About This Chapter

IP Addresses Configuration

By assigning IP addresses to network devices, you can enable data communications between the network devices. 1.1 Introduction to IP Addresses IP is the core of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The packets of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), and Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) are all transmitted in the format of IP datagrams. Devices on different networks communicate with each other using their network layer addresses, namely IP addresses. 1.2 Features of IP Addresses Supported by the S7700 IP addresses can be obtained through static manual configuration or borrowing. 1.3 Configuring IP Addresses for Interfaces Assigning an IP address to a device on a network enables the device to communicate with the other devices on the network. 1.4 Configuring IP Address Unnumbered for Interfaces IP address unnumbered refers to the situation that an interface that is not assigned an IP address obtains an IP address by borrowing an IP address from another interface. 1.5 Configuration Examples This section provides several examples of IP address configuration.

1 IP Addresses Configuration

1.1 Introduction to IP Addresses


IP is the core of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The packets of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), and Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) are all transmitted in the format of IP datagrams. Devices on different networks communicate with each other using their network layer addresses, namely IP addresses. To communicate with each other on Internet Protocol (IP) networks, each host must be assigned an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number that is composed of two parts, namely, the network ID and host ID. The network ID identifies a network and the host ID identifies a host on the network. If the network IDs of hosts are the same, it indicates that the hosts are on the same network regardless of their physical locations.

1.2 Features of IP Addresses Supported by the S7700


IP addresses can be obtained through static manual configuration or borrowing. The S7700 supports IP address configuration through the following methods: l l Manually configuring an IP address for an interface Borrowing an IP address from other interfaces

The S7700 supports the space overlapping of network segment addresses to save the address space. l Different IP addresses in the overlapped network segments but not same can be configured on different interfaces of the same device. For example, after an interface on a device is configured with the IP address 20.1.1.1/16, if another interface is configured with the IP address 20.1.1.2/24, the system prompts a message. However, the configuration is still successful; if another interface is configured with the IP address 20.1.1.2/16, the system prompts an IP address conflict. The configuration fails. The primary IP address and the secondary IP address in the overlapped network segments but not same can be configured on the same interface. For example, after the interface is configured with a primary IP address 20.1.1.1/24, if the secondary IP address is 20.1.1.2/16 sub, the system prompts a message. However, the configuration is still successful. The primary IP address and the secondary IP address in the overlapped network segments but not same can be configured on different interfaces of the same device. However, the primary IP address and the secondary IP address cannot be the same. For example, after an interface on a device is configured with the IP address 20.1.1.1/16, if another interface is configured with the IP address 20.1.1.2/24 sub, the system prompts a message. However, the configuration is still successful.

The S7700 supports 31-bit IP address masks. Therefore, there are only two IP addresses in a network segment, that is, the network address and broadcast address. The two IP addresses can be used as host addresses.

1.3 Configuring IP Addresses for Interfaces


Assigning an IP address to a device on a network enables the device to communicate with the other devices on the network.

1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for assigning an IP address to an interface.

Applicable Environment
To start IP services on an interface, configure the IP address for the interface. You can assign several IP addresses to each interface. Among them, one is the primary IP address and the others are secondary IP addresses. Generally, you need to configure only a primary IP address for an interface. Secondary IP addresses, however, are required in some cases. For instance, when a device connects to a physical network through an interface, and computers on this network belong to two Class C networks, you need to configure a primary IP address and a secondary IP address for this interface to ensure that the device can communication with all computers on this network.

Pre-configuration Tasks

1.4 Configuring IP Address Unnumbered for Interfaces


IP address unnumbered refers to the situation that an interface that is not assigned an IP address obtains an IP address by borrowing an IP address from another interface.

1.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for configuring IP address unnumbered.

Applicable Environment
To save IP address resources in some cases, configure the IP address unnumbered on the interface. You can also perform this configuration for an interface that is occasionally used rather than making the interface occupy an IP address constantly. Restrictions on configuring IP address unnumbered on an interface are as follows: l l l l l l The interface of IP address borrower can not be an Ethernet interface. The interface of IP address lender cannot be IP address from other. Multiple interfaces can borrow the IP address from the interface of IP address lender. If the interface of IP address lender has multiple IP addresses, the IP address lender can only be the primary IP address. If the interface of IP address borrower borrows an IP address from the interface with no IP address, the IP address borrower gets the IP adderss 0.0.0.0. The IP address of the virtual loopback interface can be borrowed by other interfaces. The loopback interface, however, cannot borrow the IP address from other interfaces.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IP address unnumbered on an interface, complete the following tasks: l l Configuring physical attributes for the IP address borrower and lender Configuring link layer protocols for the IP address borrower and lender

Data Preparation
To configure IP address unnumbered on an interface, you need the following data.

2 ARP Configuration

2.1 Overview of ARP


An Ethernet device must support ARP. ARP implements dynamic mapping between Layer 3 IP addresses and Layer 2 MAC addresses. Each host or device on the Local Area Network (LAN) can be configured a 32-bit IP address to communicate with others. The assigned IP address is independent of the hardware address. On the Ethernet, a host or a device transmits and receives Ethernet frames according to a 48-bit Medium Access Control (MAC) address. The MAC address is also called the physical address or the hardware address, which is assigned to an Ethernet interface when equipment is produced. Therefore, on an interconnected network, an address resolution mechanism is required to provide the mapping between MAC addresses and IP addresses. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) maps an IP address to the corresponding MAC address.

2.2 Features of ARP Supported by the S7700


ARP can operate in either of two modes: static and dynamic. The extensions of ARP include proxy ARP, gratuitous ARP, and ARP-Ping. ARP is only used in the IPv4 environment and can only run on Ethernet links.

Introduction to ARP-Ping
ARP-Ping consists of ARP-Ping IP and ARP-Ping MAC. ARP-Ping is developed to maintain the deployed Layer 2 features.

Introduction to ARP-Ping IP
ARP-Ping IP uses ARP packets to check whether an IP address is used by another device on the LAN. Before configuring an IP address for a device, you need to check that this IP address is not used by another device on the network by sending the ARP packets. Then, you can take appropriate actions. You can also run the ping command to check whether the IP address is used by another device on the network. If enabled with the firewall function that does not reply to Ping packets, the destination host and device do not reply to Ping packets and think that the IP address is not in use. ARP is a Layer 2 protocol. In most cases, ARP packets can pass through the firewall. In this way, the preceding situation does not occur.

Principles of ARP-Ping IP
ARP-Ping IP sends ARP Request packets. The following describes how to implement ARP-Ping IP: 1. 2. After setting the specified IP address through command lines, you can send ARP Request packets and start the timeout timer. After receiving an ARP Request packet, each device or host on the LAN replies with an ARP Reply packet.

After receiving the ARP Reply packet, the source device compares the source IP address contained in the Reply packet with the IP address input in the command line. If they are consistent, the MAC address corresponding to the input IP address is displayed and the timeout timer of ARP Reply packets is disabled. The operation finishes. If the timeout timer of ARP Reply packets times out, it means that the IP address is not in use.

As shown in Figure 2-1, Switch A and Gigabitethernet A are directly connected. You can run the arp-ping ip command on Switch A to check whether the IP address 10.1.1.2 is in use. Figure 2-1 Implementation procedure of ARP-Ping IP

Host B

Host A

10.1.1.3/32 10.1.1.2/32 GE1/0/0 10.1.1.1/24

SwitchA Gigabitethernet A

Run the arp-ping ip 10.1.1.2 command on Switch A. After receiving the ARP Reply packet from Host A 10.1.1.2 on the network, Switch A displays the MAC address of Host A.Switch A displays the MAC address of Node B. Through the command output, you can know whether the IP address is used by another host on the network.
NOTE

Introduction to ARP-Ping MAC


ARP-Ping MAC uses ICMP packets to check whether a MAC address is used by another device on the LAN. When you know a specific MAC address on a network segment but do not know the corresponding IP address, you can obtain the IP address corresponding to the MAC address by sending the broadcast Internet Control Messages Protocol (ICMP) packets through ARP-Ping MAC. In this way, you can query the IP address corresponding to the specific MAC address on the network segment.

Principles of ARP-Ping MAC


ARP-Ping MAC sends broadcast ICMP Echo Request packets. The following describes how to implement ARP-Ping MAC: 1. After setting the specified MAC address through the command line, you can send broadcast ICMP Echo Request packets and start the timeout timer.

2. 3.

After receiving an ICMP Echo Request packet, each device or host on the LAN replies with an ICMP Echo Reply packet. After receiving the ICMP Echo Reply packet, the source device compares the source MAC address contained in the Echo Reply packet with the MAC address input in the command line. If they are consistent, the IP address of the Echo Reply packet is displayed. Then the source device prompts you that the MAC address is in use and disables the timeout timer. The operation finishes. If the timeout timer of the ICMP Echo Reply packets times out, it means that the MAC address is not in use.
NOTE

If the system denies the request for replying with the network segment address, the sender cannot receive the ICMP Echo Reply packet.

As shown in Figure 2-2, Switch A and Gigabitethernet A are directly connected. You can run the arp-ping mac command on Switch A to check whether the MAC address 0013-46E7-2EF5 is in use. Figure 2-2 Implementation procedure of ARP-Ping MAC

Host A
0013-46E7-2EF5 GE1/0/0 10.1.1.1/24

SwitchA Gigabitethernet A

The following describes how to implement ARP-Ping MAC on Switch A: Run the arp-ping mac 0013-46E7-2EF5 10.1.1.0 or arp-ping mac 0013-46E7-2EF5 gigabitethernet 1/0/0 command on Switch A. After receiving the ICMP Reply packets replied by all the hosts on the network, Switch A displays the IP address of the host with the MAC address 0013-46E7-2EF5. Through the command output, you can obtain the IP address corresponding to the MAC address.
NOTE

The arp-ping mac command is applicable to the outgoing interface in one of the following types: the Ethernet interface, Gigabit Ethernet interface, Eth-Trunk interface, and VLANIF interface.

2.3 Configuring Static ARP


Static ARP indicates that there is a fixed mapping between an IP address and a MAC address. Static ARP needs to be configured by an administrator.

