This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the aaa authorization network default group radius global configuration command to allow the switch to download authorization parameters from the RADIUS servers in the default authorization list. The authorization parameters are used by features such as VLAN assignment to get parameters from the RADIUS servers.

Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the configured lists of authorization methods.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the switch for user RADIUS authorization for all network-related service requests:

Switch(config)# aaa authorization network default group radius

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

archive download-sw

Use the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to download a new image from a TFTP server to the switch and to overwrite or keep the existing image.

archive download-sw [/allow-feature-upgrade | /directory | /force-reload | /imageonly | /leave-old-sw | /no-set-boot | /no-version-check | /only-system-type system-type | /overwrite | /reload | /safe] source-url1 [source-url2 source-url3 source-url4]

archive download-sw [/allow-feature-upgrade | /directory | /force-reload | /imageonly | /leave-old-sw | /no-set-boot | /overwrite | /reload | /safe] /directory source-url1 [source-url2 source-url3 source-url4]

Syntax Description

/allow-feature-upgrade

Allow installation of software images with different feature sets (for example, upgrade from the IP base feature set to the IP services features set).

/directory

Specify a directory for all of the images.

/force-reload

Unconditionally force a system reload after successfully downloading the software image.

/imageonly

Download only the software image but not the HTML files associated with the embedded device manager. The HTML files for the existing version are deleted only if the existing version is being overwritten or removed.

/leave-old-sw

Keep the old software version after a successful download.

/no-set-boot

Do not alter the setting of the BOOT environment variable to point to the new software image after it is successfully downloaded.

/overwrite

Overwrite the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.

/reload

Reload the system after successfully downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not been saved.

/safe

Keep the current software image; do not delete it to make room for the new software image before the new image is downloaded. The current image is deleted after the download.

source-url1 [sourceurl2 sourceurl3 sourceurl4]

The source URLs for the software images.

Enter one source URL for the software image that the switch supports.

The image-name.tar is the software image to download and install on the switch.

These options are supported:

Local flash file system syntax:
flash:

FTP syntax: ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/image-name.tar

HTTP server syntax:
http://[[username:password]@]{hostname | host-ip}[/directory]/image-name.tar

Secure HTTP server syntax:
https://[[username:password]@]{hostname | host-ip}[/directory]/image-name.tar

Remote Copy Protocol (RCP) syntax: rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/image-name.tar

Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) syntax for the: scp:[[//username@location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The syntax for the TFTP:
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar


Defaults

The current software image is not overwritten with the downloaded image.

Both the software image and HTML files are downloaded.

The new image is downloaded to the flash: file system.

The BOOT environment variable is changed to point to the new software image on the flash: file system.

Image names are case sensitive; the image file is provided in tar format.

Command Modes

Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the /allow-feature-upgrade option to allow installation of an image with a different feature set, for example, upgrading from the IP base feature set to the IP services feature.

You can use the archive download-sw /directory command to specify a directory only once, followed by a tar file or list of tar files to be downloaded, instead of specifying complete paths with each tar file.

The /imageonly option removes the HTML files for the existing image if the existing image is being removed or replaced. Only the Cisco IOS image (without the HTML files) is downloaded.

Using the /safe or /leave-old-sw option can cause the new image download to fail if there is insufficient flash memory. If leaving the software in place prevents the new image from fitting in flash memory due to space constraints, an error results.

If you used the /leave-old-sw option and did not overwrite the old image when you downloaded the new one, you can remove the old image by using the delete privileged EXEC command. For more information, see the "delete" section.

Use the /overwrite option to overwrite the image on the flash device with the downloaded one.

If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the download algorithm verifies that the new image is not the same as the one on the switch flash device. If the images are the same, the download does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is deleted, and the new one is downloaded.

After downloading a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new image, or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive download-sw command.

Use the /directory option to specify a directory for the images.

Examples

This example shows how to download a new image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 and to overwrite the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 

This example shows how to download only the software image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 to the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /imageonly tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 

This example shows how to keep the old software version after a successful download:

Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 

This example specifies the location of two tar images without having to specify the path each time:

Switch# archive download-sw tftp://10.1.1.10/ 
c2360-universsalk9.tar c2360-universalk9_2.tar

channel-group

Use the channel-group interface configuration command to assign an Ethernet port to an EtherChannel group, to enable an EtherChannel mode, or both. Use the no form of this command to remove an Ethernet port from an EtherChannel group.

channel-group channel-group-number mode {active | {auto [non-silent]} | {desirable [non-silent]} | on | passive}

no channel-group

PAgP modes:
channel-group channel-group-number mode {{auto [non-silent]} | {desirable [non-silent}}

On mode:
channel-group channel-group-number mode on

Syntax Description

channel-group-number

Specify the channel group number. The range is 1 to 48.

mode

Specify the EtherChannel mode.

active

Active mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets. A channel is formed with another port group in either the active or passive mode.

auto

Enable the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) only if a PAgP device is detected.

Auto mode places a port into a passive negotiating state in which the port responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not start PAgP packet negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in desirable mode. When auto is enabled, silent operation is the default.

desirable

Unconditionally enable PAgP.

Desirable mode places a port into an active negotiating state in which the port starts negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets. An EtherChannel is formed with another port group that is in the desirable or auto mode. When desirable is enabled, silent operation is the default.

non-silent

(Optional) Use in PAgP mode with the auto or desirable keyword when traffic is expected from the other device.

on

Enable on mode.

In on mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when both connected port groups are in the on mode.

passive

Passive mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port responds to received LACP packets but does not initiate LACP packet negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in active mode.


Defaults

No channel groups are assigned.

No mode is configured.

Usage Guidelines

For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you do not have to create a port-channel interface first by using the interface port-channel global configuration command before assigning a physical port to a channel group. Instead, you can use the channel-group interface configuration command. It automatically creates the port-channel interface when the channel group gets its first physical port if the logical interface is not already created. If you create the port-channel interface first, the channel-group-number can be the same as the port-channel-number, or you can use a new number. If you use a new number, the channel-group command dynamically creates a new port channel.

You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical port that is part of a channel group, but we strongly recommend that you do so.

After you configure an EtherChannel, configuration changes that you make on the port-channel interface apply to all the physical ports assigned to the port-channel interface. Configuration changes applied to the physical port affect only the port where you apply the configuration. To change the parameters of all ports in an EtherChannel, apply configuration commands to the port-channel interface, for example, spanning-tree commands or commands to configure a Layer 2 EtherChannel as a trunk.

If you do not specify non-silent with the auto or desirable mode, silent is assumed. The silent mode is used when the switch is connected to a device that is not PAgP-capable and seldom, if ever, sends packets. A example of a silent partner is a file server or a packet analyzer that is not generating traffic. In this case, running PAgP on a physical port prevents that port from ever becoming operational. However, it allows PAgP to operate, to attach the port to a channel group, and to use the port for transmission. Both ends of the link cannot be set to silent.

In the on mode, an EtherChannel exists only when a port group in the on mode is connected to another port group in the on mode.


Caution You should use care when using the on mode. This is a manual configuration, and ports on both ends of the EtherChannel must have the same configuration. If the group is misconfigured, packet loss or spanning-tree loops can occur.

Do not configure an EtherChannel in both the PAgP and LACP modes. EtherChannel groups running PAgP and LACP can coexist on the same switch. Individual EtherChannel groups can run either PAgP or LACP, but they cannot interoperate.

If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol interface configuration command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.

For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel that assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2 
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable 
Switch(config-if-range)# end 

This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel that assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2 
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active 
Switch(config-if-range)# end 

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

You must use the channel-group interface configuration command to configure the EtherChannel parameters. The channel-group command also can set the mode for the EtherChannel.

You cannot enable both the PAgP and LACP modes on an EtherChannel group.

PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.

Examples

This example shows how to specify LACP as the protocol that manages the EtherChannel:

Switch(config-if)# channel-protocol lacp

You can verify your settings by entering the show etherchannel [channel-group-number] protocol privileged EXEC command.

class-map

Use the class-map global configuration command to create a class map to be used for matching packets to the class whose name you specify and to enter class-map configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map and to return to global configuration mode.

class-map [match-all | match-any] class-map-name

no class-map [match-all | match-any] class-map-name

Syntax Description

match-all

(Optional) Perform a logical-AND of all matching statements under this class map. All criteria in the class map must be matched.

match-any

(Optional) Perform a logical-OR of the matching statements under this class map. One or more criteria must be matched.

class-map-name

Name of the class map.


