Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—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.
Severity 2 (S2)—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.
Severity 3 (S3)—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.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions

This document describes the command and configuration modes used in the Cisco IOS XR command
line interface (CLI). The availability of configuration modes depends on the software packages that are
installed on your system and on which router platform you are using. For more information on a
particular configuration mode, refer to the command reference or configuration that is related to the
mode described in this module.
This module describes the command modes in the following sections:
• Base Command Modes
• User Configuration Modes
Following the mode definitions in this module, the next module contains a table that identifies the router
prompts in alphabetical order. This table shows where the prompt exists in the CLI and how you get to
the prompt. It also has examples of command sequences that could get you to a particular prompt.

Base Command Modes

Base command modes are used for navigating the CLI and performing basic router startup,
configuration, and monitoring tasks.

EXEC Mode
Prompt: (router)
The default command mode for the CLI is EXEC mode. In general, the EXEC commands let you connect
to remote devices, change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and list system
information. Most CLI commands in EXEC mode do not change system operation. The most common
EXEC commands are show commands (to display router configuration or operational data) and clear
commands (to clear or reset system counters).

ROM Monitor Mode

Prompt: rommon Bn>
If your router or access server does not find a valid system image to load, the user interface enters
read-only memory (ROM) monitor mode. ROM monitor (ROMMON) mode can also be accessed by
interrupting the boot sequence during startup. From ROM monitor mode, you can boot the device or
perform diagnostic tests.

Cisco IOS XR Command Modes Reference

CMR-1
 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions
User Configuration Modes

To enter ROM monitor mode, use the Break (Ctrl-C) during the first 60 seconds of startup. The router
prompt consists of an angle bracket by itself or “rommon” followed by the letter B a number, and an
angle bracket: > or rommon B1>. The number after the B increments upon each user-entry.

Setup Mode
Setup mode is not actually a command mode. Setup mode is an interactive facility that lets you perform
first-time configuration and other basic configurations on all routers. The facility prompts you to enter
basic information needed to start a router functioning. Setup mode uses the system configuration dialog,
which guides you through the configuration process. It prompts you first for global parameters and then
for interface parameters. The values shown in brackets next to each prompt are the default values.
To enter setup mode after the router has been configured for the first time, use the setup command in
admin EXEC mode. The router prompt for setup mode is indicated by a configuration question, followed
by the default answer in brackets and a colon (:), as shown in the following example:
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:
Enter host name [Router]:

User Configuration Modes

The remaining sections of this module describe each mode you can access during regular operation.

Address Family Configuration Mode

Prompts:
• For BGP: (config-bgp-af)
• For OSPF: (config-ospfv-af)
• For OSPFv3: (config-ospfv3-af)
• For EIGRP: (config-eigrp-af)
For IS-IS, see Router Address Family Configuration Mode.
Enter one of the address family configuration modes from router configuration mode. Address family
configuration mode is available for the BGP, OSPF, OSPFv3, and EIGRP protocols. This mode is the
highest-level address family configuration mode. This mode is also called global address family
configuration mode.
For BGP only, address family configuration is available in four modes. In addition to this section, see
also Address Family Group Configuration Mode, Neighbor Address Family Configuration Mode, or
Neighbor Group Address Family Configuration Mode.
For example, first enter BGP router configuration mode, then address family configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# address-family ipv6 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-af)#

Cisco IOS XR Command Modes Reference

CMR-2
 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions
User Configuration Modes

Address Family Group Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-bgp-afgrp)
Enter address family group configuration mode from router configuration mode for BGP. In this group
configuration mode, you can configure characteristics of an address family group that a neighbor uses.
Furthermore, neighbors inherit the configuration parameters of the entire address family group.
For example, create an address family group with the name newgroup1 and an address family of IPv4
unicast. The CLI subsequently enters address family group configuration mode. In address family group
mode, you configure the next-hop-self feature, so that all neighbors that use address family newgroup1
inherit the next-hop-self configuration:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 100
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group newgroup1 address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# next-hop-self

