IP Switching Commands
cef table consistency-check
cef table consistency-check
To enable Cisco Express Forwarding table consistency checker types and parameters, use the cef table
consistency-check command in global configuration mode. To disable consistency checkers, use the no
form of this command.
cef table consistency-check {ipv4 | ipv6} [type {lc-detect | scan-lc-rp | scan-rp-lc | scan-rib-ios
| scan-ios-rib} [count count-number [period seconds] | period seconds] | error-message |
auto-repair [delay seconds [holddown seconds] | holddown seconds] | data-checking]
no cef table consistency-check {ipv4 | ipv6} [type {lc-detect | scan-lc-rp | scan-rp-lc |
scan-rib-ios | scan-ios-rib} [count count-number [period seconds] | period seconds] |
error-message | auto-repair | data-checking]
Syntax Description ipv4 Checks IPv4 addresses.
ipv6 Checks IPv6 addresses.
Note On the Cisco 10000 series routers, IPv6 is supported on Cisco IOS
Release 12.2(28)SB and later releases.
type (Optional) Specifies the type of consistency check to enable.
lc-detect (Optional) (Distributed platforms such as the Cisco 7500 series only)
Detects missing prefixes on the line card. The information is confirmed by
the Route Switch Processor (RSP).
This consistency checker operates on the line card by retrieving IP prefixes
that are missing from its Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table. If IP
prefixes are missing, the line card cannot forward packets for these
addresses. This consistency checker then sends IP prefixes to the RSP for
confirmation. If the RSP detects that it has the relevant entry, an
inconsistency is detected, and an error message is displayed. Finally, the
RSP sends a signal back to the line card confirming that the IP prefix is an
inconsistency.
scan-lc-rp (Optional) (Distributed platforms only) Performs a passive scan check of
tables on the line card.
This consistency checker operates on the line card by examining the FIB
table for a configurable time period and sending the next x prefixes to the
RSP. The RSP does an exact lookup, and if it finds the prefix missing, it
reports an inconsistency. Finally, the RSP sends a signal back to the line card
for confirmation.
scan-rp-lc (Optional) Operates on the RSP (opposite of the scan-lc-rp consistency
checker) by examining the FIB table for a configurable time period and
sending the next x prefixes to the line card.
The line card does an exact lookup. If it finds the prefix missing, the line card
reports an inconsistency and signals the RSP for confirmation.
scan-rib-ios (Optional) Compares the Routing Information Base (RIB) to the FIB table
and provides the number of entries missing from the FIB table.
scan-ios-rib (Optional) Compares the FIB table to the RIB and provides the number of
entries missing from the RIB.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-4 March 2011
IP Switching Commands
cef table consistency-check
count count-number (Optional) Specifies the maximum number of prefixes to check per scan. The
range is from 2 to 10000. The default count number is 1000 prefixes per scan
for the scan-rib-ios and scan-ios-rib keywords. The default count number
is 0 for the lc-detect, scan-lc-rp, and scan-rp-lc keywords.
period seconds (Optional) Period between scans. Valid values are from 30 to 3600 seconds.
The default is 60 seconds.
error-message (Optional) Enables the consistency checker to generate an error message
when it detects an inconsistency. By default, this function is disabled.
auto-repair (Optional) Enables the auto repair function. By default, this function is
enabled. You can enter the no form of the command to disable auto repair or
enter the default form of the command to return the auto repair settings to a
10-second delay and 300-second holddown.
delay seconds (Optional) Specifies how long the consistency checker waits to fix an
inconsistency. The range is 10 to 300 seconds. The default delay is
10 seconds.
holddown seconds (Optional) Specifies how long the consistency checker waits to reenable auto
repair after auto repair runs. The range is from 300 to 3000 seconds. The
default delay is 300 seconds.
data-checking (Optional) Enables the consistency checker data-checking utility. By
default, this function is disabled.
Command Default All consistency checkers are disabled.

Command History Release Modification
12.2(33)SRE This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines Use this command to change the priority of how prefixes and routes in the Cisco Express Forwarding
table are downloaded from the RP to the line cards.
Default download priorities are set up to improve convergence when topology changes occur in
networks of distributed platform, such as the Cisco 7600 series routers and the Cisco Catalyst 6000
series switches.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-7
IP Switching Commands
cef table download
Prefixes and routes are categorized and downloaded at four different priorities. Table 1 lists the
download priority and the associated prefix or route type.
Table 1 Download Priorities and Associated Prefix or Route Category
Download Priority Prefix or Route Type
Priority 1 (P1) Default routes
Routes with recursive dependents, typically Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) prefixes that are the next hop of internal Border
Gateway Protocol (iBGP) learned routes
Priority 2 (P2) Directly connected routes
Receive routes; that is, the host routes for the interface address of
the router
Priority 3 (P3) Any route in a VRF table
Priority 4 (P4) Any other route
In a typical network, a small number of IGP prefixes have many iBGP prefixes recursing through them.
When an IGP topology change occurs, the key to updating the forwarding of the iBGP prefixes is to
update the IGP prefix through which they recurse. If these prefixes with recursing dependents are
downloaded before other prefixes, convergence will be faster. Therefore, the default priority for routes
with recursive dependents is P1.
Prioritizing the download of directly connected prefixes and their associated local interface address
allows for faster and more deterministic failure detection when an interface goes down. In addition,
traffic is received at the local interface addresses as soon as possible, which allows for faster Layer 3
protocol convergence. The default priority for directly connected and receive routes is set at P2.
VRF routes over global table routes or Internet routes have a default priority of P3, and all other routes
are prioritized at P4.
The cef table download command allows you to override a default priority so you can customize prefix
and route downloads from the RP to the line cards. To display the configured download priority, use the
show cef table download priority command.
Examples The following example shows how to change the download priority of the default route from P1 to P2:
Router(config)# cef table download default-route priority 2
Related Commands Command Description
show cef table download priority Displays the configured download priority of Cisco Express
Forwarding routes.

Command History Release Modification
12.2(33)SRA This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SB This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB.
12.2(33)SXH This command was integrated into Cis IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines General Characteristics
Use the cef table output-chain build favor command to override the Cisco Express Forwarding table
default operational behavior used to build output chains for forwarding of network traffic.
The default behavior for output chain building favors convergence, if this behavior is permitted by the
platform. (See your platform documentation for information on the convergence of recursive and
nonrecursive prefixes.) Depending on your network requirements and resources, you might choose to do
one of the following:
Use the convergence-speed keyword to increase convergence speed, which requires additional
system resources, especially additional memory.
Use the memory-utilization keyword to decrease memory use, which decreases convergence speed
and uses fewer system resources.
The default is platform-specific and usually sufficient. The default falls between the options provided
for your use with this command.
For all cef table output-chain build commands, the state is enabled, disabled, or use the system
defaults. To remove any configuration you must enter the default keyword with the command instead
of the no keyword. To disable an output chain-building characteristic, enter the no keyword.
The output of the show cef table command displays the current configuration and operational state of
the Cisco Express Forwarding table.
Individual Overrides
This command is used for troubleshooting purposes only.
Note Use this command only on the advice of field personnel from Cisco.
The use of the cef table output-chain build command with either the indirection or inplace-modify
keyword overrides specific Cisco Express Forwarding table output chain-building behavior. Indirection
characteristics are installed by default if the platform supports or permits their use.
The indirection keyword enables or disables the insertion of indirection objects for recursive or
nonrecursive prefixes or for both recursive and nonrecursive prefixes. Inserting an indirection object
into the forwarding chain allows the handling of any aggregate event that affects multiple prefixes by
the modification of the indirection object. For example, if a number of recursive prefixes all share the
same recursive nexthop, and the route to the recursive nexthop changes, a single update to an indirection
object can restore forwarding for those recursive prefixes.
If you configure the cef table output-chain build indirection command without a prefix type, recursive
and nonrecursive prefixes are explicitly enabled. This command would override any preference
configured with the existing cef table output-chain build favor command.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-10 March 2011
IP Switching Commands
cef table output-chain build
The inplace-modify keyword enables or disables the ability to modify certain objects in the forwarding
chain by modifying the data that an object holds. The alternative is a complete replacement of the object
and the relinking of all links to the object.
To return to system default settings for Cisco Express Forwarding table output chain building, use the
default form of the command.
The output of the show cef table command displays the current configuration and operational state of
the Cisco Express Forwarding table.
Examples The following example shows how to configure the use of less memory for table output chain building:
Router(config)# cef table output-chain build favor memory
Use this command if your priority is to save memory and your network does not require a faster
convergence speed for table output chain building for forwarding of network traffic.
Related Commands Command Description
show cef table Displays the configuration and operational state of the FIB.
show ip cef switching statistics Displays switching statistics in the FIB.

12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines Using the clear adjacency command repopulates adjacencies from sources. Any remaining stale
adjacencies (meaning those that fail to repopulate on request) are then purged. Layer 2 next hop
information is reevaluated.
Clearing adjacencies cause the adjacency table to repopulate from the Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping tables.
To reevaluate the mappings, clear the source information by using a Cisco IOS command, such as the
clear arp-cache command.
For Cisco 7500 Routers
On a distributed system, the adjacency tables that reside on line cards are always synchronized to the
adjacency table that resides on the Route/Switch Processor (RSP). Refreshing the adjacencies also
refreshes adjacencies on line cards and purges stale entries. (Entering the clear adjacency command on
a line card has no effect.)
Examples The following example clears the adjacency table:
Router# clear adjacency

12.2(33)SXH This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
Usage Guidelines This command is available only on distributed platforms (such as the Cisco 7500 series) running
distributed Cisco Express Forwarding.
Cisco Express Forwarding information on the line cards is cleared; however, Cisco Express Forwarding
information on the Route Processor (RP) is not affected.
After you clear Cisco Express Forwarding information from line cards, the corresponding information
from the RSP is propagated to the line cards. Interprocess communications (IPC) ensures that
Cisco Express Forwarding information on the Route Switch Processor (RSP) matches the Cisco Express
Forwarding information on the line cards.
Because this command might require significant processing resources and can cause dropped traffic or
system error messages about excessive CPU use, its use is recommended only as a last resort for
debugging or mitigating serious problems.
Note Cisco 10000 series routers do not support the clear cef linecard command.

