ipx sap


Note Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S, XE 3.4, and 15.2(2)T, the ipx sap command is not supported in Cisco IOS software.


To specify static Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) entries, use the ipx sap command in global configuration mode. To remove static SAP entries, use the no form of this command.

ipx sap service-type name network.node socket hop-count

no ipx sap service-type name network.node socket hop-count

Syntax Description

service-type

SAP service-type number. See the access-list (SAP filtering) command earlier in this chapter for a table of some IPX SAP services.

name

Name of the server that provides the service.

network.node

Network number and node address of the server.

The argument network is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies a network cable segment. It can be a number in the range 1 to FFFFFFFD. You do not need to specify leading zeros in the network number. For example, for the network number 000000AA you can enter AA.

The argument node is the node number of the target Novell server. This is a 48-bit value represented by a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx).

socket

Socket number for this service. See access-list (IPX extended) command earlier in this chapter for a table of some IPX socket numbers.

hop-count

Number of hops to the server.

Usage Guidelines

The ipx sap command allows you to add static entries into the SAP table. Each entry has a SAP service associated with it. Static SAP assignments always override any identical entries in the SAP table that are learned dynamically, regardless of hop count. The router will not announce a static SAP entry unless it has a route to that network.

Examples

In the following example, the route to JOES_SERVER is not yet learned, so the system displays an informational message. The JOES_SERVER service will not be announced in the regular SAP updates until Cisco IOS software learns the route to it either by means of a RIP update from a neighbor or an ipx sap command.

ipx sap 107 MAILSERV 160.0000.0c01.2b72 8104 1
ipx sap 4 FILESERV 165.0000.0c01.3d1b 451 1

Usage Guidelines

In redundantly connected networks that use IPX-Enhanced IGRP routing in which multiple IPX paths exist, IPX SAP services can be learned on nonoptimal interfaces, causing SAP loops, also known as phantom SAPs, when those services become obsolete. Use the ipx sap follow-route-path command to prevent the occurrence of SAP loops.

When the ipx sap follow-route-path command is used, the router screens individual services (SAPs) in SAP updates. The router looks at the destination network number of each SAP entry's . If the receiving interface is one of the best interfaces to reach the destination network of the SAP, that SAP entry is accepted. Otherwise, the SAP entry is discarded.


Caution When the ipx sap follow-route-path command is globally enabled in conjunction with SAP input filters on interfaces that are considered the best paths to reach the destination networks, the SAPs that are being filtered will no longer be learned by the router, even if other less optimal interfaces are capable of receiving those SAP updates.

Examples

The following example enables the router to accept only the IPX SAP entries from SAP updates received on an interface deemed to be one of the best paths to the destination address of those SAPs:

ipx sap follow-route-path

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

To use the ipx sap-incremental command, you must enable Enhanced IGRP. This is the case even if you want to use only RIP routing. You must do this because the incremental SAP feature requires the Enhanced IGRP reliable transport mechanisms.

With this functionality enabled, if an IPX Enhanced IGRP peer is found on the interface, SAP updates will be sent only when a change occurs in the SAP table. Periodic SAP updates are not sent. When no IPX Enhanced IGRP peer is present on the interface, periodic SAPs are always sent, regardless of how this command is set.

If you configure the local router to send incremental SAP updates on an Ethernet, and if the local device has at least one IPX Enhanced IGRP neighbor and any servers, clients, or routers that do not have IPX Enhanced IGRP configured on the Ethernet interface, these devices will not receive complete SAP information from the local router.

If the incremental sending of SAP updates on an interface is configured and no IPX Enhanced IGRP peer is found, SAP updates will be sent periodically until a peer is found. Then, updates will be sent only when changes occur in the SAP table.

To take advantage of Enhanced IGRP's incremental SAP update mechanism while using the RIP routing protocol instead of the Enhanced IGRP routing protocol, specify the rsup-only keyword. SAP updates are then sent only when changes occur, and only changes are sent. Use this feature only when you want to use RIP routing; Cisco IOS software disables the exchange of route information via Enhanced IGRP for that interface.