Administration Configuration Mode

Prompt: (admin-config)
Enter administration configuration (admin config) mode from administration EXEC mode. The primary
application of administration configuration mode is to let you:
• Configure service domain routers (SDRs).
• Control individual card slots. For example, you can turn power on or off at a slot.
For SDRs, this mode is used primarily to display system-wide parameters, configure the administration
plane over the control Ethernet, and configure SDRs on a multishelf a system. These operations are
available at the root level.
For example, first enter the administration EXEC mode, and then use the configure command to enter
administration configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin-config)#

Administration EXEC Mode

Prompt: (admin)
Enter administration executive (admin EXEC) mode from EXEC mode. The admin EXEC mode applies
primarily to secure domain routers (SDRs). When SDRs have been configured, the EXEC mode provides
visibility into only one SDR, so you must enter administration EXEC mode to see all system parameters.
To display system-wide parameters, configure the administration plane over the control Ethernet, and
configure SDRs on multishelf systems, use administration EXEC mode and administration configuration
mode.
For example, enter the admin EXEC mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)#

Cisco IOS XR Command Modes Reference

CMR-3
 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions
User Configuration Modes

APS Group Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-aps)
Enter automatic protection switching (APS) group configuration mode by using the aps group command
in global configuration mode. The SONET/SDH APS feature offers recovery from fiber (external) or
equipment (interface and internal) failures at the SONET/SDH line layer. The aps group command
either creates a new group or identifies an existing group. The group numbers have a range of 1 to 255.
APS requires the creation of an APS group for each protection port and its corresponding working port.
For example, use the authenticate command in APS group configuration mode to specify abctown as
the authentication string for APS group 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# aps group 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)# authenticate abctown

For example, configure SONET port 0/2/0/2 to be a local protection channel in APS group 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# aps group 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)# channel 0 local SONET 0/2/0/2
For example, configure the remote channel with IP address 192.168.1.1 to be the working channel for
APS group 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# aps group 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-aps)# channel 1 remote 192.168.1.1

Area Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ospf-ar)
Enter area configuration mode from router configuration mode. The pertinent router modes for area
configuration apply to OSPF and OSPFv3. Commands that run in area configuration mode (such as the
interface and authentication commands), are automatically bound to that area.
For example, after you enter router configuration mode for OSPF, create area 0. The CLI enters area
configuration mode where, in this example, you specify Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) interface
0/2/0/0. By definition of an area, interface 0/2/0/0 is bound to area 0:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router ospf 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-router)# area 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface POS 0/2/0/0

BGP Confederation Peers Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-bgp-confed-peers)
Enter BGP confederation peer configuration mode by using the bgp confederation peers command in
BGP router configuration mode. In this mode, you can specify multiple autonomous systems (one
autonomous-system-number) on each command line.
For example, configure multiple autonomous systems in BGP confederation peer configuration mode:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1095
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# bgp confederation peers
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-confed-peers)# 1096
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-confed-peers)# 1097
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-confed-peers)# 1098

Cisco IOS XR Command Modes Reference

CMR-4
 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions
User Configuration Modes

Class Map Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-cmap)
Enter class map configuration mode from global configuration mode by using the class-map command.
Use the class-map command to create a new class map or identify an existing map. The CLI then goes
into class map configuration mode so you can create the quality of service (QoS)-related configuration
of the class map. For details on policies and classes in QoS, see Quality of Service Commands on
Cisco IOS XR Software or Cisco IOS XR Modular Quality of Service Configuration Guide.
For example, create a class map with the name class1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# class-map class1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cmap)#

Crypto IPSec Transport

Prompt: (config-transport)
Enter IP Security (IPSec) transport configuration mode by using the crypto ipsec transport command
in global configuration mode. IPSec protects the Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) header and the payload.

