Lab 28: DLSw+ Reachability, Border Peers, Demand Peers, and Resilient Peers ”Part II

Lab Walkthrough

Begin by attaching the four routers in a back-to-back manner as illustrated in Figure 13-50.

When the physical connections are complete, assign IP addresses to all LAN and WAN interfaces, as depicted in Figure 13-50. To configure the WAN interfaces, one end of the link must be configured as DCE if you are using back-to-back cables. Use the interface command clock rate speed to set one side of the link to be DCE. The WAN protocol is HDLC, so no further configuration is necessary to make the link active. The model specifies that you can have only one serial link active at a time between the us_border and us_tour routers. To configure one link to back up the other, use the backup interface command. Example 13-67 lists the serial configuration of the us_border router.

Example 13-67 Serial Configuration of the us_border Router
  hostname us_border   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Serial0   ip address 128.10.101.1 255.255.255.252   no fair-queue   clockrate 64000   !   interface Serial1   backup delay 0 0   backup interface Serial7   ip address 128.10.10.6 255.255.255.252   clockrate 64000   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Serial7   ip address 128.10.10.1 255.255.255.252   clockrate 64000   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.10.0.0   no auto-summary  

When you can ping all of the routers' local interfaces, configure EIGRP as the routing protocol. This model has two major subnets; thus, the canada_border router will need two network statements, one for 128.20.0.0 and one for 128.10.0.0. Example 13-68 lists the EIGRP configuration of the canada_border router.

Example 13-68 EIGRP Configuration of the canada_border Router
  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.10.0.0   network 128.20.0.0   no auto-summary   !  

Begin the DLSw configuration by configuring the peer between the U.S. routers first. Recall the following four-step process for configuring DLSw:

Step 1. Configure loopback address for peers.

Step 2. Configure local peers.

Step 3. Configure SRB or transparent bridging.

Step 4. Configure remote peers.

Begin by configuring loopback addresses on all the routers. You will use these for the local and remote peers.

Step 2 calls for configuring local peers. The U.S. routers will be in peer group 10. To the local peer to a peer group , use the group keyword on the local-peer statement. The us_border router actually will be the border peer for peer group 10. To configure a border peer, simply include the keyword border on the local-peer statement. The Canada routers will be in peer group 20, and the canada_border router will be the border peer for that peer group.

To configure transparent bridging to satisfy Step 3, add the Ethernet interface to a bridge group with the interface command bridge-group x. STP also must be enabled with the global command bridge 1 protocol IEEE, where 1 is the transparent bridge number. The transparent bridging portion for all of the router configurations will be identical. Example 13-69 lists the transparent bridging configuration of the us_tour router. This example also demonstrates the command needed to attach the bridge group to a DLSw domain.

Example 13-69 Transparent Bridging Configuration
   dlsw bridge-group 1  graphics/u2190.gif Attach bridge 1 to DLSW   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Ethernet0   ip address 128.10.1.1 255.255.255.0   no ip directed-broadcast   media-type 10BaseT   bridge-group 1   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   bridge 1 protocol ieee   !  

Step 4 involves configuring a TCP peer from the us_tour router to the us_border router. This peer needs to be configured so that it will not drop when a serial line converges. To prevent a peer from dropping during a link failure, assign a timeout 500 value and a keepalive 0 value to the remote peer on both sides of the link. The us_tour router will need to be configured for a peer-on-demand from the canada_tour router. To configure a peer-on-demand, use the following global command:

 us_tour(config)#  dlsw peer-on-demand-defaults tcp-queue-max 50  

The last DLSw command that you need to configure on the us_tour router is for DLSw reachability. To advertise reachability to the station US_STATION, use the following DLSw command:

 us_tour(config)#  dlsw icanreach netbios-name US_STATIONS  

Example 13-70 shows the complete configuration of the us_tour router.

Example 13-70 Configuration of the us_tour Router
  hostname us_tour   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   dlsw local-peer peer-id 128.10.128.9 group 10   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.1 keepalive 0 timeout 500   dlsw icanreach netbios-name US_STATIONS   dlsw peer-on-demand-defaults tcp-queue-max 50   dlsw bridge-group 1   !   !   interface Loopback20   ip address 128.10.128.9 255.255.255.252   no ip directed-broadcast   !   interface Ethernet0   ip address 128.10.1.1 255.255.255.0   no ip directed-broadcast   media-type 10BaseT   bridge-group 1   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Serial0   ip address 128.10.10.5 255.255.255.252   no ip directed-broadcast   no ip mroute-cache   !   interface Serial1   ip address 128.10.10.1 255.255.255.252   no ip directed-broadcast   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.10.0.0   no auto-summary   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   bridge 1 protocol ieee   !  

The us_border peer has one additional peer configured to the canada_border router. Example 13-71 shows the complete configuration of the us_border router.

