This chapter describes the TCP/IP protocol, and specifically, how Cisco Systems implements this protocol on its protocol translators. Topics in this chapter include:
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a packet-based protocol used to exchange data over computer networks. IP handles addressing, fragmentation, re-assembly, and protocol demultiplexing. It is the foundation on which all other Internet protocols, collectively referred to as the Internet Protocol suite, are built.
Built upon the IP layer suite, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented protocol that specifies the format of data and acknowledgments that two computer systems exchange to transfer data. TCP also specifies the procedures the computers use to ensure that the data arrives correctly. TCP allows multiple applications on a system to communicate concurrently, as it handles all demultiplexing of the incoming traffic among the application programs.
The Cisco Systems implementation of TCP generally ensures good protocol translator performance on slow-speed links as well as high-speed LAN links. Cisco's TCP software includes Telnet, a simple remote terminal protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The software provides commands that allow you to turn on or off TCP services such as stream processing and debugging modes for monitoring the connection. Additionally, the software supports rlogin, the BSD UNIX remote login service.
Use of the TCP and Telnet options are described first. This chapter then provides an overview of IP, including IP addressing, and then describes the commands available for configuring IP.
The Internet Protocol suite includes the simple remote terminal protocol called Telnet. Telnet allows a user at one site to establish a TCP connection to a login server at another site, then passes the keystrokes from one system to the other. Telnet can accept either an Internet address or a domain name as the remote system address. In short, Telnet offers three main services:
The Cisco Systems implementation of Telnet supports the following Telnet options:
It also supports special Telnet commands in the form of Telnet sequences that map generic terminal control functions to operating system-specific functions. To issue a special Telnet command, type the escape sequence (usually Ctrl-^) and then a command character. You can type the command character as you hold down Ctrl or with Ctrl released; you can type either in uppercase or lowercase letters. Table 1-1 lists the special Telnet commands.
Command Name Command Characters
Break Ctrl-B
Interrupt Process (IP) Ctrl-C
Abort Output (AO) Ctrl-O
Are You There? (AYT) Ctrl-T
Two TCP/IP protocols, Telnet and rlogin, are available for making connections to a host. Telnet, a virtual terminal protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, allows for connections to hosts. Telnet is the more widely used protocol. The rlogin protocol is a remote login service developed for the BSD UNIX system. It provides better control and output suppression than Telnet, but may only be used when the host (typically, a UNIX system) also supports rlogin.
Directions for making connections can be very simple: To make a Telnet connection, type the name or address of the host to which you want to connect at the EXEC prompt and press Return. Type the connect command before the host name, if the name of the host is the same as a command word. To make an rlogin connection, type the rlogin command before the host name or address. In either case, the protocol translator either connects you to the host or prints a message stating that the connection failed.
When you are done, log off the host. The EXEC terminates any connection after 10 minutes (default) of inactivity, or when you enter the exit command at the EXEC prompt.
However, the Cisco software also provides additional connection options. The following sections explain these options, and commands to display and monitor the connections.
Use the EXEC command connect or telnet to start a Telnet connection. The command has this syntax:
{connect | telnet} host [port] [keyword]The argument host is a host name or an Internet address. The optional argument port is a decimal TCP port number; the default is the Telnet server port (decimal 23) on the host. The optional argument keyword is one of the following:
connect mathom /route: kl.sri.com 10.1.0.11 mathom
You may omit the command word connect or telnet, if the host name you want to use is not the same as a protocol translator command word.
The protocol translator assigns a logical name to each connection; several commands use these names to identify connections. The logical name is the same as the host name, unless that name is already in use or you change the connection name with the EXEC command name-connection. If the name is already in use, the protocol translator assigns a null name to the connection.
The rlogin command starts a connection using the UNIX rlogin protocol. The full syntax of the command follows:
rlogin host [debug]The argument host is a host name or an Internet address. The optional keyword debug enables debugging output from the rlogin protocol.
An alternative to the Telnet protocol, the rlogin protocol provides superior flow control and output suppression. The Cisco Systems implementation of rlogin does not subscribe to the trusted host model. That is, a user cannot automatically log onto a UNIX system from the protocol translator, but must provide a user ID and a password for each connection.
You can several concurrent Telnet or rlogin connections open and switch back and forth between them. The number of connections that may be opened is defined by the session-limit command; see the chapter "Configuring the System," for more information about this command.To switch between connections, first type the escape sequence, which by default is Ctrl-^, X (press the Ctrl, Shift and ^ keys simultaneously, let go, then press the X key), to return to the system command prompt.
To make a new connection, use the procedure described in the sections "Starting a Telnet Connection," or "Starting an Rlogin Connection," above. To get back to an existing connection, use the resume command, described next. Use the where command to list your open connections.
The EXEC command resume command returns to a previous connection. The command syntax follows:
resume [connection] [/keyword]The optional argument connection is the connection name or number; the default is the most recent connection. The optional argument /keyword is one of the following keywords:
You can omit the command word resume and simply type the connection number to resume a connection. You can also return to the most recent session by just pressing the Return key.
The EXEC command where displays information about all open Telnet or rlogin connections associated with the current terminal line. Enter this command at the EXEC prompt:
whereFollowing is a sample display:
Conn Host Address Byte Idle Conn Name
1 DREGGS 131.108.19.50 0 0 DREGGS
* 2 CLASH 192.31.7.24 0 0 CLASH
The information it displays includes the host name, address, number of characters waiting to be sent to the terminal, idle time, and connection name. An asterisk (*) indicates the current connection.
