Implementing Cisco Express Forwarding

Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is advanced, Layer 3 IP switching technology. CEF optimizes network performance and scalability for networks with large and dynamic traffic patterns, such as the Internet, on networks characterized by intensive web-based applications, or interactive sessions.

This module describes the tasks required to implement CEF on your Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router.


Note

For complete descriptions of the CEF commands listed in this module, refer to the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router IP Addresses and Services Command Reference . To locate documentation for other commands that might appear in the course of executing a configuration task, search online in the master command index.

IPv6 Flow Label Field for Hashing feature was introduced.

Prerequisites for Implementing Cisco Express Forwarding

The following prerequisites are required to implement Cisco Express Forwarding:

  • You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Information About Implementing Cisco Express Forwarding Software

To implement Cisco Express Forwarding features in this document you must understand the following concepts:

Key Features Supported in the Cisco Express Forwarding Implementation

The following features are supported for CEF on Cisco IOS XR software:

  • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) policy accounting

  • Reverse path forwarding (RPF)

  • Virtual interface support

  • Multipath support

  • Route consistency

  • High availability features such as packaging, restartability, and Out of Resource (OOR) handling

  • OSPFv2 SPF prefix prioritization

  • BGP attributes download

Benefits of CEF

CEF offers the following benefits:

  • Improved performance—CEF is less CPU-intensive than fast-switching route caching. More CPU processing power can be dedicated to Layer 3 services such as quality of service (QoS) and encryption.

  • Scalability—CEF offers full switching capacity at each line card.

  • Resilience—CEF offers an unprecedented level of switching consistency and stability in large dynamic networks. In dynamic networks, fast-switched cache entries are frequently invalidated due to routing changes. These changes can cause traffic to be process switched using the routing table, rather than fast switched using the route cache. Because the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) lookup table contains all known routes that exist in the routing table, it eliminates route cache maintenance and the fast-switch or process-switch forwarding scenario. CEF can switch traffic more efficiently than typical demand caching schemes.

CEF Components

Cisco IOS XR softwareCEF always operates in CEF mode with two distinct components: a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) database and adjacency table—a protocol-independent adjacency information base (AIB).

CEF is a primary IP packet-forwarding database for Cisco IOS XR software. CEF is responsible for the following functions:

  • Software switching path

  • Maintaining forwarding table and adjacency tables (which are maintained by the AIB) for software and hardware forwarding engines

The following CEF forwarding tables are maintained in Cisco IOS XR software:

  • IPv4 CEF database

  • IPv6 CEF database

  • MPLS LFD database

  • Multicast Forwarding Table (MFD)

The protocol-dependent FIB process maintains the forwarding tables for IPv4 and IPv6 unicast in the Route Switch Processor (RSP ) and each MSC.

The FIB on each node processes Routing Information Base (RIB) updates, performing route resolution and maintaining FIB tables independently in the RSP and each MSC. FIB tables on each node can be slightly different. Adjacency FIB entries are maintained only on a local node, and adjacency entries linked to FIB entries could be different.

Border Gateway Protocol Policy Accounting

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) policy accounting measures and classifies IP traffic that is sent to, or received from, different peers. Policy accounting is enabled on an individual input or output interface basis, and counters based on parameters such as community list, autonomous system number, or autonomous system path are assigned to identify the IP traffic.


Note

There are two types of route policies. The first type (regular BGP route policies) is used to filter the BGP routes advertised into or out from the BGP links. This type of route policy is applied to the specific BGP neighbor. The second type (specific route policy) is used to set up a traffic index for the BGP prefixes. This route policy is applied to the global BGP IPv4 address family to set up the traffic index when the BGP routes are inserted into the RIB table. BGP policy accounting uses the second type of route policy.

Using BGP policy accounting, you can account for traffic according to the route it traverses. Service providers can identify and account for all traffic by customer and bill accordingly. In Figure 1, BGP policy accounting can be implemented in Router A to measure packet and byte volumes in autonomous system buckets. Customers are billed appropriately for traffic that is routed from a domestic, international, or satellite source.


Note

BGP policy accounting measures and classifies IP traffic for BGP prefixes only.
Figure 1. Sample Topology for BGP Policy Accounting

Based on the specified routing policy, BGP policy accounting assigns each prefix a traffic index (bucket) associated with an interface. BGP prefixes are downloaded from the RIB to the FIB along with the traffic index.

