Usage Guidelines
Using the address-family command puts you in address family configuration submode (prompt: (config-router-af)# ). Within this submode, you can configure address-family specific parameters for routing protocols, such as BGP, that can accommodate multiple Layer 3 address families.
To leave address family configuration submode and return to router configuration mode, type exit-address-family, or simply exit.
Examples
The address-family command in the following example puts the router into address family configuration submode for the VPNv4 address family. Within the submode, you can configure advertisement of NLRI for the VPNv4 address family using neighbor activate and other related commands:
The command in the following example puts the router into address family configuration submode for the IPv4 address family. Use this form of the command, which specifies a VRF, only to configure routing exchanges between PE and CE devices. This address-family command causes subsequent commands entered in the submode to be executed in the context of VRF vrf2. Within the submode, you can use neighbor activate and other related commands to accomplish the following:
•
Configure advertisement of IPv4 NLRI between the PE and CE routers.
•
Configure translation of the IPv4 NLRI (that is, translate IPv4 into VPNv4 for NLRI received from the CE, and translate VPNv4 into IPv4 for NLRI to be sent from the PE to the CE).
•
Enter the routing parameters that apply to this VRF.

Usage Guidelines
When you issue this command, entries in the adjacency table that resides on the route processor are removed and then repopulated. During repopulation, Layer 2 next hop information is reevaluated.
With Distributed CEF (dCEF) mode, the adjacency tables that reside on line cards are always synchronized to the adjacency table that resides on the route processor. Therefore, clearing the adjacency table on the route processor using the clear adjacency command also clears the adjacency tables on the line cards; all changes are propagated to the line cards.
Examples
The following example clears the adjacency table:

Usage Guidelines
This command removes dynamic LE ARP table entries only. It does not remove static LE ARP table entries.
If you do not specify an interface or an emulated LAN, this command clears all the LE ARP tables of any LANE client in the router.
If you specify a major interface (not a subinterface), this command clears all the LE ARP tables of every LANE client on all the subinterfaces of that interface.
This command also removes the fast-cache entries built from the LE ARP entries.
Examples
The following example clears all the LE ARP tables for all clients on the router:
The following example clears all the LE ARP tables for all LANE clients on all the subinterfaces of interface 1/0:
clear lane le-arp interface 1/0
The following example clears the entry corresponding to MAC address 0800.AA00.0101 from the LE ARP table for the LANE client on the emulated LAN red:

Usage Guidelines
After changing the bindings on the configuration server, use this command on the LANE server to force the client to leave one emulated LAN. The LANE server will drop the Control Direct and Control Distribute VCCs to the LANE client. The client will then ask the LANE configuration server for the location of the LANE server of the emulated LAN it should join.
If no LANE client is specified, all LANE clients attached to the LANE server are dropped.
Examples
The following example forces all the LANE clients on the emulated LAN red to be dropped. The next time they try to join, they will be forced to join a different emulated LAN.

Usage Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for deleting VLANs:
•
When you delete an Ethernet VLAN in Virtual Terminal Protocol (VTP) server mode, the VLAN is removed from all switches in the same VTP domain.
•
When you delete a VLAN in VTP transparent mode, the VLAN is deleted only on the current switch.
•
To delete a Token Ring Bridge Relay Function (TRBRF) VLAN, you must either first reassign its child Token Ring Concentrator Relay Functions (TRCRFs) to another parent TRBRF or delete the child TRCRFs.
Caution 
When you clear a VLAN, all ports assigned to that VLAN become inactive. However, the VLAN port assignments are retained until you move the ports to another VLAN. If the cleared VLAN is reactivated, all ports still configured on that VLAN are also reactivated. A warning is displayed if you clear a VLAN that exists in the mapping table.
Examples
The following example shows how to clear an existing VLAN (VLAN 4) from a management domain:
Router# clear vlan 4
This command will deactivate all ports on vlan 4
in the entire management domain
Do you want to continue(y/n) [n]? y

client-atm-address name
To add a LANE client address entry to the configuration server's configuration database, use the client-atm-address command in database configuration mode. To remove a client address entry from the table, use the no form of this command.
client-atm-address atm-address-template name elan-name
no client-atm-address atm-address-template
Syntax Description
atm-address-template
|
Template that explicitly specifies an ATM address or a specific part of an ATM address and uses wildcard characters for other parts of the ATM address, making it easy and convenient to specify multiple addresses matching the explicitly specified part.
Wildcard characters can replace any nibble or group of nibbles in the prefix, the end-system identifier (ESI), or the selector fields of the ATM address.

