software has two purposes:
Switch Management Overview
Fast Ethernet (FEN) and Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) 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. The GSM73xx Level 3 Managed Switch
Software v2 provides a flexible solution to these ever-increasing needs.
The GSM73xx Level 3 Managed Switch Software v2 provides the network administrator with a
set of comprehensive management functions for managing both the GSM73xx and the network.
The network administrator has a choice of three easy-to-use management methods:
•Web-based
•VT100 interface
Note: When configuring a device by use of a configuration file, the maximum number of
configuration file command lines is 2000.
•Simple Network Protocol Management (SNMP)
Switch Management Overview2-1
7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Reference Manual for Software v2.0
Each management method enables the network administrator to configure, manage, and control
the GSM73xx 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.

Chapter 3
Administration Console Telnet Interface
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, VT-100/ANSI menu-driven user
interface for performing management activities. Using this method, you can view the
administration console from a terminal, PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation connected to
the switch’s console port. Figure 3-1 shows an example of this management method.
Setting Up Your Switch Using Direct Console Access
The direct access management method is required when you initially set up your switch.
Thereafter, the convenience and additional features of the Web management access method
(described in chapter 4) make it the best method to manage the switch.
Direct access to the switch console is achiev ed by connecting the switch’s console port to a
VT-100 or compatible terminal or to a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation equipped with
a terminal-emulation program. This connection is made using the null-modem cable supplied with
the switch.
Administration Console Telnet Interface3-1
7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Reference Manual for Software v2.0
Examples of terminal-emulation programs include:
•Hyper Terminal, which is included with Microsoft Windows operating systems
•ZTerm for the Apple Macintosh
•TIP for UNIX workstations
This example describes how to set up the connection using a Hyper Terminal on a PC, but other
systems follow similar steps.
1.Click the Windows Start button. Select Accessories and then Communications. Hyper
Terminal should be one of the options listed in this menu. Select Hyper Terminal
2.The following screen will appear. Enter a name for this connection. In the example below, the
name of the connection is GSM73xx. Click OK.

When the following screen appears, make sure that the port setting are as follows:
The Hyper Terminal window will open and you should be connected to the switch. If you do not
get a welcome screen or a system menu, hit the return key.
When attached to the User Interface via a Telnet Session, the following must be set in order to use
the arrow keys: Under the terminal pull down menu choose Properties and make sure the VT100
Arrows option is turned on.
Introduction to the Command Menu Interface
The switch offers a Command Menu Interface (CMI), which is a menu-driven method for
managing the switch, as well as a Command Line Interface (CLI), which uses text inputs to
manage the switch. The CLI is accessed through the CMI, but is not addressed in this chapter.
Chapter 5 discusses the CLI in detail.
Administration Console Telnet Interface3-3
7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Reference Manual for Software v2.0
There are several characteristics to the CMI pages that are necessary to know before proceeding to
use it. The T AB key or the arrow keys may be used to move within menus and sub-screens. At the
bottom of every screen are some key commands available to the user for that particular screen, as
well as some helpful information.
The common keystrokes and their definitions and intricacies are listed below:
•ESCReturn to the previous menu or screen, or abort editing
•TabSelect field
•Ctrl-LRefresh the screen
•Ctrl-DLog off (password enabled)
•Ctrl-MMove to field (Switch Statistics and Port Configuration menus only)
•Ctrl-WSaves current configuration to Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM)
•SpacebarToggles between possible settings for a field
•EnterSelect a menu item, edit a field, or accept a value after editing a field
•Ctrl-XDelete a table entry
The main menu displays all the sub-menus that are available. Striking ‘Enter’ when an option is
highlighted will confirm the choice of the specified sub-menu. The ‘hotkey’ or letter in front of
each menu option can also be typed to directly choose that option.
To logout of the user interface, hit Ctrl-D at any time during your telnet session. You will be
brought back to the login screen (password enabled) or Main Menu (password disabled).

