This switch provides a broad range of features for Layer 2 switching. It includes a management agent that allows you to configure the features listed in this manual. The default configuration can be used for most of the features provided by this switch. However, there are many options that you should configure to maximize the switch’s performance for your particular...
Multicast Filtering Supports IGMP snooping and query Description of Software Features The switch provides a wide range of advanced performance enhancing features. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to bottlenecks caused by port saturation. Broadcast storm suppression prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network.
Page 29
Use the full-duplex mode on ports whenever possible to double the throughput of switch connections. Flow control should also be enabled to control network traffic during periods of congestion and prevent the loss of packets when port buffer thresholds are exceeded.
Page 30
Static Addresses – A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this switch. Static addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.
Page 31
ESCRIPTION OF OFTWARE EATURES To avoid dropping frames on congested ports, the switch provides 1 MB for frame buffering. This buffer can queue packets awaiting transmission on congested networks. Spanning Tree Protocol – The switch supports these spanning tree protocols: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, IEEE 802.1D) –...
Page 32
NTRODUCTION Virtual LANs – The switch supports up to 255 VLANs. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. The switch supports tagged VLANs based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
System Defaults The switch’s system defaults are provided in the configuration file “Factory_Default_Config.cfg.” To reset the switch defaults, this file should be set as the startup configuration file (page 3-25). The following table lists some of the basic system defaults.

Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and passwords. The switch has a default user name and password for each level. To log into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using the default user name and password, perform these steps: 1.
DHCP address allocation servers on the network. Manual Configuration You can manually assign an IP address to the switch. You may also need to specify a default gateway that resides between this device and management stations on another network segment. Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
Before you can assign an IP address to the switch, you must obtain the following information from your network administrator: • IP address for the switch • Default gateway for the network • Network mask for this network To assign an IP address to the switch, complete the following steps: 1.
Page 44
ONFIGURATION If the “bootp” or “dhcp” option is saved to the startup-config file (step 6), then the switch will start broadcasting service requests as soon as it is powered on. To automatically configure the switch by communicating with BOOTP or...
The switch can be configured to accept management commands from Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications such as SMC EliteView. You can configure the switch to (1) respond to SNMP requests or (2) generate SNMP traps. When SNMP management stations send requests to the switch (either to return information or to set a parameter), the switch provides the requested data or sets the specified parameter.
Page 46
If there are no community strings, then SNMP management access to the switch is disabled. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch via SNMP, it is recommended that you change the default community strings. To configure a community string, complete the following steps: 1.
“community-string” is the string associated with that host. Press <Enter>. 2. In order to configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server enable traps command. Type “snmp-server enable traps type,” where “type” is either authentication or link-up-down.
Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system boot-up, also known as POST (Power On Self-Test). Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only two operation code files. However, you can have as many diagnostic code files and configuration files as available flash memory space allows.

Page 93
The switch compares the client's public key to those stored in memory. c. If a match is found, the switch uses the public key to encrypt a random sequence of bytes, and sends this string to the client. d. The client uses its private key to decrypt the bytes, and sends the decrypted bytes back to the switch.
Generating the Host Key Pair A host public/private key pair is used to provide secure communications between an SSH client and the switch. After generating this key pair, you must provide the host public key to SSH clients and import the client’s public key to the switch as described in the proceeding section (Command Usage).

ACL must be deny rules. Otherwise, the bind operation will fail. • The switch does not support the explicit “deny any any” rule for the egress IP ACL or the egress MAC ACLs. If these rules are included in ACL, and you attempt to bind the ACL to an interface for egress checking, the bind operation will fail.
The order in which active ACLs are checked is as follows: 1. User-defined rules in the Egress MAC ACL for egress ports. 2. User-defined rules in the Egress IP ACL for egress ports. 3. User-defined rules in the Ingress MAC ACL for ingress ports. 4.
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Click Security, ACL, Configuration. Enter an ACL name in the Name field, select the list type (IP Standard, IP Extended, or MAC), and click Add to open the configuration page for the new list.

For example, use the code value and mask below to catch packets with the following flags set: SYN flag valid, use control-code 2, control bitmask 2 Both SYN and ACK valid, use control-code 18, control bitmask SYN valid and ACK invalid, use control-code 2, control bitmask Web –...
ONFIGURING THE WITCH CLI – This example adds three rules: 1. Accept any incoming packets if the source address is in subnet 10.7.1.x. For example, if the rule is matched; i.e., the rule (10.7.1.0 & 255.255.255.0) equals the masked address (10.7.1.2 & 255.255.255.0), the packet passes through.
Page 117
• Ethernet Type – This option can only be used to filter Ethernet II formatted packets. (Range: 600-fff hex.) A detailed listing of Ethernet protocol types can be found in RFC 1060. A few of the more common types include 0800 (IP), 0806 (ARP), 8137 (IPX).
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Specify the action (i.e., Permit or Deny). Specify the source and/or destination addresses. Select the address type (Any, Host, or MAC). If you select “Host,” enter a specific address (e.g., 11-22-33-44-55-66). If you select “MAC,” enter a base address and a hexidecimal bitmask for an address range.
Configuring ACL Masks You must specify masks that control the order in which ACL rules are checked. The switch includes two system default masks that pass/filter packets matching the permit/deny rules specified in an ingress ACL. You must also configure up to seven user-defined masks for an ingress or egress ACL.
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Click Security, ACL, Mask Configuration. Click Edit for one of the basic mask types to open the configuration page. CLI – This example creates an IP ingress mask, and then adds two rules. Each rule is checked in order of precedence to look for a match in the ACL entries.
Page 121
Command Attributes • Src/Dst IP – Specifies the source or destination IP address. Use “Any” to match any address, “Host” to specify a host address (not a subnet), or “IP” to specify a range of addresses. (Options: Any, Host, IP; Default: Any) •...
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Configure the mask to match the required rules in the IP ingress or egress ACLs. Set the mask to check for any source or destination address, a specific host address, or an address range. Include other criteria to search for in the rules, such as a protocol type or one of the service types.
CLI – This shows that the entries in the mask override the precedence in which the rules are entered into the ACL. In the following example, packets with the source address 10.1.1.1 are dropped because the “deny 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255” rule has the higher precedence according the “mask host any”...
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Web – Configure the mask to match the required rules in the MAC ingress or egress ACLs. Set the mask to check for any source or destination address, a host address, or an address range. Use a bitmask to search for specific VLAN ID(s) or Ethernet type(s).
• This switch supports ACLs for both ingress and egress filtering. However, you can only bind one IP ACL and one MAC ACL to any port for ingress filtering, and one IP ACL and one MAC ACL to any port for egress filtering.
ACL must be deny rules. Otherwise, the bind operation will fail. • The switch does not support the explicit “deny any any” rule for the egress IP ACL or the egress MAC ACLs. If these rules are included in ACL, and you attempt to bind the ACL to an interface for egress checking, the bind operation will fail.
• If anyone tries to access a management interface on the switch from an invalid address, the switch will reject the connection, enter an event message in the system log, and send a trap message to the trap manager.

Page 167
ONFIGURATION STA uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device (STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root of the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging device (except for the root device) which incurs the lowest path cost when forwarding a packet from that device to the root device.
STA Information screen. Field Attributes • Spanning Tree State – Shows if the switch is enabled to participate in an STA-compliant network. • Bridge ID – A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the bridge priority and MAC address (where the address is taken from the switch system).

• MST Path Cost – This parameter is used by the MSTP to determine the best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower media. (Path cost takes precedence over port priority.) Note that when the Path Cost Method is set to short (page 3-63), the maximum path cost is 65,535.
IEEE 802.1Q VLANs In large networks, routers are used to isolate broadcast traffic for each subnet into separate domains. This switch provides a similar service at Layer 2 by using VLANs to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks.
Priority tagging Assigning Ports to VLANs Before enabling VLANs for the switch, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN 1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you...
Page 194
VLAN Classification – When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the frame is untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default VLAN ID of the receiving port).
Page 195
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN protocol, it can be configured to broadcast a message to your network indicating the VLAN groups it wants to join. When this switch receives these messages, it will automatically place the receiving port in the specified VLANs, and then forward the message to all other ports.
When forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that contains any VLAN-aware devices, the switch should include VLAN tags. When forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that does not contain any VLAN-aware devices (including the destination host), the switch must first strip off the VLAN tag before forwarding the frame.

