Command Reference

This appendix discusses all aspects of the command set. A list of top-level commands is provided in Table A-1.

Command-Line Processing

The user interface for the admin. port on the concentrator is a basic command-line interpreter. Commands and parameters are not case sensitive and can be abbreviated if they contain enough characters to eliminate any ambiguity with other commands at the same level. Command-line editing is provided along with history substitution. If you incorrectly enter a command, a usage message gives you the correct command format. Pressing Ctrl-W deletes the last word typed and pressing Ctrl-U deletes the entire line.

History Substitution Buffer

Commands entered during a terminal session are stored in a history substitution buffer. Commands in this buffer can be repeated or edited in a style similar to the UNIX C shell. The buffer stores the last 20 commands entered during a terminal session. (See the section "history Command" later in this appendix.)

To repeat a recent command, do the following:

   !! -- repeat the most recent command
  !nn -- repeat command nn
 !aaa -- repeat the command beginning with string aaa
!?aaa -- repeat the command containing the string aaa

To modify and repeat the most recent command, do the following:

^aaa^bbb -- replace the string aaa with the string bbb in 
           the most recent command

To add a string to the end of a previous command and repeat it, do the following:

    !!aaa -- add string aaa to the end of the most recent command
  !nn aaa -- add string aaa to the end of command nn
 !aaa bbb -- add string bbb to the end of the command beginning
            with string aaa
!?aaa bbb -- add string bbb to the end of the command containing                       the string aaa 

Connecting to Concentrator Administration

You can connect to the admin. interface through the admin. port (EIA/TIA-232) or via Telnet. The admin. port allows fixed baud rates. Telnet and admin. port sessions are automatically logged out if they are idle for 20 minutes.

Use the admin. interface to perform the following functions:

  • Monitor network performance

  • Configure the SNMP agent parameters

  • Configure SMT parameters

  • Configure the EIA/TIA-232 port line speed and echo parameter

  • Provide a backup for SNMP-based management

  • Download software updates to the concentrator

  • Troubleshoot the concentrator

Connection via EIA/TIA-232

You can connect through the admin. port via EIA/TIA-232. Following is a sample display:

Cisco Systems Console
Enter password:
console>
console>
console> quit

Connection via Telnet

To use Telnet, you must have the IP address configured on the concentrator. To access the concentrator with Telnet, use the following procedure:

Step 1 On the remote host, enter the following command, where hostname is the host name or IP address of the concentrator:

%telnet hostname

Step 2 Enter the admin. interface password.

Step 3 When you finish, enter quit to exit the Telnet session. Following is a sample Telnet session:

% telnet concentrator1
Trying 192.XXX.XXX.XXX ...
Connected to concentrator1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Cisco Systems Console
Enter password:
console>
console>
console> quit
Connection closed by foreign host.

Top-Level Commands

There are two categories of commands: normal and privileged.
(See Table A-1.)

  • Normal commands are available in privileged and normal modes; use them for everyday operations.

  • Privileged commands are only available after you enter the enable command and privileged mode password. Use privileged commands for configuring the concentrator and troubleshooting basic problems. When (enable) appears on your screen, the system is in privileged mode. The designation (enable) is used in the sample displays in this appendix to indicate when the system is in privileged mode.

You can enter help or ? to see the list of commands. Additional help is available for some commands when you enter the command followed by help or ?.

configure Command

The configure command downloads a configuration file or a batch file from the network and executes each command in that file. It is only available in privileged mode. The file should contain only American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text and should not exceed 9,216 bytes (9 kilobytes [KB]) in length. Administrator commands are entered one per line.

The list of commands should end with the word "end" followed by a carriage return. The file may also contain comment lines, which are indicated by a pound (#) character at the beginning of each line. Some commands prompt for user input or confirmation. Responses to such commands should appear on the line after the command prompt.


Note Some confirmations in a Telnet session are not prompted for in EIA/TIA-232 port sessions--for example, set ipaddress and set port disable.

Following are examples of configuration files:

  • In the tftpboot directory conc5.cfg:

show time
set ipalias conc5 192.1.1.205
set ipalias montreux 192.1.1.10
set ipalias bigbird 198.1.1.8
set prompt conc5>
set password
#the next line is empty because the old password is an empty string
pingpong

connect fddi Command

The connect fddi command connects the concentrator to the FDDI ring. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) connect
Usage: connect fddi
Console> (enable) connect fddi
Connected to FDDI ring.
Console> (enable) 

See also the disconnect fddi Command.

copy flash tftp Command

The copy flash tftp command uploads the Flash memory image file from the concentrator to a network host to create a backup file. The file must be created in advance and saved in the tftpboot directory. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) copy flash tftp
IP address or name of remote host? oscar
Name of file to copy to? c1100_conc3.net
Upload image from flash to file c1100_conc3.net on host oscar (y/n) [n]? y
Uploading image to c1100_conc3.net on oscar
/
Done.  Finished Network Upload.  (446468 bytes)
Console> (enable) 

copy tftp flash Command

The copy tftp flash command downloads a Flash memory image file from the tftpboot directory to Flash memory. The binary file is searched for in the tftpboot directory of the host designated by IP address or name. The file transfer process can be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C. The copy tftp flash command and the download command are identical.

Caution  Do not reset the concentrator after the Flash memory initialization process begins. The Flash memory image file may be incomplete and would cause system failure.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) copy tftp flash
IP address or name of remote host? oscar
Name of file to copy from? c1100_10.net
This command will disconnect your telnet session.
Download image c1100_10.net from host oscar to flash (y/n) [n]? y

disable Command

The disable command returns you to normal mode. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) disable
Console> 

See also enable and set enablepass.

disconnect fddi Command

The disconnect fddi command disconnects all CDDI/FDDI ports from the FDDI ring. The disconnect fddi command will also terminate any network connections, including services such as Telnet. After the concentrator is reset, it attempts to connect all ports even if you had previously issued a disconnect fddi command.

Following are samples of the disconnect fddi command with two connection types:

  • EIA/TIA-232 connection:

Console> (enable) disconnect
Usage: disconnect fddi
Console> (enable) disconnect fddi
This command will disconnect all CDDI/FDDI ports.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Disconnected from FDDI ring.
Console> (enable) 
  • Telnet session:

Console> (enable) disconnect fddi
This command will disconnect all CDDI/FDDI ports and your
   telnet session.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Disconnected from FDDI ring.
Connection closed by foreign host.
%

See also the connect fddi Command.


Note After using the disconnect command, network connections can be resumed with the connect command locally or by resetting the concentrator.

download Commands

There are two ways to download a new image to Flash memory: through the serial port using the download serial command or over the network using the download host file command.

download

The download command enables you to download data to the concentrator over the network. When you download over the network, the concentrator expects a binary image. Network download is achieved via TFTP. The binary file image is searched for in the tftpboot directory. You can cancel the download command during the TFTP process by pressing Ctrl-C. The download command and the copy tftp flash are identical.

Caution  Do not reset the concentrator after the download process begins. The Flash memory image file may be incomplete and would cause system failure.

Note Downloading an image file over the network will take about two minutes during normal traffic conditions.

Following is an example of a network download in a Telnet session:

Console> (enable) download
Usage: download serial
       download <host> <file>
       (serial downloads via the administration RS-232 port,
        host is ipalias or IP address: a.b.c.d for a network download
       (NOTE: FDDI ring will go down)
Console> (enable) download cres c1100_10.net
This command will disconnect your telnet session.

download serial

When you download through the serial port, the concentrator expects an ASCII image. You must ensure that the baud rates from the sending and receiving end are the same.


Note Downloading an image file through the serial port will take about 20 minutes.

The following display shows a serial download session through the EIA/TIA-232 port using Kermit for a UNIX workstation:

macreinit Command

The macreinit command reinitializes the primary and secondary MACs. You could use the macreinit command to clear a halted concentrator. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) macreinit
MACs reinitialized.
Console> (enable)

ping Command

The ping command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to a node on the network. When the -s option is specified, the ping command sends one datagram per second and prints one line of output for every response it receives. No output is produced if there is no response. Also, when the -s option is specified, round-trip times and packet-loss statistics are computed, and a summary of this information is shown on termination or timeout. The default packet size is 64 bytes, or you can specify a size from 1 to 2,000 bytes.

If you give an optional packet count, the ping command sends only that number of requests. Following is a sample display of the ping command:

Console> ping
Usage: ping <host>
       ping -s <host> [data_size] [packet_count]
       (host is ipalias or IP address in dot notation: a.b.c.d)
Console> ping bedrock

Console> 

Following are several examples of responses to the ping command.

  • Normal response--Occurs in one to ten seconds, depending on network traffic:

Console> ping 130.125.132.108
Console> 130.125.132.108 is alive
Console> ping hub20
Console> hub20 is alive

  • Destination does not respond--If the destination node does not respond, a "no answer" message appears in ten seconds:

Console> ping 130.125.132.108
Console> no answer from 130.125.132.108
  • Network unreachable--The concentrator found no corresponding entry in the routing table (see the set route command later in this appendix):

Console> ping 192.54.56.122
ping: network unreachable
Console>
  • Host unreachable--The concentrator found no corresponding entry in the routing table (see the set route command):

Console> ping 130.28.99.76
ping: host unreachable
Console> no answer from 130.28.99.76

set agingtime

The switch uses an aging mechanism for the ARP address table that removes an address that has been inactive for a number of seconds set by the user. Removing addresses of inactive stations keeps the address table from filling up. Aging ensures that the old address/port association is removed if a station is moved from one switch port to another. The set agingtime command sets the aging time. The default value is 300 seconds. To disable aging, enter 0. A sample display follows:

Console> (enable)   !

