An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
This chapter provides an introduction to IP routing and IP routing protocols  
used in the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series. Subsequent  
chapters will provide a more detailed description of switch capabilities and  
configuration procedures.  
IP routing  
To configure IP routing on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series,  
use virtual local area networks (VLAN) to create virtual router interfaces by  
assigning an IP address to the VLAN. This section discusses this concept  
in depth.  
For a more detailed description about VLANs and their use, consult Nortel  
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series Release 5.1 Configuration - VLANs,  
Spanning Tree, and Link Aggregation.  
IP addressing  
An IP version 4 (IPv4) address consists of 32 bits expressed in a  
dotted-decimal format (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX). The IPv4 address space is  
divided into classes, with classes A, B, and C reserved for unicast addresses  
and accounting for 87.5 percent of the 32-bit IP address space. Class D  
is reserved for multicast addressing. " IP address classifications" (page  
13)lists the breakdown of the IP address space by address range and mask.

Note: Class D addresses are primarily reserved for multicast operations although

by RIP.  
240.0.0.0 -  
E
240.255.255.255  
Note: Class E addresses are reserved for research purposes.  
To express an IP address in dotted-decimal notation, each octet of the  
IP address is converted to a decimal number and separated by decimal  
points. For example, the 32-bit IP address 10000000 00100000 00001010  
10100111 is expressed in dotted-decimal notation as 128.32.10.167.  
Each IP address class, when expressed in binary notation, has a different  
boundary point between the network and host portions of the address, as  
14). The network portion is a network number field from 8 through 24 bits.  
The remaining 8 through 24 bits identify a specific host on the network.  
Network and host boundaries in IP address classes  
Subnet addressing  
Subnetworks (or subnets) are an extension of the IP addressing scheme.  
Subnets allow an organization to use one IP address range for multiple  
networks. Subnets are two or more physical networks that share a common  
network-identification field (the network portion of the 32-bit IP address).

IP routing 15  
A subnet address is created by increasing the network portion to include  
a subnet address, thus decreasing the host portion of the IP address. For  
example, in the address 128.32.10.0, the network portion is 128.32, while  
the subnet is found in the first octet of the host portion (10). A subnet mask  
is applied to the IP address and identifies the network and host portions  
of the address.  
how subnet masks used with Class B and Class C addresses can create  
differing numbers of subnets and hosts. This example shows the use of the  
zero subnet, which is permitted on a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5510.

16 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) is the ability to divide an intranet  
into pieces that match network requirements. Routing is based on the  
longest subnet mask or network that matches.  
IP routing using VLANs  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports wire-speed IP  
routing between virtual LANs (VLAN). This type of routing is also referred to  
as virtual routing. When a virtual router interface is created for a specified  
VLAN, a specific IP address is associated with the specific VLAN. In this  
release, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports static  
routing, in which the identifiers of the devices being routed between are  
entered manually.  
This virtual router interface does not have an association with any specified  
port or set of ports (it is called a virtual router interface because it is not  
associated with any particular port). The VLAN IP address can be reached  
through any of the ports in the VLAN specified as a virtual router interface,  
and the assigned IP address is the gateway through which packets are  
routed out of that VLAN. Routed traffic can be forwarded to another VLAN  
within the switch or stack of Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series.  
Once routing is enabled on two VLANs by assigning IP addresses, routing  
can be performed between those two VLANs (refer to "IP routing with  
IP routing with VLANs  
IP routing is enabled or disabled globally on the Nortel Ethernet Routing  
Switch 5500 Series. By default, IP routing is disabled.  
Note: All IP routing parameters can be configured on the Nortel  
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series before routing is actually enabled  
on the switch.  
There is no longer a one-to-one correspondence between the physical  
port and the router interface, because a given port can belong to multiple  
VLANs. The VLANs may be configured for routing on the switch.

IP routing 17  
As with any IP address, virtual router interface addresses are also used for  
device management. For management over IP, any virtual router interface  
IP address can be used to access the switch as long as routing is enabled.  
When the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series switch or stack is  
used without routing enabled, the Management VLAN is reachable only  
through the switch or stack IP address. With IP routing enabled on the  
switch or stack, any of the virtual router IP interfaces can be used for  
management over IP.  
Once routing is enabled on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series  
switches, the Management VLAN behaves like all other routable VLANs.  
The IP address is reachable through any virtual router interface, as long as  
a route is available. Actually, all virtual router interfaces can be used as the  
Management VLAN over IP.  
Multinetting  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the definition  
and configuration of up to eight secondary interfaces on each VLAN  
(multinetting). With IP multinetting, you can associate multiple IP subnets  
with one VLAN. That is, connected hosts can belong to different IP subnets  
on the same VLAN.  
Multinetting can be configured using the CLI or the Device Manager.  
The following diagram illustrates a network with configured IP multinetting.

18 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Network with Multinetting  
You can configure a static route with the next hop on the secondary  
interface. You can also add static ARP for a given IP address in the same  
subnet of a secondary interface.  
Here are some limitations when you are working with secondary interfaces:  
you can have a maximum of eight secondary interfaces on each VLAN  
you can have a total maximum of 256 IP interfaces (including primary  
and secondary)  
all of the secondary interfaces on a VLAN are enabled or disabled  
together. There is no provision for configuring the administrative state of  
the secondary IP interfaces individually.  
dynamic routing is not available for secondary IP interfaces  
secondary interfaces are not supported on brouters  
a primary IP interface must be in place before secondary IP interfaces  
can be added; secondary interfaces must be deleted before you can  
delete the primary

IP routing 19  
If secondary interfaces are configured on the management VLAN, routing  
cannot be disabled globally or on the management VLAN. Secondary IP  
interfaces on the management VLAN are purged from NVRAM when  
a unit leaves the stack and the switch does not have a manually  
configured IP  
the switch fails to get the IP address through the BootP mode  
The following are not supported on secondary interfaces:  
DHCRP  
Proxy ARP  
UDP broadcast  
IPFIX  
VRRP, OSPF, RIP  
For information about configuring secondary interfaces on VLANs, see "IP  
Brouter port  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the concept  
of brouter ports. A brouter port is a single-port VLAN that can route IP  
packets as well as bridge all non-routable traffic. The difference between  
a brouter port and a standard IP protocol-based VLAN configured to do  
routing is that the routing interface of the brouter port is not subject to  
the spanning tree state of the port. A brouter port can be in the blocking  
state for non-routable traffic and still be able to route IP traffic. This feature  
removes any interruptions caused by Spanning Tree Protocol recalculations  
in routed traffic. A brouter port is actually a one-port VLAN; therefore, each  
brouter port decreases the number of available VLANs by one and uses  
one VLAN ID.  
When a brouter port is created, the following actions are also taking place  
on the switch:  
A port-based VLAN is created.  
The brouter port is added to the new port-based VLAN.  
The PVID of the brouter port is changed to the VLAN ID of the new  
VLAN.  
The STP participation of the brouter port is disabled.  
An IP address is assigned to the brouter VLAN.

20 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Management VLAN  
Prior to Software Release 4.0, the Management VLAN was the only VLAN  
that was used to carry the management traffic, including Telnet, Web,  
SNMP, BootP and TFTP for the switch. The Management VLAN always  
exists on the switch and cannot be removed. All IP settings, including switch  
IP address, stack IP address, subnet mask and default gateway, apply only  
to the Management VLAN.  
In this release of Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series, a regular  
Layer 2 (L2) VLAN behaves like a routable L3 VLAN if a pair of IP addresses  
and a MAC address are attached to the VLAN. When routing is enabled in  
L3 mode, every L3 VLAN is capable of doing routing as well as carrying the  
management traffic. Any L3 VLAN can be used instead of the Management  
VLAN to manage the switch.  
Layer 2 versus Layer 3 mode  
When the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series is configured to route  
IP traffic between different VLANs, the switch is considered to be running in  
L3 mode; otherwise, the switch runs in L2 mode.  
The L3 manager determines in which mode a switch or a stack should be  
run. The mode is determined based on the user settings and events. But  
the general rule is to select:  
L3 mode: if routing is turned on globally for the switch or stack.  
L2 mode: if routing is turned off globally for the switch or stack.  
Routing and management  
In L3 mode, the Management VLAN, as well as all other L3 VLANs, has the  
capability to route and carry the management traffic. In this release of the  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series, the settings apply to all L3  
VLANs or only to the Management VLAN. "VLAN settings" (page 20)shows  
all possible settings and default settings for each type of VLAN.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)  
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)  
Network stations using the IP protocol need both a physical address and an  
IP address to transmit a packet. If a network station knows only a network  
host’s IP address, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables the  
network station to determine a network host’s physical address and bind  
the 32-bit IP address to a 48-bit MAC address. A network station can use  
ARP across a single network only, and the network hardware must support  
physical broadcasts.  
If a network station wants to send a packet to a host but knows only the  
host’s IP address, the network station uses ARP to determine the host’s  
physical address as follows:  
1. The network station broadcasts a special packet, called an ARP request,  
that asks the host at the specified IP address to respond with its physical  
address.  
2. All network hosts receive the broadcast message.  
3. Only the specified host responds with its hardware address.  
4. The network station then maps the host’s IP address to its physical  
address and saves the results in an address resolution table for future  
use.  
5. The network station’s ARP table displays the association of the known  
MAC addresses to IP addresses.  
Note: The default timeout value for ARP entries is 6 hours.  
Static ARP entries can be created and individual ARP entries deleted.

22 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (Proxy ARP)  
Proxy ARP allows a network station to respond to an ARP request from a  
locally attached host or end station for a remote destination. It does so by  
sending an ARP response back to the local host with its own MAC address  
of the network station interface for the subnet on which the ARP request  
was received. The reply is generated only if the switch has an active route  
to the destination network.  
The figure below is an example of proxy ARP operation. In this example,  
host C with a 24-bit mask appears to be locally attached to host B with a  
16-bit mask, so host B sends an ARP request for host C. However, the 5500  
Series switch is between the two hosts. To enable communication between  
the two hosts, the 5500 Series switch would respond to the ARP request  
with host C’s IP address but with its own MAC address.  
Proxy ARP Operation  
Static routes  
Once routable VLANs are created though IP address assignment, static  
routes can be created. Static routes allow for the manual creation of specific  
routes to a destination IP address. Static routes can also be used to specify  
a route to all networks for which there are no explicit routes in the Forwarding  
Information Base or the routing table. This static default route is a route to  
the network address 0.0.0.0 as defined by the IEEE RFC 1812 standard.  
Because of their static nature, this type of solution is not scalable. Thus,  
in a large or growing network this type of route management may not be  
desirable. Also, static routes do not have the capacity to determine the  
failure of paths. Thus, a router can still attempt to use a path after it has  
failed.

IP routing 23  
Non-local static routes  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the usage of  
non-local static routes. A non-local static route is almost identical to a  
static route with the exception that the next hop of the route is not directly  
connected to the network entity. Non-local static routes are useful in  
situations where there are multiple paths to a network and the number  
of static routes could be reduced by using only one route with a remote  
gateway.  
Because of their static nature, this type of solution is not scalable. Thus,  
in a large or growing network this type of route management may not  
be desirable. Also, non-local static routes do not have the capacity to  
determine the failure of paths. Thus, a router can still attempt to use a path  
after it has failed.  
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)  
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a standard, dynamic routing protocol  
based on the Bellman-Ford (or distance vector) algorithm. It is used as an  
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). RIP allows routers to exchange information  
to compute routes through an IPv4-based network. The hop count, or  
distance, is used as a metric to determine the best path to a remote network  
or host. The hop count cannot exceed 15 hops (assuming a cost of one  
hop for each network).  
RIP is defined in RFC 1058 for RIP version 1 and RFC 2453 for RIP version  
2. The most significant difference between the two versions is that RIP  
version 2 supports subnet masks and next hop information in the RIP  
packet.  
RIP operation  
RIP uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange  
routing information. Each router maintains a routing table, which lists the  
optimal route to every destination in the system. Each router advertises  
its routing information by sending a routing information update at regular  
intervals. Neighboring routers use this information to recalculate their  
routing tables and retransmit the routing information. For RIP version 1,  
no mask information is exchanged; the natural mask is always applied by  
the router receiving the update. For RIP version 2, mask information is  
always included.  
The sequence of processes governed by the routing algorithm is as follows:  
1. When a router starts, it initializes the RIP data structures and then waits  
for indications from lower-level protocols that its interfaces are functional.  
2. RIP advertisements are send on all the interfaces that are configured to  
send routing information.

24 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
3. The neighbors will send their routing tables and the new router will  
update its routing table based on the advertisements received.  
4. From now on periodic updates are send by each router in the network to  
ensure a correct routing database.  
If a router does not receive an update from another router within a timeout  
period, it deletes the routes served by the nonupdating router from its  
routing table. However, it keeps these routes temporarily in a garbage list  
and continues to advertise them with a metric of 16 for a holddown period,  
so that neighbors know that the routes are unreachable. If a valid update  
for a garbage route is received within the holddown period, the router adds  
the route back into its routing table. If no update is received, the router  
completely deletes all garbage list entries for the nonupdating router.  
To prevent routing loops and to promote fast convergence, RIP uses  
the mechanisms of split horizon, with or without poisoned reverse, and  
triggered updates. Simple split horizon means that IP routes learned from a  
neighbor are not advertised back in updates to that neighbor. Split horizon  
with poisoned reverse means that these routes are advertised back to the  
neighbor, but they are “poisoned” with a metric of 16, which represents  
infinite hops in the network. The receiver neighbor therefore ignores this  
route. Triggered updates means that a router is required to send update  
messages whenever it changes the metric for a route, even if it is not yet  
time for a regular update message.  
RIP sends routing information updates every 30 seconds. These updates  
contain information about known networks and the distances (hop count)  
associated with each. For RIP version 1, no mask information is exchanged;  
the natural mask is always applied by the router receiving the update. Mask  
information is always included for RIP version 2.  
If information about a network is not received for within the allotted timeout  
period (180 seconds by default), it is removed from the routing table and the  
route is moved to the garbage list . From the garbage list it will be advertised  
for the allotted holdown period (120 seconds by default) with metric set to  
infinity (16). These timers can be changed by configuring the RIP Interface  
Timeout Timer and Holddown Timer parameters.  
RIP supports the following standard behavior:  
periodic RIP updates about effective best routes  
garbage collection  
split horizon with or without poisoned reverse  
triggered update for changed RIP routes  
unicast to the specific query requestor  
broadcast/multicast of regular and triggered updates

RIP metrics  
RIP is known as a distance vector protocol. The vector is the network  
number and next hop, and the distance is the cost associated with the  
network number. RIP identifies network reachability based on cost, and  
cost is defined as hop count. The distance from one router to the next is  
considered to be one hop. This cost or hop count is known as the metric The  
illustration below depicts the hop counts between various units in a network.  
RIP hop counts  
A directly connected network has a metric of zero. An unreachable network  
has a metric of 16. Therefore, 15 hops or 15 routers is the highest possible  
metric between any two networks.

Limitations  
RIP has the following limitations:  
The protocol is limited to networks whose longest path is 15 hops.  
The protocol depends on counting to infinity to resolve certain unusual  
situations.  
The protocol uses fixed metrics (the hop number) to compare alternative  
routes, as opposed to real-time parameters such as measured delay,  
reliability, or load.  
RIP does not support address-less links.  
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol  
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol is an Interior Gateway  
Protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between routers belonging  
to a single autonomous system (AS). Intended for use in large networks,  
OSPF is a link-state protocol which supports IP subnetting and the tagging  
of externally-derived routing information.  
Note: The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series implementation  
of OSPF only supports broadcast and passive interfaces. Point-to-point  
and NBMA interfaces are not supported.  
Overview  
In an OSPF network, each router maintains a link-state database that  
describes the topology of the autonomous system (AS). The database  
contains the local state for each router in the AS, including the router’s  
usable interfaces and reachable neighbors.  
Each router periodically checks for changes in its local state and shares any  
changes detected by flooding link-state advertisements (LSAs) throughout  
the AS. Routers synchronize their topological databases based on the  
sharing of information from LSAs.  
From the topological database, each router constructs a shortest-path tree,  
with itself as the root. The shortest-path tree gives the optimal route to each  
destination in the AS. Routing information from outside the AS appears on  
the tree as leaves.  
OSPF routes IP traffic based solely on the destination IP address and  
subnet mask contained in the IP packet header.

28 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Benefits  
Benefits in large networks OSPF offers the following benefits:  
Fast convergence  
In the event of topological changes, OSPF recalculates routes quickly.  
Minimal routing protocol traffic  
Unlike distance vector routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF generates a  
minimum of routing protocol traffic.  
Load sharing  
OSPF provides support for equal-cost multipath routing. If several  
equal-cost routes to a destination exist, traffic is distributed equally  
among them.  
Because OSPF does not use hop count in its calculation, the routing  
domain is scalable.  
OSPF routing algorithm  
A separate copy of the OSPF routing algorithm runs in each area. Routers  
which are connected to multiple areas run multiple copies of the algorithm.  
The sequence of processes governed by the routing algorithm is as follows:  
1. When a router starts, it initializes the OSPF data structures and then  
waits for indications from lower-level protocols that its interfaces are  
functional.  
2. A router then uses the Hello Protocol to discover neighbors. On  
point-to-point and broadcast networks the router dynamically detects  
its neighbors by sending hello packets to the multicast address  
AllSPFRouters. On non-broadcast multiaccess networks, some  
configuration information is required in order to discover neighbors.  
3. On all multiaccess networks (broadcast or non-broadcast), the Hello  
Protocol also elects a DR for the network.  
4. The router attempts to form adjacencies with some of its neighbors.  
On multiaccess networks, the DR determines which routers become  
adjacent. This behavior does not occur if a router is configured as a  
passive interface, because passive interfaces do not form adjacencies.  
5. Adjacent neighbors synchronize their topological databases.  
6. The router periodically advertises its link-state, and also does so when  
its local state changes. LSAs include information about adjacencies  
enabling quick detection of dead routers on the network.  
7. LSAs are flooded throughout the area, ensuring that all routers in an  
area have exactly the same topological database.

8. From this database each router calculates a shortest-path tree, with  
itself as root. This shortest-path tree in turn yields a routing table for  
the protocol.  
OSPF router types  
Routers in an OSPF network can take on different roles depending their  
configuration. The following table describes the router types in an OSPF  
network.  
OSPF router types  
Router Type  
Description  
Autonomous System A router attached at the edge of an OSPF network  
Boundary Router  
(ASBR)  
is called an AS boundary router (ASBR). An ASBR  
generally has one or more interfaces that run an  
inter-domain routing protocol. In addition, any router  
distributing static routes or RIP routes into OSPF is  
considered an ASBR. The ASBR forwards external  
routes into the OSPF domain. In this way, routers inside  
the OSPF network learn about destinations outside their  
domain.  
Area Border Router  
(ABR)  
A router attached to two or more areas inside an OSPF  
network is considered an area border router (ABR). ABRs  
play an important role in OSPF networks by condensing  
the amount of OSPF information that is disseminated.  
Internal Router (IR)  
A router that has interfaces only within a single area  
inside an OSPF network is considered an internal router  
(IR). Unlike ABRs, IRs have topological information only  
about the area in which they are contained.  
Designated Router  
(DR)  
In a broadcast network a single router is elected to  
be the designated router (DR) for that network. A DR  
assumes the responsibility of making sure all routers on  
the network are synchronized with one another and also  
advertises that network to the rest of the AS.  
Backup Designated  
Router (BDR)  
A backup designated router (BDR) is elected in addition  
to the designated router (DR) and, in the event of failure  
of the DR, will assume its role quickly.  
OSPF host route  
An OSPF router with hosts directly attached to its interfaces can use host  
routes to advertise the attached hosts to its neighbors. You can configure  
up to 32 host routes.

