1.17   clear subscriber

1.17.1   Purpose

Clears or reauthenticates one or more subscriber sessions.

1.17.2   Command Mode

exec

1.17.3   Syntax Description

1.17.4   Default

None

1.17.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clear subscriber command to clear or reauthenticate one or more subscriber sessions. When restarted, terminated subscriber sessions restart with new parameters.

The encapsulation sessions construct specifies the PPP or PPPoE subscriber sessions to be cleared; see Table 4. This construct is available only for 802.1Q and ATM PVCs.

The circuit-id argument represents the following keywords and arguments identified in Table 5. All circuit-IDs relevant to the subscriber session must be included to effectively clear the subscriber:

{clips [clips-session] | pppoe [pppoe-session] | vlan-id vlan-id [ [pppoe pppoe-session] | clips [clips-session]] | vpi-vci vpi vci [pppoe [pppoe-session] | clips [clips-session]]}

When the command clears a PPP or PPPoE session, the session terminates and logs off the subscriber. It then attempts to renegotiate and reauthenticate a new session with the remote peer on that circuit. For a session on a RFC 1483 bridge-encapsulated circuit, the command brings down and brings back up the circuit, and attempts to reauthenticate the subscriber.

Table 6 lists the range of values for the chan-num and sub-chan-num arguments for various types of channelized ports. The SmartEdge 100, SmartEdge 600, SmartEdge 800, SmartEdge 1200, and SmartEdge 1200H routers do not support channelized ports.

For information about the format of a structured username, see Configuring Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting.

1.26.4   Default

Routes are reflected from one client to other clients.

1.26.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the client-to-client reflection command to enable route reflection between clients of a BGP route reflector.

By default, routes are reflected between clients of a route reflector. Under certain circumstances, a network administrator may not want routes that have been learned from one client to be reflected to other clients. One example is the case where clients are fully meshed. In this case, use the no client-to-client reflection command to disable route reflection.

Use the no form of this command to disable client-to-client reflection.

1.26.6   Examples

The following example configures the router as a unicast route reflector for neighbors, 102.210.210.1 and 122.101.12.145, and disables client-to-client reflection:

[local]Redback(config)#context local

1.27   clips-group

1.27.1   Purpose

Creates an empty group to which you can assign redundant ports and permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) on which will be created dynamic clientless IP service selection (CLIPS) circuits.

1.27.2   Command Mode

Global configuration

1.27.3   Syntax Description

1.27.4   Default

No CLIPS groups are created.

1.27.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clips-group command to create an empty group to which you can assign redundant ports and PVCs on which will be created dynamic CLIPS circuits. CLIPS groups are available only for Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports and the 802.1Q PVCs configured on them.

Note:  

The SmartEdge router associates the CLIPS group with the slot of the first port or PVC that you assign to the group. To change the slot, you must delete the group, recreate it, and then assign to it as the first member, a port or PVC that you have configured on the card in the new slot.

Use the no form of this command to delete the CLIPS group.

1.27.6   Examples

The following example shows how to create the dynamic-clips group for the dhcp context:

[local]Redback(config)#clips-group dynamic-clips dhcp context dhcp

1.28   clips pvc

1.28.1   Purpose

Creates a static circuit or a range of clientless IP service selection (CLIPS) static circuits on an Ethernet port, a static 802.1Q permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on an Ethernet port, or an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) PVC, and enters CLIPS PVC configuration mode.

1.28.2   Command Mode

• ATM PVC configuration
• dot1q PVC configuration
• link group configuration
• link PVC configuration
• port configuration

1.28.3   Syntax Description

1.28.4   Default

No static circuits are created.

1.28.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clips pvc command to create a static circuit or a range of static circuits on an Ethernet port, an 802.1Q PVC on an Ethernet port, or an ATM PVC, and enter CLIPS PVC configuration mode.

You must first enter the service clips command in ATM PVC, dot1q PVC, link group, link PVC, or port configuration mode for this command to be available.

You must have encapsulated the ATM PVC with RFC 1483 bridged encapsulation (bridge1483 keyword) for this command to be available in ATM PVC configuration mode.

You cannot create static CLIPS PVCs on on-demand ATM or 802.1Q PVCs.

You can specify any type of encapsulation for an 802.1Q PVC or Ethernet port, but if you encapsulate the PVC using the multi keyword, you cannot create a CLIPS PVC on a child circuit on the PVC.

If you create a range of static circuits, the session ID for each circuit is appended to the prefix1 argument in the bind auto-subscriber command (in CLIPS PVC configuration mode).

You can create up to 8,000 static circuits on an Ethernet port, an 802.1Q PVC on an Ethernet port, or an ATM PVC.

Use the no form of this command to delete an existing static circuit or range of static circuits.

1.28.6   Examples

The following example shows how to create 10 circuits with session numbers 1 to 10 on port 1 of an Ethernet traffic card in slot 4:

[local]Redback(config)#port ether 4/1

[local]Redback(config-port)#service clips

[local]Redback(config-port)#clips pvc 1 through 10

[local]Redback(config-clips-pvc)#

1.29   clock set

1.29.1   Purpose

Sets the time of day and calendar date of both the system clock and the real-time clock.

1.29.2   Command Mode

exec (10)

1.29.3   Syntax Description

1.29.4   Default

None

1.29.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clock set command in exec mode to set the time of day and calendar date of the time-of-day clock and, if present on the installed controller cards, the real-time clock (RTC). The time-of-day clock for a SmartEdge router is implemented in software. When a system with an XCRP4 ControllerSMRP2 Controller card is powered on, the RTC sets the time-of-day clock; otherwise, the time-of-day clock is undefined until it is configured and set using the operating system. The time-of-day clock can be maintained by synchronization with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Periodically, the operating system updates the RTC based on the current value of the time-of-day clock.