Examples

The following example sends SAP updates on Ethernet interface 0 only when there is a change in the SAP table:

interface ethernet 0

Usage Guidelines


Caution For IPX incremental SAP split horizon to work properly, IPX Enhanced IGRP should
be turned on. Otherwise, a warning message like the following will be displayed:

%IPX EIGRP not running.

When split horizon is enabled, Enhanced IGRP incremental SAP update packets are not sent back to the same interface from where the SAP is received. This reduces the number of Enhanced IGRP packets on the network.

Split horizon blocks information about SAPs from being advertised by a router to the same interface from where that SAP is received. Typically, this behavior optimizes communication among multiple routers, particularly when links are broken. However, with nonbroadcast networks, such as Frame Relay and SMDS, situations can arise for which this behavior is less than ideal. For these situations, you may wish to disable split horizon.


Note IPX incremental SAP split horizon is off for WAN interfaces and subinterfaces, and on for LAN interfaces. The global default stays off. The interface setting takes precedence if the interface setting is modified or when both the global and interface settings are unmodified. The global setting is used only when global setting is modified and the interface setting is unmodified.

The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:

Usage Guidelines

By default, split horizon prevents information about periodic SAPs from being advertised by a router to the same interface in which the best route to that SAP is learned. However, in an instance where the SAP may be learned from interfaces other than, or in addition to, the interface on which the best route to that SAP is learned, using the ipx server-split-horizon-on-server-paths command may reduce the number of unnecessary periodic SAP updates. The reduction in the number of SAP updates occurs because each SAP will not be advertised on the interface or interfaces it was learned from. The reduction in the number of SAP updates will also prevent a potential SAP loop in the network.

Usage Guidelines

When split horizon is enabled, Enhanced IGRP update and query packets are not sent for destinations that have next hops on this interface. This reduces the number of Enhanced IGRP packets on the network.

Split horizon blocks information about routes from being advertised by Cisco IOS software to any interface from which that information originated. Typically, this behavior optimizes communication among multiple routers, particularly when links are broken. However, with nonbroadcast networks, such as Frame Relay and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), situations can arise for which this behavior is less than ideal. For these situations, you may wish to disable split horizon.

The following example disables split horizon on serial interface 0:

Usage Guidelines

This command sets the elapsed time in seconds after which spoofing of keepalive packets occurs, following the end of data transfer; that is, after the acknowledgment and sequence numbers of the data being transferred have stopped increasing. By default, SPX keepalive packets are sent from servers to clients every 15 to 20 seconds.

If you turn on SPX spoofing and you do not set an idle time, the default of 60 seconds is assumed. This means that the dialer idle time begins when SPX spoofing begins. For example, if the dialer idle time is 3 minutes, the elapse time before SPX spoofing begins is 4 minutes: 3 minutes of dialer idle time plus 1 minute of SPX spoofing idle time.

For this command to take effect, you must first use the ipx spx-spoof interface configuration command to enable SPX spoofing for the interface.

Examples

The following example enables spoofing on serial interface 0 and sets the idle timer to 300 seconds:

interface serial 0
 ipx spx-spoof 
 no ipx route-cache
 ipx spx-idle-time 300

Usage Guidelines

You can use the ipx spx-spoof command on any serial dialer or point-to-point interface. Fast switching and autonomous switching must be disabled on the interface; otherwise, SPX spoofing will not be permitted.

SPX keepalive packets are sent from servers to clients every 15 to 20 seconds after a client session has been idle for a certain period of time following the end of data transfer and after which only unsolicited acknowledgments are sent. The idle time may vary, depending on parameters set by the client and server.

Because of acknowledgment packets, a session would never go idle on a DDR link. On pay-per-packet or byte networks, these keepalive packets can incur for the customer large phone connection charges for idle time. You can prevent these calls from being made by configuring the software to respond to the server's keepalive packets on a remote client's behalf. This is sometimes referred to as "spoofing the server."

