Information About OSPF Support for MTR

Routing Protocol Support for MTR

You must enable IP routing on the device for Multitopology Routing (MTR) to operate. MTR supports static and dynamic routing in Cisco software. You can enable dynamic routing per topology to support interdomain and intradomain routing. Route calculation and forwarding are independent for each topology. MTR support is integrated into Cisco software for the following protocols:

  • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

  • Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

  • Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)

  • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

You apply the per-topology configuration in router address family configuration mode of the global routing process (router configuration mode). The address family and subaddress family are specified when the device enters address family configuration mode. You specify the topology name and topology ID by entering the topology command in address family configuration mode.

You configure each topology with a unique topology ID under the routing protocol. The topology ID is used to identify and group Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) for each topology in updates for a given protocol. In OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS, you enter the topology ID during the first configuration of the topology command for a class-specific topology. In BGP, you configure the topology ID by entering the bgp tid command under the topology configuration.

You can configure class-specific topologies with different metrics than the base topology. Interface metrics configured on the base topology can be inherited by the class-specific topology. Inheritance occurs if no explicit inheritance metric is configured in the class-specific topology.

You configure BGP support only in router configuration mode. You configure Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) support in router configuration mode and in interface configuration mode.

By default, interfaces are not included in nonbase topologies. For routing protocol support for EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF, you must explicitly configure a nonbase topology on an interface. You can override the default behavior by using the all-interfaces command in address family topology configuration mode. The all-interfaces command causes the nonbase topology to be configured on all interfaces of the device that are part of the default address space or the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance in which the topology is configured.

Interface Configuration Support for MTR

The configuration of a Multitopology Routing (MTR) topology in interface configuration mode allows you to enable or disable MTR on a per-interface basis. By default, a class-specific topology does not include any interfaces.

You can include or exclude individual interfaces by configuring the topology interface configuration command. You specify the address family and the topology (base or class-specific) when entering this command. The subaddress family can be specified. If no subaddress family is specified, the unicast subaddress family is used by default.

You can include globally all interfaces on a device in a topology by entering the all-interfaces command in routing topology configuration mode. Per-interface topology configuration applied with the topology command overrides global interface configuration.

The interface configuration support for MTR has these characteristics:

  • Per-interface routing configuration: Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing and metric configurations can be applied in interface topology configuration mode. Per-interface metrics and routing behaviors can be configured for each IGP.

  • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) interface topology configuration: Interface mode OSPF configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure an interface cost or disable OSPF routing without removing the interface from the global topology configuration.

  • Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) interface topology configuration: Interface mode EIGRP configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure various EIGRP features.

  • Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) interface topology configuration: Interface mode IS-IS configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure an interface cost or disable IS-IS routing without removing the interface from the global topology configuration.

        Information About OSPF Support for MTR

        Routing Protocol Support for MTR

        You must enable IP routing on the device for Multitopology Routing (MTR) to operate. MTR supports static and dynamic routing in Cisco software. You can enable dynamic routing per topology to support interdomain and intradomain routing. Route calculation and forwarding are independent for each topology. MTR support is integrated into Cisco software for the following protocols:

        • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

        • Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

        • Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS)

        • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

        You apply the per-topology configuration in router address family configuration mode of the global routing process (router configuration mode). The address family and subaddress family are specified when the device enters address family configuration mode. You specify the topology name and topology ID by entering the topology command in address family configuration mode.

        You configure each topology with a unique topology ID under the routing protocol. The topology ID is used to identify and group Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) for each topology in updates for a given protocol. In OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS, you enter the topology ID during the first configuration of the topology command for a class-specific topology. In BGP, you configure the topology ID by entering the bgp tid command under the topology configuration.

        You can configure class-specific topologies with different metrics than the base topology. Interface metrics configured on the base topology can be inherited by the class-specific topology. Inheritance occurs if no explicit inheritance metric is configured in the class-specific topology.

        You configure BGP support only in router configuration mode. You configure Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) support in router configuration mode and in interface configuration mode.

