Intelligent Service Card Client; Universal Routing Information Base; Verifying The Rise Configuration - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RISE
When the ISCC receives an RHI message from NetScaler, it sends a TLV and encrypted message to ISCM
containing the RHI payload and RISE headers. ISCM transport decrypts and processes the RHI message.
Each RHI message contains a common header with RHI opcode and a RHI request payload. The message
header also contains the number of RHI entries contained in the RHI request payload.
The ISCM also checks the status of the SVI for the VLAN sent by NetScaler. It obtains the interface number
for the SVI and call the URIB APIs to add, delete, or delete all routes. The other parameters sent in the URIB
API are present in the RHI request payload received by the ISCM. All routes are added as static routes to the
VRF that this SVI is associated with.

Intelligent Service Card Client

The Intelligent Service Card Client (ISCC) is the SDK component on NetScaler The Route Health Injection
(RHI) message is a pass-through message for the ISCC. The ISCC copies the payload from NetScaler into
the RHI message payload directed towards to the Intelligent Service Card Manager (ISCM).
The ISCM sends an acknowledgment when its processes the RHI message, then the ISCC transparently sends
the acknowledgment to NetScaler. NetScaler is responsible for starting a timer and handling the failure if it
does not receive an acknowledgment in time.

Universal Routing Information Base

The Universal Routing Information Base (URIB) hosts APIs to add, delete and modify routes on the Supervisor.
The details of route modification are transparent to the ISCM.

Verifying the RISE Configuration

To display the RISE configuration on the Cisco Nexus Series switch, perform one of the following tasks.