Example 13-71 Configuration of the us_border Router
  hostname us_border   !   dlsw local-peer peer-id 128.10.128.1 group 10 border   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.9 keepalive 0 timeout 500   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.5   dlsw bridge-group 1   !   interface Loopback20   ip address 128.10.128.1 255.255.255.252   !   interface Ethernet0   ip address 128.10.100.1 255.255.255.0   bridge-group 1   !   interface Serial0   ip address 128.10.101.1 255.255.255.252   no fair-queue   clockrate 64000   !   interface Serial1   backup delay 0 0   backup interface Serial7   ip address 128.10.10.6 255.255.255.252   clockrate 64000   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Serial7   ip address 128.10.10.1 255.255.255.252   clockrate 64000   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.10.0.0   no auto-summary   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   bridge 1 protocol ieee  

To view the static NetBIOS reachability from the us_border peer, enter the show dlsw reachability command as demonstrated in Example 13-72. You should now see the NetBIOS name US_STATIONS being reported to the border router.

Example 13-72 Viewing the Reachability on the us_border Router
 us_border#  show dlsw reachability  DLSw Remote MAC address reachability cache list Mac Addr        status     Loc.    port                 rif DLSw Local MAC address reachability cache list Mac Addr        status     Loc.    peer 0000.613c.dc82  FOUND      REMOTE  128.10.128.5(2065) DLSw Local NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name    status     Loc.    port                 rif DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name    status     Loc.    peer  US_STATIONS     UNCONFIRM  REMOTE  128.10.128.9(2065)  us_border# 

The configuration of canada_border router and canada_tour routers mirrors that of the two U.S. routers. Example 13-73 shows the complete configurations of these routers.

Example 13-73 Configurations of the Canada Routers
  hostname canada_border   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   dlsw local-peer peer-id 128.10.128.5 group 20 border   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.1   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.13   dlsw bridge-group 1   !   !   interface Loopback20   ip address 128.10.128.5 255.255.255.252   !   interface Ethernet0   ip address 128.20.100.1 255.255.255.0   bridge-group 1   !   interface Serial0   ip address 128.10.101.2 255.255.255.252   no fair-queue   !   interface Serial1   ip address 128.20.10.2 255.255.255.252   clockrate 64000   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.10.0.0   network 128.20.0.0   no auto-summary   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   bridge 1 protocol ieee   !  _______________________________________________________________________  hostname canada_tour   !   !   dlsw local-peer peer-id 128.10.128.13 group 20   dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 128.10.128.5   dlsw icanreach netbios-name CANADA_STATIONS   dlsw peer-on-demand-defaults tcp-queue-max 50   dlsw bridge-group 1   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   interface Loopback20   ip address 128.10.128.13 255.255.255.252   !   interface Ethernet0   ip address 128.20.1.1 255.255.255.0   bridge-group 1   !   interface Serial0   ip address 128.20.10.1 255.255.255.252   no fair-queue   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   router eigrp 2001   network 128.20.0.0   network 128.10.0.0   no auto-summary   !  <<<text omitted>>>  !   bridge 1 protocol ieee  

To verify the configuration, view the DLSw reachability on the border routers. You should see the static ICANREACH from the peers within the same group as the border peer. As mentioned previously, a Windows workstation is a great way to test DLSw. By putting workstations on the various LAN segments, you can generate traffic, create circuits, and force explorers. Example 13-74 shows a workstation connected to the DLSw domain, issuing an explorer for the NetBIOS station BORDER-PATROL.

Example 13-74 Verifying the Configuration
 us_border#  show dlsw reachability  DLSw Remote MAC address reachability cache list Mac Addr        status     Loc.    port                 rif DLSw Local MAC address reachability cache list Mac Addr        status     Loc.    peer 0000.613c.dc82  FOUND      REMOTE  128.10.128.5(2065) DLSw Local NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name    status     Loc.    port                 rif  BORDER-PATROL   SEARCHING  LOCAL  DLSw Remote NetBIOS Name reachability cache list NetBIOS Name    status     Loc.    peer TOURIST         FOUND      REMOTE  128.10.128.5(2065) US_STATIONS     UNCONFIRM  REMOTE  128.10.128.9(2065) us_border# 

Verifying the DLSw peer connections and DLSw capabilities is another way to ensure that the DLSw network is operating. Example 13-75 illustrates the show dlsw peer command on the canada_border router.

Example 13-75 Verifying the Peers on the canada_border Router
 canada_border#  show dlsw peer  Peers:                state     pkts_rx   pkts_tx  type  drops ckts TCP   uptime  TCP 128.10.128.1    CONNECT         65        85  conf      0    0   0 00:32:20  TCP 128.10.128.13   CONNECT         67       103  conf      0    0   0 00:33:00 Total number of connected peers: 2 Total number of connections:     2 canada_border#
