3745 Multi VRF with modules ??

Hi,
Please anyone can tell wheather Gig modules are supported on 3745 and if yes then how many? Also please tell which is the Gig module I could not find on cisco.com.
And also do the onboard LAN ports support Multi VRF function ?
Thanks
NK

We use VRFLite with the onboard LAN ports and it works just as expected.

Multi-VRF CE

Hi,
I need to know whether we can use the Cisco 2610 router as Multi-VRF C.E. which will be connected to the Cisco 3745 P.E. router (existing) via 786K Serial Connections.
I need to configure two VRF's (IT & SOM)on the Cisco 2610 (Multi-VRF CE) and Cisco 3745 (P.E.) for the two VPNs.
Can someone please let me know whether this is a workable solutions?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
What is somewhat strange is your statement: "we are using the default encapsulation on the serial interface (i.e. HDLC)".
Multi-VRF is depending on two things. First the control plane is separated, i.e. you have one separate routing context per VRF. Second you need at least a separate interface per VRF. One interface can only belong to one VRF. You can check this with "sh ip vrf interface" or with "show ip route VRF ". If there is no output then your VRF has no interface and thus no BGP session can be established. In other words: a VRF is much like a separate router - unless it has an interface there will be no communication possible.
In your case Frame relay would be the natural choice. An example config with two VRFs could look like this:
ip vrf VRF1
rd 65000:1
ip vrf VRF2
rd 65000:2
interface Serial0/0
no ip address
encapsulation frame-relay
no keepalive
interface Serial0/0.100
ip vrf forwarding VRF1
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci 100
interface Serial0/0.200
ip vrf forwarding VRF1
ip address 10.2.2.1 255.255.255.252
frame-relay interface-dlci 200
router bgp 65000
address-family ipv4 vrf VRF1
neighbor 10.1.1.2 remote-as 65100
no auto-summary
no synchronization
exit-address-family
address-family ipv4 vrf VRF2
neighbor 10.2.2.2 remote-as 65100
no auto-summary
no synchronization
exit-address-family
The IPs, interfaces, AS numbers, additional commands etc. need to be adjusted to your environment.
Hope this helps! Please use the rating system.

Multi-VRF on the same device

Hi, I have a certain design that I am thinking of implementing however need some help to understand the feasability as well as confirm if it is indeed possible to do it. It is sort of like configuring multi-vrf on the same device and leak routes from them into a global routing table. It seems impractical to do it however if I want to limit connectivity between various vlan's on a L3 level without ACL's this seems the better option. Please do correct me if that is not so.
Design
A device which has a number of vlan interfaces on the north side let's say a 6500 configured with a number of vlan's. Each vlan has its own vrf. The SVI interfaces are where I apply the ip vrf forwarding XXX command. This device will be like the PE I assume?
Now I might be running various routing protocols (EIGRP, RIP, Static, BGP) within these vrf's with the devices on the other end that have no idea about vrf's. Since I have a number of routes I have learnt within their own vrf's I want to either export all these routes into the global table or create a global vrf where I can export all these routes.
The reason being that I want to propogate all these routes to the south side. The south side interface of this PE 6500 is physically connected to a firewall via a L3 point-to-point interface. That firewall's south interface in turns connects to another switch.
I am going to form a BGP session with between the Top PE 6500 Switch and the bottom switch and I would like to propogate all the routes that I have in their own individual vrf's on the Top 6500 PE switch to the bottom switch via BGP.
I don't think I can run MP-BGP due to the firewalls being in the physical path. Besides I would like to run a normal BGP IPv4 session between the top and bottom switch to keep it simple and familiar.
The reason I would like to have every vlan in its own vrf is to limit connectivity between the vlan's without configuring ACL's. It provides a bit more security between the VLAN's.
What I am not sure about is how the packet forwarding would work or if it would work at all.
Thx for your help.

