Introduction
The 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more
advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively.
The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring
the switch:
Text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote
Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software
such as NEC WebSAM NetvisorPro
A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through a Web browser
The ISCLI provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch configuration. Use a
basic terminal to view information and statistics about the switch, and to perform any necessary configuration.
This guide describes how to use and configure on the Layer2 switch mode of the switch. The switch does not
provide ISCLI on the SmartPanel.
This chapter explains how to access the ISCLI to the switch.

Additional information about installing and configuring the switch is available in the following guides, which are
attached in this product.

Connecting to the switch
You can access the command line interface in one of the following ways:
Using a console connection via the console port
Using a Telnet connection over the network
Using a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to securely log in over a network
Establishing a console connection
To establish a console connection with the switch, you need:
A null modem cable with a female DB-9 connector (See the User’s Guide for more information.)
An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software set to the parameters shown in the table
below
Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 7
telnet <1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch IP address>
To establish a console connection with the switch:
1. Connect the terminal to the console port using the null modem cable.
2. Power on the terminal.
3. Press the Enter key a few times on the terminal to establish the connection.
4. You will be required to enter a password for access to the switch.
Setting an IP address
To access the switch via a Telnet or an SSH connection, you need to have an Internet Protocol (IP) address set for
the switch. The switch can get its IP address in one of the following ways:
Management port access:
Using a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server—When the dhcp client is enabled, the
management interface (interface 256) requests its IP address from a DHCP server. The default value for
the dhcp client is enabled.
Configuring manually—If the network does not support DHCP, you must configure the management
interface (interface 256) with an IP address. If you want to access the switch from a remote network, you
also must configure the management gateway (gateway 4).
Uplink port access:
Using a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server—By default, the management interface is set up to request
its IP address from a BOOTP server. If you have a BOOTP server on the network, add the Media Access
Control (MAC) address of the switch to the BOOTP configuration file located on the BOOTP server. The
MAC address can be found in the System Information menu (See the ―System Information commands‖
section in the ―Information Commands‖ chapter.) If you are using a DHCP server that also does BOOTP,
you do not have to configure the MAC address.
Configuring manually—If the network does not support BOOTP, you must configure the management port
with an IP address.
Establishing a Telnet connection
A Telnet connection offers the convenience of accessing the switch from any workstation connected to the network.
Telnet provides the same options for user, operator, and administrator access as those available through the
console port. By default, Telnet is enabled on the switch. The switch supports four concurrent Telnet connections.
Once the IP parameters are configured, you can access the ISCLI using a Telnet connection. To establish a Telnet
connection with the switch, run the Telnet program on the workstation and enter the telnet command, followed by
the switch IP address:
You will then be prompted to enter a password. The password determines the access level: administrator, operator,
or user. See the ―Accessing the switch‖ section later in this chapter for description of default passwords.
Establishing an SSH connection
Although a remote network administrator can manage the configuration of a switch via Telnet, this method does not
provide a secure connection. The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol enables you to securely log into this switch over the
network.
As a secure alternative to using Telnet to manage switch configuration, SSH ensures that all data sent over the
network is encrypted and secure. In order to use SSH, you must first configure it on the switch. See the ―Secure
Shell Server configuration‖ section in the ―Configuration Commands‖ chapter for information on how to configure
SSH.
The switch can perform only one session of key/cipher generation at a time. Therefore, an SSH/Secure Copy
(SCP) client will not be able to log in if the switch is performing key generation at that time or if another client has
just logged in before this client. Similarly, the system will fail to perform the key generation if an SSH/SCP client is
logging in at that time.
N8406-022A 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 8
The supported SSH encryption and authentication methods are listed below.
NOTE: This switch implementation of SSH is based on versions 1.5 and 2.0, and supports SSH clients from
version 1.0 through version 2.0. SSH clients of other versions are not supported. You may configure the client
software to use protocol SSH version 1 or version 2.
>> # ssh <user>@<1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch IP address>
NOTE: The first time you run SSH from the workstation, a warning message might appear. At the prompt,
enter yes to continue.
NOTE: It is recommended that you change default switch passwords after initial configuration and as
regularly as required under your network security policies. For more information, see the ―Setting passwords‖
section in the ―First-time configuration‖ chapter.
Server Host Authentication—Client RSA authenticates the switch in the beginning of every connection
Key Exchange—RSA
Encryption:
AES256-CBC
AES192-CBC
AES128-CBC
3DES-CBC
3DES
ARCFOUR
User Authentication—Local password authentication; Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
The following SSH clients are supported:
SSH 3.0.1 for Linux (freeware)
SecureCRT® 4.1.8 (VanDyke Technologies, Inc.)
OpenSSH_3.9 for Linux (FC 3)
FedoraCore 3 for SCP commands
PuTTY Release 0.58 (Simon Tatham) for Windows
By default, SSH service is not enabled on the switch. Once the IP parameters are configured, you can access the
ISCLI to enable SSH.
To establish an SSH connection with the switch, run the SSH program on the workstation by issuing the ssh
command, followed by the user account name and the switch IP address:
You will then be prompted to enter your password.
Accessing the switch
To enable better switch management and user accountability, this switch provides different levels or classes of user
access. Levels of access to the CLI and Web management functions and screens increase as needed to perform
various switch management tasks. The three levels of access are:
User— Interaction with the switch is completely passive—nothing can be changed on this switch. Users may
display information that has no security or privacy implications, such as switch statistics and current
operational state information.
Operator— Interaction with the switch is completely passive—nothing can be changed on this switch. Users
may display information that has no security or privacy implications, such as switch statistics and current
operational state information.
Administrator— Administrators are the only ones that may make permanent changes to the switch
configuration—changes that are persistent across a reload/reset of the switch. Administrators can access
switch functions to configure and troubleshoot problems on this switch. Because administrators can also
make temporary (operator-level) changes as well, they must be aware of the interactions between temporary
and permanent changes.
Access to switch functions is controlled through the use of unique usernames and passwords. Once you are
connected to the switch via the local console, Telnet, or SSH, you are prompted to enter a password. The
password entered determines the access level. The default user names/password for each access level is listed in
the following table.

ISCLI basics
Introduction
The ISCLI is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use the CLI for
performing all levels of switch configuration.
This chapter describes the ISCLI Command Modes, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that are
commonly available from all the command modes within the ISCLI.
Accessing the ISCLI
The first time you start this switch, it boots into the AOS CLI. To access the ISCLI, enter the following command
and reset the switch:
To access the AOS CLI, enter the following command from the ISCLI and reload the switch:
The switch retains your CLI selection, even when you reset the configuration to factory defaults. The CLI boot mode
is not part of the configuration settings.
ISCLI Command Modes
The ISCLI has three major command modes, listed in order of increasing privileges, as follows:
User EXEC mode: This is the initial mode of access. By default, password checking is disabled for this mode.
Privileged EXEC mode: The mode is accessed from User EXEC mode. If the Privileged EXEC password is
enabled, you must enter a password to access Privileged EXEC mode.
Global Configuration mode: This mode allows you to make changes to the running configuration of the switch. If
you save the configuration, the settings survive a reload of the switch. Several submodes are available within the
Global Configuration mode (the following table for more information.
Each command mode provides a specific set of commands. The command set of each higher-privilege mode is a
superset of the lower-privilege mode(s). All commands available in lower-lower-privilege modes are available in the
higher-privilege modes.
The following table describes the ISCLI command modes.

N8406-022A 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 28
Table 21 STP parameters
Parameter
Description
Current Root
Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes the
priority (hex) and MAC address of the root.
Path-Cost
Path-cost is the total path cost to the root bridge. It is the summation of the path cost
between bridges (up to the root bridge).
Port
The current root port refers to the port on the switch that receives data from the current root.
Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP.
Priority
(bridge)
The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the STP root
bridge.
Hello
The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a
configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses
the root bridge hello value.
MaxAge
The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits
without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP
network.
FwdDel
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port has
to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state.
Aging
The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits without
receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the Forwarding Database.
Priority (port)
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated port.
In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment, the port
with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment.
Cost
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a segment.
Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost.
State
The State field shows the current state of the port. The State field can be one of the
following: BLOCKING, LISTENING, LEARNING, FORWARDING, or DISABLED.
Designated
bridge
Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable. Information
includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.
Designated port
The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.