VLAN. Data traffic on downlink ports can only be forwarded to, and from, uplink ports. (Note that private VLANs and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same switch.) Enabling Private VLANs Use the Private VLAN Status page to enable/disable the Private VLAN function.
Use the Private VLAN Link Status page to set ports as downlink or uplink ports. Ports designated as downlink ports can not communicate with any other ports on the switch except for the uplink ports. Uplink ports can communicate with any other ports on the switch and with any designated downlink ports.
VLANs, including security and easy accessibility. To avoid these problems, you can configure this switch with protocol-based VLANs that divide the physical network into logical VLAN groups for each required protocol. When a frame is received at a port, its VLAN membership can then be determined based on the protocol type being used by the inbound packets.
ONFIGURING THE WITCH • Protocol Type – The only option for the LLC_other frame type is IPX_raw. The options for all other frames types include: IP, ARP, RARP. Web – Click VLAN, Protocol VLAN, Configuration. Enter a protocol group ID, frame type and protocol type, then click Apply. CLI –...
• When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the following manner: - If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to tagged frames. - If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the appropriate VLAN.
Layer 2 Queue Settings Setting the Default Priority for Interfaces You can specify the default port priority for each interface on the switch. All untagged packets entering the switch are tagged with the specified default port priority, and then sorted into the appropriate priority queue at the output port.
Command Attributes • Default Priority received on the specified interface. (Range: 0 - 7, Default: 0) • Number of Egress Traffic Classes – The number of queue buffers provided for each port. Web – Click Priority, Default Port Priority or Default Trunk Priority. Modify the default priority for any interface, then click Apply.

Priority Queue: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Console# Note: Mapping specific values for CoS priorities is implemented as an interface configuration command, but any changes will apply to the all interfaces on the switch. LASS OF Figure 3-71 Traffic Classes ERVICE...
WITCH Selecting the Queue Mode You can set the switch to service the queues based on a strict rule that requires all traffic in a higher priority queue to be processed before lower priority queues are serviced, or use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing that specifies a relative weight of each queue.
Setting the Service Weight for Traffic Classes This switch uses the Weighted Round Robin (WRR) algorithm to determine the frequency at which it services each priority queue. As described in “Mapping CoS Values to Egress Queues” on page 3-166, the traffic classes are mapped to one of the eight egress queues provided for each port.
Because different priority information may be contained in the traffic, this switch maps priority values to the output queues in the following manner: • The precedence for priority mapping is IP Port Priority, IP Precedence or DSCP Priority, and then Default Port Priority.
Selecting IP Precedence/DSCP Priority The switch allows you to choose between using IP Precedence or DSCP priority. Select one of the methods or disable this feature. Command Attributes • Disabled – Disables both priority services. (This is the default setting.) •...
ONFIGURING THE WITCH Mapping IP Precedence The Type of Service (ToS) octet in the IPv4 header includes three precedence bits defining eight different priority levels ranging from highest priority for network control packets to lowest priority for routine traffic. The default IP Precedence values are mapped one-to-one to Class of Service values (i.e., Precedence value 0 maps to CoS value 0, and so forth).

An ACL is a sequential list of permit or deny conditions that apply to IP addresses, MAC addresses, or other more specific criteria. This switch tests ingress or egress packets against the conditions in an ACL one by one. A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny rule.
Page 364
• The switch does not support the explicit “deny any any” rule for the egress IP ACL or the egress MAC ACLs. If these rules are included in an ACL, and you attempt to bind the ACL to an interface for egress checking, the bind operation will fail.
Masks for Access Control Lists You can specify optional masks that control the order in which ACL rules are checked. The switch includes two system default masks that pass/filter packets matching the permit/deny rules specified in an ingress ACL. You can also configure up to seven user-defined masks for an ACL.

