Autoroute Announce is dropping traffic

I'm running 15.3(3)S on a group of three ME3600X switches and I'm having some issues testing autoroute announce. I've built a tunnel from one of my ME3600X switches to a remote router and the tunnel is up and accepts traffic from the local switch:
P2P TUNNELS/LSPs:
TUNNEL NAME                     DESTINATION     UP IF     DOWN IF   STATE/PROT
me3600-4.lab_to_cr3_lab         10.10.8.3     -         Vl100     up/up    
ME3600X-4.lab#ping 10.10.8.3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.8.3, timeout is 2 seconds:

     5 packets output, 520 bytes, 0 underruns
However, as soon as I add 'tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce' to the tunnel configuration, IP traffic to destinations that are preferred through the tunnel drop from anywhere behind this ME3600:

Here's a ping from a switch behind the ingress ME3600:

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.8.11, timeout is 2 seconds:

Traffic is not making it into the tunnel at all, according to the tunnel stats, unless I ping from the ingress ME3600 switch:

Traceroutes show the traffic dying at the ingress switch and packet captures on the upstream link from the ingress switch show no packets, plain IP or otherwise, exiting its upstream interface:

I'm just wondering what it is I'm doing wrong, it has to be something simple. A cluebat upside the head would be much appreciated. Here's the relevant config of the ingress switch:

Looks like the switch 24 is not able to either impose a tag or swap the tag and send out to next hop.
That's what I thought, too, as the traffic is not even leaving the 24 switch, according to packet captures taken between the 24 switch and the 12 router.

3. Are the interfaces from 21 switch is MPLS enabled until 24 or it is like plain IP and then converted to MPLS on 24 switch?
The interface connecting the 21, 22, and 24 switches is an SVI, VLAN4000, and has 'mpls ip' configured on it.  I've tried disabling MPLS on the SVI on each switch with no change.
Thanks for these commands, as some of them are new ones to me that can help me in the future.

  • MPLS TE tunnel autoroute announce metric in SPF computation

    Hi, I have a doubt whether MPLS TE tunnel metric is taking into SPF computation when the tunnel has "autoroute announce" configured.
    From the book "MPLS traffice enginnering" written by Osbourn, IGP SPF computation is always performed before tunnel metric is modified, I found this is only true if IGP is ISIS, but if IGP is OSPF, tunnel metric specified by "autoroute metric" will always be taken into SPF computation, a.k.a, if tunnel metric is configured to be less than underlying IGP metric, a suboptimal routing will always happen to destination routers that are in between tunnel head and tunnel tail.
    Any idea why there is a inconsistent behavior between OSPF and ISIS SPF computation? or I missed anything?

    Hi,
    You're right. There is a different behavior between OSPF and ISIS on how they handle the autoroute metric feature.
    ISIS: TE tunnel metric is not taken into account during SPF computation.
    OSPF: TE tunnel metric is taken into account during SPF computation.
    So playing with this feature can change the SPT if your IGP is OSPF.
    The difference seems coming from the SPF implementation of OSPF and ISIS

  • Wireless Bridge dropping traffic

    Hi,
    We have 2 x AIR-BR1310 setup with a point to point bridge between 2 offices, see below.
    Office2---Bridge2------Bridge1---Office1
    At random periods of the day the link drops and office1 is unable to contact office2. Upon further inspection the Bridges report that the wireless association is still active and this is confirmed as Bridge1 can still ping the BVI interface on Bridge2.
    I telneted to the console on Bridge2 and attempted to ping hosts in Office2, all ping attempts failed. The BVI and Fastethernet interfaces on Bridge2 are both up and there are no errors on the interfaces.
    To resolve the issue we have to perform a hard reboot on Bridge2, as soon as the bridge comes back up traffic passes as normal. We have tried rebooting the switches and Bridge1 but the network still drops traffic, its only when Bridge2 is rebooted that operation returns to normal.
    Any ideas?

    If the bridge link stays up, and you can get to the BVI interface, then this isn't a wireless problem. The problem should be on the other side of the radio interface.
    What do you have installed on the other side? Does the bridge connect directly to a switch? Can Bridge 2 ping its default-gateway?

  • SFR drops traffic when policy is out-of-date?