You can use the ipx spx-idle-time command to set the elapsed time in seconds after which spoofing of keepalive packets occurs, following the end of data transfer. If you turn on SPX spoofing and you do not set an idle time, the default of 60 seconds is assumed. This means that the dialer idle time begins when SPX spoofing begins. For example, if the dialer idle time is 3 minutes, the elapse time before the line goes "idle-spoofing" is 4 minutes: 3 minutes of dialer idle time plus 1 minute of SPX spoofing idle time.

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

The interpacket delay is the delay between the individual packets sent in a multiple-packet routing update. A triggered routing update is one that the system sends in response to a "trigger" event, such as a request packet, interface up/down, route up/down, or server up/down.

The ipx triggered-rip-delay command sets the interpacket delay for triggered routing updates sent on a single interface. The delay value set by this command overrides the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered routing updates sent on the interface.

If the delay value set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command is high, then we strongly recommend a low delay value for triggered routing updates so that updates triggered by special events are sent in a more timely manner than periodic routing updates.

Novell recommends a delay of 55 ms for compatibility with older and slower IPX machines. These machines may lose RIP updates because they process packets more slowly than the router sends them. The delay imposed by this command forces the router to pace its output to the slower-processing needs of these IPX machines.

The default delay on a NetWare 3.11 server is about 100 ms.

When you do not set the interpacket delay for triggered routing updates, the system uses the delay specified by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for both periodic and triggered routing updates.

When you use the no form of the ipx triggered-rip-delay command, the system uses the global default delay set by the ipx default-triggered-rip-delay command for triggered RIP updates, if it is set. If it is not set, the system uses the delay set by the ipx output-rip-delay or ipx default-output-rip-delay command for triggered RIP updates, if set. Otherwise, the system uses the initial default delay as described in the "Defaults" section.

This command is also useful on limited bandwidth point-to-point links, or X.25 and Frame Relay multipoint interfaces.

Examples

The following example sets an interpacket delay of 55 ms for triggered routing updates sent on interface FDDI 0:

interface FDDI 0

Usage Guidelines

The ipx type-20-helpered command disables the input and output of type 20 propagation packets as done by the ipx type-20-propagation interface configuration command.

The ipx type-20-propagation command broadcasts type 20 packets to all nodes on the network and imposes a hop-count limit of eight routers for broadcasting these packets. These functions are in compliance with the Novell IPX router specification. In contrast, the ipx type-20-helpered command broadcasts type 20 packets to only those nodes indicated by the ipx helper-address interface configuration command and extends the hop-count limit to 16 routers.

Use of the ipx type-20-helpered command does not comply with the Novell IPX router specification; however, you may need to use this command if you have a mixed internetwork that contains routers running Software Release 9.1 and routers running later versions of Cisco IOS software.

Specifically, the software will accept type 20 propagation packets only on the single network that is the primary route back to the source network. Similar packets received via other networks will be dropped. This behavior can be advantageous in redundant topologies, because it reduces unnecessary duplication of type 20 packets.

Additional input and output checks may be imposed by the ipx type-20-input-checks and
ipx type-20-output-checks commands.

IPX type 20 propagation packet broadcasts are subject to any filtering defined by the ipx helper-list command.

Examples

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

This command replaces two commands found in previous releases of Cisco IOS software: ipx sap-interval and ipx update-time.

Routers exchange information about routes by sending broadcast messages when they are started up and shut down, and periodically while they are running. The ipx update interval command enables you to modify the periodic update interval. By default, this interval is 60 seconds (this default is defined by Novell).

You should set RIP timers only in a configuration in which all routers are Cisco routers or in which all other IPX routers allow configurable timers. The timers should be the same for all devices connected to the same cable segment.

The update value you choose affects the internal IPX timers as follows:

IPX routes are marked invalid if no routing updates are heard within three times the value of the update interval and are advertised with a metric of infinity.

