Static Rule Type The type of local address requiring translation by this static rule:

• Static Host—A single host requiring static address translation.

• Static Network—A subnet requiring static address translation.

• Static Port—A single port requiring static address translation. If you

select this option, you must define port redirection parameters.

Original Address Enter an address or the name of a network/host object, or click Select to

display an Object Selectors, page F-593.

• When Static Network is selected as the Static Rule Type, this field

defines the network address and subnet mask. For example, if you want
to create n-to-n mappings between the private addresses in a subnet to
corresponding inside global addresses, enter the address of the subnet
you want translated, and then enter the network mask in the Mask field.

K-8

• When Static Port or Static Host is selected as the Static Rule Type, this

field defines the IP address only. For example, if you want to create a
one-to-one mapping for a single host, enter the IP address of the host to
translate. Do not enter a subnet mask in the Mask field.

If the network or host you want is not listed, click the Create button in the
selector to display the Network/Host Dialog Box, page F-477. From here
you can define a network/host object.

Note We recommend not entering a local address belonging to this router,

as it could cause Security Manager management traffic to be
translated. Translating this traffic will cause a loss of communication
between the router and Security Manager.

If you selected Static Port or Static Host as the static rule type (to
create a one-to-one mapping between a single inside local address
and a single inside global address), enter the global address in this
field. A subnet mask is not required.

–

If you selected Static Network as the static rule type (to map the
original, local addresses of a subnet to the corresponding global
addresses), enter the IP address that you want to use in the
translation in this field. The network mask is taken automatically
from the mask entered in the Original Address field.

If the network or host you want is not listed, click the Create button in the
selector to display the Network/Host Dialog Box, page F-477. From here
you can define a network/host object.

Port Redirection Applies only when Static Port is the selected static rule type.

Redirect Port—When selected, specifies port information for the inside
device in the translation. This enables you to use the same public IP address
for multiple devices as long as the port specified for each device is different.
Enter information in the following fields:

• Protocol—The protocol type: TCP or UDP.

• Local Port—The port number on the source network. Valid values range

from 1 to 65535.

• Global Port—The port number on the destination network that the router

is to use for this translation. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.

Advanced Applies only when using the Translated IP option for address translation.

Defines advanced options:

• No Alias—When selected, prohibits an alias from being created for the

global address.

The alias option is used to answer Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
requests for global addresses that are allocated by NAT. You can disable
this feature for static entries by selecting the No alias check box.

When deselected, global address aliases are permitted.

• No Payload—When selected, prohibits an embedded address or port in

the payload from being translated.

The payload option performs NAT between devices on overlapping
networks that share the same IP address. When an outside device sends
a DNS query to reach an inside device, the local address inside the
payload of the DNS reply is translated to a global address according to
the relevant NAT rule. You can disable this feature by selecting the No
payload check box.

When deselected, embedded addresses and ports in the payload may be
translated, as described above.

• Create Extended Translation Entry—When selected, creates an

extended translation entry (addresses and ports). This enables you to
associate multiple global addresses with a single local address. This is
the default.

When deselected, creates a simple translation entry that allows you to
associate a single global address with the local address.

Do Not Translate VPN
Traffic (Site-to-Site
VPN only)

This setting applies only in situations where the NAT ACL overlaps the
crypto ACL used by the site-to-site VPN. Because the interface performs
NAT first, any traffic arriving from an address within this overlap would get
translated, causing the traffic to be sent unencrypted. Leaving this check box
selected prevents that from happening.

When selected, address translation is not performed on VPN traffic.

When deselected, the router performs address translation on VPN traffic in
cases of overlapping addresses between the NAT ACL and the crypto ACL.

Note We recommend that you leave this check box selected, even when

performing NAT into IPsec, as this setting does not interfere with the
translation that is performed to avoid a clash between two networks
sharing the same set of internal addresses.

Note This option does not apply to remote access VPNs.

device to which you connect this interface is also set to automatically
negotiate the transmission mode. Otherwise, select the appropriate
fixed mode.

Note You can configure a duplex value only if you set the Speed to a fixed

speed, not Auto.

Note This setting does not apply to serial, HSSI, ATM, PRI, DSL, tunnel,

or loopback interfaces.

Speed Applies only to Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

The speed of the interface:

• 10—10 megabits per second (10Base-T networks).

• 100—100 megabits per second (100Base-T networks). This is the

default for Fast Ethernet interfaces.

• 1000—1000 megabits per second (Gigabit Ethernet networks). This is

the default for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

• Auto—The router automatically detects and sets appropriate interface

speed.