User Configuration Modes

IKE is a key management protocol standard that works with the IP Security (IPSec) standard. IPSec
provides robust authentication and encryption of IP packets. IKE is a hybrid protocol that implements
the Oakley key exchange and the Skeme key exchange inside the ISAKMP framework.
For example, configure split tunneling by using the acl command to specify which groups of access
control lists (ACLs) represent the protected subnets for split tunneling. (Split tunneling is the ability to
have a secure tunnel to the central site and simultaneously have clear text tunnels to the Internet.) In this
case, split tunneling is applied to the group named cisco. Subsequently, all traffic sourced at the client
and destined to the subnet 192.168.1.0 goes by way of the VPN tunnel:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto isakmp client configuration group cisco
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(isakmp-group)# key cisco
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(isakmp-group)# acl group1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# ipv4 access-list group1 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any

ISAKMP Policy Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-isakmp)
Enter ISAKMP policy configuration mode by using the crypto isakmp policy command in global
configuration mode. In policy configuration mode, the available commands let you define a policy for
Internet Key Exchange (IKE).
For example, create and configure policy number 15 with the characteristics shown:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto isakmp policy 15
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# hash md5
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# authentication rsa-sig
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# group 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# lifetime 5000

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# exit

Key Chain Mode

Prompt: (config-client-keys)
Enter key chain mode by entering the key chain command in global configuration mode. In the prompt
for this mode, the client is a protocol (such as IS-IS) or other type of client that uses a key.
For example, enter key chain mode for a client named isis-keys:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# key chain isis-keys
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys)#

Keychain-Key Mode
Prompt: (config-client-keys-key-id)
Enter keychain-key mode by entering the key command in key chain configuration mode. In the prompt
for this mode, the client is a protocol (such as IS-IS) or other type of client that is using the key identified
by the key-id argument.
For example, create a key for IS-IS with a value for a key-id of 8:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# key chain isis-keys
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys)# key 8
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-keys-0x8)#

Line (Template) Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-line)
Enter line (or line template) configuration mode by using a line command in global configuration mode.
This mode applies in the environments for multicasting; IP addresses and services; and authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA). For information on these areas, see Cisco IOS XR Multicast
Configuration Guide, the Cisco IOS XR IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide, or
Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.
For line template configuration, you can add a variety of characteristics to terminal services, such as
setting up physical and virtual terminal connections, managing terminals, and configuring virtual
terminal line (vty) pools.
For example, use the width command to set the width of the display terminal to 99 characters:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# line default
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-line)# width 99
For example, specify the default outgoing transport protocol to be the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol by
using the transport preferred command:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# line default
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-line)# transport preferred ssh

LMP Datalink Adjacency Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-mpls-ouni-if-adj)
Enter the configuration mode for LMP datalink adjacency from the interface mode of MPLS O-UNI.
For example, configure the transport network address (TNA) for an Optical User Network Interface
(O-UNI) datalink. Configure the datalink for POS interface 0/1/0/1 to the TNA 194.169.4.7:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls optical-uni
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni)# interface pos 0/1/0/1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni-if)# lmp data-link adjacency
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni-if-adj)# tna ipv4 194.169.4.7

LMP Neighbor Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ouni-nbr-neighbor-name)
Enter Link Management Protocol (LMP) neighbor configuration mode for Optical User Network
Interface (O-UNI) by using the lmp neighbor command in MPLS O-UNI configuration mode. The LMP
neighbor configuration prompt contains the name of the neighbor that you provide as an argument to the
lmp neighbor command.
For example, configure a neighbor called router1 to have a node ID of 192.166.21.14:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls optical-uni
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni)# lmp neighbor router1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ouni-nbr-router1)# remote node-id 192.166.21.14

MPLS LDP Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp)
Enter MPLS Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) configuration mode from global configuration mode.

