Description of Software Features
The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance enhancing
features. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks
caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast
traffic storms from engulfing the network. Port-based and private VLANs,
plus support for automatic GVRP VLAN registration provide traffic
security and efficient use of network bandwidth. CoS priority queueing
ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data across
the network. While multicast filtering provides support for real-time
network applications. Some of the management features are briefly
described below.

Configuration Backup and Restore – You can save the current
configuration settings to a file on a TFTP server, and later download this
file to restore the switch configuration settings.
Authentication – This switch authenticates management access via the
console port, Telnet or web browser. User names and passwords can be
configured locally or can be verified via a remote authentication server (i.e.,
RADIUS or TACACS+). Port-based authentication is also supported via
the IEEE 802.1X protocol. This protocol uses the Extensible
Authentication Protocol over LANs (EAPOL) to request user credentials
from the 802.1X client, and then verifies the client’s right to access the
network via an authentication server.
Other authentication options include HTTPS for secure management
access via the web, SSH for secure management access over a
Telnet-equivalent connection, IP address filtering for SNMP/web/Telnet
management access, and MAC address filtering for port access.
Access Control Lists – ACLs provide packet filtering for IP frames
(based on address, protocol, TCP/UDP port number or TCP control
code) or any frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type). ACLs can
be used to improve performance by blocking unnecessary network traffic
or to implement security controls by restricting access to specific network
resources or protocols.
Port Configuration – You can manually configure the speed, duplex
mode, and flow control used on specific ports, or use auto-negotiation to
detect the connection settings used by the attached device. Use the
full-duplex mode on ports whenever possible to double the throughput of
switch connections. Flow control should also be enabled to control
network traffic during periods of congestion and prevent the loss of
packets when port buffer thresholds are exceeded. The switch supports
flow control based on the IEEE 802.3x standard.
I
NTRODUCTION
1-4
Rate Limiting – This feature controls the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on
interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the
network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets
that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Port Mirroring – The switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any
port to a monitor port. You can then attach a protocol analyzer or RMON
probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify connection
integrity.
Port Trunking – Ports can be combined into an aggregate connection.
Trunks can be manually set up or dynamically configured using IEEE
802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The additional ports
dramatically increase the throughput across any connection, and provide
redundancy by taking over the load if a port in the trunk should fail. The
switch supports up to four trunks.
Broadcast Storm Control – Broadcast suppression prevents broadcast
traffic from overwhelming the network. When enabled on a port, the level
of broadcast traffic passing through the port is restricted. If broadcast
traffic rises above a pre-defined threshold, it will be throttled until the level
falls back beneath the threshold.
Static Addresses – A static address can be assigned to a specific interface
on this switch. Static addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will
not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the
address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table. Static
addresses can be used to provide network security by restricting access for
a known host to a specific port.
IEEE 802.1D Bridge – The switch supports IEEE 802.1D transparent
bridging. The address table facilitates data switching by learning addresses,
and then filtering or forwarding traffic based on this information. The
address table supports up to 8K addresses.

OF
S
OFTWARE

Store-and-Forward Switching – The switch copies each frame into its
memory before forwarding them to another port. This ensures that all
frames are a standard Ethernet size and have been verified for accuracy
with the cyclic redundancy check (CRC). This prevents bad frames from
entering the network and wasting bandwidth.
To avoid dropping frames on congested ports, the switch provides 8 MB
for frame buffering. This buffer can queue packets awaiting transmission
on congested networks.
Spanning Tree Algorithm – The switch supports these spanning tree
protocols:
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, IEEE 802.1D) – This protocol provides
loop detection and recovery by allowing two or more redundant
connections to be created between a pair of LAN segments. When there
are multiple physical paths between segments, this protocol will choose a
single path and disable all others to ensure that only one route exists
between any two stations on the network. This prevents the creation of
network loops. However, if the chosen path should fail for any reason, an
alternate path will be activated to maintain the connection.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP, IEEE 802.1w) – This protocol
reduces the convergence time for network topology changes to 3 to 5
seconds, compared to 30 seconds or more for the older IEEE 802.1D STP
standard. It is intended as a complete replacement for STP, but can still
interoperate with switches running the older standard by automatically
reconfiguring ports to STP-compliant mode if they detect STP protocol
messages from attached devices.
Virtual LANs – The switch supports up to 255 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is
a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain
regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network.
The switch supports tagged VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
Members of VLAN groups can be dynamically learned via GVRP, or ports
can be manually assigned to a specific set of VLANs. This allows the
I
NTRODUCTION
1-6
switch to restrict traffic to the VLAN groups to which a user has been
assigned. By segmenting your network into VLANs, you can:
• Eliminate broadcast storms which severely degrade performance in a
flat network.
• Simplify network management for node changes/moves by remotely
configuring VLAN membership for any port, rather than having to
manually change the network connection.
• Provide data security by restricting all traffic to the originating VLAN.
• Use private VLANs to restrict traffic to pass only between data ports
and the uplink ports, thereby isolating adjacent ports within the same
VLAN, and allowing you to limit the total number of VLANs that need
to be configured.
Traffic Prioritization – This switch prioritizes each packet based on the
required level of service, using four priority queues with strict or Weighted
Round Robin Queuing. It uses IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q tags to prioritize
incoming traffic based on input from the end-station application. These
functions can be used to provide independent priorities for delay-sensitive
data and best-effort data.
This switch also supports several common methods of prioritizing layer 3/
4 traffic to meet application requirements. Traffic can be prioritized based
on the priority bits in the IP frame’s Type of Service (ToS) octet or the
number of the TCP/UDP port. When these services are enabled, the
priorities are mapped to a Class of Service value by the switch, and the
traffic then sent to the corresponding output queue.
Multicast Filtering – Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own
VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and
to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the
designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping and Query to manage
multicast group registration.

assignments shown in the Installation Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC
running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining
screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
switch.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
• Set the baud rate to 9600 bps.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none.
• Set the emulation mode to VT100.
• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows

Remote Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection,
you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using a console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To
manually configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via
DHCP or BOOTP, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-9.
Note: This switch supports four concurrent Telnet/SSH sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The
onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any
computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any
computer using a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or from a network computer using
SNMP network management software.
Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration
functions. To access the full range of SNMP management
functions, you must use SNMP-based network management
software.

Stack Operations
You can stack up to eight SMC6224M units, four SMC6248M units, or
four units when both switch types are stacked together. Refer to the
Installation Guide for details on stacking these units. One unit in the stack
acts as the Master for configuration tasks and firmware upgrade. All of the
other units function in Slave mode.
Note: If more than one stack Master is selected using the Master push
button on the switch’s front panel, the stack will not function.
Also, if a stack consists of more than one unit, and the Master
button is not depressed on any unit, the stack will not function.
Unit Numbering
Note the following points about unit numbering:
• When the stack is initially powered on, the Master unit is designated as
unit 1 in a ring topology. In a line topology, the stack is simply
numbered from top to bottom, with the first unit in the stack
designated at unit 1. This unit identification number can be selected on
the front panel graphic of the web interface, or from the CLI.
• To configure any unit in the stack, first verify the unit number by
counting down from the Master unit in a ring topology or from the top
unit in a line topology (or use the light unit command to display the
unit number via the port LEDs as described on page 4-78), and then
select the appropriate unit number from the web or console
management interface.
• If a unit in the stack fails or is removed from the stack, the unit
numbers will not change. This means that when you replace a unit in
the stack, the original configuration for the failed unit will be restored
to the replacement unit.

NITIAL
C
ONFIGURATION
2-6
Recovering from Stack Failure or Topology Change
Note the following points about recovering from a stack change:
• When using a “line” topology, if any link or unit in the stack fails, the
stack will be split into two separate segments. The new stack segments
will then reboot and resume normal operation if a new segment
contains the original Master unit, or if a new segment now contains
only one switch. In other words, a new segment will resume normal
operation unless it contains more than one switch and the Master
button is not depressed on any of these switches. If the later case is
true, and a segment fails to resume operation, you can either replace
the failed connection to restore operation to the original stack, or
depress the Master button on one of the switches in this segment..
• If you are using a wrap-around stack topology, a single point of failure
in the stack will not cause the stack to fail. It would take two or more
points of failure to break the stack apart. The stack will merely reboot
to detect the new stack’s topology, and then resume normal operation.
• When a link or unit in the stack fails, a trap message is sent and a failure
event is logged. The stack will be rebooted after any system failure or
topology change. It takes two to three minutes for the stack to reboot.
Also note that powering down a unit or inserting a new unit in the stack
will cause the stack to reboot.
Resilient IP Interface for Management Access
The stack functions as one integral system for management and
configuration purposes. You can therefore manage the stack through any
unit in the stack. The Master unit does not even have to include an active
port member in the VLAN interface used for management access.
However, if the unit to which you normally connect for management
access fails, and there are no active port members on the other units within
this VLAN interface, then this IP address will no longer be available. To
retain a constant IP address for management access across fail over events,
you should include port members on several units within the primary
VLAN used for stack management.

Basic Configuration
Console Connection
The CLI program provides two different command levels — normal
access level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level (Privileged Exec).
The commands available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of
those available at the Privileged Exec level and allow you to only display
information and use basic utilities. To fully configure the switch
parameters, you must access the CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Note: You can only access the console interface through the Master unit
in the stack
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords.
The switch has a default user name and password for each level. To log
into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using the default user name and
password, perform these steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User Access
Verification” procedure starts.
2. At the Username prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password
characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt
indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.

Setting Passwords
Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you should
define new passwords for both default user names using the
“username” command, record them and put them in a safe place.
Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case
sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords
as follows:
1. Open the console interface with the default user name and password
“admin” to access the Privileged Exec level.
2. Type “configure” and press <Enter>.
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal Exec
level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
4. Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the Privileged Exec
level, where password is your new password. Press <Enter>.
Note: ‘0’ specifies the password in plain text, ‘7’ specifies the

Setting an IP Address
You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain
management access through the network. This can be done in either of the
following ways:
Manual — You have to input the information, including IP address and
subnet mask. If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as
the stack’s master unit, you will also need to specify the default gateway
router.
Dynamic — The switch sends IP configuration requests to BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network.
Manual Configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to
specify a default gateway that resides between this device and management
stations that exist on another network segment. Valid IP addresses consist
of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside
this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
Note: The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default.
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the
following information from your network administrator:
• IP address for the switch
• Default gateway for the network
• Network mask for this network
To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt,
type “interface vlan 1” to access the interface-configuration mode.
Press <Enter>.

2. Type “ip address ip-address netmask,” where “ip-address” is the switch
IP address and “netmask” is the network mask for the network. Press
<Enter>.
3. Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press
<Enter>.
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which
the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where “gateway”
is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.
Dynamic Configuration
If you select the “bootp” or “dhcp” option, IP will be enabled but will not
function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. You therefore
need to use the “ip dhcp restart” command to start broadcasting service
requests. Requests will be sent periodically in an effort to obtain IP
configuration information. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
If the “bootp” or “dhcp” option is saved to the startup-config file (step 6),
then the switch will start broadcasting service requests as soon as it is
powered on.
To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or
DHCP address allocation servers on the network, complete the following
steps:
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1”
to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

commands:
• To obtain IP settings via DHCP, type “ip address dhcp” and press

• To obtain IP settings via BOOTP, type “ip address bootp” and
press <Enter>.
3. Type “end” to return to the Privileged Exec mode. Press <Enter>.
4. Type “ip dhcp restart” to begin broadcasting service requests.
Press <Enter>.
5. Wait a few minutes, and then check the IP configuration settings by
typing the “show ip interface” command. Press <Enter>.
6. Then save your configuration changes by typing “copy running-config
startup-config.” Enter the startup file name and press <Enter>.
Enabling SNMP Management Access
The switch can be configured to accept management commands from
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as
SMC EliteView. You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP
requests or (2) generate SNMP traps.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip address dhcp
Console(config-if)#end
Console#ip dhcp restart
Console#show ip interface

When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to
return information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the
requested data or sets the specified parameter. The switch can also be
configured to send information to SNMP managers (without being
requested by the managers) through trap messages, which inform the
manager that certain events have occurred.
Community Strings
Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP
stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive trap messages
from the switch. You therefore need to assign community strings to
specified users or user groups, and set the access level.
The default strings are:
•public - with read-only access. Authorized management stations are
only able to retrieve MIB objects.
•private - with read-write access. Authorized management stations are
able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects.
Note: If you do not intend to utilize SNMP, we recommend that you
delete both of the default community strings. If there are no
community strings, then SNMP management access to the switch
is disabled.
To prevent unauthorized access to the switch via SNMP, it is
recommended that you change the default community strings.
To configure a community string, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt,
type “snmp-server community string mode,” where “string” is the
community access string and “mode” is rw (read/write) or ro (read
only). Press <Enter>. (Note that the default mode is read only.)