Note When using Auto mode, be sure that the port on the active network

device to which you connect this interface is also set to automatically
negotiate the transmission speed. Otherwise, select the appropriate
fixed speed.

MTU The maximum transmission unit, which refers to the maximum packet size,

in bytes, that this interface can handle.

Valid values for serial, Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet interfaces range from 64
to 17940 bytes.

Valid values for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces range from 1500 to 9216 bytes.

Encapsulation The type of encapsulation performed by the interface:

• None—No encapsulation.

• DOT1Q—VLAN encapsulation, as defined by the IEEE 802.1Q

standard. Applies only to Ethernet subinterfaces.

• Frame Relay—IETF Frame Relay encapsulation. Applies only to serial

interfaces (not serial subinterfaces).

Note IETF Frame Relay encapsulation provides interoperability between

a Cisco IOS router and equipment from other vendors. To configure
Cisco Frame Relay encapsulation, use CLI commands or
FlexConfigs.

K-22

OL-16066-01

Appendix K Router Platform User Interface Reference

Router Interfaces Page

Table K-10 Create Router Interface Dialog Box (Continued)

VLAN ID Applies only to subinterfaces with encapsulation type DOT1Q.

The VLAN ID associated with this subinterface. The VLAN ID specifies
where 802.1Q tagged packets are sent and received on this subinterface;
without a VLAN ID, the subinterface cannot send or receive traffic. Valid
values range from 1 to 4094.

Note All VLAN IDs must be unique among all subinterfaces configured

on the same physical interface.

Tip To configure DOT1Q encapsulation on an Ethernet interface without

associating the VLAN with a subinterface, enter the vlan-id dot1q
command using CLI commands or FlexConfigs. See Understanding

FlexConfig Objects, page 9-52. Configuring VLANs on the main

interface increases the number of VLANs that can be configured on
the router.

Native VLAN Applies only when the encapsulation type is DOT1Q and you are configuring

a physical interface that is meant to serve as an 802.1Q trunk interface.
Trunking is a way to carry traffic from several VLANs over a point-to-point
link between two devices.

When selected, the Native VLAN is associated with this interface, using the
ID specified in the VLAN ID field. (If no VLAN ID is specified for the
Native VLAN, the default is 1.) The native VLAN is the VLAN to which all
untagged VLAN packets are logically assigned by default. This includes the
management traffic associated with the VLAN. If no VLAN ID is defined,
the default is 1.

OL-16066-01

For example, if the VLAN ID of this interface is 1, all incoming untagged
packets and packets with VLAN ID 1 are received on the main interface and
not on a subinterface. Packets sent from the main interface are transmitted
without an 802.1Q tag.

When deselected, the Native VLAN is not associated with this interface.

Note The Native VLAN cannot be configured on a subinterface of the

trunk interface. Be sure to configure the same Native VLAN value at
both ends of the link; otherwise, traffic may be lost or sent to the
wrong VLAN.

Note The value you define in this field is an informational parameter only;

it does not affect the physical interface.

Load Interval The length of time, in seconds, used to calculate the average load on the

interface. Valid values range from 30 to 600 seconds, in multiples of 30
seconds. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Modify the default to shorten the length of time over which load averages are
computed. You can do this if you want load computations to be more reactive
to short bursts of traffic.

K-28

Load data is gathered every 5 seconds. This data is used to compute load
statistics, including input/output rate in bits and packets per second, load,
and reliability. Load data is computed using a weighted-average calculation
in which recent load data has more weight in the computation than older load
data.

Tip You can use this option to increase or decrease the likelihood of

activating a backup interface; for example, a backup dial interface
may be triggered by a sudden spike in the load on an active interface.

Note Load interval is not supported on subinterfaces.

TCP Maximum
Segment Size

The maximum segment size (MSS) of TCP SYN packets that pass through
this interface. Valid values range from 500 to 1460 bytes. If you do not
specify a value, the MSS is determined by the originating host.

This option helps prevent TCP sessions from being dropped as they pass
through the router. Use this option when the ICMP messages that perform
auto-negotiation of TCP frame size are blocked (for example, by a firewall).
We highly recommend using this option on the tunnel interfaces of DMVPN
networks.

For more information, see TCP MSS Adjustment at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1839/products_featur
e_guide09186a00804247fc.html

Note Typically, the optimum MSS is 1452 bytes. This value plus the

20-byte IP header, the 20-byte TCP header, and the 8-byte PPPoE
header add up to a 1500-byte packet that matches the MTU size for
the Ethernet link.

of the packet to remove it from the route and substitute a different device that
offers a more direct path to the destination.

