Usage Guidelines

Before you issue this command, you must configure a static list of MEPs using the mep crosscheck mpid vlan command. To enable cross-checking after a device has booted up, you must issue the ethernet cfm mep crosscheck enable command.

A no form of this command does not exist. Cross-checking is disabled when you issue the command with the disable keyword.

In CFM IEEE, if a domain name has more than 43 characters, a warning message is displayed notifying that the maintenance domain ID (MDID) will be truncated to 43 characters in continuity check messages if “id <fmt> <MDID>” is not configured.

To view the results of a cross-check operation, use the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points remote crosscheck command. To view errors in the cross-check operation, use the show ethernet cfm errors command. Both commands are used in privileged EXEC mode.

Traps are generated after a cross-check operation is completed if cross-check traps are already enabled and, if as the result of the cross-check operation, a condition warrants a trap to be sent.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable an Ethernet CFM MEP cross-check on an MEP in CFM IEEE: 


Device# ethernet cfm mep crosscheck enable domain customerA service zzz

The following example shows how to enable an Ethernet CFM MEP cross-check in CFM D1 at level 2 for VLAN IDs in the range from 3000 to 3375:

Cisco IOS 15.4(3)S

This command was implemented on Cisco ME 2600X Series Ethernet Access Switches.

Usage Guidelines

You can use this command to place the CLI in Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) MEP configuration mode (config-if-ecfm-mep).

A single interface may belong to multiple domains, meaning that you can issue multiple instances of the ethernet cfm mep domain mpid command for different domains.

If a specified domain has not been configured, an error message is displayed and the command is rejected.

If an interface is manually provisioned to have a maintenance intermediate point (MIP) at a certain maintenance level and you attempt to configure it as a MEP for a VLAN on the same or a higher level, an error message is displayed and the command is rejected.

If the VLAN for which a MEP is configured is removed from an interface, the MEP configuration is also removed; the VLAN and the definition of the MEP are interrelated.

If a domain name is longer than 43 characters, a warning message is displayed notifying that the maintenance domain ID (MDID) will be truncated to 43 characters in continuity check messages (CCMs) if “id <fmt> <MDID>” is not configured.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7S and later releases, configuring the ethernet cfm mep domain mpid command using the port and vlan keywords is rejected when there are multiple MAs mapping to the same service in the domain.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a service as internal to a maintenance domain, define it as a maintenance endpoint (MEP), and configure the service zzz: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep domain CustomerB mpid 5 service zzz
Device(config-if)#

ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan

To set an interface as a domain boundary (edge), define it as a maintenance endpoint (MEP), and set the direction for the MEP, use the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default configuration of the interface, use the no form of this command.

ethernet cfm mep level level-id [inward | outward domain domain-name] mpid id vlan {any | vlan-id | ,vlan-id | vlan-id-vlan-id | ,vlan-id-vlan-id}

no ethernet cfm mep level level-id [inward | outward domain domain-name] mpid id vlan {any | vlan-id | ,vlan-id | vlan-id-vlan-id | ,vlan-id-vlan-id}

Syntax Description

level-id

Integer from 0 to 7 that identifies the maintenance level at which the MEP is defined.

inward

(Optional) Indicates the direction of the MEP is toward the device. This is the default.

outward

(Optional) Sets an interface as outward (toward the wire).

domain

(Optional) Identifies the domain in which the MEP will be configured.

domain-name

(Optional) String of a maximum of 154 characters that identifies the domain.

id

Integer from 0 to 8191 that identifies the MEP.

any

Indicates all VLANs are to be configured.

vlan-id

Integer from 1 to 4094 that identifies a VLAN to be configured.

, vlan-id

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S.

15.3(1)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.3(1)S.

Usage Guidelines

Following is the order in which you must configure Ethernet connectivity fault management (CFM) elements:

  1. Domain at the same level as the MEP to be configured

  2. Service within the domain

  3. Maintenance intermediate point (MIP) at a level higher than the MEP if the domain is not an outward domain

  4. MEP

If you do not configure elements in this sequence, the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command will fail. An exception is at maintenance level 7, where configuring a MIP on the interface before you configure a MEP is not required. Configuring a MIP on an interface also is not required when you are configuring an outward facing MEP.

