Cisco IOS IP Switching Commands
clear adjacency
To clear the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) adjacency table, use the clear adjacency command in privileged EXEC mode.
clear adjacency
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
11.2 GS
This command was introduced to support the Cisco 12012 Internet router.
11.1 CC
Multiple platform support was added.
Usage Guidelines
When you issue this command, entries in the adjacency table that reside on the Route Processor (RP) are removed and then adjacency sources (such as ARP and Frame Relay) are requested to repopulate the adjacency tables once again. 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 RP. Therefore, clearing the adjacency table on the RP using the clear adjacency command also clears the adjacency tables on the line cards; all changes are propagated to the line cards.
Clearing adjacencies causes the adjacency table to repopulate from the Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping tables, such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). To cause the mappings to be re-evaluated, the source information must be cleared by using a Cisco IOS command, such as the clear arp-cache command.
Examples
The following example shows how to clear the adjacency table:
Router# clear adjacencyRelated Commands
clear arp-cache
Deletes all dynamic entries from the ARP cache.
show adjacency
Displays CEF adjacency table information.
clear adjacency epoch
To begin a new epoch and increment the epoch number of the adjacency table, use the clear adjacency epoch command in privileged EXEC mode.
clear adjacency epoch
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The clear adjacency epoch command increments the epoch and flushes entries with the old epoch. This command clears inconsistencies.
Use the clear adjacency epoch command when you want to rebuild the adjacency table. A new adjacency table might be required because the user wants to remove inconsistencies from the table.
Examples
The following example shows how to begin a new epoch and increments the epoch number of the adjacency table:
Router# clear adjacency epochRelated Commands
clear ip cef epoch
Begins a new epoch and increments the epoch number for a CEF table.
clear cef interface
To clear the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) per-interface traffic policy statistics for an interface, use the clear cef interface policy-statistics command in privileged EXEC mode.
clear cef interface [interface-type interface-number] policy-statistics
Syntax Description
interface-type
Type of interface to clear the policy statistics for
interface-number
Port, connector, or interface card number
Defaults
If you do not specify an interface type and interface number the policy statistics for all interfaces are cleared.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC

clear cef linecard
To clear Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) information from line cards, use the clear cef linecard command in privileged EXEC mode.
clear cef linecard [slot-number] [adjacency | interface | prefix | events]
Syntax Description
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
11.2GS
This command was introduced to support the Cisco 12012 Internet router.
11.1CC
Multiple platform support was added.
Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on distributed switching platforms running distributed CEF (dCEF).
CEF information on the line cards is cleared; however, CEF information on the Route Processor (RP) is not affected.
Once you clear CEF information from line cards, the corresponding information from the RP is propagated to the line cards. Interprocess communications (IPC) ensures that CEF information on the RP matches the CEF information on the line cards.
Examples
The following example shows how to clear the CEF information from the line cards:
Router# clear cef linecardThe following example shows how to clear the CEF linecard event log:
Router# clear cef linecard eventsAll recorded events will be lost. Continue? [yes/no]: yRouter#Related Commands
clear ip cache
To delete entries in the routing table cache used to fast switch IP traffic, use the clear ip cache command in the privileged EXEC mode.
clear ip cache [prefix mask]
Syntax Description
prefix mask
(Optional) Deletes only the entries in the cache that match the prefix and mask combination.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to clear routes from the routing table cache. You can remove all entries in the routing cache or you can remove only those entries associated with a specified prefix and mask.
Examples
The following command shows how to delete entire in the routing table cache:

ip cache-invalidate-delay
To control the invalidation rate of the IP route cache, use the ip cache-invalidate-delay command in global configuration mode. To allow the IP route cache to be immediately invalidated, use the no form of this command.
ip cache-invalidate-delay [minimum maximum quiet threshold]
no ip cache-invalidate-delay
Syntax Description
Defaults
minimum: 2 seconds
maximum: 5 seconds, and 3 seconds with no more than zero invalidation requestsCommand Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
After you enter the ip cache-invalidate-delay command all cache invalidation requests are honored immediately.
CautionThis command should only be used under the guidance of technical support personnel. Incorrect settings can seriously degrade network performance. The command-line-interface (CLI) will not allow you to enter the ip cache-invalidate-delay command until you configure the service internal command in global configuration mode.
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 shows how to set 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:
Router(config)# service internalRouter(config)# ip cache-invalidate-delay 5 30 10 5Related Commands
ip cef
To enable Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) on the route processor card, use the ip cef command in global configuration mode. To disable CEF, use the no form of this command.
ip cef [distributed]
no ip cef [distributed]
Syntax Description
distributed
(Optional) Enables distributed CEF (dCEF) operation. Distributes CEF information to line cards. Line cards perform express forwarding.
Defaults
CEF is disabled by default, excluding these platforms:
CEF is enabled on the Cisco 7100 series router.
CEF is enabled on the Cisco 7200 series router.
CEF is enabled on the Cisco 7500 series Internet router.
Distributed CEF is enabled on the Cisco 6500 series router
Distributed CEF is enabled on the Cisco 12000 series Internet router.Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The ip cef command is not available on the Cisco 12000 series because that router series operates only in dCEF 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 shows how to enable standard CEF operation:
Router(config)# ip cefThe following example shows host to enables dCEF operation:
Router(config)# ip cef distributedRelated Commands
ip cef accounting
To enable Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) network accounting, use the ip cef accounting command in global configuration mode or interface configuration mode. To disable network accounting of CEF, use the no form of this command.
ip cef accounting {[non-recursive] [per-prefix] [prefix-length]}
no ip cef accounting {[non-recursive] [per-prefix] [prefix-length]}
Specific CEF Accounting Information Through Interface Configuration Mode
ip cef accounting non-recursive {external | internal}
no ip cef accounting non-recursive {external | internal}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Accounting is disabled by default.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You might want to collect statistics to better understand CEF patterns in your network.
When you enable network accounting for CEF from global configuration mode, accounting information is collected at the Route Processor (RP) when CEF mode is enabled and at the line cards when distributed CEF (dCEF) mode is enabled. You can then display the collected accounting information using the show ip cef privileged EXEC command.
For prefixes with directly connected next hops, the non-recursive keyword enables the collection of packets and bytes to be express forwarded through a prefix. This keyword is optional when this command is used in global configuration mode.
This command in interface configuration mode must be used in conjunction with the global configuration command. The interface configuration command allows a user to specify two different bins (internal or external) for the accumulation of statistics. The internal bin is used by default. The statistics are displayed through the show ip cef detail command.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the collection of CEF accounting information:
Router(config)# ip cef accountingRelated Commands
ip cef linecard ipc memory
To configure the line card memory pool for the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) queuing messages, use the ip cef linecard ipc memory command in global configuration mode. To return to the default Inter-process Communications (IPC) memory allocation, use the no form of this command.
ip cef linecard ipc memory kbps
no ip cef linecard ipc memory kbps
Syntax Description
Defaults
Default IPC memory allocation is 25 messages. However, this value is dependant on the switching platform.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on distributed switching platforms.
If you are expecting large routing updates to the Route Processor (RP), use this command to allocate a larger memory pool on the line cards for queuing CEF routing update messages. The memory pool reduces the transient memory requirements on the RP.
