Cisco IOS Commands


aaa authentication dot1x

Use the aaa authentication dot1x global configuration command to specify one or more authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) methods for use on interfaces running IEEE 802.1X. Use the no form of this command to disable authentication.

aaa authentication dot1x {default} method1 [method2...]

no aaa authentication dot1x {default} method1 [method2...]

Syntax Description

default

Use the listed authentication methods that follow this argument as the default list of methods when a user logs in.

method1 [method2...]

At least one of these keywords:

enable—Use the enable password for authentication.

group radius—Use the list of all Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers for authentication.

line—Use the line password for authentication.

local—Use the local username database for authentication.

local-case—Use the case-sensitive local username database for authentication.

none—Use no authentication. The client is automatically authenticated by the switch without using the information supplied by the client.


Defaults

No authentication is performed.

Command Modes

Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The method argument identifies the list of methods that the authentication algorithm tries in the given sequence to validate the password provided by the client. The only method that is truly 802.1X-compliant is the group radius method, in which the client data is validated against a RADIUS authentication server. The remaining methods enable AAA to authenticate the client by using locally configured data. For example, the local and local-case methods use the username and password that are saved in the IOS configuration file. The enable and line methods use the enable and line passwords for authentication.

If you specify group radius, you must configure the RADIUS server by entering the radius-server host global configuration command.

If you are not using a RADIUS server, you can use the local or local-case methods, which access the local username database to perform authentication. By specifying the enable or line methods, you can supply the clients with a password to provide access to the switch.

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

Examples

This example shows how to enable AAA and how to create an authentication list for 802.1X. This authentication first tries to contact a RADIUS server. If this action returns an error, the user is allowed access with no authentication.

Switch(config)# aaa new model
Switch(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group radius none

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

Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Plan your access conditions carefully. The ACL is always terminated by an implicit deny statement for all packets.

You can use ACLs to control virtual terminal line access by controlling the transmission of packets on an interface.

Extended ACLs support only the TCP and UDP protocols.

Use the show ip access-lists command to display the contents of IP ACLs.

Use the show access-lists command to display the contents of all ACLs.


Note For more information about configuring IP ACLs, refer to the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter in the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to configure an extended IP ACL that allows only TCP traffic to the destination IP address 128.88.1.2 with a TCP port number of 25 and how to apply it to an interface:

Switch(config)# access-list 102 permit tcp any host 128.88.1.2 eq 25
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/8
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 102 in

This is an example of an extended ACL that allows TCP traffic only from two specified networks. The wildcard bits apply to the host portions of the network addresses. Any host with a source address that does not match the ACL statements is denied.

access-list 104 permit tcp 192.5.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
access-list 104 permit tcp 128.88.0.0 0.0.255.255 any

Note In these examples, all other IP access is implicitly denied.


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

channel-group

Use the channel-group interface configuration command to assign an Ethernet interface to an EtherChannel group. Use the no form of this command to remove an Ethernet interface from an EtherChannel group.

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

no channel-group

Syntax Description

channel-group-number

Specify the channel group number. The range is 1 to 6.

mode

Specify the EtherChannel Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) mode of the interface.

auto

Enable PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected.

Auto mode places an interface into a passive negotiating state, in which the interface responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not initiate PAgP packet negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in desirable mode. This setting is the default.

desirable

Unconditionally enable PAgP.

Desirable mode places an interface into an active negotiating state, in which the interface initiates negotiations with other interfaces by sending PAgP packets. A channel is formed with another port group in either the desirable or auto mode.

non-silent

(Optional) Used with the auto or desirable keyword when traffic is expected from the other device.

on

Force the interface to channel without PAgP.

With the on mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when an interface group in the on mode is connected to another interface group in the on mode.


Defaults

No channel groups are assigned.

There is no default mode.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced. It replaced the port group command.


Usage Guidelines

You must specify the mode when entering this command. If the mode is not entered, an Ethernet interface is not assigned to an EtherChannel group, and an error message appears.

You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface.

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

You can create port channels by entering the interface port-channel global configuration command or when the channel group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at runtime or dynamically.

Any configuration or attribute changes you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel, but are part of the channel group).

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

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, transmits 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 interface to a channel group, and to use the interface for transmission. Both ends of the link cannot be set to silent.


Caution You should exercise care when setting the mode to on (manual configuration). All ports configured in the on mode are bundled in the same group and are forced to have similar characteristics. If the group is misconfigured, packet loss or Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) loops might occur.

Examples

This example shows how to add an interface to the EtherChannel group specified as channel group 1:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode on

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

Related Commands

Command
Description

interface port-channel

Accesses or creates the port channel.

port-channel load-balance

Sets the load distribution method among the ports in the EtherChannel.

show etherchannel

Displays EtherChannel information for a channel.

show running-config

Displays the configuration information running on the switch. For syntax information, select Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for Release 12.1 > Cisco IOS File Management Commands > Configuration File Commands.


class

Use the class policy-map configuration command to define a traffic classification for the policy to act on using the class-map name or access group. Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map.

class class-map-name [access-group name acl-index-or-name]

no class class-map-name

This command is available only if your switch is running the enhanced software image (EI).

Syntax Description

class-map-name

Name of the class map.

access-group name acl-index-or-name

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


Defaults

No policy-map class maps are defined.

Command Modes

Policy-map configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Before you use the class command, use the policy-map global configuration command to identify the policy map and to enter policy-map configuration mode. After you specify a policy map, you can configure a policy for new classes or modify a policy for any existing classes in that policy map. You attach the policy map to an interface by using the service-policy interface configuration command; however, you cannot attach one that uses an ACL classification to the egress direction.

The class name that you specify in the policy map ties the characteristics for that class to the class map and its match criteria as configured by using the class-map global configuration command.

The class command performs the same function as the class-map global configuration command. Use the class command when a new classification, which is not shared with any other ports, is needed. Use the class-map command when the map is shared among many ports.


Note In a policy map, the class named class-default is not supported. The switch does not filter traffic based on the policy map defined by the class class-default policy-map configuration command.


After entering the class command, you enter policy-map class configuration mode. These configuration commands are available:

default: sets a command to its default.

exit: exits policy-map class configuration mode and returns to policy-map configuration mode.

no: returns a command to its default setting.

set: specifies a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value to be assigned to the classified traffic. For more information, see the set command.

police: defines a policer for the classified traffic. The policer specifies the bandwidth limitations and the action to take when the limits are exceeded. For more information, see the police command.

To return to policy-map configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode, use the end command.


Note For more information about configuring ACLs, refer to the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter in the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to create a policy map named policy1. When attached to the ingress port, it matches all the incoming traffic defined in class1 and polices the traffic at an average rate of 1 Mbps and bursts at 131072 bytes. Traffic exceeding the profile is dropped.

Switch(config)# policy-map policy1
Switch(config-pmap)# class class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 1000000 131072 exceed-action drop
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)#

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

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first 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. In this mode, you can enter one match command to configure the match criteria for this class.

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

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

exit: exits from QoS class-map configuration mode.

no: removes a match statement from a class map.

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

Only one match criterion per class map is supported. For example, when defining a class map, only one match command can be entered.

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


Note The switch does not support any deny conditions in an ACL configured in a class map.



Note For more information about configuring ACLs, refer to the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter in the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to configure the class map named class1. class1 has one match criteria, which is a numbered ACL.

Switch(config)# access-list 103 permit tcp any any eq 80
Switch(config)# class-map class1
Switch(config-cmap)# match access-group 103

If an MSTP and RSTP switch receives a legacy 802.1D configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) with the protocol version set to 0, it sends only 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 an RST BPDU (version 2).

However, the switch does not automatically revert to the MSTP mode if it no longer receives 802.1D BPDUs because it cannot determine 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 Fast Ethernet interface 0/1:

Switch# clear spanning-tree detected-protocols interface fastethernet0/1

cluster commander-address

You do not need to enter this command. The command switch automatically provides its MAC address to member switches when these switches join the cluster. The member switch adds this information and other cluster information to its running configuration file. Enter the no form of this global configuration command from the member switch console port to remove it 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 member switch. The range is from 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

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A cluster member can have only one command switch.

