1.1 Features
The XG700 is a compact, 12-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch, which provides the world's highest level throughput and least delay. Special features of the XG700 are shown below:
Item Function Features
Throughput 240Gbit/s Latency 450ns Switching mode Either store-and-forward or cut-through is selectable. MAC address learning table size
8192 entries
MAC address learning SVL (Shared VLAN Learning), IVL (Independent VLAN Learning),
user selectable. Jumbo frame support Up to 15KB. Flow control IEEE802.3x compliant pause frame control. Possible to specify flow
control options for each port: send/receive or receive only. Storm control Detects the broadcast storm status to prevent the traffic from
overflowing the network and avoid degrading overall system
performance. Port security Possible to restrict port access based on a source MAC address. Ingress rate control Supports by-port ingress rate control. Port mirroring Possible to monitor the incoming/outgoing traffic by port mirroring.
Basic Switch Functions
Link pass through Possible to synchronize the link state of a monitored port with the
link state of a single or multiple ports. Link aggregation (Static and LACP)
Possible to increase bandwidth and redundancy. (Up to 6 ports for
each link).
Also supports IEE802.3ad LACP.
Scalability
Uplink Filter Filtering multicast, broadcast and unlearned unicast frames from
leaf nodes to uplink. Possible to configure fat tree using several XG
series.
Redundancy IEEE802.1D STP,
IEEE802.1w RSTP
Possible to make redundant and loop-free network using Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (upward compatible with Spanning Tree

2.1 Overview of the CLI
This section describes how to use the command line interface (CLI) for the XG Series.
2.1.1 Operating Environment for CLI
There are two ways to access the XG700 to run commands. Up to 4 terminal sessions can access the XG700 concurrently.
Serial connection
Connect to the serial port of the XG700 using RS232C cable. The available terminal type is VT100. When initially connecting a terminal to the XG700, configure the serial port on the client side as shown below.
Item Setting value
Baud rate 9600 bps (can be changed) Character size 8 bit Parity None Stop bits 1 bit Flow control None Emulation VT100 Character set ASCII Line feed code Transmission: CR (carriage return) only
Reception: LF is added
The baud rate can be changed to one of 9600, 19200, 38400 and 57600 (bps) using the "baud-rate" command.
Remote connection via management LAN port
Connect a terminal to the management LAN port of the XG700 using a telnet client (TCP port of 23 is used for the default telnet connection). The following tables list the factory defaults.
Management LAN Interface initial settings
Item Setting value
IP address None (must be set when using the management
LAN)
Subnet address None (must be set when using the management
LAN)
Telnet server initial settings
Item Setting value
Use telnet Disable (can be changed) Port number 23(TCP) Emulation VT100/VT200/xterm BackSpace key Delete Character set ASCII
To use the remote connection via management LAN port, use the "management-lan ip" command to configure the management LAN port for the XG700 and use the "telnet-server" command to enable the telnet service. VT100, VT200, and xterm can be used as a terminal.

2.1.2 Command Modes and Mode Switching
The following table shows a hierarchy of command modes and mode switching.
Command Modes and Prompt Text
(host name for XG700: xg)
Outline
Operator class The initial-level operating mode entered upon logging into the
system.
Operator EXEC mode
Prompt: xg>
Allows access to commands that have no effect on the switch operations. With the XG700, this mode is mainly used to view its status. The prompt changes to "xg>".
Administrator class To enter this level, use the "enable" command in the operator class
or type the administrator's authentication password.
Administrator EXEC mode Prompt: xg#
Allows users to perform operations that are related to the system management of the XG700, such as date/time setting and firmware update, in addition to those operations that are performed in the operator EXEC mode. The prompt changes to "xg#".
Global configuration mode
Prompt: xg(config)#
To switch to the global configuration mode, enter the "configure terminal" command in the administrator EXEC mode. This mode allows the user to define the environment settings for the XG700 that are to be saved in a configuration file. The prompt changes to "xg(config)#".
Interface edit mode
Prompt: xg(config-if)# or xg(config-agg)#
To enter the interface edit mode, enter the "interface" command in the global configuration mode. This mode allows the user to configure each port of the switch. The interface edit mode is represented by prompt "xg(config-if)#", while the edit mode for a port that is created with link aggregation function is represented by prompt "xg(config-agg)#".
Terminal edit mode
Prompt: xg(config-line)#
To enter the serial terminal edit mode, enter the "line console" command in the global configuration mode. The prompt changes to "xg(config-line)#". Baud rate of the serial terminal and screen display size can be set.
14/266