Usage: set agingtime <seconds>
Console> (enable) set agingtime ?
Usage: set agingtime <0..1000000>
Console> (enable) set agingtime 1200
ARP aging time set.
Console> (enable)

set alarm

The set alarm command sets the port line error rate alarm value. The alarms generated are sent to the Network Management System. The default LER-alarm value is 8. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set alarm
Usage: set alarm <port_number> <value>
Console> (enable) set alarm 3 5
Port 3 Ler-Alarm set to 5.
Console> (enable)

See also show port.

set arp

The set arp command adds ARP table entries. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set arp
Usage: set arp <ip_addr> <hw_addr>
       (ip_addr is ipalias or IP dot notation: a.b.c.d)
       (hw_addr is in canonical form)
Console> (enable) set arp bedrock 08:00:20:08:f1:ac
ARP entry added.
Console> (enable)

See also clear arp and show arp.

set attach

The set attach command sets the system attach type, including single, dual, or null, as follows:

Console> (enable) set attach
Usage: set attach <attachment_type>
Console> (enable) set attach ?
Usage: set attach <dual|single|null>
Console> (enable) set attach single
Attachment type changed to single attach.
Must reset concentrator for this to take effect!
Console> (enable)

Following are the three attachment types for the set attach command:

  • Dual attachment--A dual attachment concentrator connects to both the primary and secondary rings of an FDDI network through the A and B ports (ports 1 and 2). It is capable of accommodating a dual (counter-rotating) ring. The factory default is dual attachment.

Dual homing concentrators use dual attachment. In this configuration, one concentrator connects its A and B ports to M ports on two other concentrators.
  • Single attachment--A single attachment concentrator connects to the M port of another concentrator (port 2 becomes an S port for connecting to another concentrator, and port 1 becomes an M port).

  • Null attachment--Use null attachment if the concentrator does not have a dual or single attachment to an external ring. If an A/B port card is installed, ports 1 and 2 become M ports that are available for connecting to other workstations.


Note Changes to the attachment type take effect after you execute the reset command.

See also show port and show system.

set baud

The set baud command sets the serial port baud rate. The following line speeds are available: 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, 19,200, and 38,400. The default line speed is 9,600 baud. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set baud
Usage: set baud <baud_rate>
Console> (enable) set baud ?
Usage: set baud <600|1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400>
Console> (enable) set baud 9600
Baud rate set to 9600.
Console> (enable)

See also show system.

set broadcast

The set broadcast command sets the IP broadcast address. A broadcast address specifies the address of the network. All stations on the network receive any packets with the broadcast address in the destination field. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set broadcast ?
Usage: set broadcast <a.b.c.d>
Console> (enable) set broadcast 192.54.16.255
Broadcast address changed.
Console> (enable)

See also show snmp.

set coalias

The set coalias command assigns company aliases, up to eight characters long, for MAC addresses. Only the first three bytes of the MAC address are mapped to an alias. For example, the globally assigned MAC address for Cisco Systems Workgroup is 00:02:d0 in FDDI format.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set coalias ?
Usage: set coalias <name> <company-prefix>
       Company-prefix is 3 hex words separated by ":", ex 00:02:d0
Console> (enable) set coalias sgi 10:00:96
Company MAC alias added.
Console> (enable)

See also clear coalias and show coalias.

set community

The set community command sets one of the four SNMP community strings, as follows:

Console> (enable) set community
Usage: set community <access_type> [community_string]
Console> (enable) set community ?
Usage: set community <none|read-only|read-write|read-write-all> [community_stri]
Console> (enable) set community read-only public
SNMP community string set.
Console> (enable)

You can set a community string for each the following access types:

  • None--Prohibits all access to the MIB.

  • Read only--Gives read access to all objects in the MIB except the community strings, but does not allow write access. The default is public.

  • Read-write--Gives read and write access to all objects in the MIB, but not to the community strings. The default is private.

  • Read-write all--Gives read and write access to all objects in the MIB, including the community strings. The default is secret.

See also show snmp.

set cutoff

The set cutoff command sets the port line error rate (LER) cutoff value. The default LER-cutoff is 7. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set cutoff
Usage: set cutoff <port_number> <value>
Console> (enable) set cutoff 3 10
Port 3 Ler-Cutoff set to 10.
Console> (enable) 

set defaultTTL

set insertmode

Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrators support insertion of stations attached to the concentrator M port into the FDDI ring so that no data frames are lost in the process. This form of insertion is called scheduled insertion. Without scheduled insertion, frames can be lost while connecting to a new station.

You can change port insertion mode using the set insertmode command, which sets the system insert mode to standard or scheduled. The default is scheduled.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set insertmode
Usage: set insertmode <standard|scheduled>
Console> (enable) set insertmode standard
System insert mode set to standard.

set password

The set password command sets the concentrator login password. You are prompted for the old password followed by the new password twice if the old password checks. A zero-length password is allowed, but passwords must not exceed 20 characters.


Note The default is no password configured.

If you forget your password, you have 30 seconds after power up or pressing the reset button to log in without a password and change the password. This requires physical access to the concentrator.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set password
Enter old password: 
Enter new password: 
Retype new password: 
Password changed.
Console> (enable)

Note The passwords entered will not echo to the terminal display.

set path

The set path command sets individual ports to primary or secondary ring paths. The default is primary. Following is a sample display:

Console> set path
Usage: set path <port_number> <primary|secondary>
Console>  set path 4 secondary
Port 4 requested path set to secondary.
Console> 

See also show port.

set port

The set port command enables and disables a port. The default is enabled. Following is a sample display:

Console> set port
Usage: set port <port_number> <enable|disable>
Console> set port 1 enable
Port 1 enabled.
Console> set port 15 disable
Port 15 disabled.

The format of the set port command follows:

  • Port number--1 through 18.

  • Enable--Restarts the port and enables PCM. The port attempts to connect.

  • Disable--Stops and disables the port. The port is disconnected and does not attempt to connect until the port is enabled. The port LED is off. The port remains disabled during a power up or reset. The clear config command enables all ports.

See also show port.

set portname

The set portname command configures a name for a port. The default port name is no name. The variables available are as follows:

Console> set portname
Usage: set portname <port_number> [name_string]
Console> set portname 1 A
Console> set portname 2 B
Console> set portname 14
Console>

The port name you enter will appear in the port information display of the show port command. You can enter any port name up to 20 characters in length. A zero-length port name is allowed. Port names are only meaningful to network administrators and are not used by the concentrator.


Note You may find that referring to the ports by the names of the attached devices makes system administration easier and reduces the possibility of accidentally disconnecting the wrong workstation.

set prompt

The set prompt command changes the prompt for the command line of the admin. interface. The default prompt is Console>. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set prompt 
Usage: set prompt <prompt_string>
Console> (enable) set prompt conc5>
conc5> 

Note You may find it useful to set a more meaningful prompt, such as the location of the concentrator or the name of a workgroup.

set redirect

The set redirect command enables or disables the ICMP redirects, allowing or disallowing dynamic updates to the routing table. The default is enabled. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set redirect ?
Usage: set redirect <enable|disable>
Console> (enable) set redirect enable
ICMP Redirects enabled.
Console> (enable)

See also show snmp.

set route

The set route command adds IP routing table entries. Its variables are as follows:

  • Destination--Network or individual workstation

  • Gateway--IP address of the gateway

  • Metric--0 or 1 (default is 1)

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set route ?
Usage: set route <destination> <gateway> [metric]
       (destination and gateway are ipalias or IP address in
        dot notation: a.b.c.d)
Console> (enable) set route fddi 198.133.219.40 
Route added.
Console> (enable)

You can enter either an IP address in dotted-decimal format or an alias, if one is set. Add an entry for the destination network and the gateway IP address if you want to manage the concentrator from a network management workstation that is not on the local network.

Figure A-1 shows two sample networks. In example A, the concentrator needs a path to a network management workstation located on another network through a router. In this case, you must add an entry in the routing table using the set route command. For example:

nn

In example B, the network management workstation is located on the same network as the concentrator, so you do not need to add an entry in the table.

Following are descriptions of the display fields of the show mac command:

  • MAC--Indicates which MAC is being referenced by the data in the other fields. Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrators currently have two MACs: MAC 1 is the primary MAC and MAC 2 is the secondary MAC.

  • SMT-Address--Refers to the 48-bit MAC address, and displays in two versions: the FDDI version (first) and the canonical version, as shown in the following partial sample display:

MAC SMT-Address       
--- ----------------- 
1      cisco:01:07:1e (FDDI version)
    (00:40:0b:80:e0:78) (canonical version)
  • Curr-Path--Indicates the current path handled by the MAC and takes one of the following values:

    • Primary--Displays if the MAC is on the primary path.

    • Secondary--Displays if the MAC is on the secondary path.

    • Isolated--Displays if the MAC is not on any path but is isolated.

    • Unknown--If the concentrator cannot determine the path, it returns a value of unknown.

    • Other--If the concentrator is unable to determine the path, it returns a value of other.

