Chapter 34 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
You can also enable the logging of messages generated when a BGP neighbor resets, comes up, or goes
down by using the bgp log-neighbor changes router configuration command.
Configuring Protocol-Independent Features
This section describes how to configure IP routing protocol-independent features. These features are
available on switches running the SMI or the EMI; except that with the SMI, protocol-related features
are available only for RIP. For a complete description of the IP routing protocol-independent commands
in this chapter, refer to the “IP Routing Protocol-Independent Commands” chapter of the Cisco IOS IP
Command Reference, Volume 2 of 3: Routing Protocols, Release 12.2.

Configuring Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is a Layer 3 IP switching technology used to optimize network
performance. CEF implements an advanced IP look-up and forwarding algorithm to deliver maximum
Layer 3 switching performance. CEF is less CPU-intensive than fast switching route caching, allowing
more CPU processing power to be dedicated to packet forwarding. In a Catalyst 3750 switch stack, the
hardware uses distributed CEF (dCEF) in the stack. In dynamic networks, fast switching cache entries
are frequently invalidated because of routing changes, which can cause traffic to be process switched
using the routing table, instead of fast switched using the route cache. CEF and dCEF use the Forwarding
Information Base (FIB) lookup table to perform destination-based switching of IP packets.