There are a total of 63 (1 to 63) traffic indexes (bucket numbers) that can be assigned for BGP prefixes. Internally, there is an accounting table associated with the traffic indexes to be created for each input (ingress) and output (egress) interface. The traffic indexes allow you to account for the IP traffic, where the source IP address, the destination IP address, or both are BGP prefixes.


Note

Traffic index 0 contains the packet count using Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routes.

Reverse Path Forwarding (Strict and Loose)

Unicast IPv4 and IPv6 Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF), both strict and loose modes, help mitigate problems caused by the introduction of malformed or spoofed IP source addresses into a network by discarding IP packets that lack a verifiable IP source address. Unicast RPF does this by doing a reverse lookup in the CEF table. Therefore, Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding is possible only if CEF is enabled on the router.

IPv6 uRPF is supported with ASR 9000-SIP-700 LC, ASR 9000 Ethernet LC and ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet LC.


Note

Unicast RPF allows packets with 0.0.0.0 source addresses and 255.255.255.255 destination addresses to pass so that Bootstrap Protocol and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) will function properly.

When strict uRPF is enabled, the source address of the packet is checked in the FIB. If the packet is received on the same interface that would be used to forward the traffic to the source of the packet, the packet passes the check and is further processed; otherwise, it is dropped. Strict uRPF should only be applied where there is natural or configured symmetry. Because internal interfaces are likely to have routing asymmetry, that is, multiple routes to the source of a packet, strict uRPF should not be implemented on interfaces that are internal to the network.


Note

The behavior of strict RPF varies slightly by platform, number of recursion levels, and number of paths in Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) scenarios. A platform may switch to loose RPF check for some or all prefixes, even though strict RPF is configured.

When loose uRPF is enabled, the source address of the packet is checked in the FIB. If it exists and matches a valid forwarding entry, the packet passes the check and is further processed; otherwise, it is dropped.

Strict mode uRPF requires maintenance of uRPF interfaces list for the prefixes. The list contains only strict mode uRPF configured interfaces pointed by the prefix path. uRPF interface list is shared among the prefixes wherever possible. Size of this list is 12 for ASR 9000 Ethernet Line Cards and 64 for integrated 20G SIP cards. Strict to loose mode uRPF fallback happens when the list goes beyond the maximum supported value.

Loose and strict uRPF supports two options: allow self-ping and allow default. The self-ping option allows the source of the packet to ping itself. The allow default option allows the lookup result to match a default routing entry. When the allow default option is enabled with the strict mode of the uRPF, the packet is processed further only if it arrived through the default interface.

Per-Flow Load Balancing

Load balancing describes the functionality in a router that distributes packets across multiple links based on Layer 3 (network layer) and Layer 4 (transport layer) routing information. If the router discovers multiple paths to a destination, the routing table is updated with multiple entries for that destination.

Per-flow load balancing performs these functions:

  • Incoming data traffic is evenly distributed over multiple equal-cost connections within a bundle interface.

  • Layer 2 bundle and Layer 3 (network layer) load balancing decisions are taken on IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS flows which are supported for the 5-tuple hash algorithm.

  • A 5-tuple hash algorithm provides more granular load balancing than the 3-tuple hash algorithm.

  • The same hash algorithm (3-tuple or 5-tuple) is used for load balancing over multiple equal-cost Layer 3 (network layer) paths. The Layer 3 (network layer) path is on a physical interface or on a bundle interface. In addition, load balancing over member links can occur within a Layer 2 bundle interface.

  • The cef load-balancing fields L3 global command allows you to select the 3-tuple hash algorithm.

  • By default, 5-tuple hash algorithm is used for load balancing. If you use the cef load-balancing fields L3 global command, 3-tuple hash algorithm is enabled.

Layer 3 (Network Layer) Routing Information

The 3-tuple load-balance hash calculation contains these Layer 3 (Network Layer) inputs:

  • Source IP address

  • Destination IP address

  • Router ID

Layer 4 (Transport Layer) Routing Information

The 5-tuple load-balance hash calculation contains 3-tuple inputs and these additional following Layer 4 (Transport Layer) inputs:

  • Source port

  • Destination port


Note

In load-balancing scenarios, a line card may not use all output paths downloaded from routing protocols. This behavior varies with platform, number of recursion levels, and the fact whether MPLS is involved, or not.

