CHAPTER 1
The Command Line Interface

Your Nortel Application Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively. The extensive Nortel Application Switch Operating System switching software included in your switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring the switch: A built-in, text-based command line interface and menu system for access via local terminal or remote Telnet session A GUI-based Application Switch Element Manager (ASEM) for interactive network access SNMP support for access through network management software such as HP OpenView Nortel Application Switch Operating System Browser-Based Interface (BBI) The command line interface is the most direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch configuration. Using a basic terminal, you are presented with a hierarchy of menus that enable you to view information and statistics about the switch, and to perform any necessary configuration. This chapter explains how to access the Command Line Interface (CLI) of the switch.

Connecting to the Switch

You can access the command line interface in any one of the following ways: Using a console connection via the console port Using a Telnet connection over the network Using an SSH connection to securely log into another computer over a network
Establishing a Console Connection

Requirements
To establish a console connection with the switch, you will need the following: An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software set to the parameters shown in the table below: Table 1-1 Console Configuration Parameters
Parameter Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Flow Control Value 9600 8 None 1 None
A standard serial cable with a male DB9 connector (see your switch hardware installation guide for specifics).
Procedure
1. 2. 3. Connect the terminal to the Console port using the serial cable. Power on the terminal. To establish the connection, press <Enter> a few times on your terminal. You will next be required to enter a password for access to the switch.

Establishing a Telnet Connection

A Telnet connection offers the convenience of accessing the switch from any workstation connected to the network. Telnet access provides the same options for user access and administrator access as those available through the console port. To configure the switch for Telnet access, you need to have a device with Telnet software located on the same network as the switch. The switch must have an IP address. The switch can get its IP address in one of two ways: Dynamically, from a BOOTP server on your network. Manually, when you configure the switch IP address. NOTE You need to enable Telnet and SSH, using serial connection, before you can use these methods of accessing the switch. Refer to Establishing a Telnet Connection on page 25.
Using a BOOTP Server

By default, the Nortel Application Switch Operating System software is set up to request its IP address from a BOOTP server. If you have a BOOTP server on your network, add the MAC address of the switch to the BOOTP configuration file located on the BOOTP server. The MAC address can be found on a small white label on the back panel of the switch. The MAC address can also be found in the System Information menu (see System Information on page 43). NOTE If connecting to the management port, BOOTP is not supported. The port must be manually configured with the proper IP address.
Running Telnet
Once the IP parameters on the Nortel Application Switch are configured, you can access the CLI using a Telnet connection. To establish a Telnet connection with the switch, run the Telnet program on your workstation and issue the Telnet command, followed by the switch IP address:
telnet <IP address>
You will then be prompted to enter a password as explained on page 26.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
25
Establishing an SSH Connection

Although a remote network administrator can manage the configuration of an Nortel Application Switch via Telnet, this method does not provide a secure connection. The SSH (Secure Shell) protocol enables you to securely log into another computer over a network to execute commands remotely. As a secure alternative to using Telnet to manage switch configuration, SSH ensures that all data sent over the network is encrypted and secure. The switch can do only one session of key/cipher generation at a time. Thus, a SSH/SCP client will not be able to login if the switch is doing key generation at that time or if another client has just logged in before this client. Similarly, the system will fail to do the key generation if a SSH/SCP client is logging in at that time. The supported SSH encryption and authentication methods are listed below. Server Host Authentication: Client RSA-authenticates the switch in the beginning of every connection. Key Exchange: RSA Encryption: 3DES-CBC, DES User Authentication: Local password authentication, Radius The following SSH clients have been tested: SSH 1.2.23 and SSH 1.2.27 for Linux (freeware) SecureCRT 3.0.2 and SecureCRT 3.0.3 (Van Dyke Technologies, Inc.) F-Secure SSH 1.1 for Windows (Data Fellows) NOTE The Nortel Application Switch Operating System implementation of SSH is based on SSH version 1.5 and supports SSH-1.5-1.X.XX. SSH clients of other versions (especially Version 2) will not be supported.
Running SSH
Once the IP parameters are configured and the SSH service is turned on the Nortel Application Switch, you can access the command line interface using an SSH connection. To establish an SSH connection with the switch, run the SSH program on your workstation by issuing the SSH command, followed by the switch IP address:
>> # ssh <switch IP address>
26

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
or, if SecurID authentication is required, use the following command:

>> # ssh -1 ace <switch IP address>
You will then be prompted to enter your user name and password.
Accessing the Switch

To enable better switch management and user accountability, seven levels or classes of user access have been implemented on the Nortel Application Switch. Levels of access to CLI, Web management functions, and screens increase as needed to perform various switch management tasks. Conceptually, access classes are defined as follows: User interaction with the switch is completely passivenothing can be changed on the Nortel Application Switch. Users may display information that has no security or privacy implications, such as switch statistics and current operational state information. Operators can only effect temporary changes on the Nortel Application Switch. These changes will be lost when the switch is rebooted/reset. Operators have access to the switch management features used for daily switch operations. Because any changes an operator makes are undone by a reset of the switch, operators cannot severely impact switch operation. Administrators are the only ones that may make permanent changes to the switch configurationchanges that are persistent across a reboot/reset of the switch. Administrators can access switch functions to configure and troubleshoot problems on the Nortel Application Switch. Because administrators can also make temporary (operator-level) changes as well, they must be aware of the interactions between temporary and permanent changes. Access to switch functions is controlled through the use of unique surnames and passwords. Once you are connected to the switch via local console, Telnet, or SSH, you are prompted to enter a password. The default user names/password for each access level are listed in the following table. NOTE It is recommended that you change default switch passwords after initial configuration and as regularly as required under your network security policies.

Table 1-2 User Access Levels

User Account User Description and Tasks Performed The User has no direct responsibility for switch management. He or she can view all switch status information and statistics, but cannot make any configuration changes to the switch. Password user
SLB Operator
The SLB Operator manages Web servers and other Internet ser- slboper vices and their loads. In addition to being able to view all switch information and statistics, the SLB Operator can enable/disable servers using the Server Load Balancing operation menu. The Layer 4 Operator manages traffic on the lines leading to the l4oper shared Internet services. This user currently has the same access level as the SLB operator. and the access level is reserved for future use, to provide access to operational commands for operators managing traffic on the line leading to the shared Internet services. The Operator manages all functions of the switch. In addition to oper SLB Operator functions, the Operator can reset ports or the entire switch. The SLB Administrator configures and manages Web servers and other Internet services and their loads. In addition to SLB Operator functions, the SLB Administrator can configure parameters on the Server Load Balancing menus, with the exception of not being able to configure filters or bandwidth management. The Layer 4 Administrator configures and manages traffic on the lines leading to the shared Internet services. In addition to SLB Administrator functions, the Layer 4 Administrator can configure all parameters on the Server Load Balancing menus, including filters and bandwidth management. The superuser Administrator has complete access to all menus, information, and configuration commands on the Nortel Application Switch, including the ability to change both the user and administrator passwords. slbadmin

CHAPTER 2
Menu Basics
The Nortel Application Switchs Command Line Interface (CLI) is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use the CLI for performing all levels of switch configuration. To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series of menus and sub-menus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or sub-menus that are available, along with a summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt where you can enter any command appropriate to the current menu. This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that are commonly available from all the menus within the CLI.
The Main Menu

The Main Menu appears after a successful connection and login. The following table shows the Main Menu for the administrator login. Some features are not available under the user login.

Some basic commands are recognized throughout the menu hierarchy. These commands are useful for obtaining online help, navigating through menus, and for applying and saving configuration changes. For help on a specific command, type help. You will see the following screen:
Global Commands: [can be issued from any menu] help up print lines verbose exit diff apply save ping ping6 traceroute history pushd popd
pwd quit revert telnet who
The following are used to navigate the menu structure: . Print current menu .. Move up one menu level / Top menu if first, or command separator ! Execute command from history
Table 2-1 Description of Global Commands

Command ? command or help . or print .. or up / lines diff apply save revert Action Provides more information about a specific command on the current menu. When used without the command parameter, a summary of the global commands is displayed. Display the current menu. Go up one level in the menu structure. If placed at the beginning of a command, go to the Main Menu. Otherwise, this is used to separate multiple commands placed on the same line. Set the number of lines (n) that display on the screen at one time. The default is 24 lines. When used without a value, the current setting is displayed. Show any pending configuration changes. Apply pending configuration changes. Write configuration changes to non-volatile flash memory. Remove pending configuration changes between apply commands. Use this command to restore configuration parameters set since last apply command. Exit from the command line interface and log out.

Command ping Action Use this command to verify station-to-station connectivity across the network. The format is as follows: ping <host name>|<IP address> [tries <(1-32)> [msec delay]] [-m| -mgmt|-d|-data] Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the device, tries (optional) is the number of attempts (1-32), msec delay (optional) is the number of milliseconds between attempts. By default, the -d or -data option for network ports is in effect. If the management port is used, specify the -m or -mgmt option. The DNS parameters must be configured if specifying hostnames (see Domain Name System Configuration Menu on page 370). Use this command to verify an IP address and interface connectivity across the network. The format is as follows: ping6 <IP6 address> <Interface number> For example: ping6 3001::1234 - for ping6 global unicast address ping6 fe80::201:2ff:feb1:10e2 20 - for ping6 link-local address Use this command to identify the route used for station-to-station connectivity across the network. The format is as follows: traceroute <host name>| <IP address> [<max-hops (1-32)> [msec delay]] [-m|-mgmt|-d|-data] Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the target station, maxhops (optional) is the maximum distance to trace (1-16 devices), and delay (optional) is the number of milliseconds for wait for the response. By default, the -d or -data option for network ports is in effect. If the management port is used, specify the -m or -mgmt option. As with ping, the DNS parameters must be configured if specifying hostnames. Display the command path used to reach the current menu. Sets the level of information displayed on the screen: 0 =Quiet: Nothing appears except errorsnot even prompts. 1 =Normal: Prompts and requested output are shown, but no menus. 2 =Verbose: Everything is shown. When used without a value, the current setting is displayed. This command is used to telnet out of the switch. The format is as follows: <hostname>|<IP address> [port] [-m|-mgmt|-d|-data]. Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the device. By default, the -d or -data option for network ports is in effect. If the management port is used, specify the -m or -mgmt option. This command brings up the history of the last 10 commands.

Command Line Interface Shortcuts

Command Stacking
As a shortcut, you can type multiple commands on a single line, separated by forward slashes (/). You can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that you want. For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the Spanning Tree Port Configuration Menu from the Main# prompt is as follows:
Main# cfg/l2/stg/port
Command Abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which distinguish the command from the others in the same menu or sub-menu. For example, the command shown above could also be entered as follows:
Main# c/l2/st/p
Tab Completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and hitting <Tab>, the CLI will display all commands or options in that menu that begin with that letter. Entering additional letters will further refine the list of commands or options displayed. If only one command fits the input text when <Tab> is pressed, that command will be supplied on the command line, waiting to be entered. If the <Tab> key is pressed without any input on the command line, the currently active menu will be displayed.
38

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
Configuration Ranges
Most commands now support the use of configuration ranges. Configuration ranges allow the user to set common parameters on a range of similar items on the switch like ports or VLANs. For example, the command shown below would set the PVID of ports 1 through 10 to 5.
Main# /cfg/port 1-10/pvid 5
NOTE When applying a change across a large range, the user may lose control of the switch for 3 to 4 minutes as iterative messages are displayed. This is especially evident through console connections.

/info/sys/snmpv3/access
SNMPv3 Access Table Information
The access control sub system provides authorization services. The vacmAccessTable maps a group name, security information, a context, and a message type, which could be the read or write type of operation or notification into a MIB view. The View-based Access Control Model defines a set of services that an application can use for checking access rights of a group. This group's access rights are determined by a read-view, a write-view and a notify-view. The read-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group while reading the objects. The write-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when writing objects. The notify-view represents the set of object instances authorized for the group when sending a notification.

/info/sys/sonmp
SONMP Information
This command displays the SynOptics Network Management Protocol (SONMP) topology table. SONMP protocol is enabled on Nortel Application Switches using the /cfg/sys/ sonmp on command, and is necessary so that a Nortel Application Switch can be discovered by the Nortel Enterprise Switch Manager.When SONMP is enabled, devices on the network exchange multicast packets namely: flatnet hellos and segment hellos. The IP address of the device is written into the hello packets. As the network devices exchange information, a topology table is built like the one shown below.
Slot Port ----0 /0 1 /11 1 /11 1 /11 1 /11 1 /11 Seg Id --------------- --47.80.23.247 0 47.80.22.1 770 47.80.23.25 259 47.80.23.25 260 47.80.23.241 257 50.10.10.1 263 IP address MAC address ----------------00:01:81:2e:a3:60 00:e0:16:7c:28:24 00:60:cf:81:54:28 00:60:cf:81:54:38 00:60:cf:43:a2:10 00:60:cf:46:d5:60 Local State Seg ------------------ ----- ----Alteon2224 true topChanged Passport1200 true heartbeat Passport8610 true heartbeat Passport8610 true heartbeat AlteonAD4 true topChanged Alteon184 true topChanged Chassis Type

An address that is in the forwarding (FWD) state, means that it has been learned by the switch. When in the trunking (TRK) state, the port field represents the trunk group number. If the state for the port is listed as unknown (UNK), the MAC address has not yet been learned by the switch, but has only been seen as a destination address. When an address is in the unknown state, no outbound port is indicated, although ports which reference the address as a destination will be listed under Reference ports. If the state for the port is listed as an interface (IF), the MAC address is for a standard VRRP virtual router. If the state is listed as a virtual server (VIP), the MAC address is for a virtual server routera virtual router with the same IP address as a virtual server.

Layer 2 Spanning Tree Group Information
When multiple paths exist on a network, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configures the network so that a switch uses only the most efficient path. NOTE The Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports up to 16 multiple Spanning Trees or Spanning Tree Groups.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
You can also see the following port-specific STP information: Port number and priority Cost State Designated Bridge Designated Port The following table describes the STP parameters. Table 3-16 Spanning Tree Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Priority (bridge) Hello Description The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the STP root bridge. The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root bridge hello value. The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigure the STP network. The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state. The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the Forwarding Database. The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment. The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting of 0 indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link speed has been auto negotiated. The state field shows the current state of the port. The state field can be either BLOCKING, LISTENING, LEARNING, FORWARDING, or DISABLED.

