Token Ring VLAN Support on the Route Switch Module

Feature Summary

The Token Ring VLAN support on the RSM adds the capability to do multi-protocol routing and bridging for Token Ring VLANs on the RSM. The RSM can be used standalone to do interVLAN routing, or it can be paired with a Catalyst VIP2 to provide external network connections with the same port adapters used on Cisco 7500 series routers. The RSM/VIP2 combination provides routing between VLANs and Catalyst VIP2 port adapters. A complete description of the RSM can be found in the Catalyst 5000 Series Route Switch Module Installation and Configuration Note and the Route Switch Module Catalyst VIP2-15 and VIP2-40 Installation and Configuration Note.

The Token Ring VLAN support on the RSM adds the following functionality to the Catalyst 5000 switch:

•IP routing for source-routed and non-source-routed frames between Token Ring (TrBRF) and/or Ethernet VLANs and VIP2 interfaces

•IPX routing for source-routed and non-source-routed frames between Token Ring (TrBRF) and/or Ethernet VLANs and VIP2 interfaces

•Source-route bridging (SRB) between Token Ring (TrBRF) VLANs and VIP2 interfaces

•Source-route translational bridging (SR/TLB) between Token Ring (TrBRF) VLANs and Ethernet VLANs and VIP2 interfaces

•Source-route transparent bridging (SRT) between Token Ring (TrBRF) VLANs and SRT-capable VLANs and VIP2 interfaces

Both APPN and DLSw+ are supported for Token Ring VLANS on the RSM. However, RSRB is not supported on the RSM.

For information on how Token Ring VLANs are implemented on switches, refer to the Catalyst Token Ring Switching Implementation Guide, the Catalyst 5000 Series Token Ring Configuration Notes, the Catalyst 3900 Token Ring Switching User Guide, and the Catalyst 3920 Token Ring Switching User Guide.

Token Ring VLANs

A VLAN is essentially a broadcast domain. In transparent bridging, there is only one type of broadcast frame and, therefore, only one level of broadcast domain and one level of VLAN. In source routing, however, there are 2 types of broadcast frames:

•Those that are confined to a single ring

•Those that traverse the bridged domain

Therefore, there are two levels of VLANs in a Token Ring switched network.

The first level is the Token Ring Concentrator Relay Function (TrCRF). At this level, the VLAN is a logical ring and, as such, is assigned a ring number. On a Token Ring switch, the logical ring (TrCRF) contains one or more physical ports. Source Route Switching (SRS) is used to forward frames within a TrCRF based on MAC address or Route Descriptor. On an RSM, a logical ring (TrCRF) can be defined that does not contain any physical ports, but rather is used only in processing source-routed traffic to terminate the RIF.

The second level of VLAN is the Token Ring Bridge Relay Function (TrBRF). This is the parent VLAN to which TrCRF VLANs are assigned. At this level, the VLAN is a logical bridge and, as such, is assigned a bridge number. The TrBRF is responsible for forwarding frames between groups of ports with the same ring number (TrCRFs) via either SRB or SRT.

depicts the relationship between TrCRF and TrBRF VLANS.

Token Ring VLAN Support on the RSM

This section describes the basic operation of the RSM as it pertains to Token Ring VLANS. For a complete functional description of the RSM, refer to the Catalyst 5000 Series RSM Installation and Configuration Note.

The RSM is a router module running Cisco IOS router software that directly interfaces (plugs into) the Catalyst switch backplane. From the Token Ring VLAN perspective, the interface to the RSM is at the Token Ring bridged network (TrBRF) level. With the RSM, it is possible to route or bridge between separate Token Ring and Ethernet domains.

When routing or bridging between TrBRF VLANs that are defined as source-route bridging domains, it is necessary to create a logical ring on the RSM for proper RIF processing. This logical ring is defined as a TrCRF VLAN that does not contain any external Token Ring switch ports. illustrates the logical view of IP routing between two source-route bridged VLANs on the RSM. In this view, the RSM appears to have an interface to both ring 100 and ring 110.

