Chapter 8 Configuring IP Interfaces and Addresses : IP Configuration Commands

IP Configuration Commands
This section describes the commands you can use to specify address settings and configurations for the IP interfaces on the P-7500 system.
interface
To configure ethernet or LAG parameters for physical interfaces on P-7500 systems, on an interface by interface basis, you must first go to the Interface CONFIG level. You reach this level by entering create interface <phy-interface> at the Global CONFIG level to create the physical interface instance (or interface <phy-interface> if it already exists), where:
<phy-interface> is an ASCII string specifying the ethernet interface port or LAG to be configured. Valid values are eth<port> (for example, eth2); <cartridge>/<slot>/<port> (for example, 1/1/8); <cartridge>/<slot>/lag<N> (for example, 1/1/lag1). There is no default value.
Note: Only a single LAG numbered 1 is supported. A LAG can not be deleted if IP interfaces reference it, and a LAG can not be created on a slot which does not contain a NAB.
Example:
tibco# configure
tibco(config)# create interface 1/1/lag1
tibco(config-interface)#
The CLI is now at the Interface CONFIG level for LAG 1 on a P-7500 system, and you can use these CLI commands to configure port parameters for this physical interface:
member
To add physical interface members (that is, NAB ports) to a LAG on a member by member basis, enter the member Interface CONFIG command:
tibco(config-interface)# member <phy-interface>
Where:
<phy-interface> is an ASCII string specifying the physical interface port on the NAB. Valid values are <cartridge>/<slot>/<port> (for example, 1/1/8). There is no default value.
The no version removes a member port from a LAG.
shutdown
To stop a given ethernet or LAG interface on the P-7500 system, enter the shutdown Interface CONFIG command:
tibco(config-interface)# shutdown
The no version starts a given ethernet or LAG interface on the P-7500 system.
ip vrf
To configure the Management and Message Backbone VRFs on a P-7500 system, enter ip vrf <name> at the Global CONFIG level, where <name> is the name of the specified VRF object, either management for Management VRF, or msg-backbone for Message Backbone VRF.
Example:
tibco(config)# ip vrf msg-backbone
tibco(config-ip-vrf)#
The CLI is now at the VRF IP CONFIG level for the Message Backbone VRF. From here you can use the following commands to add or delete IP addresses or IP routes:
interface
To create and configure IP interfaces for VRF objects on an interface by interface basis, enter the create interface VRF IP CONFIG command:
tibco(config-ip-vrf)# create interface <ip-interface> [primary | backup | static]
To configure existing IP interfaces for VRF objects on an interface by interface basis, enter the interface VRF IP CONFIG command:
tibco(config-ip-vrf)# interface <ip-interface> [primary | backup | static]
Where:
<ip-interface> is an ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to be associated with the physical interface port. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface, and it can be associated with any one of the interface types (that is, either primary, backup, or static) .
Valid values are:
eth<port>:<ip> (for example, eth2:1)
<cartridge>/<slot>/<port>:<ip> (for example, 1/1/8:3)
<cartridge>/<slot>/lag1:<ip> (for example, 1/1/lag1:2)
primary specifies that this interface is for the primary virtual router, and is the default if no parameter is entered. It is only active when both the primary virtual router is locally active, and the IP interface on the VRF is running (through the no shutdown VRF IP Interface command)
backup specifies that this interface is for the backup virtual router. It is only active when both the backup virtual router is locally active, and the IP interface on the VRF is running (through the no shutdown VRF IP Interface command)
static specifies that this is the static interface for the physical P-7500 system. It is always active irrespective of the virtual router activity. Clients cannot connect to the static interface if system redundancy is enabled.
Note: The no version of the interface command deletes the specified IP interface from the VRF object.
Entering the interface VRF IP CONFIG command moves you to the VRF IP Interface CONFIG level:
tibco(config-ip-vrf-interface)#
ip-address
To configure the IP address and network mask for the IP interface on the VRF, enter the ip-address VRF IP Interface command:
tibco(config-ip-vrf-interface)# ip-address <cidr-addr>
Where:
<cidr-addr> is the IP address/Netmask combination in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) form:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/dd
Note: The no version (no ip-address) deletes the IP address and network mask configuration from the IP interface on the VRF.
shutdown
To stop the IP interface on the VRF from running, enter the shutdown VRF IP Interface command:
tibco(config-ip-vrf-interface)# shutdown
Note: The no version starts the IP interface on the VRF. IP interfaces on the Message Backbone VRF are turned off by default.
route
To configure IP routes on a VRF object, enter the route VRF IP CONFIG command:
tibco(config-ip-vrf)# route {default | <cidr-addr>} <ip-addr> [<ip-interface>]
Where:
default specifies the default IP route
<cidr-addr> specifies the IP/Netmask address of the IP route in CIDR form (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/dd)
<ip-addr> is the IP address of the IP route in the dotted decimal notation form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
<ip-interface> is an optional ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to be associated with the route. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface. Valid values are eth<port>:<ip> (for example, eth2:1).
Note: The no version deletes the specified IP route from the VRF object.
virtual-router
Note: The primary and backup virtual routers always exist on the physical P-7500 system. They cannot be created nor deleted. Further, unless you are configuring the P-7500 system for redundant operation as described in Chapter 9, “System Redundancy”, configuring the backup virtual router or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) parameters on a P-7500 system is optional since for non-redundant system operation it is the primary virtual router that is always active, and the backup virtual router is always idle.
To configure the VRRP and IP interface parameters for the primary and backup virtual routers on each physical P-7500 system, enter virtual-router at the Global CONFIG level:
tibco(config# virtual-router {primary | backup}
Where:
primary specifies the primary virtual router
backup specifies the backup virtual router
Example:
tibco(config)# virtual-router primary
tibco(config-virtual-router)#
The CLI is now at the Virtual Router CONFIG level for the primary virtual router. From here you can use the following commands to configure the IP interface parameters for use by VRRP and TIBCO Rendezvous (RV) services:
 
