Command Syntax Conventions


The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions used in the IOS
Command Reference. The Command Reference describes these conventions as follows:
• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown. In actual con-
figuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface indicates commands
that are manually input by the user (such as a show command).
• Italics indicate arguments for which you supply actual values.
• Vertical bars (|) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.
• Square brackets [ ] indicate optional elements.
• Braces { } indicate a required choice.
• Braces within brackets [{ }] indicate a required choice within an optional element.

Foreword
In 1976, when I saw my first Arpanet IMP at Digital Equipment Corporation, networks as we know
them today were in their infancy. SNA, XNS, and DECnet were under early development, and packet
switching versus circuit switching was the hot topic of the day. Those of us involved in the design of the
switching and routing algorithms were dealing with routers (although we didn’t call them that) that had
64 kilobytes of memory, data link of 56 kilobits were considered blindingly fast, and networks with 256
nodes were big enough that if you were the salesman who sold those 256 computers, you would retire
fabulously wealthy.
Thirty years is a long time, and today the individual networks that make up the Internet contain thou-
sands or tens of thousands of nodes, while the Internet as a whole contains hundreds of millions of com-
puters. Most striking in the evolution over this human generation is that the foundations of the Internet
laid down in the TCP/IP protocol suite have survived mostly intact through four or more generations of
computing architectures, three complete generations of operating system technology, and an increase of
five orders of magnitude in transmission speeds.
Yet, we still treat routing in packet-switched networks as a black art. Why is that?
First, designing robust, scalable distributed algorithms is hard. Despite our best intentions to make them
simple, complexity creeps in to deal with the inevitable special cases, optimizations, peculiar topolo-
gies, and link technologies one encounters. Because a “fork lift upgrade” of an entire network is rarely
feasible, we have multiple generations of technology present simultaneously, and we must maintain
backward-compatibility with essentially no disruption to deployed services. As policies governing the
routing of packets become more sophisticated, our ability to devise automated discovery and configura-
tion procedures gets overwhelmed, and we fall back on manual configuration and performance tuning
techniques. Finally, as the environment in which these networks are operated has evolved from a coop-
erative one where trust was implicit to one in which the network is subject to both inside and outside
attack, designing and deploying routing systems that can be made secure has become an urgent priority.
Routing TCP/IP tackles this black art comprehensively. The present Volume 1 covers all the needed fun-
damentals of TCP/IP networks and gives you all the tools needed to understand how routing is accom-
plished within a single administrative region of the Internet. Straightforward ideas of packet-switched
routing are presented first in the chapters on addressing and static routing. The most popular IGPs—RIP,
EGRP, OSPF, and ISIS—are covered in depth. Advanced topics in route redistribution, route filtering,
and policy routing round out Volume 1.
This second edition also adds essential material on IPv6 as well as bringing all the material up to date
with examples and configurations for the latest releases of Cisco IOS.
For anyone wanting a comprehensive understanding of how routing in TCP/IP networks really works,
from the design principles of routing algorithms, to the evolution of addressing schemes, to the practical
aspects of designing and configuring the routing of large autonomous systems, this is the book for you.

Introduction
Routing is an essential element of all but the smallest data communications networks. At one level, rout-
ing and the configuration of routers are quite simple. But as networks grow in size and complexity, rout-
ing issues can become at once both large and subtle. Perversely, perhaps, we are grateful for the difficult
problems large-scale routing can present—as network systems consultants, these problems are our
bread and butter. Without them, the phrase “You want fries with that?” could be an unfortunate part of
our daily vocabulary.
Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts are widely recognized for their ability to design, troubleshoot, and
manage large networks. This recognition comes from the fact that you cannot become a CCIE by attend-
ing a few classes and then regurgitating some memorized facts onto a written test. A CCIE has proven
expertise in an intense, famously difficult hands-on lab exam.

Objectives
This book is the first of two volumes that focuses on TCP/IP routing issues. Early in the writing of the
first edition, Kim Lew, former Cisco Systems program manager, said, “Our objective is to make CCIEs,
not to make people who can pass the CCIE lab.” We entirely agree with that statement and have used
it as a guiding principle throughout the writing of this book. Although the book includes many case
studies and exercises to help you prepare for the CCIE lab, my primary objective is to increase your
understanding of IP routing—both on a generic level and as it is implemented on Cisco routers.

Audience
The audience for this book is any network designer, administrator, or engineer who needs a full under-
standing of the interior routing protocols of TCP/IP. Although the practical aspects of the book focus on
the Cisco IOS, the information is applicable to any routing platform.
The book is not only for readers who plan to become CCIEs, but for people who wish to advance their
knowledge of TCP/IP routing. These readers will fall into one of three categories:
• The “beginners” who have some basic networking knowledge and wish to begin a deep study
of networking.
• The intermediate-level networking professionals who have experience with routers, Cisco or
otherwise, and plan to advance that experience to the expert level.
• The highly experienced networking experts. These individuals have extensive hands-on exper-
tise with Cisco routers and are ready to take the CCIE lab; however, they want a structured
review and series of exercises for verification and validation.
CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP, Volume I focuses primarily on intermediate-level
networking professionals while offering to beginners a structured outline of fundamental information
and to experts the required challenges to hone their skills.

Changes from First Edition


There are several factors influencing the changes contained in this second edition. The first factor
is the CCIE itself. When I (Jeff) wrote the first edition of this book, the CCIE—specifically what is now
xxiv

called the Routing and Switching specialty of the CCIE—was the only certification Cisco Systems
offered. Now, there is a series of certifications creating a path to the CCIE at the pinnacle. Moreover,
the typical networking professional is more knowledgeable than in 1997. Given this, we have elimi-
nated the first chapter of the original book, which covered such very basic concepts as the definition
of bridges and routers and network addresses. (When was the last time you even saw a bridge in a
network?)
The second factor influencing the changes in this edition is the changes in the Cisco Systems IOS.
IGRP, which was frequently used when the first edition was written, is now a legacy protocol whose
main significance is as the ancestor of EIGRP. Therefore the IGRP chapter of the first edition has been
eliminated and IGRP is covered for historical perspective early in the EIGRP chapter. The IOS com-
mand suite itself has expanded to accommodate new functions and options; we have made every
effort to include the commands and protocol extensions that did not exist in the late 1990s.
Lastly, a protocol that existed mostly only in proposal form in 1997—IPv6—is now in the early stages
of worldwide deployment. You can expect to need a detailed knowledge of this protocol and the exten-
sions to IP routing protocols that support it in the near future, if not already, so this second edition
delves deeply into routing IPv6.
Other changes in this edition are semantic. For example, in the first edition, I (Jeff) made a point of
differentiating between a “network” as a data link and an “internetwork” as a set of networks connected
by routers. Although that terminology is certainly accurate, it is clumsy, and “internetwork” is seldom used
these days. Instead, “network” usually refers to everything from a local link to worldwide autonomous
systems operated by the likes of Level 3, NTT, and Sprint. We have attempted to bring the terminology
in this edition up to modern, common usage.

Organization
The 14 chapters of the book are divided into three parts.
Part I, “Routing Basics,” examines the basics of IPv4 and IPv6, and the basics of routing. Although
more advanced readers may wish to skip the first chapter, we recommend that they at least skim Chapter 3,
“Static Routing,” and Chapter 4, “Dynamic Routing Protocols.” And, of course, if you are not yet famil-
iar with IPv6, Chapter 2, “IPv6 Overview,” is a must-read.
Part II, “Interior Routing Protocols,” covers the IP Interior Gateway Protocols. Each protocol-specific
chapter begins with a discussion of the theory, mechanics, and parameters of the protocol. This general
overview is followed by case studies on configuring and troubleshooting the protocol using Cisco
Systems’ IOS in various network topologies.
The Exterior Gateway Protocol, BGP, and topics such as multicast routing, Quality of Service, router secu-
rity and management, and Network Address Translation, are covered in “Routing TCP/IP, Volume II.”
Part III, “Route Control and Interoperability,” examines the tools available for creating and managing
interoperability with multiple IP routing protocols, and also such tools as default routes and route filter-
ing. As such, the chapters of this last part provide an introduction to the tools necessary for building the
complex routing policies introduced in Volume II. These chapters, like the ones in Part II, begin with
concepts and conclude with case studies.

Book Features
Most chapters conclude with a set of review questions, configuration exercises, and troubleshooting
exercises. The review questions focus on the theoretical aspects of the chapter topic, whereas the config-
uration and troubleshooting exercises address Cisco-specific aspects of the chapter topic.
Also at the end of each chapter is a table with a brief description of all important Cisco IOS commands
used in that chapter. The conventions used to present these commands are the same conventions used in
the IOS Command Reference and presented earlier in this introduction.
This chapter covers the following subjects:
• Basic Uses of Route Maps
• Configuring Route Maps
CHAPTER
14

Route Maps
Route maps are similar to access lists; they both have criteria for matching the details of
certain packets and an action of permitting or denying those packets. Unlike access lists,
though, route maps can add to each “match” criterion a “set” criterion that actually changes
the packet in a specified manner, or changes route information in a specified manner. Route
maps also allow you more options for matching a given packet. Altogether, route maps are
a powerful tool for creating customized routing policies in your network.

Basic Uses of Route Maps


Route maps can be used for both redistribution and for policy routing. Although
redistribution has been covered extensively in previous chapters, this chapter introduces the
topic of policy routing. And most commonly, they are an essential tool in large-scale Border
Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementations. The use of route maps to implement BGP
routing policies is outside the scope of this volume, and is covered in “Routing TCP/IP,”
Volume II (CCIE Professional Development) (1-57870-089-2).
Policy routes are nothing more than sophisticated static routes. Whereas static routes
forward a packet to a specified next hop based on the destination address of the packet,
policy routes can forward a packet to a specified next hop based on the source of the packet
or other fields in the packet header. Policy routes can also be linked to extended IP access
lists so that routing might be based on such things as protocol types and port numbers. Like
a static route, a policy route influences the routing only of the router on which it is
configured.
Figure 14-1 shows an example of a typical policy routing application. AbnerNet is
connected to two Internet service providers via router Dogpatch. AbnerNet’s corporate
policy dictates that some users’ Internet traffic should be sent via ISP 1 and other users’
Internet traffic should be sent via ISP 2. If either ISP should become unavailable, the traffic
normally using that provider would be sent to the other provider. A policy route at Dogpatch
can distribute Internet traffic in accordance with local policy. The distribution of traffic
might be based on subnet, specific user, or even user applications.
732 Chapter 14: Route Maps

Figure 14-1 Policy routing allows traffic from AbnerNet to be routed to one of its two Internet service providers
based on parameters such as source address, source/destination address combinations, packet size,
or application-level ports.