For static trunks, the switches have to comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard. For dynamic trunks, the switches have to comply with LACP. This switch supports up to six trunks. For example, a trunk consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex.
Guidelines for Creating Trunks General Guidelines • Finish configuring port trunks before you connect the corresponding network cables between switches to avoid creating a loop. • A trunk can have up to eight ports. • The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as trunk ports.
• When configuring static trunks, the switches must comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard. • Use no channel-group to remove a port group from a trunk. • Use no interfaces port-channel to remove a trunk from the switch. Example The following example creates trunk 1 and then adds port 11.
Page 437
• A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned the next available port-channel ID. • If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the trunk will be activated automatically. • If more than four ports attached to the same target switch have LACP enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.
Page 438
OMMAND NTERFACE Example The following shows LACP enabled on ports 10-12. Because LACP has also been enabled on the ports at the other end of the links, the show interfaces status port-channel 1 command shows that Trunk1 has been established. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/10 Console(config-if)#lacp Console(config-if)#exit...

• By default all VLANs are assigned to the Internal Spanning Tree (MSTI 0) that connects all bridges and LANs within the MST region. This switch supports up to 58 instances. You should try to group VLANs which cover the same general area of your network. However,...
OMMAND NTERFACE Region (page 4-217) with the same set of instances, and the same instance (on each bridge) with the same set of VLANs. Also, note that RSTP treats each MSTI region as a single node, connecting all regions to the Common Spanning Tree. Example Console(config-mstp)#mst 1 vlan 2-5 Console(config-mstp)#...
• You can set this switch to act as the MSTI root device by specifying a priority of 0, or as the MSTI alternate device by specifying a priority of 16384. Example Console(config-mstp)#mst 1 priority 4096 Console(config-mstp)# name This command configures the name for the multiple spanning tree region in which this switch is located.
The MST region name (page 4-217) and revision number are used to designate a unique MST region. A bridge (i.e., spanning-tree compliant device such as this switch) can only belong to one MST region. And all bridges in the same region must be configured with the same MST instances.
Default Setting Command Mode MST Configuration Command Usage A MSTI region is treated as a single node by the STP and RSTP protocols. Therefore, the message age for BPDUs inside a MSTI region is never changed. However, each spanning tree instance within a region, and the internal spanning tree (IST) that connects these instances use a hop count to specify the maximum number of bridges that will propagate a BPDU.
OMMAND NTERFACE Example This example disables the spanning tree algorithm for port 5. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5 Console(config-if)#spanning-tree spanning-disabled Console(config-if)# spanning-tree cost This command configures the spanning tree path cost for the specified interface.

Syntax [no] spanning-tree portfast Default Setting Disabled Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel) Command Usage • This command is used to enable/disable the fast spanning-tree mode for the selected port.
• When automatic detection is selected, the switch derives the link type from the duplex mode. A full-duplex interface is considered a point-to-point link, while a half-duplex interface is assumed to be on a shared link.
spanning-tree mst cost This command configures the path cost on a spanning instance in the Multiple Spanning Tree. Use the no form to restore the default. Syntax spanning-tree mst instance_id cost cost no spanning-tree mst instance_id cost • instance_id - Instance identifier of the spanning tree. (Range: 1-4094, no leading zeroes) •...
Command Usage • This command defines the priority for the use of an interface in the multiple spanning-tree. If the path cost for all interfaces on a switch are the same, the interface with the highest priority (that is, lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree.
Command Mode Privileged Exec Command Usage If at any time the switch detects STP BPDUs, including Configuration or Topology Change Notification BPDUs, it will automatically set the selected interface to forced STP-compatible mode. However, you can also use the spanning-tree protocol-migration command at any time to manually re-check the appropriate BPDU format to send on the selected interfaces (i.e., RSTP or STP-compatible).
Command Usage • Use the show spanning-tree command with no parameters to display the spanning tree configuration for the switch for the Common Spanning Tree (CST) and for every interface in the tree. • Use the show spanning-tree interface command to display the spanning tree configuration for an interface within the Common Spanning Tree (CST).

