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.

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.

You can enable this feature globally in system view or enable this feature for a specific interface in interface view. This feature takes effect on an interface if it is enabled for the interface or enabled globally.

To disable this feature, you must disable it in both system view and interface view.

Examples

# Enable split horizon forwarding globally.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] forwarding split-horizon

forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol

Use forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol to enable hardware forwarding for specific packets received from VXLAN tunnels.

Use undo forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol to restore the default.

Syntax

forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol { ipv4 | ipv6 } *

undo forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol [ ipv4 | ipv6 ]

Default

Packets received from VXLAN tunnels are delivered to the CPU for processing.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

ipv4: Specifies IPv4 packets.

ipv6: Specifies IPv6 packets.

Usage guidelines

By default, the device forwards packets received from VXLAN tunnels to the CPU for processing when acting as a VTEP in a distributed EVPN gateway network. If a large number of packets are received, packet loss might occur because of software rate limit, which might cause service exceptions on downlink devices.

To resolve this issue, you can enable the device to forward specific packets received from VXLAN tunnels in hardware without delivering them to the CPU.

Examples

# Enable hardware forwarding for IPv4 packets received from VXLAN tunnels.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] forwarding vxlan-packet inner-protocol ipv4

ip forwarding

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

mdc-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

mdc-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

snmp-agent trap enable fib

Use snmp-agent trap enable fib to enable SNMP notifications for FIB events.

Use undo snmp-agent trap enable fib to disable SNMP notifications for FIB events.

Syntax

snmp-agent trap enable fib

undo snmp-agent trap enable fib

Default

SNMP notifications for FIB events are enabled.

Usage guidelines

This feature enables the FIB module to generate SNMP notifications for critical FIB events. The SNMP notifications are sent to the SNMP module. For the SNMP notifications to be sent correctly, you must also configure SNMP. For more information about SNMP configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Disable SNMP notifications for FIB events.

<Sysname> system-view

ipv4oe: Specifies the format of IPv4 over Ethernet.

dest-ip ip-address: Specifies the destination IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. If you do not specify this argument, the calculation uses 0.0.0.0 for path selection.

src-ip ip-address: Specifies the source IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. If you do not specify this argument, the calculation uses 0.0.0.0 for path selection.

ipv6oe: Specifies the format of IPv6 over Ethernet.

dest-ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the destination IPv6 address. If you do not specify this option, the calculation uses 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 for path selection.

src-ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the source IPv6 address. If you do not specify this option, the calculation uses 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 for path selection.

flow-label flow-label: Specifies the IPv6 flow label in the range of 0 to 1048575. If you do not specify an IPv6 flow label, the device uses 0 for ECMP route selection.

dest-port port-id: Specifies a destination port number in the range of 1 to 65535. If you do not specify this option, the calculation uses 0 for path selection.

ip-pro protocol-id: Specifies an IP protocol by its number in the range of 1 to 65535. If you do not specify this option, the calculation uses 0 for path selection.

source-port port-id: Specifies a source port number in the range of 1 to 65535. If you do not specify this option, the calculation uses 0 for path selection.

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 path on the public network, do not specify this option.

Usage guidelines

The option settings in this command must match both the options displayed in the display ip load-sharing mode command and the field values in load shared packets. If the option settings do not meet the requirement, the path displayed by this command might be different from the real path for load sharing.

The command cannot display egress interface information or tunnel encapsulation packet information for non-known unicast packets.

Parameters

algorithm algorithm-number: Specifies an algorithm for per-flow load sharing. The value range for the algorithm-number argument is 0 to 1.If you specify an algorithm, and then execute the undo ip load-sharing mode command, the algorithm value is set to 0.

seed seed-number: Specifies the seed value for the algorithm. The value range is 0 to ffffffff.

shift shift-number: Specifies the shift value for the hash algorithm result. The value range is 0 to 31.

per-flow: Implements per-flow load sharing. If you specify none of the dest-ip, dest-port, ingress-port, ip-pro, src-ip, and src-port keywords, the device performs per-flow load sharing based on the destination IP addresses and source IP addresses of packets.

dest-ip: Identifies flows by destination IP address.

dest-port: Identifies flows by destination port.

flow-label: Identifies flows by flow label. This keyword takes effect only on IPv6 packets.

ingress-port: Identifies flows by ingress port.

ip-pro: Identifies flows by protocol number.

src-ip: Identifies flows by source IP address.

src-port: Identifies flows by source port.

tunnel { inner | outer }: Performs per-flow load sharing for IP tunnel packets. The inner keyword identifies flows by inner IP header information. The outer keyword identifies flows by outer IP header information. If you do not specify this option, the device identifies IP tunnel packet flows by outer IP header information to implement load sharing.

global: Configures the load sharing mode globally.

slot slot-number: Specifies a card by its slot number. If you do not specify a card, this command configures the load sharing mode for all cards. (In standalone mode.)

chassis chassis-number slot slot-number: Specifies a card on an IRF member device. The chassis-number argument represents the member ID of the IRF member device. The slot-number argument represents the slot number of the card. If you do not specify a card, this command configures the load sharing mode for all cards. (In IRF mode.)

Usage guidelines

If traffic is not shared equally, you can use the seed seed-number option and the shift shift-number option to adjust the algorithm result.

Load sharing hash seed does not take effect on non-known unicast packets.

Load sharing for IP tunnel packets does not take effect on non-known unicast packets.

For MPLS packets, the device only supports per-flow load sharing based on their source IP addresses or destination IP addresses.

The load-sharing mode configured for a slot takes precedence over the global load-sharing mode. The global mode takes effect only on slots not configured with a load-sharing mode.

Examples

# (In standalone mode.) Configure per-flow load sharing for slot 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] ip load-sharing mode per-flow slot 1

# (In standalone mode.) Configure per-flow load sharing based on the destination IP addresses and source IP addresses of packets for slot 1.