Name of the emulated LAN. Maximum length is 32 characters.
|
Defaults

|
Usage Guidelines
The effect of this command is to bind any client whose address matches the specified template into the specified emulated LAN. When a client comes up, it consults the LANE configuration server, which responds with the ATM address of the LANE server for the emulated LAN. The client then initiates join procedures with the LANE server.
Before this command is used, the emulated LAN specified by the elan-name argument must have been created in the configuration server's database by use of the name server-atm-address command.
If an existing entry in the configuration server's database binds the LANE client ATM address to a different emulated LAN, the new command is rejected.
This command affects only the bindings in the named configuration server database. It has no effect on the LANE components themselves.
See the lane database command for information about creating the database, and the name server-atm-address command for information about binding the emulated LAN's name to the server's ATM address.
The client-atm-address name command is a subcommand of the global lane database command.
ATM Addresses
A LANE ATM address has the same syntax as a network service access point (NSAP), but it is not a network-level address. It consists of the following:
•
A 13-byte prefix that includes the following fields defined by the ATM Forum:
–
AFI (Authority and Format Identifier) field (1 byte), DCC (Data Country Code) or ICD (International Code Designator) field (2 bytes), DFI field (Domain Specific Part Format Identifier) (1 byte), Administrative Authority field (3 bytes), Reserved field (2 bytes), Routing Domain field (2 bytes), and the Area field (2 bytes)
•
A 6-byte end-system identifier (ESI)
•
A 1-byte selector field
Address Templates
LANE ATM address templates can use two types of wildcards: an asterisk (*) to match any single character (nibble), and an ellipsis (...) to match any number of leading, middle, or trailing characters. The values of the characters replaced by wildcards come from the automatically assigned ATM address.
In LANE, a prefix template explicitly matches the prefix but uses wildcards for the ESI and selector fields. An ESI template explicitly matches the ESI field but uses wildcards for the prefix and selector.
In our implementation of LANE, the prefix corresponds to the switch, the ESI corresponds to the ATM interface, and the selector field corresponds to the specific subinterface of the interface.
Examples
The following example uses an ESI template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the interface. This example allows any client on any subinterface of the interface that corresponds to the displayed ESI value, no matter to which switch the router is connected, to join the engineering emulated LAN:
client-atm-address ...0800.200C.1001.** name engineering
The following example uses a prefix template to specify the part of the ATM address corresponding to the switch. This example allows any client on a subinterface of any interface connected to the switch that corresponds to the displayed prefix to join the marketing emulated LAN:
client-atm-address 47.000014155551212f.00.00... name marketing

Usage Guidelines
Use an export route map when an application requires finer control over the routes exported by a VRF than provided by the import and export extended communities configured for the importing and exporting VRF.
The export map command associates a route map with the specified VRF. You can use a route map to filter target routes for a target VPN export by a VRF, based on the route target extended community attributes of the route. The route map might deny export to selected routes from a community on the export list.
An export map command with a set extcommunity rt command takes precedence over configured route targets (RTs), unless the additive keyword is specified. If the export map has a set community rt1 rt2 additive command, the previous RT list is kept and rt1 and rt2 are added to the RT list.

Usage Guidelines
All cache invalidation requests are honored immediately.
This command should typically not be used except under the guidance of technical support personnel. Incorrect settings can seriously degrade network performance.
The IP fast-switching and autonomous-switching features maintain a cache of IP routes for rapid access. When a packet is to be forwarded and the corresponding route is not present in the cache, the packet is process-switched and a new cache entry is built. However, when routing table changes occur (such as when a link or an interface goes down), the route cache must be flushed so that it can be rebuilt with up-to-date routing information.
This command controls how the route cache is flushed. The intent is to delay invalidation of the cache until after routing has settled down. Because route table changes tend to be clustered in a short period of time, and the cache may be flushed repeatedly, a high CPU load might be placed on the router.
When this feature is enabled, and the system requests that the route cache be flushed, the request is held for at least minimum seconds. Then the system determines whether the cache has been "quiet" (that is, less than threshold invalidation requests in the last quiet seconds). If the cache has been quiet, the cache is then flushed. If the cache does not become quiet within maximum seconds after the first request, it is flushed unconditionally.
Manipulation of these parameters trades off CPU utilization versus route convergence time. Timing of the routing protocols is not affected, but removal of stale cache entries is affected.
Examples
The following example sets a minimum delay of 5 seconds, a maximum delay of 30 seconds, and a quiet threshold of no more than 5 invalidation requests in the previous 10 seconds:
ip cache-invalidate-delay 5 30 10 5

Usage Guidelines
This command is not available on the Cisco 12000 series GSR because that router series operates only in distributed CEF mode.
CEF is advanced Layer 3 IP switching technology. CEF optimizes network performance and scalability for networks with dynamic, topologically dispersed traffic patterns, such as those associated with Web-based applications and interactive sessions.
If you enable CEF and then create an access list that uses the log keyword, the packets that match the access list are not CEF switched. They are fast switched. Logging disables CEF.
Examples
The following example enables standard CEF operation:
The following example enables dCEF operation:
