Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 Stackable Switches Hardware Installation Guide says that Virtual
Cable Test (VCT) technology is supported on the Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 stackable
switches. This is incorrect VCT is not supported on Brocade ICX 6430 and ICX 6450 stackable

FastIron Configuration Guide Updates

The information in this section are updates to the 07.4.00a version of the FastIron Configuration
Guide.
Configuring stack guard
A stack unit can be configured to disable the stacking control traffic on non-stacking ports.
The stacking control traffic boundary can be defined by configuring the stack guard command. The
stack guard command, if configured allows the stacking control traffic only through the ports
configured as stacking ports.
NOTE
A port which is part of stack connection is also considered as stacking port.
The following scenario explains stacking control traffic on a stack where the stack guard command
is configured:
In a two unit stack consisting of Unit 1 and Unit 2, the prospective stacking ports are as follows:
• Unit 1: 1/2/1 and 1/2/3
• Unit 2: 2/2/1 and 2/2/3
Assume that the connecting ports between Unit 1 and Unit 2 are 1/2/3 and 2/2/1. In such a
scenario, ports 1/2/1 and 2/2/3 are free to be used as data ports. If stack guard is enabled and
ports 1/2/3, 2/2/1, and 2/2/3 are configured as stacking ports using the stack-port command,
the stacking packet will not be sent or received on port 1/2/1.

The stacking control traffic is allowed on stacking and non-stacking ports.
Command
Modes
Global configuration mode
Usage
Guidelines
The no form of the command removes the stack guard configuration and allows the stacking
control traffic on both stacking and non-stacking ports.
Examples
The following example configures stack guard functionality.
Brocade(config)# stack guard
History
Release
Command History
07.4.00h
This command was introduced.
Enabling BPDU protection by port
Before enabling STP BPDU guard on individual interfaces, spanning tree must be enabled on the
corresponding VLAN.
Configuration notes for port mirroring and monitoring
Port mirroring on SX chassis between third generation and first generation modules is not
supported. If the first generation module has the mirror port and the third generation module is
being monitored, the mirrored packets will contain CRC errors.
LLDP configuration notes and considerations
By default, the Brocade device forwards LLDP packets even though LLDP is not configured on the
device. This ensures consistency with other protocols and allows transparent forwarding, though it
amounts to noncompliance with IEEE Standards.

Event (RMON group 9)
Event (RMON group 9)
There are two elements to the Event Group--the event control table and the event log table .
The event control table defines the action to be taken when an alarm is reported. Defined events
can be found by entering the CLI command, show event. The Event Log Table collects and stores
reported events for retrieval by an RMON application.
A sample entry and syntax of the event control table is shown below.
device(config)# rmon event 1 description ‘testing a longer string’
trap public owner nyc02
Syntax
rmon event event-entry description text-string {log | trap | log-and-trap} owner
rmon-station
NOTE
FastIron devices currently support only the trap option.
Trunk group load sharing
The following note is removed from the Trunk group load sharing section:
NOTE
Layer 2 and Layer 3 AppleTalk traffic is not load-balanced. Layer 3 routed IP or IPX traffic also is not
load balanced. These traffic types will however still be forwarded on the trunk ports.
Trunk group rules
The Trunk group rules section is updated with the following content:
• The sFlow configuration enabled on the primary port of a trunk group is applicable to all the
ports of the trunk group. Disabling the sFlow on the primary port of a trunk group removes the
configuration from all the ports of the trunk group.
• Combination of copper and fibre ports, even if they are of the same speed, cannot be
members the same trunk group.
Configuring a multi-port static MAC address
If the system has only default VLAN, the command to add a static entry for a server has to be
issued from the global configuration mode.
If the system has multiple VLANs, the command has to be issued from the VLAN configuration
mode.
device(config-vlan-30)#static-mac-address 0000.0063.67ff ethernet 1/1/1

Configuring and enabling sFlow
Configuring and enabling sFlow
The following note is removed from the Configuring and enabling sFlow section:
NOTE
If you change the router ID or other IP address value that sFlow uses for its agent_address, you need
to disable and then re-enable sFlow to cause the feature to use the new source address.
Changing the login timeout period for Telnet sessions
The default login timeout period value of a Telnet session is 1 minute.
Configuring the route map
The description of the deny parameter is updated as follows:
Syntax
[no] route-map map-name { permit | deny } num
If you specify deny routemap instance, it is ignored and not programmed in Layer 4 CAM.
Scroll control
The following content is updated in the “Scroll control” section:
By default, the CLI uses a page mode to paginate displays that are longer than 24 lines to 24-line
page increments. For example, if you display a list of all the commands at the global CONFIG level,
the page mode stops the display at each 24-line increment and lists your choices for continuing the
display. An example is given below.
aaa
all-client
appletalk
arp
boot
some lines omitted for brevity...
ipx
lock-address

The software provides the following scrolling options:
• Press the Space bar to display the next page (one screen at a time).
• Press the Return or Enter key to display the next line (one line at a time).
• Press Ctrl-C or Q to cancel the display.
To toggle page display mode, enter the skip and page commands from the Privileged EXEC level of