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

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

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

Examples

This is an example of text from the running configuration of a cluster member:

Switch(config)# show running-config

<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.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

Usage Guidelines

Use this command with the cluster timer global configuration command only on the command switch. The command switch propagates the values to all its cluster members so that the setting is consistent among all switches in the cluster.

The holdtime is typically set as a multiple of the interval timer (cluster timer). For example, it takes (holdtime-in-secs divided by interval-in-secs) number of heartbeat messages to be missed in a row to declare a switch down.

Examples

This example shows how to change the interval timer and the duration on the command switch:

Switch(config)# cluster timer 3

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Enter this command only on the command switch to add a member to or remove a member from the cluster. If you enter this command on a switch other than the 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 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 command-switch password.

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

If you do not specify a VLAN ID, the 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 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 command switch selects the next available member number and assigns it to the switch 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 command switch.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You must enter this command only on the command switch. If you enter it on a member switch, an error message appears.

The command switch propagates the cluster-HSRP binding information to all members. Each member switch stores the binding information in its nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

The HSRP group name must be a valid standby group; otherwise, the command entry produces an error.

Use the same group name on all members of the HSRP standby group that is to be bound to the cluster. Use the same HSRP group name on all cluster-HSRP capable members for the HSRP group that is to be bound. (When not binding a cluster to an HSRP group, you can use different names on the cluster command and the member switches.)

Examples

This example shows how to bind the HSRP group named my_hsrp to the cluster. This command is entered on the command switch.

Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp

This example shows the error message when this command is entered on a command switch and the specified HSRP standby group does not exist:

Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp
%ERROR:Standby (my_hsrp) group does not exist

This example shows the error message when this command is entered on a member switch:

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first 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; gigabitethernet 0/1-2 is not a valid range.

Valid values for type and interface:

vlan vlan-id, where vlan-id is from 1 to 4094 when the enhanced software image (EI) is installed and 1 to 1001 when the standard software image (SI) is installed.

port-channel port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 6

fastethernet interface-id

gigabitethernet interface-id

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.

For physical interfaces, the interface-id is defined as a slot/number (where slot is always 0 for the switch), and the range can be entered as type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2). You can also enter multiple ranges.

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

interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

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

interface range fastethernet0/3 - 7 , gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

Examples

This example shows how to create a multiple-interface macro:

Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 fastethernet 0/3 -7 , gigabitethernet 0/2

Usage Guidelines

The 802.1X protocol is supported on Layer 2 static-access ports.

You can use the auto keyword only if the port is not configured as one of these:

Trunk port—If you try to enable 802.1X on a trunk port, an error message appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you try to change the mode of an 802.1X-enabled port to trunk, the port mode is not changed.

Dynamic port—A port in dynamic mode can negotiate with its neighbor to become a trunk port. If you try to enable 802.1X on a dynamic port, an error appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you try to change the mode of an 802.1X-enabled port to dynamic, the port mode is not changed.

Dynamic-access port—If you try to enable 802.1X on a dynamic-access (VLAN Query Protocol [VQP]) port, an error appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you try to change an 802.1X-enabled port to dynamic VLAN assignment, an error appears, and the VLAN configuration is not changed.

EtherChannel port—Before enabling 802.1X on the port, you must first remove it from the EtherChannel. If you try to enable 802.1X on an EtherChannel or on an active port in an EtherChannel, an error appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you enable 802.1X on a not-yet active port of an EtherChannel, the port does not join the EtherChannel.

Secure port—You cannot configure a secure port as an 802.1X port. If you try to enable 802.1X on a secure port, an error appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you try to change an 802.1X-enabled port to a secure port, an error appears, and the security settings are not changed.

Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination port—You can enable 802.1X on a port that is a SPAN destination port; however, 802.1X is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination. You can enable 802.1X on a SPAN source port.

To globally disable 802.1X on the switch, you must disable it on each port. There is no global configuration command for this task.

Examples

This example shows how to enable 802.1X on Fast Ethernet interface 0/1:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto

You can verify your settings by entering the show dot1x privileged EXEC command and checking the Status column in the 802.1X Port Summary section of the output. An enabled status means the port-control value is set either to auto or to force-unauthorized.

Release
Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Certain ports, such as GBIC module ports, can be configured to be either full duplex or half duplex. The applicability of this command depends on the device to which the switch is attached.

The 100BASE-FX ports on Catalyst 2950C-24 switches do not support the duplex command. These ports only operate in full-duplex and 100-Mbps mode.

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

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.


Note The 10/100/1000 ports can operate only in the full-duplex mode.


If both the speed and duplex are set to specific values, autonegotiation is disabled.


Note For guidelines on setting the switch speed and duplex parameters, refer to the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Hardware Installation Guide.


Examples

This example shows how to set a Fast Ethernet port to half duplex:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/11
Switch(config-if)# duplex half

This example shows how to set a Gigabit Ethernet port to full duplex:

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

Modification

12.1(6)EA2

The bpduguard, rootguard, and udld keywords were removed. The gbic-invalid keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

A cause (dtp-flap, gbic-invalid, link-flap, and pagp-flap) is the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in error-disabled state, an operational state similar to link-down state. If you do not enable errdisable recovery for the cause, the interface stays in the error-disabled state until you enter the shutdown and 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.

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 disable detection for the link-flap error-disable cause:

Switch(config)# errdisable detect cause link-flap

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

flowcontrol

Use the flowcontrol interface configuration command to set the receive or send flow-control value for an interface. When flow control send is 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 the remote 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 and send off keywords to disable flow control.

flowcontrol {receive | send} {desired | off | on}


Note This flowcontrol command applies only to 10/100/1000 ports and Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)-module ports on the switches.


Syntax Description

receive

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

send

Sets whether the interface can send flow-control packets to a remote device.

desired

When used with receive, allows 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.
When used with send, the interface sends flow-control packets to a remote device if the remote device supports it.

off

When used with receive, turns off an attached device's ability to send flow-control packets to an interface. When used with send, turns off the local port's ability to send flow-control packets to a remote device.

on

When used with receive, allows 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.
When used with send, the interface sends flow-control packets to a remote device if the remote device supports it.

Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.

12.1(6)EA2

The asymmetric and symmetric keywords were replaced with the receive, send, off, on, and desired keywords.


Usage Guidelines

Use the flowcontrol command only on 10/100/1000 and GBIC-module ports.

We strongly recommend that you do not configure IEEE 802.3X flowcontrol when quality of service (QoS) is configured on the switch. Before configuring flowcontrol on an interface, make sure to disable QoS on the switch.

Note that when used with receive, 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 and send on: Flow control operates in both directions; pause frames can be sent by both the local device and the remote device to show link congestion.

receive on and send desired: The port can receive pause frames and is able to send pause frames if the attached device supports them.

receive on and send off: 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 is able to receive pause frames.

receive off and send on: The port sends pause frames if the remote device supports them, but cannot receive pause frames from the remote device.

receive off and send desired: The port cannot receive pause frames, but can send pause frames if the attached device supports them.

receive off and send 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 resolution achieved on local and remote ports by a combination of settings. The table assumes that for receive, using the desired keyword has the same results as using the on keyword.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(5.2)WC(1)

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When creating a management VLAN interface, a space between vlan and number is accepted.

Only one management VLAN interface can be active.

You cannot delete the management VLAN 1 interface.

You can use the no shutdown interface configuration command to shut down the active management VLAN interface and to enable a new one.

You can configure the management VLAN interface on static-access and trunk ports.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the switch to configure interface 2:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to change the management VLAN from the default management VLAN to VLAN 3. This series of commands should only be entered from the console. If these commands are entered through a Telnet session, the shutdown command disconnects the session, and there is no way to use IP to access the system.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface vlan 3
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.20.128.176 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# exit

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

Defaults

No port-channel logical interfaces are defined.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

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 interface and not on the port-channel interface.

On the port-channel interface, if you do not assign a static MAC address or if you assign a static MAC address and then later remove it, the switch automatically assigns a MAC address to the interface.