Figure 14-2 shows another use for policy routing. One of the systems on the right watches
for invasion forces from the planet Mongo, while the other stores back copies of Dilbert
comic strips. Policy routes can be configured to route the critical traffic from the Mongo
System to Flash_G over the FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) link and to route the
lower-priority Dilbert traffic over the 56K links—or vice versa.

Figure 14-2 Policy routing allows high-priority traffic from the Mongo System to be routed over the FDDI link
while low-priority traffic from the Dilbert System is routed over the 56K links.

Configuring Route Maps


Like access lists (see Appendix B, “Tutorial: Access Lists”), route maps by themselves
affect nothing; they must be “called” by some command. The command will most likely be
either a policy routing command or a redistribution command. Policy routing will send
packets to the route map, whereas redistribution will send routes to the route map. The case
studies in this section demonstrate the use of route maps for both redistribution and policy
routing.
Route maps are identified by a name. For example, the route map in Example 14-1 is named
Hagar.
Example 14-1 A route map named Hagar is defined in this configuration.
route-map Hagar permit 10
match ip address 110
set metric 100

Each route map statement has a “permit” or “deny” action and a sequence number. This
route map shows a permit action and a sequence number of 10. These settings are the
defaults—that is, if no action or sequence number is specified when the route map is
configured, the route map will default to a permit and a sequence number of 10.
The sequence number allows the identification and editing of multiple statements. Consider
the configuration steps in Example 14-2.
Configuring Route Maps 735

Example 14-2 Route map Hagar is modified in this configuration.


route-map Hagar 20
match ip address 111
set metric 50
route-map Hagar 15
match ip address 112
set metric 80

Here, a second and third set of route map statements, each with their own match and set
statements, have been added to route map Hagar. Notice that a sequence number of 20 was
configured first and then a sequence number of 15. In the final configuration, the IOS has
placed statement 15 before 20 even though it was entered later, as shown in Example 14-3.1
Example 14-3 IOS places the commands in sequential order.
route-map Hagar permit 10
match ip address 110
set metric 100
!
route-map Hagar permit 15
match ip address 112
set metric 80
!
route-map Hagar permit 20
match ip address 111
set metric 50

The sequence numbers also allow for the elimination of individual statements. For example,
the statement
Linus(config)#no route-map Hagar 15

deletes statement 15 and leaves the other statements intact, as shown in Example 14-4.
Example 14-4 Route-map Hagar after the match/set statements associated with sequence 15 have been removed.
route-map Hagar permit 10
match ip address 110
set metric 100
!
route-map Hagar permit 20
match ip address 111
set metric 50

Be careful when editing route maps. In this example, if no route-map Hagar had been
typed, without specifying a sequence number, the entire route map would have been
deleted. Likewise, if no sequence numbers had been specified when the additional match
and set statements were added, they would have simply changed statement 10.2

1 Notice also that no action was specified in the configuration steps, so the default permit
appears in the final configuration.
2 Depending upon your IOS version, trying to change a match or set route-map statement

without specifying a sequence number might result in an IOS message “% Please specify the
entry by its sequence,” rather than assuming that sequence number 10 is to be changed.
736 Chapter 14: Route Maps

A packet or route is passed sequentially through route map statements. If a match is made,
any set statements are executed and the permit or deny action is executed. As with access
lists, processing stops when a match is made and the specified action is executed; the route
or packet is not passed to subsequent statements. Consider the route map in Example 14-5.
Example 14-5 Route-map Sluggo.
route-map Sluggo permit 10
match ip route-source 1
set next-hop 192.168.1.5
!
route-map Sluggo permit 20
match ip route-source 2
set next-hop 192.168.1.10
!
route-map Sluggo permit 30
match ip route-source 3
set next-hop 192.168.1.15

If a route does not match statement 10, it will be passed to statement 20. If a match is made
at statement 20, the set command will be executed and the route will be permitted. The
matched route will not be passed on to statement 30.
The behavior of a “deny” action depends on whether the route map is being used for policy
routing or for redistribution. If a route map is being used for redistribution and a route
matches a statement with a deny action, the route will not be redistributed. If the route map
is being used for policy routing and a packet matches a statement with a deny action, the
packet is not policy routed but is passed back to the normal routing process for forwarding.
Again as with access lists, there must be a default action for the route map to take in the
event that a route or packet passes through every statement without a match. An implicit
deny exists at the end of every route map. Routes that pass through a redistribution route
map without a match are not redistributed, and packets that pass through a policy route map
without a match are sent to the normal routing process.
If no match statement is configured under a route map statement, the default action is to
match everything.
Each map statement might have multiple match and set statements, as shown in Example 14-6.
Example 14-6 Route map Garfield contains multiple match and set statements for the map statement with sequence
number 10.
route-map Garfield permit 10
match ip route-source 15
match interface Serial0
set metric-type type-1
set next-hop 10.1.2.3

