2.1 Ethernet Interface Overview

Introduction to Ethernet Interface
The ZXR10 5900E provides the 1000M Ethernet electrical/optical interface, and 10G
Ethernet optical interface. They are detailed as follows.
1. The 1000M Ethernet electrical interface supports the full duplex/half duplex,
10M/100M/1000M rate, and MDI/MDIX adaption function. By default, it works in the
auto-negotiation mode, that is, it needs to negotiate the working mode and speed
with the peer device.
2. The 1000M Ethernet optical interface works in the 1000M full duplex mode. It does
not support the configuration for duplex mode and speed but it can be configured to
work in the auto-negotiation mode.
3. The 10G Ethernet optical interface works in the 1000M full duplex mode. It does not
support the configuration for auto-negotiation mode, duplex mode, and speed.
The system adds interfaces automatically. To be specific, after an interface board is
inserted into the related slot and then starts up, the interfaces on the interface board will
be automatically added to the interface list in the system. The ZXR10 5900E names
the interfaces in the following rule: <Interface type>-<Device ID>/<Slot ID>/<Sub-card
ID>/<Interface ID>.
l Interface type: It is divided into gei 1000M Ethernet interface, and xgei 10G Ethernet
interface.
l Device ID: The ID for a single device is 0.
l Slot ID: The slots on the ZXR10 5900E.
l Sub-card ID: The ID for sub-card is 1-3.
l Interface ID: The interfaces on the interface board are numbered from 1.
2-1

For example:
l gei-0/1/1/1: No.1 interface on the 1000M Ethernet interface board in sub-card 1.
l xgei-0/1/2/2: No.2 interface on the 10G Ethernet interface board in sub-card slot 2.
Ethernet Interface Principle

In Open System Interconnection (OSI) seven layer model defined by International
Organization for Standardization (ISO), physical layer defines the physical interfaces
between two devices and their electrical, procedural and mechanical characteristics and
so on. The functions of Ethernet physical layer is similar to that defined by ISO. Ethernet
physical layer provides a standard. The network devices can communicated each other if
manufactories produce them according to the same standard.
Ethernet physical layer has two working modes, full-duplex and half-duplex mode. The
different medium access modes are provided for them,
l Use Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) access mode in
half-duplex mode.
l The packets can be sent and received in full-duplex mode directly.
Full-duplex and half-duplex are physical layer concepts, and provide different access
modes for duplex modes in physical layer that is data link layer concept. In this way, an
important Ethernet feature is formed, data link layer and physical layer are related.
This Ethernet feature brings some inconvenience to design and application. To avoid
the inconvenience, some organizations and manufactories advance another mode that
delaminate the data link layer to be logical link control sub-layer and medium access
control sub-layer. Thus, the different physical layer corresponds to different Medium
Access Control (MAC) sub-layer, and Logic Link Control (LLC) sub-layer is totally
independent.
MAC sub-layer relates to physical layer, that is to say, different physical layer has different
MAC sub-layers to access. For example, twisted-pair working in half-duplex mode in
physical layer, its corresponding MAC sub-layer is half-duplex MAC. A token ring MAC
accesses a token ring physical layer. LLC sub-layer encapsulate MAC frame to LLC frame,
which uses MAC sub-layer to screen the differences about bottom layer. LLC sub-layer is
responsible for sending and receiving frame only.
2.2 Configuring an Ethernet Interface

The following sections describe how to configure an Ethernet interface.
Enabling Auto-Negotiation
To enable auto-negotiation of an Ethernet interface, perform the following steps:
Step Command Function
1 ZXR10(config)#interface < port-name> Enters interface configuration

mode.
2-2

Chapter 2 Ethernet Interface Configuration
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#negotiation auto Enables auto-negotiation of the

Ethernet interface.
Note:
To disable auto-negotiation of an Ethernet interface, run the no negotiation auto or negotia
tion auto disable command.
For a description of the parameter in Step 1, refer to the following table:
Parameter Description
< port-name> Interface name.
Note:
A 10G Ethernet optical interface does not support the auto-negotiation function, and it
works in 10G full-duplex mode only.
The following example shows how to enable auto-negotiation of the gei-0/1/1/1 interface:
ZXR10(config)#interface gei-0/1/1/1
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#negotiation auto
Configuring the Duplex Mode

