Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping

The Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping feature binds all traffic on a Layer 3 ingress interface to a security group tag (SGT). Once this mapping is implemented, Cisco TrustSec can use the SGT to segregate traffic from various logical Layer 3 ingress interfaces.

Information About Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping

Interface-to-SGT Mapping

The mapping between interfaces and security group tags (SGTs) is used to map SGTs to traffic of any of the following logical Layer 3 ingress interfaces, regardless of the underlying physical interface:

  • Layer 3 (routed) Ethernet interfaces

  • Layer 3 (routed) Ethernet 802.1Q subinterfaces

  • Tunnel interfaces

The configured SGT tag is assigned to all traffic on the Layer 3 ingress interface and can be used for inline tagging and policy enforcement.

Binding Source Priorities

Cisco TrustSec resolves conflicts among IP address to security group tag (IP-SGT) binding sources with a strict priority scheme. The current priority enforcement order, from lowest to highest, is as follows:

  1. CLI—Bindings configured using the cts role-based sgt-map sgt command.

  2. L3IF—Bindings added due to FIB forwarding entries that have paths through one or more interfaces with consistent Layer 3 Interface to SGT (L3IF-SGT) mapping or identity port mapping on routed ports.

  3. SXP—Bindings learned from SGT Exchange Protocol (SXP) peers.

  4. INTERNAL—Bindings between locally configured IP addresses and the devices own SGT.

How to Configure Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping

Configuring Layer 3 Interface-to-SGT Mapping

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. interface type slot/port
  4. cts role-based sgt-map sgt sgt-number
  5. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:

Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface type slot/port

Example:

Device(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0

Configures an interface and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 4

cts role-based sgt-map sgt sgt-number

Example:

Device(config-if)# cts role-based sgt-map sgt 77
An SGT is imposed on ingress traffic to the specified interface.

  • sgt-number —Specifies the security group tag (SGT) number. Valid values are from 2 to 65519.

Step 5

end

Example:

Device(config-if)# end

Exits interface configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Verifying Layer 3 Interface-to-SGT Mapping

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. show cts role-based sgt-map all

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Example:


Device> enable
Step 2

show cts role-based sgt-map all

Displays the security group tag (SGT) mapping for the ingress traffic on the Layer 3 interface.

Example:

The following sample output from the show cts role-based sgt-map all command shows that once the Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping feature is implemented, the traffic on the ingress interface is tagged appropriately with Layer 3 interface (L3IF). The output displays the priority scheme of the IP address to security group tag (IP-SGT) binding sources (for more information about the IP-SGT binding source priorities, see the “Binding Source Priorities” section). 

Device# show cts role-based sgt-map all

IP Address              SGT     Source 
============================================ 
192.0.2.1               4       INTERNAL

192.0.2.10/8            3       L3IF 
192.0.2.20              5       CLI 
198.51.100.1            4       INTERNAL 
IP-SGT Active Bindings Summary 
============================================ 
Total number of CLI      bindings = 1 
Total number of L3IF     bindings = 2
Total number of INTERNAL bindings = 2 
Total number of active   bindings = 5

Configuration Examples for Cisco TrustSec Interface-to-SGT Mapping

Example: Configuring Layer 3 Interface-to-SGT Mapping

The following example shows the security group tag (SGT) mapping configuration for the Layer 3 ingress interface: 


Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
Device(config-if)# cts role-based sgt-map sgt 77
Device(config-if)# end