Examples

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

Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5

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

Related Commands

interface range

Use the interface range global configuration command to enter interface range configuration mode and to execute a command on multiple ports at the same time. Use the no form of this command to remove an interface range.

interface range {port-range | macro name}

no interface range {port-range | macro name}

Syntax Description

port-range

Port range. For a list of valid values for port-range, see the "Usage Guidelines" section.

macro name

Specify the name of a macro.


Defaults

This command has no default setting.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

From the interface range configuration mode, all interface parameters that you enter are applied to all interfaces within the range.

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

All configuration changes made to an interface range are saved to nonvolatile RAM (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

You can define up to five interface ranges with a single command, with each range separated by a comma (,).

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.

These are the valid values for port-range type and interface:

vlan vlan-id, where vlan-id is from 1 to 4094 when the enhanced software image (EI) is installed and 1 to 1001 when the standard software image (SI) is installed.

port-channel port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 6

fastethernet interface-id

gigabitethernet interface-id

For physical interfaces, the interface-id is defined as a slot/number (where slot is always 0 for the switch), and the range is entered as type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2). You can also enter multiple ranges.

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

interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

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

interface range fastethernet0/3 - 7 , gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

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

A single interface can also be specified in port-range. (The command is then similar to the interface interface-id global configuration command.)


Note For more information about configuring interface ranges, refer to the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to use the interface range command to enter interface range configuration mode and to enter commands for 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 the macro1 until you delete it.

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

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

This command is available on physical interfaces only if your switch is running the enhanced software image (EI).

Syntax Description

access-list-number

Number of the IP access control list (ACL), from 1 to 199 or from 1300 to 2699.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can apply IP ACLs only to ingress interfaces. If a MAC access group is already defined for an interface, you cannot apply this command to the interface.

The ACLs can be standard or extended.

For standard ACLs, after receiving a packet, the switch checks the packet source address. If the source address matches a defined address in the ACL and the list permits the address, the switch forwards the packet.

For extended ACLs, after receiving the packet, the switch checks the match conditions in the ACL. If the conditions are matched, the switch forwards the packet.

If the specified ACL does not exist, the switch forwards all packets.

IP access groups can be separated on Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces.


Note For more information about configuring IP ACLs, refer to the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter in the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Software Configuration Guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to apply a numbered ACL to an interface:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in

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

The MAC address notification feature sends Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps to the network management system (NMS) whenever a MAC address is added or deleted from the forwarding tables. MAC notifications are generated only for dynamic and secure MAC addresses. Events are not generated for self addresses, multicast addresses, or other static addresses.

When you configure the history-size option, the existing MAC address history table is deleted, and a new table is created.

You enable the MAC address notification feature by using the mac address-table notification command. You must also enable MAC address notification traps on an interface by using the snmp trap mac-notification interface configuration command, and configure the switch to send MAC address traps to the NMS by using the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification global configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the MAC notification feature:

Switch(config)# mac address-table notification

This example shows how to set the notification-trap interval to 60 seconds:

Switch(config)# mac address-table notification interval 60

This example shows how to set the number of entries in the history table to 32:

Switch(config)# mac address-table notification history-size 32

You can verify your settings by entering the show mac address-table notification 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 the port is CoS trusted and packets are untagged, the default CoS value becomes a CoS value used to select one output queue to index into the CoS-to-Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) map. 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

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can use the default value to assign CoS and DSCP values to all packets entering a port if the port has been configured 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 was previously set to trust DSCP or CoS, this command overrides that 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:

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:

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.

Usage Guidelines

All the maps are globally defined. You apply all maps to all ports.

If you enter the mls qos trust cos command, the default CoS-to-DSCP map is applied.

If you enter the mls qos trust dscp command, the default DSCP-to-CoS map is applied.

After a default map is applied, you can define the CoS-to-DSCP or DSCP-to-CoS map by entering consecutive mls qos map commands.

The supported DSCP values are 0, 8, 10, 16, 18, 24, 26, 32, 34, 40, 46, 48, and 56. If the mls qos trust dscp command is entered and a packet with an untrusted DSCP value is at an ingress port, the packet CoS value is set to 0.


Note The switches do not support the dscp-mutation, dscp-switch-priority, ip-prec-dscp, and policed-dscp options.