12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines The clear cef table command clears the selected table or address family of tables (for IPv4 or IPv6) and
updates (refreshes) them throughout the router (including the Route Processor and line cards). The
command increments the table epoch, updates the tables, distributes the updated information to the line
cards, and performs a distributed purge of any stale entries in the tables based on the noncurrent epoch
number. This ensures that any inconsistencies that occurred over time are removed.
Because this command might require significant processing resources and can cause dropped traffic or
system error messages about excessive CPU use, its use is recommended only as a last resort for
debugging or mitigating serious problems.
Cisco Express Forwarding tables are also cleared automatically during bootup or online insertion and
removal (OIR) of line cards.
Note On the Cisco 10000 series routers, IPv6 is supported on Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB or later

12.2(33)SRA This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support
in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set,
platform, and platform hardware.
Usage Guidelines After you enter the ip cache-invalidate-delay command all cache invalidation requests are honored
immediately.
Caution This command should only be used under the guidance of technical support personnel. Incorrect settings
can seriously degrade network performance. The command-line-interface (CLI) will not allow you to
enter the ip cache-invalidate-delay command until you configure the service internal command in
global configuration mode.
The IP fast-switching and autonomous-switching features maintain a cache of IP routes for rapid access.
When a packet is to be forwarded and the corresponding route is not present in the cache, the packet is
process switched and a new cache entry is built. However, when routing table changes occur (such as
when a link or an interface goes down), the route cache must be flushed so that it can be rebuilt with
up-to-date routing information.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-42 March 2011
ip cache-invalidate-delay
This command controls how the route cache is flushed. The intent is to delay invalidation of the cache
until after routing has settled down. Because route table changes tend to be clustered in a short period
of time, and the cache may be flushed repeatedly, a high CPU load might be placed on the router.
When this feature is enabled, and the system requests that the route cache be flushed, the request is held
for at least minimum seconds. Then the system determines whether the cache has been quiet (that is,
less than threshold invalidation requests in the last quiet seconds). If the cache has been quiet, the cache
is then flushed. If the cache does not become quiet within maximum seconds after the first request, it is
flushed unconditionally.
Manipulation of these parameters trades off CPU utilization versus route convergence time. Timing of
the routing protocols is not affected, but removal of stale cache entries is affected.
Examples The following example shows how to set a minimum delay of 5 seconds, a maximum delay of 30
seconds, and a quiet threshold of no more than 5 invalidation requests in the previous 10 seconds:
Router(config)# service internal
Router(config)# ip cache-invalidate-delay 5 30 10 5

12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines Collecting statistics can help you better understand Cisco Express Forwarding patterns in your network.
When you enable network accounting for Cisco Express Forwarding from global configuration mode,
accounting information is collected at the Route Processor (RP) when Cisco Express Forwarding mode
is enabled and at the line cards when distributed Cisco Express Forwarding mode is enabled. You can
then display the collected accounting information using the show ip cef privileged EXEC command.
For prefixes with directly connected next hops, the non-recursive keyword enables express forwarding
of the collection of packets and bytes through a prefix. This keyword is optional when this command is
used in global configuration mode.
This command in interface configuration mode must be used in conjunction with the global
configuration command. The interface configuration command allows a user to specify two different
bins (internal or external) for the accumulation of statistics. The internal bin is used by default. The
statistics are displayed through the show ip cef detail command.
Per-destination load balancing uses a series of 16 hash buckets into which the set of available paths are
distributed. A hash function operating on certain properties of the packet is applied to select a bucket
that contains a path to use. The source and destination IP addresses are the properties used to select the
bucket for per-destination load balancing. Use the load-balance-hash keyword with the ip cef
accounting command to enable per-hash-bucket counters. Enter the show ip cef prefix internal
command to display the per-hash-bucket counters.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the collection of Cisco Express Forwarding accounting
information for prefixes directly connected to the next hops:
Router(config)# ip cef accounting non-recursive

ip cef load-sharing algorithm
Usage Guidelines The original Cisco Express Forwarding load-balancing algorithm produced distortions in load sharing
across multiple routers because of the use of the same algorithm on every router. When the
load-balancing algorithm is set to universal mode, each router on the network can make a different load
sharing decision for each source-destination address pair, and that resolves load-balancing distortions.
The tunnel algorithm is designed to share the load more fairly when only a few source-destination pairs
are involved.
The include-ports algorithm allows you to use the Layer 4 source and destination ports as part of the
load-balancing decision. This method benefits traffic streams running over equal-cost paths that are not
loadshared because the majority of the traffic is between peer addresses that use different port numbers,
such as Real-Time Protocol (RTP) streams. The include-ports algorithm is available in Cisco IOS
Release 12.4(11)T and later releases.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the Cisco Express Forwarding load-balancing algorithm
for tunnel environments:

Usage Guidelines When Cisco Express Forwarding is configured, the forwarding information base (FIB) table may
conflict with static host routes that are specified in terms of an output interface or created by a Layer 2
address resolution protocols such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), map lists, and so on.
The Layer 2 address resolution protocol adds adjacencies to Cisco Express Forwarding, which in turn
creates a corresponding host route entry in the FIB table. This entry is called an adjacency prefix.
override
If the Cisco Express Forwarding adjacency prefix entries are also configured by a static host route, a
conflict occurs.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-52 March 2011
ip cef table adjacency-prefix
This command ensures that adjacency prefixes can override static host glean routes, and correctly restore
routes when the adjacency prefix is deleted.
validate
When you add a /31 netmask route, the new netmask does not overwrite an existing /32 Cisco Express
Forwarding entry. This problem is resolved by configuring the validate keyword to periodically validate
prefixes derived from adjacencies in the FIB against prefixes originating from the RIB.

Table 2 CEF Detection Mechanism Types
Detection Mechanism Where Operates Description
lc-detect Line Card or Operates on the line card or module detecting and
Module retrieving IP prefixes that are missing from its FIB table.
If IP prefixes are missing, the line card or module cannot
forward packets for these addresses. The lc-detect
mechanism sends IP prefixes to the RP or rendezvous
point for confirmation. If the RP or rendezvous point
detects that it has the relevant entry, an inconsistency is
identified and an error message is displayed. Also, the
RP or rendezvous point sends a signal back to the line
card or module confirming that the IP prefix is an
inconsistency.
scan-lc Line Card or Operates on the line card or module by looking through
Module the FIB table for a configurable time period and sending
the next n prefixes to the RP or rendezvous point. The RP
or rendezvous point performs an exact lookup. If it finds
the prefix missing, the RP or rendezvous point reports an
inconsistency. Finally, the RP or rendezvous point sends
a signal back to the line card or module for confirmation.

ip cef table consistency-check
Table 2 CEF Detection Mechanism Types (continued)
Detection Mechanism Where Operates Description
scan-rp Route Processor Operates on the RP or rendezvous point (opposite of the
scan-lc) by looking through the FIB table for a
configurable time period and sending the next n prefixes
to the line card or module. The line card or module
performs an exact lookup. If it finds the prefix missing,
the line card or module reports an inconsistency and
finally signals the RP or rendezvous point for
confirmation.
scan-rib Route Processor Operates on all RPs or rendezvous points (even
nondistributed) and scans the RIB to ensure that prefix
entries are present in the RP or rendezvous point FIB
table.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the Cisco Express Forwarding consistency checkers:

Usage Guidelines The Cisco Express Forwarding background resolution timer can use either a fixed time interval or an
exponential backoff timer that reacts to the amount of resolution work required. The exponential backoff
timer starts at 1 second, increasing to 16 seconds when a network flap is in progress. When the network
recovers, the timer returns to 1 second.
The default is used for the exponential backoff timer. During normal operation, the default configuration
value set to 0 results in re-resolution occurring much sooner than when the timer is set at a higher fixed
interval.

mode. To restore the default values, use the no form of this command.
ip cef traffic-statistics [load-interval seconds] [update-rate seconds]
no ip cef traffic-statistics
Syntax Description load-interval seconds (Optional) Length of time (in 30-second increments) during which the
average trigger-threshold and teardown-threshold intervals are
calculated before an SVC setup or teardown action is taken. (These
thresholds are configured in the ip nhrp trigger-svc command.) The
load-interval range is from 30 seconds to 300 seconds, in 30-second

update-rate seconds (Optional) Frequency that the port adapter sends the accounting statistics
to the Route Processor (RP). When the route processor is using NHRP in
distributed Cisco Express Forwarding switching mode, this value must be
set to 5 seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.
Defaults Load interval: 30 seconds

Usage Guidelines The ip nhrp trigger-svc command sets the threshold by which NHRP sets up and tears down a
connection. The threshold is the Cisco Express Forwarding traffic load statistics. The thresholds in the
ip nhrp trigger-svc command are measured during a sampling interval of 30 seconds, by default. To
change that interval over which that threshold is determined, use the load-interval seconds option of the
ip cef traffic-statistics command.
When NHRP is configured on a Cisco Express Forwarding switching node with a Versatile Interface
Processor (VIP2) adapter, you must make sure the update-rate keyword is set to 5 seconds.
Other Cisco IOS features could also use the ip cef traffic-statistics command; this NHRP feature relies
on it.

12.2SX This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support
in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set,
platform, and platform hardware.
Usage Guidelines Per-packet load balancing allows the router to send data packets over successive equal-cost paths
without regard to individual destination hosts or user sessions. Path utilization is good, but packets
destined for a given destination host might take different paths and might arrive out of order.
Note Per-packet load balancing via Cisco Express Forwarding is not supported on Engine 2 Cisco 12000
series Internet router line cards (LCs).
Per-destination load balancing allows the router to use multiple, equal-cost paths to achieve load
sharing. Packets for a given source-destination host pair are guaranteed to take the same path, even if
multiple, equal-cost paths are available. Traffic for different source-destination host pairs tends to take
different paths.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-64 March 2011
ip load-sharing
Note If you want to enable per-packet load sharing to a particular destination, then all interfaces that can
forward traffic to the destination must be enabled for per-packet load sharing.
Note Per-packet load balancing can result in out-of-sequence (OOS) packet delivery errors on some routers,
which can cause applications such as VoIP to malfunction. Therefore, per-packet load balancing is not
recommended. For more information, see the release notes and caveats for your platform and software
release.

Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-66 March 2011
ip route-cache
Usage Guidelines IP Route Cache
Note The Cisco 10000 series routers do not support the ip route-cache command.
Using the route cache is often called fast switching. The route cache allows outgoing packets to be
load-balanced on a per-destination basis rather than on a per-packet basis. The ip route-cache command
with no additional keywords enables fast switching.
Entering the ip route-cache command has no effect on a subinterface. Subinterfaces accept the no form
of the command; however, this disables Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express
Forwarding on the physical interface and all subinterfaces associated with the physical interface
The default behavior for Fast Switching varies by interface and media.
Note IPv4 fast switching is removed with the implementation of the Cisco Express Forwarding infrastructure
enhancements for Cisco IOS 12.2(25)S-based releases and Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T. For these and
later Cisco IOS releases, switching path are Cisco Express Forwarding switched or process switched.
IP Route Cache Same Interface
You can enable IP fast switching when the input and output interfaces are the same interface, using the
ip route-cache same-interface command. This configuration normally is not recommended, although
it is useful when you have partially meshed media, such as Frame Relay or you are running Web Cache
Communication Protocol (WCCP) redirection. You could use this feature on other interfaces, although
it is not recommended because it would interfere with redirection of packets to the optimal path.
IP Route Cache Flow
The flow caching option can be used in conjunction with Cisco Express Forwarding switching to enable
NetFlow, which allows statistics to be gathered with a finer granularity. The statistics include IP
subprotocols, well-known ports, total flows, average number of packets per flow, and average flow
lifetime.
Note The ip route-cache flow command has the same functionality as the ip flow ingress command, which
is the preferred command for enabling NetFlow. If either the ip route-cache flow command or the
ip flow ingress command is configured, both commands will appear in the output of the
show running-config command.
IP Route Cache Distributed
The distributed option is supported on Cisco routers with line cards and Versatile Interface Processors
(VIPs) that support Cisco Express Forwarding switching.
On Cisco routers with Route/Switch Processor (RSP) and VIP controllers, the VIP hardware can be
configured to switch packets received by the VIP with no per-packet intervention on the part of the RSP.
When VIP distributed switching is enabled, the input VIP interface tries to switch IP packets instead of
forwarding them to the RSP for switching. Distributed switching helps decrease the demand on the RSP.
If the ip route-cache distributed, ip cef distributed, and ip route-cache flow commands are
configured, the VIP performs distributed Cisco Express Forwarding switching and collects a finer
granularity of flow statistics.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-67
ip route-cache
IP Route-Cache Cisco Express Forwarding
In some instances, you might want to disable Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express
Forwarding on a particular interface because that interface is configured with a feature that
Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding does not support. Because all
interfaces that support Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding are enabled
by default when you enable Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding
operation globally, you must use the no form of the ip route-cache distributed command in the
interface configuration mode to turn Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding
operation off a particular interface.
Disabling Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding on an interface disables
Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding switching for packets forwarded to
the interface, but does not affect packets forwarded out of the interface.
Additionally, when you disable distributed Cisco Express Forwarding on the RSP, Cisco IOS software
switches packets using the next-fastest switch path (Cisco Express Forwarding).
Enabling Cisco Express Forwarding globally disables distributed Cisco Express Forwarding on all
interfaces. Disabling Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding globally
enables process switching on all interfaces.
Note On the Cisco 12000 series Internet router, you must not disable distributed Cisco Express Forwarding
on an interface.
IP Route Cache Policy
If Cisco Express Forwarding is already enabled, the ip route-cache route command is not required
because PBR packets are Cisco Express Forwarding-switched by default.
Before you can enable fast-switched PBR, you must first configure PBR.
FSPBR supports all of PBRs match commands and most of PBRs set commands, with the following
restrictions:
The set ip default next-hop and set default interface commands are not supported.
The set interface command is supported only over point-to-point links, unless a route cache entry
exists using the same interface specified in the set interface command in the route map.
Also, at the process level, the routing table is consulted to determine if the interface is on a
reasonable path to the destination. During fast switching, the software does not make this check.
Instead, if the packet matches, the software blindly forwards the packet to the specified interface.
Note Not all switching methods are available on all platforms. Refer to the Cisco Product Catalog for
information about features available on the platform you are using.

12.2(33)SRA The ip verify unicast reverse-path command was integrated into
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
Usage Guidelines Use the ip verify unicast reverse-path interface command to mitigate problems caused by malformed
or forged (spoofed) IP source addresses that are received by a router. Malformed or forged source
addresses can indicate denial of service (DoS) attacks on the basis of source IP address spoofing.
When Unicast RPF is enabled on an interface, the router examines all packets that are received on that
interface. The router checks to ensure that the source address appears in the Forwarding Information
Base (FIB) and that it matches the interface on which the packet was received. This look backwards
ability is available only when Cisco Express Forwarding is enabled on the router because the lookup
relies on the presence of the FIB. Cisco Express Forwarding generates the FIB as part of its operation.
To use Unicast RPF, enable Cisco Express Forwarding switching or distributed Cisco Express
Forwarding switching in the router. There is no need to configure the input interface for Cisco Express
Forwarding switching. As long as Cisco Express Forwarding is running on the router, individual
interfaces can be configured with other switching modes.
Note It is very important for Cisco Express Forwarding to be configured globally in the router. Unicast RPF
will not work without Cisco Express Forwarding.
Note Unicast RPF is an input function and is applied on the interface of a router only in the ingress direction.
The Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding feature checks to determine whether any packet that is received
at a router interface arrives on one of the best return paths to the source of the packet. The feature does
this by doing a reverse lookup in the Cisco Express Forwarding table. If Unicast RPF does not find a
reverse path for the packet, Unicast RPF can drop or forward the packet, depending on whether an ACL
is specified in the Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding command. If an ACL is specified in the command,
then when (and only when) a packet fails the Unicast RPF check, the ACL is checked to determine
whether the packet should be dropped (using a deny statement in the ACL) or forwarded (using a permit
statement in the ACL). Whether a packet is dropped or forwarded, the packet is counted in the global IP
traffic statistics for Unicast RPF drops and in the interface statistics for Unicast RPF.
If no ACL is specified in the Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding command, the router drops the forged or
malformed packet immediately and no ACL logging occurs. The router and interface Unicast RPF
counters are updated.
Unicast RPF events can be logged by specifying the logging option for the ACL entries used by the
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding command. Log information can be used to gather information about
the attack, such as source address, time, and so on.
Where to Use RPF in Your Network
Unicast RPF may be used on interfaces in which only one path allows packets from valid source
networks (networks contained in the FIB). Unicast RPF may also be used in cases for which a router has
multiple paths to a given network, as long as the valid networks are switched via the incoming interfaces.
Packets for invalid networks will be dropped. For example, routers at the edge of the network of an
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-79
ip verify unicast reverse-path
Internet service provider (ISP) are likely to have symmetrical reverse paths. Unicast RPF may still be
applicable in certain multi-homed situations, provided that optional Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
attributes such as weight and local preference are used to achieve symmetric routing.
With Unicast RPF, all equal-cost best return paths are considered valid. This means that Unicast RPF
works in cases where multiple return paths exist, provided that each path is equal to the others in terms
of the routing cost (number of hops, weights, and so on) and as long as the route is in the FIB. Unicast
RPF also functions where Enhanced Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) variants are being used
and unequal candidate paths back to the source IP address exist.
For example, routers at the edge of the network of an ISP are more likely to have symmetrical reverse
paths than routers that are in the core of the ISP network. Routers that are in the core of the ISP network
have no guarantee that the best forwarding path out of the router will be the path selected for packets
returning to the router. In this scenario, you should use the new form of the command, ip verify unicast
source reachable-via, if there is a chance of asymmetrical routing.
Examples The following example shows that the Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding feature has been enabled on a
serial interface:
ip cef
! or "ip cef distributed" for RSP+VIP based routers
!
interface serial 5/0/0
ip verify unicast reverse-path
The following example uses a very simple single-homed ISP to demonstrate the concepts of ingress and
egress filters used in conjunction with Unicast RPF. The example illustrates an ISP-allocated classless
interdomain routing (CIDR) block 192.168.202.128/28 that has both inbound and outbound filters on the
upstream interface. Be aware that ISPs are usually not single-homed. Hence, provisions for
asymmetrical flows (when outbound traffic goes out one link and returns via a different link) need to be
designed into the filters on the border routers of the ISP.

The following example demonstrates the use of ACLs and logging with Unicast RPF. In this example,
extended ACL 197 provides entries that deny or permit network traffic for specific address ranges.
Unicast RPF is configured on Ethernet interface 0 to check packets arriving at that interface.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-80 March 2011
ip verify unicast reverse-path
For example, packets with a source address of 192.168.201.10 arriving at Ethernet interface 0 are
dropped because of the deny statement in ACL 197. In this case, the ACL information is logged (the
logging option is turned on for the ACL entry) and dropped packets are counted per-interface and
globally. Packets with a source address of 192.168.201.100 arriving at Ethernet interface 0 are
forwarded because of the permit statement in ACL 197. ACL information about dropped or suppressed
packets is logged (the logging option is turned on for the ACL entry) to the log server.