Cisco IOS XR Command Modes Reference

CMR-17
 Cisco IOS XR Command Mode Descriptions
User Configuration Modes

In an MPLS network, LDP provides a standard methodology for hop-by-hop (or dynamic label)
distribution by assigning labels to routes that have been chosen by the underlying Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) routing protocols. The resulting labeled paths, called label switch paths (LSPs), forward
the labeled traffic across an MPLS backbone.
In MPLS LDP configuration mode, you can:
• Enter other modes (such as label mode or log configuration mode)
• Configure certain LDP features or parameters, such as MPLS graceful-restart, back-off of
successive setup attempts, and logging of various services
For example, enter MPLS LDP configuration mode and then enable graceful restart. (To allow non-stop
forwarding during an LDP communication failure and then trigger a restart, enable graceful restart.)
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls ldp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# graceful-restart

For example, specify an initial backoff of 30 seconds and a maximum backoff of 240 seconds. (Backoff
prevents two incompatibly configured routers from engaging in unthrottled setup failures by delaying
successive attempts with exponentially increasing delays.)
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls ldp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# backoff 30 240

MPLS LDP Interface Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp-if)
Enter MPLS LDP interface configuration mode from global configuration or MPLS LDP configuration
mode to enable LDP on an interface or to configure interface-related LDP parameters.
For example, use discovery transport-address to specify IP address 10.10.3.1 as the transport address
on POS interface 0/1/0/0:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls ldp interface POS 0/1/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-if)# discovery transport-address 10.10.3.1

MPLS LDP Label Accept Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp-lbl-acpt)
Enter label accept configuration mode by using the label accept command in MPLS LDP configuration
mode. In the label accept mode, you can control the receipt of labels (remote bindings) for a set of
prefixes from a peer.
For example, first enter MPLS LDP configuration mode by using the mpls ldp command in global
configuration mode. Next, enter the label accept mode by using the label accept command.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls ldp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# label accept
RP/0/9/CPU0:LDP1(config-ldp-lbl-acpt)#

For example, configure an inbound label filtering policy. In this example, an LSR is configured to accept
and retain the following label bindings and prefixes:
• Prefix 192.168.1.1 (pfx_acl_1) from peer 1.1.1.1
• Prefix 192.168.2.2 (pfx_acl_2) from peer 2.2.2.2
• Prefixes 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.2, 192.168.3.3 (pfx_acl_3) from peer 3.3.3.3

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-acpt)# for pfx_acl_3 from 3.3.3.3

MPLS LDP Label Advertise Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp-lbl-advt)
Enter label advertise configuration mode by using the label advertise command in MPLS LDP configuration
mode. In the label advertise mode, you can control the advertisement of local labels.
For the first example, disable the advertisement of all locally assigned labels to all peers:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# label advertise
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)# disable

For example, send labels only for prefixes 10.1.1.0 and 20.1.1.0 (pfx_acl1) to all peers:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp)# label advertise
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)# disable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)# for pfx_acl_1

MPLS LDP Label Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp-lbl)
Enter Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) label configuration mode from MPLS LDP configuration mode.
In this mode, you can enter a submode to perform the configuration tasks of either controlling the
advertisement of local labels (outbound label filtering) or controlling the receipt of labels (remote
bindings) for a set of prefixes from a given peer (inbound label filtering). These available submodes are
called label advertise mode and label accept mode. Moreover, LDP local label allocation configuration
can also be entered directly under this mode.
For example, enter MPLS LDP label configuration submode and then configure local label allocation
policy, or enter advertise or accept configuration submodes:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls ldp label
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl)#

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl)# label allocate for pfx_acl

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl)# accept
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-acpt)#

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl)# advertise
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ldp-lbl-advt)#

MPLS LDP Log Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-ldp-log)
Enter MPLS LDP log configuration mode by using the mpls ldp log command in global configuration
mode. In this mode, you can enable logging for several features. These logs can be enabled to accumulate
information related to a neighbor, graceful-restart, or session-protection.
For example, enter LDP log configuration mode:
RP/0/9/CPU0:LDP1(config)# mpls ldp log

MPLS OAM Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-oam)
Enter the configuration mode for MPLS Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) by using
the mpls oam command in EXEC mode. In MPLS OAM mode, for example, you can configure OAM
tasks for learning the routes that packets follow when travelling to their destinations, setting the echo
packet revision, and enabling label switched path (LSP) verification commands.
For example, enable MPLS OAM:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(configure)# mpls oam
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-oam)#