    Hi,
    We are evaluating a 5515X with FireSIGHT.
    I am routing a few guest networks through the lab ASA but are experiencing some strangeness :)
    Three times it has suddenly started dropping traffic, and I really can't pinpoint the reason..
    The things that I have noticed when I get the warning from our support staff, is that there are policies out-of-date on the ASA. (See att. img policy_out-of-date.png). And the when I apply the policies the traffic starts again..
    And when I look at the logs from the ASA the thing thats sticks out is the sudden spike of SYN Timeouts (See att. img syn_timouts.png).
    I have "Inspect traffic during policy apply = Yes", and I have read that this could stop the traffic "when applying" the policy. But should that really block traffic when the policy is out-of-date?
    Do you guys have any idea whats happening here, or noticed anything like this before?
    Is there a log that shows why the policy gets out-of-date?
    Regards Falk

    As far as getting the package in the repo updated as mentioned above it all depends on the maintainer for that particular package. What you can do to help is go to the homepage, search for the package and flag it as out of date. FYI this has already been done for mythtv.
    To upgrade on your own the best way to do it is start from the same PKGBUILD that is used to build the official package through abs. You can find all the info you need on the wiki page.
    Typically the PKGBUILDs in the AUR have some different functionality from the main version in the repo, and aren't usually what you are looking for if all you want is a version bump.
    It is usually best to remove your installed version before using a version from AUR. Most AUR PKGBUILDs will have conflicts (and provides) for other versions of the same package and thus pacman will give an error when trying to install it. If you are just bumping the version of the same package you will not need to remove it first.
    EDIT: You can use pacman -Rd to remove (and replace) a package if others depend on it.

  • AVC not dropping traffic

    Hello,
    I've got a cisco WLC 2504 with the latest firmware. And created an AVC profile to drop Whatsapp and Facebook traffic.
    I added this to the WLAN I configurerd, but the traffic doesn't get dropped with cell phones.
    If I've a cell phone which has the apps (whatsapp and Facebook) installed, AVC wont drop te traffic.
    It does drop the traffic if I use a browser to go to Facebook. Is this some kind of bugg?
    Regards,
    Tom

    Unfortunately you have to wait for the next release of software code (not sure when 8.0MR1 comes it will have the updated protocol pack),.
    Even if it is a bug, without updating these AVC signatures, I do not think you can fix it. Here is the release not confirming this
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/nbar2_prot_pack/11-0-0/b-nbar2-prot-pack-1100/b-nbar2-prot-pack-1100_chapter_010101.html#wp2108825774
    Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR2) Protocol Pack 11.0.0 support is provided for Cisco Wireless LAN Controller platforms, starting with the 8.0 release.
    NBAR2 Protocol Pack 11.0.0 is supported on the following Cisco Wireless LAN Controller platforms:
     Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller
     Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless Controllers
     Cisco 8510 Wireless Controller
     Cisco Wireless Services Module 2 (WiSM2)
    Note
     Cisco Wireless LAN Controller software release 8.0, uses NBAR engine 16, and contains NBAR2 Protocol Pack 9.0.0 built-in. For more information on software releases and compatible protocol packs, see Working with Protocol Packs.
     Though the NBAR2 protocol library and the protocol signatures support IPv6 traffic classification, Cisco Wireless LAN Controller platforms currently support only IPv4 traffic classification.
     The Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller supports Application Visibility and Control, but supports only built-in protocol packs present in Wireless LAN Controller software releases. It does not support downloading and installing protocol packs.

  • Router Dropping Traffic

    Hi Everyone.
    I am working at a site that has a Cisco router that is setup to connect the LAN to the internet. The client runs a VoIP service hosted by the provider. We have noticed packets are dropping. Calls connect but there isn't two-way flow, you can't hear the party at the other end. I wanted to drop this at the feet of the VoIP provider but then I did a sh ip cache flow on the router and this is what I noticed.
    SrcIf         SrcIPaddress    DstIf         DstIPaddress    Pr SrcP DstP  Pkts
    Gi0/1         172.30.0.136    Null          xx.xxx.32.89    01 0000 0800   922
    All the  time traffic to the provider's server, xx.xxx.32.89 is always sent to the Null interface instead of the G0/0.
    I don't know if this has a bearing on the problem, but when I connected a Linksys router, we did not have this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello
    Are you using quality of service on the cisoc router or on the lan switch?
    do you know what your ISP making for voice should be?
    Has any changes been made to your network and if so has this problem occurred since that change !

  • Randomly Dropping Traffic - Bad Tech Support - Should I Switch ISP?

    Summary
    I replaced the Verizon router with a Cisco router that support being an IPSec VPN Tunnel end-point. I switched from the coax to the Ethernet port on the ONT as the router doesn't have a coax port. Next I configured the IPSec Tunnel on the router, and I was a happy camper because I now have access to the company LAN.
    [Fast forward a week.]
    Phone calls started sounding choppy so I investigated. It now seems like there is a ~15% packet loss for VPN traffic. How did that happen? I spent 2 full days triaging the issue ... I'll spare the details ... and I narrowed down the packet drops to somewhere between the local Verizon ONT and the remote site modem.
    As a test, I temporarily switch my Internet connection to my handy iPhone 4 hotspot (thanks AT&T  )
    To my surprise ... no packet loss. So that narrows it down to the ONT and the Verizon network. So I contacted tech support and wasted almost an hour with someone who was absolutely no help. To top it off, he tried to sell me on some Expert Care package -- apparently he himself is neither an expert nor does he care -- for me to get my service issues resolved.
    Now the question for me is, should I continue struggling with this subpar support service, or should I switch to another more helpful ISP?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Physical Connections:
    PC----[Router A]--(Ethernet Port)[ONT]===={{{{Verizon Cloud}}}}==={{{{Time Warner Cloud}}}}====[Modem]----[Router B]
    The central VPN point is Router B.
    Router A is a remote VPN client. Alternatively, if VPN is disabled on the router, the PC behind Router A can also connect with a software VPN client.
    No.
    The configuration is fine.
    The IPSec tunnel gets established.
    The VPN has worked fine for two weeks.
    Starting yesterday, random IPSec encapsulated packets from Router A to Router B are getting dropped.
    ~30% packet loss.
    This happens with either the PC or Router A as VPN client.
    (Please note that Router A is not the Verizon supplied Router.)
    Also, pings from Router A to Router B outside the VPN tunnel have 100% success rate.
    I narrowed down the packet drop to somewhere from the ONT to maybe the Verizon clould (packet filtering or inspection?).
    Can you reload the ONT?
    Thanks.
    Will do.
    Done.
    There only is a 3rd party router.
    There is no Verizon supplied router.

    Customer network consists of two LANs, each routed from an 892.  The 892s are connected by a Gig fiber path, and there's an IPSec VPN between the 892s.  All traffic from one LAN to the other traverses the VPN.  Site 1 has a Lenel video server with a bunch of cameras streaming video to it.  Site 1 and Site 2 each have a Win7 PC with some Lenel software that receives video streams retransmitted from the video server at Site 1.  The video server streams the video as UDP.   The client PC at Site1 receives all the video streams from the server just fine.  The client PC at Site 2 does not reliably receive the video streams from the server at Site 1.  Streams from *some* cameras are received fine, but not others.  Looking at Wireshark captures taken at Site 1, it looks like most of the UDP traffic is fragmented.
    Anyone else out there have anything remotely like this setup, and any notions of where to go looking for why Site 2's got such issues?
    I'm afraid I'm somewhat constrained by all sorts of legal and bureaucratic restrictions on exactly what configuration and sample data I can include in this discussion, which would make me laugh if it wasn't so frustrating (this is a network of security cameras around a sensitive research facility).

    Hi Julio,
    Everything seems to be ok in this access list. I think this is a routing issue. It is just does not know where to send the packet back or where to reply.

  • How traffic is directed in MPLS network? Via ldp LSPs or via RSVP LSPs

    My question is basicly to understand how traffic is treated.
    Lets assume our topology is :
    A-----------------------------B------------------------------------C--------------------------------------------D
    1-) if we just enable MPLS under all interfaces, LDP labels are exchanged with each peer. At that moment   RIB, LIB, FIB and LFIB are created on all routers. So LDP LSPs are created dynamicly. but  If i ping "loopback D"  from router A, there will be IP routing or LABEL switching.  will routing make routing by looking IP address at each hop or labels will be swapped at each hop ?
    2-) If we enable MPLS traffic engineering capability and create a tunnel interface between router A and router D, vice versa. At that moment, Router A will have :
    -simple IGP reachability to Router D,
    -Dynamic LDP LSP  and
    -RSVP tunnel.
    what about now, Which one of the paths above  my traffic will follow ? do I have to direct my traffic to tunnel interface signaled via RSVP. Is there any precedence for choosing the path that traffic will be addressed ?

    for second secenario, i have found that I have to write
    "tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce " other wise traffic will always follow LDP signaled paths. In order to get all traffic inside "tunnel" we should execute that command.  once you write that command you see that ;
    Before executing command;
    R1#sh ip route
    O       3.3.3.3 [110/129] via 3.3.3.3, 00:07:08, serial0/0
    R1#show mpls forwarding-table
    18     18          3.3.3.3/32        0          Se0/0      point2point
    After executing command;
    R1#sh ip route
    O       3.3.3.3 [110/129] via 3.3.3.3, 00:07:08, Tunnel0
    R1#show mpls forwarding-table
    18     Pop tag [T] 3.3.3.3/32        0          Tu0        point2point 
    Hope you see my point, router doesnt decide to use RSVP signaled LSP itself, we shoud trig router to use RSVP signalled LSP.

  • Tunnel mpls traffic-eng dynamic reoptimization issue

    we have a dynamic tunnel, when the LSP switches to a suboptimal path due to failure on the optimal path it does not switch back to the optimal path once the path is restored.
    How do we enable automatic reoptimization plus a threshold setting re = 5 seconds
    interface Tunnel0
    description test
    ip unnumbered Loopback0
    tunnel destination 211.1.219.6
    tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 10 dynamic

    If you do a "show mpls traffic-eng tunnels brief" you will see that the default periodic optimization is set to 1 hour (3600 seconds).
    You can use the following command to change this default timer:
    mpls traffic-eng reoptimize timers frequency
    For more information on this command, please see this URL:

  • Xconnect TE Problem

    Hi ... we have xconnect problem between our PE-Router when we apply TE on this xconnect. The xconnect is between Cisco 7600 (s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SRA3.bin) and Cisco 7206 NPEG2 (c7200p-advipservicesk9-mz.124-11.T3.bin). The problem is xconnect from 7600 to 7206 is up, but xconnect from 7206 to 7600 is down. We have try to test this TE xconnect to different PE, but still got same symptom. There's no problem if we don't apply TE on this xconnect.
    The path from TE is:
    PE(7606) - P(7606) - PE(7206). The TE path between 7606 to 7206 and 7206 to 7606 is via same physical path.

  • MPLS-TE Tunnel (FRR) Issue

    Hi
    Need some discussion on MPLS - TE tunnel issue.
    One of Tunnel with FRR configured, creates problem after a while affects the traffic running on the link until I shut the tunnel manually.
    Configs are ok because same configurations made for different cities to authenticate to a AAA server located in one of city.
    following is the generic diagram and complete config for respective links in all 3 cities but the tunnel on link highlighted with RED arrow creates problem after a while not at once until I shut the tunnel,
    The Platform is Cisco CISCO7609-S and all links are on 7600-SIP-400 module

    Hi,
    Issue was figured out, the traffic was dropping dut to EF tagged traffic in the service policy applied under the physical interface.
    The limit of EF tagged traffic was defined less as per actual traffic which was causing drop in peak hours

  • MPLS TE load-balancing --- CEF Problem

    Dears
    Would like your assistance please regarding below issue
    We are having 5 TE tunnels going to same destination and we are doing load-balancing between these 5 LSPs TE tunnels.
    Command "mls ip cef load-sharing full simple" is configured so that CEF will use L4 ports in its algorithm
    Problem that due to CEF behavior, 2 link are v.highly utilized and the other 3 utilization are below average
    What I am thinking of but not sure If this will help or not is to have 2 TE tunnels instead of 5
    1 TE tunnel load balancing on 3 links ( This can be done by using static route to tail loopback poiting to the 3 links) and another TE tunnel load balancing on the other 2 links
    By doing this, I think CEF would be used 2 times; first to determine which TE tunnel to use then to determine which link within the tunnel
    Will this help ?
    For example
    interface Tunnel1
    ip unnumbered Loopback0
    mpls ip
    tunnel destination 10.0.0.1
    tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1 dynamic
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng fast-reroute
    ip route 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 link-1
    ip route 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 link-2
    ip route 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 link-3

    Hello Sherif,
    traffic of a single TE tunnel will not be load balanced over multiple physical links as the TE tunnel is setup using a reservation and the path will use only one link for each router hop.
    So moving to two TE tunnels is not an option for you.
    Hope to help
    Giuseppe

  • Fast-Reroute on a ring with Gig Interface

    Hi,
    I'm trying to setup a fast-reroute option on a 4 routers ring connected through gige with OSPF.
    The main idea is to be able to use xconnect between A & B for normal route with a backup through C & D in case of Gig failure AB.
    I created two tunnel as follow on A
    interface Tunnel50
    ip unnumbered Loopback0
    tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
    tunnel destination b.b.b.b
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority 2 2
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1 explicit name b-fast
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng fast-reroute node-protect
    interface Tunnel51
    ip unnumbered Loopback0
    tunnel mode mpls traffic-eng
    tunnel destination b.b.b.
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority 5 5
    tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 10 explicit name b-low
    and configure A to B interfaces with
    mpls traffic-eng backup-path Tunnel51
    ip rsvp bandwidth
    router ospf
    mpls traffic-eng router-id Loopback0
    mpls traffic-eng area 0
    Same kind of conf on B side...
    Well, if I shutdown A to B interface, the fast-reroute doesn't seems to operate and the xconnect resume on a ospf convergence base latency.
    Should I also create tunnel A-C, A-D, B-C, B-D, ... like a full mesh ? or point to point on a ring AB, BC, CD, DA ?
    Thanks for your help.