2 ARP Configuration

2.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for configuring static ARP.

Applicable Environment
Static ARP is used in the following situations: l For the packets whose destination IP address is on another network segment, static ARP can help these packets traverse a gateway of the local network segment so that the gateway can forward the packets to their destination. When you need to filter out some packets with illegitimate destination IP addresses, static ARP can bind these illegitimate addresses to a nonexistent MAC address.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring ARP, complete the following tasks: l l l Configuring physical parameters for the interface and ensuring that the status of the physical layer of the interface is Up Configuring link layer protocol parameters for the interface and ensuring that the status of the link layer protocol on the interface is Up Configuring the network layer protocol for the interface

Data Preparation
To configure ARP, you need the following data. No. 1 2 Data IP address and MAC address of the static ARP entry VPN instance name and VLAN ID to which the static ARP entry belongs

2.3.2 Configuring Common Static ARP Entries


Static ARP entries are required for the communication between common interfaces.

Context
If static ARP and the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) are enabled on a device simultaneously, the virtual IP address of the VRRP backup group configured on the VLANIF interface cannot be the IP address contained in the static ARP entries; otherwise, incorrect host routes are generated and thus packets cannot be normally forwarded.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


arp static ip-address mac-address

Configure common static ARP entries.


NOTE

Static ARP entries keep valid when a device works normally.

----End

2.3.3 Configuring Static ARP Entries in a VLAN


In the scenario where two users belong to the same VLAN but user isolation is configured in the VLAN, to implement communications between the two users, you need to enable static ARP within the VLAN on the member interface of the VLAN.

Context
If static ARP and the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) are enabled on a device simultaneously, the virtual IP address of the VRRP backup group configured on the VLAN interface cannot be the IP address contained in the static ARP entries; otherwise, incorrect host routes are generated and thus packets cannot be normally forwarded.
NOTE

To configure static ARP for the packets with double tags, run the arp static cevid command. For details, see the Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Command Reference - Ethernet.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Configure static ARP entries in a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). To configure static ARP entries in a VLAN, do as follows: l Run the arp static ip-address mac-address [ vid vlan-id interface interface-type interfacenumber ] command. To configure static ARP entries for VLANIF interfaces, if an ARP entry contains only the IP address and MAC address, and the VLAN ID and outbound interface of the ARP packet are not specified, the system selects the outbound interface automatically. If the VLAN ID and outbound interface are specified, the system forwards the packet from the specified outbound interface. If the interface corresponding to the VLAN is bound to a Virtual Private Network (VPN), the device can automatically associate the configured static ARP entry with the VPN. This command is applicable to port-based VLANs. l Run the arp static ip-address mac-address [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] vid vlanid command.

2.3.4 Configuring Static ARP Entries in a VPN Instance


To implement Layer 2 interworking of the devices in a VPN instance, you can configure static ARP in the VPN instance.

Context
If static ARP and the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) are enabled on a device simultaneously, the virtual IP address of the VRRP backup group configured on the VLANIF interface cannot be the IP address contained in the static ARP entries; otherwise, incorrect host routes are generated and thus packets cannot be normally forwarded.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


arp static ip-address mac-address vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

Configure static ARP entries in a VPN instance.


NOTE

3 DHCP Configuration

3.1 Introduction to DHCP


Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables a client to dynamically obtain a valid IP address.

Overview
Network scales and complexity grow fast, so the network configurations become increasingly complicated. For example, the locations of hosts such as portable computers and wireless network terminals frequently change, and the number of hosts often exceeds the number of available IP addresses. The DHCP is developed to solve the preceding problems. DHCP works in the client/server model. A DHCP client requests the DHCP server for configurations, and the DHCP server sends the configurations to the client. The DHCP protocol requires that the DHCP clients and DHCP server be in the same network segment; therefore, each network segment needs a DHCP server. This wastes resources. DHCP relay achieves address allocation between network segments.

Definition
DHCP server A DHCP server allocates IP addresses to clients. A client sends a packet to the server to request for configurations such as the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. After receiving the packet, the server replies with a packet carrying the corresponding configurations according to policies. Both the Request and Reply packets are encapsulated in UDP packets. DHCP relay agent A DHCP relay agent transparently transmits DHCP broadcast packets between the DHCP clients and DHCP server that are on different network segments.

3.2 DHCP Features Supported by the S7700


The S7700 can be used as a DHCP server or a DHCP relay agent. Table 3-1 describes the DHCP usage scenarios where the S7700 is used. Table 3-1 DHCP usage scenarios Usage DHCP server based on the global address pool DHCP server based on the interface address pool DHCP relay agent Scenario The DHCP clients and DHCP server are on the same network segment or on different network segments. The DHCP clients and DHCP server are on the same network segment. The DHCP clients and DHCP server are different network segments.

3 DHCP Configuration

Using the S7700 as a DHCP Server


The S7700 can function as a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to clients. A client sends a packet to the server to request for configurations such as the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. After receiving the packet, the server replies with a packet carrying the corresponding configurations according to policies. Both the Request and Reply packets are encapsulated in UDP packets. The S7700 allocates IP addresses to clients by using the global address pool or an interface address pool. l Using the global address pool: When an interface of the S7700 receives a DHCP packet from a DHCP client, the S7700 allocates an IP address to the client from the global address pool. For details about configuring the global address pool, see 3.3 Configuring the DHCP Server Based on the Global Address Pool. Using an interface address pool: When an interface of the S7700 receives a DHCP packet from a DHCP client, the S7700 allocates an IP address to the client from the interface address pool. If there is no available address in the interface address pool, the S7700 uses the global address pool that contains the addresses in the interface address pool. For details about configuring the interface address pool, see 3.4 Configuring the DHCP Server Based on the VLANIF Interface Address Pool.
NOTE

The S7700 supports the DHCP snooping function. For details about DHCP snooping, see the Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - Security.

Using the S7700 as a DHCP Relay Agent


When functioning as a DHCP relay agent, the S7700 forwards the DHCP packets to the DHCP servers or clients on different network segments. The DHCP clients on different networks can use one DHCP server. The DHCP relay agent saves costs and facilitates device management. After receiving a DHCP packet from a DHCP client, the S7700 functioning as a DHCP relay agent forwards the DHCP packet to a DHCP server, and then the DHCP server allocates an IP address to the client. For details about configuring the DHCP relay agent, see 3.5 Configuring the DHCP Relay Agent.

Application
The S7700 functions as a DHCP server and is in the same network segment as the DHCP clients. On this network, the DHCP server can use the global address pool or the interface address pool. Figure 3-1 DHCP clients and DHCP server are on the same network segment

When the S7700 functions as the DHCP server based on the global address pool, it must work with the DHCP relay agent.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the DHCP server based on the global address pool, complete the following tasks: l l l l l Ensuring that the link between the DHCP clients and the S7700 works properly and the DHCP clients can communicate with the S7700 (Optional) Configuring the DNS server (Optional) Configuring the NetBIOS server Configuring routes from the S7700 to the DNS server and the NetBIOS server (The routes are required only when the servers are configured.) (Optional) Configuring the customized DHCP option

Data Preparation
Before configuring the DHCP server based on the global address pool, you need the following data. No. 1 Data Address pool name, IP address range, IP address lease, IP addresses not to be allocated in the IP address pool (optional), and IP address and MAC address that need to be statically bound (optional) Egress gateway of the DHCP clients (Optional) IP address of the DNS server and domain name of the DHCP clients

3.3.2 Configuring an Interface to Use Global Address Pool


When a DHCP server receives a DHCP packet from a client, the server can allocate an IP address to the client from the global address pool.

Context
Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


dhcp enable

The DHCP function is enabled. Step 3 Run:


interface vlanif vlan-id

The VLANIF interface view is displayed. Step 4 Run:


ip address ip address { mask | mask-length}

An IP address is allocated to the VLANIF interface. If there is no DHCP relay agent between the DHCP clients and S7700, the S7700 allocates IP addresses that are in the same network segment as the interface address to the clients connected to this interface. If the VLANIF interface is not configured with an IP address or no address pool is on the same network segment as the interface address, the clients cannot go online. If there is a DHCP relay agent between the DHCP clients and S7700, the S7700 parses the gateway address in the received DHCP packets forwarded by the DHCP relay agent. If the gateway address does not match an entry in the address pool, the clients cannot go online. Step 5 Run:
dhcp select global

3 DHCP Configuration

The DHCP function is enabled on the interface and the DHCP server allocates IP addresses to clients by using the global address pool. ----End

3.3.3 Configuring Address Allocation Mode for Global Address Pool


According to the requirements of clients, you can select the static binding mode or the dynamic allocation mode for the address pool, but the two modes cannot be enabled simultaneously for the same IP address in the global address pool.

Context
Up to 256 address pools can be configured on the S7700, including the global address pools and interface address pools. The number of address pools of each type is not limited. To use the dynamic allocation mode, you must specify the range of addresses to be allocated; to use the static binding mode, only one address can be allocated to a client. The global address pool attributes include the IP address range, IP address lease, IP addresses not to be automatically allocated, and IP addresses to be statically bound to MAC addresses. Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ip pool ip-pool-name

The global address pool view is displayed. By default, no global address pool exists on the S7700. Step 3 Run:
network ip-address [ mask { mask | mask-length } ]

The range of IP addresses in the address pool is set. An address pool can contain only one address segment. The address range of the address pool is set by the mask, and must be within the network segment where the gateway is located. Step 4 Run:
lease { day day [ hour hour [ minute minute ] ] | unlimited }

The lease of IP addresses is set. By default, the IP address lease is one day. Different address pools on a DHCP server can be set with different IP address leases, but the IP addresses in one address pool must be set with the same lease. Step 5 (Optional) Run:
excluded-ip-address start-ip-address [ end-ip-address ]

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

3 DHCP Configuration

The IP addresses that cannot be automatically allocated in the DHCP address pool are configured. Some IP addresses are reserved for other services, for example, the IP address of the DNS server cannot be allocated to clients. You can run the excluded-ip-address command to configure the IP addresses that are not allocated in the DHCP address pool. If you run the excluded-ipaddress command multiple times, you can set multiple IP address ranges that cannot be automatically allocated in the DHCP address pool. Step 6 (Optional) Run:
static-bind ip-address ip-address mac-address mac-address

An IP address in the address pool is bound to a MAC address. When a client requires a fixed IP address, bind an idle IP address in the address pool to the MAC address of the client. Step 7 Run:
gateway-list ip-address &<1-8>

The egress gateway is configured for the global address pool.


NOTE

To load balance the traffic and improve the reliability of the network, you can configure multiple egress gateways. An IP address pool can be configured with up to eight gateway addresses. The gateway address cannot be a broadcast address of a subnet. When configuring an egress gateway address for the address pool on a DHCP server, ensure that this egress gateway address is the same as the egress gateway address of the DHCP relay agent.

----End

3.3.4 (Optional) Configuring DNS for Global Address Pool


Each client has a domain name. To enable DHCP clients to communicate by using their domain names and prevent IP address conflicts, the DHCP server needs to specify domain names for these clients when allocating IP addresses to them.

Context
On the DHCP server, the domain-name command specifies a domain name for each global address pool. When allocating IP addresses to clients, the DHCP server also sends the domain names to the clients. During domain name resolution, users only need to enter a part of the domain name, and then the system uses a complete domain name for resolution. Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ip pool ip-pool-name

The IP address pool view is displayed.


Issue 01 (2011-07-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 52

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

3 DHCP Configuration

Step 3 Run:
domain-name domain-name

The DNS domain name to be allocated to the DHCP client is configured. On the DHCP server, you can specify a DNS domain name for each address pool. If the DNS domain name is configured, the DNS server used by the DHCP client is also specified. Step 4 Run:
dns-list ip-address &<1-8>

The IP address of the DNS server is configured for the DHCP client. To load balance the traffic and improve the reliability of the network, configure multiple DNS servers. Each address pool can be configured with a maximum of eight DNS servers. ----End

3.3.5 (Optional) Configuring NetBIOS for Global Address Pool


DHCP clients running on the Microsoft Windows operating system use the Network Basic Input Output System (NetBIOS) protocol for communication. The NetBIOS server translates host names to IP addresses for the clients.

Context
Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.
NOTE

NetBIOS: Network Basic Input Output System.

When a DHCP client uses the NetBIOS protocol for communication, the host names must be mapped to IP addresses. Based on the modes of obtaining mapping, NetBIOS nodes are classified into the following types: l l l l b-node: indicates a node in broadcast mode. This node obtains the mappings in broadcast mode. p-node: indicates a node in peer-to-peer mode. This node obtains the mappings by communicating with the NetBIOS server. m-node: indicates a node in mixed mode, that is, the p-type node with some broadcast features. h-node: indicates a node in hybrid mode, that is, a b-type node enabled with the end-to-end communication mechanism.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:

3 DHCP Configuration

The IP addresses that cannot be automatically allocated in the DHCP address pool are configured. Some IP addresses are reserved for other services, for example, the IP address of the DNS server cannot be allocated to clients. You can run the dhcp server excluded-ip-address command to exclude these IP addresses. If you run the dhcp server excluded-ip-address command multiple times, you can set multiple IP address ranges that cannot be automatically allocated in the DHCP address pool. Step 8 (Optional) Run:
dhcp server static-bind ip-address ip-address mac-address mac-address

An IP address in the address pool is bound to a MAC address. When a client requires a fixed IP address, bind an idle IP address in the address pool to the MAC address of the client. ----End

3.4.3 (Optional) Configuring the DNS Service of the VLANIF Interface Address Pool
Each client has a domain name. To enable DHCP clients to communicate by using their domain names and prevent IP address conflicts, the DHCP server needs to specify domain names for these clients when allocating IP addresses to them.

Context
On the DHCP server, the dhcp server domain-name command specifies a domain name for each interface address pool. When allocating IP addresses to clients, the DHCP server also sends the domain names to the clients. During domain name resolution, users only need to enter a part of the domain name, and then the system uses a complete domain name for resolution. Perform the following steps on the DHCP server.

3.5 Configuring the DHCP Relay Agent


By using a DHCP relay agent, the DHCP clients on a local area network (LAN) can communicate with the DHCP servers on other network segments, and obtain IP addresses from them. The DHCP clients on different network segments can also use one DHCP server. This reduces costs and achieves centralized device management.

3.5.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Before configuring the DHCP relay agent, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This helps you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
If no DHCP server is configured on the local network, the DHCP relay function can be enabled on an S7700 to forward DHCP Request packets to the DHCP servers on other networks. To ensure that the DHCP clients obtain IP addresses, the DHCP server must use a global address pool, and no address pool can be configured on the interface connected to the DHCP relay agent.

3.7 Configuration Examples


DHCP configuration examples explain the networking requirements, networking diagram, configuration notes, configuration roadmap, and configuration procedure. The configuration examples involve various usage scenarios of DHCP.

3.7.1 Example for Configuring a DHCP Server Based on the Global Address Pool
This section describes how to configure a global address pool to allocate IP addresses for clients when the clients and DHCP server are in the same network segment.

Networking Requirements
An enterprise has two offices that are in the same network segment. To reduce network construction cost, the enterprise uses one DHCP server to allocate IP addresses for the computers in the two offices. As shown in Figure 3-6, SwitchA functions as the DHCP server, and SwitchB and SwitchC are user access switches. A global address pool or an interface address pool can be configured on SwitchA. This section describes how to configure a global address pool. Address pool 10.1.1.0/24 consists of two network segments: 10.1.1.0/25 and 10.1.1.128/25. The IP addresses of the VLANIF interfaces on the DHCP server are 10.1.1.1/25 and 10.1.1.129/25. There are a few computers in network segment 10.1.1.0/25 and the computer locations are fixed. The lease of an IP address in 10.1.1.0/25 is 10 days, the DNS address is 10.1.1.2, no NetBIOS address is set, and the IP address of the egress gateway is 10.1.1.126. There are many computers in network segment 10.1.1.128/25 and the computers are often moved from one place to another. The lease of an IP address in 10.1.1.128/25 is 2 days, the DNS address is 10.1.1.2, the NetBIOS address is 10.1.1.4, and the IP address of the egress gateway is 10.1.1.254.

3.7.3 Example for Configuring a DHCP Relay Agent


When the DHCP server and DHCP clients are in different network segments, a DHCP relay agent is required.

Networking Requirements
An enterprise has multiple offices, which are distributed in different office buildings. The offices in a building belong to the same local area network (LAN), and the buildings belong to different LANs. The enterprise uses a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to all clients. As shown in Figure 3-8, the DHCP clients are in the network segment 20.20.20.0/24 and the DHCP server is in the network segment 100.10.10.0/24. A Switch enabled with DHCP relay is required between the clients and server. By using the DHCP relay agent, the DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server. The DHCP server and the clients are in different network segments, and an interface-based address pool cannot allocate IP addresses to the clients in different network segments. A global address pool in the network segment 20.20.20.0/24 is required, and the DHCP server must have a reachable route to the network segment 20.20.20.0/24.

3.7.4 Example for Configuring a DHCP Relay Agent for VPN


This section describes how to configure a DHCP relay agent for a VPN.

Networking Requirements
An enterprise establishes a VPN for employees to communicate with each other. The DHCP server is not in the VPN. Users in the VPN need to obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server. As shown in Figure 3-9, the DHCP clients are located in VPNA, which is in network segment 20.20.20.0/24; the DHCP server is located in network segment 10.10.10.0/24. The DHCP packets need to be relayed by the Switch enabled with the DHCP relay function. The DHCP clients on the VPN then can apply for IP addresses from the DHCP server. An address pool containing network segment 20.20.20.0/24 is configured on the DHCP server. The DHCP server has a reachable route to 20.20.20.0/24.

4 IP Session Configuration

4.1 Introduction to the IP Session


This section describes the concepts related to the IP session. IP session, also called DHCP proxy, is an application of the DHCP protocol. It manages DHCP users. l l The DHCP proxy authenticates and authorizes access users with the local, remote (RADIUS or HWTACACS), and non-authentication policies. After the status of access users becomes stable, the DHCP proxy is able to manage the specified user, for example, carry out accounting for the user again or disconnect the user from the network.

Typical Application of IP Session


Figure 4-1 Typical application of IP session

DHCP server

SwitchB

SwitchA AAA server

DHCP clients

As shown in Figure 4-1, SwitchB is the access device of DHCP users, the IP session service is run on the aggregation switch SwitchA. SwitchA allocates IP addresses to users through the DHCP server, and the AAA server authenticates and authorizes users. Thus the users can be online once they power on the computer. The DHCP server can be a remote server or a local server. If a local server is used, it indicates that the S7700 functions as the DHCP server.
NOTE

For the configurations of AAA and user management function on the S7700, see the Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - Security.

4.2 IP Session Supported by the S7700


The S7700 supports the access of IP sessions to Layer 3 sub-interfaces, but does not support the access to main interfaces.
NOTE

At present, the IP session function is only supported on the G48VA, S24XA, T24XA, G24CFAT. A board supporting Layer 3 interfaces can be configured with a maximum of 4096 sessions. Trunk sub-interfaces support IP sessions. The member interfaces of a trunk interface cannot be located on different boards or subcards.

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

4 IP Session Configuration

The S7700 can terminate DHCP packets on sub-interfaces. You can configure a remote DHCP server or a local DHCP server to allocate IP addresses. You need to configure the IP session access function on the Layer 3 sub-interface. This indicates that the sub-interface can terminate DHCP packets. In addition, you need to configure the access domain and authentication mode for the users on this sub-interface. After the IP session function is enabled on the interface, the default values of other parameters are generated automatically. You can change the parameter values through commands. l l l l l l The IP sessions can access sub-interfaces. The DHCP packets can be sent to the CPU. The DHCP packets can be processed, for example, parsed and encapsulated. The users can be authenticated. The users can be charged based on the online duration. The ARP probe can be performed for online users. If a user goes offline abnormally (that is, the user does not request the server to release the address), the S7700 can detect this user by performing ARP probe on online users. Then the S7700 deletes the data of the offline user to ensure the effective resource usage. l Users can join multicast groups. After a DHCP user, maybe IPTV terminal, joins a multicast group, the user can receive the video data normally.

