast address of VLAN 101.
To display debugging information for troubleshooting, use the debug ip udp-helper command. Example of the debug ip udp-helper Command Dell(conf)# debug ip udp-helper 01:20:22: Pkt rcvd on Te 5/1 with IP DA (0xffffffff) will be sent on Te 5/2 Te 5/3 Vlan 3 01:44:54: Pkt rcvd on Te 7/1 is handed over for DHCP processing.
Implementing IPv6 with Dell Networking NOTE: Even though Dell Networking OS listens to all ports, you can only use the ports starting from 1024 for IPv6 traffic. Ports from 0 to 1023 are reserved for internal use and you cannot use them for IPv6 traffic.
Dell Networking OS manipulation of IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration supports the router side only. Neighbor discovery (ND) messages are advertised so the neighbor can use this information to auto-configure its address. However, received ND messages are not used to create an IPv6 address.
Page 420
Version (4 bits) The Version field always contains the number 6, referring to the packet’s IP version. Traffic Class (8 bits) The Traffic Class field deals with any data that needs special handling. These bits define the packet priority and are defined by the packet Source.
Hop Limit (8 bits) The Hop Limit field shows the number of hops remaining for packet processing. In IPv4, this is known as the Time to Live (TTL) field and uses seconds rather than hops. Each time the packet moves through a forwarding router, this field decrements by 1. If a router receives a packet with a Hop Limit of 1, it decrements it to 0 (zero).
Discard the packet and send an ICMP Parameter Problem Code 2 message to the packet’s Source IP Address identifying the unknown option type. Discard the packet and send an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 2 message to the packet’s Source IP Address only if the Destination IP Address is not a multicast address.
Dell Networking OS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system. The following table lists the Dell Networking OS version in which an IPv6 feature became available for each platform. The sections following the table give greater detail about the feature.
ICMP for IPv6 combines the roles of ICMP, IGMP and ARP in IPv4. Like IPv4, it provides functions for reporting delivery and forwarding errors, and provides a simple echo service for troubleshooting. The Dell Networking OS implementation of ICMPv6 is based on RFC 4443.
Informational messages provide diagnostic functions and additional host functions, such as Neighbor Discovery and Multicast Listener Discovery. These messages also include Echo Request and Echo Reply messages. The Dell Networking OS ping and traceroute commands extend to support IPv6 addresses. These commands use ICMPv6 Type-2 messages.
Figure 60. NDP Router Redirect IPv6 Neighbor Discovery of MTU Packets You can set the MTU advertised through the RA packets to incoming routers, without altering the actual MTU setting on the interface. The ipv6 nd mtu command sets the value advertised to routers. It does not set the actual MTU rate. For example, if you set ipv6 nd mtu to 1280, the interface still passes 1500-byte packets, if that is what is set with the mtu command.

Dell Networking OS supports both inbound and outbound SSH sessions using IPv6 addressing. Inbound SSH supports accessing the system through the management interface as well as through a physical Layer 3 interface. For SSH configuration details, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide. Configuration Tasks for IPv6 The following are configuration tasks for the IPv6 protocol.
Assigning an IPv6 Address to an Interface Essentially, IPv6 is enabled in Dell Networking OS simply by assigning IPv6 addresses to individual router interfaces. You can use IPv6 and IPv4 together on a system, but be sure to differentiate that usage carefully. To assign an IPv6 address to an interface, use the ipv6 address command.
Configuring Telnet with IPv6 The Telnet client and server in Dell Networking OS supports IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet session directly to the router using an IPv6 Telnet client, or you can initiate an IPv6 Telnet connection from the router.

In a data center network, Dell EqualLogic and Compellent iSCSI storage arrays are connected to a converged Ethernet network using the data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBx) through stacked and/or non-stacked Ethernet switches.
switch is configured to use dot1p priority-queue assignments to ensure that iSCSI traffic in these sessions receives priority treatment when forwarded on stacked switch hardware. Figure 61. iSCSI Optimization Example Monitoring iSCSI Traffic Flows The switch snoops iSCSI session-establishment and termination packets by installing classifier rules that trap iSCSI protocol packets to the CPU for examination.
The switch uses the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) to discover Dell EqualLogic devices on the network. LLDP is enabled by default. For more information about LLDP, refer to Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
The following message displays the first time a Dell EqualLogic array is detected and describes the configuration changes that are automatically performed: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %IFMGR-5-IFM_ISCSI_AUTO_CONFIG: This switch is being configured for optimal conditions to support iSCSI traffic which will cause some automatic configuration to occur including jumbo frames and flow-control on all ports;...
Enable and Disable iSCSI Optimization The following describes enabling and disabling iSCSI optimizaiton. NOTE: iSCSI monitoring is disabled by default. iSCSI auto-configuration and auto-detection is enabled by default. If you enable iSCSI, flow control is automatically enabled on all interfaces. To disable flow control on all interfaces, use the no flow control rx on tx off command and save the configuration.
iSCSI Optimization Prerequisites The following are iSCSI optimization prerequisites. • iSCSI optimization requires LLDP on the switch. LLDP is enabled by default (refer to Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)). • iSCSI optimization requires configuring two ingress ACL groups The ACL groups are allocated after iSCSI Optimization is configured.

Intermediate System to Intermediate System The intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS) protocol that uses a shortest-path-first algorithm. Dell Networking supports both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of IS-IS. IS-IS Protocol Overview The IS-IS protocol, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses a shortest-path-first algorithm.
Figure 62. ISO Address Format Multi-Topology IS-IS Multi-topology IS-IS (MT IS-IS) allows you to create multiple IS-IS topologies on a single router with separate databases. Use this feature to place a virtual physical topology into logical routing domains, which can each support different routing and security policies.

• Setting the Overload Bit • Debuging IS-IS Enabling IS-IS By default, IS-IS is not enabled. The system supports one instance of IS-IS. To enable IS-IS globally, create an IS-IS routing process and assign a NET address. To exchange protocol information with neighbors, enable IS-IS on an interface, instead of on a network as with other routing protocols. In IS-IS, neighbors form adjacencies only when they are same IS type.
Page 451
To view the IS-IS configuration, enter the show isis protocol command in EXEC Privilege mode or the show config command in ROUTER ISIS mode. Dell#show isis protocol IS-IS Router: <Null Tag> System Id: EEEE.EEEE.EEEE IS-Type: level-1-2 Manual area address(es): 47.0004.004d.0001...

Another method of controlling routing information is to filter the information through a prefix list. Prefix lists are applied to incoming or outgoing routes and routes must meet the conditions of the prefix lists or Dell Networking OS does not install the route in the routing table. The prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces running IS-IS.

ROUTER ISIS-AF IPV6 mode distribute-list redistributed-override in Redistributing IPv4 Routes In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the IS-IS process. With the redistribute command syntax, you can include BGP, OSPF, RIP, static, or directly connected routes in the IS-IS process.
Another use for the overload bit is to prevent other routers from using this router as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations. For example, if the IS-IS routing database is out of memory and cannot accept new LSPs, Dell Networking OS sets the overload bit and IS-IS traffic continues to transit the system.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) A link aggregation group (LAG), referred to as a port channel by the Dell Networking OS, can provide both load-sharing and port redundancy across line cards. You can enable LAGs as static or dynamic. Introduction to Dynamic LAGs and LACP A link aggregation group (LAG), referred to as a port channel by Dell Networking OS, can provide both load-sharing and port redundancy across line cards.
You can configure link dampening on individual members of a LAG. LACP Modes Dell Networking OS provides three modes for configuration of LACP — Off, Active, and Passive. • Off — In this state, an interface is not capable of being part of a dynamic LAG. LACP does not run on any port that is configured to be in this state.
Dell(conf-if-te-4/16)#no shutdown Dell(conf-if-te-4/16)#port-channel-protocol lacp Dell(conf-if-te-4/16-lacp)#port-channel 32 mode active The port-channel 32 mode active command shown here may be successfully issued as long as there is no existing static channel- member configuration in LAG 32. Setting the LACP Long Timeout PDUs are exchanged between port channel (LAG) interfaces to maintain LACP sessions.
Figure 64. Shared LAG State Tracking To avoid packet loss, redirect traffic through the next lowest-cost link (R3 to R4). Dell Networking OS has the ability to bring LAG 2 down if LAG 1 fails, so that traffic can be redirected. This redirection is what is meant by shared LAG state tracking. To achieve this functionality, you must group LAG 1 and LAG 2 into a single entity, called a failover group.
2d1h45m: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-OSTATE_DN: Changed interface state to down: Po 2 To view the status of a failover group member, use the show interface port-channel command. Dell#show interface port-channel 2 Port-channel 2 is up, line protocol is down (Failover-group 1 is down)

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) This chapter describes how to configure and use the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP). 802.1AB (LLDP) Overview LLDP — defined by IEEE 802.1AB — is a protocol that enables a local area network (LAN) device to advertise its configuration and receive configuration information from adjacent LLDP-enabled LAN infrastructure devices.
Organizationally Specific TLVs. Figure 78. LLDPDU Frame Optional TLVs The Dell Networking OS supports these optional TLVs: management TLVs, IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 organizationally specific TLVs, and TIA-1057 organizationally specific TLVs. Management TLVs A management TLV is an optional TLVs sub-type. This kind of TLV contains essential management information about the sender.
Page 498
Eight TLV types have been defined by the IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 working groups as a basic part of LLDP; the IEEE OUI is 00-80-C2. You can configure the Dell Networking system to advertise any or all of these TLVs.
• LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device — any device that provides access to an IEEE 802 LAN to an LLDP-MED endpoint device and supports IEEE 802.1AB (LLDP) and TIA-1057 (LLDP-MED). The Dell Networking system is an LLDP-MED network connectivity device. Regarding connected endpoint devices, LLDP-MED provides network connectivity devices with the ability to: •...
Page 500
• The possible values of the LLDP-MED device type are shown in the following. The Dell Networking system is a network connectivity device, which is Type 4. When you enable LLDP-MED in Dell Networking OS (using the advertise med command), the system begins transmitting this TLV.
Page 501
An integer represents the application type (the Type integer shown in the following table), which indicates a device function for which a unique network policy is defined. An individual LLDP-MED network policy TLV is generated for each application type that you specify with the Dell Networking OS CLI (Advertising TLVs).
Page 502
• Power Value — Dell Networking advertises the maximum amount of power that can be supplied on the port. By default the power is 15.4W, which corresponds to a power value of 130, based on the TIA-1057 specification. You can advertise a different power value using the max-milliwatts option with the power inline auto | static command.
Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface. • Dell Networking systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000.

Microsoft Network Load Balancing Network load balancing (NLB) is a clustering functionality that is implemented by Microsoft on Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 operating systems (OSs). NLB uses a distributed methodology or pattern to equally split and balance the network traffic load across a set of servers that are part of the cluster or group.
When an ARP request is sent to a server cluster, either the active server or all the servers send a reply, depending on the cluster configuration. If the active server sends a reply, the Dell switch learns the active server’s MAC address. If all servers reply, the switch registers only the last received ARP reply, and the switch learns one server’s actual MAC address;...

Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) is supported on Dell Networking OS. Protocol Overview MSDP is a Layer 3 protocol that connects IPv4 protocol-independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-SM) domains. A domain in the context of MSDP is a contiguous set of routers operating PIM within a common boundary defined by an exterior gateway protocol, such as border gateway protocol (BGP).
RP in more than one area. New sources register with the backup RP. Receivers join toward the new RP and connectivity is maintained. Implementation Information The Dell Networking OS implementation of MSDP is in accordance with RFC 3618 and Anycast RP is in accordance with RFC 3446. Configure Multicast Source Discovery Protocol Configuring MSDP is a four-step process.

Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) — specified in IEEE 802.1Q-2003 — is a rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)-based spanning tree variation that improves per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+). MSTP allows multiple spanning tree instances and allows you to map many VLANs to one spanning tree instance to reduce the total number of required instances.
Implementation Information MSTP is implemented as follows in Dell Networking OS: • The Dell Networking OS MSTP implementation is based on IEEE 802.1Q-2003 and interoperates only with bridges that also use this standard implementation. • MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP.
Specify the keyword vlan then the VLANs that you want to participate in the MSTI. Examples of Configuring and Viewing MSTI The following examples shows the msti command. Dell(conf)#protocol spanning-tree mstp Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 1 vlan 100 Dell(conf-mstp)#msti 2 vlan 200-300 Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
All bridges in the MSTP region must have the same VLAN-to-instance mapping. To view which instance a VLAN is mapped to, use the show spanning-tree mst vlan command from EXEC Privilege mode. Dell(conf-mstp)#name my-mstp-region Dell(conf-mstp)#exit Dell(conf)#do show spanning-tree mst config MST region name: my-mstp-region Revision: 0 MSTI VID...
For a bridge to be in the same MSTP region as another, all three of these qualities must match exactly. The default values for the name and revision number must match on all Dell Networking OS devices. If there are non-Dell devices that participate in MSTP, ensure these values match on all devices.
Max-hops — the maximum number of hops a BPDU can travel before a receiving switch discards it. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that only experienced network administrators change MSTP parameters. Poorly planned modification of MSTP parameters can negatively affect network performance.
Example of the forward-delay Parameter To view the current values for MSTP parameters, use the show running-config spanning-tree mstp command from EXEC privilege mode. Dell(conf-mstp)#forward-delay 16 Dell(conf-mstp)#exit Dell(conf)#do show running-config spanning-tree mstp protocol spanning-tree mstp no disable name my-mstp-region MSTI 1 VLAN 100...
Dell(conf-if-te-3/11)# Flush MAC Addresses after a Topology Change Dell Networking OS has an optimized MAC address flush mechanism for RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ that flushes addresses only when necessary, which allows for faster convergence during topology changes. However, you may activate the flushing mechanism defined by 802.1Q-2003 using the tc-flush-standard command, which flushes MAC addresses after every topology change notification.
Privilege mode. MSTP Sample Configurations The running-configurations support the topology shown in the following illustration. The configurations are from Dell Networking OS systems. Figure 97.

Because protocol control traffic in the Dell Networking OS is redirected using the MAC address, and multicast control traffic and multicast data traffic might map to the same MAC address, the Dell Networking OS might forward data traffic with certain MAC addresses to the CPU in addition to control traffic.
Limiting the Number of Multicast Routes When the total number of multicast routes on a system limit is reached, the Dell Networking OS does not process any IGMP or multicast listener discovery protocol (MLD) joins to PIM — though it still processes leave messages — until the number of entries decreases below 95% of the limit.
Page 559
Dell Networking OS Behavior: Do not enter the ip igmp access-group command before creating the access-list. If you do, after entering your first deny rule, Dell Networking OS clears the multicast routing table and re-learns all groups, even those not covered by the rules in the access-list, because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of all access-lists.

To permit or deny PIM Join/Prune messages on an interface using an extended IP access list, use the following command. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends not using the ip pim join-filter command on an interface between a source and the RP router. Using this command in this scenario could cause problems with the PIM-SM source registration process resulting in excessive traffic being sent to the CPU of both the RP and PIM DR of the source.
IPv4 or IPv6 object tracking is available on Dell Networking OS. Object tracking allows the Dell Networking OS client processes, such as virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP), to monitor tracked objects (for example, interface or link status) and take appropriate action when the state of an object changes.
Figure 100. Object Tracking Example When you configure a tracked object, such as an IPv4/IPv6 a route or interface, you specify an object number to identify the object. Optionally, you can also specify: • UP and DOWN thresholds used to report changes in a route metric. •...
For OSPF, you can set the resolution in the range from 1 to 1592, where the default is 1. • The resolution value used to map static routes is not configurable. By default, Dell Networking OS assigns a metric of 0 to static routes.
Track Layer 3 Interfaces • Track an IPv4/IPv6 Route For a complete listing of all commands related to object tracking, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide.

Open shortest path first (OSPFv2 for IPv4) and OSPF version 3 (OSPF for IPv6) are supported on Dell Networking OS. This chapter provides a general description of OSPFv2 (OSPF for IPv4) and OSPFv3 (OSPF for IPv6) as supported in the Dell Networking Operating System (OS).
A not-so-stubby area (NSSA) can import AS external route information and send it to the backbone. It cannot receive external AS information from the backbone or other areas. However, a virtual link can traverse it. • Totally stubby areas are referred to as no summary areas in the Dell Networking OS. Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3)
Each router has a unique ID, written in decimal format (A.B.C.D). You do not have to associate the router ID with a valid IP address. However, to make troubleshooting easier, Dell Networking recommends that the router ID and the router’s IP address reflect each other.
Page 579
Figure 102. OSPF Routing Examples Backbone Router (BR) A backbone router (BR) is part of the OSPF Backbone, Area 0. This includes all ABRs. It can also include any routers that connect only to the backbone and another ABR, but are only part of Area 0, such as Router I in the previous example.
IP address that all OSPF routers on the network segment are listening on. These router designations are not the same ad the router IDs described earlier. The DRs and BDRs are configurable in Dell Networking OS. If you do not define DR or BDR, the system assigns them. OSPF looks at the priority of the routers on the segment to determine which routers are the DR and BDR.
For all LSA types, there are 20-byte LSA headers. One of the fields of the LSA header is the link-state ID. Each router link is defined as one of four types: type 1, 2, 3, or 4. The LSA includes a link ID field that identifies, by the network number and mask, the object this link connects to.
Figure 103. Priority and Cost Examples OSPF with Dell Networking OS The Dell Networking OS supports up to 10,000 OSPF routes for OSPFv2. Within the that 10,000 routes, you can designate up to 8,000 routes as external and up to 2,000 as inter/intra area routes.
When the restarting router completes its restart, it flushes the Type 9 and 11 LSAs, notifying its neighbors that the restart is complete. This notification happens before the grace period expires. Dell Networking routers support the following OSPF graceful restart functionality: •...
In Dell Networking OS, the OSPF dead interval value is, by default, set to 40 seconds, and is independent of the OSPF hello interval. Configuring a hello interval does not change the dead interval in Dell Networking OS. In contrast, the OSPF dead interval on a Cisco router is, by default, four times as long as the hello interval.
In the following example, the dead interval is set at 4x the hello interval (shown in bold).

Policy-based Routing (PBR) Policy-based Routing (PBR) allows a switch to make routing decisions based on policies applied to an interface. Overview When a router receives a packet it normally decides where to forward it based on the destination address in the packet, which is used to look up an entry in a routing table.
• If the specified next-hops are not reachable, the normal routing table is used to forward the traffic. • Dell Networking OS supports multiple next-hop entries in the redirect lists. • Redirect-lists are applied at Ingress. PBR with Redirect-to-Tunnel Option: The user can provide a tunnel id for a redirect rule.
Dell Networking OS assigns the first available sequence number to a rule configured without a sequence number and inserts the rule into the PBR CAM region next to the existing entries. Because the order of rules is important, ensure that you configure any necessary sequence numbers.

Private VLANs (PVLAN) The private VLAN (PVLAN) feature is supported on Dell Networking OS. For syntax details about the commands described in this chapter, refer to the Private VLANs commands chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
– There are two types of secondary VLAN — community VLAN and isolated VLAN. PVLAN port types include: • Community port — a port that belongs to a community VLAN and is allowed to communicate with other ports in the same community VLAN and with promiscuous ports.
Layer 3 traffic is still transmitted across secondary VLANs. NOTE: The outputs of the show arp and show vlan commands provide PVLAN data.

The bridge with the bridge value for bridge priority is elected root. Because all bridges use the default priority (until configured otherwise), the lowest MAC address is used as a tie-breaker.

This chapter describes how to use and configure Quality of Service service (QoS) features on the switch. Differentiated service is accomplished by classifying and queuing traffic, and assigning priorities to those queues. Table 69. Dell Networking Operating System (OS) Support for Port-Based, Policy-Based Features Feature...
Create WRED Profiles Egress Figure 113. Dell Networking QoS Architecture Implementation Information The Dell Networking QoS implementation complies with IEEE 802.1p User Priority Bits for QoS Indication. It also implements these Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents: Quality of Service (QoS)
Setting dot1p Priorities for Incoming Traffic Dell Networking OS places traffic marked with a priority in a queue based on the following table. If you set a dot1p priority for a port-channel, all port-channel members are configured with the same value. You cannot assign a dot1p value to an individual interface in a port-channel.
VLAN is 0. Dell Networking OS Behavior: Hybrid ports can receive untagged, tagged, and priority tagged frames. The rate metering calculation might be inaccurate for untagged ports because an internal assumption is made that all frames are treated as tagged. Internally, the ASIC adds a 4-bytes tag to received untagged frames.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: Rate shaping is effectively rate limiting because of its smaller buffer size. Rate shaping on tagged ports is slightly greater than the configured rate and rate shaping on untagged ports is slightly less than configured rate.
Class maps differentiate traffic so that you can apply separate quality of service policies to different types of traffic. For both class maps, Layer 2 and Layer 3, Dell Networking OS matches packets against match criteria in the order that you configure them.
Page 683
4. In cases such as these, where class-maps with overlapping ACL rules are applied to different queues, use the keyword order. Dell Networking OS writes to the CAM ACL rules with lower order numbers (order numbers closer to 0) before rules with higher order numbers so that packets are matched as you intended.
Page 684
To display all class-maps or a specific class map, use the following command. Dell Networking OS Behavior: An explicit “deny any" rule in a Layer 3 ACL used in a (match any or match all) class-map creates a "default to Queue 0" entry in the CAM, which causes unintended traffic classification. In the following example, traffic is classified in two Queues, 1 and 2.
NOTE: To avoid issues misconfiguration causes, Dell Networking recommends configuring either DCBX or Egress QoS features, but not both simultaneously. If you enable both DCBX and Egress QoS at the same time, the DCBX configuration is applied and unexpected behavior occurs on the Egress QoS.
Page 686
Default Bandwidth Percentage for 8– Queue System Queue System 6.67% 13.33% 26.67% 53.33% NOTE: In Dell Networking OS we support 8 data queues in S4048, S6000, Z9500 and 4 data queues in S3048, S4810. S4820T and, S5000. Quality of Service (QoS)
When you assign a percentage to one queue, note that this change also affects the amount of bandwidth that is allocated to other queues. Therefore, whenever you are allocating bandwidth to one queue, Dell Networking recommends evaluating your bandwidth requirements for all other queues as well.
Page 688
Dell Networking OS provides the ability to honor DSCP values on ingress packets using Trust DSCP feature. The following table lists the standard DSCP definitions and indicates to which queues Dell Networking OS maps DSCP values. When you configure trust DSCP, the matched packets and matched bytes counters are not incremented in the show qos statistics.
Page 689
• If you apply a service policy that contains an ACL to more than one interface, Dell Networking OS uses ACL optimization to conserve CAM space. The ACL optimization behavior detects when an ACL exists in the CAM rather than writing it to the CAM multiple times.
Creating Output Policy Maps Create an output policy map. CONFIGURATION mode policy-map-output After you create an output policy map, do one or more of the following: Applying an Output QoS Policy to a Queue Specifying an Aggregate QoS Policy Applying an Output Policy Map to an Interface Apply the policy map to an interface.
The following example creates a DSCP color map profile, color-awareness policy, and applies it to interface te 1/11. Create the DSCP color map profile, bat-enclave-map, with a yellow drop precedence , and set the DSCP values to 9,10,11,13,15,16 Dell(conf)# qos dscp-color-map bat-enclave-map Dell(conf-dscp-color-map)# dscp yellow 9,10,11,13,15,16 Dell (conf-dscp-color-map)# exit Assign the color map, bat-enclave-map to interface te 1/11 .
Enabling QoS Rate Adjustment By default while rate limiting, policing, and shaping, Dell Networking OS does not include the Preamble, SFD, or the IFG fields. These fields are overhead; only the fields from MAC destination address to the CRC are used for forwarding and are included in these rate metering calculations.
QoS rate adjustment is disabled by default. • Specify the number of bytes of packet overhead to include in rate limiting, policing, and shaping calculations. CONFIGURATION mode qos-rate-adjust overhead-bytes For example, to include the Preamble and SFD, type qos-rate-adjust 8. For variable length overhead fields, know the number of bytes you want to include.
After you create a WRED profile, you must specify to which traffic Dell Networking OS should apply the profile. Dell Networking OS assigns a color (also called drop precedence) — red, yellow, or green — to each packet based on it DSCP value before queuing it.
• If you do not configure Dell Networking OS to honor DSCP values on ingress (refer to Honoring DSCP Values on Ingress Packets), all traffic defaults to green drop precedence. • Assign a WRED profile to either yellow or green traffic.
Pre-Calculating Available QoS CAM Space Before Dell Networking OS version 7.3.1, there was no way to measure the number of CAM entries a policy-map would consume (the number of CAM entries that a rule uses is not predictable; from 1 to 16 entries might be used per rule depending upon its complexity).
space on the buffer and traffic manager (BTM) (ingress or egress) can be consumed by only one or few types of traffic, leaving no space for other types. You can apply a WRED profile to a policy-map so that the specified traffic can be prevented from consuming too much of the BTM resources.
Configure a WRED profile, and specify the threshold and maximum drop rate. WRED mode Dell(conf-wred) #wred—profile thresh-1 Dell(conf-wred) #threshold min 100 max 200 max-drop-rate 40 Configure another WRED profile, and specify the threshold and maximum drop rate.

RIPv2 is multicasting for route updates on IP multicast address 224.0.0.9. Implementation Information Dell Networking OS supports both versions of RIP and allows you to configure one version globally and the other version on interfaces or both versions on the interfaces.
Controlling Route Metrics • Debugging RIP For a complete listing of all commands related to RIP, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Interface Guide. Enabling RIP Globally By default, RIP is not enabled in Dell Networking OS. To enable RIP globally, use the following commands.
Page 712
After designating networks with which the system is to exchange RIP information, ensure that all devices on that network are configured to exchange RIP information. The Dell Networking OS default is to send RIPv1 and to receive RIPv1 and RIPv2. To change the RIP version globally, use the version command in ROUTER RIP mode.
Page 713
Those routes must meet the conditions of the prefix list; if not, Dell Networking OS drops the route. Prefix lists are globally applied on all interfaces running RIP. Configure the prefix list in PREFIX LIST mode prior to assigning it to the RIP process.
Page 714
Setting the Send and Receive Version To change the RIP version globally or on an interface in Dell Networking OS, use the following command. To specify the RIP version, use the version command in ROUTER RIP mode. To set an interface to receive only one or the other version, use the ip rip send version or the ip rip receive version commands in INTERFACE mode.
Page 715
Default routes are not enabled in RIP unless specified. Use the default-information originate command in ROUTER RIP mode to generate a default route into RIP. In Dell Networking OS, default routes received in RIP updates from other routes are advertised if you configure the default-information originate command.
Page 716
Summarize Routes Routes in the RIPv2 routing table are summarized by default, thus reducing the size of the routing table and improving routing efficiency in large networks. By default, the autosummary command in ROUTER RIP mode is enabled and summarizes RIP routes up to the classful network boundary.

RMON is an industry-standard implementation that monitors network traffic by sharing network monitoring information. RMON provides both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring facility and long-term statistics collection on Dell Networking Ethernet interfaces. RMON operates with the simple network management protocol (SNMP) and monitors all nodes on a local area network (LAN) segment.
1, which is configured with the RMON event command. Possible events include a log entry or an SNMP trap. If the 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.1 value changes to 0 (falling-threshold 0), the alarm is reset and can be triggered again. Dell(conf)#rmon alarm 10 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.1 20 delta rising-threshold 15 1 falling-threshold 0 1 owner nms1 Configuring an RMON Event To add an event in the RMON event table, use the rmon event command in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION mode.
The user nms1 owns the row that is created in the event table by this command. This configuration also generates an SNMP trap when the event is triggered using the SNMP community string “eventtrap”. Dell(conf)#rmon event 1 log trap eventtrap description “High ifOutErrors” owner nms1 Configuring RMON Collection Statistics To enable RMON MIB statistics collection on an interface, use the RMON collection statistics command in INTERFACE CONFIGURATION mode.

Max-age — the length of time the bridge maintains configuration information before it refreshes that information by recomputing the RST topology. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that only experienced network administrators change the Rapid Spanning Tree group parameters. Poorly planned modification of the RSTP parameters can negatively affect network performance.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode hello-time seconds NOTE: With large configurations (especially those configurations with more ports) Dell Networking recommends increasing the hello-time. The range is from 1 to 10. The default is 2 seconds. • Change the max-age parameter.
CAUTION: Configure EdgePort only on links connecting to an end station. If you enable EdgePort on an interface connected to a network, it can cause loops. Dell Networking OS Behavior: Regarding bpduguard shutdown-on-violation behavior: • If the interface to be shut down is a port channel, all the member ports are disabled in the hardware.
To verify that EdgePort is enabled on a port, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode or the show config command from INTERFACE mode. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using the show config command from INTERFACE mode. In the following example, the bold line indicates that the interface is in EdgePort mode.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Dell Networking operating software supports Software-Defined Networking (SDN). For more information, refer to the SDN Deployment Guide. Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
Security This chapter describes several ways to provide security to the Dell Networking system. For details about all the commands described in this chapter, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. AAA Accounting Accounting, authentication, and authorization (AAA) accounting is part of the AAA security model.
Page 736
– tacacs+: designate the security service. Currently, Dell Networking OS supports only TACACS+. Suppressing AAA Accounting for Null Username Sessions When you activate AAA accounting, the Dell Networking OS software issues accounting records for all users on the system, including users whose username string is NULL because of protocol translation.
If the first method list does not respond or returns an error, Dell Networking OS applies the next method list until the user either passes or fails the authentication. If the user fails a method list, Dell Networking OS does not apply the next method list.
Page 738
To view the configuration, use the show config command in LINE mode or the show running-config in EXEC Privilege mode. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends using the none method only as a backup. This method does not authenticate users. The none and enable methods do not work with secure shell (SSH).
Using AAA authentication, the switch acts as a RADIUS or TACACS+ client to send authentication requests to a TACACS+ or RADIUS server. • TACACS+ — When using TACACS+, Dell Networking sends an initial packet with service type SVC_ENABLE, and then sends a second packet with just the password. The TACACS server must have an entry for username $enable$. •...
Every command in Dell Networking OS is assigned a privilege level of 0, 1, or 15. You can configure up to 16 privilege levels in Dell Networking OS. Dell Networking OS is pre-configured with three privilege levels and you can configure 13 more. The three pre- configured levels are: •...
Page 741
Enabling and Disabling Privilege Levels (optional) For a complete listing of all commands related to Dell Networking OS privilege levels and passwords, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. Configuring a Username and Password In Dell Networking OS, you can assign a specific username to limit user access to the system.
Page 742
In addition to assigning privilege levels to the user, you can configure the privilege levels of commands so that they are visible in different privilege levels. Within Dell Networking OS, commands have certain privilege levels. With the privilege command, you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to the default.

This protocol transmits authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a central RADIUS server and a RADIUS client (the Dell Networking system). The system sends user information to the RADIUS server and requests authentication of the user and password. The RADIUS server returns one of the following responses: •...
RADIUS Authentication Dell Networking OS supports RADIUS for user authentication (text password) at login and can be specified as one of the login authentication methods in the aaa authentication login command. When configuring AAA authorization, you can configure to limit the attributes of services available to a user. When you enable authorization, the network access server uses configuration information from the user profile to issue the user's session.
Monitoring RADIUS (optional) For a complete listing of all Dell Networking OS commands related to RADIUS, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. NOTE: RADIUS authentication and authorization are done in a single step. Hence, authorization cannot be used independent of authentication.
Page 747
To specify multiple RADIUS server hosts, configure the radius-server host command multiple times. If you configure multiple RADIUS server hosts, Dell Networking OS attempts to connect with them in the order in which they were configured. When Dell Networking OS attempts to authenticate a user, the software connects with the RADIUS server hosts one at a time, until a RADIUS server host responds with an accept or reject response.
TACACS+ Remote Authentication • Specifying a TACACS+ Server Host For a complete listing of all commands related to TACACS+, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. Choosing TACACS+ as the Authentication Method One of the login authentication methods available is TACACS+ and the user’s name and password are sent for authentication to the TACACS hosts specified.
Page 749
If authentication fails using the primary method, Dell Networking OS employs the second method (or third method, if necessary) automatically. For example, if the TACACS+ server is reachable, but the server key is invalid, Dell Networking OS proceeds to the next authentication method.
To specify multiple TACACS+ server hosts, configure the tacacs-server host command multiple times. If you configure multiple TACACS+ server hosts, Dell Networking OS attempts to connect with them in the order in which they were configured. To view the TACACS+ configuration, use the show running-config tacacs+ command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Enabling SCP and SSH Secure shell (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. Dell Networking OS is compatible with SSH versions 1.5 and 2, in both the client and server modes. SSH sessions are encrypted and use authentication.
Specifying an SSH Version The following example uses the ip ssh server version 2 command to enable SSH version 2 and the show ip ssh command to confirm the setting. Dell(conf)#ip ssh server version 2 Dell(conf)#do show ip ssh SSH server : enabled.
Examples The following example configures the time-based rekey threshold for an SSH session to 30 minutes. Dell(conf)#ip ssh rekey time 30 The following example configures the volume-based rekey threshold for an SSH session to 4096 megabytes. Dell(conf)#ip ssh rekey volume 4096...

Secure Shell (SSH) is enabled by default using the SSH Password Authentication method. Enabling SSH Authentication by Password Authenticate an SSH client by prompting for a password when attempting to connect to the Dell Networking system. This setup is the simplest method of authentication and uses SSH version 1.

Dell(conf)#ip telnet server enable Dell(conf)#no ip telnet server enable VTY Line and Access-Class Configuration Various methods are available to restrict VTY access in Dell Networking OS. These depend on which authentication scheme you use — line, local, or remote. Table 80. VTY Access...
Dell Networking OS retrieves the access class from the VTY line. The Dell Networking OS takes the access class from the VTY line and applies it to ALL users. Dell Networking OS does not need to know the identity of the incoming user and can immediately apply the access class. If the authentication method is RADIUS, TACACS+, or line, and you have configured an access class for the VTY line, Dell Networking OS immediately applies it.
The Dell Networking OS supports the constrained RBAC model. With a constrained RBAC model, you can inherit permissions when you create a new user role, restrict or add commands a user can enter and the actions the user can perform. This allows for greater flexibility in assigning permissions for each command to each role and as a result, it is easier and much more efficient to administer user rights.
Page 761
When you enable role-based only AAA authorization using the aaa authorization role-only command in Configuration mode, the Dell Networking OS checks to ensure that you do not lock yourself out and that the user authentication is available for all terminal lines.
Dell(conf)#aaa authorization role-only System-Defined RBAC User Roles By default, the Dell Networking OS provides 4 system defined user roles. You can create up to 8 additional user roles. NOTE: You cannot delete any system defined roles. The system defined user roles are as follows: •...

For RBAC and privilege levels, the Dell Networking OS RADIUS and TACACS+ implementation supports two vendor-specific options: privilege level and roles. The Dell Networking vendor-ID is 6027 and the supported option has attribute of type string, which is titled “Force10-avpair”. The value is a string in the following format:...
“attribute” and “value” are an attribute-value (AV) pair defined in the Dell Network OS TACACS+ specification, and “sep” is “=”. These attributes allow the full set of features available for TACACS+ authorization and are authorized with the same attributes for RADIUS.
The following example applies the accounting default method to the user role secadmin (security administrator). Dell(conf-vty-0)# accounting commands role secadmin default Displaying Active Accounting Sessions for Roles To display active accounting sessions for each user role, use the show accounting command in EXEC mode.

Service Provider Bridging Service provider bridging provides the ability to add a second VLAN ID tag in an Ethernet frame and is referred to as VLAN stacking in the Dell Networking OS. VLAN Stacking VLAN stacking, also called Q-in-Q, is defined in IEEE 802.1ad — Provider Bridges, which is an amendment to IEEE 802.1Q — Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks.
To switch traffic, add these interfaces to a non-default VLAN-Stack-enabled VLAN. • Dell Networking cautions against using the same MAC address on different customer VLANs, on the same VLAN-Stack VLAN. • You cannot ping across the trunk port link if one or both of the systems is an S4048–ON.
Related Configuration Tasks • Configuring the Protocol Type Value for the Outer VLAN Tag • Configuring Dell Networking OS Options for Trunk Ports • Debugging VLAN Stacking • VLAN Stacking in Multi-Vendor Networks Creating Access and Trunk Ports To create access and trunk ports, use the following commands.
The default is 9100. To display the S-Tag TPID for a VLAN, use the show running-config command from EXEC privilege mode. Dell Networking OS displays the S-Tag TPID only if it is a non-default value. Configuring Dell Networking OS Options for Trunk Ports 802.1ad trunk ports may also be tagged members of a VLAN so that it can carry single and double-tagged traffic.
While 802.1Q requires that the inner tag TPID is 0x8100, it does not require a specific value for the outer tag TPID. Systems may use any 2-byte value; Dell Networking OS uses 0x9100 (shown in the following) while non-Dell Networking systems might use a different value.
Page 776
For example, 0x8100 and any other TPID beginning with 0x81 were treated as the same TPID, as shown in the following illustration. Dell Networking OS Versions 8.2.1.0 and later differentiate between 0x9100 and 0x91XY, also shown in the following illustration.

By default, packets are colored green, and DEI is marked 0 on egress. Honoring the Incoming DEI Value To honor the incoming DEI value, you must explicitly map the DEI bit to an Dell Networking OS drop precedence. Precedence can have one of three colors.
Lower-priority packets that are treated as best-effort. Lowest-priority packets that are always dropped (regardless of congestion status). • Honor the incoming DEI value by mapping it to an Dell Networking OS drop precedence.

Dell Networking OS could recognize the significance of the destination MAC address and rewrite it to the original Bridge Group Address. In Dell Networking OS version 8.2.1.0 and later, the L2PT MAC address is user-configurable, so you can specify an address that non-Dell Networking systems can recognize and rewrite the address at egress edge.
Figure 124. VLAN Stacking with L2PT Implementation Information • L2PT is available for STP, RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ BPDUs. • No protocol packets are tunneled when you enable VLAN stacking. • L2PT requires the default CAM profile. Enabling Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling To enable Layer 2 protocol tunneling, use the following command.
Specifying a Destination MAC Address for BPDUs By default, Dell Networking OS uses a Dell Networking-unique MAC address for tunneling BPDUs. You can configure another value. To specify a destination MAC address for BPDUs, use the following command.
Provider Backbone Bridging IEEE 802.1ad—Provider Bridges amends 802.1Q—Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks so that service providers can use 802.1Q architecture to offer separate VLANs to customers with no coordination between customers, and minimal coordination between customers and the provider. 802.1ad specifies that provider bridges operating spanning tree use a reserved destination MAC address called the Provider Bridge Group Address, 01-80-C2-00-00-08, to exchange BPDUs instead of the Bridge Group Address, 01-80-C2-00-00-00, originally specified in 802.1Q.
Implementation Information Dell Networking sFlow is designed so that the hardware sampling rate is per line card port-pipe and is decided based on all the ports in that port-pipe.
• Dell Networking OS exports all sFlow packets to the collector. A small sampling rate can equate to many exported packets. A backoff mechanism is automatically applied to reduce this amount. Some sampled packets may be dropped when the exported packet rate is high and the backoff mechanism is about to or is starting to take effect.
Show Commands Dell Networking OS includes the following sFlow display commands. • Displaying Show sFlow Globally • Displaying Show sFlow on an Interface • Displaying Show sFlow on a Line Card Displaying Show sFlow Global To view sFlow statistics, use the following command.
Display sFlow configuration information and statistics on a specific interface. EXEC mode show sflow interface interface-name Examples of the sFlow show Commands The following example shows the show sflow interface command.

sflow collector ip-address agent-addr ip-address [number [max-datagram-size number] ] | [max-datagram-size number ] The default UDP port is 6343. The default max-datagram-size is 1400. Changing the Polling Intervals The sflow polling-interval command configures the polling interval for an interface in the maximum number of seconds between successive samples of counters sent to the collector.
To export extended-gateway data, BGP must learn the IP destination address. • If the IP destination address is not learned via BGP the Dell Networking system does not export extended-gateway data. • If the IP source address is learned via IGP, srcAS and srcPeerAS are zero.

The following describes SNMP implementation information. • Dell Networking OS supports SNMP version 1 as defined by RFC 1155, 1157, and 1212, SNMP version 2c as defined by RFC 1901, and SNMP version 3 as defined by RFC 2571. •...
NOTE: The configurations in this chapter use a UNIX environment with net-snmp version 5.4. This environment is only one of many RFC-compliant SNMP utilities you can use to manage your Dell Networking system using SNMP. Also, these configurations use SNMP version 2c.
User ACLs override group ACLs. Set up SNMP As previously stated, Dell Networking OS supports SNMP version 1 and version 2 that are community-based security models. The primary difference between the two versions is that version 2 supports two additional protocol operations (informs operation and snmpgetbulk query) and one additional object (counter64 object).
Setting Up User-Based Security (SNMPv3) When setting up SNMPv3, you can set users up with one of the following three types of configuration for SNMP read/write operations. Users are typically associated to an SNMP group with permissions provided, such as OID view. •...
You may only retrieve (read) managed object values if your management station is a member of the same community as the SNMP agent. Dell Networking supports RFC 4001, Textual Conventions for Internet Work Addresses that defines values representing a type of internet address. These values display for ipAddressTable objects using the snmpwalk command.

• When you query an IPv4 icmpMsgStatsInPkts object in the ICMP table by using the snmpwalk command, the echo response output may not be displayed. To correctly display ICMP statistics, such as echo response, use the show ip traffic command. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Dell Networking OS elects a management (master) unit, a standby unit, and all other units are member units. Dell Networking OS presents all of the units like line cards; for example, to access Ten GigabitEthernet Port 1 on Stack Unit 1, enter interface tengigabitethernet 1/1 from CONFIGURATION mode.
The virtual IP address is used to log in to the current master unit of the stack. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported as virtual IPs. Use the following command to configure a virtual IP: Dell(conf)#virtual-ip {ip-address | ipv6–address | dhcp} Failover Roles If the stack master fails (for example, is powered off), it is removed from the stack topology.
Page 823
NOTE: If the removed management unit is brought up as a standalone unit or as part of a different stack, there is a possibility of MAC address collisions. A standalone is added to a stack. The standalone and the master unit have the same priority, but the standalone has a lower MAC address, so the standalone reboots.
Stacking LAG When multiple links are used between stack units, Dell Networking OS automatically bundles them in a stacking LAG to provide aggregated throughput and redundancy. The stacking LAG is established automatically and transparently by Dell Networking OS (without user configuration) after peering is detected and behaves as follows: •...
In such an event, or when the master unit is removed, the standby unit becomes the stack manager and Dell Networking OS elects a new standby unit. Dell Networking OS resets the failed master unit: after online, it becomes a member unit;...
All the ports in a stack-group are placed in stacking mode. Unused ports in that group cannot be used as data ports. • Stacking on the device is accomplished through front-end user ports on the chassis. • All stack units must have the same version of Dell Networking OS.

Page 827
• If the new unit is running an Dell Networking OS version prior to 8.3.10.x , the unit is put into a card problem state, Dell Networking OS is not upgraded, and a syslog message is raised. The unit must be upgraded to Dell Networking OS version 8.3.12.0 before you can proceed.
Page 828
EXEC Privilege mode reload Dell Networking OS automatically assigns a number to the new unit and adds it as member switch in the stack. The new unit synchronizes its running and startup configurations with the stack. After the units are reloaded, the system reboots. The units come up in a stack after the reboot completes.
Page 829
When the stack-group configuration is complete, the system prints a syslog for reload. Dell#configure Dell(conf)#stack-unit 4 stack-group 13 Dell(conf)#02:39:12: %STKUNIT4-M:CP %IFMGR-6-STACK_PORTS_ADDED: Ports Fo 4/52 have been configured as stacking ports.

After the reload is complete, the four units come up as a stack with unit 1 as the management unit, unit 2 as the standby unit, and the remaining units as stack-members. All units in the stack can be accessed from the management unit.
If you are adding units to an existing stack, you can either: • allow Dell Networking OS to automatically assign the new unit a position in the stack, or • manually determine each units position in the stack by configuring each unit to correspond with the stack before connecting it.

• The Dell Networking OS supports only one spanning tree instance (0). For multiple instances, enable the multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) or per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+). You may only enable one flavor of spanning tree at any one time.
• All ports in virtual local area networks (VLANs) and all enabled interfaces in Layer 2 mode are automatically added to the spanning tree topology at the time you enable the protocol. • To add interfaces to the spanning tree topology after you enable STP, enable the port and configure it for Layer 2 using the switchport command.

You can modify the spanning tree parameters. The root bridge sets the values for forward-delay, hello-time, and max-age and overwrites the values set on other bridges participating in STP. NOTE: Dell Networking recommends that only experienced network administrators change the spanning tree parameters. Poorly planned modification of the spanning tree parameters can negatively affect network performance.
NOTE: With large configurations (especially those with more ports) Dell Networking recommends increasing the hello-time. The range is from 1 to 10. the default is 2 seconds. • Change the max-age parameter (the refresh interval for configuration information that is generated by recomputing the spanning tree topology).
BPDU violation. The following example shows a scenario in which an edgeport might unintentionally receive a BPDU. The port on the Dell Networking system is configured with Portfast. If the switch is connected to the hub, the BPDUs that the switch generates might trigger an undesirable topology change.

As shown in the following illustration (STP topology 2, upper right), a loop can also be created if the forwarding port on Switch B becomes busy and does not forward BPDUs within the configured forward-delay time. As a result, the blocking port on Switch C transitions to a forwarding state, and both Switch A and Switch C transmit traffic to Switch B (STP topology 2, lower right).

System time and date settings and the network time protocol (NTP) are supported on Dell Networking OS. You can set system times and dates and maintained through the NTP. They are also set through the Dell Networking Operating System (OS) command line interfaces (CLIs) and hardware settings.
Dell Networking OS synchronizes with a time-serving host to get the correct time. You can set Dell Networking OS to poll specific NTP time-serving hosts for the current time. From those time-serving hosts, the system chooses one NTP host with which to synchronize and serve as a client to the NTP host.
2w1d11h : NTP: Maximum Slew:-0.000470, Remainder = -0.496884 Disabling NTP on an Interface By default, NTP is enabled on all active interfaces. If you disable NTP on an interface, Dell Networking OS drops any NTP packets sent to that interface.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: Dell Networking OS uses an encryption algorithm to store the authentication key that is different from previous Dell Networking OS versions; Dell Networking OS uses data encryption standard (DES) encryption to store the key in the startup-config when you enter the ntp authentication-key command. Therefore, if your system boots with a startup- configuration from an Dell Networking OS version in which you have configured ntp authentication-key, the system cannot correctly decrypt the key and cannot authenticate the NTP packets.

Uplink Failure Detection (UFD) Uplink failure detection (UFD) provides detection of the loss of upstream connectivity and, if used with network interface controller (NIC) teaming, automatic recovery from a failed link. Feature Description A switch provides upstream connectivity for devices, such as servers. If a switch loses its upstream connectivity, downstream devices also lose their connectivity.
Figure 135. Uplink Failure Detection How Uplink Failure Detection Works UFD creates an association between upstream and downstream interfaces. The association of uplink and downlink interfaces is called an uplink-state group. An interface in an uplink-state group can be a physical interface or a port-channel (LAG) aggregation of physical interfaces. An enabled uplink-state group tracks the state of all assigned upstream interfaces.
Figure 136. Uplink Failure Detection Example If only one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, a specified number of downstream ports associated with the upstream interface are put into a Link-Down state. You can configure this number and is calculated by the ratio of the upstream port bandwidth to the downstream port bandwidth in the same uplink-state group.
• If one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, either a user-configurable set of downstream ports or all the downstream ports in the group are put in an Operationally Down state with an UFD Disabled error. The order in which downstream ports are disabled is from the lowest numbered port to the highest.
NOTE: Downstream interfaces in an uplink-state group are put into a Link-Down state with an UFD-Disabled error message only when all upstream interfaces in the group go down. To revert to the default setting, use the no downstream disable links command. (Optional) Enable auto-recovery so that UFD-disabled downstream ports in the uplink-state group come up when a disabled upstream port in the group comes back up.
Example of Syslog Messages Before and After Entering the clear ufd-disable uplink-state-group Command (S50) The following example message shows the Syslog messages that display when you clear the UFD-Disabled state from all disabled downstream interfaces in an uplink-state group by using the clear ufd-disable uplink-state-group group-id command.

Default VLAN. Dell Networking OS supports IEEE 802.1Q tagging at the interface level to filter traffic. When you enable tagging, a tag header is added to the frame after the destination and source MAC addresses. That information is preserved as the frame moves through the network.
To activate the VLAN, after you create a VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN. Example of Verifying a Port-Based VLAN To view the configured VLANs, use the show vlan command in EXEC Privilege mode. Dell#show vlan Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs Status...
(T) or untagged (U). For more information about this command, refer to the Layer 2 chapter of the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. To tag frames leaving an interface in Layer 2 mode, assign that interface to a port-based VLAN to tag it with that VLAN ID. To tag interfaces, use the following commands.
NOTE: You cannot assign an IP address to the Default VLAN (VLAN 1). To assign another VLAN ID to the Default VLAN, use the default vlan-id vlan-id command. In Dell Networking OS, you can place VLANs and other logical interfaces in Layer 3 mode to receive and send routed traffic. For more information, refer to Bulk Configuration.
This presents a vulnerability because both interfaces are initially placed in the native VLAN, VLAN 1, and for that period customers are able to access each other's networks. Dell Networking OS has a Null VLAN to eliminate this vulnerability. When you enable the Null VLAN, all ports are placed into it by default, so even if you activate the physical ports of multiple customers, no traffic is allowed to traverse the links until each port is place in another VLAN.
Layer 3 (L3) end point in another VLT domain. Enable the VLT proxy gateway using the link layer discover protocol (LLDP) method or the static configuration. For more information, refer to Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.

TLV. • Dell Networking devices not configured with VLT proxy gateway process standard TLVs and ignore TLVs configured with VLT proxy gateway. The LLDP organizational TLV passes local destination MAC address information to peer VLT domain devices so they can act as a proxy gateway.
Page 897
• You must have at least one link connection to each unit of the VLT domain. Following are the prerequisites for Proxy Gateway LLDP configuration: • You must globally enable LLDP. • You cannot have interface–level LLDP disable commands on the interfaces configured for proxy gateway and you must enable both transmission and reception.
• Assures high availability. CAUTION: Dell Networking does not recommend enabling Stacking and VLT simultaneously. If you enable both features at the same time, unexpected behavior occurs. As shown in the following example, VLT presents a single logical Layer 2 domain from the perspective of attached devices that have a virtual link trunk terminating on separate chassis in the VLT domain.
The following example shows stacking at the access, VLT in aggregation, and Layer 3 at the core. The aggregation layer is mostly in the L2/L3 switching/routing layer. For better resiliency in the aggregation, Dell Networking recommends running the internal gateway protocol (IGP) on the VLTi VLAN to synchronize the L3 routing table across the two nodes on a VLT system.
Figure 141. Enhanced VLT VLT Terminology The following are key VLT terms. • Virtual link trunk (VLT) — The combined port channel between an attached device and the VLT peer switches. • VLT backup link — The backup link monitors the vitality of VLT peer switches. The backup link sends configurable, periodic keep alive messages between the VLT peer switches.
Page 903
Configuration. • Dell Networking strongly recommends that the VLTi (VLT interconnect) be a static LAG and that you disable LACP on the VLTi. • Ensure that the spanning tree root bridge is at the Aggregation layer. If you enable RSTP on the VLT device, refer to RSTP and for guidelines to avoid traffic loss.
MAC address. You can configure the primary role. – In a VLT domain, the peer switches must run the same Dell Networking OS software version. – Separately configure each VLT peer switch with the same VLT domain ID and the VLT version. If the system detects mismatches between VLT peer switches in the VLT domain ID or VLT version, the VLT Interconnect (VLTi) does not activate.
Page 905
VLT peer switch using the VLTi connection. – If the size of the MTU for VLTi members is less than 1496 bytes, MAC addresses may not be synced. Dell Networking recommends retaining the default MTU allocation (1554 bytes) for VLTi members.
Page 906
– Enable Layer 3 VLAN connectivity VLT peers by configuring a VLAN network interface for the same VLAN on both switches. – Dell Networking does not recommend enabling peer-routing if the CAM is full. To enable peer-routing, a minimum of two local DA spaces for wild card functionality are required.
Primary and Secondary VLT Peers To prevent issues when connectivity between peers is lost, you can designate Primary and Secondary roles for VLT peers . You can elect or configure the Primary Peer. By default, the peer with the lowest MAC address is selected as the Primary Peer. You can configure another peer as the Primary Peer using the VLT domain domain-id role priority priority-value command.
VLT and IGMP Snooping When configuring IGMP Snooping with VLT, ensure the configurations on both sides of the VLT trunk are identical to get the same behavior on both sides of the trunk. When you configure IGMP snooping on a VLT node, the dynamically learned groups and multicast router ports are automatically learned on the VLT peer node.
Page 909
Figure 142. PIM-Sparse Mode Support on VLT On each VLAN where the VLT peer nodes act as the first hop or last hop routers, one of the VLT peer nodes is elected as the PIM designated router. If you configured IGMP snooping along with PIM on the VLT VLANs, you must configure VLTi as the static multicast router port on both VLT peer switches.
To verify the PIM neighbors on the VLT VLAN and on the multicast port, use the show ip pim neighbor, show ip igmp snooping mrouter, and show running config commands. You can configure virtual link trunking (VLT) peer nodes as rendezvous points (RPs) in a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain.
Page 911
peer-routing Configure the peer-routing timeout. VLT DOMAIN mode peer-routing—timeout value value: Specify a value (in seconds) from 1 to 65535. chThe default value is infinity (without configuring the timeout). VLT Multicast Routing VLT Multicast Routing provides resiliency to multicast routed traffic during the multicast routing protocol convergence period after a VLT link or VLT peer fails using the least intrusive method (PIM) and does not alter current protocol behavior.
Run RSTP on both VLT peer switches. The primary VLT peer controls the RSTP states, such as forwarding and blocking, on both the primary and secondary peers. Dell Networking recommends configuring the primary VLT peer as the RSTP primary root device and configuring the secondary VLT peer as the RSTP secondary root device.
Configuring VLT To configure VLT, use the following procedure. Prerequisites: Before you begin, make sure that both VLT peer switches are running the same Dell Networking OS version and are configured for RSTP as described in RSTP Configuration. For VRRP operation, ensure that you configure VRRP groups and L3 routing on each VLT...