Defaults

No class maps are defined.

If neither the match-all or match-any keyword is specified, the default is match-all.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class-map match criteria and to enter class-map configuration mode.

The class-map command and its subcommands are used to define packet classification, marking, and aggregate policing as part of a globally named service policy applied on a per-port basis.

After you are in quality of service (QoS) class-map configuration mode, these configuration commands are available:

description: describes the class map (up to 200 characters). The show class-map privileged EXEC command displays the description and the name of the class-map.

exit: exits from QoS class-map configuration mode.

match: configures classification criteria. For more information, see the match (class-map configuration) command.

no: removes a match statement from a class map.

rename: renames the current class map. If you rename a class map with a name that is already used, the message A class-map with this name already exists appears.

If you enter the match-all or match-any keyword, you can only use it to specify an extended named access control list (ACL) with the match access-group acl-index-or-name class-map configuration command.

To define packet classification on a physical-port basis, only one match command per class map is supported. In this situation, the match-all and match-any keywords are equivalent.

Only one ACL can be configured in a class map. The ACL can have multiple access control entries (ACEs).

Examples

This example shows how to configure the class map called class1 with one match criterion, which is an access list called 103:

Switch(config)# access-list 103 permit ip any any dscp 10
Switch(config)# class-map class1
Switch(config-cmap)# match access-group 103
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This example shows how to delete the class map class1:

Switch(config)# no class-map class1

You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A switch running the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) protocol or the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports a built-in protocol migration mechanism that enables it to interoperate with legacy IEEE 802.1D switches. If a rapid-PVST+ switch or an MSTP switch receives a legacy IEEE 802.1D configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) with the protocol version set to 0, it sends only IEEE 802.1D BPDUs on that port. A multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch can also detect that a port is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU, an MST BPDU (Version 3) associated with a different region, or a rapid spanning-tree (RST) BPDU (Version 2).

However, the switch does not automatically revert to the rapid-PVST+ or the MSTP mode if it no longer receives IEEE 802.1D BPDUs because it cannot learn whether the legacy switch has been removed from the link unless the legacy switch is the designated switch. Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols command in this situation.

Examples

This example shows how to restart the protocol migration process on a port:

Switch# clear spanning-tree detected-protocols interface gigabitethernet0/1

cluster commander-address

You do not need to enter this command from a standalone cluster member switch. The cluster command switch automatically provides its MAC address to cluster member switches when these switches join the cluster. The cluster member switch adds this information and other cluster information to its running configuration file. Use the no form of this global configuration command from the cluster member switch console port or Ethernet management port to remove the switch from a cluster only during debugging or recovery procedures.

cluster commander-address mac-address [member number name name]

no cluster commander-address

Syntax Description

mac-address

MAC address of the cluster command switch.

member number

(Optional) Number of a configured cluster member switch. The range is 0 to 15.

name name

(Optional) Name of the configured cluster up to 31 characters.


Defaults

The switch is not a member of any cluster.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is available only on the cluster command switch.

A cluster member can have only one cluster command switch.

The cluster member switch retains the identity of the cluster command switch during a system reload by using the mac-address parameter.

You can enter the no form on a cluster member switch to remove it from the cluster during debugging or recovery procedures. You would normally use this command from the cluster member switch console port or Ethernet management port only when the member has lost communication with the cluster command switch. With normal switch configuration, we recommend that you remove cluster member switches only by entering the no cluster member n global configuration command on the cluster command switch.

When a standby cluster command switch becomes active (becomes the cluster command switch), it removes the cluster commander address line from its configuration.

Examples

This is partial sample output from the running configuration of a cluster member.

Switch(config)# show running-configuration

<output truncated>

cluster commander-address 00e0.9bc0.a500 member 4 name my_cluster

<output truncated>

This example shows how to remove a member from the cluster by using the cluster member console.

Switch # configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# no cluster commander-address

You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.

If the hop count is set to 1, it disables extended discovery. The cluster command switch discovers only candidates that are one hop from the edge of the cluster. The edge of the cluster is the point between the last discovered cluster member switch and the first discovered candidate switch.

Examples

This example shows how to set hop count limit to 4. This command is executed on the cluster command switch.

Switch(config)# cluster discovery hop-count 4

You can verify your setting by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.

Use the no form of this command to set the duration to the default value.

cluster holdtime holdtime-in-secs

no cluster holdtime

Syntax Description

holdtime-in-secs

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Enter this command only on the cluster command switch to add a candidate to or remove a member from the cluster. If you enter this command on a switch other than the cluster command switch, the switch rejects the command and displays an error message.

You must enter a member number to remove a switch from the cluster. However, you do not need to enter a member number to add a switch to the cluster. The cluster command switch selects the next available member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.

You must enter the enable password of the candidate switch for authentication when it joins the cluster. The password is not saved in the running or startup configuration. After a candidate switch becomes a member of the cluster, its password becomes the same as the cluster command-switch password.

If a switch does not have a configured hostname, the cluster command switch appends a member number to the cluster command-switch hostname and assigns it to the cluster member switch.

If you do not specify a VLAN ID, the cluster command switch automatically chooses a VLAN and adds the candidate to the cluster.

Examples

This example shows how to add a switch as member 2 with MAC address 00E0.1E00.2222 and the password key to a cluster. The cluster command switch adds the candidate to the cluster through VLAN 3.

Switch(config)# cluster member 2 mac-address 00E0.1E00.2222 password key vlan 3

This example shows how to add a switch with MAC address 00E0.1E00.3333 to the cluster. This switch does not have a password. The cluster command switch selects the next available member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.

Switch(config)# cluster member mac-address 00E0.1E00.3333

You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster members privileged EXEC command on the cluster command switch.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The macro name is a 32-character maximum character string.

A macro can contain up to five ranges.

All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs, but you can combine multiple interface types in a macro.

When entering the interface-range, use this format:

type {first-interface} - {last-interface}

You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when entering an interface-range. For example, gigabitethernet 0/1 - 2 is a valid range; gigabitethernet0/1-2 is not a valid range

Valid values for type and interface:

vlan vlan-id - vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094

VLAN interfaces must have been configured with the interface vlan command (the show running-config privileged EXEC command displays the configured VLAN interfaces). VLAN interfaces not displayed by the show running-config command cannot be used in interface-ranges.

port-channel port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 48

gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}

tengigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}

For physical interfaces:

module is always 0.

the range is type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet 0/1 - 2).

When you define a range, you must enter a space before the hyphen (-), for example:

gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

You can also enter multiple ranges. When you define multiple ranges, you must enter a space after the first entry before the comma (,). The space after the comma is optional, for example:

gigabitethernet0/3, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

duplex

Use the duplex interface configuration command to specify the duplex mode of operation for a port. Use the no form of this command to return the port to its default value.

duplex {auto | full | half}

no duplex

Syntax Description

auto

Enable automatic duplex configuration; port automatically detects whether it should run in full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the attached device mode.

full

Enable full-duplex mode.

half

Enable half-duplex mode (only for interfaces operating at 10 or 100 Mb/s). You cannot configure half-duplex mode for interfaces operating at 1000 or 10,000 Mb/s.


Defaults

The default is auto for Gigabit Ethernet ports.

You cannot configure the duplex mode on 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports; it is always full.

The default is full for the 100BASE- LX small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.

The default is half for the 100BASE-FX SFP modules.

Duplex options are not supported on the 1000BASE-x (where -x is -BX, -CWDM, -LX, -SX, or -ZX) SFP modules.

For information about which SFP modules are supported on your switch, see the product release notes.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

For Gigabit Ethernet ports, setting the port to auto has the same effect as specifying full if the attached device does not autonegotiate the duplex parameter.


Note Half-duplex mode is supported on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if the duplex mode is auto and the connected device is operating at half duplex. However, you cannot configure these interfaces to operate in half-duplex mode.


Certain ports can be configured to be either full duplex or half duplex. Applicability of this command depends on the device to which the switch is attached.

If both ends of the line support autonegotiation, we highly recommend using the default autonegotiation settings. If one interface supports autonegotiation and the other end does not, configure duplex and speed on both interfaces; do use the auto setting on the supported side.