After entering MPLS OAM mode, disable the transmission of vendor extension type length and value
(TLV) in the echo request, use the echo disable-vendor extension command in MPLS OAM
configuration submode. For example, disable inclusion of the vendor extensions TLV in echo requests:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-oam)# echo disable-vendor-extension
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-oam)#

MPLS O-UNI Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-mpls-ouni)
Enter MPLS optical UNI (O-UNI) configuration mode by using the mpls optical-uni command in global
configuration mode. The MPLS O-UNI mode is an intermediate mode to other modes, in which you can
configure MPLS O-UNI. From MPLS O-UNI mode, you can go to either the interface submode or the
neighbor submode of the MPLS O-UNI mode.
To configure or update a new or existing O-UNI-specific Link Management Protocol (LMP) neighbor
and its associated parameters, use the lmp neighbor command in MPLS O-UNI configuration mode.
For example, create a neighbor called router1. The CLI enters LMP neighbor configuration mode from
O-UNI configuration mode. In this neighbor submode, configure a node ID of 192.68.22.12.
RP2/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls optical-uni
RP2/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni)# mpls optical-uni lmp neighbor router1
RP2/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ouni-nbr-router1)# remote node-id 192.68.22.12

MPLS O-UNI Interface Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-mpls-ouni-if)
Enter the interface submode for MPLS optical UNI (O-UNI) by using the interface command in MPLS
optical UNI mode.
For example, configure the POS interface 0/1/0/0 to be a passive end of an O-UNI:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# mpls optical-uni
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mpls-ouni)# interface POS 0/1/0/1

Enter the configuration mode for a particular instance of a data border element (DBE) by using the dbe
command in SBC configuration mode. The DBE mode and applicable commands pertain to the media
gateway tasks of SBC.
If the specified DBE does not exist, the first-time use of the dbe command with the new name creates
the new DBE. If you plan to create both a DBE and an SBE on a card, you must create the DBE first.
For example, enter the DBE configuration mode for an SBC service instance named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc)# dbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router (config-sbc-dbe)#

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-dbe-vdbe)#

SBC Virtual DBE H248 Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-dbe-vdbe-h248)
Enter the mode for specifying an H248 controller by using the controller h248 command in virtual data
border element (vDBE) configuration mode.

Note The current release supports only one (global) vDBE, so you cannot partition DBE resources and do not
need to specify a vDBE name. The example reflects the global vDBE and absence of a vDBE name.

For example, configure two DBE H248 controllers within the SBC instance named mySBC. Identify the
first controller by the unique index number 1. Identify the second controller by the number 2:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC dbe vdbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-dbe-vdbe)# controller h248 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-dbe-vdbe-h248)# end

Session Border Controller SBE Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe)
Enter the signaling border element (SBE) configuration mode for an SBC instance by using the sbe
command in SBC configuration mode. The SBE mode and applicable commands pertain to the signaling
aspects of a particular SBC instance.
In the current release, you can configure:
• A DBE and an SBE on the same card. If you create both a DBE and an SBE, you must first configure
the DBE.
• A standalone SBE on a card. If you want to add a DBE after adding a standalone SBE, you must first
delete the SBE and then add the DBE, followed by the SBE.
For example, enter SBE configuration mode for the SBC service instance named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc)# sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)#

SBC SBE Routing Policy Configuration Mode

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# routing-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy)#

SBC RADIUS Account Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-acc)
Enter the mode for creating and configuring a RADIUS accounting client by using the radius-account
command in signaling border element (SBE) configuration mode. Each client maintains a list of servers
consisting of one active server and a set of standby servers. The list is traversed by the client in the order
of user-configured priorities. If the named client does not exist, using the radius-account command
creates it.
If call detail reports (CDRs) must be sent to multiple RADIUS servers simultaneously, you can configure
an SBC instance to have multiple clients (each with its own ordered set of servers).
An accounting client sends a CDR to the active server. If the active server cannot be contacted, a standby
server is used.
For example, create a RADIUS accounting client named radius1. The radius1 client belongs to the SBC
service instance named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# radius-account radius1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-acc)#