Usage Guidelines Use the ip verify unicast source reachable-via interface command to mitigate problems caused by
malformed or forged (spoofed) IP source addresses that pass through a router. Malformed or forged
source addresses can indicate DoS attacks based on source IP address spoofing.
To use Unicast RPF, enable Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding in the
router. There is no need to configure the input interface for Cisco Express Forwarding. As long as
Cisco Express Forwarding is running on the router, individual interfaces can be configured with other
switching modes.
Note It is important for Cisco Express Forwarding to be configured globally on the router. Unicast RPF does
not work without Cisco Express Forwarding.
Note Unicast RPF is an input function and is applied on the interface of a router only in the ingress direction.
When Unicast RPF is enabled on an interface, the router examines all packets that are received on that
interface. The router checks to make sure that the source address appears in the FIB. If the rx keyword
is selected, the source address must match the interface on which the packet was received. If the any
keyword is selected, the source address must be present only in the FIB. This ability to look backwards
is available only when Cisco Express Forwarding is enabled on the router because the lookup relies on
the presence of the FIB. Cisco Express Forwarding generates the FIB as part of its operation.
Note If the source address of an incoming packet is resolved to a null adjacency, the packet will be dropped.
The null interface is treated as an invalid interface by the new form of the Unicast RPF command. The
older form of the command syntax did not exhibit this behavior.
Unicast RPF checks to determine whether any packet that is received at a router interface arrives on one
of the best return paths to the source of the packet. If a reverse path for the packet is not found, Unicast
RPF can drop or forward the packet, depending on whether an ACL is specified in the Unicast RPF
command. If an ACL is specified in the command, when (and only when) a packet fails the Unicast RPF
check, the ACL is checked to determine whether the packet should be dropped (using a deny statement
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-83
ip verify unicast source reachable-via
in the ACL) or forwarded (using a permit statement in the ACL). Whether a packet is dropped or
forwarded, the packet is counted in the global IP traffic statistics for Unicast RPF drops and in the
interface statistics for Unicast RPF.
If no ACL is specified in the ip verify unicast source reachable-via command, the router drops the
forged or malformed packet immediately, and no ACL logging occurs. The router and interface Unicast
RPF counters are updated.
Unicast RPF events can be logged by specifying the logging option for the ACL entries that are used by
the ip verify unicast source reachable-via command. Log information can be used to gather
information about the attack, such as source address, time, and so on.
Strict Mode RPF
If the source address is in the FIB and reachable only through the interface on which the packet was
received, the packet is passed. The syntax for this method is ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx.
Exists-Only (or Loose Mode) RPF
If the source address is in the FIB and reachable through any interface on the router, the packet is passed.
The syntax for this method is ip verify unicast source reachable-via any.
Because this Unicast RPF option passes packets regardless of which interface the packet enters, it is
often used on Internet service provider (ISP) routers that are peered with other ISP routers (where
asymmetrical routing typically occurs). Packets using source addresses that have not been allocated on
the Internet, which are often used for spoofed source addresses, are dropped by this Unicast RPF option.
All other packets that have an entry in the FIB are passed.
allow-default
Normally, sources found in the FIB but only by way of the default route will be dropped. Specifying the
allow-default keyword option will override this behavior. You must specify the allow-default keyword
in the command to permit Unicast RPF to successfully match on prefixes that are known through the
default route to pass these packets.
allow-self-ping
This keyword allows the router to ping its own interface or interfaces. By default, when Unicast RPF is
enabled, packets that are generated by the router and destined to the router are dropped, thereby, making
certain troubleshooting and management tasks difficult to accomplish. Issue the allow-self-ping
keyword to enable self-pinging.
Caution Caution should be used when enabling the allow-self-ping keyword because this option opens a
potential DoS hole.
Using RPF in Your Network
Use Unicast RPF strict mode on interfaces where only one path allows packets from valid source
networks (networks contained in the FIB). Also, use Unicast RPF strict mode when a router has multiple
paths to a given network, as long as the valid networks are switched through the incoming interfaces.
Packets for invalid networks will be dropped. For example, routers at the edge of the network of an ISP
are likely to have symmetrical reverse paths. Unicast RPF strict mode is applicable in certain
multihomed situations, provided that optional Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attributes, such as weight
and local preference, are used to achieve symmetric routing.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-84 March 2011
ip verify unicast source reachable-via
Note With Unicast RPF, all equal-cost best return paths are considered valid. This means that Unicast RPF
works in cases where multiple return paths exist, provided that each path is equal to the others in terms
of the routing cost (number of hops, weights, and so on) and as long as the route is in the FIB. Unicast
RPF also functions where Enhanced Internet Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) variants are being used
and unequal candidate paths back to the source IP address exist.
Use Unicast RPF loose mode on interfaces where asymmetric paths allow packets from valid source
networks (networks contained in the FIB). Routers that are in the core of the ISP network have no
guarantee that the best forwarding path out of the router will be the path selected for packets returning
to the router.
IP and MAC Address Spoof Prevention
In Release 15.0(1)M and later, you can use the l2-src keyword to enable source IPv4 and source MAC
address binding. To disable source IPv4 and source MAC address binding, use the no form of the ip
verify unicast source reachable-via command.
If an inbound packet fails this security check, it will be dropped and the Unicast RPF dropped-packet
counter will be incremented. The only exception occurs if a numbered access control list has been
specified as part of the Unicast RPF command in strict mode, and the ACL permits the packet. In this
case the packet will be forwarded and the Unicast RPF suppressed-drops counter will be incremented.
Note The l2-src keyword cannot be used with the loose uRPF command, ip verify unicast source
reachable-via any command.
Not all platforms support the l2-src keyword. Therefore, not all the possible keyword combinations for

Examples Single-Homed ISP Connection with Unicast RPF
The following example uses a very simple single-homed ISP connection to demonstrate the concept of
Unicast RPF. In this example, an ISP peering router is connected through a single serial interface to one
upstream ISP. Hence, traffic flows into and out of the ISP will be symmetric. Because traffic flows will
be symmetric, a Unicast RPF strict-mode deployment can be configured.

ACLs and Logging with Unicast RPF
The following example demonstrates the use of ACLs and logging with Unicast RPF. In this example,
extended ACL 197 provides entries that deny or permit network traffic for specific address ranges.
Unicast RPF is configured on interface Ethernet 0/1/1 to check packets arriving at that interface.
For example, packets with a source address of 192.168.201.10 arriving at interface Ethernet 0/1/1 are
dropped because of the deny statement in ACL 197. In this case, the ACL information is logged (the
logging option is turned on for the ACL entry) and dropped packets are counted per-interface and
globally. Packets with a source address of 192.168.201.100 arriving at interface Ethernet 0/1/2 are
forwarded because of the permit statement in ACL 197. ACL information about dropped or suppressed
packets is logged (the logging option is turned on for the ACL entry) to the log server.

Usage Guidelines The ipv6 cef accounting command is similar to the ip cef accounting command, except that it is
IPv6-specific.
Configuring Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 network accounting enables you to collect statistics on
Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 traffic patterns in your network.
When you enable network accounting for Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 by using the ipv6 cef
accounting command in global configuration mode, accounting information is collected at the Route
Processor (RP) when Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 mode is enabled and at the line cards when
distributed Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 mode is enabled. You can then display the collected
accounting information using the show ipv6 cef EXEC command.
For prefixes with directly connected next hops, the non-recursive keyword enables express forwarding
of the collection of packets and bytes through a prefix. This keyword is optional when this command is
used in global configuration mode after you enter another keyword on the ipv6 cef accounting
command.
This command in interface configuration mode must be used in conjunction with the global
configuration command. The interface configuration command allows a user to specify two different
bins (internal or external) for the accumulation of statistics. The internal bin is used by default. The
statistics are displayed through the show ipv6 cef detail command.
Per-destination load balancing uses a series of 16 hash buckets into which the set of available paths are
distributed. A hash function operating on certain properties of the packet is applied to select a bucket
that contains a path to use. The source and destination IP addresses are the properties used to select the
bucket for per-destination load balancing. Use the load-balance-hash keyword with the ipv6 cef
accounting command to enable per-hash-bucket counters. Enter the show ipv6 cef prefix internal
command to display the per-hash-bucket counters.
Examples The following example enables the collection of Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 accounting
information for prefixes with directly connected next hops:
Router(config)# ipv6 cef accounting non-recursive

ipv6 cef load-sharing algorithm
Usage Guidelines The ipv6 cef load-sharing algorithm command is similar to the ip cef load-sharing algorithm
command, except that it is IPv6-specific.
When the Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 load-balancing algorithm is set to universal mode, each
router on the network can make a different load-sharing decision for each source-destination address
pair.
The include-ports algorithm allows you to use the Layer 4 source and destination ports as part of the
load-balancing decision. This method benefits traffic streams running over equal-cost paths that are not
load-shared because the majority of the traffic is between peer addresses that use different port numbers,
such as Real-Time Protocol (RTP) streams.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the Cisco Express Forwarding load-balancing algorithm
for IPv6 for Layer-4 source and destination ports:
Router(config)# ipv6 cef load-sharing algorithm include-ports source destination
The router automatically generates fixed IDs for the algorithm.

introduced on the 10G Engine 5 SPA Interface Processor in the Cisco 12000
series Internet router.
12.2(28)SB This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
Usage Guidelines The ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path command is used to enable Unicast RPF for IPv6 in strict
checking mode. The Unicast RPF for IPv6 feature requires that Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 is
enabled on the router.
Note Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(31)S, the Cisco 12000 series Internet router supports both the
ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path and ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via rx commands to
enable Unicast RPF to be compatible with the Cisco IOS Release 12.3T and 12.2S software trains.
Use the ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path command to mitigate problems caused by malformed or
forged (spoofed) IP source addresses that pass through a router. Malformed or forged source addresses
can indicate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks based on source IP address spoofing.
When Unicast RPF is enabled on an interface, the router examines all packets received on that interface.
The router checks to make sure that the source IPv6 address appears in the routing table and that it is
reachable by a path through the interface on which the packet was received. Unicast RPF is an input
feature and is applied only on the input interface of a router at the upstream end of a connection.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-98 March 2011
ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path
The Unicast RPF feature performs a reverse lookup in the CEF table to check if any packet received at
a router interface has arrived on a path identified as a best return path to the source of the packet. If a
reverse path for the packet is not found, Unicast RPF can drop or forward the packet, depending on
whether an ACL is specified in the Unicast RPF command. If an ACL is specified in the command, then
when (and only when) a packet fails the Unicast RPF check, the ACL is checked to determine whether
the packet should be dropped (using a deny statement in the ACL) or forwarded (using a permit
statement in the ACL). Whether a packet is dropped or forwarded, the packet is counted in the global IP
traffic statistics for Unicast RPF drops and in the interface statistics for Unicast RPF.
If no ACL is specified in the Unicast RPF command, the router drops the forged or malformed packet
immediately and no ACL logging occurs. The router and interface Unicast RPF counters are updated.
Unicast RPF events can be logged by specifying the logging option for the ACL entries used by the
Unicast RPF command. Log information can be used to gather information about the attack, such as
source address, time, and so on.
Note When you configure Unicast RPF for IPv6 on the Cisco 12000 series Internet router, the most recently
configured checking mode is not automatically applied to all interfaces as on other platforms. You must
enable Unicast RPF for IPv6 separately on each interface.
When you configure a SPA on the Cisco 12000 series Internet router, the interface address is in the
format slot/subslot/port.
The optional access-list keyword for the ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path command is not supported
on the Cisco 12000 series Internet router. For information about how Unicast RPF can be used with
ACLs on other platforms to mitigate the transmission of invalid IPv4 addresses (perform egress filtering)
and to prevent (deny) the reception of invalid IPv4 addresses (perform ingress filtering), refer to the
Configuring Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding chapter in the Other Security Features section of the
Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide.
Note When using Unicast RPF, all equal-cost best return paths are considered valid. This means that
Unicast RPF works in cases where multiple return paths exist, provided that each path is equal to the
others in terms of the routing cost (number of hops, weights, and so on).
Do not use Unicast RPF on core-facing interfaces that are internal to the network. Internal interfaces are
likely to have routing asymmetry, meaning that there are multiple routes to the source of a packet. Apply
Unicast RPF only where there is natural or configured symmetry.
For example, routers at the edge of the network of an Internet service provider (ISP) are more likely to
have symmetrical reverse paths than routers that are in the core of the ISP network. Routers that are in
the core of the ISP network have no guarantee that the best forwarding path out of the router will be the
path selected for packets returning to the router. Hence, it is not recommended that you apply Unicast
RPF where there is a chance of asymmetric routing. It is simplest to place Unicast RPF only at the edge
of a network or, for an ISP, at the customer edge of the network.
Examples Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding on a Serial Interface
The following example shows how to enable the Unicast RPF feature on a serial interface:

Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding on a Single-Homed ISP
The following example uses a very simple single-homed ISP to demonstrate the concepts of ingress and
egress filters used in conjunction with Unicast RPF. The example illustrates an ISP-allocated classless
interdomain routing (CIDR) block 209.165.202.128/28 that has both inbound and outbound filters on the
upstream interface. Be aware that ISPs are usually not single-homed. Hence, provisions for
asymmetrical flows (when outbound traffic goes out one link and returns via a different link) need to be
designed into the filters on the border routers of the ISP.

ACL Logging with Unicast RPF
The following example demonstrates the use of ACLs and logging with Unicast RPF. In this example,
extended ACL abc provides entries that deny or permit network traffic for specific address ranges.
Unicast RPF is configured on interface Ethernet 0/0 to check packets arriving at that interface.
For example, packets with a source address of 8765:4321::1 arriving at Ethernet interface 0 are dropped
because of the deny statement in ACL abc. In this case, the ACL information is logged (the logging
option is turned on for the ACL entry) and dropped packets are counted per-interface and globally.
Packets with a source address of 1234:5678::1 arriving at Ethernet interface 0/0 are forwarded because
of the permit statement in ACL abc. ACL information about dropped or suppressed packets is logged
(the logging option is turned on for the ACL entry) to the log server.

ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via
ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via
To verify that a source address exists in the FIB table and enable Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding
(Unicast RPF), use the ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via command in interface configuration
mode. To disable URPF, use the no form of this command.
ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via {rx | any} [allow-default] [allow-self-ping]

12.2(28)SB This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB.
Cisco IOS XE This command was introduced on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Release 2.1 Services Routers.
Usage Guidelines The ipv6 verify unicast reverse-path command is used to enable Unicast RPF for IPv6 in loose
checking mode.
Use the ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via command to mitigate problems caused by malformed
or forged (spoofed) IP source addresses that pass through an IPv6 router. Malformed or forged source
addresses can indicate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks based on source IPv6 address spoofing.
The URPF feature checks to see if any packet received at a router interface arrives on one of the best
return paths to the source of the packet. The feature does this by doing a reverse lookup in the CEF table.
If URPF does not find a reverse path for the packet, U RPF can drop or forward the packet, depending
on whether an access control list (ACL) is specified in the ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via
command. If an ACL is specified in the command, then when (and only when) a packet fails the URPF
check, the ACL is checked to see if the packet should be dropped (using a deny statement in the ACL)
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-102 March 2011
ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via
or forwarded (using a permit statement in the ACL). Whether a packet is dropped or forwarded, the
packet is counted in the global IP traffic statistics for U RPF drops and in the interface statistics for
Unicast RPF.
If no ACL is specified in the ipv6 verify unicast source reachable-via command, the router drops the
forged or malformed packet immediately and no ACL logging occurs. The router and interface Unicast
RPF counters are updated.
U RPF events can be logged by specifying the logging option for the ACL entries used by the ipv6 verify
unicast source reachable-via command. Log information can be used to gather information about the
attack, such as source address, time, and so on.
Examples The following example enables Unicast RPF on any interface:

mls cef maximum-routes
Usage Guidelines
Note If you copy a configuration file that contains the multilayer switching (MLS) Cisco Express Forwarding
maximum routes into the startup-config file and reload the Cisco 7600 series router, the Cisco 7600
series router reloads after it reboots.
This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor
Engine 2.
The mls cef maximum-routes command limits the maximum number of the routes that can be
programmed in the hardware. If routes are detected that exceed the limit for that protocol, an exception
condition is generated.
The determination of XL and non-XL mode is based on the type of Policy Feature Card (PFC) or
Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) modules that are installed in your system. For additional
information on systems running Cisco IOS software release 12.2SXF and earlier releases see:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SXF/native/release/notes/OL_41

Policy_Feature_Card_Guidelines_and_Restrictions
The valid values for the maximum-routes argument depend on the system modeXL mode or non-XL
mode. The valid values are as follows:
XL mode
IP and MPLSUp to 1,007,000 routes
IP multicast and IPv6Up to 503,000 routes
Non-XL mode
IP and MPLSUp to 239,000 routes
IP multicast and IPv6Up to 119,000 routes
Note The maximum values that you are permitted to configure is not fixed but varies depending on the values
that are allocated for other protocols.
An example of how to enter the maximum routes argument is as follows:
mls cef maximum-routes ip 4
where 4 is 4096 IP routes (1024 x4 = 4096).
The new configurations are applied after a system reload only and do not take effect if a switchover
occurs.
In RPR mode, if you change and save the maximum-routes configuration, the redundant supervisor
engine reloads when it becomes active from either a switchover or a system reload. The reload occurs
5 minutes after the supervisor engine becomes active.
Use the show mls cef maximum-routes command to display the current maximum routes system
configuration.

A lower value indicates a higher priority.
When a protocol sees a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table exception, the protocol notifies the FIB
Embedded Resource Manager (ERM). The FIB ERM periodically polls the FIB table exception status
and decides which protocol gets priority over another protocol when multiple protocols are running
under the exception. Only one protocol can attempt to recover from an exception at any time.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference

Certain denial-of-service attacks target the route processing engines of routers. Certain packets that
cannot be forwarded by the Policy Feature Card (PFC) are directed to the Multilayer Switch Feature
Card (MSFC) for processing. Denial-of-service attacks can overload the route processing engine and
cause routing instability when running dynamic routing protocols. You can use the mls ip cef rate-limit
command to limit the amount of traffic that is sent to the MSFC to prevent denial-of-service attacks
against the route processing engine.
This command rate limits all Cisco Express Forwarding-punted data packets including the following:
Data packets going to the local interface IP address
Data packets requiring Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Setting the rate to a low value could impact the packets that are destined to the IP addresses of the local

Usage Guidelines Use the monitor event-trace command to control what, when, and how event trace data is collected.
Use this command after you have configured the event trace functionality on the networking device
using the monitor event-trace command in global configuration mode.
Note The amount of data collected from the trace depends on the trace message size configured using
the monitor event-trace command in global configuration mode for each instance of a trace.
The Cisco IOS software allows for the subsystem components to define whether support for event
tracing is enabled or disabled at boot time. You can enable or disable event tracing in two ways: using
the monitor event-trace command in privileged EXEC mode or using the monitor event-trace
command in global configuration mode. To disable event tracing, you would enter either of these
commands with the disable keyword. To enable event tracing again, you would enter either of these
commands with the enable keyword.
To determine whether you can enable event tracing on a subsystem, use the monitor event-trace ?
command to get a list of software components that support event tracing. To determine whether event
tracing is enabled by default for the subsystem, use the show monitor event-trace command to display
trace messages.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-121
monitor event-trace (EXEC)
Use the show monitor event-trace command to display trace messages. Use the monitor event-trace
component dump command to save trace message information for a single event. By default, trace
information is saved in binary format. If you want to save trace messages in ASCII format, possibly for
additional application processing, use the monitor event-trace component dump pretty command.
To write the trace messages for all events currently enabled on a networking device to a file, enter the
monitor event-trace dump command.
To configure the file where you want to save trace information, use the monitor event-trace command
in global configuration mode. The trace messages are saved in a binary format.
Examples The following example shows the privileged EXEC commands to stop event tracing, clear the current
contents of memory, and reenable the trace function for the interprocess communication (IPC)
component. This example assumes that the tracing function is configured and enabled on the networking
device.
Router# monitor event-trace ipc disable
Router# monitor event-trace ipc clear
Router# monitor event-trace ipc enable
The following example shows how the monitor event-trace one-shot command accomplishes the same
function as the previous example except in one command. In this example, once the size of the trace
message file has been exceeded, the trace is terminated.
Router# monitor event-trace ipc one-shot
The following example shows the command for writing trace messages for an event in binary format. In
this example, the trace messages for the IPC component are written to a file.

12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines Use the monitor event-trace command to enable or disable event tracing and to configure event trace
parameters for Cisco IOS software subsystem components.
Note Event tracing is intended for use as a software diagnostic tool and should be configured only under the
direction of a Technical Assistance Center (TAC) representative. In Cisco IOS software images that do
not provide subsystem support for the event trace function, the monitor event-trace command is not
available.
The Cisco IOS software allows the subsystem components to define whether support for event tracing
is enabled or disabled by default. The command interface for event tracing allows you to change the
default two ways: using the monitor event-trace command in privileged EXEC mode or using the
monitor event-trace command in global configuration mode.
Additionally, default settings do not show up in the configuration file. If the subsystem software enables
event tracing by default, the monitor event-trace component enable command will not show up in the
configuration file of the networking device; however, disabling event tracing that has been enabled by
default by the subsystem will create a command entry in the configuration file.
Note The amount of data collected from the trace depends on the trace message size configured using the
monitor event-trace command for each instance of a trace.
To determine whether you can enable event tracing on a subsystem, use the monitor event-trace ?
command to get a list of software components that support event tracing.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-124 March 2011
monitor event-trace (global)
To determine whether event tracing is enabled by default for the subsystem, use the show monitor
event-trace command to display trace messages.
To specify the trace call stack at tracepoints, you must first clear the trace buffer.
Examples The following example shows how to enable event tracing for the interprocess communication (IPC)
subsystem component in Cisco IOS software and configure the size to 4096 messages. The trace
messages file is set to ipc-dump in slot0 (flash memory).
configure terminal
!
monitor event-trace ipc enable
monitor event-trace ipc dump-file slot0:ipc-dump
monitor event-trace ipc size 4096
When you select Cisco Express Forwarding as the component for which to enable event tracing, you can
use the following additional arguments and keywords: monitor event-trace cef [events | interface |
ipv6 | ipv4][all]. The following example shows how to enable event tracing for IPv4 or IPv6 events of
the Cisco Express Forwarding component in Cisco IOS software:
configure terminal
!
monitor event-trace cef ipv4 enable
configure terminal
!
monitor event-trace cef ipv6 enable
exit
The following example shows what happens when you try to enable event tracing for a component (in
this case, adjacency events) when it is already enabled:
configure terminal
!
monitor event-trace adjacency enable
%EVENT_TRACE-6-ENABLE: Trace already enabled.

12.2(25)S This command was introduced.
12.2(28)SB This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB and
implemented on the Cisco 10000 series routers.
12.2(33)SRA This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2(33)SXH This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
Cisco IOS XE This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1 and
Release 2.1 implemented on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
Usage Guidelines Use the monitor event-trace cef ipv6 command to enable or disable event tracing for Cisco Express
Forwarding IPv6 events.
The Cisco IOS software allows Cisco Express Forwarding to define whether support for event tracing is
enabled or disabled by default. The command interface for event tracing allows you to change the default
value in one of two ways: using the monitor event-trace cef ipv6 command in privileged EXEC mode
or using the monitor event-trace cef ipv6 command in global configuration mode.
Note The amount of data collected from the trace depends on the trace message size configured using the
monitor event-trace cef ipv6 command for each instance of a trace.
To determine whether event tracing is enabled by default for Cisco Express Forwarding IPv6 events, use
the show monitor event-trace cef ipv6 command to display trace messages.
To specify the trace call stack at tracepoints, you must first clear the trace buffer.
Examples The following example shows how to enable event tracing for Cisco Express Forwarding IPv6 events
and configure the buffer size to 10000 messages.
Router(config)# monitor event-trace cef ipv6 enable
Router(config)# monitor event-trace cef ipv6 size 10000

Usage Guidelines Use this command to display and monitor information about traffic forwarded by Cisco Express
Forwarding.
A line card might drop packets because of encapsulation failure, absence of route information, or
absence of adjacency information.
A packet is punted (sent to another switch path) because Cisco Express Forwarding may not support a
specified encapsulation or feature, the packet may be destined for the router, or the packet may have IP
options (such as time stamp and record route). IP options are process switched.
Examples The following example shows how to display Cisco Express Forwarding accounting information:
Router# show cef accounting

Usage Guidelines A line card might drop packets because of encapsulation failure, absence of route information, or
absence of adjacency information.
A packet is sent to a different switching path (punted) because Cisco Express Forwarding does not
support the encapsulation or feature, the packet is destined for the router, or the packet has IP options,
such as time stamp and record route. IP options are process switched.

Note If Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 is enabled
globally on the router, the show cef drop command displays IPv6 Cisco Express Forwarding counter
information and IPv4 Cisco Express Forwarding counter information. If Cisco Express Forwarding for
IPv6 or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 is not enabled globally on the router, the
command displays only IPv4 Cisco Express Forwarding counter information.

Table 11 show cef drop Field Descriptions
Field Description
Slot The slot number on which the packets were received.
Encap_fail Indicates the number of packets dropped after exceeding the limit for
packets punted to the processor due to missing adjacency information
(Cisco Express Forwarding throttles packets passed up to the process
level at a rate of one packet every two seconds).
Unresolved Indicates the number of packets dropped due to an unresolved prefix
in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table.
Unsupported Indicates the number of packets fast-dropped by Cisco Express
Forwarding (drop adjacency).
No_route Indicates the number of packets dropped due to a missing prefix in
the FIB table.
No_adj Indicates the number of packets dropped due to incomplete
adjacency.
ChksumErr Indicates the number of IPv4 packets received with a checksum error.
Note This field is not supported for IPv6 packets.

The number of lines in the output of the show cef interface policy-statistics command varies from
platform to platform. The software switched platforms support 64 input and 64 output counters and thus
64 lines of output. The Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series routers support seven input
and seven output counters and seven lines of output.
You enable BGP policy accounting on a particular interface when you enter the bgp-policy accounting
command in interface configuration mode. To define the conditions for BGP policy accounting, you use
the set traffic-index command in route-map configuration mode, the route-map command in global
configuration mode, the table-map command in route-map configuration mode, and the match
command in route-map configuration mode. The table-map command adds the named route map to the
BGP routing table. BGP uses the route map name to set traffic indexes for routes in the IP routing table.
The match commands specify the match criteriathe conditions under which policy routing occurs. The
set traffic-index command sets the traffic indexes for matching prefixes. The show ip cef detail
command displays the traffic index for any particular route.

Command History Release Modification
12.3 This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines Use the show interfaces switching command to show which path the router uses and how the traffic is
switched. This command is also useful for troubleshooting CPU utilization.
Statistics for packets in, bytes in, packets out, and bytes out are displayed for the available protocols.
The statistics are arranged by process, cache misses, fast-path, and autonomous path. All values
displayed by the show interfaces switching command are absolute. The clear interface counters
command has no effect on these values.
You must enter at least seven characters of the switching keyword (switchi) when you use the show
interfaces switching command.
Examples The following shows sample output from the show interfaces switching command:

show interfaces switching
Table 31 describes the significant fields shown in the display.
Table 31 show interfaces switching Field Descriptions
Field Description
Throttle count Number of times input packet processing was throttled on this interface.
Drops RPNumber of packets dropped for input congestion.
SPNumber of packets flushed by external throttling.
SPD Flushes FastNumber of packets flushed by selective packet discard on RP.
SSENumber of packets flushed by external selective packet discard.
SPD Aggress FastInput packets dropped by aggressive selective packet discard.
SPD Priority InputsNumber of priority packets received.
DropsNumber of priority packets dropped.
Protocol Name of the protocol for which packet switching information is displayed.
Switching Path Indicates the traffic switching path.
Pkts In Number of incoming packets.
Chars In Number of incoming bytes.
Pkts Out Number of outgoing packets.
Chars Out Number of outgoing bytes.
Process Process switching. With this type of switching, an incoming packet is associated
with a destination network or subnet entry in the routing table located in main
memory. Process switching is performed by the system processor.
Cache misses Packets that were forwarded through the process level (for which there was no
entry in fast switching cache).
Fast Fast switching. With this type of switching, an incoming packet matches an entry
in the fast-switching cache located in main memory. Fast switching is done via
asynchronous interrupts, which are handled in real time. Fast switching allows
higher throughput by switching a packet using a cache created by previous
packets.
Auton Autonomous switching. With this type of switching, an incoming packet matches
an entry in the autonomous-switching cache located on the interface processor.
Autonomous switching provides faster packet switching by allowing the ciscoBus
controller to switch packets independently without having to interrupt the system
processor. It is available only on Cisco 7000 series routers and in AGS+ systems
with high-speed network controller cards.
SSE Silicon switching engine switching. With this type of switching, an incoming
packet matches an entry in the silicon-switching cache located in the silicon
switching engine (SSE) of the Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) module. This
module is available only on Cisco 7000 series routers. Silicon switching provides
very fast, dedicated packet switching by allowing the SSE to switch packets
independently without having to interrupt the system processor.

show ip cef switching statistics
Table 43 show ip cef switching statistics Field Descriptions
Field Description
Path Switch path where the feature was executed. Available switch paths are
platform-dependent.
Following are example switch paths for the Cisco 7200 series router:
RIBprocess switching with Cisco Express Forwarding assistance
(low-end switching [LES])Cisco Express Forwarding switch path
PASCisco Express Forwarding turbo switch path
Following are example switch paths for the Cisco 7500 series router:
RIBcentralized process switching with Cisco Express Forwarding assistance
LEScentralized Cisco Express Forwarding switch path on the Route/Switch
Processor (RSP)
RSPcentralized Cisco Express Forwarding turbo switch path on the RSP
Slot NNdistributed Cisco Express Forwarding turbo switch path on the Versatile
Interface Processor (VIP) in the indicated slot number
Feature Feature that returned the statistics.
Reason Packet description.
Consume Number of packets that the feature removed from the switch path (and will probably
reintroduce to the switch path later). For example, with crypto with hardware acceleration,
the feature might queue the packets to encryption and decryption; because hardware (and
software) encryption is time-consuming, these packets are queued so the main processor
can begin handling the next packet while the crypto module processes the removed packet.
Also, for example, the feature might queue the packets for process switching through a
private queue for that feature.
Drop Number of packets dropped.
Punt Number of packets that could not be switched in the normal path and were punted to the
next-fastest switching vector.
Punt2Host Number of packets that could not be switched in the normal path and were punted to the
host.
For switch paths other than a centralized turbo switch path, punt and punt2host function
the same way. With punt2host from a centralized turbo switch path (PAS and RSP), punt
will punt the packet to LES, but punt2host will bypass LES and punt directly to process
switching.
New i/f Number of packets for which the feature provided Cisco Express Forwarding with
forwarding information (that is, bypassed the normal route lookup).

Table 60 show ip traffic Field Descriptions
Field Description
format errors Indicates a gross error in the packet format, such as an impossible Internet
header length.
bad hop count Occurs when a packet is discarded because its time-to-live (TTL) field was
decremented to zero.
encapsulation failed Usually indicates that the router had no Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
request entry and therefore did not send a datagram.
no route Counted when the Cisco IOS software discards a datagram that it did not
know how to route.
Related Commands Command Description
clear ip traffic Clears the global or system-wide IP traffic statistics for one or more
interfaces.