Prerequisites

Before you configure bridging or routing for Token Ring VLAN interfaces in the RSM, configure the VLANs on the Supervisor engine module.

To configure a VLAN on the Supervisor engine module, use the following command in privileged mode:

Command

Purpose

set vlan vlan_num [name name] [state {active | suspend}] [mtu mtu] ring ring_number parent vlan_num [mode {srt | srb}] [backupcrf {off | on}] [aremaxhop hopcount] [stemaxhop hopcount]

Configure a TrCRF or TrBRF on the Supervisor engine module.

Configuration Tasks

To configure and monitor Token Ring VLAN support on the RSM, perform one or more of the following tasks:

•Configure IP Routing

•Configure IPX Routing

•Configure Source-Route Bridging

•Configure Source-Route Transparent Bridging

•Configure Source-Route Translational Bridging

•Monitor Statistics

Note   For information on configuring APPN or DLSW+, refer to the chapters in the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide and Bridging and IBM Command Reference.

Configure IP Routing

The IP routing for Token Ring VLANs feature extends IP routing capabilities to include support for routing IP frame types in Token Ring VLAN configurations. IP can be routed between:

•TrBRF VLANs

•TrBRFs and the VIP2

•TrBRFs and Ethernet VLANs

To configure IP routing on an RSM, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Step

Command

Purpose

1

ip routing

Enable IP routing on the RSM.

2

interface vlan vlanid type [trbrf | ethernet]

Configure a Token Ring or Ethernet interface on the RSM.

3

ip address ip-address mask

Set a primary IP address for an interface.

You can configure an RSM to route source-routed traffic by creating a "pseudo-ring" to terminate the RIF path on a ring and by enabling the collection and use of RIF information.

To route source-routed traffic, use the following additional commands in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

1

multiring trcrf-vlan vlanid ring ring-number

Create a pseudo-ring to terminate the RIF and assign it to a VLAN.

2

multiring {protocol-keyword [all-routes | spanning | all | other]}

Enable collection and use of RIF information with routed protocols.

Configure IPX Routing

The IPX Routing support for Token Ring VLANs extends Novell NetWare routing capabilities to include support for routing IPX on Token Ring VLAN interfaces, as well as Ethernet VLAN interfaces. IPX can be routed between:

•TrBRF VLANs

•TrBRFs and the VIP2

•TrBRFs and Ethernet VLANs

Users with Novell NetWare environments can configure either SAP or SNAP encapsulations to be routed across VLAN boundaries.

To configure Cisco IOS software to route IPX on an RSM with connected Token Ring VLANs, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

Step

Command

Purpose

1

ipx routing [node]

Enable IPX routing globally.

2

interface vlan vlanid type [trbrf | ethernet]

Configure a Token Ring or Ethernet interface on the RSM.

3

ipx encapsulation encapsulation type

Specify the IPX encapsulation.

4

ipx network network number

Specify the IPX network.

Note   The default IPX encapsulation format for Token Ring in Cisco IOS is SAP. Therefore, you only need to explicitly configure the IPX encapsulation type if your Token Ring network requires SNAP encapsulation instead of SAP.

When routing source-routed traffic for specific VLANs, use the following additional commands in interface configuration mode:

Step

Command

Purpose

1

multiring trcrf-vlan vlanid ring ring-number

Create a pseudo-ring to terminate the RIF and assign it to a VLAN.

2

Step

Command

Purpose

1

interface vlan vlanid type [trbrf | ethernet]

Configure a Token Ring or Ethernet interface on the RSM.

2

bridge-group bridge-group number

Specify the bridge group to which the interface belongs.

Configure a Token Ring or Ethernet interface on the RSM.

4

source-bridge trcrf-vlan vlanid ring-group ring-number

Assign a VLAN ID to the RSM's virtual ring.

