spanning-tree mst

To set the path cost and port-priority parameters for any MST instance (including the CIST with instance ID 0), use the spanning-tree mst command. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

spanning-tree mst instance-id [cost cost] | [port-priority prio]

no spanning-tree mst instance-id {cost | port-priority}

Syntax Description


instance-id	Instance ID number; valid values are from 0 to 15.
cost cost	(Optional) Specifies the path cost for an instance; valid values are from 1 to 200000000.
port-priority prio	(Optional) Specifies the port priority for an instance; valid values are from 0 to 240 in increments of 16.

Defaults

Port priority is 128.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The higher cost cost values indicate higher costs. When entering the cost value, do not include a comma in the entry; for example, enter 1000, not 1,000.

The higher port-priority prio values indicate smaller priorities.

By default, the cost depends on the port speed; faster interface speeds indicate smaller costs. MST always uses long path costs.

Examples

This example shows how to set the interface path cost:

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst 0 cost 17031970

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to set the interface priority:

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst 0 port-priority 64

Switch(config-if)#

Related Commands

spanning-tree mst configuration

To enter the MST configuration submode, use the spanning-tree mst configuration command. To return to the default MST configuration, use the no form of this command.

spanning-tree mst configuration

no spanning-tree mst configuration

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•No VLANs are mapped to any MST instance.

•All VLANs are mapped to the CIST instance.

•The region name is an empty string.

•The revision number is 0.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The MST configuration consists of three main parameters:

•Instance VLAN mapping (see the instance command)

•Region name (see the name command)

•Configuration revision number (see the revision command)

By default, the value for the MST configuration is the default value for all its parameters.

The abort and exit commands allow you to exit the MST configuration submode. The difference between the two commands depends on whether you want to save your changes or not.

The exit command commits all the changes before leaving MST configuration submode. If you do not map the secondary VLANs to the same instance as the associated primary VLAN, when you exit the MST configuration submode, a message displays and lists the secondary VLANs that are not mapped to the same instance as the associated primary VLAN. The message is as follows:

These secondary vlans are not mapped to the same instance as their primary:

->3

The abort command leaves the MST configuration submode without committing any changes.

Whenever you change an MST configuration submode parameter, it can cause a loss of connectivity. To reduce the number of service disruptions, when you enter the MST configuration submode, you are changing a copy of the current MST configuration. When you are done editing the configuration, you can apply all the changes at once by using the exit keyword, or you can exit the submode without committing any change to the configuration by using the abort keyword.

In the unlikely event that two users enter a new configuration at exactly at the same time, this message is displayed:

Switch(config-mst)# exit

% MST CFG:Configuration change lost because of concurrent access

Switch(config-mst)#

Examples

This example shows how to enter the MST configuration submode:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst configuration

Switch(config-mst)#

This example shows how to reset the MST configuration to the default settings:

Switch(config)# no spanning-tree mst configuration

spanning-tree portfast (interface configuration mode)

To enable PortFast mode, where the interface is immediately put into the forwarding state upon linkup without waiting for the timer to expire, use the spanning-tree portfast command. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

spanning-tree portfast {disable | trunk}

no spanning-tree portfast

Syntax Description


disable	Disables PortFast on the interface.
trunk	Enables PortFast on the interface even while in the trunk mode.

Defaults

PortFast mode is disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(12c)EW	The disable and trunk options were added.

Usage Guidelines

You should use this feature only with interfaces that connect to end stations; otherwise, an accidental topology loop could cause a data packet loop and disrupt the Catalyst 4500 series switch and network operation.

An interface with PortFast mode enabled is moved directly to the spanning-tree forwarding state when linkup occurs without waiting for the standard forward-time delay.

Be careful when using the no spanning-tree portfast command. This command does not disable PortFast if the spanning-tree portfast default command is enabled.

This command has four states:

•spanning-tree portfast—This command enables PortFast unconditionally on the given port.

•spanning-tree portfast disable—This command explicitly disables PortFast for the given port. The configuration line shows up in the running-configuration as it is not the default.

•spanning-tree portfast trunk—This command allows you to configure PortFast on trunk ports.

Note If you enter the spanning-tree portfast trunk command, the port is configured for PortFast even when in the access mode.

•no spanning-tree portfast—This command implicitly enables PortFast if the spanning-tree portfast default command is defined in global configuration and if the port is not a trunk port. If you do not configure PortFast globally, the no spanning-tree portfast command is equivalent to the spanning-tree portfast disable command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable PortFast mode:

Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast

Switch(config-if)

Related Commands

spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

To enable the BPDU filtering by default on all PortFast ports, use the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default command. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

no spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Defaults

BPDU filtering is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default command enables BPDU filtering globally on the Catalyst 4500 series switch. BPDU filtering prevents a port from sending or receiving any BPDUs.

You can override the effects of the spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default command by configuring BPDU filtering at the interface level.

Note Be careful when enabling BPDU filtering. Functionality is different when enabling on a per-port basis or globally. When enabled globally, BPDU filtering is applied only on ports that are in an operational PortFast state. Ports still send a few BPDUs at linkup before they effectively filter outbound BPDUs. If a BPDU is received on an edge port, it immediately loses its operational PortFast status and BPDU filtering is disabled.

When enabled locally on a port, BPDU filtering prevents the Catalyst 4500 series switch from receiving or sending BPDUs on this port.

Caution

Be careful when using this command. This command can cause bridging loops if not used correctly.

Examples

This example shows how to enable BPDU filtering by default:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default

Switch(config)#

Related Commands

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

no spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

Syntax Description

This command has no keywords or arguments.

Defaults

BPDU guard is disabled.

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

Caution

Be careful when using this command. You should use this command only with the interfaces that connect to the end stations; otherwise, an accidental topology loop could cause a data packet loop and disrupt the Catalyst 4500 series switch and network operation.

BPDU guard disables a port if it receives a BPDU. BPDU guard is applied only on ports that are PortFast enabled and are in an operational PortFast state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable BPDU guard by default:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default

Switch(config)#

Related Commands

spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate packets-per-second]

no spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate]

Syntax Description


max-update-rate packets_per_second	(Optional) Specifies the maximum rate (in packets per second) at which update packets are sent; valid values are from 0 to 65535.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•Disabled.

•Maximum update rate is 150.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

This command should be used only on access switches.

When UplinkFast is configured, the bridge priority is changed to 49,152 so that this switch will not be selected as root. All interface path costs of all spanning-tree interfaces belonging to the specified spanning-tree instances are also increased by 3000.

