Command Syntax
A command is one or more words that might be followed by one or more parameters.
Parameters can be required or optional values.
Some commands, such as show network or clear vlan, do not require parameters.
Other commands, such as network parms, require that you supply a value after the
command. You must type the parameter values in a specific order, and optional parameters
follow required parameters. The following example describes the network parms
command syntax:
Format

network parms   [gateway]

•

network parms is the command name.

•

 and  are parameters and represent required values that you must
enter after you type the command keywords.

Using the Command-Line Interface
10

ProSafe Managed Switch

•

[gateway] is an optional parameter, so you are not required to enter a value in place of
the parameter.

The New Template User Manual lists each command by the command name and provides a
brief description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following
information:
•

Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.

•

Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.

•

Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.

The show commands also contain a description of the information that the command shows.

Command Conventions
In this document, the command name is in bold font. Parameters are in italic font. You
must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value, which might be a name or
number. Parameters are order dependent.
The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or keyword
choices. Table 1 describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish between value
types.

Common Parameter Values
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System

Using the Command-Line Interface
11

ProSafe Managed Switch

Name with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid
user-defined strings. Table 2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
Parameter

Description

ipaddr

This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the following formats:
a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal formats
through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal or decimal
number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)

ipv6-address

FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.

Interface or
unit/slot/port

Valid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For example, 0/1 represents slot
number 0 and port number 1.

Logical Interface

Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel
(LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the port-channel.

Character strings

Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System Name with
Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.

Unit/Slot/Port Naming Convention
Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a
unit/slot/port naming convention. The software also uses this convention to identify certain
logical entities, such as Port-Channel interfaces.
The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card containing
the ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of interface or port.
Table 3. Type of Slots
Slot Type

Description

Physical slot numbers

Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the maximum
number of physical slots.

Logical slot numbers

Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-channel (LAG) or
router interfaces.

CPU slot numbers

The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.

Using the Command-Line Interface
12

ProSafe Managed Switch

The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given
slot.
Table 4. Type of Ports
Port Type

Description

Physical Ports

The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from zero.

Logical Interfaces

Port-channel or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) interfaces are logical interfaces
that are only used for bridging functions.
VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions.
Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces that are always up.
Tunnel interfaces are logical point-to-point links that carry encapsulated packets.

CPU ports

CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on
physical slots.

Note: In the CLI, loopback and tunnel interfaces do not use the
unit/slot/port format. To specify a loopback interface, you use the
loopback ID. To specify a tunnel interface, you use the tunnel ID.

Using a Command’s “No” Form
The no keyword is a specific form of an existing command and does not represent a new or
distinct command. Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, use the
no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For
example, the no shutdown configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface.
Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a
feature that is disabled by default. Only the configuration commands are available in the no
form.

Managed Switch Modules
Managed switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various
combinations to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command
modes available on your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some
show commands, the output fields might change based on the modules included in the
software.
The software suite includes the following modules:
•

Switching (Layer 2)

•

Routing (Layer 3)

•

IPv6—IPv6 routing

•

Multicast

Using the Command-Line Interface
13

ProSafe Managed Switch

•

Quality of Service

•

Management (CLI, Web UI, and SNMP)

•

IPv6 Management—Allows management of the device through an IPv6 through an IPv6
address without requiring the IPv6 Routing package in the system. The management
address can be associated with the network port (front-panel switch ports) and a routine
interface (port or VLAN).

•

Stacking

Not all modules are available for all platforms or software releases.

Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the
command modes supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not
available until you switch to that particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode
commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current
mode. Table 5 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.

Note: The command modes available on your switch depend on the
software modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does
not support BGPv4 does not have the Router BGPv4 Command
Mode.

Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI by using a direct console connection or by using a telnet or SSH
connection from a remote management host.
For the initial connection, you must use a direct connection to the console port. You cannot
access the system remotely until the system has an IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway. You can set the network configuration information manually, or you can configure
the system to accept these settings from a BOOTP or DHCP server on your network. For
more information, see Network Interface Commands on page 638.

This chapter contains the following sections:
•

Dedicated Port Stacking

•

Stacking Commands

•

Non-Stop Forwarding Commands

•

Stack Firmware Synchronization Commands

The commands in this chapter are in two functional groups:
•

Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.

•

Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting.
The Primary Management Unit is the unit that controls the stack.
Note: When configuring a stack using M5300 Series switches and
GSM7328S V2H1, GSM7352S V2H1, GSM7228PS V1H1, or
GSM7228PS V1H1switches, refer to sdm prefer (Mixed Stacking)

switch priority
This command configures the ability of a switch to become the Primary Management Unit.
The  is the switch identifier. The  is the preference parameter that allows
the user to specify, priority of one backup switch over another. The range for priority is 1 to
15. The switch with the highest priority value will be chosen to become the Primary
Management Unit if the active Primary Management Unit fails. The switch priority defaults to
the hardware management preference value 1. Switches that do not have the hardware
capability to become the Primary Management Unit are not eligible for management.

switch renumber
This command changes the switch identifier for a switch in the stack. The  is the
current switch identifier on the switch whose identifier is to be changed. The  is
the updated value of the switch identifier. Upon execution, the switch will be configured with
the configuration information for the new switch, if any. The old switch configuration
information will be retained, however the old switch will be operationally unplugged. This
command is executed on the Primary Management Unit.

Note: If the management unit is renumbered, then the running
configuration is no longer applied (that is, the stack acts as if the
configuration had been cleared).

Format

movemanagement
This command moves the Primary Management Unit functionality from one switch to another.
The  is the switch identifier on the current Primary Management Unit. The
 is the switch identifier on the new Primary Management Unit. Upon execution,
the entire stack (including all interfaces in the stack) is unconfigured and reconfigured with
the configuration on the new Primary Management Unit. After the reload is complete, all
stack management capability must be performed on the new Primary Management Unit. To
preserve the current configuration across a stack move, execute the copy
system:running-config nvram:startup-config (in Privileged EXEC) command
before performing the stack move. A stack move causes all routes and layer 2 addresses to
be lost. This command is executed on the Primary Management Unit. The system prompts
you to confirm the management move.

Note: The movemanagement command does not NSF (non-stop
forwarding). To move the management unit to the backup unit, use
initiate failover instead. For more information, see initiate

Non-Stop Forwarding Commands
Non-stop forwarding allows the stack units to continue to forward packets if the stack
management unit restarts because of a power failure, hardware failure, or software fault.

nsf
Use this command to enable nonstop forwarding feature on the stack. When nonstop
forwarding is enabled, if the management unit of a stack fails, the backup unit takes over as
the master without clearing the hardware tables of any of the surviving units. Data traffic
continues to be forwarded in hardware while the management functions initialize on the
backup unit. NSF is enabled by default on platforms that support it. The administrator can
disable NSF to redirect the CPU resources consumed by data checkpointing. If a unit that
does not support NSF is connected to the stack, then NSF is disabled on all stack members.
If a unit that does not support NSF is disconnected from the stack and all other units support
NSF, and NSF is administratively enabled, then NSF operation resumes.