4.3 Configuring IP Session


This section describes how to create an IP session and set related parameters.

4.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, and data preparation for configuring IP session.

Applicable Environment
When a user connects to the S7700, the S7700 authenticates the user, performs lease management, and forwards data.
NOTE

To make access users go online successfully, you must configure a static route between the egress gateway and the DHCP server on the S7700. The address of the egress gateway is set according to the actual situation and the configuration of the static route is described in IP Static Route Configuration.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IP session, complete the following tasks: l l Setting physical parameters of a sub-interface Creating a VPN instance

Data Preparation
To configure IP session, you need the following data.

interface interface-type interface-number.subinterface-number

The sub-interface view is displayed. Step 7 Run:


authentication-domain domain-name

A user authentication domain is bound to the sub-interface. When a user goes online, the S7700 selects the bound domain to authenticate and authorize the user. By default, the user authentication domain bound to a sub-interface is the global default domain. You can change the domain by running the domain command in the system view. ----End

4.3.4 (Optional) Setting the Format of DHCP User Name and the Password
The format of the DHCP user name needs to be set in server authentication.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


dhcp user-name format-include { ip-address | mac-address | option82 | sysname }

The format of the DHCP user name and the sequence of elements in the user name are specified. By default, the DHCP user name is in the following format: system name + "-" + slot ID (two digits, prefixed 0 if it contains only one digit) + subcard ID (one digit, set to 0 if the subcard does not exist) + port number (two digits, prefixed 0 if it contains only one digit) + outer VLAN ID (four digits, prefixed 0 if it contains less than four digits) + inner VLAN ID (five digits, prefixed 0 if it contains less than five digits) + @ + access domain name, for example, Quidway-02024000000768@domain1.

dhcp option82 insert enable

The function of appending the Option 82 field to DHCP messages is enabled. Or, run:
dhcp option82 rebuild enable

The function of forcibly appending the Option 82 field to DHCP messages is enabled. By default, the S7700 does not process the Option 82 field of DHCP messages. After the dhcp option82 insert enable or dhcp option82 rebuild enable command is used, the S7700 replaces the Option 82 field of DHCP messages of the online IP session user. The Option 82 field is generated according to the configuration and is used for sending DHCP messages to the remote DHCP server. Step 4 Run:
dhcp service-policy option60

The service policy associated with the service scheme for users going online is configured. By default, users connected to a sub-interface go online through the service scheme in the domain bound to the sub-interface. After the dhcp service-policy option60 command is used, the S7700 selects the related service policy according to the Option 60 field in DHCP messages. ----End

4 IP Session Configuration

4.3.6 (Optional) Setting ARP Detection Parameters


ARP detection is configured on sub-interfaces. If the ARP detection interval is 0, it indicates that ARP detection is disabled.

Context
By using the DHCP protocol, a server leases IP addresses to clients. The clients then need to apply for new IP addresses when the leases expire. In actual applications, the situation that a client that already has a leased IP address is abnormally disconnected but no release packet is sent to the DHCP server is often encountered. In this case, the S7700 needs to regularly send ARP detection packets to check whether users remain online. Upon the timeout of the ARP detection, users are disconnected. In addition, DHCP Release packets are constructed and sent to the DHCP server to enable the DHCP server to release the IP address.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


interface interface-type interface-number.subinterface-number

The sub-interface view is displayed. Step 3 Run:

About This Chapter

DHCPv6 Configuration

5 DHCPv6 Configuration

5.1 Introduction to DHCPv6


DHCPv6 is designed for IPv6 addressing and is used to allocate IPv6 addresses and other network configuration parameters to hosts.

Advantages of Addresses Allocated by DHCPv6


Compared with other IPv6 address allocation modes (manual configuration and stateless address auto-configuration through the network prefix in router advertisement messages), DHCPv6 has the following advantages: l Controls address allocation better. The device enabled with DHCPv6 can record the address allocated to the host and allocate a special address to the specified host. This facilitates network management. Provides network configuration parameters including the IP address of the DNS server and the domain name for hosts in addition to IPv6 addresses.

Basic Concepts of DHCPv6


l Multicast address In DHCPv6, the client does not need to be configured with the IP address of the DHCPv6 server. Instead, the client locates the DHCPv6 server by sending Solicit messages whose destination address is a multicast address. DHCPv6 uses the following multicast addresses: FF02::1:2 (All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers): indicates the multicast address of all the DHCP servers and relay agents. The address is the link-scoped multicast address and is used for communication between a DHCP client and its neighboring server or relay agent on the link. All the DHCP servers and relay agents are members of the multicast group. FF05::1:3 (All_DHCP_Servers): indicates the multicast address of all the DHCP servers. The address is the site-scoped address and is used for communication between DHCP relay agents and DHCP servers within a site. All DHCP servers within a site are members of this multicast group. l UDP port number DHCPv6 messages are transmitted through UDPv6. DHCP clients listen on port 546 for DHCP messages, and DHCP servers and relay agents listen on port 547 for DHCP messages. l DUID The DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) identifies a DHCPv6-enabled device including the DHCPv6 client and is used for verification between DHCPv6-enabled devices. The S7700 uses the DUID Based on hardware type, Link-layer Address and Time (DUIDLLT) to identify DHCPv6-enabled devices. Figure 5-1 shows the format of the DUID-LLT.

DUID type: The value of the DUID type is 0x0001. Hardware type: The hardware type supported by the device is Ethernet and the value is 0x0006. Time: time when the DUID is generated. Before the DUID is generated, the system time must be configured or the clock source is available. Link layer address: The value is the link layer address of any interface. The interface has a unique link layer address. The link layer address is the MAC address.

5.2 DHCPv6 Features Supported by the S7700


Currently, the S7700 supports only the DHCPv6 relay function, and cannot function as the DHCPv6 server or client.

Typical Networking of DHCPv6


Figure 5-2 shows a typical networking of DHCPv6. The DHCPv6 client communicates with the DHCPv6 server through the link-scoped multicast address to obtain the IPv6 address and other network configuration parameters. If the DHCPv6 server and the DHCPv6 client are located on different links, the DHCPv6 relay agent is required to forward messages. In this case, you do not need to deploy a DHCPv6 server on each link. The costs are thus saved and concentrated management is implemented easily.

DHCPv6 Relay Function Supported by the S7700


l Forwards messages from DHCPv6 clients. If the S7700 is the first-hop DHCPv6 relay agent, it receives DHCPv6 messages from DHCPv6 clients. Then the S7700 resolves, encapsulates, and forwards the received DHCPv6 messages. l Forwards messages from DHCPv6 relay agents. If the S7700 is the non-first-hop DHCPv6 relay agent, it receives DHCPv6 messages from DHCPv6 relay agents. Then the S7700 resolves, encapsulates, and forwards the received DHCPv6 messages. l Forwards messages from DHCPv6 servers. If the S7700 is the last-hop DHCPv6 relay agent, it receives DHCPv6 messages from DHCPv6 servers. Then the S7700 resolves, encapsulates, and forwards the received DHCPv6 messages. l l Appends the remote ID. The S7700 can append or forcibly append the remote ID in Relay-Forward messages. Limits the rate of DHCPv6 messages to be forwarded. To prevent a large number of messages of clients or relay agents from attacking the device, the S7700 can limit the rate of DHCPv6 messages to be forwarded. An alarm is generated when the number of discarded packets exceeds the threshold. l Collects statistics on forwarded DHCPv6 messages. If the S7700 is enabled with the DHCPv6 relay function, the S7700 collects statistics on DHCPv6 messages passing through the DHCP relay agent.

5.3 Configuring DHCPv6 Relay


When the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server are on different links, you need to deploy DHCPv6 relay agents between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server. In this manner, the DHCPv6 relay agents transmit DHCPv6 messages exchanged between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server.

5.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, and data preparation for configuring DHCPv6 relay.

Applicable Environment
When the DHCPv6 client applies to the DHCPv6 server on a different link for the IP address, you need to deploy relay agents between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server. In this manner, the relay agents transmit DHCPv6 messages exchanged between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring DHCPv6 relay, complete the following tasks: l l Configuring the DHCPv6 server Configuring the route between the S7700 and DHCPv6 server

Data Preparation
To configure DHCPv6 relay, you need the following data. No. 1 2 Data Type and number of the interface where DHCPv6 relay is enabled (the interface type is VLANIF) Type and number of the interface where the function of appending the remote ID to DHCPv6 relay messages is enabled (the interface type can be Ethernet, GE, or XGE) (Optional) Maximum transmission rate of DHCPv6 messages and alarm threshold of the number of DHCPv6 messages discarded

5.3.2 Enabling the DHCPv6 Relay Function


You can enable the DHCPv6 relay function on a VLANIF interface of the S7700, set the IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server or the next hop relay agent, and specify the outbound interface of relay messages.

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


dhcp enable

DHCP is enabled. Step 3 Run:


ipv6

The IPv6 packet forwarding capability is enabled. Step 4 Run:


interface vlanif vlan-id

The VLANIF interface view is displayed. Step 5 Run:


ipv6 enable

The IPv6 capability is enabled on the interface. Step 6 Run:


ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address/prefix-length }

The IPv6 address is configured on the interface. Step 7 Run:


dhcpv6 relay destination ipv6-address [ interface interface-type interface-number ]

The DHCPv6 relay function is enabled on the VLANIF interface, the IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server or the next hop relay agent is set, and the outbound interface of relay messages is specified. By default, the DHCPv6 relay function is disabled on a VLANIF interface. l If the configured IPv6 address is a global address or a site address, the outbound interface does not need to be specified. The DHCPv6 server sends the relay messages to the IPv6 address by searching for a route. l If the configured IPv6 address is a local address or a multicast address, the outbound interface of the DHCPv6 server or the next hop relay agent needs to be specified. On the S7700, up to eight interfaces can be enabled with the DHCPv6 relay function and each interface can be configured with up to eight destination addresses. ----End

5.3.3 (Optional) Configuring the Remote ID


The remote ID carries information about a client and identifies a client.