When spanning tree detects that the root interface has failed, the UplinkFast feature causes an immediate switchover to an alternate root interface, transitioning the new root interface directly to the forwarding state. During this time, a topology change notification is sent. To minimize the disruption caused by the topology change, a multicast packet is sent to 01-00-0C-CD-CD-CD for each station address in the forwarding bridge except for those associated with the old root interface.

Use the spanning-tree uplinkfast max-update-rate command to enable UplinkFast (if not already enabled) and change the rate at which the update packets are sent. Use the no form of this command to return the default rate of 150 packets per second.

Examples

This example shows how to enable UplinkFast and set the maximum rate to 200 packets per second:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree uplinkfast

Switch(config)# spanning-tree uplinkfast max-update-rate 200

To configure STP on a per-VLAN basis, use the spanning-tree vlan command. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

spanning-tree vlan vlan_id [forward-time seconds | hello-time seconds | max-age seconds | priority priority | protocol protocol | root {primary | secondary} [diameter net-diameter [hello-time seconds]]]

no spanning-tree vlan vlan_id [forward-time | hello-time | max-age | priority | root]

Syntax Description


vlan_id	VLAN identification number; valid values are from 1 to 4094.
forward-time seconds	(Optional) Sets the STP forward delay time; valid values are from 4 to 30 seconds.
hello-time seconds	(Optional) Specifies, in seconds, the time between configuration messages generated by the root switch; valid values are from 1 to 10 seconds.
max-age seconds	(Optional) Sets the maximum time, in seconds, that the information in a BPDU is valid; valid values are from 6 to 40 seconds.
priority priority	(Optional) Sets the STP bridge priority; valid values are from 0 to 65535.
protocol protocol	(Optional) Specifies the protocol.
root primary	(Optional) Forces this switch to be the root bridge.
root secondary	(Optional) Specifies this switch act as the root switch should the primary root fail.
diameter net-diameter	(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of bridges between two end stations; valid values are from 2 to 7.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•Forward-time—15 seconds

•Hello-time—2 seconds

•Max-age—20 seconds

•Priority—32768 with STP enabled; 128 with MST enabled

•Root—No STP root

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(12c)EW	Support for extended addressing was added.

Usage Guidelines

When you are setting the max-age seconds value, if a bridge does not hear BPDUs from the root bridge within the specified interval, it assumes that the network has changed and recomputes the spanning-tree topology.

The spanning-tree root primary command alters the switch bridge priority to 8192. If you enter the spanning-tree root primary command and the switch does not become root, then the bridge priority is changed to 100 less than the bridge priority of the current bridge. If the switch does not become root, an error will result.

The spanning-tree root secondary command alters the switch bridge priority to 16384. If the root switch fails, this switch becomes the next root switch.

Use the spanning-tree root commands on backbone switches only.

Examples

This example shows how to enable spanning tree on VLAN 200:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200

Switch(config)#

This example shows how to configure the switch as the root switch for VLAN 10 with a network diameter of 4:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree vlan 10 root primary diameter 4

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.2(20)EWA	Support for auto negotiating specific speeds added.

Usage Guidelines

Table 2-28 lists the supported command options by interface.

Table 2-28 Supported speed Command Options
Interface Type	Supported Syntax	Default Setting	Guidelines
10/100-Mbps module	speed [10 \| 100 \| auto]	auto	If the speed is set to 10 or 100 and you do not configure the duplex setting, the duplex is set to half.
100-Mbps fiber modules	Not applicable.	Not applicable.	Not applicable.
Gigabit Ethernet Interface	speed nonegotiate	nonegotiate is enabled.	This is only applicable to Gigabit Ethernet ports.
10/100/1000	speed [10 \| 100 \| 1000 \| auto]	auto	If the speed is set to 10 or 100 and you do not configure the duplex setting, the duplex is set to half. If the speed is set to 1000 or auto with any subset containing 1000 (e.g. speed auto 10 1000 or speed auto on a 10/100/1000 port), you will not able to set half duplex.
1000	Not applicable.	Not applicable.	The speed is always 1000. The duplex is half.

If you configure the interface speed and duplex commands manually and enter a value other than
speed auto (for example, 10 or 100 Mbps), make sure that you configure the connecting interface speed command to a matching speed but do not use the auto parameter.

When manually configuring the interface speed to either 10 or 100 Mbps, the switch prompts you to also configure duplex mode on the interface.

Note Catalyst 4006 switches cannot automatically negotiate the interface speed and the duplex mode if either connecting interface is configured to a value other than auto.

Caution

Changing the interface speed and the duplex mode configuration might shut down and reenable the interface during the reconfiguration.

Table 2-29 describes the system's performance for different combinations of the duplex and speed modes. The specified duplex command that is configured with the specified speed command produces the resulting system action.

Table 2-29 System Action Using duplex and speed Commands
duplex Command	speed Command	Resulting System Action
duplex auto	speed auto	Autonegotiates both speed and duplex modes
duplex half	speed 10	Forces 10 Mbps and half duplex
duplex full	speed 10	Forces 10 Mbps and full duplex
duplex half	speed 100	Forces 100 Mbps and half duplex
duplex full	speed 100	Forces 100 Mbps and full duplex
duplex full	speed 1000	Forces 1000 Mbps and full duplex

Examples

This example shows how to set the interface speed to 100 Mbps on the Fast Ethernet interface 5/4:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 5/4

Switch(config-if)# speed 100

This example shows how to allow Fast Ethernet interface 5/4 to autonegotiate the speed and duplex mode:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 5/4

Switch(config-if)# speed auto

Note The speed auto 10 100 command is similar to the speed auto command on a Fast Ethernet interface.

This example shows how to limit the interface speed to 10 and 100 Mbps on the Gigabit Ethernet interface 1/1 in auto-negotiation mode:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1

Switch(config-if)# speed auto 10 100

This example shows how to limit the speed negotiation to 100 Mbps on the Gigabit Ethernet interface 1/1:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1

Switch(config-if)# speed auto 100

The Catalyst 4500 series switch supports broadcast traffic storm control on all LAN ports.

The period is required when you enter the fractional suppression level.

The suppression level is entered as a percentage of the total bandwidth. A threshold value of 100 percent indicates that no limit is placed on traffic. A value of 0.0 means that all specified traffic on that port is blocked.

Enter the show interfaces counters storm-control command to display the discard count.

Enter the show running-config command to display the enabled suppression mode and level setting.

To turn off suppression for the specified traffic type, you can do one of the following:

•Set the high-level value to 100 percent for the specified traffic type.

•Use the no form of this command.

The lower level is ignored for the interfaces that perform storm control in the hardware.