If the speed is set to auto, the switch negotiates with the device at the other end of the link for the speed setting and then forces the speed setting to the negotiated value. The duplex setting remains as configured on each end of the link, which could result in a duplex setting mismatch.

You can configure the duplex setting when the speed is set to auto.


Caution Changing the interface speed and duplex mode configuration might shut down and re-enable the interface during the reconfiguration.

For guidelines on setting the switch speed and duplex parameters, see the "Configuring Interface Characteristics" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an interface for full-duplex operation:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1 
Switch(config-if)# duplex full

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces privileged EXEC command.

errdisable detect cause

Use the errdisable detect cause global configuration command to enable error-disabled detection for a specific cause or all causes. Use the no form of this command to disable the error-disabled detection feature.

errdisable detect cause {all | bpduguard | dtp-flap | gbic-invalid | l2ptguard |link-flap | loopback | pagp-flap | sfp-config-mismatch | small-frame}

no errdisable detect cause {all | bpduguard |dtp-flap | gbic-invalid | l2ptguard |link-flap | loopback | pagp-flap | sfp-config-mismatch | small-frame}

For the BPDU guard feature, you can use this command to globally configure the switch to shut down just the offending VLAN on the port when a violation occurs, instead of shutting down the entire port.

When the per-VLAN error-disable feature is turned off and a BPDU guard violation occurs, the entire port is disabled. Use the no form of this command to disable the per-VLAN error-disable feature.

errdisable detect cause bpduguard shutdown vlan

no errdisable detect cause bpduguard shutdown vlan

Syntax Description

all

Enable error detection for all error-disabled causes.

bpduguard shutdown vlan

Enable per-VLAN error-disable for BPDU guard.

dtp-flap

Enable error detection for the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) flapping.

gbic-invalid

Enable error detection for an invalid Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module.

Note This error refers to an invalid small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module.

l2ptguard

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A cause (link-flap, dhcp-rate-limit, and so forth) is the reason for the error-disabled state. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in an error-disabled state, an operational state that is similar to a link-down state.

When a port is error-disabled, it is effectively shut down, and no traffic is sent or received on the port. For the BPDU guard feature, you can configure the switch to shut down just the offending VLAN on the port when a violation occurs, instead of shutting down the entire port.

If you set a recovery mechanism for the cause by entering the errdisable recovery global configuration command for the cause, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation when all causes have timed out. If you do not set a recovery mechanism, you must enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown commands to manually recover an interface from the error-disabled state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable error-disabled detection for the link-flap error-disabled cause:

Switch(config)# errdisable detect cause link-flap

This command shows how to globally configure BPDU guard for per-VLAN error disable:

Switch(config)# errdisable detect cause bpduguard shutdown vlan

Usage Guidelines

A cause (all, bpduguard, and so forth) is defined as the reason that the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in the error-disabled state, an operational state similar to link-down state.

When a port is error-disabled, it is effectively shut down, and no traffic is sent or received on the port. For the BPDU guard and port-security features, you can configure the switch to shut down just the offending VLAN on the port when a violation occurs, instead of shutting down the entire port.

If you do not enable the recovery for the cause, the interface stays in the error-disabled state until you enter the shutdown and the no shutdown interface configuration commands. If you enable the recovery for a cause, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation again when all the causes have timed out.

Otherwise, you must enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown commands to manually recover an interface from the error-disabled state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the recovery timer for the BPDU guard error-disabled cause:

Switch(config)# errdisable recovery cause bpduguard

flowcontrol

Use the flowcontrol interface configuration command to set the receive flow-control state for an interface. When flow control send is operable and on for a device and it detects any congestion at its end, it notifies the link partner or the remote device of the congestion by sending a pause frame. When flow control receive is on for a device and it receives a pause frame, it stops sending any data packets. This prevents any loss of data packets during the congestion period.

Use the receive off keywords to disable flow control.

flowcontrol receive {desired | off | on}


Note The switch can receive, but not send, pause frames.


Syntax Description

receive

Set whether the interface can receive flow-control packets from a remote device.

desired

Allow an interface to operate with an attached device that is required to send flow-control packets or with an attached device that is not required to but can send flow-control packets.

off

Turn off the ability of an attached device to send flow-control packets to an interface.

on

Allow an interface to operate with an attached device that is required to send flow-control packets or with an attached device that is not required to but can send flow-control packets.


Defaults

Usage Guidelines

The switch does not support sending flow-control pause frames.

Note that the on and desired keywords have the same result.

When you use the flowcontrol command to set a port to control traffic rates during congestion, you are setting flow control on a port to one of these conditions:

receive on or desired: The port cannot send pause frames, but can operate with an attached device that is required to or is able to send pause frames. The port can receive pause frames.

receive off: Flow control does not operate in either direction. In case of congestion, no indication is given to the link partner, and no pause frames are sent or received by either device.

Table 2-1 shows the flow control results on local and remote ports for a combination of settings. The table assumes that receive desired has the same results as using the receive on keywords.

Usage Guidelines

For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you do not have to create a port-channel interface first before assigning a physical port to a channel group. Instead, you can use the channel-group interface configuration command. It automatically creates the port-channel interface when the channel group gets its first physical port. If you create the port-channel interface first, the channel-group-number can be the same as the port-channel-number, or you can use a new number. If you use a new number, the channel-group command dynamically creates a new port channel.

Only one port channel in a channel group is allowed.

Follow these guidelines when you use the interface port-channel command:

If you want to use the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), you must configure it only on the physical port and not on the port-channel interface.

You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC or show etherchannel channel-group-number detail privileged EXEC command.

For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to create a port-channel interface with a port channel number of 5:

Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you enter interface range configuration mode, all interface parameters you enter are attributed to all interfaces within the range.

For VLANs, you can use the interface range command only on existing VLAN switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). To display VLAN SVIs, enter the show running-config privileged EXEC command. VLANs not displayed cannot be used in the interface range command. The commands entered under interface range command are applied to all existing VLAN SVIs in the range.

All configuration changes made to an interface range are saved to NVRAM, but the interface range itself is not saved to NVRAM.

You can enter the interface range in two ways:

Specifying up to five interface ranges

Specifying a previously defined interface-range macro

All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs. However, you can define up to five interface ranges with a single command, with each range separated by a comma.

Valid values for port-range type and interface:

vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, where VLAN ID is from 1 to 4094

gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where module is always 0

tengigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where module is always 0

For physical interfaces:

module is always 0

the range is type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2)

port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 48


Note When you use the interface range command with port channels, the first and last port channel number in the range must be active port channels.


When you define a range, you must enter a space between the first entry and the hyphen (-):

interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2

When you define multiple ranges, you must still enter a space after the first entry and before the comma (,):

interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 2, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

You cannot specify both a macro and an interface range in the same command.

You can also specify a single interface in port-range. The command is then similar to the interface interface-id global configuration command.

For more information about configuring interface ranges, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to use the interface range command to enter interface-range configuration mode to apply commands to two ports:

Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)#

This example shows how to use a port-range macro macro1 for the same function. The advantage is that you can reuse macro1 until you delete it.

Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# interface range macro macro1
Switch(config-if-range)#

interface vlan

Use the interface vlan global configuration command to create or access a dynamic switch virtual interface (SVI) and to enter interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete an SVI.

interface vlan vlan-id

vlan-id

VLAN number. The range is 1 to 4094.


Defaults

The default VLAN interface is VLAN 1.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SVIs are created the first time that you enter the interface vlan vlan-id command for a particular VLAN. The vlan-id corresponds to the VLAN-tag associated with data frames on an IEEE 802.1Q encapsulated trunk or the VLAN ID configured for an access port.


Note When you create an SVI, it does not become active until it is associated with a physical port.


If you delete an SVI by entering the no interface vlan vlan-id command, the deleted interface is no longer visible in the output from the show interfaces privileged EXEC command.


Note You cannot delete the VLAN 1 interface.


You can re-instate a deleted SVI by entering the interface vlan vlan-id command for the deleted interface. The interface comes back up, but the previous configuration is gone.

The interrelationship between the number of SVIs configured on a switch and the number of other features being configured might have an impact on CPU utilization due to hardware limitations. You can use the sdm prefer global configuration command to reallocate system hardware resources based on templates and feature tables.

