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.

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 and 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 keyword, so you are not required to enter a value in place of
the keyword.
This command line reference 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>
between angle brackets. You must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value,
which might be a name or number. Parameters are order-dependent. Keyword choices are in
bold font.
The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or keyword
choices. The following table describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish
between value types.

list of choices.
| Vertical barschoice1 | choice2Separates the mutually exclusive choices.
[{ }] Braces within
square brackets
[{choice1 | choice2}] Indicates a choice within an optional element. This
format is used mainly for complicated commands
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. The following table describes common parameter values and value
formatting.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
ParameterDescription
ipaddrThis parameter is a valid IPv4 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 (8.8.8.8)
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.)
ipv6-addressThis parameter is a valid IPv6 address. You can enter the IP address in the following
formats:
• FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB
• FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32

Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
Using the Command-Line Interface

M4100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches
Slot/Port Naming Convention
Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a
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.
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a 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 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
Using the Command-Line Interface
10
M4100 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches
command without the keyword no to reenable 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)
•Quality of Service
•Management (CLI, web UI, and SNMP)
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, except for 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. The following table 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 provide 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

This command enables automatic negotiation on a port.
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. 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 239.

spanning-tree auto-edge
This command enables auto-edge on the interface or range of interfaces. When enabled, the
interface becomes an edge port if it does not see BPDUs for edge delay time.
Use this command to force a transmission of rapid spanning tree (RSTP) and multiple
spanning tree (MSTP) BPDUs. Use the <slot/port> parameter to transmit a BPDU from
a specified interface, or use the all keyword to transmit BPDUs from all interfaces. This
command forces the BPDU transmission when you execute it, so the command does not
change the system configuration or have a “no” version.
This command sets the Configuration Identifier Name for use in identifying the configuration
that this switch is currently using. The <name> is a string of up to 32 characters.