IPX routes are removed from the routing table if no routing updates are heard within four times the value of the update interval.

Setting the interval at which SAP updates are sent is most useful on limited-bandwidth links, such as slower-speed serial interfaces.

You should ensure that all IPX servers and routers on a given network have the same SAP interval. Otherwise, they may decide that a server is down when it is really up.

It is not possible to change the interval at which SAP updates are sent on most PC-based servers. This means that you should never change the interval for an Ethernet or Token Ring network that has servers on it.

You can set the router to send an update only when changes have occurred. Using the changes-only keyword specifies the sending of a SAP update only when the link comes up, when the link is downed administratively, or when the databases change. The changes-only keyword causes the router to do the following:

Send a single, full broadcast update when the link comes up.

Send appropriate triggered updates when the link is shut down.

Send appropriate triggered updates when specific service information changes.

Examples

The following example configures the update timers for RIP updates on two interfaces in a router:

interface serial 0
 ipx update interval rip 40
 
   
interface ethernet 0
 ipx update interval rip 20

The following example configures SAP updates to be sent (and expected) on serial interface 0 every 300 seconds (5 minutes) to reduce periodic update overhead on a slow-speed link:

interface serial 0
 ipx update interval sap 300

Usage Guidelines

The ipx update sap-after-rip command causes the router to issue a SAP update immediately following a RIP broadcast. This ensures that the SAP update follows the RIP broadcast, and that the SAP update is sent using the RIP update interval. It also ensures that the receiving router has learned the route to the service interface via RIP prior to getting the SAP broadcast.

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

This command allows the monitoring of NLSP adjacency state changes. Adjacency state monitoring can be very useful when monitoring large networks. Messages are logged using the system error message facility. Messages are of the form:

%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0000.0034 (Serial0) Up, new adjacency

%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0000.0034 (Serial0) Down, hold time expired

Messages regarding the use of NLSP multicast and broadcast addressing are also logged. For example, if broadcast addressing is in use on Ethernet interface 1.2, and the last neighbor requiring broadcasts goes down, the following messages will be logged:

%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0C34.D838 (Ethernet1.2) Down, hold time expired

%CLNS-5-MULTICAST: NLSP: Multicast address in use on Ethernet1.2

If multicast addressing is in use and a new neighbor that supports only broadcast addressing comes up, the following messages will be logged:

%CLNS-5-ADJCHANGE: NLSP: Adjacency to 0000.0C34.D838 (Ethernet1.2) Up, new adjacency

%CLNS-5-MULTICAST: NLSP Broadcast address is in use on Ethernet1.2

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

The lsp-gen-interval command controls the rate at which LSPs are generated on a per-LSP basis. For instance, if a link is changing state at a high rate, the default value of the LSP generation interval limits the signaling of this change to once every 5 seconds. Because the generation of an LSP may cause all routers in the area to perform the SPF calculation, controlling this interval may have area-wide impact. Raising this interval can reduce the load on the network imposed by a rapidly changing link.

Examples

The following example sets the minimum interval at which LSPs are generated to 10 seconds:

lsp-gen-interval 10

15.2(2)T

Usage Guidelines

You can increase the LSP MTU if there is a very large amount of information generated by a single router, because each device is limited to approximately 250 LSPs. In practice, this should never be necessary.

The LSP MTU must never be larger than the smallest MTU of any link in the area. This is because LSPs are flooded throughout the area.

The lsp-mtu command limits the size of LSPs generated by this router only; Cisco IOS software can receive LSPs of any size up to the maximum.

Examples

The following example sets the maximum LSP size to 1500 bytes:

lsp-mtu 1500

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

The refresh interval determines the rate at which Cisco IOS software periodically transmits the route topology information that it originates. This is done in order to keep the information from becoming too old. By default, the refresh interval is 2 hours.