Examples

This example shows how to define the DSCP-to-CoS map. DSCP values 16, 18, 24, and 26 are mapped to CoS 1. DSCP values 0, 8, and 10 are mapped to CoS 0.

mls qos trust

Use the mls qos trust interface configuration command to configure the port trust state. Ingress traffic can be trusted, and classification is performed by examining the class of service (CoS) or the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. Use the no form of this command to return a port to its untrusted state.

mls qos trust [cos [pass-through dscp] | device cisco-phone | dscp]

no mls qos trust [cos [pass-through dscp] | device cisco-phone | dscp]

Syntax Description

cos

(Optional) Classify ingress packets with packet CoS values. For untagged packets, the port default CoS value is used.

cos pass-through dscp

(Optional) Configure the interface to classify ingress packets by trusting the CoS value and to send packets without modifying the DSCP value (pass-through mode).

device cisco-phone

(Optional) Classify ingress packets by trusting the value sent from the Cisco IP phone (trusted boundary).

dscp

(Optional) Classify ingress packets with packet DSCP values (most significant 6 bits of the 8-bit service-type field). For non-IP packets, the packet CoS value is set to 0. This keyword is available only if your switch is running the enhanced software image (EI).


Defaults

The port is not trusted.

Pass-through mode is disabled.

Trusted boundary is disabled.

If no keyword is specified and the switch is running the EI, the default is dscp.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.

12.1(11)EA1

The device cisco-phone and pass-through dscp keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

Packets entering a quality of service (QoS) domain are classified at the edge of the QoS 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.

When a port is configured with trust DSCP and the incoming packet is a tagged non-IP packet, the CoS value for the packet is set to 0, and the DSCP-to-CoS map is not applied. For an untagged non-IP packet, the default port CoS value is used.

If DSCP is trusted, the DSCP field of the IP packet is not modified. However, it is still possible that the CoS value of the packet is modified (according to the DSCP-to-CoS map).

If CoS is trusted, the CoS of the packet is not modified, but DSCP can be modified (according to the CoS-to-DSCP map) if it is an IP packet.

To return a port to the untrusted state, use the no mls qos trust interface configuration command.

The trusted boundary feature prevents security problems if users disconnect their PCs from networked Cisco IP phones and connect them into the switch port to take advantage of trusted CoS settings. You must globally enable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on both the switch and on the interface connected to the IP phone. If the phone is not detected, trusted boundary disables the trust setting on the switch port and prevents misuse of a high-priority queue.

If trusted boundary is enabled and the no mls qos trust command is entered, the port returns to the untrusted state and cannot be configured to trust if it is connected to a Cisco IP phone.

To disable trusted boundary, use the no mls qos trust device interface configuration command.

In software releases earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1, the switch is in pass-through mode. It uses the CoS value of incoming packets without modifying the DSCP value and sends the packets from one of the four egress queues. You cannot enable or disable pass-through mode if your switch is running a software release earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1.

In Release 12.1(11)EA1 or later, pass-through mode is disabled by default. The switch assigns a CoS value of 0 to all incoming packets without modifying the packets. It offers best-effort service to each packet regardless of the packet contents or size and sends it from a single egress queue.

You can enable pass-through mode on a switch running Release 12.1(11)EA1 or later by using the mls qos trust cos pass-through dscp interface configuration command. To disable pass-through mode, use the no mls qos trust cos pass-through interface configuration command.


Note In software releases earlier than Release 12.1(11)EA1, the mls qos trust command is available only when the switch is running the EI.


Examples

This example shows how to configure a port to be a DSCP-trusted port:

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

Note The mls qos trust dscp command is available only when the switch is running the EI.


This example shows how to specify that the Cisco IP phone is a trusted device:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mls qos trust device cisco-phone

To use the RSPAN feature, you must have the enhanced software image (EI) installed on your switch.

Syntax Description

session_number

Specify the session number identified with the SPAN or RSPAN session.

destination interface interface-id

Specify the destination interface for a local SPAN session. Valid interfaces are physical ports.

encapsulation

(Optional) Specify the encapsulation header for outgoing packets through a destination port. If encapsulation type is not specified, packets are sent in native form. To reconfigure a destination port in native form, enter the command without the encapsulation keyword.