In a case such as this, every match statement must be matched for the set statements to be
executed.
Configuring Route Maps 737

Case Study: Policy Routing


Policy routing is defined with the command ip policy route-map. The command is
configured on an interface and affects incoming packets only.
Suppose a policy were to be implemented on Linus in Figure 14-3 such that traffic from
subnet 172.16.6.0/24 would be forwarded to Lucy and traffic from subnet 172.16.7.0/24
would be forwarded to Pigpen. Linus’s configuration is displayed in Example 14-7.

Figure 14-3 Policy routes can be configured at Linus to route some packets through Lucy and other packets
through Pigpen.

!
route-map Sally permit 15

set ip next-hop 172.16.4.3
738 Chapter 14: Route Maps

The policy routing command on S0 sends incoming packets to route map Sally. Statement 10
of route map Sally uses access list 1 to identify source addresses from subnet 172.16.6.0/24.
If a match is made, the packet is forwarded to Lucy, whose next-hop interface address is
172.16.4.2. If no match is made, the packet is sent to statement 15. That statement uses
access list 2 to match source addresses from subnet 172.16.7.0/24. If a match is made at
that statement, the packet is forwarded to Pigpen (172.16.4.3). Any packets that do not
match statement 15, such as packets sourced from subnet 172.16.8.0/24, are routed normally.
Example 14-8 shows the results of the policy route.3
Example 14-8 The policy route configured on Linus’s S0 interface routes packets from subnet 172.16.6.0/24 to Lucy
(172.16.4.2) and routes packets from subnet 172.16.7.0/24 to Pigpen (172.16.4.3). Packets from
subnet 172.16.8.0/24, which do not match the policy route, are routed normally (load balancing
between Lucy and Pigpen).

Suppose Lucy’s Ethernet interface fails. Linus would still attempt to forward packets from
172.16.6.0 to Lucy’s IP address. Because a match is made in the route map, even if the
specified next-hop interface were down, no other matches would be attempted nor would the
packet be routed normally. To force Linus to verify the availability of the next-hop address
before attempting to forward the packet, use the command set ip next-hop verify-availability.
Linus will search its CDP neighbors table to verify that the next-hop address is listed. If it is
not, the policy is rejected and the packet is forwarded normally. Example 14-9 shows the
output of the commands debug ip policy and debug arp while Lucy’s Ethernet interface is
down. Packets are matched and policy routed, even while the router is attempting to ARP for
the next-hop address, without receiving an ARP reply. The packets are dropped.
Example 14-10 shows the output of the debug ip policy command with the addition of the
set ip next-hop verify-availability command in the IP policy configuration. The example
shows Linus’s operation with Lucy’s Ethernet interface still down. The packets are matched
by the policy, but the policy is rejected because the next-hop address is no longer in Linus’s
CDP table. Since the policy is rejected, the packets are routed using the normal method.

3 Note that the debug ip packet command references an access list 5. This access list permits
only the subnets connected to router Charlie so that uninteresting traffic is not displayed by
the debug function.

740 Chapter 14: Route Maps

Standard IP access lists are used when policy routing by source address only. To route by
both source and destination, an extended IP access list is used. The configuration in
Example 14-12 causes packets from any subnet to host 172.16.1.1 to be forwarded to Lucy,
whereas packets from host 172.16.7.1 to host 172.16.1.2 are forwarded to Pigpen. All other
packets are routed normally.
Example 14-12 Policy route maps can reference extended IP access-lists to specify a source and destination address
pair to match, as shown in this configuration.
interface Serial0
ip address 172.16.5.1 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map Sally
!
access-list 101 permit ip any host 172.16.1.1
access-list 102 permit ip host 172.16.7.1 host 172.16.1.2
!
route-map Sally permit 10

set ip next-hop 172.16.4.2
!
route-map Sally permit 15
match ip address 102
set ip next-hop 172.16.4.3

Route map Sally is again used, except the match statements now reference access lists 101
and 102. Example 14-13 shows the results.
Example 14-13 Packets from any host to host 172.16.1.1 match statement 10 of route map Sally and are forwarded to
Lucy. Packets from host 172.16.7.1 to host 172.16.1.2 are forwarded to Pigpen. Packets from another
address on subnet 172.16.7.0/24 to host 172.16.1.2 are not matched by Sally and are routed normally.