Last Startup Reason

The type of activation that caused the software to start the last time:
• “Power-On” means that the switch rebooted. This could have been caused by a
power cycle or an administrative “Reload” command.
• “Administrative Move” means that the administrator issued the
movemanagement command for the stand-by manager to take over.
• “Warm-Auto-Restart” means that the primary management card restarted due to
a failure, and the system executed a nonstop forwarding failover.
• “Cold-Auto-Restart” means that the system switched from the active manager to
the backup manager and was unable to maintain user data traffic. This is usually
caused by multiple failures occurring close together.

initiate failover
Use this command to force the backup unit to take over as the management unit and perform
a “warm restart” of the stack. On a warm restart, the backup unit becomes the management
unit without clearing its hardware tables (on a cold restart, hardware tables are cleared).
Applications apply checkpointed data from the former management unit. The original
management unit reboots. If the system is not ready for a warm restart, for example because
no backup unit has been elected or one or more members of the stack do not support
nonstop forwarding, the command fails with a warning message. The movemanagement
command also transfers control from the current management unit; however, the hardware is
cleared and all units reinitialize.

Note: Use this command instead of movemanagement if you expect nsf
during management unit changes.

Stack Firmware Synchronization Commands
Stack firmware synchronization provides an automatic mechanism to synchronize the
firmware on stack members whose firmware version differs from the version running on the
stack manager. This operation can result in either an upgrade or downgrade of firmware on
the mismatched stack member. However, this operation does not attempt to synchronize the
stack to the latest firmware in the stack.
During firmware transfer and upgrade, operations such as code download and move
management can result in undesirable behavior, such as firmware corruption on a code
mismatched stack member. As a result, you receive an error if you try to access the following
operations from the user interface during stack firmware synchronization:
•

Move management

•

Unit renumbering

•

Code download

•

Delete image

•

Update bootcode

•

Clear config

A reboot operation is allowed during stack firmware synchronization.
If the firmware is corrupted during stack firmware synchronization, manual intervention by the
administrator is required to restore the switch to working condition.
During stack firmware synchronization, traps are generated on start, completion, or failure.
•

Non-deterministic upgrade behavior
On bootup, the image that gets synchronized depends on the one that becomes the
manager. Which code version the new stack synchronizes to is fully deterministic, but
might not be obvious to the user as it depends entirely on which unit becomes the
manager. This might be decided by a MAC address comparison. If the administrator
wants a particular version to be used by the stack, he should first ensure that this
particular unit becomes stack manager.

Bootcode Upgrades
Bootcode upgrades are not initiated by the stack firmware synchronization.

Voice VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use for Voice VLAN. Voice VLAN enables switch
ports to carry voice traffic with defined priority so as to enable separation of voice and data
traffic coming onto the port. The benefits of using Voice VLAN is to ensure that the sound
quality of an IP phone could be safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the
port is high.
Also the inherent isolation provided by VLANs ensures that inter-VLAN traffic is under
management control and that network- attached clients cannot initiate a direct attack on voice
components. QoS-based on IEEE 802.1P class of service (CoS) uses classification and
scheduling to sent network traffic from the switch in a predictable manner. The system uses
the source MAC of the traffic traveling through the port to identify the IP phone data flow.

If an interface is configured as a protected port, and you add that interface to a Port Channel
or Link Aggregation Group (LAG), the protected port status becomes operationally disabled
on the interface, and the interface follows the configuration of the LAG port. However, the
protected port configuration for the interface remains unchanged. Once the interface is no

secondary VLAN ID differentiates subdomains from each other and provides Layer 2 isolation
between ports of the same private VLAN. The types of VLANs within a private VLAN are as

Community VLAN—A secondary VLAN that forwards traffic between ports that belong to
the same community and the promiscuous ports. There can be multiple community
VLANs per private VLAN.
Three types of port designations exist within a private VLAN:

•

Promiscuous Ports—An endpoint connected to a promiscuous port is allowed to
communicate with any endpoint within the private VLAN. Multiple promiscuous ports can
be defined for a single private VLAN domain.

•

Isolated Ports—An endpoint connected to an isolated port is allowed to communicate with
endpoints connected to promiscuous ports only. Endpoints connected to adjacent
isolated ports cannot communicate with each other.

•

Community Ports—An endpoint connected to a community port is allowed to
communicate with the endpoints within a community and with any configured
promiscuous port. The endpoints that belong to one community cannot communicate with
endpoints that belong to a different community or with endpoints connected to isolated
ports.

The Private VLANs can be extended across multiple switches through inter-switch/stack links
that transport primary, community and isolated VLANs between devices.

GARP Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol (GARP) and view GARP status. The commands in this section affect both GARP
VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and Garp Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP).
GARP is a protocol that allows client stations to register with the switch for membership in
VLANS (by using GVMP) or multicast groups (by using GVMP).

set garp timer join
This command sets the GVRP join time for one port (Interface Config mode) or all (Global
Config mode) and per GARP. Join time is the interval between the transmission of GARP
Protocol Data Units (PDUs) registering (or re-registering) membership for a VLAN or
multicast group. This command has an effect only when GVRP is enabled. The time is from
10 to 100 (centiseconds). The value 20 centiseconds is 0.2 seconds.

to wait after receiving an unregister request for a VLAN or a multicast group before deleting
the VLAN entry. This can be considered a buffer time for another station to assert registration
for the same attribute in order to maintain uninterrupted service. The leave time is 20 to 600

Storm-Control Commands
This section describes commands you use to configure storm-control and view storm-control
configuration information. A traffic storm is a condition that occurs when incoming packets
flood the LAN, which creates performance degradation in the network. The Storm-Control
feature protects against this condition.
The 7000 series provides broadcast, multicast, and unicast story recovery for individual
interfaces. Unicast Storm-Control protects against traffic whose MAC addresses are not
known by the system. For broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm-control, if the rate of traffic
ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold for that type, the traffic
is dropped.
To configure storm-control, you will enable the feature for all interfaces or for individual
interfaces, and you will set the threshold (storm-control level) beyond which the broadcast,
multicast, or unicast traffic will be dropped. The Storm-Control feature allows you to limit the
rate of specific types of packets through the switch on a per-port, per-type, basis.
Configuring a storm-control level also enables that form of storm-control. Disabling a
storm-control level (using the “no” version of the command) sets the storm-control level back
to the default value and disables that form of storm-control. Using the “no” version of the
“storm-control” command (not stating a “level”) disables that form of storm-control but

Switching Commands
112

ProSafe Managed Switch

maintains the configured “level” (to be active the next time that form of storm-control is
enabled.)