To display and monitor the current size of the CEF message queues, use the show cef linecard command. Also, the peak size is recorded and displayed when you use the detail keyword.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the CEF line card memory queue to 128000 kilobytes per second:
Router(config)# ip cef linecard ipc memory 128000Related Commands
show cef linecard
Displays detailed CEF information for the specified line card.
ip cef load-sharing algorithm
To select a Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) load balancing algorithm, use the ip cef load-sharing algorithm command in global configuration mode. To return to the default universal load balancing algorithm, use the no form of this command.
ip cef load-sharing algorithm {original | tunnel [id] | universal [id]}
no ip cef load-sharing algorithm {original | tunnel [id] | universal [id]}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The universal load sharing algorithm is selected.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
12.0(12)S
This command was introduced.
12.1(5)T
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T.
Usage Guidelines
The original CEF load sharing algorithm produced distortions in load sharing across multiple routers due to the use of the same algorithm on every router. When the load sharing algorithm is set to universal mode, each router on the network can make a different load sharing decision for each source-destination address pair which resolves load sharing distortions.
The tunnel algorithm is designed to more fairly share load when only a few source-destination pairs are involved.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the CEF load sharing algorithm for universal environments:
Router(config)# ip cef load-sharing algorithm universal 1Related Commands
debug ip cef hash
Records CEF load sharing hash algorithm events
ip load-sharing
Enables load balancing.
ip cef table adjacency-prefix
To modify how Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) adjacency prefixes are managed, use the ip cef table adjacency-prefix command in global configuration mode. To disable CEF adjacency prefix management, use the no form of this command.
ip cef table adjacency-prefix [override | validate]
no ip cef table adjacency-prefix [override | validate]
Syntax Description
override
Enables Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) adjacency prefixes to override static host glean routes.
validate
Enables the periodic validation of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) adjacency prefixes.
Defaults
All CEF adjacency prefix management is disabled by default.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When CEF is configured, the forwarding information base (FIB) table may conflict with static host routes that are specified in terms of an output interface or created by a Layer 2 address resolution protocols such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), map lists, and so on.
The Layer 2 address resolution protocol adds adjacencies to CEF, which in turn creates a corresponding host route entry in the FIB table. This entry is called an adjacency prefix.
override
If the CEF adjacency prefix entries are also configured by a static host route, a conflict occurs.
This command ensures that adjacency prefixes can override static host glean routes, and correctly restore routes when the adjacency prefix is deleted.
validate
When you add a /31 netmask route, the new netmask does not overwrite an existing /32 CEF entry. This problem is resolved by configuring the validate keyword to periodically validate prefixes derived from adjacencies in the FIB against prefixes originating from the RIB.
Examples
override
The following example shows how to enable CEF table adjacency prefix override:
Router(config)# ip cef table adjacency-prefix overridevalidate
The following example shows how to enable CEF table adjacency prefix validation:
Router(config)# ip cef table adjacency-prefix validateip cef table adjacency-prefix override
The override keyword for the ip cef table adjacency-prefix command is no longer documented as a separate command.
The information for using the override keyword for the ip cef table adjacency-prefix command has been incorporated into the ip cef table adjacency-prefix command documentation. See the ip cef table adjacency-prefix command documentation for more information.
ip cef table consistency-check
To enable Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) table consistency checker types and parameters, use the ip cef table consistency-check command in global configuration mode. To disable consistency checkers, use the no form of this command.
ip cef table consistency-check [type {lc-detect | scan-lc | scan-rib | scan-rp}] [count count-number] [period seconds]
no ip cef table consistency-check [type {lc-detect | scan-lc | scan-rib | scan-rp}] [count count-number] [period seconds]