A single interface may belong to multiple domains, which means you can issue multiple instances of the ethernet cfm mep level mpid vlan command for different domains and for different VLANs.

More than one domain can be configured at a single level. The level plus VLAN indicates the domain to which the MEP belongs.

You can configure a single MEP, a list of MEPs, or a range of MEPs so that there is one MEP per VLAN and all MEPs share the same level, direction, and maintenance endpoint ID (MPID).

If the direction of the MEP is not stated, the default is inward facing (toward the Bridge). When you specify an outward MEP, you must provide a domain name. If the specified domain has not been configured or if the specified domain has not been tagged as outward, an error message will display and the command will be rejected.

All MEPs and MIPs must be removed from an interface before MEPs at level 7 can be configured. Also, when you remove MEP configurations at Level 7, you should first remove all lower level MEPs. If you try to configure a MEP on an interface with a level higher than the MIP level, the command will be rejected and an error message will be displayed.

If an interface is provisioned to be a MIP for a certain maintenance level and you try to configure the interface as an inward MEP for a VLAN at the same level, the command will be rejected and an error message will display. If a VLAN for which a MEP is configured is removed from an interface, the MEP configuration remains, but the MEP is inactive and does not transmit or receive messages because the definition of the MEP is associated with the VLAN.

Examples

The following example shows how to set interface Ethernet 0/1 as a domain boundary and define it as a MEP at level 5, with a MPID of 5 on VLAN 101, and then issue the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command to display the list of configured MEPs in the device: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep level 5 mpid 5 vlan 101
Device(config-if)# Ctrl-Z
Device(config)# show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local

The following example shows how to set interface Ethernet 0/1 as outward for maintenance domain domain1 and define it as a MEP at level 5 with the MEP ID 700 on VLAN 5: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep level 5 outward domain domain1 mpid 700 vlan 5

The following example shows how to set interface Ethernet 5/0 as a domain boundary and define it as a MEP at level 7, with a MPID of 3001 on VLAN 100 on a switch port: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 5/0
Device(config-if)# switchport
Device(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Device(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep level 7 outward domain CUSTOMER mpid 3001 vlan 100

The following example shows how to set interface Ethernet 5/0 as a domain boundary and define it as a MEP at level 7, with a MPID of 3001 on VLAN 100 on a routed port: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 5/0
Device(config-if)# ethernet cfm mep level 7 outward domain CUSTOMER mpid 3001 vlan 100

Usage Guidelines

If you do not configure a VLAN, this command creates MIPs for all VLANs on an interface.

In the CFM D1 implementation, you must first configure a domain using the ethernet cfm domain command at the level you want to configure the MIP; otherwise, the ethernet cfm mip level command is rejected. In the CFM IEEE implementation, preconfiguring a domain is not required.

You cannot configure a MIP at a level lower than the level of already configured maintenance endpoints (MEPs) on an interface.

Configuring a MIP using this command is known as a manual MIP and has precedence over the mip auto-create command.

Examples

The following example shows how to provision a MIP at maintenance level 5 and then issue the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command to display the list of configured MIPs in the device:

Cisco IOS 15.4(3)S

This command was implemented on Cisco ME 2600X Series Ethernet Access Switches.

Usage Guidelines

Before you can issue this command, you must have enabled traceroute caching using the ethernet cfm traceroute cache command.

Entries in the traceroute cache table are single replies from remote devices—not the number of operations on the device. In Cisco pre-Standard CFM Draft 1 when the maximum cache size is reached, new replies cannot be added until you clear the cache or increase its size. In CFM IEEE 802.1ag Standard when the maximum cache size is reached, the oldest traceroute operation is removed to make room for a new traceroute operation.

Output of the show running all command displays “ethernet cfm traceroute cache size 100” when traceroute cache is enabled and the default value of 100 is configured.

Setting the number of entries lower than the number of entries currently cached causes this command to be rejected, and you are prompted to clear the traceroute cache.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the maximum number of entries in an Ethernet CFM traceroute cache table to 2500:

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S.

