set mls
disable [ip | ipx]
set mls
enable [ip | ipx]
set mls
include [ip | ipx] {ip_addr1 ip_addr2...}
set mls statistics protocol protocol port
Syntax Description

agingtime

Keyword to specify the aging time (in seconds) for an MLS entry.

ip

(Optional) Keyword to specify IP MLS.

ipx

(Optional) Keyword to specify IPX MLS.

agingtime

(Optional) MLS aging time of shortcuts to an MLS entry.

Keyword to disable IP and IPX shortcut functions on the Catalyst 5000 and 2926G series switches, disable any MLSP message processing, delete any existing shortcut entries, and prevent new shortcut entries from being established.

enable

Keyword to enable IP shortcut functions on the switch, enable MLSP message processing, and allow new shortcut entries to be established.

include

Keyword to include the specified routers to participate in MLS.

ip_addr#

Router IP or IPX address or name of the router if DNS is enabled.

statistics protocol

Keyword to set protocols for statistics collection.

protocol

Number of protocol.

port_num

Number of the port.

Default

The default agingtime is set to 256 seconds.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

When specifying the ip | ipx keyword, if you specify ip or do not enter a keyword, this means that the command is for IP MLS. If you specify ipx, this means the command is for IPX only.

When entering the IPX address syntax, use the following format:

If you are entering any of the set mls commands on a Catalyst 5000 or 2926G series switch without MLS, the following warning message is displayed:

MLS not supported on feature card.

When you set the agingtime, it can be configured as multiples of 8 seconds in the range of 8 to 2024 seconds. The values are picked up in numerical order to achieve efficient aging. Any value for agingtime that is not a multiple of 8 seconds is adjusted to the closest one. For example, 65 is adjusted to 64, while 127 is adjusted to 128.

The set mls disable command disables IP shortcut functions on the Catalyst 5000 and 2926G series switches, does not process any NFCP messages, deletes any existing shortcut entries, and prevents new ones from being established.

The set mls enable command enables the IP shortcut function on this device, processes NFCP messages, and establishes shortcuts for IP data packets.

The Catalyst 5000 and 2926G series switches do not process NFCP messages from routers that are not configured to participate in MLS. You must use the set mls include command to configure a router to participate in MLS. You can specify multiple router entries on the same command line. The included router entries are saved in NVRAM and retained across a power cycle.

You must enable DNS to resolve the router's IP address.

You can configure only 64 ports using the set mls statistics protocol command.

Examples

These examples show how to use the set mls command set to configure MLS:

Console>(enable) set mls agingtime 512

set mls agingtime fast

Use the set mls agingtime fast command to specify the MLS aging time of shortcuts to an MLS entry that has no more than pkt_threshold packets switched within fastagingtime seconds after it is created.

set mls agingtime fast [fastagingtime] [pkt_threshold]
Syntax Description

fastagingtime

(Optional) Valid values are multiples of 8 to any value in the range of 0 to 128 seconds. 0 disables fast aging. If a value is not specified, the default value is used.

pkt_threshold

(Optional) Valid values are 0, 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, and 127 packets. If a value is not specified, the default value is used.

Default

The default fastagingtime is 0, no fast aging. The default pkt_threshold is 0.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

This command is not available for IPX MLS.

If you enter any of the set mls agingtime fast commands on a Catalyst 5000 or 2926G series switch without MLS, the following warning message displays:

mls not supported on feature card.

When you set the fastagingtime, it can be configured as multiples of 8 to any value in the range of 0 to 128 seconds.

The default pkt_threshold is 0. It can be configured as one of the 0, 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, and 127 (the values picked for efficient aging). If fastagingtime is not configured exactly the same among these values, it is adjusted to the closest one. A typical value for fastagingtime and pkt_threshold is 32 seconds and 0 packet, respectively (it means no packet switched within 32 seconds after the entry created).

Agingtime applies to an MLS entry that has no more than pkt_threshold packets switched within fastagingtime seconds after it is created. A typical example is the MLS entry destined to/sourced from a DNS or TFTP server. This entry may never be used again after it is created. For example, only one request goes to a server and one reply returns from the server, and then the connection is closed.

The agingtime fast option is used to purge entries associated with very short flows, such as DNS and TFTP.

We recommend that you keep the number of MLS entries in the MLS cache below 32K. If the number of MLS entries is more than 32K, some flows (less than 1 percent) are sent to the router.

To keep the number of MLS cache entries below 32K, decrease the aging time. Aging time can be decreased up to 8 seconds. If your switch has a lot of short flows that are used by only a few packets, then you can use fast aging.

If cache entries continue to exceed 32K, decrease the normal agingtime in 64-second increments from the 256-second default.

Example

This example shows how to use the set mls agingtime fast command to set the agingtime:

Console>(enable) set mls agingtime fast 32 0
Multilayer switching fast aging time set to 32 seconds for entries with no more than 0 packet switched.
Console> (enable)

set mls flow

Use the set mls flow command to specify the minimum flow mask used for MLS. This command is needed to collect statistics for the supervisor engine module.

set mls flow destination | destination-source | full
Caution
Use this command carefully. This command purges all existing shortcuts and affects the number of active shortcuts. This command can increase the cache usage and increase the load on the router.
Caution
Be extremely careful if you enter this command and the Catalyst 5000 or 2926G series switch already has a large number of (greater than 16K) shortcuts.
Caution
Do not place this command in scripts that are frequently executed---this might purge all the MLS cache entries.
Syntax Description

destination

Keyword to set the flow mask to destination flow.

destination-source

Keyword to set the flow mask to source flow.

full

Keyword to set the flow mask to an extended access list.