Next, suppose your policy states that FTP traffic from the servers on subnet 172.16.1.0/24
should be forwarded to Lucy and that Telnet traffic from the same servers should be
forwarded to Pigpen. This plan allows the bulk FTP traffic and the bursty, interactive Telnet
traffic to be segregated on the two serial links from Schroeder. Schroeder will have the
configuration in Example 14-14.
Configuring Route Maps 741

Example 14-14 Schroeder’s policy route configuration forwarding FTP and Telnet traffic.

Access lists 105 and 106 are examining not only the source and destination addresses, but
also the source port. In Example 14-15, the detail option is used with debug ip packet to
allow observation of the packet types being forwarded by Schroeder. An access list 10
limits the displayed packets to those from 172.16.1.1 to 172.16.6.1.
Example 14-15 FTP packets (TCP ports 20 and 21) are being forwarded to Lucy, whereas Telnet packets (TCP port
23) with the same source and destination addresses are forwarded to Pigpen. Echo Reply packets
(ICMP type 0), which do not find a match in the policy route, are routed normally.

The purpose of segregating bulk and interactive traffic, as demonstrated in the last example,
is so that the small packets characteristic of interactive traffic do not become delayed by the
742 Chapter 14: Route Maps

large packets characteristic of bulk traffic. The problem with the approach in this example
is that if many types of traffic must be segregated, the access lists identifying the traffic by
destination port might become prohibitively large.
If the objective is to segregate small packets from large packets, the length of the packet can
be matched, as shown in Example 14-16.
Example 14-16 Schroeder’s policy route configuration forwards traffic based on packet length.
interface Ethernet0
ip address 172.16.1.4 255.255.255.0 ip policy route-map Woodstock !
route-map Woodstock permit 20
match length 1000 1600
set ip next-hop 172.16.2.1
!
route-map Woodstock permit 30
match length 0 400
set ip next-hop 172.16.3.1

Here the match length statement specifies a minimum and a maximum packet size.
Statement 20 of the route map causes all packets between 1000 and 1600 octets in length
to be routed across the serial link to Lucy. Statement 30 causes all packets up to 400 octets
in length to be routed across the serial link to Pigpen. Packets between 400 and 1000 octets
are routed normally.
Example 14-17 shows the results of the new route map. Again there are FTP, Telnet, and
Echo Reply packets from 172.16.1.2 to 172.16.6.1, but now the packets are routed
according to their size instead of their addresses and ports.
Example 14-17 Packets of 1000 octets or larger are routed to Lucy, whereas packets of 400 octets or less are routed
to Pigpen. Any packets between 400 and 1000 octets are routed normally.

The policy routes demonstrated so far affect packets entering the router from a particular
interface. But what about packets generated by the router itself? These can also be policy routed,
with the command ip local policy route-map. Unlike the ip policy route-map command,
which is configured on an interface, this command is configured globally on the router.
To apply the previously demonstrated policy to packets generated by Schroeder, the
configuration is as displayed in Example 14-18.
Example 14-18 Route policy configuration for packets generated by Schroeder.

Of particular interest is statement 10. This statement does not have a set statement, but merely
permits packets that match access list 120. Access list 120, in turn, permits all packets
destined for subnet 172.16.1.0/24 and all OSPF packets. Without the first line of the access
list, some packets originated by Schroeder and destined for subnet 172.16.1.0/24 would be
forwarded to the wrong interface by statement 20 or 30. Figure 14-4 shows why the second
line of the access list is necessary. The length of Schroeder’s OSPF Hellos is 44 octets. If
statement 10 were not included, the OSPF Hellos would all match statement 30 and be
744 Chapter 14: Route Maps

forwarded to Pigpen, breaking the adjacency between Lucy and Schroeder. By matching
statement 10, the OSPF packets are permitted with no changes and are forwarded normally.

Figure 14-4 The length of the OSPF Hello packets is seen in this analyzer capture.

Case Study: Policy Routing and Quality of Service Routing


Although quality of service (QoS) routing is outside the scope of this volume, it must be
noted here that policy routing can be an integral part of QoS. Policy routing in conjunction
with QoS is done by setting the Precedence or the Type of Service (TOS) bits of the TOS
field in the IP headers of packets as they enter a router’s interface. Figure 14-5 shows the
bits of the TOS field. Although the TOS bits are seldom used in modern networks, the
Precedence bits have found new life in QoS applications. The TOS bits are used to influence
the path a router selects for a packet, whereas the Precedence bits are used to prioritize
packets within a router.

100 Flash Override
101 CRITIC/ECP
110 Internetwork Control
111 Network Control 1111 = Maximize Security
Configuring Route Maps 745

The Precedence bits are set by using the set ip Precedence statement within a route map.
The Precedence might be set by specifying the decimal equivalent of the three Precedence
bits or by using keywords. Table 14-5 shows the decimal numbers and the keywords that
can be used.
Table 14-5 Precedence values and keywords used with the set ip precedence command.

001 1 priority
010 2 immediate
011 3 flash
100 4 flash-override
101 5 critical
110 6 internet
111 7 network

The TOS bits are set by using the set ip tos statement. Like the Precedence statement,
the argument of the statement might be a number or a keyword, as shown in Table 14-6.
Unlike Precedence, you might use a combination of TOS values. For example, specifying
a TOS value of 12 (1100b) means minimum delay and maximum throughput. Only a
single keyword can be used, so to set a combination of TOS values, a number must be
specified.

