Cisco Express Forwarding—SNMP CEF-MIB Support
First Published: December 4, 2006
Last Updated: June 11, 2008
The Cisco Express Forwarding—SNMP CEF-MIB Support feature introduces the CISCO-CEF-MIB, which allows management applications through the use of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to configure and monitor Cisco Express Forwarding operational data and to provide notification when Cisco Express Forwarding encounters specific configured events. This module describes how to use the CISCO-CEF-MIB to manage and monitor objects related to Cisco Express Forwarding operation.
Cisco Express Forwarding is an advanced Layer 3 IP switching technology. It optimizes network performance and scalability for all kinds of networks: those that carry small amounts of traffic and those that carry large amounts of traffic in complex patterns, such as the Internet and networks characterized by intensive web-based applications or interactive sessions.

Cisco Express Forwarding Functional Overview
Cisco Express Forwarding is an advanced Layer 3 IP switching technology. It uses a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) to make IP destination prefix-based switching decisions. The FIB is conceptually similar to a routing table or information base. It maintains the forwarding information contained in the IP routing table. When routing or topology changes occur in the network, the IP routing table is updated, and those changes are propagated to the FIB. The FIB maintains next-hop address information based on the information in the IP routing table. The two main components of Cisco Express Forwarding operation are the FIB and adjacency tables.
Cisco Express Forwarding uses adjacency tables to prepend Layer 2 addressing information. An adjacency table maintains Layer 2 next-hop addresses for all FIB entries. Nodes in the network are said to be adjacent if they can reach each other with a single hop across a link layer. Cisco Express Forwarding discovers and solves adjacencies and populates the adjacency tables.
Note The CISCO-CEF-MIB prefix database and its related database can be very large. Therefore, executing a command that displays the prefix table could take a considerable amount of time.
Benefits of CISCO-CEF-MIB
Command-line interface (CLI) show commands are available to obtain Cisco Express Forwarding operational information. Managing Cisco Express Forwarding using the CLI can be a time-consuming task. The increasing capacity of Cisco routers makes parsing the show commands output to obtain the needed Cisco Express Forwarding operational parameters more and more difficult.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB and later releases, the CISCO-CEF-MIB allows you to manage and monitor the Cisco Express Forwarding operation using SNMP. In addition, you can configure SNMP to notify you if Cisco Express Forwarding encounters errors.
The CISCO-CEF-MIB introduced with the Cisco Express Forwarding—SNMP CEF-MIB Support feature gives you real-time access to operational information stored in the FIB and adjacency tables, switching statistics, and information on resource failures. The feature enables you to configure parameters related to Cisco Express Forwarding features by utilizing a MIB implementation based on SNMP. This information is accessed using get and set commands entered on the network management system (NMS) workstation or host system for which SNMP has been implemented. The NMS workstation is also known as the SNMP manager.
Cisco Express Forwarding is available in all Cisco routers. However, CISCO-CEF-MIB support of Cisco Express Forwarding management is dependent on the infrastructure introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(22)S.
The implementation of the CISCO-CEF-MIB in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SB2, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC,and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB manages Cisco Express Forwarding instances running on the Route Processor (RP). Information about Cisco Express Forwarding running on the line cards is available to the RP in reference to Cisco Express Forwarding peers only.
The CISCO-CEF-MIB supports configuration and monitoring for both IP versions, IP Version 4 (IPv4) and IP Version 6 (IPv6).
Cisco Express Forwarding Information Managed by the CISCO-CEF-MIB
SNMP has historically been used to collect network information. SNMP permits retrieval of critical information from network elements such as routers, switches, and workstations.
The CISCO-CEF-MIB provides managed objects that enable a network administrator to monitor the following:
•Cisco Express Forwarding administrative and operational states as displayed in the output of the show ip cef summary command
•Notifications for Cisco Express Forwarding events: Cisco Express Forwarding state changes, Cisco Express Forwarding failures (with a predefined reason), and Route Processor (RP) and line card inconsistencies
•Parameters related to Cisco Express Forwarding for the associated interface as displayed by the show cef interface command
•Line card Cisco Express Forwarding states and line card Cisco Express Forwarding FIB states in the Linecard table as displayed by the show cef linecard command
•Cisco Express Forwarding statistics: switching statistics, punt counters and punt-to-host counters as displayed by the show ip cef switching stats command, and per-prefix counters and nonrecursive counters
•IPv4 and IPv6 notification, when Cisco Express Forwarding is switched between disable and enable and between Cisco Express Forwarding and distributed Cisco Express Forwarding
The SNMP CISCO-CEF-MIB provides managed objects that enable a network administrator to configure the following:
•Cisco Express Forwarding and distributed Cisco Express Forwarding administration status
•Cisco Express Forwarding accounting-related parameters
•Cisco Express Forwarding load sharing-related parameters
•Traffic-related configuration parameters
CISCO-CEF-MIB Object Groups and Related Tables
The SNMP CISCO-CEF-MIB allows the configuration and management of objects related to Cisco Express Forwarding. The MIB contains the following object groups:
•CEF FIB group
•CEF Adjacency group
•CEF Forwarding Element group
•CEF Cfg group
•CEF Interface group
•CEF Peer group
•CEF Consistency (CC) group
•CEF State Group
•CEF Notification Control group
In the CISCO-CEF-MIB, configuration objects are defined as read-write, and the other objects are defined as read only.
The CISCO-CEF-MIB contains tables related to the Cisco Express Forwarding object groups. These tables provide information about prefixes, forwarding paths, adjacencies, output chain elements (OCEs), prefix-based statistics, information about Cisco Express Forwarding configuration, consistency checkers, switching statistics, and managed objects specific to line card-specific.
The CISCO-CEF-MIB also defines Cisco Express Forwarding notifications that you can enable or disable through the MIB or CLI commands.
The index for most tables in the CISCO-CEF-MIB is entPhysicalIndex.
Brief Description of the Tables in the CISCO-CEF-MIB
Following is a list and a brief description of the tables provided by the CISCO-CEF-MIB:
•The CEF FIB Summary table (cefFIBSummaryTable) contains the number of forwarding prefixes for both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. It is a summary of the CEF Forwarding table.
•The CEF Forwarding table (cefPrefixTable) lists all the prefixes and related counters. It also contains a pointer to the CEF Forwarding Element Selection table.
•The CEF Longest Match Prefix table (cefLMPrefixTable) returns the longest prefix match for the given destination address. An optional cefLMPrefixSpinLock object is provided to reduce conflict in instances when more than one application acts on the CEF Longest Match Prefix table.

