[no] ip spd queue {min-threshold | max-threshold} <n> |
config |
IOS |
Sets lower and upper ip process-level queue thresholds for SPD. With SSE
based SPD, lower precedence packets are randomly dropped when the queue size
hits min-threshold. The drop probability increases linearly with the queue
size until max-threshold is reached, at which point all lower precedence
packets are dropped. For regular SPD, lower precedence packets are dropped
when the queue size reaches min-threshold. Defaults are 50 and 75,
respectively. These values were not based on real life experience and may
need some tuning. |
Reference: Cisco ISP Esssentials |
|
[no] spd enable |
config |
IOS |
Enable or disable the selective packet discard (SPD) feature. Command
is called “ip spd enable” in 11.1CC. |

aaa pod server [port <port number>] [auth-type {any | all | session-key}] server-key <string> |
config |
IOS (>= 11.3(7)AA) |
Syntax Description
- port <port number>(Optional) The network access server port to use for POD requests. If noport is specified, port 1700 is used.
- auth-type(Optional) The type of authorization required for disconnecting sessions.
- anySession that matches all of the attributes sent in the POD packet isdisconnected. The POD packet may contain one or more of four key attributes(user-name, framed-IP-address, session-ID, and session-key).
- allOnly a session that matches all four key attributes is disconnected. Allis the default.
- session-keySession with a matching session-key attribute is disconnected. All otherattributes are ignored.
- <string>The secret text string that is shared between the network access serverand the client workstation. This secret string must be the same onboth systems.
This command is now documented as of 12.2(8)T. |

ais-enable |
config-if |
IOS |
IOS version 12.0(7.1) includes a hidden command to enable generation of AIS
alarm on tx line when LOS is detected on rx line. This is a kludge to
workaround other vendor’s ATM switches (Newbridge) that don’t generate
F4/F5 OAM AIS cells when F3 RDI is received. This command is only supported
on the PA-A3 port adapter. The hidden interface command “ais-enable” will
enable AIS alarm assertion when an LOS alarm occurs. |

It’s hidden, and you have to configure “service internal” in order

- <secs-between-runs> is 0-2147483 number of seconds between agerruns, default = 60 seconds. If the period between ager invalidation runs isset to 0, the ager process is disabled entirely.
- <fraction-low-memory> is 2-50 1/<fraction-low-memory> ofcache to age per run (low memory), default = 4.
- <fraction> is 3-100 1/<fraction> of cache to age per run(normal), default = 20.
Configures the ager of the fast switching cache. Aaron Leonard
<Aaron@cisco.com> recommended “20 3 3” on cisco-nas in the
light of recent CodeRed attacks, i.e. make the ager more aggressive

ip ospf interface-retry <retries> |
config-if |
IOS |
From Cisco DE (slightly edited):The motivation for this command is a timing problem where OSPF fails to
determine the state of an interface. The solution was for OSPF to poll the
interface for a while to verify its state. The hidden command allows us to
lengthen the polling period on routers that have a large number of
interfaces. The polls occur every 10 seconds and the command controls the
number of polls that will be done. With a setting of 0 retries there will be
no extra polling.Default number of retries is 10. |

However we have historically refrained from documenting this (CSCdk01634, CSCdz19775) as this has been declared to be a hidden command that “should not be used by customers”. However, in fact this is NOT a hidden command … so I’ve just now gone ahead and reopened CSCdz19775. Introduction The Route Table Profiling feature was developed to assist network engineers in monitoring routing table fluctuations, which may be the result of route flapping, network failure, or network service restoration. This feature was added in CSCdi76662 to the 11.1CC train of Cisco IOS. The Route Table Profiling feature is an undocumented and unsupported feature. There is no MIB support provided. Configuration The Route Table Profiling feature is enabled globally. The command is “ip route profile” in global configuration mode. This feature can be disabled with the command “no ip route profile” in global configuration mode. Routing table change statistics can be viewed with the “show ip route profile” command in exec mode. |

ipx server-split-horizon-on-server-paths |
config |
IOS |
This global configuratiom command specifies that split horizon SAP
occurs on server paths.This command is documented in DDTS CSCdm12190. From the release note:By default, split horizon blocks information about periodic SAPs from being
advertised by a router to the same interface on which the best route to that
SAP is learned. But in the case where the SAP may be learned from
interfaces other than (or in addition to) the interface on which the best
route to that SAP is learned, enabling “ipx
server-split-horizon-on-server-paths” will reduce unnecessary periodic SAP
updates as that SAP will not be advertised to the interface(s) where it was
learned from; this will also prevent potential “SAP loop” in the network. |