LSPs must be periodically refreshed before their lifetimes expire. The refresh interval must be less than the LSP lifetime specified with the max-lsp-lifetime (IPX) router configuration command. Reducing the refresh interval reduces the amount of time that undetected link state database corruption can persist at the cost of increased link utilization. (This is an extremely unlikely event, however, because there are other safeguards against corruption.) Increasing the interval reduces the link utilization caused by the flooding of refreshed packets (although this utilization is very small).

Examples

The following example changes the LSP refresh interval to 10,800 seconds (3 hours):

lsp-refresh-interval 10800

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

The hours keyword enables the router to interpret the maximum lifetime field in hours, allowing the router to keep LSPs for a much longer time. Keeping LSPs longer reduces overhead on slower-speed serial links and keeps ISDN links from becoming active unnecessarily.

You might need to adjust the maximum LSP lifetime if you change the LSP refresh interval with the lsp-refresh-interval (IPX) router configuration command. The maximum LSP lifetime must be greater than the LSP refresh interval.

Examples

The following example sets the maximum time that the LSP persists to 11,000 seconds (more than 3 hours):

max-lsp-lifetime 11000
 
   

The following example sets the maximum time that the LSP persists to 15 hours:

Usage Guidelines

Keep the following points in mind when configuring IPX NetBIOS access control:

Host (node) names are case-sensitive.

Host and byte access lists can have the same names. They are independent of each other.

When filtering by node name for IPX NetBIOS, the names in the access lists are compared with the destination name field for IPX NetBIOS "find name" requests.

When filtering by byte offset, note that these access filters can have a significant impact on the packets' transmission rate across the bridge because each packet must be examined. You should use these access lists only when absolutely necessary.

If a node name is not found in an access list, the default action is to deny access.

These filters apply only to IPX NetBIOS FindName packets. They have no effect on LLC2 NetBIOS packets.

To delete an IPX NetBIOS access list, specify the minimum number of keywords and arguments needed to delete the proper list. For example, to delete the entire list, use the following command:

no netbios access-list {host | bytes} name

To delete a single entry from the list, use the following command:

no netbios access-list host name {permit | deny} string

Examples

The following example defines the IPX NetBIOS access list engineering:

netbios access-list host engineering permit eng-ws1 eng-ws2 eng-ws3
 
   

The following example removes a single entry from the engineering access list:

netbios access-list host engineering deny eng-ws3
 
   

The following example removes the entire engineering NetBIOS access list:

no netbios access-list host engineering

Usage Guidelines

The prc-interval command controls how often Cisco IOS software can performs a partial route (PRC) calculation. The PRC calculation is processor-intensive. Therefore, it may be useful to limit how often this is done, especially on slower router models. Increasing the PRC interval reduces the processor load of the router, but potentially slows down the rate of convergence.

This command is analogous to the spf-interval command, which controls the hold-down period between shortest path first calculations.

Examples

The following example sets the PRC calculation interval to 20 seconds:

rip

Specifies the RIP protocol. You can configure only one RIP process on the router. Thus, you cannot redistribute RIP into RIP.

static

Specifies static routes.

access-list name

(Optional) Name of the access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark, and must begin with an alphabetic character to prevent ambiguity with numbered access lists.

Usage Guidelines

Redistribution provides for routing information generated by one protocol to be advertised in another.

The only connected routes affected by this redistribute command are the routes not specified by the network command.

If you have enabled floating static routes by specifying the floating keyword in the ipx route global configuration command and you redistribute floating static routes into a dynamic IPX routing protocol, any nonhierarchical topology causes the floating static destination to be redistributed immediately via a dynamic protocol back to the originating router, causing a routing loop. This occurs because dynamic protocol information overrides floating static routes. For this reason, automatic redistribution of floating static routes is off by default. If you redistribute floating static routes, you should specify filters to eliminate routing loops.

Enhanced IGRP version 1.1 environments

RIP version 1.1 environments

Examples

The following example does not redistributes RIP routing information:

ipx router eigrp 222
 no redistribute rip

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

When route summarization is disabled, all routes redistributed into an NLSP area will be explicit routes.