Context
The DHCPv6 server can make decisions about address allocation, parameter setting, and prefix agent according to the remote ID. The format of the remote ID is defined by the vendor. Usually,
Issue 01 (2011-07-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 106

5 DHCPv6 Configuration

the remote ID carries the phone number and user name in a dial-up connection, or the peer IP address and access interface in a point-to-point connection. Currently, a remote ID can contain a maximum of 247 bytes. When the S7700 functions as the DHCPv6 relay agent, it processes the remote ID as follows: l The S7700 directly receives messages from DHCPv6 clients. When constructing a RelayForward message, the S7700 adds the remote ID to the Relay-Forward message according to the configuration. If the Relay-Reply message received by the S7700 from the DHCPv6 server contains the remote ID, the S7700 removes the remote ID from the Relay-Reply message before forwarding it to DHCPv6 clients or other relay agents.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


dhcpv6 remote-id format { default | user-defined text }

The format of the remote ID in DHCPv6 messages is set. By default, the default format of the remote ID in DHCPv6 messages is used. Step 3 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number

The interface view is displayed. The interface can be an Ethernet interface, a GE interface or an XGE interface. Step 4 Run:
dhcpv6 remote-id insert enable

The function of appending the remote ID to DHCPv6 relay messages is enabled. Or, run:
dhcpv6 remote-id rebuild enable

The function of forcibly appending the remote ID to DHCPv6 relay messages is enabled. l After the dhcpv6 remote-id insert enable command is used, if the original DHCPv6 messages do not carry the remote ID, the S7700 appends the remote ID to the DHCPv6 messages. If the original DHCPv6 messages carry the remote ID, the S7700 sends the DHCP messages directly. l After the dhcpv6 remote-id rebuild enable command is used, if the original DHCPv6 messages do not carry the remote ID, the S7700 appends the remote ID to the DHCPv6 messages. If the original DHCPv6 messages carry the remote ID, the S7700 deletes the original remote ID from the DHCP messages and appends a new remote ID to the DHCP messages. If you run the dhcpv6 remote-id insert enable and dhcpv6 remote-id rebuild enable commands simultaneously on an interface, the command that you run later takes effect. ----End

5.3.4 (Optional) Configuring Rate Limit of DHCPv6 Messages


To prevent a large number of messages of clients or relay agents from attacking the device, the S7700 can limit the rate of DHCPv6 messages to be forwarded.

Context
After rate limit of DHCPv6 messages is enabled, excessive DHCPv6 messages are discarded when the rate of DHCPv6 messages exceeds the limit. When the number of discarded DHCPv6 messages exceeds the threshold, the S7700 supports the log function.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:

dhcpv6 packet-rate drop-alarm enable

The alarm function for DHCPv6 messages discarded when the rate of DHCPv6 messages exceeds rate limit. After the log function is enabled, if the number of DHCPv6 messages that pass through the S7700 every second exceeds the rate limit, they are discarded. By default, S7700 sends logs when the number of discarded DHCPv6 messages exceeds 100. Step 5 Run:
dhcpv6 packet-rate drop-alarm threshold threshold

The log threshold for DHCPv6 messages discarded is set when the rate of DHCPv6 messages exceeds rate limit. ----End

5.5 Configuration Examples


This section provides a configuration example of DHCPv6 relay.

5.5.1 Example for Configuring DHCPv6 Relay


This section provides a configuration example of DHCPv6 relay.

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 5-3, the DHCPv6 client address is 2000::/64 and the DHCPv6 server address is 3000::3/64. The DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server are on different links; therefore, a DHCPv6 relay agent is required to forward DHCPv6 messages. It is required that the Switch should function as the DHCPv6 relay agent to forward DHCPv6 messages exchanged between the DHCPv6 client and the DHCPv6 server. In addition, the Switch functions as the gateway device of the network at 2000::/64. By specifying the M flag bit and O flag bit in RA messages, hosts on the network are enabled to obtain IPv6 addresses and other network configuration parameters through DHCPv6.

You can set the following TCP parameters: l SYN-Wait timer: When sending packets with the SYN flag, TCP starts the SYN-Wait timer. If no response is received before the SYN-Wait timer expires, the TCP connection ends. The timeout interval of the TCP SYN-Wait timer is an integer that ranges from 2 to 600, in seconds. By default, the value is 75s. FIN-Wait timer: When the TCP connection status changes from FIN_WAIT_1 to FIN_WAIT_2, the FIN-Wait timer is enabled. If no packet with the FIN flag is received before the FIN-Wait timer expires, the TCP connection ends. The timeout interval of the TCP FIN-Wait timer is an integer that ranges from 76 to 3600, in seconds. By default, the value is 675s. Size of the packet receive or transmit buffer: The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 32, in Kbytes. By default, the value is 8 Kbytes.

If you run the tcp window command repeatedly in the same system view, the latest configuration overrides the previous configuration. Do as follows on the S7700.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:

6.3.6 (Optional) Setting the Load Balancing Mode of IP Packet Forwarding


Context
NOTE

Currently, the S7700 supports only the flow-based load balancing.

When flow-based load balancing mode is adopted, the S7700 performs the Hash algorithm based on the protocol type, source IP address and mask, destination IP address and mask, source port number, and destination port number, and then selects a route for forwarding packets according to the Hash value. By default, the flow-based load balancing mode is adopted. Do as follows on the S7700.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


load-balance flow [ all | slot slot-id ]

The load balancing mode is configured for IP packet forwarding.


NOTE

The value of slot-id can only be 0. That is, on the S7700, you can set the load balancing mode for only the packets sent by the CPU.

7 UDP Helper Configuration

7.1 Introduction to UDP Helper


This section describes the principle of UDP helper. The S7700 on a network needs to obtain network configurations or query the name of another device by sending broadcast packets. The S7700, however, cannot obtain the required information if the S7700 and the server or the device to be queried are in different broadcast domains. To address the preceding problem, the S7700 provides the UDP helper function. Through the UDP helper function, the S7700 can convert broadcast packets on a specified User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port into unicast packets to be sent to a specified destination server, or forward broadcast packets on a subnet to another subnet.

7.2 UDP Helper Features Supported by the S7700


This section describes the UDP Helper features supported by the S7700. After the UDP helper function is enabled on the S7700, the S7700 forwards broadcast packets of six default UDP ports to corresponding destination servers in unicast mode. Other UDP ports must be configured manually. Table 7-1 lists the default ports. Table 7-1 Lists of default UDP ports on which packets are forwarded after the UDP helper function is enabled Protocol Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Domain Name System (DNS) Time Service NetBIOS Name Service (NetBIOSNS) NetBIOS Datagram Service (NetBIOSDS) Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS) UDP Port Number 69 53 37 137

7 UDP Helper Configuration

The UDP helper function cannot be used to send DHCP messages, that is, the number of the UDP port cannot be 67 or 68. To forward Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) messages, you need to enable the DHCP relay function.

7.3 Configuring UDP Helper


This section describes how to configure UDP helper to forward IP broadcast packets of a specified UDP port.

7.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


Applicable Environment
When an S7700 on a network needs to obtain network configurations or query the name of another device by sending broadcast packets, you can enable the UDP helper function if the S7700 and the device to be queried are in different broadcast domains.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the UDP helper function, complete the following task: l Configuring a reachable route between the S7700 and the server

Data Preparation
To configure the UDP helper function, you need the following data. No. 1 2 Data UDP port on which packets are forwarded VLANIF interface and IP address of the destination server that sends packets of UDP ports

7.3.2 Enabling the UDP Helper Function


Context
After the UDP Helper function is enabled, the S7700 checks the destination UDP port of the received packet and determines whether to relay the packet. Then the S7700 performs the operations as follows: l If the destination UDP port number of packets matches the UDP port number on which packets need to be forwarded and the destination MAC address is the broadcast MAC address, the S7700 changes the destination IP address in the IP packet header and sends them to a specified destination server. If the destination UDP port number of packets does not match the UDP port number on which packets need to be forwarded, the S7700 discards them.

7.3.3 Configuring the UDP Port on Which Packets Are Forwarded


Prerequisite
The UDP helper function is enabled.

Context
After the UDP helper function is enabled, the S7700 forwards broadcast packets of UDP ports 37 (Time), 49 (TACACS), 53 (DNS), 69 (TFTP), 137 (NetBIOS-NS), and 138 (NetBIOS-DS) by default. If the port number that needs to be configured is in the range of default UDP port numbers, you can skip this configuration procedure. The S7700 does not forward DHCP messages of UDP ports 67 and 68. Do as follows on the S7700.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


udp-helper port { port-number | dns | netbios-ds | netbios-ns | tacacs | tftp | time }

8 DNS Configuration

8.1 Introduction to DNS


After each host on the Internet is assigned a domain name, you can set up a mapping between the domain name and IP address of a host through. In this manner, you can use domain names, which are easy to memorize and are of significance, instead of complicated IP addresses. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a host naming mechanism provided by TCP/IP, with which hosts can be named in the form of character string. This system assumes a hierarchical naming structure. It designates a meaningful name for the device in the Internet and associates the name with the IP address through a domain name resolution server. In this manner, you can use domain names that are easy to remember instead of memorizing complex IP addresses.

8.2 DNS Supported by the S7700


Domain name resolution can be performed in either dynamic mode or static mode. DNS has two resolution modes: dynamic DNS resolution and static DNS resolution. To resolve a domain name, the system first uses static DNS resolution. If this mode fails, the system uses dynamic DNS resolution. To improve resolution efficiency, you can put common domain names in a static domain name resolution table. The S7700 supports static resolution and dynamic resolution.

8.3 Configuring DNS


By configuring the DNS, you can set up a mapping between a domain name and an IP address. In this manner, you can enable the device to communicate with other devices.

8.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for configuring the DNS.