When selected, enables the sending of ICMP unreachable messages. This is
the default.

When deselected, disables unreachable messages.

Unreachable messages are sent in two circumstances:

• If the interface receives a nonbroadcast packet destined for itself that

uses an unknown protocol. In this case, it sends an ICMP unreachable
message to the source.

• If the device receives a packet that it cannot deliver to its ultimate

destination because it knows of no route to the destination address. In
this case, it sends an ICMP host unreachable message to the originator
of the packet.

Enable Directed
Broadcasts

When selected, directed broadcast packets are “exploded” as a link-layer
broadcast when this interface is directly connected to the destination subnet.

When deselected, directed broadcast packets that are intended for the subnet
to which this interface is directly connected are dropped rather than being
broadcast. This is the default.

An IP directed broadcast is an IP packet whose destination address is a valid
broadcast address on a different subnet from the node on which it originated.
In such cases, the packet is forwarded as if it was a unicast packet until it
reaches its destination subnet.

This option affects only the final transmission of the directed broadcast on
its destination subnet; it does not affect the transit unicast routing of IP
directed broadcasts.

Note Because directed broadcasts, and particularly ICMP directed

broadcasts, have been abused by malicious persons, we recommend
deselecting this option on interfaces where directed broadcasts are
not needed.

ACL Applies only when directed broadcasts are enabled.

The standard access list that determines which directed broadcasts are
permitted to be broadcast on the destination subnet. All other directed
broadcasts destined for the subnet to which this interface is directly
connected are dropped. Enter the name of an ACL object, or click Select to

Element Description

PVC ID settings

VPI The virtual path identifier of the PVC. In conjunction with the VCI,

identifies the next destination of a cell as it passes through a series of ATM
switches on the way to its destination. Valid values for most platforms range
from 0 to 255.

For Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series routers using Inverse Multiplexing for ATM
(IMA), valid values range from 0 to 15, 64 to 79, 128 to 143, and 192 to 207.

Note VPI/VCI values must be unique for all the PVCs configured on a

selected interface. VPI/VCI values are unique to a single link only
and might change as cells traverse the ATM network.

VCI The 16-bit virtual channel identifier of the PVC. In conjunction with the

VPI, identifies the next destination of a cell as it passes through a series of
ATM switches on the way to its destination. Valid values vary by platform.
Typically, values up to 31 are reserved for special traffic (such as ILMI) and
should not be used. 3 and 4 are invalid.

Note VPI/VCI values must be unique for all the PVCs configured on a

selected interface. VPI/VCI values are unique to a single link only
and might change as cells traverse the ATM network.

Handle An optional name to identify the PVC. The maximum length is 15

characters.

Management PVC
(ILMI)

Does not apply when configuring the PVC on a subinterface.

When selected, designates this PVC as the management PVC for this ATM
interface by enabling communication with the Interim Local Management
Interface (ILMI). ILMI is a protocol defined by the ATM Forum for setting
and capturing physical layer, ATM layer, virtual path, and virtual circuit
parameters on ATM interfaces. See Understanding ILMI, page 15-50.

When deselected, this PVC does not act as the management PVC. This is the
default.

Note The VPI/VCI for the management PVC is typically set to 0/16.

variable bit rate (VBR) traffic, which can be either realtime (VBR-RT)
or non-realtime (VBR-NRT).

• aal5autoppp—Enables the router to distinguish between incoming PPP

over ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) sessions and create
virtual access for both PPP types based on demand.

• aal5ciscoppp—For the proprietary Cisco version of PPP over ATM.

• aal5mux—Enables you to dedicate the PVC to a single protocol, as

defined in the Protocol field.

• aal5nlpid—Enables ATM interfaces to work with High-Speed Serial

Interfaces (HSSI) that are using an ATM data service unit (ADSU) and
running ATM-Data Exchange Interface (DXI).

• aal5snap—Supports Inverse ARP and incorporates the Logical Link

Control/Subnetwork Access Protocol (LLC/SNAP) that precedes the
protocol datagram. This allows multiple protocols to traverse the same
PVC.

Traffic Shaping settings

Traffic Shaping The type of service to define on the PVC:

• [null]—The bit rate is not defined.

• ABR—Available Bit Rate. A best-effort service suitable for applications

that do not require guarantees against cell loss or delays.