Entering a specific command allows switching from one mode to another. Entering the "exit" command will always take you back to the previous mode. Entering "end" command or pressing [Ctrl] and [Z] simultaneously in the global configuration, interface edit or terminal edit mode allows you to enter the administrator EXEC mode. An example is given below.
Login: admin password: ********
xg> enable
xg# configure terminal
xg(config)# interface port 1
xg(config-if)# exit
xg(config)# exit
xg# copy running-config startup-config
xg# exit
Switch to operator EXEC mode by performing a login operation. By default, the login username is "admin" and password "password".
Use the "enable" command to switch to administrator EXEC mode.
Use the "configure terminal" command to switch to global configuration mode. Use the "interface" command to switch to interface edit mode.
Use the "exit" command to return to global configuration mode.
Use the "exit" command to return to administrator EXEC mode.
Copy the current configuration file in memory to the startup-config in the nonvolatile memory. User is logged out and session is disconnected.
Multiple users can use the operator and administrator EXEC modes concurrently. (Up to 4 terminals) Only one terminal can switch to one of either global configuration, interface edit and terminal edit modes. It is not
possible for multiple terminals to simultaneously switch to global configuration mode.

2.1.3 startup-config and running-config
The XG700 configuration information is saved to startup-config and running-config files. This section describes the functions of the startup-config and running-config files.
startup-config
Startup-config is the configuration file that stores the environment settings that are enabled upon XG700 startup. The startup-config is saved in non-volatile memory and read the next time the XG700 begins to be used for the initial settings on the operating environment.
running-config
Running-config is a file stored in volatile memory that represents the operating environment of the system on which the XG700 is currently running. The information stored in the running-config will be lost when the system is restarted. To reflect the system configuration that is active in the current running-config the next time the system is started, use the "copy" command to save them to the startup-config file.
xg# copy running-config startup-config
The contents of the startup-config and running-config match immediately after the XG700 is started.
How to upload startup-config and running-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy" command.
xg# show running-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
or
xg# show startup-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
How to download startup-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy" command.
xg# copy tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE startup-config
To enable the settings downloaded to startup-config, restart the XG700 using the "reset" command.
Be sure to upload the contents of the startup-config file to a TFTP server because the contents will be
overwritten.
Refer to "Uploading/Downloading Configuration File
" for details on uploading and downloading
configuration.

2.2 Using the CLI
2.2.1 How to Enter Commands
Command Entry Format
Separate each command, subcommand and argument with a single space.
<command> <subcommand> <argument 1> <argument 2> ... (" " indicates a space.)
xg(config)# management-interface ip 192.168.1.10/24 default-gw 192.168.1.150 xg(config)# management-interface dns-server 192.168.1.150
Characters that can be entered:
− Any letter (A-Z, a-z) and digit (0-9)
− Space (ASCII code: 0x20)
− Symbols: !, ". #, $, %, `, ', (, ), _, -, ~, ^, ¥, {, }, :, +, ,, ., @, =, [, ], &, *, ;, /, ?, |, >
Command and option separators are recognized by one or more space characters (ASCII code: 0x20). Enclose a parameter in quotes if it contains a blank space. The commands are not case-sensitive. Note that some entries (password, etc.) are case-sensitive.
2.2.2 Context-Sensitive Help
Entering a question mark "?" during command entry displays a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also get a list of any command's associated keywords and parameters with the context-sensitive help.
A list of commands that are available in the current mode
Entering a question mark "?" at the system prompt displays a list of commands and brief descriptions available for the current command mode.
xg # ? Exec commands: boot-system Select system to restart clear Reset functions configure Enter configuration mode copy Copy from one file to another date Display or set current date-time delete Delete local files dir Display local files :
(The rest is omitted.)
xg# _
Word help
If you type a question mark "?" in the middle of a command name, the CLI lists possible command completions that forward-match the letters you have typed. The prompt will show the letters that you typed. You only have to type in the rest of the letters to complete the command entry.
xg # co? Exec commands: configure Enter configuration mode copy Copy from one file to another xg# co_
The CLI lists all possible commands that begin with "co".
A list of options that are available in the current entry position
If you type a question mark "?" following a space after typing a command name, the CLI lists the names of commands that can be entered at the current option position. For option 2 and 3 positions, the CLI also lists options that can be entered at these positions. The prompt will show the letters that you typed. You only have to type in the rest of the letters to complete the command entry.
xg# configure ? terminal Configure from the terminal
xg# configure _
CLI lists possible options that follow the "configure" command.
The <cr> symbol appears in the list to indicate that you can execute the command without entering any subsequent options. Parameters enclosed in square brackets can be omitted and, therefore, the <cr> symbol does not appear.
17/266