Applicable Environment
If local users accessing devices need to communicate with other devices by using domain names, you can configure DNS on the device. An DNS entry is an mapping between a domain name and an IP address. If local users communicate with other devices hardly through the domain name or if the DNS server is unavailable, configure static DNS. Prior to configuring static DNS, you must know the mapping between the domain name and the IP address. In case of a change in the mapping, you must modify the DNS entry manually. You can configure dynamic DNS on the device if local users frequently use domain names for communicating with other devices and the DNS server is available.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring DNS, complete the following tasks:
Issue 01 (2011-07-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 142

l l l l

Configuring physical attributes of the interface and ensuring that the physical layer status of the interface is Up Configuring parameters of the link layer protocol of the interface and ensuring that the link layer protocol status of the interface is Up Configuring routes between the local device and the DNS server Configuring the DNS server

Data Preparation
To configure DNS, you need the following data. No. 1 2 3 Data Domain name and the corresponding IP address in a static DNS entry IP address of a DNS server Domain name or the domain name list of a dynamic DNS entry

8.3.2 Configuring Static DNS Entries


You can create a table of mappings between domain names and IP addresses and add commonlyused domain names to this table. When a client needs to use the IP address corresponding to a domain name, the client can search the table for the required IP address. This improves the efficiency of domain name resolution.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ip host host-name ip-address

The IP address corresponding to the host name is configured. A host name corresponds to only one IP address. When you configure an IP address for a host for several times, only the IP address configured at the latest is valid. To resolve several host names, repeat Step 2. You can configure a maximum of 50 static DNS entries. ----End

8.3.3 Configuring Dynamic DNS


To perform dynamic domain name resolution, you need a special domain name resolution server, which runs a server program. This server provides mappings between domain names and IP addresses and receives resolution requests from the client.

9 Basic Configurations of IPv6

9.1 Introduction to IPv6


This section describes the basic principle of IPv6.

Basic Concepts
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), also called IP Next Generation (IPng), is the standard network protocol of 2nd generation. It is designed by Internet Engineering Task Force as an upgraded version of IPv4. The major feature of IPv6 is the larger address space: addresses in IPv6 are 128 bits long versus 32 bits in IPv4.

Overview of IPv6 Addresses


A 128-bit IPv6 address has two formats: l X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X In this format, a 128-bit IP address is divided into eight groups. The 16 bits of each group are represented by four hexadecimal characters, that is, 0 to 9, and A to F. The groups are separated by ":". Every "X" represents four hexadecimal characters. l X:X:X:X:X:X:d.d.d.d Addresses in this format are classified into two types: IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses are used to configure the IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. Each "X" stands for 16 bits that are represented by four hexadecimal characters. Each "d" stands for 8 bits that are represented by decimal numbers. "d.d.d.d" is a standard IPv4 address. An IPv6 address can be divided into two parts: l l Network prefix: n bits, equivalent to the network ID in the IPv4 address. Interface identifier: 128-n bits, equivalent to the host ID in the IPv4 address.

9.2 IPv6 Features Supported by the S7700


The S7700 supports the IPv6 protocol suite and TCP6 protocol suite.

IPv6 Features Supported by the S7700


The S7700 supports the setting of IPv6 addresses on a VLANIF, Loopback interface. Each interface supports a maximum of 20 IPv6 addresses, including link-local addresses and the global unicast addresses. The link-local address is used in the neighbor discovery protocol and used in the communication between the nodes on the local link in the stateless address auto-configuration. The packets whose source or destination address is the link-local address are forwarded on only the local link. A link-local address can be set automatically or manually. After the command to enable the system to automatically set link-local addresses is run, the system automatically sets a link-local

9 Basic Configurations of IPv6

address for an interface. The link-local address manually set must be a valid link-local address (FE80::/10). Automatically generated link-local addresses are recommended because link-local addresses are used only for communications between link-local nodes usually to satisfy the communication request of protocols and irrelevant to communications between users. A global unicast address is equal to an IP address on the IPv4 public network, which is used to forward data on the public network and mandatory for communications between users. An EUI-64 address is equivalent to a global unicast address in view of functions. For an EUI-64 address, however, only the network bits need to be specified. Its host bits are transformed from the MAC address of the interface. For a global unicast address, complete 128 bits of the address have to be specified.

IPv6 Neighbor Discovery


IPv6 neighbor discovery (ND) is a packet transmission process to identify relationships between neighboring nodes. The ND protocol replaces the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), ICMP Redirect message, and ICMP Router Discovery message on an IPv4 network and provides other functions.

IPv6 FIB
Connecting network topologies of different types needs the configuration of different routing protocols. This brings about Routing Information Base (RIB). The RIB is a base of the FIB. Guided by route management policies, the S7700 obtains minimum necessary forwarding information from the RIB and adds the information to the FIB. Through the route management module, you can also add static routes into the FIB. Forwarding Information Base (FIB) contains minimum necessary information needed by an S7700 to forward packets. An FIB entry usually contains the destination address, prefix length, transport port, next-hop address, route flag, time stamp. An S7700 forwards packets according to FIB entries. The FIB mechanism consists of two parts: FIB agent (used on the control plane) and FIB container (used on the forwarding plane). The control plane (FibAgent) is responsible for interacting with the RM module and downloading the FIB to the forwarding engine. For a distributed system, the FIB needs to be downloaded to the I/O board. A FIB contains the following information: l l l l l l Destination address: indicates the network or host a packet is destined for. Prefix length: indicates the length of the destination address prefix. From the prefix length, you can infer that the destination address is a network address or a host address. Nexthop: indicates the address of the next hop through which the packet reaches the destination. Flag(s): identifies route characteristics. Interface: indicates the outgoing interface of the packet. Timestamp: time when an FIB entry is generated.

9 Basic Configurations of IPv6

9.3 Configuring an IPv6 Address for an Interface


Assigning an IPv6 address to a device on a network enables the device to communicate with the other devices on the network.

9.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for assigning an IPv6 address to an interface.

Applicable Environment
When a device communicates with an IPv6 device, you need to configure IPv6 address for the interface. An EUI-64 address has the same function as an global unicast address. The difference is that only the network bits need to be specified for the EUI-64 address and the host bits are transformed from the MAC addresses of the interface while a complete 128-bit address need to be specified for the global unicast address. Note that the prefix length of the network bits in an EUI-64 address must not be longer than 64 bits. The EUI-64 address and the global unicast address can be configured simultaneously or alternatively. However, the IP addresses configured for one interface cannot be in the same network segment.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IPv6 addresses, complete the following tasks: l l Configuring the physical features of the interface and ensuring that the status of the physical layer of the interface is Up Configuring the link layer parameters for the interface and ensuring that the status of the link layer protocol on the interface is Up

Data Preparation
To configure IPv6 addresses for an interface, you need the following data. No. 1 2 3 Data Number of the interface Link-local address configured manually Global unicast address and prefix length

9 Basic Configurations of IPv6

9.3.2 Enabling IPv6 Packet Forwarding Capability


You can perform other IPv6 configurations on an interface only when IPv6 is enabled in the interface view. To enable IPv6 packet forwarding on an interface, you must configure IPv6 in the system view.

Context
To enable a device to forward IPv6 packets, you must enable the IPv6 capability in both the system view and the interface view. This is because: l If you run the ipv6 command only in the system view, only the IPv6 packet forwarding capability is enabled on a device. The IPv6 function, however, is not enabled on the interface and hence you cannot perform any IPv6 configurations. If you run the ipv6 enable command only in the interface view, the IPv6 capability is enabled only on an interface but the IPv6 protocol status on the interface is Down. Therefore, the device cannot forward IPv6 data.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ipv6

The IPv6 packet forwarding capability is enabled. By default, the IPv6 packet forwarding capability is disabled. To enable a device to forward IPv6 packets, you must run this command in the system view; otherwise, the IPv6 protocol status of the interface is Down and the device cannot forward IPv6 packets although you enable IPv6 on the interface. Step 3 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number

The view of the VLANIF interface to be enabled with the IPv6 capability is displayed. Step 4 Run:
ipv6 enable

The IPv6 capability is enabled on the interface. Before performing IPv6 configurations in the interface view, you must enable the IPv6 capability in the interface view. By default, the IPv6 capability is disabled on the interface. ----End

10 IPv6 DNS Configuration

10.1 Introduction to IPv6 DNS


After each host on the Internet is assigned a domain name, you can set up mapping between the domain name and IP address of a host. In this manner, you can use domain names, which are easy to memorize and are of significance, instead of complicated IP addresses. IPv6 DNS has two resolution modes: dynamic IPv6 DNS resolution and static IPv6 DNS resolution. To resolve a domain name, the system first uses static IPv6 DNS resolution. If this mode fails, the system uses dynamic IPv6 DNS resolution. To improve resolution efficiency, you can put common domain names in a static domain name resolution table.

10.2 IPv6 DNS Supported by the S7700


IPv6 domain name resolution can be performed in either dynamic mode or static mode. IPv6 domain name system (DNS) is similar to IPv4 DNS. For configurations of IPv4 DNS, refer to "DNS Configuration."

10.3 Configuring IPv6 DNS


By configuring the IPv6 DNS, you can set up a mapping between a domain name and an IPv6 address. In this manner, you can enable the device to communicate with other devices.

10.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for configuring the IPv6 DNS.

Applicable Environment
DNS needs to be configured if the local users log on to a device using domain names to communicate with other devices. The IPv6 DNS entries show the mapping between domain names and IPv6 addresses. If users seldom use the domain name to access other devices, or if the DNS server is unavailable, a static DNS needs to be configured. To configure a static IPv6 DNS, the network administrator needs to know the relation between domain names and IPv6 addresses, and manually modify the IPv6 DNS entry when the relation changes. If the users need to use the domain name to access many devices, and the DNS server is available, a dynamic DNS can be configured. The dynamic DNS needs to be supported by a DNS server.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IPv6 DNS, configure the route between a local device and a DNS server.

