Page 36: Convergence
The number of paths used is limited by the number of entries that the routing protocol puts in the routing table. Cisco NX-OS supports up to 16 paths to a destination.

Page 38: Routing Algorithms
BGP is an example of an exterior gateway protocol. Routing protocols used within an autonomous system are called interior gateway protocols or intradomain protocols. EIGRP and OSPF are examples of interior gateway protocols. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...
Page 39: Distance Vector Protocols
However, link-state algorithms require more CPU power and memory than distance vector algorithms. Link-state algorithms can be more expensive to implement and support. Link-state protocols are generally more scalable than distance vector protocols. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...

VRF. A VRF belongs to one VDC. Each VDC can support multiple VRFs. For more information, Chapter 14, “Configuring Layer 3 Virtualization.” See to the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide, Release 4.x for details on VDCs.
Page 41: Unicast Rib
• Hardware Forwarding, page 1-12 Software Forwarding, page 1-12 • Unicast RIB The Cisco NX-OS forwarding architecture consists of multiple components, as shown in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 Cisco NX-OS Forwarding Architecture The unicast RIB exists on the active supervisor. It maintains the routing table with directly connected routes, static routes, and routes learned from dynamic unicast routing protocols.
Page 42: Unicast Forwarding Distribution Module
Software Forwarding The software forwarding path in Cisco NX-OS is used mainly to handle features that are not supported in hardware or to handle errors encountered during hardware processing. Typically, packets with IP options or packets that need fragmentation are passed to the CPU on the active supervisor. All packets that should be switched in software or terminated go to the supervisor.
Page 43: Summary Of Layer 3 Unicast Routing Features
Link information consists of the link type, the link metric, and the neighbor router connected to the link. The advertisements that contain this link information are called link-state advertisements. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Configuring OSPFv2.” Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x 1-13 OL-20002-02...
Page 44: Eigrp
The EIGRP protocol is a unicast routing protocol that has the characteristics of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols. It is an improved version of IGRP, which is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol. EIGRP relies on its neighbors to provide the routes, typical to a distance vector routing protocol.
Page 45: Layer 3 Virtualization
NX-OS supports Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs) which allow you to create separate virtual systems within a Cisco NX-OS system. Each VDC is isolated from the others, which means that a problem in one VDC does not affect any other VDCs. VDCs are also secure from the other. You can assign separate network operators to each VDC and these network operators cannot control or view the configuration of a different VDC.

ARP to obtain the MAC address of the destination device and delivers the packet. ARP is enabled by default. In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4) and later, the default system-defined CoPP policy rate-limits ARP broadcast packets bound for the supervisor module. The default system-defined CoPP policy prevents an ARP broadcast storm from affecting the control plane traffic, but does not affect bridged packets.
Page 52: Devices That Do Not Use Arp
Each server must be configured with a table of static mappings between the hardware addresses and • IP addresses. Maintenance of the IP addresses is difficult. RARP only provides IP addresses of the hosts and not subnet masks or default gateways. • Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...
Page 53: Proxy Arp
Gratuitous ARP Gratuitous ARP sends a request with identical source IP address and destination IP address to detect duplicate IP addresses. Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0(3) and later releases support enabling or disabling gratuitous ARP requests or ARP cache updates. ICMP You can use ICMP to provide message packets that report errors and other information that is relevant to IP processing.

Page 99: Information About Wccpv2
• Information About WCCPv2 WCCPv2 specifies interactions between one or more Cisco NX-OS routers and one or more cache engines. WCCPv2 transparently redirects selected types of traffic through a group of routers. The selected traffic is redirected to a group of cache engines to optimize resource usage and lower response times.

WCCPv2 Overview WCCPv2 enables the Cisco NX-OS router to transparently redirect packets to cache engines. WCCPv2 does not interfere with normal router operations. Using WCCPv2, the router can redirect requests on configured interfaces to cache engines rather than to intended host sites.
Page 101 You configure each cache engine with a list of routers. Step 1 Each cache engine announces its presence and a list of all routers with which it has established Step 2 communications. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...
Page 102: Wccpv2 Designated Cache Engine
Cisco NX-OS uses the mask method to assign traffic. The designated cache engine assigns the mask and value sets to the router in the WCCP Redirect Assignment message. The router matches these mask and value sets to the source IP address, destination IP address, source port, and destination port of each packet.

Page 122: Simple Password Authentication
You should use MD5 authentication to authenticate OSPFv2 messages. You configure a password that is shared at the local router and all remote OSPFv2 neighbors. For each OSPFv2 message, Cisco NX-OS creates an MD5 one-way message digest based on the message itself and the encrypted password. The interface sends this digest with the OSPFv2 message.

Route summarization simplifies route tables by replacing more-specific addresses with an address that represents all the specific addresses. For example, you can replace 2010:11:22:0:1000::1 and 2010:11:22:0:2000:679:1 with one summary address, 2010:11:22::/32.

Summarizing overlapping ranges from two different routers could cause packets to be sent to the wrong destination. Configure external route summarization on ASBRs that are redistributing routes into OSPF When you configure a summary address, Cisco NX-OS automatically configures a discard route for the summary address to prevent routing black holes and route loops.
Page 174: Multiple Ospfv3 Instances
OSPFv3 supports Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances (VRFs). VRFs exist within virtual device contexts (VDCs). By default, Cisco NX-OS places you in the default VDC and default VRF unless you specifically configure another VDC and VRF. Each OSPFv3 instance can support multiple VRFs, up to the system limit.

