CPU Traffic • For IP, packets are sent to the RP in the following situations Packets matching the router’s own IP address No route found on the line card and “ICMP unreachable” is enabled Packets with TTL = 0 after TTL decrement Packets with options Packets in/out on the same i/f and ICMP redirect is on ARP packets Certain multicast/broadcast packets (e.g. OSFP route updates) 1106 1034_05F9_c1

33

CPU Traffic • For IPX, packets are sent to the RP in the following situations Packets matching the router’s own IPX address Packets with TTL > 16 after TTL increment GNS packets Certain broadcast packets (e.g. RIP/EIGRP/SAP route updates) 1106 1034_05F9_c1

CPU Traffic

• For ATM, cells are sent to the RP in the following situations Cells matching the router’s own ATM address Signaling and control traffic ( IISP, PNNI ) OAM cells 1106 1034_05F9_c1

Network Sizing Guidelines 8510 EIGRP— <= 16 neighbours (2K routes) OSPF— <=16 neighbours (2K routes) 8540 EIGRP— <= 48 neighbours (2K routes) OSPF— <= 48 neighbours (2K routes)

Network design considerations: • Continue to use IPX SAP / route filtering • Use passive interfaces whenever possible 1106 1034_05F9_c1

18

Access-lists • Control plane ACLs Any packet sent to CPU can be filtered today i.e. deny / permit IP routes, IPX SAP filtering

• Data plane ACLs Packets that traverse the shared memory fabric without CPU intervention

• ACL daughter card—provides data plane ACLs Standard / extended IP access lists in hardware Standard IPX access lists—no source node L3 data switching continues at wirespeed Required for each interface module card implementing data plane ACLs Consider changing many input ACLs to 1 or 2 output ACL FE/GE channel, BVIs not supported phase 1 1106 1034_05F9_c1

• Hardware IDB • Software IDB • 300 software IDBs per chassis 1106 1034_05F9_c1

39

© 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc.

IDB Allocation • Each physical interface consumes an IDB • Sub-interfaces One software IDB per sub-interface

• Example: Gigabit 802.1Q interface with 10 sub-interfaces = 11 IDBs • 10/100 ISL interface with 20 sub-interfaces also = 21 IDBs 1106 1034_05F9_c1

Some Helpful Commands

• ip classless—packets destined for unknown subnets from directly connected networks will follow default route • default route-populated on all line cards • no ip domain-lookup—disables DNS lookup on router, so config typos will not be treated as host names and sent for DNS lookup 1106 1034_05F9_c1

57

© 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Some Commands Not to Use

• CEF tuning parameters (consult TAC) • Access-list commands without daughter card • NetFlow accounting

29

Summary • Numerous options for line cards and deployment options depending upon network design • Catalyst 8510 and 8540 CPU capabilities should be considered when sizing network designs • Number of routes in the network determine the platform and line card(s) of choice • CPU utilization does not effect routing capacity of the line cards • Good network design practices still apply! 1106 1034_05F9_c1