Trap Receivers
You can also specify SNMP stations that are to receive traps from the
switch. To configure a trap receiver, complete the following steps:
1. From the Privileged Exec level global configuration mode prompt,
type “snmp-server host host-address community-string,” where
“host-address” is the IP address for the trap receiver and
“community-string” is the string associated with that host. Press
<Enter>.
2. In order to configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you must
enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. Type
“snmp-server enable traps type,” where “type” is either authentication
or link-up-down. Press <Enter>.
Saving Configuration Settings
Configuration commands only modify the running configuration file and
are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To save all your configuration
changes in nonvolatile storage, you must copy the running configuration
file to the start-up configuration file using the “copy” command.
To save the current configuration settings, enter the following command:
1. From the Privileged Exec mode prompt, type “copy running-config
startup-config” and press <Enter>.

Managing System Files
The switch’s flash memory supports three types of system files that can be
managed by the CLI program, web interface, or SNMP. The switch’s file
system allows files to be uploaded and downloaded, copied, deleted, and
set as a start-up file.
The three types of files are:
•Configuration — This file stores system configuration information
and is created when configuration settings are saved. Saved
configuration files can be selected as a system start-up file or can be
uploaded via TFTP to a server for backup. A file named
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains all the system default settings
and cannot be deleted from the system. See “Saving or Restoring
Configuration Settings” on page 3-24 for more information.
•Operation Code — System software that is executed after boot-up,
also known as run-time code. This code runs the switch operations and
provides the CLI and web management interfaces. See “Managing
Firmware” on page 3-21 for more information.
•Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system boot-up, also
known as POST (Power On Self-Test).

Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only two
operation code files. However, you can have as many diagnostic code files
and configuration files as available flash memory space allows.
In the system flash memory, one file of each type must be set as the
start-up file. During a system boot, the diagnostic and operation code files
set as the start-up file are run, and then the start-up configuration file is
loaded.
Note that configuration files should be downloaded using a file name that
reflects the contents or usage of the file settings. If you download directly
to the running-config, the system will reboot, and the settings will have to
be copied from the running-config to a permanent file.

CHAPTER 3
CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web agent. Using a web browser
you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network
activity. The web agent can be accessed by any computer on the network
using a standard web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 6.2 or above).
Note: You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage
the switch over a serial connection to the console port or via
Telnet. For more information on using the CLI, refer to Chapter 4
“Command Line Interface.”
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first
performed the following tasks:
1. Configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway using an out-of-band serial connection, BOOTP or DHCP
protocol. (See “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-9.)
2. Set user names and passwords using an out-of-band serial connection.
Access to the web agent is controlled by the same user names and
passwords as the onboard configuration program. (See “Setting
Passwords” on page 2-8.)
3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the
system configuration program.

Notes: 1. You are allowed three attempts to enter the correct password;
on the third failed attempt the current connection is
terminated.
2. If you log into the web interface as guest (Normal Exec level),
you can view the configuration settings or change the guest
password. If you log in as “admin” (Privileged Exec level), you
can change the settings on any page.
3. If the path between your management station and this switch
does not pass through any device that uses the Spanning Tree
Algorithm, then you can set the switch port attached to your
management station to fast forwarding (i.e., enable Admin
Edge Port) to improve the switch’s response time to
management commands issued through the web interface. See
“Configuring Interface Settings” on page 3-140.

Field Attributes
•Extended Multicast Filtering Services – This switch does not
support the filtering of individual multicast addresses based on GMRP
(GARP Multicast Registration Protocol).
•Traffic Classes – This switch provides mapping of user priorities to
multiple traffic classes. (Refer to “Class of Service Configuration” on
page 3-169.)
•Static Entry Individual Port – This switch allows static filtering for
unicast and multicast addresses. (Refer to “Setting Static Addresses”
on page 3-122.)
•VLAN Learning – This switch uses Independent VLAN Learning
(IVL), where each port maintains its own filtering database.

CLI – Enter the following command.
Setting the Switch’s IP Address
This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access over the network. The IP address for the stack is obtained via
DHCP by default. To manually configure an address, you need to change
the switch’s default settings (IP address 0.0.0.0 and netmask 255.0.0.0) to
values that are compatible with your network. You may also need to a
establish a default gateway between the stack and management stations
that exist on another network segment.
You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the device to
obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the CLI program.
Command Attributes
• Management VLAN – ID of the configured VLAN (1-4094, no
leading zeroes). By default, all ports on the switch are members of
VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a port
belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an
IP address.
•IP Address Mode – Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via
manual configuration (Static), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP), or Boot Protocol (BOOTP). If DHCP/BOOTP is enabled,
IP will not function until a reply has been received from the server.

•IP Address – Address of the VLAN interface that is allowed
management access. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to
255, separated by periods. (Default: 0.0.0.0)
•Subnet Mask – This mask identifies the host address bits used for
routing to specific subnets. (Default: 255.0.0.0)
•Gateway IP address – IP address of the gateway router between this
device and management stations that exist on other network segments.
(Default: 0.0.0.0)
•MAC Address – The physical layer address for this switch.

System Log (syslog) server, and displays a list of recent event messages.
System Log Configuration
The system allows you to enable or disable event logging, and specify
which levels are logged to RAM or flash memory.
Severe error messages that are logged to flash memory are permanently
stored in the switch to assist in troubleshooting network problems. Up to
4096 log entries can be stored in the flash memory, with the oldest entries
being overwritten first when the available log memory (256 kilobytes) has
been exceeded.
The System Logs page allows you to configure and limit system messages

Setting the System Clock
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal
clock based on periodic updates from a time server (SNTP or NTP).
Maintaining an accurate time on the switch enables the system log to
record meaningful dates and times for event entries. You can also manually
set the clock using the CLI. (See “calendar set” on page 4-76.) If the clock
is not set, the switch will only record the time from the factory default set
at the last bootup.
When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request
for a time update to a configured time server. You can configure up to
three time server IP addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server
in the configured sequence.
Configuring SNTP
You can configure the switch to send time synchronization requests to
time servers.

Simple Network Management Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication
protocol designed specifically for managing devices on a network.
Equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers
and host computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for
proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to
evaluate performance or detect potential problems.
The switch includes an onboard SNMP agent that continuously monitors
the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its ports. A
network management station can access this information using software
such as SMC EliteView. Access rights to the onboard agent are controlled
by community strings. To communicate with the switch, the management
station must first submit a valid community string for authentication. The
options for configuring community strings, trap functions, and restricting
access to clients with specified IP addresses are described in the following
sections.
Setting Community Access Strings
You may configure up to five community strings authorized for
management access. All community strings used for IP Trap Managers
should be listed in this table. For security reasons, you should consider
removing the default strings.
Command Attributes
•SNMP Community Capability – Indicates that the switch supports
up to five community strings.
•Community String – A community string that acts like a password
and permits access to the SNMP protocol.
Default strings: “public” (read-only), “private” (read/write)
Range: 1-32 characters, case sensitive
C

•Access Mode
- Read-Only – Specifies read-only access. Authorized management
stations are only able to retrieve MIB objects.
- Read/Write – Specifies read-write access. Authorized management
stations are able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects.
Web – Click SNMP, Configuration. Add new community strings as
required, select the access rights from the Access Mode drop-down list,
then click Add.

Specifying Trap Managers and Trap Types
Traps indicating status changes are issued by the switch to specified trap
managers. You must specify trap managers so that key events are reported
by this switch to your management station (using network management
platforms such as SMC EliteView). You can specify up to five
management stations that will receive authentication failure messages and
other trap messages from the switch.

Configuring User Accounts
The guest only has read access for most configuration parameters.
However, the administrator has write access for all parameters governing
the onboard agent. You should therefore assign a new administrator
password as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place.
The default guest name is “guest” with the password “guest.” The default
administrator name is “admin” with the password “admin.”

Configuring Local/Remote Logon Authentication
Use the Authentication Settings menu to restrict management access based

based on RADIUS or TACACS+ protocols.
Remote
Authentication Dial-in
User Service
(RADIUS) and
Terminal Access
Controller Access
Control System Plus
(TACACS+) are logon
authentication
protocols that use
software running on a central server to control access to RADIUS-aware
or TACACS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server
contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated
privilege levels for each user that requires management access to the
switch.
RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. UDP only offers best
effort delivery, while TCP offers a connection-oriented transport. Also,
note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request
packet from the client to the server, while TACACS+ encrypts the entire
body of the packet.

authentication protocol. Local and remote logon authentication
control management access via the console port, web browser, or
Telnet.
• RADIUS and TACACS+ logon authentication assign a specific
privilege level for each user name/password pair. The user name,
password, and privilege level must be configured on the authentication
server.
• You can specify up to three authentication methods for any user to
indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you select (1)
RADIUS, (2) TACACS and (3) Local, the user name and password on
the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS server is not
available, then authentication is attempted using the TACACS+ server,
and finally the local user name and password is checked.
Command Attributes
•Authentication – Select the authentication, or authentication

Replacing the Default Secure-site Certificate
When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default,
the certificate that Netscape and Internet Explorer display will be
associated with a warning that the site is not recognized as a secure site.
This is because the certificate has not been signed by an approved
certification authority. If you want this warning to be replaced by a
message confirming that the connection to the switch is secure, you must
obtain a unique certificate and a private key and password from a
recognized certification authority.
Note: For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique Secure
Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. This is because
the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the hardware
you have purchased.

Configuring the Secure Shell
The Berkley-standard includes remote access tools originally designed for
Unix systems. Some of these tools have also been implemented for
Microsoft Windows and other environments. These tools, including
commands such as rlogin (remote login), rsh (remote shell), and rcp (remote
copy), are not secure from hostile attacks.
The Secure Shell (SSH) includes server/client applications intended as a
secure replacement for the older Berkley remote access tools. SSH can also
provide remote management access to this switch as a secure replacement
for Telnet. When the client contacts the switch via the SSH protocol, the
switch generates a public-key that the client uses along with a local user
name and password for access authentication. SSH also encrypts all data
transfers passing between the switch and SSH-enabled management
station clients, and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives
unaltered.
Note that you need to install an SSH client on the management station to
access the switch for management via the SSH protocol.
Note: The switch supports both SSH Version 1.5 and 2.0 clients.