Table 3-16 Spanning Tree Parameter Descriptions (Continued)

Parameter Designated Bridge Description The designated bridge resides closest to the root bridge and is responsible for forwarding packets from LAN towards the root bridge. This bridge is displayed as character string starting with the bridge priority (1-65535) followed by a hyphen and six byte MAC address of that switch. The designated port identifies a physical port. This is a number that is the numerical sum of bridge priority and the actual physical port number. For example, a physical port number four with bridge priority 32768 will be displayed as 32678+4=32772.

Trunk Group Information
Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth, multi-link connections between Nortel Application Switches or other trunk-capable devices. A trunk group is a group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth to create a single, larger virtual link. When trunk groups are configured, you can view the state of each port in the various trunk groups.
Trunk group 1, bw contract 1024, port state: 1: STG 1 forwarding 2: STG 1 forwarding
NOTE If Spanning Tree Protocol on any port in the trunk group is set to forwarding, the remaining ports in the trunk group will also be set to forwarding.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to see if the IP address of the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the corresponding physical address is used to send a packet.

Referenced ports are the ports that request the ARP entry. So the traffic coming into the referenced ports has the destination IP address. From the ARP entry (the referenced ports), this traffic needs to be forwarded to the egress port (port 6 in the above example). NOTE If you have VMA turned on, the referenced port will be the designated port. If you have VMA turned off, the designated port will be the normal ingress port.

IPv6 Neighbor Cache Information
This menu provides a mechanism for viewing IPv6 Neighbor Cache information. IPv6 uses the Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol to discover its neighbors link-layer addresses and neighbor reachabilty. ND can also auto-configure addresses and detect duplicate addresses. ND enables routers to advertise their presence and address prefixes and to inform hosts of a better next-hop address to forward packets. The information collected from ND is stored in the Neighbor Cache. The Neighbor Cache maintains information about each neighbor such as: MAC Address Reachability State Neighbor Type VLAN Ingress Port Neighbor Cache entries are added in a number of situations: 1. 2. 3. Entries are added when an IPv6 Interface or Virtual IP is operational. Reception of ND messages from neighbor. A switch sends ND packets to resolve a link-layer address that it wishes to send packets to. There are 5 reachability states: INCOMPLETE The link-layer address of the neighbor has not yet been determined. REACHABLE The neighbor is known to have been reachable recently. STALE The neighbor is no longer known to be reachable but until traffic is sent to the neighbor, no attempt should be made to verify its reachability. DELAY The neighbor is no longer known to be reachable and traffic has recently been sent to the neighbor.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
95
PROBE The neighbor is no longer known to be reachable, and ND messages are sent to the neighbor to verify reachability. The neighbor types are LOCAL and DYNAMIC. The LOCAL neighbor type is for switch pre-configured addresses and DYNAMIC is for neighbor addresses learnt from ND. NOTE The Neighbor Cache table display is limited to 2000 entries. Once the Neighbor Cache table reaches 2000 entries, the entries are displayed on a sorted basis and are kept for display until the entry is aged out and replaced by a new one. No new entries will be used to sort for display once the table reaches this limit. The Application Switch itself has no neighbor cache limit and maintains and processes more than 2000 entries internally but displays only 2000 entries.
NOTE The ASEM and BBI may encounter difficulty displaying a Neighbor Cache table that has reached the 2000 entry limit noted above. In this instance, use of the CLI for viewing the Neighbor Cache table is recommended.

OSPF Information Menu
Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System implementation conforms to the OSPF version 2 specifications detailed in Internet RFC 1583. OSPF is designed for routing traffic within a single IP domain called an Autonomous System (AS). The AS can be divided into smaller logical units known as areas. In any AS with multiple areas, one area must be designated as area 0, known as the backbone. The backbone acts as the central OSPF area. All other areas in the AS must be connected to the backbone. Areas inject summary routing information into the backbone, which then distributes it to other areas as needed. For more

VRRP Information
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on Nortel Application Switch provides redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address. Refer to your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide for more information on VRRP.
VRRP information: 9: vrid 9, 2005:0:0:0:0:0:10:9 if 9, renter, prio 101, master 10: vrid 10, 10.10.10.50, if 1, renter, prio 101, master 20: vrid 20, 2005:0:0:0:0:0:20:20 if 20, renter, prio 105, master, server
When virtual routers are configured, you can view the status of each virtual router using this command. VRRP information includes: Virtual router number Virtual router ID and IP address Interface number Ownership status owner identifies the preferred master virtual router. A virtual router is the owner when the IP address of the virtual router and its IP interface are the same. renter identifies virtual routers which are not owned by this device. Priority value. During the election process, the virtual router with the highest priority becomes master. Activity status master identifies the elected master virtual router. backup identifies that the virtual router is in backup mode. Server status. The server state identifies virtual routers that support Layer 4 services. These are known as virtual server routers: any virtual router whose IP address is the same as any configured virtual server IP address.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
107
Proxy status. The proxy state identifies virtual proxy routers, where the virtual router shares the same IP address as a proxy IP address. The use of virtual proxy routers enables redundant switches to share the same IP address, minimizing the number of unique IP addresses that must be configured.

/info/slb Layer 4 Information Menu

Server Load Balancing (SLB) allows you to configure the Nortel Application Switch to balance user session traffic among a pool of available servers that provide shared services. In an average network that employs multiple servers without server load balancing, each server usually specializes in providing one or two unique services. If one of these servers provides access to applications or data that is in high demand, it can become overutilized. Placing this kind of strain on a server can decrease the performance of the entire network as user requests are rejected by the server and then resubmitted by the user stations. With this software feature, the switch is aware of the services provided by each server and can direct user session traffic to an appropriate server, based on a variety of load-balancing algorithms. Refer to your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide for detailed information on this feature.:

Session dump information

Field (1) SP number (2) Ingress port (3) Source IP address (4) Source port (5) Destination IP address (6) Destination port (7a) Proxy IP address Description
This field indicates the Switch Processor number that created the session. This field shows the physical port through which the client traffic enters the switch. This field contains the source IP address from the clients IP packet in IPv4 or IPv6. This field identifies the source port from the clients TCP/UDP packet. This field identifies the destination IP address from the clients TCP/UDP packet. This field identifies the destination port from clients TCP/UDP packet. This field contains the Proxy IP address substituted by the switch. This field contains the real server IP address of the corresponding server that the switch selects to forward the client packet to, for load balancing. If the switch does not find a live server, this field contains the same information as the destination IP address mentioned in field (5). This field also shows the real server IP address for filtering. No address is shown if the filter action is Allow, Deny or NAT. It will show ALLOW, DENY or NAT instead.
(7) Proxy Port (8) Real Server IP Address
This field identifies the TCP/UDP source port substituted by the switch.
For load balancing, this field contains the IP address of the real server that the switch selects to forward client packet to. If the switch does not find live server, this field is the same as destination IP address (as in row 5). For example: 3,01: 1.1.1.1 1040, 2.2.2.1 http -> 3.3.3.1 http age 10 3,01: 1.1.1.1 6970, 2.2.2.1 rtsp -> 2.2.2.1 21220 age 10 P For filtering, this field also shows the real server IP address. No address is shown if the filter action is Allow, Deny or NAT. It will show ALLOW, DENY or NAT instead. For example: 3,01: 1.1.1.1 1040, 2.2.2.1 http -> 3.3.3.1 http age 10 f:11 2,07: 1.1.1.1 1706, 2.2.2.1 http-> 192.168.4.10 linklb age 8 f:10 E

117
Field (9) Server port
Description
This field is the same as the destination port (field 6) for load balancing except for the RTSP UDP session. For RTSP UDP session, this server port is obtained from the client-server negotiation. This field is the filtering application port for filtering. It is for internal use only. This field can be urlwcr, wcr, idslb, linkslb or nonat.
(10) Age
This is the session timeout value. If no packet is received within the value specified, the session is freed. For example, if: age 10 - The session is aged out in 10 minutes.
age < 160 - The session is aged out in 160 minutes. This indicates that slowage is used. The user can configure slowage by using the command: /cfg/slb/adv/slowage.
(11) Filter number (12) VLAN number
This field indicates the session created by filtering code as a result of the IP header keys matching the filtering criteria. This field is the ingress ports VLAN.

/info/bwm Bandwidth Management Information

Bandwidth Management (BWM) enables Web site managers to allocate a portion of the available bandwidth for specific users or applications. It allows companies to guarantee that critical business traffic, such as e-commerce transactions, receive higher priority versus non-criticaltraffic. Traffic classification can be based on user or application information. BWM policies can be configured to set lower and upper bounds on the bandwidth allocation. You can see the following information on your switch when you execute this command:
[Bandwidth Management Information Menu] ipuser - BWM IP User Entries Information Menu cont - Show Bandwidth Management Contract information

Statistics dot1PortInFrames Description The number of frames that have been received by this port from its segment. A frame received on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if it is for a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management frames. The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its segment. Note that a frame transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is only counted by this object if and only if it is for a protocol being processed by the local bridging function, including bridge management frames. Count of valid frames received which were discarded (that is, filtered) by the Forwarding Process. The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or would have been learnt, but have been discarded due to a lack of space to store them in the Forwarding Database. If this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is regularly becoming full (a condition which has unpleasant performance effects on the subnetwork). If this counter has a significant value but is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem has been occurring but is not persistent.

Statistics dot3StatsAlignment Errors Description A count of frames received on a particular interface that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) check. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the alignmentError status is returned by the MAC service to the Logical Link Control (LLC) (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions are obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC. dot3StatsFCSErrors A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an integral number of octets in length but do not pass the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) check. This count does not include frames received with frametoo-long or frame-too-short errors. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the frameCheckError status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions are obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC. Note: Coding errors detected by the physical layer for speeds above 10 Mb/s will cause the frame to fail FCS check. A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrame object. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision. A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the corresponding instance of the dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames object. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode.

Statistics dot3StatsSQETestErrors Description A count of times that the SQE TEST ERROR message is generated by the PLS sub layer for a particular interface. The SQE TEST ERROR is set in accordance with the rules for the verification of the SQE detection mechanism in the PLS Carrier Sense Function as described in IEEE Std.802.31998 Edition, section 7.2.4.6. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. A count of frames for which the first transmission attempt on a particular interface is delayed because the medium is busy. The count represented by an instance of this object does not include frames involved in collisions. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular interface later than one slotTime into the transmission of a packet. Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a 10 Mbit/s system. A (late) collision included in a count represented by an instance of this object is also considered as a (generic) collision for purposes of other collision-related statistics. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due to excessive collisions. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sub layer transmit error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of either the dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted.

Statistics dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors Description The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame on a particular interface. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented at most once per transmission attempt, even if the carrier sense condition fluctuates during a transmission attempt. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode. A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceed the maximum permitted frame size. The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when the frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to the LLC (or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error conditions are obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the LLC. A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails due to an internal MAC sub layer receive error. A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding instance of either the dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object. The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object may represent a count of received errors on a particular interface that are not otherwise counted. A count of individual MAC frames for which the transmission (successful or otherwise) on a particular interface occurs after the frame has experienced exactly the number of collisions specified by the index. For example, a frame which is transmitted after experiencing exactly 4 collisions would be indicated by incrementing only dot3CollFrequencies [4]. No other instance of dot3CollFrequencies would be incremented in this example. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in fullduplex mode.

Statistics ipInAddrErrors Description The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch). This count includes invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (for example, Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address. The number of input datagrams for which this entity (the switch) was not their final IP destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities which do not act as IP Gateways, this counter will include only those packets which were Source-Routed via this entity (the switch), and the Source- Route option processing was successful. The number of locally-addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space).

Statistics etherStatsOctets Description The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets). This object can be used as a reasonable estimate of utilization (which is the percent utilization of the ethernet segment). If greater precision is desired, the etherStatsPkts and etherStatsOctets objects should be sampled before and after a common interval. The differences in the sampled values are Pkts and Octets, respectively, and the number of seconds in the interval is Interval. These values are used to calculate the utilization as follows: Pkts ( 9.6 + 6.4 ) + ( Octets 0.8 ) Utilization = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Interval 10, 000 The result of this equation is the percent value of utilization. etherStatsPkts etherStatsBroadcastPkts etherStatsMulticastPkts etherStatsCRCAlign Errors The total number of packets (including bad packets, broadcast packets, and multicast packets) received. The total number of good packets received that were directed to the broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast packets. The total number of good packets received that were directed to a multicast address. Note that this number does not include packets directed to the broadcast address. The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but including Frame Check Sequence (FCS) octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets long (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed. The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise well formed.

Statistics etherStatsFragments Description The total number of packets received that were less than 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets) and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). Note that it is entirely normal for etherStatsFragments to increment. This is because it counts both runts (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and noise hits. (A runt is a packet that is less than 64 bytes.) The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS) with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a non-integral number of octets (Alignment Error). Note that this definition of jabber is different than the definition in IEEE802.3 section 8.2.1.5 (10Base-5) and section 10.3.1.4 (10Base-2). These documents define jabber as the condition where any packet exceeds 20 ms. The allowed range to detect jabber is between 20 milliseconds and 150 milliseconds. The best estimate of the total number of collisions on this Ethernet segment. The value returned will depend on the location of the RMON probe. Section 8.2.1.3 (10Base-5) and section 10.3.1.3 (10Base-2) of IEEE standard 802.3 states that a station must detect a collision, in the receive mode, if three or more stations are transmitting simultaneously. A repeater port must detect a collision when two or more stations are transmitting simultaneously. Thus a probe placed on a repeater port could record more collisions than a probe connected to a station on the same segment would. Probe location plays a much smaller role when considering 10Base-T. 14.2.1.4 (10Base-T) of IEEE standard 802.3 defines a collision as the simultaneous presence of signals on the DO and RD circuits (transmitting and receiving at the same time). A 10Base-T station can only detect collisions when it is transmitting. Thus probes placed on a station and a repeater, should report the same number of collisions. Note also that an RMON probe inside a repeater should ideally report collisions between the repeater and one or more other hosts (transmit collisions as defined by IEEE 802.3k) plus receiver collisions observed on any coax segments to which the repeater is connected. The total number of packets (including bad packets) received that were 64 octets in length (excluding framing bits but including Frame Check Sequence (FCS) octets).