Note   For a complete description of SR/TLB, including configuring translation compatibility with IBM 8209 bridges and configuring Token Ring LLC2 to Ethernet Type II (0x80d5) and Token Ring LLC2 to Ethernet 802.3 LLC2 (standard) translations, please refer to the "Configuring Source-Route Bridging" and "Source-Route Bridging Commands" chapters in the Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide and Bridging and IBM Command Reference.

Configure Automatic Spanning Tree

The automatic spanning-tree function supports automatic resolution of spanning trees in SRB networks, which provides a single path for spanning explorer frames to traverse from a given node in the network to another. Spanning explorer frames have a single-route broadcast indicator set in the routing information field. Port identifiers consist of ring numbers and bridge numbers associated with the ports. The spanning-tree algorithm for SRB does not support Topology Change Notification Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU).

Although the automatic spanning-tree function can be configured with Source-Route Translational Bridging (SR/TLB), the SRB domain and transparent bridging domain have separate spanning trees. Each Token Ring interface can belong to only one spanning tree. Only one bridge group can run the automatic spanning-tree function at a time.

To create a bridge group that runs an automatic spanning-tree function compatible with the IBM SRB spanning-tree implementation, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

bridge bridge-group protocol ibm

Create a bridge group that runs the automatic spanning-tree function.

To enable the automatic spanning-tree function for a specified group of bridged interfaces in SRB or SR/TLB, use the following command in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

source-bridge spanning bridge-group

Enable the automatic spanning-tree function on a group of bridged interfaces.

Monitor Statistics

You can collect, clear, and display statistical information about the network.

The Duplicate Ring Protocol (DRiP) runs on Cisco routers and switches that support switched VLAN networking and is used to identify active Token Ring VLANs (TrCRFs).

DRiP maintains the status of TrCRFs and uses this information to determine whether there are multiple TrCRFs active in a TrBRF.

DRiP information is used for the following:

•All-routes explorer filtering

DRiP information is used in conjunction with the local configuration to determine which of the TrCRFs configured within a TrBRF have active ports. This information is used on the base switch to correctly filter all-routes explorers and on the RSM to discard AREs that have already been on an attached ring.

•Detecting the configuration of duplicate TrCRFs across routers and switches

DRiP information is used in conjunction with the local configuration information to determine which TrCRFs are already active on the switches. If a TrCRF is enabled on more than one switch or router, the ports associated with the TrCRF are disabled on all switches. The RSM will not disable the internal ring used for processing source-routed traffic. Instead, the RSM generates the following error message to indicate that two identical TrCRFs exist:
DRIP conflict with CRF <vlan-id>
To show or clear DRiP or VLAN statistics, use one or all the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

clear drip counters

Clear DRiP counters.

show drip

Display DRiP information.

Note When DRiP counters are cleared, the counter is reset to 0. Incrementing of DRiP counters indicates that the router is receiving packets across the TrBRF.

interface vlan

Use the interface vlan interface configuration command to configure a Token Ring or Ethernet interface on the RSM.

interface vlan vlanid type [trbrf | ethernet]
Syntax Description

vlan-id

Unique VLAN ID number used to create a VLAN.

trbrf | ethernet

RSM Interface type.

Default

The RSM interfaces are not configured.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(6)T.

Valid Token Ring VLAN ID numbers are 2 through 1000.

Routing or bridging to a Token Ring VLAN (TrBRF) on the RSM is done by creating a logical interface to a TrBRF VLAN on the RSM with the interface vlan command. The TrBRF VLAN must be defined on the Supervisor module prior to creating the TrBRF interface on the RSM.

