DLSw+ Configuration Commands


This chapter describes the commands to configure data-link switching plus (DLSw+), our implementation of the DLSw standard. For DLSw+ configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring Data-Link Switching Plus" chapter of the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide. For specific SDLC commands to configure DLSw+ for SDLC, refer to the "LLC2 and SDLC Commands" chapter in this publication.

dlsw allroute-netbios

Use the dlsw allroute-netbios global configuration command to change the single-route explorer to an all-route broadcast for NetBIOS. Use the no form of this command to return to the default single-route explorer.

dlsw allroute-netbios
no dlsw allroute-netbios

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

Single-route explorer.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

Example

The following example specifies all-route broadcasts:

dlsw allroute-netbios

dlsw allroute-sna

Use the dlsw allroute-sna global configuration command to change the single-route explorer to an all-route broadcast for SNA. Use the no form of this command to return to the default single-route explorer.

dlsw allroute-sna
no dlsw allroute-sna

Syntax Description

Example

The following example specifies all-route broadcasts:

dlsw allroute-sna

dlsw bgroup-list

Use the dlsw bgroup-list global configuration command to map traffic on the local Ethernet bridge group interface to remote peers. Use the no form of this command to cancel the map.

dlsw bgroup-list list-number bgroups number
no dlsw bgroup-list

Syntax Description

list-number

The ring list number. This number is subsequently used in the dlsw remote-peer command to define the segment to which the bridge-group belongs.

bgroups

The transparent bridge group to which DLSw+ will be attached. The valid range is 1 to 63.

number

The transparent bridge group list number. The valid range is 1 to 255.


Default

There is no default setting.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Traffic received from a remote peer is forwarded only to the bridge group specified in the bridge group list. Traffic received from a local interface is forwarded to peers if the input bridge group number appears in the bridge group list applied to the remote peer definition. The definition of a bridge group list is optional. Each remote peer has a single list number associated with it; therefore, if you want traffic to go to a bridge group and to either a ring list or port list, you should specify the same list number in each definition.

Example

The following example configures bgroup list 1:

dlsw bgroup-list 1 bgroups 33

Related Commands

dlsw bridge-group
dlsw port-list
dlsw ring-list

dlsw bridge-group

(Optional) Specifies that sessions are load-balanced across duplicate paths.


Default

Fault-tolerance is the default logic used to handle duplicate paths.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

A path is either a remote peer or a local port.

In full-tolerance mode, the preferred path is always used unless it is unavailable. The preferred path is either the path over which the first response to an explorer was received, or, in the case of remote peers, the peer with the least cost.

Example

The following example specifies load balancing to resolve duplicate paths:

dlsw duplicate-path-bias load-balance

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

Example

The following example sets the explorer packet processing queue to 256:

dlsw explorerq-depth 256

Related Command

show dlsw capabilities

dlsw icannotreach saps

Use the dlsw icannotreach saps global configuration command to configure a list of service access points (SAPs) not locally reachable by the router. Use the no form of this command to remove the list.

dlsw icannotreach saps sap [sap...]
no dlsw icannotreach saps sap [sap...]

Syntax Description

sap sap...

Array of SAPs.


Default

No lists are configured.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3

The dlsw icannot reach saps command causes the local router to send a control vector to its peers during the capabilities exchange, which tells the peers not to send canureach messages to the local router for sessions using those DSAPs. (They are DSAPs from the peer's perspective, and SSAPs from the perspective of the devices attached to the local router.) The effect is that devices attached to the peer will not be able to initiate sessions to devices attached to the local router using the listed DSAPs. Devices attached to the local router, however, will still be able to start sessions with devices on its peers using the listed saps as SSAPs. The reason is that the local router can still send canureach requests to its peers, since no filtering is actually done on the local router. The filtering done by the peers does not prohibit the peers from responding to canureach requests from the local router sending the control vector, only sending canureach requests to the local router.

Example

The following example specifies a list of SAPs that are not reachable:

dlsw icannotreach saps F0

Related Command

show dlsw capabilities

dlsw icanreach

Use the dlsw icanreach global configuration command to configure a resource that is locally reachable by this router. Use the no form of this command to remove the resource.

[
mask mask] | netbios-name name}
no dlsw icanreach {mac-exclusive | netbios-exclusive | mac-address mac-addr
[
mask mask] | netbios-name name}

Syntax Description

mac-exclusive

Router can reach only the MAC addresses that are user configured.

netbios-exclusive

Router can reach only the NetBIOS names that are user configured.

mac-address mac-addr

Configures a MAC address that this router can locally reach.

mask mask

(Optional) MAC address mask in hexadecimal h.h.h. The mask indicates which bits in the MAC address are relevant.

netbios-name name

Configures a NetBIOS name that this router can locally reach. Wildcards are allowed. The wildcard is either an asterisk (*) at the end or a question mark (?) in the middle of the name.