Perform the following task to configure a router to use SNMP.
Before you can use the Cisco Express Forwarding—SNMP CEF-MIB Support feature, you must configure the SNMP server for the router.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. snmp-server community string [view view-name] [ro | rw] [ipv6 nacl] [access-list-number]
4. snmp-server community string2 rw
5. end
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
|
snmp-server community string [view view-name]
[ro | rw] [ipv6 nacl] [access-list-number]
Example:
Router(config)# snmp-server community public ro
|
Sets up the community access string to permit access to SNMP.
•The string argument is a community string that consists of from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters and functions much like a password, permitting access to the SNMP protocol. Blank spaces are not permitted in the community string.
•The view view-name keyword-argument pair is the name of a previously defined view. The view defines the objects available to the SNMP community.
•The ro keyword specifies read-only access. Authorized management stations can only retrieve MIB objects.
•The rw keyword specifies read-write access. Authorized management stations can retrieve and modify MIB objects.
•The ipv6 nacl keywords specify the IPv6 named access list.
•The access-list-number argument is an integer from 1 to 99. It specifies a standard access list of IP addresses or a string (not to exceed 64 characters) that is the name of a standard access list of IP addresses that are allowed access to the SNMP agent.
Alternatively, an integer from 1300 to 1999 that specifies a list of IP addresses in the expanded range of standard access list numbers. Devices at these addresses are allowed to use the community string to gain access to the SNMP agent.
Note The string argument (Step 3) and string2 argument (Step 4) provide a minimal level of security. It is advisable to provide the string for read-only access to others who need only to view and not to modify the MIB objects, and reserve the read-write access string for administrators only. The string2 argument (Step 4) should be different from the read-only string argument specified in this step.
|
Step 4
|
snmp-server community string2 rw
Example:
Router(config)# snmp-server community private
rw
|
Sets up the community access string to permit access to SNMP.
•The string2 argument is a community string that consists of from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters and functions much like a password, permitting access to the SNMP protocol. Blank spaces are not permitted in the community string.
•The rw keyword specifies read-write access. Authorized management stations can retrieve and modify MIB objects.
This example allows MIB objects to be retrieved and set because a string is specified with read-write access.
Note The string argument (Step 3) and string2 argument (Step 4) provide a minimal level of security. It is advisable to provide the string for read-only access to others who need only to view and not to modify the MIB objects, and reserve the read-write access string for administrators only. The string2 argument (Step 4) should be different from the read-only string argument specified in the preceding step (Step 3).

|
Sets up the community access string to permit access to SNMP.
•The string argument is a community string that consists of from 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters and functions much like a password, permitting access to the SNMP protocol. Blank spaces are not permitted in the community string.
•The ro keyword specifies read-only access. Authorized management stations can only retrieve MIB objects.
•The rw keyword specifies read-write access. Authorized management stations can retrieve and modify MIB objects.
|
Step 4
|
snmp-server community string2 rw
Example:

Router(config)# snmp-server host 10.56.125.47
informs version 2c public cef
|
Specifies the recipient of an SNMP notification operation.
•The ip-address argument is the IP address or IPv6 address of the SNMP notification host.
The SNMP notification host is typically a network management station (NMS or SNMP manager). This host is the recipient of the SNMP traps or informs.
•The vrf vrf-name keyword and argument specify that the specified VRF be used to send SNMP notifications.
•The traps keyword specifies that notifications should be sent as traps. This is the default.
•The informs keyword specifies that notifications should be sent as informs.
•The version keyword specifies the version of the SNMP used to send the traps. The default is 1.
If you use the version keyword, one of the following keywords must be specified:
–1—SNMPv1. This option is not available with informs.
–2c—SNMPv2c.
–3—SNMPv3. The most secure model because it allows packet encryption with the priv keyword. The default is noauth.
•One of the following three optional security level keywords can follow the version 3 keywords:
–auth—Enables Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) packet authentication.
–noauth—Specifies that the noAuthNoPriv security level applies to this host. This is the default security level for SNMPv3.
–priv—Enables Data Encryption Standard (DES) packet encryption (also called "privacy").
•The community-string argument specifies that a password-like community string be sent with the notification operation.
•The udp-port port keyword and argument specify that SNMP notifications or informs are to be sent to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number of the NMS host. The default is 162.
•The cef keyword specifies that the Cisco Express Forwarding notification type is to be sent to the host. If no type is specified, all available notifications are sent.

Configuring the Throttling Interval for CISCO-CEF-MIB Inconsistency Notifications
Perform the following task to configure the throttling interval for CISCO-CEF-MIB inconsistency notifications.
Configuring a throttling interval allows some time before an inconsistency notification is sent during the process of updating forwarding information from the Routing Information Base (RIB) to the RP and to the line card databases. As these databases are updated, inconsistencies might occur as a result of the asynchronous nature of the distribution mechanism for these databases. The throttling interval allows fleeting inconsistencies to resolve themselves before an inconsistency notification is sent.

Glossary
inform—A type of notification message that is more reliable than a conventional trap notification message because the informs message notification requires acknowledgment, but a trap notification does not.
IPC—Inter-Process Communication. The protocol used by routers that support distributed packet forwarding. The Cisco IOS version of IPC provides a reliable ordered delivery of messages using an underlying platform driver transport or User Date Protocol (UDP) transport protocol. Cisco IOS software IPC services allow line cards (LCs) and the central route processor (RP) in a distributed system, such as a Cisco 7500 series router, to communicate with each other by exchanging messages from the RP to the LCs. Communication messages are also exchanged between active and standby RPs. The IPC messages include configuration commands, responses to the configuration commands, and other events that are reported by an LC to the RP.
MIB—Management Information Base. A database of network management information that is used and maintained by a network management protocol such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The value of a MIB object can be changed or retrieved by the use of SNMP commands, usually through a network management system. MIB objects are organized in a tree structure that includes public (standard) and private (proprietary) branches.
NMS—network management station. A powerful, well-equipped computer (typically an engineering workstation) that is used by a network administrator to communicate with other devices in the network. An NMS is typically used to manage network resources, gather statistics, and perform a variety of network administration and configuration tasks. In the context of SNMP, an NMS is a device that performs SNMP queries to the SNMP agent of a managed device to retrieve or modify information.
notification—A message sent by a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to a network management station, console, or terminal to indicate that a significant network event has occurred.
SNMP—Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP enables a user to monitor and control network devices, manage configurations, collect statistics, monitor performance, and ensure network security.
SNMP community—An authentication scheme that enables an intelligent network device to validate SNMP requests.
SNMPv2c—Version 2c of the Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMPv2c supports centralized as well as distributed network management strategies and includes improvements in the Structure of Management Information (SMI), protocol operations, management architecture, and security.
trap—A message sent by an SNMP agent to a network management station, console, or terminal to indicate that a significant network event has occurred. Traps are less reliable than inform requests, because the receiver of the trap does not send an acknowledgment of receipt; furthermore, the sender of the trap cannot determine if the trap was received.