To configure the system clock, which is different from the time-of-day clock and RTC, enter the system clock-source, system clock-source external, or system clock-source timing-type command in global configuration mode. To configure the time-of-day clock, enter the clock set, system clock summer-time, or system clock timezone command (in global configuration mode). The system clock performs system hardware timing functions.

Note:  

The setting of the time-of-day clock is not preserved across system reloads unless the controller card has an RTC. On system reload, the time-of-day clock is initialized with the current setting of the RTC.

1.29.6   Examples

The following example sets the clock to 12:01 p.m. on Jun 28, 2005:

[local]Redback#clock set 2005:06:28:12:01

1.30   clock-source (ATM card)

1.30.1   Purpose

Specifies the source for the transmit clock on an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) DS-3, second- or third-generation OC traffic card.

Note:  

The SmartEdge 800s chassis does not support the ATM DS-3 traffic card.

1.30.2   Command Mode

• card configuration

1.30.3   Syntax Description

1.30.4   Default

The source for the transmit clock is the local clock located on the traffic card, except on the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards in which its default is global-reference.

1.30.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clock-source (ATM card) command to specify the source for the transmit clock on an ATM DS-3, second- or third-generation ATM OC traffic card. You can specify (during port configuration) whether the port uses this source or another clock source.

Note:  

The SmartEdge 100 router does not support this command.

Note:  

Changes to the clock source setting will not cause LOF on the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards.

Table 7 shows the possible clock source configurations for the card and its ports and the impact during switchover.

(1)  This is the default card clock source on the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards.

(2)  This switchover impact does not apply to the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards.

(3)  This is the default card clock source on previous ATM cards, except for the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards.

Use the default form of this command to set the clock source to the default.

1.30.6   Examples

The following example shows how to specify the internal clock on the 4-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c traffic card in slot 4 as the clock source:

[local]Redback(config)#card atm-oc3-4-port 4

[local]Redback(config-card)#clock-source local

This configuration prevents packet loss should the active controller card be removed from the chassis.

1.31   clock-source (E/T-carrier)

1.31.1   Purpose

Specifies the source for the transmit clock for a clear-channel DS-3 channel or port, clear-channel E3 port, DS-1 channel, or for an E1 channel or port.

1.31.2   Command Mode

• DS-1 configuration
• DS-3 configuration
• E1 configuration
• E3 configuration

1.31.3   Syntax Description

1.31.4   Default

The source for the transmit clock is the source of the system clock on the active controller card.

1.31.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clock-source (E/T-carrier) command to specify the source for the transmit clock for a clear-channel DS-3 channel or port, clear-channel E3 port, DS-1 channel, or E1 channel or port.

Use the global-reference keyword to specify the system clock on the active controller card. Use the loop keyword to select the receive clock from the incoming signal on the channel as the source.

You can specify a different clock source for each clear-channel DS-3 channel and each DS-1 channel on a channelized OC-12 port.

You can specify a different clock source for each clear-channel E1 channel on a channelized STM-1 port.

You can specify a different clock source for each E3 port on a clear-channel E3 traffic card.

Use the show port detail command (in any mode) to display the status of the clock source.

Note:  

The clock source for the channelized OC-12 port is always derived from the system clock on the active controller card, the source you specify by entering the system clock-source command (in global configuration mode).

Note:  

If you specify a range of DS-0 time slots other than the default range (1–24) with the timeslot command (in DS-1 configuration mode), you cannot specify the loop keyword as the clock source for a DS-1 channel. If you attempt to specify the loop keyword with fewer time slots than the full range defined, an error message displays.

Use the default form of this command to set the clock source to the default.

1.31.6   Examples

The following example shows how to select the derived receive clock for the DS-3 port as the source for the transmit clock:

[local]Redback(config)#port ds3 3/1

[local]Redback(config-ds3)#clock-source loop

1.32   clock-source (port)

1.32.1   Purpose

Specifies the transmit clock source for the current Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) DS-3, second- or third-generation ATM OC, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE), or OC-192c/STM-64c port.

1.32.2   Command Mode

• ATM DS-3 configuration
• ATM OC configuration
• port configuration

1.32.3   Syntax Description

1.32.4   Default

For ATM DS-3 and ATM OC ports, the transmit clock source is the clock source specified for the SmartEdge 400 or SmartEdge 800 traffic card. For 10GE and OC-192c/STM-64c ports and ATM OC MIC ports, the transmit clock source is the onboard clock.

1.32.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clock-source (port) command to specify the transmit clock source for this ATM DS-3, second- or third-generation ATM OC, or 10GE, or OC-192c/STM-64c port.

Use the card-reference keyword to specify the clock source that has been specified for the SmartEdge 400 or SmartEdge 800 ATM traffic card with the clock-source command (in card configuration mode).

Use the local keyword to specify the onboard clock on a 10GE or OC-192c/STM-64c traffic card or ATM OC MIC as the clock source.

Use the loop keyword to specify the receive clock from the incoming signal on the port as the transmit clock source.

Note:  

Changes to the clock source setting will not cause LOF on the 8-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c (atm-oc3e-8-port ) and 2-port ATM OC-12c/STM-4c cards.