Command Usage
The SSH server on this switch supports both password and public key
authentication. If password authentication is specified by the SSH client,
then the password can be authenticated either locally or via a RADIUS or
TACACS+ remote authentication server, as specified on the
Authentication Settings page (page 3-50). If public key authentication is
specified by the client, then you must configure authentication keys on
both the client and the switch as described in the following section. Note
that regardless of whether you use public key or password authentication,
you still have to generate authentication keys on the switch (SSH Host Key
Settings) and enable the SSH server (Authentication Settings).
To use the SSH server, complete these steps:
1. Generate a Host Key Pair – On the SSH Host Key Settings page, create a
host public/private key pair.
2. Provide Host Public Key to Clients – Many SSH client programs
automatically import the host public key during the initial connection
setup with the switch. Otherwise, you need to manually create a known
hosts file on the management station and place the host public key in it.
An entry for a public key in the known hosts file would appear similar
to the following example:
10.1.0.54 1024 35 15684995401867669259333946775054617325313674890836547254

3. Import Client’s Public Key to the Switch – Use the copy tftp public-key
command (page 4-86) to copy a file containing the public key for all the
SSH client’s granted management access to the switch. (Note that these
clients must be configured locally on the switch via the User Accounts
page as described on page 3-48.) The clients are subsequently
authenticated using these keys. The current firmware only accepts
public key files based on standard UNIX format as shown in the
following example for an RSA Version 1 key:

optional parameters, including the authentication timeout, the number
of retries, and the server key size.
5. Enable SSH Service – On the SSH Settings page, enable the SSH server
on the switch.
6. Challenge-Response Authentication – When an SSH client attempts to
contact the switch, the SSH server uses the host key pair to negotiate a
session key and encryption method. Only clients that have a private key
corresponding to the public keys stored on the switch can access. The
following exchanges take place during this process:
a. The client sends its public key to the switch.
b. The switch compares the client's public key to those stored in
memory.
c. If a match is found, the switch uses the public key to encrypt a
random sequence of bytes, and sends this string to the client.
d. The client uses its private key to decrypt the bytes, and sends the
decrypted bytes back to the switch.
C
ONFIGURING
THE
S
WITCH
3-60
e. The switch compares the decrypted bytes to the original bytes it
sent. If the two sets match, this means that the client's private key
corresponds to an authorized public key, and the client is
authenticated.
Notes: 1. To use SSH with only password authentication, the host public
key must still be given to the client, either during initial
connection or manually entered into the known host file.
However, you do not need to configure the client’s keys.
2. The SSH server supports up to four client sessions. The
maximum number of client sessions includes both current
Telnet sessions and SSH sessions.
Generating the Host Key Pair
A host public/private key pair is used to provide secure communications
between an SSH client and the switch. After generating this key pair, you
must provide the host public key to SSH clients and import the client’s
public key to the switch as described in the proceeding section (Command
Usage).
Field Attributes
•Public-Key of Host-Key – The public key for the host.
- RSA (Version 1): The first field indicates the size of the host key (e.g.,
1024), the second field is the encoded public exponent (e.g., 65537),
and the last string is the encoded modulus.
- DSA (Version 2): The first field indicates that the encryption method
used by SSH is based on the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). The
last string is the encoded modulus.
•Host-Key Type – The key type used to generate the host key pair (i.e.,
public and private keys). (Range: RSA (Version 1), DSA (Version 2),
Both: Default: RSA)

Configuring Port Security
Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with
one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized to access the
network through that port.
When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new
MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured
maximum number. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already
stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted as authorized
to access the network through that port. If a device with an unauthorized
MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion will be
detected and the switch can automatically take action by disabling the port
and sending a trap message.
To use port security, specify a maximum number of addresses to allow on
the port and then let the switch dynamically learn the <source MAC
address, VLAN> pair for frames received on the port. Note that you can
also manually add secure addresses to the port using the Static Address
Table (page 3-122). When the port has reached the maximum number of
MAC addresses the selected port will stop learning. The MAC addresses

Command Usage
• A secure port has the following restrictions:
- It cannot use port monitoring.
- It cannot be a multi-VLAN port.
- It cannot be used as a member of a static or dynamic trunk.
- It should not be connected to a network interconnection device.
• The default maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a secure
port is zero. You must configure a maximum address count from
1 - 1024 for the port to allow access.
• If a port is disabled (shut down) due to a security violation, it must be
manually re-enabled from the Port/Port Configuration page
(page 3-91).
Command Attributes
•Port – Port number.
•Name – Descriptive text (page 4-143).
•Action – Indicates the action to be taken when a port security violation
is detected:
-None: No action should be taken. (This is the default.)

Configuring 802.1X Port Authentication
Network switches can provide open and easy access to network resources
by simply attaching a client PC. Although this automatic configuration and
access is a desirable feature, it also allows unauthorized personnel to easily
intrude and possibly gain access to sensitive network data.
The IEEE 802.1X (dot1X) standard defines a port-based access control
procedure that prevents unauthorized access to a network by requiring
users to first submit credentials for authentication. Access to all switch
ports in a network can be centrally controlled from a server, which means
that authorized users can use the same credentials for authentication from
any point within the network.

This switch uses
the Extensible
Authentication
Protocol over LANs
(EAPOL) to
exchange
authentication
protocol messages
with the client, and a
remote RADIUS authentication server to verify user identity and access
rights. When a client (i.e., Supplicant) connects to a switch port, the switch
(i.e., Authenticator) responds with an EAPOL identity request. The client
provides its identity (such as a user name) in an EAPOL response to the
switch, which it forwards to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server
verifies the client identity and sends an access challenge back to the client.
The EAP packet from the RADIUS server contains not only the challenge,
but the authentication method to be used. The client can reject the
authentication method and request another, depending on the
configuration of the client software and the RADIUS server. The
authentication method must be MD5. The client responds to the
appropriate method with its credentials, such as a password or certificate.
The RADIUS server verifies the client credentials and responds with an
accept or reject packet. If authentication is successful, the switch allows the
client to access the network. Otherwise, network access is denied and the
port remains blocked.
The operation of 802.1X on the switch requires the following:
• The switch must have an IP address assigned.
• RADIUS authentication must be enabled on the switch and the IP
address of the RADIUS server specified.
• 802.1X must be enabled globally for the switch.
• Each switch port that will be used must be set to dot1X “Auto” mode.
• Each client that needs to be authenticated must have dot1X client
software installed and properly configured.

Filtering Addresses for Management Access
You create a list of up to 16 IP addresses or IP address groups that are
allowed management access to the switch through the web interface,
SNMP, or Telnet.
Command Usage
• The management interfaces are open to all IP addresses by default.
Once you add an entry to a filter list, access to that interface is
restricted to the specified addresses.
• If anyone tries to access a management interface on the switch from an
invalid address, the switch will reject the connection, enter an event
message in the system log, and send a trap message to the trap
manager.
• IP address can be configured for SNMP, web and Telnet access
respectively. Each of these groups can include up to five different sets
of addresses, either individual addresses or address ranges.
• When entering addresses for the same group (i.e., SNMP, web or
Telnet), the switch will not accept overlapping address ranges. When
entering addresses for different groups, the switch will accept
overlapping address ranges.
• You cannot delete an individual address from a specified range. You
must delete the entire range, and reenter the addresses.
• You can delete an address range just by specifying the start address, or
by specifying both the start address and end address.
Command Attributes
•Web IP Filter – Configures IP address(es) for the web group.

Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists (ACL) provide packet filtering for IP frames (based
on address, protocol, Layer 4 protocol port number or TCP control code)
or any frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type). To filter
incoming packets, first create an access list, add the required rules and then
bind the list to a specific port.
Configuring Access Control Lists
An ACL is a sequential list of permit or deny conditions that apply to IP
addresses, MAC addresses, or other more specific criteria. This switch tests
ingress or egress packets against the conditions in an ACL one by one. A
packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as
soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules match for a list of all permit
rules, the packet is dropped; and if no rules match for a list of all deny
rules, the packet is accepted.

• However, due to resource restrictions, the average number of rules
bound to the ports should not exceed 20.
• This switch supports ACLs for ingress filtering only. However, you can
only bind one IP ACL to any port and one MAC ACL globally for
ingress filtering. In other words, only two ACLs can be bound to an
interface - Ingress IP ACL and Ingress MAC ACL.
The order in which active ACLs are checked is as follows:
1. User-defined rules in the Ingress MAC ACL for ingress ports.
2. User-defined rules in the Ingress IP ACL for ingress ports.
3. Explicit default rule (permit any any) in the ingress IP ACL for ingress
ports.
4. Explicit default rule (permit any any) in the ingress MAC ACL for
ingress ports.
5. If no explicit rule is matched, the implicit default is permit all.

specify the capabilities to be advertised. When auto-negotiation is
disabled, you can force the settings for speed, mode, and flow
control.The following capabilities are supported.
- 10half - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation
- 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation

asymmetric pause frames. (The current switch chip only supports symmetric
pause frames.)
- FC - Supports flow control
Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end
stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its
buffers fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex
operation and IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation. (Avoid using
flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually
required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming
signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to
the hub.)

Creating Trunk Groups
You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual,
aggregate link. A port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for
network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a
fault-tolerant link between two devices. You can create up to four trunks at
a time.
The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). Static trunks have to be manually configured at
both ends of the link, and the switches must comply with the Cisco
EtherChannel standard. On the other hand, LACP configured ports can

automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on
another device. You can configure any number of ports on the switch as
LACP, as long as they are not already configured as part of a static trunk. If
ports on another device are also configured as LACP, the switch and the
other device will negotiate a trunk link between them. If an LACP trunk
consists of more than eight ports, all other ports will be placed in a standby
mode. Should one link in the trunk fail, one of the standby ports will
automatically be activated to replace it.
Command Usage
Besides balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the other ports
provide redundancy by taking over the load if a port in the trunk fails.
However, before making any physical connections between devices, use
the web interface or CLI to specify the trunk on the devices at both ends.
When using a port trunk, take note of the following points:
• Finish configuring port trunks before you connect the corresponding
network cables between switches to avoid creating a loop.
• You can create up to four trunks on a switch or stack, with up to eight
ports per trunk.
• The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as trunk
ports.
• When configuring static trunks on switches of different types, they
must be compatible with the Cisco EtherChannel standard.
• The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical
manner, including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and
flow control), VLAN assignments, and CoS settings.
• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved
from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN.
• STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk.

Statically Configuring a Trunk
Command Usage
• When configuring static trunks, you
may not be able to link switches of
different types, depending on the
manufacturer’s implementation.
However, note that the static trunks
on this switch are Cisco
EtherChannel compatible.
• To avoid creating a loop in the
network, be sure you add a static
trunk via the configuration interface
before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before
removing a static trunk via the configuration interface.

Setting Broadcast Storm Thresholds
Broadcast storms may occur when a device on your network is
malfunctioning, or if application programs are not well designed or
properly configured. If there is too much broadcast traffic on your
network, performance can be severely degraded or everything can come to
complete halt.
You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a
threshold for broadcast traffic. Any broadcast packets exceeding the
specified threshold will then be dropped.
Command Usage
• Broadcast Storm Control is enabled by default.
• Broadcast control does not effect IP multicast traffic.
• The specified threshold applies to all ports on the switch.
Command Attributes
•Port5 – Port number.
•Trunk6 – Trunk number.
• Type – Indicates the port type. (100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, or SFP)
•Threshold – Threshold as percentage of port bandwidth.
(Range: 64-95232000 octets per second; Default: 32000)
•Protect Status – Shows whether or not broadcast storm control has
been enabled. (Default: Enabled)

otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.
• All mirror sessions have to share the same destination port.
• When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the
same VLAN as the source port.

Configuring Rate Limits
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate
for traffic transmitted or received on a port. Rate limiting is configured on
ports at the edge of a network to limit traffic coming into or out of the
network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets
that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an
interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored
by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped,
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
Rate Limit Granularity
Rate limit granularity is an additional feature enabling the network manager
greater control over traffic on the network. The “rate limit granularity” is
multiplied by the “rate limit level” (page 3-114) to set the actual rate limit
for an interface. Granularity is a global setting that applies to Fast Ethernet
or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Command Usage
• For Fast Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit granularity can be set to
8 Kbps, 64 Kbps, 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 3.3 Mbps.
• For Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the rate limit granularity can be set to
32 Kbps, 64 Kbps, 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 3.3 Mbps, 10 Mbps, or

Spanning Tree Algorithm Configuration
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or
routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that
is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure
that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and
provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link
goes down.