The EXEC command disconnect aborts a connection, and has this syntax:
disconnect [connection]The optional argument connection is a connection name or number; the default is the current connection. To list your open connection, use the where command.
This section describes the line subcommands for configuring Telnet protocol-specific lines. For information about the configure command and the line configuration command, see Chapter 4, "Configuring the System."
Use the line configuration subcommand telnet refuse-negotiations to suppress negotiation of the Telnet Remote Echo and Suppress Go Ahead options. The command has this simple syntax:
telnet refuse-negotiationsThis subcommand causes Telnet to refuse to negotiate the options on incoming connections.
The line configuration subcommand telnet transparent causes the protocol translator to send a Return (CR) as a CR followed by a NUL instead of a CR followed by a Line Feed (LF). It has this simple syntax:
telnet transparentThis subcommand is useful for coping with different interpretations of end-of-line handling in the Telnet protocol specification.
The line configuration subcommand telnet sync-on-break causes the protocol translator to send a Telnet Synchronize signal when it receives a Telnet Break signal. The syntax of this command follows:
telnet sync-on-breakThe TCP Synchronize signal clears the data path, but will still interpret incoming commands.
The following example represents a typical listing for a modem configured for maximum transparency.
!
line 1-20
telnet transparent
telnet break-on-ip
!
The telnet break-on-ip line configuration subcommand causes the system to generate a hardware Break signal on the RS-232 line that is associated with a Telnet connection, when a Telnet Interrupt-Process (IP) command is received on that connection. This can be used to control the translation of Telnet IP commands into X.25 Break indications. The syntax for this command is:
telnet break-on-ipUse this command to work around the following situations:
A hardware Break command is generated when a Telnet break command is received.
When used with a correctly operating host, Cisco protocol translators implement the Telnet Synchronize and Abort Output signals, which can stop output within one packet's worth of data from the time the user types the interrupt character. For a faster response to user interrupt characters, use the ip tcp chunk-size global configuration command. The command has this syntax:
ip tcp chunk-size numberThe argument number is the number of characters output before the interrupt executes. The suggested value of number is 80, which will typically abort output within a line or two of where the user types the interrupt character. Values of less than 50 are not recommended for reasons of efficiency.
Changing the chunk size affects neither the size of the packet used nor the TCP window size, either of which would cause serious efficiency problems for the remote host as well as for the protocol translator. Instead, the Telnet status is checked after the number of characters specified, causing only a relatively minor performance loss.
This command allows the protocol translator to react more quickly when an interrupt character or sequence is typed (Ctrl-C, for example.)
!
ip tcp chunk-size 100
!
To configure IP on the Cisco protocol translator you must specify the IP address to use on the interface using the ip address command. This command also requests the subnet mask to identify the network portion of the address.
Cisco's IP implementation also provides commands to configure network services such as ICMP and UDP, to set up router discovery mechanisms, and to configure access lists that filter incoming or outgoing network transmissions.
The commands to configure IP and the IP services and features are entered in configuration mode, which is privileged. To enter this mode, type the configure command at the EXEC prompt. For more information about the configuration mode, see the chapter "Configuring the System."
The following sections describe these tasks. The commands for monitoring and debugging IP are described at the end of this chapter, along with alphabetical summaries of the configuration commands described in this chapter.
As described in RFC 1020, Internet addresses are 32-bit quantities, divided into five classes. The classes differ in the number of bits allocated to the network and host portions of the address. For this discussion, consider a network to be a collection of computers (hosts) that have the same network field value in their Internet addresses.
The Class A Internet address format allocates the highest eight bits (octet) to the network field and sets the highest-order bit to 0 (zero). The remaining 24 bits form the host field. Only 128 Class A networks can exist, but each Class A network can have almost 17 million hosts. Figure 11 illustrates the Class A address format.
The Class B Internet address format allocates the highest 16 bits to the network field and sets the two highest-order bits to 1,0. The remaining 16 bits form the host field. Up to 16,384 Class B networks can exist, and each Class B network can have up to 65,536 hosts. Figure 12 illustrates the Class B address format.
The Class C Internet address format allocates the highest 24 bits to the network field and sets the three highest-order bits to 1,1,0. The remaining eight bits form the host field. Over 2 million Class C networks can exist, and each Class C network can have up to 255 hosts. Figure 13 illustrates the Class C address format.
The Class D Internet address format is reserved for multicast groups, as discussed in RFC 988. In Class D addresses, the four highest-order bits are set to 1,1,1,0.
The Class E Internet address format is reserved for future use. In Class E addresses, the four highest-order bits are set to 1,1,1,1. The protocol translator currently ignores Class D and Class E Internet addresses, except the global broadcast address 255.255.255.255.
The notation for Internet addresses consists of four numbers separated by dots (periods). Each number, written in decimal, represents an 8-bit octet. When strung together, the four octets form the 32-bit Internet address. This notation is called dotted decimal.
These examples show 32-bit values expressed as Internet addresses:
192.31.7.19
10.7.0.11
255.255.255.255
0.0.0.0
Note that 255, which represents an octet of all ones, is the largest possible value of a field in a dotted-decimal number.