Data Preparation
To configure IPv6 DNS, you need the following data.
Issue 01 (2011-07-15) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 170

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

10 IPv6 DNS Configuration

No. 1 2 3

Data Domain name of the static IPv6 DNS entry and the corresponding IPv6 address IPv6 address of the IPv6 DNS server Domain name of the dynamic IPv6 DNS or the domain name list

10.3.2 Configuring a Static IPv6 DNS Entry


You can create a table of mappings between domain names and IPv6 addresses and add common domain names to this table. When a client needs to use the IPv6 address corresponding to a domain name, the client can search the table for the required IPv6 address. This improves the efficiency of domain name resolution.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ipv6

You can enable the IPv6 capability. Step 3 Run:


ipv6 host host-name ipv6-address

The host name and the corresponding IPv6 address are configured. If the same host is configured with IPv6 addresses for several times (the maximum times is 8 IPv6 addresses), the IPv6 address configured earliest is used when needing to find the host with the IPv6 address, such as ping this host. ----End

10.3.3 Configuring the Dynamic IPv6 DNS Services


To perform dynamic domain name resolution, you need a special domain name resolution server, which runs a server program. This server provides mappings between domain names and IPv6 addresses and receives resolution requests from the client.

Context
If the IPv6 DNS server is configured with a link-local address, the interface name should also be configured with the IPv6 address. Figure 10-1 DNS server connecting IPv4 and IPv6 networks

10 IPv6 DNS Configuration

CAUTION
If multiple DNS servers are configured, the servers are queried in the order of configuration till proper response is received. If both IPv4 and IPv6 servers are configured, the A query is first sent to the IPv4 server, while AAAA query packets are first sent to the IPv6 server. The DNS domains are configured on a device and the domain names can be searched. If the DNS fails in searching for a host name, it appends a domain name to the host name following a "." and continues the DNS search. You can configure some commonly used domain names like "com", and "net". For example, if the search for the host name "huawei" fails, the system then searches for "huawei.com" or "huawei.net". Do as follows on the switch:

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


dns resolve

The dynamic domain name resolution is enabled. Step 3 Run:

11 IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Configuration

11.1 Introduction to IPv6 over IPv4


An IPv6 packet is transparently transmitted after being encapsulated into an IPv4 packet. During the transition from the IPv4 Internet to the IPv6 Internet, IPv4 networks have been widely deployed while IPv6 domains are isolated and dispersed around the world. It is not economical to connect these isolated sites with private lines. The usual method is tunnel technology. This technology creates tunnels over IPv4 networks to connect isolated IPv6 domains. This is similar to the situation where the tunnel technology is used to deploy VPNs on the IP networks. The tunnel used to connect isolated IPv6 domains over IPv4 networks is called IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. To implement this tunnel, enable IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks on the devices at the border of the IPv4 network and the IPv6 network.

11.2 IPv6 over IPv4 Supported by the S7700


You can configure manual IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels or 6to4 tunnels to interconnect IPv6 networks.

Dual Stacks
The simplest way for an IPv6 node to remain compatible with an IPv4 node is to reserve a complete IPv4 protocol stack. In this way, the IPv6 node maintains a dual-stack structure. Figure 11-1 shows a single stack structure and a dual stack structure. Figure 11-1 Single stack and dual stack structures (Ethernet)

IPv4 Application TCP UDP

IPv4/IPv6 Application TCP UDP

IPv4 Protocol ID: 0x0800 Ethernet IPv4 Stack

IPv6 Protocol ID: Protocol ID: 0x86DD 0x0800 Ethernet Dual Stack

The characteristics of the dual-stack structure are as follows: l Supported by multiple link layer protocols Multiple link layer protocols, such as Ethernet, support dual stacks. The link layer in the above diagram is the Ethernet. For an Ethernet frame with the protocol ID field value of 0x0800 indicates that the network layer has IPv4 packets. The ID field value of 0x86DD indicates that the network has IPv6 packets.

11 IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Configuration

Supported by multiple applications Multiple applications such as DNS, FTP and Telnet support dual stacks. The upper application, such as DNS, can select TCP or UDP as its transport layer protocol. However, it prefers the IPv6 protocol stack rather than IPv4 to be the network layer protocol.

IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel


Figure 11-2 shows principles of the IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel technology. 1. 2. Enabling IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks Enable IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks on the border device. Encapsulating IPv6 packets After receiving a packet from the IPv6 network, the border device takes the received IPv6 packet as the payload, adds an IPv4 packet header before the payload and encapsulates it into an IPv4 packet if it finds that the destination of the packet is not for itself. 3. 4. Transmitting the encapsulated packet In the IPv4 network, the encapsulated packet is transmitted to the peer border device. Decapsulating the packet The peer border device decapsulates the packet, removes the IPv4 packet header, and forwards the resulting IPv6 packet to the remote IPv6 network.

The virtual tunnel that transmits IPv6 packets between the border devices is called the IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. Tunnels can be classified according to their setup modes. The common IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel modes include: l l l l IPv6 over IPv4 manual tunnels 6to4 tunnels Intrasite Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels 6PE

IPv6 over IPv4 Manual Tunnel


An IPv6 over IPv4 manual tunnel is set up by configuring the border devices of two tunnel ends. The source IPv4 address and destination IPv4 address of such a tunnel must be configured statically.

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

11 IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Configuration

A manual tunnel is equivalent to a permanent link between two IPv6 networks over an IPv4 backbone network. It is the fixed channel for regular and secure communication between the two border devices. The manual tunnel can be used between isolated IPv6 networks. It can also be used between a border device and a host. In this case, the host and the device on both ends of the tunnel must support the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocol stacks.

6to4 Tunnel
A 6to4 tunnel is a mechanism that connects several isolated IPv6 domains to each other over an IPv4 network. The 6to4 tunnel can be configured on the border device between the isolated IPv6 network and the IPv4 network. The border device on both the ends of the 6to4 tunnel must support the IPv4 and the IPv6 dual protocol stacks at the same time. The key difference between the 6to4 tunnel and the manual tunnel is that the former can be a point-to-multipoint connection, and the latter is only a point-to-point connection. Hence, the devices of the 6to4 tunnel are not configured in pairs. The 6to4 tunnel can automatically find another end of the tunnel, like the automatic tunnel. You need not specify the IPv4-compatible IPv6 address for it. The 6to4 tunnel uses a kind of special IPv6 address, namely the 6to4 address with the following format: 2002:IPv4 address: subnet ID:interface ID The prefix of the 6to4 address is 2002:IPv4 address with the length of 48 bits. Of these, the IPv4 address is a globally unique one requested for an isolated IPv6 domain. This IPv4 address must be configured on the IPv6/IPv4 border device's physical interface that is connected with the IPv4 network. The length of the subnet ID is 16 bits, and that of the interface ID is 64 bits. Both the subnet ID and the interface ID are allocated in the isolated IPv6 domains. As shown in Figure 11-3, Site1 and Site2 are 6to4 networks, and hosts and devices in the 6to4 network are allocated with 6to4 addresses. The IPv4 address contained in the 6to4 address of the host or device in Site1 is the IPv4 address of the interface through which Switch A accesses the IPv4 network. Similarly, the IPv4 address contained in the 6to4 address of the host or device in Site2 is the IPv4 address of the interface through which Switch B accesses the IPv4 network. Switch A and Switch B are both 6to4 devices. Figure 11-3 6to4 tunnel and 6to4 relay

11 IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Configuration

When the host in Site1 accesses the host in Site2, the process concerned is as follows: 1. 2. 3. The IPv6 packet is transmitted to Switch A. Switch A checks the destination address of the IPv6 packet and finds that the address is the 6to4 address, from which Switch A obtains the remote IPv4 address of the 6to4 tunnel. Switch A encapsulates this IPv6 packet into the IPv4 packet. The destination address of IPv4 packet header is the remote IPv4 address of the tunnel, and its source address is the local IPv4 address of the tunnel. Switch A forwards the IPv4 packet in the IPv4 network to Switch B. Switch B decapsulates it to obtain the previous IPv6 packet, and then sends the IPv6 packet to the destination host in Site2.

4. 5.

The above process implements the communication between the 6to4 networks. To implement the communication between the 6to4 network and native IPv6 network, a 6to4 relay device is needed. The so-called native IPv6 network means that both its internal host and device are not configured with the 6to4 address. The 6to4 relay device is the gateway between the 6to4 network and the native IPv6 network. One side of the 6to4 relay device is connected to the native IPv6 network; the other side is connected to the IPv4 network and creates the 6to4 tunnel with the 6to4 device. As shown in Figure 11-3, when the host in the 6to4 network accesses the IPv6 Internet, the process concerned is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The IPv6 packet is routed to Switch A. A 6to4 tunnel is created between Switch A and Switch C. The IPv6 packet is encapsulated into the IPv4 packet and is sent to Switch C. Switch C decapsulates the IPv4 packet to obtain the previous IPv6 packet, and sends the IPv6 packet to the destination host in the IPv6 Internet.

ISATAP Tunnel
The ISATAP tunnel is used when the IPv4/IPv6 host in an IPv4 network accesses an IPv6 network. The ISATAP tunnel can be created between an ISATAP host and an ISATAP device. The ISATAP format address is needed to create the ISATAP tunnel. Its structure is as follows: Prefix (64bit)::5EFE:IPv4-Address When the ISATAP tunnel is created (since the IPv4/IPv6 host and the ISATAP device are in a same IPv4 network), the IPv4 address embedded into the ISATAP address can be either a public network address or a private network address. As shown in Figure 11-4, the process for an IPv4/IPv6 host to obtain an IPv6 address is as follows: 1. The IPv4/IPv6 host sends a request message to a device. The IPv4/IPv6 host uses the link-local address in the ISATAP format to send a router request message to the ISATAP device. It encapsulates the message into the IPv4 packet. 2.
Issue 01 (2011-07-15)

The ISATAP device responds to the request message.

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

11 IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Configuration

The ISATAP device uses a router notification message to respond to the request. The router notification message contains the ISATAP prefix, which is manually configured on the device. 3. The IPv4/IPv6 host obtains its IPv6 address. The IPv4/IPv6 host obtains its own IPv6 address by combining the ISATAP prefix with 5EFE:IPv4-Address, and uses this address to access the IPv6 host. Figure 11-4 ISATAP tunnel

IPv6 Network ISATAP Switch

IPv4 Network ISATAP Tunnel IPv4/IPv6 Host 2.1.1.1 FE80::5EFE:0201:0101 3FFE::5EFE:0201:0101

IPv6 Host

The principle of an IPv4 or IPv6 host accessing an IPv6 network is as follows: 1. 2. 3. The IPv4 or IPv6 host in the IPv4 network obtains an IPv6 address based on the steps given above. The IPv4 or IPv6 host sends packets that are encapsulated in an IPv4 packet to the host in the IPv6 network. An ISATAP device decapsulates the IPv4 packet and sends the IPv6 packets to the IPv6 host.