The spanning tree algorithms supported by this switch include these
versions:
• STP – Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D)
• RSTP – Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w)
STA uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device
(STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root of the
spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging device
(except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when
forwarding a packet from that device to the root device. Then it selects a
designated bridging device from each LAN which incurs the lowest path
cost when forwarding a packet from that LAN to the root device. All ports
connected to designated bridging devices are assigned as designated ports.
After determining the lowest cost spanning tree, it enables all root ports
and designated ports, and disables all other ports. Network packets are
therefore only forwarded between root ports and designated ports,
eliminating any possible network loops.
Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for
Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the Root
Bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval
(Maximum Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the Root Bridge is
down. This bridge will then initiate negotiations with other bridges to
reconfigure the network to reestablish a valid network topology.
RSTP is designed as a general replacement for the slower, legacy STP.
RSTP achieves must faster reconfiguration (i.e., around 1 to 3 seconds,
compared to 30 seconds or more for STP) by reducing the number of state
changes before active ports start learning, predefining an alternate route

Displaying Global Settings
You can display a summary of the current bridge STA information that
applies to the entire switch using the STA Information screen.
Field Attributes
•Spanning Tree State – Shows if the switch is enabled to participate
in an STA-compliant network.
•Bridge ID – A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the
bridge priority and MAC address (where the address is taken from the
switch system).
•Max Age – The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
All device ports (except for designated ports) should receive
configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA
information (provided in the last configuration message) becomes the
designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root
port is selected from among the device ports attached to the network.
(References to “ports” in this section mean “interfaces,” which
includes both ports and trunks.)
•Hello Time – Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits
a configuration message.
•Forward Delay – The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will
wait before changing states (i.e., discarding to learning to forwarding).
This delay is required because every device must receive information
about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition,
each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would
make it return to a discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops
might result.

-Root Port – The number of the port on this switch that is closest to
the root. This switch communicates with the root device through
this port. If there is no root port, then this switch has been accepted
as the root device of the Spanning Tree network.
-Root Path Cost – The path cost from the root port on this switch
to the root device.
•Configuration Changes – The number of times the Spanning Tree

•Priority – Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port,
and designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the
STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the
device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
•Root Hello Time – Interval (in seconds) at which this device
transmits a configuration message.
•Root Maximum Age – The maximum time (in seconds) this device
can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting

Command Usage
• Spanning Tree Protocol8
Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D
BPDUs.
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol8
RSTP supports connections to either STP or RSTP nodes by
monitoring the incoming protocol messages and dynamically adjusting
the type of protocol messages the RSTP node transmits, as described
below:
- STP Mode – If the switch receives an 802.1D BPDU (i.e., STP
BPDU) after a port’s migration delay timer expires, the switch
assumes it is connected to an 802.1D bridge and starts using only
802.1D BPDUs.
- RSTP Mode – If RSTP is using 802.1D BPDUs on a port and
receives an RSTP BPDU after the migration delay expires, RSTP
restarts the migration delay timer and begins using RSTP BPDUs on
that port.
Command Attributes
Basic Configuration of Global Settings
•Spanning Tree State – Enables/disables STA on this switch.
(Default: Enabled)
•Spanning Tree Type – Specifies the type of spanning tree used on
this switch:
- STP: Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D); (i.e., when this
option is selected, the switch will use RSTP set to STP forced
compatibility mode).
- RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1w); RSTP is the default.

•Priority – Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port,
and designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the
STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the
device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
(Note that lower numeric values indicate higher priority.)

Root Device Configuration
•Hello Time – Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits
a configuration message.
-Default: 2
- Minimum: 1
- Maximum: The lower of 10 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) -1]
•Maximum Age – The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait
without receiving a configuration message before attempting to
reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should
receive configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port that ages
out STA information (provided in the last configuration message)
becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port,
a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached to the
network. (References to “ports” in this section mean “interfaces,”
which includes both ports and trunks.)
-Default: 20
- Minimum: The higher of 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)].
- Maximum: The lower of 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay - 1)]
C

•Forward Delay – The maximum time (in seconds) this device will wait
before changing states (i.e., discarding to learning to forwarding). This
delay is required because every device must receive information about
topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each
port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make
it return to a discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops might
result.
-Default: 15
- Minimum: The higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1]
-Maximum: 30
Configuration Settings for RSTP
•Path Cost Method – The path cost is used to determine the best path
between devices. The path cost method is used to determine the range
of values that can be assigned to each interface.
- Long: Specifies 32-bit based values that range from 1-200,000,000.
(This is the default.)
- Short: Specifies 16-bit based values that range from 1-65535.
•Transmission Limit – The maximum transmission rate for BPDUs
is specified by setting the minimum interval between the transmission
of consecutive protocol messages. (Range: 1-10; Default: 3)

Displaying Interface Settings
The STA Port Information and STA Trunk Information pages display the
current status of ports and trunks in the Spanning Tree.
Field Attributes
•Spanning Tree – Shows if STA has been enabled on this interface.
•STA Status – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning
Tree:
- Discarding - Port receives STA configuration messages, but does
not forward packets.
- Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an
interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving
contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the port
begins learning addresses.
- Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning
addresses.
The rules defining port status are:
- A port on a network segment with no other STA compliant bridging
device is always forwarding.
- If two ports of a switch are connected to the same segment and there
is no other STA device attached to this segment, the port with the
smaller ID forwards packets and the other is discarding.
- All ports are discarding when the switch is booted, then some of
them change state to learning, and then to forwarding.
•Forward Transitions – The number of times this port has
transitioned from the Learning state to the Forwarding state.
•Designated Cost – The cost for a packet to travel from this port to
the root in the current Spanning Tree configuration. The slower the
media, the higher the cost.
•Designated Bridge – The bridge priority and MAC address of the
device through which this port must communicate to reach the root of
the Spanning Tree.

•Designated Port – The port priority and number of the port on the
designated bridging device through which this switch must
communicate with the root of the Spanning Tree.
•Oper Link Type – The operational point-to-point status of the LAN
segment attached to this interface. This parameter is determined by
manual configuration or by auto-detection, as described for Admin
Link Type in STA Port Configuration on page 3-140.
•Oper Edge Port – This parameter is initialized to the setting for
Admin Edge Port in STA Port Configuration on page 3-140 (i.e., true
or false), but will be set to false if a BPDU is received, indicating that
another bridge is attached to this port.
•Port Role – Roles are assigned according to whether the port is part
of the active topology connecting the bridge to the root bridge (i.e.,
root port), connecting a LAN through the bridge to the root bridge
(i.e., designated port), or is an alternate or backup port that may
provide connectivity if other bridges, bridge ports, or LANs fail or are
removed. The role is set to disabled (i.e., disabled port) if a port has
no role within the spanning tree.
Alternate port receives more
useful BPDUs from another
bridge and is therefore not
selected as the designated
port.

These additional parameters are only displayed for the CLI:
•Admin status – Shows if this interface is enabled.
•Path cost – This parameter is used by the STA to determine the best
path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to
ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with
slower media. (Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)
•Priority – Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning Tree
Algorithm. If the path cost for all ports on a switch is the same, the
port with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as
an active link in the Spanning Tree. This makes a port with higher
priority less likely to be blocked if the Spanning Tree Algorithm is
detecting network loops. Where more than one port is assigned the
highest priority, the port with the lowest numeric identifier will be
enabled.
•Designated root – The priority and MAC address of the device in the
Spanning Tree that this switch has accepted as the root device.
•Fast forwarding – This field provides the same information as Admin
Edge port, and is only included for backward compatibility with earlier
products.
Backup port receives more
useful BPDUs from the same
bridge and is therefore not

•Admin Edge Port – You can enable this option if an interface is
attached to a LAN segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or to
an end node. Since end nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can
pass directly through to the spanning tree forwarding state. Specifying
Edge Ports provides quicker convergence for devices such as
workstations or servers, retains the current forwarding database to
reduce the amount of frame flooding required to rebuild address tables
during reconfiguration events, does not cause the spanning tree to
reconfigure when the interface changes state, and also overcomes
other STA-related timeout problems. However, remember that Edge
Port should only be enabled for ports connected to an end-node
device.
•Admin Link Type – The link type attached to this interface.
- Point-to-Point – A connection to exactly one other bridge.
- Shared – A connection to two or more bridges.
- Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is
attached to a point-to-point link or to shared media.

VLAN Configuration
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs
In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each
subnet into separate domains. This switch provides a similar service at
Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into
separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the
originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks.
This also provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.
An IEEE 802.1Q VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere
in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same
physical segment.

VLANs help to simplify network management by allowing you to move
devices to a new VLAN without having to change any physical
connections. VLANs can be easily organized to reflect departmental
groups (such as Marketing or R&D), usage groups (such as e-mail), or
multicast groups (used for multimedia applications such as
videoconferencing).
VLANs provide greater network efficiency by reducing broadcast traffic,
and allow you to make network changes without having to update IP
addresses or IP subnets. VLANs inherently provide a high level of network
security since traffic must pass through a configured Layer 3 link to reach a
different VLAN.
This switch supports the following VLAN features:
• Up to 255 VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard
• Distributed VLAN learning across multiple switches using explicit or
implicit tagging and GVRP protocol
• Port overlapping, allowing a port to participate in multiple VLANs
• End stations can belong to multiple VLANs
• Passing traffic between VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware devices
• Priority tagging
Assigning Ports to VLANs
Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to
the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are
assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you
want it to carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate
network devices or the host at the other end of the connection supports
VLANs. Then assign ports on the other VLAN-aware network devices
along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either
manually or dynamically using GVRP. However, if you want a port on this
switch to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate
network devices nor the host at the other end of the connection supports
VLANs, then you should add this port to the VLAN as an untagged port.
VLAN C
ONFIGURATION
3-145
Note: VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or
VLAN-unaware network interconnection devices, but the VLAN
tags should be stripped off before passing it on to any end-node
host that does not support VLAN tagging.
VLAN Classification – When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the
frame in one of two ways. If the frame is untagged, the switch assigns the
frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default VLAN ID of the
receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the switch uses the tagged
VLAN ID to identify the port broadcast domain of the frame.
Port Overlapping – Port overlapping can be used to allow access to
commonly shared network resources among different VLAN groups, such
as file servers or printers. Note that if you implement VLANs which do
not overlap, but still need to communicate, you can connect them by
enabled routing on this switch.
Untagged VLANs – Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to
reduce broadcast traffic and to increase security. A group of network users
assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other
VLANs configured on the switch. Packets are forwarded only between
ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs can be
used to manually isolate user groups or subnets. However, you should use
IEEE 802.3 tagged VLANs with GVRP whenever possible to fully
automate VLAN registration.

Automatic VLAN Registration – GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration
Protocol) defines a system whereby the switch can automatically learn the
VLANs to which each end station should be assigned. If an end station (or
its network adapter) supports the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN protocol, it can be
configured to broadcast a message to your network indicating the VLAN
groups it wants to join. When this switch receives these messages, it will
automatically place the receiving port in the specified VLANs, and then
forward the message to all other ports. When the message arrives at
another switch that supports GVRP, it will also place the receiving port in
the specified VLANs, and pass the message on to all other ports. VLAN
requirements are propagated in this way throughout the network. This
allows GVRP-compliant devices to be automatically configured for VLAN
groups based solely on endstation requests.
To implement GVRP in a network, first add the host devices to the
required VLANs (using the operating system or other application
software), so that these VLANs can be propagated onto the network. For
both the edge switches attached directly to these hosts, and core switches
in the network, enable GVRP on the links between these devices. You
should also determine security boundaries in the network and disable
GVRP on the boundary ports to prevent advertisements from being
propagated, or forbid those ports from joining restricted VLANs.
Note: If you have host devices that do not support GVRP, you should
configure static or untagged VLANs for the switch ports
connected to these devices (as described in “Adding Static
Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)” on page 3-153). But you can
still enable GVRP on these edge switches, as well as on the core
switches in the network.

ONFIGURATION
3-147
Forwarding Tagged/Untagged Frames
If you want to create a small port-based VLAN for devices attached
directly to a single switch, you can assign ports to the same untagged
VLAN. However, to participate in a VLAN group that crosses several
switches, you should create a VLAN for that group and enable tagging on
all ports.
Ports can be assigned to multiple tagged or untagged VLANs. Each port
on the switch is therefore capable of passing tagged or untagged frames.
When forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that contains any
VLAN-aware devices, the switch should include VLAN tags. When
forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that does not contain any
VLAN-aware devices (including the destination host), the switch must first
strip off the VLAN tag before forwarding the frame. When the switch
receives a tagged frame, it will pass this frame onto the VLAN(s) indicated
by the frame tag. However, when this switch receives an untagged frame
from a VLAN-unaware device, it first decides where to forward the frame,
and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the ingress port’s default VID.