Command History Release Modification
12.2(14)SX Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(17d)SXB Support for this command on the Supervisor Engine 2 was extended to the
12.2 SX release.
12.2(33)SRA This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
Usage Guidelines The decap-tunnel and endcap-tunnel keywords are used to display the tunnel nodes. The encapsulator
node is considered the tunnel-entry point and the decapsulator node is considered the tunnel-exit point.
There may be multiple source-destination pairs using the same tunnel between the encapsulator and
decapsulator.
The decap-tunnel and endcap-tunnel keywords are not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are
configured with a Supervisor Engine 720.
The flags keyword applies to all adjacency formats (for example, mac-rewrite, mpls, and multicast) and
indicates the bits that are set in the adjacency for the specific adjacency.
The module number keyword and argument designate the module and port number. Valid values depend
on the chassis and module used. For example, if you have a 48-port 10/100BASE-T Ethernet module
installed in a 13-slot chassis, valid values for the module number are from 1 to 13 and valid values for
the port number are from 1 to 48.
MLS-hardware Layer 3 switching applies to IP traffic only.
MLS-hardware Layer 3-switching adjacency statistics are updated every 60 seconds.
You can display hardware-switched IP-directed broadcast information by entering the show mls cef
adjacency mac-address number detail command.
For each MLS-hardware Layer 3-switching Forwarding Information Base (FIB) entry, MLS-hardware
Layer 3 switching stores Layer 2 information from the MSFC2 for adjacent nodes in the MLS-hardware
Layer 3-switching adjacency table. Adjacent nodes are directly connected at Layer 2. To forward traffic,
MLS-hardware Layer 3 switching selects a route from a MLS-hardware Layer 3-switching FIB entry,
which points to a MLS-hardware Layer 3-switching adjacency entry, and uses the Layer 2 header for the
adjacent node in the adjacency table entry to rewrite the packet during Layer 3 switching. MLS-hardware
Layer 3 switching supports one million adjacency-table entries.

{G,C}G indicates a destination MAC address, which is derived from an IP-multicast address, and
C indicates the ingress VLAN.
{S,G,C}S indicates the source IP address, G indicates the destination IP address, which is a
multicast address, and C indicates the ingress VLAN, which is usually the RPF VLAN of the flow.
{S,G}Multicast-routing table entry that is maintained by the software or a multicast-forwarding
table entry that is created in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) table.
{*,G}Same as {S,G}, except that the source address is a wildcard.
The designated forwarder (DF) index field ranges from 1 to 4 and is an index into the acceptance
(Protocol Independent Multicast [PIM] Route Processors (RPs) multiplied by the DF) table. The
acceptance table is used with DF forwarding and is used to identify the set of DF interfaces for each of
the four RPs in a VPN.

show mls cef ipv6
show mls cef ipv6
To display the hardware IPv6-switching table entries, use the show mls cef ipv6 command in privileged
EXEC mode.
show mls cef ipv6 [vrf vrf-name] [ip-address/mask] [accounting per-prefix] [module number]
show mls cef ipv6 exact-route src-addr [L4-src-port] dst-addr [L4-dst-port]
show mls cef ipv6 multicast tcam [v6mcast-address] [detail] [internal]
Syntax Description vrf (Optional) IPv6 Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF)
instance.
vrf-name (Optional) VRF name.
ip-address/mask (Optional) Entry IPv6 address and prefix mask. Valid values for the mask argument
are from 0 through 128.
accounting (Optional) Displays per-prefix accounting statistics.

internal (Optional) Displays internal hardware information.
Command Modes Privileged EXEC (#)
Command History Release Modification
12.2(17a)SX This command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(17b)SXA The output was changed to display multicast protocol information in the Forwarding
Information Base (FIB) driver.
12.2(33)SRA This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2(33)SRB1 This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRB1.
Usage Guidelines This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor
Engine 2.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
ISW-306 March 2011
show mls cef ipv6
You can enter this command on the supervisor engine and Multilayer Switching (MLS)-hardware
Layer 3-switching module consoles only. Enter the remote login command to enter a session into the
supervisor engine and distributed forwarding card (DFC)-equipped module to enter the commands.
When entering the ip-address/mask argument, use this format, X:X:X:X::X/mask, where valid values for
mask are from 0 to 128.
Up to 64 IPv6 prefixes are supported.
You must enter the L4-src-port and L4-dst-port arguments when the load-sharing mode is set to full, for
example, when Layer 4 ports are included in the load-sharing hashing algorithm.

Usage Guidelines Use the show monitor event-trace command to display trace message information.
The trace function is not locked while information is being displayed to the console, which means that
new trace messages can accumulate in memory. If entries accumulate faster than they can be displayed,
some messages can be lost. If this happens, the show monitor event-trace command will generate a
message indicating that some messages might be lost; however, messages will continue to display on the
console. If the number of lost messages is excessive, the show monitor event-trace command will stop
displaying messages.
Use the bfd keyword for the component argument to display trace messages relating to the BFD feature.
Use the cfd keyword for the component argument to display trace messages relating to the crypto fault
detection feature. This keyword displays the contents of the error trace buffers in an encryption data path.
Examples IPC Component Example

show monitor event-trace cef
Usage Guidelines Use the show monitor event-trace cef command to display trace message information for Cisco Express
Forwarding.
The trace function is not locked while information is displayed to the console, which means that new
trace messages can accumulate in memory. If entries accumulate faster than they can be displayed, some
messages can be lost. If this happens, the show monitor event-trace cef command generates a message
indicating that some messages might be lost; however, messages continue to display on the console. If
the number of lost messages is excessive, the show monitor event-trace cef command stops displaying
messages.
Examples The following is sample output from the show monitor event-trace cef all command:

12.4(20)T This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.
Usage Guidelines Use the show monitor event-trace cef ipv4 command to display trace message information for
Cisco Express Forwarding IPv4 events.
The trace function is not locked while information is displayed to the console. This means that new trace
messages can accumulate in memory. If entries accumulate faster than they can be displayed, some
messages can be lost. If this happens, the show monitor event-trace cef ipv4 command generates a
message indicating that some messages might be lost; however, messages continue to be displayed on
the console. If the number of lost messages is excessive, the show monitor event-trace cef ipv4
command stops displaying messages.
Examples The following is sample output from the show monitor event-trace cef ipv4 all command:
Router# show monitor event-trace cef ipv4 all
*Aug 22 20:14:59.075: [Default] *.*.*.*/* Allocated FIB table

Syntax Description security (Optional) Displays information about the security ACLs defined in
Cisco IOS and compiled to the PXF. Also displays information about split
ACLs, such as how much memory has been used.
tcam acl-name (Optional) Displays information about the specified security ACL stored in
ternary content addressable memory (TCAM).
This option is only available on the PRE3 for the Cisco 10000 series router.
detail (Optional) Displays decoded information about the packet fields used for
matching in the TCAM.
flex-sum (Optional) Displays summary information describing the amount of memory
allocated in the parallel express forwarding (PXF) engine for use by the
flexible key construction microcode. This information is useful for design
teams.
This option is only available on the PRE3 for the Cisco 10000 series router.
children (Optional) Displays information for child policies. If an ACL is a template
child, the output typically does not display the child information. Specifying
the children keyword displays data for child policies, too, and shows the
children and the parent policy of each child.
Use caution when using the children keyword as there might be thousands
of child policies configured, which could have negative effects on the
command output.
qos (Optional) Displays information about the QoS ACLs defined in Cisco IOS
and compiled to the PXF.
pbr (Optional) Displays information about ACLs for policy-based routing (PBR).
compiled (Optional) Displays information for all compiled Turbo-ACLs.
The PRE2 supports Turbo-ACLs and the compiled option. The PRE3
accepts the PRE2 compiled option, but does not implement Turbo-ACLs.

router.
12.2(31)SB2 This command was introduced on the PRE3 for the Cisco 10000 series
router.
Usage Guidelines Cisco 10000 Series Router (PRE2)
Because memory is shared between TurboACLs and MiniACLs, they can interfere with each others
capacities. The Mini-ACL is automatically set up with space for 8191 Mini-ACLs at router start. If more
than 8191 Mini-ACLs are created, another block of MiniACLs (4096) is allocated. This process is
repeated as necessary until the router is out of External Column Memory (XCM) in any one bank that
the Mini-ACLs need.
Cisco 10000 Series router (PRE3)
The PRE3 implements only TCAM ACLs. Turbo-ACLs and Mini-ACLs are not supported.
Examples The sample output from the show pxf cpu access-lists security command (see Sample Output) is based
on the configuration of the access control list (ACL) called test_list (see ACL Configuration). The
sample output is divided into several sections with a description of the type of information displayed in
each.

CopyingACL is in the process of being created or
compiled.
OperationalACL is active and filtering packets.
Out of acl private memACL has run out of the private
memory that was allocated exclusively to it.
Out of shared memACL has run out of the memory
that it shares with other ACLs.
Unknown FailureACL has failed because of an
uncategorized reason.
UnneededACL was allocated but is not currently in
use.
Tables An indicator of whether the ACL has been split into more
than one PXF pass. The first three ACLs in the output are
MiniACLs, and have the ACL_index duplicated in the Tables
column.
Entries The count of ACL rules as seen by the Turbo compiler. This
is the sum of the Config, Fragment, and Redundant columns
plus 1.
Config The count of rules for this ACL.
Fragment The count of extra rules added to handle fragment handling,
where Layer 4 information is needed but not available in a
packet fragment.
Redundant The count of rules that are not needed because they are
covered by earlier rules.
Memory The amount of PXF XCM in use for the ACL.
ACL_index The index of the ACL in XCM.

