address-family ipv4

To enter address family configuration mode for configuring routing sessions, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), that use standard IPv4 address prefixes, use the address-family ipv4 command in router configuration mode. To disable address family configuration mode, use the no form of this command.

address-family ipv4 [multicast | unicast | vrf vrf-name]

no address-family ipv4 [multicast | unicast | vrf vrf-name]

Syntax Description

multicast

(Optional) Specifies IPv4 multicast address prefixes.

unicast

(Optional) Specifies IPv4 unicast address prefixes.

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) Specifies the name of the virtual routing and forwarding instance (VRF) to associate with subsequent IPv4 address family configuration mode commands.


Defaults

IPv4 address prefixes are not enabled. Unicast address prefixes are the default when IPv4 address prefixes are configured.

Command Modes

Router configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(5)T

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The address-family ipv4 command places the router in address family configuration mode (prompt: config-router-af), from which you can configure routing sessions that use standard IPv4 address prefixes. To leave address family configuration mode and return to router configuration mode, type exit.

Routing information for address family IPv4 is advertised by default when you configure a BGP routing session using the neighbor remote-as command unless you execute the no bgp default ipv4-unicast command.

The address-family ipv4 command replaces the match nlri and set nlri commands.

Examples

The following example places the router in address family configuration mode for the IPv4 address family:

Router(config)# router bgp 100
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4
Router(config-router-af)#

The following example places the router in address family configuration mode and specifies multicast address prefixes for the IPv4 address family:

Router(config)# router bgp 100
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 multicast
Router(config-router-af)#

The following example places the router in address family configuration mode and specifies unicast address prefixes for the IPv4 address family:

Router(config)# router bgp 100
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
Router(config-router-af)#

The following example places the router in address family configuration mode and specifies cisco as the name of the VRF instance to associate with subsequent IPv4 address family configuration mode commands:

Router(config)# router bgp 100
Router(config-router)# address-family ipv4 vrf cisco
Router(config-router-af)#

Use this form of the command, which specifies a VRF, only to configure routing exchanges between provider edge (PE) and customer edge (CE) devices.

ip dvmrp metric

To configure the metric associated with a set of destinations for Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) reports, use the ip dvmrp metric command in interface configuration mode. (Note that this command has two different syntax possibilities.) To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

ip dvmrp metric metric [route-map map-name] [mbgp] [list access-list-number] [[protocol process-id] | dvmrp]

no ip dvmrp metric metric [route-map map-name] [mbgp] [list access-list-number] [[protocol process-id] | dvmrp]

Syntax Description

metric

Metric associated with a set of destinations for DVMRP reports. It can be a value from 0 to 32. A value of 0 means that the route is not advertised. A value of 32 is equivalent to infinity (unreachable).

route-map map-name

(Optional) Name of a route map. If you specify this argument, only the destinations that match the route map are reported with the configured metric. Unicast routes are subject to route map conditions before being injected into DVMRP. Route maps cannot be used for DVMRP routes.

mbgp

(Optional) Configures redistribution of only IPv4 multicast routes into DVMRP.

list access-list-number

(Optional) Number of an access list. If you specify this argument, only the multicast destinations that match the access list are reported with the configured metric. Any destinations not advertised because of split horizon do not use the configured metric.

protocol

(Optional) Name of unicast routing protocol, such as bgp, dvmrp, eigrp, igrp, isis, ospf, rip, or static.

If you specify these values, only routes learned by the specified routing protocol are advertised in DVMRP report messages.

process-id

(Optional) Process ID number of the unicast routing protocol.

dvmrp

(Optional) Allows routes from the DVMRP routing table to be advertised with the configured metric, or filtered.


Defaults

No metric is preconfigured. Only directly connected subnets and networks are advertised to neighboring DVMRP routers.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

10.2

This command was introduced.

11.1

The route-map keyword was added.

11.1(20)CC

This mbgp keyword was added.

12.0(7)T

This mbgp keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

When Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is configured on an interface and DVMRP neighbors are discovered, the Cisco IOS software sends DVMRP report messages for directly connected networks. The ip dvmrp metric command enables DVMRP report messages for multicast destinations that match the access list. Usually, the metric for these routes is 1. Under certain circumstances, you might want to tailor the metric used for various unicast routes. This command lets you configure the metric associated with a set of destinations for Report messages sent out this interface.