  • TReq--Shows the time in microseconds that the MAC requests as the average token rotation time. You can configure this parameter with the set treq command.

  • TNeg--Contains the TReq value agreed on by all MACs in the ring.

  • TMax--Holds the maximum time in microseconds that the MAC will send out as a TReq value.

  • TVX--Displays the time in microseconds of the MAC valid transmission timer.

  • Rcv-Frms--Displays the total number of frames received by the MAC.

  • Rcv-Smt--Displays the total number of SMT frames received by the MAC.

  • Rcv-llc--Displays the total number of logical link control (LLC) frames received by the MAC.

  • Tvx-Exp-Ct--Displays the number of TVX expirations counted by the MAC.

  • RingOp-Ct--Displays the number of times the ring has encountered a break and restarted.

  • RMT-St--The ring management (RMT) state. Ring management identifies stuck beaconing, initiates traces, provides notification of MAC availability, and detects duplicate addresses that prevent ring operation. This field will display one of the following:

    • Isolated--The initial state of RMT.

    • Non-op--The ring is not operational; however, the MAC is participating in ring recovery procedures.

    • Ring-op--The MAC is part of an operational FDDI ring.

    • Detect--The ring is not operational because a duplicate address has been detected.

    • NonOp-dup--The ring is not operational because a duplicate address was detected, and this MAC's address is one of the duplicates.

    • Rng-Op-Dup--A duplicate address has been detected on the ring, and this MAC's address is one of the duplicates. The ring, however, remains operational.

    • Directed--The MAC is sending directed beacon frames out to attempt to isolate a local-area network (LAN) fault.

    • Trace--Indicates that the MAC initiated a trace function. Trace provides a recovery mechanism from a stuck beacon that cannot be traced to a single link. In this condition, all stations leave the ring, perform a self-test, and rejoin the ring if they are not faulty.

  • Xmit-Frms--Contains the total number of frames transmitted by the MAC.

  • Xmit-Smt--Contains the total number of SMT frames transmitted by the MAC.

  • Xmit-llc--Contains the total number of LLC frames transmitted by the MAC. The LLC frames contain user and application data.

  • Error-Frms--Shows the total number of error frames that a MAC has detected (no other MACs have set the frame-error-detected indicator).

  • Lost-Frms--Displays the total number of frames received by the MAC that contain an error.

  • Total-Frms--Contains the total number of frames seen by the MAC.

  • Upstream-Nbr--Contains the address of the most recently known upstream neighbor to the MAC.

  • Downstream-Nbr--Contains the address of the most recently known downstream neighbor, the next MAC to receive frames from this MAC.

  • Old-Upstream-Nbr--Contains the MAC address of the previous upstream neighbor.

  • Old-Downstream-Nbr--Contains the MAC address of the previous downstream neighbor.

  • Last-Time-Cleared--Displays the date and time that the MAC counters were last cleared.

    • Primary--The port has been inserted into the primary path. (See Figure A-2.)




Figure A-2: Primary Configuration Control (CCE) Element State
  • Secondary--The port has been inserted into the secondary path. (See Figure A-3.)




Figure A-3: Secondary Configuration Control Element State
  • Isolated--Displays when the PHY is isolated from the paths. (See Figure A-4.)




Figure A-4: Isolated Configuration Control Element State
  • Thru--Both A and B ports have been inserted into the primary path and the B port has been inserted into the secondary path in a thru configuration. (See Figure A-5.)




Figure A-5: Thru Configuration Control Element State
  • Concatenated--The A, B, and S ports have been inserted into both primary and secondary paths in a concatenated path configuration. (See Figure A-6.)




Figure A-6: Concatenated Configuration Control Element State
    • Other--Displays other if the concentrator is unable to determine the CCE state.

  • Conn-State--Displays the connection state of the port, as follows:

    • Disabled--The port has no line module, or was disabled by the user.

    • Connecting--The port is attempting to connect or is disconnected.

    • Standby--The connection is withheld or is the inactive port of a dual homing concentrator.

    • Active--The port has made connection.

    • Other--The concentrator is unable to determine the Conn-State.

  • Type--Specifies the type of port as follows. (See Figure A-7.)

    • A--A port

    • B--B port

    • M--Master port

    • S--Slave port

    • U--Unknown




Figure A-7: Port Types
  • Neigh--Indicates the type of port attached to this port. The neighbor can be one of the following types:

    • A--A port.

    • B--B port.

    • M--M port.

    • S--Slave port.

    • U--The concentrator cannot determine the type of the neighbor port.

  • Ler-Cond--Shows the link error rate indicator field as either true, an error condition exists on the link, or false, no error conditions exist on the link.

  • Ler-Est--Refers to the long-term estimated error rate for the link. The value displayed in this field is the exponent of 10-n. For example, if the indicated value is 11, the estimated error rate is 10-11; thus, the higher the value of the exponent, the better the link error rate.

Values range from 10-4 to 10-15.
  • Ler-Alrm--Contains the error rate for the link that will generate an alarm. The default is 10-8. The value displayed is the exponent of 10-n.

  • Ler-Cutoff--Contains the error rate for the link that will disable the port. The default is 10-7. The value displayed is the exponent of 10-n.

  • Lem-Ct--Holds the link error monitor count, the number of recorded link errors received. The link error monitor is used to estimate the link error rate (Ler-Est) and helps measure link performance and isolate faulty links that pass initial tests.

  • Lem-Rej-Ct--Contains the link error monitor rejected count, the number of times a link was disabled because the link error rate reached the cutoff threshold.

  • Media--Indicates the media capabilities of the indicated port as follows:

    • mlt-3--The port uses MLT-3 media.

    • cddi--The port uses CDDI media.

    • fiber--The port uses FDDI fiber-optic cable.

    • none--This port cannot be used because it is missing a line card.

  • Last-Time-Cleared--Displays the date and time that the port counters were last cleared.

See also clear port, set port, set portname, set path, set agingtime, and set cutoff.

You can also use a company alias as part of the MAC address. Use the raw option to show MAC addresses without company aliases.


Note The MAC addresses displayed in the Upstream-Nbr and Downstream-Nbr fields are in FDDI format.

The show remotemib display contains parts of the show mac and show port displays, with the following new fields:

  • Manu-Data--A text field in the remote MIB containing device information from the manufacturer.

  • User-Data--A text field in the remote MIB containing information entered by the user.

See also show ringmap.

show ringmap

The show ringmap command displays the FDDI ringmap for the primary or secondary MAC.

The variables available are as follows:

  • Raw or canonical--Used to display the information in various hierarchies.

  • Primary or secondary--Used to determine the ring to be shown.

The equal sign (=) after a MAC address denotes the default MAC. An asterisk (*) after a MAC address denotes mismatched neighbor information.


Note Ringmap information will stabilize after 30 to 60 seconds, then the "*" will disappear.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) show ringmap ?
Usage: show ringmap [raw|canonical]
       (raw - show with no alias conversions,
        canonical - show with canonical format,

Following are descriptions of the display fields of the show system command:

  • Station-ID--Refers to the address of the concentrator and displays it in both FDDI and canonical format. The canonical address appears in parentheses.

  • MACs--This number equals the number of MAC elements in the concentrator.

  • Ports-Ct--Displays the number of ports on the module.

  • Type--Displays which concentrator attachment type you set with the set attach command. A concentrator can be dual attachment, single attachment, or null attachment.

  • Count--Displays the number of attachment ports.

  • Uptime d,h:m:s--Displays the days, hours, minutes, and seconds since the last restart of the concentrator.

  • Baud--Reflects the current baud rate setting for the admin. interface EIA/TIA-232 port. You can configure this parameter with the set baud command.

  • Echo--Reflects the state of the echo functionality in the system, either enabled or disabled. (See the section "set echo" earlier in this appendix.)

  • T-Notify--Specifies how often SMT initiates neighbor notification broadcasts and is defined by the set tnotify command. T-Notify will take the form of an integer value from 2 to 30 seconds. For more information, see the section "set tnotify" earlier in this appendix.

  • Conn-Pol--The connection policy field shows a hexadecimal value representing the connection policies in effect in the concentrator. Connection policies are port-to-port configurations that the concentrator either rejects or accepts. Table A-6 shows the bit location, corresponding connection policy, and policy definition. Instructions on translating the hexadecimal value into a connection policy follow Table A-6.


Note Connection policies cannot be configured with the admin. interface.

The value displayed in the connection policy field is a four-digit hexadecimal number in which each digit corresponds to four of the bit positions in the table. The interpretation of the number 8000 is shown in Figure A-8.




Figure A-8: Interpreting the Connection -Policy Hexadecimal Number

For example, assume the Connection-Policy value for the concentrator is 8000. Reading the hexadecimal numbers from right to left, note that bits 0 though 3 are not set, bits 4 through 7 are not set, bits 8 through 11 are not set, and bits 12 through 14 are not set; however, bit 15 is set. Check Table A-6 for the policy that corresponds to bit 15. In this case, an M-M port connection is rejected.

  • CF-St--Displays the CCE state (part of configuration management). Configuration management describes the internal configuration of ports and MACs within the concentrator. The following figures illustrate the configuration state, which are isolated, wrap-s, wrap-A, wrap-B, thru, and other.

    • Isolated--In this state, ports 1/A and 2/B are isolated from the paths. (See Figure A-9.)




Figure A-9: Isolated Configuration State
  • Wrap-S--Port 1 is configured as an S port and is connected to the primary and secondary path. (See Figure A-10.)