Table 22 Rapid Spanning Tree parameter descriptions
Parameter
Description
Current Root
Shows information about the root bridge for the Spanning Tree. Information includes the
priority (hex) and MAC address of the root.
Path-Cost
Path-cost is the total path cost to the root bridge. It is the summation of the path cost
between bridges (up to the root bridge).
Port
The current root port refers to the port on the switch that receives data from the current
root. Zero (0) indicates the root bridge of the STP.
Priority (bridge)
The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will become the STP
root bridge.
Hello
The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge transmits a
configurationbridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses
the root bridge hello value.
MaxAge
The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the bridge waits
without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP
network.
FwdDel
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a bridge port
has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding state.
Aging
The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the bridge waits
without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the
Forwarding Database.
Priority (port)
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the designated
port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment,
the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment.
Cost
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for a
segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A setting of
zero (0) indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after the link speed
has been auto-negotiated.
State
Shows the current state of the port. The State field in RSTP/MSTP mode can be one of
the following: Discarding (DISC), Learning (LRN), Forwarding (FWD), or
Disabled (DSB).
Role
Shows the current role of this port in the Spanning Tree. The port role can be one of the
following: Designated (DESG), Root (ROOT), Alternate (ALTN), Backup (BKUP), Master
(MAST), or Unknown (UNK).
Designated bridge
Shows information about the bridge connected to each port, if applicable. Information
includes the priority (hex) and MAC address of the Designated Bridge.
Designated port
The port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is connected.
Type
Type of link connected to the port, and whether the port is an edge port. Link type values
are AUTO, P2P, or SHARED.
The switch software can be set to use the IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) or the IEEE 802.1s
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP). If RSTP/MSTP is turned on, you can view the following RSTP bridge

Table 36 Bridging statistics for port
Statistics
Description
dot1PortInFrames
The number of frames that have been received by this port from its
segment.
A frame received on the interface corresponding to this port is counted by
this object, if and only if, it is for a protocol being processed by the local
bridging function, including bridge management frames.
dot1PortOutFrames
The number of frames that have been transmitted by this port to its
segment.
A frame transmitted on the interface corresponding to this port is counted
by this object, if and only if, it is for a protocol being processed by the local
bridging function, including bridge management frames.
dot1PortInDiscards
Count of valid frames received which were discarded (that is, filtered) by
the forwarding process.
dot1TpLearnedEntryDiscards
The total number of Forwarding Database entries, which have been or
would have been learned, but have been discarded due to a lack of space
to store them in the Forwarding Database.
If this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is
regularly becoming full (a condition which has adverse performance effects
on the sub network).
If this counter has a significant value but is not presently increasing, it
indicates that the problem has been occurring but is not persistent.
dot1StpPortForwardTransition
s
The number of times this port has transitioned from the Learning state to
the Forwarding state.