Examples

This example shows how to create a new SVI with VLAN ID 23 and to enter interface configuration mode:

Switch(config)# interface vlan 23
Switch(config-if)#

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces and show interfaces vlan vlan-id privileged EXEC commands.

ip access-group {access-list-number | name} {in}

no ip access-group [access-list-number | name] {in}

Syntax Description

access-list-number

The number of the IP access control list (ACL). The range is 1 to 199 or 1300 to 2699.

Defaults

No access list is applied to the interface.

Command Modes

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can apply named or numbered standard or extended IP access lists to an interface. To define an access list by name, use the ip access-list global configuration command. To define a numbered access list, use the access list global configuration command. You can used numbered standard access lists ranging from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999 or extended access lists ranging from 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699.

These are limitations for applying an access list to Layer 2 interfaces (port ACLs):

You can only apply ACLs in the inbound direction; the out keyword is not supported for Layer 2 interfaces.

You can only apply one IP ACL per interface.

Layer 2 interfaces Port ACLs do not support logging; if the log keyword is specified in the IP ACL, it is ignored.

An IP ACL applied to a Layer 2 interface only filters IP packets.

For standard inbound access lists, after the switch receives a packet, it checks the source address of the packet against the access list. IP extended access lists can optionally check other fields in the packet, such as the destination IP address, protocol type, or port numbers. If the access list permits the packet, the switch continues to process the packet. If the access list denies the packet, the switch discards the packet. If the specified access list does not exist, all packets are passed.

Examples

This example shows how to apply IP access list 101 to inbound packets on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip interface, show access-lists, or show ip access-lists privileged EXEC command.

ip address

Use the ip address interface configuration command to set an IP address for the switch or an IP address for each switch virtual interface (SVI) on the switch. Use the no form of this command to remove an IP address or to disable IP processing.

ip address ip-address subnet-mask [secondary]

no ip address [ip-address subnet-mask] [secondary]

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address.

subnet-mask

Mask for the associated IP subnet.

secondary

(Optional) Specifies that the configured address is a secondary IP address. If this keyword is omitted, the configured address is the primary IP address.


Defaults

No IP address is defined.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If you remove the switch IP address through a Telnet session, your connection to the switch will be lost.

Hosts can find subnet masks using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Mask Request message. Routers respond to this request with an ICMP Mask Reply message.

You can disable IP processing on a particular interface by removing its IP address with the no ip address command. If the switch detects another host using one of its IP addresses, it will send an error message to the console.

You can use the optional keyword secondary to specify an unlimited number of secondary addresses. Secondary addresses are treated like primary addresses, except the system never generates datagrams other than routing updates with secondary source addresses. IP broadcasts and ARP requests are handled properly, as are interface routes in the IP routing table.


Note If any router on a network segment uses a secondary address, all other devices on that same segment must also use a secondary address from the same network or subnet. Inconsistent use of secondary addresses on a network segment can very quickly cause routing loops.


If your switch receives its IP address from a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or a DHCP server and you remove the switch IP address by using the no ip address command, IP processing is disabled, and the BOOTP or the DHCP server cannot reassign the address.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the IP address for the Layer 2 switch on a subnetted network:

Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.20.128.2 255.255.255.0

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

ip igmp max-groups

Use the ip igmp max-groups interface configuration command to set the maximum number of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups that a Layer 2 interface can join or to configure the IGMP throttling action when the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table. Use the no form of this command to set the maximum back to the default, which is to have no maximum limit, or to return to the default throttling action, which is to drop the report.

ip igmp max-groups {number | action {deny | replace}}

no ip igmp max-groups {number | action}

Syntax Description

number

The maximum number of IGMP groups that an interface can join. The range is 0 to 4294967294. The default is no limit.

action deny

When the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP snooping forwarding table, drop the next IGMP join report. This is the default action.

action replace

When the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP snooping forwarding table, replace the existing group with the new group for which the IGMP report was received.


Defaults

The default maximum number of groups is no limit.

After the switch learns the maximum number of IGMP group entries on an interface, the default throttling action is to drop the next IGMP report that the interface receives and to not add an entry for the IGMP group to the interface.

Command Modes

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can use this command only on Layer 2 physical interfaces and on logical EtherChannel interfaces. You cannot set IGMP maximum groups for routed ports, switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) or ports that belong to an EtherChannel group.

Follow these guidelines when configuring the IGMP throttling action:

If you configure the throttling action as deny and set the maximum group limitation, the entries that were previously in the forwarding table are not removed but are aged out. After these entries are aged out, when the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table, the switch drops the next IGMP report received on the interface.

If you configure the throttling action as replace and set the maximum group limitation, the entries that were previously in the forwarding table are removed. When the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table, the switch replaces a randomly selected multicast entry with the received IGMP report.

When the maximum group limitation is set to the default (no maximum), entering the ip igmp max-groups {deny | replace} command has no effect.

Examples

This example shows how to limit to 25 the number of IGMP groups that a port can join:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups 25

This example shows how to configure the switch to replace the existing group with the new group for which the IGMP report was received when the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups action replace

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable IGMP snooping to detect the IGMP version and IP address of a device that sends IGMP query messages, which is also called a querier.

By default, the IGMP snooping querier is configured to detect devices that use IGMP Version 2 (IGMPv2) but does not detect clients that are using IGMP Version 1 (IGMPv1). You can manually configure the max-response-time value when devices use IGMPv2. You cannot configure the max-response-time when devices use IGMPv1. (The value cannot be configured and is set to zero).

Non-RFC compliant devices running IGMPv1 might reject IGMP general query messages that have a non-zero value as the max-response-time value. If you want the devices to accept the IGMP general query messages, configure the IGMP snooping querier to run IGMPv1.

VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in IGMP snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally enable the IGMP snooping querier feature:

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping querier

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

IGMP report suppression is supported only when the multicast query has IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports. This feature is not supported when the query includes IGMPv3 reports.

The switch uses IGMP report suppression to forward only one IGMP report per multicast router query to multicast devices. When IGMP router suppression is enabled (the default), the switch sends the first IGMP report from all hosts for a group to all the multicast routers. The switch does not send the remaining IGMP reports for the group to the multicast routers. This feature prevents duplicate reports from being sent to the multicast devices.

If the multicast router query includes requests only for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports, the switch forwards only the first IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report from all hosts for a group to all the multicast routers. If the multicast router query also includes requests for IGMPv3 reports, the switch forwards all IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 reports for a group to the multicast devices.

If you disable IGMP report suppression by entering the no ip igmp snooping report-suppression command, all IGMP reports are forwarded to all the multicast routers.

Examples

This example shows how to disable report suppression:

Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping report-suppression

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip igmp snooping privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Use ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count global configuration command to control the time that multicast traffic is flooded after a TCN event. If you set the TCN flood query count to 1 by using the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count command, the flooding stops after receiving 1 general query. If you set the count to 7, the flooding of multicast traffic due to the TCN event lasts until 7 general queries are received. Groups are relearned based on the general queries received during the TCN event.

Use the ip igmp snooping tcn query solicit global configuration command to enable the switch to send the global leave message whether or not it is the spanning-tree root. This command also speeds the process of recovering from the flood mode caused during a TCN event.

Examples

This example shows how to specify 7 as the number of IGMP general queries for which the multicast traffic is flooded:

Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count 7

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When MLD snooping is globally disabled, it is disabled on all the existing VLAN interfaces. When you globally enable MLD snooping, it is enabled on all VLAN interfaces that are in the default state (enabled). VLAN configuration will override global configuration on interfaces on which MLD snooping has been disabled.

If MLD snooping is globally disabled, you cannot enable it on a VLAN. If MLD snooping is globally enabled, you can disable it on individual VLANs.

When the IPv6 multicast router is a Catalyst 6500 switch and you are using extended VLANs (in the range 1006 to 4094), IPv6 MLD snooping must be enabled on the extended VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch in order for the Catalyst 2360 switch to receive queries on the VLAN. For normal-range VLANs (1 to 1005), it is not necessary to enable IPv6 MLD snooping on the VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally enable MLD snooping:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

In MLD snooping, the IPv6 multicast router periodically sends out queries to hosts belonging to the multicast group. If a host wants to leave a multicast group, it can silently leave or it can respond to the query with a Multicast Listener Done message (equivalent to an IGMP Leave message). When Immediate Leave is not configured (which it should not be if multiple clients for a group exist on the same port), the configured last-listener query count determines the number of MASQs that are sent before an MLD client is aged out.