Default

No resources are configured.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

This command can be entered at any time. It causes a capabilities exchange to relay the information to all active peers. By specifying resource names or MAC addresses in this command, you can avoid broadcasts from remote peers that are looking for this resource. By specifying "exclusive" you can avoid broadcasts to this router or any resources. For example, you could configure the front-end processor (FEP) MAC address or corporate site LAN servers in central site routers to avoid any broadcasts over the WAN for these resources.

Example

The following example indicates that this peer only has information about a single NetBIOS server, and that no peers should send this peer explorers searching for other NetBIOS names:

dlsw icanreach netbios-exclusive
dlsw icanreach netbios-name lanserv

11407-11407 byte maximum frame size
11454-11454 byte maximum frame size
17800-17800 byte maximum frame size

keepalive seconds

(Optional) Default remote peer keepalive interval in seconds. The valid range is 0 to 1200 seconds.

passive

(Optional) Specifies that this router will not initiate remote peer connections to configured peers.

promiscuous

(Optional) Accepts connections from nonconfigured remote peers.

biu-segment

(Optional) Causes DLSw+ to spoof the maximum receivable I-frame size in XID so that each end station sends the largest frame it can.


Default

No parameters are defined.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

When there are multiple peers to a given destination, use the cost keyword to determine which router is preferred and which is capable. The cost keyword only applies in fault tolerance mode.

The biu-segment option is a performance/utilization improvement. If a frame that arrives from a remote peer is too large for the destination station to handle, DLSw+ segments the frame. If you choose to implement this option, you must add the option to both DLSw peer partners.

Example

The following command defines the local peer IP address and specifies the peer group number for this router:

dlsw local-peer peer-id 10.2.17.1 group 2

Default

No static MAC address is configured.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0.

You can statically define resources to prevent the Cisco IOS software from sending explorer frames for the specified resource. For example, you can include the MAC address of a FEP in the configuration for each remote router to eliminate any broadcasts that are searching for a FEP. Alternatively, you can specify a single dlsw icanreach statement in the router attached to the FEP indicating the MAC address of the FEP. This information is sent to all remote routers as part of the capabilities exchange.

Example

The following example maps the static MAC address 1000.5A12.3456 to the remote peer at IP address 10.17.3.2:

dlsw mac-addr 1000.5A12.3456 remote-peer ip-address 10.17.3.2

linger minutes

(Optional) Configures length of time the backup peer remains connected after the primary peer connection has been re-established. The valid range is 1 to 300 minutes. The default is 5 minutes.

lsap-output-list list

(Optional) Filters output IEEE 802.5 encapsulated packets. Valid access list numbers are in the range 200 to 299.

pass-thru

(Optional) Selects passthrough mode. (The default, if nothing is specified, is local acknowledgment mode.)


Default

No FST encapsulation connection is specified.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0. The folloiwng keywords and arguments first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2: dest-mac mac-address, dmac-output-list access-list-number , linger minutes .

The cost keyword specified in a remote peer statement takes precedence over the cost learned as part of the capabilities exchange with the remote peer. The cost keyword is relevant only in fault tolerance mode.

When you need to permit access to only a single MAC address, the dest-mac option is a shortcut over the dmac-output-list option.

Example

The following example specifies an FST encapsulation connection for remote peer transport:

dlsw remote-peer 1 fst 10.2.17.8

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.0. The folloiwng keywords and arguments first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.1: dynamic, inactivity minutes, linger minutes, no-llc minutes, timeout seconds. The folloiwng keywords and arguments first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2: dest-mac mac-address, dmac-output-list access-list-number , linger minutes .

SNA dial-on-demand routing (DDR) technology allows switched links to be closed during idle periods. To enable this feature, set the keepalive option to 0 and configure the timeout option.

To enhance DDR cost-savings, you can configure the TCP connection to a remote peer to be "dynamically" established, that is, established only when there is DLSw data to send. You can further configure the TCP connection to terminate either after a specified period of idle time on the peer or after a specified period of no active LLC sessions on the peer.

You cannot use both no-llc and inactivity in a command specifying a dynamic peer.

When you need to permit access to only a single MAC address, the dest-mac option is a shortcut over the dmac-output-list option.

Use the linger option to specify that a backup peer will remain connected for a specified period of time after the primary connection is gone.