When route summarization is enabled, the router uses the access list associated with the redistribute command (if one exists) for the routing process associated with each route as a template for route summarization. Explicit routes that match a range denied by the access list trigger generation of an aggregated route instead. Routes permitted by the access list are redistributed as explicit routes.

If no access list exists, the router instead uses the area address (if one exists) of the routing process associated with each route as a template for route summarization. Explicit routes that match the area address trigger generation of an aggregated route instead.


Note Because an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing process cannot have an area address, it is not possible to generate aggregated routes without the use of an access list.


Examples

The following example enables route summarization between two NLSP areas. Route summarization is based on the area addresses configured for each area.

ipx routing
ipx internal-network 123
!
interface ethernet 1
 ipx nlsp area1 enable

Number of successors. This number corresponds to the number of next hops in the IPX routing table.

FD

Feasible distance. This value is used in the feasibility condition check. If the neighbor's reported distance (the metric after the slash) is less than the feasible distance, the feasibility condition is met and that path is a feasible successor. Once the router determines it has a feasible successor, it does not have to send a query for that destination.

replies

Number of replies that are still outstanding (have not been received) with respect to this destination. This information appears only when the destination is in Active state.

state

Exact Enhanced IGRP state that this destination is in. It can be the number 0, 1, 2, or 3. This information appears only when the destination is Active.

via

IPX address of the peer who told Cisco IOS software about this destination. The first n of these entries, where n is the number of successors, are the current successors. The remaining entries on the list are feasible successors.

(345088/319488)

The first number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that represents the cost to the destination. The second number is the Enhanced IGRP metric that this peer advertised.

Ethernet0

Interface from which this information was learned.

Usage Guidelines

When you specify an NLSP tag, the router displays the link-state packet database entries for that NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers are always in the same area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.

NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage an adjacencies, link-state, and area address database for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.

Configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.


Note NLSP version 1.1 routers refer to routers that support the route aggregation feature, while NLSP version 1.0 routers refer to routers that do not.


If you omit all options, a summary display is shown.

Usage Guidelines

When you specify an NLSP tag value, the router displays the NLSP neighbors for that NLSP process. An NLSP process is a router's databases working together to manage route information about an area. NLSP version 1.0 routers must be in a single area. Each router has its own adjacencies, link-state, and forwarding databases. These databases operate collectively as a single process to discover, select, and maintain route information about the area. NLSP version 1.1 routers that exist within a single area also use a single process.

NLSP version 1.1 routers that interconnect multiple areas use multiple processes to discover, select, and maintain route information about the areas they interconnect. These routers manage adjacencies, link-state, and area address databases for each area to which they attach. Collectively, these databases are still referred to as a process. The forwarding database is shared among processes within a router. The sharing of entries in the forwarding database is automatic when all processes interconnect NLSP version 1.1 areas.

You must configure multiple NLSP processes when a router interconnects multiple NLSP areas.


Note NLSP version 1.1 routers refer to routers that support the route aggregation feature, while NLSP version 1.0 routers refer to routers that do not.


If you omit the keyword detail, a summary display is shown.

Examples

The following command output from the show ipx nlsp neighbors command shows a summary display of three adjacencies on two circuits:

Router# show ipx nlsp neighbors
 
   
System Id  Interface  State  Holdtime  Priority  Cir  Adj  Circuit Id
dtp-37     Et1.2      Up     21        64        mc   mc   dtp-37.03
dtp-37     Et1.1      Up     58        44        bc   mc   dtp-17.02
dtp-17     ET1.1      Up     27        64        bc   bc   dtp-17.02
 
   

This display indicates the following information about the first circuit (Circuit Id = dtp-37.03):

Multicast addressing is in use (Cir = mc).

The neighbor supports multicast addressing (Adj = mc).

This display indicates the following information about the second circuit (Circuit Id = dtp-17.02):

The broadcast address is in use (Cir = bc).