When the last-listener query count is set for a VLAN, this count overrides the value configured globally.When the VLAN count is not configured (set to the default of 0), the global count is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally set the last-listener query count:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping last-listener-query-count 1

This example shows how to set the last-listener query count for VLAN 10:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping vlan 10 last-listener-query-count 3

The default VLAN query interval (maximum response time) is 0 (the global count is used).

Command Modes

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

In MLD snooping, when the IPv6 multicast router receives an MLD leave message, it sends out queries to hosts belonging to the multicast group. If there are no responses from a port to a MASQ for a length of time, the router deletes the port from the membership database of the multicast address. The last listener query interval is the maximum time that the router waits before deleting a nonresponsive port from the multicast group.

When a VLAN query interval is set, this overrides the global query interval. When the VLAN interval is set at 0, the global value is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally set the last-listener query interval to 2 seconds:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping last-listener-query-interval 2000

This example shows how to set the last-listener query interval for VLAN 1 to 5.5 seconds:

Usage Guidelines

MLD snooping listener message suppression is equivalent to IGMP snooping report suppression. When enabled, received MLDv1 reports to a group are forwarded to IPv6 multicast routers only once in every report-forward time. This prevents the forwarding of duplicate reports.

Examples

This example shows how to enable MLD snooping listener-message-suppression:

Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Robustness is measured in terms of the number of MLDv1 queries sent with no response before a port is removed from a multicast group. A port is deleted when there are no MLDv1 reports received for the configured number of MLDv1 queries. The global value determines the number of queries that the switch waits before deleting a listener that does not respond and applies to all VLANs that do not have a VLAN value set.

The robustness value configured for a VLAN overrides the global value. If the VLAN robustness value is 0 (the default), the global value is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the global robustness variable so that the switch sends out three queries before it deletes a listener port that does not respond:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping robustness-variable 3

This example shows how to configure the robustness variable for VLAN 1. This value overrides the global configuration for the VLAN:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping vlan 1 robustness-variable 1

Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When TCN solicitation is enabled by using the ipv6 mld snooping tcn query solicit global configuration command, MLDv1 snooping sets the VLAN to flood all IPv6 multicast traffic with a configured number of MLDv1 queries before it begins sending multicast data only to selected ports. You set this value by using the ipv6 mld snooping tcn flood query count global configuration command. The default is to send two queries. The switch also generates MLDv1 global Done messages with valid link-local IPv6 source addresses when the switch becomes the STP root in the VLAN or when it is configured by the user. This is same as done in IGMP snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to enable TCN query soliciting:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping tcn query solicit.

This example shows how to set the flood query count to 5:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping tcn flood query count 5.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The lacp port-priority interface configuration command determines which ports are bundled and which ports are put in hot-standby mode when there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel group.

An LACP channel group can have up to 16 Ethernet ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active, and up to eight ports can be in standby mode.

In port-priority comparisons, a numerically lower value has a higher priority: When there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel-group, the eight ports with the numerically lowest values (highest priority values) for LACP port priority are bundled into the channel group, and the lower-priority ports are put in hot-standby mode. If two or more ports have the same LACP port priority (for example, they are configured with the default setting of 65535) an internal value for the port number determines the priority.


Note The LACP port priorities are only effective if the ports are on the switch that controls the LACP link. See the lacp system-priority global configuration command for determining which switch controls the link.


Use the show lacp internal privileged EXEC command to display LACP port priorities and internal port number values.

For information about configuring LACP on physical ports, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the LACP port priority on a port:

Usage Guidelines

The lacp system-priority command determines which switch in an LACP link controls port priorities.

An LACP channel group can have up to 16 Ethernet ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active, and up to eight ports can be in standby mode. When there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel-group, the switch on the controlling end of the link uses port priorities to determine which ports are bundled into the channel and which ports are put in hot-standby mode. Port priorities on the other switch (the noncontrolling end of the link) are ignored.

In priority comparisons, numerically lower values have higher priority. Therefore, the system with the numerically lower value (higher priority value) for LACP system priority becomes the controlling system. If both switches have the same LACP system priority (for example, they are both configured with the default setting of 32768), the LACP system ID (the switch MAC address) determines which switch is in control.

The lacp system-priority command applies to all LACP EtherChannels on the switch.

Use the show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command to see which ports are in the hot-standby mode (denoted with an H port-state flag in the output display).

For more information about configuring LACP on physical ports, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to set the LACP system priority:

Switch(config)# lacp system-priority 20000

You can verify your settings by entering the show lacp sys-id privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Use the link state group interface configuration command to configure a port as an upstream or downstream interface for the specified link-state group. If the group number is omitted, the default group number is 1.

To enable link-state tracking, create a link-state group, and specify the interfaces that are assigned to the link-state group. An interface can be an aggregation of ports (an EtherChannel), a single physical port in access or trunk mode, or a routed port. In a link-state group, these interfaces are bundled together. The downstream interfaces are bound to the upstream interfaces. Interfaces connected to servers are referred to as downstream interfaces, and interfaces connected to distribution switches and network devices are referred to as upstream interfaces.

For more information about the interactions between the downstream and upstream interfaces, see the "Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking" chapter of the software configuration guide for this release.

Follow these guidelines to avoid configuration problems:

An interface that is defined as an upstream interface cannot also be defined as a downstream interface in the same or a different link-state group. The reverse is also true.

An interface cannot be a member of more than one link-state group.

You can configure only two link-state groups per switch.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the interfaces as upstream in group 2:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/11 - 14 
Switch(config-if-range)# link state group 2 upstream
Switch(config-if-range)# end
Switch(config-if)# end

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The log file is stored in ASCII text format in an internal buffer on the switch. You can access logged system messages by using the switch command-line interface (CLI) or by saving them to a properly configured syslog server. If the switch fails, the log is lost unless you had previously saved it to flash memory by using the logging file flash:filename global configuration command.

After saving the log to flash memory by using the logging file flash:filename global configuration command, you can use the more flash:filename privileged EXEC command to display its contents.

The command rejects the minimum file size if it is greater than the maximum file size minus 1024; the minimum file size then becomes the maximum file size minus 1024.

Specifying a level causes messages at that level and numerically lower levels to be displayed.

Examples

This example shows how to save informational log messages to a file in flash memory:

Switch(config)# logging file flash:logfile informational

You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when using this feature:

Multicast MAC addresses, broadcast MAC addresses, and router MAC addresses are not supported. Packets that are forwarded to the CPU are also not supported.

If you add a unicast MAC address as a static address and configure unicast MAC address filtering, the switch either adds the MAC address as a static address or drops packets with that MAC address, depending on which command was entered last. The second command that you entered overrides the first command.

For example, if you enter the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface interface-id global configuration command followed by the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id drop command, the switch drops packets with the specified MAC address as a source or destination.

If you enter the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id drop global configuration command followed by the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface interface-id command, the switch adds the MAC address as a static address.

Examples

This example shows how to enable unicast MAC address filtering and to configure the switch to drop packets that have a source or destination address of c2f3.220a.12f4. When a packet is received in VLAN 4 with this MAC address as its source or destination, the packet is dropped:

Switch(config)# mac address-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 drop

This example shows how to disable unicast MAC address filtering:

Switch(config)# no mac address-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 

You can verify your setting by entering the show mac address-table static privileged EXEC command.

match (class-map configuration)

Use the match class-map configuration command to define the match criteria to classify traffic. Use the no form of this command to remove the match criteria.

match {access-group acl-index-or-name | input-interface interface-id-list | ip dscp dscp-list | ip precedence ip-precedence-list}

no match {access-group acl-index-or-name | input-interface interface-id-list | ip dscp dscp-list | ip precedence ip-precedence-list}

Syntax Description

access-group acl-index-or-name

Number or name of an IP standard or extended access control list (ACL). For an IP standard ACL, the ACL index range is 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999. For an IP extended ACL, the ACL index range is 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699.

input-interface interface-id-list

Specify the physical ports to which the interface-level class map in a hierarchical policy map applies. This command can only be used in the child-level policy map and must be the only match condition in the child-level policy map. You can specify up to six entries in the list by specifying a port (counts as one entry), a list of ports separated by a space (each port counts as an entry), or a range of ports separated by a hyphen (counts as two entries).

ip dscp dscp-list

List of up to eight IP Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values to match against incoming packets. Separate each value with a space. The range is 0 to 63. You also can enter a mnemonic name for a commonly-used value.

ip precedence ip-precedence-list

List of up to eight IP-precedence values to match against incoming packets. Separate each value with a space. The range is 0 to 7. You also can enter a mnemonic name for a commonly-used value


Defaults

No match criteria are defined.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The match command is used to specify which fields in the incoming packets are examined to classify the packets. Only the IP access group matching to the Ether Type/Len are supported.