Web-Based Management Interface
Your NETGEAR GSM73xx Level 3 Managed Switch Software v2 provides a built-in browser
interface that lets you configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
This interface also allows for system monitoring and management of the switch. The ‘help’ page
will cover many of the basic functions and features of the switch and it’s web interface.
When you configure the switch for the first time from the console, you can assign an IP address
and subnet mask to the switch. Thereafter, you can access the switch’ s Web interface directly using
your W eb browser by entering the switch’s IP address into the address bar. In this way, you can use
your Web browser to manage the switch from a central location, just as if you were directly
connected to the switch’s console port. Figure 4-1 shows this management method.
Figure 4-1: Web Management Method
The 6 menu options available are: System, Status, Set-up, Tools, Security, and Advanced. There is
a help menu in the top of right side of screen; you can click the ‘help’ or the question mark to read
the help menu.

Command Line Interface Syntax
The Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax, conventions and terminology are described in this
section. Each CLI command is illustrated using the structure outlined below.
CLI Command Format
Commands are followed by values, parameters or both.
Example 1: config network parms <ipAddr> <netmask> [gateway]
–config network parms is the command name.
–<ipAddr> <netmask> are the required values for the command.
–[gateway] is the optional value for the command.
Example 2: config syslocation <location>
–config syslocation is the command name.
–<location> is the required parameter for the command.
Example 3: config lag deleteport <logical slot.port> < slot.port|all>
–config lag deleteport is the command name.
–<logical slot.port> <slot.port|all> are the required values for the
command.
•Command: The text in bold, non-italic font must be typed exactly as shown.
•Parameters: Parameters are order dependent.
The text in bold italics should be replaced with a name or number. To use spaces as part of a
name parameter, enclose it in double quotes like this: "System Name with Spaces".
Parameters may be mandatory values, optional values, choices or a combination.
–<parameter>. The <> angle brackets indicate that a mandatory parameter must be entered
in place of the brackets and text inside them.
Command Line Interface Syntax5-1
7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Reference Manual for Software v2.0
–[parameter]. The [] square brackets indicate that an optional parameter must be entered in
place of the brackets and text inside them.
–choice1|choice2. The | indicates that only one of the parameters should be entered.
CLI Command Values
ipAddr This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal
bytes ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters
consists of zeros (that is, 0.0.0.1). The interface IP address of
0.0.0.0 is invalid. In some cases, the IP address can also be
entered as a 32-bit number.
macAddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated
by colons, for example 0:6:29:32:81:40.
areaid Area IDs may be entered 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 form as IP addresses, but are distinct from IP
addresses. The IP network number of the sub-netted network may
be used for the area ID.
routerid The value of <router id> must be entered in 4-digit dotted-deci-
mal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is
invalid.
slot.port This parameter denotes a valid slot number and a valid port num-
ber. For example, 0.1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.
The <slot.port> field is composed of a valid slot number and a
valid port number separated by a period (.).
logical slot.port This parameter denotes a logical slot number and logical port
number assigned. This is applicable in the case of a LAG. The
operator can use the logical slot number and the logical port number to configure the LAG.
CLI Command Conventions
Network address are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation or network. Network
addresses are shown using the following syntax:
5-2Command Line Interface Syntax
7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Reference Manual for Software v2.0
Table 1. Network Address Syntax
Address TypeFormatRange
ipAddr
macAddr
A.B.C.D0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
(decimal)
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YYhexidecimal digit pairs
Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user defined strings. If the
operator wishes to use spaces as part of a name parameter then it must be enclosed in double
quotation marks.
Entering '@' in front of any command will allow the user to reference any root command from
anywhere in the tree. For example, '>config router>@show arp table' will display the ARP table
even though the command was not executed from the root level.
Command completion finishes spelling the command when enough letters of a command are typed
to uniquely identify the command word. The command may be executed by typing <enter>
(command abbreviation) or the command word may be completed by typing the <tab> or <space
bar> (command completion).
The value 'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This should never
happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not handled correctly.
The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.
CLI Annotations
The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use when
writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability . The exclamation point (‘!’) character
flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word anywhere on the
command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any command line that begins
with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the parser.
Some examples are provided below:
! Script file for displaying the ip interface
! Display information about interfaces
show ip interface 0.1 !Displays the information about the first interface
! Display information about the next interface
show ip interface 0.2