The clock source choice for ATM DS-3 and second- or third-generation ATM OC traffic cards allows its ports to function without packet loss during a switchover to the standby controller card when the active controller card is removed from the SmartEdge chassis. If the clock source for the traffic card is the system clock on the active controller card, packets can be lost during the brief interval of the switchover. For this reason, we highly recommend that you specify the local clock on the ATM DS-3, second- or third-generation ATM OC traffic card as the clock source for its ports.

Table 8 shows the possible clock source configurations for the ATM DS-3, second- or third-generation ATM OC traffic card and its ports and the impact during switchover.

Use the default form of this command to set the clock source to the default.

1.32.6   Examples

The following example shows how to specify the derived receive clock for the ATM DS-3 port as the transmit clock source. In this configuration, packet loss can occur should the active controller card be removed from the chassis:

[local]Redback(config)#card atm-oc3-4-port 3

[local]Redback(config-card)#clock-source global reference

[local]Redback(config)#port atm 3/1

[local]Redback(config-atm-ds3)#clock-source loop

The following example shows how to specify the local clock as the source for the transmit clock for a 4-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c traffic card and its port 1. This configuration prevents packet loss should the active controller card be removed from the chassis:

[local]Redback(config)#card atm-oc3-4-port 4

[local]Redback(config-card)#clock-source local

[local]Redback(config)#port atm 4/1

[local]Redback(config-atm-oc)#clock-source card-reference

1.33   clpbit

1.33.1   Purpose

Sets the cell loss priority (CLP) bit in all cells transmitted over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and that reference this ATM profile.

1.33.2   Command Mode

ATM profile configuration

1.33.3   Syntax Description

1.33.4   Default

The CLP bit is set to zero.

1.33.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clpbit command to set the CLP bit in all cells transmitted over ATM PVCs that reference this ATM profile. If you do not specify the optional propagate qos to atm construct, the CLP bit is set to one; if you do specify this, the CLP bit is set based on the IP precedence and DSCP bits.

Note:  

For more information about the use of this command for QoS propagation, see Configuring Circuits for QoS.

Use the no or default form of this command to set the CLP bit to zero in all circuits referencing that ATM profile.

1.33.6   Examples

The following example shows how to set the CLP bit to one in an ATM profile, low_rate. All cells transmitted over PVCs that reference this profile have the CLP bit set to one:

[local]Redback(config)#atm profile low_rate

[local]Redback(config-atmpro)clpbit

1.34   clpbit propagate qos from atm

1.34.1   Purpose

Propagates the cell loss priority (CLP) bit to packet descriptor (PD) values in cells transmitted over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) that reference the ATM profile for incoming packets.

1.34.2   Command Mode

ATM profile configuration

1.34.3   Syntax Description

1.34.4   Default

CLP bit values are not propagated to PD values.

1.34.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clpbit propagate qos from atm command to propagate the CLP bit to PD values in cells transmitted over ATM PVCs that reference the ATM profile for incoming packets.

Note:  

CLP bit priority settings cannot be directly propagated to IP header DSCP bits.

Note:  

For more information about the CLP bit and its use in ATM profiles, see Configuring Circuits.

If you use the optional class-map map-name construct to specify a custom mapping schema for packets transmitted on ATM PVCs that reference the ATM profile, the operating system sets the initial QoS PD value according to the CLP values in the packet’s received ATM cell headers. If a packet is composed of multiple ATM cells, the SmartEdge router assigns a CLP value of 1 if any ATM cell that makes up the adaptation layer type 5 (AAL5) packet has the CLP bit set to 1 (for second-generation ATM traffic cards), or if the final cell, which contains the AAL5 trailer, has the CLP bit set to 1 (for first-generation ATM traffic cards).

If no classification map is specified, the SmartEdge router uses the default mapping described in Table 9.

Use the no form of this command to disable propagation from the ATM CLP bit to internal QoS classification values.

1.35   clpbit propagate qos to atm

1.35.1   Purpose

Propagates the quality of service (QoS) classification values from the internal packet descriptor (PD) to the cell loss priority (CLP) bit in cells transmitted over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) that reference the ATM profile for outgoing packets.

1.35.2   Command Mode

ATM profile configuration

1.35.3   Syntax Description

1.35.4   Default

QoS PD values are not propagated to the ATM CLP bit.

1.35.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the clpbit propagate qos to atm command to propagate the QoS classification values from the internal PD to the CLP bit in cells transmitted over ATM PVCs that reference the ATM profile for outgoing packets.

Note:  

For more information about the CLP bit and its use in ATM profiles, see Configuring Circuits.

QoS PD values are mapped to the ATM CLP bit as described in Table 10.

If you specify a custom mapping schema for the optional class-map map-name construct, packets received on ATM PVCs that reference the ATM profile have the CLP values of the cells in the AAL5 packet set according to internal QoS classification values. If you do not specify a classification map, the SmartEdge router uses the default mapping described in Table 10.

Use the no or default form of this command to restore the default behavior.

1.35.6   Examples

The following example propagates DSCP bits from IP packets to the CLP bit in cells transmitted over ATM PVCs that reference the ATM profile, low_rate:

[local]Redback(config)#atm profile low_rate

[local]Redback(config-atm-profile)#clpbit propagate qos to atm

1.36   cluster-id

1.36.1   Purpose

Assigns a cluster ID if the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) cluster has more than one route reflector.

1.36.2   Command Mode

BGP router configuration

1.36.3   Syntax Description

1.36.4   Default

The router ID is used as the cluster ID.

1.36.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the cluster-id command to assign a cluster ID if the BGP cluster has more than one route reflector. If this command is not enabled, the router ID is used as the cluster ID.