From: Dennis Peng <dpeng@cisco.com> To: “scott.list” <scott.list@mlec.net> Cc: cisco-nas@external.cisco.com Message-ID: <20010331195613.D28415@sj-cse-320.cisco.com> I assume you have preauthentication already configured? By default, we send Service-Type = Outbound-User. In 12.1(4)T and later, you can configure the (hidden) command “radius send service-type call-check” to change the value from Outbound-User to Call-Check. I submitted CSCdt85947 to get the command unhidden and documented. Here is the release-note I attached: The command “radius send service-type call-check” is hidden. This command is available in 12.1(4)T and later and is used to change the value of the Service-Type RADIUS attribute the access server sends when doing pre-authentication. The default is to send Outbound-User (5). With this command configured, we will send Call-Check (10). This is useful in a multi-vendor environment as well as when migrating an existing RADIUS database for use withe Cisco access server. |

radius-server unique-ident |
config |
IOS |
Directly from the DDTS release note:The hidden command “radius-server unique-ident” can be used to try to
ensure that RADIUS session IDs are unique across IOS boots. It will have
the side effect of automatically writing the IOS configuration to NVRAM some
time after booting.When the router parses the command “radius-server unique-ident” it sets the
unique-ident variable to (n+1) and all accouting records have a prefix of
(n+1). When you look at the configuration or write the configuration to
NVRAM, it is also shows “radius-server unique-ident”.
If the box is reloaded, upon booting the router will parse “radius-server
unique-ident” and then set the unique-ident variable to (n+2) and all
accounting records have a prefix of (n+2). When you look at the
configuration or write the configuration to NVRAM, is will show
“radius-server unique-ident”. |

service-policy classify-per-feature |
config |
IOS |
From CSCds43683:Packets should be treated consistently on all platforms for a given
configuration. This fix addresses the consistency issue when QoS Mod CLI is
configured via the “service-policy” command on the 7500 vs the other IOS
platforms.After this fix, each packet will be matched for a matching class under the
policy-map until a match is found. Matching terminates at the first matching
class and all features configured under the class act on the packet. In the
current IOS releases, matching happens across all classes under a policy
until the first matching class is found for every configured QoS feature.
To maintain backward compatibility a hidden knob called “service-policy
classify-per-feature” knob is introduced. When configured, the behaviour
reverts to the current existing behaviour. By way of this fix, the default
behaviour will be common for all platforms. This fix is going to affect 7200
and other non-distributed platforms only. |

show controller switch |
exec |
Cat 2900XL/3500XL, IOS |
The show controller switch command provides indicative information regarding
the total switch utilization. An example is presented below:Switch#sh controller switch Switch registers: Device Type : 0x00040273 Congestion Threshold : 0x00000E95 Peak Total Allocation : 0x0000001A Total Allocation : 0x00000000 Peak Total Bandwidth : 0x00000020 Total Bandwidth : 0x00000000 Total Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE Lower Bandwidth Limit : 0x000003DE Switch Mode : 0x00040000 Switch#The Total Bandwidth Limit varies between different 2900XL and 3500XL models.
When the Total Bandwidth reaches the Total Bandwidth Limit value, the switch
has reached its full bandwidth capacity and begins to drop packets. The Peak
Total Bandwidth is the highest value attained by the Total Bandwidth since
the last time the show controller switch command was executed. Note, the
values for the above parameters are in hexadecimal.The Congestion Threshold value is used as conservative value for the maximum
global buffer utilization. When the buffer utilization noted by Total
Allocation reaches this value, the switch may drop frames. The Peak Total
Allocation value shows the highest value attained by the Total Allocation
since the last time the show controller switch command was executed. It is
possible for the Peak Total Allocation and/or the Total Allocation to be
greater than Congestion Threshold. If the Total Allocation reaches or is
over the Congestion Threshold amount, the switch is experiencing
considerable network activity near its full capacity.
The global buffer utilization may be adversely effected by several
configuration issues, described below:
1.Speed mismatch between an ingress and egress port; for example, several
100 megabit clients transferring files to a server connected to the
switch at 10 megabits, half-duplex.
2.Multiple input ports feeding a single output port.
3.Duplex mismatch on multiple ports.
4.Numerous ports that are experiencing collisions and/or output errors due
to half-duplex configuration or over-subscription of a slow link. |