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-adj-h323)
Enter the mode for configuring a signaling border element (SBE) H.323 adjacency within an SBC
service instance by using the adjacency h323 command in SBE configuration mode. If a particular
adjacency does not exist, the first-time identification of the adjacency to this command creates it.
For example, create an H.323 adjacency called h323ToIsp42 for the SBC service instance called mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# adjacency h323 h323ToIsp42
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-adj-h323)#

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-adj-sip)
Enter the configuration mode for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) by using the adjacency sip command
in signaling border element (SBE) configuration mode. If this SIP adjacency does not exist, using this
command creates it.
For example, create an SIP adjacency called SipToIsp42 for the SBC service instance named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# adjacency sip SipToIsp42

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy)
Enter the mode for configuring call admission control (CAC) policy set by using the cac-policy-set
command in signaling border element (SBE) configuration mode. If the CAC policy does not exist, this
command creates it. If a policy is marked as complete, you cannot change it. Further, a policy set cannot
be destroyed if it is marked as complete.
For example, create an empty (new) policy set with an ID of 1 for the SBC service instance named
mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# cac-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy)#

SBC CAC Table Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy-cactable)
Enter the mode for configuring a call admission control (CAC) table by using the cac-policy-table
command in CAC policy configuration mode. A CAC table exists within the context of a CAC policy
set. The CAC policy set exists within a signaling border element (SBE). If the named CAC table does
not exist, this command creates it.
If a policy set to which a table belongs is marked as being complete, you cannot modify the CAC table.
Also, a CAC table cannot be destroyed if its context is that of a complete policy.
For example, create the CAC table named MyCacTable for the CAC policy set whose ID is 1. The SBC
service instance is named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySBC sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# cac-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy)# cac-table MyCacTable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy-cactable)#

SBC CAC Table Entry Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-cacpolicy-cactable-entry)

SBC Routing Policy Number Analysis Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable)
Enter the configuration mode of a number analysis table within the context of a signaling border element
(SBE) routing policy set. In this mode, you can create or configure a table that consists of all of the
following types of content:
• Destination number—the whole called number (by using the na-dst-number-table command)
• Destination prefix—the prefix of the called number (by using the na-dst-prefix-table command)
• Source adjacency—by using the na-src-adjacency-table command
• Source account—by using the na-src-account-table command
If the identified number analysis table does not exist, this command creates it. Within a policy set, a table
name must be unique across all tables.
For example, create a number analysis table named MyNaTable with entries that are to be matched
against the entire dialed number. In this case, the number of the routing policy is 1, and the SBC service
instance is named mySBC:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySbc sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# routing-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy)# na-dst-number-table MyNaTable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable)#

SBC Routing Policy Number Analysis Entry Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable-entry)
Enter the mode for configuring an entry to a number analysis table within the context of an SBE routing
policy set by using the entry command. The mode in which you use the entry command is a number
analysis table configuration mode.
To use the entry command, first specify a number analysis table that applies to a destination number,
destination prefix, source adjacency, or source account. When you enter one of the commands from the
preceding list, the prompt shows only that you are configuring for a number analysis table (not the type
of number analysis table), and when you subsequently use the entry command for one of these types of
number analysis constituents, the prompt changes to show only “entry.” The examples illustrate this
progression.
Within a number analysis table, each entry must have a unique number.
For example, create the first entry (entry number = 1) in a new destination prefix number analysis table
named MyNaTable. The MyNaTable table belongs to routing policy set 1.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySbc sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# routing-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy)# na-dst-prefix-table MyNaTable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable)# entry 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable-entry)#

Create an entry for a source adjacency number analysis table called MyOtherNaTable. The
MyOtherNaTable table belongs to a routing policy set with an ID of 1.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySbc sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# routing-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy)# na-src-adjacency-table MyOtherNaTable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-natable)# entry 1

