Cisco NX-OS Layer 2 Commands
This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS Layer 2 commands.
clear mac address-table dynamic
To clear the dynamic address entries from the MAC address table in Layer 2, use the clear mac address-table dynamic command.
clear mac address-table dynamic [[address mac_addr] [vlan vlan_id] [interface {type slot/port | port-channel number}]
Syntax Description
Defaults
None
Command Modes
Any command mode
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the clear mac address-table dynamic command with no arguments to remove all dynamic entries from the table.
To clear static MAC addresses from the table, use the no mac address-table static command in configuration mode.
If the clear mac address-table dynamic command is entered with no options, all dynamic addresses are removed. If you specify an address but do not specify an interface, the address is deleted from all interfaces. If you specify an interface but do not specify an address, the device removes all addresses on the specified interfaces.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to clear all the dynamic Layer 2 entries from the MAC address table:
switch(config)#clear mac address-table dynamicswitch(config) #This example shows how to clear all the dynamic Layer 2 entries from the MAC address table for VLAN 20 on port 2/20:

Usage Guidelines
Rapid per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (Rapid PVST+) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) have built-in compatibility mechanisms that allow them to interact properly with other versions of IEEE spanning tree or other regions. For example, a bridge running Rapid PVST+ can send 802.1D bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) on one of its ports when it is connected to a legacy bridge. An MST bridge can detect that a port is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU or an MST BPDU that is associated with a different region.
These mechanisms are not always able to revert to the most efficient mode. For example, a Rapid PVST+ bridge that is designated for a legacy 802.1D bridge stays in 802.1D mode even after the legacy bridge has been removed from the link. Similarly, an MST port assumes that it is a boundary port when the bridges to which it is connected have joined the same region.
To force the MST port to renegotiate with the neighbors, enter the clear spanning-tree detected-protocol command.
If you enter the clear spanning-tree detected-protocol command with no arguments, the command is applied to every port of the device.
This command does not require a license.

vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Enter 0 seconds to disable the aging process.
The age value may be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 5 seconds. If the system rounds the value to a different value from that specified by the user (from the rounding process), the system returns an informational message.
When you use this command in the global configuration mode, the age values of all VLANs for which a configuration has not been specified are modified and those VLANs with specifically modified aging times are not modified. When you use the no form of this command without the VLAN parameter, only those VLANs that have not been specifically configured for the aging time reset to the default value. Those VLANs with specifically modified aging times are not modified.
When you use this command and specify a VLAN, the aging time for only that specified VLAN is modified. When you use the no form of this command and specify a VLAN, the aging time for the VLAN is returned to the current global configuration for the aging time, which might or might not be the default value of 300 seconds depending if the global configuration of the device for the aging time has been changed.
The aging time is counted from the last time that the switch detected the MAC address.
This command does not require a license.

Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enable private VLANs by using the feature private-vlan command before you can configure private VLANs. The commands for configuring private VLANs are not visible until you enable private VLANs.
Note
If you delete either the primary or secondary VLAN, the ports that are associated with the VLAN become inactive. When you enter the no private-vlan command, the VLAN returns to the normal VLAN mode. All primary and secondary associations on that VLAN are suspended, but the interfaces remain in private VLAN mode. However, when you reconvert the specified VLAN to private VLAN mode, the original associations are reinstated.
If you enter the no vlan command for the primary VLAN, all private VLAN associations with that VLAN are lost. However, if you enter the no vlan command for a secondary VLAN, the private VLAN associations with that VLAN are suspended and return when you recreate the specified VLAN and configure it as the previous secondary VLAN.
You cannot configure VLAN1 or the internally allocated VLANs as private VLANs.
A private VLAN is a set of private ports that are characterized by using a common set of VLAN number pairs. Each pair is made up of at least two special unidirectional VLANs and is used by isolated ports and/or by a community of ports to communicate with routers.
An isolated VLAN is a VLAN that is used by isolated ports to communicate with promiscuous ports. An isolated VLAN's traffic is blocked on all other private ports in the same VLAN. Its traffic can only be received by standard trunking ports and promiscuous ports that are assigned to the corresponding primary VLAN.
A promiscuous port is defined as a private port that is assigned to a primary VLAN.
A community VLAN is defined as the VLAN that carries the traffic among community ports and from community ports to the promiscuous ports on the corresponding primary VLAN.
A primary VLAN is defined as the VLAN that is used to convey the traffic from the routers to customer end stations on private ports.
Multiple community and isolated VLANs are allowed. If you enter a range of primary VLANs, the system uses the first number in the range for the association.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to remove a private VLAN relationship from the primary VLAN. The associated secondary VLANs are not deleted.
switch(config-vlan)# no private-vlan associationswitch(config-vlan)#Related Commands
show vlan

