sdm prefer

Use the sdm prefer global configuration command to configure the template used in Switch Database Management (SDM) resource allocation. You use a template to allocate system memory to best support the features being used in your application. Use a template to approximate the maximum number of unicast MAC addresses, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups, quality of service (QoS) access control entries (ACEs), security ACEs, unicast routes, multicast routes, subnet VLANs (routed interfaces), and Layer 2 VLANs that can be configured on the switch. Use the no form of this command to return to the default template.

sdm prefer {access [extended-match] | extended-match | routing [extended-match] | vlan}

no sdm prefer

Syntax Description

access

Provide maximum system utilization for multicast traffic, QoS classification ACEs, and security ACEs. You would typically use this template for an access switch at the network edge.

extended-match

Reformat routing-table memory allocation to allow 144-bit Layer 3 ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) with the default template, the access template, or the routing template. Reformatting routing table memory space reduces the number of allowed unicast routes by one half.

routing

Provide maximum system utilization for unicast routing, minimizing QoS classification ACLs and security ACLs. You would typically use this template for a router or aggregator in the middle of a network.

vlan

Provide maximum system utilization for VLANs, with routing disabled. This template maximizes system memory for use as a Layer 2 switch with no routing.


Defaults

The default template provides a balance to all features.

Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(6)EA1

Template values revised. Templates for Fast Ethernet switches were added.

12.1(8)EA1

Template values for Gigabit Ethernet switches were revised.

12.1(11)EA1

The extended-match keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

You must reload the switch for the configuration to take effect.

The sdm prefer vlan command disables routing capability in the switch. Any routing configurations are rejected after the reload, and any previously configured routing options might be lost. Use the sdm prefer vlan command only on switches intended for Layer 2 switching with no routing.

Do not use the routing template if you do not have routing enabled on your switch. Entering the sdm prefer routing global configuration command prevents other features from using the memory allocated to unicast and multicast routing in the routing template (approximately 17 K for Fast Ethernet switches and 30 K for Gigabit Ethernet switches).

When running the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) or multiple Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing/forwarding (multi-VRF) instances in customer edge (CE) devices (multi-VRF CE), extra fields are required in the routing tables stored in TCAM. You must use the extended-match keyword with the default, access, or routing templates to enable the switch to support 144-bit Layer 3 TCAM when using these features. The keyword reformats the memory space allocated for routing, reducing the number of allowed unicast routes by half.

Table 2-12 lists the approximate number of each resource supported in each of the four templates for a Gigabit Ethernet switch. Table 2-13 lists the approximate number supported for a switch with mostly Fast Ethernet ports. The first six rows in the tables (unicast MAC addresses through multicast routes) represent approximate hardware boundaries set when a template is selected. If a section of a hardware resource is full, all processing overflow is sent to the CPU, seriously impacting switch performance.

The last two rows, the total number of routed ports and SVIs and the number of Layer 2 VLANs, are guidelines used to calculate hardware resource consumption related to the other resource parameters.

The number of subnet VLANs (routed ports and SVIs) are not limited by software and can be set to a number higher than indicated in the tables. If the number of subnet VLANs configured is lower or equal to the number in the tables, the number of entries in each category (Unicast addresses, IGMP groups, and so on) for each template will be as indicated. As the number of subnet VLANs is increased, CPU utilization will typically increase. If the number of subnet VLANs is increased beyond the number indicated in the tables, the number of supported entries in each category may decrease depending on features that are enabled. For example, if PIM-DVMRP is enabled with more than 16 subnet VLANs, the number of entries for multicast routes will be in the range of 1K-5K entries for the access template.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the routing template on the switch:

Switch(config)# sdm prefer routing
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload

This example shows how to configure the routing template with a 144-bit routing table allocation:

Switch(config)# sdm prefer routing extended-match
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload

This example shows how to remove the routing template and to use the default template with the standard 72-bit routing table allocation:

Switch(config)# no sdm prefer routing
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload

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

service password-recovery

Use the service password-recovery global configuration command to enable the password-recovery mechanism (the default). Use the no form of this command to disable part of the password-recovery functionality. When the password-recovery mechanism is disabled, interrupting the boot process is allowed only if the user agrees to set the system back to the default configuration.

service password-recovery

no service password-recovery

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(6)EA1a

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is valid only on Catalyst 3550 Fast Ethernet switches; it is not available for Gigabit Ethernet switches.

As a system administrator, you can use the no service password-recovery command to disable some of the functionality of the password recovery feature by allowing an end user to reset a password only by agreeing to return to the default configuration.

The password-recovery mechanism has been triggered, but
is currently disabled.  Access to the boot loader prompt
through the password-recovery mechanism is disallowed at
this point.  However, if you agree to let the system be
reset back to the default system configuration, access
to the boot loader prompt can still be allowed.

Would you like to reset the system back to the default configuration (y/n)?

If the user chooses not to reset the system back to the default configuration, the normal boot process continues, as if the Mode button had not been pressed. If you choose to reset the system back to the default configuration, the configuration file in flash memory is deleted, and the VLAN database file, flash:vlan.dat (if present), is deleted.


Note If you use the no service password-recovery command to control end user access to passwords, we recommend that you save a copy of the config file in a location away from the switch in case the end user uses the password recovery procedure and sets the system back to default values. Do not keep a backup copy of the config file on the switch.

If the switch is operating in VTP transparent mode, we recommend that you also save a copy of the vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch.


You can verify if password recovery is enabled or disabled by entering the show version privileged EXEC command.

Examples

This example shows how to disable password recovery on a switch so that a user can only reset a password by agreeing to return to the default configuration:

Switch(config)# no service-password recovery
Switch(config)# exit

This is an example of the output from the show version privileged EXEC command when password-recovery is disable:

Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Only one policy map per interface per direction is supported.

You cannot use the service-policy interface configuration command to attach policy maps that contain these elements to an egress interface:

set or trust policy-map class configuration commands. Instead, you can use the police policy-map class configuration command to mark down (reduce) the DSCP value at the egress interface.

Access control list (ACL) classification.

Per-port per-VLAN classification.

The only match criterion in a policy map that can be attached to an egress interface is the match ip dscp dscp-list class-map configuration command.

A classification that uses a port trust state (for example, mls qos trust [cos | dscp | ip-precedence] and classification that uses a policy map (for example, service-policy input policy-map-name) are mutually exclusive. The last setting configured overwrites the previous configuration.

Examples

This example shows how to apply plcmap1 to an ingress interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy input plcmap1

This example shows how to apply plcmap2 to an egress interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output plcmap2

This example shows how to detach plcmap2 from an interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# no service-policy input plcmap2

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

set

Use the set policy-map class configuration command to classify IP traffic by setting a class of service (CoS), Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), or IP-precedence value in the packet. Use the no form of this command to remove the traffic classification.

set {cos new-cos | dscp new-dscp | ip precedence new-precedence}

no set {cos new-cos | dscp new-dscp | ip precedence new-precedence}


Note Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SE, the set dscp new-dscp command replaces the set ip dscp new-dscp command.


Syntax Description

cos new-cos

New CoS value assigned to the classified traffic. The range is from 0 to 7.

dscp new-dscp

New DSCP value assigned to the classified traffic. The range is 0 to 63. You also can enter a mnemonic name for a commonly used value.

ip precedence new-precedence

New IP-precedence value assigned to the classified traffic. The range is 0 to 7. You also can enter a mnemonic name for a commonly used value.


Defaults

No traffic classification is defined.

Command Modes

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(12c)EA1

The cos keyword was added.

12.2(25)SE

The ip dscp new-dscp keyword was changed to dscp new-dscp.


Usage Guidelines

Within the same policy map, you should not use the set command with the trust policy-map class configuration command unless you also use the mls qos cos policy-map global configuration command. For information about using this command, see the "mls qos cos policy-map" section on page 2-247.

You cannot use the service-policy interface configuration command to attach policy maps that contain these elements to an egress interface:

set or trust policy-map class configuration commands. Instead, you can use the police policy-map class configuration command to mark down (reduce) the DSCP value at the egress interface.

Access control list (ACL) classification.

Per-port per-VLAN classification.

The only match criterion in a policy map that can be attached to an egress interface is the match ip dscp dscp-list class-map configuration command.

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

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

Examples

This example shows how to assign DSCP 10 to all FTP traffic without any policers:

Switch(config)# policy-map policy_ftp
Switch(config-pmap)# class ftp_class
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 10
Switch(config-pmap)# exit

This example shows how to assign a CoS value in a policy map:

Switch(config)# mls qos cos policy-map
Switch(config)# policy-map policy2
Switch(config-pmap)# class class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# trust dscp
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set cos 3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit

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

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Express Setup is enabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(14)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When Express Setup is enabled on a new (unconfigured) switch, pressing the Mode button for 2 seconds activates Express Setup. You can access the switch through an Ethernet port by using the IP address 10.0.0.1 and then can configure the switch with the web-based Express Setup program or the command-line interface (CLI)-based setup program.

When you press the Mode button for 2 seconds on a configured switch, the mode LEDs start blinking. If you press the Mode button for a total of 10 seconds, the switch configuration is deleted, and the switch reboots. The switch can then be configured like a new switch, either through the web-based Express Setup program or the CLI-based setup program.


Note As soon as you make any change to the switch configuration (including entering no at the beginning of the CLI-based setup program), configuration by Express Setup is no longer available. You can only run Express Setup again by pressing the Mode button for 10 seconds. This deletes the switch configuration and reboots the switch.


If Express Setup is active on the switch, entering the write memory or copy running-configuration startup-configuration privileged EXEC commands deactivates Express Setup. The IP address 10.0.0.1 is no longer valid on the switch, and your connection using this IP address ends.

The primary purpose of the no setup express command is to prevent someone from deleting the switch configuration by pressing the Mode button for 10 seconds.

Examples

This example shows how to enable Express Setup mode:

Switch(config)# setup express

You can verify that Express Setup mode is enabled by pressing the Mode button:

On an unconfigured switch, the mode LEDs begin blinking green after 2 seconds.

On a configured switch, the mode LEDs turn solid green after a total of 10 seconds.


Caution If you hold the Mode button down for a total of 10 seconds, the configuration is deleted, and the switch reboots.

This example shows how to disable Express Setup mode:

Switch(config)# no setup express

You can verify that Express Setup mode is disabled by pressing the Mode button. The mode LEDs only turn solid green or begin blinking green if Express Setup mode is enabled on the switch.

Field
Description

BOOT path-list

Displays a semicolon separated list of executable files to try to load and execute when automatically booting.

If the BOOT environment variable is not set, the system attempts to load and execute the first executable image it can find by using a recursive, depth-first search through the flash file system. In a depth-first search of a directory, each encountered subdirectory is completely searched before continuing the search in the original directory.

If the BOOT variable is set but the specified images cannot be loaded, the system attempts to boot the first bootable file that it can find in the flash file system.

Config file

Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the system configuration.

Private Config file

Displays the filename that Cisco IOS uses to read and write a nonvolatile copy of the private configuration.

Note Only the Cisco IOS software can read and write a copy of the private configuration file. You cannot read, write, delete, or display a copy of this file.

Enable Break

Displays whether a break during booting is enabled or disabled. If it is set to yes, on, or 1, you can interrupt the automatic boot process by pressing the Break key on the console after the flash file system is initialized.

Manual Boot

Displays whether the switch automatically or manually boots. If it is set to no or 0, the boot loader attempts to automatically boot the system. If it is set to anything else, you must manually boot the switch from the boot loader mode.

Helper path-list

Displays a semicolon separated list of loadable files to dynamically load during the boot loader initialization. Helper files extend or patch the functionality of the boot loader.

NVRAM/Config file buffer size

Displays the buffer size that Cisco IOS uses to hold a copy of the configuration file in memory. The configuration file cannot be larger than the buffer size allocation.

Usage Guidelines

If you do not specify a port, global parameters and a summary appear. If you specify a port, details for that port appear.

If the port control is configured as unidirectional or bidirectional control and this setting conflicts with the switch configuration, the show dot1x {all | interface interface-id} privileged EXEC command output has this information:

ControlDirection          = In (Inactive)

If you do not specify an interface, global parameters and a summary appear. If you specify an interface, details for that interface appear.

If you specify the statistics keyword without the interface interface-id option, statistics appear for all interfaces. If you specify the statistics keyword with the interface interface-id option, statistics appear for the specified interface.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

show fm

Use the show fm privileged EXEC command to display feature-manager information for a specified port label or VLAN label to list features associated with that label, including if any features were not able to fit in the hardware or if configuration conflicts have occurred. Use the show fm interface or show fm vlan command to determine the port-label or vlan-label number.

show fm {{port-label label-id} | {vlan-label label-id}} [ | {begin | exclude | include} expression]

Syntax Description

port-label label-id

Port labels are used features configured on a port, such as port ACLs. The range is 0 to 127.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(9)EA1

The label keyword was replaced by the port-label and vlan-label keywords.


Usage Guidelines

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

When the output shows Conflicts exist with other access groups, there is a configuration conflict with access control lists (ACLs) on the switch. You are trying to apply a port ACL to a switch that already has VLAN maps or input router ACLs applied; or you are trying to apply an input router ACL or VLAN map to a switch that has port ACLs applied.

When the output shows an unloaded indicator or no number following the Loaded into CAM(s): entry, the feature was not loaded in the hardware. To allocate more system resources to maximize the number of security ACLs that can fit in the hardware, you can use the sdm prefer access global configuration command to set the Switch Database Management feature to the access template.

If the output shows a merge failure, the sdm prefer access global configuration command has no effect.

Examples

You can enter the show fm interface privileged EXEC command for an interface to learn the port-label number for the port. You can then enter the show fm port-label privileged EXEC command to display more details, as shown in this example:

Switch# show fm interface gigabitethernet0/1
Conflicts exist with layer 3 access groups.
Input Port Label:2
Switch# show fm port-label 2
Conflicts exist with layer 3 access groups.
Needed in CAM(s):1
Loaded into CAM(s):1
Sent to CPU by CAM(s):
Interfaces: Gi0/1
IP Access Group:ip3 0 VMRs
DHCP Broadcast Suppression Disabled.
MAC Access Group:(None) 0 VMRs

This example of the show fm port-label 3 output shows that there was not enough room in hardware to load an ACL. Label 3 is needed in CAM 1 but is not loaded in CAM 1; instead, it is sent to the CPU.

Switch# show fm port-label 3
Needed in CAM(s):1
Loaded into CAM(s):
Sent to CPU by CAM(s):1
Interfaces: Gi0/3
IP Access Group:100 3400 VMRs
DHCP Broadcast Suppression Disabled.
MAC Access Group:(None) 2 VMRs

This is an example of output from the show fm vlan-label command when there has been a merge failure on an input access-group:

Switch# show fm vlan-label 1
Unloaded due to merge failure or lack of space:
  InputAccessGroup 
  Merge Fail:input
Input Features:

  Access Group:(none), 0 VMRs

This is an example of output from the show fm vlan-label command when there was not enough room for an input access group in the hardware:

Switch# show fm vlan-label 1
Unloaded due to merge failure or lack of space:
  InputAccessGroup

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If you enter this command without any arguments, you enter a dialog mode. This mode is not operational in this release.

Because of the many and varied items that go into the forwarding decision, this command requires detailed information about the frame in order to correctly indicate how the hardware would forward the frame.

This command has limited ability to account for QoS settings. It does not take into account any packet arrival rates, so if the system has been configured to mark down or police traffic based on data arrival rates, the command will display inaccurate information for traffic that exceeds the configured rates.

If QoS or ACLs are not configured, and if no port-channel interfaces are present, the most important parameters to specify are source interface, source VLAN, destination MAC address, and destination IP address (if applicable). The output is likely to be accurate, even if other parameters are missing or estimated.

If port channel interfaces are present, it is important to specify the source MAC address and IP address correctly.

If ACLs are present, all keywords in the command could be important to the forwarding decision.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

Examples

Following are three examples of outputs from the show forward command. Table 2-19 describes the major sections in the output display.

In this example, the destination MAC address is the router's MAC address and routing lookups are performed:

Cpu q:100 - routing queue

Table 2-19 show forward Output Description  

Output Section
Description

General (no heading)
Includes the first few lines of the display.

Displays lookup results for several tables in the input portion of the hardware. The output includes packet formats, the configuration of the input VLAN, and other information.

lookup section

Describes TCAM lookups performed during the input forwarding decision and the results of these lookups.

Bitmaps and masks

Displays maps and masks used to calculate the final set of forwarding destinations.

frame notifies section

Contains the bitmap that results from combining the maps and masks from the bitmaps section. If SPAN is configured, there might be additional bitmaps displayed.

Egress q <nn> section

There is an egress section for each separate destination port. The output is varied, but the important information is in the line containing the name of an output interface, output VLAN ID, and rewritten destination MAC address for the frame. If the output interface is a trunk port that needs to send multiple copies of the frame on different VLANs (for example, for IP multicast frames), several lines might contain the same output interface name, but a different output VLANs.

If output security ACLs are present, it is possible that one or more of these egress q sections will not contain a line listing an output port. This happens when the output ACL denies the packet.

Cpu q <nn> <name> section

When the CPU is one of the destinations for a packet, this section appears, followed by a queue name. This name should correspond to one of the queue names in the output from the show controllers cpu-interface privileged EXEC command, where statistics appear for the number of packets received at each queue.



show interfaces

Use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command to display the administrative and operational status of all interfaces or a specified interface.

show interfaces [interface-id | vlan vlan-id] [accounting | capabilities [module {module-number}] | counters | description | etherchannel | flowcontrol | pruning | stats | status [err-disabled] | switchport [backup | module {module-number}] | trunk] | [transceiver properties | detail] [module {module-number} | trunk] | [ | {begin | exclude | include} expression]

Syntax Description

interface-id

(Optional) Valid interfaces include physical ports (including type, module, and port number) and port channels. The port-channel range is 1 to 48.

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) VLAN identification. The range is 1 to 4094.

accounting

(Optional) Display accounting information on the interface, including active protocols and input and output packets and octets.

Note The display shows only packets processed in software; hardware-switched packets do not appear.

capabilities

(Optional) Display the capabilities of all interfaces or the specified interface, including the features and options that you can configure on the interface. Though visible in the command line help, this option is not available for VLAN IDs.

module module-number

(Optional) Display capabilities, switchport configuration, or transceiver characteristics (depending on preceding keyword) of all interfaces on the The range is 1 to 9. This option is not available if you entered a specific interface ID.

counters

(Optional) See the show interfaces counters command.

description

(Optional) Display the administrative status and description set for an interface.

etherchannel

(Optional) Display interface EtherChannel information.

flowcontrol

(Optional) Display interface flowcontrol information

pruning

(Optional) Display interface trunk VTP pruning information.

stats

(Optional) Display the input and output packets by switching path for the interface.

status

(Optional) Display the status of the interface. A status of unsupported in the Type field means that a non-Cisco small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is inserted in the module slot.

err-disabled

(Optional) Display interfaces in error-disabled state.

switchport

(Optional) Display the administrative and operational status of a switching (nonrouting) port, including port blocking and port protection settings.

backup

(Optional) Display Flex Link backup interface configuration and status for the specified interface.

transceiver [detail | properties]

(Optional) Display the physical properties of a CWDM1 or DWDM2 small form-factor (SFP) module interface. The keywords have these meanings:

detail(Optional) Display calibration properties, including high and low numbers and any alarm information.

properties—(Optional) Display speed, duplex, and inline power settings on an interface.

trunk

Display interface trunk information. If you do not specify an interface, only information for active trunking ports appears.

| begin

(Optional) Display begins with the line that matches the expression.

| exclude

(Optional) Display excludes lines that match the expression.

| include

(Optional) Display includes lines that match the specified expression.

expression

Expression in the output to use as a reference point.

1 coarse wavelength-division multiplexer

2 dense wavelength-division multiplexer



Note Though visible in the command-line help strings, the crb, fair-queue, irb, mac-accounting, precedence, private-vlan mapping, random-detect, rate-limit, and shape keywords are not supported.


Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(12c)EA1

The capabilities keyword was added.

12.1(22)EA1

The transceiver and properties keywords were added.

12.2(22)SEE

The counters, backup, detail, and trunk keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

The show interfaces capabilities command with different keywords has these results:

Use the show interface capabilities module number command to display the capabilities of all interfaces on that switch. If there is no switch with that module number, there is no output.

Use the show interfaces interface-id capabilities to display the capabilities of the specified interface.

Use the show interfaces capabilities (with no module number or interface ID) to display the capabilities of all interfaces.

Use the show interface switchport module number command to display the switch port characteristics of all interfaces on that switch. If there is no switch with that module number, there is no output.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

Table 2-23 DHCP Snooping Statistics

DHCP Snooping Statistic
Description

Packets Processed by DHCP Snooping

Total number of packets handled by DHCP snooping, including forwarded and dropped packets.

Packets Dropped Because IDB not known

Number of errors when the input interface of the packet cannot be determined.

Queue full

Number of errors when an internal queue used to process the packets is full. This might happen if DHCP packets are received at an excessively high rate and rate limiting is not enabled on the ingress ports.

Interface is in errdisabled

Number of times a packet was received on a port that has been marked as error disabled. This might happen if packets are in the processing queue when a port is put into the error-disabled state and those packets are subsequently processed.

Rate limit exceeded

Number of times the rate limit configured on the port was exceeded and the interface was put into the error-disabled state.

Received on untrusted ports

Number of times a DHCP server packet (OFFER, ACK, NAK, or LEASEQUERY) was received on an untrusted port and was dropped.

Nonzero giaddr

Number of times the relay agent address field (giaddr) in the DHCP packet received on an untrusted port was not zero, or the no ip dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted global configuration command is not configured and a packet received on an untrusted port contained option-82 data.

Source mac not equal to chaddr

Number of times the client MAC address field of the DHCP packet (chaddr) does not match the packet source MAC address and the ip dhcp snooping verify mac-address global configuration command is configured.

Binding mismatch

Number of times a RELEASE or DECLINE packet was received on a port that is different than the port in the binding for that MAC address-VLAN pair. This indicates someone might be trying to spoof the real client, or it could mean that the client has moved to another port on the switch and issued a RELEASE or DECLINE. The MAC address is taken from the chaddr field of the DHCP packet, not the source MAC address in the Ethernet header.

Insertion of opt82 fail

Number of times the option-82 insertion into a packet failed. The insertion might fail if the packet with the option-82 data exceeds the size of a single physical packet on the internet.

Interface Down

Number of times the packet is a reply to the DHCP relay agent, but the SVI interface for the relay agent is down. This is an unlikely error that occurs if the SVI goes down between sending the client request to the DHCP server and receiving the response.

Unknown output interface

Number of times the output interface for a DHCP reply packet cannot be determined by either option-82 data or a lookup in the MAC address table. The packet is dropped. This can happen if option 82 is not used and the client MAC address has aged out. If IPSG is enabled with the port-security option and option 82 is not enabled, the MAC address of the client is not learned, and the reply packets will be dropped.

Reply output port equal to input port

Number of times the output port for a DHCP reply packet is the same as the input port, causing a possible loop. Indicates a possible network misconfiguration or misuse of trust settings on ports.

Packet denied by platform

Number of times the packet has been denied by a platform-specific registry.

Use the show ip igmp snooping querier command to display the IGMP version and the IP address of a detected device, also called a querier, that sends IGMP query messages. A subnet can have multiple multicast routers but has only one IGMP querier. In a subnet running IGMPv2, one of the multicast routers is elected as the querier. The querier can be a Layer 3 switch.

The show ip igmp snooping querier command output also shows the VLAN and the interface on which the querier was detected. If the querier is the switch, the output shows the Port field as Router. If the querier is a router, the output shows the port number on which the querier is learned in the Port field.

The show ip igmp snooping querier detail user EXEC command is similar to the show ip igmp snooping querier command. However, the show ip igmp snooping querier command displays only the device IP address most recently detected by the switch querier.

The show ip igmp snooping querier detail command displays the device IP address most recently detected by the switch querier along with this additional information:

The elected IGMP querier in the VLAN

The configuration and operational information pertaining to the switch querier (if any) that is configured in the VLAN

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

Examples

This is an example of output from the show ip igmp snooping querier command:

Switch> show ip igmp snooping querier

In the previous example, this is the IP source guard configuration:

On the Fast Ethernet 0/1 interface, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping is enabled on VLANs 10 to 20. For VLAN 10, IP source guard with IP address filtering is configured on the interface, and a binding exists on the interface. For VLANs 11 to 20, the second entry shows that a default port access control list (ACL) is applied on the interface for the VLANs on which IP source guard is not configured.

The Fast Ethernet 0/2 interface is configured as trusted for DHCP snooping.

On the Fast Ethernet 0/3 interface, DHCP snooping is not enabled on the VLANs to which the interface belongs.

On the Fast Ethernet 0/4 interface, IP source guard with source IP and MAC address filtering is enabled, and static IP source bindings are configured on VLANs 10 and 11. For VLANs 12 to 20, the default port ACL is applied on the interface for the VLANs on which IP source guard is not configured.

On the Fast Ethernet 0/5 interface, IP source guard with source IP and MAC address filtering is enabled and configured with a static IP binding, but port security is disabled. The switch cannot filter source MAC addresses.

This is an example of output on an interface on which IP source guard is disabled:

Switch> show ip verify source fastethernet0/6
IP source guard is not configured on the interface fa0/6.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If no keyword is specified with the show mls qos interface command, the display shows the port trusted mode (DSCP trusted, CoS trusted, untrusted, and so forth), the default CoS value, the DSCP-to-DSCP-mutation map (if any) attached to the port, and the policy map (if any) attached to the interface. If a specific interface is not specified, the information for all interfaces appears.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

Examples

This is an example of output from the show mls qos interface command:

Switch# show mls qos interface fastethernet0/1

trust state: not trusted
trust mode: trust cos
COS override: dis
default COS: 0

 2  dis   100      100
 3  dis   100      100
 4  dis   100      100

In the preceding display, the qid-size section shows the weight (the amount of space allocated to each queue) as configured by the wrr-queue queue-limit interface configuration command. The next section of the display shows the settings of the tail-drop thresholds for all four queues. The WRED column shows that it is disabled, which means that tail drop is in effect. Tail-drop thresholds are configured by using the wrr-queue threshold interface configuration command.

This is an example of output from the show mls qos interface fastethernet0/1 buffers command:

Switch> show mls qos interface fastethernet0/1 buffers
FastEthernet0/1
Minimum reserve buffer size:
 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
Minimum reserve buffer level select:

This sample shows that the buffer size for all minimum-reserve levels is set to 100 packets. The last line of the display shows that queue 1 selects minimum-reserve level 4, queue 2 selects minimum-reserve level 2, queue 3 selects minimum-reserve level 5, and queue 4 selects minimum-reserve level 7.

In the preceding display, the egress expedite queue is enabled. Because of this, the weight of the expedite queue (queue 4) is ignored and not used in the ratio calculation. Only the bandwidth weights for the remaining queues appear. The bandwidth weight of the queues is configured by the wrr-queue bandwidth interface configuration command. The CoS-to-queue map shows the CoS values that are mapped to select a queue; this map is configured by the wrr-queue cos-map interface configuration command.

Usage Guidelines

If you did not reload the switch after entering the sdm prefer global configuration command, the show sdm prefer privileged EXEC command displays the template currently in use and not the newly configured template.

The numbers displayed for each template represent an approximate maximum number for each feature resource. The actual number might vary, depending on the actual number of other features configured. For example, in the default template if your switch had more than 16 routed interfaces (subnet VLANs), the number of possible unicast MAC addresses might be less than 6000.

Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enterexclude output, the lines that contain output do not appear, but the lines that contain Output appear.

Examples

This is an example of output from the show sdm prefer command on a Gigabit Ethernet switch, displaying the template currently in use:

Switch# show sdm prefer
The current template is default template.
 The selected template optimizes the resources in
 the switch to support this level of features for
 16 routed interfaces and 1K VLANs. 

 number of unicast mac addresses:  6K
 number of igmp groups:            6K
 number of qos aces:               2K
 number of security aces:          2K
 number of unicast routes:         12K
 number of multicast routes:       6K

This is an example of output from the show sdm prefer command on a Gigabit Ethernet switch when the default template has the extended-match keyword applied for 144-bit Layer 3 TCAM support:

Switch# show sdm prefer
The current template is the default extended-match template
 The selected template optimizes the resources in
 the switch to support this level of features for
 16 routed interfaces and 1K VLANs.

 number of unicast mac addresses:   6K
 number of igmp groups:             6K

Table 2-27 show udld Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

Interface

The interface on the local device configured for UDLD.

Port enable administrative configuration setting

How UDLD is configured on the port. If UDLD is enabled or disabled, the port enable configuration setting is the same as the operational enable state. Otherwise, the enable operational setting depends on the global enable setting.

Port enable operational state

Operational state that shows whether UDLD is actually running on this port.

Current bidirectional state

The bidirectional state of the link. An unknown state appears if the link is down or if it is connected to an UDLD-incapable device. A bidirectional state appears if the link is a normal two-way connection to a UDLD-capable device. All other values mean miswiring.

Current operational state

The current phase of the UDLD state machine. For a normal bidirectional link, the state machine is most often in the Advertisement phase.

Message interval

How often advertisement messages are sent from the local device. Measured in seconds.

Time out interval

The time period, in seconds, that UDLD waits for echoes from a neighbor device during the detection window.

Entry 1

Information from the first cache entry, which contains a copy of echo information received from the neighbor.

Expiration time

The amount of time in seconds remaining before this cache entry is aged out.

Device ID

The neighbor device identification.

Current neighbor state

The neighbor's current state. If both the local and neighbor devices are running UDLD normally, the neighbor state and local state should be bidirectional. If the link is down or the neighbor is not UDLD-capable, no cache entries appear.

Device name

The device name or the system serial number of the neighbor. The system serial number appears if the device name is not set or is set to the default (Switch).

Port ID

The neighbor port ID enabled for UDLD.

Neighbor echo 1 device

The device name of the neighbors' neighbor from which the echo originated.

Neighbor echo 1 port

The port number ID of the neighbor from which the echo originated.

Message interval

The rate, in seconds, at which the neighbor is sending advertisement messages.

CDP device name

The CDP device name or the system serial number. The system serial number appears if the device name is not set or is set to the default (Switch).


This is an example of output from the show udld interface configuration command when the aggressive mode is configured:

Switch# show udld gigabitethernet0/1
Interface Gi0/1
---
Port enable administrative configuration setting:Enabled / in aggressive mode
Port enable operational state:Enabled / in aggressive mode
Current bidirectional state:Unknown
Current operational state:Link down
Message interval:7
Time out interval:5

No neighbor cache information stored

Table 2-29 show vmps statistics Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

VQP Queries

Number of queries sent by the client to the VMPS.

VQP Responses

Number of responses sent to the client from the VMPS.

VMPS Changes

Number of times that the VMPS changed from one server to another.

VQP Shutdowns

Number of times the VMPS sent a response to shut down the port. The client disables the port and removes all dynamic addresses on this port from the address table. You must administratively re-enable the port to restore connectivity.

VQP Denied

Number of times the VMPS denied the client request for security reasons. When the VMPS response denies an address, no frame is forwarded to or from the workstation with that address (broadcast or multicast frames are delivered to the workstation if the port has been assigned to a VLAN). The client keeps the denied address in the address table as a blocked address to prevent more queries from being sent to the VMPS for each new packet received from this workstation. The client ages the address if no new packets are received from this workstation on this port within the aging time period.

VQP Wrong Domain

Number of times the management domain in the request does not match the one for the VMPS. Any previous VLAN assignments of the port are not changed. This response means that the server and the client have not been configured with the same VTP management domain.

VQP Wrong Version

Number of times the version field in the query packet contains a value that is higher than the version supported by the VMPS. The VLAN assignment of the port is not changed. The switches send only VMPS version 1 requests.

VQP Insufficient Resource

Number of times the VMPS is unable to answer the request because of a resource availability problem. If the retry limit has not yet been reached, the client repeats the request with the same server or with the next alternate server, depending on whether the per-server retry count has been reached.

Field
Description

Summary advertisements received

Number of summary advertisements received by this switch on its trunk ports. Summary advertisements contain the management domain name, the configuration revision number, the update timestamp and identity, the authentication checksum, and the number of subset advertisements to follow.

Subset advertisements received

Number of subset advertisements received by this switch on its trunk ports. Subset advertisements contain all the information for one or more VLANs.

Request advertisements received

Number of advertisement requests received by this switch on its trunk ports. Advertisement requests normally request information on all VLANs. They can also request information on a subset of VLANs.

Summary advertisements transmitted

Number of summary advertisements sent by this switch on its trunk ports. Summary advertisements contain the management domain name, the configuration revision number, the update timestamp and identity, the authentication checksum, and the number of subset advertisements to follow.

Subset advertisements transmitted

Number of subset advertisements sent by this switch on its trunk ports. Subset advertisements contain all the information for one or more VLANs.

Request advertisements transmitted

Number of advertisement requests sent by this switch on its trunk ports. Advertisement requests normally request information on all VLANs. They can also request information on a subset of VLANs.

Number of configuration revision errors

Number of revision errors.

Whenever you define a new VLAN, delete an existing one, suspend or resume an existing VLAN, or modify the parameters on an existing VLAN, the configuration revision number of the switch increments.

Revision errors increment whenever the switch receives an advertisement whose revision number matches the revision number of the switch, but the MD5 digest values do not match. This error means that the VTP password in the two switches is different or that the switches have different configurations.

These errors means that the switch is filtering incoming advertisements, which causes the VTP database to become unsynchronized across the network.

Number of configuration digest errors

Number of MD5 digest errors.

Digest errors increment whenever the MD5 digest in the summary packet and the MD5 digest of the received advertisement calculated by the switch do not match. This error usually means that the VTP password in the two switches is different. To solve this problem, make sure the VTP password on all switches is the same.

These errors mean that the switch is filtering incoming advertisements, which causes the VTP database to become unsynchronized across the network.

Number of V1 summary errors

Number of version 1 errors.

Version 1 summary errors increment whenever a switch in VTP V2 mode receives a VTP version 1 frame. These errors mean that at least one neighboring switch is either running VTP version 1 or VTP version 2 with V2-mode disabled. To solve this problem, change the configuration of the switches in VTP V2-mode to disabled.

Join Transmitted

Number of VTP pruning messages sent on the trunk.

Join Received

Number of VTP pruning messages received on the trunk.

Summary Advts Received from non-pruning-capable device

Number of VTP summary messages received on the trunk from devices that do not support pruning.

Table 2-31 show vtp status Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

VTP Version

Displays the VTP version operating on the switch. By default, the switch implements version 1 but can be set to version 2.

Configuration Revision

Current configuration revision number on this switch.

Maximum VLANs Supported Locally

Maximum number of VLANs supported locally.

Number of Existing VLANs

Number of existing VLANs.

VTP Operating Mode

Displays the VTP operating mode, which can be server, client, or transparent.

Server: a switch in VTP server mode is enabled for VTP and sends advertisements. You can configure VLANs on it. The switch guarantees that it can recover all the VLAN information in the current VTP database from NVRAM after reboot. By default, every switch is a VTP server.

Note The switch automatically changes from VTP server mode to VTP client mode if it detects a failure while writing the configuration to NVRAM; it cannot return to server mode until the NVRAM is functioning.

Client: a switch in VTP client mode is enabled for VTP, can send advertisements, but does not have enough NVRAM storage to store VLAN configurations. You cannot configure VLANs on it. When a VTP client starts up, it does not send VTP advertisements until it receives advertisements to initialize its VLAN database.

Transparent: a switch in VTP transparent mode is disabled for VTP, does not send or learn from advertisements sent by other devices, and cannot affect VLAN configurations on other devices in the network. The switch receives VTP advertisements and forwards them on all trunk ports except the one on which the advertisement was received

VTP Domain Name

Name that identifies the administrative domain for the switch.

VTP Pruning Mode

Displays whether pruning is enabled or disabled. Enabling pruning on a VTP server enables pruning for the entire management domain. Pruning restricts flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must use to access the appropriate network devices.

VTP V2 Mode

Displays if VTP version 2 mode is enabled. All VTP version 2 switches operate in version 1 mode by default. Each VTP switch automatically detects the capabilities of all the other VTP devices. A network of VTP devices should be configured to version 2 only if all VTP switches in the network can operate in version 2 mode.

VTP Traps Generation

Displays whether VTP traps are sent to a network management station.

MD5 Digest

A 16-byte checksum of the VTP configuration.

Configuration Last Modified

Displays the date and time of the last configuration modification. Displays the IP address of the switch that caused the configuration change to the database.

Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The shutdown command for a port causes it to stop forwarding. You can enable the port with the no shutdown command.

The no shutdown command has no effect if the port is a static-access port assigned to a VLAN that has been deleted, suspended, or shut down. The port must first be a member of an active VLAN before it can be re-enabled.

The shutdown command disables all functions on the specified interface.

This command also marks the interface as unavailable. To see if an interface is disabled, use the show interfaces privileged EXEC command. An interface that has been shut down is shown as administratively down in the display.

Examples

These examples show how to disable and re-enable an interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# shutdown

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown

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

Usage Guidelines

SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send acknowledgments when it receives traps. The sender cannot determine if the traps were received. However, an SNMP entity that receives an inform request acknowledges the message with an SNMP response PDU. If the sender never receives the response, the inform request can be sent again. Thus, informs are more likely to reach their intended destinations.

However, informs consume more resources in the agent and in the network. Unlike a trap, which is discarded as soon as it is sent, an inform request must be held in memory until a response is received or the request times out. Traps are also sent only once, but an inform might be retried several times. The retries increase traffic and contribute to a higher overhead on the network.

If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications are sent. To configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server host command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host. To enable multiple hosts, you must enter a separate snmp-server host command for each host. You can specify multiple notification types in the command for each host.

If a local user is not associated with a remote host, the switch does not send informs for the auth (authNoPriv) and the priv (authPriv) authentication levels.

When multiple snmp-server host commands are given for the same host and kind of notification (trap or inform), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command. Only the last snmp-server host command is in effect. For example, if you enter an snmp-server host inform command for a host and then enter another snmp-server host inform command for the same host, the second command replaces the first.

The snmp-server host command is used with the snmp-server enable traps global configuration command. Use the snmp-server enable traps command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally. For a host to receive most notifications, at least one snmp-server enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled. Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable traps command. For example, some notification types are always enabled. Other notification types are enabled by a different command.

The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a unique SNMP community string named comaccess for traps and prevent SNMP polling access with this string through access list 10:

Switch(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 10
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 172.20.2.160 comaccess
Switch(config)# access-list 10 deny any

This example shows how to send the SNMP traps to the host specified by the name myhost.cisco.com. The community string is defined as comaccess:

Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp 

This example shows how to enable the switch to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com by using the community string public:

Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public

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

Modification

12.1(14)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can improve the delivery of SNMP trap notifications by assigning a higher IP precedence or DSCP marker to them. The default marker, 0, forwards SNMP packets as normal traffic. Markers with higher values invoke preferential forwarding that moves the packets through the network more efficiently, even during periods of congestion. The amount of preference increases with the marker value. The highest marker values, 7 for IP precedence and 63 for DSCP, are generally reserved for network control traffic. The marker value that you set with this command applies to all outgoing SNMP notifications.

DSCP has partial backward-compatibility with IP precedence. To use DSCP-like IP precedence, use the following DSCP values: 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 56.

Use the snmp-server enable traps command to allow traps or informs to be sent, when supported. Specify the host (NMS) that receives the traps by using the snmp-server host global configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to set the IP precedence to 5:

Switch(config)# snmp-server ip precedence 5

This example shows how to set the DSCP marking to 40:

Switch(config)# snmp-server ip dscp 40

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure BackboneFast feature for rapid PVST+ or for multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode, but the feature remains disabled (inactive) until you change the spanning-tree mode to PVST+.

BackboneFast is started when a root port or blocked port on a switch receives inferior bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) from its designated bridge. An inferior BPDU identifies one switch as both the root bridge and the designated bridge. When a switch receives an inferior BPDU, it means that a link to which the switch is not directly connected (an indirect link) has failed (that is, the designated bridge has lost its connection to the root switch). If there are alternate paths to the root switch, BackboneFast causes the maximum aging time on the ports on which it received the inferior BPDU to expire and allows a blocked port to move immediately to the listening state. BackboneFast then transitions the interface to the forwarding state. For more information, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Enable BackboneFast on all supported switches to allow the detection of indirect link failures and to start the spanning-tree reconfiguration sooner.

Examples

This example shows how to enable BackboneFast on the switch:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree backbonefast

You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree summary privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

You can enable the BPDU filtering feature when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.


Caution Enabling BPDU filtering on an interface is the same as disabling spanning tree on it and can result in spanning-tree loops.

You can globally enable BPDU filtering on all Port Fast-enabled ports by using the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command.

You can use the spanning-tree bpdufilter interface configuration command to override the setting of the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command.

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The extended system ID is enabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(8)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(8)EA1 and later, Catalyst 3550 switches support the IEEE 802.1t spanning-tree extensions, and some of the bits previously used for the switch priority are now used for the extended system ID (VLAN identifier for the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus [PVST+] and rapid PVST+ or an instance identifier for the multiple spanning tree [MST]). In earlier releases, the switch priority is a 16-bit value.

The spanning tree uses the extended system ID, the switch priority, and the allocated spanning-tree MAC address to make the bridge ID unique for each VLAN or multiple spanning-tree instance. With earlier releases, spanning tree used one MAC address per VLAN to make the bridge ID unique for each VLAN.

Support for the extended system ID affects how you manually configure the root switch, the secondary root switch, and the switch priority of a VLAN. For more information, see the "spanning-tree mst root" and the "spanning-tree vlan" sections.

If your network consists of switches that do not support the extended system ID and switches that do support it, it is unlikely that the switch with the extended system ID support will become the root switch. The extended system ID increases the switch priority value every time the VLAN number is greater than the priority of the connected switches running older software.

spanning-tree guard

Use the spanning-tree guard interface configuration command to enable root guard or loop guard on all the VLANs associated with the selected interface. Root guard restricts which interface is allowed to be the spanning-tree root port or the path-to-the root for the switch. Loop guard prevents alternate or root ports from becoming designated ports when a failure creates a unidirectional link. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

spanning-tree guard {loop | none | root}

no spanning-tree guard

Syntax Description

loop

Defaults

Root guard is disabled.

Loop guard is configured according to the spanning-tree loopguard default global configuration command (globally disabled).

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

12.1(9)EA1

The loop keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

You can enable root guard or loop guard when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.

When root guard is enabled, if spanning-tree calculations cause a port to be selected as the root port, the port transitions to the root-inconsistent (blocked) state to prevent the customer's switch from becoming the root switch or being in the path to the root. The root port provides the best path from the switch to the root switch.

When the no spanning-tree guard or the no spanning-tree guard none command is entered, root guard is disabled for all VLANs on the selected interface. If this interface is in the root-inconsistent (blocked) state, it automatically transitions to the listening state.

Do not enable root guard on interfaces that will be used by the UplinkFast feature. With UplinkFast, the backup interfaces (in the blocked state) replace the root port in the case of a failure. However, if root guard is also enabled, all the backup interfaces used by the UplinkFast feature are placed in the root-inconsistent state (blocked) and prevented from reaching the forwarding state. The UplinkFast feature is not available when the switch is operating in rapid-PVST+ or MST mode.

Loop guard is most effective when it is configured on the entire switched network. When the switch is operating in PVST+ or rapid-PVST+ mode, loop guard prevents alternate and root ports from becoming designated ports, and spanning tree does not send bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) on root or alternate ports. When the switch is operating in MST mode, BPDUs are not sent on nonboundary ports only if the port is blocked by loop guard in all MST instances. On a boundary port, loop guard blocks the port in all MST instances.

To disable root guard or loop guard, use the spanning-tree guard none interface configuration command.

You can override the setting of the spanning-tree loopguard default global configuration command by using the spanning-tree guard loop interface configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable root guard on all the VLANs associated with the specified interface:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree guard root

This example shows how to enable loop guard on all the VLANs associated with the specified interface:

Usage Guidelines

You can enable the loop guard feature when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.

Loop guard is most effective when it is configured on the entire switched network. When the switch is operating in PVST+ or rapid-PVST+ mode, loop guard prevents alternate and root ports from becoming designated ports, and spanning tree does not send bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) on root or alternate ports. When the switch is operating in MST mode, BPDUs are not sent on nonboundary ports only if the port is blocked by loop guard in all MST instances. On a boundary port, loop guard blocks the port in all MST instances.

Loop guard operates only on ports that are considered point-to-point by the spanning tree.

You can override the setting of the spanning-tree loopguard default global configuration command by using the spanning-tree guard loop interface configuration command.

Entering the spanning-tree mst configuration command enables the MST configuration mode. These configuration commands are available:

abort: exits the MST region configuration mode without applying configuration changes.

exit: exits the MST region configuration mode and applies all configuration changes.

instance instance-id vlan vlan-range: maps VLANs to an MST instance. The range for the instance-id is 1 to 4094; the range for vlan-range is 1 to 4094. You can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma.

name name: sets the configuration name. The name string has a maximum length of 32 characters and is case sensitive.

no: negates the instance, name, and revision commands or sets them to their defaults.

private-vlan: Though visible in the command-line help strings, this command is not supported.

revision version: sets the configuration revision number. The range is 0 to 65535.

show [current | pending]: displays the current or pending MST region configuration.

In MST mode, the switch supports up to 65 MST instances. The number of VLANs that can be mapped to a particular MST instance is unlimited.

When you map VLANs to an MST instance, the mapping is incremental, and the VLANs specified in the command are added to or removed from the VLANs that were previously mapped. To specify a range, use a hyphen; for example, instance 1 vlan 1-63 maps VLANs 1 to 63 to MST instance 1. To specify a series, use a comma; for example, instance 1 vlan 10, 20, 30 maps VLANs 10, 20, and 30 to MST instance 1.

All VLANs that are not explicitly mapped to an MST instance are mapped to the common and internal spanning tree (CIST) instance (instance 0) and cannot be unmapped from the CIST by using the no form of the command.

For two or more switches to be in the same MST region, they must have the same VLAN mapping, the same configuration revision number, and the same name.

Examples

This example shows how to enter MST configuration mode, map VLAN 10 to 20 to MST instance 1, name the region region1, set the configuration revision to 1, display the pending configuration, apply the changes, and return to global configuration mode:

12.2(25)SEC

The hop-count range changed to 1 to 255.


Usage Guidelines

The root switch of the instance always sends a BPDU (or M-record) with a cost of 0 and the hop count set to the maximum value. When a switch receives this BPDU, it decrements the received remaining hop count by one and propagates the decremented count as the remaining hop count in the generated M-records. A switch discards the BPDU and ages the information held for the port when the count reaches 0.

Changing the spanning-tree mst max-hops command affects all spanning-tree instances.

Examples

This example shows how to set the spanning-tree max-hops to 10 for all MST instances:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst max-hops 10

Usage Guidelines

You can assign higher priority values (lower numerical values) to interfaces that you want selected first and lower priority values (higher numerical values) that you want selected last. If all interfaces have the same priority value, the MST puts the interface with the lowest interface number in the forwarding state and blocks other interfaces.

Examples

This example shows how to increase the likelihood that the interface associated with spanning-tree instance 20 is placed into the forwarding state if a loop occurs:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst 20 port-priority 0

Modification

12.2(25)SEC

Usage Guidelines

Even with this configuration, the port can accept both prestandard and standard BPDUs. In the case of a mismatch with the neighbor type, only the common and internal spanning tree (CIST) runs on this interface.


Note If a switch port is connected to a switch running prestandard Cisco IOS software, you must use the spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command on the port. If you do not configure the port to send only prestandard BPDUs, the Multiple Spanning-Tree Protocol (MSTP) performance might diminish.


When the port is configured to automatically detect prestandard neighb ors, the prestandard flag always appears in the show spanning-tree mst commands.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a port to send only prestandard BPDUs:

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst pre-standard

The instance-id range changed to 1 to 4094.


Usage Guidelines

Use the spanning-tree mst instance-id root command used only on backbone switches.

When you enter the spanning-tree mst instance-id root command, the software tries to set a high enough priority to make this switch the root of the spanning-tree instance. Because of the extended system ID support, the switch sets the switch priority for the instance to 24576 if this value will cause this switch to become the root for the specified instance. If any root switch for the specified instance has a switch priority lower than 24576, the switch sets its own priority to 4096 less than the lowest switch priority. (4096 is the value of the least-significant bit of a 4-bit switch priority value.)

When you enter the spanning-tree mst instance-id root secondary command, because of support for the extended system ID, the software changes the switch priority from the default value (32768) to 28672. If the root switch fails, this switch becomes the next root switch (if the other switches in the network use the default switch priority of 32768 and are therefore unlikely to become the root switch).

Examples

This example shows how to configure the switch as the root switch for instance 10 with a network diameter of 4:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst 10 root primary diameter 4

This example shows how to configure the switch as the secondary root switch for instance 10 with a network diameter of 4:

spanning-tree portfast (global configuration)

Use the spanning-tree portfast global configuration command to globally enable bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) filtering on Port Fast-enabled ports, the BPDU guard feature on Port Fast-enabled ports, or the Port Fast feature on all nontrunking ports. The BPDU filtering feature prevents the switch port from sending or receiving BPDUs. The BPDU guard feature puts Port Fast-enabled ports that receive BPDUs in an error-disabled state. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

spanning-tree portfast {bpdufilter default | bpduguard default | default}

no spanning-tree portfast {bpdufilter default | bpduguard default | default}

Syntax Description

bpdufilter default

Globally enable BPDU filtering on Port Fast-enabled ports and prevent the switch port connected to end stations from sending or receiving BPDUs.

bpduguard default

Globally enable the BPDU guard feature on Port Fast-enabled ports and place the ports that receive BPDUs in an error-disabled state.

default

Globally enable the Port Fast feature on all nontrunking ports. When the Port Fast feature is enabled, the port changes directly from a blocking state to a forwarding state without making the intermediate spanning-tree state changes.


Defaults

The BPDU filtering, the BPDU guard, and the Port Fast features are disabled on all ports unless they are individually configured.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

The bpdufilter default and default keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

You can enable these features when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.

Use the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command to globally enable BPDU filtering on ports that are Port Fast-enabled (the ports are in a Port Fast-operational state). The ports still send a few BPDUs at link-up before the switch begins to filter outbound BPDUs. You should globally enable BPDU filtering on a switch so that hosts connected to switch ports do not receive BPDUs. If a BPDU is received on a Port Fast-enabled port, the port loses its Port Fast-operational status and BPDU filtering is disabled.

You can override the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default global configuration command by using the spanning-tree bdpufilter interface configuration command.


Caution Enabling BPDU filtering on an interface is the same as disabling spanning tree on it and can result in spanning-tree loops.

Use the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default global configuration command to globally enable BPDU guard on ports that are in a Port Fast-operational state. In a valid configuration, Port Fast-enabled ports do not receive BPDUs. Receiving a BPDU on a Port Fast-enabled port signals an invalid configuration, such as the connection of an unauthorized device, and the BPDU guard feature puts the port in the error-disabled state. The BPDU guard feature provides a secure response to invalid configurations because you must manually put the port back in service. Use the BPDU guard feature in a service-provider network to prevent an access port from participating in the spanning tree.

You can override the spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default global configuration command by using the spanning-tree bdpuguard interface configuration command.

Use the spanning-tree portfast default global configuration command to globally enable the Port Fast feature on all nontrunking ports. Configure Port Fast only on ports that connect to end stations; otherwise, an accidental topology loop could cause a data packet loop and disrupt switch and network operation. A Port Fast-enabled port moves directly to the spanning-tree forwarding state when linkup occurs without waiting for the standard forward-delay time.

You can override the spanning-tree portfast default global configuration command by using the spanning-tree portfast interface configuration command. You can use the no spanning-tree portfast default global configuration command to disable Port Fast on all ports unless they are individually configured with the spanning-tree portfast interface configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to globally enable the BPDU filtering feature:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

This example shows how to globally enable the BPDU guard feature:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

To enable Port Fast on trunk ports, you must use the spanning-tree portfast trunk interface configuration command. The spanning-tree portfast command is not supported on trunk ports.

You can enable this feature when the switch is operating in the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+), rapid-PVST+, or the multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode.

This feature affects all VLANs on the interface.

A port with the Port Fast feature enabled is moved directly to the spanning-tree forwarding state without waiting the standard forward-time delay.

You can use the spanning-tree portfast default global configuration command to globally enable the Port Fast feature on all nontrunking interfaces. However, the spanning-tree portfast interface configuration command can override the global setting.

If you configure the spanning-tree portfast default global configuration command, you can disable Port Fast on an interface that is not a trunk interface by using the spanning-tree portfast disable interface configuration command.

Increasing the transmit hold-count value can have a significant impact on CPU utilization when the switch is in rapid-per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) mode. Decreasing this value might slow down convergence. We recommend using the default setting.

Examples

This example shows how to set the transmit hold count to 8:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree transmit hold-count8

You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree mst privileged EXEC command.

spanning-tree uplinkfast

Use the spanning-tree uplinkfast global configuration command to accelerate the choice of a new root port when a link or switch fails or when the spanning tree reconfigures itself. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate pkts-per-second]

no spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate]

Syntax Description

max-update-rate pkts-per-second

(Optional) The number of packets per second at which update packets are sent. The range is 0 to 32000.


Defaults

UplinkFast is disabled.

The update rate is 150 packets per second.

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(13)EA1

The range for the pkts-per-second was changed from 0 to 65535 to 0 to 32000.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command only on access switches.

You can configure UplinkFast feature for rapid PVST+ or for multiple spanning-tree (MST) mode, but the feature remains disabled (inactive) until you change the spanning-tree mode to PVST+.

When you enable UplinkFast, it is enabled for the entire switch and cannot be enabled for individual VLANs.

When UplinkFast is enabled, the switch priority of all VLANs is set to 49152. If you change the path cost to a value less than 3000 and you enable UplinkFast or UplinkFast is already enabled, the path cost of all interfaces and VLAN trunks is increased by 3000 (if you change the path cost to 3000 or above, the path cost is not altered). The changes to the switch priority and the path cost reduces the chance that the switch will become the root switch.

When UplinkFast is disabled, the switch priorities of all VLANs and path costs of all interfaces are set to default values if you did not modify them from their defaults.

When spanning tree detects that the root port has failed, UplinkFast immediately switches over to an alternate root port, changing the new root port directly to FORWARDING state. During this time, a topology change notification is sent.

Do not enable the root guard on interfaces that will be used by the UplinkFast feature. With UplinkFast, the backup interfaces (in the blocked state) replace the root port in the case of a failure. However, if root guard is also enabled, all the backup interfaces used by the UplinkFast feature are placed in the root-inconsistent state (blocked) and prevented from reaching the forwarding state.

If you set the max-update-rate to 0, station-learning frames are not generated, so the spanning-tree topology converges more slowly after a loss of connectivity.

Examples

This example shows how to enable UplinkFast:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree uplinkfast 

You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree summary privileged EXEC command.

spanning-tree vlan

Use the spanning-tree vlan global configuration command to configure spanning tree on a per-VLAN basis. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

spanning-tree vlan vlan-id {forward-time seconds | hello-time seconds | max-age seconds |
priority priority | {root {primary | secondary} [diameter net-diameter
[hello-time seconds]]}}

no spanning-tree vlan vlan-id [forward-time | hello-time | max-age | priority | root]

Syntax Description

vlan-id

VLAN range associated with a spanning-tree instance. You can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.

forward-time seconds

Set the forward-delay time for the specified spanning-tree instance. The forwarding time determines how long each of the listening and learning states last before the interface begins forwarding. The range is 4 to 30 seconds.

hello-time seconds

Set the interval between hello bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) sent by the root switch configuration messages. The range is 1 to 10 seconds.

max-age seconds

Set the interval between messages the spanning tree receives from the root switch. If a switch does not receive a BPDU message from the root switch within this interval, it recomputes the spanning-tree topology. The range is 6 to 40 seconds.

priority priority

Set the switch priority for the specified spanning-tree instance. This setting affects the likelihood that the switch is selected as the root switch. A lower value increases the probability that the switch is selected as the root switch.

The range is 0 to 61440 in increments of 4096. Valid priority values are 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440. All other values are rejected.

root primary

Force this switch to be the root switch.

root secondary

Set this switch to be the root switch should the primary root switch fail.

diameter net-diameter

Set the maximum number of switches between any two end stations. The range is 2 to 7.


Defaults

Spanning tree is enabled on all VLANs.

The forward-delay time is 15 seconds.

The hello time is 2 seconds.

The max-age is 20 seconds.

The primary root switch priority is 24576.

The secondary root switch priority is 28672.

The priority priority range changed from 1 to 65535 to 1 to 61440 (in increments of 4096).

12.1(13)EA1

The value for the vlan-id variable was changed.


Usage Guidelines

Disabling the STP causes the VLAN to stop participating in the spanning-tree topology. Interfaces that are administratively down remain down. Received BPDUs are forwarded like other multicast frames. The switch does not detect and prevent loops in a VLAN if STP is disabled for that VLAN.

You can disable the STP on a VLAN that is not currently active and verify the change by using the show running-config or the show spanning-tree vlan vlan-id privileged EXEC command. The setting takes effect when the VLAN is activated.

When disabling or re-enabling the STP, you can specify a range of VLANs that you want to disable or enable.

When the STP is disabled and then enabled, all assigned VLANs continue to be its members. However, all spanning-tree bridge parameters are returned to their previous settings (the last setting before the VLAN was disabled).

You can enable spanning-tree options on a VLAN that has no interfaces assigned to it. The setting takes effect when you assign interfaces to it.

When setting the max-age seconds, if a switch does not receive BPDUs from the root switch within the specified interval, it recomputes the spanning-tree topology. The max-age setting must be greater than the hello-time setting.

The spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root command should be used only on backbone switches.

When you enter the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root command, the software checks the switch priority of the current root switch for each VLAN. Because of the extended system ID support, the switch sets the switch priority for the specified VLAN to 24576 if this value will cause this switch to become the root for the specified VLAN. If any root switch for the specified VLAN has a switch priority lower than 24576, the switch sets its own priority for the specified VLAN to 4096 less than the lowest switch priority. (4096 is the value of the least-significant bit of a 4-bit switch priority value.)

When you enter the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root primary command, the switch recalculates the forward-time, hello-time, max-age, and priority settings. If you previously configured these parameters, the switch overrides and recalculates them.

When you enter the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root secondary command, because of support for the extended system ID, the software changes the switch priority from the default value (32768) to 28672. If the root switch should fail, this switch becomes the next root switch (if the other switches in the network use the default switch priority of 32768, and therefore, are unlikely to become the root switch).

Examples

This example shows how to disable the STP on VLAN 5:

Switch(config)# no spanning-tree vlan 5

You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command. In this instance, VLAN 5 does not appear in the list.

speed

Use the speed interface configuration command to specify the speed of a 10/100 Mbps or 10/100/1000 Mbps port. Use the no or default form of this command to return the port to its default value.

speed {10 | 100 | 1000 | auto [10 | 100 | 1000] | nonegotiate}

no speed


Note You cannot configure speed or duplex mode on Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports, but for certain types of GBICs, you can configure speed to not negotiate (nonegotiate) if they are connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation.


Syntax Description

10

Port runs at 10 Mbps.

100

Port runs at 100 Mbps.

1000

Port runs at 1000 Mbps. This option is valid and visible only on Gigabit Ethernet (Tx) ports.

auto

Port automatically detects the speed it should run at based on the port at the other end of the link. If you use the 10, 100, or 1000 keywords with the auto keyword, the port only autonegotiates at the specified speeds.

nonegotiate

Autonegotiation is disabled and the port runs at 1000 Mbps. This option is valid and visible only on 1000BASE-SX, -LX, and -ZX GBIC ports. Gigastack GBICs and 1000BASE-T GBICs do not support disabling of autonegotiation.

The 1000 and nonegotiate keywords were added.

12.1(22)EA1

Support for the 10, 100, and 1000 keywords with the auto keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure Fast Ethernet port speed to either 10 or 100 Mbps. You can configure Gigabit Ethernet port speed to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. You cannot configure speed on Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) interfaces, but for 1000BASE-SX, -LX, or -ZX GBICs, you can configure speed to not negotiate (nonegotiate) if connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation.

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.

If the speed is set to auto and the 10, 100, or 1000 keywords are also used, the port only autonegotiates at the specified speeds.

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

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


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


Note For guidelines on setting the switch speed and duplex parameters, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to set the specified interface to 100 Mbps:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# speed 100

This example shows how to set a port to autonegotiate at only 10 Mbps:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# speed auto 10

This example shows how to set a port to autonegotiate at only 10 or 100 Mbps:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# speed auto 10 100

storm-control

Use the storm-control interface configuration command to configure broadcast, multicast, or unicast storm control with a specific suppression-level threshold on an interface. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

storm-control {{broadcast | multicast | unicast} level {level [level-low] | pps pps [pps-low]}} | {action {shutdown | trap}}

no storm-control {{broadcast | multicast | unicast} level} | {action {shutdown | trap}}

Syntax Description

broadcast

Enable broadcast storm control on the interface.

multicast

Enable multicast storm control on the interface.

unicast

Enable unicast storm control on the interface.

level level [level-low]

Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a percentage of total bandwidth of the port.

level—Rising suppression level, up to two decimal places. The range is 0.00 to 100.00. Block the flooding of storm packets when the value specified for level is reached.

level-low—(Optional) Falling suppression level, up to two decimal places. The range is 0.00 to 100.00. This value must be less than or equal to the rising suppression value. If you do not configure a falling suppression level, it is set to the rising suppression level.

level pps pps [pps-low]

Specify the rising and falling suppression levels as a rate in packets per second at which traffic is received on the port.

pps—Rising suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range is 0.0 to 10000000000.0. Block the flooding of storm packets when the value specified for pps is reached.

pps-low—(Optional) Falling suppression level, up to 1 decimal place. The range is 0.0 to 10000000000.0. This value must be equal to or less than the rising suppression value.

You can use metric suffixes such as k, m, and g for large number thresholds.

action {shutdown | trap}

Action taken when a storm occurs on a port. The default action is to filter traffic and to not send an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap.

The keywords have these meanings:

shutdown—Disables the port during a storm.

trap—Sends an SNMP trap when a storm occurs.


Defaults

Broadcast, multicast, and unicast storm control are disabled.

The default action is to filter traffic and to not send an SNMP trap.

12.2(25)SE

The pps-low option was made an optional parameter, and the range was changed. The action {shutdown | trap} keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

Storm control is supported only on physical interfaces; it is not supported on EtherChannel port channels, even though it is available in the CLI.

The storm-control suppression level can be entered as a percentage of total bandwidth or as a rate in packets per second at which traffic is received.

When specified as a percentage of total bandwidth, a suppression value of 100 percent means that no limit is placed on the specified traffic type. A value of level 0 0 means that all broadcast, multicast, or unicast traffic on that port is blocked. Storm control is enabled only when the rising suppression level is less than 100 percent. If no other storm-control configuration is specified, the default action is to filter the traffic causing the storm and to send no SNMP traps.


Note If a multicast storm control suppression level is exceeded on a switch, all traffic (multicast, unicast, and broadcast) is blocked until the multicast traffic rate drops below the threshold. Only spanning-tree packets are passed. If the broadcast or the unicast storm control suppression level is exceeded, only that type of traffic is blocked until the rate drops below the threshold.


The trap and shutdown options are independent of each other.

If you configure the action to be taken as shutdown (the port is error-disabled during a storm) when a packet storm is detected, you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to bring the interface out of this state. If you do not specify the shutdown action, specify the action as trap (the switch generates a trap when a storm is detected).

When a storm occurs and the action is to filter traffic, if the falling suppression level is not specified, the switch blocks all traffic until the traffic rate drops below the rising suppression level. If the falling suppression level is specified, the switch blocks traffic until the traffic rate drops below this level.


Note Storm control is supported on physical interfaces. You can also configure storm control on an EtherChannel. When storm control is configured on an EtherChannel, the storm control settings propagate to the EtherChannel physical interfaces.


When a broadcast storm occurs and the action is to filter traffic, the switch blocks only broadcast traffic.

For more information, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to enable broadcast storm control with a 75.5-percent rising suppression level:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 75.5

This example shows how to enable unicast storm control on a port with a 87-percent rising suppression level and a 65-percent falling suppression level:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control unicast level 87 65

This example shows how to enable multicast storm control on a port with a 2000-packets-per-second rising suppression level and a 1000-packets-per-second falling suppression level:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control multicast level pps 2k 1k

This example shows how to enable the shutdown action on a port:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control action shutdown

You can verify your settings by entering the show storm-control privileged EXEC command.

switchcore

Use the switchcore global configuration command to reserve switch resources for high-priority traffic or to give buffer storage more priority than packet retrieval. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

switchcore {resource-allocation priority | wirespeed-store}

no switchcore {resource-allocation priority | wirespeed-store}

Syntax Description

resource-allocation priority

Reserve switch resources for high-priority traffic. Lower-priority traffic is likely to be rejected during times of congestion.

wirespeed-store

Reserve bandwidth for buffer storage to accommodate broadcast and multicast storms.


Defaults

When quality of service (QoS) is disabled, both the resource-allocation priority and the wirespeed-store options are disabled.

When QoS is enabled, resource-allocation priority is enabled, and wirespeed store is disabled.

Use the resource-allocation priority keywords when you want to reserve some switch buffers for high-priority traffic. Use the wirespeed-store keywords when you want to allocate more switch bandwidth to frame storage than to frame retrieval; this is only needed when you expect lots of broadcast and multicast traffic on the switch, and you want frame retrieval to be the dominant operation.

switchport access

Use the switchport access interface configuration command to configure a port as a static-access or dynamic-access port. If the mode is set to access, the port operates as a member of the configured VLAN. If set to dynamic, the port starts discovery of VLAN assignment based on the incoming packets it receives. Use the no form of this command to reset the access mode to the default VLAN for the switch.

switchport access vlan {vlan-id | dynamic}

no switchport access vlan

Syntax Description

vlan vlan-id

Configure the interface as a static access port with the VLAN ID of the access mode VLAN; the range is 1 to 4094.

vlan dynamic

Specify that the access mode VLAN is dependent on the VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) protocol. The port is assigned to a VLAN based on the source MAC address of a host (or hosts) connected to the port. The switch sends every new MAC address received to the VMPS server to obtain the VLAN name to which the dynamic-access port should be assigned. If the port already has a VLAN assigned and the source has already been approved by the VMPS, the switch forwards the packet to the VLAN.


Defaults

The default access VLAN and trunk interface native VLAN is a default VLAN corresponding to the platform or interface hardware.

A dynamic-access port is initially a member of no VLAN and receives its assignment based on the packet it receives.

Usage Guidelines

The no switchport access command resets the access mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device.

The port must be in access mode before the switchport access vlan command can take effect.

An access port can be assigned to only one VLAN.

The VMPS server (such as a Catalyst 6000 series switch) must be configured before a port is configured as dynamic.

These restrictions apply to dynamic-access ports:

The software implements the VLAN Query Protocol (VQP) client, which can query a VMPS such as a Catalyst 6000 series switch. The Catalyst 3550 switches are not VMPS servers. The VMPS server must be configured before a port is configured as dynamic.

Use dynamic-access ports only to connect end stations. Connecting them to switches or routers (that use bridging protocols) can cause a loss of connectivity.

Configure the network so that STP does not put the dynamic-access port into an STP blocking state. The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled on dynamic-access ports.

Dynamic-access ports can only be in one VLAN and do not use VLAN tagging.

Dynamic-access ports cannot be configured as

Members of an EtherChannel port group (dynamic-access ports cannot be grouped with any other port, including other dynamic ports).

Source or destination ports in a static address entry.

Monitor ports.

Tunnel ports.

Examples

This example shows how to cause a port interface that has already been configured as a switched interface to operate in VLAN 2 instead of the platform's default VLAN when in access mode:

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command and examining information in the Administrative Mode and Operational Mode rows.

12.2(25)SEE

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

With Flex Links configured, one link acts as the primary interface and forwards traffic, while the other interface is in standby mode, ready to begin forwarding traffic if the primary link shuts down. The interface being configured is referred to as the active link; the specified interface is identified as the backup link. The feature provides an alternative to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), allowing users to turn off STP and still retain basic link redundancy.

This command is available only for Layer 2 interfaces.

You can configure only one Flex Link backup link for any active link, and it must be a different interface from the active interface.

An interface can belong to only one Flex Link pair. An interface can be a backup link for only one active link. An active link cannot belong to another Flex Link pair.

A backup link does not have to be the same type (Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet, for instance) as the active link. However, you should configure both Flex Links with similar characteristics so that there are no loops or changes in behavior if the standby link takes over traffic forwarding.

Neither of the links can be a port that belongs to an EtherChannel. However, you can configure two port channels (EtherChannel logical interfaces) as Flex Links, and you can configure a port channel and a physical interface as Flex Links, with either the port channel or the physical interface as the primary link.

If STP is configured on the switch, Flex Links do not participate in STP in all valid VLANs. If STP is not running, be sure that there are no loops in the configured topology.

Examples

This example shows how to configure two interfaces as Flex Links:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(conf)# interface fastethernet1/0/1
Switch(conf-if)# switchport backup interface fastethernet1/0/2
Switch(conf-if)# end

This example shows how to configure the Fast Ethernet interface to always preempt the backup:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(conf)# interface fastethernet1/0/1
Switch(conf-if)# switchport backup interface fastethernet1/0/2 preemption forced
Switch(conf-if)# end

This example shows how to configure the Fast Ethernet interface preemption delay time:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(conf)# interface fastethernet1/0/1
Switch(conf-if)# switchport backup interface fastethernet1/0/2 preemption delay 150

Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

By default, all traffic with unknown MAC addresses is sent to all ports. You can block unknown multicast or unicast traffic on protected or non-protected ports. If unknown multicast or unicast traffic is not blocked on a protected port, there could be security issues.

Blocking unknown multicast or unicast traffic is not automatically enabled on protected ports; you must explicitly configure it.


Note For more information about blocking packets, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to block unknown multicast traffic on an interface:

Switch(config-if)# switchport block multicast

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command.

switchport host

Use the switchport host interface configuration command on the switch to optimize a Layer 2 port for a host connection. The no form of this command has no affect on the system.

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The default is for the port to not be optimized for a host connection.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(20)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

To optimize the port for a host connection, the switchport host command sets the switch port mode to access, enables spanning tree Port Fast, and disables channel grouping. Only an end station can accept this configuration.

Because spanning tree Port Fast is enabled, you should enter the switchport host command only on ports that are connected to a single host. Connecting other switches, hubs, concentrators, or bridges to a fast-start port can cause temporary spanning-tree loops.

Enable the switchport host command to decrease the time to start packet forwarding.

The no switchport host command has no affect. To return an interface to a configuration not optimized as a host connection, you can manually reconfigure switchport mode, spanning-tree Port Fast, and channel grouping. You can also use the default interface interface-id global config command to return the interface to its default state. However, this command also returns other interface configuration to the default.

Examples

This example shows how to optimize the port configuration for a host connection:

Switch(config-if)# switchport host 
switchport mode will be set to access 
spanning-tree portfast will be enabled 
channel group will be disabled 
Switch(config-if)# 

You can verify the effects of the command by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport or show running-config interface interface-id privileged EXEC command.

switchport mode

Use the switchport mode interface configuration command to configure the VLAN membership mode of a port. Use the no form of this command to reset the mode to the appropriate default for the device.

switchport mode {access | dot1q-tunnel | dynamic {auto | desirable} | trunk}

no switchport mode {access| dot1q-tunnel | dynamic {auto | desirable} | trunk}

Syntax Description

access

Set the port to access mode (either static-access or dynamic-access depending on the setting of the switchport access vlan interface configuration command). The port is set to access unconditionally and operates as a nontrunking, single VLAN interface that sends and receives nonencapsulated (non-tagged) frames. An access port can be assigned to only one VLAN.

dot1q-tunnel

Set the port as an IEEE 802.1Q tunnel port.

dynamic auto

Set the interface trunking mode dynamic parameter to auto to specify that the interface convert the link to a trunk link.

dynamic desirable

Set the interface trunking mode dynamic parameter to desirable to specify that the interface actively attempt to convert the link to a trunk link.

trunk

Set the port to trunk unconditionally. The port is a trunking VLAN Layer 2 interface. The port sends and receives encapsulated (tagged) frames that identify the VLAN of origination. A trunk is a point-to-point link between two switches or between a switch and a router.


Defaults

The default mode is dynamic desirable.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.

12.1(9)EA1

The dot1q-tunnel keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

A configuration that uses the access, trunk, or dot1q-tunnel keywords takes effect only when you configure the port in the appropriate mode by using the switchport mode command. The static-access and trunk configuration are saved, but only one configuration is active at a time.

When you enter access mode, the interface changes to permanent nontrunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a nontrunk link even if the neighboring interface does not agree to the change.

When you enter trunk mode, the interface changes to permanent trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link even if the interface connecting to it does not agree to the change.

When you enter dynamic auto mode, the interface converts the link to a trunk link if the neighboring interface is set to trunk or desirable mode.

When you enter dynamic desirable mode, the interface becomes a trunk interface if the neighboring interface is set to trunk, desirable, or auto mode.

To autonegotiate trunking, the interfaces must be in the same VTP domain. Trunk negotiation is managed by the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), which is a point-to-point protocol. However, some internetworking devices might forward DTP frames improperly, which could cause misconfigurations. To avoid this, you should configure interfaces connected to devices that do not support DTP to not forward DTP frames, which turns off DTP.

If you do not intend to trunk across those links, use the switchport mode access interface configuration command to disable trunking.

To enable trunking to a device that does not support DTP, use the switchport mode trunk and switchport nonegotiate interface configuration commands to cause the interface to become a trunk but to not generate DTP frames.

With GigaStack GBICs, dynamic trunking is only supported when two switches are connected by a single GigaStack GBIC link. If trunking is required when more than two switches in a stack are connected by GigaStack GBIC links, you must manually configure trunking in this manner:

Manually shut down the GigaStack port by using the shutdown interface configuration command.

Manually configure trunk mode on the GigaStack port by using the switchport mode trunk interface configuration command on both GBIC interfaces to cause the interfaces to become trunks.

Use the no shutdown interface configuration command to bring up the GigaStack port.

When you enter dot1q-tunnel, the port is set unconditionally as an IEEE 802.1Q tunnel port.

Access port, trunk ports, and tunnel ports are mutually exclusive.

Any IEEE 802.1Q encapsulated IP packets received on a tunnel port can be filtered by MAC ACLs, but not by IP ACLs. This is because the switch does not recognize the protocol inside the IEEE 802.1Q header. This restriction applies to router ACLs, port ACLs and VLAN maps.

The IEEE 802.1x authentication feature interacts with switchport modes in these ways:

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

If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a dynamic port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x authentication is not enabled. If you try to change the mode of an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port to dynamic, the port mode is not changed.

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

Configuring a port as an IEEE 802IEEE 802.1Q tunnel port has these limitations:

IP routing and fallback bridging are not supported on tunnel ports.

Tunnel ports do not support IP access control lists (ACLs).

If an IP ACL is applied to a trunk port in a VLAN that includes tunnel ports, or if a VLAN map is applied to a VLAN that includes tunnel ports, packets received from the tunnel port are treated as non-IP packets and filtered with MAC access lists.

Layer 3 QoS ACLs and other QoS features related to Layer 3 information are not supported on tunnel ports.


Note For more information about configuring IEEE 802.1Q tunnel ports, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The no form of the switchport nonegotiate command removes nonegotiate status.

This command is valid only when the interface switchport mode is access or trunk (configured by using the switchport mode access or the switchport mode trunk interface configuration command). This command returns an error if you attempt to execute it in dynamic (auto or desirable) mode.

Internetworking devices that do not support DTP might forward DTP frames improperly and cause misconfigurations. To avoid this, you should turn off DTP by using the switchport no negotiate command to configure the interfaces connected to devices that do not support DTP to not forward DTP frames.

When you enter the switchport nonegotiate command, DTP negotiation packets are not sent on the interface. The device does or does not trunk according to the mode parameter: access or trunk.

If you do not intend to trunk across those links, use the switchport mode access interface configuration command to disable trunking.

To enable trunking on a device that does not support DTP, use the switchport mode trunk and switchport nonegotiate interface configuration commands to cause the interface to become a trunk but to not generate DTP frames.

Examples

This example shows how to cause a port interface to refrain from negotiating trunking mode and to act as a trunk or access port (depending on the mode set):

Switch(config-if)# switchport nonegotiate

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command.

switchport port-security [aging] [violation {protect | restrict | shutdown}]

no switchport port-security [aging] [violation {protect | restrict | shutdown}]

Syntax Description

aging

(Optional) See the switchport port-security aging command.

mac-address mac-address

(Optional) Specify a secure MAC address for the interface by entering a 48-bit MAC address. You can add additional secure MAC addresses up to the maximum value configured.

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) On a trunk port only, specify the VLAN ID and the MAC address. If no VLAN ID is specified, the native VLAN is used.

vlan access

(Optional) On an access port, specify the VLAN as an access VLAN.

vlan voice

(Optional) On an access port, specify the VLAN as a voice VLAN.

Note The voice keyword is available only if voice VLAN is configured on a port and if that port is not the access VLAN.

mac-address sticky [mac-address]

(Optional) Enable the interface for sticky learning by entering only the mac-address sticky keywords. When sticky learning is enabled, the interface adds all secure MAC addresses that are dynamically learned to the running configuration and converts these addresses to sticky secure MAC addresses.

(Optional) Enter a mac-address to specify a sticky secure MAC address.

maximum value

(Optional) The maximum number of available addresses is determined by the active Switch Database Management (SDM) template. The default is 1.

vlan [vlan-list]

(Optional) For trunk ports, you can set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses on a VLAN. If the vlan keyword is not entered, the default value is used.

vlan—set a per-VLAN maximum value.

vlan vlan-list—set a per-VLAN maximum value on a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen or a series of VLANs separated by commas. For nonspecified VLANs, the per-VLAN maximum value is used.

violation

(Optional) Set the security violation mode or the action to be taken if port security is violated. The default is shutdown.

protect

Set the security violation protect mode. In this mode, when the number of port secure MAC addresses reaches the maximum limit allowed on the port, packets with unknown source addresses are dropped until you remove a sufficient number of secure MAC addresses to drop below the maximum value or increase the number of maximum allowable addresses. You are not notified that a security violation has occurred.

Note We do not recommend configuring the protect mode on a trunk port. The protect mode disables learning when any VLAN reaches its maximum limit, even if the port has not reached its maximum limit.

restrict

Set the security violation restrict mode. In this mode, when the number of secure MAC addresses reaches the limit allowed on the port, packets with unknown source addresses are dropped until you remove a sufficient number of secure MAC addresses or increase the number of maximum allowable addresses. An SNMP trap is sent, a syslog message is logged, and the violation counter increments.

shutdown

Set the security violation shutdown mode. In this mode, the interface is error-disabled when a violation occurs and the port LED turns off. An SNMP trap is sent, a syslog message is logged, and the violation counter increments. When a secure port is in the error-disabled state, you can bring it out of this state by entering the errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation global configuration command, or you can manually re-enable it by entering the shutdown and no shut down interface configuration commands.


Port security is disabled.

When port security is enabled and no keywords are entered, the default maximum number of secure MAC addresses is 1.

Sticky learning is disabled.

The default violation mode is shutdown.

Usage Guidelines

A secure port has these limitations:

A secure port can be an access port or a trunk port; it cannot be a dynamic access port.

A secure port cannot be a routed port.

A secure port cannot be a protected port.

A secure port cannot be a destination port for Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN).

A secure port cannot belong to a Fast EtherChannel or Gigabit EtherChannel port group.

When you enable port security on an interface that is also configured with a voice VLAN, set the maximum allowed secure addresses on the port to two. When the port is connected to a Cisco IP phone, the Cisco IP phone requires up to two MAC addresses. The Cisco IP phone address is learned on the voice VLAN, but is not learned on the access VLAN. If you connect a single PC to the Cisco IP phone, no additional MAC addresses are required. If you connect more than one PC to the Cisco IP phone, you must configure enough secure addresses to allow one for each PC and one for the phone.

Voice VLAN is supported only on access ports and not on trunk ports.

When you enter a maximum secure address value for an interface, if the new value is greater than the previous value, the new value overrides the previously configured value. If the new value is less than the previous value and the number of configured secure addresses on the interface exceeds the new value, the command is rejected.

The switch does not support port security aging of sticky secure MAC addresses.

A security violation occurs when the maximum number of secure MAC addresses are in the address table and a station whose MAC address is not in the address table attempts to access the interface or when a station whose MAC address is configured as a secure MAC address on another secure port attempts to access the interface.

When a secure port is in the error-disabled state, you can bring it out of this state by entering the errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation global configuration command, or you can manually re-enable it by entering the shutdown and no shut down interface configuration commands.

Setting a maximum number of addresses to one and configuring the MAC address of an attached device ensures that the device has the full bandwidth of the port.

When you enter a maximum secure address value for an interface, this occurs:

If the new value is greater than the previous value, the new value overrides the previously configured value.

If the new value is less than the previous value and the number of configured secure addresses on the interface exceeds the new value, the command is rejected.

Sticky secure MAC addresses have these characteristics:

When you enable sticky learning on an interface by using the switchport port-security mac-address sticky interface configuration command, the interface converts all the dynamic secure MAC addresses, including those that were dynamically learned before sticky learning was enabled, to sticky secure MAC addresses and adds all sticky secure MAC addresses to the running configuration.

If you disable sticky learning by using the no switchport port-security mac-address sticky interface configuration command, the sticky secure MAC addresses are converted to dynamic secure addresses and are removed from the running configuration. If you remove the sticky MAC addresses from the running configuration, the sticky secure MAC addresses are removed from the running configuration and the address table.

When you configure sticky secure MAC addresses by using the switchport port-security mac-address sticky mac-address interface configuration command, these addresses are added to the address table and the running configuration. If port security is disabled, the sticky secure MAC addresses remain in the running configuration.

If you save the sticky secure MAC addresses in the configuration file, when the switch restarts or the interface shuts down, the interface does not need to relearn these addresses. If you do not save the sticky secure addresses, they are lost. If sticky learning is disabled, the sticky secure MAC addresses are converted to dynamic secure addresses and are removed from the running configuration.

If you disable sticky learning and enter the switchport port-security mac-address sticky mac-address interface configuration command, an error message appears, and the sticky secure MAC address is not added to the running configuration.

Examples

This example shows how to enable port security on a port and to set the maximum number of secure addresses to 5. The violation mode is the default, and no secure MAC addresses are configured.

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 5

This example shows how to configure a secure MAC address on a port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address 1000.2000.3000

This example shows how to enable sticky learning:

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky 

This example shows how to configure a secure MAC address on a trunk port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address 1000.2000.3000 vlan 9

This example shows how to configure a maximum of 5 secure MAC addresses on VLAN 9:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 5 vlan 9

You can verify the settings for all secure ports or the specified port by using the show port-security privileged EXEC command.

switchport port-security aging

Use the switchport port-security aging interface configuration command to set the aging time and type for secure address entries or to change the aging behavior for statically configured secure addresses on a particular port. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

switchport port-security aging {static | time time | type {absolute | inactivity}}

no switchport port-security aging {static | time | type}

Syntax Description

static

Enable aging for statically configured secure addresses on this port.

time time

Specify the aging time for this port. The range is 0 to 1440 minutes. If the time is 0, aging is disabled for this port.

type absolute

Set the aging type as absolute aging. All the secure addresses on this port age out after the time (minutes) specified and are removed from the secure address list.

type inactivity

Set the aging type as inactivity aging. The secure addresses on this port age out only if there is no data traffic from the secure source address for the specified time period.

Usage Guidelines

To enable secure address aging for a particular port, set the aging time to a value other than 0 for that port.

To allow limited-time access to specific secure MAC addresses, set the aging type as absolute. When the aging time lapses, the secure addresses are deleted. When the device sends traffic again, the deleted secure addresses are relearned.


Note The absolute aging time could vary by 1 minute, depending on the sequence of the system timer.


To allow continuous access to a limited number of secure addresses, set the aging type as inactivity. This removes the secure address when it become inactive, and other addresses can become secure.

To allow unlimited access to a secure address, configure it as a secure address, and disable aging for the statically configured secure address by using the no switchport port-security aging static interface configuration command.

Examples

This example sets the aging time as 2 hours for absolute aging for all the secure addresses on a port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 120

This example sets the aging time as 2 minutes for inactivity aging type with aging enabled for configured secure addresses on a port:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 2 
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging type inactivity

Modification

12.1(4)EA1

Usage Guidelines

The switchport protection feature is local to the switch; communication between protected ports on the same switch is possible only through a Layer 3 device. To prevent communication between protected ports on different switches, you must configure the protected ports for unique VLANs on each switch and configure a trunk link between the switches. A protected port is different from a secure port.

A protected port does not forward any unicast, multicast, or broadcast traffic to any other protected port. A protected port continues to forward unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic to unprotected ports and vice versa.

Port monitoring does not work if both the monitor and monitored ports are protected ports.

Protected ports are supported on IEEE 802.1Q trunks.

Examples

This example shows how to enable a protected port on an interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport protected

Specify that if Dynamic Inter-Switch Link (DISL) and Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) negotiation do not resolve the encapsulation format, ISL is the selected format.

native vlan vlan-id

Set the native VLAN for sending and receiving untagged traffic when the interface is in IEEE 802.1Q trunking mode. The range is 1 to 4094.

pruning vlan vlan-list

Set the list of VLANs that are eligible for VTP pruning when in trunking mode. The all keyword is not valid.


The vlan-list format is all | none | [add | remove | except] vlan-atom [,vlan-atom...] where:

all specifies all VLANs from 1 to 4094. This keyword is not allowed on commands that do not permit all VLANs in the list to be set at the same time.

none means an empty list. This keyword is not allowed on commands that require certain VLANs to be set or at least one VLAN to be set.

add adds the defined list of VLANs to those currently set instead of replacing the list. The range is 1 to 1005; extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs greater than 1005) are valid in some cases.


Note You can add extended-range VLANs to the allowed VLAN list, but not to the pruning-eligible VLAN list.


Separate nonconsecutive VLAN IDs with a comma; use a hyphen to designate a range of IDs.remove removes the defined list of VLANs from those currently set instead of replacing the list. The range is 1 to 1005; extended-range VLAN IDs are valid in some cases.


Note You can remove extended-range VLANs from the allowed VLAN list, but you cannot remove them from the pruning-eligible list.


Separate nonconsecutive VLAN IDs with a comma; use a hyphen to designate a range of IDs.

except lists the VLANs that should be calculated by inverting the defined list of VLANs. (VLANs are added except the ones specified.) The range is 1 to 1005. Separate nonconsecutive VLAN IDs with a comma; use a hyphen to designate a range of IDs.

vlan-atom is either a single VLAN number from 1 to 4094 or a continuous range of VLANs described by two VLAN numbers, the lesser one first, separated by a hyphen.

Defaults

The default encapsulation is negotiate.

VLAN 1 is the default native VLAN ID on the port.

The default for all VLAN lists is to include all VLANs.

Usage Guidelines

Encapsulation:

The switchport trunk encapsulation command is supported only for platforms and interface hardware that can support both ISL and IEEE 802.1Q formats.

You cannot configure one end of the trunk as an IEEE 802.1Q trunk and the other end as an ISL or nontrunk port. However, you can configure one port as an ISL trunk and a different port on the same switch as an IEEE 802.1Q trunk.

If you enter the negotiate keywords and DTP negotiation does not resolve the encapsulation format, ISL is the selected format. The no form of the command resets the trunk encapsulation format to the default.

The no form of the encapsulation command resets the encapsulation format to the default.

Native VLANs:

All untagged traffic received on an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port is forwarded with the native VLAN configured for the port.

If a packet has a VLAN ID that is the same as the sending-port native VLAN ID, the packet is sent without a tag; otherwise, the switch sends the packet with a tag.

The no form of the native vlan command resets the native mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device.

Allowed VLAN:

To reduce the risk of spanning-tree loops or storms, you can disable VLAN 1 on any individual VLAN trunk port by removing VLAN 1 from the allowed list. This is known as VLAN 1 minimization. VLAN 1 minimization disables VLAN 1 (the default VLAN on all Cisco switch trunk ports) on an individual VLAN trunk link. As a result, no user traffic, including spanning-tree advertisements, is sent or received on VLAN 1.

When you remove VLAN 1 from a trunk port, the interface continues to send and receive management traffic, for example, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), and VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) in VLAN 1.

The no form of the allowed vlan command resets the list to the default list, which allows all VLANs.

Trunk pruning:

The pruning-eligible list applies only to trunk ports.

Each trunk port has its own eligibility list.

If you do not want a VLAN to be pruned, remove it from the pruning-eligible list. VLANs that are pruning-ineligible receive flooded traffic.

VLAN 1, VLANs 1002 to 1005, and extended-range VLANs (VLANs 1006 to 4094) cannot be pruned.

Examples

This example shows how to cause a port interface configured as a switched interface to encapsulate in IEEE 802.1Q trunking format regardless of its default trunking format in trunking mode:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

This example shows how to configure VLAN 3 as the default port to send all untagged traffic:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 3

This example shows how to add VLANs 1, 2, 5, and 6 to the allowed list:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,2,5,6

This example shows how to remove VLANs 3 and 10 to 15 from the pruning-eligible list:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk pruning vlan remove 3,10-15

You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command.

switchport voice vlan

Use the switchport voice vlan interface configuration command to configure voice VLAN on the port. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

switchport voice vlan {vlan-id | dot1p | none | untagged}

no switchport voice vlan

Syntax Description

vlan-id

VLAN used for voice traffic. The range is 1 to 4094.

dot1p

The telephone uses priority tagging and uses VLAN 0 (the native VLAN). By default, the Cisco IP phone forwards the voice traffic with an IEEE 802.1p priority of 5.

none

The telephone is not instructed through the CLI about the voice VLAN. The telephone uses the configuration from the telephone key pad.

untagged

The telephone does not tag frames and uses VLAN 4095. The default for the telephone is untagged.


Defaults

The switch default is not to automatically configure the telephone (none).

The telephone default is not to tag frames.

Usage Guidelines

You should configure voice VLAN on access ports.

Before you enable voice VLAN, we recommend you enable quality of service (QoS) on the switch by entering the mls qos global configuration command and configure the port trust state to trust by entering the mls qos trust cos interface configuration command.

When you enable port security on an interface that is also configured with a voice VLAN, set the maximum allowed secure addresses on the port to two. When the port is connected to a Cisco IP phone, the IP phone requires one MAC address. The Cisco IP phone address is learned on the voice VLAN, but is not learned on the access VLAN. If you connect a single PC to the Cisco IP phone, no additional MAC addresses are required. If you connect more than one PC to the Cisco IP phone, you must configure enough secure addresses to allow one for each PC and one for the Cisco IP phone.

If any type of port security is enabled on the access VLAN, dynamic port security is automatically enabled on the voice VLAN.

You cannot configure static secure MAC addresses on the voice VLAN.

The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled when voice VLAN is configured. When you disable voice VLAN, the Port Fast feature is not automatically disabled.

Examples

This example shows how to configure VLAN 2 as the voice VLAN:

Switch(config-if)# switchport voice vlan 2

You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command.

system mtu

Use the system mtu global configuration command to set the maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for the switch. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

system mtu bytes

no system mtu

Syntax Description

bytes

Packet size in bytes. The range is 1500 to 2000 bytes for Gigabit Ethernet switches and 1500 to 1546 bytes for Fast Ethernet switches.


Defaults

The default MTU size is 1500 bytes.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(4)EA1

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you use this command to change the MTU size, you must reset the switch before the new configuration takes effect.

If you enter a value that is outside the range for the specific type of switch, the value is not accepted.


Note The switch does not support setting the MTU on a per-interface basis.


The size of frames that can be received by the switch CPU is limited to 1500 bytes, no matter what value was entered with the system mtu command. Although frames that are forwarded or routed typically are not received by the CPU, in some cases packets are sent to the CPU, such as traffic sent to control traffic, SNMP, Telnet, or routing protocols.

Examples

This example shows how to set the maximum packet size for a Gigabit Ethernet switch to 1580 bytes:

Switch(config)# system mtu 1580
Switch(config)# exit
Switch# reload

This example shows the response when you try to set a Fast Ethernet switch to an out-of-range number:

Switch(config)# system mtu 1580
                                ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

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