RP/0/RP1/CPU0:router(admin-config-sdr:testbed)#

SBC Routing Policy Routing Table Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-rtgtable)
Enter the SBE routing policy routing table configuration mode by using any of the following commands
in routing policy mode:
• rtg-dst-address-table
• rtg-src-address-table
• rtg-src-adjacency-table
• rtg-src-account-table
• rtg-round-robin-table
Any of these commands places the CLI in the routing table mode for specifying entries within a routing
table. The command you can subsequently use for configuring a table entry is the entry command.
For example, create a source address table called MyRtgTable. The SBC service instance is called
mySBC, and the routing policy set ID is 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# sbc mySbc sbe
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe)# routing-policy-set 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy)# rtg-src-address-table MyRtgTable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-rtgtable)#

SBC Routing Policy Routing Table Entry Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-rtgtable-entry)
Enter the mode for specifying entries in a routing policy routing table by using the entry command in

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sbc-sbe-rtgpolicy-rtgtable-enable)#

Session Group Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-bgp-sngrp)
Enter the session group configuration mode by using the session-group command in router
configuration mode. In session group configuration mode, you can configure values that are independent
of address family configuration. In turn, neighbors can inherit these configured values.
The session-group command allows you to create a session group from which neighbors can inherit an
address family-independent configuration. A neighbor inherits the configuration from a session group
by way of the use command. If a neighbor is configured to use a session group, the neighbor (by default)
inherits the session group’s entire configuration. A neighbor does not inherit all the configuration from
a session group if a configuration is done directly on that neighbor.
For example, define a session group named session1, and then configure neighbor 172.168.40.24 to use
session1. Consequently, the session1 configuration also takes effect on the neighbor.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# session-group session1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# advertisement-interval 40
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# timers 30 90
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-sngrp)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.168.40.24
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# use session-group session1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# exit

SONET/SDH Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sonet)
Enter SONET/SDH configuration mode from global configuration mode by using the controller sonet
command and providing it with the interface identifier.
For example, all packets are looped back to the SONET/SDH controller:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller sonet 0/2/0/2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# loopback internal

To set the SONET/SDH overhead bytes in the frame header to a specific standards requirement or to
ensure interoperability with equipment from another vendor, use the overhead command.
For example, set the s1s0 keyword to 2 for SDH. (The s1s0 keyword defines the S1 and S0 bits for the
SONET/SDH transmission equipment. 0=SONET, and 2=SDH.)
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller sonet 0/1/0/1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# overhead sls0 2

SONET/SDH Path Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-sonet-path)
Enter SONET/SDH path configuration mode from SONET/SDH configuration mode by using the path
command. After the CLI enters SONET/SDH path configuration mode, you can run the following
SONET/SDH-specific commands: ais-shut, overhead, report, scrambling, threshold, and uneq-shut.
The SONET/SDH standards permit or require user access for configuration of some bytes or bits in the
SONET/SDH path overhead. Use the overhead command to set the SONET/SDH path overhead bytes
in the frame header to a specific standards requirement.
For example, use the overhead command to set the SONET/SDH path overhead bytes in the frame
header. In this case, set the c2 value to 0x13t:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# controller sonet 0/2/0/2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet)# path
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-sonet-path)# overhead c2 0x13

Subinterface Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-subif)
Enter the interface submode from global configuration mode to configure a variety of technologies, such
as virtual local area network (VLAN).

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto ipsec transport
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-transport)# profile pn1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface tunnel-ipsec0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# profile pn1

Trustpoint Configuration Mode

Prompt: (config-trustp)
Enter the trustpoint configuration mode from global configuration mode. Use the crypto ca trustpoint
command to create a new trustpoint or identify an existing trustpoint for you to modify. After you use
this command, the CLI enters trustpoint configuration mode. In this mode, the available commands are
enrollment retry count, enrollment retry period, enrollment url, query url, and rsakeypair.
For example, use the crypto ca trustpoint command to create a trustpoint called myca:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto ca trustpoint myca
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-trustp)# enrollment url http://myca.mydomain.com

For example, declare a certification authority (CA); change the retry period to 10 minutes; and change
the retry count to 60 retries.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto ca trustpoint myca
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-trustp)# enrollment url http://ca_server
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-trustp)# enrollment retry period 10
