A9K-RSP440 SFP+ ports

>> So I am guessing they are normal ports which can be configured to be cluster ports and could used normally to link up to rest of the network?

>

They are not, as far as I’m aware. Very much the opposite to 6500/7600supervisors. Certainly there are no ‘interfaces’ that I can configure on RSP-440!

Correct, they are only for nV clustering, and control-plane only at that.  You still need to use line card 10G ports for data plane clustering.

Cisco 6500-E and Modules

1- As far as I understood, If we use SUP-2T on C6513-E, the Fabric Switch Capacity will be 80Gbps(2x40Gbps Channels). Is this correct?

yes in 11 slots

2- We can install WS-x6748-SFP on this setup with DFC4. Is this Correct?

Yes

3- Can we install WS-x6708-10G on this setup with DFC4 or Not?

6708 does not have DFC4 or CFC modes, so is not compatible with sup2t, you can use ws-6908-10g.

4- If no then can we use WS-x6716-10G with DFC4?

Yes

C6708-10GE-3CXL Local Switching:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/cisco/nsp/145906

 

Only 69xx modules  are  40 or more  per channel, all the 67xx and the upgraded 67xx ones with dfc4 (rebadged to 68xx) will still be 20 per channel, the DFC does not matter, the fabric asic and hardware on the older modules is all 20g per channel (40g total on dual channel cards).

Cisco EEM

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/eem/command/eem-cr-book/eem-cr-e1.html#wp2241131084

A state is not an event.
A state *change* is an event.

ip sla 1

  vrf GREEN
  tag SITE-DOWN

ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now !
event manager applet SITE-DOWN
  description Site 1.1.1.1 is down
  event ipsla operation-id 1
  action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "ALERT: Site 1.1.1.1 is down"
!

And here is what I see when I look the status of the IP SLA entry and the EEM entry.  IP SLA looks fine, the EEM isn’t triggering despite being registered.

MPLS and links with limited MTU size

When deal with Mtu issues on all out site to site vpn.  Gre plus IPSec plus other uses up 60 to 90 bytes.

There are some good docs on cisco site. Standard solution for tcp flows is, … for the constrained or tunnel int.

"IP Mtu 1400"
"IP tcp adjust-mss 1360"

This will cause the tcp 3way setup to negotiate a 1360byte mss which then fits into the 1500 byte max physical Mtu size.

In theory, setting the Mtu to 1400 will also cause the pmtu discovery process to auto adjust as well.  This is hit or miss, depending on stack and if icmp is being filtered in the path.

Windows tries hard to guess the Mtu and usually sets the do not frag bit on most packets.   The above usually works. But we often find some non-tcp app defaults to 1500 bytes anyway.  Since windows sends it with do not frag, the router drops it. To fix this use a route-map to clear the DF bit.  I only do this for udp now.  Seems a good compromise.

All this would be done on your Cpe or other edge router. Tunnelled ddos mitigation vendors also do this to avoid Mtu issues.

IP-SLA

 

You are missing a bit more specifics on your event definition… It just doesn’t match a reaction event from IP SLA.

 

If you look here:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/eem/command/eem-cr-book/eem-cr-e1.html#wp2241131084

 

You can see that there are quite a few options to set what exactly you want to trigger on with regards to IP SLA.

I think you have to define reactions or triggers to match on IP SLA related events (events being state transitions… up to down, down to up, threshold limits, etc)

 

To be honest, I got best results from EEM and IP SLA by EEM matching on the syslog messages IP SLA produces…

something like this could get you started, Gert?

 

1) Trigger based on SNMP interface error counters.

Rate is always calculated per second. Average factor identifies number of data points (one for each poll-interval) will be averaged for calculation of rate. Average factor needs to be a minimum of 2.

 

event manager applet INTERFACE-ERROS trap event snmp oid ifEntry.14.XX get-type exact entry-op ge entry-val 10 entry-type rate average-factor 2 poll-interval 5 action 20.0 syslog msg “disabling Gigxxx due to errors”

action 30.0 cli command “enable”

action 30.1 cli command “config terminal”

action 40.0 cli command “interface Gig XX”

action 50.0 cli command “ip ospf cost 9999”

action 60.0 cli command “end”

 

and a reverse to reduce the cost back in case error rates falls below a threshold?

 

you can also trigger based on IP-SLA, for example below trigger

 

2) Trigger based on RTT delay mib:

Use RTT delay mib associated with RTR probes to trigger when the delay is too long. rttMonLatestJitterOperRTTSum shows the sum of delays for probes sent during the last interval. By default 10 probes are sent. To trigger on 10ms RTT delay trigger value must be set below 100.

