Feature Information for EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

EtherChannel for the Cisco Cable Modem Termination System

First Published: February 14, 2008

This document describes the features, benefits and configuration of Cisco EtherChannel technology on the Cisco Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS).

Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA integrates support for this feature on the Cisco CMTS routers. This feature is also supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.3BC, and this document contains information that references many legacy documents related to Cisco IOS 12.3BC. In general, any references to Cisco IOS Release 12.3BC also apply to Cisco IOS Release 12.2SC.

EtherChannel is a technology by which to configure and aggregate multiple physical Ethernet connections to form a single logical port with higher bandwidth. The first EtherChannel port configured on the Cisco CMTS serves as the EtherChannel bundle master by default, and each slave interface interacts with the network using the MAC address of the EtherChannel bundle master.

EtherChannel ports reside on a routing or bridging end-point. The router or switch uses EtherChannel to increase bandwidth utilization in either half- or full-duplex mode, and load balances the traffic across the multiple physical connections.

EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS supports inter-VLAN routing with multiple devices and standards, and supports FastEtherChannel (FEC) and Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco CMTS depending on the router and associated processing modules in the chassis.

Restrictions for EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

The following restrictions apply to both the Cisco uBR10012 and Cisco uBR7246VXR routers with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(9a)BC and earlier supported releases, and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA and later releases:

•EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS is limited to Network Layer 3 functions, and does not support Data-Link Layer 2 EtherChannel functions as with certain other Cisco product platforms.

•The Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) is not supported on the Cisco CMTS as with other Cisco product platforms (such as the CatOS switch).

•Only the IEEE 802.1Q trunking protocol is supported on the Cisco CMTS. ATM trunking is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 or Cisco uBR7246VXR routers as of this release.

•The maximum supported links per bundle is 4.

•Starting Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)BC, EtherChannel on the Cisco uBR10012 router does not support MQC QOS. You can use Equal Cost Multi Path (ECMP) load balancing instead of EtherChannel.

Information About EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

Several Cisco product platforms currently support EtherChannel, such as the Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco Catalyst Switches. This document describes EtherChannel on the following Cisco CMTS router platforms:

•Introduction to EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

•Cisco FastEtherChannel (FEC) and GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR7246VXR Router

•Cisco GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Introduction to EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

EtherChannel is based on proven industry-standard technology. The Cisco CMTS supports EtherChannel with several benefits, including the following:

•EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS supports subsecond convergence times.

•EtherChannel can be used to connect two switch devices together, or to connect a router with a switch.

•A single EtherChannel connection supports a higher bandwidth between the two devices.

•The logical port channels on either Cisco CMTS platform provide fault-tolerant, high-speed links between routers, switches, and servers.

•EtherChannel offers redundancy and high availability on the Cisco CMTS. Failure of one connection causes a switch or router to use load balancing across the other connections in the EtherChannel.

•Load balancing on the Cisco CMTS supports dynamic link addition and removal without traffic interruption.

•EtherChannel supports inter-VLAN trunking. Trunking carries traffic from several VLANs over a point-to-point link between the two devices. The network provides inter-VLAN communication with trunking between the Cisco CMTS router and one or more switches. In a campus network, trunking is configured over an EtherChannel link to carry the multiple VLAN information over a high-bandwidth channel.

Cisco FastEtherChannel (FEC) and GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR7246VXR Router

Cisco's Fast EtherChannel (FEC) technology builds upon standards-based 802.3 full-duplex Fast Ethernet to provide a reliable high-speed solution for network managers who require higher bandwidth between servers, routers, and switches than single-link Ethernet technology can provide.

Fast EtherChannel provides bandwidth scalability within the network backbone by providing increments from 200 Mbps to 800 Mbps with multi-gigabit capacity available on an increasing number of platforms.

Fast EtherChannel technology solves the immediate problem of scaling bandwidth within the network backbone, and can be applied to support Gigabit EtherChannels.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)BC3 introduced support for Cisco EtherChannel technology for the Cisco uBR7246VXR router, and support continues with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(9a)BC. FEC on the Cisco uBR7246VXR router includes the following EtherChannel capabilities:

•Supports a maximum of four physical ports to be combined into one logical FEC or GEC link.

•Supports bandwidth up to 800 Mbps FEC (Fast EtherChannel full duplex) on the Cisco uBR7246VXR router.

•Supports bandwidth up to 4 Gbps GEC (Gigabit EtherChannel—half-duplex) for a combined total of up to 8 Gbps (full-duplex) with the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 processor.

The Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 processor includes three onboard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. If you want to use these interfaces to replace the Fast Ethernet interfaces on the existing I/O controller, you will have to configure the new interfaces before they can be used to access the network. If you are also removing the existing I/O controller, you remove the configuration for its Fast Ethernet interfaces.

The Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 contains its own onboard I/O controller, which includes the boot flash memory and NVRAM memory. After you install the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 in a chassis, you can no longer access the boot flash and NVRAM memory on the I/O controller. You must therefore copy the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file to the memory on the Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1.

Cisco GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR10012 Router

Cisco GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) is high-performance Ethernet technology that provides gigabit-per-second transmission rates. It provides flexible, scalable bandwidth with resiliency and load sharing across links for switches, router interfaces, and servers.

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(9a)BC supports GigabitEtherChannel on the Cisco uBR10012 router with the following EtherChannel capabilities:

•Supports IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation for inter-VLAN networking.

•Supports a maximum of four physical Ethernet ports to be combined as one logical EtherChannel link.

•Supports bandwidth up to 4 Gbps GEC (Gigabit EtherChannel—half duplex) for a combined total of up to 8 Gbps (full duplex) on the Cisco uBR10012 router with PRE2 performance routing engine modules.