Table 4-18 IP Statistics (/stats/l3/ip)

Statistics ipInReceives ipInHdrErrors Description The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in error. The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers, including bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP options, and so forth. The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity (the switch). This count includes invalid addresses (for example, 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (for example, Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address. The number of input datagrams for which this entity (the switch) was not their final IP destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities which do not act as IP Gateways, this counter will include only those packets, which were Source-Routed via this entity (the switch), and the Source- Route option processing was successful. The number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

Statistics ipInDiscards Description The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly. The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP userprotocols (including ICMP). The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams. The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion. The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination. Note that this counter includes any packets counted in ipForwDatagrams, which meet this no-route criterion. Note that this includes any datagrams which a host cannot route because all of its default gateways are down. The number of IP fragments received which needed to be reassembled at this entity (the switch). The number of IP datagrams successfully reassembled. The number of failures detected by the IP re- assembly algorithm (for whatever reason: timed out, errors, and so forth). Note that this is not necessarily a count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably the algorithm in RFC 815) can lose track of the number of fragments by combining them as they are received. The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at this entity (the switch). The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they needed to be fragmented at this entity (the switch) but could not be, for example, because their Don't Fragment flag was set. The number of IP datagram fragments that have been generated as a result of fragmentation at this entity (the switch).

One possible reason for discarding such an entry could be to free-up buffer space for other routing entries. The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live (TTL) field of the IP header of datagrams originated at this entity (the switch), whenever a TTL value is not supplied by the transport layer protocol. The maximum number of seconds, which received fragments are held while they are awaiting reassembly at this entity (the switch).

VRRP Statistics
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the Nortel Application Switch provides redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address. When virtual routers are configured, you can display the following protocol statistics for VRRP: Advertisements received (vrrpInAdvers) Advertisements transmitted (vrrpOutAdvers) Advertisements received, but ignored (vrrpBadAdvers) The statistics for the VRRP are displayed:

Statistics tcpRtoAlgorithm tcpRtoMin Description The algorithm used to determine the timeout value used for retransmitting unacknowledged octets. The minimum value permitted by a TCP implementation for the retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds. More refined semantics for objects of this type depend upon the algorithm used to determine the retransmission timeout. In particular, when the timeout algorithm is rsre(3), an object of this type has the semantics of the LBOUND quantity described in RFC 793. The maximum value permitted by a TCP implementation for the retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds. More refined semantics for objects of this type depend upon the algorithm used to determine the retransmission timeout. In particular, when the timeout algorithm is rsre(3), an object of this type has the semantics of the UBOUND quantity described in RFC 793. The limit on the total number of TCP connections the entity (the switch) can support. In entities where the maximum number of connections is dynamic, this object should contain the value -1. The number of times TCP connections have made a direct transition to the SYN-SENT state from the CLOSED state.

Number of sessions removed from the session table because the server assigned to them failed and graceful server failure was not enabled. Indicates instances where the Switch ran out of available sessions for a port. Indicates that the virtual server IP address and MAC are receiving UDP frames when UDP balancing is not turned on. Indicates the number of non-IP based frames received by the virtual server. Indicates the number of times the switch received a Layer 4 request for a virtual server which was not configured. This dropped frames counter indicates that the virtual server has received frames for TCP/UDP services that have not been configured. Normally this indicates a mis-configuration on the virtual server or the client, but it may be an indication of a potential security probing application like SATAN. This dropped frames counter indicates that all real servers are either out of service or at their maxcon limit.

Real Server SLB Statistics
Real server 1 stats: Current sessions: Total sessions: Highest sessions: Octets 129 65478 4343 523824000
NOTE Octets are provided per server, not per service, unless configured as described in Per Service Octet Counters on page 196. Table 4-36 Real Server SLB Statistics (/stats/slb/real)
Statistics Current sessions Total sessions Highest sessions Octets Description The total number of outstanding sessions that are established to the particular real server. The total number of sessions that have been established to the particular real server. The highest number of sessions ever recorded for the particular real server. The total number of octets sent by the particular real server.
Per Service Octet Counters

For each load-balanced real server, the octet counters represent the combined number of transmit and receive bytes (octets). These counters are then added to report the total octets for each virtual server. The octet counters are provided per servernot per service. If you need octet counters on a perservice basis, you can accomplish this through the following configuration: 1. Configure a separate IP address for each service on each server being load balanced. For instance, you can configure IP address 10.1.1.20 for HTTP services, and 10.1.1.21 for FTP services on the same physical server.
196

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
2.
On the Nortel Application Switch, configure a real server with a real IP address for each service above. Continuing the example above, two real servers would be configured for the physical server (representing each real service). If there were five physical servers providing the two services (HTTP and FTP), 10 real servers would have to be configured: five for the HTTP services on each physical server, and five for the FTP services on each physical server.
3.
On the Nortel Application Switch, configure one real server group for each type of service, and group each appropriate real server IP address into the group that handles the specific service. Thus, in keeping with our example, two groups would be configured: one for handling HTTP and one for handling FTP.
4.
Configure a virtual server and add the appropriate services to that virtual server.

Statistics Contract Name Rate (in Kbps) Octets Discards BufUsed BufMax Description The contract number. The contract name. Rate at which the packets are going out of the switch on a particular contract. The number of octets that are being transmitted through a particular contract since the switch is booted. The number of octets that are being discarded because of seeing more traffic than the bandwidth contract limits. The current amount of buffer space used to store the packets that is waiting to be transmitted. Maximum buffer space that can be used to store the packets before they can be transmitted. The switch starts dropping the packets of a particular contract after the maximum buffer space allocated for that contract is being occupied.

Viewing, Applying, and Saving Changes

As you use the configuration menus to set switch parameters, the changes you make do not take effect immediately. All changes are considered pending until you explicitly apply them. Also, any changes are lost the next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved. While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can do the following: View the pending changes Apply the pending changes Save the changes to flash memory
Viewing Pending Changes

You can view all pending configuration changes by entering diff at the menu prompt. NOTE The diff command is a global command. Therefore, you can enter diff at any prompt in the CLI.
Applying Pending Changes

To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration changes, enter apply at any prompt in the CLI.
# apply
NOTE The apply command is a global command. Therefore, you can enter apply at any prompt in the administrative interface.
NOTE All configuration changes take effect immediately when applied, except for starting Spanning Tree Protocol. To turn STP on or off, you must apply the changes, save them (see below), and then reset the switch (see Resetting the Switch on page 512).

Management Port Configuration Menu
The Management port is a Fast Ethernet port that is used exclusively to manage the switch. While the switch can be managed from any network port, the Management port saves consuming a port that could otherwise be used for processing data and traffic. This port manages the switch using either telnet CLI, SNMP, or HTTP. This port is isolated from and does not participate in the networking protocols that run on the network ports. The Management port must be configured with a static IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, and default gateway, and must be enabled before it can be used. If this port is disabled, the network ports have to perform all switch management (other than the switch management using the console). If this port is enabled, the factory default settings for some of the management features remain with the network ports. You can change the defaults by configuring these features to permanently use the management port, or in some cases, by using the operational commands to set these options on a one-time basis. NOTE The Management port does not support BOOTP.

/cfg/sys/tacacs
TACACS+ Server Configuration Menu
TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an authentication protocol that allows a remote access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. TACACS is an encryption protocol and therefore less secure than TACACS+ and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols. (Both TACACS and TACACS+ are described in RFC 1492.) TACACS+ protocol is seen as more reliable than RADIUS as TACACS+ uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) whereas RADIUS uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Also, RADIUS combines authentication and authorization in a user profile, whereas TACACS+ separates the two operations. TACACS+ protocol has been implemented on Nortel Application Switch Operating System to support the customers that have Ciscos TACACS+ protocol as their network security feature. Apart from that, TACACS+ offers the following advantages over RADIUS as the authentication device: TACACS+ is TCP-based so it facilitates connection-oriented traffic. It supports full-packet encryption as against password-only in authentication requests. Supports decoupled authentication, authorization, and accounting.

Command Syntax and Usage add <mirrored port (port to mirror from)> <direction (in, out, or both)> <vlan index or Carriage Return for all vlans> Adds the port to be mirrored. This command also allows you to enter the direction of the traffic. It is necessary to specify the direction because: If the source port of the frame matches the mirrored port and the mirrored direction is ingress or both (ingress and egress), the frame is sent to the mirrored port. If the destination port of the frame matches the mirrored port and the mirrored direction is egress or both, the frame is sent to the monitoring port. VLAN-based port mirroring allows the user to monitor traffic based on VLANs associated with a port. You can add specific VLAN(s) to a be monitored even if there are multiple VLANs associated with that port. If you do not specify a VLAN, all traffic on that port will be mirrored. rem <mirrored port (port to mirror from)> <vlan index or Carriage Return for all vlans> Removes the mirrored port. cur Displays the current settings of the monitoring port.

/cfg/bwm Bandwidth Management Configuration

Bandwidth Management (BWM) enables Web site managers to allocate a portion of the available bandwidth for specific users or applications. It allows companies to guarantee that critical business traffic, such as e-commerce transactions, receive higher priority versus non-critical traffic. Traffic classification can be based on user or application information. BWM policies can be configured to set lower and upper bounds on the bandwidth allocation. NOTE BWM is a software key-enabled feature that requires users to purchase a license and a key. In order to enable BWM, users need to enter the Bandwidth Management key using the /oper/swkey command. By default, BWM is turned off. Refer to your Application Guide for more information.

/cfg/l2/stg Spanning Tree Group Configuration

When multiple paths exist on a network, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configures the network so that a switch uses only the most efficient path. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and eliminates logical loops in a bridged or switched network. STP forces redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. When multiple paths exist, Spanning Tree configures the network so that a switch uses only the most efficient path. If that path fails, Spanning Tree automatically sets up another active path on the network to sustain network operations. Thus, STP is used to prevent loops in the network topology. Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports the IEEE 802.1p Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports up to 16 instances of Spanning Trees or Spanning Tree groups. Each VLAN can be placed in only one Spanning Tree group per switch except for the default Spanning Tree group (STG 1). The default Spanning Tree group (1) can have more than one VLAN. All other Spanning Tree groups (2-16) can have only one VLAN associated with it. Spanning Tree can be enabled or disabled for each port. Multiple Spanning Trees can be enabled on tagged or untagged ports. See your Application Guide for a detailed description of this feature and how to configure Spanning Tree Groups on the switch. This command is turned on by default.

Spanning Tree bridge parameters affect the global STP operation of the switch. STP bridge parameters include: Bridge priority Bridge hello time Bridge maximum age Forwarding delay Bridge aging time Table 5-54 Bridge Spanning Tree Menu Options (/cfg/l2/stp/brg)
Command Syntax and Usage prior <new bridge priority (0-65535)> Configures the bridge priority. The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network is the STP root bridge. To make this switch the root bridge, configure the bridge priority lower than all other switches and bridges on your network. The lower the value, the higher the bridge priority. The range is 0 to 65535, and the default is 32768. hello <new bridge hello time (1-10 secs)> Configures the bridge hello time.The hello time specifies how often the root bridge transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root bridge hello value. The range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default is 2 seconds. mxage <new bridge max age (6-40 secs)> Configures the bridge maximum age. The maximum age parameter specifies the maximum time the bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it re configures the STP network. The range is 6 to 40 seconds, and the default is 20 seconds. fwd <new bridge Forward Delay (4-30 secs)> Configures the bridge forward delay parameter. The forward delay parameter specifies the amount of time that a bridge port has to wait before it changes from the listening state to the learning state and from the learning state to the forwarding state.

A value of 0 indicates that the default cost will be computed for an auto negotiated link speed. link auto|p2p|shared Set port link type (auto, p2p, or shared; default: auto) edge disable|enable Enable/disable edge port on Enables STP on the port. off Disables STP on the port. cur Displays the current STP port parameters.
/cfg/l2/trunk <trunk group number> Trunk Configuration

Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth and multi-link connections between Nortel Application Switches or other trunk capable devices. A trunk group is a group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth to create a single, larger virtual link. When trunk groups are configured, you can view the state of each port in the various trunk groups. Up to 12 trunk groups can be configured on the Nortel Application Switch, with the following restrictions: Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group. Up to eight ports/trunks can belong to the same trunk group. Best performance is achieved when all ports in a trunk are configured for the same speed.

/cfg/l2/lacp Link Aggregation Control Protocol Menu

The Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports IEEE 802.3ad standard. At the core of the 802.3ad standard is Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). This protocol allows the user to group several physical ports into one logical port (LACP trunk group) with any switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad standard (LACP). You can configure the trunk groups manually called the static trunks as well as you can configure dynamic trunk group using the IEEE 802.3ad standard called the LACP trunks. The maximum number of configurable trunk groups are 40: 12 user configurable trunks and 28 LACP trunks depending upon the maximum number of ports in the switch. The maximum number of active physical ports in any trunk group is eight and the number of standby ports is also eight. The 802.3ad standard allows two or more standard Ethernet links to form a single Layer 2 link using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Link aggregation is a method of grouping physical link segments of the same media type and speed in full duplex, and treating them as if they were part of a single, logical link segment. If a link in a LACP trunk group fails, traffic is reassigned dynamically to the remaining links of the LACP trunk group or is assigned to the standby LACP links. NOTE Refer to IEEE 802.3ad-2000 for a detailed information about the standard. LACP automatically determines which member links can be aggregated and then aggregates them. It provides for the controlled addition and removal of physical links for the link aggregation. Each external port in the Nortel Application Switch Operating System can have one of the following LACP modes. off (default) The user can configure this port to a regular static trunk group. When the system initializes, all ports are in off mode by default. active The port is capable of forming an LACP trunk. This port initiates negotiation with the partner system port by sending LACPDU (Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit) packets. passive The port is capable of forming an LACP trunk. This port only responds to the negotiation requests sent from an LACP active port.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
325
Each LACP active or passive port needs an admin, an operational key, and an aggregator for LACP to start negotiation on these ports. You need to assign the same admin key to a group of ports to make them aggregatable. The link can generate Link Aggregation ID (LAG ID) based on the operational key. All the aggregatable ports must have the same LAG ID. You can form an active LACP trunk group with all the ports that have the same LAG ID. Please refer to your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide for a detailed information on this protocol. NOTE All ports are in LACP off mode by default. Use the following commands to configure LACP on the Nortel Application Switch Operating System.