private-vlan association
To configure the association between a primary VLAN and a secondary VLAN on a private VLAN, use the private-vlan association command. To remove the association, use the no form of this command.
private-vlan association {[add] secondary-vlan-list | remove secondary-vlan-list}
no private-vlan association
Syntax Description
add
Associates a secondary VLAN to a primary VLAN.
secondary-vlan-list
Number of the secondary VLAN.
remove
Clears the association between a secondary VLAN and a primary VLAN.
Defaults
None
Command Modes

Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enable private VLANs by using the feature private-vlan command before you can configure private VLANs. The commands for configuring private VLANs are not visible until you enable private VLANs.
Note
If you delete either the primary or secondary VLAN, the ports that are associated with the VLAN become inactive. When you enter the no private-vlan command, the VLAN returns to the normal VLAN mode. All primary and secondary associations on that VLAN are suspended, but the interfaces remain in private VLAN mode. However, when you reconvert the specified VLAN to private VLAN mode, the original associations are reinstated.
If you enter the no vlan command for the primary VLAN, all private VLAN associations with that VLAN are lost. However, if you enter the no vlan command for a secondary VLAN, the private VLAN associations with that VLAN are suspended and return when you recreate the specified VLAN and configure it as the previous secondary VLAN.
The secondary-vlan-list argument cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single secondary VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of secondary VLAN IDs. The secondary-vlan-list parameter can contain multiple secondary VLAN IDs.
A private VLAN is a set of private ports that are characterized by using a common set of VLAN number pairs. Each pair is made up of at least two special unidirectional VLANs and is used by isolated ports and/or by a community of ports to communicate with routers.
Multiple community and isolated VLANs are allowed. If you enter a range of primary VLANs, the system uses the first number in the range for the association.
Isolated and community VLANs can only be associated with one primary VLAN. You cannot configure a VLAN that is already associated to a primary VLAN as a primary VLAN.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to create a private VLAN relationship between the primary VLAN 14, the isolated VLAN 19, and the community VLANs 20 and 21:
switch(config)# vlan 19switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolatedswitch(config)# vlan 20switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan communityswitch(config)# vlan 21switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan communityswitch(config)# vlan 14switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan primaryswitch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 19-21This example shows how to remove isolated VLAN 18 and community VLAN 20 from the private VLAN association:

private-vlan mapping
To create a mapping between the primary and the secondary VLANs so that both VLANs share the same Layer 3 VLAN interface, or switched virtual interface (SVI), use the private-vlan mapping command under the SVI. To remove all private VLAN mappings from the Layer 3 VLAN interface, use the no form of this command.
private-vlan mapping {[add] secondary-vlan-list | remove secondary-vlan-list}
no private-vlan mapping
Syntax Description
Defaults
None
Command Modes

Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enable private VLANs by using the feature private-vlan command before you can configure private VLANs. The commands for configuring private VLANs are not visible until you enable private VLANs.
The private-vlan mapping command is valid in the interface configuration mode of the primary VLAN.
The secondary-vlan-list argument cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single secondary VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of secondary VLAN IDs.
Note
See the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 5.x, for information on creating and configuring VLAN interfaces.
Traffic that is received on the secondary VLAN is routed by the SVI of the primary VLAN.
When you configure VLANs as secondary private VLANs, the SVIs of those existing VLANs do not function and are considered as down after you enter this command.
You can map a secondary VLAN to only one primary SVI. If you configure the primary VLAN as a secondary VLAN, all the mappings that are specified in this command are suspended.
You must first associate all secondary VLANs with the primary VLAN using the private-vlan command. If you configure a mapping between two VLANs that do not have a valid Layer 2 association, the mapping configuration does not take effect.
See the private-vlan command for more information about primary and secondary VLANs.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to map the interface of VLAN 20 to the Layer 3 VLAN interface, or SVI, of VLAN 18:

Usage Guidelines
You cannot shut down, or disable, VLAN 1 or VLANs 1006 to 4094.
Once you shut down a VLAN, the traffic ceases to flow on that VLAN. Access ports on that VLAN are also brought down; trunk ports continue to carry traffic for the other VLANs allowed on that port. However, the interface associations for the specified VLAN remain, and when you reenable, or recreate, that specified VLAN, the device automatically reinstates all the original ports to that VLAN.
To find out if a VLAN has been shut down internally, check the Status field in the show vlan command output. If a VLAN is shut down internally, one of these values appears in the Status field:

Usage Guidelines
BPDU Guard prevents a port from receiving BPDUs. If the port still receives a BPDU, it is put in the error-disabled state as a protective measure.
Caution
When you enable this BPDU Guard command globally, the command applies only to spanning tree edge ports. See spanning-tree port type edge bpduguard default for more information on the global command for BPDU Guard. However, when you enable this feature on an interface, it applies to that interface regardless of the spanning tree port type.
This command has three states:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable Bridge Assurance on the device.
Bridge Assurance is active only on spanning tree network interfaces. To configure an interface as a spanning tree network interface, use either the spanning-tree port type network command or the spanning-tree port type network default command.
Note
When Bridge Assurance is enabled on network ports, all ports send bridge protocol data units (BPDUs). When a Bridge Assurance-enabled network port does not receive any BPDUs for a specified period, that interface moves into the blocking state. After the network port receives a BPDU again, the port begins its normal spanning tree transitions.
An interface that is connected to a Layer 2 host and misconfigured as a spanning tree network port moves into the blocking state.
Note
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to enable Bridge Assurance on the device:

Syntax Description
vlan vlan-id
(Optional) Lists the VLANs on this trunk interface for which you want to assign the path cost. You do not use this parameter on access ports. The range is from 1 to 4094.
value
Value of the port cost. The available cost range depends on the path-cost calculation method as follows:
•
•
auto
Sets the value of the port cost by the media speed of the interface (see Table 1-2 for the values).
Defaults
auto
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Supported User Rolesnetwork-admin
vdc-admin
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The STP port path cost default value is determined from the media speed and path-cost calculation method of a LAN interface (see Table 1-2). See the spanning-tree pathcost method command for information on setting the path-cost calculation method for Rapid PVST+.
When you configure the value, note that higher values indicate higher costs.
On access ports, assign the port cost by port. On trunk ports, assign the port cost by VLAN; you can configure all the VLANs on a trunk port as the same port cost.
The port channel bundle is considered a single port. The port cost is the aggregation of all the configured port costs assigned to that channel.

Usage Guidelines
Fast transition (specified in IEEE 802.1w) works only on point-to-point links between two bridges.
By default, the device derives the link type of a port from the duplex mode. A full-duplex port is considered as a point-to-point link while a half-duplex configuration is assumed to be on a shared link.
If you designate a port as a shared link, you cannot use the fast transition feature, regardless of the duplex setting.
This command does not require a license.

Loop Guard provides additional security in the bridge network. Loop Guard prevents alternate or root ports from becoming the designated port because of a failure that could lead to a unidirectional link.
Loop Guard operates only on ports that are considered point-to-point links by the spanning tree, and it does not run on spanning tree edge ports.
When you enter the Loop Guard command for the specified interface, that spanning-tree guard loop command overrides this command.

The abort and exit commands allow you to exit MST configuration submode. The difference between the two commands depends on whether you want to save your changes or not.
The exit command commits all the changes before leaving MST configuration submode.
The abort command leaves MST configuration submode without committing any changes.
If you do not map secondary VLANs to the same instance as the associated primary VLAN, when you exit MST configuration submode, the following warning message is displayed:
These secondary vlans are not mapped to the same instance as their primary:-> 3See the switchport mode private-vlan host command to fix this problem.
Changing an mst configuration submode parameter can cause connectivity loss. To reduce service disruptions, when you enter mst configuration submode, make changes to a copy of the current MST configuration. When you are done editing the configuration, you can apply all the changes at once by using the exit keyword, or you can exit the submode without committing any change to the configuration by using the abort keyword.