Note: The actual rate of ingress traffic required to activate storm-control is
based on the size of incoming packets and the hard-coded average
packet size of 512 bytes - used to calculate a packet-per-second
(pps) rate - as the forwarding-plane requires pps versus an absolute
rate kbps. For example, if the configured limit is 10%, this is
converted to ~25000 pps, and this pps limit is set in forwarding plane
(hardware). You get the approximate desired output when 512bytes
packets are used.

storm-control broadcast
Use this command to enable broadcast storm recovery mode for a specific interface. If the
mode is enabled, broadcast storm recovery is active and, if the rate of L2 broadcast traffic
ingressing on an interface increases beyond the configured threshold, the traffic will be

Flow Control Commands
In 802.3x flow control, the MAC control PAUSE operation is specified in IEEE 802.3 Annex 31
B. It allows traffic from one device to be throttled for a specified period of time and is defined
for devices that are directly connected. A device that needs to inhibit transmission of data
frames from another device on the LAN transmits a PAUSE frame as defined in the IEEE
specification.
This feature allows the user to configure the switch to use symmetric, asymmetric, or no flow
control. Asymmetric flow control allows the switch to respond to received PAUSE frames, but
the port cannot generate PAUSE frames. Symmetric flow control allows the switch to both
respond to and generate MAC control PAUSE frames.

flowcontrol {symmetric|asymmetric}

Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which are also
known as link aggregation groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple
full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if
it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. The LAG
feature initially load shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC
address.Assign the port-channel (LAG) VLAN membership after you create a port-channel. If
you do not assign VLAN membership, the port-channel might become a member of the
management VLAN which can result in learning and switching issues.

A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a
port channel must participate in the same protocols.) A static port-channel interface does not
require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.

Note: If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels
(LAGs) that your platform supports, additional port-channels that you
configure are automatically static.

addport
This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG). The interface is a logical
unit/slot/port number or a group ID of a configured port-channel.

Note: Before adding a port to a port-channel, set the physical mode of the
port. For more information, see speed on page 42.

port-channel load-balance
This command selects the load-balancing option used on a port-channel (LAG). Traffic is
balanced on a port-channel (LAG) by selecting one of the links in the channel over which to
transmit specific packets. The link is selected by creating a binary pattern from selected fields
in a packet, and associating that pattern with a particular link.
Load-balancing is not supported on every device. The range of options for load-balancing
can vary per device. The managed switch also supports enhanced hashing mode, which has
the following advantages:
•

MODULO-N (where N is the number of active link members in a LAG) operation based on
the number of ports in the LAG

•

Packet attributes selection based on the packet type: For L2 packets, source and
destination MAC address are used for hash computation. For L3 packets, source IP,
destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports are used.

•

Non-Unicast traffic and unicast traffic is hashed using a common hash algorithm

•

Excellent load balancing performance.

The commands in this section describe how to configure static MAC filtering. Static MAC
filtering allows you to configure destination ports for a static multicast MAC filter irrespective
of the platform.

macfilter
This command adds a static MAC filter entry for the MAC address  on the VLAN
. The value of the  parameter is a 6-byte hexadecimal number in the
format of b1:b2:b3:b4:b5:b6. The restricted MAC Addresses are: 00:00:00:00:00:00,
01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F, 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21, and
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The  parameter must identify a valid VLAN.
The number of static mac filters supported on the system is different for MAC filters where

DHCP L2 Relay Agent Commands
You can enable the switch to operate as a DHCP Layer 2 relay agent to relay DHCP requests
from clients to a Layer 3 relay agent or server. The Circuit ID and Remote ID can be added to
DHCP requests relayed from clients to a DHCP server. This information is included in DHCP
Option 82, as specified in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of RFC3046.

dhcp l2relay
Use this command to enable the DHCP Layer 2 Relay agent for an interface, a range of
interfaces, or all interfaces. The subsequent commands mentioned in this section can be
used only when the DHCP L2 relay is enabled.

Dynamic ARP Inspection Commands
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) is a security feature that rejects invalid and malicious ARP
packets. DAI prevents a class of man-in-the-middle attacks, where an unfriendly station
intercepts traffic for other stations by poisoning the ARP caches of its unsuspecting
neighbors. The miscreant sends ARP requests or responses mapping another station’s IP
address to its own MAC address.
DAI relies on DHCP snooping. DHCP snooping listens to DHCP message exchanges and
builds a binding database of valid {MAC address, IP address, VLAN, and interface} tuples.
When DAI is enabled, the switch drops ARP packets whose sender MAC address and
sender IP address do not match an entry in the DHCP snooping bindings database. You can
optionally configure additional ARP packet validation.

IGMP Snooping Configuration Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure IGMP snooping. The software
supports IGMP Versions 1, 2, and 3. The IGMP snooping feature can help conserve
bandwidth because it allows the switch to forward IP multicast traffic only to connected hosts
that request multicast traffic. IGMPv3 adds source filtering capabilities to IGMP versions 1
and 2.

set igmp
This command enables IGMP Snooping on the system (Global Config Mode) or an interface
(Interface Config Mode). This command also enables IGMP snooping on a particular VLAN
(VLAN Config Mode) and can enable IGMP snooping on all interfaces participating in a
VLAN.
If an interface has IGMP Snooping enabled and you enable this interface for routing or enlist
it as a member of a port-channel (LAG), IGMP Snooping functionality is disabled on that
interface. IGMP Snooping functionality is re-enabled if you disable routing or remove
port-channel (LAG) membership from an interface that has IGMP Snooping enabled.
The IGMP application supports the following activities:
•

Validation of the IP header checksum (as well as the IGMP header checksum) and
discarding of the frame upon checksum error.

•

Maintenance of the forwarding table entries based on the MAC address versus the IP
address.

IGMP Snooping Querier Commands
IGMP Snooping requires that one central switch or router periodically query all end-devices
on the network to announce their multicast memberships. This central device is the “IGMP
Querier”. The IGMP query responses, known as IGMP reports, keep the switch updated with
the current multicast group membership on a port-by-port basis. If the switch does not
receive updated membership information in a timely fashion, it will stop forwarding multicasts
to the port where the end device is located.
This section describes commands used to configure and display information on IGMP
Snooping Queriers on the network and, separately, on VLANs.

set igmp querier
Use this command to enable IGMP Snooping Querier on the system, using Global Config
mode, or on a VLAN. Using this command, you can specify the IP Address that the Snooping
Querier switch should use as the source address while generating periodic queries.
If a VLAN has IGMP Snooping Querier enabled and IGMP Snooping is operationally disabled
on it, IGMP Snooping Querier functionality is disabled on that VLAN. IGMP Snooping
functionality is re-enabled if IGMP Snooping is operational on the VLAN.

Note: The Querier IP Address assigned for a VLAN takes preference over
global configuration.

The IGMP Snooping Querier application supports sending periodic general queries on the
VLAN to solicit membership reports.

MLD Snooping Commands
This section describes commands used for MLD Snooping. In IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use
IGMP Snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically configuring Layer 2
interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to those interfaces associated with IP
multicast addresses. In IPv6, MLD Snooping performs a similar function. With MLD
Snooping, IPv6 multicast data is selectively forwarded to a list of ports that want to receive
the data, instead of being flooded to all ports in a VLAN. This list is constructed by snooping
IPv6 multicast control packets.

