Configuring Token Ring Inter-Switch Link
This chapter explains how to configure Token Ring Inter-Switch Link (TRISL) on Cisco routers. The chapter describes TRISL in the context of the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol and the Token Ring VLAN concept.
For a complete description of the Token Ring Inter-Switch Link commands in this chapter, refer to the "Token Ring Inter-Switch Link Commands" chapter in the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Command Reference (Volume 1 of 2). To locate documentation of other commands that appear in this chapter, use the command reference master index or search online. For information on how Token Ring VLANs are implemented on switches, refer to the Catalyst Token Ring Switching Implementation Guide, the Catalyst 5000 Series Token Ring Configuration Notes, the Catalyst 3900 Token Ring Switching User Guide, and the Catalyst 3920 Token Ring Switching User Guide.

Technology Overview
Cisco's TRISL Implementation
This section contains information related to Cisco's implementation of TRISL that you should understand before you proceed to the "TRISL Configuration Task List" section.
ISL and TRISL
ISL is a Layer 2 protocol that enables switches and routers to transport Ethernet frames from multiple VLANs across Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links. Cisco's TRISL protocol extends the ISL model to include the transport of Token Ring frames from multiple VLANs across these same links.
TRISL support on Cisco routers provides inter-VLAN routing and bridging across a 100-Mb Fast Ethernet link. ISL and TRISL together provide routing and bridging between Token Ring and Ethernet LANs, ELANS, and VLANs.
TRISL is supported on the following platforms with any one of the following port adapters:
•Cisco 7500 or Cisco 7200 series routers
–Two-port Fast Ethernet/ISL 100BaseTX
–Two-port Fast Ethernet/ISL 100BaseFX
–One-port Fast Ethernet 100BaseTX
–One-port Fast Ethernet 100BaseFX
•Cisco 4500 or 4700 series routers
–NM-1FE
•Cisco 3600 or 2600 series routers
–NM-1FE1CE1
–NM-1FE1CT1
–NM-1FE1R2W
–NM-1FE2CE1
–NM-1FE2CT1
–NM-1FE2W
–NM-2FE2W
Note The two-port Fast Ethernet/ISL port adapters support frame sizes up to 17800 bytes and the one-port Fast Ethernet port adapters support a frame size of up to 1500 bytes.
TRISL provides the following capabilities and features, which will be described in the "TRISL Configuration Task List" section and the "TRISL Configuration Examples" section:
•IP routing for source-routed and non-source-routed frames between TRISL VLANs and any LAN, ELAN, or VLAN.
•IPX routing for source-routed and non-source-routed frames between TRISL VLANs and any LANs, ELANs, or VLANs.
•Source-Route Bridging (SRB) between TRISL VLANs and SRB-capable LANs, ELANs, or VLANs.
•Source-Route Transparent Bridging (SRT) between TRISL VLANs and SRT-capable LANs, ELANs, or VLANs.
•Source-Route Translational Bridging (SR/TLB) between TRISL VLANs and Ethernet LANs, ELANs, or VLANs.
•Duplicate Ring Protocol (DRiP), which prevents external loops that could result if the router's virtual ring number were duplicated elsewhere in the network.
Note VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) is currently not supported for TRISL on the routers.
Token Ring VLANs
A VLAN is essentially a broadcast domain. In transparent bridging, there is only one type of broadcast frame and, therefore, only one level of broadcast domain and one level of VLAN. In source routing, however, there are two types of broadcast frames:
•Those that are confined to a single ring
•Those that traverse the bridged domain
Therefore, there are two levels of VLANs in a Token Ring switched network.
The first level is the Token Ring Concentrator Relay Function (TrCRF). At this level, the VLAN is a logical ring and, as such, is assigned a ring number. On a Token Ring switch, the logical ring (TrCRF) contains one or more physical ports. On a router, the logical ring (TrCRF) does not contain any physical ports, but rather is used only in processing source-routed traffic to terminate the routing information field (RIF).
The second level is the Token Ring Bridge Relay Function (TrBRF). This is the parent VLAN to which TrCRF VLANs are assigned. At this level, the VLAN is a logical bridge and, as such, is assigned a bridge number. The logical bridge (TrBRF) contains the virtual ports that establish a connection between the TrBRF and its TrCRFs. The TrBRF can be extended across a network of switches and routers via ISL, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Physical View of Switches Interconnected via ISL
When you extend the TrBRF across an ISL link, you are essentially extending the bridge across devices, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Logical View of Switches Interconnected via ISL
Therefore, if you use source-route bridging between the TrCRFs that belong to the TrBRF, only one hop appears in the RIF.
Traffic is switched between the ports in a TrCRF and bridged via SRB or SRT between the TrCRFs in a TrBRF.
Figure 3 illustrates a TrBRF that contains TrCRFs on both a router and a switch.
Figure 3 TrCRFs in a TrBRF
TRISL Configuration Task List
To configure and monitor TRISL in your network, perform one or more of the following tasks:
•Configuring IP Routing over TRISL
•Configuring Hot Standby Router Protocol over TRISL
•Configuring IPX Routing over TRISL
•Configuring Source-Route Bridging over TRISL
•Configuring Source-Route Transparent Bridging over TRISL
•Configuring Source-Route Translational Bridging over TRISL
See the "TRISL Configuration Examples" section for examples.
Configuring IP Routing over TRISL
The IP routing over TRISL VLANs feature extends IP routing capabilities to include support for routing IP frame types in VLAN configurations. To configure IP routing over TRISL, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
You can configure TRISL to route source-routed traffic by enabling the collection and use of RIF information on a TRISL subinterface. This creates a "pseudoring" to terminate the RIF path on a ring. Without RIF information, a packet could not be bridged across a source-route bridged network connected to this interface.
To route source-routed traffic, use the following additional commands in interface configuration mode:
Note TRISL encapsulation must be specified for a subinterface before an IP address can be assigned to that subinterface.
Configuring Hot Standby Router Protocol over TRISL
The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) provides fault tolerance and enhanced routing performance for IP networks. HSRP allows Cisco routers to monitor each other's operational status and very quickly assume packet forwarding responsibility in the event the current forwarding device in the HSRP group fails or is taken down for maintenance. The standby mechanism remains transparent to the attached hosts and can be deployed on any LAN type. With multiple hot-standby groups, routers can simultaneously provide redundant backup and perform load-sharing across different IP subsets.
To configure HSRP over TRISL between VLANs, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
To customize hot standby group attributes, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode, as needed:
Configuring IPX Routing over TRISL
The IPX Routing over ISL VLANs feature extends Novell NetWare routing capabilities to include support for routing all standard IPX encapsulations for Token Ring frame types in VLAN configurations. Users with Novell NetWare environments can configure either SAP or SNAP encapsulations to be routed using the TRISL encapsulation across VLAN boundaries.
Netware users can now configure consolidated VLAN routing over a single VLAN trunking interface. With configurable Token Ring encapsulation protocols on a per VLAN basis, users have the flexibility of using VLANs regardless of their NetWare Token Ring encapsulation. Encapsulation types and corresponding framing types are described in the "Configuring Novell IPX" chapter of the Cisco IOS AppleTalk and Novell IPX Configuration Guide.
Note Only one type of IPX encapsulation can be configured per VLAN (subinterface). The IPX encapsulation used must be the same within any particular subnet. A single encapsulation must be used by all NetWare systems that belong to the same LAN.
To configure Cisco IOS software to route IPX on a router with connected VLANs, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Note The default IPX encapsulation format for Token Ring in Cisco IOS routers is SAP. Therefore, you only need to explicitly configure the IPX encapsulation type if your Token Ring network requires SNAP encapsulation instead of SAP.
When routing source-routed traffic for specific VLANs, use the following additional commands in interface configuration mode:
Configuring Source-Route Bridging over TRISL
To configure SRB over TRISL, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Configuring Source-Route Transparent Bridging over TRISL
To configure transparent bridging over TRISL, use the following command beginning in global configuration mode:
Configuring Source-Route Translational Bridging over TRISL
To configure source-route translational bridging over TRISL, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Note For a complete description of SR/TLB, including configuring translation compatibility with IBM 8209 bridges and configuring Token Ring LLC2 to Ethernet Type II (0x80d5) and Token Ring LLC2 to Ethernet 802.3 LLC2 (standard) translations, please refer to the "Configuring Source-Route Bridging" chapter in this publication and "Source-Route Bridging Commands" chapter in the Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Command Reference (Volume 1 of 2).
Configuring Automatic Spanning Tree
The automatic spanning-tree function supports automatic resolution of spanning trees in SRB networks, which provides a single path for spanning explorer frames to traverse from a given node in the network to another. Spanning explorer frames have a single-route broadcast indicator set in the routing information field. Port identifiers consist of ring numbers and bridge numbers associated with the ports. The spanning-tree algorithm for SRB does not support Topology Change Notification Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU).
Although the automatic spanning-tree function can be configured with Source-Route Translational Bridging (SR/TLB), the SRB domain and transparent bridging domain have separate spanning trees. Each Token Ring interface can belong to only one spanning tree. Only one bridge group can run the automatic spanning-tree function at a time.
To create a bridge group that runs an automatic spanning-tree function compatible with the IBM SRB spanning-tree implementation, use the following command in global configuration mode:
|
|
---|---|
Router(config)# bridge bridge-group protocol ibm |
Creates a bridge group that runs the automatic spanning-tree function. |
To enable the automatic spanning-tree function for a specified group of bridged interfaces in SRB or SR/TLB, use the following command in interface configuration mode:
|
|
---|---|
Router(config-if)# source-bridge spanning bridge-group |
Enables the automatic spanning-tree function on a group of bridged interfaces. |
Monitoring TRISL Statistics
You can collect, clear, and display statistical information about the network.
The Duplicate Ring Protocol (DRiP) runs on Cisco routers and switches that support switched VLAN networking and is used to identify active Token Ring VLANs (TrCRFs).
DRiP maintains the status of TrCRFs and uses this information to determine whether there are multiple TrCRFs active in a TrBRF.
DRiP information is used for the following:
•All-routes explorer filtering
DRiP information is used in conjunction with the local configuration to determine which of the TrCRFs configured within a TrBRF have active ports. This information is used on the base switch to correctly filter all-routes explorers and on the ISL module to discard AREs that have already been on an attached ring.
•Detecting the configuration of duplicate TrCRFs across routers and switches, which would cause a TrCRF to be distributed across ISL trunks
DRiP information is used in conjunction with the local configuration information to determine which TrCRFs are already active on the switches. If a TrCRF is enabled on more than one switch or router, the ports associated with the TrCRF are disabled on all switches. A router will not disable the internal ring used for SRB and for routing source-routed traffic. Instead, the router generates the following error message to indicate that two identical TrCRFs exist:
DRIP conflict with CRF <vlan-id>
To show or clear DRiP or VLAN statistics, use one or all the following command in privileged EXEC mode:
Note When DRiP counters are cleared, the counter is reset to 0. Incrementing of DRiP counters indicates that the router is receiving packets across the TrBRF.

TRISL with Fast EtherChannel only runs on the Cisco 7500. The MTU size can be set to more than 1500 if all the members of the port channel interface are 2FE/ISL adaptors. If, on the other hand, any member of the port channel interface is a non 2FE/ISL adaptor, then the MTU size is not configurable and defaults to 1500 bytes. Also, only IP utilizes all four links. Spanning Tree Protocol must be disabled if transparent bridging is configured on the FEC. The port-channel interface is the routed interface. Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical Fast Ethernet interfaces. Do not assign bridge groups on the physical Fast Ethernet interfaces because it creates loops. Also, you must disable Spanning Tree Protocol if transparent bridging is configured on the FEC.