30 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Host routes are managed with Nortel Networks Command Line Interface  
(NNCLI) commands and SNMP MIBs and are identified by the host IP  
address and the configured route type of service (TOS). For each host  
directly connected to the router, configure the cost of the link to the host  
during host creation. You cannot modify this cost.  
Note: Always set TOS to 0 because TOS-based routing is not  
supported.  
When a host is added to, or deleted from, a host route, the router updates  
the router LSAs and floods them to neighbors in each area where that  
router has an interface.  
Following is an example of parameters for a host route advertised in the LSA.  
Host route in LSA  
Type: 3 (stub network)  
LinkID: IP address of host directly connected to router  
Link Data: 0xFFFFFFFF  
Metric: configured cost of host  
OSPF Enhancements  
Host route - Allows a router to advertise to its neighbors all hosts that  
are directly attached to that router’s interfaces. Up to 32 host routes  
can be configured.  
Virtual links - The OSPF network can be partitioned into multiple  
areas. However, a backbone area must exist and be contiguous, and  
every non-backbone area must be connected to the backbone area  
using either a physical or a logical link. In a network where a physical  
connection between the non-backbone area and backbone area is  
impossible, use of a virtual link provides the logical connection through  
another non-backbone area, called the transit area. Virtual links can be  
created manually or automatically. The 5500 Series switch supports  
up to 16 virtual links.  
When 5500 Series switches are stacked, and a unit leaves the stack and  
becomes standalone, the router ID is automatically changed to its default  
value if IP blocking is turned off and OSPF is globally enabled. This  
prevents duplication of a router ID in the OSPF routing domain. The new  
router ID value is temporary, that is, it is not saved to NVRAM. Therefore,  
upon reset, the old router ID is restored. Configurable using NNCLI, ACG,  
and Device Manager.  
Example configurations The following is an example for creating a host  
route:

OSPF virtual link  
On an OSPF network, a router acting as an area boundary router (ABR)  
must be directly connected to the backbone. If no physical connection is  
available, you can create a virtual link.  
A virtual link is established between two endpoint ABRs and is a logical  
connection to the backbone area through a non-backbone area called a  
transit area. In the following diagram, non-backbone ABR 2 establishes a  
virtual link with backbone ABR1 across transition area, area 1. The virtual  
link connects area 2 to area 0.

32 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Virtual link diagram  
Note: Stub or NSSA areas cannot be transit areas.  
A virtual link can be created manually or automatically.  
Manual virtual link creation can conserve resources and provide specific  
control of virtual link placement in the OSPF configuration.  
To add a virtual link manually, configure both endpoint ABRs with a neighbor  
router ID and transit area ID. You can configure up to 16 virtual links.  
Note: You can modify parameters for manually added virtual links.  
To accept automatic virtual link creation, enable automatic virtual link on  
both endpoint ABRs (the default value is disabled). Automatic virtual links  
are removed when the transit area is deleted, auto virtual link is disabled,  
or the router is no longer an ABR.  
Note: Auto-created virtual links use default settings that cannot be  
modified.

In this case, R4 in Area2 cannot be physically connected to Area0 (for some  
reason) and it will be connected to R3 which is NOT a backbone ABR (like  
R1 is for instance). As Area2 is not directly connected to backbone Area0 or  
directly connected to a backbone ABR router, clients from Area2 will not be  
able to access anything outside Area2. Also, router R3 is an ABR router  
connected to two non-backbone areas.  
In order to solve these problems, virtual-link must be configured between  
router R3 and R1 which are both ABRs. Virtual-link cannot be configured  
on non-ABR routers.  
Consider the following Router IDs:  
R1 : 1.0.0.0  
R3 : 3.0.1.0

Route policies  
Route policies are a Nortel proprietary improvement on existing routing  
schemes. Using existing routing schemes, packets are forwarded based  
on routes that have been learned by the router through routing protocols  
such as RIP and OSPF or through the introduction of static routes. Route  
policies introduce the ability to forward packets based on rule sets created  
by the network administrator. These rule sets, or policies, are then applied  
to the learned or static routes.  
Route policies on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports  
the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First  
(OSPF) protocol. When used in conjunction with these protocols, route  
policies can be used to perform the following tasks that are not possible  
using traditional routing methods:  
Listen for routing updates from specific gateways.  
Listen for routing updates from specific networks.  
Assign a specific subnet mask to be included with a network in the  
routing table.  
Advertise routing updates from specific gateways.  
Advertise routing updates to specific networks.  
Assign a specific subnet mask to be included in the route summary  
packets.  
Advertise routes learned by one protocol to another.

36 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Route policies supports the following types of policies:  
Accept (In) Policies  
Accept polices are applied to incoming routing updates before they are  
applied to the routing table. In the case of RIP, accept policies can be  
applied to all incoming packets and only one policy can be created  
for each RIP interface. In the case of OSPF, accept policies are only  
applied to Type 5 External routes based on the advertising router ID.  
There can only be one OSPF accept policy per switch and the policy  
is applied before updates are added to the routing table from the link  
state database.  
Announce (Out) Policies  
Announce policies are applied to outgoing routing updates before  
the routing update packets are actually transmitted from the switch.  
In the case of RIP, announce policies can be applied to all outgoing  
packets and only one policy can be created for each RIP interface.  
Announce policies are not supported for OSPF as OSPF requires  
routing information to be consistent throughout the OSPF domain.  
Redistribution Policies  
Redistribution policies are used to provide notification of addition or  
deletion of a route in the routing table by one protocol to another  
protocol. OSPF redistribution policies send redistributed routes as Type  
5 External routes. There can be only one OSPF redistribution route per  
switch and it must be configured as a ASBR with redistribution enabled.  
Route policies consist of the following items:  
Prefix Lists  
— List of IP addresses with subnet masks.  
— Identified by a prefix list name and unique identifier.  
— Prefix lists support the comparison of ranges of incoming masks.  
Route Maps  
— Contain a set of match and set parameters.  
— Match and set parameters can contain several prefix lists.  
— A set of match and set parameters are identified by a sequence  
number.  
— Accept and deny actions are associated with each sequenced  
parameter set.  
— Sequence numbers act as a preference setting. Sets with a lower  
sequence number are preferred over those with a higher sequence  
number.

IP routing 37  
To configure routing policies, create the appropriate prefix lists and then  
assign those prefix lists to route maps. Once all route maps have been  
created, assign them to the appropriate type of policy.  
In a stacked environment, the following rules are applied to routing policies:  
The policy database is stored in all stack units.  
Policy configuration is supported from only the base unit. The base  
unit sends updates to non-base units to update the policy database in  
each stack unit.  
During database updates, only the database in the base unit is  
synchronized with the non-base unit. The database in the non-base  
units are deleted during the exchange.  
Only the policies stored in the base unit are used by RIP and OSPF  
for policy application.  
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)  
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate  
the single point of failure that can occur when the single static default  
gateway router for an end station is lost. VRRP introduces the concept of  
a virtual IP address (transparent to users) shared between two or more  
routers connecting a common subnet to the enterprise network. With the  
virtual IP address as the default gateway on end hosts, VRRP provides  
dynamic default gateway redundancy in the event of failure.  
VRRP uses the following terms:  
VRRP router - a router running the VRRP protocol.  
Virtual router - the abstract object managed by VRRP that is assigned  
the virtual IP address and that acts as the default router for a set of IP  
addresses across a common network. Each virtual router is assigned a  
virtual router ID.  
Virtual router master - the VRRP router that assumes responsibility  
for forwarding packets sent to the IP address associated with the virtual  
router. The master router also responds to packets sent to the virtual  
router IP address and answers ARP requests for this IP address.  
Virtual router backup - the router or routers that can serve as the  
failover router if the master router becomes unavailable. If the master  
router fails, an election process provides a dynamic transition of  
forwarding responsibility to a new master router.  
Priority - an 8-bit value assigned to all VRRP routers. A higher value  
represents a higher priority for election to the master router. The priority  
can be a value from 1 to 255. When a master router fails, an election  
process takes place among the backup routers to dynamically reassign  
the role of the master router.

38 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP)  
The Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) feature allows routers to determine equal  
cost paths to the same destination prefix. The multiple paths can be used  
for load sharing of traffic and allows faster convergence to other active paths  
in case of network failure. By maximizing load sharing among equal-cost  
paths, links between routers can be used more efficiently when sending  
IP traffic. The ECMP feature supports and complements the following  
protocols types:  
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)  
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)  
Static Routes  
ECMP is only supported on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5520 and  
5530. ECMP will work in a mixed stack but will not run on any Nortel  
Ethernet Routing Switch 5510 units in the stack.  
UDP broadcast forwarding  
Some network applications, such as the NetBIOS name service, rely  
on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to request a service or  
locate a application. If a host is on a network, subnet segment, or VLAN  
that includes a server for the service, UDP broadcasts are by default not  
forwarded to the server located on a different network segment or VLAN.  
This is resolved by forwarding the broadcasts to the server through physical  
or virtual interfaces.  
UDP broadcast forwarding is a general mechanism for selectively forwarding  
limited UDP broadcasts received on an IP interface to a configured IP  
address. The packet is sent as a unicast packet to the server.  
The following are the basic steps for UDP broadcast forwarding  
configuration:  
1. Enter the UDP protocols to be forwarded.  
2. Create forwarding policies by defining UDP protocol and server pairs.  
3. Assemble these policies into lists.  
4. Apply these lists to the appropriate interfaces.  
When a UDP broadcast is received on a router interface, it must meet the  
following criteria if it is to be considered for forwarding:  
It must be a MAC-level broadcast.  
It must be an IP-limited broadcast.  
It must be for a configured UDP protocol.  
It must have a TTL value of at least 2.

IP routing 39  
For each ingress interface and protocol, the UDP broadcast packets are  
forwarded only to a unicast host address (the unicast IP address of the  
server for example).  
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) / Bootstrap Protocol  
(BootP)  
DHCP-BootP relay  
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an extension of the  
Bootstrap protocol (BootP) and provides host configuration information to  
workstations on a dynamic basis. To lower administrative overhead, network  
managers prefer to configure a small number of DHCP servers in a central  
location. It is necessary for routers to support the BootP/DHCP relay  
function so that hosts can access configuration information from servers  
several router hops away.  
Differences between DHCP and BootP  
The following differences between DHCP and BootP are specified in RFC  
2131 and include functions that BootP does not address:  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the Bootstrap  
protocol (BootP). BootP enables the retrieval of an ASCII configuration  
file name and configuration server address.  
A properly configured BootP server enables the switch to automatically  
learn its assigned IP address, subnet mask and the IP address of the  
default router (default gateway).  
DHCP defines mechanisms through which clients can be assigned a  
network address for a finite lease (allowing for reuse of IP addresses).  
DHCP provides the mechanism for clients to acquire all of the IP  
configuration parameters needed to operate.  
DHCP uses the BootP message format defined in RFC 951. The remainder  
of the options field consists of a list of tagged parameters that are called  
"options" (RFC 2131).  
Summary of DHCP relay operation  
BootP/DHCP clients (workstations) generally use UDP/IP broadcasts to  
determine their IP addresses and configuration information. If such a host  
is on a network or a subnet segment (or VLAN) that does not include a  
DHCP server, the UDP broadcasts are by default not forwarded to the  
server located on a different network segment or VLAN. The Nortel Ethernet  
Routing Switch 5500 Series can be configured to resolve this issue by  
forwarding the broadcasts to the server. The router interfaces can be  
configured to forward DHCP broadcasts to other locally connected network  
segments or directly to the server’s IP address. DHCP must be enabled  
on a per-VLAN basis.

