1-4 About This Manual

Publication Version 1.0, February 2007

The 7300 Series Managed Switch software has two purposes:

• Assist attached hardware in switching frames, based on Layer 2, 3, or 4 information
contained in the frames.

• Provide a complete device management portfolio to the network administrator.

2.1 Scope

7300 Series Managed Switch software encompasses both hardware and software support.
It software is partitioned to run in the following processors:

• CPU—This code runs the networking device management portfolio and controls the
overall networking device hardware. It also assists in frame forwarding, as needed and
specified. This code is designed to run on multiple platforms with minimal changes
from platform to platform.

Chapter 2

Overview

• Networking Device Processor—This code does the majority of the packet switching,
usually at wire speed. This code is platform dependent, and substantial changes might
exist across products.

2.2 Using the Command-Line Interface

The command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way to manage and monitor the system.
You can access the CLI by using a direct serial connection or by using a remote logical
connection with telnet or SSH.

This section describes the CLI syntax, conventions, and modes. It contains the following
topics:

• Section 2.2.1 “Command Syntax” on page 2-2

• Section 2.2.2 “Command Conventions” on page 2-3

• Section 2.2.3 “Slot-Port Naming Convention” on page 2-5

2.2.1 Command Syntax

A command is one or more words that might be followed by one or more parameters.
Parameters can be required or optional values.

Some commands, such as
Other commands, such as

show network or clear vlan, do not require parameters.
network parms, require that you supply a value after the

command. You must type the parameter values in a specific order, and optional parameters
follow required parameters. The following example describes the

network parms

command syntax:

Format

network parms <ipaddr> <netmask> [gateway]

• network parms is the command name.

•

<ipaddr> and <netmask> are parameters and represent requ ired values that you must

enter after you type the command keywords.

[gateway] is an optional parameter, so you are not required to enter a value in place

•
of the parameter.

The CLI Command Reference lists each command by the command name and provides a
brief description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following
information:

• Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.

• Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.

• Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.

The

show commands also contain a description of the information that the command

displays.

2.2.2 Command Conventions

In this document, the command name is in bold font. Parameters are in italic font. You
must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value, which might be a name or
number. Parameters are order dependent.

The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or
keyword choices. Table 2-1 describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish
between value types.

2.2.2.1 Common Parameter Values

Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System
Name with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (“ ”) are not
valid user-defined strings. Table 2-2 describes common parameter values and value
formatting.

Table 2-2. Parameter Descriptions

Parameter Description

ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address

in the following formats:

a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c.d

In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexidecimal
and octal formats through the following input formats (where n is
any valid hexidecimal, octal or decimal number):

0xn (CLI assumes hexidecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)

macaddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by

colons, for example 00:06:29:32:81:40.

areaid Enter area IDs in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). An

area ID of 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the backbone. Area IDs have the
same format as IP addresses but are distinct from IP addresses.
You can use the IP network number of the sub-netted network for
the area ID.

routerid Enter the value of <routerid> in dotted-decimal notation, such as

0.0.0.1. A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.

Interface or slot/port Valid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For

example, 0/1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.

Logical Interface Logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a

port-channel (LAG). Y ou can use the logical slot/port to configure
the port-channel.

Character strings Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for

example, “System Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not
valid.

2.2.3 Slot-Port Naming Convention

7300 Series Managed Switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports
by using a Slot-Port (SP) naming convention. The software also uses this convention to
identify certain logical entities, such as port-channel interfaces.

The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card
containing the ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of
interface or port.

Table 2-3. Type of Slots

Slot T y pe Description

Physical slot numbers Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the

maximum number of physical slots.

Logical slot numbers Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-

channel (LAG) or router interfaces.

CPU slot numbers The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.

The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given
slot.

Table 2-4. Type of Ports

Port Type Description

Physical Ports The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting

from zero.

Logical Interfaces Port-channel or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) interfaces are

logical interfaces that are only used for bridging functions.
VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions.

CPU ports CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical

entities located on physical slots.

2.2.4 Using the “No” Form of a Command

The no keyword is a specific form of an existing command and does not represent a new
or distinct command. Almost every configuration command has a
the

no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For

example, the

2.2.5 Command Modes

The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the
command modes supports specific 7300 Series Managed Switch software commands. The
commands in one mode are not available until you switch to that particular mode, with the
exception of the User EXEC mode commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode
commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.

The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current
mode. Table 2-5 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.

2.2.8 Accessing the CLI

You can access the CLI by using a direct console connection or by using a telnet or SSH
connection from a remote management host.

For the initial connection, you must use a direct connection to the console port. You
cannot access the system remotely until the system has an IP address and subnet mask.
You can set the network configuration information manually, or you can configure the
system to accept these settings from a BOOTP or DHCP server on your network. For more
information, see Section 3.1 “Network Interface Commands” on page 3-1.

Administrative Access Commands

This section describes the management access and basic port configuration commands
available in the 7300 Series Managed Switch CLI.

This section contains the following topics:

• Section 3.1 “Network Interface Commands” on page 3-1

• Section 3.3 “Console Port Access Commands” on page 3-7

• Section 3.4 “Telnet Commands” on page 3-10

• Section 3.5 “Secure Shell (SSH) Command” on page 3-15

• Section 3.6 “Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Commands” on page 3-17

• Section 3.7 “User Account Commands” on page 3-20
The commands in this section are divided into two functional groups:

• Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.

• Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration
setting.

To manage the device by using SNMP, see “SNMP Commands” in Chapter 10.

3.1.5 show network

This command displays configuration settings associated with the switch's network
interface. The network interface is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with
the switch via any of the switch's front panel ports. The configuration parameters
associated with the switch's network interface do not affect the configuration of the front
panel ports through which traffic is switched or routed.

IP Address The IP address of the interface. The factory default value is

0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask The IP subnet mask for this interface. The factory default

value is 0.0.0.0

Default Gateway The default gateway for this IP interface. The factory default

value is 0.0.0.0

Burned In MAC
Address The burned in MAC address used for in-band connectivity.

Locally
Administered
MAC Address If desired, a locally administered MAC address can be con-

figured for in-band connectivity. To take effect, 'MAC
Address Type' must be set to 'Locally Administered'. Enter
the address as twelve hexadecimal digits (6 bytes) with a
colon between each byte. Bit 1 of byte 0 must be set to a 1
and bit 0 to a 0, i.e. byte 0 should have the following mask
'xxxx xx10'. The MAC address used by this bridge when it
must be referred to in a unique fashion. It is recommended
that this be the numerically smallest MAC address of all ports
that belong to this bridge. However it is only required to be
unique. When concatenated with dot1dStpPriority a unique
BridgeIdentifier is formed which is used in the Spanning Tree
Protocol.

MAC Address
Type Specifies which MAC address should be used for in-band

connectivity. The choices are the burned in or the Locally
Administered address. The factory default is to use the
burned in MAC address.

3.2 Configuring the Switch Management CPU (ezconfig)

Format ezconfig
Mode Privileged EXEC

To manage the switch via the web GUI or telnet, an IP address needs to be assigned to the
switch management CPU. Whereas there are CLI commands that can be used to do this,
ezconfig simplifies the task. The tool is applicable to all NETGEAR 7000-series managed
switches, and allows you to configure the following parameters:

1. The administrator’s user password and administrator-enable password

2. Management CPU IP address and network mask

3. System name and location information

The tool is interactive and uses questions to guide you through the steps required to
perform its task. At the end of the session, it will ask you if you want to save the changed
information. To see exactly what has been changed by ezconfig at the end of the session,
use the show running-config command.

To perform any switch configuration other than the items listed above, use other CLI
commands or the Web GUI.

4.5 DNS Client Commands

The Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet directory service. DNS is used to translate
domain names to IP addresses. A DNS Client (often referred to as a resolver) uses a
defined protocol to obtain resource data from name servers on its network.

The DNS Client component must be globally enabled or disabled. When the client is
enabled, it provides a hostname lookup service to other components in the switch. The
client contacts one or more DNS servers to resolve a hostname to an IP address. The DNS
servers list is configured by providing an IP address for each DNS name server, and server
precedence is determined by the order in which the servers are added to this list. A default
domain name can be configured, which defines the domain to use when performing a
lookup on an unqualified hostname. Static hostname-to-address mappings can be added
and removed from the local cache.

The DNS client supports 128 entries in the DNS cache. Any applica tion component
requiring a DNS lookup may request services from the DNS client. When the DNS client
is administratively disabled the local cache is purged. Changes to the name server
configuration do not affect the cache. If a stacking switchover occurs, the new Master unit
begins with a cleared cache.

The following applications support domain name in addition to the IP address format:

Radius
DHCP Relay
SNTP
SNMP
TFTP
SYSLOG
Ping

Spanning Tree Protocol Commands

This section describes the spanning tree protocol (STP) commands available in the 7300
Series Managed Switch CLI. STP helps prevent network loops, duplicate messages, and
network instability.

The STP Commands section includes the following topics:

• Section 5.1 “STP Configuration Commands” on page 5-1

• Section 5.2 “STP Show Commands” on page 5-10

The commands in this section are in one of two functional groups:

• Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.

• Configuration commands configure features and options of the switch. For every
configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration
setting.
