CEF on c6500 with MSM

danielbarri

I'm mot sure if CEF is working att all.

-----------------

We are running ios Version 12.0(4a)WX5(11) on the MSM.

CEF is enabled:

spt-3-4-ro#sh ip cef summary

IP CEF with switching (Table Version 19976)

628 routes, 0 reresolve, 0 unresolved (0 old, 0 new)

628 leaves, 99 nodes, 177132 bytes, 19981 inserts, 19353 invalidations

0 load sharing elements, 0 bytes, 0 references

2 CEF resets, 0 revisions of existing leaves

refcounts: 26756 leaf, 25600 node

Adjacency Table has 464 adjacencies

------------

But show interfaces stat does not show anything in the route cache counters, everything is only in the procesor counter. According the documentation for CEF "Execute the show interface stats command and confirm incrementing hits for route cache inbound.

Note: The route cache counter includes both fast-switched and CEF-switched packets."

Are ther some explanations for why the Route cache is 0 for all interfaces?

Do a check with show ip interface command and see if CEF is disabled. If yes then enable with ip route cache cef command and then do a show interface statistics.

Hope this helps

Hello Maneesh,

The show ip interface for GigabitEthernetX/X/X and Port-channer1 shows:

---------

spt-3-4-ro#sh ip interface

GigabitEthernet0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Internet protocol processing disabled

GigabitEthernet1/0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Internet protocol processing disabled

Controller0 is up, line protocol is up

Internet protocol processing disabled

GigabitEthernet3/0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Internet protocol processing disabled

GigabitEthernet4/0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Internet protocol processing disabled

Port-channel1 is up, line protocol is up

But the show ip interface for Port-chanel1.X (the vllans) show

IP fast switching is disabled

IP fast switching on the same interface is disabled

IP CEF switching is enabled