Figure A-10: Wrap-S Configuration State
  • Wrap-A--Port 2/B is isolated, and port 1/A is connected to the primary and secondary paths. (See Figure A-11.)




Figure A-11: Wrap-A Configuration State
  • Wrap-B--Port 1/A is isolated and port 2/B is connected to the primary and secondary paths. (See Figure A-12.)




Figure A-12: Wrap-B Configuration State
  • Thru--Ports 1/A and 2/B are connected to the primary and secondary paths. (See Figure A-13.)




Figure A-13: Thru Configuration State
    • Other--The concentrator cannot determine the CF-St.

  • ECM-St--Tells the current state of the entity coordination management (ECM) for the concentrator. ECM controls the bypass switch of the physical medium dependent (PMD) layer and signals the physical connection management (PCM) when the media is available. It also coordinates the trace function and initiates a path test after a trace to localize the suspected fault. ECM-St may appear as any one of the following values:

    • Out--Shows when the concentrator is waiting for a connect request.

    • In--The normal state for a completed connection.

    • Trace--Determines the location of a stuck beacon condition.

    • Leave--Allows sufficient time to break existing connections.

    • Path-test--Reached after leaving the trace state.

    • Insert--Allows for the switching time of the bypass.

    • Check--Confirms that both the primary and secondary bypass switches have switched.

    • Deinsert--Allows enough time for the bypass switch to deinsert.

    • Other--Shows if the concentrator cannot determine the ECM state.

  • Hold-St--Refers to the current state of the hold function. The hold state of the concentrator is always not-hold.

    • Not-Hold--There is no holding on either the primary or secondary ring.

    • Other--Shows if the concentrator cannot determine the hold state.

  • Bypass--Tells you whether or not a bypass switch is connected to the concentrator (present or absent). If you install or remove a bypass switch, reset the concentrator.

  • Traffic--Tells you the current traffic load on the concentrator as a percentage of maximum load. The letter in parentheses indicates the path being monitored--for example, primary (P), secondary (S), local (L), none (N). Refer to the section "set meter" for more information.

  • Ps-Type--Displays the rating of the power supply in watts.

  • Ps-Status--Refers to the power supply's current status.

    • OK--No faults or power supply alarms have been detected.

    • Major--Occurs when +12V or -12V is bad. The field displays "Major," followed by a hexadecimal translation of the power supply test result bitmap. See Table A-7.


Power Supply Test Results
Bit Location Test
0 -12V
1 +12V
    • Other--Shows if the concentrator is unable to determine the state of the power supply.

  • Fan-Status--Refers to the current status of the concentrator fans.

  • Temp-Alarm--Occurs when the ambient temperature of the concentrator exceeds 95°F (35°C).

  • Sys-Status--Displays the current alarm status of the concentrator.

  • Model--Displays the concentrator model number.

  • Serial-Num--Displays the concentrator serial number.

  • Hw, Fw, Sw--Refers to the hardware, firmware, and software revision levels in the concentrator.

  • System-Name--Refers to the concentrator name, which displays only if you have named the concentrator using the set sysname command.

  • System-Location--Refers to the concentrator location, which displays only if you have set the concentrator location using the set syslocation command.

  • System-Contact--Refers to the name of a person to contact, which displays only if you have set the concentrator contact using the set syscontact command.

  • SMT User-Data--A text field in the SMT MIB containing information you enter.

  • Op-Ver--Identifies the operating version of SMT in the concentrator. Note that all releases of SMT up to and including SMT 6.2 are version 1. Later releases of SMT may have a higher version number. For example, SMT 7.3 is version 2.

  • Hi-Ver--States the latest version of SMT that the concentrator supports.

  • Lo-Ver--States the oldest version of SMT that the concentrator supports.

  • Ins-Mode--Shows the insert mode of the concentrator.

  • Ins-Pending--Displays true or false if a port is waiting to be inserted into the ring during scheduled insertion.

  • Phy-to-Insert--Displays the port waiting to be inserted into the ring. If no port is waiting, displays the last port inserted.

  • exitMACID--Displays the MAC used to capture the token for a scheduled insertion.

  • #Connecting--Displays the number of ports currently connected to the ring through PCM.