ll Rights Reserved, Copyright (C) PFU LIMITED 2005-2006
2.2.3 Command Completion
If you enter part of a command or option and press the [Tab] key, the CLI displays the remaining command or option characters.
xg# con<TAB> ↓
xg# configure _
For example, the only command that begins with "con" is "configure", so the CLI completes the command name as "configure". If you press the [TAB] key, the CLI lists all possible command or option names.
xg# con<TAB> configure copy xg# co_
Since there are two commands that begin with "co" - "configure" and "copy" - the CLI lists these two.
2.2.4 Command Abbreviation
Commands and options can be abbreviated to the minimum number of characters as long as command or option names are unique and forward-match the entered letters.
xg# con t
For example, you can abbreviate the "configure" command to "con" because "configure" is the only command that begins with "con", and "terminal" to "t" because "terminal" is the only command that begins with "t".
2.2.5 Command-Line Error Messages
The table below shows error messages that appear when you incorrectly enter a command. The "configure terminal" command is used as an example below:
Error Message Explanation
xg# co t % Ambiguous command: "co t"
You did not enter enough characters for the CLI to recognize the command. Re-enter the correct command string.
xg# configure % Incomplete command.
You did not enter all of the options or values required by this command entry. Set all necessary options and values.
xg# configure aerminal ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker
You entered a command improperly. A caret symbol (^) indicates the incorrect entry. Change incorrect entries and execute the command again.
xg# coc? % Unrecognized command
You typed part of a command that is not found with the context-sensitive help. Re-enter the correct command string.
2.2.6 Scrolling Down or Up a Line or a Page
When the information displayed by a command is wider than the console screen, a "--More--" prompt is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the CLI waits for a user entry.
xg# show running-config ! interface port 0
: :
(The rest is omitted.)
:
--More--
Scrolling Up a Line
To scroll up one line, press the [Enter] key.
Scrolling Up a Page
To scroll up one page, press the [Space] bar.
Finishing Displaying
To finish displaying, press the [q] or [Q] key.
The following table shows the combinations of shortcut keys, function keys or the [Ctrl] key used to edit commands.

cursor back one character. [Delete] or [Ctrl]+[D] Deletes the character to the right of the cursor. [Ctrl]+[W] Records the character to the left of the cursor before
deleting. [Ctrl]+[U] Records the command line before deleting. [Ctrl]+[K] Records all characters to the left of the cursor before
deleting. [Ctrl]+[Y] Pastes a string recorded by [Ctrl]+[W], [U] or [K]. [Ctrl]+[L] Erases the current screen. [Ctrl]+[C] Runs command result and aborts output. [Enter], [Ctrl]+[J], or [Ctrl]+[M] Completes a command entry. [Ctrl]+[T] Transposes the character located at the cursor with the
character to the left of the cursor.
If any of the above key combinations or command completion using the [TAB] key does not take effect, VT100, VT200 or xterm may not be selected for the terminal type.
2.2.7 Command History
Command history is a function that records command lines you have entered so that you can reuse them. It is useful for repeatedly entering the same command line or for entering a similar command.
To display the previous command line in the history:
Press the up arrow key or [Ctrl]+[P] to recall the previous command in the history to the prompt. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively older commands.
To display a more recent command line:
Press the down arrow key or [Ctrl]+[N] to bring up the next line from the command history to the prompt. Repeat the key sequence to bring up successively more recent commands.
To list the command history:
Use the "show history" command to view the list of commands saved in the history: For each login up to 100 lines of command history can be registered.
2.2.8 Aborting Command
An executing command can be aborted by pressing the [Ctrl]+[C]. Note that this key sequence may not be effective for some commands.
2.2.9 No Form of Commands
Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, the no form is used to cancel the settings with a configuration command or restore default values. Type "no" before entering a command name. For details of parameters and meanings that differ depending on commands, refer to " Command Reference".

