Quick Reference Tables

clock_image

It is often difficult to remember various aspects of all the different protocols out there in network engineering – timer values, behavioural defaults and election winning criteria are some of the hardest things to keep straight in your head. This page is intended to be a quick reference specifically for the following:

  • Default values
  • Timers
  • Elections

It will be updated overtime and, I imagine, always be woefully incomplete given the number of protocols in existence. However my hope is that this can be a page you can have open on the side while studying to refresh your memory on the gritty specifics that just slip your mind.

If Vendor/Platform field just mentions Cisco (rather than IOS or XR specifically) you can assume it applied to both IOS and XR. Juniper refers to SRX.

BGP

Feature Vendor/Platform Default Value/Metric Comment
Communities Cisco XR By default, XRs advertise both standard and extended to iBGP peers. They do not advertise them to eBGP peers. Use commands send-community-ebgp and send-extended-community-ebgp under the neighbor address family to send standard and extended communities respectively.
Communities Cisco IOS and Cisco NXOS Neither standard nor extended are advertised to either iBGP or eBGP. Enable per neighbor using neighbor x send-community [standard|extended|both]
Administrative Distance for iBGP Cisco 200 n/a
Administrative Distance for iBGP Juniper  170 n/a
Administrative Distance for eBGP Cisco 20 n/a
Administrative Distance for eBGP Juniper 170 n/a
Hello Timer Cisco 60 n/a
Weight Attribute Cisco 32,768 if locally originated. 0 otherwise. Higher is better This is Cisco Proprietary.
Local Preference Cisco Default 100. Higher is better. Well-Known Discretionary attribute.
Domain ID when redistributing from OSPF to BGP Cisco IOS Automatically encodes it based on process ID. n/a
Domain ID when redistributing from OSPF to BGP Cisco XR Does not encode it. This adheres to RFC 4577
Redistributing different OSPF route types into BGP from OSPF Cisco Only intra and inter areas routes are redistributed. External routes are not. External route can be redistributed by adding the external 1 external 2  command to the end of the redistribute command.
MED Cisco Default is 0, unless redistributing from OSPF in which case it is the OSPF cost. Lower is better n/a
MED Comparison Cisco Only compared if the neighboring AS is the same for competing routes. Routes are compared from newest to oldest Use IOS command bgp always-compare-med and XR command bgp  bestpath med always to force MED to be compared regardless of neighboring AS. The deterministic med feature will group paths from common ASes together during BGP prefix comparison rather than going from oldest to newest.
Address-family ipv4 unicast Cisco IOS This is enabled by default whenever configuring a neighbor. Regardless of whether or not you use the ipv4 address family. Disable this behaviour using no bgp default ipv4-unicast BGP command under the global process.
Router ID Cisco IOS In order of preference:

 

  1. Configured Router ID (using bgp router-id command.
  2. Highest numbered loopback.
  3. Highest physical interface that is up.
 Changing the BGP Router ID will cause sessions to flap.
Router ID Cisco IOS-XR In order of preference:

 

  1. Configured Router ID (using bgp router-id command.
  2. Highest numbered loopback.
 Changing the BGP Router ID will cause sessions to flap. Not that IOS-XR will not select a physical interface IP as its Router ID.
Inbound update filtering order of execution Cisco IOS
  1. route-map
  2. filter-list (AS_PATH access list)
  3. prefix -list
  4. distribute-list
 n/a
Outbound update filtering order of execution Cisco IOS
  1. filter-list
  2. route-map | unsupress-map
  3. advertise-map
  4. prefix-list
  5. distribute-list
  6. ORF prefix-list
 n/a
AS notation Cisco asplain notation asplain notation makes the AS number appear as a single integer. Change to as-dot notation using bgp asnotation dot IOS command under BGP or as-format asdot global XR command.
TCP MSS size for BGP session between two peers Cisco IOS-XR 1240 bytes If MTU path discovery is enabled this will change to the maximal values of 1460
BGP Keepalive Cisco 60 seconds Change using the BGP subcommand timers bgp . The command is the same for IOS and XR
BGP Holdtime Cisco 180 seconds Change using the BGP subcommand timers bgp . The command is the same for IOS and XR
BGP AIGP Comparison Cisco If these is a mix, prefixes without AIGP configured are ignored. This default configuration can be overridden with the bgp bestpath igp ignore command.
Multipath when only maximum paths x is specified. Cisco IOS eBGP multipath will be enabled. Add the suffix ibgp or eibgp to enable the other nodes.