Table 86 show pxf cpu context Field Descriptions
Field Description
FP context statistics
feed_back Packets requiring additional passes through the pipeline. This
counter is incremented once for each additional pass.
new_work New packets input to the PXF pipeline. This counter
represents a snapshot of the amount of incoming traffic being
processed by the processor.
null_context An indication of unused forwarding bandwidth (idle time).
This counter is incremented for every context during which the
PXF pipeline is not processing traffic. This counter represents
the processors potential to handle additional traffic. As the
processor becomes more busy, the value for null decreases until
it becomes zero, at which point the processor has reached its
maximum usage.
FP average context/sec
feed_back Displays the rate, in terms of the number of contexts per
second (cps) for the feed_back counter for the last 1-minute,
5-minute, and 60-minute time periods.
new_work Displays the rate, in terms of the number of contexts per second
(cps) for the new_work counter for the last 1-minute, 5-minute,
and 60-minute time periods.
null_context Displays the rate, in terms of the number of contexts per second
(cps) for the null_counter for the last 1-minute, 5-minute, and
60-minute time periods.
FP context utilization
Actual Displays the actual percentage of processor usage per second,
compared to the theoretical maximum, for the last 1-minute,
5-minute, and 60-minute time periods.
Theoretical Displays the percentage of processor usage compared to the
ideal theoretical capacities for the last 1-minute, 5-minute, and
60-minute time periods. The theoretical maximum for the PXF
processors is 3,125,000 contexts per second (cps).
Maximum Displays the actual maximum percentage of processor usage
that has occurred for the last 1-minute, 5-minute, and 60-minute
time periods.

show pxf cpu queue
Cisco 10000 Series Router
The Cisco 10000 series router high-speed interfaces work efficiently to spread traffic flows equally over
the queues. However, using single traffic streams in a laboratory environment might result in
less-than-expected performance. To ensure accurate test results, test the throughput of the Gigabit
Ethernet, OC-48 POS, or ATM uplink with multiple source or destination addresses. To determine if
traffic is being properly distributed, use the show pxf cpu queue command.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB and later releases, the router no longer allows you to specify a virtual
access interface (VAI) as viX.Y in the show pxf cpu queue command. Instead, you must spell out the
VAI as virtual-access.
For example, the router accepts the following command:
Router# show pxf cpu queue virtual-access2.1
In releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB, the router accepts the abbreviated form of the VAI.
For example, the router accepts the following command:
Router# show pxf cpu queue vi2.1
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB and later releases, the output from the show pxf cpu queue interface
summary command displays only the physical interface and the number of logical links. The output
does not display the number of priority queues, class queues, and so on. This modification applies to the
PRE3 and PRE4.

Usage Guidelines The VCCI is an index that uniquely identifies each interface or subinterface in the PXF and it maps that
interface to the appropriate set of services and features. This command is useful to verify the number of
VCCIs that are used and available.
The Cisco 10000 series router has 65,536 VCCIs. A VCCI is assigned to each individual routed interface.
A VCCI is not assigned to virtual template interfaces and loopbacks.
Examples The following example shows how to display the number of used and available VCCIs. The fields shown in
the display are self-explanatory.

Field Description
Shadow 8-8-4-4-8 PXF Mtrie MTRIE lookup table index structures.
51 leaves All created leaves for all MTRIEs.
2448 leaf bytes Leaf byte counter. When a new leaf is created, the leaf byte
counter is incremented by the size of the leaf structure.
92 nodes All created nodes for all MTRIEs.
56352 node bytes Node byte counter. When a new node is created, the node
byte counter is incremented.
10 invalidations Invalidations counter. When a route (represented by a leaf) is
deleted from an MTRIE, the invalidations counter is
incremented. This counter includes all MTRIEs.
61 prefix updates IP prefix counter. When an IP prefix (represented by a leaf)
is added to the MTRIE, the IP prefix counter is incremented.
This counter includes all MTRIEs.
refcounts Counters associated with references between leaves.
3666 leaf MTRIEs have a leaf lock and a leaf free function. The leaf
lock function increments the leaf refcount. The leaf free
function decrements the leaf refcount. The leaf lock and leaf
free functions prevent a leaf from being freed (deleted) while
the leaf is still being referenced. This counter includes all
MTRIEs.
3733 node Node counter. When a child node is added to another node,
the node to which the child node is added becomes a parent
node. The node counter is decremented when a child node is
deleted. This counter includes all MTRIEs.
Prefix/Length The IP address and subnet mask of a leaf.
Refcount The number of leaves that reference a specified leaf. The
refcount counter is incremented when the leaf lock function
is called and decremented when the leaf free function is
called.
Parent When you add a less specific route to a more specific route,
the more specific route has a back pointer that points to the
less specific route.
Address The address of the memory for the specified leaf.
Shadow The shadow address in Route Processor memory for the
specified leaf.

snmp-server host
Note If a community string is not defined using the snmp-server community command prior to using this
command, the default form of the snmp-server community command will automatically be inserted
into the configuration. The password (community string) used for this automatic configuration of the
snmp-server community will be the same as that specified in the snmp-server host command. This
automatic command insertion and use of passwords is the default behavior for Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(3) and later releases.
SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. Traps are unreliable because the receiver
does not send acknowledgments when it receives traps. The sender cannot determine if the traps were
received. However, an SNMP entity that receives an inform request acknowledges the message with an
SNMP response protocol data unit (PDU). If the sender never receives the response, the inform request
can be sent again. Thus, informs are more likely than traps to reach their intended destination.
Compared to traps, informs consume more resources in the agent and in the network. Unlike a trap,
which is discarded as soon as it is sent, an inform request must be held in memory until a response is
received or the request times out. Also, traps are sent only once; an inform may be tried several times.
The retries increase traffic and contribute to a higher overhead on the network.
If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications are sent. To configure the router to
send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server host command. If you enter the
command with no optional keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host.
To enable multiple hosts, you must issue a separate snmp-server host command for each host. You can
specify multiple notification types in the command for each host.
When multiple snmp-server host commands are given for the same host and kind of notification (trap
or inform), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command. Only the last snmp-server
host command will be in effect. For example, if you enter an snmp-server host inform command for a
host and then enter another snmp-server host inform command for the same host, the second command
will replace the first.
The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server enable command. Use
the snmp-server enable command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally. For a host to
receive most notifications, at least one snmp-server enable command and the snmp-server host
command for that host must be enabled.
Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable command. Some notification
types are always enabled, and others are enabled by a different command. For example, the linkUpDown
notifications are controlled by the snmp trap link-status command. These notification types do not
require an snmp-server enable command.
The availability of a notification-type options depends on the router type and the Cisco IOS software
features supported on the router. For example, the envmon notification type is available only if the
environmental monitor is part of the system. To see what notification types are available on your system,
use the command help ? at the end of the snmp-server host command.
The vrf keyword allows you to specify the notifications being sent to a specified IP address over a
specific virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) VPN. The VRF defines a VPN membership of a user so
that data is stored using the VPN.
In the case of the NMS sending the query having a correct SNMP community but that does not have a
read or a write view, the SNMP agent returns the following error values:
For a get or a getnext query, returns GEN_ERROR for SNMPv1 and AUTHORIZATION_ERROR
for SNMPv2C.
For a set query, returns NO_ACCESS_ERROR.

SNMP-Related Notification-Type Keywords
The notification-type keywords used in the snmp-server host command do not always match the
keywords used in the corresponding snmp-server enable traps command. For example, the notification
keyword applicable to Multiprotocol Label Switching Protocol (MPLS) traffic engineering tunnels is
specified as mpls-traffic-eng (containing two hyphens and no embedded spaces). The corresponding
parameter in the snmp-server enable traps command is specified as mpls traffic-eng (containing an
embedded space and a hyphen).
This syntax difference is necessary to ensure that the CLI interprets the notification-type keyword of the
snmp-server host command as a unified, single-word construct, which preserves the capability of the
snmp-server host command to accept multiple notification-type keywords in the command line. The
snmp-server enable traps commands, however, often use two-word constructs to provide hierarchical
configuration options and to maintain consistency with the command syntax of related commands.
Table 97 maps some examples of snmp-server enable traps commands to the keywords used in the
snmp-server host command.

Examples If you want to configure a unique SNMP community string for traps but prevent SNMP polling access
with this string, the configuration should include an access list. The following example shows how to
name a community string comaccess and number an access list 10:
Router(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 10
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.20.2.160 comaccess
Router(config)# access-list 10 deny any

Note The at sign (@) is used as a delimiter between the community string and the context in which it is
used. For example, specific VLAN information in BRIDGE-MIB may be polled using
community@VLAN-ID (for example, public@100), where 100 is the VLAN number.
The following example shows how to send RFC 1157 SNMP traps to a specified host named
myhost.cisco.com. Other traps are enabled, but only SNMP traps are sent because only snmp is specified
in the snmp-server host command. The community string is defined as comaccess.
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Router(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp
The following example shows how to send the SNMP and Cisco environmental monitor
enterprise-specific traps to address 192.30.2.160 using the community string public:
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps snmp
Router(config)# snmp-server enable traps envmon
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.30.2.160 public snmp envmon

switchover pxf restart
switchover pxf restart
To configure the number of parallel express forwarding (PXF) restarts that are allowed before a
switchover to a redundant Performance Routing Engine (PRE) module, use the switchover pxf restart
command in redundancy configuration (main-cpu) mode. To disable switchovers due to PXF restarts,
use the no form of this command.
switchover pxf restart number-of-restarts time-period
no switchover pxf restart
Syntax Description number-of-restarts The number of PXF restarts that are allowed within the specified time
period. If the PXF processors restart this many times within the given time
period, the router switches over to the redundant PRE module. The valid
range is 1 to 25. The default is 2 PXF restarts within 5 hours.
time-period Time period, in hours, that PXF restart counts are monitored. The valid range
is 0 to 120 hours.
Note A value of 0 specifies that a switchover occurs on the configured
number-of-restarts regardless of the time period.
Command Default If this command is not configured, the default is 2 PXF restarts within 5 hours.
Command Modes Redundancy configuration, main-cpu mode (config-r-mc)
Command History Release Modification
12.2(15)BC2 This command was introduced on the Cisco uBR10012 router.
12.3(7) This command was introduced on the Cisco 10000 series router and
integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7).
12.2SB This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2SB.
Usage Guidelines The startup and running configurations of the standby PRE are synchronized with the active PRE,
ensuring the fastest possible cut-over time if the active PRE fails. A second switchover is prevented for
2 hours if a PXF restart occurs on the new active PRE.
A PXF restart following a PXF fault may restore service more quickly when the features in use are not
configured for nonstop forwarding with stateful switchover (NSF/SSO), or when SSO mode is not configured
on the router. Conversely, a PRE switchover in response to a PXF restart may restore service more quickly
when NSF/SSO is configured on the router and all configured features support NSF/SSO.
When a switchover occurs because of repeated PXF restarts, the router displays the following system
message:
C10KEVENTMGR-3-PXF_FAIL_SWITCHOVER: Multiple PXF failures, switchover to redundant PRE
initiated.
Cisco IOS IP Switching Command Reference
March 2011 ISW-461
switchover pxf restart
Examples The following example shows how to configure the router so that if five PXF restarts occur within a
one-hour period, the router initiates a switchover to the redundant PRE module.
Router(config)# redundancy