 

event manager applet TEST3-SNMP-RTT-Delay trap event snmp oid rttMonLatestJitterOperRTTSum.1 get-type exact entry-op ge entry-val 90 entry-type value exit-op le exit-val 20 poll-interval 10 […]

 

for Ethernet OAM/CFM, you could hook EEM into the syslog messages produced by the syslog? You can also parse the syslog string using regexp, check the applet I found somewhere:

 

event manager applet TunnelLost

event syslog occurs 1 pattern “OSPF-5-ADJCHG.*on Tunnel.*FULL to DOWN”

period 1

action 100 regexp “on (Tunnel[0-9]+) from” “$_syslog_msg” match ifname  action 200 if $_regexp_result eq 1  action 210  cli command “show interface $ifname | include Description:”

 

ASR920 – Rosen-VPN

Just to avoid the confusion regarding MVPN profiles in the future Cause NG-MVPN could be RSVP or mLDP based and there is Rosen in there as well So I suggest using descriptions:

 

Rosen-mGRE profiles (profiles- 0, 3,11)

Rosen-mLDP profiles (profiles- 1,9, 12, 13,17) mLDP profiles (profiles- 2,4,5,14,15) inband mLDP profiles (profiles- 6,7)

 

List of profiles:

Profile 0 Default MDT – GRE – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 1 Default MDT – MLDP  MP2MP  PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 2 Partitioned MDT – MLDP MP2MP – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 3 Default MDT – GRE – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 4 Partitioned MDT – MLDP MP2MP – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 5 Partitioned MDT – MLDP P2MP – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 6 VRF MLDP – In-Band Signaling Profile 7 Global MLDP In-band Signaling Profile 8 Global Static – P2MP-TE Profile 9 Default MDT – MLDP – MP2MP – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 10 VRF Static – P2MP TE – BGP-AD Profile 11 Default MDT – GRE – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling Profile 12 Default MDT –  MLDP – P2MP – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling Profile 13 Default MDT – MLDP – MP2MP – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling Profile 14 Partitioned MDT – MLDP P2MP – BGP-AD – BGP C-mast Signaling Profile 15 Partitioned MDT – MLDP MP2MP – BGP-AD – BGP C-mast Signaling Profile 16 Default MDT Static – P2MP TE – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling Profile 17 Default MDT – MLDP – P2MP – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 18 Default Static MDT – P2MP TE – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 19 Default MDT – IR – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 20 Default MDT – P2MP-TE – BGP-AD – PIM – C-mcast Signaling Profile 21 Default MDT – IR – BGP-AD – BGP – C-mcast Signaling Profile 22 Default MDT – P2MP-TE – BGP-AD BGP – C-mcast Signaling Profile 23 Partitioned MDT – IR – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 24 Partitioned MDT – P2MP-TE – BGP-AD – PIM C-mcast Signaling Profile 25 Partitioned MDT –  IR – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling Profile 26 Partitioned MDT – P2MP TE – BGP-AD – BGP C-mcast Signaling

Summary of Supported MVPN Profiles

 

draft rosen model, as stated here for IOS XE 3.17

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr920/release/notes/ASR920_rel_notes/new_features.html#pgfId-1085169

protected port

you could simply use the “protected port” feature.

Devices connected to a Protected port are not able to talk to each other, even if they are within the same vlan.

 

conf t

int gi 0/1

switchport mode access

switchport acess vlan x

switchport protected

spanning-tree portfast

 

The protected port feature only works local on a switch while private vlans could span over multiple switches. Much easier then configure private vlans and should work for your use case just fine

ASR1k Port-channel hash algo

Does the ASR1K not support layer-4 port # hash (src/dst IP + tcp ports) for port-channel load balancing?

All I can see that can be configured is src/dst IP:

 

asr1k(config)#port-channel load-balance-hash-algo ?

dst-ip       Destination IP

dst-mac      Destination MAC

src-dst-ip   Source XOR Destination IP Addr

src-dst-mac  Source XOR Destination MAC

src-ip       Source IP

src-mac      Source MAC

 

 

asr1k#sh etherchan load | in channel

Port-channel1                   :  flow-based (Source Destination IP)

 

Should be flow-based by default (just don’t configure anything else):

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/lanswitch/configuration/xe-3s/asr1000/lanswitch-xe-3s-asr1000-book/lnsw-flow-portchannel-load.html

 

Cisco netwerk overnames

Insieme is the skunkworks venture Cisco backed group they use for some new tech.   These guys operate outside Cisco and develop Product to eventually be bought / acquired.

 

Nx9k is the latest example.   I’m told the original catalyst and cat5k were similar.

No, the Catalysts were external acquisitions. Low end stuff like the 1900 came from Grand Junction, the 3K was Kalpana, and the 5K & 6K Crescendo.