Together, a route reflector and its clients form a cluster. If there is more than one route reflector in a cluster, all route reflectors in that cluster should be configured with the same ID. A common cluster ID allows a route reflector to recognize updates from other route reflectors in the same cluster, prevents the possibility of a routing loop, and prevents the sending of duplicate updates.

Note:  

Do not configure a cluster ID if the device is not a route reflector.

Use the no form of this command to remove a cluster ID.

1.36.6   Examples

The following example configures a cluster ID of 100.25.34.5:

[local]Redback(config)#context local

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#router bgp 100

[local]Redback(config-bgp)#cluster-id 100.25.34.5

1.37   collection

1.37.1   Purpose

Enables the collection of bulk statistics (bulkstats) for all the entities to which this bulkstats policy has been applied.

1.37.2   Command Mode

bulkstats configuration

1.37.3   Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

1.37.4   Default

Bulk statistics are not collected for any policy.

1.37.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the collection command to enable the collection of bulkstats for all the entities to which this bulkstats policy has been applied.

Before you enable bulkstats collection for a bulkstats policy, you must perform the following tasks for it:

• Specify the primary bulkstats file server using the receiver command in bulkstats configuration mode.
• Specify the directory on the local SmartEdge router where collected data is stored using the localdir command in bulkstats configuration mode.
• Specify the name and location of the collection files on the bulkstats file server using the remotefile command in bulkstats configuration mode.

You must also perform these tasks:

• Create one or more schema profiles using the bulkstats schema profile command in global configuration mode.
• Apply one or more schema profiles using the schema command (in bulkstats configuration mode) for system-wide statistics or the bulkstats schema command (in ATM profile, dot1q profile, Frame Relay profile, or DS-0 group, DS-1, DS-3, E1, or port configuration mode) for applying an existing schema profile and bulk statistics policy.

You can enable collection for a bulkstats policy at any time after you have performed these tasks. It is not necessary to disable collection before you apply the policy to an entity, such as a port, channel, or circuit.

Use the no form of this command to disable collection for this bulkstats policy.

1.37.6   Examples

The following command enables the collection of bulk statistics:

[local]Redback(config)#context local

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#bulkstats policy bulk

[local]Redback(config-bulkstats)#collection

1.38   comment

1.38.1   Purpose

Assigns a comment to the current configuration database transaction.

1.38.2   Command Mode

All configuration modes

1.38.3   Syntax Description

1.38.4   Default

None

1.38.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the comment command to assign a textual description to the current configuration database transaction. This string displays in the output of the show transaction command (in any mode).

You can modify the comment at any point during a configuration session.

Note:  

When you enter the comment command, any existing comment is overwritten.

1.38.6   Examples

The following example assigns a comment for the current configuration database transaction:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#comment Config context local

1.39   commit

1.39.1   Purpose

Commits an outstanding configuration database transaction.

1.39.2   Command Mode

All configuration modes

1.39.3   Syntax Description

1.39.4   Default

In any configuration mode, commits the current configuration database transaction.

1.39.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the commit command to commit an outstanding configuration database transaction. You can use the at or in keywords to schedule the transaction to be committed at a later time. You can also associate a comment with the transaction.

Commands entered in any configuration mode do not immediately change the working configuration of the SmartEdge router. Outstanding configuration commands are maintained in a transaction. To commit the transaction so that the commands take effect, you must enter the commit command.

When any database transaction is committed, a new database transaction is started for the configuration session, and subsequent commands entered in the session are part of the new transaction.

Note:  

The configuration database is locked whenever the system is not ready to incorporate your configuration commands with the commit command. During a database locked situation, you can enter global configuration mode, and can test out modifications, but you cannot commit these changes. If you attempt to commit a configuration change when the database is locked, you are notified with a prompt to either wait for the lock to be freed, or to return to the configuration mode prompt:

• Waiting causes the system to wait until the lock is freed or up to 20 seconds before prompting you again.
• Returning to the configuration mode prompt leaves your configuration changes as they are, so that you can make more configuration changes or commit your changes at a later time.

1.39.6   Examples

The following example examines commits the current database transaction in 60 minutes, with the comment Cfg BGP in local ctx:

[local]Redback(config)#commit in 60 Cfg BGP in local ctx

The following example displays information on the transaction:

[local]Redback>show transaction

 TID       State                Sequence       State Information
           User                 Comment

------------------------------------------------------------------
 3491      Waiting to Commit    3634           Committing in 60 min

           admin1               Cfg BGP in local ctx

1.40   community-list

1.40.1   Purpose

Creates a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community list and enters community list configuration mode.

1.40.2   Command Mode

Context configuration

1.40.3   Syntax Description

1.40.4   Default

There are no preconfigured community lists.

1.40.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the community-list command to create a BGP community list and enter community list configuration mode where you can define conditions using the permit and deny commands.

A community is an attribute shared among a group of prefixes; for example, 10.1.1.0/24, 20.1.1.0/24, and 30.1.1.0/24. A single prefix can be associated with multiple comminutes. You can specify multiple communities in a single community list entry using a regular expression. Like access control lists, community lists can have multiple entries that are examined in order of ascending sequence number.

To set the communities attribute and match clauses based on communities, use the set community and match community-list commands in route map configuration mode.

Note:  

A reference to a community list that does not exist, or does not contain any configured entries, implicitly matches and permits all community lists.

Use the no form of this command to remove a community list.

1.40.6   Examples

The following example configures the community list, permit_local, and enters community list configuration mode:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#community-list permit_local

[local]Redback(config-community-list)#

1.41   condition

1.41.1   Purpose

Creates an access control list (ACL) condition and enters ACL condition configuration mode.

1.41.2   Command Mode

• Access control list configuration

1.41.3   Syntax Description

1.41.4   Default

None

1.41.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the condition command to create an ACL condition, and to enter ACL condition configuration mode.

An ACL condition is comprised of up to seven ACL condition statements (using any combination of the absolute and periodic commands in ACL condition configuration mode). When an ACL statement references an ACL condition, the ACL condition statements apply those time-dependent rules to the referencing IP ACL or policy ACL statement.

Use the no form of this command to delete an ACL condition.

1.41.6   Examples

The following example creates the time range condition identified as 342 for the IP ACL, protect, and enters ACL condition configuration mode:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#ip access-list protect

[local]Redback(config-access-list)#condition 342 time-range

[local]Redback(config-acl-condition)#

The following example creates the time range condition identified as 10.1.2.3 for the policy ACL, control, and enters ACL condition configuration mode:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#policy access-list control

[local]Redback(config-access-list)#condition 10.1.2.3 time-range

[local]Redback(config-acl-condition)#

1.42   confederation identifier

1.42.1   Purpose

Configures a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) confederation identifier.

1.42.2   Command Mode

BGP router configuration

1.42.3   Syntax Description

1.42.4   Default

No confederation identifier is configured.

1.42.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the confederation identifier command to configure a BGP confederation identifier. Use this command in conjunction with the confederation peers command in BGP router configuration mode to reduce internal BGP (iBGP) mesh by dividing an autonomous system into subautonomous systems and grouping them into a single confederation.

In the confederation, the subautonomous systems have external BGP (eBGP) connections to each other, but they exchange information as though they were iBGP peers. This means that they preserve next-hop, Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED), and local preference information. Externally, the confederation appears as a single autonomous system, and the confederation identifier is viewed as the ASN.

Use the no form of this command to remove a confederation identifier.

1.42.6   Examples

In the following example, the confederation consists of subautonomous systems, 65501, 65502, 65503, and 65504. Externally, there appears to be a single autonomous system with ASN 100:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#router bgp 65501

[local]Redback(config-bgp)#confederation identifier 100

[local]Redback(config-bgp)#confederation peers 65502 65503 65504

1.43   confederation peers

1.43.1   Purpose

Configures the subautonomous systems that belong to a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) confederation.

1.43.2   Command Mode

BGP router configuration

1.43.3   Syntax Description

1.43.4   Default

No subautonomous systems are configured.

1.43.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the confederation peers command to configure the subautonomous systems that belong to a BGP confederation. Use this command in conjunction with the confederation identifier command in BGP router configuration mode to reduce internal BGP (iBGP) mesh. Subautonomous systems are visible within the confederation, but externally.

In the confederation, the subautonomous systems have external BGP (eBGP) connections to each other, but they exchange information as though they were IBGP peers. This means that they preserve next-hop, Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED), and local preference information. Externally, the confederation appears as a single autonomous system, and the confederation identifier is viewed as the ASN.

Use the no form of this command to remove an autonomous system from a BGP confederation.

1.43.6   Examples

The following example specifies that autonomous systems, 65501, 65502, 65503, and 65504 belong to a single confederation that is known externally as ASN 100:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#router bgp 65501

[local]Redback(config-bgp)#confederation identifier 100

[local]Redback(config-bgp)#confederation peers 65502 65503 65504

1.44   configure (URL)

1.44.1   Purpose

Configures the system from a preexisting configuration file on the local or a remote file system.

1.44.2   Command Mode

exec (10)

1.44.3   Syntax Description

1.44.4   Default

None

1.44.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the configure url command to configure the system from a configuration file on the local or a remote file system. Configuration commands are read from the file associated with the URL that you specify with the url argument. The system does not restart when loading a configuration file.

When referring to a file on the local file system, the URL takes the following form:

[/device][/directory]/filename.ext

The device argument can be flash, or if a mass-storage device is installed, md. If the device argument is not specified, the default value is the device in the current working directory. If the directory argument is not specified, the default value is the current directory. Directories can be nested. The filename argument can be up to 256 characters in length.

You can also access files using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Remote Copy Protocol (RCP), Secured Copy Protocol (SCP), Secured FTP (SFTP), or Trivial FTP (TFTP).

Table 11 describes the syntax for the url argument when accessing a file on a remote server.

Note:  

Use the // if the pathname to the directory on the remote server is an absolute pathname; use a single / if it is a relative pathname (under the hierarchy of username account home directory).

The filename argument can be up to 256 characters in length. The hostname argument can only be used if Domain Name System (DNS) is enabled with the ip domain-lookup, ip domain-name, and ip name-servers commands (in context configuration mode). For more information, see Configuring DNS.

Note:  

If you enter this command without specifying a URL, the system begins an interactive configuration session and enters global configuration mode. For information about using the configure command for this purpose, see Load Balancing.

By default, if an error is encountered, the system displays a message and stops processing the configuration file. Use the besteffort keyword to configure the system to continue processing a file, even if an error is encountered; in this case, all commands in the configuration file that do not fail are applied to the database.

Use the implicit keyword to commit the configuration changes to the database as the file is processed unless the database or a database record is locked.

If the system stops a commit because of a database lock, the system displays the following message:

Database lock contention detected

   globally locked for:

and then displays the reason for the database lock with the following prompt:

Would you like to wait (w) or abort (a)?

If the system stops a commit because of a record lock, the system displays the following message:

Database lock contention detected

   locked by process nn with transaction id nnnn

   locking transaction was started on transaction-date-time

Would you like to wait (w) or abort (a)?

Enter w to wait until the database is unlocked; enter a to cancel the current transaction and roll back the database to the previous commit.

