Ability to Configure Fixed Encap IDs for Active-standby redundancy setup
with Virtual MAC configuration
with Virtual MAC configuration
The fixed encap-id CLI command allows you to configure the fixed encap entries for the configured
VMAC, active and standby MACs in an active-standby redundancy setup with Virtual MAC
configuration setup. By default the ICM module in ACE searches for learned encap ID for any source
mac in Mac lookup table for bridging and route lookup table for routing before creating a new
connection. The new fixed encap-id command allows you to configure source vlan id, VMAC, active
mac and standby mac. After configuring this CLI, ACE CP module creates a fixed encap ID for these
MACs and writes this information into DP. After that if any new connection request hitting ICM from
this client interface and source mac is matching with any one of the three configured MACs (VMAC,
Active and Standby), then the ICM establishes the connection with the encap id created during the fixed
encap configuration.

encap configuration.
The ICM module currently selects the encap ID by traversing through the mac lookup table for bridge
mode and route lookup table for route mode. Fixed encap-id feature is implemented to choose
fixed-encap id by ICM for configured vlan id and mac addresses. ICM selects the encap id reserved by
CP during the fixed encap configuration when the source vlan and mac address matched with the
configured values.

New CLI Commands
Included below is a summary of the new CLI commands added to configure Fixed encap entries:
fix-encap vlan <vlan id> vmac <6 bytes mac address in hexa decimal> mac1 <6 bytes mac
address in hexa decimal> mac2 <6 bytes mac address in hexa decimal>
Note
Use the delimiter “.” between each byte of the mac address ( For Example: 00.14.5e.84.5b.3f )