VLAN Example
LAN switches can segment networks into logically defined virtual workgroups.This logical
segmentation is commonly referred as a virtual LAN (VLAN). This logical segmentation of
devices provides better LAN administration, security, and management of broadcast activity over
the network. V irtual LANs have become an integral feature of switched LAN solutions.
The VLAN example below demonstrates a simple VLAN configuration with a 7000 Series L3
Managed Switch.
If a single port is a member of VLANs 2, 3 and 4, the port expects to see traffic tagged with either
VLAN 2,3 or 4.
The PVID (Port Vi rtual Identificat ion) could be something entirely different, for example '12' and
things would still work fine, just so incoming traffic was tagged.
Example:
•Project A = (VLAN2, ports 1,2)
•Project B = (VLAN3, ports 3,4)
•Project C = (VLAN4, ports 5,6)
•Project P = (VLAN 9, port 7)

SOLUTION 1
All traffic entering the ports is tagged traffic. Since the traffic is tagged, the PVID configuration
for each port is not a concern.
•The network card configuration for devices on Project A must be set to tag all traffic with
'VLAN 2'
•The network card configuration for devices on Project B must be set to tag all traffic with
'VLAN 3'
•The network card configuration for devices on Project C must be set to tag all traffic with
'VLAN 4'
•The network card configuration for devices on Project P must be set to tag all traffic with
'VLAN 9'
SOLUTION 2
The network card configuration for devices on Project A, B and C should be set to NOT tag traffic.
To take care of these untagged frames configure the following:
•config vlan ports pvid 2 0.1
•config vlan ports pvid 2 0.2

Switching Commands
This chapter provides detailed explanation of the Switching commands. The commands are
divided into five functional groups:
•Show commands display switch settings, statistics, and other information.
•Config commands configure features and options of the switch. For every config command
there is a show command that displays the config setting.
•Transfer commands transfer configuration and informational files to and from the switch.
•Save commands save the switch configuration.
•Clear commands clear some or all of the settings to factory defaults.
This chapter is organized by configuration type:
•System information and statistics commands
•Management commands

Join Timer Specifies the interval between the transmission of GARP PDUs
registering (or re-registering) membership for an attribute. Current attributes are a VLAN or multicast group. There is an
instance of this timer on a per-Port, per-GARP participant basis.
Permissible values are 10 to 100 centiseconds (0.1 to 1.0 seconds). The factory default is 20 centiseconds (0.2 seconds). The
finest granularity of specification is 1 centisecond (0.01 seconds).
Leave Timer Specifies the period of time to wait after receiving an unregis-
tered request for an attribute before deleting the attribute. Current
attributes are a VLAN or multicast group. This may be considered a buffer time for another station to assert registration for the
same attribute in order to maintain uninterrupted service. There is
an instance of this timer on a per-Port, per-GARP participant
basis. Permissible values are 20 to 600 centiseconds (0.2 to 6.0
seconds). The factory default is 60 centiseconds (0.6 seconds).
The finest granularity of specification is 1 centisecond (0.01 seconds).
LeaveAll Timer This Leave All Time controls how frequently LeaveAll PDUs are
generated. A LeaveAll PDU indicates that all registrations will
shortly be deregistered. Participants will need to rejoin in order to
maintain registration. There is an instance of this timer on a perPort, per-GARP participant basis. The Leave All Period Timer is
set to a random value in the range of LeaveAllTime to
1.5*LeaveAllTime. Permissible values are 200 to 6000 centiseconds (2 to 60 seconds). The factory default is 1000 centiseconds
(10 seconds). The finest granularity of specification is 1 centisecond (0.01 seconds).
Port GMRP Mode Indicates the GMRP administrative mode for the port. It may be
enabled or disabled. If this parameter is disabled, Join Time,
Leave Time and Leave All Time have no effect. The factory
default is disabled.
Port GVRP Mode Indicates the GVRP administrative mode for the port. It may be
enabled or disabled. If this parameter is disabled, Join Time,
Leave Time and Leave All Time have no effect. The factory
default is disabled.