Caution
When setting the max-age seconds, if a bridge does not see BPDUs from the root bridge within the specified interval, it assumes that the network has changed and recomputes the spanning-tree topology.
The spanning-tree root primary alters this device's bridge priority to 24576. If you enter the spanning-tree root primary command and the device does not become the root then the bridge priority is changed to 4096 less than the bridge priority of the current bridge. The command fails if the value required to be the root bridge is less than 1. If the device does not become the root, an error results.
If the network devices are set for the default bridge priority of 32768 and you enter the spanning-tree root secondary command, the software alters this device's bridge priority to 28762. If the root device fails, this device becomes the next root switch.

There is no run-time effect on the port unless it is in private VLAN-host mode. If the port is in private VLAN-host mode but neither of the VLANs exist, the command is allowed but the port is made inactive. The port also may be inactive when the association between the private VLANs is suspended.
The secondary VLAN may be an isolated or community VLAN.
See the private-vlan command for more information on primary VLANs, secondary VLANs, and isolated or community ports.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a Layer 2 host private VLAN port with a primary VLAN (VLAN 18) and a secondary VLAN (VLAN 20):
switch(config-if)#switchport private-vlan host-association 18 20switch(config-if)#This example shows how to remove the private VLAN association from the port:

Usage Guidelines
You must have configured the interface by using the switchport mode private-vlan trunk promiscuous command before this command becomes operational.
You use the switchport private-vlan mapping trunk command to add private VLANs, primary VLANs, and specified associated secondary VLANs to the promiscuous trunk port. In this way, the promiscuous trunk port can carry multiple private VLANs as well as normal VLANs. The secondary VLAN can be either an isolated or community VLAN. The private VLAN mapping between primary and secondary VLANs must be operational (see the private-vlan mapping command). You can add up to 16 pairs of isolated and primary VLANs to each isolated trunk port.
You must reenter the command for each primary VLAN that you are working with.
When you are using the no form of this command, the following guidelines apply:

Note
The secondary-vlan-list argument cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single secondary VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of secondary VLAN IDs.
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to map two primary VLANs and selected associated secondary VLANs to the promiscuous trunk interface:

switchport private-vlan trunk allowed vlan
To add allowed VLANs to the private VLAN promiscuous and isolated trunk ports, use the switchport private-vlan trunk allowed vlan command. To remove VLANs from the promiscuous and isolated trunk interfaces, use the no form of this command.
switchport private-vlan trunk allowed vlan {add vlan-list | all | except vlan-list | none | remove vlan-list}
no switchport private-vlan trunk no allowed vlan vlan-list
Syntax Description
Defaults
Empty; no VLANs are allowed on the private VLAN promiscuous and isolated trunk ports by default.

Usage Guidelines
You must have configured the interface by using either the switchport mode private-vlan trunk secondary or the switchport mode private-vlan trunk promiscuous command for this command to become operational.
When you map the private primary and secondary private VLANs to the isolated and promiscuous trunk ports, the system automatically adds all the primary VLANs into the list of allowed VLANs for this interface.
Note
This command does not require a license.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the native default VLAN 1 to be allowed on a private VLAN promiscuous or isolated trunk port:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
When you enter the vlan vlan-id command, a new VLAN is created with all default parameters and causes the CLI to enter VLAN configuration submode. If the vlan-id argument that you entered matches an existing VLAN, nothing happens except that you enter VLAN configuration submode.
You can enter the vlan-range using a comma (,), a dash (-), and the number.
VLAN 1 parameters are factory configured and cannot be changed; you cannot create or delete this VLAN. Additionally, you cannot create or delete VLAN 4095 or any of the internally allocated VLANs.
When you delete a VLAN, all the access ports in that VLAN are shut down and no traffic flows. On trunk ports, the traffic continues to flow for the other VLANs allowed on that port, but the packets for the deleted VLAN are dropped. However, the system retains all the VLAN-to-port mapping for that VLAN, and when you reenable, or recreate, that specified VLAN, the device automatically reinstates all the original ports to that VLAN.
This command does not require a license.