Some Internet addresses are reserved for special uses and cannot be used for host, subnet, or network addresses. Table 1-2 lists ranges of Internet addresses and shows which addresses are reserved and which are available for use.
Class Address or Range Status
A 0.0.0.0 Old broadcast address
1.0.0.0 through 126.0.0.0 Available
127.0.0.0 Reserved
127.0.0.1 Software loopback
B 128.0.0.0 Reserved
128.1.0.0 through 191.254.0.0 Available
191.255.0.0 Reserved
C 192.0.0.0 Reserved
192.0.1.0 through 223.255.254.0 Available
223.255.255.0 Reserved
D, E 224.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.254 Reserved
255.255.255.255 Broadcast
If the bits in the host portion of an address are all 0, that address refers to the network specified in the network portion of the address. For example, the Class C address 192.31.7.0 refers to a particular network.
If the bits in the host portion of an address are all 1, that address refers to all hosts on the network specified in the network portion of the address. For example, the Class B address 128.1.255.255 refers to all hosts on the 128.1.0.0 network.
Because of these conventions, do not use an Internet address with all zeros or all ones in the host portion for your protocol translator address.
Subnetting is a scheme for imposing a simple hierarchy on hosts that are connected using a single physical network. The usual practice is to use a few of the leftmost bits in the host portion of the network addresses for a subnet field. For example, Figure 14 shows a Class B address with five bits of the host portion used as the subnet field. The official description of subnetting is RFC 950, "Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure."
As with the host portion of an address, do not use all zeros or all ones in the subnet field.
A subnet mask identifies the subnet field of network addresses. This mask is a 32-bit Internet address written in dotted-decimal notation with all ones in the network and subnet portions of the address. For the example shown in Figure 14, the subnet mask is 255.255.248.0.
Table 1-3 shows the subnet masks you can use to divide an octet into subnet and host fields. The subnet field can consist of any number of the host field bits; you do not need to use multiples of eight. However, you should use three or more bits for the subnet field--a subnet field of two bits yields only four subnets, two of which are reserved (the 1,1 and 0,0 values).
Subnet Bits Host Bits Hex Mask Decimal Mask
0 8 0 0
1 7 0x80 128
2 6 0xC0 192
3 5 0xE0 224
4 4 0xF0 240
5 3 0xF8 248
6 2 0xFC 252
7 1 0xFE 254
8 0 0xFF 255
A broadcast is a data packet destined for all hosts on a particular network. Network hosts recognize broadcasts by special addresses. This section describes the meaning and use of Internet broadcast addresses. For detailed discussions of broadcast issues in general, see RFC 919, "Broadcasting Internet Datagrams," and RFC 922, "Broadcasting Internet Datagrams in the Presence of Subnets." The protocol translator support for Internet broadcasts generally complies with RFC 919 and RFC 922; however, the protocol translator does not support multiple subnet broadcasts as defined in RFC 922.
The current standard for an Internet broadcast address requires that the host portion of the address consist of all ones. If the network portion of the broadcast address is also all ones, the broadcast applies to the local network only. If the network portion of the broadcast address is not all ones, the broadcast applies to the network or subnet specified. (Broadcast addresses that include the network or subnet fields are called directed broadcasts.) In the latter case, the sender need not be on the same network or subnet as the intended receiving hosts.
For example, if the network is 128.1.0.0, the address 128.1.255.255 indicates all hosts on network 128.1.0.0. If network 128.1.0.0 has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (the third octet is the subnet field), the address 128.1.5.255 specifies all hosts on subnet 5 of network 128.1.0.0.
Several early TCP/IP implementations do not use the current broadcast address standard. Instead, they use the old standard, which calls for all zeros instead of all ones to indicate broadcast addresses. Many of these implementations do not recognize an all-ones broadcast address and fail to respond to the broadcast correctly. Others forward all-ones broadcasts, which causes a serious network overload known as a "broadcast storm." Implementations that exhibit these problems include UNIX systems based on versions of BSD UNIX prior to version 4.3.
The Cisco Systems protocol translators support different broadcast addresses. To change the Internet broadcast address, see "Sending Internet Broadcast Messages" later in this chapter.
To set the interface address and the subnet mask, use the ip address interface subcommand. The command has this syntax:
ip address address subnet-maskThe argument address is a Class A, Class B, or Class C Internet address for the interface. The argument subnet-mask is a mask of address bits that specifies the network portion of the address.
These commands sets a Class A Internet address for Ethernet 0 with a subnet of 52:
!
interface ethernet 0
ip address 15.240.0.52 255.255.255.0
!
The following sections describe the IP network services supported by the Cisco TCP/IP software implementation. These services include:
In many cases, use of these services requires no configuration. Procedures requiring configuration generally also require entering IP addresses. Refer to the section "Internet Addressing" for an overview of the Internet addressing scheme. Refer to the list of references at the end of this manual.
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a special protocol within the IP protocol suite that focuses exclusively on control and management of IP connections. ICMP messages are generated when a problem is discovered with the IP part of a packet's header. The messages serve to alert another device on the network of a problem, or they may be sent to the source or destination device (host). The protocol translator listens to ICMP Destination Unreachable messages as it tries to create TCP connections to other hosts.
If the protocol translator receives a non-broadcast packet that uses a protocol the protocol translator does not recognize, it sends an ICMP Protocol Unreachable message to the source.
