Publication Version 1.0, February 2007
The 7200 Series Managed Switch software has two purposes:
•Assist attached hardware in switching frames, based on Layer 2, 3, or 4 inform ation
contained in the frames.
•Provide a complete device management portfolio to the network administrator.
2.1 Scope
7200 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 Product Concept
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switching continues to evolve from high-end backbone
applications to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to
decline, while performance and feature sets continue to improve. Devices that are capable
of switching Layers 2, 3, and 4 are increasingly in demand. 7200 Series Managed Switch
software provides a flexible solution to these ever-increasing needs.
The exact functionality provided by each networking device on which the 7200 Series
Managed Switch software base runs varies depending upon the platform and requirements
of NETGEAR.
Overview2-1
v1.0, February 2007
Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7200 Series Layer-2 Switches, Software Ver-
7200 Series Managed Switch software includes a set of comprehensive management
functions for managing both the switch and the network. You can manage the 7200 Series
Managed Switch software by using one of the following three methods:
•Web-based
•VT100 interface
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Each of the management methods enables you to configure, manage, and control the
software locally or remotely using in-band or out-of-band mechanisms. Management is
standards-based, with configuration parameters and a private MIB providing control for
functions not completely specified in the MIBs.
2.3 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 2.3.1 “Command Syntax” on page 2-2
•Section 2.3.2 “Command Conventions” on page 2-3
•Section 2.3.3 “Unit-Slot-Port Naming Convention” on page 2-5
•Section 2.3.4 “Using the “No” Form of a Command” on page 2-6
•Section 2.3.5 “Command Modes” on page 2-6
•Section 2.3.6 “Entering CLI Commands” on page 2-9
•Section 2.3.7 “Using CLI Help” on page 2-10
•Section 2.3.8 “Accessing the CLI” on page 2-11
2.3.1 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.
2-2Overview
v1.0, February 2007
Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7200 Series Layer-2 Switches, Software Ver-
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 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.
show commands also contain a description of the information that the command

displays.
2.3.2 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 dis tinguish
between value types.

parameter from the list of choices.
| Vertical barschoice1 | choice2Separates the mutually exclusive choices.
[{}] Braces within
square brackets
[{choice1} choice2}]Indicate a choice within an optional
element.
2.3.2.1 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
ParameterDescription
ipaddrThis 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)
macaddrThe 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.
routeridEnter 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/portValid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For
example, 0/1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.

ParameterDescription
Logical InterfaceLogical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a
port-channel (LAG). You can use the logical slot/port to configure
the port-channel.
Character stringsUse double quotation marks to identify character strings, for
example, “System Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not
valid.
2.3.3 Unit-Slot-Port Naming Convention
7200 Series Managed Switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports
by using a Unit-Slot-Port (USP) 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 TypeDescription
Physical slot numbers Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the
CPU slot numbersThe 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 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.
CPU portsCPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical
entities located on physical slots.

2.3.4 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
no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For
the
example, the

Only the configuration commands are available in the
2.3.5 Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the
command modes supports specific 7200 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.

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.

port-channel (LAG) interfaces. For the standard 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
Section 14.2.9 “ip mtu” on page 14-11.

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 netw ork.
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 application 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:

Spanning Tree Protocol Commands
This section describes the spanning tree protocol (STP) commands available in the 72 00
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.
5.1 STP Configuration Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Note: STP is enabled by default. If STP is disabled, the system does not generate
BPDU messages.