The rest of the ports stay in standby mode to substitute for any failed ports. The default value is 32768. timeout <short|long> Defines the timeout period before invalidating LACP data from a remote partner. You can choose between short (3 seconds) or long (90 seconds) timeout periods. The default value is long. port <port number> Displays the LACP Port menu.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to see if the IP address of the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the corresponding physical address is used to send a packet.

Static ARP entries are permanent in the ARP cache and do not age out like the ARP entries that are learnt dynamically. Static ARP entries enable the switch to reach the hosts without sending an ARP broadcast request to the network. Static ARPs are also useful to communicate with devices that do not respond to ARP requests. Static ARPs can also be configured on some gateways as a protection against malicious ARP Cache corruption and possible DOS attacks. NOTE Nortel Application Switch Operating System 21.0 and above allows the static ARP configuration to be retained over reboots.

Defining IP Address Ranges for the Local Route Cache

The Local Route Cache lets you use switch resources more efficiently, by reducing the size of the ARP table on the Nortel Application Switch. The /cfg/l3/frwd/local/add parameters define a range of addresses that will be cached on the Nortel Application Switch. The local network address is used to define the base IP address in the range which will be cached, and the local network mask is the mask which is applied to produce the range. To determine if a route should be added to the memory cache, the destination address is masked (bitwise and) with the local network mask and checked against the local network address. By default, the local network address and mask are both set to 0.0.0.0. This produces a range that includes all Internet addresses for route caching: 0.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.255. Addresses to be cached are subnets that are directly connected and for which there is an interface configured on the Nortel Application Switch. To limit the route cache to your local hosts, you could configure the parameters as shown in the examples in the following table. Table 5-71 Local Routing Cache Address Ranges
Local Host Address Range 0.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 128.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255 205.32.0.0 - 205.32.255.255 Address 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 205.32.0.0 Mask 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 255.255.0.0

/cfg/l3/rip
Routing Information Protocol Configuration
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP). RIP is one of a class of algorithms known as distance vector algorithms. The distance or hop count is used as the metric to determine the best path to a remote network or host where the hop count does not exceed 15 hops assuming a cost of one for each network. RIP uses broadcast User Datagram protocol (UDP) data packets to exchange routing information. RIP sends routing information updates every 30 seconds. This update contains known networks and the distances (hop count) associated with each one. For RIP1, no mask information is exchanged; the natural mask is always applied by the router receiving the update. For RIP2, mask information is sent. There are two timers associated with each route: a timeout and garbage-collection timer. Upon expiration of the timeout timer, the route is no longer valid but it is retained in the routing table for a short time so that neighbors can be notified that the route has been dropped. Upon expiration of the garbage-collection timer, the route is finally removed from the routing table. The timeout timer is set for 180 seconds and the garbage-collection timer is set for 120 seconds by default. The menu below is used for configuring globally Routing Information Protocol parameters. The Routing Information Protocol is turned off by default.

Open Shortest Path First Configuration
Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System implementation conforms to the OSPF version 2 specifications detailed in Internet RFC 1583. OSPF is designed for routing traffic within a single IP domain called an Autonomous System (AS). The AS can be divided into smaller logical units known as areas. In any AS with multiple areas, one area must be designated as area 0, known as the backbone. The backbone acts as the central OSPF area. All other areas in the AS must be connected to the backbone. Areas inject summary routing information into the backbone, which then distributes it to other areas as needed. For more information on how to configure OSPF on the switch, refer to your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide.

Command Syntax and Usage areaid <IP address (such as, 192.4.17.101)> Defines the IP address of the OSPF area number. type transit|stub|nssa Defines the type of area. For example, when a virtual link has to be established with the backbone, the area type must be defined as transit. Transit area: allows area summary information to be exchanged between routing devices. Any area that is not a stub area or NSSA is considered to be transit area. Stub area: is an area where external routing information is not distributed. Typically, a stub area is connected to only one other area. NSSA: Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) is similar to stub area with additional capabilities. For example, routes originating from within the NSSA can be propagated to adjacent transit and backbone areas. External routes from outside the Autonomous System (AS) can be advertised within the NSSA but are not distributed into other areas. metric <metric value (1-65535)> Configures a stub area to send a numeric metric value. All routes received via that stub area carry the configured metric to potentially influencing routing decisions. Metric value assigns the priority for choosing the switch for default route. Metric type determines the method for influencing routing decisions for external routes. auth none|password|md5 None: No authentication required. Password: Authenticates simple passwords so that only trusted routing devices can participate. MD5: This parameter is used when MD5 cryptographic authentication is required.

Border Gateway Protocol Configuration
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an Internet protocol that enables routers on a network to share routing information with each other and advertise information about the segments of the IP address space they can access within their network with routers on external networks. BGP allows you to decide what is the best route for a packet to take from your network to a destination on another network, rather than simply setting a default route from your border router(s) to your upstream provider(s). You can configure BGP either within an autonomous system or between different autonomous systems. When run within an autonomous system, it is called internal BGP (iBGP). When run between different autonomous systems, it is called external BGP (eBGP). BGP is defined in RFC 1771. The BGP Menu enables you to configure the switch to receive routes and to advertise static routes, fixed routes and virtual server IP addresses with other internal and external routers. BGP is turned off by default.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on Nortel Application Switch provides redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address. NOTE The IP address of a VRRP virtual interface router (VIR) and virtual server router (VSR) must be in the same IP subnet as the interface to which it is assigned. By default, VRRP is disabled. Nortel Application Switch Operating System has extended VRRP to include virtual servers as well, allowing for full active/active redundancy between its Layer 4 switches.For more information on VRRP, see the High Availability chapter in your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide.

Table 5-94 VRRP Virtual Router Options (/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr)

Command Syntax and Usage vrid <virtual router ID (1-1024)> Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with addr (below) to define a virtual router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled routing devices which can provide redundancy to each other, each participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual router: one that shares the same vrid and addr combination. The vrid for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255. The default value is 1. The vrid of virtual server routers where the virtual router IP address is the same as the virtual server can be between 1 and 1024. All vrid values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual routers IP interface belongs. addr <IP address> Defines the IP address for this virtual router using the notation appropriate to the IP version supported by this virtual router. IPv4 addresses use a dotted decimal notation (such as 192.168.0.1) and IPv6 addresses use a hexadecimal format (such as 2006:0:0:0:0:0:20:64). This is used in conjunction with the vrid (above) to configure the same virtual router on each participating VRRP device. The default address is 0.0.0.0. if <interface number (1-256)> Selects a switch IP interface (between 1 and 256). If the IP interface has the same IP address as the addr option above, this switch is considered the owner of the defined virtual router. An owner has a special priority of 255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it must preempt another virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This preemption occurs even if the preem option below is disabled. The default value is 1. prio <priority (1-254)> Defines the election priority bias for this virtual server. This can be any integer between 1 and 254. The default value is 100. During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest virtual router priority number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP interface address wins. If this virtual routers IP address (addr) is the same as the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this virtual router will automatically be set to 255 (highest). When priority tracking is used (/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or /cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track), this base priority value can be modified according to a number of performance and operational criteria. adver <seconds (1-255)> Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any integer between 1 and 255 seconds. The default value is 1.

Criteria are tracked dynamically, continuously updating virtual router priority levels when enabled. If the virtual router preemption option (see preem in Table 5-94 on page 374) is enabled, this virtual router can assume master routing authority when its priority level rises above that of the current master. Some tracking criteria (vrs, ifs, and ports below) apply to standard virtual routers, otherwise called virtual interface routers. Other tracking criteria (l4pts, reals, and hsrp) apply to virtual server routers, which perform Layer 4 Server Load Balancing functions. A virtual server router is defined as any virtual router whose IP address (addr) is the same as any configured virtual server IP address.

/cfg/l3/metrc <metric name>

Default Gateway Metrics
If multiple default gateways are configured and enabled, a metric can be set to determine which primary gateway is selected. There are two metrics, which are described in the table Default Gateway Metrics (/cfg/l3/metrc) on page 388. Table 5-102 Default Gateway Metrics (/cfg/l3/metrc)
Option strict Description The gateway number determines its level of preference. Gateway #1 acts as the preferred default IP gateway until it fails or is disabled, at which point the next in line will take over as the default IP gateway. This provides basic gateway load balancing. The switch sends each new gateway request to the next healthy, enabled gateway in line. All gateway requests to the same destination IP address are resolved to the same gateway.

UDP Blast Protection Configuration Menu
Malicious attacks over UDP protocol ports are becoming a common way to bring down real servers. Nortel Application Switch Operating System can be configured to restrict the amount of traffic allowed on any UDP port, thus ensuring that backend servers are not flooded with data and disabled. You can specify a series of UDP port ranges and the allowed packet limit for that range. When the maximum number of packets/second is reached, UDP traffic is shut down on those ports. Nortel Application Switch Operating System supports up to 5000 UDP port numbers, using any integer from 1 to 65535. The maximum port range is 5000. If the first port number is 300, the last number that can be used is 5300. While you can configure multiple port ranges, the sum of ranges cannot exceed the maximum of 5000 ports.

/cfg/security/pgroup <pattern group number>

Pattern Matching Menu
When a virus or other attack contains multiple patterns or strings, it is useful to combine them into one group and give the group a name that is easy to remember. When a pattern group is applied to a deny filter, the switch will match any of the strings or patterns within that group before denying and dropping the packet. Up to five patterns can be combined into a single pattern group. Configure the binary or ASCII pattern strings, group them into a pattern group, name the pattern group, and then apply the group to a filter. The filtering commands in Nortel Application Switch Operating System Advanced Denial of Service Pack allow the administrator to define groups of patterns. By applying the patterns and groups to a deny filter, the packet content can be detected and thus denied access to the network. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System 23.0 supports up to 1024 pattern matching groups.

CHAPTER 6
The SLB Configuration Menu

Server Load Balancing (SLB) allows you to configure the Nortel Application Switch to balance user session traffic among a pool of available servers that provide shared services. In an average network that employs multiple servers without server load balancing, each server usually specializes in providing one or two unique services. If one of these servers provides access to applications or data that is in high demand, it can become overutilized. Placing this kind of strain on a server can decrease the performance of the entire network as user requests are rejected by the server and then resubmitted by the user stations. With this software feature, the switch is aware of the services provided by each server and can direct user session traffic to an appropriate server, based on a variety of load-balancing algorithms. This chapter discusses how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuring Server Load Balancing (SLB) on the Nortel Application Switch. Refer to your Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide for detailed information on this feature.

The format of the IP address is dependent upon the IP version specified using the ipver commmand. When this command is used, the address entered is PINGed to determine if the server is up, and the administrator will be warned if the server does not respond. name <string, maximum 31 characters>|none Defines a 15-character alias for each real server. This will enable the network administrator to quickly identify the server by a natural language keyword value. weight <real server weight (1-48)> Sets the weighting value (1 to 48) that this real server will be given in the load balancing algorithms. Higher weighting values force the server to receive more connections than the other servers configured in the same real server group. By default, each real server is given a weight setting of 1. A setting of 10 would assign the server roughly 10 times the number of connections as a server with a weight of 1. Weights are not applied when using the minmisses metric (see Server Load Balancing Metrics on page 421). avail <server weight (1-48)> Displays the currently available real server for Global server load balancing and allows the user to change to another real server for Global server load balancing.

Command Syntax and Usage maxcon <maximum connections (0-200000)> Sets the maximum number of connections that this server should simultaneously support. By default, the number of maximum connections is set at 200,000. This option sets a threshold as an artificial barrier, such that new connections will not be issued to this server if the maxcon limit is reached. New connections will be issued again to this server once the number of current connections has decreased below the maxcon setting. If all servers in a real server group for a virtual server reach their maxcon limit at the same time, client requests will be sent to the backup/overflow server or backup/overflow server group. If no backup servers/server group are configured, client requests will be dropped by the virtual server. tmout <even number of minutes (2-32768)> Sets the number of minutes an inactive session remains open (in even numbered increments). Every client-to-server session being load balanced is recorded in the switch's Session Table. When a client makes a request, the session is recorded in the table. The data is transferred until the client ends the session, and the session table entry is then removed. In certain circumstances, such as when a client application is abnormally terminated by the client's system, TCP/UDP connections will remain registered in the switch's binding table. In order to prevent table overflow, these orphaned entries must be aged out of the binding table. Using the tmout option, you can set the number of minutes to wait before removing orphan table entries. Settings must be specified in even numbered increments between 2 and 32768 minutes. The default setting is 10. This option is also used with the Persistent option (see /cfg/slb/virt/pbind). When persistent is activated, this option sets how long an idle client is allowed to remain associated with a particular server. backup <real server number (1-1023)>|none Sets the real server used as the backup/overflow server for this real server. To prevent loss of service if a particular real server fails, use this option to assign a backup real server number. Then, if the real server becomes inoperative, the switch will activate the backup real server until the original becomes operative again. The backup server is also used in overflow situations. If the real server reaches its maxcon (maximum connections) limit, the backup comes online to provide additional processing power until the original server becomes desaturated. The same backup/overflow server may be assigned to more than one real server at the same time

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

Command Syntax and Usage inter <number of seconds between health checks (0-60)> Sets the interval between real server health verification attempts. Determining the health of each real server is a necessary function for Layer 4 switching. For TCP services, the switch verifies that real servers and their corresponding services are operational by opening a TCP connection to each service, using the defined service ports configured as part of each virtual service. For UDP services, the switch pings servers to determine their status. The inter option lets you choose the time between health checks. The range is from 1 to 60 seconds. The default interval is 2 seconds. An interval of 0 disables health checking for the server. retry <number of consecutive health checks (1-63)> Sets the number of failed health check attempts required before declaring this real server inoperative. The range is from 1 to 63 attempts. The default is 4 attempts restr <number of consecutive health checks (1-63)> Sets the number of successful health check attempts required before declaring a UDP service operational. The range is from 1 to 63 attempts. The default is 8 attempts overflo enable|disable Enable or disable backup upon overflow. addport <real server port (265534)> Add multiple service ports to the server. remport <real server port (265534)> Remove multiple service ports from the server. remote disable|enable Enables or disables remote site operation for this server. This option should be enabled when the real IP address supplied above represents a remote server (real or virtual) that this switch will access as part of its Global Server Load Balancing network. By default, this option is disabled. proxy disable|enable Enables or disables proxy IP address translation. With this option enabled (default), a client request from any application can be proxied using a load-balancing Proxy IP address (PIP). fasthc disable|enable Enables or disables Fast Health Check operation. When enabled, the real server goes down operationally as soon as the physical port connected to the real server goes down. When disabled, the real server will go down only after the configured health check interval.

The default is tcp. See SLB Health Check Types on page 418. backup r<real server number (1-1023)>|g<group number (1-1024)>|none Sets the real server or real server group used as the backup/overflow server/server group for this real server group. To prevent loss of service if the entire real server group fails, use this option to assign a backup real server/real server group number. Then, if the real server group becomes inoperative, the switch will activate the backup real server /server group until one of the original real servers becomes operative again. The backup server/server group is also used in overflow situations. If all the servers in the real server group reach their maxcon (maximum connections) limit, the backup server/server group comes online to provide additional processing power until one of the original servers becomes desaturated. The same backup/overflow server/server group may be assigned to more than one real server group at the same time. name <maximum 31 characters>|none Defines a 15-character alias for each Real Server Group. This will enable the network administrator to quickly identify the server group by a natural language keyword value. realthr <real servers (1-15, 0 for disabled)> Specifies a minimum number of real servers available. If any time, the number reaches this minimum limit, a SYSLOG ALERT message is sent to the configured SYSLOG servers stating that the real server threshold has been reached for the concerned server load balancing group. The default threshold is 0, which also means the option is disabled idsrprt <real server port (2-65534)>|any Sets real server port for the Intrusion Detection Server.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

Command Syntax and Usage advhlth <(1&2|3..), 128>|none Defines an advanced health check formula expression for the real servers. This command allows you to create a boolean expression to health check the real server group based on the state of the virtual services. This command supports two boolean operators, AND or OR that are used to manipulate TRUE or FLALSE values. Using parenthesis with the boolean operators, you can create a boolean expression to state the health of the server group. This command also supports a string expression which is up to 128 characters long, or you can also set the formula expression as none. mhash 24|32 <number of sip bits used for minmisses hash> Defines the minmisses hash parameter for this real server as either 24 or 32 bits. By default the minmiss algorithm uses the upper 24-bits of the source IP address to calculate the real server that the traffic should be sent to when the minmiss metric is selected.You can also select all 32-bits of the source IP address to hash to the real server. wlm <1 - 16> | none Set Workload Manager number. viphlth disable|enable Enables or disables VIP health checking in a service. This feature is enabled by default. However, it works only when the service has DSR (Direct Server Return) feature enabled. When viphlth is disabled, the switch uses RIP to perform all health checks, whether DSR is enabled or disabled. ids disable|enable Enables or disables Intrusion Detection Server (IDS) load balancing for the designated real server group. This feature can only be configured on real server groups between 1-63. idsfld disable|enable Enables or disables the Intrusion Detection flood. When Intrusion Detection flood is enabled, packets are copied to all IDS servers in the IDS group. When this is disabled, packets are only copied to the load balanced IDS server within the IDS group. oper disable|enable Enables or disables the real server group operation. ena <real server number, 1-1023> Enables a real server in this group gracefully or on a per group basis. For example, if a real server is a member of more than one group, you can configure this real server to accept requests from all the groups or any number of groups that this real server is member of. dis <real server number, 1-1023> Disables a real server in this group gracefully or on a per group basis. add <real server number (1-1023)> Adds a real server to this real server group. You will be prompted to enter the number of the real server to add to this group.

Command Syntax and Usage rem <real server number (1-1023)> Remove a real server from this real server group. You will be prompted for the ID number for the real server to remove from this group. del Deletes this real server group from the Layer 4 software configuration. This removes the group from operation under all virtual servers it is assigned to. Use this command with caution: if you remove the only group that is assigned to a virtual server, the virtual server will become inoperative. cur Displays the current configuration parameters for this real server group.
SLB Health Check Types

Using the health command, you can specify the type of health check for the group of real servers. The health check options are described in the following table. Refer to your Application Guide for their detailed description.
>> Real Server Group 1# health Current health check type: Pending new health check type: Enter health check type:
tcp sipoptions
Table 6-8 SLB Health Check Types (/cfg/slb/group/health)

Option and Description link Checks status of port for each server for IDSLB group only. arp Sends an ARP request for Layer 2 health checking. icmp For Layer 3 health checking, pings the server. tcp Opens and closes a TCP/IP connection to the server for TCP service.
418

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

Option and Description http For HTTP service, use HTTP 1.1 GETS when a HOST: header is required to check that the URL content is specified in content command. Otherwise, an HTTP/1.0 GET occurs. Note: If the content is not specified, the health check will revert back to TCP on the port that is being load balanced. httphead Allows the switch to declare if the server is up or not just by locating the URL header and not wait until all the URL contents are received. You can use this command to test the validity and access to the hypertext links or to look for any recent modification to the URL. dns For Domain Name Service, check that the domain name specified in content can be resolved by the server. pop3 For user mail service, check that the user:password account specified in content exists on the server. smtp For mail-server services, check that the user specified in content is accessible on the server. nntp For newsgroup services, check that the newsgroup name specified in content is accessible on the server. ftp For FTP services, check that the filename specified in content is accessible on the server through anonymous login. imap For user mail service, check that the user:password value specified in content exists on the serve sslh Enables the switch to query the health of the SSL servers by sending an SSL client Hello packet and then verify the contents of the servers Hello response. During the handshake, the user and server exchange security certificates, negotiate an encryption and compression method, and establish a session ID for each session.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
419

Option and Description radius-auth, radius-acc, radius-aa For RADIUS remote access server authentication, check that the user:password value specified in content exists on the Nortel Application Switch and the server. To perform application health checking to a RADIUS server, the network administrator must also configure the /cfg/slb/ secrt parameter. The secrt value is a field of up to 32 alphanumeric characters that is used by the switch to encrypt a password during the RSA Message Digest Algorithm (MD5) and by the RADIUS server to decrypt the password during verification. script <n> Enables the use of script-based health checks in send/expect format to check for application and content availability. <n> denotes the health script number (1-64). udpdns Allows the user to perform health checking using UDP DNS queries. wsp Enables connectionless WSP content health checks for WAP gateways. The content under /cfg/ slb/adv/waphc (see page 481) must also be configured. wtp Enables connection-oriented WTP + WSP content health checks for WAP gateways. The content under /cfg/slb/adv/waphc (see page 481) must also be configured wtls Provides Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) Hello-based health check for encrypted and connection-oriented WTLS traffic on port 9203. ldap Sets the health check type to LDAP. The LDAP health checks enable the switch to determine if the LDAP server is alive. This health check consists of three LDAP messages over one TCP connection: a bind request, a bind result, and an unbind request. The switch sends an anonymous bind request to the server. If the server is up, it will send the bind result message and the switch will mark the server as alive. The switch must send an unbind request so that the server does not hold resources indefinitely. The switch administrator can choose LDAP version 2 or 3 as both versions are compatible with Nortel Application Switch Operating System. snmp <n> Enables the use of SNMP-based health checks. <n> denotes the health script number (1-5). tftp Sets the health check type to TFTP. This protocol enables the user to request a file from the server. At regular intervals, the switch transmits TFTP read requests (RRQ) to all servers in the group. The health check is successful if the server responds to the RRQ. The health check fails if the switch receives an error packet from the real server.
420

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

Option and Description rtsp Sets the health check type to RTSP. The RTSP health check can operate with or without content. If there is no content configured the switch will issue an RTSP OPTIONS method. If content is supplied the switch will issue the RTSP DESCRIBE method. If the response to either method is RTSP/200 then the health check passes. If this is not the response, the health check will fail. sip Sets the health check type to sip. You can perform the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) health check by using SIP PING request. You must enable UDP to perform SIP load balancing. sipoptions Sets the health check type to sipoptions. wts Sets the health check type to wts. dhcp Sets the health check type to dhcp. This health check type can operate with or without content. The following content types can be configured: request - use DHCP request instead of inform packet srequest - use DHCP request with a source port of 68 strict - use DHCP inform but with a source port of 68 If no content is specified, this indicates the usage of a DHCP inform with the UDP offset source port.
Server Load Balancing Metrics

Using the metric command, you can set a number of metrics for selecting which real server in a group gets the next client request.
>> Real Server Group 1# metric Current metric: leastconns Enter metric:

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
421
The metrics are described in the following table: Table 6-9 Real Server Group Metrics (/cfg/slb/group/metric)
Option and Description minmisses Minimum misses. This metric is optimized for Application Redirection. When minmisses is specified for a real server group performing Application Redirection, all requests for a specific IP destination address will be sent to the same server. This is particularly useful in caching applications, helping to maximize successful cache hits. Best statistical load balancing is achieved when the IP address destinations of load balanced frames are spread across a broad range of IP subnets. Minmisses can also be used for Server Load Balancing. When specified for a real server group performing Server Load Balancing, all requests from a specific client will be sent to the same server. This is useful for applications where client information must be retained on the server between sessions. Server load with this metric becomes most evenly balanced as the number of active clients increases. hash Like minmisses, the hash metric uses IP address information in the client request to select a server. For Application Redirection, all requests for a specific IP destination address will be sent to the same server. This is particularly useful for maximizing successful cache hits. For Server Load Balancing, all requests from a specific client will be sent to the same server. This is useful for applications where client information must be retained between sessions. The hash metric should be used if the statistical load balancing achieved using minmisses is not as optimal as desired. Although the hash metric can provide more even load balancing at any given instance, it is not as effective as minmisses when servers leave and reenter service. If the Load Balancing statistics indicate that one server is processing significantly more requests over time than other servers, consider using the hash metric. Please note that the Nortel Application Switch Operating System contains a hidden grouping border of 32 when indexing real servers. Problems can occur with non-linear hashing when real server groups move outside of this hidden boundary leastconns Least connections. With this option, the number of connections currently open on each real server is measured in real time. The server with the fewest current connections is considered to be the best choice for the next client connection request. This option is the most self-regulating, with the fastest servers typically getting the most connections over time, due to their ability to accept, process, and shut down connections faster than slower servers. roundrobin Round robin. With this option, new connections are issued to each server in turn: the first real server in this group gets the first connection, the second real server gets the next connection, followed by the third real server, and so on. When all the real servers in this group have received at least one connection, the issuing process starts over with the first real server.
422

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
Table 6-9 Real Server Group Metrics (/cfg/slb/group/metric)

Option and Description response Real server response time. With this option, the switch monitors and records the amount of time that each real server takes to reply to a health check. The response time is used to adjust the real server weights. The weights are adjusted so they are inversely proportional to a moving average of response time. bandwidth Bandwidth Metric. With this option, the real server weights are adjusted so they are inversely proportional to the number of octets that the real server processes during a given interval. The higher the bandwidth used, the smaller is the weight assigned to that server. phash The phash metric utilizes the best features of the hash and minmiss metrics. With phash enabled, the switch supports an even load distribution (hash) and stable server assignment (minmiss) even when a server in the group goes down. With the phash metric, the first hash will always be the same even if a real server is down. If the first hash hits a dead server, it will rehash for that request based on the actual number of servers that are up. This results in a request always being sent to a server that is up.
NOTE Under the leastconns, roundrobin, hash, and phash metrics, when real servers are configured with weights (see the weight option on page 407), a higher proportion of connections are given to servers with higher weights. This can improve load balancing among servers of different performance levels. Weights are not applied when using the minmisses metrics.

Command Syntax and Usage vip <virtual server IP address for IPv4 or IPv6> Sets the IP address of the virtual server using dotted-decimal notation. The virtual server created within the switch will respond to ARPs and PINGs from network ports as if it was a normal server. Client requests directed to the virtual servers IP address will be balanced among the real servers available to it through real server group assignments. dname <64 character domain name>|none Sets the domain name for this virtual server. The domain name typically includes the name of the company or organization, and the Internet group code (.com, .edu, .gov, .org, and so forth). An example would be foocorp.com. It does not include the hostname portion (www, www2, ftp, and so forth). The maximum number of characters that can be used in a domain name is 64. To define the hostname, see hname below. To clear the dname, specify the name as none. vname <32 character virtual server name>|none Set name of virtual server. cont <BWM contract (1-1024)> Enter a new Bandwidth Management Contract for this virtual service. By default, all services under this virtual server are assigned this BW contract. However, the BW contract can be changed for a selected virtual server with /cfg/slb/virt <number>/service <number>/cont. All the frames that match this virtual server services are assigned this BW contract if the previously assigned contract for the frame has lower or equal precedence of the virtual server contract. The default number of contracts is set at 1024 for Nortel Application Switch Operating System. weight Sets the Global server weight for the virtual server. The higher the weight value, the more connections that will be directed to the local site. The default is 1. The response time of this site is divided by this weight before the best site is assigned to a client. Remote site response times are divided by the real server weight before selection occurs. avail Sets the Global SLB availability for the virtual server. addrule <rule, 1-64> Adds Global SLB rule to domain. Rule allows the server selected for GSLB to use different metric preference based on time of the day. Each domain has one or more rules. Each rule has metric preference list. The server selected for GSLB selects the first rule that matches the domain and starts with the first metric in the preference list of the rule. The default is rule 1. remrule <rule, 1-64> Removes Global SLB rule from domain.