• CBR—Constant Bit Rate service. Delay-sensitive data, such as voice or

video, is sent at a fixed rate, providing a service similar to a leased line.

• UBR—Unspecified Bit Rate service. A best-effort service suitable for

applications that are tolerant to delay and do not require realtime
responses.

• UBR+—Unspecified Bit Rate service. Unlike UBR, UBR+ attempts to

maintain a guaranteed minimum rate.

• VBR-NRT—Variable Bit Rate - Non-Real Time service. A service

suitable for non-realtime applications that are bursty in nature. VBR is
more efficient than CBR and more reliable than UBR.

PVC Policy Page

• VBR-RT—Variable Bit Rate - Real Time service. A service suitable for

realtime applications that are bursty in nature.

For more information about each service class, see Understanding ATM

Service Classes, page 15-48.

ABR The following fields are displayed when ABR is selected as the Bit Rate:

• PCR—The peak cell rate in kilobits per second (kbps). It specifies the

maximum value of the ABR.

• MCR—The minimum cell rate in kilobits per second (kbps). It specifies

the minimum value of the ABR.

The ABR varies between the MCR and the PCR. It is dynamically controlled
using congestion control mechanisms.

CBR The following field is displayed when CBR is selected as the Bit Rate:

• Rate—The constant bit rate (also known as the average cell rate) for the

PVC in kilobits per second (kbps). An ATM VC configured for CBR can
send cells at this rate for as long as required.

• PCR—The peak cell rate for output in kilobits per second (kbps). Cells

in excess of the PCR may be discarded.

UBR+ The following fields are displayed when UBR+ is selected as the Bit Rate:

• PCR—The peak cell rate for output in kilobits per second (kbps). Cells

in excess of the PCR may be discarded.

• MCR—The minimum guaranteed cell rate for output in kilobits per

second (kbps). Traffic is always allowed to be sent at this rate.

Note UBR+ requires Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(2)XA or later, or

version 12.4(6)T or later.

VBR-NRT The following fields are displayed when VBR-NRT is selected as the Bit

Rate:

• PCR—The peak cell rate for output in kilobits per second (kbps). Cells

in excess of the PCR may be discarded.

• SCR—The sustained cell rate for output in kilobits per second (kbps).

This value, which must be lower than or equal to the PCR, represents the
maximum rate at which cells can be transmitted without incurring data
loss.

• MBS—The maximum burst cell size for output. This value represents

the number of cells that can be transmitted above the SCR but below the
PCR without penalty.

VBR-RT The following fields are displayed when VBR-RT is selected as the Bit Rate:

• Peak Rate—The peak information rate for realtime traffic in kilobits per

second (kbps).

• Average Rate—The average information rate for realtime traffic in

kilobits per second (kbps). This value must be lower than or equal to the
peak rate.

• Burst—The burst size for realtime traffic, in number of cells. Configure

this value if the PVC carries bursty traffic.

These values configure traffic shaping between realtime traffic (such as
voice and video) and data traffic to ensure that the carrier does not discard
realtime traffic, for example, voice calls.

Element Description

Enable Secret Password The enable secret password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the

router. This option offers better security than the Enable Password option.

The enable secret password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric
characters. The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but
leading spaces are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.

Note You can discover an encrypted password, but any password you enter

must be in clear text. If you modify an encrypted password, it is
saved as clear text.

Note After you set an enable secret password, you can switch to an enable

password only if the enable secret is disabled or an older version of
Cisco IOS software is being used, such as when running an older
rxboot image.

Enable Password The enable password for entering privileged EXEC mode on the router.

The enable password can contain between 1-25 alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be a letter. Spaces are allowed, but leading spaces
are ignored. Question marks are also allowed.

Note You must enter the password in clear text.

Enable Password
Encryption Service

When selected, encrypts all passwords on the device, including the enable
password (which is otherwise saved in clear text).

For example, use this option to encrypt username passwords, authentication
key passwords, console and VTY line access passwords, and BGP neighbor
passwords. This command is primarily used for keeping unauthorized
individuals from viewing your passwords in your configuration file.

When deselected, device passwords are stored unencrypted in the
configuration file.

Note This option does not provide a high level of network security. You

should also take additional network security measures.

User Account Dialog Box

Employ the User Account dialog box to define a username and password
combination that can be used by Security Manager to access the router. You can
also define the privilege level of the user account, which determines whether you
can configure all commands on this router or only a subset of them.

Note Remember—there may be additional user accounts defined on the router using

other methods, such as the CLI.
