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 show network or clear vlan, do not require parameters.
Other commands, such as 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 required 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 New Template User Manual 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 shows.

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 1 describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish between value
types.

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
Using the Command-Line Interface

ProSafe Managed Switch
Name with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid
user-defined strings. Table 2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
ParameterDescription
ipaddrThis parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the following formats:
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal formats
through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal or decimal
number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)

(LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the port-channel.
Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
Unit/Slot/Port Naming Convention
Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a
unit/slot/port 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 3. Type of Slots
Slot TypeDescription
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 numbersThe CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
Using the Command-Line Interface
12
ProSafe Managed Switch
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given
slot.
Table 4. Type of Ports
Port TypeDescription
Physical PortsThe physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from zero.
Logical InterfacesPort-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.
Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces that are always up.
Tunnel interfaces are logical point-to-point links that carry encapsulated packets.
CPU portsCPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on
physical slots.
Note: In the CLI, loopback and tunnel interfaces do not use the
unit/slot/port format. To specify a loopback interface, you use the
loopback ID. To specify a tunnel interface, you use the tunnel ID.
Using a Command’s “No” Form
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 no form. In general, use the no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For
example, the no shutdown configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface.
Use the command without the keyword no to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a
feature that is disabled by default. Only the configuration commands are available in the no
form.
Managed Switch Modules
Managed switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various
combinations to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command
modes available on your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some
show commands, the output fields might change based on the modules included in the
software.
The software suite includes the following modules:
• Switching (Layer 2)
• Routing (Layer 3)
• IPv6—IPv6 routing
• Multicast
Using the Command-Line Interface
13
ProSafe Managed Switch
• Quality of Service
• Management (CLI, Web UI, and SNMP)
• IPv6 Management—Allows management of the device through an IPv6 through an IPv6
address without requiring the IPv6 Routing package in the system. The management
address can be associated with the network port (front-panel switch ports) and a routine
interface (port or VLAN).
• Stacking
Not all modules are available for all platforms or software releases.
Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the
command modes supports specific 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 5 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Note: The command modes available on your switch depend on the
software modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does
not support BGPv4 does not have the Router BGPv4 Command
Mode.

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, subnet mask, and default
gateway. 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
Network Interface Commands on page 591.

2. Stacking Commands
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Dedicated Port Stacking
• Front Panel Stacking Commands
• Non-Stop Forwarding Commands
• Stack Firmware Synchronization Commands
The commands in this chapter are in 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.
The Primary Management Unit is the unit that controls the stack.

switch priority
This command configures the ability of a switch to become the Primary Management Unit.
The <unit> is the switch identifier. The <value> is the preference parameter that allows
the user to specify, priority of one backup switch over another. The range for priority is 1 to
15. The switch with the highest priority value will be chosen to become the Primary
Management Unit if the active Primary Management Unit fails. The switch priority defaults to
the hardware management preference value 1. Switches that do not have the hardware
capability to become the Primary Management Unit are not eligible for management.

switch renumber
This command changes the switch identifier for a switch in the stack. The <oldunit> is the
current switch identifier on the switch whose identifier is to be changed. The <newunit> is
the updated value of the switch identifier. Upon execution, the switch will be configured with
the configuration information for the new switch, if any. The old switch configuration
information will be retained, however the old switch will be operationally unplugged. This
command is executed on the Primary Management Unit.
Note: If the management unit is renumbered, then the running
configuration is no longer applied (i.e. the stack acts as if the
configuration had been cleared)
Stacking Commands

movemanagement
This command moves the Primary Management Unit functionality from one switch to another.
The <fromunit> is the switch identifier on the current Primary Management Unit. The
<tounit> is the switch identifier on the new Primary Management Unit. Upon execution,
the entire stack (including all interfaces in the stack) is unconfigured and reconfigured with
the configuration on the new Primary Management Unit. After the reload is complete, all
stack management capability must be performed on the new Primary Management Unit. To
preserve the current configuration across a stack move, execute the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config (in Privileged EXEC) command
before performing the stack move. A stack move causes all routes and layer 2 addresses to
be lost. This command is executed on the Primary Management Unit. The system prompts
you to confirm the management move.
Note: The movemanagement command does not NSF (non-stop
forwarding). To move the management unit to the backup unit, use
initiate failover instead. For more information, see initiate

backup unit. NSF is enabled by default on platforms that support it. The administrator can
disable NSF to redirect the CPU resources consumed by data checkpointing. If a unit that
does not support NSF is connected to the stack, then NSF is disabled on all stack members.
If a unit that does not support NSF is disconnected from the stack and all other units support

initiate failover
Use this command to force the backup unit to take over as the management unit and perform
a “warm restart” of the stack. On a warm restart, the backup unit becomes the management
unit without clearing its hardware tables (on a cold restart, hardware tables are cleared).
Applications apply checkpointed data from the former management unit. The original
management unit reboots. If the system is not ready for a warm restart, for example because
no backup unit has been elected or one or more members of the stack do not support
nonstop forwarding, the command fails with a warning message. The movemanagement
command also transfers control from the current management unit; however, the hardware is
cleared and all units reinitialize.
Note: Use this command instead of movemanagement if you expect nsf
during management unit changes.

Stack Firmware Synchronization Commands
Stack firmware synchronization provides an automatic mechanism to synchronize the
firmware on stack members whose firmware version differs from the version running on the
stack manager. This operation can result in either an upgrade or downgrade of firmware on
the mismatched stack member. However, this operation does not attempt to synchronize the
stack to the latest firmware in the stack.
During firmware transfer and upgrade, operations such as code download and move
management can result in undesirable behavior, such as firmware corruption on a code
mismatched stack member. As a result, you receive an error if you try to access the following
operations from the user interface during stack firmware synchronization:
• Move management
• Unit renumbering
• Code download
• Delete image
• Update bootcode
• Clear config
A reboot operation is allowed during stack firmware synchronization.
If the firmware is corrupted during stack firmware synchronization, manual intervention by the
administrator is required to restore the switch to working condition.
During stack firmware synchronization, traps are generated on start, completion, or failure.
• Non-deterministic upgrade behavior
On bootup, the image that gets synchronized depends on the one that becomes the
manager. Which code version the new stack synchronizes to is fully deterministic, but
might not be obvious to the user as it depends entirely on which unit becomes the
manager. This might be decided by a MAC address comparison. If the administrator
wants a particular version to be used by the stack, he should first ensure that this
particular unit becomes stack manager.
• Bootcode Upgrades
Bootcode upgrades are not initiated by the stack firmware synchronization.

Use the mtu command to set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, in bytes, for frames
that ingress or egress the interface. You can use the mtu command to configure jumbo frame
support for physical and port-channel (LAG) interfaces. For the standard 7000 series
implementation, the MTU size is a valid integer between 1522 - 9216 for tagged packets and
a valid integer between 1518 - 9216 for untagged packets.
Note: To receive and process packets, the Ethernet MTU must include any
extra bytes that Layer-2 headers might require. To configure the IP
MTU size, which is the maximum size of the IP packet (IP Header +
IP payload), see ip mtu on page 242.

spanning-tree mst
This command sets the Path Cost or Port Priority for this port within the multiple spanning
tree instance or in the common and internal spanning tree. If you specify an <mstid>
parameter that corresponds to an existing multiple spanning tree instance, the configurations
are done for that multiple spanning tree instance. If you specify 0 (defined as the default CIST
ID) as the <mstid>, the configurations are done for the common and internal spanning tree
instance.
If you specify the cost option, the command sets the path cost for this port within a multiple
spanning tree instance or the common and internal spanning tree instance, depending on the
<mstid> parameter. You can set the path cost as a number in the range of 1 to 200000000
or auto. If you select auto the path cost value is set based on Link Speed.
If you specify the external-cost option, this command sets the external-path cost for MST
instance ‘0’ i.e. CIST instance. You can set the external cost as a number in the range of 1 to
200000000 or auto. If you specify auto, the external path cost value is set based on Link
Speed.
If you specify the port-priority option, this command sets the priority for this port within a
specific multiple spanning tree instance or the common and internal spanning tree instance,
depending on the <mstid> parameter. The port-priority value is a number in the range of 0 to
240 in increments of 16.
This command sets the Path Cost or Port Priority for this port within the multiple spanning
tree instance, or in the common and internal spanning tree to the respective default values. If
you specify an <mstid> parameter that corresponds to an existing multiple spanning tree
instance, you are configuring that multiple spanning tree instance. If you specify 0 (defined as
the default CIST ID) as the <mstid>, you are configuring the common and internal spanning
tree instance.
If the you specify cost, this command sets the path cost for this port within a multiple
spanning tree instance or the common and internal spanning tree instance, depending on the
<mstid> parameter, to the default value, i.e. a path cost value based on the Link Speed.
If you specify external-cost, this command sets the external path cost for this port for mst ‘0’

Double VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure double VLAN (DVLAN). Double
VLAN tagging is a way to pass VLAN traffic from one customer domain to another through a
Metro Core in a simple and cost effective manner. The additional tag on the traffic helps
differentiate between customers in the MAN while preserving the VLAN identification of the
individual customers when they enter their own 802.1Q domain.

Voice VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use for Voice VLAN. Voice VLAN enables switch
ports to carry voice traffic with defined priority so as to enable separation of voice and data
traffic coming onto the port. The benefits of using Voice VLAN is to ensure that the sound
quality of an IP phone could be safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the
port is high.
Also the inherent isolation provided by VLANs ensures that inter-VLAN traffic is under
management control and that network- attached clients cannot initiate a direct attack on voice
components. QoS-based on IEEE 802.1P class of service (CoS) uses classification and
scheduling to sent network traffic from the switch in a predictable manner. The system uses
the source MAC of the traffic traveling through the port to identify the IP phone data flow.

Protected Ports Commands
This section describes commands you use to configure and view protected ports on a switch.
Protected ports do not forward traffic to each other, even if they are on the same VLAN.
However, protected ports can forward traffic to all unprotected ports in their group.
Unprotected ports can forward traffic to both protected and unprotected ports. Ports are
unprotected by default.
Switching Commands
81
ProSafe Managed Switch
If an interface is configured as a protected port, and you add that interface to a Port Channel
or Link Aggregation Group (LAG), the protected port status becomes operationally disabled
on the interface, and the interface follows the configuration of the LAG port. However, the
protected port configuration for the interface remains unchanged. Once the interface is no
longer a member of a LAG, the current configuration for that interface automatically becomes
effective.
switchport protected (Global Config)
Use this command to create a protected port group. The <groupid> parameter identifies the
set of protected ports. Use the name <name> pair to assign a name to the protected port
group. The name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including blanks. The

configuration information.
Private group can be used to create a group of ports that can or can not share traffic to each
others in the same VLAN group. The main application is to isolate a group of users from
another without using VLAN.
switchport private-group
This command is used to assign one port or a range of ports to private group
<privategroup-name> (or <private-group-id>).
The ingress traffic from a port in private group can be forwarded to other ports either in the
same private group or anyone in the same VLAN that are not in a private group.
By default, a port does not belong to any private group. A port cannot be in more than one
private group. An error message should return when that occurred. To change a port’s private
group, first the port must be removed from its private group.

dot1x timeout
This command sets the value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state
machine on this port. Depending on the token used and the value (in seconds) passed,
various timeout configurable parameters are set. The following tokens are supported:
TokensDefinition
guest-vlan-period
reauth-period
quiet-period
tx-period
supp-timeout
server-timeout
The time, in seconds, for which the authenticator waits to see if any EAPOL packets are
received on a port before authorizing the port and placing the port in the guest vlan (if
configured). The guest vlan timer is only relevant when guest vlan has been configured
on that specific port.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to determine when re-authentication of the supplicant takes place. The reauth-period
must be a value in the range 1 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to define periods of time in which it will not attempt to acquire a supplicant. The
quiet-period must be a value in the range 0 - 65535.
The value, in seconds, of the timer used by the authenticator state machine on this port
to determine when to send an EAPOL EAP Request/Identity frame to the supplicant. The