To configure the duplex mode of an Ethernet interface, perform the following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#duplex { half| full} Configures the duplex mode of

the Ethernet interface.
For a description of the parameters in Steps 1 and 2, refer to the following table:
half Half-duplex mode.
full Full-duplex mode.
2-3

Note:
Before the duplex mode configuration, the auto-negotiation function of the Ethernet
interface must be disabled.
The following example shows how to set the duplex mode of the gei-0/1/1/1 interface to
full:
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#duplex full
Configuring the Speed

To configure the speed of an Ethernet interface, perform the following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#speed{10| 100 | 1000} Specifies the speed of the

Ethernet interface.
10 10 Mbit/s.
100 100 Mbit/s.
1000 1000 Mbit/s.
Note:
Before the speed configuration, the auto-negotiation function of the Ethernet interface must
be disabled.
The following example shows how to set the speed of the gei-0/1/1/1 interface to 10 Mbits:
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#speed 10
Enabling Traffic Control

To enable traffic control on an Ethernet interface, perform the following steps:
2-4


mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#flowcontrol { enable | Enables or disables traffic

disable} control on the Ethernet
interface.
<port-name> Interface name.
enable Enables the traffic control function.
disable Disables the traffic control function.
Note:
To disable flow control on an Ethernet interface, you should run the no flowcontrol
command in interface configuration mode.
When the message-sending buffer is full, the Ethernet interface that has flow control
enabled sends a pause packet, informing the remote port to suspend sending packets
for a period of time.
The following example shows how to enable traffic control on the gei-0/1/1/1 interface:
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#flowcontrol enable
Enabling the Jumbo Frame Function

To enable the jumbo frame function on an Ethernet interface, perform the following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#jumbo-frame enable Enables the jumbo frame

function (that is, allowing jumbo
frames to pass through the
Ethernet interface).
A jumbo frame with a maximum
length of 12288 bytes can pass
through the Ethernet interface.
2-5

Note:
To disable the jumbo frame function on an Ethernet interface, run the jumbo-frame disable
command.
enable Allows jumbo frames to pass through the Ethernet interface.
disable Restricts jumbo frames to pass through the Ethernet

interface.
Note:
By default, only a frame with a maximum length of 1560 bytes can pass through the
Ethernet interface.
The following example shows how to enable the jumbo frame function on the gei-0/1/1/1
interface:
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#jumbo-frame enable
Configuring Broadcast Packets Suppression

To configure the suppression of broadcast packets on an Ethernet interface, perform the
following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#broadcast-limit<percent- Configures the suppression

value|pps|value> of broadcast packets on the
Ethernet interface.
For a description of the parameter in Steps 1 and 2, refer to the following table:
2-6

<percent-value> Suppression ratio of forwarding broadcast packets, range:

1–100, default: 10.
The lower the value, the smaller the amount of broadcast
packets that can pass through the interface. When the value
reaches 100 percent, broadcast packet suppression is not
enabled for the interface.
pps Maximum number of broadcast packets forwarded by the

Ethernet interface per second. The unit is pps.
value Maximum speed of forwarding broadcast packets over the

Ethernet interface. The unit is Mbps.
Note:
These commands can be used to control the size of broadcast traffic allowed on an
Ethernet interface. When the broadcast traffic exceeds the pre-configured threshold, the
system discards the excessive broadcast traffic to decrease the ratio of broadcast traffic to
a proper range. This effectively suppresses the forwarding of broadcast packets, avoids
network congestion, and therefore ensures the normal operation of network services.
The following example shows how to set the suppression ratio of broadcast packets
forwarded over the gei-0/1/1/1 interface to 20:
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#broadcast-limit percent 20
Configuring the Suppression of Multicast Packets

To configure the suppression of multicast packets on an Ethernet interface, perform the
following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#multicast-limit<perc Configures multicast packets

ent-value|pps|value> suppression on the Ethernet
interface.
2-7

<percent-value> Suppression ratio of forwarding multicast packets, range:

1–100, default: 100.
pps Maximum number of multicast packets forwarded by the

value Maximum speed of forwarding multicast packets over the

The following example shows how to set the suppression ratio of multicast packets
ZXR10(config-if-gei-0/1/1/1)#multicast-limit percent 30
Configuring the Suppression of Unknown Packets

To configure the suppression of unknown packets on an Ethernet interface, perform the
following steps:

mode.
2 ZXR10(config-if-port-name)#unknowncast-limit<per Configures the suppression

cent-value|pps|value> of unknown packets on the
Ethernet interface.
<percent-value> Suppression ratio of forwarding unknown packets, range:

1–100, default: 10
pps Maximum number of unknown packets forwarded by the

value Maximum speed of unknown packets forwarded over the

The following example shows how to set the suppression ratio of unknown packets

Line Diagnosis and Analysis Test

The ZXR10 5900E supports the line diagnosis and analysis test on cables. It can detect
lines, check whether cables are connected properly, and locate the point where a fault
occurs. This facilitates network management and fault locating.
Both of the fast Ethernet electrical interface and the 1000M Ethernet electrical interface are
connected with other devices by using network cables. There are four pairs of twisted-pair
cables. Wherein, the fast Ethernet electrical interface uses the 1-2 and 3-6 twisted-pair
2-23

cables, and the 1000M Ethernet electrical interface uses all the 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, and 7-8
twisted-pair cables.
The line detection function can help detect the state of each pair of twisted-pair cables.
The line state is divided into the following types:
l Open: Indicates that the circuit is open.
l Short: Indicates that the cable is short circuited.
l Mismatch: Indicates that the impedance of the line does not match.
l Good: Indicates that the line is normal.
l Broken: Indicates that circuit is broken.
l Unknown: Indicates that the circuit state is unknown or no result is output.
l Fail: Indicates that the detection fails.
If the line is faulty, the test result shows the point where the fault occurs. If the line is
normal, the test result shows the rough length of the line.
The line diagnosis and analysis test requires no configuration and can be performed
directly in the privileged or global config mode.
Command Function
ZXR10(config)#show vct interface < port-name> This performs the line diagnosis
and analysis test.
Note:
After a line diagnosis and analysis test is performed, the related interface will be restarted.
At this time, the links on the interface are disconnected and then recover. Usually, this
function is used to test an interface where a fault occurs. If the interface has provisioned
to users, exercise caution when you use this function.
Check the line of interface gei-0/1/1/1.

Logical Interface
Configuration
Logical interface is not real existent, which is configured by user manually. ZXR10 5900E
supports the following logical interfaces, Loopback, NULL and SuperVLAN, SmartGroup
interfaces and so on. These logical interfaces have some common points,
1. There is no a real physical interface to correspond to the logical interface. Sometimes,

mapping relationship exists between the real and logical interfaces..
2. Due to the first point, logical interface can not generated according to the physical
interface. It has to be created manually according to the actual requirement.
3. The interface is always in up state (both physical and protocol states are up). The
interface will never be down. Tunnel interface is an exception, its physical state is
always up, but its protocol state is decided by the actual running condition.

3.1 Loopback Interface Configuration

3.1.1 Loopback Interface Overview
Loopback interface is the most widely used virtual interface. It is almost used by every
switch. Loopback interface can be used to construct blackhole route, and it aslo can
be used to provide a known and stable ID for Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) route.
Additionally, loopback interface can be used in any time if the data transmission requires
a intermediate output interface.
Loopback interface is applied to the following cases,
l To be convenient for network management, administrator will create a Loopback

interface for each switch after finishing the network planning. Administrator specifies
a IP address on the Loopback interface as administration address. The administration
address can be used by administrator to login switch by Telecommunication Network
Protocol (TELNET). In fact, the administration address is similar to a device name.
A switch has many interface and IP addresses, but people can not select any one to
login switch by TELNET. That is because TELNET uses Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) packets. Sometimes, one interface of router is down caused by fault, but
other interface still can be used for TELNET. That is to say, the TCP connection
3-1

is still existent. Therefore, the TELNET address to be selected has to be never be

down. Virtual interface can satisfy the requirement. Virtual does not need to connect
and communicate with the peer. To save address resource, IP address of Loopback
interface is usually specified to be 32 bites mask.
l The IP address of Loopback interface acts as Router-ID of dynamic routing protocol
(OSPF, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)).
In dynamic routing protocol running process (OSPF and BGP), a Router-ID needs to
be specified to act as the unique identifier of the router. The Router-ID is unique in
the entity Autonomous System. The Router-ID is a 32 bits unsigned integer, which
is very similar to IP address. IP address can not be repeated, therefore, Router-ID
is usually specified to be the IP address of a interface on switch. The IP address of
Loopback interface is usually regarded as identifier of switch, so it is the best choice
of Router-ID.
l It can act as the source address to be used by BGP to create TCP connection.
In BGP, the neighborhood is created by TCP connection between two switches
running BGP. Specify Loopback interfaces to be the source addresses to create TCP
connection. It is usually applied to Interior Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP), which
can enhance the robustness of TCP connection.
3.1.2 Configuring Loopback Interface

To configure a Loopback interface on ZXR10 5900E, perform the following steps.
1 ZXR10(config)# interface {<interface-name>| byname This enters interface

<byname>} configuration mode, configures
Loopback interface.
The Loopback range is 1-64.
2 ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ip address This configures IP address and

<ip-address><net-mask>[<broadcast-address>| secondary] mask of Loopback interface.
3 ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ipv6 enable This enables IPv6.
4 ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ipv6 address < This configures interface IPv6

X:X::X:X/<1-128>> address.
5 ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ipv6 address This configures interface IPv6

link-local < X:X::X:X > link local address.
6 ZXR10(config-if-interface-name)#ipv6 mtu This configures interface max

<1280-9216> transmit unit of uploading IPv6
packet.

Chapter 3 Logical Interface Configuration
<interface-name> Interface name

<ip-address> IP address, in dotted decimal notation
<net-mask> IP subnetwork mask, in dotted decimal notation
<broadcast-address> The broadcast address to be associated to the interface, in

dotted decimal notation.
secondary The secondary address of the interface
< X:X::X:X/<1-128>> X:X::X:X indicates the address to be configured on the

interface. The address format must comply with the
specifications in RFC2373. That is, 16 bits form a group
and the groups are separated by colons. The simple format
supported in the RFC2373 can be used.
<1-128> indicates the prefix length of an IPv6 address. The
decimal digit specifies the number of high-order bits that form
the prefix for consecutive IPv6 addresses.
< X:X::X:X > link-local address. The value of this parameter is the prefix of
the fe80::/10 address.
3.1.3 Maintaining Loopback Interface

Use show commands to locate and solve faults when Loopback interfaces are failed. There
are two common-used show commands.
l show ip interface
l show running-config-interface
By using these two commands, the interface configuration can be viewed.

3.2 NULL Interface Configuration

3.2.1 NULL Interface Overview
NULL interface is a logical interface, which is emulated by software. Usually, any interface
is allocated to a IP address, but NULL interface is the exception. IP address can not be
configured on NULL interface. NULL interface is applied to BGP that saves a IP address,
and it also can be used to configure blackhole route that avoid loop.
All the data packets transmitting to NULL interface are discarded. For example, use ip
route 192.101.0.0 255.255.0.0 null1 command to discard all the packets transmitting to
192.101.0.0.
3.2.2 Configuring NULL Interface

No configuration is needed on a Null interface.
3.2.3 Maintaining NULL Interface

To maintain NULL interface on ZXR10 5900E, use the following command.
Command Function
ZXR10#show running-config This shows the information of NULL interface.

3.2.4 NULL Interface Configuration Example

Configuration Description
NULL interface does not forward any packet. All the packets transmitting to NULL interface
are discarded. Due to this feature, NULL interface is applied to the following two cases,
l Prevent route ring
l Filter traffic
NULL interface usually acts as the next hop of route, which has the effect of blackhole
route. As shown in Figure 3-3, construct a blackhole route on S1 to introduce the host
route which destination address is 192.11.1.2 to the blackhole route.
Figure 3-3 NULL Interface Configuration Example
Configuration Thought
Configure NULL interface as the next hop of static route.
Configuration Commands