Adding multiple ACLs to a route map
You can apply multiple ACLs to a route map by entering commands such as the following:
device(config)#route-map test-route
device(config-routemap test-route)match ip address 50 51 52 53 54
Configuring exec authorization
When TACACS+ exec authorization is performed, the Brocade device consults a TACACS+ server to
determine the privilege level of the authenticated user. To configure TACACS+ exec authorization
on the Brocade device, enter the following command:
Brocade(config)#aaa authorization exec default tacacs+
Syntax
aaa authorization exec default tacacs+[none]
Configuring an IP helper unicast
By default, IP helper does not forward client broadcast request to a server within the network. To
forward a client broadcast request when the client and server are on the same network, configure
an IP helper with unicast option on the interface connected to the client.
To configure an IP helper unicast option on interface 2 on chassis module 1, enter the following
commands:
device(config)# interface 1/2
device(config-if-1/2)ip helper-address 1 10.10.10.1 unicast
The IP helper with unicast parameter forwards the client request to the server 10.10.10.1 which is
within the network.
Syntax:
ip helper-address num ip-addr (unicast)
The num parameter specifies the helper address number and can be from 1 through 16.
The ip-addr command specifies the server IP address or the subnet directed broadcast address
of the IP subnet the server is in.
The unicast parameter specifies that the client request must be forwarded to the server which is on
the same network.

Port speed and duplex mode modification
On SXL with authentication protocols and high traffic, the clear mac and mac flush operations log a
lot of new address messages resulting in high CPU utilization for few minutes.

The following note is added in the “Port speed and duplex mode modification” section.
NOTE
When you use fix speed and duplex configuration, the non-auto MDI-MDIX configuration should be
used.
PHY calibration in stack ports of ICX 6610
On every boot initialization, an ICX 6610 device performs PHY calibration on the 40G and 4*10G
stack ports. Sometimes, this calibration is incorrect, and results in CRC errors and link drops on a
port. FastIron IronWare detects the calibration errors and, by default, recovers the port by
recalibrating it. You can use the no snmp-server enable traps nlp-phy-40g command to disable this
recovery of incorrectly calibrated stack ports. To re-enable the default behavior of recalibrating the
incorrectly calibrated stack ports for recovery, use the snmp-server enable traps nlp-phy-40g
command.
Syslog messages for PHY calibration
On boot initialization, an ICX 6610 device in a stack performs PHY calibration on its 40G and
4*10G stack ports, and generates a syslog message. The following syslog message example shows
the calibration of all 16 ports(4 PHY with 4 lanes for each) on an ICX 6610 stack unit.
SYSLOG: <14>0d00h02m52s : ICX6610-48 Router System: Port init success

If any stack port in an ICX 6610 device has the PHY Tx or Rx CMU (voltage) reaching a threshold
value of 31 and the port is recalibrated, the stack unit generates a syslog message similar to the
following:

Stack port resiliency in ICX 6610 devices
Stack port resiliency in ICX 6610 devices
In an ICX 6610 device, sometimes a stacking port cannot send or receive packets though the port
is logically operational. To detect this, probe packets are sent between the ICX 6610 units in a
stack every two seconds. If a port is logically operational and does not receive a probe packet for
60 seconds, it is considered a malfunctioning port. To resolve this, you can configure the active
controller to perform correctional steps such as error-disabling malfunctioning ports and reloading
one or more stack units. You can use the show errdisable summary command to view a list of all
error-disabled ports with the reason for error-disabling these ports.
NOTE
A malfunctioning stack port that is error-disabled cannot be enabled until the unit is reloaded.
NOTE
Traffic interruption happens for a few seconds or longer while the port malfunction is detected and
fixed.
Configuring stack port resiliency in ICX 6610
To configure stack port resiliency on an ICX 6610 device in a stack, run the stack
stack-port-resiliency command in global configuration mode. This enables the active controller to
perform correctional steps such as error-disabling malfunctioning ports and reloading one or more
stack units, depending on the value configured for the level variable in this command.
The following example shows the configuration of stack port resiliency on a stack with the level
variable value set to 2.
Brocade(config)# stack stack-port-resiliency 2
Syslog messages for stack port resiliency
For stack port resiliency, syslog messages are generated when the active controller performs
correctional steps such as error-disabling malfunctioning ports, reloading one or more stack units,
and reloading an entire stack. These syslog messages do not have a fixed format. They also may
not be entirely accurate because of communication problems between stack units.
When a malfunctioning port is error-disabled, the stack unit generates a syslog message similar to
the following:
SYSLOG: <10>0d00h10m22s : ICX6610-24P Router Stack: port 2/2/8 U2
errdisable 2/2/8: reason: 2/2/8 --> 1/2/8
When a stack unit reloads, the stack unit generates a syslog message similar to the following:
SYSLOG: <9>3d21h52m57s : ICX6610-24P Router Stack: unit 3 Reload u3 in
10 sec due to 3/2/6 port problems. reason: lose one nbr

port problem. will reload u2: one directional CPU to CPU: u2 --> u3, one
directional CPU to CPU: u2 --> u4,
When the entire stack reloads, the active controller generates a syslog message similar to the
following:
SYSLOG: <9>0d00h12m07s : ICX6610-48 Router Stack: "stack
stack-port-resiliency 3" is configured. Active u3 reloads the stack in 5s.

stack stack-port-resiliency
NOTE
This command is only supported on an ICX 6610 device in a stack.
Configures different levels of correctional steps that an active controller can take to fix stacking
ports that cannot send or receive packets though the ports are logically operational. The
correctional steps involve error-disabling malfunctioning ports and reloading one or more stack
units. The no form of this command sets the level variable value to 1.