40 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
"DHCP operation" (page 40)Figure DHCP operation shows an end station  
connected to subnet 1, corresponding to VLAN 1. The Nortel Ethernet  
Routing Switch 5500 Series connects two subnets by means of the virtual  
routing function. When the end station generates a DHCP request as a  
limited UDP broadcast to the IP address of all 1s (that is, 255.255.255.255)  
with the DHCP relay function configured, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series forwards DHCP requests to subnet 2 or to the host address of  
the DHCP server, depending on the configuration.  
DHCP operation  
Forwarding DHCP packets  
In the example shown in "Forwarding DHCP packets" (page 40), the agent  
address is 10.10.1.254. To configure the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series to forward DHCP packets from the end station to the server,  
use 10.10.2.1 as the server address.  
Forwarding DHCP packets  
All BootP broadcast packets, including DHCP packets that appear on the  
VLAN 1 router interface (10.10.1.254), will be forwarded to the DHCP  
server. In this case, the DHCP packets are forwarded as unicast to the  
DHCP server’s IP address.  
Multiple BootP-DHCP servers  
Most enterprise networks use multiple BootP/DHCP servers for fault  
tolerance. The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series allows switch  
configuration to forward BootP/DHCP requests to multiple servers. Up to 10  
servers can be configured to receive copies of the forwarded BootP/DHCP  
messages.

IP routing 41  
If a DHCP client is connected to a routable interface, to configure DHCP  
requests to be sent to up to 512 different routable interfaces or 512 different  
server IP addresses, enable DHCP on the client (agent address) and then  
enable DHCP from the client to each of the interfaces or IP addresses  
(server addresses).  
In the example shown in "Multiple BootP/DHCP servers" (page 41), two  
DHCP servers are located on two different subnets. To configure the  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series to forward the copies of the  
BootP/DHCP packets from the end station to both servers, specify the switch  
(10.10.1.254) as the agent address. Then enable DHCP to each of the  
DHCP servers by entering 10.10.2.1 and 10.10.3.1 as the server addresses.

42 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
Any of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series switch management  
systems can be used to set DHCP.  
DHCP relay  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a mechanism to assign  
network IP addresses to clients who request an address. It is built on top  
of the existing BOOTP protocol and can be specified for DHCP, BOOTP,  
or both.  
The DHCP relay feature relays client requests to DHCP servers on different  
L3 VLANs. It also relays server replies back to the clients.  
DHCP relay can be configured through Command Line Interface or Java  
Device Manager. DHCP can only be configured on the base unit from  
CLI, like all L3 commands. There are three parts in the DHCP relay  
configurations. They are:  
global DHCP enable/disable  
interface configurations  
forward path configurations  
To relay DHCP messages, two VLANs must be created and IP addresses  
assigned to them. The client and server must reside on different L3 VLANS  
to use DHCP relay. IP routing and global DHCP relay must be enabled  
on both the client as well as server.  
Note: The DHCP Relay feature shares resources with QoS. If the  
DHCP Relay feature is enabled, a QoS policy with a precedence of 11  
cannot be installed.  
For further information on QoS policies refer to Nortel Ethernet Routing  
Switch 5500 Series Configuration - Quality of Service (Part Number  
NN47200-504).  
Global DHCP relay configuration This configuration enables or disables  
DHCP relay for the entire unit or stack. Once DHCP relay is disabled, the  
switch/stack will not relay DHCP/BOOTP " Global DHCP relay commands"  
(page 42)across L3 VLANs. However, the settings will still be configurable.

44 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
DHCP relay uses a hardware resource that is shared by switch Quality of  
Service applications. When DHCP relay is enabled globally, the Quality  
of Service filter manager will not be able to use precedence 11 for  
configurations. For the filter manager to be able to use this resource, DHCP  
relay must be disabled for the entire unit or stack.  
Avoiding duplicate IP addresses  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series has built-in safeguards to  
avoid issuing duplicate IP addresses, because the switch functions as a  
stack as well as a stand-alone system. These safeguards apply to stack  
configuration changes (for example, when a stack is forming or after a unit  
is removed from a stack).  
The system allows the use of an existing IP address under the following  
conditions:  
When a unit leaves a stack:  
— If the unit was the acting Base Unit (BU) of the stack and the stack  
consisted of only two units.  
— If the IP blocking mode in the stack was set to none.  
When a unit boots up:  
— If the unit was never in a stack.  
— If IP blocking was manually turned off prior to the current boot.  
— If the unit was the designated Base Unit (BU); that is, selected by  
hardware switch on the unit, either on the back or on the UI button  
on the front; and the stack consisted of only two units.  
— If the IP blocking mode was set to none.  
If the desired switch IP address is blocked by the system, then the address  
must be configured manually in the command line interface.  
Automatic router ID change  
If a unit leaves the stack and becomes standalone (when the stack disjoins),  
the router ID is automatically changed to its default value. This prevents  
router ID duplication in the OSPF routing domain.  
Prerequisites: IP blocking must be turned off (set to none) and OSPF  
must be globally enabled.  
TIP: The change in router ID is temporary (not saved in non-volatile random  
access memory) and, upon reset, the router ID is restored.

IP routing 45  
IP blocking  
IP Blocking is a Layer 3 feature of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series that provides built-in safeguards for the usage of duplicate IP  
addresses in a stacked environment. IP Blocking is used whenever a unit  
leaves a stack or is rebooting inside the context of a stack. Depending on  
the setting in use, Layer 3 functionality is either continued or blocked by  
this feature.  
IP Blocking can exist in either a none or full condition. When IP Blocking  
is set to none, duplicate IP addresses are permitted in the stack  
unconditionally. When the full condition is set, duplicate IP addresses are  
blocked in the stack unconditionally.  
In a stack environment, Nortel recommends that IP blocking mode none be  
used in a stack of 2 units. In such a stack environment and IP blocking  
mode combination, the following functional characteristics can be expected:  
If the stack base unit becomes non-operational the following will occur:  
— Layer 3 functionality will continue to run on the non-base unit.  
— Dynamic routing protocols still run on the non-base unit.  
If the stack non-base unit becomes non-operational the following will  
occur:  
— Layer 3 functionality will continue to run on the base unit.  
— Dynamic routing protocols run on the base unit.  
A disadvantage of this configuration is that if the non-operational unit does  
not rejoin the stack, address duplication will occur.  
In stack environments of more than 2 units, Nortel recommends using IP  
blocking mode full. In such a stack environment and IP blocking mode  
combination, the following functional characteristics can be expected:  
If the stack base unit becomes non-operational the following will occur:  
— The temporary base unit takes over base unit duties.  
— The temporary base unit runs the Layer 3 and DRP functionality.  
— The takeover of the temporary base unit will cause the MAC  
addresses of the Layer 3 interfaces to change and the MAC  
addresses from the temporary base unit MAC address pool are  
used. This may cause a minor disruption in routing traffic. To  
facilitate quick failover in this instance, gratuitous ARP messages are  
sent out for each interface for 5 minutes at 15 second intervals.  
If a stack non-base unit becomes non-operational the following will  
occur:

46 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
— The stack will continue to run normally with the base unit controlling  
Layer 3 and DRP functionality.  
— If the non-operational non-base unit does not rejoin the stack, no  
Layer 3 or DRP functionality will run on it.  
IGMP snooping  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series can sense Internet Group  
Management Protocol (IGMP) host membership reports from attached  
stations and use this information to set up a dedicated path between the  
requesting station and a local IP Multicast router. After the pathway is  
established, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series switch blocks  
the IP Multicast stream from exiting any other port that does not connect to  
another host member, thus conserving bandwidth. The following section  
describes how Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series switches provide  
the same benefit as IP Multicast routers, but in the local area.  
IGMP is used by IP Multicast routers to learn about the existence of host  
group members on their directly attached subnets (see RFC 2236). The IP  
Multicast routers get this information by broadcasting IGMP queries and  
listening for IP hosts reporting their host group memberships. This process  
is used to set up a client/server relationship between an IP Multicast source  
that provides the data streams and the clients that want to receive the data.  
By default, unknown multicast traffic is flooded to all ports in a VLAN. In  
situations in which there is a multicast transmitter that is not doing IGMP  
and there are no multicast receivers, the traffic transmitted by the transmitter  
is flooded.  
The CLI commands for IGMP allow the sending of all unknown multicast  
traffic to IGMP static router ports only. This traffic will not be forwarded to  
dynamically discovered m-router ports. If it is desirable to forward unknown  
unicast traffic to certain ports only, those ports can be set as static m-router  
ports.  
When disabled, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series switch  
treats unknown multicast traffic as it does broadcast traffic (flood). This  
is the default behavior.  
User settings for the Unknown Multicast No Flood feature is stored in  
NVRAM. In a stack, if settings on different units differ, the Base Unit  
setting will take precedence. This feature can be enabled or disabled  
at any time.  
Nortel Networks recommends this feature be enabled when IGMP  
snooping is enabled.

example, the IGMP host provides an IP Multicast stream to designated  
routers that forward the IP Multicast stream on their local network only  
if there is a recipient.  
The client/server path is set up as follows:  
1. The designated router sends out a host membership query to the subnet  
and receives host membership reports from end stations on the subnet.  
2. The designated routers then set up a path between the IP Multicast  
stream source and the end stations.  
3. Periodically, the router continues to query end stations about whether  
to continue participation.  
4. As long as any client continues to participate, all clients, including  
non-participating end stations on that subnet, receive the IP Multicast  
stream.  
Note: Although the non-participating end stations can filter the IP  
Multicast traffic, the IP Multicast traffic still exists on the subnet and  
consumes bandwidth.  
IP Multicast can be optimized in a LAN by using IP Multicast filtering  
switches, such as the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series.  
non-IP Multicast filtering switch causes IP Multicast traffic to be sent to  
all segments on the local subnet.

48 An Introduction to IP Routing Protocols  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series can automatically set up IP  
Multicast filters so the IP Multicast traffic is only directed to the participating  
end nodes (see ).  
48)switches S1 to S4 represent a LAN connected to an IP Multicast router.  
The router periodically sends Host Membership Queries to the LAN and  
listens for a response from end stations. All of the clients connected to  
switches S1 to S4 are aware of the queries from the router.  
One client, connected to S2, responds with a host membership report.  
Switch S2 intercepts the report from that port, and generates a proxy report  
to its upstream neighbor, S1. Also, two clients connected to S4 respond  
with host membership reports, causing S4 to intercept the reports and to  
generate a consolidated proxy report to its upstream neighbor, S1.  
5500 Series switch filtering IP multicast streams (1 of 2)  
Switch S1 treats the consolidated proxy reports from S2 and S4 as if  
they were reports from any client connected to its ports, and generates a  
consolidated proxy report to the designated router. In this way, the router  
receives a single consolidated report from that entire subnet.  
After the switches learn which ports are requesting access to the IP  
Multicast stream, all other ports not responding to the queries are blocked  
from receiving the IP Multicast ("5500 Series switch filtering IP multicast

IGMP snooping 49  
5500 Series switch filtering IP multicast streams (2 of 2)  
The consolidated proxy report generated by the switch remains transparent  
to Layer 3 of the International Standardization Organization, Open Systems  
Interconnection (ISO/OSI) model. (The switch IP address and MAC address  
are not part of proxy report generation.) The last reporting IGMP group  
member in each VLAN represents all of the hosts in that VLAN and IGMP  
group.  
IGMP snooping configuration rules  
The IGMP snooping feature operates according to specific configuration  
rules. When configuring the switch for IGMP snooping, consider the  
following rules that determine how the configuration reacts in any network  
topology:  
There is a maximum of 240 groups on the Nortel Ethernet Routing  
Switch 5500 Series.  
A port that is configured for port mirroring cannot be configured as  
a static router port.  
If a MultiLink Trunk member is configured as a static router port, all of  
the MultiLink trunk members are configured as static router ports. Also,  
if a static router port is removed, and it is a MultiLink Trunk member, all  
MultiLink trunk members are removed as static router port members,  
automatically.  
Static router ports must be port members of at least one VLAN.  
The IGMP snooping feature is not STP dependent.  
The IGMP snooping feature is not Rate Limiting dependent.

The snooping field must be enabled for the proxy field to have any  
valid meaning.  
Static router ports are configured per VLAN and per IGMP Version.  
Note: Because IGMP snooping is set up per VLAN, all IGMP changes  
are implemented according to the VLAN configuration for the specified  
ports.

IP Routing Configuration and  
Management  
This chapter describes the configuration and management of IP routing in  
the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series. IP Routing configuration  
is accomplished through the Command Line Interface (CLI), Web-based  
Management Interface, or the Java Device Manager (JDM).  
This chapter contains the following topics:  
IP routing initial configuration  
This section provides step by step instructions for the initial configuration of  
the IP routing protocols supported by the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series. For conceptual information about IP routing topics covered  
This section contains the following topics:  
This chapter also contains in-depth configuration examples that can aid in  
the advanced configuration of the switch. Refer to "IP routing configuration  
examples" (page 120)for these advanced examples.  
Global IP routing configuration  
Before IP routing configuration can take place, IP routing must be globally  
enabled on the switch. Use the set of commands outlined below to enter the  
Global Configuration mode of the switch and enable IP routing.  
5530-24TFD# enable  
5530-24TFD# config terminal

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) initial configuration  
This section contains the steps necessary for the initial configuration of  
OSPF on the switch. More advanced configuration examples can be found  
Basic OSPF configuration  
A basic OSPF configuration will learn OSPF routes from other OSPF  
devices and propagate routes to other OSPF devices. The following  
procedure outlines the creation of a basic OSPF configuration:  
Step Action  
1
Log into User EXEC mode.  
5530-24TFD> enable  
2

Enable IP routing globally.  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip routing  
Enable OSPF globally.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf en  
Log into the OSPF router configuration mode. It is not necessary to  
make any changes at this time but entering the router configuration  
mode is a good way to verify that the mode has been activated.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf  
Note: The remainder of this procedure refers to VLAN 35.  
Although VLAN 35 is used for this example, any port type VLAN  
could be used.

Basic ASBR configuration  
The Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) is used in OSPF to  
import routes that come from non-OSPF sources such as:  
Local interfaces that are not part of OSPF.  
RIP interfaces.  
RIP learned routes.  
Static routes.  
This quick reference will help in the configuration of OSPF to import these  
types of routes. This will allow the rest of the OSPF network to learn them as  
OSPF routes. To create a basic ASBR configuration, follow this procedure:

Select this parameter to set IP blocking to none.  
This allows duplicate IP addresses unconditionally.  
This command is executed in the Global Configuration command mode.  
Layer 3 routable VLANs  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series are Layer 3 (L3) switches.  
This means that a regular L2 VLAN becomes a routable L3 VLAN if an  
IP address and MAC address are attached to the VLAN. When routing is  
enabled in L3 mode, every L3 VLAN is capable of routing as well as carrying  
the management traffic. The user can use any L3 VLAN instead of the  
Management VLAN to manage the switch.  
This section covers the commands that are used to set up and configure  
routable VLANs.  
interface vlan command  
The interface vlan command only takes to the interface config mode.  
The ip routing command in the interface-config mode enables routing  
on a specific vlan.  
The syntax for the interface VLAN command is:  
interface vlan <1 - 4094>  
The interface VLAN command is executed in the Global Configuration  
command mode.  
ip address command  
The ip address command enables routing on a VLAN.  
The syntax for the ip address command is:  
ip address <A.B.C.D> <W.X.Y.Z> [<1 - 256>] [secondary]  
The ip address command is executed in the Interface Configuration  
command mode.

between routers belonging to a single autonomous system (AS). Intended  
for use in large networks, OSPF is a link-state protocol which supports IP  
subnetting and the tagging of externally-derived routing information.  
Note: OSPF commands used during the configuration and management  
of VLANs in the Interface Configuration mode can be used to configure  
any VLAN regardless of the one used to log into the command mode.  
Insert the keyword vlan with the number of the VLAN to be configured  
after the command keywords ip ospf. The current VLAN will remain at  
the one used to log into the Interface Configuration command mode  
after the command execution.

Route policy commands  
Route policies are a Nortel proprietary improvement on existing routing  
schemes. Using existing routing schemes, packets are forwarded based  
on routes that have been learned by the router through routing protocols  
such as RIP and OSPF or through the introduction of static routes. Route  
policies introduce the ability to forward packets based on rule sets created  
by the network administrator. These rule sets, or policies, are then applied  
to the learned or static routes.  
This section describes the configuration and management of route policies  
using the Command Line Interface.

IP routing configuration examples  
This section provides configuration examples for common IP routing tasks  
using the Command Line Interface (CLI). For conceptual information about  
the IP routing topics covered in this section, refer to "An Introduction to IP  
Note: In many of the following configuration examples, a brouter port  
is used to create a connection to the network core. This practice does  
not imply that a brouter port is the only means through which a core  
connection can be established. The use of a brouter port is only one of  
many ways to create such a connection.  
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) configuration  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series provides the following  
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) features:  
Default ARP aging  
Static ARP entries  
Proxy ARP  
Static ARP entries can be used to solve the following instances encountered  
on many networks:  
To communicate with a device that does not respond to an ARP request.  
To prevent an existing ARP entry from aging out.  
When a static ARP entry is configured, both the IP address and MAC  
address of a device is assigned to a physical port. This includes the VLAN  
number if the physical port is associated with a VLAN.

IP routing configuration examples 121  
This section contains the following topics:  
Changing the default ARP aging time  
The default ARP aging time value is set for 360 minutes. To change this  
default aging time use the ip arp timeout command. This command  
has the following syntax:  
ip arp timeout <minutes>  
The <minutes> parameter represents the number of minutes to set for the  
new timeout setting. This is a value in the range of 5 to 360.  
The following is an example of setting a new default aging time:  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip arp timeout 180  
The new setting can be confirmed by using the show ip routing  
command.  
Adding a static ARP entry to a VLAN  
To add a static ARP entry to a VLAN, use the ip arp command. This  
command has the following syntax:  
ip arp ip <ip_address> mac <mac_address> port <port_number>  
vid <vid_number>  
The following table outlines the parameters of this command

122 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
Adding a static ARP entry to a brouter port  
To add a static ARP entry to a brouter port, use the ip arp command. This  
command has the following syntax:  
ip arp ip <ip_address> mac <mac_address> port <port_number>  
vid <vid_number>  
The following table outlines the parameters of this command  
ip arp parameters

Description  
The IP address of the entry.  
The MAC address of the entry.  
The slot/port number of the brouter port.  
The VLAN ID of the entry.  
The following is an example of adding a static ARP entry to a brouter port:  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip arp 172.2.2.13 00:00:98:22:33:44 1/46

Deleting a static ARP entry  
To delete a static ARP entry, use the no ip arp command. This command  
has the following syntax:  
no ip arp ip <ip_address>  
The <ip_address> parameter represents the IP address of the entry to  
delete.  
The following is an example of deleting a static ARP entry:  
5530-24TFD(config)# no ip arp 172.2.2.13  
Note: Deleting a static ARP entry is applicable to both VLANs and  
brouter ports.  
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) configuration  
This section provides examples of the common RIP configuration tasks and  
includes the CLI commands used to create the configuration.  
RIP configuration tasks  
RIP is configured on a VLAN or brouter port basis. This section presents the  
steps in RIP configuration and accompanying command syntax examples.  
To configure RIP on an interface, perform the following steps:

Configuring RIP  
This section describes the set up of a basic RIP configuration between two  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series routers. As illustrated in the  
following diagram, router ERS2 is configured between router ERS1 and  
the edge of the network core. Two VLANs (VLAN 2 and 3) are associated  
with ERS1.  
RIP configuration example  
For the purposes of this example:  
ERS1 is an edge switch with two configured VLANs, VLAN 2 and 3. It is  
connected to aggregation switch ERS2 on ports 1/47 and 1/48.  
Port 2/7 of ERS2 is configured as a brouter port with RIP to connect  
to the network core.  
Use the following procedure to configure router ERS 2 and reproduce the  
illustrated RIP configuration:

Using RIP accept policies  
RIP accept policies are used on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500  
Series to selectively accept routes from RIP updates. If no policies are  
defined, the default behavior is applied. This default behavior is to add all  
learned routes to the route table. RIP accept policies are used to:  
Listen to RIP updates only from certain gateways.  
Listen only for specific networks.  
Assign a specific mask to be included with a network in the routing table  
(such as a network summary).  
In the configuration illustrated below, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series (ERS1) is configured with a RIP accept policy. This creates a  
single route directed to ERS3 for all networks configured on it. The accept  
policy accepts any network from 10.1.240.0 to 10.1.255.0, and creates a  
single entry in the routing table on ERS1.  
A summary route is calculated by comparing the common bits in the  
address range to derive the summary address. For example, if the range of  
IP addresses is from 10.1.240.0 to 10.1.255.0:  
1. Determine the third octet of the first address: 10.1.240.0 = 1111 0000.  
2. Determine the third octet of the ending address: 10.1.255.0 = 1111  
1111.  
3. Extract the common bits: 240 = 1111 0000 255 = 1111 1111 1111  
= 20 bit mask.  
Therefore, the network address to use for this example is 10.1.240.0/20

IP routing configuration examples 131  
Accept policy configuration  
Use the following steps to recreate the above configuration example:  
Step Action  
1
Configure the IP prefix list on ERS1.  
Create a prefix list named Prefix_1 with an IP range from 10.1.240.0  
to 10.1.255.0.  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip prefix-list Prefix_1  
10.1.240.0/20 ge 20 le 32  
2
Configure the route policy named rip_pol_1 with match criteria  
using the IP prefix configured in step 1. This injects one route of  
10.1.240.0/20 into the route table.  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 1  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 1 enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 permit 1 enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 permit 1 match  
network Prefix_1  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 permit 1  
set-injectlist Prefix_1  
3
Add the route policy created in step 2 to both RIP core ports.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface FastEthernet 2/7  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter vlan 2090 subnet  
10.1.1.1/30

Using RIP announce policies  
In the previous configuration example, a RIP accept policy is used on ERS1  
to insert a single route into its route table for all networks from ERS3.  
Instead of using an accept policy on ERS1, a RIP announce policy on ERS3  
could be used to announce a single route to both ERS1 and ERS2 for the  
local network range.  
To configure the RIP announce policy on ERS3, use the following  
configuration steps:

2
Configure the route policy named Policy_Rip with match criteria  
using the IP prefix configured in step 1.  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 1  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 1 enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 permit 1 enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map rip_pol_1 permit 1  
set-injectlist Prefix_1  
3
Add the route policy created in step 2 to both RIP core ports.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface FastEthernet 2/1  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter vlan 2091 subnet

5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip rip enable  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip rip out-policy rip_pol_1  
—End—  
To limit the advertising of routes using the announce policy from the routing  
table, a route policy should be created to deny the route. To configure the  
RIP announce policy with a limited announce policy on ERS3, use the  
following configuration steps:  
Step Action  
1
Configure the IP prefix list named Prefix_2 with the IP address  
10.1.240.0.  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip prefix-list Prefix_2  
10.1.240.0/20 ge 20 le 20  
2

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) configuration  
This section contains examples of common OSPF-related configuration  
tasks.  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the following  
OSPF standards:  
RFC 2328 (OSPF version 2)  
RFC 1850 (OSPF Management Information Base)  
RFC 2178 (OSPF MD5 cryptographic authentication)  
This section provides examples of the common OSPF configuration tasks  
and includes the CLI commands used to create the configuration.  
configuring an IP OSPF interface  
An OSPF interface can be configured on a brouter port or on a VLAN. The  
following section demonstrates the creation of the example OSPF interface  
illustrated below.

IP routing configuration examples 135  
To create the OSPF interface illustrated above for router R1, follow this  
procedure:  
Step Action  
1
Configure brouter port OSPF interface.  
Configure port 2 as a brouter port with VLAN ID of 2134 and enable  
OSPF on this interface.  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2 vlan 2134 subnet  
10.1.1.21/30  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 10.1.1.21  
2
Configure the VLAN OSPF interface.  
Create a port-based VLAN (VLAN 2) using spanning tree group  
1, assign IP address 172.3.1.1 to VLAN 2 and enable OSPF on  
this interface.  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan create 2 type port  
5530-24TFD(config)# spanning-tree stp 1 add-vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan member add 2 1  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip address 172.3.1.1  
255.255.255.0  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 172.3.1.1  
3
Assign a router ID to the new interface and enable OSPF globally.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.1  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# exit

OSPF security  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series implementation of OSPF  
includes security mechanisms to prevent the OSPF routing domain from  
being attacked by unauthorized routers. These security mechanisms  
prevent a malicious person from joining an OSPF domain and advertising  
false information in its OSPF link state advertisements. Likewise, the  
security prevents a misconfigured router from joining an OSPF domain.  
Currently there are two security mechanisms supported: simple password  
security and Message Digest 5 (MD5) security.

136 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
Simple password mechanism The simple password security mechanism  
transmits a text password in the OSPF headers. Only routers that contain  
the same authentication ID in their OSPF headers can communicate with  
each other.  
Note: Nortel recommends not using this security mechanism  
because the password is stored in plain text and can be read from the  
configuration file or from the OSPF packet.  
To configure this authentication type on an OSPF interface of VLAN 2 using  
the password test1234, use the following commands:  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip ospf authentication-type simple  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip ospf authentication-key test1234  
Message Digest 5 The Message Digest 5 (MD5) mechanism provides  
128-bit encrypted authentication based on the RFC 1321 standard. MD5  
authentication for OSPF security, makes it very hard for a malicious user  
to compute or extrapolate the decrypting codes from the OSPF packets.  
Basically, each OSPF packet has a message digest appended to it, which  
needs to be matched between sending and receiving routers. The message  
digest is calculated on either side, based on the MD5 Key and any padding,  
then compared for a match. If the message digest does not meet the match  
criteria, the packet is rejected.  
Each OSPF interface supports up to 2 keys, identifiable by key ID, to  
facilitate a smooth key transition during the rollover process. Only the  
selected primary key is used to encrypt the OSPF transmit packets.  
The process of key change is as follows:  
Note: Assume that all routers already use the same key for  
authentication and a new key is required.  
1. Add the second key to all routers. The routers will continue to send  
OSPF packets encrypted with the old key.  
2. Activate the second key on all routers by setting it as the primary key.  
Routers will send OSPF packets encrypted with the new key while still  
accepting packets using the old key. This is necessary as some routers  
will not have activated the new key.  
3. Remove the old key when all routers activate the new key.  
MD5 configuration example In the configuration example illustrated  
below, MD5 is configured between router R1 and R2.

Configure MD5 authentication on R2.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip ospf message-digest-key 2 md5

—End—  
Configuring OSPF network types  
OSPF network types were created to allow OSPF-neighboring between  
routers over different types of network infrastructures. With this feature,  
each interface can be configured to support the various network types.  
In the example configuration illustrated below, VLAN 2 on Nortel Ethernet  
Routing Switch 5500 Series R1 is configured for OSPF with the interface  
type field value set as passive. Because VLAN 2 is set as passive, OSPF  
hello messages are not sent on this segment, although R1 continues to  
advertise this interface to the remaining OSPF network.

138 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
OSPF network example  
To create the configuration illustrated above for router R1, use the following  
commands:  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan create 2 type port  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan mem add 2 1  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip address 172.3.1.1 255.255.255.0  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip ospf network passive  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports the following  
types of networks:  
Broadcast - Automatically discovers every OSPF router on the network  
by sending OSPF hellos to the multicast group AllSPFRouters  
(224.0.0.5). Neighboring is automatic and requires no configuration.  
This interface type is typically used in an Ethernet environment.  
Passive - Allows interface network to be included in OSPF without  
generating LSAs or forming adjacencies. Typically used on an access  
network, or on an interface that is used for BGP peering. This also  
limits the amount of CPU cycles required to process the OSPF routing  
algorithm.  
Configuring OSPF areas  
In large networks with many routers and networks, the link state database  
(LSDB) and routing table can become very large. Large route tables and  
link state databases (LSDB) consume memory. The processing of link state  
advertisements results in more CPU cycles required to make forwarding  
decisions. To help reduce these undesired effects, an OSPF network can  
be divided into subdomains called areas. An area is made up of a number  
of OSPF routers that have the same area identification.  
By dividing a network into multiple areas, a separate LSDB, consisting of  
router link state advertisements (LSA) and network LSAs are maintained  
for each area. Each router within an area maintains an LSDB only for the  
area to which it belongs. For example, the area router LSAs and network  
LSAs are not flooded beyond the area borders.

IP routing configuration examples 139  
The impact of a topology change is localized to the area in which it occurs.  
The only exception to this is for the area border routers, which must  
maintain an LSDB for each area to which they belong. Changes in topology  
are advertised to the rest of the network by the area border routers by  
advertising summary LSAs.  
A 32-bit Area ID, expressed in IP address format such as 0.0.0.0 for  
0 identifies areas. Area 0 is also known as the backbone area and is  
responsible for distributing routing information to all other areas.  
If multiple areas are used, they must all be attached to the backbone  
through an Area Border Router (ABR), which connects area 0.0.0.0 to the  
non-backbone areas.  
Normal area A normal area is a collection of routers that use the same  
Area-ID that calculates inter-area and external routes through the use of the  
following link state advertisements:  
Summary LSAs  
ASBR-summary LSAs  
AS-external LSAs  
As illustrated in the following figure, a normal area supports Area Border  
Routers (ABRs) and Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBRs).  
OSPF normal area  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series automatically becomes an  
ABR when more than one area is configured for it and each area has at  
least one operational interface. To designate a router as an ASBR, use the  
as-boundary-router enable command.

140 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
Stub and Not So Stubby areas Stub areas do not receive advertisements  
for external routes (AS-external LSAs, type 5) from an ABR, which reduces  
the size of the link state database. Instead, routing to external destinations  
from within a stub area is based on the default route that is originated by the  
stub area ABR (Summary LSA, type 3).  
Import summary can be disabled on a stub area ABR to further prevent  
redistribution of summary routes from other areas into the stub area. In this  
case, the stub area ABR advertises only default routes into the stub area.  
Note: Disabling import summaries is only allowed in the stub area.  
As shown in the following figure, a stub area has only one ABR. All packets  
that are destined to be forwarded outside the stub area are routed to the  
stub areas border exit point, where the ABR first examines the packets  
and then forwarded to a destination.  
OSPF stub area  
Note: Stub areas do not support ASBRs. In all routers attached to the  
stub area, the area must be configured as a stub area.  
In the configuration example illustrated below, the Nortel Ethernet Routing  
Switch 5500 Series R1 is configured in Stub Area 2, and R2 is configured  
as a Stub ABR for Area 2.