Adding Static Members to VLANs (VLAN Index)
Use the VLAN Static Table to configure port members for the selected
VLAN index. Assign ports as tagged if they are connected to 802.1Q
VLAN compliant devices, or untagged they are not connected to any
VLAN-aware devices. Or configure a port as forbidden to prevent the
switch from automatically adding it to a VLAN via the GVRP protocol.
Notes: 1. You can also use the VLAN Static Membership by Port page
to configure VLAN groups based on the port index
(page 3-156). However, note that this configuration page can
only add ports to a VLAN as tagged members.
2. VLAN 1 is the default untagged VLAN containing all ports on
the switch, and can only be modified by first reassigning the
default port VLAN ID as described under “Configuring
VLAN Behavior for Interfaces” on page 3-157.
Command Attributes
•VLAN – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094).
•Name – Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).

- Tagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets
transmitted by the port will be tagged, that is, carry a tag and
therefore carry VLAN or CoS information.
- Untagged: Interface is a member of the VLAN. All packets
transmitted by the port will be untagged, that is, not carry a tag and
therefore not carry VLAN or CoS information. Note that an
interface must be assigned to at least one group as an untagged port.
- Forbidden: Interface is forbidden from automatically joining the
VLAN via GVRP. For more information, see “Automatic VLAN
Registration” on page 3-146.
- None: Interface is not a member of the VLAN. Packets associated
with this VLAN will not be transmitted by the interface.

Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces
You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces, including the
default VLAN identifier (PVID), accepted frame types, ingress filtering,
GVRP status, and GARP timers.
Command Usage
•GVRP – GARP VLAN Registration Protocol defines a way for
switches to exchange VLAN information in order to automatically
register VLAN members on interfaces across the network.
•GARP – Group Address Registration Protocol is used by GVRP to
register or deregister client attributes for client services within a
bridged LAN. The default values for the GARP timers are
independent of the media access method or data rate. These values
should not be changed unless you are experiencing difficulties with
GVRP registration/deregistration.
Command Attributes
•PVID – VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the
interface. (Default: 1)
If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to
this VLAN, the interface will automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an
untagged member. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be
configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to
that group.
•Acceptable Frame Type – Sets the interface to accept all frame types,
including tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames. When set
to receive all frame types, any received frames that are untagged are
assigned to the default VLAN. (Options: All, Tagged; Default: All)
•Ingress Filtering – Determines how to process frames tagged for
VLANs for which the ingress port is not a member.
(Default: Disabled)
C
ONFIGURING
THE
S
WITCH
3-158
- Ingress filtering only affects tagged frames.
- If ingress filtering is disabled and a port receives frames tagged for
VLANs for which it is not a member, these frames will be flooded
to all other ports (except for those VLANs explicitly forbidden on
this port).
- If ingress filtering is enabled and a port receives frames tagged for
VLANs for which it is not a member, these frames will be discarded.
- Ingress filtering does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames,
such as GVRP or STP. However, they do affect VLAN dependent
BPDU frames, such as GMRP.
•GVRP Status – Enables/disables GVRP for the interface. GVRP
must be globally enabled for the switch before this setting can take
effect. (See “Displaying Bridge Extension Capabilities” on page 3-15.)
When disabled, any GVRP packets received on this port will be
discarded and no GVRP registrations will be propagated from other
ports. (Default: Disabled)
•GARP Join Timer10 – The interval between transmitting requests/
queries to participate in a VLAN group.
(Range: 20-1000 centiseconds; Default: 20)
•GARP Leave Timer10 – The interval a port waits before leaving a
VLAN group. This time should be set to more than twice the join time.
This ensures that after a Leave or LeaveAll message has been issued,
the applicants can rejoin before the port actually leaves the group.
(Range: 60-3000 centiseconds; Default: 60)
•GARP LeaveAll Timer10 – The interval between sending out a
LeaveAll query message for VLAN group participants and the port
leaving the group. This interval should be considerably larger than the
Leave Time to minimize the amount of traffic generated by nodes
rejoining the group.
(Range: 500-18000 centiseconds; Default: 1000)
10. Timer settings must follow this rule: 2 x (join timer) < leave timer < leaveAll timer

•Mode – Indicates VLAN membership mode for an interface.
(Default: Hybrid)
- 1Q Trunk – Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk. A
trunk is a direct link between two switches, so the port transmits
tagged frames that identify the source VLAN. Note that frames
belonging to the port’s default VLAN (i.e., associated with the
PVID) are also transmitted as tagged frames.
- Hybrid – Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface. The port may transmit
tagged or untagged frames.
•Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a
trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static
Table page.

Private VLANs
Private VLANs provide port-based security and isolation between ports
within the assigned VLAN. This switch supports two types of private
VLANs: primary/secondary associated groups, and stand-alone isolated
VLANs. A primary VLAN contains promiscuous ports that can
communicate with all other ports in the private VLAN group, while a
secondary (or community) VLAN contains community ports that can
only communicate with other hosts within the secondary VLAN and with
any of the promiscuous ports in the associated primary VLAN. Isolated
VLANs, on the other hand, consist a single stand-alone VLAN that
contains one promiscuous port and one or more isolated (or host) ports.
In all cases, the promiscuous ports are designed to provide open access to
an external network such as the Internet, while the community or isolated
ports provide restricted access to local users.
Multiple primary VLANs can be configured on this switch, and multiple
community VLANs can be associated with each primary VLAN. One or
more isolated VLANs can also be configured. (Note that private VLANs
and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same switch.)
To configure primary/secondary associated groups, follow these steps:
1. Use the Private VLAN Configuration menu (page 3-163) to designate
one or more community VLANs, and the primary VLAN that will
channel traffic outside of the VLAN groups.

the port type to promiscuous (i.e., having access to all ports in the
primary VLAN), or host (i.e., having access restricted to community
VLAN members, and channeling all other traffic through promiscuous
ports). Then assign any promiscuous ports to a primary VLAN and
any host ports a community VLAN.
To configure an isolated VLAN, follow these steps:
1. Use the Private VLAN Configuration menu (page 3-163) to designate
an isolated VLAN that will channel all traffic through a single
promiscuous port.
2. Use the Private VLAN Port Configuration menu (page 3-166) to set
the port type to promiscuous (i.e., the single channel to the external
network), or isolated (i.e., having access only to the promiscuous port
in its own VLAN). Then assign the promiscuous port and all host
ports to an isolated VLAN.

Class of Service Configuration
Class of Service (CoS) allows you to specify which data packets have
greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due to
congestion. This switch supports CoS with four priority queues for each
port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before
those in the lower-priority queues. You can set the default priority for each
interface, and configure the mapping of frame priority tags to the switch’s
priority queues.
Layer 2 Queue Settings
Setting the Default Priority for Interfaces
You can specify the default port priority for each interface on the switch.
All untagged packets entering the switch are tagged with the specified
default port priority, and then sorted into the appropriate priority queue at
the output port.
Command Usage
• This switch provides four priority queues for each port. It uses
Weighted Round Robin to prevent head-of-queue blockage.
• The default priority applies for an untagged frame received on a port
set to accept all frame types (i.e, receives both untagged and tagged
frames). This priority does not apply to IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged
frames. If the incoming frame is an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged
frame, the IEEE 802.1p User Priority bits will be used.
• If the output port is an untagged member of the associated VLAN,
these frames are stripped of all VLAN tags prior to transmission.

Mapping CoS Values to Egress Queues
This switch processes Class of Service (CoS) priority tagged traffic by
using four priority queues for each port, with service schedules based on
strict or Weighted Round Robin (WRR). Up to eight separate traffic
priorities are defined in IEEE 802.1p. The default priority levels are
assigned according to recommendations in the IEEE 802.1p standard as
shown in the following table.
The priority levels recommended in the IEEE 802.1p standard for various
network applications are shown in the following table. However, you can

Selecting the Queue Mode
You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that
requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before lower
priority queues are serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR)
queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR uses a
predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage
of service time the switch services each queue before moving on to the
next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking that can occur with
strict priority queuing.
Command Attributes
•WRR - Weighted Round-Robin shares bandwidth at the egress ports
by using scheduling weights 1, 2, 4, 6 for queues 0 through 3
respectively. (This is the default selection.)
•Strict - Services the egress queues in sequential order, transmitting all
traffic in the higher priority queues before servicing lower priority
queues.

Setting the Service Weight for Traffic Classes
This switch uses the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm to
determine the frequency at which it services each priority queue. As
described in “Mapping CoS Values to Egress Queues” on page 3-171, the
traffic classes are mapped to one of the four egress queues provided for
each port. You can assign a weight to each of these queues (and thereby to
the corresponding traffic priorities). This weight sets the frequency at
which each queue will be polled for service, and subsequently affects the
response time for software applications assigned a specific priority value.
Command Attributes

(i.e., queue).

(ToS) octet or the number of the TCP port. If priority bits are used, the
ToS octet may contain three bits for IP Precedence or six bits for
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) service. When these services
are enabled, the priorities are mapped to a Class of Service value by the
switch, and the traffic then sent to the corresponding output queue.
Because different priority information may be contained in the traffic, this
switch maps priority values to the output queues in the following manner:
• The precedence for priority mapping is IP Port Priority, IP Precedence
or DSCP Priority, and then Default Port Priority.
• IP Precedence and DSCP Priority cannot both be enabled. Enabling
one of these priority types will automatically disable the other.

Mapping IP Precedence
The Type of Service (ToS) octet in the IPv4 header includes three
precedence bits defining eight different priority levels ranging from highest
priority for network control packets to lowest priority for routine traffic.
The default IP Precedence values are mapped one-to-one to Class of
Service values (i.e., Precedence value 0 maps to CoS value 0, and so forth).
Bits 6 and 7 are used for network control, and the other bits for various
application types. ToS bits are defined in the following table.

Multicast Filtering
Multicasting is used to support real-time
applications such as videoconferencing
or streaming audio. A multicast server
does not have to establish a separate
connection with each client. It merely
broadcasts its service to the network, and
any hosts that want to receive the
multicast register with their local
multicast switch/router. Although this
approach reduces the network overhead
required by a multicast server, the
broadcast traffic must be carefully
pruned at every multicast switch/router it
passes through to ensure that traffic is
only passed on to the hosts which
subscribed to this service.
This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to query
for any attached hosts that want to receive a specific multicast service. It
identifies the ports containing hosts requesting to join the service and
sends data out to those ports only. It then propagates the service request
up to any neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will
continue to receive the multicast service. This procedure is called multicast
filtering.
The purpose of IP multicast filtering is to optimize a switched network’s
performance, so multicast packets will only be forwarded to those ports
containing multicast group hosts or multicast routers/switches, instead of
flooding traffic to all ports in the subnet (VLAN).