2.2.10 Filtering show Command Output
This function allows you to filter show command outputs to extract the lines that satisfy specific conditions (filter for strings). This function is useful in excluding unnecessary information from a large amount of output. To use it, a "show" command must be followed by a keyword (pipe (|), begin, include or exclude) and a regular expression (filtering condition).
Syntax
show       | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
Keyword for filtering output Meaning
begin
Begins output starting at the first line that matches given regular expression parameters.
exclude
Displays output lines that do not contain those lines that match given regular expression parameters.
include
Displays output lines that match given regular expression parameters.
xg# show history | begin 2 ...skipping 2 configure terminal 3 show running-config 4 show history 5 show history | begin 2
xg# show history | exclude 2 1 enable 3 show users 4 show history
xg# show history | include 2 2 configure terminal 5 show history | begin 2
Regular expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter "| exclude strings", lines that include "String" are output, but those that include "strings" are not.
2.2.11 Redirecting show Command Output
You can redirect the output of "show" commands to a file in volatile memory using ">" or "| redirect".
Syntax (To redirect the output of a show command to a file in volatile memory:)
show       > FILE-NAME show       | redirect FILE-NAME
FILE-NAME
Specify a file name in the volatile memory to which the output of the command is redirected.
"| tftp" allows you to directly redirect the output of a show command to a file in a TFTP server.
Syntax (To directly redirect the output of a show command to a file in a TFTP server:)
show       | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE  HOST
Specify a host name or IP address of the TFTP server.
REMOTE-FILE
Specify the file name in the TFTP server to which the output of the command is redirected.
In the following example, the current startup-config is redirected as filename "startup_09302005", the running-config file is redirected as filename "running_09302005", and system information is redirected as filename "system_09302005". The results of the redirection are confirmed with the "ls" command. Then, using the "tftp" command, each of these files is moved to the TFTP server.
xg# show startup-config > startup_09302005 xg# show running-config > running_09302005 xg# show system information > system_09302005 xg# ls
(ls command output)
Update-time File-size File-name
- 2005/09/30 11:57:27 872 system_09302005
- 2005/09/30 11:54:01 2,310 startup_09302005
- 2005/09/30 11:55:58 2,437 running_09302005 xg# tftp put remote-host1 startup_09302005 restore_startup_09302005

4.1 Basic Switch Functions
This section describes the basic switch functions.
4.1.1 Switching Mode
The XG700 provides the following two switching modes.
Store-and-forward switching mode
After the XG700 has finished receiving a frame, it checks the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) and performs a validity check (on packet size, etc.) before forwarding the frame. If the switch receives a frame with an error frame, it discards it.
Cut-through switching mode
The XG700 transmits the frame to the destination as soon as the first 64 bytes of the frame are received with no errors. Since the XG700 starts transmitting the frame before it has received the entire frame, this mode allows forwarding at low latency.
To change the switching modes, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# bridge forward-mode {cut-through | store-and-forward }
xg(config)# no bridge forward-mode
Select the cut-through (or store-and-forward) for the switching mode.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
4.1.2 MAC Address Table Management
MAC address table is a database used for managing the association between address information and destination ports. The XG700 can learn up to 8912 entries of MAC addresses.
MAC address table management
The XG700 has two management methods for MAC address table management.
− SVL(Shared VLAN Learning)
The XG700 learns MAC addresses common to all VLANs. Different VLAN with identical MAC addresses are treated as identical entries.
− IVL(Independent VLAN Learning)
The XG700 learns MAC addresses separately for each VLAN. Identical MAC addresses with different VLANs
are treated as separate entries. To change the MAC address table management modes, carry out the following procedures in the management EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to the global configuration mode.
xg(config)# bridge learn-mode { ivl | svl }
xg(config)# no bridge learn-mode
Select IVL or SVL for the MAC address table management mode.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
xg# copy running-config startup-config
Save the current settings of the XG700 to nonvolatile memory.

Static unicast address
By registering a unicast MAC address to which a frame is forwarded with the MAC address table, you can forward a specific unicast frame to a specified port. Static unicast addresses are not subject to MAC address removal controlled by aging function. To register, change or delete a static unicast address, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# bridge mac-address-table static MAC [vlan <1-4094>] {[port <1-12>] | [agg-port <1-6>]}
xg(config)# no bridge mac-address-table static MAC [vlan <1-4094>]
Register a static unicast address and destination port with the MAC address table (or remove them from it).
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
Static multicast address
By registering a multicast MAC address to which a frame is forwarded with the MAC address table, you can forward a specific multicast frame to a designated port. To register, change or delete a multicast address, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# bridge mac-address-table static MAC [vlan <1-4094>] [port <1-12> [<1-12>    ]] [agg-port <1-6> [<1-6>   ]]
xg(config)# no bridge mac-address-table static MAC [vlan <1-4094>]
Register (or remove) a static multicast address table and destination port. For a multicast MAC address, multiple ports can be specified.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
4.1.3 Jumbo Frame Support
The XG700 can transmit jumbo frames of up to 15KB (15360 bytes). To configure jumbo frame support, carry out the following procedure in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# bridge jumbo-frame [{9216 | 12288 | 15360}]
xg(config)# no bridge jumbo-frame
Enable (or disable) jumbo frame support.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
If the maximum jumbo frame size is set to 15360, flow control is set to "only-receive" and unable to be set to
"send-receive".
4.1.4 Flow Control
Flow control is a function to prevent frame loss when the receive buffer in the switch overflows due to temporary traffic overload by using a PAUSE frame. When XG700 has received a PAUSE frame, it temporarily stops sending frames at the receive port. If space in the receive buffer runs out, it is possible to restrict frame transmission from the connected device by sending a PAUSE frame. For each port, it is possible to select whether or not to send a PAUSE frame. Select the mode depending on whether the destination can control a PAUSE frame. To change the flow control mode, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# interface port 1 2 3
xg(config)# interface port range 1 3
Switch to the interface edit mode for the port for which you want to change the flow control mode. In this example, the global interface configuration mode is selected for ports 1 through 3.
xg(config-if)# flowcontorol { only-receive | send-receive }
Set the flow control mode.
xg(config-if)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
If the maximum jumbo frame size is set to 15360, flow control is set to "only-receive" and unable to be set to
"send-receive".