OSPF stub area example  
Note: AS-external LSAs are not flooded into a stub area. Instead, only  
one default route to external destinations is distributed into the stub area  
by the stub ABR router. The area default cost specifies the cost for  
advertising the default route into stub area by the ABR.  
Use the procedure outlined below to perform the stub area configuration  
illustrated above:  
Note: This example assumes that global IP routing has been enabled  
on the switch. Global IP routing is enabled on the switch in Global  
Configuration mode using the ip routing command.  
Step Action

Configure router R2.  
a. Configure the OSPF interface on R2.  
Configure port 2/6 as a brouter port in VLAN 100.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2/6  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2/6 vlan 100  
subnet 10.1.1.17/30  
b. Configure the second OSPF interface on R2.  
Configure port 2/1 as a brouter port in VLAN 300. Enable OSPF  
on this interface.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2/1  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2/1 vlan 300

5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip ospf enable  
c. Enable OSPF on R2.  
Configure R2 in stub area 2 with an area default cost of 10.  
Disable import summary to prevent R2 from sending summary  
LSAs of area 0 into area 2. R2 will originate only summary LSA  
for default route into area 2. Note that, by default, OSPF interface  
10.1.1.22 is placed into OSPF area 0.0.0.0. Because one  
additional area of 0.0.0.2 is added and OSPF interface 10.1.1.17  
is added to area 0.0.0.2, R2 automatically becomes a stub ABR.  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.2

Not So Stubby Areas (NSSA) Similar to stub areas, the not so stubby  
area (NSSA) can also prevent the flooding of AS-External Link State  
advertisements into the NSSA by replacing them with a default route.  
However, NSSA can also import small stub (non-OSPF) routing domains  
into OSPF. This allows the NSSA to import external routes, such as RIP  
routes, and then advertise these routes throughout the network.  
External routing information is imported into NSSA by using type 7 LSAs.  
These LSAs are translated at the NSSA boundary into LSA type 5. The N/P  
bit in the type 7 LSA Options field indicates whether the type 7 LSA must be  
translated. Only those LSAs with the N/P-bit set are translated.  
The NSSA configuration example illustrated below demonstrates a Nortel  
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series configured as a NSSA ASBR router.  
NSSA configuration example  
To configure the example illustrated above, follow this procedure:  
Step Action  
1

Configuring Area Border Routers (ABR)  
Configuration of an OSPF ABR is an automatic process on the Nortel  
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series; no user intervention is required. The  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series automatically becomes an  
OSPF ABR when it has operational OSPF interfaces belonging to more  
than one area.  
In the configuration example below, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series R1 is automatically configured as an OSPF ABR after it is  
configured with an OSPF interface for area 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.2.  
ABR configuration example  
To recreate the illustrated ABR configuration, use the following procedure:  
Step Action  
1
Configure an OSPF interface on port 2/6.  
Configure port 2/6 as a brouter port in VLAN 100.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2/6  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2/6 vlan 100 subnet  
10.1.1.17/30  
2
Configure an OSPF interface on port 2/1.  
Configure port 2/1 as a brouter port in VLAN 200 and enable OSPF  
on this interface.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2/1  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2/1 vlan 200 subnet

Enable OSPF.  
Configure R1 as an ABR. Note that, by default, OSPF interface  
10.1.1.22 is placed into OSPF area 0.0.0.0. Because one additional  
area of 0.0.0.2 is created and OSPF interface 10.1.1.17 is added to  
area 0.0.0.2, R1 automatically becomes an ABR.  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.2  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# area 0.0.0.2  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 10.1.1.17

Configuring Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBR)  
An ASBR is a router that has a connection to another Autonomous System  
to distribute any external routes that originated from a protocol into OSPF. A  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series configured as an ASBR can:  
Distribute all OSPF routes to RIP.  
Distribute RIP, direct, or static routes to OSPF.  
Distributing OSPF routes to RIP and RIP to OSPF using AS-external  
LSA Type 1 metrics The configuration example illustrated below, displays  
a Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series configured as an ASBR  
between an OSPF and RIP version 2 network. In this example, the router  
distributes all OSPF routes to the RIP network and all RIP routes to the  
OSPF network.

148 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
ASBR distribution example  
Use the following procedure to replicate the ASBR distribution example:  
Step Action  
1
Configure RIP.  
Configure the RIP interface on R1 by configuring port 1/31 as a  
brouter port in VLAN 100 and enabling RIP on this interface.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 1/31  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 1/31 vlan 100  
subnet 10.1.1.41/30  
5530-24TFD(config)# router rip  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 10.1.1.41  
2
3
Configure the RIP interface for RIP version 2 mode only.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router rip enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 100  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip rip receive version rip2 send  
version rip2  
Configure the OSPF interface.  
Configure port 2/7 as a brouter port in VLAN 200 and enable OSPF  
on this interface.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface fast 2/7  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# brouter port 2/7 vlan 200 subnet  
10.1.1.2/30  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 10.1.1.2  
4
Make R1 the ASBR.  
Configure R1 as an ASBR and assign the OSPF Router-ID.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf

5530-24TFD(config-router)# as-boundary-router enable  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# router-id 1.1.1.3  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf enable  
5
Configure OSPF route distribution.  
Configure OSPF route distribution to import RIP into OSPF. The  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series distributes the RIP  
routes as AS-external LSA (LSA type 5), using external metric type 1.  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# redistribute rip enable  
metric 10 metric-type type1  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip ospf apply redistribute rip  
6
7
Configure a route policy.  
A route policy is required for OSPF to RIP route redistribution. After  
the route policy is created, apply it to the RIP interface. The following  
command creates a route policy named allow which distributes both  
direct and OSPF interfaces.  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map allow permit 1 enable  
match protocol direct,ospf  
Apply the route policy to the RIP Out Policy.  
The following commands apply the route policy created in step 6 to  
RIP interface 10.1.1.41.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 100  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip rip out-policy allow  
—End—  
The configuration steps described in the above example distributes all OSPF  
routes to RIP. However, there are times when it can be more advantageous  
to distribute only a default route to RIP. The following configuration steps  
describe how to distribute only a default route to RIP instead of all OSPF  
routes to RIP.  
To configure R1 to distribute a default route only to RIP, complete the  
following steps:  
Step Action  
1
Configure an IP prefix list with a default route.  
The following command creates an IP prefix list named default with  
an IP address of 0.0.0.0.  
5530-24TFD(config)# ip prefix-list default 0.0.0.0/0

150 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
2
Configure a route policy.  
Create a route policy named Policy_Default which distributes  
the IP prefix list created in step 1. Note that ospf is selected as  
the match-protocol value. This causes the default route to be  
advertised through RIP only if OSPF is operational.  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map Policy_Default permit 1  
enable match protocol ospf set injectlist default  
5530-24TFD(config)# route-map Policy_Default  
1 set metric-type type1  
3
Apply the route policy to the RIP Out Policy.  
Apply the route policy created in step 2 to RIP interface 10.1.1.41.  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 100  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip rip out-policy Policy_Default  
—End—  
Controlling NSSA external route advertisements  
In an OSPF NSSA, the NSSA N/p-bit (in the OSPF hello packets Options  
field) is used to tell the ABR which external routes can be advertised to other  
areas. When the NSSA N/p-bit is set true, the ABR exports the external  
route. This is the default setting for the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500  
Series. When the NSSA N/p-bit is not set true, the ABR drops the external  
route. A route policy can be created on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series to manipulate the N/ p-bit value.  
For example, the illustration below shows a RIP network located in NSSA  
2. If advertising the 15.15.15.0/24 network to area 0 is the only desired  
action, perform the following tasks:  
Enable R1 as an OSPF ASBR.  
Create NSSA area 0.0.0.2.  
Create a route policy to advertise OSPF and direct interfaces to RIP.  
Create a route policy to only advertise RIP network 15.15.15.0/24 to  
area 0 by using the NSSA N/p-bit.

Configuring a multi-area complex  
The multi-area complex configuration example described in this section  
uses five Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series devices (R1 to R5) in  
a multi-area configuration.  
Many of the concepts and topology descriptions that are used in this  
example configuration are described in the previous sections of this chapter.  
The concepts shown in those examples are combined in this example  
configuration to show a real world topology example with command  
descriptions.  
Multi-area complex example  
For this configuration example, the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500  
Series devices R1 through R5 are configured as follows:  
R1 is an OSPF ABR that is associated with OSPF Area 0 and 3.  
R2 is an OSPF Stub ABR for OSPF Area 2 and ABR to OSPF Area 3.  
R3 is an OSPF ASBR and is configured to distribute OSPF to RIP and  
RIP to OSPF.

154 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
R4 is an OSPF internal router in Area 3.  
R5 is an internal OSPF stub router in Area 2.  
All interfaces used for this configuration are ethernet, therefore the  
OSPF interfaces are broadcast.  
The interface priority value on R5 is set to 0, therefore R5 cannot  
become a designated router (DR).  
Configure the OSPF Router Priority so that R1 becomes the DR (priority  
of 100) and R2 becomes backup designated router (BDR) with a priority  
value of 50.  
Stub and NSSA areas are used to reduce the LSDB size by excluding  
external LSAs. The stub ABR advertises a default route into the stub area  
for all external routes.  
The following list outlines the commands used to create the illustrated  
configuration. A similar listing could be provided by using the show  
running-config command.

OSPF routers with which form adjacencies. After the hello packets are  
received, the routers perform an initialization process, which causes  
the routers to transition through various states before the adjacency is  
established. The following table lists the states a router can go through  
during the process of forming an adjacency.  
OSPF neighbor states  
Description  
Step  
State  
1
Down  
Indicates that a neighbor was configured manually,  
but the router did not received any information  
from the other router. This state can occur only on  
NBMA interfaces.  
2
Attempt  
On an NBMA interface, this state occurs when  
the router attempts to send unicast hellos to any  
configured interfaces. The Nortel Ethernet Routing  
Switch 5500 Series does not support NBMA type.

Problems with OSPF occur most often during the initial startup, when the  
router cannot form adjacencies with other routers and the state is stuck in  
the Init or ExStart/Exchange state.  
Init State Problems A router can become stuck in an Init state and not  
form adjacencies. There are several possible causes for this problem:  
Authentication mismatch or configuration problem  
Area mismatch for Stub or NSSA  
Area ID mismatch  
Hello Interval or Dead Interval mismatch  
To determine any mismatches in OSPF configuration, use the show ip  
ospf ifstats mismatch command.  
ExStart/Exchange problems Even though routers can recognize each  
other and have moved beyond two way communications, routers can  
become stuck in the ExStart/Exchange state.

