mac access-group
To use a MAC access control list (ACL) to control the reception of incoming traffic on a Gigabit Ethernet interface, an 802.1Q VLAN subinterface, an 802.1Q-in-Q stacked VLAN subinterface, use the mac access-group command in interface or subinterface configuration mode. To remove a MAC ACL, use the no form of this command.
mac access-group access-list-number in
no mac access-group access-list-number in
Syntax Description
access-list-number
Number of a MAC ACL to apply to an interface or subinterface (as specified by a access-list (MAC) command). This is a decimal number from 700 to 799.
in
Filters on inbound packets.
Defaults
No access list is applied to the interface or subinterface.

Subinterface configuration (config-subif)Command History
12.0(32)S
This command was introduced on the Cisco 12000 series Internet router.
12.2(33)SXH
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH.
Usage Guidelines
MAC ACLs are applied on incoming traffic on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces. After a networking device receives a packet, the Cisco IOS software checks the source MAC address of the Gigabit Ethernet, 802.1Q VLAN, or 802.1Q-in-Q packet against the access list. If the MAC access list permits the address, the software continues to process the packet. If the access list denies the address, the software discards the packet and returns an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) host unreachable message.
If the specified MAC ACL does not exist on the interface or subinterface, all packets are passed.
On Catalyst 6500 series switches, this command is supported on Layer 2 ports only.
Note
The mac access-group command is supported on a VLAN subinterface only if a VLAN is already configured on the subinterface.
Examples
The following example applies MAC ACL 101 on incoming traffic received on Gigabit Ethernet interface 0:
Router> enableRouter# configure terminalRouter(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0Router(config-if)# mac access-group 101 inRelated Commands
mac access-list extended
To create an extended MAC access control list (ACL) and define its access control entries (ACEs), use the mac access-list extended command in global configuration mode. To remove MAC ACLs, use the no form of this command.
mac access-list extended name
no mac access-list extended name
Syntax Description
Command Default
No extended ACLs are defined.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When you enter the ACL name, follow these naming conventions:
•
•
•
•
•
You can configure named ACLs that filter Internet Packet Exchange (IPX), DECnet, AppleTalk, Virtual Integrated Network Service (VINES), or Xerox Network Services (XNS) traffic based on MAC addresses (IPX filtering with a MAC ACL is supported only with a Policy Feature Card 3 [PFC3]).
In systems that are configured with PFC3, if you want to classify all IPX traffic by using a MAC-access list that matches on EtherType 0x8137, use the ipx-arpa or ipx-non-arpa protocol.
Once you enter the mac access-list extended name command, use the following subset to create or delete entries in a MAC ACL:
[no] {permit | deny} {{src-mac mask | any} {dest-mac mask | any} [protocol [vlan vlan] [cos value]]}
The vlan vlan and cos value keywords and arguments are supported in PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode with Release 12.2(17b)SXA and later releases.
The vlan vlan and cos value keywords and arguments are not supported on the MAC VLAN access control lists (VACLs).
For the Cisco 7600 series platform when ES20 or ES40 line cards are used, only the {permit | deny} {src-mac mask | any} {dest-mac mask | any} part of the command syntax applies. If an extended MAC Access Control List is created using the [protocol [vlan vlan] [cos value]] options, these options are ignored.
Table 1 describes the syntax of the mac access-list extended command.
Valid entries for the protocol argument are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•

•
•
•
•

When you enter the src-mac mask or dest-mac mask value, note these guidelines and restrictions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Malformed, invalid, deliberately corrupt EtherType 0x800 IP frames are not recognized as IP traffic and are not filtered by IP ACLs.
An ACE created with the mac access-list extended command with the ip keyword filters malformed, invalid, deliberately corrupt EtherType 0x800 IP frames only; it does not filter any other IP traffic.
Examples
The following example shows how to create a MAC ACL named mac_layer that denies traffic from 0000.4700.0001, which is going to 0000.4700.0009, and permits all other traffic:
Router(config)# mac access-list extended mac_layerRouter(config-ext-macl)# deny 0000.4700.0001 0.0.0 0000.4700.0009 0.0.0 dsmRouter(config-ext-macl)# permit any anyRelated Commands

Secure addresses can be assigned to only one port at a time. Therefore, if a secure address table entry for the specified MAC address and VLAN already exists on another port, it is removed from that port and assigned to the specified one.
If the maximum number is more than the MAC addresses statically specified by using the H.H.H keyword, the switch learns the MAC address automatically up to the specified maximum. If the maximum number is less than the number of MAC addresses already specified statically, then an error message displays.

The output interface specified cannot be a switched virtual interface (SVI).
Entering the no form of this command does not remove system MAC addresses.
When you remove a MAC address, entering the interface type slot/port argument is optional. For unicast entries, the entry is removed automatically. For multicast entries, if you do not specify an interface, the entire entry is removed. You can specify the selected ports to be removed by specifying the interface.
Catalyst Switches
The output interface specified cannot be an SVI.
As a good practice, configure static MAC addresses on Layer 2 EtherChannels only and not on Layer 2 physical member ports of an EtherChannel. This practice does not apply to Layer 3 EtherChannels and its members.
Use the no form of this command to do the following:
•
•
The dlci dlci keyword and argument are valid only if Frame Relay encapsulation has been enabled on the specified interface.
The pvc vpi/vci keyword and arguments are supported on ATM interfaces only. When specifying the pvc vpi/vci, you must specify both a VPI and a VCI, separated by a slash.
When you install a static MAC address, it is associated with a port. If the same MAC address is seen on a different port, the entry is updated with the new port if you enter the auto-learn keyword.
The output interface specified must be a Layer 2 IDB and not an SVI.
The ipx keyword is not supported.
You can enter up to 15 interfaces per command entered, but you can enter more interfaces by repeating the command.
If you do not enter a protocol type, an entry is automatically created for each of the protocol types.
Entering the no form of this command does not remove system MAC addresses.
When you remove a MAC address, entering interface int is optional. For unicast entries, the entry is removed automatically. For multicast entries, if you do not specify an interface, the entire entry is removed. You can specify the selected ports to be removed by specifying the interface.
The mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id interface int disable-snooping command disables snooping on the specified static MAC address/VLAN pair only. To re-enable snooping, first you must delete the MAC address using the no form of the command, and then you must reinstall the MAC address using the mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id interface int command, without entering the disable-snooping keyword.
The mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id drop command cannot be applied to a multicast MAC address.
Note
Specifying a MAC Address for DLCI or PVC Circuits
To support multipoint bridging and other features, the behavior of the following command has changed for ATM and Frame Relay interfaces in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases. In previous releases, you needed to specify a VLAN ID and an interface only.
Router(config)# mac-address-table static 000C.0203.0405 vlan 101 interface ATM6/1In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE, you must also specify the dlci option for Frame Relay interfaces, or the pvc option for ATM interfaces, such as in the following example:

The MAC sequence is not effective for IP or IPX packets. IP packets and IPX packets should be access controlled by IP and IPX match clauses.
You cannot configure VACLs on secondary VLANs. The secondary VLAN inherits all features that are configured on the primary VLAN.
The following commands appear in the command-line interface (CLI) help but are not supported by the quality of service (QoS) as implemented on the policy feature card (PFC):

Command Default
When IP multicast MLS is enabled, the subinterface (or VLAN interface) that has the lowest VLAN ID and is active (in the "up" state) is automatically selected as the management interface.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When you enable IP multicast MLS, the subinterface (or VLAN interface) that has the lowest VLAN ID and is active (in the "up" state) is automatically selected as the management interface. The one-hop protocol Multilayer Switching Protocol (MLSP) is used between a router and a switch to pass messages about hardware-switched flows. MLSP packets are sent and received on the management interface. Typically, the interface in VLAN 1 is chosen (if that interface exists). Only one management interface is allowed on a single trunk link.
In most cases, we recommend that the management interface be determined by default. However, you can optionally use this command to specify a different router interface or subinterface as the management interface. We recommend using a subinterface with minimal data traffic so that multicast MLSP packets can be sent and received more quickly.
If the user-configured management interface goes down, the router uses the default interface (the active interface with the lowest VLAN ID) until the user-configured interface comes up again.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the Fast Ethernet interface as the management interface:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet1/0.1Router(config-if)# mls rp ip multicast management-interfaceRelated Commands