Table 14-6 TOS values and keywords used with the set ip tos command.
Bits Number (0–15) Keyword
0000 0 normal
0001 1 min-monetary-cost
0010 2 max-reliability
0100 4 max-throughput
1000 8 min-delay

Figure 14-6 shows an example of how policy routes can be used for QoS routing.
Here, router Pogo is at the “edge” of the Internet OkefenokeeNet. By configuring policy
routes on Pogo’s serial links, the Precedence or TOS bits of incoming packets can be
changed so that IP traffic is divided into several traffic classes. See Example 14-19 for
instance.
746 Chapter 14: Route Maps

Figure 14-6 Policy routes can be used to set the Precedence or TOS bits of packets entering a network. The routers
within the network can then make QoS decisions based on the setting of these bits.

Example 14-19 Pogo’s configuration sets Precedence and TOS bits.

!
route-map Albert permit 10
match ip address 1 110
set ip precedence critical
!
route-map Albert permit 20
set ip tos 10
set ip precedence priority

Statement 10 says that if packets match both access lists 1 and 110, the Precedence will be set
to critical. Notice that statement 20 has no match statement. This statement will match any
packets that haven’t been matched by statement 10. There are also two set statements under
statement 20. These statements will set the TOS bits to minimum delay and maximum
reliability and will set the Precedence bits to priority. Figure 14-7 shows a capture of a packet
from somewhere inside OkefenokeeNet, which has been modified by the route map at Pogo.
After the Precedence or TOS bits have been set in packets entering the network, the routers
within the Internet can make QoS decisions based in part or wholly on the class of service
these bits define. For example, priority, custom, or weighted fair queuing might be configured
Configuring Route Maps 747

to prioritize traffic according to the Precedence or TOS bits. In some implementations,


Precedence can be used with congestion avoidance mechanisms such as Weighted Random
Early Detection (WRED). Or a crude Class-of-Service routing can be implemented by
configuring access lists that permit or deny packets across certain links based on the setting
of their Precedence or TOS bits.

Figure 14-7 Pogo’s policy route has set the Precedence bits of this packet to priority (001b) and the TOS bits to
minimum delay and maximum reliability (1010b).

Case Study: Route Maps and Redistribution


A route map can be used with redistribution for both IPv4 and IPv6 by adding a call to the
route map in the redistribute command. Figure 14-8 shows a network in which IPv4 IS-IS
and OSPF routes are being mutually redistributed at router Zippy. Of the network and
subnet addresses listed in the illustration, only the ones whose third octet is odd-numbered
are to be redistributed.

Figure 14-8 The OSPF and IS-IS routes are being mutually redistributed. Route maps can be used with the
redistribute command as simple route filters, or they can be used to modify characteristics of the
redistributed routes.

Route maps Griffy and Toad perform the same functions, but with different logic. Griffy
uses negative logic, identifying the routes that should not be redistributed, and Toad uses
positive logic, identifying the routes that should be redistributed.
Statement 10 of Griffy denies any routes that are permitted by access list 1 (the addresses
with an even third octet). Because the addresses with odd-numbered third octets do not find
a match at statement 10, they are passed to statement 20. Statement 20 has no match
statement, so the default is to match everything. Statement 20 has a permit action, so the
odd routes are permitted. The result is shown in Example 14-21.
Example 14-21 The only destinations within the IS-IS domain that are contained in Shelflife’s route table are those

Route map Toad has a single statement that permits routes that have been permitted by
access list 2 (addresses with an odd third octet). The addresses with an even third octet do
not find a match at access list 2. The default route map statement when redistributing is to
deny all routes, so the addresses that are not matched by access list 2 are not redistributed.
Example 14-22 shows the results of route map Toad.

Other configurations will achieve the same ends. For instance, route map Toad will have the
same effect with the access list in Example 14-23.
Example 14-23 An alternate configuration for route-map Toad on Zippy.
access-list 2 deny 172.16.2.0
access-list 2 deny 172.16.4.0
access-list 2 deny 172.16.6.0
access-list 2 permit any

Although route maps work fine as simple route filters, their strength lies in their ability to
change the routes in various ways. Consider the configuration in Example 14-24 of Zippy
in Figure 14-8.
Example 14-24 Zippy’s route-map configuration sets the metric type, metric and level of certain redistributed
routes.

Statement 10 of route map Griffy permits routes to the addresses in access list 1 and
redistributes them into OSPF as type 1 external routes. Statement 20 permits all other
routes, which will be redistributed with the default external type 2. Example 14-25 shows
the results.

Statement 10 of route map Toad permits routes to addresses in access list 2 and
redistributes them into IS-IS as level 1 routes. Their metric is set to 15. Statement 20
permits all other routes, which will be redistributed as level 2 and with a metric of 25,
as specified by the redistribute command under the IS-IS configuration (see
Example 14-26).
Example 14-26 The routes to destinations in the OSPF domain are L2 if the third octet of the address is even and
L1 if the third octet is odd. The “odds” are redistributed with a metric of 15, and the “evens” are
redistributed with a metric of 25 (10 is added for the hop from Zippy to Zerbina).