        By default, interfaces are not included in nonbase topologies. For routing protocol support for EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF, you must explicitly configure a nonbase topology on an interface. You can override the default behavior by using the all-interfaces command in address family topology configuration mode. The all-interfaces command causes the nonbase topology to be configured on all interfaces of the device that are part of the default address space or the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance in which the topology is configured.

        Interface Configuration Support for MTR

        The configuration of a Multitopology Routing (MTR) topology in interface configuration mode allows you to enable or disable MTR on a per-interface basis. By default, a class-specific topology does not include any interfaces.

        You can include or exclude individual interfaces by configuring the topology interface configuration command. You specify the address family and the topology (base or class-specific) when entering this command. The subaddress family can be specified. If no subaddress family is specified, the unicast subaddress family is used by default.

        You can include globally all interfaces on a device in a topology by entering the all-interfaces command in routing topology configuration mode. Per-interface topology configuration applied with the topology command overrides global interface configuration.

        The interface configuration support for MTR has these characteristics:

        • Per-interface routing configuration: Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing and metric configurations can be applied in interface topology configuration mode. Per-interface metrics and routing behaviors can be configured for each IGP.

        • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) interface topology configuration: Interface mode OSPF configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure an interface cost or disable OSPF routing without removing the interface from the global topology configuration.

        • Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) interface topology configuration: Interface mode EIGRP configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure various EIGRP features.

        • Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) interface topology configuration: Interface mode IS-IS configurations for a class-specific topology are applied in interface topology configuration mode. In this mode, you can configure an interface cost or disable IS-IS routing without removing the interface from the global topology configuration.

        DETAILED STEPS
           Command or ActionPurpose
          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 router ospf process-id [vrf vrf-name]


          Example:
          Device(config)# router ospf 1
           

          Enables an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing process and enters router configuration mode.

           
          Step 4 address-family ipv4 [multicast | unicast]


          Example:
          Device(config-router)# address-family ipv4
           

          Enters router address family configuration mode to configure an OSPF address family session.

          • Only the base topology can be configured under the multicast subaddress family.

           
          Step 5 topology {base | topology-name tid number}


          Example:
          Device(config-router-af)# topology VOICE tid 10
           

          Configures OSPF support for the topology and assigns a Topology Identifier (TID) number for each topology.

          • Enters router address family topology configuration mode.

          • Use the tid number keyword and argument to configure a topology ID. The topology ID must be configured in the first configuration of the specified topology. It is optional for subsequent configuration.

          Note   

          The base keyword is accepted only for IPv4 multicast. The tid keyword is accepted only for IPv4 or IPv6 unicast.

           
          Step 6 end


          Example:
          Device(config-router-af-topology)# end
           

          Exits router address family topology configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

           
          Step 7 show ip ospf [process-id] topology-info [multicast] [topology {topology-name | base}]


          Example:
          Device# show ip ospf topology-info topology VOICE
           

          (Optional) Displays OSPF information about the specified topology.

          Before You Begin

          Define a topology globally before performing the per-interface topology configuration.

          SUMMARY STEPS

            1.    enable

            2.    configure terminal

            3.    interface type number

            4.    topology ipv4 [multicast | unicast] {topology-name [disable] | base}

            5.    ip ospf cost number

            6.    ip ospf topology disable

            7.    end

            8.    show ip ospf [process-id] interface [type number] [brief] [multicast] [topology {topology-name | base}]


          DETAILED STEPS
             Command or ActionPurpose
            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 number


            Example:
            Device(config)# interface Ethernet 0/0
             

            Specifies the interface type and number, and enters interface configuration mode.

             
            Step 4 topology ipv4 [multicast | unicast] {topology-name [disable] | base}


            Example:
            Device(config-if)# topology ipv4 VOICE
             

            Enters interface topology configuration mode to configure Multitopology Routing (MTR).

            Note   

            Entering this command with the disable keyword disables the topology instance on the interface. This form is used to exclude a topology configuration from an interface.

