To negate a previously entered command or revert to factory defaults, use the no form of this command.

no ip access-group group-name [in | out]

Syntax Description

group-name

Specifies the IP access-group name. Maximum length is 64 alphanumeric characters and the text is case insensitive.

in

Specifies that the group is for ingress traffic.

out

Specifies that the group is for egress traffic.


Defaults

Groups are created for both ingress and egress traffic.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare Release 2.1(2).

Usage Guidelines

The access-group command controls access to an interface. Each interface can only be associated with one access list. The access group becomes active on creation.

We recommend creating all rules in an access list, before creating the access group that uses this
access list.

If you create an access group before the access-list, all packets in that interface are dropped, because the access list is empty.

The access group configuration for the ingress traffic applies to both local and remote traffic. The access-group configuration for the egress traffic applies only to local traffic. You can create a different access-group for each type of traffic.

Examples

The following example creates an access group called SampleName for both the ingress and egress traffic (default).

switch# config
switch(config)# interface mgmt 0
switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName

The following example deletes the access group called NotRequired.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group NotRequired

The following example creates an access group called SampleName (if it does not already exist) for ingress traffic.

switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName1 in 

The following example deletes the access group called SampleName for ingress traffic.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group SampleName1 in

The following example creates an access group called SampleName (if it does not already exist) for local egress traffic.

switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName2 out 

The following example deletes the access group called SampleName for local egress traffic.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group SampleName2 out

A keyword any as an abbreviation for a destination and destination-wildcard of 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

dest-addr

Specifies the network from which the packet is sent. There are two ways to specify the destination:

A 32-bit quantity in four-part, dotted-decimal format

icmp-type icmp-value

Filters ICMP packets by ICMP message type. The range is 0 to 255. The types include: echo, echo-reply, redirect, time-exceeded, traceroute, and unreachable.

established

Indicates an established connection for the TCP protocol. A match occurs if the TCP datagram has the ACK, FIN, PSH, RST, SYN or URG control bits set. The non matching case is that of the initial TCP datagram to form a connection.

tos tos-value

show flogi database

Syntax Description

This command had no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Displays the entire FLOGI database.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare Release 2.1(2).

In a Fibre Channel fabric, each host or disk requires an FC ID. Use the show flogi database command to verify if a storage device is displayed in the Fabric login (FLOGI) table as in the examples below. If the required device is displayed in the FLOGI table, the fabric login is successful. Examine the FLOGI database on a switch that is directly connected to the host HBA and connected ports.

username name {password user-password | [expire days] | role rolename}

To undo the configuration or revert to factory defaults, use the no form of this command.

no username name {expire days | password user-password [expire date] | role rolename}

Syntax Description

name

Specifies the name of the user. Maximum length is 16 characters.

password

Configures a password for the user.

user-password

Enters the password. The minimum password length is 8 characters and the maximum is 20.

expire days

Specifies the date when this user account expires (in YYYY-MM-DD format). The date can be no more than 2000 days into the future.

Command Modes

Configuration

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare Release 2.1(2).

Usage Guidelines

Deleting a user using either command results in the user being deleted for both SNMP and CLI.

User-role mapping changes are synchronized in SNMP and CLI.

Examples

The following example shows how to define a user.

switch(config)# username knuckles password testpw role network-operator
switch(config)# do show user-account
user:admin
        this user account has no expiry date
        roles:network-admin 
user:knuckles
        this user account has no expiry date
        roles:network-operator

The following example creates or updates the user account (usam) along with a password (abcd) that is set to expire on 2003-05-31.

switch(config)# username usam password abcd expire 2005-05-31	

The following example adds the specified user (usam) to the network-admin role.

switch(config)# username usam role network-admin

write erase [boot]

Syntax Description

boot

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare Release 2.1(2).

Usage Guidelines

Once this command is entered, the switch's startup configuration reverts to factory defaults. The running configuration is not affected. The write erase command erases the entire startup configuration with the exception of the IP configuration of the mgmt0 IP configuration (IP address, netmask, and default gateway).

The write erase boot command erases the mgmt0 IP configuration information (IP address, netmask, and default gateway) and the startup configuration.

Examples

The following example clears only the startup configuration.

switch# write erase

The following example clears the startup configuration and the mgmt0 IP configuration.

switch# write erase boot
This command will erase the boot variables and the ip configuration of interface mgmt 0

zone default-zone

To define whether a default zone (nodes not assigned a created zone) permits or denies access to all in the default zone, use the zone default-zone command in configuration mode.

zone default-zone [permit]

To negate the command or revert to the factory defaults, use the no form of this command.

no zone default-zone [permit]

Syntax Description

permit

Permits access to all in the default zone.


Defaults

All default zones are permitted access.

zone name

To create a zone, use the zone name command in configuration mode.

zone name zone-name

To negate the command or revert to the factory defaults, use the no form of this command.

no zone name zone-name

Entering the zone name command opens the config-zone submode which provides access to the following subcommand:

member [fcalias alias-name | pwwn pwwn-id]

Syntax Description

zone-name

Specifies the name of the zone and opens the config-zonet submode. Maximum length is 64 characters.

member

Adds a member to a zone. This command is available only in the config-zone submode.

fcalias alias-name

Adds a member using the device alias name.

pwwn pwwn-id

Adds a member using the port WWN in the format hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh.


Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

Configuration

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 FabricWare Release 2.1(2).

Usage Guidelines

Zones are assigned to zone sets, zone sets are then activated from one switch and propagate across the fabric to all switches. Zones allow security by permitting and denying access between nodes (hosts and storage). zone name commands are entered from the configuration mode.

Broadcast frames are sent to all Nx ports.

If any NL port attached to an FL port shares a broadcast zone with the source of the broadcast frame,

then the frames are broadcast to all devices in the loop.

Examples

The following example configures members for the specified zone (Zone2) based on the member type (pWWN or FC alias) and value specified.

switch# config
switch(config)# zone name Zone2
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab
switch(config-zone)# member fcalias Payroll