interface (where the device with that MAC resides) and one on each
destination interface (the interface where, based on the destination MAC in
the frame, the traffic sourced from that MAC is destined). This is because
the learning process for populating the bridging tables on the Catalyst

show mbuf |
privileged exec |
XID/CatOS |
Catalyst 5000: The main issue to observe with this command is whether the
switch is being starved for memory. Within the display, “clusters” is the
number of buffers that are available for NMP to process incoming packets,
which include any broadcast/multicast, management traffic. “clfree” is the
number of buffers that are available for the NMP at any given time. If this
is zero then this means that NMP has no buffers to process any incoming
frames. “lowest clfree” determines the lowest watermark that NMP has hit at
any time. If this value is zero but clfree is nonzero, then this means that
at one instance NMP ran out of buffers. This can be because of a broadcast
of a multicast storm in the management VLAN. |

IOS |
Global configuration command can be used to change the priority of SNMP
processes. To avoid extensive polling, the priority should be set to low
. All SNMP queries sent to a router are prioritized as either low or medium
priority, depending on the version of code run by the route processor. This
means that processes with a higher priority than the SNMP process will be
serviced before SNMP. So, regardless of SNMP polling intensity, routing
processes will generally be processed before SNMP requests because route
processes are high priority. |

what do the following values for this command mean:
perform tcp half close [n] send bufflen [8192]: send nbuf [2048] bufalign [16384]: bufoffset [0]: port [5001]: sinkmode [y]: show tcp information at end [n]:Answer:
Half close is regarding the tcp syn-ack; send bufflen is the size of the
packet to be sent; send nbuf is the number of packets sent; bufalign is
create a ”matrix” of sent data in either a linear or non-linear model of
testing throughput and pattern analysis; setoffset is the offset of created
data in the packet; port is the tcp/udp port the data is sent on, and
sinkmode tells the device to ignore other network traffic or not. |

IOS |
Pre-clone specified number of Virtual-Access interfaces. Hidden in 12.1
mainline. Visible in 12.1T.Where <template-num> is the vtemplate number and <num> is
the number of sessions you wish to pre-clone. Please note that with l2tp
[by default], if you choose to pre-clone you are limited to the number of
sessions you pre-cloned. i.e. if you pre-clone 1000 sessions, you cannot
set up more then 1000 sessions for the given virtual-template. |

vpdn ip udp ignore checksum |
config |
IOS |
This command tells the router to ignore the checksum on UDP packets used
by L2TP/L2F and can be used to temporarily reduce CPU load.This probably is per the suggestion in RFC 2661, section 8.1: “The default
for any L2TP implementation is that UDP checksums MUST be enabled for both
control and data messages. An L2TP implementation MAY provide an option to
disable UDP checksums for data messages. It is recommended that UDP
checksums always be enabled on control packets.”And Dennis Peng from Cisco added the following note (on cisco-nas):
Verification of the UDP checksum forces
us into the process switching path which will result in increased CPU
usage. By default, Cisco LAC’s will not set the UDP checksum, so in a
Cisco to Cisco environment, you don’t need this command. But other
vendors may set the UDP checksum, so in a multi-vendor environment, it
is probably a good idea to include it. One big vendor which sets the
UDP checksum is Microsoft, their L2TP client does this. |

vpdn {l2f|l2tp} session table-size <size> |
config |
IOS |
This command sets the number of buckets on the hash table used for looking
up multiplex IDs (session IDs in L2TP speak; both use a 16-bit namespace)
and so finding the session control data structures. Each tunnel has its own
MID lookup table. <size> can range from 16 to 2048 but cannot be greater
than the number L2F/L2TP interfaces available (which is platform dependent).
The default number of buckets is platform dependent. If <size> is not a
power of two it is rounded down to the next power of two.Some performance might be gained by increasing the hash table size and so
reducing the number of collisions at the expense of increased memory usage. |