Hi Vikram,
Firstly, you mentioned that the reason for going down this path is for security between the different VLANs. Have you looked at Private VLANs as another option?
Certainly leaking routes between different VRFs can be achieved and I would recommend having a 'Shared VRF' that you leak in and out of. Having the Firewall between the PE nodes does present an issue both for BGP as well as LDP peering if you wanted to establish a MP-BGP session. From what you have mentioned above, this solution might over-complicate what you are trying to do.
Are the network ranges in each VLAN also unique?
Can the Firewall run IGP? If so, maybe you could run Private VLANs and the use an IGP to propogate the networks through the FW across to your other switch? If you were to establish a BGP session between the switches each side of the FW, the FW would also need to either become a BGP peer or have IGP enabled. Each BGP node would then need to inject the BGP routes into IGP. If this isnt done, the FW will drop traffic as there would not be a suitable route.
Are the resources through the FW shared or are they also client connected networks?

What target address does IPM select if the target IPSLA device is a multi-VRF CE?

What target address does IPM select if the target IPSLA device is a multi-VRF CE?
With IPM 4.2.1 it is not possible to select the correct target IP address when configuring a collector between two multi-VRF devices. It looks as if the primary management address for the target device is used in the collector configuration which, of course, belongs in a different VRF entirely.

One example, and there may be others, is the (free) DynDNS dynamic DNS service which publishes a domain name for the WAN port of your router which can then be resolved, like all other domain names, to the actual IP address of the WAn port of your router. This service provides a solution to the problem of having a proper domain name in cases where your public IP address changes over time. Unless you pay for a static IP address, virtually all ISPs change your public IP address over time.
So, you can register for a free DynDNS account at www.dyndns.com and that is how you come up with the User: and Password: information; use whatever User and Password you register at dyndns.com with.
The first part of the hostname you can define as you wish, subject only to someone else having used it previously, and the remaining parts of the domain name might be "dyndns.org" or one of the other domain names provided by the DynDNS service. So, you could publish, via DynDNS, the name of your public IP address as, for example, joehlam.dyndns.org however you might want something less descriptive or more vague.

Multi-VRF

Hi.
I intend to understand what a multi-vrf is, but the bottm line is, I don't seem to understand them very well.
I was asked about it and I was surprised that I was not able to find an easy way to explain them.
If you are to explain what a multi-vrf is, how would you do it?
What are the basic ups and downs?
Thanks

Hello Jayson,
a Multi-VRF CE is a device that has multiple VRFs and is shared between different customers and is generally owned and managed by the service provider.
From a technical point of view the multi-VRF CE has a subset of the features of an MPLS PE.
It has the capability to segregate traffic of different customers and to support address overlapping but:
there is no support of MPLS forwarding so there are only VRF access links both to the customer both to the real MPLS PE.
There is no support/need of the MP-BGP for address-family Vpnv4.
The uplink is usually made with an high speed 802.1Q trunk where each vlan carried is mapped to a different VRF/Customer.
The customer benefits are the sharing of the CE device and of the high speed uplink(s).
Scalability is the issue in comparison with a real PE:
a PE with N VRFs can use N+1 interfaces (N access links + 1 MPLS backbone link)
a multi VRF CE with N VRFs needs 2*N interfaces (for each VRF one link towards the customer and one towards the SP PE)
The same is true for the routing relationships: on each VRF a different routing relationship exist with PE (it can be eBGP in VRF or IGP OSPF or EIGRP in VRF) while a real PE has one/two BGP relationships with the RRS and this is enough for all defined VRFs.
Often a Multi-VRF CE is a multilayer switch that can offer high port density at a cheap price.
Hope to help
Giuseppe

Multi-vrf CE/vrf lite Instances

I'm currently looking at deploying vrf lite on our ce's but I'm unable to locate the limitations on how many instances can be run. I realise that the low-end ce's (1700, 2600) the limitation is 5 instances. Is there any other CE related devices that can run more instances, if so, how many and what devices?
Regards
Mark