  • ExpansionBrd--Displays whether a second board is absent or present.

show test

The show test command displays the results of the diagnostic tests. This command generates a static test file each time the concentrator is reset. Following is a sample display:

traffic Command

The traffic command sends continuous traffic on the ring, as follows:

Console> (enable) traffic
Usage: traffic <FC> <DA> <SA> random <LEN> <PKTS>
       traffic <FC> <DA> <SA> percent <CENT>
       (FC is any valid FDDI Frame Class in hex format.
        DA and SA are hex MAC addresses in FDDI format
        separated by :, ex: a:0:45:21:2:6
        LEN = length of packet, PKTS = Number of packets)
Console> (enable) traffic 41 00:40:0b:80:e0:48 00:40:b0:80:e0:c8 
                random 64 100

 = Packet rate of 1666 packets/sec
 = Inter-packet gap time of 239 usec
 = Wait loop count of 225
HIT ANY KEY TO STOP TRAFFIC GENERATION
 ..Percentage traffic stopped
Console> (enable)

The traffic command sets the concentrator in traffic generation mode. You can specify the number, type, and content of packets to be generated. The traffic is generated by the primary MAC only.


Note While traffic is generated as a result of a traffic command, the concentrator may not respond to admin. interface or Workgroup Director commands. These modes should return once the concentrator is reset.

The following options are available with the traffic command:

  • FC--The frame class (1 byte); any valid FDDI frame class. For example, fc=41 for SMT frames, and fc=51 for LLC frames.

  • DA--The destination address; any valid MAC address in FDDI format (noncanonical).

  • SA--The source address of the MAC in FDDI format (noncanonical). The source address should be the primary MAC address of the concentrator that is generating the traffic.

  • LEN--The length of the packet in bytes, from 13 to 4,494.

  • PKTS--The number of packets to generate, from 1 to 4,294,967,296 (used only with the random option).

  • CENT--The percentage of traffic to generate on the ring, from 1 to 100 in 1 percent increments (used only with the percent option). This option is not supported on admin. interface sessions through Telnet.

Refer to the sample network in Figure A-14 when you read the following examples of the traffic command.

To generate packets with random data, use the following command:

traffic 51 00:02:D0:02:00:35 00:02:D0:01:00:08 random 100 10000

This command generates 10,000 frames of 100 bytes, each containing random data. The traffic generation ceases either after all the frames have been generated or if the ring goes down for any reason.

The LEN parameter in the previous command (100) can be any valid FDDI frame length. Note that the length you specify includes the frame class and address fields. The data bytes in the frames are all set to zero and packets are generated by the MAC at the fastest possible rate.

To generate traffic at a fixed rate, use the following command:

traffic 51 00:02:D0:02:00:35 00:02:D0:01:00:08 percent 78

This command generates 78 percent traffic on the ring. Each frame contains the same random data and is 4,492 bytes in length. For every new percent traffic command, new random data is generated. The mode of traffic generation stops either if the ring goes down or if any key on the keyboard is pressed. Note that there may be a slight deviation from the exact percentage.




Figure A-14: Example Connection for the traffic Command

Always reset the concentrator following traffic generation. This will ensure proper behavior of the node.

upload Command

The upload command uploads the Flash memory image file from the concentrator to a network host to create a backup file. The file must be created in advance and saved in the tftpboot directory.

The upload command performs the same function as the copy flash tftp command.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) upload
Usage: upload <host> <file>
       (host is ipalias or IP address: a.b.c.d
        file must already exist in tftp directory.)
Console> (enable) upload oscar c1100_conc3.net
Upload flash image to file c1100_conc3.net on host oscar (y/n) [n]? y
Uploading image to c1100_conc3.net on 198.133.219.40
/
Done.  Finished Network Upload.  (446468 bytes)
Console> (enable) 

See also the copy tftp flash Command.

write Command

The write command writes the concentrator configuration either to an existing file in a network host tftpboot directory or to the terminal screen display.

The ASCII configuration file uploaded by the write terminal command can be used to configure the same concentrator or edited to configure another WS-C1100 concentrator. (See the section "configure Command" earlier in this appendix.) The uploaded file is the same output as the files generated by the show config and write terminal commands, with the following exceptions:

  • The configuration file should end with a single line containing the word "end" followed by a carriage return.

  • Passwords are saved in the configuration file as clear text and do not echo to the screen.

  • A blank line should follow the set password and set enablepass commands, assuming no password is to be configured.

  • A blank line should follow each occurrence of the following command lines:

    • set ipaddress ip address

    • set port module/port disable

The blank line is needed to display the confirmation prompt with the no default. When these commands are called from a Telnet session, they will not be executed because they may disconnect the Telnet session. We recommend you execute the configure command from the EIA/TIA-232 connection, not from a Telnet session.
  • A set attach command type change made from a configuration file will be set, but the concentrator must be reset for the attachment type change to be implemented.

The write terminal command functions the same as the show config command.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) write ?
Usage: write network
       write terminal
       write <host> <file>
Console> (enable) write cres 06.29.config
Write file 06.29.config on host cres (y/n) [n]? y
Uploading configuration to 06.29.config on cres
Done.  Finished Network Upload (5135 bytes)
Console> (enable) 

See also the configure Command.
