Configure IP Multicast config-lite for Fabric Connect

Before you begin

Create a VLAN. For more information see, VLAN Configuration using EDM

About this task

You can enable SPB Multicast on that VLAN without configuring an IP address.

Note

Note

If a VRF with the same I-SID already exists on the device, the VLAN is associated with the existing VRF when you enter mvpn-isid on the VLAN.

Note

Note

You cannot have an IP address and mvpn-isid configured on the same VLAN at the same time.

Advanced Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Advanced tab.

Name

Description

Id

Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4059. By default, VLAN IDs 1 to 4059 are configurable and the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1.

Name

Specifies the name of the VLAN.

IfIndex

Specifies the logical interface index assigned to the VLAN.

Type

Specifies the type of VLAN:

  • byPort

  • byProtocolId

  • spbm-bvlan

  • private

Isid

Specifies the Service Instance Identifier (I-SID) number assigned to a customer VLAN (C-VLAN). The default value is 0, which indicates that no I-SID is assigned.

Isid Name

Specifies the name of the I-SID.

Origin

Specifies the origin of the VLAN configuration, either manually configured through CLI or SNMP, or dynamically configured through RADIUS VSA or Zero Touch Fabric Configuration.

ProtocolId

Specifies the network protocol for protocol-based VLANs.

If the VLAN type is not protocol-based, a value of None displays in the Basic tab ProtocolId field.

AgingTime

Specifies the timeout period for dynamic VLAN membership. A potential VLAN port is made ACTIVE after it receives a packet that matches the VLAN; if no such packet is received for AgingTime seconds, the port is no longer active. The default is 600.

MacAddress

Specifies the MAC address assigned to the virtual router interface for this VLAN. This field is relevant only after the VLAN is configured for routing. This MAC address is used as the Source MAC in routed frames and ARP replies.

Vlan Operation Action

Performs an operation on the VLAN. The values are:

  • none

  • flushMacFdb: Configures action to flushMacFdb. This action removes the learned MAC addresses from the forwarding database for the selected VLAN.

  • flushArp: Configures action to flushArp. This action removes the ARP entries from the address table for the selected VLAN.

  • flushIp: Configures action to flushIp. This action removes the learned IP addresses from the forwarding table for the selected VLAN.

  • flushDynMemb: Configures action to flushDynMemb. This action removes port members not configured as static from the list of active port members of a policy-based VLAN and removes MAC addresses learned on those ports.

  • all: Configures action to all. This action performs all the supported actions; it does not perform the Snoop-related actions.

The default is none.

Result

Specifies the result code after you perform an action.

NlbMode

Enables or disables Microsoft Network Load Balancing (NLB) operations on the VLAN. The default is disabled.

SpbMulticast

Enables or disables IP Multicast over Fabric Connect. The default is disabled.

SpbPimGatewayMulticast

Enables or disables SPB-PIM Gateway Multicast on a VLAN. The default is disabled.

RmonEnable

Enables or disables Remote Monitoring (RMON) on the interface. The default is disabled.

Ipv6FhsSnoopDhcpEnable

Enables or disables IPv6 dhcp snooping on a VLAN. The default is disabled.

Ipv6FhsNDInspectionEnable

Enables or disables neighbor discovery (ND) inspection on a VLAN. The default is disabled.

DvrEnable

Enables or disables Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR) on a VLAN that is configured on the DvR Controller. The default is disabled.

Note:

You must enable DvR on every VLAN that is configured on a DvR Controller.

DvrGwIpv4Addr

Specifies the DvR gateway IPv4 address for a VLAN.

Important:

Ensure that you configure the same gateway IPv4 address on all Controllers in the DvR domain that belong to a VLAN.

DvrGwIpv4OneIp

Enables or disables the DvR One IP for a VLAN. The default is disabled (false).

DvrVrrpElection

Identifies the DvR VLAN, and associated I-SID, to become the primary Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) router through the election process.

You can identify only one VLAN for election per DvR Controller.

By default, no VLAN is configured as the DvR VRRP election VLAN.

MvpnIsidValue

Configures the MVPN I-SID value for the VLAN.

MvpnIsidStatus

Identifies the MVPN I-SID status.

  • static—VRF was created by configuring an MVPN I-SID on a VLAN through CLI and EDM
  • dynamic—VRF was created by configuring an MVPN I-SID on a VLAN through RADIUS
  • notConfigured—MVPN I-SID is not configured on a VLAN.
MvpnIsidOffset

Allows you to add an offset parameter to the MVPN I-SID. This is an optional value and the range is 0-511.