How to Configure EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

Refer to the following procedures to configure EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS:

•Cisco FastEtherChannel (FEC) and GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR7246VXR Router

•"Verifying EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS" section

•"Configuration Examples for EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS" section

Configuring FEC or GEC EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

This procedure describes and illustrates the configuration of EtherChannel FEC or GEC on the Cisco uBR7246VXR or Cisco uBR10012 routers, as described in Table 1.

Prerequisites

•Cisco IOS 12.2(9a)BC is installed or upgraded on either the Cisco uBR10012 or Cisco uBR7246VXR universal broadband router.

•Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet modules and interfaces are installed on the Cisco uBR7246VXR chassis as described in the "Cisco FastEtherChannel (FEC) and GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR7246VXR Router" section on page 4.

•PRE2 modules are installed in the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis as described in the "Cisco GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) on the Cisco uBR10012 Router" section.

•Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet cabling is completed and the ports are operational on the router and network.

•LAN interfaces are configured and operational on the router and network, with IP addresses and subnet masks.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface port-channel number

4. exit

5. interface gigabitethernet slot/{subslot}/port

or

6. interface fastethernet slot/(subslot}/port

7. shutdown

8. channel-group number

9. no shutdown

10. Ctrl-Z

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface port-channel n
Example:

Router(config)# interface port-channel 1

Creates an EtherChannel interface. The first EtherChannel interface configured becomes the bundle master for all ports in the EtherChannel group. The MAC address of the first EtherChannel interface is the MAC address for all EtherChannel interfaces in the group.

•n—EtherChannel port number for the specified port. The EtherChannel port number may range from 1 to 64.

To remove an EtherChannel interface from the EtherChannel group, use the no form of this command.

For illustration, the example at left names the interface Port-channel1.

If the first EtherChannel interface in the group is later removed, the second EtherChannel interface in the group becomes the bundle master by default.

Repeat this step on every EtherChannel port to be bundled into a FEC or GEC group. This configuration must be present on all EtherChannel interfaces before the EtherChannel group can be configured.

Step 4

exit
Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

Exits interface configuration mode for Port-channel1 and returns to global configuration mode.

Step 5

interface gigabitethernet slot/{subslot}/port
Example:

Router# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0

(Gigabit Ethernet interface only) Selects the Gigabit Ethernet interface that you wish to add as a member EtherChannel link in the EtherChannel bundle, and enters interface configuration mode.

The Cisco CMTS Cisco uBR10012 and Cisco uBR7246VXR routers differ in slot selection as follows:

–slot/subslot/port—Cisco uBR10012 router

–slot/port—Cisco uBR7246VXR router

Note Cisco recommends that the link being added to the Cisco CMTS EtherChannel be shut down prior to configuring it as a member of the EtherChannel. Use the shutdown command in interface configuration mode immediately before completing the following steps in this procedure.

Step 6

interface fastethernet slot/(subslot}port
Example:

Router# interface fastethernet 3/0

(Fast Ethernet interface only) Selects a Fast Ethernet interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Note The Cisco CMTS Cisco uBR10012 and Cisco uBR7246VXR routers differ in slot selection as follows:

–slot/subslot/port—Cisco uBR10012 router

–slot/port—Cisco uBR7246VXR router

Step 7

shutdown
Example:

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Shuts down the interface selected in Step 5 or Step 6 above prior to configuring it as a member of the EtherChannel.

Note Cisco recommends that the link being added to the Cisco CMTS EtherChannel be shut down prior to configuring it as a member of the EtherChannel.

Step 8

channel-group number
Example:

Router(config-if)# channel-group 1

Adds the current interface (Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet) to the EtherChannel Group, associating that interface with an EtherChannel link.

•number—The identifying number for the EtherChannel group with which to associate this interface. An EtherChannel group can be identified in the range of 1 to 64, and each group can have up to four interfaces, only one of which is the master.

To remove an EtherChannel group and the associated ports from the Cisco CMTS, use the no form of this command.

Step 9

no shutdown
Example:

Enables the interface on which EtherChannel is configured.

Step 10

Ctrl-Z
Example:

Router(config# Ctrl-z

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

IP traffic should be visible on the network with completion of the above steps.

Examples

See Configuration Examples for EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS, page 8.

Troubleshooting Tips

Once interface operations are confirmed (prior to this procedure), and EtherChannel configurations have been verified (next procedure), any difficulty experienced through the EtherChannel links may pertain to inter-VLAN or IP routing on the network, or perhaps very high bandwidth consumption.

See the "Additional References" section on page 10 for further resources in troubleshooting these and additional configurations.

What to Do Next

Additional IP, access list, inter-VLAN or load balancing configurations may be made to the Cisco CMTS and these changes will be supported in the running EtherChannel configuration without service disruption from EtherChannel. Refer to the "Additional References" section on page 11 for more information.

Verifying EtherChannel on the Cisco CMTS

Links can be added or removed from an EtherChannel interface without traffic interruption. If an Ethernet link in an EtherChannel interface fails, traffic previously carried over the failed link switches to the remaining links within the EtherChannel. There are a number of events that can cause a link to be added or removed including adding or removing a link using Cisco IOS commands and simulating link failure and recovery (as with (no)shutdown links).

Cisco EtherChannel supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the Cisco CMTS chassis. Ports that remain active during OIR of one FRU will take over and support the traffic bandwidth requirements without service disruption. However, OIR is not described in this procedure. Refer to the "Additional References" section on page 10 for complete OIR procedures and guidelines for the respective FRU.