These RSPAN keywords were added: encapsulation, destination remote vlan reflector-port, source remote vlan, all, local, remote.


Usage Guidelines

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

You can configure (and store in NVRAM) one local SPAN session or multiple RSPAN sessions on a switch. The number of active sessions and combinations are subject to these restrictions:

SPAN or RSPAN source (rx, tx, both): one active session limit. (SPAN and RSPAN are mutually exclusive on a source switch).

RSPAN source sessions have one destination per session with an RSPAN VLAN associated for that session.

Each RSPAN destination session has one or more destination interfaces for each RSPAN VLAN that it supports.

RSPAN destination sessions are limited to two, or one if a local SPAN or a source RSPAN session is configured on the same switch.

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

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

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

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

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

You can enable 802.1X on a port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port; however, 802.1X is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination. (If 802.1X is not available on the port, the switch will return an error message.) You can enable 802.1X on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.

Examples

This example shows how to create SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source interface 0/1 on destination interface 0/8:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface fastEthernet0/1 both
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface fastEthernet0/8

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

Switch(config)# no monitor session 2 destination fastEthernet0/4

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

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface fastEthernet0/10 tx

mvr

Use the mvr global configuration command without keywords to enable the multicast VLAN registration (MVR) feature on the switch. Use the no form of this command to disable MVR and its options. Use the command with keywords to set the MVR mode for a switch, to configure the MVR IP multicast address, to set the maximum time to wait for a query reply before removing a port from group membership, and to specify the MVR multicast VLAN. Use the no form of this command to return the switch to the default settings.

mvr [group ip-address [count] | mode {compatible | dynamic} | querytime value | vlan vlan-id]

no mvr [group ip-address | mode {compatible | dynamic} | querytime value | vlan vlan-id]

Syntax Description

group ip-address

(Optional) Statically configure an MVR group IP multicast address on the switch.

Use the no form of this command to remove a statically configured IP multicast address or contiguous addresses or, when no IP address is entered, to remove all statically configured MVR IP multicast addresses.

count

(Optional) Configure multiple contiguous MVR group addresses. The range is from 1 to 256. The default is 1.

mode

(Optional) Specify the MVR mode of operation.

The default is compatible mode.

compatible

Set MVR mode to provide compatibility with Catalyst 2900 XL and 3500 XL switches. This mode does not allow dynamic membership joins on source ports.

dynamic

Set MVR mode to allow dynamic MVR membership on source ports.

querytime value

(Optional) Set the maximum time to wait for Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) report memberships on a receiver port. This time applies only to receiver-port leave processing. When an IGMP query is sent from a receiver port, the switch waits for the default or configured MVR query time for an IGMP group membership report before removing the port from multicast group membership.

The value is the response time in units of tenths of a second. The default is 5 tenths or one-half second. The range is 1 to 100 tenths of a second.

Use the no form of the command to return to the default setting.

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Specify the VLAN on which MVR multicast data is expected to be received. This is also the VLAN to which all the source ports belong. The default is VLAN 1. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4094 when the enhanced software image (EI) is installed and 1 to 1001 when the standard software image (SI) is installed. Do not enter leading zeros.


Defaults

MVR is disabled.

The default MVR mode is compatible mode.

No IP multicast addresses are configured on the switch.

The default group IP address count is 0.

The default query response time is 5 tenths of or one-half second.

The default multicast VLAN for MVR is VLAN 1.

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A maximum of 256 MVR multicast groups can be configured on a switch.

Use the mvr group command to statically configure all the IP multicast addresses that will take part in MVR. Any multicast data sent to a configured multicast address is sent to all the source ports on the switch and to all receiver ports registered to receive data on that IP multicast address.


Note The mvr group command prevents adding IP multicast addresses that cause address aliasing between MVR multicast groups or with the reserved IP multicast addresses (in the range 224.0.0.xx). Each IP multicast address translates to a multicast 48-bit MAC address. If the IP address being configured translates (aliases) to the same 48-bit MAC address as a previously configured IP multicast address or the reserved MAC multicast addresses, the command fails.