12.2(2)T
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures CEF consistency checkers and parameters for the following detection mechanism types:
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the CEF consistency checkers:
Router(config)# ip cef table consistency-checkRelated Commands,
ip cef table event-log
To control Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) table event-log characteristics, use the ip cef table event-log command in global configuration mode.

Default size for event log is 10000 entries.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
12.0(15)S
This command was introduced.
12.2(2)T
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T.
Usage Guidelines
This command is used to troubleshoot inconsistencies that occur in the CEF event log between the routes in the Routing Information Base (RIB), Route Processor (RP) CEF tables, and line card CEF tables.
The CEF event log collects CEF events as they occur without debugging enabled. This process allows the tracing of an event immediately after it occurs. Cisco technical personnel may ask for information from this event log to aid in resolving problems with the CEF feature.
When the CEF table event log has reached its capacity, the oldest event is written over by the newest event until the event log size is reset using this command or cleared using the clear ip cef event-log command.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the CEF table event log size to 5000 entries:
Router(config)# ip cef table event-log size 5000Related Commands
ip cef table resolution-timer
To change the Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) background resolution timer, use the ip cef table resolution-timer command in global configuration mode.
ip cef table resolution-timer seconds
no ip cef table resolution-timer seconds
Syntax Description
seconds
Timer value in seconds. Range is from 0 to 30 seconds; 0 is for the automatic exponential backoff scheme.
Defaults
The default configuration value is 0 seconds for automatic exponential backoff.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The CEF background resolution timer can use either a fixed time interval or an exponential backoff timer that reacts to the amount of resolution work required. The exponential backoff timer starts at 1 second, increasing to 16 seconds when a network flap is in progress. When the network recovers, the timer returns to 1 second.
The default is used for the exponential backoff timer. During normal operation, the default configuration value set to 0 results in re-resolution occurring much sooner than when the timer is set at a higher fixed interval.
Examples
The following example show how to set the CEF background resolution timer to 3 seconds:
Router(config)# ip cef table resolution-timer 3ip load-sharing
To enable load balancing for Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), use the ip load-sharing command in interface configuration mode.
ip load-sharing [per-packet] [per-destination]
Syntax Description
per-packet
(Optional) Enables per-packet load balancing on the interface.
per-destination
(Optional) Enables per-destination load balancing on the interface.
Defaults
Per-destination load balancing is enabled by default when you enable CEF.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
11.2 GS
This command was introduced.
11.1 CC
Multiple platform support was added.
Usage Guidelines
Per-packet load balancing allows the router to send data packets over successive equal-cost paths without regard to individual destination hosts or user sessions. Path utilization is good, but packets destined for a given destination host might take different paths and might arrive out of order.
Note
Per-destination load balancing allows the router to use multiple, equal-cost paths to achieve load sharing. Packets for a given source-destination host pair are guaranteed to take the same path, even if multiple, equal-cost paths are available. Traffic for different source-destination host pairs tend to take different paths.
Note
Examples
The following example shows how to enable per-packet load balancing:
Router(config)# interface E0Router(config-if)# ip load-sharing per-packetThe following example shows how to enable per-destination load balancing:
Router(config)# interface E0Router(config-if)# ip load-sharing per-destinationRelated Commands

ip route-cache
Using the route cache is often called fast switching. The route cache allows outgoing packets to be load-balanced on a per-destination basis rather than on a per-packet basis. The ip route-cache command with no additional keywords enables fast switching.
Entering the ip route-cache command has no effect on a subinterface. Subinterfaces accept the no form of the command; however, this disables CEF or dCEF on the physical interface as well as all subinterfaces associated with the physical interface
ip route-cache same-interface
You can enable IP fast switching when the input and output interfaces are the same interface, using the ip route-cache same-interface command. This configuration normally is not recommended, although it is useful when you have partially meshed media, such as Frame Relay or you are running Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) redirection. You could use this feature on other interfaces, although it is not recommended because it would interfere with redirection of packets to the optimal path.
ip route-cache flow
Enables (ingress) NetFlow accounting for traffic arriving on an interface.
ip route-cache distributed
The distributed option is supported on Cisco routers with line cards and Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs) that support both CEF and flow switching.
On Cisco routers with Route Switch Processor (RSP) and VIP controllers, the VIP hardware can be configured to switch packets received by the VIP with no per-packet intervention on the part of the RSP. When VIP distributed switching is enabled, the input VIP interface tries to switch IP packets instead of forwarding them to the RSP for switching. Distributed switching helps decrease the demand on the RSP
ip route-cache cef
In some instances, you might want to disable CEF or dCEF on a particular interface because that interface is configured with a feature that CEF or dCEF does not support. Because all interfaces that support CEF or dCEF are enabled by default when you enable CEF operation globally, you must use the no form of the ip route-cache cef command in the interface configuration mode to turn CEF operation off a particular interface. To reenable CEF or dCEF operation, use the ip route-cache cef command.
Disabling CEF or dCEF on an interface disables CEF switching for packets forwarded to the interface, but has no effect on packets forwarded out of the interface.
Additionally when you disable CEF or dCEF, Cisco IOS software switches packets using the next-fastest switching path. In the case of dCEF, the next-fastest switching path is CEF on the RSP.
Note

Also, at the process level, the routing table is consulted to determine if the interface is on a reasonable path to the destination. During fast switching, the software does not make this check. Instead, if the packet matches, the software blindly forwards the packet to the specified interface.Examples

show cef drop
To display a list of which packets each line card dropped, use the show cef drop command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode.
show cef drop
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Command Modes
User EXEC
Privileged EXECCommand History
Usage Guidelines
A line card might drop packets because of encapsulation failure, absence of route information, or absence of adjacency information.
A packet is sent to a different switching path (punted) because CEF does not support the encapsulation or feature, the packet is destined for the router, or the packet has IP options, such as time stamp and record route. IP options are process switched.