4.1.5 Storm Control
The XG700 discards broadcast frames when the number of received broadcast frames is over a given threshold to prevent unnecessary waste of bandwidth due to retained broad cast frames on the network. This function is called "Storm Control". For each port, it is possible to configure storm control. When broadcast frames are discarded by Storm Control, error logs are output, after which storm control logging is disabled. To re-enabled logging, violations must be cleared with "clear violation". To configure Storm Control, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# interface port 1 2 3
xg(config)# interface port range 1 3
Switch to the interface edit mode for the port for which you want to change the flow control mode. In this example, the global interface configuration mode is selected for ports 1 though 3.
xg(config-if)# storm-control
Enable storm control.
xg(config-if)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
4.1.6 Port Security
Port security blocks connections attempted by unregistered hosts. When a host MAC address is registered, the XG700 receives only those frames that use permitted MAC addresses as source address. For each port, it is possible to configure port security. To register a MAC address for a host, use the "bridge mac-address-table static". The port to which the host is connected must be registered as a member port. In Independent VLAN Learning mode, this must be done for all VLANs that permit transmission. Either of the following two modes can be specified for a security-violating (unregistered) frame the XG700 receives.
− Restrict mode
Filters violating frames only, forwarding permitted frames.
− Shutdown mode
Filters all frames upon reception of a violating frame.
Once a security violation is detected, an error log is recorded. No further detection of a violating frame will cause an error log to be recorded until security violations are reset by "clear violation". To configure Port Security, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# interface port 1 2 3
xg(config)# interface port range 1 3
Switch to the interface edit mode for the port for which you want to change the flow control mode. In this example, the global interface configuration mode is selected for ports 1 though 3.
xg(config-if)# port-security violation {restrict | shutdown}
Enable Port Security.
xg(config_if)# clear violation
Clear security violations.
xg(config-if)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
4.1.7 Ingress Rate Control
It is possible to set ingress rate limiting value for each port in approximately 40Mbps increments. To set an ingress rate limiting value, carry out the following procedures in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# interface port 1 2 3
xg(config)# interface port range 1 3
Switch to the interface edit mode for the port for which you want to change the flow control mode. In this example, the global interface configuration mode is selected for ports 1 though 3.
xg(config-if)# ingress-bandwidth <40-10000>
Specify an ingress rate limiting value.
xg(config-if)# exit
Exit to global configuration mode.
xg# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
The ingress rate is measured at 100us time intervals. Should burst transfer take place at intervals of 100us or over, the ingress rate the XG700 actually allows may be less than the specified value.

4.3 Link Pass Through
Link Pass Through is a function that monitors the status of a link for a specified port and notifies the device connected to a port (to which a link status notification is sent) of the link status of a monitored port by synchronizing the monitored port with the link status of that port.
This function allows the XG700 to notify the port to which link status notification is sent of a link fault if it is detected in a monitored port. Link pass through indicates the link fault status to the other port by sending a remote fault (RF) signal, as prescribed in IEEE802.3ae LFS (Link Fault Signaling). When the link status of the monitored port is restored to normal, the other port is also restored to normal, the network line having been recovered. To configure Link Pass Through, carry out the following procedure in the administrator EXEC mode.
Command Task
xg# configure terminal
Switch to global configuration mode.
xg(config)# link-pass-through { monitored-port <1-12> | monitored-agg-port <1-6>} [domino-port <1-12> [<1-12>   ]] [domino-agg-port <1-6> [<1-6>   ]]
Set the relationship between the ports to be monitored and ports to which link status notification is sent.
xg(config)# exit
Exit to administrator EXEC mode.