The protocol translator caches ICMP Redirect messages and uses them to decide which local router to use when sending a packet. To display the current cache of these messages, use the EXEC command show ip redirects. For more information, see the section "Monitoring TCP/IP" at the end of this chapter.
When you use the privileged EXEC command ping, the protocol translator sends ICMP Echo messages to check host reachability and network connectivity. If the protocol translator receives an ICMP Echo message, it sends an ICMP Echo Reply message to the source of the ICMP Echo message.
If the value in the time-to-live field of a packet falls to zero, or if the protocol translator cannot reassemble a fragmented packet in the time allowed, the protocol translator sends an ICMPTime Exceeded message to the source of the packet and discards the packet.
If the protocol translator receives an ICMP Information Request or ICMP Timestamp Request message, it responds with an ICMP Information Reply or Timestamp Reply message.
During the process of obtaining configuration information from network servers, the protocol translator sends broadcast ICMP Mask Request messages to determine subnet definitions for the local networks.
The protocol translator supports the Internet header options Strict Source Route, Loose Source Route, Record Route, and Time Stamp.
The protocol translator examines the header options of every packet that it receives. If it finds a packet with an invalid option, the protocol translator sends an ICMP Parameter Problem message to the source of the packet and discards the packet.
You can use the extended command mode of the privileged EXEC command ping to specify several of the Internet header options. To see the list of the options you can specify, type a question mark at the "extended commands" prompt of the ping command.
The protocol translator uses Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), defined in RFC 826, to locate other hosts on the network. ARP is a protocol for mapping 32-bit Internet protocol addresses to 48-bit Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 hardware addresses.
To send an Internet data packet to a local host with which it has not previously communicated, the protocol translator first broadcasts an ARP Request packet. The ARP Request packet requests the Ethernet hardware address corresponding to an Internet address. All hosts on the local Ethernet receive the ARP Request, but only the host with the specified Internet address may respond.
If present and functioning, the host with the specified address responds with an ARP Reply packet containing its hardware address. The protocol translator receives the ARP Reply packet, stores the hardware address in its ARP cache for future use, and begins exchanging packets with the receiving host.
The global configuration command arp installs a permanent entry in the system ARP cache, which the protocol translator uses to translate 32-bit Internet Protocol addresses into 48-bit Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 hardware addresses that use the specified type of encapsulation. The full syntax of this command follows:
arp internet-address hardware-address type-keywordThe argument internet-address is the Internet address in dotted-decimal format corresponding to the hardware address specified by argument hardware-address, specified as a "dotted triple" of hexadecimal digits. The argument type-keyword is the encapsulation keyword, and can be one of the following:
The no arp command removes the specified entry from the ARP cache.
To remove all non-interface entries from the ARP cache, use the privileged EXEC command clear arp-cache.
This example establishes ARPA Ethernet encapsulation for Internet address 192.31.7.19 and hardware address 0800.0900.1B34:
arp 192.31.7.19 0800.0900.1B34 arpa
The protocol translator uses both Reverse ARP (RARP) and Boot Protocol (BootP) messages when trying to obtain interface addresses from network servers. Reverse ARP, defined in RFC 903, works the same way as ARP, except that the RARP Request packet requests an Internet address instead of a hardware address. The Cisco Systems protocol translators use RARP during startup processing to attempt to determine their Internet addresses from other network servers.
BootP, defined in RFC 951, specifies a method for determining the Internet address of a host from its Ethernet hardware address. The basic mechanism is similar to that used by RARP, but it is UDP-based rather than a distinct Ethernet protocol. (For more information, see "Sending UDP Broadcasts" later in this chapter.) The main advantage of BootP is that its messages can be routed through routers, whereas RARP messages cannot leave the local Ethernet.
The protocol translator supports Internet broadcasts on both local and wide area networks. At least four ways exist to indicate the Internet broadcast address. You can configure a protocol translator host to generate any form of Internet broadcast address. The protocol translator can also receive and understand any form of Internet broadcast address.
By default, a protocol translator host uses all ones for both the network and host portions of the Internet broadcast address (255.255.255.255). You can change the Internet broadcast address by setting jumpers in the processor configuration register. Setting bit 10 causes the protocol translator to use all zeros. Bit 10 interacts with bit 14, which controls the network and subnet portions of the broadcast address. Setting bit 14 causes the protocol translator to include the network and subnet portions of its address in the broadcast address.
Table 1-4 shows the combined effect of bits 10 and 14. For more information about the configuration register, see the Cisco Modular Products Hardware Installation and Reference publication.
Bit 14 Bit 10 Address (<net><host>)
out out <ones><ones>
out in <zeros><zeros>
in in <net><zeros>
in out <net><ones>
If the protocol translator has the non-volatile memory option, you can also change the Internet broadcast address by using the interface subcommand ip broadcast-address. The command has this syntax:
ip broadcast-address addressThe argument address specifies an Internet address for the protocol translator to use in all broadcasts. The default broadcast address is 255.255.255.255.
The protocol translator occasionally employs UDP broadcasts to determine address, configuration, and name information. (UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol, defined in RFC 768.) If the protocol translator is on a network segment that does not include a server host, UDP broadcasts fail.
To correct this situation, you can configure an interface of a Cisco Systems router or gateway server to forward certain classes of UDP broadcasts to a specified address. See the Cisco Router Products Configuration and Reference publication for more information.