Limitations for 3-Tuple Load Balance Hash Algorithm

  • Load balancing is not symmetrical if the load balanced paths involve different speeds such as, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, or 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

  • Because the 3-tuple hash algorithm excludes Layer 4 information and becomes dependent on Layer 3 information, load balancing is not symmetrical if the distribution of source and destination IP addresses is not varied enough, even if all ports operate at the same speed.

  • You can configure 3-tuple hash algorithm only on Cisco ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Cards.

IPv6 Flow Label Field for Hashing

You can use the 20-bit Flow Label field in the IPv6 header as an additional input field for hash algorithms to improve load balancing decisions. Use the cef load-balancing fields ipv6 flow-label command to enable the flow label field for IPv6 packets on Cisco ASR 9000 High Density 100GE Ethernet Line Cards and Cisco ASR 9000 Enhanced Ethernet Line Cards. The hash algorithms can use the flow label field in addition to inputs such as source IP address, destination IP address, router ID, source port, and destination port. See RFC 6437 for details about the IPv6 Flow Label Specification.

BGP Attributes Download

The BGP Attributes Download feature enables you to display the installed BGP attributes in CEF. Configure the show cef bgp-attribute command to display the installed BGP attributes in CEF. You can use the show cef bgp-attribute attribute-id command and the show cef bgp-attribute local-attribute-id command to look at specific BGP attributes by attribute ID and local attribute ID.

Configuring BGP Policy Accounting

This task allows you to configure BGP policy accounting.


Note

There are two types of route policies. BGP policy accounting uses the type that is used to set up a traffic index for the BGP prefixes. The route policy is applied to the global BGP IPv4 address family to set up the traffic index when the BGP routes are inserted into the RIB table.

BGP policy accounting enables per interface accounting for ingress and egress IP traffic based on the traffic index assigned to the source IP address (BGP prefix) and destination IP address (BGP prefix). The traffic index of BGP prefixes can be assigned according to the following parameters using Routing Policy Language (RPL):

  • prefix-set

  • AS-path-set

  • community-set


Note

BGP policy accounting is supported on IPv4 prefixes only.

Two configuration tasks provide the ability to classify BGP prefixes that are in the RIB according to the prefix-set, AS-path-set, or the community-set parameters:

  1. Use the route-policy command to define the policy for traffic index setup based on the prefix-set, AS-path-set, or community-set.

  2. Use the BGP table-policy command to apply the defined route policy to the global BGP IPv4 unicast address family.

See the Routing Command Reference for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers for information on the route-policy and table-policy commands.

BGP policy accounting can be enabled on each interface with the following options:

  • Use the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command with one of the following keyword options:

    • input source-accounting

    • input destination-accounting

    • input source-accounting destination-accounting

  • Use the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command with one of the following keyword options:

    • output source-accounting

    • output destination-accounting

    • output source-accounting destination-accounting

  • Use any combination of the keywords provided for the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command.

Before you begin

Before using the BGP policy accounting feature, you must enable BGP on the router (CEF is enabled by default). See the Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers for information on enabling BGP.

IPv6 Routing over IPv4 MPLS TE Tunnels

IPv6 routing over IPv4 Multiprotocol Label Switching with Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) tunnels in the core is achieved by configuring the TE tunnels into the IPv6 Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) topology as IPv6 forwarding adjacencies.

Figure 2. IPv6 Routing over IPv4 MPLS TE

This figure shows two IPv4/IPv6-aware sites connected over a TE core, where TE is not IPv6-aware. Two tunnels are set up across the core, and are announced as forwarding adjacencies into the IPv6 topologies at Site 1 and Site 2. Routers at Site 1 and Site 2 can use these tunnels to compute the best IPv6 route to the other site within their IS-IS SPF.

Restrictions for Implementing IPv6 routing over IPv4 MPLS TE tunnels

The following restrictions apply to implementing IPv6 routing over IPv4 MPLS TE tunnels:

  • It is supported for IS-IS only.

  • IS-ISv4 and v6 must exist in a single topology.

  • IS-ISv4 and v6 must be configured under the same IS-IS instance at the endpoints.

Verifying BGP Policy Statistics: Example

The following example shows how to verify the traffic index setup for each BGP prefix and BGP Policy Accounting statistics on ingress and egress interfaces. The following traffic stream is configured for this example:

  • Traffic comes in from GigabitEthernet 0/2/0/4 and goes out to 5 VLAN subinterfaces under GigabitEthernet 0/2/0/2

  • Traffic comes in from GigabitEthernet 0/0/08 and goes out to GigabitEthernet 0/0/0/4