rv-interface
To configure the IP interface that is used both:
enter the rv-interface Virtual Router CONFIG command:
tibco(config-virtual-router)# rv-interface <ip-interface>
Where:
<ip-interface> is an ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to be used as the RV interface. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface.
Note: There is no system default for the IP interface to be used as the RV interface. Further, the RV service cannot be enabled without configuring the RV IP interface beforehand.
Valid values are:
<cartridge>/<slot>/<port>:<ip> (for example, 1/1/8:3)
<cartridge>/<slot>/lag<N>:<ip> (for example, 1/1/lag1:2)
Note: The no version deletes the IP interface specified for use by RV services from the virtual router.
vrrp-interface
To configure the IP interface for use by VRRP, enter the vrrp-interface Virtual Router CONFIG command:
tibco(config-virtual-router)# vrrp-interface <ip-interface>
Where:
<ip-interface> is an ASCII string in the form of <phy-interface>:<ip> that specifies the IP interface to use for VRRP. <ip> is a number from 1 to 3 that uniquely identifies this IP interface on the associated physical interface.
Note: There is no system default for the IP interface to be used by VRRP. While configuring the VRRP IP interface is optional for non-redundant system operation, is is mandatory for enabling the active/active system redundancy feature described in Chapter 9, System Redundancy.
 
Valid values are:
<cartridge>/<slot>/<port>:<ip> (for example, 1/1/8:3)
<cartridge>/<slot>/lag<N>:<ip> (for example, 1/1/lag1:2)
Note: The no version deletes the IP interface specified for use by VRRP from the virtual router.
vrrp-vrid
To configure the virtual router identifier (VRID) used by VRRP, enter the vrrp-vrid Virtual Router CONFIG command:
tibco(config-virtual-router)# vrrp-vrid <vrid>
Where:
<vrid> is a value between 1 and 255 (this value must be different from the VRRP VRIDs being used by anything else on the local subnet). There is no default value.
Note: The no version (no vrrp-vrid) deletes the VRID from the virtual router.