Layer 2 IGMP (Snooping and Query)
IGMP Snooping and Query – If multicast routing is not supported on
other switches in your network, you can use IGMP Snooping and Query
(page 3-185) to monitor IGMP service requests passing between multicast
clients and servers, and dynamically configure the switch ports which need
to forward multicast traffic.
Static IGMP Router Interface – If IGMP snooping cannot locate the
IGMP querier, you can manually designate a known IGMP querier (i.e., a
multicast router/switch) connected over the network to an interface on
your switch (page 3-189). This interface will then join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router/switch to ensure that
multicast traffic is passed to all appropriate interfaces within the switch.
Static IGMP Host Interface – For multicast applications that you need to
control more carefully, you can manually assign a multicast service to
specific interfaces on the switch (page 3-192).
Configuring IGMP Snooping and Query Parameters
You can configure the switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently.
Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic
only to the ports that request multicast traffic. This prevents the switch
from broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly disrupting network
performance.
Command Usage
•IGMP Snooping – This switch can passively snoop on IGMP Query
and Report packets transferred between IP multicast routers/switches
and IP multicast host groups to identify the IP multicast group
members. It simply monitors the IGMP packets passing through it,
picks out the group registration information, and configures the
multicast filters accordingly.
•IGMP Querier – A router, or multicast-enabled switch, can
periodically ask their hosts if they want to receive multicast traffic. If
there is more than one router/switch on the LAN performing IP
C
ONFIGURING
THE
S
WITCH
3-186
multicasting, one of these devices is elected “querier” and assumes the
role of querying the LAN for group members. It then propagates the
service requests on to any upstream multicast switch/router to ensure
that it will continue to receive the multicast service.
Note: Multicast routers use this information, along with a multicast
routing protocol such as DVMRP or PIM, to support IP
multicasting across the Internet.
Command Attributes
•IGMP Status — When enabled, the switch will monitor network
traffic to determine which hosts want to receive multicast traffic. This
is also referred to as IGMP Snooping. (Default: Enabled)
•Act as IGMP Querier — When enabled, the switch can serve as the
Querier, which is responsible for asking hosts if they want to receive
multicast traffic. (Default: Enabled)
•IGMP Query Count — Sets the maximum number of queries issued
for which there has been no response before the switch takes action to
drop a client from the multicast group. (Range: 2-10; Default: 2)
•IGMP Query Interval — Sets the frequency at which the switch
sends IGMP host-query messages. (Range: 60-125 seconds; Default:
125)
•IGMP Report Delay — Sets the time between receiving an IGMP
Report for an IP multicast address on a port before the switch sends
an IGMP Query out of that port and removes the entry from its list.
(Range: 5-25 seconds; Default: 10)
• IGMP Query Timeout — The time the switch waits after the
previous querier stops before it considers the router port (i.e., the
interface which had been receiving query packets) to have expired.
(Range: 300-500 seconds; Default: 300)
•IGMP Version — Sets the protocol version for compatibility with
other devices on the network. (Range: 1-2; Default: 2)

Displaying Interfaces Attached to a Multicast Router
Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the switch use information
obtained from IGMP, along with a multicast routing protocol such as
DVMRP or PIM, to support IP multicasting across the Internet. These
routers may be dynamically discovered by the switch or statically assigned
to an interface on the switch.
You can use the Multicast Router Port Information page to display the
ports on this switch attached to a neighboring multicast router/switch for
each VLAN ID.

Specifying Static Interfaces for a Multicast Router
Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always
be able to locate the IGMP querier. Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a
known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an
interface (port or trunk) on your switch, you can manually configure the
interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current multicast groups
supported by the attached router. This can ensure that multicast traffic is
passed to all the appropriate interfaces within the switch.

•VLAN ID – Selects the VLAN to propagate all multicast traffic
coming from the attached multicast router.
•Unit – Stack unit.

require tighter control, you may need to statically configure a multicast
service on the switch. First add all the ports attached to participating hosts
to a common VLAN, and then assign the multicast service to that VLAN
group.

This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Note: You can only access the console interface through the Master unit
in the stack.
Using the Command Line Interface
Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct
connection to the server’s console port, or via a Telnet connection, the
switch can be managed by entering command keywords and parameters at
the prompt. Using the switch's command-line interface (CLI) is very
similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
Console Connection
To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default
user names are “admin” and “guest” with corresponding passwords of
“admin” and “guest.”) When the administrator user name and
password is entered, the CLI displays the “Console#” prompt and
enters privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec). But when the
guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the
“Console>” prompt and enters normal access mode (i.e., Normal
Exec).
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.

3. When finished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen
displays:
Telnet Connection
Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment, your
management station and any network device you want to manage over the
network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Each address consists of a
network portion and host portion. For example, the IP address assigned to
this switch, 10.1.0.1, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, consists of a
network portion (10.1.0) and a host portion (1).
Note: The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default.
To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP
address for the Master unit, and set the default gateway if you are
managing the switch from a different IP subnet. For example,
If your corporate network is connected to another network outside your
office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP address.
However, if you are attached to an isolated network, then you can use any
IP address that matches the network segment to which you are attached.

display the “Vty-n#” prompt for the administrator to show that you are
using privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec), or “Vty-n>” for the
guest to show that you are using normal access mode (i.e., Normal

Entering Commands
This section describes how to enter CLI commands.
Keywords and Arguments
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify
a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For
example, in the command “show interfaces status ethernet 1/5,” show
interfaces and status are keywords, ethernet is an argument that specifies
the interface type, and 1/5 specifies the unit/port.
You can enter commands as follows:
• To enter a simple command, enter the command keyword.
• To enter multiple commands, enter each command in the required
order. For example, to enable Privileged Exec command mode, and
display the startup configuration, enter:
Console>enable
Console#show startup-config
• To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required
parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a
password for the administrator, enter:
Console(config)#username admin password 0 smith
Minimum Abbreviation
The CLI will accept a minimum number of characters that uniquely
identify a command. For example, the command “configure” can be
entered as con. If an entry is ambiguous, the system will prompt for
further input.

Partial Keyword Lookup
If you terminate a partial keyword with a question mark, alternatives that
match the initial letters are provided. (Remember not to leave a space
between the command and question mark.) For example “s?” shows all the
keywords starting with “s.”
Negating the Effect of Commands
For many configuration commands you can enter the prefix keyword “no”
to cancel the effect of a command or reset the configuration to the default
value. For example, the logging command will log system messages to a
host server. To disable logging, specify the no logging command. This
guide describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.
Using Command History
The CLI maintains a history of commands that have been entered. You
can scroll back through the history of commands by pressing the up arrow
key. Any command displayed in the history list can be executed again, or
first modified and then executed.
Using the show history command displays a longer list of recently
executed commands.

Understanding Command Modes
The command set is divided into Exec and Configuration classes. Exec
commands generally display information on system status or clear
statistical counters. Configuration commands, on the other hand, modify
interface parameters or enable certain switching functions. These classes
are further divided into different modes. Available commands depend on
the selected mode. You can always enter a question mark “?” at the prompt
to display a list of the commands available for the current mode. The
command classes and associated modes are displayed in the following
table:
Exec Commands
When you open a new console session on the switch with the user name
and password “guest,” the system enters the Normal Exec command
mode (or guest mode), displaying the “Console>” command prompt.
Only a limited number of the commands are available in this mode. You
can access all commands only from the Privileged Exec command mode
(or administrator mode). To access Privilege Exec mode, open a new
console session with the user name and password “admin.” The system
will now display the “Console#” command prompt. You can also enter

Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are privileged level commands used to modify
switch settings. These commands modify the running configuration only
and are not saved when the switch is rebooted. To store the running
configuration in non-volatile storage, use the copy running-config
startup-config command.
The configuration commands are organized into different modes:
• Global Configuration - These commands modify the system level
configuration, and include commands such as hostname and
snmp-server community.
• Access Control List Configuration - These commands are used for
packet filtering.
• Interface Configuration - These commands modify the port
configuration such as speed-duplex and negotiation.

To enter the Global Configuration mode, enter the command configure
in Privileged Exec mode. The system prompt will change to
“Console(config)#” which gives you access privilege to all Global
Configuration commands.
To enter the other modes, at the configuration prompt type one of the
following commands. Use the exit or end command to return to the
Privileged Exec mode.

Command Line Processing
Commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and
parameters as long as they contain enough letters to differentiate them
from any other currently available commands or parameters. You can use
the Tab key to complete partial commands, or enter a partial command
followed by the “?” character to display a list of possible matches. You can
also use the following editing keystrokes for command-line processing:
Table 4-3 Command Line Processing
Keystroke Function
Ctrl-A Shifts cursor to start of command line.
Ctrl-B Shifts cursor to the left one character.
Ctrl-C Terminates the current task and displays the

Command Usage
• There are three authentication modes provided by the switch itself at
login:
•login selects authentication by a single global password as specified
by the password line configuration command. When using this
method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE)
mode.
•login local selects authentication via the user name and password
specified by the username command (i.e., default setting). When
using this method, the management interface starts in Normal Exec
(NE) or Privileged Exec (PE) mode, depending on the user’s
privilege level (0 or 15 respectively).
•no login selects no authentication. When using this method, the
management interface starts in Normal Exec (NE) mode.
• This command controls login authentication via the switch itself. To
configure user names and passwords for remote authentication
servers, you must use the RADIUS or TACACS software installed on

Secure Shell Commands
The Berkley-standard includes remote access tools originally designed for
Unix systems. Some of these tools have also been implemented for
Microsoft Windows and other environments. These tools, including
commands such as rlogin (remote login), rsh (remote shell), and rcp (remote
copy), are not secure from hostile attacks.
The Secure Shell (SSH) includes server/client applications intended as a
secure replacement for the older Berkley remote access tools. SSH can also
provide remote management access to this switch as a secure replacement
for Telnet. When a client contacts the switch via the SSH protocol, the
switch uses a public-key that the client must match along with a local user
name and password for access authentication. SSH also encrypts all data
transfers passing between the switch and SSH-enabled management
station clients, and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives
unaltered.
This section describes the commands used to configure the SSH server.
However, note that you also need to install a SSH client on the
management station when using this protocol to configure the switch.
Note: The switch supports both SSH Version 1.5 and 2.0.

The SSH server on this switch supports both password and public key
authentication. If password authentication is specified by the SSH client,
then the password can be authenticated either locally or via a RADIUS or
TACACS+ remote authentication server, as specified by the
authentication login command on page 4-94. If public key
authentication is specified by the client, then you must configure
authentication keys on both the client and the switch as described in the
following section. Note that regardless of whether you use public key or
password authentication, you still have to generate authentication keys on
the switch and enable the SSH server.
To use the SSH server, complete these steps:
1. Generate a Host Key Pair – Use the ip ssh crypto host-key generate
command to create a host public/private key pair.

2. Provide Host Public Key to Clients – Many SSH client programs
automatically import the host public key during the initial connection
setup with the switch. Otherwise, you need to manually create a known
hosts file on the management station and place the host public key in it.
An entry for a public key in the known hosts file would appear similar
to the following example:
10.1.0.54 1024 35 15684995401867669259333946775054617325313674890836547254

1752646358058176716709574804776117
3. Import Client’s Public Key to the Switch – Use the copy tftp
public-key command to copy a file containing the public key for all the
SSH client’s granted management access to the switch. (Note that these
clients must be configured locally on the switch via the User Accounts
page as described on page 3-48.) The clients are subsequently
authenticated using these keys. The current firmware only accepts
public key files based on standard UNIX format as shown in the
following example for an RSA Version 1 key:
1024 35 1341081685609893921040944920155425347631641921872958921143173880

4. Set the Optional Parameters – Set other optional parameters, including
the authentication timeout, the number of retries, and the server key
size.
5. Enable SSH Service – Use the ip ssh server command to enable the
SSH server on the switch.
6. Configure Challenge-Response Authentication – When an SSH client
attempts to contact the switch, the SSH server uses the host key pair to
negotiate a session key and encryption method. Only clients that have a
private key corresponding to the public keys stored on the switch can
gain access. The following exchanges take place during this process:
S
YSTEM
M
ANAGEMENT
C
OMMANDS
4-49
a. The client sends its public key to the switch.
b. The switch compares the client's public key to those stored in memory.
c. If a match is found, the switch uses the public key to encrypt a random
sequence of bytes, and sends this string to the client.
d. The client uses its private key to decrypt the bytes, and sends the
decrypted bytes back to the switch.
e. The switch compares the decrypted bytes to the original bytes it sent. If
the two sets match, this means that the client's private key corresponds
to an authorized public key, and the client is authenticated.
Note: To use SSH with only password authentication, the host public key
must still be given to the client, either during initial connection or
manually entered into the known host file. However, you do not
need to configure the client’s keys.

messages for event handling.
Default Setting
None
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• You can specify up to three SMTP servers for event handing.
However, you must enter a separate command to specify each server.
• To send email alerts, the switch first opens a connection, sends all the
email alerts waiting in the queue one by one, and finally closes the
connection.
• To open a connection, the switch first selects the server that
successfully sent mail during the last connection, or the first server
configured by this command. If it fails to send mail, the switch selects
the next server in the list and tries to send mail again. If it still fails, the
system will repeat the process at a periodic interval. (A trap will be
triggered if the switch cannot successfully open a connection.)