Is above statement correct?

If you enter the class-map {match-all | match-any} class-map-name global configuration command, you can enter these match commands:

match access-group acl-name


Note The ACL must be an extended named ACL.


match input-interface interface-id-list

match ip dscp dscp-list

match ip precedence ip-precedence-list

You cannot enter the match access-group acl-index command.

To define packet classification on a physical-port basis, only one match command per class map is supported. In this situation, the match-all and match-any keywords are equivalent.

For the match ip dscp dscp-list or the match ip precedence ip-precedence-list command, you can enter a mnemonic name for a commonly used value. For example, you can enter the match ip dscp af11 command, which is the same as entering the match ip dscp 10 command. You can enter the match ip precedence critical command, which is the same as entering the match ip precedence 5 command. For a list of supported mnemonics, enter the match ip dscp ? or the match ip precedence ? command to see the command-line help strings.

Use the input-interface interface-id-list keyword when you are configuring an interface-level class map in a hierarchical policy map. For the interface-id-list, you can specify up to six entries.

Examples

This example shows how to create a class map called class2, which matches all the incoming traffic with DSCP values of 10, 11, and 12:

Switch(config)# class-map class2
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip dscp 10 11 12
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This example shows how to create a class map called class3, which matches all the incoming traffic with IP-precedence values of 5, 6, and 7:

Switch(config)# class-map class3
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip precedence 5 6 7 
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This example shows how to delete the IP-precedence match criteria and to classify traffic using acl1:

Switch(config)# class-map class2
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip precedence 5 6 7 
Switch(config-cmap)# no match ip precedence
Switch(config-cmap)# match access-group acl1
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This example shows how to specify a list of physical ports to which an interface-level class map in a hierarchical policy map applies:

Switch(config)# class-map match-all class4
Switch(config-cmap)# match input-interface gigabitethernet0/1 gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This example shows how to specify a range of physical ports to which an interface-level class map in a hierarchical policy map applies:

Switch(config)# class-map match-all class4
Switch(config-cmap)# match input-interface gigabitethernet0/1 - gigabitethernet0/5
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

When you enable auto-MDIX on an interface, you must also set the interface speed and duplex to auto so that the feature operates correctly.

When auto-MDIX (and autonegotiation of speed and duplex) is enabled on one or both of connected interfaces, link up occurs, even if the cable type (straight-through or crossover) is incorrect.

Auto-MDIX is supported on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Mb/s interfaces and on 10/100/1000BASE-TX small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module interfaces. It is not supported on 1000BASE-SX or -LX SFP module interfaces.

Examples

This example shows how to enable auto-MDIX on a port:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# speed auto
Switch(config-if)# duplex auto
Switch(config-if)# mdix auto
Switch(config-if)# end

You can verify the operational state of auto-MDIX on the interface by entering the show controllers ethernet-controller interface-id phy privileged EXEC command.

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The switch has a USB mini-Type B console connector and a USB console connector. Console output displays on devices connected to both connectors, but console input is active on only one input at a time, with the USB connector taking precedence. When you configure the media-type rj45 line configuration command, USB console operation is disabled and input always remains with the RJ-45 console.

Entering the no media-type rj45 line configuration command immediately activates the USB console when it is connected to a powered-on device with a terminal emulation application.

Removing the USB connector always enables input from the RJ-45 connector.

Examples

This example configures the switch to always use the RJ-45 console input:

Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# media-type rj45

This example configures the switch to always use the USB console input if there is a connected powered-on device:

Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config-line)# no media-type rj45

You can verify your setting by entering the show running config privileged EXEC command.

mls qos

Use the mls qos global configuration command to enable quality of service (QoS) for the entire switch. When the mls qos command is entered, QoS is enabled with the default parameters on all ports in the system. Use the no form of this command to reset all the QoS-related statistics and to disable the QoS features for the entire switch.

mls qos

no mls qos

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

QoS is disabled. There is no concept of trusted or untrusted ports because the packets are not modified (the CoS, DSCP, and IP precedence values in the packet are not changed). Traffic is switched in pass-through mode (packets are switched without any rewrites and classified as best effort without any policing).

When QoS is enabled with the mls qos global configuration command and all other QoS settings are set to their defaults, traffic is classified as best effort (the DSCP and CoS value is set to 0) without any policing. No policy maps are configured. The default port trust state on all ports is untrusted. The default ingress and egress queue settings are in effect.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

QoS must be globally enabled to use QoS classification, policing, mark down or drop, queueing, and traffic shaping features. You can create a policy-map and attach it to a port before entering the mls qos command. However, until you enter the mls qos command, QoS processing is disabled.

Policy-maps and class-maps used to configure QoS are not deleted from the configuration by the no mls qos command, but entries corresponding to policy maps are removed from the switch hardware to save system resources. To re-enable QoS with the previous configurations, use the mls qos command.

Toggling the QoS status of the switch with this command modifies (reallocates) the sizes of the queues. During the queue size modification, the queue is temporarily shut down during the hardware reconfiguration, and the switch drops newly arrived packets for this queue.

Examples

This example shows how to enable QoS on the switch:

Switch(config)# mls qos

You can verify your settings by entering the show mls qos privileged EXEC command.

mls qos cos

Use the mls qos cos interface configuration command to define the default class of service (CoS) value of a port or to assign the default CoS to all incoming packets on the port. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

mls qos cos {default-cos | override}

no mls qos cos {default-cos | override}

Syntax Description

default-cos

Assign a default CoS value to a port. If packets are untagged, the default CoS value becomes the packet CoS value. The CoS range is 0 to 7.

override

Override the CoS of the incoming packets, and apply the default CoS value on the port to all incoming packets.


Defaults

The default CoS value for a port is 0.

CoS override is disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can use the default value to assign a CoS and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value to all incoming packets that are untagged (if the incoming packet does not have a CoS value). You also can assign a default CoS and DSCP value to all incoming packets by using the override keyword.

Use the override keyword when all incoming packets on certain ports deserve higher or lower priority than packets entering from other ports. Even if a port is previously set to trust DSCP, CoS, or IP precedence, this command overrides the previously configured trust state, and all the incoming CoS values are assigned the default CoS value configured with the mls qos cos command. If an incoming packet is tagged, the CoS value of the packet is modified with the default CoS of the port at the ingress port.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the default port CoS to 4 on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mls qos trust cos
Switch(config-if)# mls qos cos 4

This example shows how to assign all the packets entering a port to the default port CoS value of 4 on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mls qos cos 4
Switch(config-if)# mls qos cos override

You can verify your settings by entering the show mls qos interface privileged EXEC command.

Use the mls qos queue-set output buffers global configuration command to allocate buffers to a queue-set (four egress queues per port). Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

mls qos queue-set output qset-id buffers allocation1 ... allocation4

no mls qos queue-set output qset-id buffers

Syntax Description

qset-id

ID of the queue-set. Each port belongs to a queue-set, which defines all the characteristics of the four egress queues per port. The range is 1 to 2.

allocation1 ... allocation4

Buffer space allocation (percentage) for each queue (four values for queues 1 to 4). For allocation1, allocation3, and allocation4, the range is 0 to 99. For allocation2, the range is 1 to 100 (including the CPU buffer). Separate each value with a space.


Defaults

All allocation values are equally mapped among the four queues (25, 25, 25, 25). Each queue has 1/4 of the buffer space.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Specify four allocation values, and separate each with a space.

Allocate buffers according to the importance of the traffic; for example, give a large percentage of the buffer to the queue with the highest-priority traffic.