Table 6-10 Virtual Server Configuration Menu Options (/cfg/slb/virt)

Command Syntax and Usage layr3 enable|disable Normally, the client IP address is used with the client Layer 4 port number to produce a session identifier. When the layr3 option is enabled (disabled by default), the switch uses only the client IP address as the session identifier. It associates all the connections from the same client with the same real server while any connection exists between them. This option is necessary for some server applications where state information about the client system is divided across different simultaneous connections, and also in applications where TCP fragments are generated. If the real server to which the client is assigned becomes unavailable, the Layer 4 software will allow the client to connect to a different server. creset enable|disable Enable/disable client connection reset invalid VPORT. preempt enable|disable Enable/disable GSLB failover preemption. ena Enables this virtual server. This option activates the virtual server within the switch so that it can service client requests sent to its defined IP address. dis This option disables the virtual server so that it no longer services client requests. del This command removes this virtual server from operation within the switch and deletes it from the Layer 4 switching software configuration.

Command Syntax and Usage wts Go to the WTS Load Balancing Menu. To view the menu options, see
page 433.
http Enables or disables HTTP Redirection for Global server load balancing on a per VIP basis. Disabling HTTP Redirection causes GSLB to use proxy IP address for HTTP. To view the menu options, see page 434. sip Enables or disables Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server load balancing on the Nortel Application Switch Operating System. When enabled, you can configure SIP service on the service port 5060 for a virtual server. SIP is a UDP-based application-level control protocol for creating, modifying and terminating sessions with one or more participants (documented in RFC3261). The SIP processing occurs at application level in order to parse out messages coming from client side as well as the server side. Using SIP on your switch, you can load balance Nortels MCS (Multimedia Communication Server) proxy servers. Nortel Networks MCS is a SIP enabled application Server. When SIP is enabled, you can scan and hash calls based on a SIP Call-ID header to an MCS server. You need to turn Direct Access Mode (DAM) on to perform SIP load balancing. You can use only minmiss as the load balancing metric since the load balancing is performed based on the Call-ID. To view the menu options, see page 435. rtsp Go to the RTSP Load Balancing Menu. To view the menu options, see
page 436.
group <real server group number (1-1024)> Sets a real server group for this service. The default is set at 1. You will be prompted to enter the number (1 to 1024) of the real server group to add to this service. rport <real server port (0-65534)> Defines the real server TCP or UDP port assigned to this service.

Command Syntax and Usage pbind clientip|cookie<p|r|i>|sslid|disable Enables or disables persistent bindings for a real server (disabled by default). This may be necessary for some server applications where state information about the client system is retained on the server over a series of sequential connections, such as with SSL (Secure Socket Layer, HTTPS), Web site search results, or multi-page Web forms. The clientip option uses the client IP address as an identifier, and associates all connections from the same client with the same real server until the client becomes inactive and the connection is aged out of the binding table. The connection timeout value (set in the Real Server Menu) is used to control how long these inactive but persistent connections remain associated with their real servers. When the client resumes activity after their connection has been aged out, they will be connected to the most appropriate real server based on the load balancing metric. An alternative approach may be to use the real server group metrics minmisses or hash (see Server Load Balancing Metrics). In Nortel Application Switch Operating System 23.1, with clientip command enabled, HTTP and HTTPs traffic from the same client will map to the same server irrespective of the load balancing metric used, since the services are related. Whereas, different services from the same client may not map to the same server. The cookie option uses a cookie defined in the HTTP header or placed in the URI for hashing. For more information on cookie option, see Cookie-Based Persistence on page 437. For detailed information on Cookie-Based Persistence, see the Persistence chapter in the Nortel Application Switch Operating System Application Guide. The sslid option is for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is a set of protocols built on top of TCP/IP that allow an application server and user to communicate over an encrypted HTTP session. SSL provides authentication, non-repudiation, and security. The session ID is a value comprising 32 random bytes chosen by the SSL server that gets stored in a session hash table. By enabling the sslid option, all subsequent SSL sessions which present the same session ID will be directed to the same real server. The disable option allows you to disable presistent binding, if it has previously been enabled for a particular application. rcount <response count number (116)> Sets the maximum response counter for cookie-based persistence. The Nortel Application Switch will examine each server response until the cookie is found, or until the maximum count is reached. The default number is 1. thash sip|sip+sport Defines hash parameter. Tunable hash feature allows the user to select different parameters for computing the hash value used by the hash, phash, and minmisses SLB metrics. For example, the source IP address, or both source IP address and source port. If the user does not select any, the switch will use default hash parameter, which is sip.

Command Syntax and Usage dbind disable|enable Enables or disables Layer 4 Delayed Binding for TCP service and ports. Enabling this command protects the server from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. This option is disabled by default. udp disable|enable|stateless Enables or disables UDP load balancing for a virtual port (disabled by default). You can configure this option if the service(s) to be load balanced include UDP and TCP. For example, DNS uses UDP and TCP. In those environments, you must activate UDP balancing for the particular virtual servers that clients will communicate with using UDP. When stateless is enabled, no session table entry is created. Since no session is created, you have to bind to a new server every time. Note: If applying a filter to the same virtual server IP address on which UDP load balancing is enabled, disable caching on that filter for optimal performance. For more information, see the cache command in Table 6-18 on page 447. frag disable|enable Enables or disables remapping server fragments for virtual port. This option is enabled by default. nonat disable|enable Enables or disables substituting only the MAC address of the real server (disabled by default). This option does not substitute IP addresses. This option is used for Direct Server Return (DSR) in an one-armed load balancing setup, so that frames returning from server to the client do not have to pass through the switch. dnsslb disable|enable Enables or disables DNS-based Layer 7 content load balancing. direct disable|enable Enables or disables Direct Access Mode (DAM) on the selected virtual service. This command takes precedence over the command to globally enable or disable Direct Access Mode on the switch. mirror disable|enable Enables or disables session mirroring on the selected virtual service. When implementing session mirroring, beware of the following items: Session mirroring is supported in VRRP Active-Standby and Hot Standby configurations. Session mirroring is not supported in IPv6 Server Load Balancing sessions. Session mirroring is only supported for Layer 4 SLB sessions and Static NAT filtering sessions.

This is used in conjunction with dname (above) to create a full host/domain name for individual services. The format for this command is: # hname <hostname> For example, to add a hostname for Web services, you could specify www as the hostname. If a dname of foocorp.com was defined (above), www.foocorp.com would be the full host/ domain name for the service. To clear the hostname for a service, use the command: # hname none rtspslb hash|patternMatch|l4hash|none This Layer 7 load balancing option sets the type of rtspslb, either hash or patternMatch, thereby enabling the service. The default is hash. hash: If you use hash, RTSP will parse the URL and will hash the URL to select a server to load balance. patternMatch: If you select this option, the switch will match the string or pattern
within the URL to select a server based on the string configured on the real server.
l4hash: The l4hash option configures Server Load Balancing to be based on the Layer 4 hash metric. none: If set at none, RTSP will use Layer 4 metrics to select a server to load balance.

Cookie-Based Persistence
The cookie option is used to establish cookie-based persistence, and has the following command syntax and usage: pbind cookie <mode> <name> <offset> <length> <URI>

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
437
Each parameter is explained in the following table.

Option <mode> Description Specify the mode for cookie-based persistence. The following three modes are available: p: Passive mode. In this mode, the network administrator configures the Web server to embed a cookie in the server response that the switch looks for in subsequent requests from the same client. r: Rewrite mode. In active cookie mode (or cookie rewrite mode), the switch, and not the network administrator, generates the cookie value on behalf of the server. The switch intercepts this persistence cookie and rewrites the value to include server-specific information before sending it to the client. i: Insert mode. When a client sends a request without a cookie, the server responds with the data, and the switch inserts a persistence cookie into the data packet. The switch uses this cookie to bind to the appropriate server. Insert cookie mode expiration parameters are as follows: Enter insert-cookie expiration as either: ... a date <MM/dd/yy[@hh:mm]> (e.g. 12/31/01@23:59) ... a duration <days[:hours[:minutes]]> (e.g. 45:30:90) ... or none <return> <name> <offset> <length> <URI> Enter the name of the cookie. Enter the starting point of the cookie value (1-64) Enter number of bytes to extract (1-64). For cookie rewrite, the extracting length must be 8 or 16. Look for cookie in the URI. If you want to look for cookie name or value in the URI, enter e to enable this option. To look for cookie in the HTTP header, enter d to disable this option.
For more information on Cookie-Based Persistence, see the Nortel Application Switch Operating System 23.1 Application Guide.

Command Syntax and Usage action allow|deny|redir|nat|goto Specifies the action this filter takes: NOTE: IPv6 filters support the allow, deny, and redirection actions. allow deny redir Allow the frame to pass (by default). Discard frames that fit this filters profile. This can be used for building basic security profiles. Redirect frames that fit this filters profile, such as for web cache redirection. In addition, Layer 4 processing must be activated (see the /cfg/slb/on command on page 404). Perform generic Network Address Translation (NAT). This can be used to map the source or destination IP address and port information of a private network scheme to/from the advertised network IP address and ports. This is used in conjunction with the nat option (mentioned in this table) and can also be combined with proxies. Allows the user to specify a target filter ID that the filter search should jump to when a match occurs. The goto action causes filter processing to jump to a designated filter, effectively skipping over a block of filter IDs. Filter searching action will then continue from the designated filter ID. To specify the new filter to goto, use the /cfg.slb/filt/adv/goto command. group <real server group number (1-1024)> This option applies only when redir is specified at the filter action. Define a real server group (1 to 16) to which redirected traffic will be sent. The default is group 1 rport <real server port (0-65535)> This option applies only when redir is specified at the filter action. This defines the real server TCP or UDP port to which redirected traffic will be sent. For valid Layer 4 health checks, this must be configured whenever TCP protocol traffic is redirected. Also, if transparent proxies are used for Network Address Translation (NAT) on the Nortel Application Switch (see the pip option in Table 6-28 on page 458), rport must be configured for all Application Redirection filters. The default is set at 0. nat source|dest When nat is set as the filter action (see above), this command specifies whether Network Address Translation (NAT) is performed on the source or the destination information. Destination (dest) is set as the default filter. If source is specified, the frames source IP address (sip) and port number (sport) are replaced with the dip and dport values. If dest is specified, the frames destination IP address (dip) and port number (dport) are replaced with the sip and sport values.

Command Syntax and Usage vlan any|<VLAN ID (1 - 4090)> Sets the ID of the VLAN that is to be filtered. This option allows you to match the VLAN ID of the switch against the VLAN ID of the incoming packet. The default is any, which means the switch will match any VLAN ID of the incoming packet This command allows filters to be configured on per VLAN basis, and applies a filter to a VLAN that already has been configured. A VLAN has a set of member ports. But by applying this filter to a VLAN, the filter does not get applied to all the member ports of this VLAN. You have to manually add the filter to the port. invert disable|enable Inverts the filter logic. If the conditions of the filter are met, dont act. If the conditions for the filter are not met, perform the assigned action. This option is disabled by default. When using filter inversion for IPv6, be aware the Neighbor Solicitations (NSol) are filtered out if no appropriate NSol filter was set up before inversion. ena Enables this filter. dis Disables this filter. del Deletes this filter. cur Displays the current configuration of the filter.
Defining IP Address Ranges for Filters

You can specify a range of IP address for filtering both the source and/or destination IP address for traffic. When a range of IP addresses is needed, the sip (source) or dip (destination) defines the base IP address in the desired range, and the smask (source) or dmask (destination) is the mask which is applied to produce the range. For example, to determine if a client requests destination IP address should be redirected to the cache servers attached to a particular switch, the destination IP address is masked (bitwise AND) with the dmask and then compared to the dip.
444

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
As another example, you could configure the switch with two filters so that each would handle traffic filtering for one half of the Internet. To do this, you could define the following parameters: Table 6-17 Filtering IP Address Ranges

The option both allows you to perform tunable hash on both source IP address and the destination IP address at the same time. The option sip+sport allows you to perform tunable hash on both source IP address and source port at the same time. The option dip32 allows the user to perform tunable hash on 32 bit destination IP address for the filter. goto <filter ID> Allows the user to specify a target filter ID that the filter search should jump to when a match occurs. Filter searching will then continue from the designated filter ID. Use this command to specify the new filter to go to. In order to use this feature, the action on this filter must be set to goto. reverse disable|enable Enables or disables the creation of a session for traffic coming from the reverse side. This command allows for the creation of a session entry for reverse traffic to avoid inspecting traffic in both directions. cache disable|enable Enables or disables caching sessions that match the filter. Exercise caution while applying cacheenabled and cache-disabled filters to the same switch port. A cache-enabled filter creates a session entry in the switch, so that the switch can bypass checking for subsequent frames that match the same criteria. Cache is enabled by default. Note: Cache should be disabled if applying a filter to virtual server IP address while performing UDP load balancing (see udp disable|enable|stateless on page 431). log disable|enable Enables or disables generating of syslog messages when a filter is hit. This option is disabled by default. mirror disable|enable Enables or disables session mirroring.

Table 6-23 Layer 7 Advanced Filter Menu Options (/cfg/slb/filt/adv/layer7)

Command Syntax and Usage rdsnp disable|enable Enables or disables WAP RADIUS snooping on this filter.
Radius snooping allows the Nortel Application Switch Operating System to examine RADIUS accounting packets for client information. This information is needed to add to or delete static session entries in the switchs session table so that it can perform the required persistency for load balancing. For more details, please refer to your Application Guide.
rdswap enable|disable Enables or disables WAP RADIUS persistence on this filter. This feature allows for RADIUS and WAP persistence by binding both (RADIUS accounting and WAP) sessions to the same server. A WAP client is first authenticated by the RADIUS server on UDP port 1812. The server replies with a Radius Accept or Reject frame. The switch forwards this reply to the RAS. After the RAS receives the Radius accept packet, it sends a RADIUS accounting start packet on UDP port 1813 to the bound server. The application switch snoops on the RADIUS accounting start packet for the framed IP address attribute. The framed IP address attribute is used to rebind the RADIUS accounting session to a new server. For more details, please refer to your Application Guide. ftpa disable|enable Enables or disables active FTP Client Network Address Translation (NAT). When a client in active FTP mode sends a PORT command to a remote FTP server, the switch will look into the data part of the frame and replace the client 's private IP address with a proxy IP (PIP) address. The real server port (RPORT) will be replaced with a proxy port (PPORT), that is PIP:PPORT. By default, this option is disabled. l7lkup disable|enable Enables or disables layer 7 lookup on this filter. This command replaces the urlp and l7deny commands found in earlier releases of Nortel Application Switch Operating System. When enabled, the filter performs a lookup on layer 7 content such as HTTP strings or headers. When combined with a filter action (for example, deny, redir), this feature enables content-intelligent redirection or content-intelligent deny filtering. parseall disable|enable Enables or disables parsing of all packets in a session where layer 7 lookup is being performed. This command is enabled by default, and normally all data packets in a session are examined by the filter. However, some sessions may contain only one packet containing the layer 7 content. Once this packet is found, subsequent packets can be ignored. When parseall is disabled, layer 7 lookup is turned off for the remaining packets in the session. cur Displays the current advanced Layer 7 configuration of the filter including the Radius/Wap persistence settings.