Hi,
The 5 instances restriction comes from the "Designing MPLS Extensions for Customer Edge Routers" Product bulletin. The following script from that document is:
Conclusions
In order to ensure that their data is kept private while traveling across a Service Providers network, customers are presented many VPN options to suit their needs. This paper has focused on one particular type of VPNs: MPLS-VPNs. A general description was outlined for MPLS-VPNs in order to discuss the new feature in Cisco IOS release 12.2: Multi-VRF CE.
Multi-VRF CE extends limited PE functionality to CE devices by allowing the traditional LAN network behind a CE router to be segmented into separate VRFs. With this feature, the CE router is now able to segment their LAN traffic into a maximum of 5 separate VRFs.
So, I'm not sure whether this is just a standard feature set for all models, or this particular feature has been upgraded to support more vrfs, which as you say, will require the appropriate capacity.
Regards
Mark

Multi-vrf ce and ospf domain-tag

I have configured an mpls vpn between two customer's sites. In every site I have installed two cat35xx with a multi-vrf ce.
I have a multi access ospf neighbour ship to the customer equipments and a bgp session to mpls backbone.
The ospf routes are redistributed on bpg and vice versa.
On ospf process can I use domain-tag to prevent routing loop?
How can i do to verify the domain-tag's functionality in this architecture?
I've tried to configure domain-tag but the ospf database contains all tagged routes but how can i be confident that these routes'll not be announce back to mpls backbone through bgp session between catalyst 35xx and Pe?
Is the the domain-tag functionality supported with vrf-lite?
Thanks in advance

Hi Martin,
I've ospf process running only on catalyst 3550 with vrf-lite, the ospf routes are announced to the PE through bgp session configured between the catalyst 3550 and the PE.
Does the vrf-lite support the same functionalities of native PE-CE ospf in the mpls vpn, as domain-tag?
Thanks in advance

Problem with modules and ModuleLoader

Hi everybody,
i'm facing a real funny problem with modules and
moduleLoader, i hope
it's not (only) my fault anyway...
If i create a normal flex project with fBuilder, i'm able to
use
modules in a lot of different ways (as mxml, as as in a
function etc..)...
but if i try to use them in my fds application (created with
fds
eclipse plugin or as a dataServices project) i can't use
modules. The compile-time error message is
always the same:
Could not resolve <mx:ModuleLoader> to a component
implementation
I tried a lot of solutions, paying attention to import all
the classes, to declaration, naming, positioning
etc...but nothing changes, this thing is drivining me
crazy!!!.
I will appreciate anykind of help.
TIA
Fabio

Any idea?

Multi threadin with VC++

Multi threadin with VC++
I have some problems with multi threading using the provider OraOLEDB.
When I try to execute a CreateCommand for a CCommand<CManualAccessor> in a secondary thread I have a failure inside OraOLEDB.dll.
There is no problem if I use the provider MSDAORA.
I found a property for the OLE DB provider named DBPROP_DSOTHREADMODEL and must be DBPROPVAL_RT_FREETHREAD,
is the provider OraOLEDB FREETHREAD?
Thanks for helping me.

Do I have this right?
You want to start a Java application from the commandline, and this application creates multiple threads.
Each thread executes methods from the ProcessBuilder or Runtime classes, which opens a terminal (cmd) window, starts an external (non-Java) .exe program. The exe writes to the cmd window.
If that's correct, then you need to learn how to create a threaded program, and to use Either the ProcessBuilder or Runtime class.
Here's a how-to on creating threaded (concurrent) Java programs
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html
and here's an article on correct use of the Runtime class
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html

Multi mapping with out BPM

HI ALL ,
I am trying to do multi mapping with out using BPM .I will get message from the sender and i need to send that to two different target system. I have defined the mapping in the IR . In ID i have created the configuration scenario and i have created the receiver determination .In receiver determination i have selected "EXTENDED" and when i select input help for mapping name it says "NO Object found". What else should i do get the mapping program here .
Regards,
Tarun.