Command Usage
• This switch provides more efficient throughput for large sequential
data transfers by supporting jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes.
Compared to standard Ethernet frames that run only up to 1.5 KB,
using jumbo frames significantly reduces the per-packet overhead
required to process protocol encapsulation fields.
• To use jumbo frames, both the source and destination end nodes
(such as a computer or server) must support this feature. Also, when
the connection is operating at full duplex, all switches in the network
between the two end nodes must be able to accept the extended frame
size. And for half-duplex connections, all devices in the collision
domain would need to support jumbo frames.
• Enabling jumbo frames will limit the maximum threshold for
broadcast storm control to 64 packets per second. (See the switchport
broadcast command on page 4-149.)
• The current setting for jumbo frames can be disabled with the show
system command (page 4-82).

“.”, “-”, “_”)
• Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only
two operation code files.
• The maximum number of user-defined configuration files depends on
available memory.
• You can use “Factory_Default_Config.cfg” as the source to copy
from the factory default configuration file, but you cannot use it as the
destination.
• To replace the startup configuration, you must use startup-config as
the destination.
•Use the copy file unit command to copy a local file to another switch
in the stack. Use the copy unit file command to copy a file from
another switch in the stack.
• The Boot ROM and Loader cannot be uploaded or downloaded from
the TFTP server. You must follow the instructions in the release notes
for new firmware, or contact your distributor for help.
• For information on specifying an https-certificate, see See “Replacing

Command Usage
• RADIUS uses UDP while TACACS+ uses TCP. UDP only offers best
effort delivery, while TCP offers a connection-oriented transport.
Also, note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the
access-request packet from the client to the server, while TACACS+
encrypts the entire body of the packet.
• RADIUS and TACACS+ logon authentication assigns a specific
privilege level for each user name and password pair. The user name,
password, and privilege level must be configured on the authentication
server.
• You can specify three authentication methods in a single command to
indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you enter
“authentication login radius tacacs local,” the user name and
password on the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS
server is not available, then authentication is attempted on the
TACACS+ server. If the TACACS+ server is not available, the local
user name and password is checked.

Port Security Commands
These commands can be used to enable port security on a port. When
using port security, the switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the
specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number. Only
incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic or
static address table for this port will be authorized to access the network.
The port will drop any incoming frames with a source MAC address that is
unknown or has been previously learned from another port. If a device
with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the
intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take action by
disabling the port and sending a trap message.

without any keywords to disable port security. Use the no form with the
appropriate keyword to restore the default settings for a response to
security violation or for the maximum number of allowed addresses.

Command Usage
• If you enable port security, the switch stops learning new MAC
addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured
maximum number. Only incoming traffic with source addresses
already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted.
• First use the port security max-mac-count command to set the
number of addresses, and then use the port security command to
enable security on the port.
•Use the no port security max-mac-count command to disable port
security and reset the maximum number of addresses to the default.
• You can also manually add secure addresses with the
mac-address-table static command.
• A secure port has the following restrictions:
- Cannot use port monitoring.
- Cannot be a multi-VLAN port.
- Cannot be connected to a network interconnection device.
- Cannot be a trunk port.
• If a port is disabled due to a security violation, it must be manually
re-enabled using the no shutdown command.
Example
The following example enables port security for port 5, and sets the
response to a security violation to issue a trap message:

802.1X Port Authentication
The switch supports IEEE 802.1X (dot1x) port-based access control that
prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring users to first
submit credentials for authentication. Client authentication is controlled
centrally by a RADIUS server using EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol).

• In “multi-host” mode, only one host connected to a port needs to pass
authentication for all other hosts to be granted network access.
Similarly, a port can become unauthorized for all hosts if one attached
host fails re-authentication or sends an EAPOL logoff message.

Access Control List Commands
Access Control Lists (ACL) provide packet filtering for IP frames (based
on address, protocol, Layer 4 protocol port number or TCP control code)
or any frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type). To filter packets,
first create an access list, add the required rules and then bind the list to a
specific port.
Access Control Lists
An ACL is a sequential list of permit or deny conditions that apply to IP
addresses, MAC addresses, or other more specific criteria. This switch tests
ingress or egress packets against the conditions in an ACL one by one. A
packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as
soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules match for a list of all permit
rules, the packet is dropped; and if no rules match for a list of all deny
rules, the packet is accepted.
There are three filtering modes:
• Standard IP ACL mode (STD-ACL) filters packets based on the source
IP address.
• Extended IP ACL mode (EXT-ACL) filters packets based on source
or destination IP address, as well as protocol type and protocol port
number. If the TCP protocol is specified, then you can also filter
packets based on the TCP control code.
• MAC ACL mode (MAC-ACL) filters packets based on the source or
destination MAC address and the Ethernet frame type (RFC 1060).
The following restrictions apply to ACLs:
• Each ACL can have up to 32 rules.
• The maximum number of ACLs is 88.
• However, due to resource restrictions, the average number of rules
bound the ports should not exceed 20.

• This switch supports ACLs for ingress filtering only. You can only
bind one IP ACL to any port and one MAC ACL globally for ingress
filtering. In other words, only two ACLs can be bound to an
interface - Ingress IP ACL and Ingress MAC ACL.
The order in which active ACLs are checked is as follows:
1. User-defined rules in the Ingress MAC ACL for ingress ports.
2. User-defined rules in the Ingress IP ACL for ingress ports.
3. Explicit default rule (permit any any) in the ingress IP ACL for ingress
ports.
4. Explicit default rule (permit any any) in the ingress MAC ACL for
ingress ports.
5. If no explicit rule is matched, the implicit default is permit all.

bitmask is bitwise ANDed with the specified source IP address, and
then compared with the address for each IP packet entering the port(s)
to which this ACL has been assigned.
Example
This example configures one permit rule for the specific address 10.1.1.21
and another rule for the address range 168.92.16.x – 168.92.31.x using a

• The control-code bitmask is a decimal number (representing an
equivalent bit mask) that is applied to the control code. Enter a
decimal number, where the equivalent binary bit “1” means to match
a bit and “0” means to ignore a bit. The following bits may be
specified:
1 (fin) – Finish
2 (syn) – Synchronize
4 (rst) – Reset
8 (psh) – Push
16 (ack) – Acknowledgement
32 (urg) – Urgent pointer
For example, use the code value and mask below to catch packets with
the following flags set:
SYN flag valid, use “control-code 2 2”
Both SYN and ACK valid, use “control-code 18 18”
SYN valid and ACK invalid, use “control-code 2 18”
Example
This example accepts any incoming packets if the source address is within
subnet 10.7.1.x. For example, if the rule is matched; i.e., the rule (10.7.1.0
& 255.255.255.0) equals the masked address (10.7.1.2 & 255.255.255.0),
the packet passes through.
This allows TCP packets from class C addresses 192.168.1.0 to any
destination address when set for destination TCP port 80 (i.e., HTTP).
This permits all TCP packets from class C addresses 192.168.1.0 with the
TCP control code set to “SYN.”

Command Usage
• Flow control can eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end
stations or segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers
fill. When enabled, back pressure is used for half-duplex operation and
IEEE 802.3x for full-duplex operation.
• To force flow control on or off (with the flowcontrol or no
flowcontrol command), use the no negotiation command to disable
auto-negotiation on the selected interface.
• When using the negotiation command to enable auto-negotiation,
the optimal settings will be determined by the capabilities command.
To enable flow control under auto-negotiation, “flowcontrol” must
be included in the capabilities list for any port
• Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is
actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure
jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment
attached to the hub.
Example
The following example enables flow control on port 5.

Rate Limit Commands
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate
for traffic transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is
configured on interfaces at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out
of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while
packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an
interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored
by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped,
conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
Note: The “rate limit granularity” is multiplied by the “rate limit”
(page 4-159) to set the actual rate limit for an interface. Granularity
is a global setting that applies to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces.

Link Aggregation Commands
Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (i.e., trunk) to
increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault
recovery. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
to automatically negotiate a trunk link between this switch and another
network device. For static trunks, the switches have to comply with the
Cisco EtherChannel standard. For dynamic trunks, the switches have to
comply with LACP. This switch supports up to four trunks. For example, a
trunk consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate
bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex.

Guidelines for Creating Trunks
General Guidelines –
• Finish configuring port trunks before you connect the corresponding
network cables between switches to avoid creating a loop.
• A trunk can have up to eight ports.
• The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as trunk
ports.
• All ports in a trunk must be configured in an identical manner,
including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and flow
control), VLAN assignments, and CoS settings.

• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved
from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN via the specified
port-channel.
• STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk
via the specified port-channel.
Dynamically Creating a Port Channel –
Ports assigned to a common port channel must meet the
following criteria:
• Ports must have the same LACP system priority.
• Ports must have the same port admin key (Ethernet Interface).
• If the port channel admin key (lacp admin key - Port Channel) is not
set when a channel group is formed (i.e., it has the null value of 0), this
key is set to the same value as the port admin key (lacp admin key -
Ethernet Interface) used by the interfaces that joined the group.
• However, if the port channel admin key is set, then the port admin key
must be set to the same value for a port to be allowed to join a channel
group.
• If a link goes down, LACP port priority is used to select the backup
link.

• If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the
trunk will be activated automatically.
• If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have
LACP enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode,
and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.

Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges
or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging
devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your
network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations
on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over
when a primary link goes down.

This example shows how to enable the Spanning Tree Algorithm for the
switch:

Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• Spanning Tree Protocol
Uses RSTP for the internal state machine, but sends only 802.1D
BPDUs.
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
RSTP supports connections to either STP or RSTP nodes by
monitoring the incoming protocol messages and dynamically
adjusting the type of protocol messages the RSTP node transmits, as
described below:
- STP Mode – If the switch receives an 802.1D BPDU after a port’s
migration delay timer expires, the switch assumes it is connected
to an 802.1D bridge and starts using only 802.1D BPDUs.
- RSTP Mode – If RSTP is using 802.1D BPDUs on a port and
receives an RSTP BPDU after the migration delay expires, RSTP
restarts the migration delay timer and begins using RSTP BPDUs
on that port.

seconds - Time in seconds. (Range: 4 - 30 seconds)
The minimum value is the higher of 4 or [(max-age / 2) +1].
Default Setting
15 seconds
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will
wait before changing states (i.e., discarding to learning to forwarding).
This delay is required because every device must receive information
about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition,
each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would
make it return to the discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops
might result.

Command Usage
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• You can enable this option if an interface is attached to a LAN
segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or to an end node. Since
end nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can pass directly
through to the spanning tree forwarding state. Specifying Edge Ports
provides quicker convergence for devices such as workstations or
servers, retains the current forwarding database to reduce the amount
of frame flooding required to rebuild address tables during
reconfiguration events, does not cause the spanning tree to initiate
reconfiguration when the interface changes state, and also overcomes
other STA-related timeout problems. However, remember that Edge
Port should only be enabled for ports connected to an end-node
device.
• This command has the same effect as the spanning-tree portfast.

Command Usage
• This command is used to enable/disable the fast spanning-tree mode
for the selected port. In this mode, ports skip the Discarding and
Learning states, and proceed straight to Forwarding.
• Since end-nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can be passed
through the spanning tree state changes more quickly than allowed by
standard convergence time. Fast forwarding can achieve quicker
convergence for end-node workstations and servers, and also
overcome other STA related timeout problems. (Remember that fast
forwarding should only be enabled for ports connected to a LAN
segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or for an end-node
device.)
• This command is the same as spanning-tree edge-port, and is only
included for backward compatibility with earlier products. Note that
this command may be removed for future software versions.

Command Usage
• Specify a point-to-point link if the interface can only be connected to
exactly one other bridge, or a shared link if it can be connected to two
or more bridges.
• When automatic detection is selected, the switch derives the link type
from the duplex mode. A full-duplex interface is considered a
point-to-point link, while a half-duplex interface is assumed to be on
a shared link.
• RSTP only works on point-to-point links between two bridges. If you
designate a port as a shared link, RSTP is forbidden.

VLAN Commands
A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network,
but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment.
This section describes commands used to create VLAN groups, add port
members, specify how VLAN tagging is used, and enable automatic
VLAN registration for the selected interface.

This command configures the VLAN membership mode for a port. Use
the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
switchport mode {trunk | hybrid | private-vlan}
no switchport mode
•trunk - Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk. A trunk
is a direct link between two switches, so the port transmits tagged
frames that identify the source VLAN. Note that frames belonging
to the port’s default VLAN (i.e., associated with the PVID) are
also transmitted as tagged frames.
•hybrid - Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface. The port may
transmit tagged or untagged frames.
•private-vlan - For an explanation of this command see
“switchport mode private-vlan” on page 4-211.
Default Setting
All ports are in hybrid mode with the PVID set to VLAN 1.

Command Usage
• Ingress filtering only affects tagged frames.
• If ingress filtering is disabled and a port receives frames tagged for
VLANs for which it is not a member, these frames will be flooded to
all other ports (except for those VLANs explicitly forbidden on this
port).
• If ingress filtering is enabled and a port receives frames tagged for
VLANs for which it is not a member, these frames will be discarded.
• Ingress filtering does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames,
such as GVRP or STA. However, they do affect VLAN dependent
BPDU frames, such as GMRP.

Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID
to this VLAN, the interface will automatically be added to VLAN 1 as
an untagged member. For all other VLANs, an interface must first be
configured as an untagged member before you can assign its PVID to
that group.
• If acceptable frame types is set to all or switchport mode is set to
hybrid, the PVID will be inserted into all untagged frames entering
the ingress port.

•add vlan-list - List of VLAN identifiers to add.
•remove vlan-list - List of VLAN identifiers to remove.
•vlan-list - Separate nonconsecutive VLAN identifiers with a comma
and no spaces; use a hyphen to designate a range of IDs. Do not
enter leading zeros. (Range: 1-4094).
Default Setting
• All ports are assigned to VLAN 1 by default
• The default frame type is untagged.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• A port, or a trunk with switchport mode set to hybrid, must be
assigned to at least one VLAN as untagged.
• If a trunk has switchport mode set to trunk (i.e., 1Q Trunk), then you
can only assign an interface to VLAN groups as a tagged member.
• Frames are always tagged within the switch. The tagged/untagged
parameter used when adding a VLAN to an interface tells the switch
whether to keep or remove the tag from a frame on egress.
• If none of the intermediate network devices nor the host at the other
end of the connection supports VLANs, the interface should be
added to these VLANs as an untagged member. Otherwise, it is only
necessary to add at most one VLAN as untagged, and this should
correspond to the native VLAN for the interface.

Configuring Private VLANs
Private VLANs provide port-based security and isolation between ports
within the assigned VLAN. This switch supports two types of private
VLANs: primary/secondary associated groups, and stand-alone isolated
VLANs. A primary VLAN contains promiscuous ports that can
communicate with all other ports in the private VLAN group, while a
secondary (or community) VLAN contains community ports that can
only communicate with other hosts within the secondary VLAN and with
any of the promiscuous ports in the associated primary VLAN. Isolated
VLANs, on the other hand, consist a single stand-alone VLAN that
contains one promiscuous port and one or more isolated (or host) ports.
In all cases, the promiscuous ports are designed to provide open access to
an external network such as the Internet, while the community or isolated
ports provide restricted access to local users.
Multiple primary VLANs can be configured on this switch, and multiple
community VLANs can be associated with each primary VLAN. One or
more isolated VLANs can also be configured. (Note that private VLANs
and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same switch.)

This section describes commands used to configure private VLANs.
To configure primary/secondary associated groups, follow these steps:
1. Use the private-vlan command to designate one or more community
VLANs and the primary VLAN that will channel traffic outside of the
community groups.
2. Use the private-vlan association command to map the community
VLAN(s) to the primary VLAN.
3. Use the switchport mode private-vlan command to configure ports
as promiscuous (i.e., having access to all ports in the primary VLAN)
or host (i.e., community port).
4. Use the switchport private-vlan host-association command to
assign a port to a secondary VLAN.

To configure isolated VLANs, follow these steps:
1. Use the private-vlan command to designate an isolated VLAN that
will contain a single promiscuous port and one or more isolated ports.
2. Use the switchport mode private-vlan command to configure one
port as promiscuous (i.e., having access to all ports in the isolated
VLAN) one or more ports as host (i.e., isolated port).
3. Use the switchport private-vlan isolated command to assign a port
to an isolated VLAN.
4. Use the show vlan private-vlan command to verify your

private-vlan
Use this command to create a primary, community, or isolated private
VLAN. Use the no form to remove the specified private VLAN.
Syntax
private-vlan vlan-id {community | primary | isolated}
no private-vlan vlan-id
•vlan-id - ID of private VLAN. (Range: 1-4094, no leading zeroes).
•community - A VLAN in which traffic is restricted to host
members in the same VLAN and to promiscuous ports in the
associate primary VLAN.
•primary - A VLAN which can contain one or more community
VLANs, and serves to channel traffic between community
VLANs and other locations.
•isolated – Specifies an isolated VLAN. Ports assigned to an
isolated VLAN can only communicate with the promiscuous port
within their own VLAN.

VLAN Configuration
Command Usage
• Private VLANs are used to restrict traffic to ports within the same
community or isolated VLAN, and channel traffic passing outside the
community through promiscuous ports. When using community
VLANs, they must be mapped to an associated “primary” VLAN that
contains promiscuous ports. When using an isolated VLAN, it must
be configured to contain a single promiscuous port.
• Port membership for private VLANs is static. Once a port has been
assigned to a private VLAN, it cannot be dynamically moved to
another VLAN via GVRP.
• Private VLAN ports cannot be set to trunked mode. (See “switchport
mode” on page 4-199.)

• Group Address Registration Protocol is used by GVRP and GMRP to
register or deregister client attributes for client services within a
bridged LAN. The default values for the GARP timers are
independent of the media access method or data rate. These values
should not be changed unless you are experiencing difficulties with
GMRP or GVRP registration/deregistration.
• Timer values are applied to GVRP for all the ports on all VLANs.

Priority Commands
The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data
packets have greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due
to congestion. This switch supports CoS with four priority queues for each
port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before
those in the lower-priority queues. You can set the default priority for each
interface, the relative weight of each queue, and the mapping of frame
priority tags to the switch’s priority queues.

Command Usage
You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that
requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before
lower priority queues are serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin
(WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue. WRR
uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the
percentage of service time the switch services each queue before
moving on to the next queue. This prevents the head-of-line blocking
that can occur with strict priority queuing.
Example
The following example sets the queue mode to strict priority service mode:
switchport priority default
This command sets a priority for incoming untagged frames. Use the no
form to restore the default value.
Syntax
switchport priority default default-priority-id
no switchport priority default
default-priority-id - The priority number for untagged ingress traffic.
The priority is a number from 0 to 7. Seven is the highest priority.
Default Setting
The priority is not set, and the default value for untagged frames
received on the interface is zero.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• The precedence for priority mapping is IP Port, IP Precedence or IP
DSCP, and default switchport priority.
• The default priority applies for an untagged frame received on a port
set to accept all frame types (i.e, receives both untagged and tagged
Console(config)#queue mode strict
Console(config)#

OMMANDS

frames). This priority does not apply to IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged
frames. If the incoming frame is an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagged
frame, the IEEE 802.1p User Priority bits will be used.
• This switch provides eight priority queues for each port. It is
configured to use Weighted Round Robin, which can be viewed with
the show queue bandwidth command. Inbound frames that do not
have VLAN tags are tagged with the input port’s default ingress user
priority, and then placed in the appropriate priority queue at the
output port. The default priority for all ingress ports is zero.
Therefore, any inbound frames that do not have priority tags will be
placed in queue 0 of the output port. (Note that if the output port is
an untagged member of the associated VLAN, these frames are
stripped of all VLAN tags prior to transmission.)
Example
The following example shows how to set a default priority on port 3 to 5:
queue bandwidth
This command assigns weighted round-robin (WRR) weights to the four
class of service (CoS) priority queues. Use the no form to restore the
default weights.
Syntax
queue bandwidth weight1...weight3

weight1...weight3 - The ratio of weights for queues 0-3 determines the
weights used by the WRR scheduler. However, note that Queue 0 is
fixed at a weight of 1, and cannot be configured. (Range: 1-31)
Default Setting
Weights 1, 2, 4, 6 are assigned to queues 0-3 respectively.

queue cos-map
This command assigns class of service (CoS) values to the priority queues
(i.e., hardware output queues 0 - 3). Use the no form set the CoS map to
the default values.
Syntax
queue cos-map queue_id [cos1 ... cosn]
no queue cos-map
•queue_id - The ID of the priority queue.
Ranges are 0 to 3, where 3 is the highest priority queue.
•cos1 .. cosn - The CoS values that are mapped to the queue ID. It is
a space-separated list of numbers. The CoS value is a number from
0 to 7, where 7 is the highest priority.
Default Setting
This switch supports Class of Service by using four priority queues,
with Weighted Round Robin queuing for each port. Eight separate
traffic classes are defined in IEEE 802.1p. The default priority levels
are assigned according to recommendations in the IEEE 802.1p
standard as shown below.

Multicast Filtering Commands
This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to query
for any attached hosts that want to receive a specific multicast service. It
identifies the ports containing hosts requesting a service and sends data
out to those ports only. It then propagates the service request up to any
neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will continue to
receive the multicast service.

Command Usage
The query count defines how long the querier waits for a response
from a multicast client before taking action. If a querier has sent a
number of queries defined by this command, but a client has not
responded, a countdown timer is started using the time defined by ip
igmp snooping query-max- response-time. If the countdown
finishes, and the client still has not responded, then that client is
considered to have left the multicast group.
Example
The following shows how to configure the query count to 10:

IP Interface Commands
An IP addresses may be used for management access to the switch over
your network. The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by
default. You can manually configure a specific IP address, or direct the
device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or DHCP server when it is
powered on. You may also need to a establish a default gateway between
this device and management stations or other devices that exist on another
network segment.
ip address

Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Command Usage
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management
access over the network. You can manually configure a specific IP
address, or direct the device to obtain an address from a BOOTP or
DHCP server. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Anything outside this format will not be
accepted by the configuration program.
• If you select the bootp or dhcp option, IP is enabled but will not
function until a BOOTP or DHCP reply has been received. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP
address. (BOOTP and DHCP values can include the IP address,
default gateway, and subnet mask).
• You can start broadcasting BOOTP or DHCP requests by entering an
ip dhcp restart command, or by rebooting the switch.
Note: Only one VLAN interface can be assigned an IP address (the
default is VLAN 1). This defines the management VLAN, the only
VLAN through which you can gain management access to the
switch. If you assign an IP address to any other VLAN, the new IP
address overrides the original IP address and this becomes the new
management VLAN.
Example
In the following example, the device is assigned an address in VLAN 1.

Boot Protocol (BOOTP)
BOOTP is used to provide bootup information for network devices,
including IP address information, the address of the TFTP server that
contains the devices system files, and the name of the boot file.
Class of Service (CoS)
CoS is supported by prioritizing packets based on the required level of
service, and then placing them in the appropriate output queue. Data is
transmitted from the queues using weighted round-robin service to
enforce priority service and prevent blockage of lower-level queues.
Priority may be set according to the port default, the packet’s priority bit

IGMP Query
On each subnetwork, one IGMP-capable device will act as the querier —
that is, the device that asks all hosts to report on the IP multicast groups
they wish to join or to which they already belong. The elected querier will
be the device with the lowest IP address in the subnetwork.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
A protocol through which hosts can register with their local router for
multicast services. If there is more than one multicast switch/router on a

services. UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less
datagrams that may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is
useful when TCP would be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same
collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point
in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical
barriers, and allows users to share information and resources as though
located on the same LAN.
XModem
A protocol used to transfer files between devices. Data is grouped in
128-byte blocks and error-corrected.