OSPF

Feature Vendor/Platform Default Value/Metric Comment
Redistribution metric from non-OSPF protocol. Cisco Metric defaults to 20 when redistributing into OSPF. Unless source is BGP, in which case the metric will be 1. This is assuming no MED is set in the BGP being distributed. Also, the Default OSPF network is E2.
Reflood Timer Cisco 30 minutes A router will reflood LSAs every 30 minutes after incrementing the sequence number by 1
maximum-paths Cisco 4 The number of equal cost OSPF paths that can be added to the routing table. OSPF doesn’t support unequal cost load balancing.

Summary Route Metric Cisco Lowest metric of all routes that it is advertising This pertains to inter-area summarisation using the area range [cost ] command.
default-information originate metric

 

and

default metric for stub area default routes.

 Cisco 1 If not specified, the default information originate  IOS command (used to send a type 5 LSA into an OSPF area as a default) applies an OSPF cost of 1 to the default route. The default metric-type used is 2.
Network Type on WAN Link (like serial) or Tunnel Cisco Point-to-point n/a
Network Type on LAN/Ethernet Cisco Broadcast n/a
Hello on point-to-point and broadcast networks Cisco 10s n/a

1. Highest interface priority wins (default 1, max 255)

2. Highest Router ID

 On a DR is elected the process is repeated for the BDR
Flooding of TE information Cisco Done every 3 minutes Configuration, Link and Bandwidth changes will trigger these updates to take place sooner.
Initial LSA Generation Timer Cisco IOS-XR 50ms This delays the generation of an LSA after a failure, to consolidate multiple updates and still provide good reaction time. This varies with an exponential backoff timer.

Metric Style Cisco Narrow This only allows a maximum metric of 63 if not changed to wide. Multi-topology requires metric style wide.
Hello Timer Cisco 10s Change with IOS command isis hello-interval [level]
Holdtime Multiplier Cisco 3 This means a neighbor is seen as dead after 3 hello intervals have passed. Change with IOS command isis hello-multiplier [level]
LSP Lifetime Cisco 20mins If not refreshed, and if this counter reaches zero the LSP will be purged (meaning the LSP header is advertised with an empty body and lifetime set to 0).
LSP Refresh Cisco 15mins This resets the LSP lifetime. Changing using Cisco IOS cli command lsp-refresh interval
ZeroAgeLifeTime Cisco 60s If LSP has been purged (after 20 mins with no refresh) the expired LSP will be deleted from the database after this timer has expired.

MPLS

Feature Vendor/Platform Default Value/Metric Comment
LDP – Router ID Cisco 1. Configured address using mpls ldp router-id (in IOS)

 

2. Highest numbered loopback

3. Highest numbered interface IP.

 This election only seems to take place once when LDP is brought up and is only subsequently run when the current ID (or interface configured with the ID) is changed.
LDP – Transport Address Cisco This is the LDP router ID and is included in LDP Hello messages. The transport address is used to establish the TCP sessions between LDP neighbors. This can be changed in IOS using mpls ldp discovery transport-address [interface | ip-address]
LDP Discovery Hello Cisco 5s Change using mpls ldp discovery hello interval IOS command
LDP Discovery Hold Time Cisco 15s Change using mpls ldp discovery holdtime interval IOS command
MPLS VPN – Service Label Allocation Cisco Uses per-prefix mode Different label sets are kept for ipv4 and ipv6 (even if using per-vrf)
MPLS VPN – Service Label Allocation Junos Users per-vrf The same label will be allocated for both v4 and v6 labels with the same VRF
LDP Session Holdtime Cisco 180 seconds This is the holdtime for the TCP session between neighbors and not the hello adjacency
LDP Session Keepalive interval Cisco 60 seconds n/a
LDP Session Protection Duration Cisco Infinite Change on IOS using mpls ldp session protection duration command
MPLS TTL Propagation Cisco Enabled Disable using  no mpls ip propagate-ttl [forwarded|local] (IOS) or  mpls ip-ttl-propagate disable [forwarded|local] (XR)
LDP Session Protection Holdtime Cisco 864000 seconds n/a
LDP Control Mode Cisco Independent The LSR creates a local label for a FEC independent of other LSRs
LDP Control Mode Juniper Ordered The LSR will only create a local binding if it either recognises itself as the egress LSR for a given FEC or if it receives a label binding from the next-hop for the given FEC

Segment Routing

Feature Vendor/Platform Default Value/Metric Comment
PHP-off flag in SID advertisements Cisco Unset This is a sort of double negative. If the PHP-off flag is unset, then the upstream neighbor will perform PHP.
Explicit-Null Flag in SID advertisements Cisco Unset If the Explicit-Null Flag is set, the PHP-off Flag must be set as well.
SRGB Label Range Cisco 16,000 – 23,999 Change using IOS-XR global command segment-routing global-block
SRLB Label Range Cisco 15,000 – 15,999 Change using IOS-XR global command segment-routing local-block
Router ID used in IS-IS SR Capability TLV Cisco IOS-XR In order of preference:
  1. The configured MPLS-TE router-id.
  2. The configured IS-IS router-id.
  3. Lowest IPv4 loopback under IS-IS instance.
  4. Lowest IPv4 non-loopback under IS-IS instance.
 It is recommended this be set to one the /32 loopback of the device and also to make this same /32 the node-SID for the router.
SR-TE Candidate Path Preference Cisco The default preference is 100 n/a
SR-TE Candidate Path Selection Cisco The valid candidate path with the highest preference  becomes the “Active” Path of the corresponding SR Policy All candidate paths must be valid
Weight assigned to SID List that is part of an Explicit Candidate Path Cisco 1 A SID List is invalid of the Weight is 0. The Weight value for a SID Lists controls the amount of traffic steered over the List, relative to other SID lists in the set.
Selecting an Adj-SID based on a Segment Descriptor that is an IP address on a point-to-point link Cisco The head-end router, if given the option of two Adj-SIDs (one protected and one unprotected) will select the protected Adj-SID by default when resolving the descriptor to its corresponding label n/a
Automated Steering Cisco Enabled by default If a headend H with a valid SR Policy P(C,E) receives a BGP route B/b with color C and next-hop E, then H automatically installs B/b via P in the forwarding plane.
Headend calculating candidate path, when local and PCE based options are available Cisco Headend will try to calculate path locally by default. Falling back to PCE if it must. If pcep is configured under the dynamic section on an ODR template (in XR), then only the SR PCE will be used.
Custom Flex-Algo range Cisco Identifier value will be between 128 and 255 Flex-Algo contains (1) A calculation Type, (2) Optimisation Objective (3) Constraints
Advertisement by IGP of local Flex-Algo definition Cisco Not done by default Use advertise-definition under flex-algo config mode under the IGP to advertise it out
Flex-Algo priority Cisco 128 n/a
Flex-Algo metric type Cisco IGP Use metric-type delay XR command to change to metric (under flex-algo config mode under the IGP)
Flex-Algo election Cisco 1. Highest Flex-Algo Priority

 