Interface Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Interface tab.

Name

Description

IfIndex

Shows the interface where IGMP is enabled.

QueryInterval

Configures the frequency (in seconds) at which the interface transmits IGMP host query packets. The default is 125.

Status

Shows the IGMP row status. If an interface uses an IP address and PIM-SM is enabled, the status is active. Otherwise, it is notInService.

Version

Configures the version of IGMP (1, 2, or 3) that you want to configure on this interface. For IGMP to function correctly, all routers on a LAN must use the same version. The default is version 2.

OperVersion

Shows the version of IGMP that currently runs on this interface.

Querier

Shows the address of the IGMP querier on the IP subnet to which this interface attaches.

QueryMaxResponseTime

Configures the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) advertised in IGMPv2 general queries on this interface. You cannot configure this value for IGMPv1.

Smaller values enable a router to prune groups faster. The default is 100 tenths of a second (equal to 10 seconds.)

Important:

You must configure this value lower than the QueryInterval.

WrongVersionQueries

Shows the number of queries received with an IGMP version that does not match the interface. You must configure all routers on a LAN to run the same version of IGMP. If the interface receives queries with the wrong version, this value indicates a version mismatch.

Joins

Shows the number of times this interface added a group membership, which is the same as the number of times an entry for this interface is added to the cache table. This number gives an indication of the amount of IGMP activity over time.

Robustness

Tunes for the expected packet loss of a network. This value is equal to the number of expected query packet losses for each serial query interval, plus 1. If you expect a network to lose query packets, increase the robustness value.

The default value of 2 means that the switch drops one query for each query interval without the querier aging out.

LastMembQueryIntvl

Configures the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) inserted into group-specific queries sent in response to leave group messages. This value is also the time between group-specific query messages. You cannot configure this value for IGMPv1.

Decrease the value to reduce the time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. The range is from 0–255 and the default is 10 tenths of second. As a best practice, configure this parameter to values greater than 3. If you do not need a fast leave process, you can configure values greater than 10. (The value 3 is equal to 0.3 seconds and 10 is equal to 1 second.)

OtherQuerierPresent Timeout

Shows the length of time that must pass before a multicast router determines that no other querier exists. If the local router is the querier, the value is 0.

FlushAction

Configures the flush action to one of the following:
  • none

  • flushGrpMem

  • flushMrouter

  • flushSender

RouterAlertEnable

Instructs the router to ignore IGMP packets that do not contain the router alert IP option. If you disable this variable (default configuration), the router processes IGMP packets regardless of the status of the router alert IP option.

Important:

To maximize network performance, configure this parameter according to the version of IGMP currently in use.

  • IGMPv1—Disable

  • IGMPv2—Enable

  • IGMPv3—Enable

SsmSnoopEnable

Enables SSM snoop.

SnoopQuerierEnable

Enables IGMP Layer 2 Querier.

SnoopQuerierAddr

Specifies the pseudo address of the IGMP snoop querier.

ExplicitHostTrackingEnable

Enables or disables IGMPv3 to track hosts for each channel or group. The default is disabled. You must select this field if you want to use fast leave for IGMPv3.

McastMode

Indicates the protocol configured on the VLAN.

  • snoop — Indicates IGMP snooping is enabled on a VLAN.

  • snoop-spb — Indicates IGMP is enabled on a VLAN with an associated I-SID (IP multicast over Fabric Connect for a Layer 2 VSN).

  • pim — Indicates PIM is enabled.

  • routed-spb — Indicates IP multicast over Fabric Connect is enabled on the Layer 3 VSN or for IP Shortcuts.

ExtnUpnpFilterEnable

Enables Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) Filtering to filter multicast packets destined for a specific range.

The default is disabled.

ExtnUpnpFilterAddress

Indicates the multicast destination IP address to filter on an IGMP-enabled interface.

The default is 239.255.255.250/32.

ExtnUpnpFilterAddressMask

Indicates the IGMP uPnP Filtering IP subnet to which this interface is attached.

SnoopOrigin

Specifies the origin of IGMP Snooping configuration on the port. The supported values are:

  • config - Set by the user.

  • radius - Set by the Remote Authentication Dail-In User Service (RADIUS) attribute.

ExtnRoutedSpbQuerierAddr

Specifies the IP address of the SPB querier.