Switching Commands

set mld
Use this command to enable MLD Snooping on the system (Global Config Mode) or an

If an interface has MLD Snooping enabled and you enable this interface for routing or enlist it
as a member of a port-channel (LAG), MLD Snooping functionality is disabled on that
interface. MLD Snooping functionality is re-enabled if you disable routing or remove port
channel (LAG) membership from an interface that has MLD Snooping enabled.
MLD Snooping supports the following activities:
•

Validation of address version, payload length consistencies and discarding of the frame
upon error.

•

MLD Snooping Querier Commands
In an IPv6 environment, MLD Snooping requires that one central switch or router periodically
query all end-devices on the network to announce their multicast memberships. This central
device is the MLD Querier. The MLD query responses, known as MLD reports, keep the
switch updated with the current multicast group membership on a port-by-port basis. If the
switch does not receive updated membership information in a timely fashion, it will stop
forwarding multicasts to the port where the end device is located.
This section describes the commands you use to configure and display information on MLD
Snooping queries on the network and, separately, on VLANs.

set mld querier
Use this command to enable MLD Snooping Querier on the system (Global Config Mode) or
on a VLAN. Using this command, you can specify the IP address that the snooping querier
switch should use as a source address while generating periodic queries.
If a VLAN has MLD Snooping Querier enabled and MLD Snooping is operationally disabled
on it, MLD Snooping Querier functionality is disabled on that VLAN. MLD Snooping
functionality is re-enabled if MLD Snooping is operational on the VLAN.
The MLD Snooping Querier sends periodic general queries on the VLAN to solicit
membership reports.

Port Security Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure Port Security on the switch. Port
security, which is also known as port MAC locking, allows you to secure the network by
locking allowable MAC addresses on a port. Packets with a matching source MAC address
are forwarded normally, and all other packets are discarded.

Priority-Based Flow Control Commands
Ordinarily, when flow control is enabled on a physical link, it applies to all traffic on the link.
When congestion occurs, the hardware sends pause frames that temporarily suspend traffic
flow. Pausing traffic helps prevent buffer overflow and dropped frames.
Priority-based flow control provides a way to distinguish which traffic on physical link is
paused when congestion occurs, based on the priority of the traffic. An interface can be
configured to pause only high priority (i.e., loss-sensitive) traffic when necessary to prevent
dropped frames, while allowing traffic that has greater loss tolerance to continue to flow on
the interface.

Switching Commands
229

ProSafe Managed Switch

Priorities are differentiated by the priority field of the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN header, which
identifies an IEEE 802.1p priority value. In NETGEAR Managed Switch, these priority values
must be mapped to internal class-of-service (CoS) values.
To enable priority-based flow control for a particular CoS value on an interface:
•

Ensure that VLAN tagging is enabled on the interface so that the 802.1p priority values
are carried through the network.

•

Ensure that 802.1p priority values are mapped to IEEE 802.1Q CoS values.

•

Use the datacenter-bridging priority-flow-control mode on command to enable
priority-based flow control on the interface.

•

Use the datacenter-bridging priority-flow-control priority command to specify the CoS
values that should be paused ("no-drop") due to greater loss sensitivity. Unless
configured as "no-drop," all CoS priorities are considered nonpausable ("drop") when
priority-based flow control is enabled.

When priority-flow-control is disabled, the interface defaults to the IEEE 802.3x flow control
setting for the interface. When priority-based flow control is enabled, the interface will not
pause any CoS unless there is at least one no-drop priority.

lossless priorities supported is 2. Additionally, the mapping of class-of-service levels to
802.1p priority values to must be set to one-to-one.

Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR)

MVR Commands

About MVR
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Layer 3 is widely used for IPv4 network
multicasting. In Layer 2 networks, IGMP uses resources inefficiently. For example, a Layer 2
switch multicasts traffic to all ports, even if there are receivers connected to only a few ports.
To address this problem, the IGMP Snooping protocol was developed. The problem still
appears, though, when receivers are in different VLANs.
MVR is intended to solve the problem of receivers in different VLANs. It uses a dedicated
manually configured VLAN, called the multicast VLAN, to forward multicast traffic over a
Layer 2 network in conjunction with IGMP snooping.

mvr mode
This command changes the MVR mode type. If the mode is set to compatible, then the switch
does not learn multicast groups; they need to be configured by the operator as the protocol does
not forward joins from the hosts to the router. To operate in this mode, the IGMP router needs to
be statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR switch. If the mode
is set to dynamic, then the switch learns existing multicast groups by snooping the IGMP queries
from router on source ports and forwarding the IGMP joins from the hosts to the IGMP router on
the multicast VLAN (with appropriate translation of the VLAN ID).

ip route
This command configures a static route. The  parameter is a valid IP address,
and  is a valid subnet mask. The  parameter is a valid IP
address of the next hop router. Specifying Null0 as nexthop parameter adds a static reject
route. The optional  parameter is an integer (value from 1 to 255) that allows
you to specify the preference value (sometimes called “administrative distance”) of an
individual static route. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest
preference value is the route entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the
preference of a static route, you control whether a static route is more or less preferred than
routes from dynamic routing protocols. The preference also controls whether a static route is
more or less preferred than other static routes to the same destination. A route with a
preference of 255 cannot be used to forward traffic.
For the static routes to be visible, you must perform the following steps:
•

Enable ip routing globally.

•

Enable ip routing for the interface.

•

Confirm that the associated link is also up.

Default

no ip route
This command deletes a single next hop to a destination static route. If you use the

ip route default
This command configures the default route. The value for  is a valid IP

no ip route default
This command deletes all configured default routes. If the optional  parameter
is designated, the specific next hop is deleted from the configured default route and if the
optional preference value is designated, the preference of the configured default route is
reset to its default.
Format

no ip route default [{ | }]

ip route distance
This command sets the default distance (preference) for static routes. Lower route distance
values are preferred when determining the best route. The ip route and ip route
default commands allow you to optionally set the distance (preference) of an individual
static route. The default distance is used when no distance is specified in these commands.
Changing the default distance does not update the distance of existing static routes, even if
they were assigned the original default distance. The new default distance will only be
applied to static routes created after invoking the ip route distance command.

ip mtu
This command sets the IP Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on a routing interface. The IP
MTU is the size of the largest IP packet that can be transmitted on the interface without
fragmentation. The software currently does not fragment IP packets.
•

Packets forwarded in hardware ignore the IP MTU.

•

Packets forwarded in software are dropped if they exceed the IP MTU of the outgoing
interface.

Packets originated on the router, such as OSPF packets, may be fragmented by the IP stack.
The IP stack uses its default IP MTU and ignores the value set using the ip mtu command.
OSPF advertises the IP MTU in the Database Description packets it sends to its neighbors
during database exchange. If two OSPF neighbors advertise different IP MTUs, they will not
form an adjacency. (unless OSPF has been instructed to ignore differences in IP MTU with
the ip ospf mtu-ignore command.)

Note: The IP MTU size refers to the maximum size of the IP packet (IP
Header + IP payload). It does not include any extra bytes that may
be required for Layer-2 headers. To receive and process packets,
the Ethernet MTU (see mtu on page 41) must take into account the
size of the Ethernet header.

