Basic IP forwarding commands

display fib

Use display fib to display FIB entries.

Syntax

display fib [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] [ ip-address [ mask | mask-length ] ]

network-operator

Parameters

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. To display the FIB entries for the public network, do not specify any VPN instance.

ip-address: Displays the FIB entry that matches the specified destination IP address.

mask: Specifies the mask for the IP address.

mask-length: Specifies the mask length for the IP address. The value range is 0 to 32.

Usage guidelines

If you specify an IP address without a mask or mask length, this command displays the longest matching FIB entry.

If you specify an IP address and a mask or mask length, this command displays the exactly matching FIB entry.

forwarding split-horizon

Use forwarding split-horizon to enable split horizon forwarding.

Use undo forwarding split-horizon to disable split horizon forwarding.

Syntax

forwarding split-horizon

undo forwarding split-horizon

Default

Split horizon forwarding is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This feature prevents IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS packets from being forwarded out of the physical interface on which they were received, avoiding network loops.

Examples

# Enable split horizon forwarding.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] forwarding split-horizon

ip forwarding

NOTE: This command is available only in Release 6635 and later versions.

 

Use ip forwarding to enable IPv4 packet forwarding on an interface that has no IPv4 address configured.

Use undo ip forwarding to disable IPv4 packet forwarding on an interface that has no IPv4 address configured.

Syntax

ip forwarding

undo ip forwarding

Default

If an interface has no IPv4 address configured, the IPv4 packet forwarding is disabled on the interface.

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

On a device that supports both IPv4 and IPv6, the next hop of an IPv4 packet might be an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. If the output interface has no IPv4 address configured, the interface cannot forward the IPv4 packet. To solve this problem, execute this command on the interface. This feature allows the interface to forward IPv4 packets even though the interface has no IPv4 address configured.

Examples

# Enable IPv4 packet forwarding on VLAN-interface 1 that has no IPv4 address configured.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 1

[Sysname-Vlan-interface1] ip forwarding

ip forwarding-table save

Use ip forwarding-table save to save the IP forwarding entries to a file.

Syntax

ip forwarding-table save filename filename

Views

Any view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

filename filename: Specifies the name of a file, a string of 1 to 255 characters. For information about the filename argument, see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Usage guidelines

The command automatically creates the file if you specify a nonexistent file. If the file already exists, this command overwrites the file content.

To automatically save the IP forwarding entries periodically, configure a schedule for the device to automatically run the ip forwarding-table save command. For information about scheduling a task, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Save the IP forwarding entries to the fib.txt file.

<Sysname> ip forwarding-table save filename fib.txt

packet-drop statistics enable

NOTE: This command is available only in Release 6635 and later versions.

 

Use packet-drop statistics enable to enable packet-drop statistics collection on interfaces.

Use undo packet-drop statistics enable to disable packet-drop statistics collection on interfaces.

Syntax

packet-drop statistics enable [ in-acl | out-acl | in-checksum | out-checksum | in-illegal-interface | in-l2-mtu | out-l2-mtu | in-l3-header | in-l3-header-ipv6 | in-l3-mtu | in-l3-nexthop | in-l3-rib | in-l3-rib-ipv6 | in-l3-ttl | in-stp-block | out-stp-block | in-same-interface | in-storm-suppression | in-vlan-mismatch | out-vlan-mismatch ] *

Default

The device does not count packet drops on interfaces.

Load sharing commands

bandwidth-based-sharing

Use bandwidth-based-sharing to enable IPv4 load sharing based on bandwidth.

Use undo bandwidth-based-sharing to disable IPv4 load sharing based on bandwidth.

Syntax

bandwidth-based-sharing

undo bandwidth-based-sharing

Default

The IPv4 load sharing based on bandwidth is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This feature load shares flow traffic among multiple output interfaces based on their load percentages. The device calculates the load percentage for each output interface in terms of their expected bandwidths.

Devices that run load sharing protocols, such as Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implement load sharing based on the ratios defined by these protocols.

This feature is mutually exclusive with the enhanced ECMP mode configured by the ecmp mode enhanced command.

After you enable this feature, the expected bandwidth set by using the bandwidth command on an interface cannot exceed the actual physical bandwidth of the interface.

After you enable this feature, you must set the expected bandwidth for VLAN interfaces to ensure correct bandwidth allocation.

Examples

# Enable IPv4 load sharing based on bandwidth.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] bandwidth-based-sharing

display ip load-sharing mode

Use display ip load-sharing mode to display the load sharing mode in use.

Syntax

Examples

# Display the load sharing mode in use.

<Sysname> display ip load-sharing mode slot 1

Load-sharing mode: per-flow

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

Symmetric load sharing ensures that bidirectional traffic specific to a particular source and destination address pair flow along the same path.

Before you enable symmetric load sharing, first execute the ip load-sharing mode command to configure five tuple-based load sharing. The device will perform load sharing based on the source IP address, destination IP address, source port number, destination port number, and IP protocol number. If not doing so, the device will use the default load sharing mode. In this mode, the packet ingress port is included in load sharing calculation and symmetric load sharing does not take effect.

Examples

# Enable symmetric load sharing.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ip load-sharing symmetric enable