Keep the following points in mind when you configure VLT nodes in a PVLAN: • Configure the VLTi link to be in trunk mode. Do not configure the VLTi link to be in access or promiscuous mode. • You can configure a VLT LAG or port channel to be in trunk, access, or promiscuous port modes when you include the VLT LAG in a PVLAN.
PVLAN Operations When One VLT Peer is Down When a VLT port moves to the Admin or Operationally Down state on only one of the VLT nodes, the VLT Lag is still considered to be up.

3 forwarding level. VLT peer routing enables you to replace VRRP with routed VLT to route the traffic from Layer 2 access nodes. With proxy ARP, hosts can resolve the MAC address of the VLT node even when VLT node is down. If the ICL link is down when a VLT node receives an ARP request for the IP address of the VLT peer, owing to LAG-level hashing algorithm in the top-of-rack (TOR) switch, the incorrect VLT node responds to the ARP request with the peer MAC address.
VLT Nodes as Rendezvous Points for Multicast Resiliency You can configure virtual link trunking (VLT) peer nodes as rendezvous points (RPs) in a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) domain. PIM uses a VLT node as the RP to distribute multicast traffic to a multicast group. Messages to join the multicast group (Join messages) and data are sent towards the RP, so that receivers can discover who the senders are and begin receiving traffic destined for the multicast group.

Peer routing for IPv6 packets in a VLT domain is supported. This mechanism of IPv6 peer routing is supported on all the platforms that are compatible with IPv6 routing and support VLT. This functionality performs the following operations: • Forwarding the control traffic to correct VLT node when the control traffic reaches wrong VLT node due to hashing at the VLT LAG level on the ToR.
Tunneling of IPv6 ND in a VLT Domain Tunneling an NA packet from one VLT node to its peer is required because an NA may reach the wrong VLT node instead of arriving at the destined VLT node. This may occur because of LAG hashing at the top of the rack (ToR) switch. The tunneled NA will carry some control information along with it so that the appropriate VLT node can mimic the ingress port as the VLT interface rather than pointing to VLT node’s interconnecting link (ICL link).
Page 946
Figure 145. Sample Configuration of IPv6 Peer Routing in a VLT Domain Neighbor Solicitation from VLT Hosts Consider a case in which NS for VLT node1 IP reaches VLT node1 on VLT interface and NS for VLT node1 IP reaches VLT node2 due to LAG level hashing in TOR.
Page 947
Consider a situation in which NA for VLT node1 reaches VLT node1 on non-VLT interface and NA for VLT node1 reaches VLT node2 on non-VLT interface. When VLT node1 receives NA on VLT interface, it learns the Host MAC address on received interface. This learned neighbor entry is synchronized to VLT node2 as it is learned on ICL.
Page 948
Non-VLT host to Non-VLT host traffic flow When VLT node receives traffic from non-VLT host intended to the non-VLT host, it does neighbor entry lookup and routes traffic over ICL interface. If traffic reaches wrong VLT peer, it routes the traffic over ICL. Router Solicitation When VLT node receives router Solicitation on VLT interface/non-VLT interface it consumes the packets and will send RA back on the received interface.
Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) is supported on Dell Networking OS. Overview The switch acts as the VXLAN gateway and performs the VXLAN Tunnel End Point (VTEP) functionality. VXLAN is a technology where in the data traffic from the virtualized servers is transparently transported over an existing legacy network.
• VXLAN Hypervisor • Service Node (SN) • Legacy TOR Network NVP Controller is the network controller for managing cloud components. The OVSDB protocol is the Virtualization protocol used for communication between VTEPs and the controller. In the current release, the qualified Platform (NVP) controller for the VXLAN Gateway function is NSX-from VMWare.
• VXLAN communicates with the VTEP using a standard protocol called OvsDb Protocol. The protocol uses the JSON RPC- based message format. • The VTEP acts according to the TOR schema defined by VMWare. The solution is very specific to VMWare-based orchestration platforms and does not work with other orchestration platforms.

Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows a physical router to partition itself into multiple Virtual Routers (VRs). The control and data plane are isolated in each VR so that traffic does NOT flow across VRs.Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) allows multiple instances of a routing table to co-exist within the same router at the same time.
VRF supports route redistribution between routing protocols (including static routes) only when the routes are within the same VRF. Dell Networking OS uses both the VRF name and VRF ID to manage VRF instances. The VRF name and VRF ID number are assigned using the ip vrf command.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate a single point of failure in a statically routed network. VRRP Overview VRRP is designed to eliminate a single point of failure in a statically routed network. VRRP specifies a MASTER router that owns the next hop IP and MAC address for end stations on a local area network (LAN).
Figure 158. Basic VRRP Configuration VRRP Benefits With VRRP configured on a network, end-station connectivity to the network is not subject to a single point-of-failure. End-station connections to the network are redundant and are not dependent on internal gateway protocol (IGP) protocols to converge or update routing tables.
For a complete listing of all commands related to VRRP, refer to Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide. Creating a Virtual Router To enable VRRP, create a virtual router. In Dell Networking Operating System (OS), the virtual router identifier (VRID) identifies a VRRP group.

Configuring VRRP Authentication Simple authentication of VRRP packets ensures that only trusted routers participate in VRRP processes. When you enable authentication, Dell Networking OS includes the password in its VRRP transmission. The receiving router uses that password to verify the transmission.

MASTER. NOTE: To avoid throttling VRRP advertisement packets, Dell Networking OS recommends increasing the VRRP advertisement interval to a value higher than the default value of one second. If you do change the time interval between VRRP advertisements on one router, change it on all participating routers.

Track an Interface or Object You can set Dell Networking OS to monitor the state of any interface according to the virtual group. Each VRRP group can track up to 12 interfaces and up to 20 additional objects, which may affect the priority of the VRRP group. If the tracked interface goes down, the VRRP group’s priority decreases by a default value of 10 (also known as cost).

Examples of Configuring and Viewing the track Command The following example shows how to configure tracking using the track command. Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)#vrrp-group 111 Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-111)#track Tengigabitethernet 1/2 The following example shows how to verify tracking using the show conf command.

You can configure the delay for up to 15 minutes, after which VRRP enables normally. NOTE: When you reload a node that contains VRRP configuration and is enabled for VLT, Dell Networking recommends that you configure the reload timer by using the vrrp delay reload command to ensure that VRRP is functional.
When you configure both CLIs, the later timer rules VRRP enabling. For example, if you set vrrp delay reload 600 and vrrp delay minimum 300, the following behavior occurs: • When the system reloads, VRRP waits 600 seconds (10 minutes) to bring up VRRP on all interfaces that are up and configured for VRRP.

Figure 160. VRRP for an IPv6 Configuration NOTE: In a VRRP or VRRPv3 group, if two routers come up with the same priority and another router already has MASTER status, the router with master status continues to be MASTER even if one of two routers has a higher IP or IPv6 address.

VRRP in a VRF: Non-VLAN Scenario The following example shows how to enable VRRP in a non-VLAN. The following example shows a typical use case in which you create three virtualized overlay networks by configuring three VRFs in two switches. The default gateway to reach the Internet in each VRF is a static route with the next hop being the virtual IP address configured in VRRP.