190 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
A mismatch in maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes between the routers  
usually causes this type of problem. For example, one router could be set  
for a high MTU size and the other router a smaller value. Depending on the  
size of the link state database, the router with the smaller value may not be  
able to process the larger packets and thus be stuck in this state. To avoid  
this problem, ensure that the MTU size value for both routers match. This  
problem is usually encountered during interoperations in networks with  
other vendor devices.  
Note: The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series automatically  
checks for OSPF MTU mismatches.  
In the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series, the supported MTU size  
for OSPF is 1500 bytes by default. Incoming OSPF database description  
(DBD) packets are dropped if their MTU size is greater than this value.  
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) configuration  
This section describes how to create a basic VRRP configuration on a  
Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series.  
VRRP uses an election process to select a master router that hosts use as  
the default gateway. If the master router (the default gateway) fails, the  
VRRP backup router automatically replaces the master router and becomes  
the new default gateway. In either case, the default gateway IP address and  
MAC address does not change, thereby providing transparent operation.  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series can be configured in  
a master-master configuration for load-balancing applications that use  
Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT). This configuration allows both switches to  
respond to ARPs and forward traffic.  
VRRP Priority settings can be configured to select the VRRP master router  
for a specified VLAN. The VRRP Priority setting is an integer value, in the  
range 1 and 255, where the highest value is used to elect the VRRP master  
router. If two or more switches have the same priority value, the switch with  
the highest numerical IP address value is selected and becomes the VRRP  
master. The host is unaware of the entire process.  
When a host sends traffic to a different subnet, it sends an ARP request for  
the MAC address of the default gateway. In this case, the Nortel Ethernet  
Routing Switch 5500 Series VRRP master router replies with its virtual  
MAC address. The benefit of using a virtual MAC address is that, if the  
master router fails, the VRRP backup router uses the same virtual MAC  
address. The virtual MAC address on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch  
5500 Series does not need to be configured. The virtual MAC address is  
automatically set as:

00-00-5E-00-01-<VRID>  
Where the VRID is an integer value in the range 1 to 255 that represents  
the virtual router identification.  
The virtual MAC address is assigned when VRRP is configured on a switch  
port or VLAN. The following example represents this process:  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan

5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip vrrp address 199 10.1.20.1  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip vrrp 199 enable  
Configuring normal VRRP operation  
The following configuration example (illustrated below) shows how to  
provide VRRP service for two edge host locations.  
VRRP example topology  
In this example, the switches have the following duties:  
R1 is the VRRP master for S2  
R2 is the VRRP master for S1  
In this example, VRRP is enabled with OSPF as the routing protocol on  
R1 and R2.

192 IP Routing Configuration and Management  
The VRRP priority setting is used to determine which router will become  
the VRRP master and which will become the VRRP backup. In instances  
where the priority setting is the same for two routers, the higher IP address  
becomes the tie breaker. Therefore, it is very important to set the correct  
VRRP priority. VRRP fast advertisement will also be enabled in this example  
to allow for fast failover detection.  
The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to reproduce the  
example described above:  
Step Action  
1
Configure VLAN 2 on router R1.  
a. Create VLAN 2 on router R1.  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan create 2 type port  
b. Configure the ports for VLAN 2 on R1.  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# vlan members add 2 1/15  
c. Configure an IP address for VLAN 2.  
Add IP address 10.1.20.2 / 255.255.255.0 to VLAN 2.  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# interface vlan 2  
5530-24TFD(config-if)# ip address 10.1.20.2  
255.255.255.0  
d. Configure an OSPF interface for VLAN 2.  
5530-24TFD# config terminal  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf enable  
5530-24TFD(config)# router ospf  
5530-24TFD(config-router)# network 10.1.20.2  
e. Configure VRRP on VLAN 2.  
The VRRP VIP address of 10.1.20.1 is added to VLAN 2 using  
a VRID of 1.  
Note 1: The VRRP priority is not configured here; it is left at  
factory default of 100. Instead, the priority setting on router  
R2 will be set to a higher value when R2 is configured.  
Note 2: Fast advertisement is disabled by default. Fast  
advertisement is proprietary to Nortel to support an  
advertisement interval from 200 to 1000 milliseconds (ms)  
with a default of 200. If fast VRRP advertisement is desired,  
enable fast advertisement.

This configuration example shows how you can provide high availability for  
a Layer 2 edge switch feeding into a Layer 3 core. As demonstrated below,  
both R1 and R2 switches are configured with a port-based VLAN (VLAN  
2) with SMLT and VRRP set to enabled. This topology provides failover  
protection and load-balancing.

Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP)  
Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) is an IP feature for load-balancing routed IP  
traffic across up to four equal-cost paths for each supported protocol. ECMP  
supports OSPF, RIP, and static routes. Some benefits of using ECMP:  
Supported protocols will rerun when an ECMP path fails, and the other  
configured paths will automatically take the load.  
Load sharing implies better use of network facilities.  
ECMP is selected based on the source and destination IP address in the  
packet. The hash_control register has a HASH_SELECT field which is set  
to 5 (lower CRC-32).  
R1 = CRC32 (SIP, DIP)  
R2 = R1 & 0x1F(The Least Significant 5 bits are selected)  
ecmp_index = R2 % (ecmp_count + 1)  
Note: The value ecmp_count above is zero-based in the hardware so  
if four paths are present then the value is three. This is why the value  
is ecmp_count + 1.  
The ECMP traffic distribution algorithm is demonstrated in the following  
example:  
Consider two network devices, Device 1 at the IP address 192.1.1.3 and  
Device 2 at 192.1.1.4. Device 1 send to Device 2 so that 192.1.1.3 is the  
source IP address (SIP) and 192.1.1.4 is the destination IP address (Device  
2).  
To calculate the CRC32 for the example source and destination IP address  
noted above, the following calculations would be made:  
CRC32 polynomial : x ^ 32 + x ^ 28 + x ^ 23 + x ^ 22 + x ^ 16 + x ^ 12 +  
x ^ 11 + x ^ 10 + x ^ 8 + x ^ 7 + x ^ 5 + x ^ 4 + x ^ 2 + x ^ 1 + 1  
R1 = CRC32 ( 0xc0010103, 0xc0010104 ) = 0xf474b549  
R2 = ( 0xf474b549 & 0x1f ) = 9  
If, for the purposes of this example, it is assumed that the ECMP count is 4  
(hardware entries 0 though 3), the following calculation is then made:  
ecmp_index = 9 % ( 4+1 ) = 1  
This means that in this example, the second path at hardware index 1 in  
the ECMP table will be used.

IP routing configuration examples 205  
In the configuration example illustrated below, the following command would  
enable two OSPF ECMP paths on router R1:  
5530-24TFD(config)#ospf maximum-path 2  
ECMP configuration example  
Use the following commands to enable ECMP on each of the supported  
protocols:  
OSPF  
ospf maximum-path <path_count>  
RIP  
rip maximum-path <path_count>  
Static Routes  
maximum-path <path_count>  
In all commands above, the <path_count> parameter represents the  
number of ECMP paths allotted. This is a value between 1 and 4. The  
default is 1.  
Displaying the IP routing table  
After ECMP configuration is complete, verify the ECMP paths in the routing  
table using the show ip route command. The following example displays  
the output for this command:

IP routing configuration using the Java Device Manager  
This section describes the procedures for IP routing configuration using the  
Java Device Manager (JDM).  
Layer 3 routable VLANs  
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series are Layer 3 (L3) switches.  
This means that a regular L2 VLAN becomes a routable L3 VLAN if an  
IP address and MAC address are attached to the VLAN. When routing is  
enabled in L3 mode, every L3 VLAN is capable of routing as well as carrying  
the management traffic. The user can use any L3 VLAN instead of the  
Management VLAN to manage the switch.  
This section covers the functionality in the Java Device Manager used to  
make Layer 3 Routable VLANs possible.

Route policies  
Route policies are a Nortel proprietary improvement on existing routing  
schemes. Using existing routing schemes, packets are forwarded based  
on routes that have been learned by the router through routing protocols  
such as RIP and OSPF or through the introduction of static routes. Route  
policies introduce the ability to forward packets based on rule sets created  
by the network administrator. These rule sets, or policies, are then applied  
to the learned or static routes.  
This section describes the configuration and management of route policies  
using the Java Device Manager.  
Prefix List configuration  
The Prefix List tab is used for the configuration of policy prefix lists. Prefix  
lists are the base item in a routing policy. Prefix lists contain lists of IP

To configure a prefix list, following this procedure:  
Step Action

for RIP routes and advertising router IDs  
for OSPF routes against the contents of the  
specified prefix list. This option is ignored for all  
other route types.  
MatchNextHop  
MatchInterface  
If configured, matches the next hop IP address  
of the route against the contents of the specified  
prefix list. This field applies only to non-local  
routes.  
If configured, the switch matches the IP address  
of the interface by which the RIP route was  
learned against the contents of the specified  
prefix list. This field is used only for RIP routes  
and ignored for all other type of route.  
MatchRouteType  
Sets a specific route-type to be matched (applies  
only to OSPF routes). Externaltype1, and  
Externaltype2 specify the OSPF routes of the  
specified type only. OSPF internal refers to intra-  
and inter-area routes.  
MatchMetric  
NssaPbit  
If configured, the switch matches the metric of  
the incoming advertisement or existing route  
against the specified value (1 to 655535). If 0,  
then this field is ignored. The default is 0.  
Set or reset the P bit in specified type 7 LSA. By  
default the P bit is always set in case the user set  
it to a disable state for a particular route policy  
than all type 7. LSAs associated with that route  
policy will have the P bit cleared with this intact  
NSSA ABR will not perform translation of these  
LSAs to type 5. Default is enabled.  
SetRoutePreference  
Setting the preference greater than zero,  
specifies the route preference value to be  
assigned to the routes which matches this policy.  
This applies to Accept policies only. You can set  
a value from 0 to 255. The default value is 0. If  
the default is configured, the global preference  
value is used.  
SetMetric  
If configured, the switch sets the metric value  
for the route while announcing or redistributing.  
The default-import-metric is 0. If the default  
is configured, the original cost of the route is  
advertised into OSPF; for RIP, the original cost of  
the route or the default value is used.