The first neighbor (System Id = dtp-37) supports multicast addressing (Adj = mc).

The second neighbor (System Id = dtp-17) does not support multicast addressing (Adj = bc). This adjacency explains why the broadcast address is in use on the second circuit.

The following is sample output from the show ipx nlsp neighbors detail command:

Router# show ipx nlsp neighbors detail
 
   
System Id       Interface  State  Holdtime  Priority  Cir  Adj  Circuit Id
0000.0C01.EF90  Ethernet1  Up     25        64        mc   mc   0000.0C01.EF90.0C

Directly connected primary network.

 c - connected secondary     network

Directly connected secondary network.

 S - Static

Statically defined route via the ipx route command.

 R - RIP

Route learned from a RIP update.

 E - EIGRP

Route learned from an Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP) update.

 W - IPXWAN

Directly connected route determined via IPXWAN.

8 Total IPX routes

Number of routes in the IPX routing table.

No parallel paths allowed

Maximum number of parallel paths for which the Cisco IOS software has been configured with the ipx maximum-paths command.

Novell routing algorithm variant in use

Indicates whether Cisco IOS software is using the IPX-compliant routing algorithms (default).

Net 1

Network to which the route goes.

[3/2]

Delay/Metric. Delay is the number of IBM clock ticks (each tick is 1/18 seconds) reported to the destination network. Metric is the number of hops reported to the same network. Delay is used as the primary routing metric, and the metric (hop count) is used as a tie breaker.

via network.node

Address of a router that is the next hop to the remote network.

age

Amount of time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) that has elapsed since information about this network was last received.

uses

Number of times this network has been looked up in the route table. This field is incremented when a packet is process-switched, even if the packet is eventually filtered and not sent. As such, this field represents a fair estimate of the number of times a route gets used.

Ethernet0

Interface through which packets to the remote network will be sent.

(NOVELL-ETHER)

Encapsulation (frame) type. This is shown only for directly connected networks.

is directly connected

Indicates that the network is directly connected to the router.


When Cisco IOS software generates an aggregated route, the show ipx route command displays a line item similar to the following:

NA      1000 FFFFF000 [**][**/06] via        0.0000.0000.0000,  163s, Nu0
 
   

In the following example, the router that sends the aggregated route also generates the aggregated route line item in its table. But the entry in the table points to the null interface (Nu0), indicating that if this aggregated route is the most-specific route when a packet is being forwarded, the router drops the packet instead.

15.2(2)T

This command was modified. Support was removed for the Novell IPX protocol.


Usage Guidelines

SPF calculations are performed only when the topology changes. They are not performed when external routes change.

The spf-interval command controls how often Cisco IOS software performs the SPF calculation. The SPF calculation is processor-intensive. Therefore, it may be useful to limit how often this is done, especially when the area is large and the topology changes often. Increasing the SPF interval reduces the processor load of the router, but potentially slows down the rate of convergence.

The following description will help you determine whether to change the default values of this command:

The spf-initial-wait argument indicates the initial wait time (in milliseconds) after a topology change before the first SPF calculation.

The spf-second-wait argument indicates the interval (in milliseconds) between the first and second SPF calculation.

Each subsequent wait interval is twice as long as the previous one until the wait interval reaches the spf-max-wait interval specified; the SPF calculations are throttled or slowed down after the initial and second intervals. Once the spf-max-wait interval is reached, the wait interval continues at this interval until the network calms down.

After the network calms down and there are no triggers for 2 times the spf-max-wait interval, fast behavior is restored (the initial wait time).

SPF throttling is not a dampening mechanism; that is, SPF throttling does not prevent SPF calculations or mark any route, interface, or router as down. SPF throttling simply increases the intervals between SPF calculations.

Examples

The following example configures intervals for SPF calculations, partial route calculation (PRC), and link-state packet (LSP) generation:

router isis
 spf-interval 5 10 20
 prc-interval 5 10 20
 lsp-gen-interval 2 50 100