Usage Guidelines
This command is supported on the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN interfaces on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with an Optical Services Module (OSM)-2+4GE-WAN+ OSM module only.
OSMs are not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 32.
802.1Q provides a trunking option that tags packets with two VLAN tags to allow multiple VLANs to be trunked together across an intermediate network. This use of a double-tagged tunnel is also referred to as Q-in-Q tunneling.
The mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway command enhances Q-in-Q tunneling by tagging packets with two VLAN tags to allow multiple VLANs to be trunked together across an intermediate network. This use of double-tagged tunnels performs the following functions:
•
•
•
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, you can also combine multiple GE-WAN interfaces into a virtual port-channel interface to enable Q-in-Q link bundling. Combining the interfaces not only simplifies the configuration, but allows the GE-WAN OSM to load balance the provider edge (PE) VLANs among the physical interfaces that are members of the bundle. Also, if one interface member of the link bundle goes down, its PE VLANs are automatically reallocated to the other members of the bundle.
Note
After configuring the mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway command, use the bridge-domain (subinterface configuration) command to configure the VLAN mapping to be used on each subinterface.

The number of valid values for port-channel number depends on the software release. For Cisco IOS releases prior to software Release 12.1(3a)E3, valid values are from 1 to 256; for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)E3, 12.1(3a)E4, and 12.1(4)E1, valid values are from 1 to 64. Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5c)EX and later support a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to 256.
Only one destination per SPAN session is supported. If you attempt to add another destination interface to a session that already has a destination interface configured, you get an error. You must first remove a SPAN destination interface before changing the SPAN destination to a different interface.
You can configure up to 64 SPAN destination interfaces, but have only one egress SPAN source interface and only up to 64 ingress source interfaces.
A SPAN session can monitor either VLANs or individual interfaces, but it cannot monitor both specific interfaces and specific VLANs. Configuring a SPAN session with a source interface and then trying to add a source VLAN to the same SPAN session causes an error. Configuring a SPAN session with a source VLAN and then trying to add a source interface to that session also causes an error. You must first clear any sources for a SPAN session before switching to another type of source.
If you enter the filter keyword on a monitored trunk interface, only traffic on the set of specified VLANs is monitored.
Port channel interfaces are displayed in the list of interface options if you have configured the interfaces. VLAN interfaces are not supported. However, you can span a particular VLAN by entering the monitor session session source vlan vlan-id command.

The analysis-module slot-number and the data-port port-number keywords and arguments are supported only on NAM.
The number of valid values for port-channel number are a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to 256.
You cannot share the destination interfaces among SPAN sessions. For example, a single destination interface can belong to one SPAN session only and cannot be configured as a destination interface in another SPAN session.
Note
The Supervisor Engine 720 local SPAN, RSPAN, and ERSPAN session limits are listed in Table 6.
The Supervisor Engine 720 local SPAN, RSPAN, and ERSPAN source and destination limits are listed in Table 7.

A particular SPAN session can monitor either VLANs or individual interfaces; you cannot have a SPAN session that monitors both specific interfaces and specific VLANs. If you first configure a SPAN session with a source interface and then try to add a source VLAN to the same SPAN session, you will get an error. You will also get an error if you configure a SPAN session with a source VLAN and then try to add a source interface to that session. You must first clear any sources for a SPAN session before switching to another type of source.
If you enter the filter keyword on a monitored trunk interface, only traffic on the set of specified VLANs is monitored.
The port-channel interfaces are displayed in the list of interface options if you have configured the interfaces. The VLAN interfaces are not supported. However, you can span a particular VLAN by entering the monitor session session source vlan vlan-id command.