The mvr querytime parameter applies only to receiver ports.

The mvr group and mvr vlan commands only apply to ports configured as receiver ports.

If the switch MVR is interoperating with Catalyst 2900 XL or Catalyst 3500 XL switches, set the multicast mode to compatible.

When in compatible mode, MVR does not support IGMP dynamic joins on MVR source ports.

Examples

This example shows how to enable MVR:

Switch(config)# mvr

This example shows how to disable MVR:

Switch(config)# no mvr

This example shows how to configure 228.1.23.4 as an IP multicast address:

Switch(config)# mvr group 230.1.23.4

Cannot add this IP address - aliases with previously configured IP address 228.1.23.4. 

This example shows how to configure ten contiguous IP multicast groups with multicast addresses from 228.1.23.1 to 228.1.23.10:

Switch(config)# mvr group 228.1.23.1 10

This example shows how to delete the previously configured ten IP multicast addresses:

Switch(config)# no mvr group 228.1.23.1 10

The Immediate-Leave feature applies only to receiver ports. When the Immediate-Leave feature is enabled, a receiver port leaves a multicast group more quickly. When the switch receives an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) leave message from a group on a receiver port, it sends an IGMP query on that port and waits for IGMP group membership reports. If no reports are received in a configured time period, the receiver port is removed from multicast group membership. With the Immediate-Leave feature, an IGMP query is not sent from the receiver port on which the IGMP leave was received. As soon as the leave message is received, the receiver port is removed from multicast group membership, thus speeding up leave latency.

The Immediate-Leave feature should only be enabled on receiver ports to which a single receiver device is connected.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the Immediate-Leave feature on a port:

Switch(config-if)# mvr immediate

This example shows how to disable the Immediate-Leave feature on a port:

Switch(config-if)# no mvr immediate

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

Usage Guidelines

Configure a port as a source port if that port should be able to both send and receive multicast data bound for the configured multicast groups. Multicast data is received on all ports configured as source ports.

Configure a port as a receiver port if that port should only be able to receive multicast data and should not be able to send multicast data to the configured multicast groups. None of the receiver ports receives multicast data unless it sends an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) group join message for a multicast group.

A receiver port configured as a static member of a multicast group remains a member until statically removed from membership.


Note All receiver ports must not be trunk ports and must not belong to the MVR source VLAN.


A port that is not taking part in MVR should not be configured as an MVR receiver port or source port. This port is a normal switch port and is able to send and receive multicast data with normal switch behavior.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a port as an MVR receiver port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr type receiver

This example shows how to configure a port as an MVR source port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/3
Switch(config-if)# mvr type source

This example shows how to return a port to the default setting:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/5
Switch(config-if)# no mvr type receiver

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

Usage Guidelines

The receiver port belongs to a multicast VLAN.

The group address is configured as a MVR group address.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a static MVR group entry on port 0/1 in VLAN 10:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 10 group 225.1.1.1

This example shows how to remove an entry on port 0/3 in VLAN 10:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/3
Switch(config-if)# no mvr 10 group 255.1.1.2

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

pagp learn-method

Use the pagp learn-method interface configuration command to set the source-address learning method of incoming packets received from an EtherChannel port. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

pagp learn-method aggregation-port

no pagp learn-method

Syntax Description

aggregation-port

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



Note Though visible in the command-line help strings, the physical-port keyword is not supported.


Defaults

The default is aggregation-port (logical port channel).

Command Modes

12.1(6)EA2

This command was first introduced.


Usage Guidelines

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 affect on the switch hardware.


Note You should not set the learn method to physical-port because the switch is an aggregate-learning device.


If the link partner to the switch is a physical learner that has the channel-group interface configuration command set to auto or desirable, the switch automatically uses the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address, regardless of the configured load-distribution method.

If the link partner to the switch is a physical learner that has the channel-group interface configuration command set to on, set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using the port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to set the learning method to aggregation-port (the default):

Switch(config-if)# pagp learn-method aggregation-port

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config or show pagp channel-group-number internal privileged EXEC command.
