IGMP v2

Improvements in IGMP v2:

1. Queries can be sent from the router to either all-hosts group, or members of a specific group
2. Hosts can dynamically leave groups
3. Querier election
4. Query interval response time

When a host wishes to leave a group, it sends a 'leave-group' message to 224.0.0.2

IGMP version is configured on an interface basis:

ip igmp version {1 2 3}

Router sends membership query to group specific address, host responds:
3 60.008772 172.16.40.1 224.0.0.1 IGMP V2 Membership Query, general
4 64.003868 172.16.40.10 239.255.255.250 IGMP V2 Membership Report / Join group 239.255.255.250

IGMP v1 - Internet Group Management Protocol

Switches record SRC MAC/interface to reduce the flooding of packets to all ports. Broadcast and multicast packets do not have a source MAC address, so by default are flooded out of all ports.

Static MAC table entries, Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP), and IGMP snooping are solutions to prevent the requirement to flood packets out of all ports. Performance improvements.

IGMP is a protocol that allows router/switch to determine a multicast group is being used, and to enable the switch to only forward packets to the interfaces wishing to recieve packets to that multicast group.

First phase is for the clients to identify themselves to the router, so that they can join the multicast group. In IGMP v1 this is via a membership report sent by the client to the destination mutlicast group, and intercepted by the router.

The router on each segment sends a query to the all hosts address 224.0.0.1, if it recieves one or more responses, the group is maintained, if not the group is removed.

In IGMP v1 there is no function to allow a host to remove its self from a group, it must 'age-out'.

Multicasting General

Unicast 1:1
Broadcast 1:all
Multicast 1:some

Multicasting addresses:

- 224.0.0.0/4
- Link local 224.0.0.0/24
- Source specific 232.0.0.0/24
- GLOP 233.0.0.0/8

Mutlicast OUI 0100.5e, 25th bt is always 0, last 23 bits are mapped from IP address.

IS-IS ISO Address

As IS-IS is protocol independant - sits at the data link layer, a non-ip address is used for routerid.

An ISO address is between 8 and 20 octets.

Address is broken into two sections (IDP/DSP), and is broken into three parts:

Area- group or location
ID - particular member of location
SEL - process on the host

IDP (interdomain part) External routing to AS, provided by ISO
- AFI - country code/international code/private
- IDI - organisation within the AFI
DSP (Domain Specific Part) - Internal routing within AS
- HODSP - area within AS
- System ID - might be based on IP or MAC address (cisco 6 bytes)
NSEL - Network Entity title 0x00

IS-IS Network Protocols

Hellos

End system Hello - ISO end system use ESH to attach to routers, IS-IS just attaches to local subnet
IS hello - used by router to announce its self to End system
Intermediate to Intermediate Hello (IIH) - used to meet iS neighbours

IS-IS General Info

Intermediate system to Intermediate System (IS-IS). Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).

Router = Intermediate System (IS)
PC= End-System (ES).

IS-IS is router to router communication.

Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) used for Connectionless Network Service (CLNS), network layer of OSI model.

IS-IS uses a CLNS address as router ID, and to group routers into areas, address is administrative only.

OSI supports four levels of routing:

Level 0 - End systems, end system to Intermediate system
Level 1 - Exchange routes within an area
Level 2 - Backbone between areas
Level 3 - AS to AS (inter-domain routing protocol IDRP)

IS-IS operates on levels 1/2 within and between areas.

Configuring OSPF authentication

Three types of authentication
- none (default)
- plain text
- MD5 hash

OSPF authentication is configured at interface level, interconnected routers need to have authentication enabled on appropriate interfaces, with same auth.

Authentication mis-match:
*Mar 1 00:04:27.851: OSPF: Rcv pkt from 192.168.2.1, FastEthernet0/0 : Mismatch Authentication type. Input packet specified type 0, we use type 2

OSPF with MD5 hash authentication:

!interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf authentication-key mysecret
duplex auto
speed auto

Debug ip ospf adj - troubleshoot authentication problems

Stub summary advertisements

Types of area

Standard area - every router knows every prefix
Stub area - does not accept type 5 external summary routes, default is provided by ABR
Totally stubby area - does not accept type 3,4,5 summary routes, default is provided by ABR
Not So Stubby area (NSSA) - stubby areas that can have an ASBR, type 5 LSA are disguised by type 7 LSA and converted to type 5 on ABR

Types of Link State Advertisemnt

Router link type 1 - lists neighbours and cost to each, flooded within an area
Network link type 2 - send by DR, lists all routers it is adjacent to, flooded within an area
Network summary link type 3 - send by ABR, lists prefixes in area, advertises summary
AS external ASBR summary link type 4 - send by ASBR, describes external route
External Link LSA type 5 - external route advertised by ASBR, type 5 can also be default-route
NSSA external type 7 -created by ASBR in not so stubby area, type 5 tunnelled through NSSA, converted to type 5 on ABR.

OSPF Router Types

Internal router - within an area, all interfaces within same area
Backbone router - all areas are interconnected via a backbone area 0interface in area 0
Area Border Router - connects two or more areas, holds a full topological database for each area, sends summary LSA
AS boundary router - connects to other routing domains, router typically located in backbone area

OSPF Network Types

OSPF assumes that all routers can communicate directly using multicast, and that no router is uniquely positioned. Routers on an Ethernet segment can communicate directly, however NBMA (None Broadcast Multi Access) network types are not able to.

The following are OSPF network types configurable on a Cisco interface:
- Broadcast multiaccess
- Point-to-point
- Point-to-multipoint
- None Broadcast Multiaccess (NBMA)

On NMBA networks multicast communications are simulated by sending advertisements directly to each neighbour.

Point-to-point or Ethernet networks are automatically detected
