    The next hop might be the ultimate destination host or another router that executes the same switching decision process. As the packet moves through the internetwork, its physical address changes, but its protocol address remains constant (see Figure 1-1).

  • Page 34: Path Length

    For example, the line delay for a private line might be longer than a public line, but you can send packets over your private line rather than through the public lines that cost money for usage time. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...

    ID. You can configure the router ID to any interface in the system. If you do not configure the router ID, Cisco NX-OS selects the router ID based on the following criteria: Cisco NX-OS prefers loopback0 over any other interface. If loopback0 does not exist, then Cisco •...

  • 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 37: Administrative Distance

    In this network topology, the remote router does not need to receive routes that have been learned from other Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x OL-20002-02...

  • 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.

    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.)

    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.

  • Page 297: Configuring Advanced Bgp

    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.

    • 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.
