Router Configuration Overview
In an Alcatel-Lucent router, an interface is a logical named entity. An interface is created by specifying an interface name under the configure>router context. This is the global router configuration context where objects like static routes are defined. An IP interface name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, must start with a letter, and is case-sensitive; for example, the interface name “1.1.1.1” is not allowed, but “int-1.1.1.1” is allowed.
To create an interface, the basic configuration tasks that must be performed are:
•
Assign a name to the interface.
•
Associate an IP address with the interface.
•
Associate the interface with a network interface or the system interface.
•
Configure appropriate routing protocols.
A system interface and network interface should be configured.
 
System Interface
The system interface is associated with the network entity (such as a specific Alcatel-Lucent router), not a specific interface. The system interface is also referred to as the loopback address. The system interface is associated during the configuration of the following entities:
•
The termination point of service tunnels
•
The hops when configuring MPLS paths and LSPs
•
The addresses on a target router for BGP and LDP peering.
The system interface is used to preserve connectivity (when routing reconvergence is possible) when an interface fails or is removed. The system interface is used as the router identifier. A system interface must have an IP address with a 32-bit subnet mask.
 
Network Interface
A network interface can be configured on one of the following entities a physical port or LAG:
•
A physical or logical port
•
A SONET/SDH channel
Basic Configuration
NOTE: Refer to each specific chapter for specific routing protocol information and command syntax to configure protocols such as OSPF and BGP.
The most basic router configuration must have the following:
•
System name
•
System address
 
 
The following example displays a router configuration:

Configuring a System Name
Use the system command to configure a name for the device. The name is used in the prompt string. Only one system name can be configured. If multiple system names are configured, the last one configured will overwrite the previous entry.
If special characters are included in the system name string, such as spaces, #, or ?, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Use the following CLI syntax to configure the system name:
CLI Syntax: config# system
name system-name
Example: config# system
config>system# name ALA-A
ALA-A>config>system# exit all
ALA-A#
The following example displays the system name output.
A:ALA-A>config>system# info
#------------------------------------------
# System Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        name "ALA-A"
        location "Mt.View, CA, NE corner of FERG 1 Building"
        coordinates "37.390, -122.05500 degrees lat."
        snmp
        exit
 
 
Configuring Interfaces
The following command sequences create a system and a logical IP interface. The system interface assigns an IP address to the interface, and then associates the IP interface with a physical port. The logical interface can associate attributes like an IP address or port.
Note that the system interface cannot be deleted.
 
Configuring a System Interface
To configure a system interface:
CLI Syntax: config>router
interface interface-name
address {[ip-address/mask]|[ip-address] [netmask]} [broadcast {all-ones|host-ones]
secondary {[address/mask|ip-address][netmask]} [broadcast {all-ones|host-ones}] [igp-inhibit]
 
Configuring a Network Interface
To configure a network interface:
CLI Syntax: config>router
interface interface-name
address ip-addr{/mask-length | mask} [broadcast {all-ones | host-ones}]
cflowd {acl | interface}
egress
filter ip ip-filter-id
filter ipv6 ipv6-filter-id
ingress
filter ip ip-filter-id
filter ipv6 ipv6-filter-id
port port-name
 
The following displays an IP configuration output showing interface information.
A:ALA-A>config>router# info 
#------------------------------------------
# IP Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        interface "system"
            address 10.10.0.4/32
        exit
        interface "to-ALA-2"
            address 10.10.24.4/24
            port 1/1/1
            egress
                filter ip 10
            exit
        exit
...
#------------------------------------------
A:ALA-A>config>router#
 
To enable CPU protection:
CLI Syntax: config>router
interface interface-name
cpu-protection policy-id
CPU protection policies are configured in the config>sys>security>cpu-protection context. See the OS System Management Guide.
 
Configuring IPv6 Parameters
IPv6 interfaces and associated routing protocols may only be configured on the following systems:
•
Chassis systems running in chassis mode c or d.
•

Creating an IP Address Range
An IP address range can be reserved for exclusive use for services by defining the config>router>service-prefix command. When the service is configured, the IP address must be in the range specified as a service prefix. If no service prefix command is configured, then no limitation exists.
The no service-prefix ip-prefix/mask command removes all address reservations. A service prefix cannot be removed while one or more services use address(es) in the range to be removed.
CLI Syntax: config>router
service-prefix ip-prefix/mask [exclusive]
 
 
Deriving the Router ID
The router ID defaults to the address specified in the system interface command. If the system interface is not configured with an IP address, then the router ID inherits the last four bytes of the MAC address. The router ID can also be manually configured in the config>router router-id context. On the BGP protocol level, a BGP router ID can be defined in the config>router>bgp router-id context and is only used within BGP.
Note that if a new router ID is configured, protocols are not automatically restarted with the new router ID. The next time a protocol is initialized the new router ID is used. An interim period of time can occur when different protocols use different router IDs. To force the new router ID, issue the shutdown and no shutdown commands for each protocol that uses the router ID, or restart the entire router.
It is possible to configure an SR OS node to operate with an IPv6 only BOF and no IPv4 system interface address. When configured in this manner, the operator must explicitly define IPv4 router IDs for protocols such as OSPF and BGP as there is no mechanism to derive the router ID from an IPv6 system interface address.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure the router ID:
CLI Syntax: config>router
router-id router-id
interface ip-int-name
address {ip-address/mask | ip-address netmask} [broadcast all-ones | host-ones]
 