BGP (iBGP) peering sessions. 4-Byte AS Number Support BGP supports 2-byte or 4-byte AS numbers. Cisco NX-OS displays 4-byte AS numbers in plain-text notation (that is, as 32-bit integers). You can configure 4-byte AS numbers as either plain-text notation (for example, 1 to 4294967295), or AS.dot notation (for example, 1.0).
Page 273: Bgp Peers
Dynamis AS Numbers for Prefix Peers Cisco NX-OS accepts a range or list of AS numbers to establish BGP sessions. For example, if you configure BGP to use IPv4 prefix 192.0.2.0/8 and AS numbers 33, 66, and 99, BGP establishes a session with 192.0.2.1 with AS number 66 but rejects a session from 192.0.2.2 with AS number 50.)
Page 274: Bgp Router Identifier
A, B, and C. When Cisco NX-OS compares A and B, it chooses A. When Cisco NX-OS compares B and C, it chooses B. But when Cisco NX-OS compares A and C, it might not choose A because some BGP metrics apply only among paths from the same neighboring autonomous system and not among all paths.
Page 275 11-9 for more information. If one path is from an internal peer and the other path is from an external peer, then Cisco NX-OS chooses the path from the external peer. If the paths have different IGP metrics to their next-hop addresses, then Cisco NX-OS chooses the path with the lower IGP metric.
Page 276: Step 2-Determining The Order Of Comparisons
If the path includes an originator attribute, then Cisco NX-OS uses that attribute as the router ID to compare to; otherwise, Cisco NX-OS uses the router ID of the peer that sent the path. If the paths have different router IDs, Cisco NX-OS chooses the path with the lower router ID.

BGP is an interdomain routing protocol that provides loop-free routing between organizations or autonomous systems. Cisco NX-OS supports BGP version 4. BGP version 4 includes multiprotocol extensions that allow BGP to carry routing information for IP multicast routes and multiple Layer 3 protocol address families.
Page 298: Peer Templates
A peer-policy template can inherit from a set of peer-policy templates. Cisco NX-OS evaluates these peer-policy templates in the order specified by the preference value in the inherit configuration. The lowest number is preferred over higher numbers.
Page 299: Route Policies And Resetting Bgp Sessions
If you change the inbound route policy, Cisco NX-OS passes these stored routes through the modified inbound route policy to update the route table without tearing down existing peering sessions. Soft reconfiguration inbound can use significant memory resources to store the unfiltered BGP routes.

Page 302: Capabilities Negotiation
Capabilities negotiation allows BGP to use only the set of features supported by both BGP peers on a link. If a BGP peer does not support capabilities negotiation, Cisco NX-OS will attempt a new session to the peer without capabilities negotiation if you have configured the address family as IPv4. Any other multiprotocol configuration (such as IPv6) requires capabilities negotiation.

MED attribute and the router ID. Multiprotocol BGP BGP on Cisco NX-OS supports multiple address families. Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) carries different sets of routes depending on the address family. For example, BGP can carry one set of routes for IPv4 unicast routing, one set of routes for IPv4 multicast routing, and one set of routes for IPv6 multicast routing.
Page 306: Graceful Restart And High Availability
If a Cisco NX-OS router experiences a cold reboot, the network does not forward traffic to the router and removes the router from the network topology. In this scenario, BGP experiences a nongraceful restart and removes all routes.
Page 307: Issu
• Keepalive and hold timers must not be smaller than their default values If either of these requirements is not met, Cisco NX-OS issues a warning. You can proceed with the upgrade or downgrade, but service might be disrupted. Note Cisco NX-OS cannot guarantee ISSU for non-default timer values if the negotiated hold time between BGP peers is less than the system switchover time.

Page 317: Configuring Prefix Peering
When a BGP peer that is part of a prefix peering disconnects, Cisco NX-OS holds its peer structures for a defined prefix peer timeout value. An established peer can reset and reconnect without danger of being blocked because other peers have consumed all slots for that prefix peering.
Page 318: Resetting A Bgp Session
If you modify a route policy for BGP, you must reset the associated BGP peer sessions. If the BGP peers do not support route refresh, you can configure a soft reconfiguration for inbound policy changes. Cisco NX-OS automatically attempts a soft reset for the session.
Page 319: Configuring Bgp Next-Hop Address Tracking
BGP marks all next hops that are rejected by the route policy as invalid and does not calculate the best path for the routes that use the invalid next-hop address. To configure BGP next-hop filtering, use the following command in address-family configuration mode: Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x 11-23 OL-20002-02...

Page 392: Configuring Per-Packet Load Sharing
You can use per-packet load sharing to evenly distribute data traffic in an IP network over multiple equal-cost connections. Per-packet load sharing allows the router to send successive data packets over paths on a packet-by-packet basis rather than on a per-flow basis.

The AVG also answers Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests for the virtual IP address. Load sharing is achieved when the AVG replies to the ARP requests with different virtual MAC addresses. In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) and later, packets received on a routed port destined for the GLBP virtual Note IP address will terminate on the local router, regardless of whether that router is the active GLBP router or a redundant GLBP router.

Page 440: Configuring Glbp Authentication
Configuring GLBP Authentication You can configure GLBP to authenticate the protocol using cleartext or an MD5 digest. MD5 authentication uses a key chain (see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Security Configuration Guide, Release 4.x). BEFORE YOU BEGIN Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