Possible reasons for a database lock include:

• Standby synchronization—The online database in the memory of the standby controller card is being synchronized with the online database in the memory of the active controller card.
• Binary configuration—The binary configuration file on the local file system is being updated from the online database.
• Switchover—The system is in the process of switching over from the currently active controller card to the standby controller card.
• Backend bulk download—The online database is being accessed by another process on the system.

1.44.6   Examples

The following example configures the system from a configuration file on the local file system:

[local]Redback#configure /flash/old_config.cfg

1.45   configure

1.45.1   Purpose

Enters global configuration mode.

1.45.2   Command Mode

exec (10)

1.45.3   Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

1.45.4   Default

None

1.45.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the configure command to enter global configuration mode. This mode provides commands that allow you to make changes that are universal to the system, such as configuring the system clock or creating login banners. It also provides commands that allow you to enter other configuration modes.

To show information on the changes you are implementing, use the show configuration command.

Note:  

To load a configuration file, enter the configure url command (in exec mode).

1.45.6   Examples

The following example enters global configuration mode:

[local]Redback#configure



Enter configuration commands, one per line, 'end' to exit

[local]Redback(config)#

1.46   conform mark dscp

1.46.1   Purpose

Assigns a quality of service (QoS) Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) priority to IP packets that conform to the configured QoS rate. For IPv4 packets, the DSCP marking is the upper six bits of the IPv4 header Type of Service (ToS) field. For IPv6 packets, the DSCP marking is the upper six bits of the IPv6 header Traffic Class field.

1.46.2   Command Mode

• policy class rate configuration
• policy rate configuration

1.46.3   Syntax Description

1.46.4   Default

No action is taken on packets that conform to the configured rate.

1.46.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the conform mark dscp command to mark inbound packets that conform to the configured rate with a DSCP value.

You can configure the rate using the rate command (in policy ACL class, metering policy, or policing policy configuration mode). Only one mark instruction can be in effect at a time. To change the mark instruction, enter the conform mark dscp command, specifying a new value for the dscp-class argument, which supersedes the one previously configured.

Table 12 lists the keywords for the dscp-class argument.

For more information about DSCP values, see RFC 2474, Definition of the Differentiated Services Field (DS Field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 Headers.

Use the no or default form of this command to return to the default behavior of not taking any action on packets that conform to the configured rate.

1.46.6   Examples

The following example configures the policing policy, protection1, to mark all packets that conform to the configured rate with a DSCP value representing a high priority of expedited forwarding (ef) and, by default using the conform mark command, to drop all packets that exceed the rate configured for the policing policy:

[local]Redback(config)#qos policy protection1 policing

[local]Redback(config-policy-policing)#rate 10000 burst 100000

[local]Redback(config-policy-rate)#conform mark dscp ef

1.47   conform mark precedence

1.47.1   Purpose

Assigns a quality of service (QoS) Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) drop-precedence value to IP packets that conform to the configured QoS drop precedence value. For IPv4 packets, the DSCP marking is applied to the IPv4 header Type of Service (ToS) field. For IPv6 packets, the DSCP marking is applied to the IPv6 header Traffic Class field. In either case, the specific bits affected are those denoted by dd in the octet field with the format pppddxxx.

1.47.2   Command Mode

• policy class rate configuration
• policy rate configuration

1.47.3   Syntax Description

1.47.4   Default

No action is taken on packets that conform to the configured rate.

1.47.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the conform mark precedence command to mark inbound packets that conform to the configured rate with a drop precedence value corresponding to the AF class of the packet.

You can configure rate using the rate command (in policy ACL class, metering policy, or policing policy configuration mode).

In general, the level of forwarding assurance of an IP packet is based on: (1) the resources allocated to the AF class to which the packet belongs, (2) the current load of the AF class, and, in case of congestion within the class, (3) the drop precedence of the packet. In case of congestion, the drop precedence of a packet determines the relative importance of the packet within the AF Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) class. Packets with a lower drop precedence value are preferred and protected from being lost, while packets with a higher drop precedence value are discarded.

With AF classes AF1 (AF11, AF12, AF13), AF2 (AF21, AF22, AF23), AF3 (AF31, AF32, AF33), and AF4 (AF41, AF42, AF43), the second integer represents a drop precedence value. Table 13 shows how the AF drop precedence value of an incoming packet is changed when it exits the SmartEdge router after being tagged with a new drop precedence. (See also RFC 2597, Assured Forwarding PHB Group.)

Only one mark instruction can be in effect at a time. To change the mark instruction, enter the conform mark precedence command, specifying a new value for the prec-value argument, which supersedes the one previously configured.

Use the no or default form of this command to return to the default behavior of not taking any action on packets that conform to the configured rate.

1.47.6   Examples

The following example configures the policing policy, protection1, to mark all packets that conform to the configured rate with a drop precedence value of 1 and drops all packets that exceed the rate:

[local]Redback(config)#qos policy protection1 policing

[local]Redback(config-policy-policing)#rate 10000 burst 100000

[local]Redback(config-policy-rate)#conform mark precedence 1

1.48   conform mark priority

1.48.1   Purpose

Marks packets that conform to the configured quality of service (QoS) rate with a priority group number, a drop-precedence value, or both, while leaving the packet’s IP header Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value unmodified.

1.48.2   Command Mode

• policy class rate configuration
• policy rate configuration

1.48.3   Syntax Description

1.48.4   Default

No action is taken on packets that conform to the configured rate. Default mapping of priority groups to queues is listed in Table 14.

