set qos mac-cos
Use the set qos mac-cos command to map a CoS value to a MAC address and VLAN pair.
set qos mac-cos dest_mac vlan cos
Syntax Description
dest_mac
|
MAC address of the destination host.
|
vlan
|
Number of the VLAN; valid values are from 1 to 1001.
|
cos
|
CoS value; valid values are from 0 to 7, with the higher numbers representing higher priority.
|
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on Supervisor Engine II G or III G, or Supervisor Engine III.
The set qos mac-cos command creates a permanent CAM entry that remains in the CAM table until the active supervisor is reset.
The port associated with the MAC address is learned when the first packet with this source MAC address is received. These entries are not aged out.
If you enter the show cam command, entries made with the set qos mac-cos command are displayed as dynamic. Entries made using the set qos mac-cos command do not age out.
Examples
This example shows how to map a CoS value to a MAC address and VLAN:
Console> (enable) set qos mac-cos 0f-ab-12-12-00-13 2 3
CoS 3 is assigned to 0f-ab-12-12-00-13 vlan 2.

set qos map
Use the set qos map command to associate CoS values to a transmit queue and drop threshold.
set qos map port_type q# threshold# cos coslist
Syntax Description
port_type
|
1q4t is the only valid port type.
|
q#
|
Transmit queue number.
|
threshold#
|
Drop threshold number. The higher the threshold number, the lower the chance traffic will be dropped.
|
cos coslist
|
Keyword and variable to specify the CoS values; valid values are from 0 to 7, with the higher numbers indicating higher priority.
|
Defaults
The default mappings are:
•
CoS value-to-drop threshold mapping
–
Drop threshold 1: CoS 0-1
–
Drop threshold 2: CoS 2-3
–
Drop threshold 3: CoS 4-5
–
Drop threshold 4: CoS 6-7
•
CoS value-to-transmit queue mapping
–
Transmit queue 1: CoS 0-7
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported on switches configured with Supervisor Engine II G or III G or Supervisor Engine III.
Only port type 1q4t is supported, which consists of one transmit queue and four drop thresholds.
Examples
This example shows how to assign the CoS values 1 and 2 to the first transmit queue and the first drop threshold for that queue on a 1q4t port (Catalyst 5000 family switches):
Console> (enable) set qos map 1q4t tx 1 1 cos 1-2
Qos tx priority queue and threshold mapped to cos successfully.
This example shows how to assign the CoS values 4 through 7 to the first transmit queue and the second drop threshold for that queue on a 1q4t port (Catalyst 5000 family switches):
Console> (enable) set qos map 1q4t tx 1 2 cos 4-7

set qos policy-source
Use the set qos policy-source command to set the QoS policy source.
set qos policy-source local | cops
Syntax Description
local
|
Keyword to set the policy source to local NVRAM configuration.
|
cops
|
Keyword to set the policy source to COPS configuration.
|
Defaults
The default is all ports are set to local.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
When you set the policy source to local, the QoS policy is taken from local configuration stored in NVRAM. If you set the policy source to local after it was set to COPS, the QoS policy reverts back to the local configuration stored in NVRAM.
When you set the policy source to COPS, all configuration that is global to the device, such as the DSCP to marked-down DSCP, is taken from policy downloaded to the PEP by the PDP. Configuration of each physical port, however, is taken from COPS only if the policy source for that port has been set to COPS.
Examples
This example shows how to set the policy source to COPS:
Console> (enable) set qos policy-source cops
QoS policy source for the switch set to COPS.
This example shows how to set the policy source to local NVRAM:
Console> (enable) set qos policy-source local
QoS policy source for the switch set to local.
This example shows the output if you attempt to set the policy source to COPS and none are available:
Console> (enable) set qos policy-source cops
QoS policy source for the switch set to COPS.
Warning: No COPS servers configured. Use the `set cops server' command
to configure COPS servers.

set qos router-mac
Use the set qos router-mac command to specify router MAC addresses for ACE-based classification.
set qos router-mac mac_address vlan
Syntax Description
mac_address
|
MAC address contained in the packets to be filtered. You can enter this address in canonical format (00-11-33-44-55) or noncanonical format (00:11:22:33:44:55).
|
vlan
|
Number of the VLAN; valid values are from 1 to 1005.
|
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on Supervisor Engine II G or III G, or Supervisor Engine III.
This command is not supported by the MLS-RP.
Use this command to specify the MAC address of a router for which to perform ACE-based classification. For IPv4 traffic destined for a router, QoS can classify packets that match an ACE by setting the IP precedence bits (in the IP TOS header) and CoS value in the frame header.
If you are using MLS, QoS can perform ACE-based classification only for traffic that is switched using MLS. ACE-based classification is performed at the switch egress port as the flow is being multilayer switched. QoS cannot perform ACE-based classification on traffic that the MLS-RP routes off the switch. QoS learns the address of the MLS-RP automatically when MLS is configured on the switch.
Examples
This example shows how to set the router MAC address on a specific VLAN:
Console> (enable) set qos router-mac 00-40-0b-30-03-48 2
Router MAC/Vlan is set for QoS.

|
(Optional) Keyword to specify input queuing. This keyword is not supported.
|
tx
|
(Optional) Keyword to specify output queuing.
|
queue
|
Keyword to specify the queue value.
|
q#
|
Number of queue. The only valid value is 1.
|
thr#
|
Value of threshold; valid values are from 1 to 100 percent.
|
Defaults
The defaults are output queuing and the threshold values are 30%, 50%, 80%, and 100%.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on Supervisor Engine II G or III G, or Supervisor Engine III.
The number preceding the t letter in the port_type (1q4t) determines the number of threshold values the hardware supports. For example, with 1q4t, the number of thresholds specified is four.
The number preceding the q letter in the port_type determines the number of the queues that the hardware supports. For example, with 1q4t, the number of queues specified is one.
The transmit drop threshold percentages specified select a buffer usage level where each threshold applies.
The percentages to buffer usage level are as follows:
•
1% is a threshold when 2,044 bytes of the transmit queue buffer have been used
•
2% and 3% = 4,092 bytes have been used
•
4% through 7% = 8,188 bytes have been used
•
8% through 14% = 16,380 bytes have been used
•
15% through 28% = 32,767 bytes have been used
•
29% through 57% = 65,532 bytes have been used
•
58% through 100% = 131,068 bytes have been used
Due to the granularity of programming the hardware, the values set in hardware will be close approximations of the values provided.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the transmit queue drop thresholds:
Console> (enable) set qos wred-threshold 1q4t tx queue 1 30 50 80 100
Transmit drop thresholds for queue 1 set at 30% 50% 80% 100%

The RMON feature deinstalls the domains for all of the interfaces on an Ethernet module that has been removed from the system.
RMON is supported on Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Token Ring switch ports.
When RMON is enabled, the supported RMON groups for Ethernet ports are Statistics, History, Alarms, and Events, as specified in RFC 1757. When RMON is enabled, the supported RMON groups for Token Ring ports are Mac-Layer Statistics, Promiscuous Statistics, Mac-Layer History, Promiscuous History, Ring Station Order Table, Alarms, and Events, as specified in RFC 1513 and RFC 1757.
Note
You need a separate software license to use this command. Contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center for additional information.
Examples
This example shows how to enable RMON support:
Console> (enable) set snmp rmon enable
SNMP RMON support enabled.
This example shows how to disable RMON support:
Console> (enable) set snmp rmon disable
SNMP RMON support disabled.
Related Commands
show snmp
set snmp rmonmemory
Use the set snmp rmonmemory command to set the memory usage limit in a percentage value format.
set snmp rmonmemory percentage
Syntax Description
percentage
|
Memory usage limit: valid values are 0 to 100 percent. See the "Usage Guidelines" section for additional information.
|
Defaults
The default is 85 percent.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
When you set the percentage value to 85, the RMON is not using 85 percent of memory; this value does not allow you to create new RMON entries or restore entries from the NVRAM if the memory usage exceeds 85 percent.
If you expect the device to run other sessions such as Telnet, you need to set a lower value to the memory limit. Otherwise, the new Telnet sessions may fail because there is not enough available memory.
Examples
This example shows how to set the memory usage limit:
Console> (enable) set snmp rmonmemory 90

learning is enabled.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
When configuring the SPAN session, follow these guidelines:
•
You can configure multiple SPAN sessions to run at the same time. One ingress SPAN session (RX or Both direction) and four egress SPAN sessions (TX direction only) can be configured.
•
For monitoring inbound traffic, only one ingress session (or both direction) SPAN is allowed regardless of the port-based SPAN. An egress SPAN can coexist with other SPAN sessions.
When configuring the source or destination ports, follow these guidelines:
•
A trunk port can be configured as a source or destination port. If the destination port is a trunk port, the outgoing packets through the SPAN port will carry ISL or 802.1Q VLAN headers.
•
Source and destination ports cannot be the same port.
•
A FDDI port can be a source or destination port.
•
The Token Ring port can be a source or destination port. When monitoring the Tx direction on a Token Ring module, only one source port is allowed.
•
You can configure a disabled port to be a source or destination port, but the SPAN function will not work until you enable SPAN on both ports.
•
You can configure additional SPAN ports which monitor VLANs only. These ports support a source of one or more VLANs and require the destination port to be a trunk-capable port. This port will filter all traffic except traffic from the configured VLAN for that port.
•
You can specify an RSM port as the SPAN source port. However, you cannot specify an RSM port as the SPAN destination port. The source and destination ports have to be within the module.
•
If you are configuring SPAN on the Catalyst 5000 family Gigabit EtherChannel switching module, the source and destination ports must be on the same module. This restriction does not apply to the three-port Gigabit Ethernet module (WS-X5403).
If SPAN is enabled:
•
And you change the VLAN configuration of the SPAN port (destination), you must disable SPAN before the new configuration will be in effect.
•
And you disable a source or destination port, the SPAN function will not work until you enable SPAN on both ports.
•
For monitoring a particular VLAN, the number of ports being monitored changes when you move a switched port into or out of the specified monitored VLAN.
•
And no parameters were ever set, the first configured SPAN is used as a reference.
When entering keywords, use these guidelines:
•
Use the inpkts keyword with the enable option to allow the SPAN destination port to receive normal incoming traffic in addition to the traffic mirrored from the SPAN source. Use the disable option to prevent the SPAN destination port from receiving normal incoming traffic.
•
The keyword learning is dependent on the inpkts option. If the inpkts option is disabled, learning will not take effect. The inpkts option must be set to enable to use learning.
•
When the keyword learning is enabled, the dont_learn control bit is disabled, allowing the system to learn a packet's source address. When learning is disabled, the packet is forwarded to its destination as usual.
•
If you are configuring the Gigabit EtherChannel switching module VLAN, only the both argument is allowed, you cannot specify tx or rx.
•
The Token Ring module does not support the inpkts option.
A Token Ring port can only monitor another Token Ring port.
If you are running a supervisor engine software release prior to release 4.5(1), we recommend that you configure only a single source port to be monitored. With the supervisor engine software release 4.5(1) and later, a single source port will be the standard Token Ring SPAN configuration.
You cannot monitor a VLAN to which none of the ports belong.
Use either a dedicated RMON probe (such as the NAM) or a network analyzer to monitor ports.
Examples
This example shows how to configure SPAN so that both the transmit traffic and receive traffic on the source port (1/1) is mirrored to the destination port (2/1), and how to verify SPAN configuration:
Console> (enable) set span 1/1 2/1
Enabled monitoring of Port 1/1 transmit/receive traffic by Port 2/1
Console> (enable) show span
Direction : transmit/receive
Incoming Packets: disabled
This example shows how to set VLAN 522 as the SPAN source and port 2/1 as the SPAN destination:
Console> (enable) set span 522 2/1
Enabled monitoring of VLAN 522 transmit/receive traffic by Port 2/1
Console> (enable) show span
Direction : transmit/receive
Incoming Packets: disabled
This example shows how to enable learning on the SPAN source and port 1/1:
Console> (enable) set span 522 1/1 learning enable
Overwrote Port 1/1 to monitor transmit/receive traffic of VLAN 522
Incoming Packets disabled. Learning enabled. Multicast enabled.
This example shows how to disable learning on the SPAN source and port 1/1:
Console> (enable) set span 522 1/1 learning disable
Overwrote Port 1/1 to monitor transmit/receive traffic of VLAN 522
Incoming Packets disabled. Learning disabled. Multicast enabled.

Usage Guidelines
You can use this command to help troubleshooting slow network convergence due to skewing. Skewing occurs when spanning tree timers lapse and expected BPDUs are not received and spanning tree detects topology changes. The difference between the expected result and the BPDUs actually received is a "skew." The skew causes BPDUs to be reflooded onto the network to keep the spanning tree topology database up-to-date.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the BPDU skew detection feature:
Console> (enable) set spantree bpdu-skewing enable
Spantree bpdu-skewing enabled on this switch.
This example shows how to disable the BPDU skew detection feature:

set spantree guard
Use the set spantree guard command to enable or disable the spanning tree root guard or loop guard feature on a per-port basis.
set spantree guard {none | root | loop} mod/port
Syntax Description
none
|
Keyword to disable the spanning tree guard feature.
|
root
|
Keyword to enable the root guard feature.
|
loop
|
Keyword to enable the loop guard feature.
|
mod/port
|
Number of the module and ports on the module.
|
Defaults
The default is root guard and loop guard are disabled.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
If you enable loop guard on a channel and the first link becomes unidirectional, loop guard will block the entire channel until the affected port is removed from the channel.
You may want to prevent switches from becoming the root switch. The root guard feature forces a port to become a designated port so that no switch on the other end of the link can become a root switch.
When you enable root guard, it is automatically applied to all of the active instances or VLANs to which that port belongs. When you disable root guard, it is disabled for the specified port(s). If a port goes into the root-inconsistent state, it automatically goes into the listening state.
Use care when enabling loop guard. Loop guard is useful only in those topologies where there are blocked ports. Topologies where there are no blocked ports are loop free by definition and do not need this feature to be enabled.
Loop guard should be enabled only on root and alternate root ports.
Loop guard should be used mainly on access switches.
When you enable loop guard, it is automatically applied to all of the active instances or VLANs to which that port belongs. When you disable loop guard, it is disabled for the specified port(s). Disabling loop guard moves all loop-inconsistent ports to the listening state.
You cannot enable loop guard on portfast-enabled or dynamic VLAN ports.
You cannot enable portfast on loop guard-enabled ports.
You cannot enable loop guard if root guard is enabled.
Examples
This example shows how to enable root guard:
Console> (enable) set spantree guard root 5/1
Rootguard on port 5/1 is enabled.
Warning!! Enabling rootguard may result in a topolopy change.
This example shows how to enable the loop guard feature:
Console> (enable) set spantree guard loop 5/1
Rootguard is enabled on port 5/1, enabling loopguard will disable rootguard on
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Loopguard on port 5/1 is enabled.

set spantree portcost
Use the set spantree portcost command to set the path cost for a port or TrCRF.
set spantree portcost {mod/port | trcrf} cost
Syntax Description
mod/port
|
Number of the module and the port on the module.
|
trcrf
|
Number of the TrCRF for which you are setting the path cost.
|
cost
|
Number of the path cost; valid values are from 1 to v, with zero (0) the low cost and 65535 the high cost.
|
Defaults
The default configuration is as follows:
10-Gbps module port cost = 2
1-Gbp module port cost = 4
622-Mbps module port cost = 6
155-Mbps module port cost = 14
100-Mbps module port cost = 19
45-Mbps module port cost = 39
16-Mbp module port cost = 80
10-Mbps module port cost = 100
4-Mbps module port cost = 250
10/100-Mbps module port cost = See "Usage Guidelines"
4/16-Mbps module port cost = See "Usage Guidelines"
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
The Spanning Tree Protocol uses port path costs to determine which port to select as a forwarding port. You should assign lower numbers to ports attached to faster media (such as full duplex) and higher numbers to ports attached to slower media.
For 10/100 and 4/16 modules, the default port cost is set automatically depending on the current speed of the port. For example, if a 10/100 port is working at 10 Mbps, the port cost is 100. If the port speed changes to 100 Mbps, the port cost adjusts automatically to 19.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the port cost for port 12 on module 2 to 19:
Console> (enable) set spantree portcost 2/12 19
Spantree port 2/12 path cost set to 19.

set spantree portfast
Use the set spantree portfast command to allow a port that is connected to a single workstation or PC to start faster when it is connected.
set spantree portfast mod/port {enable | disable}
Syntax Description
mod/port
|
Number of the module and the port on the module.
|
enable
|
Keyword to enable the spanning tree port fast-start feature on the port.
|
disable
|
Keyword to disable the spanning tree port fast-start feature on the port.
|
Defaults
The default configuration has the port fast-start feature disabled.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
When a port configured with the spantree portfast enable command is connected, the port immediately enters the spanning tree forwarding state instead of going through the normal spanning tree states such as listening and learning. Use this command on ports that are connected to a single workstation or PC only; do not use it on ports that are connected to networking devices such as hubs, routers, switches, bridges, or concentrators.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the spanning tree port fast-start feature on port 2 on module 1:
Console> (enable) set spantree portfast 1/2 enable
Warning: Spantree port fast start should only be enabled on ports connected to a single
host. Connecting hubs, concentrators, switches, bridges, etc. to a fast start port can
cause temporary spanning tree loops. Use with caution.
Spantree port 1/2 fast start enabled.

set spantree portfast bpdu-guard
Use the set spantree portfast bpdu-guard command to enable and disable BPDU Guard on the switch. You can prevent loops by moving a non-trunking port configured for PortFast into an ErrDisable state when a BPDU is received on that port.
set spantree portfast bpdu-guard {enable | disable}
Syntax Description
enable
|
Keyword to enable the spanning tree PortFast BPDU-Guard.
|
disable
|
Keyword to disable the spanning tree PortFast BPDU-Guard.
|
Defaults
The default configuration has PortFast BPDU-Guard disabled.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
When you enable PortFast BPU-Guard, a non-trunking PortFast-enabled port is moved into an ErrDisable state when a BPDU is received on that port. When PortFast BPDU Guard is disabled, a PortFast-enabled non-trunking port will stay up when it receives BPDUs, which may cause spanning tree loops.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the spanning tree PortFast BPDU-Guard:
Console> (enable) set spantree portfast bpdu-guard enable
Spantree portfast bpdu-guard enabled on this switch.
This example shows how to disable the spanning tree PortFast BPDU-Guard:
Console> (enable) set spantree portfast bpdu-guard disable
Spantree portfast bpdu-guard disabled on this switch.

Syntax Description
mod/port
|
Number of the module and the port on the module.
|
trcrf
|
Keyword to specify the number of the TrCRF for which you are setting the bridge priority.
|
priority
|
(Optional) Number that represents the cost of a link in a spanning tree bridge; valid values are from 0 (high) to 63 (low).
|
trcrf_priority
|
(Optional) Number that represents the cost of the TrCRF; valid values are from 0 (high) to 7 (low).
|
Defaults
The default configuration has all ports with bridge priority set to 32.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
The specified bridge priority on an ATM port applies to all emulated LANs on that port.
Examples
This example shows how to set the priority of port 1 on module 4 to 63:
Console> (enable) set spantree portpri 4/1 63
Bridge port 4/1 priority set to 63.

set spantree portstate
Use the set spantree portstate command to manually set the state of a TrCRF.
set spantree portstate trcrf {block | forward | auto} [trbrf]
Syntax Description
trcrf
|
Number of the TrCRF for which you are manually setting the state.
|
block | forward | auto
|
Keywords to set the TrCRF to a blocked state (block), forwarding state (forward), or to have the Spanning Tree Protocol determine the correct state automatically (auto).
|
trbrf
|
(Optional) Number of the parent TrBRF.
|
Defaults
This command has no default settings.
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command only to set the port state when the TrCRF is in SRT mode and the TrBRF is running the IBM Spanning Tree Protocol, or the TrCRF is in SRB mode and the TrBRF is running the IEEE Spanning Tree Protocol.
When you enable Spanning Tree Protocol, every switch in the network goes through the blocking state and the transitory states of listening and learning at power up. If properly configured, the ports then stabilize to the forwarding or blocking state. However, with TrBRFs and TrCRFs, there are two exceptions to this rule that require you to manually set the state of the logical ports of a TrBRF:
•
The TrBRF is running the IBM Spanning Tree Protocol, and the TrCRF is in SRT mode.
•
The TrBRF is running the IEEE Spanning Tree Protocol, and the TrCRF is in SRB mode.
If either condition exists, use the set spantree portstate command to manually set the state of a TrCRF to blocked or forwarding mode or set the Spanning Tree Protocol to determine the correct state automatically.
Examples
This example shows the manual setting of TrCRF 900 to a forwarding state:
Console> (enable) set spantree portstate 900 forward
reserve_nvram : requested by block = 0
reserve_nvram : granted to block = 0
release_nvram : releasing block = 0

set spantree portvlancost
Use the set spantree portvlancost command to assign a lower path cost to a set of VLANs on a port.
set spantree portvlancost mod/port [cost cost_value] [preferred_vlans]
Syntax Description
mod/port
|
Number of the module and the port on the module.
|
cost cost_value
|
(Optional) Keyword to indicate the path cost. The port VLAN cost applies only to trunk ports; valid values are from 1 to 65535.
|
preferred_vlans
|
(Optional) Number of the preferred VLAN; valid values are from 1 to 1005.
|
Defaults
The value specified is used as the path cost of the port for the specified set of VLANs. The rest of the VLANs have a path cost equal to the port path cost, set with the set spantree portcost command (if not set, the value is the default path cost of the port).
Command Types
Switch command.
Command Modes
Privileged.
Usage Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you set the path cost for VLANs on a port:
•
The cost value specified is used as the path cost of the port for the specified set of VLANs. The rest of the VLANs have a path cost equal to the port path cost set through the set spantree portcost command. If not set, the value is the default path cost of the port.
•
You must supply a vlan_list argument when you first set the cost value. When you subsequently set a new cost value, all cost values previously set by entering this command are changed to the new cost value. If you have never explicitly set a cost value for a VLAN by entering this command, the cost value for the VLAN does not change.
•
If you do not explicitly specify a cost value but cost values were specified previously, the port VLAN cost is set to 1 less than the current port cost for a port. However, this reduction might not assure load balancing in all cases.
•
When setting the path cost for extended-range VLANs, you can create a maximum of 64 nondefault entries or create entries until NVRAM is full.
Examples
These examples show various ways to use the set spantree portvlancost command:
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 2/10 cost 25 1-20
Cannot set portvlancost to a higher value than the port cost, 10, for port 2/10.
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 2/10 1-20
Port 2/10 VLANs 1-20 have a path cost of 9.
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 2/10 cost 4 1-20
Port 2/10 VLANs 1-20 have path cost 4.
Port 2/10 VLANs 21-1000 have path cost 10.
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 2/10 cost 6 21
Port 2/10 VLANs 1-21 have path cost 6.
Port 2/10 VLANs 22-1000 have path cost 10.
These examples show how to use the set spantree portvlancost command without explicitly
specifying cost:
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 1/2
Port 1/2 VLANs 1-1005 have path cost 3100.
Console> (enable) set spantree portvlancost 1/2 21
Port 1/2 VLANs 1-20,22-1005 have path cost 3100.
Port 1/2 VLANs 21 have path cost 3099.