Nortel Application Switch Operating System switch software allows you to enable or disable processing independently for each type of Layer 4 traffic (client and server) on a per port basis, expanding your topology options. NOTE When changing the filters on a given port, it may take some time before the port session information is updated so that the filter changes take effect. To make port filter changes take effect immediately, clear the session binding table for the port (see the clear command in Table 7-3 on page 498). Table 6-28 Port Configuration Menu Options (/cfg/slb/port)
Command Syntax and Usage client disable|enable For Server Load Balancing, the port can be enabled or disabled to process client Layer 4 traffic. Ports configured to process client request traffic bind servers to clients and provide address translation from the virtual server IP address to the real server IP address, re-mapping virtual server IP addresses and port values to real server IP addresses and ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. Maximizing the number of these ports on the Layer 4 switch will improve the switchs potential for effective Server Load Balancing. This option is disabled by default.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
Table 6-28 Port Configuration Menu Options (/cfg/slb/port)

server disable|enable Ports configured to provide real server responses to client requests require real servers to be connected to the Layer 4 switch, directly or through a hub, router, or another switch. When server processing is enabled, the switch port re-maps real server IP addresses and Layer 4 port values to virtual server IP addresses and Layer 4 ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. This option is disabled by default. rts disable|enable Enables or disables Return to Sender (RTS) load balancing on this port. This option is used for firewall load balancing or VPN load balancing applications. Enable rts on all client-side ports to ensure that traffic ingresses and egresses through the same port. This option is disabled by default. For more information on using rts, see the Firewall Load Balancing and VPN Load Balancing chapters in the Nortel Application Switch Operating System 23.1 Application Guide. hotstan disable|enable Enables or disables hot-standby processing. Use this option and the intersw option in conjunction with VRRP hot-standby failover. This option is disabled by default. intersw disable|enable Enables or disables inter-switch processing. This option is enabled for ports connected to a peer switch and is disabled by default. proxy disable|enable Enables or disables a proxy for traffic that ingresses this port. When the PIP is defined, client address information in Layer 4 requests is replaced with this proxy IP address. In Server Load Balancing applications, this forces response traffic to return through the switch, rather than around it, as is possible in complex routing environments. Proxies are also useful for Application Redirection and Network Address Translation (NAT). When pip is used with Application Redirection filters, each filters rport parameter must also be defined (see rport on page 440). This option is disabled by default. filt disable|enable Enables or disables filtering on this port. Enabling the filter sets up the Real Server to look into the VPN session table. This option is disabled by default. add <filter ID (1 to 2048)|block of IDs (first-last)> Adds a filter or a block of filters for use on this port. Enter filter ID (1 to 2048) or a contiguous block of filter IDs.

/cfg/slb/gslb Global SLB Configuration

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) at any given site performs periodic SLB health checks to determine the health and response time of the remote real server corresponding to the virtual server at the remote site. GSLB uses the health and response time to select the server in the GSLB selection engine. In addition, GSLB sends the health and response time together with the local session and CPU utilization information that are collectively known as remote site updates. The switch performs this periodically on every remote site using Distributed Site State Protocol (DSSP). DSSP is a proprietary protocol that resides above TCP.

Using this command you can add or remove a number of real server service port(s) that will process client traffic by-passing the server. In other words, this service ports client request will not be processed by the server processor. To view menu options, see page 478. imask <IP subnet mask (such as 255.255.255.0)> Configures the real and virtual server IP address mask using dotted decimal notation. The default is 255.255.255.255. mnet <IP address> If defined, management traffic with this source IP address will be allowed direct (non-Layer 4) access to the real servers. Specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. A range of IP addresses is produced when used with the mmask option. mmask <IP subnet mask (such as 255.255.255.0)> This IP address mask is used with the mnet to select management traffic which is allowed direct access to real servers. The default is 255.255.255.255. pmask <IP subnet mask (such as 255.255.255.0)> Sets persistent mask. The default is 255.255.255.255. intrval <time window for collecting sessions (0-3600)> This command allows you to configure the time interval (from one second to one hour) to specify how frequently you want to check the SLB sessions (attacks) the switch received. At the configured interval of time the switch will check if the number of sessions is within the configured limits. You can set this limit by using the next command in this menu: allowlim. allowlim <allowable limit (1-2097104)> This command allows you to specify the maximum number of sessions the switch can receive at any given period of time. If the number of sessions exceeds this limit, the switch will generate a syslog and an SNMP trap to alert the administrator that the switch is under SLB attack. submac disable|enable Enables or disables Source MAC address substitution. Typically, the source MAC is not modified for the packets going to the servers in an SLB environment. But if you enable this command, the switch will substitute the source MAC address (for the packets going to the server) with the MAC address of the switch. direct disable|enable Enable/disables Direct Access Mode to real servers/services. This option also allows any virtual server to load balance any real server. By default, this option is disabled.

The default interval is two seconds. Each incremental increase of the value doubles the length of the interval. The fastage scan is used to remove TCP sessions that have been closed with a FIN and sessions that have been identified by the slowage scan as idle for the maximum allowed period. If a large value of fastage is used, a session can remain in the session table for a few minutes. The default is 0. slowage <shift the slow-age (2min) period 0-14 bits> Controls how frequently a slowage scan is performed. The default interval is two minutes. Each incremental increase of the value doubles the length of the interval. (Value is set in bits rather than seconds, which causes the time to double per increment). The slowage scan is used to remove idle or non-TCP sessions from the session at the specified intervals. If a large value of slowage is used, a session can remain in the session table for months. The default is 0.

Scriptable Health Checks Configuration
Scriptable health checks provide a robust and extensible way to health check a group of real servers. With these health checks, the users can define their own health checks of varied complexity. The ASCII and binary-based scripts control how a group of real servers are healthchecked. So both TCP and UDP services can be health-checked. The Health Script menu provides commands that can be used to define the health script. The total number of characters cannot exceed 6144 bytes. Up to 64 scripts can be configured.
[Health Script 1 Menu] open - Add open command to end of script send - Add send command to end of script bsend - Add binary send command to end of script nsend - Add additional send binary string to end of script expect - Add expect command to end of script bexpect - Add binary expect command to end of script nexpect - Add additional expect binary string to end of script offset - Add offset command to end of script depth - Add depth command to end of script wait - Add wait command to end of script close - Add close command to end of script (TCP only) rem - Remove last command from script del - Delete script cur - Display current script configuration
Table 6-48 Scriptable Health Check Menu Options (/cfg/slb/adv/script)

Command Syntax and Usage open <real port or name (such as: http)> <tcp|udp> Opens a TCP connection or specifies a UDP port for the health check. You need to specify the protocol (TCP or UDP), and the port number. send <text string (TCP), hex string (UDP)> Sends an ASCII request string through an open TCP or UDP port to the server. bsend <hex string> Sends a binary request string in hexadecimal format for the request packet through an open TCP or UDP port to the server.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
483

Command Syntax and Usage nsend <additional hex string (UDP)> Allows you to append additional content to the packet generated by the bsend command. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System 23.1 allows a maximum of 256 bytes to be entered. Using one or more nsend commands allows you to generate a binary content of more than 256 bytes in length. expect <text string (TCP), hex string (UDP)> Allows you to configure an ASCII request string that you can search in each server response packet for successful health check on an open TCP port. If you do not see this string in any response packet before the health check interval or the configured wait window expires, the server does not pass the expect step and the health check fails. bexpect <hex string> Allows you to configure binary content request string (in hexadecimal format) that you can search in each server response packet for successful health check on an open TCP port. nexpect <additional hex string (UDP)> Allows you to append additional content to the original content of the response packet specified by the bexpect command. offset <offset, 1-1464> Allows you to specify the offset from the beginning of the UDP data area to start matching the content specified in the expect command. If you need to specify offset, you must do it after executing the bexpect command. depth <depth, 1-1464> Allows you to specify the depth (the window) in bytes beginning from the start of the UDP data area, or beginning from offset if offset was specified, to search for the bexpect content. wait <wait window in milliseconds (1-65535)> Allows the user to configure a wait window for the expected response. The wait window starts when the request is sent from the switch. If the expected response is received within the wait window, the health check passes, otherwise the health check fails. The wait command should follow the offset and depth commands in the script. The wait window is set in the units of milli-seconds. close Closes TCP connection. rem Removes the last entered line from the script. del Deletes the current script.

WAP Health Check Configuration
Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) is used within the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) suite to manage sessions between wireless devices and WAP content servers or WAP gateways. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System provides a content-based health check mechanism where customized WSP packets are sent to the WAP gateways, and the switch verifies the expected response, in a manner similar to scriptable health checks. WSP content health checks can be configured in two modes: connectionless and connectionoriented. Connectionless WSP runs on UDP/IP protocol, ports 9200 and 9202 and connectionoriented (WTP) traffic runs on ports 9201 and 9203. Application switches can be used to load balance the gateways in both modes of operation. The Nortel Application Switch Operating System allows you to configure three WAP gateway health check types for all four WAP services (WSP, WTP+WSP, WTLS+WSP, WTLS+WTP+WSP), deployed on WAP gateways/servers. For further details, refer to the Application Guide.

CHAPTER 7
The Operations Menu

The Operations Menu is generally used for commands that affect switch performance immediately, but do not alter permanent switch configurations. For example, you can use the Operations Menu to immediately disable a port (without the need to apply or save the change), with the understanding that when the switch is reset, the port returns to its normally configured operation.

/oper/swkey Activating Optional Software

The swkey option is used for activating any optional software you have purchased for your switch. Before you can activate optional software, you must obtain a software license from your Nortel Networks representative or authorized reseller. One software license is needed for each switch where the optional software is to be used. You will receive a Licence Certificate for each software license purchased. Currently the following software packages are available for purchase and installation: Security Pack Bandwidth Management Global Server Load Balancing Intelligent Traffic Management Nortel Symantec Intelligent Network Protection Link Load Balancing To obtain a software key, you must register each License Certificate with Nortel Networks and provide the MAC address of the Nortel Application Switch Operating System switch that will run the optional software. Nortel Networks will then provide a License Password. NOTE Each License Password will work only on the specific switch which has the MAC address you provided when registering your Licence Certificate. Once you have your License Password, perform the following actions: 1. 2. Connect to the switchs command line interface and log in as the administrator (see Chapter 1, The Command Line Interface). At the Main# prompt, enter:

Updating the Switch Software Image

The switch software image is the executable code running on the Nortel Application Switch. A version of the image ships with the switch, and comes pre-installed on the device. As new versions of the image are released, you can upgrade the software running on your switch. Upgrading the software image on your switch requires the following: Loading the new image onto a TFTP server on your network Downloading the new image from the TFTP server to your switch Selecting the new software image to be loaded into switch memory the next time the switch is reset
508
Chapter 8: The Boot Options Menu

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
Downloading New Software to Your Switch

The switch can store up to two different software images, called image1 and image2, as well as boot software, called boot. When you download new software, you must specify where it should be placed: either into image1, image2, or boot. For example, if your active image is currently loaded into image1, you would probably load the new image software into image2. This lets you test the new software and reload the original active image (stored in image1), if needed. To download a new software to your switch, you will need the following: The image or boot software loaded on a TFTP server on your network The hostname or IP address of the TFTP server The name of the new software image or boot file Setup the TFTP option (/cfg/sys/mgmt/tftp) for the TFTP connection. This sets the default option for the gtimg and ptimg commands. However, note that you can override this setting with the option provided to these operational commands. NOTE The DNS parameters must be configured if specifying hostnames. See Domain Name System Configuration Menu on page 370). When the above requirements are met, use the following procedure to download the new software to your switch. 1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# gtimg
2.
Enter the name of the switch software to be replaced:

Enter name of switch software image to be replaced ["image1"/"image2"/"boot"]: <image>
3.
Enter the hostname or IP address of the TFTP server.

Enter hostname or IP address of TFTP server: <server name or IP address>

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
509
4.
Enter the name of the new software file on the server.