2. If IS-IS, highest system ID. If OSPF, highest Router ID

 Both local and remote algorithm are considered. Local algorithms, however are only considered if they are advertised.
BSID allocation Cisco This is done dynamically by default. If manual BSIDs are used it is recommended that they are taken from the SRLB. To allocate manually use binding-sid mpls under the policy configuration.
BSID (dynamic) allocation range Cisco IOS-XR 24,000-1,046,575 This pool of labels is the range XR uses for automatic allocation
Requested BSID unavailable Cisco IOS-XR Allocation fails Use the IOS-XR binding-sid explicit fallback-dynamic command under segment-routing > traffic-eng to allow the router to select a dynamic BSID if the manually requested one is not available.
SRLB (explicit) Label Range Cisco IOS-XR 15,000 – 15,999 This is the range of local labels reserved for explicitly specified local segments (meaning dynamic allocations will ignore this range). Change using the local-block   segment-routing  command
Preferred SR Policy for BGP service route with multiple colors Cisco Highest matching color is used by AS to determine what SR Policy to steer the traffic into. If the active policy becomes invalid, the next numerically highest one is taken.
CO (Color-Only) value Cisco 00. The default value of 00 means there must be a matching next hop for it to be steering into an SR Policy. The CO bits are part of the BGP Opaque Color community. It allows AS to steer traffic into SR Policies based on Color alone, if there is not a direct match with the Next-Hop.
Autoroute configured AND Automated Steering configured for a given route Cisco Automated Steering will take precedence This behaviour is because colored BGP routes will recurse onto their BSID rather than their BGP next hops.
Routing Protocol Instance Identifier Cisco If not specified, defaults to 0 This is used to uniquely identify a routing protocol instance within an SR domain. It must be the same across all nodes participating in this instance and crosses area/level boundaries. Set using IOS-XR  distribute link-state instance-id segment-routing command.
PPC reporting to PCE Cisco Will only send reports for Policies that it delegates to the PCE Change is using the IOS-XR report-all command under the pcc config.
PCE Preference Cisco 255. Lower is more preferred. This precedence is used by the headend to choose between multiple PCEs. Change using the IOS-XR command precedence under the pcc config on the headend.
PCE Session Keepalive Cisco IOS-XR 30 seconds This timer restarts every time any PCEP message is sent. If it expires (meaning no other PCEP traffic has been sent using the period) a keepalive is send. Change using the timers heepalive command under the pce or pcc config.
PCE Session Dead timer Cisco IOS-XR 120 seconds Receipt of any PCEP message (keepalive or not) from a peer will reset the PCEP Session Holdtime. If this dead timer expires the PCEP session will be brought down. Change using the timers deadtimer command under the pce or pcc config.
Re-delegation Timer for head-end initiated paths Cisco IOS-XR 0 seconds This is the amount of time a headend will waits after a PCE become unreachable (either through timer expiration or lost of forwarding entry) before attempting to re-delegate paths to an SR PCE. It is hard set to 0 in IOS-XR and cannot be changed.
State-Timeout for head-end initiated paths Cisco IOS-XR 120 seconds This is the amount of time a headend will keep orphaned paths (paths that cannot be re-delegated following a PCEP failure) valid for following a PCEP becoming unreachable. Change using the delegation-timeout command.
Re-delegation Timer for PCE initiated paths Cisco IOS-XR 3 minutes This is the amount of time a headend will waits after a PCE become unreachable (either through timer expiration or lost of forwarding entry) before attempting to re-delegate paths to an SR PCE. This is configurable.
State-Timeout for PCE initiated paths Cisco IOS-XR 10 minutes This is the amount of time a headend will keep orphaned paths (paths that cannot be re-delegated following a PCEP failure) valid for following a PCEP becoming unreachable.
Master/Slave relationship between PCEs Cisco IOS-XR The PCE with the lowest PCE Session IP address is the Master. This is used to prevent split brain situations. The Slave PCE will sub-delegates its path computations to the Master.
Delay Measurement mode (one or two way) Cisco IOS-XR Two-way is used when link delay measurement is first enabled. n/a
Delay Measurement – Probe Interval Cisco IOS-XR 30 seconds Every Probe Interval the querier sends a probe. A probe consists of one or more queries (the number of which is called a burst count).
Delay Measurement – Burst Count Cisco IOS-XR 10 The number of queries sent for one probe is called the burst count.
Delay Measurement – Burst Interval Cisco IOS-XR 3 seconds The burst interval is the time period between two queries.
Delay Measurement – Advertisement Interval Cisco IOS-XR 120 seconds Also called the aggregation interval. The querier will aggregate the delay measurement of multiple probes every advertisement interval.
Periodic advertisements Cisco IOS-XR Enabled by default Edit settings under performace-monitoring > delay-profile interfaces > advertisement > periodic mode
Accelerated advertisements Cisco IOS-XR Disabled by default Edit settings under performace-monitoring > delay-profile interfaces > advertisement > accelerated mode
Periodic Percentage threshold Cisco IOS-XR 10% Upon completion of the advertisement interval and the aggregate calculation, the latest aggregated min delay metric is compared to the last value advertised. If the new value differs from the old by 10% (by default) and 500 micro seconds (by default) the IGP will flood all the new aggregated delay metrics.
Periodic Minimum threshold Cisco IOS-XR 500 micro seconds (see comment above on Periodic Percentage threshold)
Accelerated Percentage threshold Cisco IOS-XR 20% Upon completion of each probe interval, the latest min delay metric is compared to the last value advertised. If the new value differs from the old by 10% (by default) and 500 micro seconds (by default) the IGP will flood all the new minimum delay metrics.
Accelerated Minimum Delay threshold Cisco IOS-XR 500 micro seconds (see comment above on Accelerated Periodic Percentage threshold)
Metric used if the Link Delay metric is not advertised the node – Flex-Algo not used Cisco IOS-XR Fallback to TE metric using microseconds as unit. This helps with incremental deployment.
Metric used if the Link Delay metric is not advertised the node – Flex-Algo Cisco IOS-XR The link is excluded from the Flex-Algo topology if link metric is not advertised. n/a
Behaviour when SR Policy becomes invalid Cisco IOS-XR Falls back to shortest IGP metric n/a
Tie-breaker for candidate paths with same preference Cisco 1. Highest Protocol-Origin

 

2. Existing installed path (optional, only if activated by config)

3. Lowest Originator

4. Highest Discriminator

 Protocol-Origin = PCEP(10), BGP-SR-TE(20), Config(30). Originator = Tuple <ASN(4 byte),node-address. Discriminator = Numerical value to distinguish between candidate path with same Protocol-Origin and Originator