6PE
On an IPv4 backbone network where the MPLS is deployed, the ISP can use the IPv6 Provider Edge (6PE) technology to provide the interconnection capacity for the IPv6 networks of dispersed users. 6PE is the PE with the IPv6 capacity. Figure 11-5 shows the principle of interconnecting isolated IPv6 domains through 6PE. 1. When the 6PE device receives an IPv6 packet from the CE, it directly labels the packet to translate the packet into an MPLS packet that can be transmitted over the IPv4 backbone network. The MPLS packet is forwarded to the remote 6PE through the LSP. The remote 6PE removes the label and finds the IPv6 routing table according to the destination address in the resulting IPv6 packet header. The remote 6PE then sends the packet to the destination host in the remote IPv6 network through the remote CE.

Note the following points when you connect isolated IPv6 sites through a 6PE tunnel: l l l l Enable IPv4, MPLS and IPv6 on 6PE. MP-BGP also needs to be enabled between 6PEs to receive or send IPv6 routes from/to the remote 6PE. The IGP over ISP's IPv4 backbone network can be OSPF or IS-IS. Static routing protocol, IGP or EBGP can work between CE and 6PE.

When ISPs tend to extend their IPv4 or MPLS networks with IPv6 traffic exchange capability on MPLS, they only need to update their PE devices.

11.3 Configuring IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stacks


To establish an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel, you need to configure both the IPv4 protocol suite and the IPv6 protocol suite on the devices where an IPv4 network borders an IPv6 network.

11.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for the IPv4/IPv6 dual protocol stack.

Applicable Environment
If a device has both IPv4 and IPv6 connections, the IPv4/IPv6 dual protocol stacks need to be enabled on the device. Enabling the IPv4/IPv6 dual protocol stacks on the S7700 is a simple process. Enable the IPv6 packet forwarding capacity in the system view and configure an IPv4 address or IPv6 address on the corresponding interface. The device can then forward IPv4 and IPv6 packets on the corresponding interface.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring IPv6 tunnels, complete the following tasks:

Data Preparation
To configure IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks, you need the following data. No. 1 2 3 4 Data Type and number of the interface connected with the IPv4 network IPv4 address and mask of the interface connected with the IPv4 network Type and number of the interface connected with the IPv6 network IPv6 address and prefix of the interface connected with the IPv6 network

11.3.2 Enabling IPv6 Packet Forwarding


To enable IPv6 packet forwarding, you need to enable IPv6 in both the interface view and the system view.

Context
To enable a device to forward IPv6 packets, you must enable the IPv6 capability in both the system view and the interface view. This is because: l If you run the ipv6 command only in the system view, only the IPv6 packet forwarding capability is enabled on a device. The interface on the device is not of the IPv6 capability and hence you cannot perform any IPv6 configurations. If you run the ipv6 enable command only in the interface view, the IPv6 capability is enabled only on an interface but the IPv6 protocol status on the interface is Down and the device cannot forward IPv6 data.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


ipv6

The IPv6 packet forwarding capability is enabled. To enable a device to forward IPv6 packets, you must run this command in the system view; otherwise, the IPv6 protocol status on the interface is Down and the device cannot forward IPv6 packets although the interface is configured with an IPv6 address. By default, the IPv6 packet forwarding capability is disabled.

11.7.3 Example for Configuring a 6to4 Relay


This section provides a configuration example of 6to4 relay.

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 11-8, Switch A is a 6to4 device and is connected to an IPv6 network. Switch B is a 6to4 relay device and is connected to the IPv6 Internet (2001::/64). Switch A and Switch B are connected through an IPv4 backbone network. To enable communication between the 6to4 network and the IPv6 network, you need to configure a 6to4 tunnel between Switch A and Switch B. The configuration of a tunnel between a 6to4 relay device and a common 6to4 device is similar to configuration of a tunnel between common 6to4 devices. A static route to the IPv6 network must be configured on the common 6to4 device so that the 6to4 network and the IPv6 network can communicate with each other.

12 IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Configuration

12.1 Introduction to IPv4 over IPv6


You can create tunnels on the IPv6 networks to connect IPv4 isolated sites so that IPv4 isolated sites can access other IPv4 networks through the IPv6 Internet. During the transition from the IPv4 Internet to the IPv6 Internet, IPv6 networks have been widely deployed, whereas IPv4 networks are isolated. The tunnel technology can be adopted to establish tunnels over IPv6 networks to connect isolated IPv4 networks. This is similar to the situation where the tunnel technology is used to deploy VPNs on IP networks. The tunnel used to connect isolated IPv4 networks over IPv6 networks is called an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel.

12.2 IPv4 over IPv6 Supported by the S7700


This section describes how to interconnect IPv4 networks through IPv6 networks. The S7700 supports the enabling of IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks on the devices at the border of IPv6 and IPv4 networks. Figure 12-1 Networking diagram of an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel

Figure 12-1 shows the principles of the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel technology. 1. 2. Enabling IPv4/IPv6 dual stacks Enable IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks on the border device. Encapsulating IPv6 packets After receiving a packet from the IPv4 network, the border device takes the received IPv4 packet as the payload, adds an IPv6 packet header before the payload, and encapsulates it into an IPv6 packet if the device finds that the destination of the packet is not itself. 3.

Transmitting the encapsulated packet

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

12 IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Configuration

In the IPv6 network, the encapsulated packet is transmitted to the peer border device. 4. Decapsulating the packet The peer border device decapsulates the packet, removes the IPv6 packet header, and forwards the decapsulated IPv4 packet to the remote IPv4 network.

12.3 Configuring an IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel


This configuration task enables transmission of an IPv4 packet added with an IPv6 header on the device configured with the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack.

12.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task


This section describes the applicable environment, pre-configuration tasks, data preparation, and configuration procedure for configuring an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel.

Applicable Environment
To implement communication between IPv4 networks over the IPv6 network, configure an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel on the border device of IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, complete the following tasks: l l Implementing the IP connectivity between the source and destination interfaces Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks

Data Preparation
To configure an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, you need the following data. No. 1 2 3 4 Data Number of the tunnel interface Source IPv6 address or source interface of the tunnel interface Destination IPv6 address of the tunnel interface IPv4 address of the tunnel interface or the interface from which the IPv4 address is borrowed

12.3.2 Configuring a Tunnel Interface


To configure a tunnel interface, you need to configure the source and destination addresses of the tunnel.

Quidway S7700 Smart Routing Switch Configuration Guide - IP Service

12 IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Configuration

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Run:


interface tunnel interface-number

The tunnel interface is created and the tunnel interface view is displayed. Step 3 Run:
tunnel-protocol ipv4-ipv6

The tunnel is specified as an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel. Step 4 Run:


source { source-ip-address | interface-type interface-number }

The source IPv6 address or source interface of the tunnel interface is specified. Step 5 Run:
destination ip-address

The destination IPv6 address of the Tunnel interface is configured. Step 6 Run one of the following commands to specify the IP address of the tunnel interface: l Run the ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } [ sub ] command to configure the IPv4 address of the tunnel interface. l Run the ip address unnumbered interface interface-type interface-number command to configure the tunnel interface to borrow an IPv4 address. ----End

12.3.3 Configuring Routes in the Tunnel


Packets can be normally forwarded only when routes exist on both the source device and destination device of the tunnel. Do as follows on the devices on both ends of the tunnel.

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view

The system view is displayed. Step 2 Choose one of the following methods to configure the route with the outgoing interface as the tunnel interface: l Run the ip route-static ip-address { mask | mask-length } tunnel interface-number command to configure static routes. When configuring the static routes, you must configure the both ends of the tunnel. Note that the destination address is the destination IPv4 address of the packet to be encapsulated with the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel; the next hop is the local tunnel interface. l Configure dynamic routes. You can use the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), excluding Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS). Detailed configurations are not mentioned here.

12 IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Configuration

When configuring a dynamic routing protocol, you must enable it on the tunnel interface and the interface on the link through which the IPv4 network is connected to the IPv6 network. ----End

12.3.4 Checking the Configuration


You can view the configuration of an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel.

Prerequisite
The configurations of the IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel function are complete.

Procedure
l l Run the display interface tunnel [ interface-number ] command to check the working status of the tunnel interface. Run the display ip routing-table command to check the routing table.

----End

Example
Run the display interface tunnel command. If the status of the tunnel interface is Up, it means that the configuration succeeds. For example:
<Quidway> display interface tunnel 2/0/0 Tunnel2/0/0 current state : UP Line protocol current state : UP Last line protocol up time : 2010-06-22, 19:33:19 Description : HUAWEI, Quidway Series, Tunnel2/0/0 Interface, Route Port Route Port,The Maximum Transmit Unit is 1452 bytes Internet Address is 10.1.1.1/30 Encapsulation is TUNNEL6, loopback not set Tunnel protocol/transport (IPv6 or IPV4) over IPv6 Tunnel Source 2001::1 (Pos2/0/0) Tunnel Destination 2002::2 Tunnel Encapsulation limit 4 Tunnel Traffic class not set Tunnel Flow label not set Tunnel Hop limit 64 5 minutes input rate 10 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minutes output rate 14 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 493 packets input, 38480 bytes 0 input error 447 packets output, 53144 bytes 0 output error

Run the display ip routing-table command. If the route with the outgoing interface as the tunnel interface is displayed in the IPv4 routing table, it means that the configuration succeeds. For example:
<Quidway> display ip routing-table Routing Tables: Public Destinations : 11 Routes : 11 Destination/Mask Proto Pre Cost NextHop 10.1.1.0/24 Direct 0 0 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.2/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 10.2.1.0/24 Static 60 0 40.1.1.1 20.1.1.0/24 Direct 0 0 20.1.1.1 20.1.1.1/32 Direct 0 0 127.0.0.1 20.1.1.2/32 Direct 0 0 20.1.1.2 30.1.1.0/24 OSPF 10 3124 20.1.1.2