To configure different classes of traffic with different characteristics, use this command with the mls qos queue-set output qset-id threshold global configuration command.


Note The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your QoS solution.


Examples

This example shows how to map a port to queue-set 2. It allocates 40 percent of the buffer space to egress queue 1 and 20 percent to egress queues 2, 3, and 4:

Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 buffers 40 20 20 20
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# queue-set 2

You can verify your settings by entering the show mls qos interface [interface-id] buffers or the show mls qos queue-set privileged EXEC command.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use the mls qos queue-set output qset-id buffers global configuration command to allocate a fixed number of buffers to the four queues in a queue-set.

The drop-threshold percentages can exceed 100 percent and can be up to the maximum (if the maximum threshold exceeds 100 percent).

While buffer ranges allow individual queues in the queue-set to use more of the common pool when available, the maximum number of packets for each queue is still internally limited to 400 percent, or 4 times the allocated number of buffers. One packet can use one 1 or more buffers.


Note The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your QoS solution.


The switch uses a buffer allocation scheme to reserve a minimum amount of buffers for each egress queue, to prevent any queue or port from consuming all the buffers and depriving other queues, and to decide whether to grant buffer space to a requesting queue. The switch decides whether the target queue has not consumed more buffers than its reserved amount (under-limit), whether it has consumed all of its maximum buffers (over-limit), and whether the common pool is empty (no free buffers) or not empty (free buffers). If the queue is not over-limit, the switch can allocate buffer space from the reserved pool or from the common pool (if it is not empty). If there are no free buffers in the common pool or if the queue is over-limit, the switch drops the frame.

Examples

This example shows how to map a port to queue-set 2. It configures the drop thresholds for queue 2 to 40 and 60 percent of the allocated memory, guarantees (reserves) 100 percent of the allocated memory, and configures 200 percent as the maximum memory this queue can have before packets are dropped:

Switch(config)# mls qos queue-set output 2 threshold 2 40 60 100 200
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# queue-set 2

You can verify your settings by entering the show mls qos interface [interface-id] buffers or the show mls qos queue-set privileged EXEC command.

Note The egress queue default settings are suitable for most situations. You should change them only when you have a thorough understanding of the egress queues and if these settings do not meet your quality of service (QoS) solution.


You can assign two weighted tail-drop (WTD) threshold percentages to an egress queue by using the mls qos queue-set output qset-id threshold global configuration command.

You can map each CoS value to a different queue and threshold combination, allowing the frame to follow different behavior.

Examples

This example shows how to map a port to queue-set 1. It maps CoS values 0 to 3 to egress queue 1 and to threshold ID 1. It configures the drop thresholds for queue 1 to 50 and 70 percent of the allocated memory, guarantees (reserves) 100 percent of the allocated memory, and configures 200 percent as the maximum memory that this queue can have before packets are dropped.

Usage Guidelines

Packets entering a quality of service (QoS) domain are classified at the edge of the domain. When the packets are classified at the edge, the switch port within the QoS domain can be configured to one of the trusted states because there is no need to classify the packets at every switch within the domain. Use this command to specify whether the port is trusted and which fields of the packet to use to classify traffic.

no monitor session session_number source {interface interface-id [, | -] [both | rx | tx]} | {vlan vlan-id [, | -] [both | rx | tx]}| {remote vlan vlan-id}

Syntax Description

session_number

Specify the session number identified with the SPAN or RSPAN session. The range is 1 to 66.

destination

Specify the SPAN or RSPAN destination. A destination must be a physical port.

interface interface-id

Specify the destination or source interface for a SPAN or RSPAN session. Valid interfaces are physical ports (including type, module, and port number). For source interface, port channel is also a valid interface type, and the valid range is 1 to 48.

encapsulation replicate

(Optional) Specify that the destination interface replicates the source interface encapsulation method. If not selected, the default is to send packets in native form (untagged).

These keywords are valid only for local SPAN. For RSPAN, the RSPAN VLAN ID overwrites the original VLAN ID; therefore, packets are always sent untagged.

ingress

(Optional) Enable ingress traffic forwarding.

dot1q vlan vlan-id

Accept incoming packets with IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation with the specified VLAN as the default VLAN.

untagged vlan vlan-id

Accept incoming packets with untagged encapsulation with the specified VLAN as the default VLAN.

vlan vlan-id

When used with only the ingress keyword, set default VLAN for ingress traffic.

remote vlan vlan-id

Specify the remote VLAN for an RSPAN source or destination session. The range is 2 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.

The RSPAN VLAN cannot be VLAN 1 (the default VLAN) or VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 (reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs).

,

(Optional) Specify a series of interfaces or VLANs, or separate a range of interfaces or VLANs from a previous range. Enter a space before and after the comma.

-

(Optional) Specify a range of interfaces or VLANs. Enter a space before and after the hyphen.

filter vlan vlan-id

Specify a list of VLANs as filters on trunk source ports to limit SPAN source traffic to specific VLANs. The vlan-id range is 1 to 4094.

source

Specify the SPAN or RSPAN source. A source can be a physical port, a port channel, or a VLAN.

both, rx, tx

(Optional) Specify the traffic direction to monitor. If you do not specify a traffic direction, the source interface sends both transmitted and received traffic.

source vlan vlan-id

Specify the SPAN source interface as a VLAN ID. The range is 1 to 4094.

all, local, remote

Specify all, local, or remote with the no monitor session command to clear all SPAN and RSPAN, all local SPAN, or all RSPAN sessions.


Defaults

No monitor sessions are configured.

On a source interface, the default is to monitor both received and transmitted traffic.

On a trunk interface used as a source port, all VLANs are monitored.

If encapsulation replicate is not specified on a local SPAN destination port, packets are sent in native form with no encapsulation tag.

Ingress forwarding is disabled on destination ports.

Command Modes

Modification

12.2(53)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Traffic that enters or leaves source ports or source VLANs can be monitored by using SPAN or RSPAN. Traffic routed to source ports or source VLANs cannot be monitored.

You can set a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have a total of 66 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch.

You can have a maximum of 64 destination ports on a switch.

Each session can include multiple ingress or egress source ports or VLANs, but you cannot combine source ports and source VLANs in a single session. Each session can include multiple destination ports.

When you use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) to analyze network traffic in a VLAN or set of VLANs, all active ports in the source VLANs become source ports for the SPAN or RSPAN session. Trunk ports are included as source ports for VSPAN, and only packets with the monitored VLAN ID are sent to the destination port.

You can monitor traffic on a single port or VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a series or range of interfaces or VLANs by using the [, | -] options.

If you specify a series of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you specify a range of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).

EtherChannel ports cannot be configured as SPAN or RSPAN destination ports. A physical port that is a member of an EtherChannel group can be used as a destination port, but it cannot participate in the EtherChannel group while it is as a SPAN destination.

You can monitor individual ports while they participate in an EtherChannel, or you can monitor the entire EtherChannel bundle by specifying the port-channel number as the RSPAN source interface.

A port used as a destination port cannot be a SPAN or RSPAN source, nor can a port be a destination port for more than one session at a time.

VLAN filtering refers to analyzing network traffic on a selected set of VLANs on trunk source ports. By default, all VLANs are monitored on trunk source ports. You can use the monitor session session_number filter vlan vlan-id command to limit SPAN traffic on trunk source ports to only the specified VLANs.

VLAN monitoring and VLAN filtering are mutually exclusive. If a VLAN is a source, VLAN filtering cannot be enabled. If VLAN filtering is configured, a VLAN cannot become a source.

If ingress traffic forwarding is enabled for a network security device, the destination port forwards traffic at Layer 2.

Destination ports can be configured to act in these ways:

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id with no other keywords, egress encapsulation is untagged, and ingress forwarding is not enabled.

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id ingress, egress encapsulation is untagged; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q, isl, or untagged.

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate with no other keywords, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress forwarding is not enabled. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate ingress, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q or untagged. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)

Examples

This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source port 1 to destination port 2:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/1 both
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2

This example shows how to delete a destination port from an existing local SPAN session:

Switch(config)# no monitor session 2 destination gigabitethernet0/2

This example shows how to limit SPAN traffic in an existing session only to specific VLANs:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 filter vlan 100 - 110

This example shows how to configure RSPAN source session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces and to configure the destination RSPAN VLAN 900.

