Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/caseopen

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227) EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55 USA: 1 800 553-2447

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

This chapter describes how to configure the CSS interfaces and circuits and how to bridge interfaces to Virtual LANs (VLANs). Information in this chapter applies to all CSS models, except where noted.

This chapter contains the following major sections:

• Interface and Circuit Overview

• Configuring Interfaces

• Configuring Circuits

• Configuring RIP for an IP Interface

• Configuring the Switched Port Analyzer Feature

Interface and Circuit Overview

The CSS provides Ethernet interfaces (ports) that enable you to connect servers, PCs, routers, and other devices to the CSS.

Using the bridge command, you assign the Ethernet interfaces to a specific VLAN. Each VLAN circuit requires an IP address. Assigning an IP address to each VLAN circuit allows the CSS to route Ethernet interfaces from VLAN to VLAN.

Cisco Content Services Switch Routing and Bridging Configuration Guide

OL-4580-01

1-1

Interface and Circuit Overview

Using the trunk command, you can assign multiple VLANs to a CSS Ethernet interface port (Fast Ethernet port or Gigabit Ethernet port). A trunk is a point-to-point link carrying the traffic of several VLANs. The advantage of a trunk is to save ports by creating a link between two CSSs implementing VLANs. A trunk bundles virtual links over one physical link. The unique physical link between the two CSSs is able to carry traffic for the specified VLANs.

Note The trunk and vlan commands (and the associated software functionality)

comply with the IEEE 802.1Q Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks.

The CSS forwards VLAN circuit traffic to the IP interface. The IP interface passes the traffic to the IP forwarding function where the CSS compares the destination of each packet to information contained in the routing table. Once the CSS resolves the packet addresses, it forwards the packet to the appropriate VLAN and destination port.

With trunking enabled, the CSS automatically inserts a tag in every frame transmitted over the trunk link to identify the originating VLAN. When the VLAN-aware CSS receives the frame, it reviews the VLAN-tagged packet to identify the transmitting VLAN. If the VLAN is recognized, the frame is routed to the proper port and VLAN destination. If the frame is from a VLAN that is not assigned to the trunk port, the packet is ignored. By default, the CSS discards untagged packets.

For an 802.1Q trunk, you can use the default-vlan command to:

Chapter 1 Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

1-2

• Accept packets that arrive untagged on the interface

• Transmit untagged packets

By using this method, the CSS can determine which VLAN transmitted an untagged frame. This capability allows VLAN-aware CSSs and VLAN-unaware CSSs to transmit and receive information on the same cable.

Interface and Circuit Overview

Interface and Circuit Configuration Quick Start

Table 1-1 provides a quick overview of the steps required to configure interfaces

and circuits. Each step includes the CLI command required to complete the task. For a complete description of each feature and all the options associated with the CLI command, see the sections following Tab le 1-1 .

Table 1-1 Interface and Circuit Configuration Quick Start

Task and Command Example

1. Log in to the CSS.

2. Enter configuration mode by typing config.

# config (config)#

3. Enter the interface mode for the interface you wish to configure.

This set of interface commands applies to the CSS 11501.

(config)# interface e1 (config-if[e1])#

1-4

This set of interface commands applies to the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506.

(config)# interface 2/1 (config-if[2/1])#

4. Configure the interface duplex, speed, and flow control (default is

auto-negotiate).

(config-if[2/1])# phy 100Mbits-FD

5. Bridge the interface to a VLAN. All interfaces are assigned to VLAN1 by

default.

(config-if[2/1])# bridge vlan 2

6. (Optional) Enable trunking for a CSS Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port.

(config-if[2/1])# trunk (config-if[2/1])# vlan 2 Create VLAN<2>, [y/n]:y (config-if-vlan[2/1-2])# vlan 3 Create VLAN<3>, [y/n]:y (config-if-vlan[2/1-3])#