Examples

The interface vlan command is used to configure an RSM Token Ring interface with VLAN 998:
interface vlan998 type trbrf
 ip address 5.5.5.1 255.255.255.0
Related Commands

multiring trcrf-vlan

Use the multiring trcrf-vlan interface configuration command to create a pseudo ring on the RSM and to terminate the RIF when routing IP or IPX source-routed traffic on Token Ring VLAN (TrBRF) interfaces. Use the no form of this command to disable the termination of RIFs on the RSM interface.

multiring trcrf-vlan vlanid ring-group ring-number
no multiring trcrf-vlan vlanid ring-group ring-number
Syntax Description

vlanid

VLAN ID number. Valid VLAN ID numbers are 2 through 1000.

ring ring-number

Keyword that specifies the pseudo ring number used to terminate the RIF.

Default

Termination of RIFs is disabled on the RSM interfaces.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(4)T.

Use the multiring command to collect and use RIFs for routed protocols. On an RSM, the multiring command appends RIFs for routed protocols on Token Ring VLAN interfaces. When this command is enabled for a protocol, the RSM will source packets that include information used by source-route bridges. The Token Ring VLAN interfaces on the RSM can connect to an SRB Token Ring network for the protocols specified in the command.

Each Token Ring VLAN interface that is configured with the multiring command on the RSM must also be accompanied by the multiring trcrf-vlan command.

Use the multiring trcrf-vlan command to:

•Create a pseudo-ring on which RIFs are terminated for routed protocols.

•Assign the pseudo-ring to a TrCRF VLAN.

When configuring SRB and IP or IPX routing SR frames on an RSM's TrBRF interface, define both a virtual ring and a pseudo-ring for the interface using the source-bridge and multiring trcrf-vlan commands. In this case, the VLAN ID used for the TrCRF that corresponds to the virtual ring can be the same as the one used for the pseudo ring number. If the VLAN IDs are different, the virtual ring and pseudo-ring numbers must be different.

Examples

In the following example, the multiring trcrf-vlan command is used to configure a pseudo-ring with ring number 100 on the RSM:
interface Ethernet 2/2
 ip address 4.4.4.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface vlan998 type trbrf
 ip address 5.5.5.1 255.255.255.0
 multiring trcrf-vlan 200 ring-group 100
 multiring all

source-bridge trcrf-vlan

Use the source-bridge trcrf-vlan interface configuration command to attach a VLAN to the RSM's virtual ring when source-route bridging. Use the no form of the command to disable the attachment of a VLAN to the RSM's virtual ring.

source-bridge trcrf-vlan vlanid ring-group ringnum
Syntax Description

vlanid

VLAN ID number.

ring-group ringnum

Pseudo ring number that corresponds to the virtual ring number for the interface.

Command Mode

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3(4)T.

Use the source-bridge ring-group command to create a virtual ring for SRB between TrBRF VLANs. Use the source-bridge trcrf-vlan command to assign a TrCRF VLAN ID to the virtual ring.

In SRB and SR/TLB, define a unique TrCRF VLAN ID that corresponds to the virtual ring on the RSM for each TrBRF. Although the VLAN ID for the TrCRF is unique for each TrBRF, the ring number will be the same.

If IP or IPX routing SR frames is required on a TrBRF interface configured for SRB, you must also define a pseudo-ring for this interface with the multiring trcrf-vlan command. In this case, the VLAN ID used for the TrCRF that corresponds to the virtual ring can be the same as the one used for the pseudo-ring. If the VLAN IDs are different, the virtual ring and pseudo-ring numbers must be different.

Examples

An example with both SRB and IP routing for SR frames is shown below:
source-bridge ring-group 100
interface Token Ring3/1
 source-bridge 10 1 100
 source-bridge spanning
!
interface vlan999 type trbrf 
 source-bridge trcrf-vlan 400 ring-group 100
 source-bridge spanning
 multiring all
 multiring trcrf-vlan 400 ring-group 100
Note that the ring number must be the same for the source-bridge ring-group, source-bridge, and source-bridge trcrf-vlan commands. In this example, the ring number of the pseudo ring also matches the virtual ring number.