             
            Step 5 ip ospf cost number


            Example:
            Device(config-if-topology)# ip ospf cost 100
             

            Applies a cost to the interface in a topology instance.

            • The lowest cost number has the highest preference.

             
            Step 6 ip ospf topology disable


            Example:
            Device(config-if-topology)# ip ospf topology disable
             

            Prevents Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) from advertising the interface as part of the topology without disabling the OSPF process or the topology on the interface.

             
            Step 7 end


            Example:
            Device(config-if-topology)# end
             

            Exits interface topology configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

             
            Step 8 show ip ospf [process-id] interface [type number] [brief] [multicast] [topology {topology-name | base}]


            Example:
            Device# show ip ospf 1 interface topology VOICE
             

            (Optional) Displays OSPF-related interface information.

            • Displays OSPF and interface information about the specified topology when the topology keyword is entered.

             

            Monitoring Interface and Topology IP Traffic Statistics for MTR

            Use any of the following commands in any order to monitor interface and topology IP traffic statistics for Multitopology Routing (MTR).

            SUMMARY STEPS

              1.    enable

              2.    show ip interface [type number] [topology {name | all | base}] [stats]

              3.    show ip traffic [topology {name | all | base}]

              4.    clear ip interface type number [topology {name | all | base}] [stats]

              5.    clear ip traffic [topology {name | all | base}]


            DETAILED STEPS
               Command or ActionPurpose
              Step 1 enable


              Example:
              Device> enable
               

              Enables privileged EXEC mode.

              • Enter your password if prompted.

               
              Step 2 show ip interface [type number] [topology {name | all | base}] [stats]


              Example:
              Device# show ip interface FastEthernet 1/10 stats
               

              (Optional) Displays IP traffic statistics for all interfaces or statistics related to the specified interface.

              • If you specify an interface type and number, information for that specific interface is displayed. If you specify no optional arguments, information for all the interfaces is displayed.

              • If the topology name keyword and argument are used, statistics are limited to the IP traffic for that specific topology.

              • The base keyword displays the IPv4 unicast base topology.

               
              Step 3 show ip traffic [topology {name | all | base}]


              Example:
              Device# show ip traffic topology VOICE
               

              (Optional) Displays global IP traffic statistics (an aggregation of all the topologies when MTR is enabled) or statistics related to a particular topology.

              • The base keyword is reserved for the IPv4 unicast base topology.

               
              Step 4 clear ip interface type number [topology {name | all | base}] [stats]


              Example:
              Device# clear ip interface FastEthernet 1/10 topology all
               

              (Optional) Resets interface-level IP traffic statistics.

              • If the topology keyword and a related keyword are not used, only the interface-level aggregate statistics are reset.

              • If all topologies need to be reset, use the all keyword as the topology name.

               
              Step 5 clear ip traffic [topology {name | all | base}]


              Example:
              Device# clear ip traffic topology all
               

              (Optional) Resets IP traffic statistics.

              • If no topology name is specified, global statistics are cleared.

               

              Configuration Examples for OSPF Support for MTR

              Examples: Activating an MTR Topology by Using OSPF

              The following example shows how to configure the VOICE topology in an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing process and set the priority of the VOICE topology to the highest priority: 

              router ospf 1
 address-family ipv4
  topology VOICE tid 10
  priority 127
  end

              In the following example, the show ip ospf command is used with the topology-info and topology keywords to display OSPF information about the topology named VOICE: 

              Device# show ip ospf 1 topology-info topology VOICE

              Examples: MTR OSPF Topology in Interface Configuration Mode

              The following example shows how to disable Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing on Ethernet interface 0/0 without removing the interface from the global topology configuration: 

              interface Ethernet 0/0
 topology ipv4 VOICE
  ip ospf cost 100
  ip ospf topology disable
  end

              In the following example, the show ip ospf interface command is used with the topology keyword to display information about the topologies configured for OSPF in interface configuration mode: 

              Device# show ip ospf 1 interface topology VOICE

VOICE Topology (MTID 66)