VLAN Commands A VLAN is a group of ports that can be located anywhere in the network, but communicate as though they belong to the same physical segment. This section describes commands used to create VLAN groups, add port members, specify how VLAN tagging is used, and enable automatic VLAN registration for the selected interface.
OMMAND NTERFACE vlan database This command enters VLAN database mode. All commands in this mode will take effect immediately. Default Setting None Command Mode Global Configuration Command Usage • Use the VLAN database command mode to add, change, and delete VLANs.
• no vlan vlan-id name removes the VLAN name. • no vlan vlan-id state returns the VLAN to the default state (i.e., active). • You can configure up to 255 VLANs on the switch. Example The following example adds a VLAN, using VLAN ID 105 and name RD5.
Command Mode Global Configuration Example The following example shows how to set the interface configuration mode to VLAN 1, and then assign an IP address to the VLAN: Console(config)#interface vlan 1 Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 Console(config-if)# Related Commands shutdown (4 -174) switchport mode This command configures the VLAN membership mode for a port.

VLAN groups as a tagged member. • Frames are always tagged within the switch. The tagged/untagged parameter used when adding a VLAN to an interface tells the switch whether to keep or remove the tag from a frame on egress.
OMMAND NTERFACE • If a VLAN on the forbidden list for an interface is manually added to that interface, the VLAN is automatically removed from the forbidden list for that interface. Example The following example shows how to add VLANs 1, 2, 5 and 6 to the allowed list as tagged VLANs for port 1.
Example The following example shows how to prevent port 1 from being added to VLAN 3. Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 Console(config-if)#switchport forbidden vlan add 3 Console(config-if)# Displaying VLAN Information Command show vlan show interfaces status vlan show interfaces switchport show vlan This command shows VLAN information.
VLANs, including security and easy accessibility. To avoid these problems, you can configure this switch with protocol-based VLANs that divide the physical network into logical VLAN groups for each required protocol. When a frame is received at a port, its VLAN membership can then be determined based on the protocol type in use by the inbound packets.
To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps: 1. First configure VLAN groups for the protocols you want to use (page -233). Although not mandatory, we suggest configuring a separate VLAN for each major protocol running on your network. Do not add port members at this time. 2.
OMMAND NTERFACE Example The following creates protocol group 1, and specifies Ethernet frames with IP and ARP protocol types. Console(config)#protocol-vlan protocol-group 1 add frame_type ethernet protocol-type ip Console(config)#protocol-vlan protocol-group 1 add frame_type ethernet protocol-type arp Console(config)# protocol-vlan protocol-group (Configuring Interfaces) This command maps a protocol group to a VLAN for the current interface.
• When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the following manner: - If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to tagged frames. - If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the appropriate VLAN.
OMMAND NTERFACE Example This shows protocol group 1 configured for IP over Ethernet. Console#show protocol-vlan protocol-group ProtocolGroup ID ------------------ ------------- --------------- Console# show interfaces protocol-vlan protocol-group This command shows the mapping from protocol groups to VLANs for the selected interfaces.

Multicast Filtering Commands This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to query for any attached hosts that want to receive a specific multicast service. It identifies the ports containing hosts requesting a service and sends data out to those ports only. It then propagates the service request up to any neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will continue to receive the multicast service.
OMMAND NTERFACE ip igmp snooping This command enables IGMP snooping on this switch. Use the no form to disable it. Syntax [no] ip igmp snooping Default Setting Enabled Command Mode Global Configuration Example The following example enables IGMP snooping. Console(config)#ip igmp snooping...
• All systems on the subnet must support the same version.

- The time the switch waits after the previous querier stops before it considers the router port (i.e., the interface which had been receiving query packets) to have expired.
Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier. Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/switch connected over the network to an interface (port or trunk) on your router, you can manually configure that interface to join all the current multicast groups.
Example The following shows how to configure port 11 as a multicast router port within VLAN 1: Console(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 1 mrouter ethernet 1/11 Console(config)# show ip igmp snooping mrouter This command displays information on statically configured and dynamically learned multicast router ports.