Bhavesh,
I'm sorry but if he needs 2 different receivers, then it's not the case of using Enhanced Interface Determination.
sapuser,
if you scenario is asynchronous, then it's easily implemented.
But it won't be achieved with multimapping.
You'll have 2 receivers in receiver determination (normal RD, not enhanced). For each of those, you'll have to create a separate simple mapping (that will generate the message expected at each receiver system) and refer that mapping in the interface determination of each receiver.
For example, you have input_message containing data1 and data 2. You'll have 2 simple mappings (not a multimapping), 1 generating output_message_1 containing data1 and the other generating output_message_2 containing data2. Then refer those mappings in the proper interface determinations.

Henrique.

Problem with module lazy loading in flex 3

Hi every body!
I have some problems with Module lazy loading. I am using flex 3.5, Module-flex3-0.14, parsley 3.2.
I can't get the LazyModuleLoadPolicy working correctly.
In my main application (the one that loads the modules), my parsley context is the following:

            Alert.show("Module Initialized");
        [MessageHandler(scope="local")]
        public function openViewMessageHandler(message:OpenViewMessage):void
            Alert.show("Opening view " + message.viewId + " in the module " + message.moduleId);
If i uncomment the basicLoadPolicy in LazyModulePod.mxml and remove the lazyModuleLoadPolicy, everything works fine. The module is loaded when it's added to stage and it receives correctly messages dispatched to it. But with the lazy policy the module never loads.
I may have missed something or there is somthing i don't understand because i tried the ModuleTest provided in example in cairngorm sources. It works fine (i mean loading the moduleA2 when receiving a message), but if i replace the change the lazyModulePolicy to listen to broadcasted messages instead of a pingMessage, the module never loads too.
    <cairngorm:LazyModuleLoadPolicy objectId="lazyLoadPolicy" type="{ BroadcastMessage }" />
    <cairngorm:ModuleMessageInterceptor
        type="{ BroadcastMessage }" moduleRef="moduleA" />
public class BroadcastMessage
    public function BroadcastMessage()
If someone has any clue, i'll be happy to test it =)
Thanks.

Hello, back on my issue, i tested a little bit more the message dispaching.
I read the lazyLoadPolicy class and noticed that it always has to have a ModuleId property in the message to work, that's why the broadcast message didn't work to awake the module with the lazy loading policy.
So i added copy of my module:
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="test"
          url="TestModule.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
     <cairngorm:ParsleyModuleDescriptor objectId="testbis"
          url="TestModuleBis.swf"
          applicationDomain="{ClassInfo.currentDomain}"
     />
Set them both with a basicLoadPolicy, and tries to dispatch a message to only one of them using the ModuleId metatag. I then noticed that both modules received the message and not only the one i expected.
I then changed the ModuleMessageInterceptor configuration to dispatch to only one kind of module:
<cairngorm:ModuleMessageInterceptor type="{ OpenViewMessage }" moduleRef="test"/>
and this worked as expected. Only the first module catched the message. I am obiously messing with the ModuleId metatag but i cannot see what's wrong...
I compiled with
-keep-as3-metadata+=ModuleId
but this hasn't changed anything...

Debugging JMS adapter with Module Configuration

Hello,
Below is the module configuration in my JMS sender channel:
Check Message          Local Enterprise Bean          key
ConvertJMSMessageToBinary      Local Enterprise Bean      convert_JMS2Bin
ConvertBinaryToXMBMessage     Local Enterprise Bean      convert_Bin2XI
CallSapAdapter                Local Enterprise Bean          call_AF_MS
CheckMessage is a custom module which does some check on the incoming message.
Now what I want to know is at which position should I include the DynamicConfiguration Bean? Should it be included at position 1 or at position 2 or someother position?
~Thanks.