Table 37 Ethernet statistics for port
Statistics
Description
dot3StatsAlignmentErrors
A count of frames received on a particular interface that are not an
integral number of octets in length and do not pass the Frame
Check Sequence (FCS) check.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented
when the alignmentError status is returned by the MAC service to
the Logical Link Control (LLC) (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are,
according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the
LLC.
dot3StatsFCSErrors
A count of frames received on a particular interface that are an
integral number of octets in length but do not pass the Frame
Check Sequence (FCS) check.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented
when the frameCheckError status is returned by the MAC service to
the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are,
according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the
LLC.
dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames
A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface
for which transmission is inhibited by exactly one collision.
A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted
by the corresponding instance of the ifOutUcastPkts,
ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the
corresponding instance of the dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrame
object.
dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames
A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface
for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted
by the corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts,
ifOutMulticastPkts, or ifOutBroadcastPkts, and is not counted by the
corresponding instance of the dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames
object.
dot3StatsLateCollisions
The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular
interface later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2
microseconds on a 10 Mbit/s system. A (late) collision included in a
count represented by an instance of this object is also considered
as a (generic) collision for purposes of other
collision-related statistics.
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions
A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface
fails due to excessive collisions.
dot3StatsInternalMacTransmitError
s
A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface
fails due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error.
A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not
counted by the corresponding instance of either the
dot3StatsLateCollisions object, the dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions
object, or the dot3StatsCarrierSenseErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of
this object is implementation specific. In particular, an instance of
this object may represent a count of transmission errors on a
particular interface that are not otherwise counted.
Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 45
Table 37 Ethernet statistics for port
Statistics
Description
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs
A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceeds
the maximum permitted frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented
when the frameTooLong status is returned by the MAC service to
the LLC (or other MAC user).
Received frames for which multiple error conditions obtained are,
according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer Management,
counted exclusively according to the error status presented to the
LLC.
dot3StatsInternalMacReceiveErrors
A count of frames for which reception on a particular interface fails
due to an internal MAC sublayer receive error.
A frame is only counted by an instance of this object if it is not
counted by the corresponding instance of the
dot3StatsFrameTooLongs object, the dot3StatsAlignmentErrors
object, or the dot3StatsFCSErrors object.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of
this object is implementation specific. In particular, an instance of
this object may represent a count of received errors on a particular
interface that are not otherwise counted.

Introduction
The Configuration commands are available only from an administrator login. They include commands for
configuring every aspect of the switch. Changes can be saved to flash memory.
The following table describes the basic Configuration commands. The following sections provide more detailed
information and commands.
Viewing and saving changes
As you use the configuration commands to set switch parameters, the changes you make take effect immediately.
You do not need to apply configuration changes when you use the ISCLI. Any changes are lost the next time the
switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved.
Saving the configuration
You must save configuration changes to flash memory, so the switch reloads the setting when you reset the switch.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any prompt:
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block.
For instructions about selecting the configuration to run at the next system reload, see the ―Selecting a
configuration block‖ section in the ―Boot Options‖ chapter.

TACACS+ server configuration
TACACS+ (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an authentication protocol that allows a remote
access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication server to determine whether access can be
allowed to a given system. TACACS+ and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols are
more secure than the TACACS encryption protocol. TACACS+ is described in RFC 1492.
TACACS+ protocol is more reliable than RADIUS, as TACACS+ uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
whereas RADIUS uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Also, RADIUS combines authentication and
authorization in a user profile, whereas TACACS+ separates the two operations.
TACACS+ offers the following advantages over RADIUS as the authentication device:
TACACS+ is TCP-based, so it facilitates connection-oriented traffic.
It supports full-packet encryption, as opposed to password-only in authentication requests.
It supports decoupled authentication, authorization, and accounting.
The following table describes the TACACS+ Server Configuration commands.
N8406-022A 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 68
IMPORTANT: If TACACS+ is enabled, you must login using TACACS+ authentication when connecting via
the console or Telnet/SSH/HTTP/HTTPS. Backdoor for console is always enabled, so you can connect using
notacacs and the administrator password even if the backdoor (telnet) or secure backdoor (secbd) are
disabled.
If Telnet backdoor is enabled (telnet ena), type in notacacs as a backdoor to bypass TACACS+
checking, and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this even if TACACS+
servers are available.
If secure backdoor is enabled (secbd ena), type in notacacs as a backdoor to bypass TACACS+ checking,
and use the administrator password to log into the switch. The switch allows this only if TACACS+ servers are
not available.

The switch software supports SNMP-based network management. In SNMP model of network management, a
management station (client/manager) accesses a set of variables known as MIBs (Management Information Base)
provided by the managed device (agent). If you are running an SNMP network management station on your
network, you can manage the switch using the following standard SNMP MIBs:
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP port 161 for SNMP messages.
Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list of management objects to retrieve or to modify.
SNMP parameters that can be modified include:
System name
System location
System contact
Use of the SNMP system authentication trap function
Read community string

Address Resolution Protocol configuration
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a
physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local network for their physical addresses.
ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is
consulted to see if the IP address of the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the
corresponding physical address is used to send a packet.
The following table describes the ARP Configuration commands.