Usage Guidelines

If you intend to use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map any command, you must first configure all-to-one bundling on the interface.

This command can also be used to configure an Ethernet LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map for a particular user-network interface (UNI).

Note

To specify both VLAN IDs and untagged VLANs in the map, specify the VLAN IDs first and then specify the untagged keyword as follows: ethernet lmi ce-vlan map 100,200,300,untagged . Also, if the untagged keyword is not specified in the map configuration, the main interface line protocol on the Customer Edge (CE) device will be down.

Ethernet LMI mapping parameters are related to the bundling characteristics set by entering the ethernet uni command in interface configuration mode.

  • Using the default UNI attribute (bundling and multiplexing) supports multiple EVCs and multiple VLANs.

  • Entering the ethernet uni bundle command supports only one EVC with one or more VLANs.

  • Entering the ethernet uni bundle all-to-one command supports multiple VLANs but only one EVC. If you use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map any command in Ethernet service configuration mode, you must first configure all-to-one bundling on the interface.

  • Entering the ethernet uni multiplex command supports multiple EVCs with only one VLAN per EVC.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an Ethernet LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map to test customer VLAN 101 in service instance 333 on the interface: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
Device(config-if)# service instance 333 ethernet test

15.1(2)SNG

This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Usage Guidelines

Ethernet LMI is disabled by default on an interface and must be explicitly enabled. The ethernet lmi global command enables Ethernet LMI on all interfaces for an entire device. The benefit of this command is that you can enable Ethernet LMI on all interfaces with one command compared to enabling Ethernet LMI separately on each interface.

To disable Ethernet LMI on a specific interface after the ethernet lmi global command has been issued, the no ethernet lmi interface command must be issued on that interface.

The sequence in which the ethernet lmi interface and ethernet lmi global commands are issued is significant. The latest command issued overrides the prior command issued.

Command History

Release

Modification

12.2(33)SRE

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When the ethernet mac-flush notification mirp command is configured, you can enter the no mac-flush notification mirp command in the service instance configuration mode. However, when the no ethernet mac-flush notification mirp command is configured, enabling MIRP for an individual service instance by configuring mac-flush notification mirp in service instance configuration mode is not allowed.

The service instance configuration mode commands are automatically generated as a result of the global commands. Therefore, you can not enable MIRP for service instances when the global no mac-flush notification mirp command is configured.

Modification

15.3(1)S

This command was introduced.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S.

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S.

Usage Guidelines

When a Layer 2 device receives a packet, the destination MAC address is examined and the device looks at the MAC address table. Each MAC address table contains information and attributes such as the following:

  • MAC destination address

  • Bridge-domain ID

  • Interface type and number

  • Service instance number

  • Forwarding policy

If the system finds a match (for example, the MAC destination address), the packets are forwarded to the appropriate interface associated with the MAC destination address. If the system does not find a match, copies of the packets are forwarded to all interfaces in that bridge domain (except the source destination interface). This is known as “flooding.”

Eventually, the packet reaches the correct destination MAC address and that destination replies. This reply allows the system to learn that the MAC destination address belongs to a specific interface and an entry in the MAC address table is created. The next time a packet with that MAC destination address is received, the packet is simply forwarded to the correct interface.

However, there is a limit to the number of MAC destination address entries that can be included in the MAC address table. This is known as the MAC address limit. When this limit is reached, the system cannot learn the new destination. Thus, this destination will always be flooded, which results in system degradation. Use the ethernet mac limit action flooding disable command to prevent flooding the destination. If flooding is disabled, when the packet’s MAC address destination is unknown, the packet is discarded.

Examples

The following example shows how to prevent Layer 2 flooding for packets with unknown destination MAC addresses. 


Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# ethernet mac limit action flooding disable

15.1(2)SNG

This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Router.

15.3(2)S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.3(2)S. The range for min-rate num-seconds and timeout seconds keyword-argument pairs was modified. The range for num-seconds was modified to 1 to 10 (in seconds) and 100 to 900 in ms. The range for seconds was modified to 2 to 30 in seconds and 500 to 1900 in ms. The value in ms must be specified in increments of 100.