1.48.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the conform mark priority command to mark packets that conform to the configured QoS rate with a priority group number, a drop-precedence value, or both, while leaving the packet’s IP header DSCP value unmodified.

To configure the rate, enter the rate command (in policy ACL class, metering policy, or policing policy configuration mode).

A priority group is an internal value used by the SmartEdge router to determine into which egress queue the inbound packet is placed. The type of service (ToS) value, DSCP value, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) experimental (EXP) bits are unchanged by this command. The actual queue number depends on the number of queues configured on the circuit. For more information, see the num-queues command in the Command List.

The SmartEdge router uses the factory preset, or default, mapping of a priority group to queue, according to the number of queues configured on a circuit; see Table 14.

Only one mark instruction can be in effect at a time. To change the mark instruction, enter the conform mark priority command, specifying a new value for the group-num argument. This supersedes the value previously configured.

Use the no or default form of this command to specify the default behavior.

1.48.6   Examples

The following example configures the policy to mark all packets that conform to the configured rate with priority group number 3 and drops all packets that exceed the rate:

[local]Redback(config)#qos policy protection1 policing

[local]Redback(config-policy-policing)#rate 10000 burst 100000

[local]Redback(config-policy-rate)#conform mark priority 3

1.49   conform no-action

1.49.1   Purpose

Specifies that no marking is made on packets that conform to the configured quality of service (QoS) rate.

1.49.2   Command Mode

• policy class rate configuration
• policy rate configuration

1.49.3   Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

1.49.4   Default

No marking is taken on packets that conform to the configured rate.

1.49.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the conform no-action command to specify that no marking is made on packets that conform to the configured QoS rate.

To configure the rate, enter the rate command (in policy ACL class, metering policy, or policing policy configuration mode).

Use the no or default form of this command to specify that no marking is made.

1.49.6   Examples

The following example configures the policy to mark all packets that conform to the configured rate with no action:

[local]Redback(config)#qos policy protection1 policing
[local]Redback(config-policy-policing)#rate 10000 burst 100000
[local]Redback(config-policy-rate)#conform no-action

1.50   congestion

1.50.1   Purpose

Specifies the congestion avoidance algorithm, either weighted random early detection (RED) or early packet discard (EPD), and its parameters for the specified Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) profile.

1.50.2   Command Mode

• ATM profile configuration

1.50.3   Syntax Description

1.50.4   Default

The default congestion avoidance algorithm is weighted RED with the default parameters.

1.50.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the congestion command to set the weighted RED or EPD parameters for the specified ATM profile. These parameters specify how buffer utilization is to be managed under congestion by signaling to the sources of traffic that the network is on the verge of entering a congested state.

This signaling is accomplished by dropping packets according to the type of congestion algorithm and the type of port on which the ATM VP or PVC is configured:

• For the weighted RED algorithm, which is supported for second-generation ATM OC and ATM DS-3 traffic cards only, packets are dropped with a probability that varies as a function of how many packets are waiting in a queue at any particular time, and of the values of the max, min, prob, and weight-exp arguments.

• For the EPD algorithm, packets are dropped based on the type of port:

  • For ports on first-generation ATM OC traffic cards, when the congestion exceeds the value of the max argument, packets are dropped until the buffers are below the value of the min argument.
  • For ports on second-generation ATM OC and ATM DS-3 traffic cards, when the congestion exceeds the value of the max argument, packets are dropped until the buffers are below the value of the max argument.

Use the min-threshold min construct as follows:

• For the weighted RED algorithm, use this construct to set the average buffer or queue occupancy in packets at or below which no packets are dropped.
• For the EPD algorithm, use this construct to specify the minimum value below which no packets are dropped. This construct is ignored if the profile is assigned to a shaped VP or PVC on an ATM DS-3 or second-generation ATM OC traffic card.

Use the max-threshold max construct as follows:

• For the weighted RED algorithm, use this construct to set the average buffer or queue occupancy in packets above which packets are dropped; as the average occupancy approaches the maximum threshold value, packets are dropped with increasing probability, as a function of the value of the prob argument.
• For the EPD algorithm, use this construct to set the value above which all packets are dropped.

Use the probability prob construct to establish the probability of a packet being dropped as the average queue occupancy approaches the maximum threshold value. The value of the prob argument is the inverse of the probability of a packet being dropped. The higher the value of the prob argument, the lower the probability of a packet being dropped.

The average queue occupancy is computed as a moving average of the instantaneous queue occupancy. Use the weight weight-exp construct to set the inverse of the exponential moving average. The larger the value of the weight-exp argument, the longer term the average.

If you reference an ATM profile that includes weighted RED parameters when creating ATM PVCs on ports on first-generation ATM OC traffic cards, the RED parameters are ignored; in this case, these ports use the EPD congestion algorithm with the default parameters.

If this command is not entered, any PVC that is created on a port on a second-generation ATM OC or ATM DS-3 traffic card and that references this profile uses weighted RED for the congestion avoidance algorithm with the default values for the parameters.

Note:  

For more configuration guidelines for ATM profiles, VPs, and PVCs with regard to congestion avoidance, see the Configuring ATM Ports section of Configuring ATM, Ethernet, and POS Ports.

Use the no and default forms of this command to perform the functions listed in Table 15.

1.50.6   Examples

The following example shows how to specify the RED parameters for an existing profile, atm-pro:

[local]Redback(config)#atm profile atm-pro

[local]Redback(config-atm-profile)#congestion red min-threshold 1 max-threshold 255 
probability 15 weight 10

1.51   congestion-map

1.51.1   Purpose

Assigns a congestion avoidance map to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) weighted fair queuing (ATMWFQ), a modified deficit round-robin (MDRR), or priority weighted fair queuing (PWFQ) policy.