Examples

This example shows how to enable broadcast storm control on a port with a 75.67 percent rising suppression level:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 75.67

This example shows how to disable the port during a storm:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control action shutdown

This example shows how to disable storm control on a port:

Switch(config-if)# no storm-control broadcast level

This example shows how to disable storm control by setting the high level to 100 percent:

Switch(config-if)# storm-control broadcast level 100

switchport

To modify the switching characteristics of a Layer 2 switch interface, use the switchport command. To return the interface to the routed-interface status and cause all further Layer 2 configuration to be erased, use the no form of this command without parameters.

switchport [access vlan vlan_num] | [nonegotiate] | [voice vlan {vlan_id | dot1p | none | untagged}]

no switchport [access | nonegotiate | voice vlan]

Syntax Description


access vlan vlan_num	(Optional) Sets the VLAN when the interface is in access mode; valid values are from 1 to 1005.
nonegotiate	(Optional) Specifies that the DISL/DTP negotiation packets will not be sent on the interface.
voice vlan vlan_id	(Optional) Specifies the number of the VLAN; valid values are from 1 to 1005.
dot1p	(Optional) Specifies that the PVID packets are tagged as priority.
none	(Optional) Specifies that the telephone and voice VLAN do not communicate.
untagged	(Optional) Specifies the untagged PVID packets.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•Switchport trunking mode is enabled.

•Dynamic negotiation parameter is set to auto.

•Access VLANs and trunk interface native VLANs are a default VLAN corresponding to the platform or interface hardware.

•All VLAN lists include all VLANs.

•No voice VLAN is enabled.

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(11)EW	Support for voice VLAN was added.

Usage Guidelines

The no switchport command shuts the port down and then reenables it, which may generate messages on the device to which the port is connected.

The no form of the switchport access command resets the access mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device. The no form of the switchport nonegotiate command removes the nonegotiate status.

When you are using the nonegotiate keyword, DISL/DTP negotiation packets will not be sent on the interface. The device will trunk or not trunk according to the mode parameter given: access or trunk. This command will return an error if you attempt to execute it in dynamic (auto or desirable) mode.

The voice VLAN is automatically set to VLAN 1 unless you use one of the optional keywords.

If you use the switch port voice vlan command for an interface, the interface cannot join a port channel.

When you use the switchport voice vlan command, the output for the show running-config command changes to show the voice VLAN set.

Examples

This example shows how to cause the port interface to stop operating as a Cisco-routed port and convert to a Layer 2-switched interface:

Switch(config-if)# switchport

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to cause a port interface in access mode, which is configured as a switched interface, to operate in VLAN 2:

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to cause a port interface, which is configured as a switched interface, to refrain from negotiating in trunking mode and act as a trunk or access port (depending on the mode set):

Switch(config-if)# switchport nonegotiate

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to set the voice VLAN for the interface to VLAN 2:

Switch(config-if)# switchport voice vlan 2

switchport voice vlan 2

Switch(config-if)#

Related Commands

switchport access vlan

To set the VLAN when an interface is in access mode, use the switchport access vlan command. To reset the access mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device, use the no form of this command.

switchport access [vlan {vlan-id | dynamic}]

no switchport access vlan

Syntax Description


vlan-id	(Optional) Number of the VLAN on the interface in access mode; valid values are from 1 to 4094.
dynamic	(Optional) Enables VMPS control of the VLAN.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•The access VLAN and trunk interface native VLAN are default VLANs that correspond to the platform or the interface hardware.

•All VLAN lists include all VLANs.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(13)EW	Support for VPMS was added.

Usage Guidelines

You must enter the switchport command without any keywords to configure the LAN interface as a Layer 2 interface before you can enter the switchport access vlan command. This action is required only if you have not already entered the switchport command for the interface.

Entering the no switchport command shuts the port down and then reenables it, which could generate messages on the device to which the port is connected.

The no form of the switchport access vlan command resets the access mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device.

If your system is configured with a Supervisor Engine I, valid values for vlan-id are from 1 to 1005. If your system is configured with a Supervisor Engine II, valid values for vlan-id are from 1 to 4094. Extended-range VLANs are not supported on systems configured with a Supervisor Engine I.

Examples

This example shows how to cause the port interface to stop operating as a Cisco-routed port and convert to a Layer 2-switched interface:

Switch(config-if)# switchport

Switch(config-if)#

Note This command is not used on platforms that do not support Cisco-routed ports. All physical ports on such platforms are assumed to be Layer 2-switched interfaces.

This example shows how to cause a port interface that has already been configured as a switched interface to operate in VLAN 2 instead of the platform's default VLAN when in access mode:

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2

Switch(config-if)#

no switchport block {multicast | unicast}

Syntax Description


multicast	Specifies that the unknown multicast traffic should be blocked.
unicast	Specifies that the unknown unicast traffic should be blocked.

Defaults

Unknown multicast and unicast traffic are not blocked.

All traffic with unknown MAC addresses is sent to all ports.

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(19)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

You can block the unknown multicast or unicast traffic on the switch ports.

Blocking the unknown multicast or unicast traffic is not automatically enabled on the switch ports; you must explicitly configure it.

Note For more information about blocking the packets, refer to the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to block the unknown multicast traffic on an interface:

Switch(config-if)# switchport block multicast

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id switchport privileged EXEC command.

switchport mode

To set the interface type, use the switchport mode command. To reset the mode to the appropriate default mode for the device, use the no form of this command.

switchport mode {access | dot1q-tunnel | trunk | dynamic {auto | desirable}}

switchport mode private-vlan {host | promiscuous | trunk promiscuous | trunk [secondary]}

no switchport mode dot1q-tunnel

no switchport mode private-vlan

Syntax Description


access	Specifies a nontrunking, nontagged single VLAN Layer 2 interface.
dot1q-tunnel	Specifies an 802.1Q tunnel port.
trunk	Specifies a trunking VLAN Layer 2 interface.
dynamic auto	Specifies that the interface convert the link to a trunk link.
dynamic desirable	Specifies that the interface actively attempt to convert the link to a trunk link.
private-vlan host	Specifies that the ports with a valid PVLAN trunk association become active host private VLAN trunk ports.
private-vlan promiscuous	Specifies that the ports with a valid PVLAN mapping become active promiscuous ports.
private-vlan trunk promiscuous	Specifies that the ports with valid PVLAN trunk mapping become active promiscuous trunk ports.
private-vlan trunk secondary	Specifies that the ports with a valid PVLAN trunk association become active host private VLAN trunk ports.

Defaults

Link converts to a trunk link.

dot1q tunnel ports are disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.2(18)EW	Support was added for configuring dot1q tunnel ports.
12.2(31)SG	Support was added for trunk promiscuous ports.

Usage Guidelines

If you enter access mode, the interface goes into permanent nontrunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a nontrunk link even if the neighboring interface does not approve the change.

If you enter trunk mode, the interface goes into permanent trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link even if the neighboring interface does not approve the change.

If you enter dynamic auto mode, the interface converts the link to a trunk link if the neighboring interface is set to trunk or desirable mode.

If you enter dynamic desirable mode, the interface becomes a trunk interface if the neighboring interface is set to trunk, desirable, or auto mode.

If you specify the dot1q-tunnel keyword, the port is set unconditionally as an 802.1Q tunnel port.

The port becomes inactive if you configure it as a private VLAN trunk port and one of the following applies:

•The port does not have a valid PVLAN association.

•The port does not have valid allowed normal VLANs.

If a private port PVLAN association or mapping is deleted, or if a private port is configured as a SPAN destination, it becomes inactive.

Examples

This example shows how to set the interface to dynamic desirable mode:

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode dynamic desirable

switchport port-security

To enable port security on an interface, use the switchport port-security command. To disable port security and set parameters to their default states, use the no form of this command.

switchport port-security [aging {static | time time | type {absolute | inactivity}} |
limit rate invalid-source-mac [N | none] | mac-address mac-address [vlan {access | voice} | mac-address sticky [mac-address] [vlan access | voice] | maximum value [vlan {access | voice} | violation {restrict | shutdown}]

no switchport port-security [aging {static | time time | type {absolute | inactivity}} |
limit rate invalid-source-mac [N | none] | mac-address mac-address [vlan {access | voice} | mac-address sticky [mac-address] [vlan access | voice] | maximum value [vlan {access | voice} | violation {restrict | shutdown}]

Syntax Description


aging	(Optional) Specifies aging for port security.
static	(Optional) Enables aging for statically configured secure addresses on this port.
time time	(Optional) Specifies the aging time for this port. The valid values are from 0 to 1440 minutes. If the time is 0, aging is disabled for this port.
type absolute	(Optional) Sets the aging type as absolute aging. All the secure addresses on this port age out exactly after the time (minutes) specified and are removed from the secure address list.
type inactivity	(Optional) Sets the aging type as inactivity aging. The secure addresses on this port age out only if there is no data traffic from the secure source address for the specified time period.
limit rate invalid-source-mac	(Optional) Sets the rate limit for bad packets. This rate limit also applies to the port where DHCP snooping security mode is enabled as filtering the IP and MAC address.
N none	(Optional) Supplies a rate limit (N) or indicates none (none).
mac-address mac-address	(Optional) Specifies a secure MAC address for the interface; a 48-bit MAC address. You can add additional secure MAC addresses up to the maximum value that is configured.
sticky	(Optional) Configures the dynamic addresses as sticky on the interface.
vlan access	(Optional) Deletes the secure MAC addresses from access VLANs.
vlan voice	(Optional) Deletes the secure MAC addresses from voice VLANs.
maximum value	(Optional) Sets the maximum number of secure MAC addresses for the interface. Valid values are from 1 to 3072. The default setting is 1.
violation	(Optional) Sets the security violation mode and action to be taken if port security is violated.
restrict	(Optional) Sets the security violation restrict mode. In this mode, a port security violation restricts data and causes the security violation counter to increment.
shutdown	(Optional) Sets the security violation shutdown mode. In this mode, a port security violation causes the interface to immediately become error disabled.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•Port security is disabled.

•When port security is enabled and no keywords are entered, the default maximum number of secure MAC addresses is 1.

•Aging is disabled.

•Aging time is 0 minutes.

•All secure addresses on this port age out immediately after they are removed from the secure address list.

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(13)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
12.1(19)EW	Extended to include DHCP snooping security enhancement.
12.2(18)EW	Add support for sticky interfaces.
12.2(31)SG	Add support for sticky port security.

Usage Guidelines

After you set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses that are allowed on a port, you can add secure addresses to the address table by manually configuring them, by allowing the port to dynamically configure them, or by configuring some MAC addresses and allowing the rest to be dynamically configured.

The packets are dropped into the hardware when the maximum number of secure MAC addresses are in the address table and a station that does not have a MAC address in the address table attempts to access the interface.

If you enable port security on a voice VLAN port and if there is a PC connected to the IP phone, you set the maximum allowed secure addresses on the port to more than 1.

You cannot configure static secure MAC addresses in the voice VLAN.

A secure port has the following limitations:

•A secure port cannot be a dynamic access port or a trunk port.

•A secure port cannot be a routed port.

•A secure port cannot be a protected port.

•A secure port cannot be a destination port for Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN).

•A secure port cannot belong to a Fast EtherChannel or Gigabit EtherChannel port group.

•A secure port cannot be an 802.1X port.

•If you try to enable 802.1X on a secure port, an error message appears, and 802.1X is not enabled. If you try to change an 802.1X-enabled port to a secure port, an error message appears, and the security settings are not changed.

When a secure port is in the error-disabled state, you can remove it from this state by entering the errdisable recovery cause psecure-violation global configuration command, or you can manually reenable it by entering the shutdown and no shut down interface configuration commands.

To enable secure address aging for a particular port, set the aging time to a value other than 0 for that port.

To allow limited time access to particular secure addresses, set the aging type as absolute. When the aging time lapses, the secure addresses are deleted.

To allow continuous access to a limited number of secure addresses, set the aging type as inactivity. This action removes the secure address when it becomes inactive, and other addresses can become secure.

To allow unlimited access to a secure address, configure it as a secure address, and disable aging for the statically configured secure address by using the no switchport port-security aging static interface configuration command.

If the sticky command is executed without a MAC address specified, all MAC addresses that are learned on that port will be made sticky. You can also specify a specific MAC address to be a sticky address by entering the sticky keyword next to it.

You can configure the sticky feature even when port security is not enabled on the interface. The feature becomes operational when you enable port security on the interface.

You can use the no form of the sticky command only if the sticky feature is already enabled on the interface.

Examples

This example shows how to set the aging time to 2 hours (120 minutes) for the secure addresses on the Fast Ethernet port 12:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/12

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 120

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to set the aging timer type to Inactivity for the secure addresses on the Fast Ethernet port 12:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/12

Switch(config-if)

This example shows how to make MAC address 1000.2000.3000 sticky on Fast Ethernet port 12:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 2/12

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky 1000.2000.3000

Switch(config-if)

This example shows how to disable the sticky feature on Fast Ethernet port 12:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 2/12

Switch(config-if)# no switchport port-security mac-address sticky

Switch(config-if)

Note This command makes all sticky addresses on this interface normal learned entries. It does not delete the entries from the secure MAC address table.

Note The following examples show how to configure sticky secure MAC addresses in access and voice VLANs on interfaces with voice VLAN configured. If you do not have voice VLAN configured the
vlan [access | voice] keywords are not supported.

This example shows how to configure sticky MAC addresses for voice and data VLANs on Fast Ethernet interface 5/1 and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# interface fa5/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky 0000.0000.obob vlan voice

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky 0000.0000.0005 vlan access

Switch(config-if)# end

This example shows how to designate a maximum of one MAC address for a voice VLAN (for a Cisco IP Phone, let's say) and one MAC address for the data VLAN (for a PC, let's say) on Fast Ethernet interface 5/1 and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# interface fa5/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 1 vlan voice

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 1 vlan access

Switch(config-if)# end

Note Sending traffic to the ports causes the system to configure the port with sticky secure addresses.

You can verify your settings by using the show port-security address privileged EXEC command.

Syntax Description


encapsulation isl	Sets the trunk encapsulation format to ISL.
encapsulation dot1q	Sets the trunk encapsulation format to 802.1Q.
encapsulation negotiate	Specifies that if DISL and DTP negotiation do not resolve the encapsulation format, ISL will be the selected format.
native vlan tag	Specifies the tagging of native VLAN traffic on 802.1Q trunks.
native vlan vlan_id	Sets the native VLAN for the trunk in 802.1Q trunking mode.

Defaults

The default settings are as follows:

•The encapsulation type is dependent on the platform or interface hardware.

•The access VLANs and trunk interface native VLANs are a default VLAN that corresponds to the platform or the interface hardware.

•All VLAN lists include all VLANs.

•Native VLAN tagging is enabled on the port if enabled globally.

12.1(12c)EW	Support for extended addressing was added.
12.2(18)EW	Support for native VLAN tagging was added.

Usage Guidelines

The vlan_list format is all | none | [add | remove | except] vlan_atom[,vlan_atom...], where:

•all specifies all VLANs from 1 to 4094. This keyword is not supported on commands that do not permit all VLANs in the list to be set at the same time.

•none indicates an empty list. This keyword is not supported on commands that require certain VLANs to be set or at least one VLAN to be set.

•add adds the defined list of VLANs to those currently set, instead of replacing the list.

•remove removes the defined list of VLANs from those currently set, instead of replacing the list.

•except lists the VLANs that should be calculated by inverting the defined list of VLANs.

•vlan_atom is either a single VLAN number from 1 to 4094 or a continuous range of VLANs described by two VLAN numbers (the lesser one first, separated by a hyphen).

The switchport trunk encapsulation command is supported only for platforms and interface hardware that can support both ISL and 802.1Q formats.

If you enter the negotiate keywords, and DISL and DTP negotiation do not resolve the encapsulation format, ISL is the selected format. The no form of this command resets the trunk encapsulation format back to the default.

The no form of the native vlan command resets the native mode VLAN to the appropriate default VLAN for the device.

The no form of the allowed vlan command resets the list to the default list, which allows all VLANs.

The no form of the pruning vlan command resets the list to the default list, which enables all VLANs for VTP pruning.

These configuration guidelines and restrictions apply when using 802.1Q trunks and impose some limitations on the trunking strategy for a network:

•When connecting Cisco switches through an 802.1Q trunk, make sure that the native VLAN for an 802.1Q trunk is the same on both ends of the trunk link. If the native VLAN on one end of the trunk is different from the native VLAN on the other end, spanning-tree loops might result.

•Disabling spanning tree on the native VLAN of an 802.1Q trunk without disabling spanning tree on every VLAN in the network can cause spanning-tree loops. We recommend that you leave spanning tree enabled on the native VLAN of an 802.1Q trunk. If this is not possible, disable spanning tree on every VLAN in the network. Make sure that your network is free of physical loops before disabling spanning tree.

•When you connect two Cisco switches through 802.1Q trunks, the switches exchange spanning-tree BPDUs on each VLAN that is allowed on the trunks. The BPDUs on the native VLAN of the trunk are sent untagged to the reserved 802.1d spanning-tree multicast MAC address (01-80-C2-00-00-00). The BPDUs on all other VLANs on the trunk are sent tagged to the reserved SSTP multicast MAC address (01-00-0c-cc-cc-cd).

•Non-Cisco 802.1Q switches maintain only a single instance of spanning tree (MST) that defines the spanning-tree topology for all VLANs. When you connect a Cisco switch to a non-Cisco switch through an 802.1Q trunk, the MST of the non-Cisco switch and the native VLAN spanning tree of the Cisco switch combine to form a single spanning-tree topology known as the CST.

•Because Cisco switches transmit BPDUs to the SSTP multicast MAC address on the VLANs other than the native VLAN of the trunk, non-Cisco switches do not recognize these frames as BPDUs and flood them on all ports in the corresponding VLAN. Cisco switches connected to the non-Cisco 802.1Q network receive these flooded BPDUs. Because Cisco switches receive the flooded BPDUs, the switches can maintain a per-VLAN spanning-tree topology across a network of non-Cisco 802.1Q switches. The non-Cisco 802.1Q network separating the Cisco switches is treated as a single broadcast segment between all switches that are connected to the non-Cisco 802.1Q network through the 802.1Q trunks.

•Ensure that the native VLAN is the same on all of the 802.1Q trunks connecting the Cisco switches to the non-Cisco 802.1Q network.

•If you are connecting multiple Cisco switches to a non-Cisco 802.1Q network, all of the connections must be through the 802.1Q trunks. You cannot connect Cisco switches to a non-Cisco 802.1Q network through the ISL trunks or through the access ports. This action causes the switch to place the ISL trunk port or access port into the spanning-tree "port inconsistent" state and no traffic will pass through the port.

Follow these guidelines for native VLAN tagging:

•The no switchport trunk native vlan tag command disables the native VLAN tagging operation on a port. This overrides the global tagging configuration.

•The switchport trunk native vlan tag command can be used to reenable tagging on a disabled port.

•The no option is saved to NVRAM so that the user does not have to manually select the ports to disable the tagging operation each time that the switch reboots.

•When the switchport trunk native vlan tag command is enabled and active, all packets on the native VLAN are tagged, and incoming untagged data packets are dropped. Untagged control packets are accepted.

Examples

This example shows how to cause a port interface that is configured as a switched interface to encapsulate in 802.1Q trunking format regardless of its default trunking format in trunking mode:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to enable 802.1Q tagging on a port:

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan tag

Switch(config-if)#

This example shows how to configure a secure MAC-address and a maximum limit of secure MAC addresses on Gigabit Ethernet port 1 for all VLANs:

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 3

This example shows how to configure a secure MAC-address on Gigabit Ethernet port 1 in a specific VLAN or range of VLANs:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

Switch(config-if)# vlan-range 2-6

Switch(config-if-vlan-range)# port-security maximum 3

This example shows how to configure a secure MAC-address in a VLAN on Gigabit Ethernet port 1:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Switch(config-if-vlan-range)# port-security mac-address sticky 1.1.2

Switch(config-if-vlan-range)# port-security mac-address sticky 1.1.3

You can verify your settings by using the show port-security interface vlan privileged EXEC command.

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The datagram-size parameter specifies the Ethernet payload size, not the total Ethernet frame size, and the Layer 3 MTU is changed as a result of changing the system mtu command.

For ports from 3 to18 on model WS-X4418-GB and ports from 1 to 12 on model WS-X4412-2GB-TX, only the standard IEEE Ethernet payload size of 1500 bytes is supported.

For other modules, an Ethernet payload size of up to 1552 bytes is supported with a total Ethernet frame size of up to 1600 bytes.

Examples

This example shows how to set the MTU size to 1550 bytes:

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# system mtu 1550

Switch(config)# end

•WS-C4948

•WS-C4948-10GE

The valid values for interface interface are fastethernet and gigabitethernet.

Do not start the test at the same time on both ends of the cable. Starting the test at both ends of the cable at the same time can lead to false test results.

Do not change the port configuration during any cable diagnostics test. This action may result in incorrect test results.

The interface must be operating before starting the TDR test. If the port is down, the results of the test will be invalid. Issue the no shutdown command on the port.

Examples

This example shows how to start the TDR test on port 1 on module 2:

Switch# test cable-diagnostics tdr int gi2/1

Switch#

This example shows the message that displays when the TDR test is not supported on a module:

Switch# test cable-diagnostics tdr int gi2/1

For Layer 2 traceroute to functional properly, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled on all of the switches in the network. Do not disable CDP.

When the switch detects a device in the Layer 2 path that does not support Layer 2 traceroute, the switch continues to send Layer 2 trace queries and lets them time out.

The maximum number of hops identified in the path is ten.

Layer 2 traceroute supports only unicast traffic. If you specify a multicast source or destination MAC address, the physical path is not identified, and a message appears.

The traceroute mac command output shows the Layer 2 path when the specified source and destination addresses belong to the same VLAN. If you specify source and destination addresses that belong to different VLANs, the Layer 2 path is not identified, and a message appears.

If the source or destination MAC address belongs to multiple VLANs, you must specify the VLAN to which both the source and destination MAC addresses belong. If the VLAN is not specified, the path is not identified, and a message appears.

Layer 2 traceroute is not supported when multiple devices are attached to one port through hubs (for example, multiple CDP neighbors are detected on a port). When more than one CDP neighbor is detected on a port, the Layer 2 path is not identified, and a message appears.

This feature is not supported in Token Ring VLANs.

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(13)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The Layer 2 traceroute feature is available on these switches:

•Catalyst 2950 switches running Release 12.1(12c)EA1 or later

•Catalyst 3550 switches running Release 12.1(12c)EA1 or later

•Catalyst 4500 series switches running Catalyst operating system Release 6.2 or later for the supervisor engine

•Catalyst 4500 series switches running Release 12.1(15)EW or later

•Catalyst 5000 family switches running Catalyst operating system Release 6.1 or later for the supervisor engine

•Catalyst 6500 series switches running Catalyst operating system Release 6.1 or later for the supervisor engine

For Layer 2 traceroute to functional properly, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled on all the switches in the network. Do not disable CDP.

When the switch detects a device in the Layer 2 path that does not support Layer 2 traceroute, the switch continues to send Layer 2 trace queries and lets them time out.

The maximum number of hops identified in the path is ten.

The traceroute mac ip command output shows the Layer 2 path when the specified source and destination IP addresses are in the same subnet. When you specify the IP addresses, the switch uses Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to associate the IP addresses with the corresponding MAC addresses and the VLAN IDs.

•If an ARP entry exists for the specified IP address, the switch uses the associated MAC address and identifies the physical path.

•If an ARP entry does not exist, the switch sends an ARP query and tries to resolve the IP address. The IP addresses must be in the same subnet. If the IP address is not resolved, the path is not identified, and a message appears.

This feature is not supported in Token Ring VLANs.

•Disable normal mode UDLD on all the fiber ports by default

•Disable aggressive mode UDLD on all the fiber ports by default

•Disable the message timer

udld enable | aggressive

no udld enable | aggressive

udld message time message-timer-time

no udld message time

Syntax Description


enable	Enables UDLD in normal mode by default on all the fiber interfaces.
aggressive	Enables UDLD in aggressive mode by default on all the fiber interfaces.
message time message-timer-time	Sets the period of time between the UDLD probe messages on the ports that are in advertisement mode and are currently determined to be bidirectional; valid values are from 7 to 90 seconds.

Defaults

All fiber interfaces are disabled and the message timer time equals 15 seconds.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

If you enable aggressive mode, once all the neighbors of a port have aged out either in the advertisement or in the detection phase, UDLD restarts the linkup sequence to try to resynchronize with any potentially out-of-sync neighbor and shuts down the port if the message train from the link is still undetermined.

This command affects the fiber interfaces only. Use the udld (interface configuration mode) command to enable UDLD on the other interface types.

Examples

This example shows how to enable UDLD on all the fiber interfaces:

Switch (config)# udld enable

Switch (config)#

Related Commands

To enable UDLD on an individual interface or to prevent a fiber interface from being enabled by the udld (global configuration mode) command, use the udld command. To return to the udld (global configuration mode) command setting, or if the port is a nonfiber port to disable UDLD, use the no form of this command.

udld {enable | aggressive | disable}

no udld {enable | aggressive | disable}

Syntax Description


enable	Enables UDLD on this interface.
aggressive	Enables UDLD in aggressive mode on this interface.
disable	Disables UDLD on this interface.

Defaults

The fiber interfaces are enabled per the state of the global udld (enable or aggressive) command, and the nonfiber interfaces are enabled with UDLD disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

Use the no udld enable command on the fiber ports to return control of UDLD to the global udld enable command or to disable UDLD on the nonfiber ports.

Use the udld aggressive command on the fiber ports to override the setting of the global udld (enable or aggressive) command. Use the no form on the fiber ports to remove this setting, return control of UDLD enabling back to the global udld command or to disable UDLD on the nonfiber ports.

The disable keyword is supported on the fiber ports only. Use the no form of this command to remove this setting and return control of UDLD to the udld (global configuration mode) command.

If the port changes from fiber to nonfiber or vice versa, all configurations will be maintained because of a change of module or a GBIC change detected by the platform software.

Examples

This example shows how to cause any port interface to enable UDLD, despite the current global udld (global configuration mode) setting:

Switch (config-if)# udld enable

Switch (config-if)#

This example shows how to cause any port interface to enable UDLD in aggressive mode, despite the current global udld (enable or aggressive) setting:

username

To establish a username-based authentication system, use the username command.

username name secret {0 | 5} password

Syntax Description


name	User ID of the user.
secret 0 \| 5	Specifies the authentication system for the user; valid values are 0 (text immediately following is not encrypted) and 5 (text immediately following is encrypted using an MD5-type encryption method).
password	Password of the user.

Defaults

No username-based authentication system is established.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable enhanced password security for the specified username. This command enables MD5 encryption on the password. MD5 encryption is a strong encryption method that is not retrievable. You cannot use MD5 encryption with protocols that require clear-text passwords, such as CHAP.

You can use this command for defining usernames that get special treatment. For example, you can define an "info" username that does not require a password but that connects the user to a general-purpose information service.

The username command provides both username and secret authentication for login purposes only.

The name argument can be only one word. White spaces and quotation marks are not allowed.

You can use multiple username commands to specify options for a single user.

For information about additional username commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Command Reference.

Examples

This example shows how to specify an MD5 encryption on a password (warrior) for a username (xena):

Switch(config)# username xena secret 5 warrior

verify

To verify the checksum of a file on a Flash memory file system, use the verify command.

verify [/md5] [flash-filesystem:] [filename] [expected-md5-signature]

Syntax Description


/md5	(Optional) Verifies the MD5 signatures.
flash-filesystem:	(Optional) Device where the Flash resides; valid values are bootflash:, slot0:, flash:, or sup-bootflash:.
filename	(Optional) Name of the Cisco IOS image.
expected-md5-signature	(Optional) MD5 signature.

Defaults

The current working device is specified.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

Each software image that is distributed on the disk uses a single checksum for the entire image. This checksum is displayed only when the image is copied into the Flash memory.

The Readme file, which is included with the image on the disk, lists the name, file size, and checksum of the image. Review the contents of the Readme file before loading or duplicating the new image so that you can verify the checksum when you copy it into the Flash memory or on to a server.

Use the verify /md5 command to verify the MD5 signature of a file before using it. This command validates the integrity of a copied file by comparing a precomputed MD5 signature with the signature that is computed by this command. If the two MD5 signatures match, the copied file is identical to the original file.

You can find the MD5 signature posted on the Cisco.com page with the image.

You can use the verify /md5 command in one of the following ways:

•Verify the MD5 signatures manually by entering the verify /md5 filename command.

Check the displayed signature against the MD5 signature posted on the Cisco.com page.

•Allow the system to compare the MD5 signatures by entering the verify /md5 {flash-filesystem:filename} {expected-md5-signature} command.

After completing the comparison, the system returns with a verified message. If an error is detected, the output is similar to the following:

Switch# verify /md5 slot0:c4-jsv-mz 0f

 ..................................

 ..................................

 ..................................

 ..................................

 ..................................

 ...............................Done!

 %Error verifying slot0:c4-jsv-mz

 Computed signature  = 0f369ed9e98756f179d4f29d6e7755d3

 Submitted signature = 0f

To display the contents of the Flash memory, enter the show flash command. The Flash contents listing does not include the checksum of the individual files. To recompute and verify the image checksum after the image has been copied into the Flash memory, enter the verify command.

A colon (:) is required after the specified device.

Examples

This example shows how to use the verify command:

Switch# verify cat6k_r47_1.cbi

..........................................................

File cat6k_r47_1.cbi verified OK.

Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

VLAN 1 parameters are factory configured and cannot be changed.

When you define vlan-name, the name must be unique within the administrative domain.

The SAID is documented in 802.10. When the no form is used, the VLANs SAID is returned to the default.

When you define the said-value, the name must be unique within the administrative domain.

The bridge bridge-number argument is used only for Token Ring-net and FDDI-net VLANs and is ignored in other types of VLANs. When the no form is used, the VLANs source-route bridging number returns to the default.

The parent VLAN resets to the default if the parent VLAN is deleted or the media keyword changes the VLAN type or the VLAN type of the parent VLAN.

The tb-vlan1 and tb-vlan2 are used to configure translational bridge VLANs of a specified type of VLAN and are not allowed in other types of VLANs. The translational bridge VLANs must be a different VLAN type than the affected VLAN; if two VLANs are specified, the two must be different VLAN types.

A translational bridge VLAN will reset to the default if the translational bridge VLAN is deleted or the media keyword changes the VLAN type or the VLAN type of the corresponding translational bridge VLAN.

Examples

This example shows how to add a new VLAN with all the default parameters to the new VLAN database:

Switch(vlan)# vlan 2

Note If the VLAN already exists, no action occurs.

This example shows how to cause the device to add a new VLAN, specify the media type and parent VLAN ID number 3, and set all the other parameters to the defaults:

Switch(vlan)# vlan 2 media fastethernet parent 3

VLAN 2 modified:

    Media type FASTETHERNET

    Parent VLAN 3

This example shows how to delete VLAN 2:

Switch(vlan)# no vlan 2

Switch(vlan)#

This example shows how to return the MTU to the default for its type and the translational bridging VLANs to the default:

Switch(vlan)# no vlan 2 mtu tb-vlan1 tb-vlan2

Switch(vlan)#

vlan dot1q tag native

To enable tagging of the native VLAN frames on all 802.1Q trunk ports, use the vlan dot1q tag native command. To disable tagging of native VLAN frames, use the no form of this command.

vlan dot1q tag native

no vlan dot1q tag native

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

802.1Q native VLAN tagging is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.2(18)EW	This command was first introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

When enabled, the native VLAN packets exiting all 802.1Q trunk ports are tagged unless the port is explicitly configured to disable native VLAN tagging.

When disabled, the native VLAN packets exiting all 802.1Q trunk ports are not tagged.

You can use this command with 802.1Q tunneling. This feature operates on an edge switch of a service-provider network and expands VLAN space by using a VLAN-in-VLAN hierarchy and by tagging the tagged packets. You must use the 802.1Q trunk ports for sending out the packets to the service-provider network. However, the packets going through the core of the service-provider network might also be carried on the 802.1Q trunks. If the native VLANs of an 802.1Q trunk match the native VLAN of a tunneling port on the same switch, the traffic on the native VLAN is not tagged on the sending trunk port. This command ensures that the native VLAN packets on all 802.1Q trunk ports are tagged.

Examples

This example shows how to enable 802.1Q tagging on the native VLAN frames and verify the configuration:

Switch# config terminal

Switch (config)# vlan dot1q tag native

Switch (config)# end

Switch# show vlan dot1q tag native

dot1q native vlan tagging is enabled

vlan filter map-name {vlan-list vlan-list}

no vlan filter map-name {vlan-list [vlan-list]}

Syntax Description


map-name	VLAN access-map tag.
vlan-list vlan-list	Specifies the VLAN list; see the "Usage Guidelines" section for valid values.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(12c)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

When configuring an action clause in a VLAN access map, note the following:

•You can apply the VLAN access map to one or more VLANs.

•The vlan-list parameter can be a single VLAN ID, a list of VLAN IDs, or VLAN ID ranges (vlan-id-vlan-id). Multiple entries are separated by (-), (hyphen), or (,) (comma).

•You can apply only one VLAN access map to each VLAN.

When entering the no form of this command, the vlan-list parameter is optional (but the keyword vlan-list is required). If you do not enter the vlan-list parameter, the VACL is removed from all the VLANs where the map-name is applied.

Examples

This example shows how to apply a VLAN access map on VLANs 7 through 9:

Switch(config)# vlan filter ganymede vlan-list 7-9

Switch(config)#

vlan internal allocation policy

Use the vlan internal allocation policy command to configure the internal VLAN allocation scheme. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

vlan internal allocation policy {ascending | descending}

no vlan internal allocation policy

Syntax Description


ascending	Specifies to allocate internal VLANs from 1006 to 4094.
descending	Specifies to allocate internal VLANs from 4094 to 1006.

Defaults

The default is the ascending allocation scheme.

Command Modes

Global configuration mode

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(19)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure internal VLAN allocation to be from 1006 and up or from 4094 and down.

The internal VLANs and user-configured VLANs share the 1006 to 4094 VLAN spaces. A "first come, first served" policy is used in allocating these spaces.

The vlan internal allocation policy command allows you to configure the allocation direction of the internal VLAN.

During system bootup, the internal VLANs that are required for features in the startup-config file are allocated first. The user-configured VLANs in the startup-config file are configured next. If you configure a VLAN that conflicts with an existing internal VLAN, the VLAN that you configured is put into a nonoperational status until the internal VLAN is freed and becomes available.

After you enter the write mem command and the system reloads, the reconfigured allocation scheme is used by the port manager.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the VLANs in a descending order as the internal VLAN allocation policy:

Switch(config)# vlan internal allocation policy descending

Switch(config)#

To configure the primary VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) and up to three secondary servers, use the vmps server command. To remove a VMPS server, use the no form of this command.

vmps server ipaddress [primary]

no vmps server ipaddress

Syntax Description


ipaddress	IP address or host name of the primary or secondary VMPS servers. If you specify a hostname, the Domain Name System (DNS) server must be configured.
primary	(Optional) Determines whether primary or secondary VMPS servers are being configured.

Defaults

No primary or secondary VMPS servers are defined.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(4)EA1	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The first server that you entered is automatically selected as the primary server whether or not primary is entered. You can override the first server address by using primary in a subsequent command.

If a member switch in a cluster configuration does not have an IP address, the cluster does not use the VMPS server that is configured for that member switch. Instead, the cluster uses the VMPS server on the command switch, and the command switch proxies the VMPS requests. The VMPS server treats the cluster as a single switch and uses the IP address of the command switch to respond to requests.

When using the no form without specifying the ipaddress, all configured servers are deleted. If you delete all servers when dynamic-access ports are present, the switch cannot forward the packets from the new sources on these ports because it cannot query the VMPS.

You can verify your setting by entering the show vmps command and examining information in the VMPS Domain Server row.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the server with IP address 191.10.49.20 as the primary VMPS server. The servers with IP addresses 191.10.49.21 and 191.10.49.22 are configured as secondary servers:

Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.20 primary

Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.21

Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.22

Switch(config)#

This example shows how to delete the server with IP address 191.10.49.21:

Switch(config)# no vmps server 191.10.49.21

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

You cannot use the vtp file command to load a new database. You can use it only to rename the file in which the existing database is stored.

You can use the vtp if-id command to specify the name of the interface providing the VTP updater ID for this device. The VTP updater is the device that adds, deletes, or modifies VLANs to a network, and triggers a VTP updater to inform the rest of the system of the changes.

12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

If the receiving switch is in client mode, the client switch changes its configuration to duplicate the configuration of the server. If you have switches in client mode, make sure to make all VTP or VLAN configuration changes on a switch in server mode.

The vtp server command is the functional equivalent of no vtp client except that it does not return an error if the device is not in client mode.

Examples

This example shows how to place the device in VTP client mode:

Switch(vlan-config)# vtp client

Switch(vlan-config)#

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Modes

Command History


Release	Modification
12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

When you define the domain-name, the domain name is case sensitive and can be from 1 to 32 characters.

You must set a domain name before you can transmit any VTP advertisements.

Even if you do not set a domain name, the device will leave the no-management-domain state upon receiving the first VTP summary packet on any port that is currently trunking.

If the device receives its domain from a summary packet, it resets its configuration revision number to zero. Once the device leaves the no-management-domain state, it can never be configured to reenter the number except by cleaning NVRAM and reloading.

Examples

This example shows how to set the devices administrative domain:

Switch(vlan-config)# vtp domain DomainChandon

Switch(vlan-config)#

12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

If you make a change to the VTP or VLAN configuration on a switch in server mode, that change is propagated to all the switches in the same VTP domain.

You can set VTP to either server or client mode only when you disable dynamic VLAN creation.

If the receiving switch is in server mode, the configuration is not changed.

The vtp server command is the functional equivalent of no vtp client, except that it does not return an error if the device is not in client mode.

12.1(8a)EW	Support for this command was introduced on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.

Usage Guidelines

The vtp transparent command disables VTP from the domain but does not remove the domain from the switch.

If the receiving switch is in transparent mode, the configuration is not changed. The switches in transparent mode do not participate in VTP. If you make VTP or VLAN configuration changes on a switch in transparent mode, the changes are not propagated to the other switches in the network.

The vtp server command is similar to the no vtp transparent command, except that it does not return an error if the device is not in transparent mode.

Examples

This example shows how to place the device in VTP transparent mode:

Switch(vlan-config)# vtp transparent

Switch(vlan-config)#

This example shows how to return the device to VTP server mode:

Switch(vlan-config)# no vtp transparent