The ip alias global configuration command assigns an Internet address to the service provided on a TCP port.
ip alias internet-address TCP-portThe argument internet-address is the Internet address for the service, and the argument TCP-port is the number of the TCP port. Note that internet-address must be on the same network or subnet as the protocol translator's main address, and must not be used by another host on that network or subnet. Connecting to internet-address has the same effect as connecting to the protocol translator's main address, using TCP-port as the TCP port.
You can use the ip alias command to assign multiple Internet addresses to the protocol translator. For example, in addition to the primary alias address, you can specify addresses that correspond to lines or rotary groups. Using the ip alias command in this way makes the process of connecting to a specific rotary group transparent to the user.
The no ip alias command removes the specified address for the protocol translator.
This command
!
ip alias 131.108.42.42 3001
!
configures connections to IP address 131.108.42.42 to act identically to connections made to server's primary IP address on TCP port 3001. In other words, the user trying to connect will get connected to the first free line in rotary group 1 using the Telnet protocol.
The global configuration command ip host enters a static host-name-to-address mapping in the host cache.
ip host name [TCP-port] internet-address1 [internet-address2 . . . internet-address8]The argument name is the host name, and the optional argument TCP-port is the TCP port number (in decimal). If you omit the argument TCP-port, the Telnet port is assumed. You may specify up to eight Internet address arguments (the first address argument is required), separated by spaces.
To remove a host cache entry, use the privileged EXEC command clear host. See the section "Maintaining TCP/IP" at the end of this chapter for more information.
You can use the ip host command to set up aliases for hosts and for host-and-port pairs.
ip host chaff 192.31.7.17
ip host printer 2034 192.31.7.65
ip host cisco-gw 192.31.7.18 128.5.0.67
In the above example, the host chaff corresponds to host address 192.31.7.17, printer is TCP port 2034 at Internet address 192.31.7.65, and cisco-gw is a host with two addresses.
You can specify that the Domain Name System (DNS) IEN-116 name server automatically determine host-name-to-address mappings. Use these global configuration commands to establish different forms of dynamic name lookup:
To have one or more hosts supply name information, use the ip name-server global configuration command. The full syntax of the command follows:
ip name-server server-address1 [server-address2 . . . server-address6]The arguments server-address are the Internet addresses of up to six name servers. By default, the protocol translator uses the all-ones broadcast address (255.255.255.255).
This command specifies host 131.108.1.111 as the primary name server, and host 131.108.1.2 as the secondary server. Domain name requests, which by default are controlled by the service domain command, are sent to each address in the list until a response is received.
!
ip name-server 131.108.1.111 131.108.1.2
!
The global configuration command ip domain-name defines a default domain name the protocol translator uses to complete unqualified host names (names without a dotted domain name appended to them). The syntax of this command follows:
ip domain-name nameThe argument name is the domain name; do not include the initial period that separates an unqualified name from the domain name.
The no ip domain-name command disables use of the Domain Name System.
This command
!
ip domain-name cisco.com
!
defines cisco.com to be used as the default name. Any IP host name that does not contain a domain name, that is, any name without a dot (.), will have the dot and cisco.com appended to it before being added to the domain name system.
By default, IP Domain Name System-based host-name-to-address translation is enabled. To enable or disable this feature, use the ip domain-lookup global configuration command as follows:
ip domain-lookupThe no variation of the command disables the feature; the ip domain-lookup command restores the default.
To specify the IP IEN-116 Name Server host-name-to-address translation, use the ip ipname-lookup global configuration command as follows:
ip ipname-lookupThis command is disabled by default; the no variation of the command restores the default.
To define a list of default domain names to complete unqualified host names, use the ip domain-list global configuration command.
ip domain-list nameThis is similar to the ip domain-name command, except that with ip domain-list you can define a list of domains, each to be tried in turn.
The argument name is the domain name; do not enter an initial period. Specify only one name when you enter the ip domain-list command.
In the example below, several domain names are added to a list:
ip domain-list martinez.com
ip domain-list stanford.edu
In the example below a name is added and another one is deleted from the list.
ip domain-list sunya.edu
no ip domain-list stanford.edu
If there is no domain list, the default domain name is used.
The protocol translator software provides three methods by which the protocol translator can learn about routes to other networks:
The first and most common method is by using proxy ARP. The software treats all networks as if they are local, and performs ARPs for every IP address. The appropriate router to that network answers the ARP request, allowing the software to reach any network. This method works so long as the routers supported proxy ARP. While this is true of Cisco routers, many other routers, and especially host-based routing software, do not support this feature.
The second method for locating routes is to define a default router (described in the subsequent section "Using the Default Gateway"). The software sends all non-local packets to this router, which would route them appropriately, and perhaps send an ICMP redirect message back to the protocol translator, telling it of a better router. The software would cache these redirect messages, and route each packet thereafter as efficiently as possible. The problem with this method is that there is no means to detect when the default router had crashed or was unavailable, and no method of picking another router is possible in that event.
The Cisco protocol translator software provides a third method, called Router Discovery, by which the protocol translator may learn about routes to other networks using the Cisco-defined Gateway Discovery Protocol (GDP) for detecting routers. It is also capable of wiretapping RIP and IGRP routing updates, and inferring from those updates the location of routers. The protocol translator client implementation of router discovery does not actually examine or store the full routing tables sent by routers, it merely keeps track of which systems are sending such data. Each method is described in the following sections.
Proxy ARP, defined in RFC 1027, enables an Ethernet host with no knowledge of routing to communicate with hosts on other networks or subnets. Such a host assumes that all hosts are on the same local Ethernet, and that it can use ARP to determine their hardware addresses.
Under proxy ARP, if a gateway receives an ARP Request for a host that is not on the same network as the ARP Request sender, the gateway evaluates whether it has the best route to that host. If the gateway does have the best route, the gateway sends an ARP Reply packet giving its own Ethernet hardware address. The host that sent the ARP Request then sends its packets to the gateway, which forwards them to the intended host.
All Cisco Systems routers and gateway servers support proxy ARP.
Because the protocol translator hosts do not "wiretap" or participate in routing transactions, they are independent of any routing protocol. The protocol translator can use a default gateway (router) or rely on proxy ARP to send packets to hosts not on the local subnet or network.
You set up a default gateway for the protocol translator using the ip default-gateway global configuration command. The command has this syntax:
ip default-gateway addressThe ip default-gateway command specifies the router the protocol translator uses to send packets to hosts not on the local network or subnet. The argument address is the Internet address of the router.
The protocol translator sends any packets needing the assistance of a gateway to the address you specify. If another gateway has a better route to the requested host, the default gateway sends an ICMP Redirect message to the protocol translator. The ICMP Redirect message indicates which local router the protocol translator should use.
To display the address of the default gateway, use the EXEC command show ip redirects. See the section "Monitoring TCP/IP" later in this chapter for more information.
This example command defines the router on Internet address 192.31.7.18 as the default router:
ip default-gateway 192.31.7.18
The Cisco Router Discovery mechanism allows the protocol translator to learn the routes to other networks using routing protocols. The mechanism supports these routing protocols:
You may configure the three protocols together in any combination. When possible, it is recommended that GDP be used, as it allows each router to specify both a priority and the time after which a router should be assumed down if no further packets are received. Routers discovered using IGRP are assigned an arbitrary priority of 60. Routers discovered through RIP are assigned a priority of 50. For IGRP and RIP, the software attempts to measure the time between updates, and will assume that the router is down if no updates are received for 2.5 times that interval.
Each router discovered by the protocol translator becomes a candidate for the default router. The list of candidates is scanned to select a new router with the highest priority for the following reasons:
Use this interface subcommand to configure the Router Discovery feature using the Cisco GDP routing protocol:
ip gdp gdpUse the no ip gdp gdp command to turn the feature off.
This example command configures Router Discovery using GDP on the Ethernet 0 interface:
!
interface ethernet 0
ip gdp gdp
!
Use this interface subcommand to configure the Router Discovery feature using the UNIX RIP routing protocol:
ip gdp ripUse the no ip gdp rip command to turn the feature off.
This example command configures Router Discovery using RIP on the Ethernet 1 interface:
!
interface ethernet 1
ip gdp rip
!
Use this interface subcommand to configure the Router Discovery feature using the Cisco IGRP routing protocol:
ip gdp igrpUse the no ip gdp igrp command to turn the feature off.
This example command configures Router Discovery using IGRP on the Ethernet 1 interface:
!
interface ethernet 1
ip gdp igrp
!
An access list is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions that apply to Internet addresses. The protocol translator tests addresses against the conditions in an access list, one by one. The first match determines whether the protocol translator accepts or rejects the address. Because the protocol translator stops testing conditions after the first match, the order of the conditions is critical. When no conditions match, the protocol translator rejects the address.
To specify an access condition, use the access-list global configuration command. The command syntax is somewhat complex:
access-list list {permit | deny} address wildcard-maskThe argument list is an integer from 1 through 99 that you assign to identify one or more permit/deny conditions as an access list. Access list 0 is predefined; it permits any address and is the default access list for terminal lines.
The protocol translator compares the address being tested to address ignoring any bits specified in wildcard-mask. If you use the condition keyword permit, a match causes the address to be accepted. If you use the condition keyword deny, a match causes the address to be rejected.
The arguments address and wildcard-mask are 32-bit quantities written in dotted-decimal format. Address bits corresponding to wild-card mask bits set to 1 are ignored in comparisons; address bits corresponding to wild-card mask bits set to 0 (zero) are used in comparisons. See the examples later in this section.
An access list can contain an indefinite number of actual and wild-card addresses. A wild-card address has a non-zero address mask and thus potentially matches more than one actual address. The protocol translator examines first the actual addresses, then the wild-card addresses. The order of the wild-card addresses is important, because the protocol translator stops examining access-list entries after it finds a match.
The no access-list command removes the specified access list.
The following access-list example allows access for only those hosts on the three specified networks. This example assumes that subnetting is not used; the masks apply to the host portions of the network addresses.
access-list 1 permit 192.5.34.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 permit 128.88.1.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 1 permit 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
In the next example, network 36.0.0.0 is a Class A network whose second octet specifies a subnet; that is, its subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. The third and fourth octets of a network 36.0.0.0 address specify a particular host. Using access list 2, the protocol translator would accept one address on subnet 48 and reject all others on that subnet. The protocol translator would accept addresses on all other network 36.0.0.0 subnets:
access-list 2 permit 36.48.0.3 0.0.0.0 ! allow one host
access-list 2 deny 36.48.0.0 0.0.255.255 ! block subnet 48
access-list 2 permit 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 ! all of net 36
To specify a large number of individual addresses more easily, you can omit the address mask that is all zeros from the access-list configuration command. Thus, the following two configuration commands are identical in effect:
access-list 2 permit 36.48.0.3
access-list 2 permit 36.48.0.3 0.0.0.0
To restrict incoming and outgoing connections between a particular terminal line or group of lines and the addresses in an access list, use the access-class subcommand of the line configuration command:
access-class list {in | out}The argument list is an integer from 1 through 99 that specifies the defined access list. Use the keyword in to control which hosts may make Telnet or TCP connections into the protocol translator. These types of connections are associated with rotary groups, virtual terminals and printers, for example.