1.51.2   Command Mode

• ATMWFQ policy configuration
• MDRR policy configuration
• PWFQ policy configuration

1.51.3   Syntax Description

1.51.4   Default

No congestion avoidance map is assigned to any ATMWFQ, MDRR, or PWFQ policy; without a congestion avoidance map assigned, an MDRR or PWFQ policy drops packets from the end of a queue only when the maximum queue depth is exceeded, the queue depth being that of the circuit to which the policy is attached. For an ATMWFQ policy, packets are dropped from the end of a queue according the congestion avoidance specified by the ATM profile assigned to the circuit.

1.51.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the congestion-map command to assign a congestion avoidance map to any ATMWFQ, MDRR, or PWFQ policy.

To create a congestion avoidance map, enter the qos congestion-avoidance-map command (in global configuration mode).

Use the no form of this command to delete the congestion avoidance map from the policy.

1.51.6   Examples

The following example assigns the congestion avoidance map, map-red4p, to the PWFQ policy, pwfq4:

[local]Redback(config)#qos policy pwfq4 pwfq

[local]Redback(config-policy-pwfq)#congestion-map map-red4p

[local]Redback(config-policy-pwfq)#

1.52   connected-route

1.52.1   Purpose

Installs a single route that is connected to a specifiable virtual IP address which is contained in the routing table of the current VRRP routing context.

1.52.2   Command Mode

VRRP configuration

1.52.3   Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

1.52.4   Default

The connected-route command is not enabled.

1.52.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the connected-route command to install a single route connected to a specifiable virtual IP address which is contained in the routing table of the current VRRP routing context.

Use the no form of this command to remove the virtual IP address connected routes.

1.52.6   Examples

The following example shows that the route connected to virtual IP address 10.1.1.100 has been installed by running the connected-route command:

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#interface one

[local]Redback(config-if)#ip address 10.1.1.1/24

[local]Redback(config-if)#vrrp 1 backup

[local]Redback(config-vrrp)#connected-route

[local]Redback(config-vrrp_#virtual-address 10.1.1.100

[local]Redback(config-vrrp)#exit

[local]Redback(config-if)#exit

1.53   connection-mode

1.53.1   Purpose

Configures the type of encryption, if any, that the SmartEdge router allows on the connection to the NetOp Element Management System (EMS) server.

1.53.2   Command Mode

• NetOp configuration

1.53.3   Syntax Description

1.53.4   Default

Allow both TLS and unencrypted connections.

1.53.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the connection mode command to configure the type of encryption, if any, that the SmartEdge router allows on the connection to the NetOp EMS server.

To allow both TLS and unencrypted communication, include both the tls and unencrypted keywords in the command or use the no form of this command.

The SmartEdge router negotiates the connection mode with the NetOp EMS server immediately after a raw connection is established between the two. In this negotiation, the NetOp EMS server acts as a client and the SmartEdge router acts as the server.

Use the no form of this command to return to the default condition.

1.53.6   Examples

The following example enables communication with the NetOp EMS server and allows either a TLS or unencrypted connection to it:

[local]Redback#config

[local]Redback(config)#netop

[local]Redback(config-netop)#connection-mode tls unencrypted

1.54   connections

1.54.1   Purpose

Specifies the maximum number of sessions allowed for the specified protocol for each circuit.

1.54.2   Command Mode

• NAT policy configuration

1.54.3   Syntax Description

1.54.4   Default

The maximum number of sessions is not specified.

1.54.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the connections command to specify the maximum number of sessions allowed for the specified protocol for each circuit.

The maximum number that you specify applies to all access control list (ACL) classes, including the default class, for which you have specified admission control using the admission-control command (in NAT policy configuration mode).

If the maximum number of sessions for a specific protocol is not specified using this command, the admission control for that protocol, if specified using the admission-control command (in NAT policy or policy group class configuration mode), is ignored.

Use the no form of this command to specify the default condition.

1.54.6   Examples

The following example specifies 100 as the maximum number of sessions for each TCP circuit:

[local]Redback(config-policy-nat)#connections tcp maximum 100

1.55   constraint

1.55.1   Purpose

Creates a constraint or specifies a constraint that is applied to the traffic engineering (TE) tunnel during Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF) calculation.

1.55.2   Command Mode

• RVSP LSP configuration
• RSVP constraint configuration

1.55.3   Syntax Description

1.55.4   Default

No constraint is created or applied.

1.55.5   Usage Guidelines

Use the constraint command to create a constraint or specify a constraint that is applied to the TE tunnel during CSPF calculation. Use the commands in RSVP constraint configuration mode to define the constraint. You can define the following constraints:

• Administrative group
• Exclude links
• Hop limit
• Minimum bandwidth
• Priority

Use the no form of this command to remove the constraint.

1.55.6   Examples

The following example shows how to create a constraint, RED_PATH, for CSPF calculation:

[local]Redback#configure

[local]Redback(config)#context local

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#router rsvp

[local]Redback(config-rsvp)#constraint RED_PATH

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-constr)#admin-group include red

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-constr)#exclude node 10.1.1.1

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-constr)#hop-limit 25

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-constr)#minimum-bandwidth 3 mps

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-constr)#priority 5 5

The following example shows how to apply the constraint RED_PATH to the TE label-switched path (LSP) during CSPF calculation:

[local]Redback#config

[local]Redback(config)#context local

[local]Redback(config-ctx)#router rsvp

[local]Redback(config-rsvp)#lsp lsp1

[local]Redback(config-rsvp-lsp)#constraint RED_PATH