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/1 
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2 tx
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 900
Switch(config)# end

This example shows how to configure an RSPAN destination session 10 in the switch receiving the monitored traffic.

Switch(config)# monitor session 10 source remote vlan 900
Switch(config)# monitor session 10 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 

This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that supports IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. Egress traffic replicates the source; ingress traffic uses IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation.

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 encapsulation 
dot1q ingress dot1q vlan 5 

This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that does not support encapsulation. Egress traffic and ingress traffic are untagged.

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 ingress 
untagged vlan 5

pagp learn-method {aggregation-port | physical-port}

no pagp learn-method

Syntax Description

aggregation-port

Specify address learning on the logical port-channel. The switch sends packets to the source using any of the ports in the EtherChannel. This setting is the default. With aggregate-port learning, it is not important on which physical port the packet arrives.

physical-port

Specify address learning on the physical port within the EtherChannel. The switch sends packets to the source using the same port in the EtherChannel from which it learned the source address. The other end of the channel uses the same port in the channel for a particular destination MAC or IP address.


Defaults

Usage Guidelines

The learn method must be configured the same at both ends of the link.


Note The switch supports address learning only on aggregate ports even though the physical-port keyword is provided in the command-line interface (CLI). The pagp learn-method and the pagp port-priority interface configuration commands have no effect on the switch hardware, but they are required for PAgP interoperability with devices that only support address learning by physical ports, such as the Catalyst 1900 switch.

When the link partner to the switch is a physical learner, we recommend that you configure the switch as a physical-port learner by using the pagp learn-method physical-port interface configuration command and to set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using the port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command. Use the pagp learn-method interface configuration command only in this situation.


Examples

This example shows how to set the learning method to learn the address on the physical port within the EtherChannel:

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you configure the priority-queue out command, the shaped round robin (SRR) weight ratios are affected because there is one fewer queue participating in SRR. This means that weight1 in the srr-queue bandwidth shape or the srr-queue bandwidth shape interface configuration command is ignored (not used in the ratio calculation). The expedite queue is a priority queue, and it is serviced until empty before the other queues are serviced.

Follow these guidelines when the expedite queue is enabled or the egress queues are serviced based on their SRR weights:

If the egress expedite queue is enabled, it overrides the SRR shaped and shared weights for queue 1.

If the egress expedite queue is disabled and the SRR shaped and shared weights are configured, the shaped mode overrides the shared mode for queue 1, and SRR services this queue in shaped mode.

If the egress expedite queue is disabled and the SRR shaped weights are not configured, SRR services the queue in shared mode.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the egress expedite queue when the SRR weights are configured. The egress expedite queue overrides the configured SRR weights.

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# srr-queue bandwidth shape 25 0 0 0
Switch(config-if)# srr-queue bandwidth share 30 20 25 25

Use the radius-server timeout seconds global configuration command to specify the time in seconds during which the switch waits for a RADIUS server to respond before the authentication times out. The switch dynamically determines the default seconds value that is from 10 to 60 seconds.

Use the radius-server retransmit retries global configuration command to specify the number of times the switch tries to reach the RADIUS servers before considering the servers to be unavailable. The switch dynamically determines the default tries value that is from 10 to 100.

The seconds parameter is less than or equal to the number of retransmission attempts times the time in seconds before the authentication times out.

The tries parameter should be the same as the number of retransmission attempts.

Examples

This example shows how to configure 60 as the time and 10 as the number of tries, the conditions that determine when a RADIUS server is considered unavailable

Switch(config)# radius-server dead-criteria time 60 tries 10

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

radius-server host

Use the radius-server host global configuration command to configure the RADIUS server parameters, including the RADIUS accounting and authentication. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

radius-server host ip-address [acct-port udp-port] [auth-port udp-port][test username name [idle-time time] [ignore-acct-port] [ignore-auth-port]] [key string]

no radius-server host ip-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

Specify the IP address of the RADIUS server.

acct-port udp-port

(Optional) Specify the UDP port for the RADIUS accounting server. The range is from 0 to 65536.

auth-port udp-port

(Optional) Specify the UDP port for the RADIUS authentication server. The range is from 0 to 65536.

key string

(Optional) Specify the authentication and encryption key for all RADIUS communication between the switch and the RADIUS daemon. The key is a text string that must match the encryption key used on the RADIUS server. Always configure the key as the last item in this command. Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces within and at the end of the key are used. If there are spaces in your key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks unless the quotation marks are part of the key.

test username name

(Optional) Enable automatic server testing of the RADIUS server status, and specify the username to be used.

idle-time time

(Optional) Set the interval of time in minutes after which the switch sends test packets to the server. The range is from 1 to 35791 minutes.

ignore-acct-port

(Optional) Disables testing on the RADIUS-server accounting port.

ignore-auth-port

(Optional) Disables testing on the RADIUS-server authentication port.


Defaults

The UDP port for the RADIUS accounting server is 1646.

The UDP port for the RADIUS authentication server is 1645.

Automatic server testing is disabled.

The idle time is 60 minutes (1 hour).

When the automatic testing is enabled, testing occurs on the accounting and authentication UDP ports.

The authentication and encryption key (string) is not configured.

Usage Guidelines

We recommend that you configure the UDP port for the RADIUS accounting server and the UDP port for the RADIUS authentication server to nondefault values.

Use the test username name keywords to enable automatic server testing of the RADIUS server status and to specify the username to be used.

You can configure the authentication and encryption key by using the radius-server host ip-address key string or the radius-server key {0 string | 7 string | string} global configuration command. Always configure the key as the last item in this command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure 1500 as the UDP port for the accounting server and 1510 as the UDP port for the authentication server:

Switch(config)# radius-server host 1.1.1.1 acct-port 1500 auth-port 1510

This example shows how to configure the UDP port for the accounting server and the authentication server, enable automated testing of the RADIUS server status, specify the username to be used, and configure a key string:

Switch(config)# radius-server host 1.1.1.2 acct-port 800 auth-port 900 test username 
aaafail idle-time 75 key abc123

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

rcommand

Use the rcommand user EXEC command on the cluster command switch to start a Telnet session and to execute commands on a cluster member switch from the cluster command switch. To end the session, enter the exit command.

rcommand {n | commander | mac-address hw-addr}

Syntax Description

n

Provide the number that identifies a cluster member. The range is 0 to 15.

commander

Provide access to the cluster command switch from a cluster member switch.

mac-address hw-addr

MAC address of the cluster member switch.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is available only on the cluster command switch.

If the switch is the cluster command switch but the cluster member switch n does not exist, an error message appears. To get the switch number, enter the show cluster members privileged EXEC command on the cluster command switch.

You can use this command to access a cluster member switch from the cluster command-switch prompt or to access a cluster command switch from the member-switch prompt.

For Catalyst 2350, 2360, 2940, 2950, 2960, 2970, 3550, 3560, 3560-E, 3750, and 3750-E switches, the Telnet session accesses the member-switch command-line interface (CLI) at the same privilege level as on the cluster command switch. For example, if you execute this command at user level on the cluster command switch, the cluster member switch is accessed at user level. If you use this command on the cluster command switch at privileged level, the command accesses the remote device at privileged level. If you use an intermediate enable-level lower than privileged, access to the cluster member switch is at user level.

For Catalyst 1900 and 2820 switches running standard edition software, the Telnet session accesses the menu console (the menu-driven interface) if the cluster command switch is at privilege level 15. If the cluster command switch is at privilege level 1, you are prompted for the password before being able to access the menu console. Cluster command switch privilege levels map to the cluster member switches running standard edition software as follows:

If the cluster command switch privilege level is from 1 to 14, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege level 1.

If the cluster command switch privilege level is 15, the cluster member switch is accessed at privilege level 15.

The Catalyst 1900 and 2820 CLI is available only on switches running Enterprise Edition Software.

This command will not work if the vty lines of the cluster command switch have access-class configurations.

You are not prompted for a password because the cluster member switches inherited the password of the cluster command switch when they joined the cluster.

Examples

This example shows how to start a session with member 3. All subsequent commands are directed to member 3 until you enter the exit command or close the session.

Switch# rcommand 3
Switch-3# show version
Cisco Internet Operating System Software ...
...
Switch-3# exit
Switch#