Case Study: Route Tagging


Figure 14-9 shows a situation in which routes from several routing domains, each running
a separate routing protocol, are being redistributed into a single transit domain running
OSPF. On the other side of the OSPF cloud, the routes must be redistributed back into their
respective domains. Route filters can be used at the egress points from the OSPF cloud into
each domain to permit only the routes that belong to that domain. However, if each domain
has many routes or if the routes within the domain change frequently, the route filters can
become difficult to manage.

Figure 14-9 Routes from each of the three domains on the left are redistributed into a transit network running
OSPF. On the right, the routes for each domain must be redistributed back into their original
domains.

Domain 1
Domain 1 (RIP)
(RIP)

Domain 2 Domain 2
(IS-IS) OSPF (IS-IS)

Domain 3
(EIGRP) Domain 3
(EIGRP)
Configuring Route Maps 753

Another way of handling this problem is to tag the routes at their ingress points to the OSPF
transit domain with a tag that is unique to each domain. At the egress points, the routes can
be redistributed by their tags instead of by specific addresses. The routing protocol of the
transit network does not necessarily use the tag, but merely conveys it to and from its
external networks. RIPv2, EIGRP, Integrated IS-IS, and OSPF all support route tags. BGP
also supports route tags. Tags are not supported by RIPv1. A case study in this section
shows how a transit network running OSPF can use the route tags.
A re-examination of the packet formats in Chapter 6, “RIPv2, RIPng, and Classless
Routing,” Chapter 7, “Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP),”
Chapter 8, “OSPFv2,” and Chapter 10, “Integrated IS-IS” show that RIPv2 messages
support 16-bit tags, IS-IS Inter-Domain Routing Protocol Information TLVs support
16-bit tags, and EIGRP external route TLVs and OSPF type 5 LSAs support 32-bit tags.
These tags are expressed as decimal numbers, so tags carried by RIPv2 and IS-IS will be
between 0 and 65,535, and tags carried by EIGRP and OSPF will be between 0 and
4,294,967,295.
In Figure 14-10, router Dagwood is accepting routes from three different routing
domains and redistributing them into a domain running OSPF. The objective here is
to tag the routes from each domain so that their source domain might be identified
within the OSPF cloud. Routes from domain 1 will have a tag of 1, domain 2 will have
a tag of 2, and so on.

Figure 14-10 Dagwood is configured to tag the routes from each of the three routing domains as they are
redistributed into OSPF.

Dagwood’s configuration is displayed in Example 14-27.


Example 14-27 Dagwood is configured to tag routes as they are redistributed into OSPF from RIP and EIGRP.
router ospf 1

match ip route-source 1
set tag 2
!
route-map Dithers permit 20
match ip route-source 2
set tag 3

First, notice the redistribute eigrp command under OSPF. Dagwood is accepting routes
from only one EIGRP domain, so the tag can be set to 1 directly on the redistribute
command. However, routes are being learned from two RIP domains. Here a route map is
needed. Route map Dithers sets the tag of the RIP routes to either 2 or 3, depending on
whether the route was learned from Funky (10.1.2.3) or Beetle (10.1.2.4). Figure 14-11
shows an LSA advertising one of the RIP-learned routes, with the route tag set to 2.

Figure 14-11 This type 5 LSA is advertising network 192.168.2.0, which is in domain 2, within the OSPF domain.
The route tag is shown on the last line.

The route tags can also be observed in the OSPF link state database (see Example 14-28).

In Figure 14-12, Blondie must redistribute only domain 2 routes to Alley and only domain 1
routes to Oop. Because the routes were tagged as they entered the OSPF transit domain, this
is easily done. Blondie’s configuration is shown in Example 14-29.

Example 14-30 shows the resulting routes at Alley and Oop. One drawback to the use of route
tags to filter routes is that there is no way to filter routes by interface. For example, if Blondie
had to send routes to both domain 2 and domain 3, which both run RIP, route maps could not
be configured to send some routes to one RIP process and other routes to another RIP process.
The routes would have to be filtered by address with distribute-list commands.

configuration at Blondie.

Case Study: Filtering Tagged Routes Out of OSPF Route Table


The network running OSPF in Figure 14-10 and Figure 14-12 is a transit network. If
devices within that transit area do not need to send packets to any of the other domains,
there is no need to maintain the addresses of those domains in the OSPF route tables. The
tags that were added to the routes, along with distribute lists and route maps, can be applied
to the OSPF routers to prevent the addresses from being added to the route tables, while not
affecting the entries in the link-state database.
Sally, a router wholly within the OSPF domain, has been modified with the configuration
in Example 14-31.
Example 14-31 Sally’s configuration uses tags to filter routes from the OSPF route table.
router ospf 1
network 10.100.200.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
network 10.1.5.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
distribute-list route-map Charlie in
!
route-map Charlie deny 10
match tag 1 2 3
!
route-map Charlie permit 20

The route map Charlie denies addresses that are marked with tags 1, 2 or 3. These addresses
are omitted from the IP route table by the distribute-list in command. Any other address
is added to the route table, permitted by the route map sequence 20. The distribute list is
758 Chapter 14: Route Maps

not applied to Blondie and Dagwood, the edge routers that are performing redistribution. If
an address is not in the route table, even if it is in the OSPF LSA database, it will not be
redistributed into another routing protocol. Example 14-32 shows Sally’s IP route table and
OSPF LSA database.