Enter name of file on TFTP server: <filename>
The exact form of the name will vary by TFTP server. However, the file location is normally relative to the TFTP directory (usually /tftpboot). 5. The system prompts you to confirm your request. You should next select a software image to run, as described below.
Selecting a Software Image to Run

You can select which software image (image1 or image2) you want to run in switch memory for the next reboot. 1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# image
2.
Enter the name of the image you want the switch to use upon the next boot. The system informs you of which image is currently set to be loaded at the next reset, and prompts you to enter a new choice:
Currently set to use switch software "image1" on next reset. Specify new image to use on next reset ["image1"/"image2"]:
Uploading a Software Image from Your Switch

You can upload a software image from the switch to a TFTP server. 1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# ptimg
2.
The system prompts you for information. Enter the desired image:
Enter name of switch software image to be uploaded ["image1"|"image2"|"boot"]: <image> <hostname or server-IP-addr> <server-file-

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
3.
Enter the name or the IP address of the TFTP server:

Enter hostname or IP address of TFTP server: <server name or IP address>
4.
Enter the name of the file into which the image will be uploaded on the TFTP server:
Enter name of file on TFTP server: <filename>
5.
The system then requests confirmation of what you have entered. To have the file uploaded, enter Y.
image2 currently contains Software Version 20.2.0.7 Upload will transfer image2 (1889411 bytes) to file "test" on TFTP server 192.1.1.1. Confirm upload operation [y/n]: y
Selecting a Configuration Block

When you make configuration changes to the Nortel Application Switch, you must save the changes so that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you perform the save command, your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The previous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block. There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory when your Nortel Application Switch was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset the switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured Nortel Application Switch is moved to a network environment where it will be re configured for a different purpose. Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the next time it is reset: 1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# conf

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
511
2.
Enter the name of the configuration block you want the switch to use: The system informs you of which configuration block is currently set to be loaded at the next reset, and prompts you to enter a new choice:
Currently set to use active configuration block on next reset. Specify new block to use ["active"/"backup"/"factory"]:
Resetting the Switch

You can reset the switch to make your software image file and configuration block changes occur. NOTE Resetting the switch causes the Spanning Tree Protocol to restart. This process can be lengthy, depending on the topology of your network. To reset the switch, at the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
>> Boot Options# reset
You are prompted to confirm your request.
Enabling Symantec Intelligent Network Protection

The /boot/symantec command is used to enable and disable the Symantec Intelligent Network Protection on the switch. As this functionality is only active on switches for which a license has been built, the absence of this commands indicates a switch does not currently have an active license. To set the status of this functionality, use the following procedure: 1. Enter the /boot/symantec command.
>> Main# /boot/symantec
2.
At the prompt, enter either ena to enable the functionality or dis to disable it.
Current state of Global Symantec feature is Disabled Globally [ena|dis] Symantec feature (requires a switch reset): ena
512

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

/maint/uudmp Uuencode Flash Dump

Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes it easy to capture the dump information as a file or a string of characters. You can then contact Nortel Networks Customer Support for help analyzing the information. If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your workstation to capture session data prior to issuing the uudmp command. This will ensure that you do not lose any information. Once entered, the uudmp command will cause approximately 23,300 lines of data to be displayed on your screen and copied into the file. Using the uudmp command, dump information can be read multiple times. The command does not cause the information to be updated or cleared from flash memory. NOTE Dump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump information to be written to flash memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For more information on clearing the dump region, see page 525. To access dump information, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Maintenance# uudmp
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communication software to do so, captured to a file. If there is a dump available, the system prompts as follows:
>> Maintenance# uu Enter region to dump [main/bkp]: main Dumping main region: Use 'ptdmp' to extract panic dumps. Confirm proceed with large dump (15000 lines) [y/n]: 524 Chapter 9: The Maintenance Menu
320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
If the dump region is empty, the following message appears:

No FLASH dump available.
/maint/ptdmp <server> <filename> System Dump Put

Use this command to put (save) the system dump to a TFTP or FTP server. NOTE If the TFTP or FTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified ptdmp file must exist prior to executing the ptdmp command, and must be writable (set with proper permission, and not locked by any application). The contents of the specified file will be replaced with the current dump data. To save dump information via TFTP or FTP, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Maintenance# ptdmp <hostname> <filename> <-tftp|username password> [-mgmt|-data]
Where server is the TFTP or FTP server IP address or hostname, and filename is the target dump file.
/maint/cldmp Clearing Dump Information

To clear dump information from flash memory, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Maintenance# cldmp
The switch clears the dump region of flash memory and displays the following message:
FLASH dump region cleared.
If the flash dump region is already clear, the switch displays the following message:
FLASH dump region is already clear.

Command Syntax and Usage ptcfg Saves the current configuration, including private keys and certificates, to a TFTP server. The configuration can later be restored by using the gtcfg command. You are required to specify a password phrase before the information is sent to the TFTP server. If you restore the configuration by using the gtcfg command, you will be prompted for the password phrase you have specified. The password phrase is used to protect the private keys in the configuration.
NOTE Note 1: If you have fully separated the Administrator user role from the Certificate Administrator user role, the export passphrase defined by the certificate administrator is used to protect the private keys in the configuration - transparently to the user. When a configuration backup is restored by using the gtcfg command, the certificate administrator must enter the correct passphrase.
NOTE Note 2: When using the ptcfg command on an iSD310-SSL FIPS, private keys are encrypted using the wrap key that was generated when the first HSM card in the cluster was initialized.
gtcfg Restores a configuration, including private keys and certificates, from a TFTP server. You need to provide the password phrase you specified when saving the configuration to the TFTP server.
NOTE Note: If you have fully separated the Administrator user role from the Certificate Administrator user role (by removing the admin user from the certadmin group), the certificate administrator must enter the passphrase that was defined by him or her using the /cfg/sys/user/caphrase command.

Command Syntax and Usage rewrite on|off Set SSL triggered rewrite. For step-up certificates we recommend ALL:-RC2:SHA1:@STRENGTH ciphers <string> Set the accepted ciphers. The cipher list consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons (e.g. SSLv3:TLSv1). Lists of cipher suites can be combined using a logical and operation (+) (e.g. SHA1+DES represents all cipher suites containing the SHA1 and the DES algorithms). Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters !, - or +: ! permanently delets the ciphers from the list (e.g. !RSA). - deletes the ciphers from the list, but the ciphers can be added again by later options. + moves the ciphers to the end of the list. This option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones. Additionally the cipher string @STRENGTH sorts the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length. response iSD|WebServer Set the source of response. URI <WebServer response only> Set the URI with the weak cipher alert. For example, /cgi-bin/weakcipher.

The command stops the particular iSD host to which you have connected by Telnet, SSH, or a console connection. Always use this command before turning off the device. If you are connected by Telnet or SSH to the Management IP address (MIP), use the halt command in the iSD Host menu (/cfg/sys/cluster/host #) instead. reboot Reboot the iSD. The command reboots the particular iSD host to which you have connected by Telnet, SSH or a console connection. If you are connected by Telnet or SSH to the Management IP address (MIP), use the reboot command in the iSD Host menu (/cfg/sys/cluster/host #) instead.

320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007

Table 10-118 SSL Configuration Boot Menu Options

Command Syntax and Usage delete Delete an iSD host. Resets the particular iSD host to which you have connected via Telnet, SSH, or a console connection, to its factory default configuration (all IP configuration is lost). The software itself will remain intact. After having performed a delete, you can only access the device via a console connection. Log in as the admin user with the admin password to enter the Setup menu.
NOTE Note: If you receive a warning that the iSD you are trying to delete has no contact with any (other) master iSD in the cluster, connect to the MIP address by Telnet or SSH and delete the iSD from the cluster by using the delete command in the iSD Host menu (/cfg/sys/cluster/host #).
The /boot/delete command is primarily intended for situations when you want to delete an iSD host that has either become isolated from the cluster, or has been physically removed from the cluster without first performing the delete command from the iSD Host menu. Under these circumstances, you must use the /boot/delete command to present the Setup menu, from which you can perform the new and join commands.

Performing a Serial Download

You can perform a serial download of the new Nortel Application Switch software if you are upgrading Nortel Application Switch Operating System directly from any image. This procedure requires the following: A computer running terminal emulation software A standard serial cable with a male DB9 connector (see your switch hardware installation guide for specifics) A binary switch firmware image (not the tftp file used for TFTP download) Use the following procedure to perform a serial upgrade. 1. 2. Using the serial cable, connect the Console port of an Nortel Application Switch to the serial port of your PC that supports XModem/1K XModem. Start hyper terminal (part of Microsoft Windows) and set the following parameters:
3. 4.
Power on the switch. Hold the <Shift> key down and hit D repeatedly until the following message appears:
Nortel Application Switch - PPCBoot 2.2. To download a serial image use 1K Xmodem at 115200
665
320506-C Rev. 02, Feb 2007
5.
Reconfigure your terminal emulation software with the following parameters (only after you see the message displayed in step 4):
NOTE You can perform serial downloads at 57600 baud rate by pressing Shift f or at 115200 baud rate by pressing Shift d.
6.
Press <Enter> on the key board of the PC that is connected to the console port of the switch. When the Console Port is successfully communicating with the PC, you will see: CCCC... Make sure that the new binary firmware file is available on the computer. This file can be downloaded from the CD that is shipped with the switch. Select <Transfer-Send File> and choose the following:
file: For example, "21.0.0.0_Serial.img" (Or the file previously downloaded to the computer)
7.
protocol: 1K XMODEM It will take about 15 minutes for the transfer to complete. NOTE Although slower, XMODEM will work too if you choose not to use 1K MODEM. 8. Power off the switch, wait for a few seconds and power the switch on. CAUTIONDo not power off the switch until you see the message: Change your baud rate to 9600 bps and power cycle switch, otherwise, the switch will be inoperable. 9. The switch will boot with the new software load. You should see the following sample log on your screen:

DIP (Destination IP Address) Dport (Destination Port) NAT (Network Address Translation) The destination IP address of a frame.
The destination port (application socket: for example, http-80/https-443/DNS-53)
Any time an IP address is changed from one source IP or destination IP address to another address, network address translation can be said to have taken place. In general, half NAT is when the destination IP or source IP address is changed from one address to another. Full NAT is when both addresses are changed from one address to another. No NAT is when neither source nor destination IP addresses are translated. Virtual server-based load balancing uses half NAT by design, because it translates the destination IP address from the Virtual Server IP address, to that of one of the real servers. In VRRP, preemption will cause a Virtual Router that has a lower priority to go into backup should a peer Virtual Router start advertising with a higher priority. In VRRP, the value given to a Virtual Router to determine its ranking with its peer(s). Minimum value is 1 and maximum value is 254. Default is 100. A higher number will win out for master designation. The protocol of a frame. Can be any value represented by a 8-bit value in the IP header adherent to the IP specification (for example, TCP, UDP, OSPF, ICMP, and so on.) A group of real servers that are associated with a Virtual Server IP address, or a filter.

Redirection or Filter-Based Load Balancing
A type of load balancing that operates differently from virtual server-based load balancing. With this type of load balancing, requests are transparently intercepted and redirected to a server group. Transparently means that requests are not specifically destined for a Virtual Server IP address that the switch owns. Instead, a filter is configured in the switch. This filter intercepts traffic based on certain IP header criteria and load balances it. Filters can be configured to filter on the SIP/Range (via netmask), DIP/Range (via netmask), Protocol, SPort/Range or DPort/Range. The action on a filter can be Allow, Deny, Redirect to a Server Group, or NAT (translation of either the source IP or destination IP address). In redirection-based load balancing, the destination IP address is not translated to that of one of the real servers. Therefore, redirection-based load balancing is designed to load balance devices that normally operate transparently in your networksuch as a firewall, spam filter, or transparent Web cache. Real Server IP Address. An IP addresses that the switch load balances to when requests are made to a Virtual Server IP address (VIP). The source IP address of a frame.
RIP (Real Server)
SIP (Source IP Address) SPort (Source Port) Tracking
The source port (application socket: for example, HTTP-80/HTTPS-443/DNS-53). In VRRP, a method to increase the priority of a virtual router and thus master designation (with preemption enabled). Tracking can be very valuable in an active/active configuration. You can track the following: Vrs: Virtual Routers in Master Mode (increments priority by 2 for each) Ifs: Active IP interfaces on the Nortel Application Switch (increments priority by 2 for each) Ports: Active ports on the same VLAN (increments priority by 2 for each) l4pts: Active Layer 4 Ports, client or server designation (increments priority by 2 for each reals: healthy real servers (increments by 2 for each healthy real server) hsrp: HSRP announcements heard on a client designated port (increments by 10 for each) An IP address that the switch owns and uses to load balance particular service requests (like HTTP) to other servers. A VRRP address that is an IP interface address shared between two or more virtual routers.

Virtual Router
A shared address between two devices utilizing VRRP, as defined in RFC 2338. One virtual router is associated with an IP interface. This is one of the IP interfaces that the switch is assigned. All IP interfaces on the Nortel Application Switch must be in a VLAN. If there is more than one VLAN defined on the Nortel Application Switch, then the VRRP broadcasts will only be sent out on the VLAN of which the associated IP interface is a member. Classic load balancing. Requests destined for a Virtual Server IP address (VIP), which is owned by the switch, are load balanced to a real server contained in the group associated with the VIP. Network address translation is done back and forth, by the switch, as requests come and go. Frames come to the switch destined for the VIP. The switch then replaces the VIP and with one of the real server IP addresses (RIP's), updates the relevant checksums, and forwards the frame to the server for which it is now destined. This process of replacing the destination IP (VIP) with one of the real server addresses is called half NAT. If the frames were not half NAT'ed to the address of one of the RIPs, a server would receive the frame that was destined for it's MAC address, forcing the packet up to Layer 3. The server would then drop the frame, since the packet would have the DIP of the VIP and not that of the server (RIP). In VRRP, a value between 1 and 255 that is used by each virtual router to create its MAC address and identify its peer for which it is sharing this VRRP address. The VRRP MAC address as defined in the RFC is 00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID}. If you have a VRRP address that two switches are sharing, then the VRID number needs to be identical on both switches so each virtual router on each switch knows whom to share with. A protocol that acts very similarly to Cisco's proprietary HSRP address sharing protocol. The reason for both of these protocols is so devices have a next hop or default gateway that is always available. Two or more devices sharing an IP interface are either advertising or listening for advertisements. These advertisements are sent via a broadcast message to an address such as 224.0.0.18. With VRRP, one switch is considered the master and the other the backup. The master is always advertising via the broadcasts. The backup switch is always listening for the broadcasts. Should the master stop advertising, the backup will take over ownership of the VRRP IP and MAC addresses as defined by the specification. The switch announces this change in ownership to the devices around it by way of a Gratuitous ARP, and advertisements. If the backup switch didn't do the Gratuitous ARP the Layer 2 devices attached to the switch would not know that the MAC address had moved in the network. For a more detailed description, refer to RFC 2338. A VRRP address that is a shared Virtual Server IP address. VSR is a Nortel proprietary extension to the VRRP specification. The switches must be able to share Virtual Server IP addresses, as well as IP interfaces. If they didnt, the two switches would fight for ownership of the Virtual Server IP address, and the ARP tables in the devices around them would have two ARP entries with the same IP address but different MAC addresses.