port-channel load-defer seconds
no port-channel load-defer
Syntax Description
seconds
Sets the time interval in seconds by which load sharing will be deferred on the switch. Valid range is from 1 to 1800 seconds. The default deferal interval is 120 seconds
Defaults
The port defer interval is 120 seconds.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To reduce data loss following a stateful switchover (SSO), port load share deferral can be enabled by entering the port-channel port load-defer command on a port channel of a switch that is connected by a multichassis EtherChannel (MEC) to a virtual switching system (VSS). Port load share deferral temporarily prevents the switch from forwarding data traffic to MEC member ports on a failed chassis of the VSS while the VSS recovers from the SSO.
The load share deferral interval is determined by a single global timer configurable by the port-channel load-defer command. After an SSO switchover, a period of several seconds to several minutes can be required for the reinitialization of line cards and the reestablishment of forwarding tables, particularly multicast topologies.
The valid range of seconds is 1 to 1800 seconds; the default is 120 seconds.
Examples
This example shows how to set the global port deferral interval to 60 seconds:
Router(config)# port-channel load-defer 60Router(config)#This example shows how to verify the configuration of the port deferral interval on a port channel:

port-channel port load-defer
To enable the temporary deferral of port load sharing during the connection or reconnection of a port channel, use the port-channel port load-defer command in interface configuration mode. To disable the deferral of port load sharing on a port channel, use the no form of this command.
port-channel port load-defer
no port-channel port load-defer
Syntax Description
This command has no keywords or arguments.
Defaults
The port load share deferral feature is not enabled on a port channel.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To reduce data loss following a stateful switchover (SSO), a port load share deferral can be enabled on a port channel of a switch that is connected by a multichassis EtherChannel (MEC) to a virtual switching system (VSS). The load share deferral interval prevents the switch from forwarding data traffic to MEC member ports on a failed chassis of the VSS while the VSS recovers from the SSO.
When load share deferral is enabled on a port channel, the assignment of a member port's load share is delayed for a period that is configurable globally by the port-channel load-defer command. During the deferral period, the load share of a deferred member port is set to 0. In this state, the deferred port is capable of receiving data and control traffic, and of sending control traffic, but the port is prevented from sending data traffic over the MEC to the VSS. Upon expiration of the global deferral timer, the deferred member port exits the deferral state and the port assumes its normal configured load share.
Load share deferral is applied only if at least one other member port of the port channel is currently active with a nonzero load share. If a port enabled for load share deferral is the first member bringing up the EtherChannel, the deferral feature does not apply and the port will forward traffic immediately.
The load share deferral interval is determined by a single global timer configurable from 1 to 1800 seconds by the port-channel load-defer command. The default interval is 120 seconds. After an SSO switchover, a period of several seconds to several minutes can be required for the reinitialization of line cards and the reestablishment of forwarding tables, particularly multicast topologies.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the load share deferral feature on port channel 50 of a switch that is an MEC peer to a VSS:

private-vlan
To configure private VLANs (PVLANs), use the private-vlan command in VLAN configuration mode. To remove the PVLAN configuration, use the no form of this command.
private-vlan {isolated | community | primary}
no private-vlan {isolated | community | primary}
Syntax Description
isolated
Designates the VLAN as an isolated PVLAN.
community

Command Default
No PVLANs are configured.
Command Modes
VLAN configuration (config-vlan)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You cannot configure PVLANs on a port-security port. If you enter the pvlan command on a port-security port, the following error message is displayed:
Command rejected: Gix/y is Port Security enabled port.Within groups of 12 ports (1-12, 13-24, 25-36, and 37-48), if one of the ports is a trunk, a Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination, or a promiscuous PVLAN port, then do not configure the ports as isolated or as community VLAN ports. If so, any isolated or community VLAN configuration for the other ports within the 12 ports is inactive. To reactivate the ports, remove the isolated or community VLAN port configuration and enter the shutdown and no shutdown commands.
Caution
Note
You cannot configure VLAN 1 or VLANs 1001 to 1005 as PVLANs.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) does not propagate PVLAN configuration. Each protected or private port is associated with a PVLAN, that is not supported through VTP. Therefore, you must configure PVLANs on each device where you require PVLAN ports.
A promiscuous port is a private port that is assigned to a primary VLAN.
An isolated VLAN is a VLAN that is used by isolated ports to communicate with promiscuous ports. The traffic from an isolated VLAN is blocked on all other private ports in the same VLAN. This traffic can only be received by standard trunking ports and promiscuous ports that are assigned to the corresponding primary VLAN.
A primary VLAN is the VLAN that is used to carry the traffic from the routers to customer end stations on private ports.
A community VLAN is the VLAN that carries the traffic among community ports, and from community ports to the promiscuous ports on the corresponding primary VLAN.
You can specify only one isolated vlan-id in the vlan command, while multiple community VLANs are allowed. Isolated and community VLANs can only be associated with one VLAN. The associated VLAN list must not contain primary VLANs. You cannot configure a VLAN that is already associated to a primary VLAN as a primary VLAN.
The private-vlan commands do not take effect until you exit the VLAN configuration mode.
If you delete either the primary or secondary VLAN, the ports that are associated with the VLAN become inactive.
See the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for additional configuration guidelines.

If so, any isolated or community VLAN configuration for the other ports within the 12 ports is inactive. To reactivate the ports, remove the isolated or community VLAN port configuration and enter the shutdown and no shutdown commands.
Caution
Note
VLAN 1 or VLANs ranging from 1002 to 1005 cannot be configured as PVLANs. Extended VLANs (VLAN IDs 1006 to 4094) can belong to PVLANs.
A PVLAN is a set of private ports that are characterized by using a common set of VLAN number pairs. Each pair is made up of at least two special unidirectional VLANs, and it is used by isolated ports, or by a community of ports to communicate with routers, or both.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) must be set to transparent mode to support PVLANs. After the PVLAN configuration, you must not change the VTP mode to client or server mode. VTP does not propagate PVLAN configuration. Each protected or private port is associated with a PVLAN, which is not supported through VTP. Therefore, you must configure PVLANs on each device where you require PVLAN ports.
A primary VLAN can contain one isolated VLAN and multiple community VLANs associated with it. An isolated or community VLAN can have only one primary VLAN associated with it.
Note
If you delete either the primary or secondary VLAN, the ports that are associated with the VLAN become inactive.
See the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for additional configuration guidelines.

private-vlan mapping
To create a mapping between the primary and the secondary VLANs so that both VLANs share the same primary VLAN switched virtual interface (SVI), use the private-vlan mapping command in interface configuration mode. To remove all private VLAN (PVLAN) mappings from the SVI, use the no form of this command.
private-vlan mapping [secondary-vlan-list | add secondary-vlan-list | remove secondary-vlan-list]
no private-vlan mapping
Syntax Description
Defaults
No PVLAN SVI mapping is configured.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The private-vlan mapping command affects traffic that is switched in the software on the Multilayer Switching Feature Card (MSFC) or MSFC2. The private-vlan mapping command does not configure Layer 3 switching on the Policy Feature Card (PFC) or PFC2.
The secondary-vlan-list argument cannot contain spaces; it can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single PVLAN ID or a hyphenated range of PVLAN IDs.
This command is valid in the interface configuration mode of the primary VLAN.
The SVI of the primary VLAN is created at Layer 3.
Traffic that is received on the secondary VLAN is routed by the SVI of the primary VLAN.
The SVIs of existing secondary VLANs do not function and are considered as down after you enter this command.
A secondary SVI can only be mapped to one primary SVI. If you configure the primary VLAN as a secondary VLAN, all the SVIs that are specified in this command are brought down.
If you configure a mapping between two VLANs that do not have a valid Layer 2 association, the mapping configuration does not take effect.
Examples
This example shows how to permit routing of secondary VLAN-ingress traffic from PVLANs 303 through 307, 309, and 440 and verify the configuration:

rep admin vlan
To configure a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) administrative VLAN for REP to transmit hardware flood layer (HFL) messages, use the rep admin vlan command in global configuration mode. To return to the default configuration with VLAN 1 as the administrative VLAN, use the no form of this command.
rep admin vlan vlan-id
no rep admin vlan
Syntax Description
vlan-id
The VLAN ID range is from 1 to 4094. The default is VLAN 1; the range to configure is 2 to 4094.
Defaults
The administrative VLAN is VLAN 1.
Command Modes
Global configuration (config)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If the VLAN does not already exist, this command does not create the VLAN.
To avoid the delay introduced by relaying messages in software for link-failure or VLAN-blocking notification during load balancing, REP floods packets at the HFL to a regular multicast address. These messages are flooded to the whole network, not just the REP segment. Switches that do not belong to the segment treat them as data traffic. Configuring an administrative VLAN for the whole domain can control flooding of these messages.
If no REP administrative VLAN is configured, the default is VLAN 1.
There can be only one administrative VLAN on a switch and on a segment.
The administrative VLAN cannot be the RSPAN VLAN.
Examples
This example shows how to configure VLAN 100 as the REP administrative VLAN:
Router(config)# rep admin vlan 100You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep detail privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
show interfaces rep detail
Displays detailed REP configuration and status for all interfaces or the specified interface, including the administrative VLAN.
rep block port
To configure Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) VLAN load balancing on the REP primary edge port, use the rep block port command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command.
rep block port {id port-id | neighbor-offset | preferred} vlan {vlan-list | all}
no rep block port {id port-id | neighbor-offset | preferred}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default behavior after you enter the rep preempt segment privileged EXEC command (for manual preemption) is to block all VLANs at the primary edge port. This behavior remains until you configure the rep block port command.
If the primary edge port cannot determine which port is to be the alternate port, the default action is no preemption and no VLAN load balancing.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enter this command on the REP primary edge port.
When you select an alternate port by entering an offset number, this number identifies the downstream neighbor port of an edge port. The primary edge port has an offset number of 1; positive numbers above 1 identify downstream neighbors of the primary edge port. Negative numbers identify the secondary edge port (offset number -1) and its downstream neighbors. You would never enter an offset value of 1 because that is the offset number of the primary edge port itself.
If you have configured a preempt delay time by entering the rep preempt delay seconds interface configuration command and a link failure and recovery occurs, VLAN load balancing begins after the configured preemption time period elapses without another link failure. The alternate port specified in the load-balancing configuration blocks the configured VLANs and unblocks all other segment ports. If the primary edge port cannot determine the alternate port for VLAN balancing, the default action is no preemption.
Each port in a segment has a unique port ID. The port ID format is similar to the one used by the spanning tree algorithm: a port number (unique on the bridge) associated to a MAC address (unique in the network). To determine the port ID of a port, enter the show interfaces interface-id rep detail privileged EXEC command.
Examples
This example shows how to configure REP VLAN load balancing on the Router B primary edge port (Gigabit Ethernet port 1/0/1) and to configure Gigabit Ethernet port 1/0/2 of Router A as the alternate port to block VLANs 1 to 100. The alternate port is identified by its port ID, shown in bold in the output of the show interfaces rep detail command for the Router A port.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enter this command on the REP primary edge port.
You must enter this command and configure a preempt time delay if you want VLAN load balancing to automatically trigger after a link failure and recovery.
If VLAN load-balancing is configured, after a segment port failure and recovery, the REP primary edge port starts a delay timer before VLAN load balancing occurs. Note that the timer restarts after each link failure. When the timer expires, the REP primary edge alerts the alternate port to perform VLAN load-balancing (configured by using the rep block port interface configuration command) and prepares the segment for the new topology. The configured VLAN list is blocked at the alternate port, and all other VLANs are blocked at the primary edge port.

