  1. Frame-Mode MPLS Implementation on Cisco IOS Platforms Introducing CEF Switching

  2. Outline • Overview • What Are Cisco IOS Platform Switching Mechanisms? • Using Standard IP Switching • What Is the CEF Switching Architecture? • Configuring IP CEF • Monitoring IP CEF • Summary

  3. Cisco IOS Platform Switching Mechanisms • The Cisco IOS platform supports three IP switching mechanisms: • Routingtabledriven switching—process switching • Full lookup for every packet • Cachedriven switching—fast switching • Most recent destinations entered in the cache • First packet always process-switched • Topologydriven switching • CEF (prebuilt FIB table)

  4. Standard IP Switching Review

  5. CEF Switching Review

  6. Configuring IP CEF Router(config)# • This command starts CEF switching and creates the FIB table. • The distributed keyword configures distributed CEF (running on VIP or line cards). • All CEF-capable interfaces run CEF switching. ip cef [distributed] Router(config-if)# no ip route-cache cef • Disables CEF switching on an interface • Usually not needed

  7. Monitoring IP CEF Router#show ip cef detailIP CEF with switching (Table Version 6), flags=0x0 6 routes, 0 reresolve, 0 unresolved (0 old, 0 new) 9 leaves, 11 nodes, 12556 bytes, 9 inserts, 0 invalidations 0 load sharing elements, 0 bytes, 0 references 2 CEF resets, 0 revisions of existing leaves refcounts: 543 leaf, 544 node Adjacency Table has 4 adjacencies 0.0.0.0/32, version 0, receive 192.168.3.1/32, version 3, cached adjacency to Serial0/0.10 0 packets, 0 bytes tag information set local tag: 28 fast tag rewrite with Se0/0.10, point2point, tags imposed: {28} via 192.168.3.10, Serial0/0.10, 0 dependencies next hop 192.168.3.10, Serial0/0.10 valid cached adjacency tag rewrite with Se0/0.10, point2point, tags imposed: {28} Router#show ip cef detail

  8. Summary • Three different switching mechanisms are used on Cisco IOS platforms: routing table driven, cache driven, and topology driven. • Entries received with no destination address information are process-switched; subsequent packets are fast-switched. • Generation of entries in the FIB table is caused by a change trigger; when something in the routing table changes, the change is also reflected in the FIB table. • CEF is configured globally. • The show ip cef command is used to monitor CEF operation.
