aaa accounting dot1x
Use the aaa accounting dot1x global configuration command to enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) accounting and to create method lists defining specific accounting methods on a per-line or per-interface basis for IEEE 802.1x sessions. Use the no form of this command to disable IEEE 802.1x accounting.
aaa accounting dot1x {name | default} start-stop {broadcast group {name | radius | tacacs+} [group {name | radius | tacacs+} ... ] | group {name | radius | tacacs+} [group {name | radius | tacacs+} ... ]}
no aaa accounting dot1x {name | default}
Syntax Description
Defaults
AAA accounting is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command requires access to a RADIUS server.
We recommend that you enter the dot1x reauthentication interface configuration command before configuring IEEE 802.1x RADIUS accounting on an interface.
Examples
This example shows how to configure IEEE 802.1x accounting:
Switch(config)# aaa new-modelSwitch(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
Note
The RADIUS authentication server must be properly configured to accept and log update or watchdog packets from the AAA client.
Related Commands
Specifies one or more AAA methods for use on interfaces running IEEE 802.1x.
aaa new-model
Enables the AAA access control model. For syntax information, see the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference, Release 12.2 > Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting > Authentication Commands.
Enables or disables periodic reauthentication.
dot1x timeout reauth-period
Sets the number of seconds between re-authentication attempts.
aaa authentication dot1x
Use the aaa authentication dot1x global configuration command to specify the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) method to use on ports complying with the IEEE 802.1x authentication. Use the no form of this command to disable authentication.
aaa authentication dot1x {default} method1
no aaa authentication dot1x {default}
Syntax Description
Note
Defaults
No authentication is performed.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The method argument identifies the method that the authentication algorithm tries in the given sequence to validate the password provided by the client. The only method that is truly IEEE 802.1x-compliant is the group radius method, in which the client data is validated against a RADIUS authentication server.
If you specify group radius, you must configure the RADIUS server by entering the radius-server host global configuration command.
Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the configured lists of authentication methods.
Examples
This example shows how to enable AAA and how to create an IEEE 802.1x-compliant authentication list. This authentication first tries to contact a RADIUS server. If this action returns an error, the user is not allowed access to the network.
Switch(config)# aaa new-modelSwitch(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group radiusYou can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
aaa authorization network
Use the aaa authorization network global configuration command to the configure the switch to use user-RADIUS authorization for all network-related service requests, such as IEEE 802.1x per-user access control lists (ACLs) or VLAN assignment. Use the no form of this command to disable RADIUS user authorization.
aaa authorization network default group radius
no aaa authorization network default
Syntax Description
default group radius
Use the list of all RADIUS hosts in the server group as the default authorization list.
Defaults
Authorization is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the aaa authorization network default group radius global configuration command to allow the switch to download IEEE 802.1x authorization parameters from the RADIUS servers in the default authorization list. The authorization parameters are used by features such as per-user ACLs or VLAN assignment to get parameters from the RADIUS servers.
Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the configured lists of authorization methods.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the switch for user RADIUS authorization for all network-related service requests:
Switch(config)# aaa authorization network default group radiusYou can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
action
Use the action access-map configuration command to set the action for the VLAN access map entry. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
action {drop | forward}
no action
Syntax Description
drop
Drop the packet when the specified conditions are matched.
forward
Forward the packet when the specified conditions are matched.
Defaults
The default action is to forward packets.
Command Modes
Access-map configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You enter access-map configuration mode by using the vlan access-map global configuration command.
If the action is drop, you should define the access map, including configuring any access control list (ACL) names in match clauses, before applying the map to a VLAN, or all packets could be dropped.
In access-map configuration mode, use the match access-map configuration command to define the match conditions for a VLAN map. Use the action command to set the action that occurs when a packet matches the conditions.
The drop and forward parameters are not used in the no form of the command.
Examples
This example shows how to identify and apply a VLAN access map vmap4 to VLANs 5 and 6 that causes the VLAN to forward an IP packet if the packet matches the conditions defined in access list al2:
Switch(config)# vlan access-map vmap4Switch(config-access-map)# match ip address al2Switch(config-access-map)# action forwardSwitch(config-access-map)# exitSwitch(config)# vlan filter vmap4 vlan-list 5-6You can verify your settings by entering the show vlan access-map privileged EXEC command.

archive download-sw
Use the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to download a new image from a TFTP server to the switch and to overwrite or keep the existing image.
archive download-sw {/allow-feature-upgrade | /directory | /force-reload | /imageonly | /leave-old-sw | /no-set-boot | /overwrite | /reload | /safe} source-url
Syntax Description
Defaults
The current software image is not overwritten with the downloaded image.
Both the software image and HTML files are downloaded.
The new image is downloaded to the flash: file system.
The BOOT environment variable is changed to point to the new software image on the flash: file system.
Image names are case sensitive; the image file is provided in tar format.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
12.1(19)EA1
This command was introduced.
12.2(20)SE
The http and https keywords were added.
12.2(35)SE
The allow-feature-upgrade and directory keywords were added.
Usage Guidelines
Use the /allow-feature-upgrade option to allow installation of an image with a different feature set, for example, upgrading from the IP base image to the IP services image.
Beginning with Cisco IOS release 12.2(35)SE, you can use the archive download-sw /directory command to specify a directory one time The /imageonly option removes the HTML files for the existing image if the existing image is being removed or replaced. Only the Cisco IOS image (without the HTML files) is downloaded.
Using the /safe or /leave-old-sw option can cause the new image download to fail if there is insufficient flash memory. If leaving the software in place prevents the new image from fitting in flash memory due to space constraints, an error results.
If you used the /leave-old-sw option and did not overwrite the old image when you downloaded the new one, you can remove the old image by using the delete privileged EXEC command. For more information, see the "delete" section.
Use the /overwrite option to overwrite the image on the flash device with the downloaded one.
If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the download algorithm verifies that the new image is not the same as the one on the switch flash device. If the images are the same, the download does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is deleted, and the new one is downloaded.
After downloading a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new image, or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive download-sw command.
Use the /directory option to specify a directory for images.
Examples
This example shows how to download a new image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 and to overwrite the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tarThis example shows how to download only the software image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 to the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /imageonly tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tarThis example shows how to keep the old software version after a successful download:
Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tarRelated Commands
archive tar
Use the archive tar privileged EXEC command to create a tar file, list files in a tar file, or extract the files from a tar file.

Creates a tar file, lists the files in a tar file, or extracts the files from a tar file.
arp access-list
Use the arp access-list global configuration command to define an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) access control list (ACL) or to add clauses to the end of a previously defined list. Use the no form of this command to delete the specified ARP access list.
arp access-list acl-name
no arp access-list acl-name
Syntax Description
Defaults
No ARP access lists are defined.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
After entering the arp access-list command, you enter ARP access-list configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
•
Use the permit and deny access-list configuration commands to forward and to drop ARP packets based on the specified matching criteria.
When the ARP ACL is defined, you can apply it to a VLAN by using the ip arp inspection filter vlan global configuration command. ARP packets containing only IP-to-MAC address bindings are compared to the ACL. All other types of packets are bridged in the ingress VLAN without validation. If the ACL permits a packet, the switch forwards it. If the ACL denies a packet because of an explicit deny statement, the switch drops the packet. If the ACL denies a packet because of an implicit deny statement, the switch compares the packet to the list of DHCP bindings (unless the ACL is static, which means that packets are not compared to the bindings).
Examples
This example shows how to define an ARP access list and to permit both ARP requests and ARP responses from a host with an IP address of 1.1.1.1 and a MAC address of 0000.0000.abcd:
Switch(config)# arp access-list static-hostsSwitch(config-arp-nacl)# permit ip host 1.1.1.1 mac host 00001.0000.abcdSwitch(config-arp-nacl)# endYou can verify your settings by entering the show arp access-list privileged EXEC command.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the QoS appropriate for VoIP traffic within the QoS domain. The QoS domain includes the switch, the interior of the network, and edge devices that can classify incoming traffic for QoS.
In releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)SE, auto-QoS configures the switch only for VoIP with Cisco IP Phones on switch ports.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)SE or later, auto-QoS configures the switch for VoIP with Cisco IP Phones on switch and routed ports and for VoIP with devices running the Cisco SoftPhone application. These releases support only Cisco IP SoftPhone Version 1.3(3) or later. Connected devices must use Cisco Call Manager Version 4 or later.
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE, the show auto qos command output shows the service policy information for the Cisco IP phone.
To take advantage of the auto-QoS defaults, you should enable auto-QoS before you configure other QoS commands. You can fine-tune the auto-QoS configuration after you enable auto-QoS.
Note
If this is the first port on which you have enabled auto-QoS, the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands are executed followed by the interface configuration commands. If you enable auto-QoS on another port, only the auto-QoS-generated interface configuration commands for that port are executed.
When you enable the auto-QoS feature on the first port, these automatic actions occur:
•
If the switch port was configured by using the auto qos voip cisco-phone interface configuration command in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE or earlier, the auto-QoS generated commands new to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE are not applied to the port. To have these commands automatically applied, you must remove and then reapply the configuration to the port.
•
•
You can enable auto-QoS on static, dynamic-access, and voice VLAN access, and trunk ports. When enabling auto-QoS with a Cisco IP Phone on a routed port, you must assign a static IP address to the IP phone.
Note
After auto-QoS is enabled, do not modify a policy map or aggregate policer that includes AutoQoS in its name. If you need to modify the policy map or aggregate policer, make a copy of it, and change the copied policy map or policer. To use the new policy map instead of the generated one, remove the generated policy map from the interface, and apply the new policy map.
To display the QoS configuration that is automatically generated when auto-QoS is enabled, enable debugging before you enable auto-QoS. Use the debug auto qos privileged EXEC command to enable auto-QoS debugging. For more information, see the debug auto qos command.
To disable auto-QoS on a port, use the no auto qos voip interface configuration command. Only the auto-QoS-generated interface configuration commands for this port are removed. If this is the last port on which auto-QoS is enabled and you enter the no auto qos voip command, auto-QoS is considered disabled even though the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands remain (to avoid disrupting traffic on other ports affected by the global configuration). You can use the no mls qos global configuration command to disable the auto-QoS-generated global configuration commands. With QoS disabled, there is no concept of trusted or untrusted ports because the packets are not modified (the CoS, DSCP, and IP precedence values in the packet are not changed). Traffic is switched in pass-through mode (packets are switched without any rewrites and classified as best effort without any policing).
Examples
This example shows how to enable auto-QoS and to trust the QoS labels received in incoming packets when the switch or router connected to the port is a trusted device:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1Switch(config-if)# auto qos voip trustYou can verify your settings by entering the show auto qos interface interface-id privileged EXEC command.

Command History
12.1(19)EA1
This command was introduced.
12.2(25)SE
The channel-group-number range was changed from 1 to 12 to 1 to 48.
Usage Guidelines
For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you do not have to create a port-channel interface first by using the interface port-channel global configuration command before assigning a physical port to a channel group. Instead, you can use the channel-group interface configuration command. It automatically creates the port-channel interface when the channel group gets its first physical port if the logical interface is not already created. If you create the port-channel interface first, the channel-group-number can be the same as the port-channel-number, or you can use a new number. If you use a new number, the channel-group command dynamically creates a new port channel.
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical port that is part of a channel group, but we strongly recommend that you do so.
You create Layer 3 port channels by using the interface port-channel command followed by the no switchport interface configuration command. You should manually configure the port-channel logical interface before putting the interface into the channel group.
After you configure an EtherChannel, configuration changes that you make on the port-channel interface apply to all the physical ports assigned to the port-channel interface. Configuration changes applied to the physical port affect only the port where you apply the configuration. To change the parameters of all ports in an EtherChannel, apply configuration commands to the port-channel interface, for example, spanning-tree commands or commands to configure a Layer 2 EtherChannel as a trunk.
If you do not specify non-silent with the auto or desirable mode, silent is assumed. The silent mode is used when the switch is connected to a device that is not PAgP-capable and seldom, if ever, sends packets. A example of a silent partner is a file server or a packet analyzer that is not generating traffic. In this case, running PAgP on a physical port prevents that port from ever becoming operational. However, it allows PAgP to operate, to attach the port to a channel group, and to use the port for transmission. Both ends of the link cannot be set to silent.
In the on mode, an EtherChannel exists only when a port group in the on mode is connected to another port group in the on mode.
Caution
Do not configure an EtherChannel in both the PAgP and LACP modes. EtherChannel groups running PAgP and LACP can coexist on the same switch. Individual EtherChannel groups can run either PAgP or LACP, but they cannot interoperate.
If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol interface configuration command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.
Do not configure a port that is an active or a not-yet-active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x port. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on an EtherChannel port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x authentication is not enabled.
Note
Do not configure a secure port as part of an EtherChannel or an EtherChannel port as a secure port.
For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
Caution
Examples
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode accessSwitch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirableSwitch(config-if-range)# endThis example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode accessSwitch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode activeSwitch(config-if-range)# endYou can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
channel-protocol
Use the channel-protocol interface configuration command to restrict the protocol used on a port to manage channeling. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
channel-protocol {lacp | pagp}
no channel-protocol
Syntax Description
lacp
Configure an EtherChannel with the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
pagp
Configure an EtherChannel with the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP).
Defaults
No protocol is assigned to the EtherChannel.
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the channel-protocol command only to restrict a channel to LACP or PAgP. If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.
You must use the channel-group interface configuration command to configure the EtherChannel parameters. The channel-group command also can set the mode for the EtherChannel.
You cannot enable both the PAgP and LACP modes on an EtherChannel group.
PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.
Examples
This example shows how to specify LACP as the protocol that manages the EtherChannel:
Switch(config-if)# channel-protocol lacpYou can verify your settings by entering the show etherchannel [channel-group-number] protocol privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Assigns an Ethernet port to an EtherChannel group.
show etherchannel protocol

class
Use the class policy-map configuration command to define a traffic classification match criteria (through the police, set, and trust policy-map class configuration commands) for the specified class-map name. Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map.
class class-map-name
no class class-map-name
Syntax Description
Defaults
No policy map class-maps are defined.
Command Modes
Policy-map configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before using the class command, you must use the policy-map global configuration command to identify the policy map and to enter policy-map configuration mode. After specifying a policy map, you can configure a policy for new classes or modify a policy for any existing classes in that policy map. You attach the policy map to a port by using the service-policy interface configuration command.
After entering the class command, you enter policy-map class configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
•
To return to policy-map configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode, use the end command.
The class command performs the same function as the class-map global configuration command. Use the class command when a new classification, which is not shared with any other ports, is needed. Use the class-map command when the map is shared among many ports.
Examples
This example shows how to create a policy map called policy1. When attached to the ingress direction, it matches all the incoming traffic defined in class1, sets the IP Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to 10, and polices the traffic at an average rate of 1 Mb/s and bursts at 20 KB. Traffic exceeding the profile is marked down to a DSCP value gotten from the policed-DSCP map and then sent.
Switch(config)# policy-map policy1Switch(config-pmap)# class class1Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 10Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 1000000 20000 exceed-action policed-dscp-transmitSwitch(config-pmap-c)# exitYou can verify your settings by entering the show policy-map privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
class-map
Use the class-map global configuration command to create a class map to be used for matching packets to the class name you specify and to enter class-map configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete an existing class map and to return to global configuration mode.
class-map [match-all | match-any] class-map-name
no class-map [match-all | match-any] class-map-name
Syntax Description
Defaults
No class maps are defined.
If neither the match-all or match-any keyword is specified, the default is match-all.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify the name of the class for which you want to create or modify class-map match criteria and to enter class-map configuration mode.
The class-map command and its subcommands are used to define packet classification, marking, and aggregate policing as part of a globally named service policy applied on a per-port basis.
After you are in quality of service (QoS) class-map configuration mode, these configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
•
To define packet classification on a physical-port basis, only one match command per class map is supported. In this situation, the match-all and match-any keywords are equivalent.
Only one access control list (ACL) can be configured in a class map. The ACL can have multiple access control entries (ACEs).
Examples
This example shows how to configure the class map called class1 with one match criterion, which is an access list called 103:
Switch(config)# access-list 103 permit ip any any dscp 10Switch(config)# class-map class1Switch(config-cmap)# match access-group 103Switch(config-cmap)# exitThis example shows how to delete the class map class1:
Switch(config)# no class-map class1You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

clear spanning-tree detected-protocols
Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols privileged EXEC command to restart the protocol migration process (force the renegotiation with neighboring switches) on all interfaces or on the specified interface.
clear spanning-tree detected-protocols [interface interface-id]
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default is defined.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
A switch running the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) protocol or the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports a built-in protocol migration mechanism that enables it to interoperate with legacy IEEE 802.1D switches. If a rapid-PVST+ switch or an MSTP switch receives a legacy IEEE 802.1D configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) with the protocol version set to 0, it sends only IEEE 802.1D BPDUs on that port. A multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch can also detect that a port is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU, an MST BPDU (Version 3) associated with a different region, or a rapid spanning-tree (RST) BPDU (Version 2).
However, the switch does not automatically revert to the rapid-PVST+ or the MSTP mode if it no longer receives IEEE 802.1D BPDUs because it cannot learn whether the legacy switch has been removed from the link unless the legacy switch is the designated switch. Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols command in this situation.
Examples
This example shows how to restart the protocol migration process on a port:
Switch# clear spanning-tree detected-protocols interface gigabitethernet0/1Related Commands

cluster commander-address
You do not need to enter this command from a standalone cluster member switch. The cluster command switch automatically provides its MAC address to cluster member switches when these switches join the cluster. The cluster member switch adds this information and other cluster information to its running configuration file. Use the no form of this global configuration command from the cluster member switch console port to remove the switch from a cluster only during debugging or recovery procedures.
cluster commander-address mac-address [member number name name]
no cluster commander-address
Syntax Description
Defaults
The switch is not a member of any cluster.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on the cluster command switch.
A cluster member can have only one cluster command switch.
The cluster member switch retains the identity of the cluster command switch during a system reload by using the mac-address parameter.
You can enter the no form on a cluster member switch to remove it from the cluster during debugging or recovery procedures. You would normally use this command from the cluster member switch console port only when the member has lost communication with the cluster command switch. With normal switch configuration, we recommend that you remove cluster member switches only by entering the no cluster member n global configuration command on the cluster command switch.
When a standby cluster command switch becomes active (becomes the cluster command switch), it removes the cluster commander address line from its configuration.
Examples
This is partial sample output from the running configuration of a cluster member.
Switch(config)# show running-configuration<output truncated>cluster commander-address 00e0.9bc0.a500 member 4 name my_cluster<output truncated>This example shows how to remove a member from the cluster by using the cluster member console.

Use the cluster discovery hop-count global configuration command on the cluster command switch to set the hop-count limit for extended discovery of candidate switches. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
cluster discovery hop-count number
no cluster discovery hop-count
Syntax Description
number
Number of hops from the cluster edge that the cluster command switch limits the discovery of candidates. The range is 1 to 7.
Defaults
The hop count is set to 3.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
This command is available only on the cluster command switch. This command does not operate on cluster member switches.
If the hop count is set to 1, it disables extended discovery. The cluster command switch discovers only candidates that are one hop from the edge of the cluster. The edge of the cluster is the point between the last discovered cluster member switch and the first discovered candidate switch.
Examples
This example shows how to set hop count limit to 4. This command is executed on the cluster command switch.
Switch(config)# cluster discovery hop-count 4You can verify your setting by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Displays the cluster status and a summary of the cluster to which the switch belongs.
Displays a list of candidate switches.
cluster enable
Use the cluster enable global configuration command on a command-capable switch to enable it as the cluster command switch, assign a cluster name, and to optionally assign a member number to it. Use the no form of the command to remove all members and to make the cluster command switch a candidate switch.
cluster enable name [command-switch-member-number]
no cluster enable
Syntax Description
Defaults
The switch is not a cluster command switch.
No cluster name is defined.
The member number is 0 when the switch is the cluster command switch.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command on any command-capable switch that is not part of any cluster. This command fails if a device is already configured as a member of the cluster.
You must name the cluster when you enable the cluster command switch. If the switch is already configured as the cluster command switch, this command changes the cluster name if it is different from the previous cluster name.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the cluster command switch, name the cluster, and set the cluster command switch member number to 4.
Switch(config)# cluster enable Engineering-IDF4 4You can verify your setting by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command on the cluster command switch.
Related Commands
Displays the cluster status and a summary of the cluster to which the switch belongs.
cluster holdtime
Use the cluster holdtime global configuration command to set the duration in seconds before a switch (either the command or cluster member switch) declares the other switch down after not receiving heartbeat messages. Use the no form of this command to set the duration to the default value.
cluster holdtime holdtime-in-secs
no cluster holdtime
Syntax Description
holdtime-in-secs
Duration in seconds before a switch (either a command or cluster member switch) declares the other switch down. The range is 1 to 300 seconds.
Defaults
The default holdtime is 80 seconds.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command with the cluster timer global configuration command only on the cluster command switch. The cluster command switch propagates the values to all its cluster members so that the setting is consistent among all switches in the cluster.
The holdtime is typically set as a multiple of the interval timer (cluster timer). For example, it takes (holdtime-in-secs divided by the interval-in-secs) number of heartbeat messages to be missed in a row to declare a switch down.
Examples
This example shows how to change the interval timer and the duration on the cluster command switch.
Switch(config)# cluster timer 3Switch(config)# cluster holdtime 30You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Displays the cluster status and a summary of the cluster to which the switch belongs.
cluster member
Use the cluster member global configuration command on the cluster command switch to add candidates to a cluster. Use the no form of the command to remove members from the cluster.
cluster member [n] mac-address H.H.H [password enable-password] [vlan vlan-id]
no cluster member n
Syntax Description
Defaults
A newly enabled cluster command switch has no associated cluster members.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command only on the cluster command switch to add a candidate to or remove a member from the cluster. If you enter this command on a switch other than the cluster command switch, the switch rejects the command and displays an error message.
You must enter a member number to remove a switch from the cluster. However, you do not need to enter a member number to add a switch to the cluster. The cluster command switch selects the next available member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.
You must enter the enable password of the candidate switch for authentication when it joins the cluster. The password is not saved in the running or startup configuration. After a candidate switch becomes a member of the cluster, its password becomes the same as the cluster command-switch password.
If a switch does not have a configured hostname, the cluster command switch appends a member number to the cluster command-switch hostname and assigns it to the cluster member switch.
If you do not specify a VLAN ID, the cluster command switch automatically chooses a VLAN and adds the candidate to the cluster.
Examples
This example shows how to add a switch as member 2 with MAC address 00E0.1E00.2222 and the password key to a cluster. The cluster command switch adds the candidate to the cluster through VLAN 3.
Switch(config)# cluster member 2 mac-address 00E0.1E00.2222 password key vlan 3This example shows how to add a switch with MAC address 00E0.1E00.3333 to the cluster. This switch does not have a password. The cluster command switch selects the next available member number and assigns it to the switch that is joining the cluster.
Switch(config)# cluster member mac-address 00E0.1E00.3333You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster members privileged EXEC command on the cluster command switch.
Related Commands

Displays a list of candidate switches.
Displays information about the cluster members.
cluster outside-interface
Use the cluster outside-interface global configuration command to configure the outside interface for cluster Network Address Translation (NAT) so that a member without an IP address can communicate with devices outside the cluster. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
cluster outside-interface interface-id
no cluster outside-interface
Syntax Description
interface-id
Interface to serve as the outside interface. Valid interfaces include physical interfaces, port-channels, or VLANs. The port-channel range is 1 to 48. The VLAN range is 1 to 4094.
Defaults
The default outside interface is automatically selected by the cluster command switch.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command only on the cluster command switch. If you enter this command on a cluster member switch, an error message appears.
Examples
This example shows how to set the outside interface to VLAN 1:
Switch(config)# cluster outside-interface vlan 1You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

cluster run
Use the cluster run global configuration command to enable clustering on a switch. Use the no form of this command to disable clustering on a switch.
cluster run
no cluster run
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Clustering is enabled on all switches.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
When you enter the no cluster run command on a cluster command switch, the cluster command switch is disabled. Clustering is disabled, and the switch cannot become a candidate switch.
When you enter the no cluster run command on a cluster member switch, it is removed from the cluster. Clustering is disabled, and the switch cannot become a candidate switch.
When you enter the no cluster run command on a switch that is not part of a cluster, clustering is disabled on this switch. This switch cannot then become a candidate switch.
Examples
This example shows how to disable clustering on the cluster command switch:
Switch(config)# no cluster runYou can verify your setting by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Displays the cluster status and a summary of the cluster to which the switch belongs.
cluster standby-group
Use the cluster standby-group global configuration command to enable cluster command-switch redundancy by binding the cluster to an existing Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). Entering the routing-redundancy keyword enables the same HSRP group to be used for cluster command-switch redundancy and routing redundancy. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
cluster standby-group HSRP-group-name [routing-redundancy]
no cluster standby-group
Syntax Description
Defaults
The cluster is not bound to any HSRP group.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command only on the cluster command switch. If you enter it on a cluster member switch, an error message appears.
The cluster command switch propagates the cluster-HSRP binding information to all cluster-HSRP capable members. Each cluster member switch stores the binding information in its NVRAM. The HSRP group name must be a valid standby group; otherwise, the command exits with an error.
The same group name should be used on all members of the HSRP standby group that is to be bound to the cluster. The same HSRP group name should also be used on all cluster-HSRP capable members for the HSRP group that is to be bound. (When not binding a cluster to an HSRP group, you can use different names on the cluster commander and the members.)
Examples
This example shows how to bind the HSRP group named my_hsrp to the cluster. This command is executed on the cluster command switch.
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrpThis example shows how to use the same HSRP group named my_hsrp for routing redundancy and cluster redundancy.
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp routing-redundancyThis example shows the error message when this command is executed on a cluster command switch and the specified HSRP standby group does not exist:
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp%ERROR: Standby (my_hsrp) group does not existThis example shows the error message when this command is executed on a cluster member switch:
Switch(config)# cluster standby-group my_hsrp routing-redundancy%ERROR: This command runs on a cluster command switchYou can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command. The output shows whether redundancy is enabled in the cluster.

cluster timer
Use the cluster timer global configuration command to set the interval in seconds between heartbeat messages. Use the no form of this command to set the interval to the default value.
cluster timer interval-in-secs
no cluster timer
Syntax Description
Defaults
The interval is 8 seconds.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter this command with the cluster holdtime global configuration command only on the cluster command switch. The cluster command switch propagates the values to all its cluster members so that the setting is consistent among all switches in the cluster.
The holdtime is typically set as a multiple of the heartbeat interval timer (cluster timer). For example, it takes (holdtime-in-secs divided by the interval-in-secs) number of heartbeat messages to be missed in a row to declare a switch down.
Examples
This example shows how to change the heartbeat interval timer and the duration on the cluster command switch:
Switch(config)# cluster timer 3Switch(config)# cluster holdtime 30You can verify your settings by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Displays the cluster status and a summary of the cluster to which the switch belongs.
define interface-range
Use the define interface-range global configuration command to create an interface-range macro. Use the no form of this command to delete the defined macro.
define interface-range macro-name interface-range
no define interface-range macro-name interface-range
Syntax Description
macro-name
Name of the interface-range macro; up to 32 characters.
interface-range
Interface range; for valid values for interface ranges, see "Usage Guidelines."
Defaults
This command has no default setting.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The macro name is a 32-character maximum character string.
A macro can contain up to five ranges.
All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs, but you can combine multiple interface types in a macro.
When entering the interface-range, use this format:
•
•
Valid values for type and interface:
•
VLAN interfaces must have been configured with the interface vlan command (the show running-config privileged EXEC command displays the configured VLAN interfaces). VLAN interfaces not displayed by the show running-config command cannot be used in interface-ranges.