Usage Guidelines

When Ethernet OAM is configured on an interface, the default mode of the OAM client is active. When the Ethernet OAM mode is enabled on two interfaces passing traffic, both interfaces cannot be in passive mode. Both interfaces can be in active mode, and one can be in active mode and the other in passive mode. You can toggle between Ethernet OAM modes without disabling OAM.

The min-rate num-seconds keyword and argument pair controls the minimum rate, in seconds at which OAM PDUs can be sent on an interface. A value of n, where 1 is less than or equal to n and n is less than or equal to 10, indicates that an OAM PDU must be sent at least once per n seconds. If no other OAM PDU is to be sent within an n-second window, an information OAM PDU must be sent.

Examples

The following example shows how to activate an Ethernet OAM interface that was previously configured to be in passive mode: 


Device(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# ethernet oam mode active

The following example shows how to set the maximum OAM PDUs transmission rate of 5 seconds on interface GigabitEthernet 0/1:

15.1(2)SNG

This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Usage Guidelines

The failover action is applicable only to EtherChannel interfaces. It provides an automatic failover of traffic from one port in an EtherChannel to another port in the same EtherChannel when one of the ports in the channel exceeds the high threshold for an error within the specified interval. The port failover occurs only if at least one operational port is in the EtherChannel. The failed port is put into an error-disable state. If the failed port is the last port in the EtherChannel, the port will not be put into the error-disable state and will continue to pass traffic regardless of the types of errors received.

Single, nonchanneling ports go into the error-disable state when the error high threshold is exceeded within the specified interval.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure an error-disable-interface action to occur when the high threshold for an error is exceeded: 


Device(config-template)# ethernet oam link-monitor high-threshold action error-disable-interface

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the ethernetsubscriber command, you must configure the encapsulation command under a service instance. Else, you cannot enable the Ethernet L2 context. When you disable the encapsulation command, the ethernetsubscriber command is also disabled.

You can use the ethernetsubscriber command in service instance configuration mode to enable an Ethernet L2 context. The Ethernet L2 context is used to define the control plane policy for detecting first sign of life (FSOL).

Configuring this command on any platform indicates that the unclassified traffic on the specific service instance will not be dropped; instead, it will be punted to the FSOL handling mechanism.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable an Ethernet L2 context: 


Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/25
Router(config-if)# service instance dynamic 1 ethernet
Router(config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 200

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Static Ethernet sessions are not created for the service instance.

Command Modes


Service instance configuration (config-if-srv)

Command History

Release

Modification

15.1(2)S

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the ethernetsubscriberstatic command, you must configure the encapsulation command under an Ethernet service instance. Otherwise, you cannot enable the EVC accounting for a static Ethernet session. When you disable the encapsulation command, the ethernetsubscriberstatic command configuration is also disabled.

The EVC accounting supports forwarding paths such as bridge domain, connect, and xconnect. The ethernetsubscriberstatic command is not mutually exclusive with forwarding paths; that is, you can configure the command before or after the forwarding paths are configured.

The xconnect and connect forwarding paths are ISG-based, and have static Ethernet sessions created when they are configured. If the xconnect or connect forwarding paths are configured before you configure the ethernetsubscriberstatic command, the same static Ethernet sessions are used for EVC accounting, and new sessions are not triggered. The bridge domain forwarding path does not involve ISG data path setup. Hence, although you configure the ethernetsubscriberstatic command after the bridge domain forwarding path is configured, new static Ethernet sessions are triggered for EVC accounting.

If the ethernetsubscriberstatic command is configured before any of the forwarding paths are cofigured, an Ethernet session is not created. When you configure the forwarding paths, the Ethernet sessions are created.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a static session: 


Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/25
Router(config-if)# service instance 101 ethernet
Router(config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 200
 
Router(config-if-srv)# ethernet subscriber static

ethernet uni

To set user-network interface (UNI) bundling attributes, use the ethernet uni command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default bundling configuration, use the no form of this command.

ethernet uni [bundle [all-to-one] | id uni-id | multiplex]

no ethernet uni

Syntax Description

bundle

(Optional) Configures the UNI to support bundling without multiplexing.

all-to-one

(Optional) Configures the UNI to support bundling with a single Ethernet virtual connection (EVC) at the UNI and all CE VLANs mapped to that EVC.

id

(Optional) Configures a UNI ID.

uni-id

(Optional) String of 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters that identifies the UNI. The name should be unique for all UNIs that are part of a given service instance.

multiplex

(Optional) Configures the UNI to support multiplexing without bundling.

Command Default

If bundling or multiplexing attributes are not configured, the default is bundling with multiplexing. The UNI then has one or more EVCs with one or more CE VLANs mapped to each EVC.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release

Modification

12.2(25)SEG

This command was introduced.

12.2(33)SRB

This command was implemented on the Cisco 7600 series routers.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S.

Usage Guidelines

UNI options determine the functionality that the interface has regarding bundling VLANs and multiplexing EVCs.

If you want only the bundling or only the multiplexing service, you must configure the service appropriately. Bundling supports only one EVC at the UNI with one or multiple customer edge (CE)-VLAN IDs mapped to the EVC.

When multiplexing is configured, the UNI can have one or more EVCs with a single CE-VLAN ID mapped to each EVC.

When you configure a UNI ID on a port, that ID is used as the default name for all maintenance end points (MEPs) configured on the port.

You must enter the ethernet uni command with the id keyword and id argument on all ports that are directly connected to CE devices. When the specified ID is not unique on a device, an error message is displayed.

When you configure, change, or remove a UNI service type, the EVC and CE-VLAN ID configurations are checked to ensure that the configurations and the UNI service types match. If the configurations do not match, the command is rejected.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure bundling without multiplexing: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
Device(config-if)# ethernet uni bundle

This example shows how to identify a UNI as test2: 


Device(config)# interface ethernet 2/1

Modification

15.1(2)S

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the l2subscriber command to create a named service authorization group and enter into L2 subscriber group mode.

You can define multiple L2 subscriber authorization groups on the router. Each group essentially defines a set of Any Transport over MPLS (AToM) peers using the peer's Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label distribution protocol (LDP) router ID (IP address or IP address network) and virtual circuit (VC) ID or range. You must be sure to define mutually exclusive service authorization groups.

You can use configuration commands available in L2 subscriber group mode to enable an AToM or label advertisement to be used for First Sign of Life (FSOL) processing.

When an AToM LDP label advertisement is received and there is a matching group, the ISG control policy-map is executed and the AAA attributes for the corresponding xconnect is downloaded from RADIUS. Thus, a dynamic xconnect will be provisioned for the peer provider edge (PE). You can use the showderived-configinterface command to see the details of the xconnect that is downloaded.

To provide a description for the L2 subscriber authorization group, use the description command in L2 subscriber group mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to create an L2 subscriber authorization group: 


Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# l2 subscriber authorization group group1

lacp active-port distribution automatic

To have an effective auto interleaved port priority distribution of active and bundled ports across different slots that are part of the same port channel distributed EtherChannel (DEC) and multichassis EtherChannel (MEC), use the lacp active-port distribution automatic command in port channel configuration mode.

lacp active-port distribution automatic

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Command Default

Auto interleaved port priority is disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release

Modification

12.2(33)SXI4

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The auto interleaved port-priority feature automatically distributes active and bundled ports based on the position of a port link when it comes up and is effective only if you configure it on the system that has the higher LACP system priority.

The port priority per port that you configured continues to take precedence over a dynamic port number. You need to perform a shutdown and no shutdown on the interface port channel to enable the auto interleaved port priority feature on all ports.

Examples

This example shows how to configure interleaved port priority: 


Router(config)# interface port23
Router(config-if)# lacp active-port distribution automatic
Please shut/no shut the port-channel for configuration to take effect immediately.
Router(config-if)# shutdown
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# end

This example shows how to verify that interleaved port priority is configured: 


Router# show running interface port23

lacp failover

To set the Multichassis Link Aggregation Control Protocol (mLACP) failover mechanism to bring down a active physical member link interface(s) for a given link aggregation group (LAG) on the point of attachment (PoA) that is surrendering its active status, use the lacp failover command in port-channel interface configuration mode. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

lacp failover {brute-force | non-revertive}

no lacp failover

Syntax Description

brute-force

Brute-force failover places the PoA links in the ERR_DISABLE state.

non-revertive

Non-revertive mode is used to limit failover and possible traffic loss when a failed PoA recovers by not reverting to the Active role.

