Password changed.

Console> (enable)

set port broadcast

Use the set port broadcast command to set the broadcast/multicast suppression for one or more ports. The broadcast threshold limits the backplane traffic received from the module.

set port broadcast mod_num/port_num threshold[%]

Syntax Description

mod _num	Number of the module.
port_num	Number of the port.
threshold	Number of packets-per-second of broadcast/multicast traffic allowed on the port or the percentage of total available bandwidth that can be used by broadcast/multicast traffic. Valid values are: 0 to 150000 packets per second or 0 to 100 percent. 0 pps or 100% unlimits broadcast traffic.
%	(Optional) Keyword used if threshold is expressed as a percentage of total available bandwidth that can be used by broadcast/multicast traffic.

Default

The default value for the threshold is 100 percent.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

The following Catalyst 5000, 2926G, and 2926 series switching modules support hardware broadcast/multicast suppression: Ethernet switching module (10BaseT 48 port, Telco), part number WS-X5012; and group switching Fast Ethernet module (100BaseTX 24 Port), part number WS-X5223.

Software broadcast/multicast suppression is supported in all Ethernet line modules that support hardware broadcast/multicast suppression, except the Ethernet switching module (10BaseT 48 port, Telco, WS-X5012). For more information on the broadcast/multicast suppression feature, see the Software Configuration Guide for your switch.

Although bandwidth-based broadcast/multicast suppression applies to all ports on a module, you must still specify a port number according to the syntax rules of the set port broadcast mod_num/port_num threshold [%] command. For example, if you specify port 3 on module 4 (4/3), broadcast/multicast suppression is applied to every port on module 4. You can specify any port number between 1 and 24.

Only the Ethernet switching module (10BaseT 48 port, Telco, WS-X5012) supports bandwidth-based broadcast/multicast suppression on a per-port basis.

This command is not supported by the RSM.

On a Token Ring module, uplink ports connect to different switching buses, so the software/firmware knows which SAMBA to set. This is different from other modules with SAMBA, where set applies to all ports, and the SAMBA of switching bus A (to which SAGE inband link is connected) cannot be set for broadcast suppression.

The packets-per-second option is not supported by the 1000BaseX switching module.

Examples

This example shows how to limit broadcast traffic to 500 packets per second on ports 2/1 through 3/24:

Console> (enable) set port broadcast 2/1-3/24 500

Ports 2/1-3/24 broadcast traffic limited to 500 packets.

Console> (enable) 

This example shows how to limit broadcast traffic to 20 percent to all ports on module 4 (see "Usage Guidelines" for more information):

Console> (enable) set port broadcast 4/3 20%

Port 4/1-24 broadcast traffic limited to 20%.

Console> (enable) 

This example shows how to allow unlimited broadcast traffic to all ports on module 4 (see "Usage Guidelines" for more information):

Console> (enable) set port broadcast 4/3 100%

Port 4/1-24 broadcast traffic unlimited.

Console> (enable)

set port channel

Use the set port channel command to configure EtherChannel on Ethernet module ports.

set port channel mod/ports... [on | off | desirable | auto] [silent | nonsilent]

Syntax Description

mod/ports...	Module and port(s) to bundle.
on	(Optional) Keyword to enable and force EtherChannel for the specified module ports.
off	(Optional) Keyword to disable EtherChannel for the specified module ports.
desirable	(Optional) Keyword to set EtherChannel mode to desirable for the specified module ports. In desirable mode, all received PAgP packets are transmitted.
auto	(Optional) Keyword to set EtherChannel mode to desirable for the specified module ports. In auto mode, all received PAgP packets are transmitted.
silent	(Optional) Keyword to indicate that the specified module ports be posted to STP even if the partner has not sent out any packets.
nonsilent	(Optional) Keyword to indicate that the specified module ports not be posted to STP if the partner has not sent out any packets.

Default

The default system configuration has EtherChannel set to auto and silent on all module ports.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Make sure that all ports in the channel are configured with the same port speed, duplex mode, and so forth. For more information on EtherChannel, refer to the "Configuring Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Switching Modules" chapter in the Software Configuration Guide for your switch.

Disable the port security feature on the channeled ports (see the set port security command). If you enable port security for a channeled port, the port shuts down when it receives packets with source addresses that do not match the secure address of the port.

If you do not enter the mod/ports.., all ports are addressed.

If you do not enter the channel mode, the channel mode of the ports addressed are not modified.

The silent | nonsilent parameters only apply if desirable or auto modes are entered.

This command is not supported by the RSM.

This command is not supported by the three-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X5403).

On the 1000Base-X switching module (WS-X5410), only ports 1 through 4 and 5 through 8 can be channeled. Port 9 cannot be channeled to other ports.

On the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches, port channel group restrictions apply for each module. The following ports can be channeled:

•6-port GBIC module (WS-X4306) - 1-2, 3-6

•10/100 BaseT module (WS-X4232) - 1-2, 3-6, 7-10, ... 31-34

•10/100 BaseT module (WS-X4148) - 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, ..., 45-48

•18-port Gigabit module (WS-X4418) - 1-2, 3-6, 7-10, 11-14, 15-18

•Catalyst 2948G 4 x 12 + 2 (Catalyst 2948G) - 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, ..., 45-48, 49-50

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Protocol filtering is supported only on nontrunking Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet ports. Trunking ports are always members of all the protocol groups.

If the port configuration is set to auto, the port initially does not receive any flood packets for that protocol. When the corresponding protocol packets are received on that port, the supervisor engine detects this and adds the port to the protocol group.

Ports configured as auto are removed from the protocol group if no packets are received for that protocol within a certain period of time. This aging time is set to 60 minutes. They are also removed from the protocol group on detection of a link down.

Protocol filtering is supported on MLS-based Catalyst 5000, 2926G, and 2926 series switches and Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

VINES protocol is not supported by the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

set port speed

Use the set port speed command to configure the speed of a port interface. You can configure the speed of an Ethernet interface.

set port speed mod_num/port_num {4 | 10 | 16 | 100 | auto}

Syntax Description

mod_num	Number of the module.
port_num	Number of the port on the module.
4 | 10 | 16 | 100 | auto	Keyword to set a port speed to 4, 10, 16, 100 Mbps, or autospeed detection mode.

Default

The default configuration has all module ports set to auto.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure Ethernet interfaces on the 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switching modules to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, or to autosensing mode, allowing them to sense and distinguish between 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps port transmission speeds and full-duplex or half-duplex port transmission types at a remote port connection. If you set the interfaces to autosensing mode, they configure themselves automatically to operate at the proper speed and transmission type.

You can configure Token Ring interfaces on the Token Ring module to either 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps, or to autospeed detection mode, allowing them to sense and distinguish between 4-Mbps and 16-Mbps port transmission speed. If you set the interfaces to autospeed detection mode, they automatically configure themselves to operate at the proper speed.

If you change the transmission speed of a port that is open to 4 or 16 Mbps, the port will close and reopen at the new transmission speed. If a port closes and reopens on an existing ring using a transmission speed different from that which the ring is operating, the ring will beacon.

If you set the port speed to auto, duplex mode is automatically set to auto.

The 4 and 16 port-speed options are not supported by the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

If the ports on the Token Ring module are configured to detect the speed of the ring automatically, the first port inserted on the ring does not set the speed, because it is unable to detect the speed.

This command is not supported by the Gigabit Ethernet switching modules; port speed is factory set to 1000.

The Catalyst 2948G is a fixed configuration switch. All ports are located on module 2; for this reason, if you enter 1/N for the module/port number, an error message is displayed.

Examples

This example shows how to configure port 1 on module 2 to auto:

Console> (enable) set port speed 2/1 auto

Port 2/1 speed set to auto-sensing mode.

Console> (enable)

This example shows how to configure port 2 on module 2 port speed to 10 Mbps:

Console> (enable) set port speed 2/2 10

set port trap

Use the set port trap command to enable or disable the operation of the standard SNMP link trap (up or down) for a port or range of ports.

set port trap mod_num/port_num {enable | disable}

Syntax Description

mod_num	Number of the module.
port_num	Number of the port.
enable	Keyword to activate the SNMP link trap.
disable	Keyword to deactivate the SNMP link trap.

Default

The default configuration has all port traps disabled.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

The Catalyst 2948G is a fixed configuration switch. All ports are located on module 2; for this reason, if you enter 1/N for the module/port number, an error message is displayed.

Example

This example shows how to enable the SNMP link trap for module 1, port 2:

Console> (enable) set port trap 1/2 enable

Port 1/2 up/down trap enabled.

Console> (enable)