You can use the access-list-number argument in conjunction with the protocol and process-id arguments to selectively list the destinations learned from a given routing protocol.

To display DVMRP activity, use the debug ip dvmrp command.

Examples

The following example connects a PIM cloud to a DVMRP cloud. Access list 1 permits the sending of DVMRP reports to the DVMRP routers advertising all sources in the 172.16.35.0 network with a metric of 1. Access list 2 permits all other destinations, but the metric of 0 means that no DVMRP reports are sent for these destinations.

access-list 1 permit 172.16.35.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 deny 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
access-list 2 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
interface tunnel 0
 ip dvmrp metric 1 list 1
 ip dvmrp metric 0 list 2

The following example redistributes IPv4 multicast routes into DVMRP neighbors with a metric of 1:

interface tunnel 0
 ip dvmrp metric 1 mbgp

Related Commands

Command
Description

debug ip dvmrp

Displays information on DVMRP packets received and sent.

ip dvmrp accept-filter

Configures an acceptance filter for incoming DVMRP reports.


ip multicast cache-headers

To allocate a circular buffer to store IPv4 multicast packet headers that the router receives, use the ip multicast cache-headers global configuration command. To disable the buffer, use the no form of this command.

ip multicast cache-headers [rtp]

no ip multicast cache-headers

Syntax Description

rtp

(Optional) Caches Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) headers.


Defaults

This command is disabled by default.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

11.1

This command was introduced.

11.1(20)CC

The rtp keyword was added.

12.0(7)T

The rtp keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

You can store IPv4 multicast packet headers in a cache and then display them to determine the following:

Who is sending IP multicast packets to which groups

Interpacket delay

Duplicate IP multicast packets (if any)

Multicast forwarding loops in your network (if any)

Scope of the group

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port numbers

Packet length


Note This feature allocates a circular buffer of approximately 32 KB. Do not configure this feature if the router is low on memory.


Use the show ip mpacket command to display the buffer.

Examples

The following example allocates a buffer to store IPv4 multicast packet headers:

ip multicast cache-headers

Related Commands

Command
Description

show ip mpacket

Displays the contents of the circular cache-header buffer.

show ip mpacket quality

redistribute dvmrp

To configure redistribution of Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) routes into multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), use the redistribute dvmrp command in address family or router configuration mode. To stop such redistribution, use the no form of this command.

redistribute dvmrp [route-map map-name]

no redistribute dvmrp [route-map map-name]

Syntax Description

route-map map-name

(Optional) Name of the route map that contains various BGP attribute settings.


Defaults

DVMRP routes are not redistributed into multiprotocol BGP.

Command Modes

Address family configuration

Router configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

11.1(20)CC

This command was introduced.

12.0(7)T

Address family configuration mode was added.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command if you have a subset of DVMRP routes in an autonomous system that you want to take the multiprotocol BGP path. Define a route map to further specify which DVMRP routes get redistributed.

Examples

The following router configuration mode example redistributes DVMRP routes to BGP peers that match access list 1:

router bgp 109
 redistribute dvmrp route-map dvmrp-into-mbgp
route-map dvmrp-into-mbgp
 match ip address 1

The following address family configuration mode example redistributes DVMRP routes to multiprotocol BGP peers that match access list 1:

router bgp 109
address-family ipv4 multicast
 redistribute dvmrp route-map dvmrp-into-mbgp

route-map dvmrp-into-mbgp
 match ip address 1

set nlri

The address-family ipv4 and address-family vpnv4 commands replace the set nlri command. See the descriptions of the address-family ipv4 or address-family vpnv4 command for more information.

show ip mbgp

The show ip bgp ipv4 multicast command replaces the show ip mbgp command. See the description of the show ip bgp ipv4 multicast command for more information.

show ip bgp ipv4 multicast

To display IPv4 multicast database-related information, use the show ip bgp ipv4 multicast command in EXEC mode.

show ip bgp ipv4 multicast [command]

Syntax Description

command

(Optional) Any multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) command supported by the show ip bgp ipv4 multicast command.


Command Modes