This command sets the priority of a router within a VRRP group. Higher values equal higher
priority. The range is from 1 to 254. The parameter  is the virtual router ID, whose
range is from 1 to 255.
The router with the highest priority is elected master. If a router is configured with the address
used as the address of the virtual router, the router is called the “address owner.” The priority
of the address owner is always 255 so that the address owner is always master. If the master
has a priority less than 255 (it is not the address owner) and you configure the priority of
another router in the group higher than the master’s priority, the router will take over as
master only if preempt mode is enabled.

ip vrrp track interface
Use this command to alter the priority of the VRRP router based on the availability of its
interfaces. This command is useful for tracking interfaces that are not configured for VRRP.
Only IP interfaces are tracked. A tracked interface is up if the IP on that interface is up.
Otherwise, the tracked interface is down.
When the tracked interface is down or the interface has been removed from the router, the
priority of the VRRP router will be decremented by the value specified in the 
argument. When the interface is up for IP protocol, the priority will be incremented by the
 value.
A VRRP configured interface can track more than one interface. When a tracked interface
goes down, then the priority of the router will be decreased by 10 (the default priority
decrement) for each downed interface. The default priority decrement is changed using the
 argument. The default priority of the virtual router is 100, and the default
decrement priority is 10. By default, no interfaces are tracked. If you specify just the interface
to be tracked, without giving the optional priority, then the default priority will be set. The
default priority decrement is 10.

ip vrrp  accept-mode
This command is used to allow a router to respond to ICMP Echo Requests sent to an
address on a VRRP virtual router. VRRP supports responding to pings, but does not allow the
VRRP Master to accept other types of packets. A new configuration option controls whether
the router responds to Echo Requests sent to a VRRP IP address.
The VRRP Master responds to both fragmented and un-fragmented ICMP Echo Request
packets. The VRRP Master responds to Echo Requests sent to the virtual router's primary
address or any of its secondary addresses.

Routing Commands
272

ProSafe Managed Switch

Ping to a VRRP IP address only works from the host side (where the VRRP router is
configured). There is no value in pinging to the VRRP IP from another interface because
packet flow from the network to the host doesn't involve VRRP. This is used only to
troubleshoot a connectivity problem for traffic originating on the VRRP protected LAN.
Members of the virtual router who are in backup state discard ping packets destined to VRRP
address(es), just as they discard any Ethernet frame sent to a VRRP MAC address. When
the VRRP master responds with an Echo Reply, the source IPv4 address is the VRRP
address and source MAC address is the virtual router's MAC address.
There is a separate command "ip icmp echo-reply" that controls whether the router responds
to ICMP Echo Requests. When Echo Replies are disabled using that command, the VRRP
master does not respond to Echo Requests, even if this new option is enabled.

[Optional] When this keyword is given, the summary prefix is advertised when the area range

not-advertise

[Optional] When this keyword is given, neither the summary prefix nor the contained prefixes
are advertised when the area range is active. When the not-advertise option is given, any
static cost previously configured is removed from the system configuration.

cost

[Optional] If an optional cost is given, OSPF sets the metric field in the summary LSA to the
configured value rather than setting the metric to the largest cost among the networks
covered by the area range. A static cost may only be configured if the area range is
configured to advertise the summary. The range is 0 to 16,777,215. If the cost is set to
16,777,215 for type 3 summarization, a type 3 summary LSA is not advertised, but contained
networks are suppressed. This behavior is equivalent to specifying the not-advertise option. If
the range is configured for type 7 to type 5 translation, a type 5 LSA is sent if the metric is set
to 16,777,215; however, other routers will not compute a route from a type 5 LSA with this
metric.

auto-cost (OSPF)
By default, OSPF computes the link cost of each interface from the interface bandwidth.
Faster links have lower metrics, making them more attractive in route selection. The
configuration parameters in the auto-cost reference bandwidth and bandwidth
commands give you control over the default link cost. You can configure for OSPF an
interface bandwidth that is independent of the actual link speed. A second configuration
parameter allows you to control the ratio of interface bandwidth to link cost. The link cost is
computed as the ratio of a reference bandwidth to the interface bandwidth (ref_bw / interface
bandwidth), where interface bandwidth is defined by the bandwidth command. Because the
default reference bandwidth is 100 Mbps, OSPF uses the same default link cost for all
interfaces whose bandwidth is 100 Mbps or greater. Use the auto-cost command to
change the reference bandwidth, specifying the reference bandwidth in megabits per second
(Mbps). The reference bandwidth range is 1-4294967 Mbps. The different reference
bandwidth can be independently configured for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

bandwidth
By default, OSPF computes the link cost of an interface as the ratio of the reference
bandwidth to the interface bandwidth. Reference bandwidth is specified with the auto-cost
command. For the purpose of the OSPF link cost calculation, use the bandwidth command to
specify the interface bandwidth. The bandwidth is specified in kilobits per second. If no
bandwidth is configured, the bandwidth defaults to the actual interface bandwidth for
port-based routing interfaces and to 10 Mbps for VLAN routing interfaces. This command
does not affect the actual speed of an interface.

timers pacing flood
To adjust the rate at which OSPFv2 sends LS Update packets, use this command in router
OSPFv2 global configuration mode. OSPF distributes routing information in Link State
Advertisements (LSAs), which are bundled into Link State Update (LS Update) packets. To
reduce the likelihood of sending a neighbor more packets than it can buffer, OSPF rate limits
the transmission of LS Update packets. By default, OSPF sends up to 30 updates per second
on each interface (1/the pacing interval). Use this command to adjust this packet rate.
Default

33 milliseconds

Mode

OSPFv2 Router Configuration

timers pacing lsa-group
To adjust how OSPF groups LSAs for periodic refresh, use this command in OSPFv2 Router
Configuration mode. OSPF refreshes self-originated LSAs approximately once every 30
minutes. When OSPF refreshes LSAs, it considers all self-originated LSAs whose age is
from 1800 to 1800 plus the pacing group size. Grouping LSAs for refresh allows OSPF to
combine refreshed LSAs into a minimal number of LS Update packets. Minimizing the
number of Update packets makes LSA distribution more efficient. When OSPF originates a
new or changed LSA, it selects a random refresh delay for the LSA. When the refresh delay
expires, OSPF refreshes the LSA. By selecting a random refresh delay, OSPF avoids
refreshing a large number of LSAs at one time, even if a large number of LSAs are originated
at one time.
Default

60 seconds

displayed. This is a configured value.

OSPF Admin
Mode

Shows whether the administrative mode of OSPF in the router is enabled or disabled.
This is a configured value.

ASBR Mode

Indicates whether the ASBR mode is enabled or disabled. Enable implies that the router
is an autonomous system border router. Router automatically becomes an ASBR when it
is configured to redistribute routes learnt from other protocol. The possible values for the
ASBR status is enabled (if the router is configured to re-distribute routes learned by other
protocols) or disabled (if the router is not configured for the same).

it is configured to redistribute routes learnt from other protocols. The possible values for
the ASBR status is enabled (if the router is configured to redistribute routes learned by
other protocols) or disabled (if the router is not configured for the same).