Parameters
Command
Modes
Usage
Guidelines
This feature is enabled with the level variable value set to 1.
level
When a stacking port is malfunctioning, the correctional steps that an active
controller can take, depend on the value of this level variable. Its value can
range from 0 to 3.
Global configuration mode
NOTE
A non-active controller is any stack unit that is not an active controller.
NOTE
If you use the command and set the level variable value to 1, this configuration shows in the show
run command output. If you use the no form of this command, the level variable value is set to 1 but
this configuration will not show in the show run command output.
The different levels and the corresponding correctional steps are as follows:
• If the level value is set to 0, the active controller does not perform any correctional steps.
• If the level value is set to 1 and the unit with the malfunctioning port is a non-active controller:
• The active controller checks if other ports in the same static LAG are fully operational.
• If the total bandwidth of the operational static LAG is equal to or more than 20 Gbps, the
malfunctioning port is error-disabled.
• If the total bandwidth of the operational static LAG is less than 20 Gbps and error-disabling
all ports of the LAG can lead to the disconnection of one or more other units from the
stack, the unit reloads.
• If the total bandwidth of the operational static LAG is less than 20 Gbps and error-disabling
all ports of the LAG does not lead to the disconnection of one or more other units from the
stack, all the ports of the LAG are error-disabled.
• If the level value is set to 2 and the unit with the malfunctioning port is a non-active controller,
the unit reloads. After this reload, if any other non-active controller unit is not able to
communicate with the active controller, it also reloads.

Enabling broadcast or unknown unicast traffic to the PVLAN on FSX devices
• If the level value is set to 3, the correctional steps in level 2 are performed. If the port is still not
operating correctly, the entire stack reloads.
NOTE
You can use the show errdisable summary command to view a list of all error-disabled ports with the
reason for error-disabling these ports.
NOTE
Traffic interruption happens for a few seconds or longer while the port malfunction is detected and
fixed.

Selection of master node
NOTE
Any node on an MRP ring that has two shared interfaces cannot be elected as the master node.
Static MAC address
The following note in the “Configuring a multi-port static MAC address” and “Assigning static MAC
entries to priority queues” sections is not valid.
NOTE
The location of the static-mac-address command in the CLI depends on whether you configure
port-based VLANs on the device. If the device does not have more than one port-based VLAN (VLAN
1, which is the default VLAN that contains all the ports), the static-mac-address command is at the
global CONFIG level of the CLI. If the device has more than one port-based VLAN, then the
static-mac-address command is not available at the global CONFIG level. In this case, the command
is available at the configuration level for each port-based VLAN.

ACL-based Rate Limiting and ACL Counting
The feature support table in Chapter 50, Rate Limiting on FastIron WS Series Switches shows that
ICX 6610, ICX 6430, and ICX 6450 support ACL-based rate limiting. That is incorrect. These devices
do not support ACL-based Rate Limiting.
Also, that feature support table should say that ACL counting is not supported on ICX 6430.
FWS supports DSA keys only
The section on SSH2 authentication types in the FastIron Configuration Guide does not contain
information about the limitation for FWS devices. FWS devices support only DSA keys and hence
there are no options for the crypto key generate command. On FWS devices, the syntax is crypto
key generate | zeroize.

MCT configuration considerations
The following content in the 07.4.00a version of the FastIron Configuration Guide is incomplete or
inaccurate:
• An ICL is preferably a static trunk that provides port level redundancy and higher bandwidth for
cluster communication.
• An ICL cannot be an LACP trunk (must be either a static trunk or single port).
The revised content is as follows:
• It is recommended that you set up ICL as a static trunk with at least two ports. This provides
port level redundancy and higher bandwidth for cluster communication.
• An ICL cannot be a regular port link or an LACP trunk. It must be a single or multiple ports
static trunk.
The following content is an additional MCT configuration consideration in the 07.4.00a version of
the FastIron Configuration Guide:
• In any MCT configuration, there are two different cluster-related IDs, the Cluster ID and the
Cluster RBridge ID. The Cluster ID uniquely identifies a cluster and all cluster devices in the
same MCT cluster have the same Cluster ID. The Cluster RBridge ID uniquely identifies a
cluster device within the cluster. To avoid conflicts, ensure that the Cluster ID and the Cluster
RBridge ID are unique within an MCT configuration and not confused with each other.