Example 14-32 The OSPF addresses marked with tags are filtered out of the IP route table. The addresses still exist
in the OSPF LSA database.

Configuring Route Maps 759

Case Study: IPv6 Redistribution with Route Maps


IPv6 routing protocols also support redistribution of routes using route maps. The
configuration is almost identical to IPv4.
Figure 14-13 shows the addition of IPv6 addresses and routing protocols to the network
shown in Figure 14-10. Funky and Beetle are each running RIPng. Dagwood is
redistributing IPv6 prefixes between RIPng and IS-IS. Only IPv6 prefixes from Beetle are
redistributed into IS-IS, and prefix 2001:db8:0:77::/64 is set with a metric of 10 while prefix
2001:db8:0:200::/64 has a metric of 100.

Figure 14-13 IPv6 has been added to the network in Figure 14-10. IPv6 prefixes are redistributed between RIPng
and IS-IS.

ipv6 prefix-list 2 permit 2001:db8:0:200::/64
ipv6 prefix-list 3 permit 2001:db8:0:77::/64

IPv6 prefix-lists are used to match the source of route information or to match specific
addresses for redistribution. Statement 10 of Beetlefilter specifies that the route source
must equal Beetle’s IPv6 address and the prefix must equal 2001:db8:0:77::/64 for the
metric to be set to 10. If the route source or the prefix does not match, statement 20 is
executed. If the source is Beetle and the prefix is 2001:db8:0:200::/64, the metric is set
to 100. If the source is not Beetle, or the prefix is not one of the ones specified, the route
is not redistributed.
Sally’s IS-IS database (Example 14-34) shows the redistributed prefixes.

Example 14-34 The redistributed routes are seen in Sally’s IS-IS database.

Summary Table: Chapter 14 Command Review 761

Looking Ahead
This chapter concludes this book’s in-depth look at routing TCP/IP with respect to interior
gateway protocols. If you are preparing to become a CCIE, you certainly will want to know
this book’s topics thoroughly before taking the exam. Use the end-of-chapter questions and
exercises to test your level of understanding and preparedness. And if you haven’t studied
routing TCP/IP with respect to Exterior Gateway Protocols, doing so is a next logical step
in your preparation.

Configuration Exercises 763

Review Questions
1 How are route maps similar to access lists? How are they different?
2 What are policy routes?
3 What are route tags?
4 In what way do route tags affect routing protocols?

Configuration Exercises
1 Configure policy routes for Router A in Figure 14-14 that forward packets from subnets
172.16.1.0/28 through 172.16.1.112/28 to Router D and forward packets from subnets
172.16.1.128/28 through 172.16.1.240/28 to Router E.

172.16.1.208/28
172.16.1.224/28
172.16.1.240/28

2 Configure policy routes for Router A in Figure 14-14 so that packets from subnets 172.16.1.64/28
through 172.16.1.112/28 are forwarded to Router D if they are received from Router C. If
packets from the same subnets are received from Router B, forward them to Router E. All other
packets should be forwarded normally.
3 Configure policy routes for Router A in Figure 14-14 that will forward any packets destined for
subnets 172.16.1.0/28 through 172.16.1.240/28, sourced from an SMTP port, to Router C. Route
any other UDP packets destined for the same subnets to Router B. No other packets should be
forwarded to Routers C or B by either the policy routes or the normal routing protocol.

10.102.100.0/24 10.202.100.0/24

Configure the router to redistribute internal EIGRP routes into OSPF as E1 routes with a metric
of 10 and to redistribute external EIGRP routes into OSPF as E2 routes with a metric of 50. Of
the networks and subnets shown in the EIGRP domain, all should be redistributed except
10.201.100.0/24.
5 Configure the router in Figure 14-15 to redistribute internal OSPF routes into EIGRP with a
lower delay than external OSPF routes. Allow only the three Class C networks shown in the
OSPF domain to be redistributed.

Troubleshooting Exercise
1 Given the following configuration:
interface TokenRingl
ip address 192.168.15.254 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map Ex1
!
access-list 1 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 101 permit host 192.168.10.5 any eq telnet
!
route-map Ex1 permit 5
match ip address 1
set ip next-hop 192.168.16.254
Troubleshooting Exercise 765

!
route-map Ex1 permit 10
match ip address 101
set ip next-hop 192.168.17.254

The intention is to policy route all packets whose source address prefix is 192.168.0.0 to
192.168.255.255. The exception is that packets originating from the Telnet port of host
192.168.10.5 should be forwarded to 192.168.17.254. There are two errors in this
configuration that are preventing the policy route from working correctly. What are they?