Stub Router

When OSPF runs out of resources to store the entire link state database, or any other
state information, OSPF goes into stub router mode. As a stub router, OSPF
re-originates its own router LSAs, setting the cost of all non-stub interfaces to infinity. To
restore OSPF to normal operation, disable and re-enable OSPF.

OSPF Graceful Restart Commands
The OSPF protocol can be configured to participate in the checkpointing service, so that
these protocols can execute a graceful restart when the management unit fails. In a graceful
restart, the hardware to continues forwarding IPv4 packets using OSPF routes, while a
backup switch takes over management unit responsibility.
Graceful restart uses the concept of “helpful neighbors.” A fully adjacent router enters helper
mode when it receives a link state announcement (LSA) from the restarting management unit
indicating its intention of performing a graceful restart. In helper mode, a switch continues to
advertise to the rest of the network that they have full adjacencies with the restarting router,

Routing Commands
322

ProSafe Managed Switch

thereby avoiding announcement of a topology change and the potential for flooding of LSAs
and shortest-path-first (SPF) runs, which determine OSPF routes. Helpful neighbors continue
to forward packets through the restarting router. The restarting router relearns the network
topology from its helpful neighbors.
Graceful restart can be enabled for planned or unplanned restarts, or both. A planned restart
is initiated by the operator through the management command initiate failover. The operator
may initiate a failover to take the management unit out of service (for example, to address a
partial hardware failure), to correct faulty system behavior that cannot be corrected through
less severe management actions, or other reasons. An unplanned restart is an unexpected
failover, caused by a fatal hardware failure of the management unit or a software hang or
crash on the management unit.

The restarting router is unable to react to topology changes. In particular, the restarting router

forwarding loops or black holes that persist until the graceful restart completes. By exiting the
graceful restart on a topology change, a router tries to eliminate the loops or black holes as
quickly as possible by routing around the restarting router. A helpful neighbor considers a link
down with the restarting router to be a topology change, regardless of the strict LSA checking
configuration. Use this command to require that an OSPF helpful neighbor exit helper mode

OSPF Router Configuration

max-metric router-lsa
To configure OSPF to enter stub router mode, use this command in Router OSPF Global
Configuration mode. When OSPF is in stub router mode, as defined by RFC 3137, OSPF
sets the metric in the non-stub links in its router LSA to LsInfinity. Other routers therefore
compute very long paths through the stub router, and prefer any alternate path. Doing so
eliminates all transit traffic through the stub router, when alternate routes are available. Stub
router mode is useful when adding or removing a router from a network or to avoid transient
routes when a router reloads. You can administratively force OSPF into stub router mode.
OSPF remains in stub router mode until you take OSPF out of stub router mode.
Alternatively, you can configure OSPF to start in stub router mode for a configurable period of
time after the router boots up.
If you set the summary LSA metric to 16,777,215, other routers skip the summary LSA when
they compute routes.
If you have configured the router to enter stub router mode on startup (max-metric
router-lsa on-startup), and then enter max-metric router lsa, there is no
change. If OSPF is administratively in stub router mode (the max-metric router-lsa
command has been given), and you configure OSPF to enter stub router mode on startup
(max-metric router-lsa on-startup), OSPF exits stub router mode (assuming the
startup period has expired) and the configuration is updated.

Parameters

Description

hash-mask
length

Length of a mask (32 bits maximum) that is to be ANDed with the group address before
the hash function is called. All groups with the same seed hash correspond to the same
RP. For example, if this value was 24, only the first 24 bits of the group addresses matter.
This allows you to get one RP for multiple groups.

bar-priority

Priority of the candidate BSR. The range is an integer from 0 to 255. The BSR with the
larger priority is preferred. If the priority values are the same, the router with the larger IP
address is the BSR. The default value is 0.

interval

The C-BSR advertisement interval. If the interval values are reduced from the default
value of 60 seconds, there could be issues in the network (especially BSR) due to
flooding of these packets. However, it will provide RP fast failover.

IPv6 Commands

7

This chapter describes the IPv6 commands available in the managed switch CLI.

Note: Some commands described in this chapter require a license. For
more information, see Licensing and Command Support on page 8.

This chapter contains the following sections:
•

Tunnel Interface Commands

•

IPv6 Routing Commands

•

OSPFv3 Commands

•

OSPFv3 Graceful Restart Commands

•

DHCPv6 Commands

The commands in this chapter are in three functional groups:
•

Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.

•

Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting.

•

Clear commands clear some or all of the settings to factory defaults.

Note: For information on IPv6 management commands, see IPv6
Management Commands on page 716.

Tunnel Interface Commands
The commands in this section describe how to create, delete, and manage tunnel interfaces.
Several different types of tunnels provide functionality to facilitate the transition of IPv4
networks to IPv6 networks. These tunnels are divided into two classes: configured and
automatic. The distinction is that configured tunnels are explicitly configured with a
destination or endpoint of the tunnel. Automatic tunnels, in contrast, infer the endpoint of the

373

ProSafe Managed Switch

tunnel from the destination address of packets routed into the tunnel. To assign an IP address
to the tunnel interface, see ip address on page 247. To assign an IPv6 address to the tunnel
interface, see ipv6 address on page 377.

IPv6 Routing Commands
This section describes the IPv6 commands you use to configure IPv6 on the system and on
the interfaces. This section also describes IPv6 management commands and show
commands.

ipv6 hop-limit
This command defines the unicast hop count used in ipv6 packets originated by the node.
The value is also included in router advertisements. Valid values for  are 1-255
inclusive. The default “not configured” means that a value of zero is sent in router

ipv6 address
Use this command to configure an IPv6 address on an interface, including tunnel and
loopback interfaces, and to enable IPv6 processing on this interface. You can assign multiple
globally reachable addresses to an interface by using this command. You do not need to
assign a link-local address by using this command since one is automatically created. The
 field consists of the bits of the address to be configured. The 
designates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address make up the prefix.
You can express IPv6 addresses in eight blocks. Also of note is that instead of a period, a
colon now separates each block. For simplification, leading zeros of each 16 bit block can be
omitted. One sequence of 16 bit blocks containing only zeros can be replaced with a double
colon “::”, but not more than one at a time (otherwise it is no longer a unique representation).
•

Dropping zeros: 3ffe:ffff:100:f101:0:0:0:1 becomes 3ffe:ffff:100:f101::1

•

Local host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 becomes ::1

•

Any host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 becomes ::

The hexadecimal letters in the IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive. An example of an IPv6
prefix and prefix length is 3ffe:1::1234/64.
The optional [eui-64] field designates that IPv6 processing on the interfaces was enabled
using an EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits of the address. If you use this option, the
value of  must be 64 bits.

ipv6 route
Use this command to configure an IPv6 static route. The  is the IPv6
network that is the destination of the static route. The  is the length of the
IPv6 prefix — a decimal value (usually 0-64) that shows how many of the high-order
contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A
slash mark must precede the . The  is the IPv6
address of the next hop that can be used to reach the specified network. Specifying Null0
as nexthop parameter adds a static reject route. The  parameter is a value
the router uses to compare this route with routes from other route sources that have the same
destination. The range for  is 1 - 255, and the default value is 1. You can

Interface

The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding traffic to the next destination. For
reject routes, the next hop interface would be Null0 interface.