The following example displays a router ID configuration:
A:ALA-4>config>router# info
#------------------------------------------
# IP Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        interface "system"
            address 10.10.0.4/32
        exit
	. . . 
        router-id 10.10.0.4
#------------------------------------------
A:ALA-4>config>router#
 
Configuring a Confederation
Configuring a confederation is optional. The AS and confederation topology design should be carefully planned. Autonomous system (AS), confederation, and BGP connection and peering parameters must be explicitly created on each participating router. Identify AS numbers, confederation numbers, and members participating in the confederation.
Refer to the BGP section for CLI syntax and command descriptions.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure a confederation:
CLI Syntax: config>router
confederation confed-as-num members member-as-num
The following example displays the commands to configure the confederation topology diagram displayed in Figure 2.
NOTES:
•
Confederations can be preconfigured prior to configuring BGP connections and peering.
•
Each confederation can have up to 15 members.
 
The following displays a confederation example. 
A:ALA-B>config>router# info
#------------------------------------------
# IP Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        interface "system"
            address 10.10.10.103/32
        exit
        interface "to-104"
            shutdown
            address 10.0.0.103/24
            port 1/1/1
        exit
        autonomous-system 100
        confederation 2002 members 200 300 400
        router-id 10.10.10.103

Configuring an Autonomous System
Configuring an autonomous system is optional. Use the following CLI syntax to configure an autonomous system:
CLI Syntax: config>router
autonomous-system as-number
 
The following displays an autonomous system configuration example:
A;ALA-A>config>router# info
#------------------------------------------
# IP Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        interface "system"
            address 10.10.10.103/32
        exit
   interface "to-104"
            address 10.0.0.103/24
            port 1/1/1
            exit
        exit
        autonomous-system 100
        router-id 10.10.10.103
#------------------------------------------
A:ALA-A>config>router#
 
Configuring Overload State on a Single SFM
A 7x50 system with a single SFM installed has a system multicast throughput that is only a half of a 7x50 system with dual SFMs installed. For example, in a mixed environment in which IOM1s, IOM2s, and IOM3s are installed in the same system (chassis mode B or C), system multicast throughput doubles when redundant SFMs are used instead of a single SFM. If the required system multicast throughput is between 16G and 32G (which means both SFMs are being actively used), when there is an SFM failure, multicast traffic needs to be rerouted around the node.
Some scenarios include:
•
There is only one SFM installed in the system
•
One SFM (active or standby) failed in a dual SFM configuration
•
The system is in the ISSU process
You can use an overload state in IGP to trigger the traffic reroute by setting the overload bit in IS-IS or setting the metric to maximum in OSPF. Since PIM uses IGP to find out the upstream router, a next-hop change in IGP will cause PIM to join the new path and prune the old path, which effectively reroutes the multicast traffic downstream. When the problem is resolved, the overload condition is cleared, which will cause the traffic to be routed back to the router.
Service Management Tasks
This section discusses the following service management tasks:
•
Changing the System Name
•
Modifying Interface Parameters
•
Deleting a Logical IP Interface
 
Changing the System Name
The system command sets the name of the device and is used in the prompt string. Only one system name can be configured. If multiple system names are configured, the last one configured will overwrite the previous entry.
Use the following CLI syntax to change the system name:
CLI Syntax: config# system
name system-name
The following example displays the command usage to change the system name:
Example: A:ALA-A>config>system# name tgif
 A:TGIF>config>system#
The following example displays the system name change:
A:ALA-A>config>system# name TGIF
A:TGIF>config>system# info
#------------------------------------------
# System Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        name "TGIF"
	location "Mt.View, CA, NE corner of FERG 1 Building"
	coordinates "37.390, -122.05500 degrees lat."
	synchronize
	snmp
        exit
        security
            snmp
                community "private" rwa version both
            exit
        exit
        . . .
----------------------------------------------
A:TGIF>config>system#
 
Modifying Interface Parameters
Starting at the config>router level, navigate down to the router interface context.
To modify an IP address, perform the following steps:
Example: A:ALA-A>config>router# interface “to-sr1”
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# shutdown
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# no address
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# address 10.0.0.25/24
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# no shutdown
To modify a port, perform the following steps:
Example: A:ALA-A>config>router# interface “to-sr1”
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# shutdown
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# no port
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# port 1/1/2
A:ALA-A>config>router>if# no shutdown
 
The following example displays the interface configuration:
A:ALA-A>config>router# info
#------------------------------------------
# IP Configuration
#------------------------------------------
        interface "system"
            address 10.0.0.103/32
        exit
        interface "to-sr1"
            address 10.0.0.25/24
            port 1/1/2
        exit
        router-id 10.10.0.3
#------------------------------------------
A:ALA-A>config>router#
 
Deleting a Logical IP Interface
The no form of the interface command typically removes the entry, but all entity associations must be shut down and/or deleted before an interface can be deleted.
1.
Before an IP interface can be deleted, it must first be administratively disabled with the shutdown command.
2.
After the interface has been shut down, it can then be deleted with the no interface command.
CLI Syntax: config>router
no interface ip-int-name
Example: config>router# interface test-interface
config>router>if# shutdown
config>router>if# exit
config>router# no interface test-interface
config>router#
