Chapter 36 Configuring Switch Acceleration

Configuring Switch Acceleration on the Switch

By default, switch acceleration is disabled on the Supervisor Engine II. Before you enable switch
acceleration, you must disable the two front-panel Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on Supervisor
Engine II.

Enabling Switch Acceleration

To enable switch acceleration, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Disable front-panel Gigabit Ethernet ports. set port disable mod_num/port_num
Step 2
Enable switch acceleration.
This example shows how to enable switch acceleration on the switch:
Console> (enable) set port disable 1/1-2
Port(s) 1/1-2 disabled.
Console> (enable) set switchacceleration enable 1
Enabling or Disabling switch acceleration may impact performance for 1-2 seconds.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Switch Acceleration on module 1 enabled.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to disable switch acceleration on the switch:
Console> (enable) set switchacceleration disable 1
Enabling or Disabling switch acceleration may impact performance for 1-2 seconds.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Switch Acceleration on module 1 disabled.
Console> (enable)

Displaying Switch-Acceleration Information

To display the switch-acceleration status, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Display the switch-acceleration status.
This example shows how to display the switch-acceleration status:
Console> show switchacceleration 1
Module 1 has switch acceleration enabled.