To administratively control the traffic destined to a particular network and prevent it from
being forwarded through the router, you can configure a static reject route on the router. Such
traffic would be discarded and the ICMP destination unreachable message is sent back to the
source. This is typically used for preventing routing loops. The reject route added in the RTO
is of the type OSPF Inter-Area. Reject routes (routes of REJECT type installed by any
protocol) are not redistributed by OSPF/RIP. Reject routes are supported in both OSPFv2
and OSPFv3.

the network type can be point-to-point since there are only two routers. Using point-to-point
as the network type eliminates the overhead of the OSPF designated router election. It is
normally not useful to set a tunnel to OSPF network type broadcast.

auto-cost (OSPFv3)
By default, OSPF computes the link cost of each interface from the interface bandwidth.
Faster links have lower metrics, making them more attractive in route selection. The
configuration parameters in the auto-cost reference bandwidth and bandwidth
commands give you control over the default link cost. You can configure for OSPF an
interface bandwidth that is independent of the actual link speed. A second configuration
parameter allows you to control the ratio of interface bandwidth to link cost. The link cost is
computed as the ratio of a reference bandwidth to the interface bandwidth (ref_bw / interface
bandwidth), where interface bandwidth is defined by the bandwidth command. Because the
default reference bandwidth is 100 Mbps, OSPF uses the same default link cost for all
interfaces whose bandwidth is 100 Mbps or greater. Use the auto-cost command to
change the reference bandwidth, specifying the reference bandwidth in megabits per second
(Mbps). The reference bandwidth range is 1–4294967 Mbps. The different reference
bandwidth can be independently configured for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

Note: Some of the information below displays only if you enable OSPF
and configure certain features.

Term

Definition

Router ID

A 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format identifying the router, about which information is
displayed. This is a configured value.

OSPF Admin
Mode

Shows whether the administrative mode of OSPF in the router is enabled or disabled.
This is a configured value.

ABR Status

Shows whether the router is an OSPF Area Border Router.

ASBR Status

Reflects whether the ASBR mode is enabled or disabled. Enable implies that the router is
an autonomous system border router. Router automatically becomes an ASBR when it is
configured to redistribute routes learnt from other protocol. The possible values for the
ASBR status is enabled (if the router is configured to re-distribute routes learned by other
protocols) or disabled (if the router is not configured for the same).

Stub Router

When OSPF runs out of resources to store the entire link state database, or any other
state information, OSPF goes into stub router mode. As a stub router, OSPF
re-originates its own router LSAs, setting the cost of all non-stub interfaces to infinity. To
restore OSPF to normal operation, disable and re-enable OSPF.

Exit Overflow
Interval

The number of seconds that, after entering overflow state, a router will attempt to leave
overflow state.

External LSDB
Overflow

When the number of non-default external LSAs exceeds the configured limit, External
LSDB Limit, OSPF goes into LSDB overflow state. In this state, OSPF withdraws all of its
self-originated non-default external LSAs. After the Exit Overflow Interval, OSPF leaves
the overflow state, if the number of external LSAs has been reduced.

External LSA
Count

The number of external (LS type 5) link-state advertisements in the link-state database.

OSPFv3 Graceful Restart Commands
The managed switch implementation of OSPFv3 supports graceful restart as specified in
RFC 5187 and RFC 3623. Graceful restart works together with managed switch non-stop
forwarding (nsf) to enable the hardware to continue forwarding IPv6 packets using OSPFv3
routes while a backup unit takes over management unit responsibility. When OSPF executes
a graceful restart, it informs its neighbors that the OSPF control plane is restarting but will be
back shortly. Helpful neighbors continue to advertise to the network that they have full
adjacencies with the restarting router, avoiding announcement of a topology change and
related events (for example, flooding of LSAs and SPF runs). Helpful neighbors continue to
forward packets through the restarting router. The restarting router relearns the network
topology from its helpful neighbors.
Graceful restart implements both the restarting router and helpful neighbor features
described in RFC 3623.

nsf (OSPFv3)
This command enables OSPF graceful restart. The ietf parameter is used to distinguish the
IETF standard implementation of graceful restart from other implementations. Since the IETF
implementation is not the only one supported, this parameter is optional. The planned-only
parameter indicates that OSPF performs a graceful restart only when the restart is planned
(that is, when the restart results from the initiate failover command).

restarting router will not immediately update its forwarding table. Therefore, a topology
change might introduce forwarding loops or black holes that persist until the graceful restart is
completed. By exiting graceful restart when a topology change occurs, a router tries to
eliminate the loops or black holes as quickly as possible by routing around the restarting
router.
The ietf parameter is used to distinguish the IETF standard implementation of graceful
restart from other implementations. Since the IETF implementation is not the only one
supported, this parameter is optional.
A helpful neighbor considers a link down with the restarting router to be a topology change,
regardless of the strict LSA checking configuration.
Default

A helpful neighbor exits helper mode when a topology change occurs.

no nsf [ietf] helper strict-lsa-checking (OSPFv3)
This command allows OSPF to continue as a helpful neighbor in spite of topology changes.

nsf restart-interval (OSPFv3)
This command configures the length of the grace period on the restarting router. The grace
period must be set long enough to allow the restarting router to reestablish all of its
adjacencies and complete a full database exchange with each of its neighbors.
The ietf parameter is used to distinguish the IETF standard implementation of graceful
restart from other implementations. Since the IETF implementation is not the only one
supported, this parameter is optional. The seconds parameter represents the number of
seconds that the restarting router asks its neighbors to wait before exiting helper mode. The
restarting router includes the restart interval in its grace LSAs (range 1–1800 seconds).

Use this command to configure DHCPv6 server functionality on an interface. The
 is the DHCPv6 pool containing stateless and/or prefix delegation parameters,
rapid-commit is an option that allows for an abbreviated exchange between the client and
server, and  is a value used by clients to determine preference between
multiple DHCPv6 servers. For a particular interface DHCPv6 server and DHCPv6 relay
functions are mutually exclusive.

Interface Config

ipv6 dhcp relay destination
Use this command to configure an interface for DHCPv6 relay functionality. Use the
destination keyword to set the relay server IPv6 address. The 
parameter is an IPv6 address of a DHCPv6 relay server. Use the interface keyword to set
the relay server interface. The  parameter is an interface
(unit/slot/port) to reach a relay server. The optional remote-id is the Relay Agent
Information Option “remote ID” sub-option to be added to relayed messages. This can either
be the special keyword duid-ifid, which causes the “remote ID” to be derived from the
DHCPv6 server DUID and the relay interface number, or it can be specified as a user-defined
string.

Note: If  is an IPv6 global address, then 
is not required. If  is a link-local or multicast
address, then  is required. Finally, if you do not
specify a value for , then you must specify a value
for  and the DHCPV6-ALL-AGENTS multicast
address (i.e. FF02::1:2) is used to relay DHCPv6 messages to the
relay server.

The commands in this chapter are in three functional groups:
•

Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.

•

Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration setting.

•

Clear commands clear some or all of the settings to factory defaults.

IPv6 MLD Commands
IGMP/MLD Snooping is Layer 2 functionality but IGMP/MLD are Layer 3 multicast protocols.
It requires that in a network setup there should be a multicast router (which can act as a
querier) to be present to solicit the multicast group registrations. However some network
setup does not need a multicast router as multicast traffic is destined to hosts within the same
network. In this situation, the 7000 series has an IGMP/MLD Snooping Querier running on
one of the switches and Snooping enabled on all the switches. For more information, see
IGMP Snooping Configuration Commands on page 166 and MLD Snooping Commands on

classofservice trust
This command sets the class of service trust mode of an interface. You can set the mode to
trust one of the Dot1p (802.1p), IP DSCP, or IP Precedence packet markings. You can also
set the interface mode to untrusted. If you configure an interface to use Dot1p, the mode
does not appear in the output of the show running config command because Dot1p is
the default.

Note: The classofservice trust dot1p command will not be supported in
future releases of the software because Dot1p is the default value.
Use the no classofservice trust command to set the mode to the
default value.

This command activates weighted random early discard (WRED) for each specified queue on
the interface. Specific WRED parameters are configured using the randomdetect
queue-parms and the random-detect exponential-weighting-constant commands. When
specified in Interface Config' mode, this command affects a single interface only, whereas in
Global Config mode, it applies to all interfaces. At least one, but no more than n, queue-id
values are specified with this command.
Duplicate queue-id values are ignored. Each queue-id value ranges from 0 to (n-1), where n
is the total number of queues supported per interface. The number n is platform dependant
and corresponds to the number of supported queues (traffic classes).

min-thresh is the minimum threshold the queue depth (as a percentage) where WRED starts
marking and dropping traffic.
max-thresh is the maximum threshold is the queue depth (as a percentage) above which
WRED marks / drops all traffic.
drop-probability is the percentage probability that WRED will mark/drop a packet, when the
queue depth is at the maximum threshold. (The drop probability increases linearly from 0 just
before the minimum threshold, to this value at the maximum threshold, then goes to 100% for
larger queue depths). Each parameter is specified for each possible drop precedence ("color"
of TCP traffic).

Quality of Service (QoS) Commands
468

ProSafe Managed Switch

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure QOS Differentiated Services
(DiffServ).
You configure DiffServ in several stages by specifying three DiffServ components:
1. Class
a. Creating and deleting classes.
b. Defining match criteria for a class.
2. Policy
a. Creating and deleting policies
b. Associating classes with a policy
c. Defining policy statements for a policy/class combination
3. Service
a. Adding and removing a policy to/from an inbound or outbound interface
The DiffServ class defines the packet filtering criteria. The attributes of a DiffServ policy
define the way the switch processes packets. You can define policy attributes on a per-class
instance basis. The switch applies these attributes when a match occurs.
Packet processing begins when the switch tests the match criteria for a packet. The switch
applies a policy to a packet when it finds a class match within that policy.
The following rules apply when you create a DiffServ class:
•

Each class can contain a maximum of one referenced (nested) class

•

Class definitions do not support hierarchical service policies

A given class definition can contain a maximum of one reference to another class. You can
combine the reference with other match criteria. The referenced class is truly a reference and
not a copy since additions to a referenced class affect all classes that reference it. Changes
to any class definition currently referenced by any other class must result in valid class
definitions for all derived classes, otherwise the switch rejects the change. You can remove a
class reference from a class definition.
The only way to remove an individual match criterion from an existing class definition is to
delete the class and re-create it.

Note: The mark possibilities for policing include CoS, IP DSCP, and IP
Precedence. While the latter two are only meaningful for IP packet
types, CoS marking is allowed for both IP and non-IP packets, since
it updates the 802.1p user priority field contained in the VLAN tag of
the layer 2 packet header.

DiffServ Class Commands
Use the DiffServ class commands to define traffic classification. To classify traffic, you specify
Behavior Aggregate (BA), based on DSCP and Multi-Field (MF) classes of traffic (name,
match criteria)
This set of commands consists of class creation/deletion and matching, with the class match
commands specifying Layer 3, Layer 2, and general match criteria. The class match criteria
are also known as class rules, with a class definition consisting of one or more rules to
identify the traffic that belongs to the class.

Note: Once you create a class match criterion for a class, you cannot
change or delete the criterion. To change or delete a class match
criterion, you must delete and re-create the entire class.

The CLI command root is class-map.

class-map
This command defines a DiffServ class of type match-all. When used without any match
condition, this command enters the class-map mode. The  is a case
sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 31 characters uniquely identifying an existing DiffServ
class.

Note: The class-map-name default is reserved and must not be used.

The class type of match-all indicates all of the individual match conditions must be true for
a packet to be considered a member of the class. This command may be used without
specifying a class type to enter the Class-Map Config mode for an existing DiffServ class.

Note: The optional keywords [{ipv4 | ipv6}] specify the Layer 3
protocol for this class. If not specified, this parameter defaults to
ipv4. This maintains backward compatibility for configurations
defined on systems before IPv6 match items were supported.

Note: The CLI mode is changed to Class-Map Config or Ipv6-Class-Map
Config when this command is successfully executed depending on
the [{ipv4 | ipv6}] keyword specified.

Format

class-map match-all  [{ipv4 | ipv6}]

no class-map
This command eliminates an existing DiffServ class. The  is the name
of an existing DiffServ class. (The class name ‘default’ is reserved and is not allowed here.)
This command may be issued at any time; if the class is currently referenced by one or more
policies or by any other class, the delete action fails.
Format

class-map rename
This command changes the name of a DiffServ class. The  is the
name of an existing DiffServ class. The  parameter is a
case-sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 31 characters uniquely identifying the class.
Default

none

match ethertype
This command adds to the specified class definition a match condition based on the value of
the ethertype. The  value is specified as one of the following keywords:
appletalk, arp, ibmsna, ipv4, ipv6, ipx, mplsmcast, mplsucast, netbios,
novell, pppoe, rarp or as a custom ethertype value in the range of 0x0600-0xFFFF.

Note the following:
•

The parameters  and  can not be the same.

•

Only one other class may be referenced by a class.

•

Any attempts to delete the  class while the class is still referenced by any
 fails.

•

The combined match criteria of  and  must be an
allowed combination based on the class type.

•

Any subsequent changes to the  class match criteria must maintain this
validity, or the change attempt fails.

•

The total number of class rules formed by the complete reference class chain (including
both predecessor and successor classes) must not exceed a platform-specific maximum.