Command Default

The command is in revertive mode (with 180-second delay) and uses the dynamic port priority failover mechanism.

Command Modes

Port-channel interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release

Modification

12.2(33)SRE

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The default dynamic port priority failover mechanism provides the best failover performance.

A brute-force shutdown doesn't depend on the dual-homed device’s (DHD's) ability to handle dynamic port priority changes and compensates for deficiencies in the DHD's LACP implementation.

The brute-force and non-revertive modes are mutually exclusive.

The brute-force shutdown changes the status of each member link to ERR_DISABLE to force the transition of the standby links to active state. This process eliminates the ability of the local LACP implementation to monitor the link state.

A brute force shutdown operates in revertive mode-- dynamic port priorities cannot be used to control active selection.

Dynamic port priority failover is used by the mLACP feature in both revertive mode and non-revertive mode.

Non-revertive mode is used to limit failover and therefore, possible traffic loss. Dynamic port priority changes are used to ensure that the newly activated point of attachment (PoA) remains active after the failed PoA recovers.

Revertive mode operation forces the primary PoA to return to active state after it recovers from a failure. Dynamic port priority changes are used when necessary to allow the recovering PoA to resume its active role.

Examples

This example shows how to set the LACP failover for non-revertive mode: 


interface Port-channel1
  lacp max-bundle 3
  lacp min-bundle 2
  lacp failover non-revertive
  mlacp lag-priority 1000
  mlacp interchassis group 1

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

Usage Guidelines

Prior to entering the lacp fast-switchover command, you must ensure the following:

  • The port channel protocol type is LACP.

  • The lacp max-bundle 1 command has been entered on the port channel. The lacp fast-switchover command will not affect the lacp max-bundle command.

When you enable LACP 1:1 link redundancy, based on the system priority and port priority, the port with the higher system priority chooses the link as the active link and the other link as the standby link. When the active link fails, the standby link is selected as the new active link without taking down the port channel. When the original active link recovers, it reverts to its active link status. During this change-over, the port channel is also up.


Note

We recommend that you configure two ports only (one active and one hot-standby) in the bundle for optimum performance.

You can enter this command on any port channels with different EtherChannel protocol types of LACP, Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), or Fast EtherChannel (FEC).

Examples

This example shows how to enable LACP 1:1 link redundancy: 


Router(config-if)# lacp fast-switchover

Usage Guidelines

To enable LLDP, use this command with the run keyword.

LLDP packets are sent with a hold-time value. The receiving device ages the LLDP information about the neighbor after the hold time has elapsed.

LLDP is an industry standard version for Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). Non-Cisco phones use LLDP to configure voice VLANs. If you install a non-Cisco phone that supports LLDP and do not want to configure a voice VLAN on the phone, then you can use LLDP.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a hold time of 100 seconds: 


Device(config)# lldp holdtime 100

The following example shows how to set the timer to send LLDP updates every 75 seconds: 


Device(config)# lldp timer 75

Usage Guidelines

You can use the location command to configure location support for interfaces. When you configure the location command on a specific interface or on several interfaces, the location TLVs are transmitted on the respective interfaces every time CDP messages are sent. After entering the location civic-location-id id port-location command, you enter civic location port configuration mode. In this mode, you can enter additional location information for every port. Use the help feature (?) for details on the additional information that you can configure in this mode. You can configure the common attributes globally and specific attributes per port. If an attribute is configured both globally and on a port, the port configuration has higher priority.

The civic location identifier must not exceed 250 bytes.

Examples

The following example shows how to enter civic location information for an interface, and to configure additional information for civic location identifier: 


Device(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Device(config-if)# location civic-location-id 1 port-location
Device(config-if-port)# number 3560
Device(config-if-port)# building 10

You can verify your settings by entering the show location civic interface command.