•
•
•
For physical interfaces:
•
•
When you define a range, you must enter a space before the hyphen (-), for example:
gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
You can also enter multiple ranges. When you define multiple ranges, you must enter a space after the first entry before the comma (,). The space after the comma is optional, for example:
fastethernet0/3, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
fastethernet0/3 -4, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Examples
This example shows how to create a multiple-interface macro:
Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 fastethernet0/1 - 2, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2Related Commands
delete
Use the delete privileged EXEC command to delete a file or directory on the flash memory device.
delete [/force] [/recursive] filesystem:/file-url
Syntax Description
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If you use the /force keyword, you are prompted once at the beginning of the deletion process to confirm the deletion.
If you use the /recursive keyword without the /force keyword, you are prompted to confirm the deletion of every file.
The prompting behavior depends on the setting of the file prompt global configuration command. By default, the switch prompts for confirmation on destructive file operations. For more information about this command, see the Cisco IOS Command Reference for Release 12.1.
Examples
This example shows how to remove the directory that contains the old software image after a successful download of a new image:
Switch# delete /force /recursive flash:/old-imageYou can verify that the directory was removed by entering the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command.

Note
Syntax Description
Note
Defaults
No IPv6 access list is defined.
Command Modes
IPv6 access list configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The deny (IPv6 access-list configuration mode) command is similar to the deny (IPv4 access-list configuration mode) command, except that it is IPv6-specific.
Use the deny (IPv6) command after the ipv6 access-list command to enter IPv6 access list configuration mode and to define the conditions under which a packet passes the access list.
Specifying IPv6 for the protocol argument matches against the IPv6 header of the packet.
By default, the first statement in an access list is number 10, and the subsequent statements are numbered in increments of 10.
You can add permit, deny, or remark statements to an existing access list without re-entering the entire list. To add a new statement anywhere other than at the end of the list, create a new statement with an appropriate entry number that falls between two existing entry numbers to show where it belongs.
Note
The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses the IPv6 network layer service. Therefore, by default, IPv6 ACLs implicitly allow IPv6 neighbor discovery packets to be sent and received on an interface. In IPv4, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is equivalent to the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data-link layer protocol. Therefore, by default, IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.Both the source-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length and destination-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length arguments are used for traffic filtering. (The source prefix filters traffic based upon the traffic source; the destination prefix filters traffic based upon the traffic destination.)
The switch supports only prefixes from /0 to /64 and EUI-based /128 prefixes for aggregatable global unicast and link-local host addresses.
The fragments keyword is an option only if the protocol is ipv6 and the operator [port-number] arguments are not specified.
This is a list of ICMP message names:
Examples
This example configures the IPv6 access list named CISCO and applies the access list to outbound traffic on a Layer 3 interface. The first deny entry in the list prevents all packets that have a destination TCP port number greater than 5000 from leaving the interface. The second deny entry in the list prevents all packets that have a source UDP port number less than 5000 from leaving the interface. The second deny also logs all matches to the console. The first permit entry in the list permits all ICMP packets to leave the interface. The second permit entry in the list permits all other traffic to leave the interface. The second permit entry is necessary because an implicit deny-all condition is at the end of each IPv6 access list.

Syntax Description
Note
To filter IPX traffic, you use the type mask or lsap lsap mask keywords, depending on the type of IPX encapsulation being used. Filter criteria for IPX encapsulation types as specified in Novell terminology and Cisco IOS terminology are listed in Table 2-4.
Defaults
This command has no defaults. However; the default action for a MAC-named ACL is to deny.
Command Modes
MAC-access list configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You enter MAC-access list configuration mode by using the mac access-list extended global configuration command.
If you use the host keyword, you cannot enter an address mask; if you do not use the host keyword, you must enter an address mask.
When an access control entry (ACE) is added to an access control list, an implied deny-any-any condition exists at the end of the list. That is, if there are no matches, the packets are denied. However, before the first ACE is added, the list permits all packets.
For more information about named MAC extended access lists, see the software configuration guide for this release.
Examples
This example shows how to define the named MAC extended access list to deny NETBIOS traffic from any source to MAC address 00c0.00a0.03fa. Traffic matching this list is denied.
