Preface The H3C firewall devices configuration guides (Comware V7) describe the software features and configuration procedures for the Comware V7-based firewall devices in "Applicable devices." These guides also provide configuration examples to help you apply software features to different network scenarios.

The maximum number of interface range names is limited only by the system resources. To • guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, H3C recommends that you configure fewer than 1000 interface range names. After a command is executed in interface range view, one of the following situations might occur: •...

Configuring Ethernet interfaces Your device supports the following types of Ethernet interfaces: Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the data link layer (Layer 2) • to switch packets. Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the network layer (Layer 3) to •...
If the copper port is active, the combo enable fiber command does not exist in the output. Changing the active port of a combo interface Step Command Remarks Enter system view. system-view interface interface-type Enter Ethernet interface view. interface-number Activate the copper combo By default, the copper combo port combo enable { copper | fiber } port or fiber combo port.
After you change the link mode of an Ethernet interface, all commands (except the shutdown and combo enable commands) on the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults in the new link mode. The following matrix shows the feature and hardware compatibility: Hardware Link mode configuration compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000...
Configuring jumbo frame support The following matrix shows the feature and hardware compatibility: Hardware Jumbo frame support compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000 An Ethernet interface might receive frames larger than the standard Ethernet frame size during high-throughput data exchanges, such as file transfers. These frames are called jumbo frames.
Do not enable this feature on an interface with MSTP enabled. The following matrix shows the feature and hardware compatibility: Hardware Physical state change suppression compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000 The physical link state of an Ethernet interface is either up or down. Each time the physical link of an interface comes up or goes down, the interface immediately reports the change to the CPU.
Step Command Remarks By default, physical state change suppression is disabled on an Ethernet interface. You can configure different suppression intervals Configure physical link-delay [ msec ] for link-up and link-down events. state change delay-time [ mode { up | If you configure this command multiple times for suppression.

Hardware Loopback test compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000 If an Ethernet interface does not work correctly, you can perform a loopback test on it to identify the problem. An Ethernet interface in a loopback test does not forward data traffic. Loopback tests include the following types: Internal loopback test—Tests all on-chip functions associated with the Ethernet interface.

Forcibly bringing up a fiber port The following matrix shows the feature and hardware compatibility: Hardware Forcibly bringing up fiber ports compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000 As shown in Figure 2, a fiber port uses separate fibers for transmitting and receiving packets. The physical state of the fiber port is up only when both transmit and receive fibers are physically connected.

Figure 2 Forcibly bring up a fiber port Configuration restrictions and guidelines When you forcibly bring up a fiber port, follow these restrictions and guidelines: • The port up-mode command is mutually exclusive with the shutdown command. A fiber port forcibly brought up stays physically up whether or not a transceiver module or a fiber •...
For a combo interface, only its copper combo port supports this feature. The following matrix shows the feature and hardware compatibility: Hardware Speed autonegotiation options compatibility F5020/F5040 M9006/M9010/M9014 VFW1000 By default, speed autonegotiation enables an Ethernet interface to negotiate with its peer for the highest speed that both ends support.
To avoid congestion on GigabitEthernet 1/0/4, configure 100 Mbps as the only option available for speed negotiation on interfaces GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3. As a result, the transmission rate on each interface connected to a server is limited to 100 Mbps. To set speed options for autonegotiation on an Ethernet interface: Step Command...

Configuring loopback, null, and inloopback interfaces This chapter describes how to configure a loopback interface, a null interface, and an inloopback interface. Configuring a loopback interface A loopback interface is a virtual interface. The physical layer state of a loopback interface is always up unless the loopback interface is manually shut down.
Configuring a null interface A null interface is a virtual interface and is always up, but you cannot use it to forward data packets or configure it with an IP address or link layer protocol. The null interface provides a simpler way to filter packets than ACL.