After you enter the rep preempt segment segment-id command, a confirmation message appears before the command is executed because preemption can cause network disruption.
Enter this command on the router on the segment that has the primary edge port.
If you do not configure VLAN load balancing, entering this command results in the default behavior—the primary edge port blocks all VLANs.
You configure VLAN load balancing by entering the rep block port {id port-id | neighbor-offset | preferred} vlan {vlan-list | all} interface configuration command on the REP primary edge port before you manually start preemption.
There is not a no version of this command.
Examples
This example shows how to manually trigger REP preemption on segment 100 with the confirmation message:
Router# rep preempt segment 100The command will cause a momentary traffic disruption.Do you still want to continue? [confirm]Related Commands
rep block port
Configures VLAN load balancing.
show interfaces rep
Displays REP configuration and status for all interfaces or the specified interface.
rep segment
To enable Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) on the interface and to assign a segment ID to the interface, use the rep segment command in interface configuration mode. To disable REP on the interface, use the no form of this command.
rep segment segment-id [edge [no-neighbor] [primary]] [preferred]
no rep segment
Syntax Description
Defaults
REP is disabled on the interface.
When REP is enabled on an interface, the default is for the port to be a regular segment port.Command Modes

Command History
Usage Guidelines
REP ports must be Layer 2 trunk ports. A non-Ethernet Services (ES) REP port can be either an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port or an ISL trunk port.
REP ports should not be configured as one of these port types:
•
•
•
•
You must configure two edge ports on each REP segment, a primary edge port and a port to act as a secondary edge port. If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port (for example, ports on different switches) the configuration is allowed, but the REP selects one of them to serve as the segment primary edge port.
REP Edge No Neighbor
You can configure the non-rep switch facing ports as edge no- neighbor ports. These ports inherit the properties of edge ports, and overcome the limitation of not being able to converge quickly during a failure.
REP on EtherChannels
REP is supported on EtherChannels, but not on an individual port that belongs to an EtherChannel.
REP Enabled on Two Ports
If you enable REP on two ports on a switch, the ports must both be either regular segment ports or edge ports. REP ports follow these rules:
•
•
•
If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port (for example, ports on different switches) the REP selects one of them to serve as the segment primary edge port. Enter the show rep topology privileged EXEC command on a port in the segment to verify which port is the segment primary edge port.
REP Interfaces
REP interfaces come up in a blocked state and remain in a blocked state until notified that it is safe to unblock. You need to be aware of this to avoid sudden connection losses.
REP in Networks with Redundancy
You should configure REP only in networks with redundancy. Configuring REP in a network without redundancy causes loss of connectivity.
Examples
REP Enabled on a Nonedge Segment Port
This example shows how to enable REP on a regular (nonedge) segment port:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1Router(config-if)# rep segment 100REP Enabled as Primary Edge Port
This example shows how to enable REP on a port and identify the port as the REP primary edge port:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2Router(config-if)# rep segment 100 edge primaryREP as Secondary Edge Port
This example shows how to enable REP on a port and identify the port as the REP secondary edge port:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2Router(config-if)# rep segment 100 edgeREP as Edge No-Neighbor Port
This example shows how to enable REP as an edge no-neighbor port:Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2Router(config-if)# rep segment 1 edge no-neighbor primary
Verify Settings with the show interfaces rep Command
You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep privileged EXEC command. To verify which port in the segment is the primary edge port, enter the show rep topology privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
rep stcn
To configure a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) edge port to send REP segment topology change notifications (STCNs) to another interface, to other segments, or to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) networks, use the rep stcn command in interface configuration mode. To disable the sending of STCNs to the interface, segment, or STP network, use the no form of this command.
rep stcn {interface interface-id | segment id-list | stp}
no rep stcn {interface | segment | stp}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Transmission of STCNs to other interfaces, segments, or STP networks is disabled.
Command Modes
Interface configuration (config-if)
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command on a segment edge port.
You use this command to notify other portions of the Layer 2 network of topology changes that occur in the local REP segment. This removes obsolete entries in the Layer 2 forwarding table in other parts of the network, which allows faster network convergence.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a REP edge port to send STCNs to segments 25 to 50:
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2Router(config-if)# rep stcn segment 25-50Router(config-if)# exitYou can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep detail privileged EXEC command.