The following example defines an access list that permits only hosts on network 192.89.55.0 to connect to the virtual terminals on the protocol translator:
access-list 12 permit 192.89.55.0 0.0.0.255
line 41 45
access-class 12 in
Use the keyword out to define the access checks made on outgoing connections. (A user who types a host name at the system prompt to initiate a Telnet connection is making an outgoing connection.)
The following example defines an access list that denies connections to networks other than network 36.0.0.0 on terminal lines 1 through 20:
access-list 10 permit 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
line 1 20
access-class 10 out
To display the access lists for a particular terminal line, use the EXEC command show line and specify the line number.
Use the privileged EXEC commands described in this section to maintain the IP caches and lines.
Use the clear arp-cache command to remove all non-interface entries from the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache. Enter this command at the EXEC privileged-level prompt:
clear arp-cacheUse the clear host command to remove one or all entries from the host-name-and-address cache. Enter this command at the EXEC privileged-level prompt:
clear host {name | *}To remove a particular entry, use the argument name to specify the host. To clear the entire cache, use an asterisk (*). The show hosts command displays the host-name-and-address cache; see the upcoming section "Displaying the Host-Name-and-Address Cache."
This section describes the EXEC commands you use to obtain displays of IP activity.
The show access-lists command displays the contents of the access-control lists. Enter this command at the EXEC prompt:
show access-listsThe following is sample command output:
Standard IP access list 1
deny 192.31.7.18
deny 192.31.7.50
permit 0.0.0.0, wildcard bits 255.255.255.255
The permit and deny conditions are listed for each network, along with the wildcard mask, if any.
To display the ARP cache, use the following EXEC command:
show arpThis command displays the contents of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache. An Address Resolution Protocol establishes correspondences between network addresses (an IP address, for example) and LAN hardware addresses (Ethernet addresses). A record of each correspondence is kept in a cache for a predetermined amount of time and then discarded. Following is sample output. Table 1-5 describes the fields displayed.

The show ip interfaces command displays the Internet configuration of the network interface. Enter this command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
show ip interfacesFollowing is a sample display:
Ethernet 0 is up, line protocol is up
Internet address is 131.108.12.19, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255

This display includes IP-specific parameters of the network interface, including the address, the subnet mask, the broadcast address, and how the address was determined. The display also includes parameters specific to the host Cisco router.
The show ip redirects command displays the current cache of ICMP Redirect messages for the system. Enter this command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
show ip redirectsThe protocol translator uses these redirect entries to decide which local gateway to use for the first hop when sending an Internet packet. The command displays the Internet address of the default gateway, if any. It also shows routers learned through the Gateway Discovery Program described earlier in this chapter in "Using the Route Discovery Mechanism."
A sample display follows:

The show ip traffic command displays a detailed breakdown of the protocol traffic through the system. Enter this command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
show ip trafficThe following is sample command output:

ARP statistics:
Rcvd: 574 requests, 149 replies, 86 reverse, 0 other
Sent: 268 requests, 62 replies (0 proxy), 0 reverse
In the output, a format error is a gross error in the packet format, such as an impossible Internet header length. A bad hop count occurs when a packet is discarded because its time-to-live (TTL) field was decremented to zero. An encapsulation failure usually indicates that the protocol translator received no reply to an ARP request and therefore did not send the datagram. Most of the other output categories are interesting only on a router.
The show tcp command displays the status of all TCP connections. Enter this command at the privileged-level EXEC prompt:
show tcp [line-number]The optional argument line-number restricts the report to the TCP connections for a particular line.

Use the privileged EXEC debugging commands described in this section to monitor error information about IP traffic. For each debug command, there is a corresponding undebug command to disable the reports.
The debug arp command enables logging of ARP-related traffic.
The debug broadcast command enables logging of all broadcast traffic.
The debug ip-icmp command enables logging of ICMP transactions.
The debug ip-packet command enables logging of IP packets sent and received.
The command causes packets received and decisions made by the Router Discovery process to generate debugging messages. Use this EXEC command to debug the Router Discovery process.
The debug ip-tcp command enables logging of significant TCP transactions, such as state changes, retransmissions, and duplicate packets. The undebug ip-tcp command ends this logging.
The debug ip-tcp-packet command enables logging of each TCP packet associated with the specified line number.
The debug ip-udp command enables logging of UDP packets sent and received. This command is useful for checking whether SNMP packets are being sent or received.
The debug telnet command enables logging of incoming Telnet connections. To debug outgoing connections, append the /debug keyword to the EXEC command connect.
Following is an alphabetically arranged summary of the TCP/IP global configuration commands.
[no] access-list list {permit | deny} address wildcard-mask
Specifies an access condition. The argument list is an integer from 1 through 99 selected to identify one or more permit/deny conditions. Access list 0 is predefined and permits any address, and is the default access list for terminal lines.
The keyword permit specifies that a match causes the address to be accepted. The keyword deny specifies that a match causes the address to be rejected.
The software compares the address being tested to that entered for the address argument, ignoring any bits specified in wildcard-mask. The arguments address and wildcard-mask are 32-bit quantities written in dotted-decimal format. Address bits corresponding to wild-card mask bits set to 1 are ignored in comparisons; address bits corresponding to wild-card mask bits set to 0 (zero) are used in comparisons. An access list can contain an indefinite number of actual and wild-card addresses. A wild-card address has a non-zero address mask and thus potentially matches more than one actual address. The protocol translator examines first the actual addresses, then the wild-card addresses. The order of the wild-card addresses is important, because the protocol translator stops examining access-list entries after it finds a match.
The no variation of the command removes the specified access list.
[no] arp internet-address hardware-address type-keyword
Installs a permanent entry in the system ARP cache, which the protocol translator uses to translate 32-bit Internet Protocol addresses into 48-bit Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 hardware addresses that use the specified type of encapsulation. The argument internet-address is the Internet address in dotted-decimal format corresponding to the hardware address specified by argument hardware-address, specified as a "dotted triple" of hexadecimal digits. The argument type-keyword is the encapsulation keyword, and can be one of the following:
The no keyword with the Internet address removes the specified entry from the ARP cache.
[no] ip alias internet-address TCP-port
Assigns an Internet address to the service provided on a TCP port. The argument internet-address is the Internet address for the service, and the argument TCP-port is the number of the TCP port.
The no keyword with the Internet address removes the specified address for the protocol translator.
[no] ip default-gateway address
Sets up a default gateway for the protocol translator and specifies the router the protocol translator uses to send packets to hosts not on the local network or subnet. The argument address is the Internet address of the router.
Use the no keyword to disable this function; an address is not specified.
[no] ip host name [TCP-port] internet-address1 [internet-address2 . . . internet-address8]
Enters a static host-name-to-address mapping in the host cache. The argument name is the host name, and the optional argument TCP-port is the TCP port number (in decimal). If the argument TCP-port is omitted, the Telnet port is assumed. You can specify up to eight Internet address arguments (the first address argument is required), separated by spaces. Remove an address map from the list using the no variation of the command with the host name. Remove a host cache entry using the clear host EXEC command.
Defines a list of default domain names to complete unqualified host names. The argument name is the domain name; do not enter an initial period. Remove a name from the list using the no variation of the command with the domain name.
Enables or disables IP Domain Name System-based host-name-to-address translation. Enabled by default.
Defines a default domain name the protocol translator uses to complete unqualified host names (names without a dotted domain name appended to them). The argument name is the domain name; do not include the initial period that separates an unqualified name from the domain name. Use the no keyword to disable use of the Domain Name System; a name argument is not required.
Specifies the IP IEN-116 Name Server host-name-to-address translation. Disabled by default.
[no] ip name-server server-address [server-address2 . . . server-address6]
Specifies one or more hosts that supply name information. The arguments server-address are the Internet addresses of up to six name servers. By default, the protocol translator uses the all-ones broadcast address (255.255.255.255).
Provides faster response to user interrupt characters. The argument number is the number of characters output before the interrupt executes. The suggested value of number is 80, which will typically abort output within a line or two of where the user types the interrupt character. Values of less than 50 are not recommended for reasons of efficiency.
Following is an alphabetically arranged summary of the TCP/IP interface subcommands.
ip address address subnet-mask
Set the interface address and the subnet mask. The argument address is a Class A, Class B, or Class C Internet address for the interface. The argument subnet-mask is a mask of address bits that specifies the network portion of the address.
Changes the Internet broadcast address when the protocol translator has the nonvolatile memory option installed. The argument address specifies an Internet address for the protocol translator to use in all broadcasts. The default broadcast address is 255.255.255.255.
Configures the Router Discovery feature using the Cisco GDP routing protocol. Use the no keyword to turn off the feature.
Configures the Router Discovery feature using the Cisco IGRP routing protocol. Use the no keyword to turn off the feature.
Configures the Router Discovery feature using the UNIX RIP routing protocol. Use the no keyword to turn off the feature.
Following is an alphabetically arranged summary of the TCP/IP line subcommands.
Restricts incoming and outgoing connections between a particular terminal line or group of lines and the addresses in an access list. The argument list is an integer from 1 through 99 that specifies the defined access list. The keyword in controls which hosts may make Telnet or TCP connections into the protocol translator. The keyword out defines the access checks made on outgoing connections.
Causes the system to generate a hardware Break signal on the RS-232 line that is associated with a Telnet connection, when a Telnet Interrupt-Process (IP) command is received on that connection. A hardware Break command is generated when a Telnet Break command is received.
Suppresses negotiation of the Telnet Remote Echo and Suppress Go Ahead options. This subcommand causes Telnet to refuse to negotiate the options on incoming connections.
Causes the protocol translator to send a Telnet Synchronize signal when it receives a Telnet Break signal. The TCP Synchronize signal clears the data path, but will still interpret incoming commands.
Causes the protocol translator to send a Return (CR) as a CR followed by a NUL instead of a CR followed by a Line Feed (LF). This subcommand is useful for coping with different interpretations of end-of-line handling in the Telnet protocol specification.
