aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
To enable accounting for 802.1X authentication sessions, use the aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius command. To disable accounting, use the no form of this command.
aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
no aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Accounting is disabled.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History
12.2(18)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
802.1X accounting requires a RADIUS server.
This command enables the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) client's accounting feature to forward 802.1X update and watchdog packets from the 802.1X supplicant (workstation client) to the authentication (RADIUS) server. (Watchdog packets are defined as EAPOL-LOGON, EAPOL-LOGOFF, and EAPOL-INTERIM messages.) Successful authentication and authorization of the supplicant by the authentication server is required before these packets are considered valid and are forwarded. When the client is reauthenticated, an interim-update accounting notice is sent to the accounting server.
Examples
This example shows how to configure 802.1X accounting:
Switch(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

access-group mode
To specify the override modes (for example, VACL overrides PACL) and the non-override modes (for example, merge or strict mode), use the access-group mode command. To return to preferred port mode, use the no form of this command.
access-group mode {prefer {port | vlan} | merge}
no access-group mode {prefer {port | vlan} | merge}
Syntax Description
Defaults
PACL override mode
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Command History
12.1(19)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
On the Layer 2 interface, prefer port, prefer VLAN, and merge modes are supported. A Layer 2 interface can have one IP ACL applied in either direction (one inbound and one outbound).
Examples
This example shows how to make the PACL mode on the switch take effect:
(config-if)# access-group mode prefer portThis example shows how to merge applicable ACL features:
(config-if)# access-group mode mergeRelated Commands
access-list hardware capture mode
To select the mode of capturing control packets, use the access-list hardware capture mode command.
access-list hardware capture mode {global | vlan}
Syntax Description
global
Specifies the capture of control packets globally on all VLANs.
vlan
Specifies the capture of control packets on a specific VLAN.
Defaults
The control packets are globally captured.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History
12.2(40)SG
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
This command is not supported on the Supervisor Engine 6-E and Catalyst 4900M chassis.
Before configuring the capture mode, it is best to examine and modify your configuration to globally disable features such as DHCP snooping or IGMP snooping, and instead enable them on specific VLANs.
When changing to path managed mode, be aware that control traffic may be bridged in hardware or dropped initially until the per-vlan CAM entries are programmed in hardware.
You must ensure that any access control configuration on a member port or VLAN does not deny or drop the control packets from being forwarded to the CPU for the features which are enabled on the VLAN. If control packets are not permitted then the specific feature does not function.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the switch to capture control packets on VLANs that are configured to enable capturing control packets.
Switch# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Switch(config)# access-list hardware capture mode vlanSwitch(config)# endSwitch#This example shows how to configure the switch to capture control packets globally across all VLANs (using a static ACL).

Switch# configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.Switch(config)# no access-list hardware capture mode vlanSwitch(config)# endSwitch#access-list hardware entries
To designate how ACLs are programmed into the switch hardware, use the access-list hardware entries command.
access-list hardware entries {packed | scattered}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The ACLs are programmed as packed.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History
12.2(20)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
Two types of hardware resources are used when ACLs are programmed: entries and masks. If one of these resources is consumed, no additional ACLs can be programmed into the hardware. If the masks are consumed, but the entries are available, change the programming algorithm from packed to scattered to make the masks available. This action allows additional ACLs to be programmed into the hardware.
The goal is to use TCAM resources more efficiently; that is, to minimize the number of masks per ACL entries. To compare TCAM utilization when using the scattered or packed algorithms, use the
show platform hardware acl statistics utilization brief command. To change the algorithm from packed to scattered, use the access-list hardware entries command.Examples
This example shows how to program ACLs into the hardware as packed. After they are programmed, you will need 89 percent of the masks to program only 49 percent of the ACL entries.

To modify the balance between TCAM regions in hardware, use the access-list hardware region command.
access-list hardware region {feature | qos} {input | output} balance {bal-num}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default region balance for each TCAM is 50.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History
12.2(31)SG
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
PandV is a TCAM region containing entries which mask in both the port and VLAN tag portions of the flow label.
PorV is a TCAM region containing entries which mask in either the port or VLAN tag portion of the flow label, but not both.
A balance of 1 allocates the minimum number of PandV region entries and the maximum number of PorV region entries. A balance of 99 allocates the maximum number of PandV region entries and the minimum number of PorV region entries. A balance of 50 allocates equal numbers of PandV and PorV region entries in the specified TCAM.
Balances for the four TCAMs can be modified independently.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the MAC notification trap when a MAC address is added to a port:
Switch# configure terminalSwitch(config)# access-list hardware region feature input balance 75Switch(config)#action
To specify an action to be taken when a match occurs in a VACL, use the action command. To remove an action clause, use the no form of this command.
action {drop | forward}
no action {drop | forward}
Syntax Description
drop
Sets the action to drop packets.
forward
Sets the action to forward packets to their destination.
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Modes
VLAN access-map
Command History
12.1(12c)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
In a VLAN access map, if at least one ACL is configured for a packet type (IP or MAC), the default action for the packet type is drop (deny).
If an ACL is not configured for a packet type, the default action for the packet type is forward (permit).
If an ACL for a packet type is configured and the ACL is empty or undefined, the configured action will be applied to the packet type.
Examples
This example shows how to define a drop action:
Switch(config-access-map)# action dropSwitch(config-access-map)#This example shows how to define a forward action:
Switch(config-access-map)# action forwardSwitch(config-access-map)#Syntax Description
apply
To implement a new VLAN database, increment the configuration number, save the configuration number in NVRAM, and propagate the configuration number throughout the administrative domain, use the apply command.
apply
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Modes
VLAN configuration mode
Command History
12.1(8a)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
The apply command implements the configuration changes that you made after you entered VLAN database mode and uses them for the running configuration. This command keeps you in VLAN database mode.
You cannot use this command when the switch is in the VTP client mode.
You can verify that the VLAN database changes occurred by entering the show vlan command from privileged EXEC mode.
Examples
This example shows how to implement the proposed new VLAN database and to recognize it as the current database:
Switch(config-vlan)# applySwitch(config-vlan)#Related Commands
arp access-list
To define an ARP access list or add clauses at the end of a predefined list, use the arp access-list command.

Syntax Description
Defaults
None
Command Modes
Configuration
Command History
12.1(19)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Examples
This example shows how to define an ARP access list named static-hosts:
Switch(config)# arp access-list static-hostsSwitch(config)#Related Commands
attach module
To remotely connect to a specific module, use the attach module configuration command.
attach module mod
Syntax Description
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Modes
Privileged
Command History
12.1(19)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
This command applies only to the Access Gateway Module on Catalyst 4500 series switches.
The valid values for mod depend on the chassis that are used. For example, if you have a Catalyst 4506 chassis, valid values for the module are from 2 to 6. If you have a 4507R chassis, valid values are from 3 to 7.
When you execute the attach module mod command, the prompt changes to Gateway#.
This command is identical in the resulting action to the session module mod and the remote login module mod commands.
Examples
This example shows how to remotely log in to an Access Gateway Module:
Switch# attach module 5Attaching console to module 5Type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the sessionGateway>Related Commands
Remotely connects to a specific module.
Logs in to the standby supervisor engine using a virtual console.
auto qos voip
To automatically configure quality of service (auto-QoS) for Voice over IP (VoIP) within a QoS domain, use the auto qos voip interface configuration command. To change the auto-QoS configuration settings to the standard QoS defaults, use the no form of this command.
auto qos voip {cisco-phone | trust}
no auto qos voip {cisco-phone | trust}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Auto-QoS is disabled on all interfaces.
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Command History
12.1(19)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the QoS that is appropriate for VoIP traffic within the QoS domain. The QoS domain includes the switch, the interior of the network, and the edge devices that can classify incoming traffic for QoS.
Use the cisco-phone keyword on the ports at the edge of the network that are connected to Cisco IP phones. The switch detects the telephone through the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and trusts the CoS labels in packets that are received from the telephone.
Use the trust keyword on the ports that are connected to the interior of the network. Because it is assumed that the traffic has already been classified by the other edge devices, the CoS/DSCP labels in these packets are trusted.
When you enable the auto-QoS feature on the specified interface, these actions automatically occur:
•
•
•
•
You can enable auto-QoS on static, dynamic-access, voice VLAN access, and trunk ports.
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.
To disable auto-QoS on an interface, use the no auto qos voip interface configuration command. When you enter this command, the switch enables standard QoS and changes the auto-QoS settings to the standard QoS default settings for that interface. This action will not change any global configuration performed by auto-QoS; the global configuration remains the same.
Examples
This example shows how to enable auto-QoS and to trust the CoS and DSCP labels that are received in the incoming packets when the switch or router that is connected to Gigabit Ethernet interface 1/1 is a trusted device:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/1Switch(config-if)# auto qos voip trustThis example shows how to enable auto-QoS and to trust the CoS labels that are received in incoming packets when the device connected to Fast Ethernet interface 2/1 is detected as a Cisco IP phone:
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet2/1Switch(config-if)# auto qos voip cisco-phoneThis example shows how to display the QoS configuration that is automatically generated when auto-QoS is enabled on an interface on Supervisor Engines other than a Supervisor Engine 6-E:

auto-sync
To enable automatic synchronization of the configuration files in NVRAM, use the auto-sync command. To disable automatic synchronization, use the no form of this command.
auto-sync {startup-config | config-register | bootvar | standard}
no auto-sync {startup-config | config-register | bootvar | standard}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Standard automatic synchronization of all configuration files
Command Modes
Redundancy main-cpu
Command History
12.1(12c)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch (Catalyst 4507R only).
Usage Guidelines
If you enter the no auto-sync standard command, no automatic synchronizations occur.
Examples
This example shows how (from the default configuration) to enable automatic synchronization of the configuration register in the main CPU:

bandwidth
To specify or modify the minimum bandwidth provided to a class belonging to a policy map attached to a physical port, use the bandwidth policy-map class command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
bandwidth {bandwidth-kbps | percent percent | remaining percent percent}
no bandwidth
Syntax Description
Defaults
No bandwidth is specified.
Command Modes
Policy-map class configuration
Command History
12.2(40)SG
This command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch using a Supervisor Engine 6E.
Usage Guidelines
Use the bandwidth command only in a policy map attached to a physical port.
The bandwidth command specifies the minimum bandwidth for traffic in that class when there is traffic congestion in the switch. If the switch is not congested, the class receives more bandwidth than you specify with this command.
When queuing class is configured without any explicit bandwidth configuration, since the queue is not guaranteed any minimum bandwidth, this queue will get a share of any unallocated bandwidth on the port.
If there is no unallocated bandwidth for the new queue or if the unallocated bandwidth is not sufficient to meet the minimum configurable rate for all queues which do not have any explicit bandwidth configuration, then the policy association is rejected.
These restrictions apply to the bandwidth command:
•
•
•
Examples
This example shows how to set the minimum bandwidth to 2000 kbps for a class called silver-class. The class already exists in the switch configuration.

channel-group
To assign and configure an EtherChannel interface to an EtherChannel group, use the channel-group command. To remove a channel group configuration from an interface, use the no form of this command.
channel-group number mode {active | on | auto [non-silent]} | {passive | desirable [non-silent]}
no channel-group
Syntax Description
Defaults
No channel groups are assigned.
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Command History
12.1(8a)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(13)EW
Support for LACP was added.
Usage Guidelines
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. If a port-channel interface has not been created, it is automatically created when the first physical interface for the channel group is created.
If a specific channel number is used for the PAgP-enabled interfaces of a channel group, that same channel number cannot be used for configuring a channel that has LACP-enabled interfaces or vice versa.
You can also create port channels by entering the interface port-channel command. This will create a Layer 3 port channel. To change the Layer 3 port channel into a Layer 2 port channel, use the switchport command before you assign physical interfaces to the channel group. A port channel cannot be changed from Layer 3 to Layer 2 or vice versa when it contains member ports.
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical interface that is part of a channel group, but we recommend that you do so.
Any configuration or attribute changes that you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel, but are part of the channel group).
You can create in on mode a usable EtherChannel by connecting two port groups together.
Caution
Examples
This example shows how to add Gigabit Ethernet interface 1/1 to the EtherChannel group that is specified by port-channel 45:

channel-protocol
To enable LACP or PAgP on an interface, use the channel-protocol command. To disable the protocols, use the no form of this command.
channel-protocol {lacp | pagp}
no channel-protocol {lacp | pagp}
Syntax Description
Defaults
PAgP
Command Modes
Interface configuration mode
Command History
12.1(13)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switches.
Usage Guidelines
This command is not supported on systems that are configured with a Supervisor Engine I.
You can also select the protocol using the channel-group command.
If the interface belongs to a channel, the no form of this command is rejected.
All ports in an EtherChannel must use the same protocol; you cannot run two protocols on one module.
PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.
You can manually configure a switch with PAgP on one side and LACP on the other side in the on mode.
You can change the protocol at any time, but this change causes all existing EtherChannels to reset to the default channel mode for the new protocol. You can use the channel-protocol command to restrict anyone from selecting a mode that is not applicable to the selected protocol.
Configure all ports in an EtherChannel to operate at the same speed and duplex mode (full duplex only for LACP mode).
For a complete list of guidelines, refer to the "Configuring EtherChannel" section of the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.

Before using the class command, you must create a class map for matching packets to the class by using the class-map global configuration command. You also 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 traffic policy for new classes or modify a traffic policy for any existing classes in that policy map. The class name that you specify with the class command in the policy map ties the characteristics for that class—that is, its policy—to the class map and its match criteria, as configured through the class-map global configuration command. You attach the policy map to a port by using the service-policy (interface configuration) configuration command.
After you enter the class command, the switch enters policy-map class configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The switch supports up to 256 classes, including the default class, in a policy map. Packets that fail to meet any of the matching criteria are classified as members of the default traffic class. You configure the default traffic class by specifying class-default as the class name in the class policy-map class configuration command. You can manipulate the default traffic class (for example, set policies to police or to shape it) just like any other traffic class, but you cannot delete it.
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 create a policy map called policy1. When attached to an ingress port, the policy matches all the inbound traffic defined in class1, sets the IP DSCP to 10, and polices the traffic at an average rate of 1 Mbps and bursts of 20 KB. Traffic exceeding the profile is marked down to a Traffic exceeding the profile is marked down to a DSCP value obtained from the policed-DSCP map and then sent.

Command History
12.1(8a)EW
Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switches.
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. Packets are checked against the match criteria configured for a class map to decide if the packet belongs to that class. If a packet matches the specified criteria, the packet is considered a member of the class and is forwarded according to the quality of service (QoS) specifications set in the traffic policy.
After you enter the class-map command, the switch enters class-map configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:
•
•
•
•
Examples
This example shows how to configure the class map called class1 with one match criterion, which is an access list called 103:
