Usage Guidelines

In Catalyst 5000, 2926G, and 2926 series software release 4.1(1) and later, and Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series software release 4.4 and later, if you use the set system name command to assign a name to the switch, the switch name is used as the prompt string. However, if you specify a different prompt string using the set prompt command, that string is used for the prompt. If no name is specified, the system name is cleared

In Catalyst 5000, 2926G, and 2926 series software release 4.1(1) and later, if you do not specify a system name, the system name is cleared, and a DNS lookup is initiated for a system name. If a name is found, that is the name used; if no name is found, no name is designated.

The system name can be 255 characters long, and the prompt can be 20 characters long. The system name is truncated appropriately when used as a prompt; a greater-than symbol (>) is appended to the truncated system name. If the system name was found from a DNS lookup, it is truncated to remove the domain name. If the prompt is obtained using the system name, it is updated whenever the system name changes. You can overwrite this prompt any time by setting the prompt manually. Any change in the prompt is reflected in all current open sessions.

Example

This example shows how to set the system name to Information Systems:

Console> (enable) set system name Information Systems

System name set.

Console> (enable)

set tacacs directedrequest

Use the set tacacs directedrequest command to enable or disable the TACACS+ directed-request option. When enabled, you can direct a request to any of the configured TACACS+ servers and only the username is sent to the specified server.

set tacacs directedrequest {enable | disable}

Syntax Description

enable	Keyword to send the portion of the address before the @ sign (the username) to the host specified after the @ sign.
disable	Keyword to send the entire address string to the default TACACS+ server.

Default

This default configuration has the TACACS+ directed-request option disabled.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

When tacacs directedrequest is enabled, you must specify a configured TACACS+ server after the @ sign. If the specified host name does not match the IP address of a configured TACACS+ server, the request is rejected. When tacacs directedrequest is disabled, the Catalyst 5000, 4000, 2948G, 2926G, and 2926 series switch queries the list of servers beginning with the first server in the list and then sends the entire string, accepting the first response from the server. This command is useful for sites that have developed their own TACACS+ server software to parse the entire address string and make decisions based on the contents of the string.

Example

This example shows how to enable the tacacs directedrequest option:

Console> (enable) set tacacs directedrequest enable

Tacacs direct request has been enabled.

Console> (enable) 

Related Command

show tacacs

set tacacs key

Default

The default value of key is null.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

The key must be the same as the key used on the TACACS+ server. All leading spaces are ignored. Spaces within the key and at the end of the key are included. Double quotation marks are not required, even if there are spaces between words in the key, unless the quotation marks themselves are part of the key. The key can consist of any printable ASCII characters except the tab character.

Example

This example shows how to set the authentication and encryption key:

Console> (enable) set tacacs key Who Goes There

The tacacs key has been set to Who Goes There.

Console> (enable)

Default

There is no default setting for this command.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

You can configure a maximum of three servers. The primary server, if configured, is contacted first. If no primary server is configured, the first server configured becomes the primary server.

Example

This example shows how to configure the server on which the TACACS+ server resides and to designate it as the primary server:

Console> (enable) set tacacs server 170.1.2.20 primary

170.1.2.20 added to TACACS server table as primary server.

Console> (enable) 

Related Commands

set trunk mod_num/port_num [on | off | desirable | auto | nonegotiate] [vlan_range] [isl | dot1q | dot10 | lane | negotiate]

Syntax Description

mod_num	Number of the module.
port_num	Number of the port on the module.
on	(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a trunk port and persuade the neighboring port to become a trunk port. The port becomes a trunk port even if the neighbor port does not agree to become a trunk. This is the only possible mode for ATM ports.
off	(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a nontrunk port and persuade the neighboring port to become a nontrunk port. The port becomes a nontrunk port even if the neighbor port does not agree to become a nontrunk port. This is the default mode for FDDI trunks. This option is not allowed for ATM ports.
desirable	(Optional) Keyword to cause the port to negotiate actively with the neighbor port to become a trunk link. This mode is not allowed on FDDI and ATM ports.
auto	(Optional) Keyword to cause the port to become a trunk port if the neighboring port tries to negotiate a trunk link. This mode is not allowed on FDDI and ATM ports. This is the default mode for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports.
nonegotiate	(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a trunk port but prevent it from sending DTP frames to its neighbor. This mode is only allowed on ISL and IEEE 802.1Q trunks.
vlan_range	(Optional) VLANs to add to the list of allowed VLANs on the trunk. The VLAN range is 1 to 1005.
isl	(Optional) Keyword to specify an ISL trunk on an Ethernet port. If no trunk type keyword is specified when configuring an Ethernet trunk, ISL is used as the default.
dot1q	(Optional) Keyword to specify an IEEE 802.1Q trunk on an Ethernet port. IEEE 802.1Q trunks are supported in Catalyst 5000, 2926G, and 2926 series software release 4.1(1) and later with 802.1Q-capable hardware. Automatic negotiation of 802.1Q trunks is supported in software release 4.2(1) and later. In software release 4.1, you must use the nonegotiate mode with 802.1Q trunks.
dot10	(Optional) Keyword to specify an IEEE 802.10 trunk on a FDDI or CDDI port.
lane	(Optional) Keyword to specify an ATM LANE trunk on an ATM port.
negotiate	(Optional) Keyword to specify that the port become an ISL (preferred) or 802.1Q trunk, depending on the configuration and capabilities of the neighboring port.

Default

All ports except ATM LANE ports are nontrunk ports by default. ATM LANE and RSM ports are always configured as trunk ports.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

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.

Trunking capabilities are hardware dependent. Refer to the Module Installation Guide for your switch to determine the trunking capabilities of your hardware, or enter the show port capabilities command.

The Catalyst 5000, 4000, 2948G, 2926G, and 2926 series switches use the DTP (formerly known as DISL) to negotiate trunk links automatically on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports. Whether a port will negotiate to become a trunk port depends on both the mode and the trunk type specified for that port. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide for your switch for detailed information on how trunk ports are negotiated.

DTP is a point-to-point protocol. However, some internetworking devices might improperly forward DTP frames. You can avoid this problem by ensuring that trunking is turned off on ports connected to non-Catalyst 5000, 4000, 2948G, 2926G, and 2926 series devices if you do not intend to trunk across those links. When enabling trunking on a link to a Cisco router, enter the nonegotiate keyword to cause the port to become a trunk but not generate DTP frames. The nonegotiate keyword is available in Catalyst 5000, 4000, 2948G, 2926G, and 2926 series software release 2.4(3) and later.

For trunking to be negotiated on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the ports must be in the same VTP domain. However, you can use the on mode to force a port to become a trunk, even if it is in a different domain.

To remove VLANs from the allowed list for a trunk, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command. When you first configure a port as a trunk, the set trunk command always adds all VLANs to the allowed VLAN list for the trunk, even if you specify a VLAN range (the specified VLAN range is ignored).

To remove VLANs from the allowed list, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command. To later add VLANs that were removed, enter the set trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command.

You cannot change the allowed VLAN range on the RSM port.

The RSM port can be configured only as an IEEE 802.1Q-type trunk.

The dot1q trunk type is the only trunk type supported by the Catalyst 4000 and 2948G series switches.

To return a trunk to its default trunk type and mode, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num command.

If you enter the set trunk command on a Token Ring port, you receive a message indicating that the port is "not a trunk-capable port."

Examples

This example shows how to set port 2 on module 1 as a trunk port:

Console> (enable) set trunk 1/2 on

Port(s) 1/2 trunk mode set to on.

Console> (enable)

This example shows how to add VLANs 5 through 50 to the allowed VLAN list for a trunk port (VLANs were previously removed from the allowed list with the clear trunk command):

Console> (enable) set trunk 1/1 5-50

Adding vlans 5-50 to allowed list.

Port(s) 1/1 allowed vlans modified to 1,5-50,101-1005.
