Product Overview 2x100G XPP ILKN monitoring The 2x100G XPP ILKN monitoring feature will monitor CRC errors in the Interlaken link / interface between XPP1 and XPP2 in 2 packet processors for the 2x100G Ibzian card. In 2x100G cards, CRC errors on the Interlaken link between iXPP1 and iXPP2 in the packet processor result in packet drops. The 2x100G XPP ILKN monitoring feature will generate syslog and SNMP traps if software reads more than configured drops on ILKN links between iXPP1 and iXPP2.
Product Overview sysmon np interlaken-monitor The global configuration command sysmon np interlaken-monitor {crc-port-shutdown | disable} is used to shut down available 100G ports if drops in the ILKN interface are more than the configured number of drops (crc-port-shutdown); or disable the feature (disable).
Product Overview The show sysmon config CLI command will display the configuration details for ILKN CRC monitoring. Action is none by default. If sysmon np Interlaken-monitor crc-port-shutdown is configured, action will be displayed as DISABLE-PORTS. Mode will be displayed as POLLING by default and if the feature is disabled, then it will displayed as DISABLED. Poll period will display the value as 30 seconds, which is the global default configuration for this feature.

Product Overview b) 2. 3. Set the mode of the tunnel to IPsec IPv4 by entering the tunnel mode ipsec ipv4command. Configure the following values, if the default values are not acceptable. ∙ IKE Proposal ∙ IKE Policy ∙ IKE Profile ∙ IKE Authentication ∙ IPSEC Proposal ∙ IPSEC Profile Bind the IPsec Profile to the VTI interface using the tunnel protection ipsec profile profilename command. Configuring Global IKEv2 Options Configure global IKEv2 options that are independent of peers.
Product Overview IKEv2 Option Description NOTE Not supported for NI R05.8.00 release. Configuring the IKEv2 Proposal IKEv2 Proposal sets the configurable parameters which are exchange during IKEv2 peer negotiation during the first phase. The default IKEv2 proposal requires no configuration and its parameters are as follows: ∙ Encryption: aes-cbc-256 ∙ PRF: sha384 ∙ Integrity: sha384 ∙ dh-group: 20 This default IKEv2 proposal will be known as ikev2-default-proposal.
Product Overview IKEv2 Option Description integrity {sha1} {sha256} {sha384} {sha512} Integrity algorithm to be used to protect IKEv2 data. Multiple algorithms may be specified. The following are supported: ∙ sha1 — specifies SHA-1 (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm. ∙ sha256 — specifies SHA-2 family 256-bit (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm. ∙ sha384 — specifies SHA-2 family 384-bit (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm.
Product Overview For an outgoing connection, the IKE profile is chosen based on the IPsec-Profile used by VTI. The IKE policy will be selected based on the local IP-address. The following rules apply to match statements: ∙ An IKEv2 profile must contain an identity to match; otherwise, the profile is considered incomplete and is not used. An IKEv2 profile can have more than one match identity. ∙ An IKEv2 VRF will match with the VTI Base VRF.
Product Overview IKEv2 Option Description Protected The VRF traffic to protect using IPsec. If the tunnel VRF and protected VRF does not match, the IKE session is not initiated. Change to this parameter is not allowed if the profile is already in use by a tunnel. (Default value is any VRF.) Configuring the IKEv2 authentication proposal IKEV2 peers must be authenticated for their identity. Local IKE connections need to send a local-identity to peers for authentication.
Product Overview IKEv2 Option Description encryption-algorithm {aesgcm-256} Configure the encryption algorithm to be supported. transform {esp} Configure transform to be used. NOTE For the first release gcm-256 is supported. For release 5.8.00 esp will be supported. ESN-enable Enable Extended Sequence Number in this transform. By default it is disabled.