Default

If there are no access lists on any MLS-RP, the flow mask is set to destination flow.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

This command is needed to collect statistics for the supervisor engine module. If the supervisor engine module changes the flow mask in the background frequently, all the shortcuts are purged every time.

Aging time may have to be decreased to reduce the increase in number of flows due to this command. This command is intended to be used for gathering very detailed statistics at the protocol port level; for example, when Netflow Data is exported to an RMON-II probe.

The flow mask is either destination-source or full flow even if no access lists are on MLS-RP.

Examples

These examples show how to specify that only expired flows to subnet 171.69.194.0 are exported:

Console> (enable) set mls flow destination
Configured flow mask is set to destination flow.
Console> (enable) 
 
Console> (enable) set mls flow destination-source
Configured flow mask is set to destination-source flow.
Console> (enable) 
 
Console> (enable) set mls flow full
Configured flow mask is set to full flow.
Console> (enable)

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000, 2948G, and 2926G series switches.

If you are entering any of the set mls multicast commands on a Catalyst 5000 series switch without MLS, the following warning message is displayed:

This feature is not supported on this device
 

If you are entering any of the set mls multicast services on a Catalyst 5000 series switch and none of the multicast protocols (such as IGMP Snooping, CGMP, and GMRP) are enabled, the following warning message is displayed:

Enable IGMP Snooping/CGMP/GMRP to make this feature operational.
 

The Catalyst 5000 series switches do not process MSCP messages from routers that are not configured to participate in IP multicast MLS. You must use the set mls include command to configure a router to participate in IP multicast MLS. You can specify only one router entry at a time. The included router entries are saved in NVRAM and retained across a power cycle.

You can configure a maximum of two participating routers, and they must be internal or directly attached. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide for your switch for router configuration information.

When entering the ip_addr, either the router's IP address or the router's DNS name can be specified. If the DNS name is used, you must ensure that it is mapping to the right IP address on the router. You must enable DNS to resolve the router's IP address.

Examples

set mls nde {collector_ip | collector_name} {udp_port_num}
set mls nde flow [destination ip_addr_spec] [source ip_addr_spec] [protocol protocol]     [src-port port_number] [dst-port port_number]
Syntax Description

disable

Keyword to disable NDE.

enable

Keyword to enable NDE.

collector_ip

IP address of the collector if DNS is enabled.

collector_name

Name of the collector if DNS is enabled.

udp_port_num

Number of the UDP port to receive the exported statistics.

flow

Keyword to add filtering to NDE.

destination

(Optional) Keyword to specify the destination IP address.

ip_addr_spec

(Optional) Full IP address or a subnet address in these formats: ip_subnet_addr, ip_addr/subnet_mask, or ip_addr/#subnet_mask_bits.

source

(Optional) Keyword to specify the source IP address.

protocol

(Optional) Keyword to specify the protocol type.

protocol

(Optional) Protocol type; valid values can be 0, tcp, udp, icmp, or a decimal number for other protocol families. 0 indicates "do not care." If the protocol is not tcp or udp, we recommend that you set the dst-port port_number and src-port port_number values to 0; otherwise, no flows are displayed.

src-port

(Optional) Keyword to specify the number of the source port. Used with dst-port to specify the port pair if the protocol is tcp or udp. 0 indicates "do not care." If the protocol is not tcp or udp, we recommend that you set the src-port value to 0; otherwise, no flows are displayed.

port_number

Number of the TCP/UDP port (decimal).

dst-port

(Optional) Keyword to specify the number of the destination port. Used with src-port to specify the port pair if the protocol is tcp or udp. 0 indicates "do not care." If the protocol is not tcp or udp, we recommend that you set the dst-port value to 0; otherwise, no flows are displayed.

Default

All expired flows are exported until the filter is specified explicitly.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

If you enter any of the set mls nde commands on a Catalyst 5000 or 2926G series switch without MLS, the following warning message displays:

mls not supported on feature card.

Before you use the set mls nde command for the first time, you must configure the host to collect the MLS statistics. The host name and UDP port number are saved in NVRAM, and you do not need to specify them. If you specify a host name and UDP port, values in NVRAM overwrite the old values. Collector's values in NVRAM do not clear when NDE is disabled; this command configures the collector, but does not enable NDE automatically.

The set mls nde enable command enables NDE, exporting statistics to the preconfigured collector.

If you attempt to enable NDE without first specifying a collector, you see this display:

Console>(enable) set mls nde enable
Please set host name and UDP port number with `set mls nde <collector_name | collector_ip> <udp_port_number>'.
Console>(enable)
 

The set mls nde flow command adds filtering to the NDE. Expired flows matching the specified criteria are exported. These values are stored in NVRAM. They are not cleared when NDE is disabled. If any option is not specified in this command, it is treated as a wildcard. The NDE filter in NVRAM does not clear when NDE is disabled.

Use the following syntax to specify an IP subnet address:

If the protocol value is not set to tcp or udp, we recommend you set the dst_port and src_port values to 0; otherwise, no flows will be displayed.

When you use the set mls nde {collector_ip | collector_name} {udp_port_num} command, the host name and UDP port number are saved in NVRAM and need not be specified again. If a host name and UDP port are specified, values in NVRAM are overwritten with the new values. Collector's values in NVRAM are not cleared when NDE is disabled.

Examples

These examples show how to use the set mls nde command set to configure NDE:
