aaa accounting dot1x

Use the aaa accounting dot1x global configuration command to enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) accounting and to create method lists defining specific accounting methods on a per-line or per-interface basis for IEEE 802.1x sessions. Use the no form of this command to disable IEEE 802.1x accounting.

aaa accounting dot1x {name | default} start-stop {broadcast group {name | radius | tacacs+} [group {name | radius | tacacs+}... ] | group {name | radius | tacacs+} [group {name | radius | tacacs+} ... ]}

no aaa accounting dot1x {name | default}

Syntax Description

name

Name of a server group. This is optional when you enter it after the broadcast group and group keywords.

default

Use the accounting methods that follow as the default list for accounting services.

start-stop

Send a start accounting notice at the beginning of a process and a stop accounting notice at the end of a process. The start accounting record is sent in the background. The requested-user process begins regardless of whether or not the start accounting notice was received by the accounting server.

broadcast

Enable accounting records to be sent to multiple AAA servers and send accounting records to the first server in each group. If the first server is unavailable, the switch uses the list of backup servers to identify the first server.

group

Specify the server group to be used for accounting services. These are valid server group names:

name—Name of a server group.

radius—List of all RADIUS hosts.

tacacs+—List of all TACACS+ hosts.

The group keyword is optional when you enter it after the broadcast group and group keywords. You can enter more than optional group keyword.

radius

(Optional) Enable RADIUS authorization.

tacacs+

(Optional) Enable TACACS+ accounting.


Defaults

AAA accounting is disabled.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The method argument identifies the method that the authentication algorithm tries in the given sequence to validate the password provided by the client. The only method that is truly IEEE 802.1x-compliant is the group radius method, in which the client data is validated against a RADIUS authentication server.

If you specify group radius, you must configure the RADIUS server by entering the radius-server host global configuration command.

Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to display the configured lists of authentication methods.

Examples

This example shows how to enable AAA and how to create an IEEE 802.1x-compliant authentication list. This authentication first tries to contact a RADIUS server. If this action returns an error, the user is not allowed access to the network.

Switch(config)# aaa new-model
Switch(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

archive download-sw

Use the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command to download a new image from a TFTP server to the switch and to overwrite or keep the existing image.

archive download-sw {/force-reload | /imageonly | /leave-old-sw | /no-set-boot | /no-version-check | /overwrite | /reload | /safe} source-url

Syntax Description

/force-reload

Unconditionally force a system reload after successfully downloading the software image.

/imageonly

Download only the software image but not the HTML files associated with the embedded device manager. The HTML files for the existing version are deleted only if the existing version is being overwritten or removed.

/leave-old-sw

Keep the old software version after a successful download.

/no-set-boot

Do not alter the setting of the BOOT environment variable to point to the new software image after it is successfully downloaded.

/no-version-check

Download the software image without checking to prevent installing an incompatible image.

/overwrite

Overwrite the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.

/reload

Reload the system after successfully downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not been saved.

/safe

Keep the current software image; do not delete it to make room for the new software image before the new image is downloaded. The current image is deleted after the download.

source-url

The source URL alias for a local or network file system. These options are supported:

The syntax for the local flash file system:
flash:

The syntax for the FTP: ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The syntax for an HTTP server:
http://[[username:password]@]{hostname | host-ip}[/directory]/image-name.tar

The syntax for a secure HTTP server:
https://[[username:password]@]{hostname | host-ip}[/directory]/image-name.tar

The syntax for the Remote Copy Protocol (RCP): rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The syntax for the TFTP:
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tar

The image-name.tar is the software image to download and install on the switch.


Defaults

The current software image is not overwritten with the downloaded image.

Both the software image and HTML files are downloaded.

The new image is downloaded to the flash: file system.

The BOOT environment variable is changed to point to the new software image on the flash: file system.

Image names are case sensitive; the image file is provided in tar format.

Compatibility of the version on the image to be downloaded is checked.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The /imageonly option removes the HTML files for the existing image if the existing image is being removed or replaced. Only the Cisco IOS image (without the HTML files) is downloaded.

Using the /safe or /leave-old-sw option can cause the new image download to fail if there is insufficient flash memory. If leaving the software in place prevents the new image from fitting in flash memory due to space constraints, an error results.

If you used the /leave-old-sw option and did not overwrite the old image when you downloaded the new one, you can remove the old image by using the delete privileged EXEC command. For more information, see the "delete" section.


Note Use the /no-version-check option with care. This option allows an image to be downloaded without first confirming that it is not incompatible with the switch.


Use the /overwrite option to overwrite the image on the flash device with the downloaded one.

If you specify the command without the /overwrite option, the download algorithm verifies that the new image is not the same as the one on the switch flash device. If the images are the same, the download does not occur. If the images are different, the old image is deleted, and the new one is downloaded.

After downloading a new image, enter the reload privileged EXEC command to begin using the new image, or specify the /reload or /force-reload option in the archive download-sw command.

Examples

This example shows how to download a new image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 and overwrite the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 
 
   

This example shows how to download only the software image from a TFTP server at 172.20.129.10 to the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /imageonly tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar 
 
   

This example shows how to keep the old software version after a successful download:

Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://172.20.129.10/test-image.tar

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

After entering the arp access-list command, you enter ARP access-list configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:

default: returns a command to its default setting.

deny: specifies packets to reject. For more information, see the "deny (ARP access-list configuration)" section.

exit: exits ARP access-list configuration mode.

no: negates a command or returns to the default settings.

permit: specifies packets to forward. For more information, see the "permit (ARP access-list configuration)" section.

Use the permit and deny access-list configuration commands to forward and to drop ARP packets based on the specified matching criteria.

When the ARP ACL is defined, you can apply it to a VLAN by using the ip arp inspection filter vlan global configuration command. ARP packets containing only IP-to-MAC address bindings are compared to the ACL. All other types of packets are bridged in the ingress VLAN without validation. If the ACL permits a packet, the switch forwards it. If the ACL denies a packet because of an explicit deny statement, the switch drops the packet. If the ACL denies a packet because of an implicit deny statement, the switch compares the packet to the list of DHCP bindings (unless the ACL is static, which means that packets are not compared to the bindings).

Examples

This example shows how to define an ARP access list and to permit both ARP requests and ARP responses from a host with an IP address of 1.1.1.1 and a MAC address of 0000.0000.abcd:

Switch(config)# arp access-list static-hosts
Switch(config-arp-nacl)# permit ip host 1.1.1.1 mac host 00001.0000.abcd
Switch(config-arp-nacl)# end
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show arp access-list privileged EXEC command.

bandwidth

Use the bandwidth policy-map class configuration command to configure class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ) by setting the output bandwidth for a policy-map class. Use the no form of this command to remove the bandwidth setting for the class.

bandwidth {rate | percent value | remaining percent value}

no bandwidth [rate | percent value | remaining percent value]

Syntax Description

rate

Set the bandwidth rate for the class in kilobits per second (kbps). The range is from 64 to 1000000.

percent value

Set the bandwidth for the class as a percent of the total bandwidth. The range is from 1 to 100 percent.

remaining percent value

Set the bandwidth for the class as a percent of the remaining bandwidth. The range is from 1 to 100 percent.


Defaults

No bandwidth is defined.

Command Modes

Policy-map class configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You use the bandwidth policy-map class command to control output traffic. The bandwidth command specifies the bandwidth for traffic in that class. CBWFQ derives the weight for packets belonging to the class from the bandwidth allocated to the class and uses the weight to ensure that the queue for that class is serviced fairly. Bandwidth settings are not supported in input policy maps.

When you configure bandwidth for a class of traffic as an absolute rate (kbps) or a percentage of bandwidth (percent value), it represents the minimum bandwidth guarantee or committed information rate (CIR) for that traffic class. This means that the traffic class gets at least the bandwidth specified in the command, but is not limited to that bandwidth. Any excess bandwidth on the port is allocated to each class in the same ratio as the configured CIR rates.

When you enter the bandwidth remaining percent command, hard bandwidths are not guaranteed, and only relative bandwidths are assured. Class bandwidths are always proportional to the specified bandwidth percentages configured for the port.

When you configure bandwidth in an output policy, you must specify the same units in each bandwidth configuration; that is, all absolute values (rates) or percentages.

The total rate of the minimum bandwidth guarantees for each queue of the policy cannot exceed the total speed for the interface. If the percent keyword is used, the sum of the class bandwidth percentages cannot exceed 100 percent.

Using the queue-limit command to modify the default queue limit is especially important on higher-speed interfaces so that they meet the minimum bandwidth guarantees required by the interface.

You cannot use the bandwidth policy-map class configuration command to configure CBWFQ and the shape average command to configure class-based shaping for the same class in a policy map.

You cannot configure bandwidth in a class that includes priority queuing (configured with the priority policy-map class configuration command).

Examples

This example shows how to set the precedence of output queues by setting bandwidth in kilobits per second. The classes outclass1, outclass2, and outclass3 get a minimum of 50000, 20000, and 10000 kbps. The class class-default at a minimum gets the remaining bandwidth.

Switch(config)# policy-map out-policy
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 50000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 20000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 10000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output out-policy
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to set the precedence of output queues by allocating percentages of the total available bandwidth to each traffic class.The classes outclass1, outclass2, and outclass3 get a minimum of 50, 20, and 10 percent. The class class-default at a minimum gets 20 percent.

Switch(config)# policy-map out-policy
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 50
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output out-policy
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to set outclass1 as a priority queue, with outclass2, and outclass3 getting 50 and 20 percent, respectively, of the bandwidth remaining after the priority queue is serviced. The class class-default gets the remaining 30 percent with no guarantees.

Switch(config)# policy-map out-policy
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# priority
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 50
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output out-policy

Note Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP.) and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) are available only on network node interfaces (NNIs) or enhanced network interfaces (ENIs). The active, auto, desirable, and passive keywords are not visible on user network interfaces (UNIs).


Syntax Description

channel-group-number

Specify the channel group number. The range is 1 to 48.

mode

Specify the EtherChannel mode.

active

Unconditionally enable LACP

Active mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets. A channel is formed with another port group in either the active or passive mode.

auto

Enable the PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected.

Auto mode places a port into a passive negotiating state in which the port responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not start PAgP packet negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in desirable mode. When auto is enabled, silent operation is the default.

desirable

Unconditionally enable PAgP.

Desirable mode places a port into an active negotiating state in which the port starts negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets. A channel is formed with another port group in either the desirable or auto mode. When desirable is enabled, silent operation is the default.

non-silent

(Optional) Use in PAgP mode with the auto or desirable keyword when traffic is expected from the other device.

on

Enable on mode.

In on mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when both connected port groups are in the on mode.

passive

Enable LACP only if a LACP device is detected.

Passive mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port responds to LACP packets it receives but does not initiate LACP packet negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in active mode.

Usage Guidelines

For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you do not have to create a port-channel interface first by using the interface port-channel global configuration command before assigning a physical port to a channel group. Instead, you can use the channel-group interface configuration command. It automatically creates the port-channel interface when the channel group gets its first physical port if the logical interface is not already created. If you create the port-channel interface first, the channel-group-number can be the same as the port-channel-number, or you can use a new number. If you use a new number, the channel-group command dynamically creates a new port channel.

If the port is a UNI or an ENI, you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable it before using the channel-group command. UNIs and ENIs are disabled by default. NNIs are enabled by default.

You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical port that is part of a channel group, but we strongly recommend that you do so.

You create Layer 3 port channels by using the interface port-channel command followed by the no switchport interface configuration command. You should manually configure the port-channel logical interface before putting the interface into the channel group.

After you configure an EtherChannel, configuration changes that you make on the port-channel interface apply to all the physical ports assigned to the port-channel interface. Configuration changes applied to the physical port affect only the port where you apply the configuration. To change the parameters of all ports in an EtherChannel, apply configuration commands to the port-channel interface, for example, spanning-tree commands or commands to configure a Layer 2 EtherChannel as a trunk.

If you do not specify non-silent with the auto or desirable mode, silent is assumed. The silent mode is used when the switch is connected to a device that is not PAgP-capable and seldom, if ever, sends packets. A example of a silent partner is a file server or a packet analyzer that is not generating traffic. In this case, running PAgP on a physical port prevents that port from ever becoming operational. However, it allows PAgP to operate, to attach the port to a channel group, and to use the port for transmission. Both ends of the link cannot be set to silent.

In the on mode, an EtherChannel exists only when a port group in the on mode is connected to another port group in the on mode.


Caution You should exercise care when setting the mode to on (manual configuration). All ports configured in the on mode are bundled in the same group and are forced to have similar characteristics. If the group is misconfigured, packet loss or spanning-tree loops might occur.

Do not configure an EtherChannel in both the PAgP and LACP modes. EtherChannel groups running PAgP and LACP can coexist on the same switch. Individual EtherChannel groups can run either PAgP or LACP, but they cannot interoperate.


Note PAgP and LACP are available only on NNIs and ENIs.


If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol interface configuration command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.

Do not configure a port that is an active or a not-yet-active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x port. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x on an EtherChannel port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x is not enabled.

Do not configure a secure port as part of an EtherChannel or an EtherChannel port as a secure port.

For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.


Caution Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical EtherChannel ports. Do not assign bridge groups on the physical EtherChannel ports because it creates loops.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2 
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable 
Switch(config-if-range)# end 
 
   

This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2 
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active 
Switch(config-if-range)# end 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Use the channel-protocol command only to restrict a channel to LACP or PAgP. If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.


Note PAgP and LACP are available only on network node interfaces (NNIs) and enhanced network interfaces (ENIs).


If the port is a user network interface (UNI) or an ENI, you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable it before using the channel-protocol command. UNIs and ENIs are disabled by default. NNIs are enabled by default.

You must use the channel-group interface configuration command to configure the EtherChannel parameters. The channel-group command also can set the mode for the EtherChannel.

You cannot enable both the PAgP and LACP modes on an EtherChannel group.

PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.

Examples

This example shows how to specify LACP as the protocol that manages the EtherChannel:

Switch(config-if)# channel-protocol lacp
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show etherchannel [channel-group-number] protocol privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Before using the class class-map-name command in policy-map configuration mode, you must create the class by using the class-map class-map-name global configuration command. The class class-default is the class to which traffic is directed if that traffic does not match any of the match criteria in the configured class maps.

Use the policy-map global configuration command to identify the policy map and to enter policy-map configuration mode. After specifying a policy map, you can configure a policy for new classes or modify a policy for any existing classes in that policy map.

An input policy map can have a maximum of 64 classes, plus class-default.

You attach the policy map to a port by using the service-policy interface configuration command.

After entering the class command, you enter policy-map class configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:

bandwidth: specifies the bandwidth allocated for a class belonging to a policy map. For more information, see the bandwidth command.

exit: exits policy-map class configuration mode and returns to policy-map configuration mode.

no: returns a command to its default setting.

police: defines an individual policer or aggregate policer for the classified traffic. The policer specifies the bandwidth limitations and the action to take when the limits are exceeded. For more information, see the police and police aggregate (policy-map class configuration) policy-map class commands.

priority: sets the strict scheduling priority for this class or, when used with the police keyword, sets priority with police. For more information, see the priority policy-map class command.

queue-limit: sets the queue maximum threshold for Weighted Tail Drop (WTD). For more information, see the queue-limit command.

service-policy: configures a QoS service policy to attach to a parent policy map for an input or output policy. For more information, see the service-policy (policy-map class configuration) command.

set: specifies a value to be assigned to the classified traffic. For more information, see the set commands.

shape average: specifies the average traffic shaping rate. For more information, see the shape average command.

To return to policy-map configuration mode, use the exit command. To return to privileged EXEC mode, use the end command.

Examples

This example shows how to create a policy map called policy1, define a class class1, and enter policy-map class configuration mode to set a criterion for the class.

Switch(config)# policy-map policy1
Switch(config-pmap)# class class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show policy-map privileged EXEC command.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the name of the class for which you want to create or to modify class-map match criteria and to enter class-map configuration mode.

The switch supports a maximum of 1024 unique class maps.

You use the class-map command and class-map configuration mode to define packet classification as part of a globally named service policy applied on a per-port basis. When you configure a class map, you can use one or more match commands to specify match criteria. Packets arriving at either the input or output interface (determined by how you configure the service-policy interface configuration command) are checked against the class-map match criteria to determine if the packet belongs to that class.

A match-all class map means that the packet must match all entries and can have no other match statements.

After you are in class-map configuration mode, these configuration commands are available:

description: describes the class map (up to 200 characters). The show class-map privileged EXEC command displays the description and the name of the class map.

exit: exits QoS class-map configuration mode.

match: configures classification criteria. For more information, see the match class-map configuration commands.

no: removes a match statement from a class map.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the class map called class1. By default, the class map is match-all and therefore can contain no other match criteria.

Switch(config)# class-map class1
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to configure a match-any class map with one match criterion, which is an access list called 103. This class map (matching an ACL) is supported only in an input policy map.

Switch(config)# class-map class2
Switch(config-cmap)# match access-group 103
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to delete the class map class1:

Switch(config)# no class-map class1
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A switch running the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) protocol or the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports a built-in protocol migration mechanism that enables it to interoperate with legacy IEEE 802.1D switches. If a rapid-PVST+ switch or an MSTP switch receives a legacy IEEE 802.1D configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) with the protocol version set to 0, it sends only IEEE 802.1D BPDUs on that port. A multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch can also detect that a port is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU, an MST BPDU (Version 3) associated with a different region, or a rapid spanning-tree (RST) BPDU (Version 2).

However, the switch does not automatically revert to the rapid-PVST+ or the MSTP mode if it no longer receives IEEE 802.1D BPDUs. It cannot learn whether the legacy switch has been removed from the link unless the legacy switch is the designated switch. Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols command in this situation.

Examples

This example shows how to restart the protocol migration process on a port:

Switch# clear spanning-tree detected-protocols interface gigabitethernet0/1

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(52)SE

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Configure any desired table-maps before configuring marking or queuing of CPU traffic.

This feature must be configured globally for a switch; it cannot be configured per-port or per-protocol.

Enter each cpu traffic qos marking action on a separate line.

The cpu traffic qos cos global configuration command configures CoS marking for CPU-generated traffic by using either a specific CoS value or a table map, but not both. A new configuration overwrites the existing configuration.

When the cpu traffic qos cos global configuration command is configured with table maps, you can configure two map from values at a time—CoS and either DSCP or precedence.

If the cpu traffic qos cos global configuration command is configured with only a map from value of IP-DSCP or IP-precedence:

The CoS value of IP packets is mapped by using the IP-DSCP (or IP-precedence) value in the packet and the configured table map. Packets can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked CoS value.

The CoS value of non-IP packets remains unchanged.

If the cpu traffic qos cos global configuration command is configured with a map from value of CoS:

The CoS value of IP packets is mapped by using the CoS value in the packet and the configured table map. Packets can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked CoS value.

The CoS value of non-IP packets is mapped by using the CoS value in the packet and the configured table map. Packets can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked CoS value.

If the cpu traffic qos cos global configuration command is configured with a map from value of DSCP or precedence and CoS:

The CoS value of IP packets is mapped by using the DSCP or precedence value in the packet and the configured table map. Packets can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked CoS value.

The CoS value of non-IP packets is mapped by using the CoS value in the packet and the configured table map. Packets can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked CoS value.

Examples

This example shows how to mark the CoS of CPU-generated IP traffic (including IP-SLA and TWAMP) based on the DSCP value in the packet and to configure egress queuing based on the CoS value.

The sample configuration has these results:

All CPU-generated IP traffic is queued on the egress port based on the DSCP value and the configured output policy map called output-policy.

All IP SLA or TWAMP probes with the DSCP value ef to simulate voice traffic are assigned to the voice class.

All IP SLA or TWAMP probes with the DSCP values af41, af42 and af43 to simulate video traffic are assigned to the video class.

All IP control protocol traffic with the DSCP values 48 and 56 are assigned to the network-internetwork-control class.

The rest of the IP traffic is assigned to the default class.

All CPU-generated non-IP traffic with CoS 5 is assigned to the voice class.

All CPU-generated non-IP traffic with CoS 3 is assigned to the video class.

All CPU-generated non-IP traffic with CoS 6 and 7 is assigned to the network-internetwork-control class.

All CFM traffic with CoS 5 is assigned to the voice class.

All CFM traffic with CoS 3 is assigned to the video class.

All CFM traffic with CoS 6 and 7 is assigned to the network-internetwork-control class.

Use the cpu traffic qos dscp command in global configuration mode to configure quality of service (QoS) marking based on a differentiated services code point (DSCP) value for control plane traffic. To return to the default value, use the no form of this command.

cpu traffic qos dscp {dscp_value | cos [table-map table-map-name] | dscp [table-map table-map-name] | precedence [table-map table-map-name]}

no cpu traffic qos dscp {dscp_value | cos [table-map table-map-name] | dscp [table-map table-map-name] | precedence [table-map table-map-name]}

Syntax Description

dscp-value

Specify the IP-DSCP value. The range is from 0 to 63. If no IP-DSCP value is configured, the protocol-specific default value for each packet is applied.

cos

Configure the IP-DSCP value based on the CoS value in the packet, using a table map.

table-map table-map-name

Specify the table-map to use for marking the CPU traffic IP-DSCP based on the CoS value in the packet.

dscp

Configure the IP-DSCP value based on the IP-DSCP in the packet using a table map.

table-map table-map-name

Specify the table-map to use for marking the CPU traffic IP-DSCP based on the IP-DSCP value in the packet.

precedence

Configure the IP-precedence value based on the IP-precedence value in the packet using a table map.

table-map table-map-name

Specify the table-map to use for marking the CPU traffic IP-DSCP value based on the IP-precedence value in the packet.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This feature must be configured globally for a switch; it cannot be configured per-port or per-protocol.

Enter each cpu traffic qos marking action on a separate line.

The cpu traffic qos dscp global configuration command configures IP-DSCP marking for CPU-generated IP traffic by using either a specific DSCP value or a table map, but not both. A new configuration overwrites the existing configuration.

The cpu traffic qos dscp and cpu traffic qos precedence global configuration commands are mutually exclusive. A new configuration overwrites the existing configuration.

When the cpu traffic qos dscp global configuration command is configured with table maps, you can configure only one map from value at a time—DSCP, precedence, or CoS. A new configuration overwrites the existing configuration. Packets marked by this command can be classified and queued by an output policy map based on the marked DSCP or precedence value.

You cannot configure a map from value of both DSCP and precedence. A new configuration overwrites the existing configuration.

Examples

This example shows how to configure egress queuing based on the DSCP value of CPU-generated IP packets.

The sample configuration has these results:

All CPU-generated IP traffic queues on the egress port, based on its IP DSCP value, and the configured output policy map output-policy.

All IP SLA or TWAMP probes with the DSCP value ef to simulate voice traffic are assigned to the voice class.

All IP SLA or TWAMP probes with the DSCP values af41, af42 and af43 to simulate video traffic are assigned to the video class.

All IP control protocol traffic with the DSCP values 48 and 56 are assigned to the network-internetwork-control class.

The rest of the IP traffic is assigned to the default class.

All CPU-generated non-IP traffic is statically mapped to a fixed queue on the egress port.

All CFM traffic is queued to the default class because there is no class based on CoS.

Switch(config)# cpu traffic qos dscp dscp

This example shows how to:

Mark the DSCP value of CPU-generated IP traffic (including IP-SLA and TWAMP) based on the DSCP value in the packet.

Mark the CoS of CPU-generated IP traffic (including IP-SLA and TWAMP) based on the DSCP value in the packet.

Mark the CoS of CPU-generated non-IP traffic based on the CoS value in the packet.

Mark all CPU-generated traffic with the QoS group.

Configure egress queuing based on the QoS group.

The example has these results:

All CPU-generated IP traffic with the DSCP values 46, 48, and 56 retain the existing markings.

For all other CPU-generated IP packets, the DSCP value is reset to 0.

All CPU-generated IP traffic with the DSCP values 46, 48, and 56 are mapped to corresponding CoS values of 5, 6, and 7, respectively.

For all other CPU-generated IP packets, the CoS value resets to 0.

All CPU-generated non-IP traffic with the CoS values of 5, 6, and 7 retain the existing markings.

For all other CPU-generated non-IP packets, the CoS value resets to 0.

All CPU-generated traffic goes through a single class called cpu-traffic. The user-voice classes user-voice and user-video are reserved for user traffic. As a result, CPU traffic and user traffic are separated into different queues on the egress port.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The macro name is a 32-character maximum character string.

A macro can contain up to five ranges.

All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs, but you can combine multiple interface types in a macro.

When entering the interface-range, use this format:

type {first-interface} - {last-interface}

You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when entering an interface-range. For example, gigabitethernet 0/1 - 2 is a valid range; gigabitethernet 0/1-2 is not a valid range

Valid values for type and interface:

vlan vlan-id, where vlan-id is from 1 to 4094

VLAN interfaces must have been configured with the interface vlan command (the show running-config privileged EXEC command displays the configured VLAN interfaces). VLAN interfaces not displayed by the show running-config command cannot be used in interface-ranges.

port-channel port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 48

fastethernet module/{first port} - {last port}

gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}

For physical interfaces:

module is always 0.

the range is type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet 0/1 - 2).

When you define a range, you must enter a space before the hyphen (-), for example:

gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

You can also enter multiple ranges. When you define multiple ranges, you must enter a space after the first entry before the comma (,). The space after the comma is optional, for example:

fastethernet0/3, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

fastethernet0/3 -4, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

Examples

This example shows how to create a multiple-interface macro:

Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 fastethernet0/1 - 2, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2

Usage Guidelines

If you use the /force keyword, you are prompted once at the beginning of the deletion process to confirm the deletion.

If you use the /recursive keyword without the /force keyword, you are prompted to confirm the deletion of every file.

The prompting behavior depends on the setting of the file prompt global configuration command. By default, the switch prompts for confirmation on destructive file operations. For more information about this command, see the Cisco IOS Command Reference for Release 12.1.

Examples

This example shows how to remove the directory that contains the old software image after a successful download of a new image:

Switch# delete /force /recursive flash:/old-image
 
   

You can verify that the directory was removed by entering the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command.

The message includes the access list name and sequence number, whether the packet was denied; the protocol, whether it was TCP, UDP, ICMP, or a number; and, if appropriate, the source and destination addresses and source and destination port numbers. The message is generated for the first packet that matches, and then at 5-minute intervals, including the number of packets denied in the prior 5-minute interval.

Note Logging is not supported for port ACLs.

log-input

(Optional) Provide the same function as the log keyword, but the logging message also includes the receiving interface.

routing

(Optional) Match packets with the routing extension header.

sequence value

(Optional) Specify the sequence number for the access list statement. The acceptable range is from 1 to 4294967295.

time-range name

(Optional) Specify the time range that applies to the deny statement. The name of the time range and its restrictions are specified by the time-range and absolute or periodic commands, respectively.

icmp-type

(Optional) Specify an ICMP message type for filtering ICMP packets. ICMP packets can be filtered by an ICMP message type. The type is a number from 0 to 255.

icmp-code

(Optional) Specify an ICMP message code for filtering ICMP packets. ICMP packets that are filtered by ICMP message type can also be filtered by the ICMP message code. The code is a number from 0 to 255.

icmp-message

(Optional) Specify an ICMP message name for filtering ICMP packets. ICMP packets can be filtered by an ICMP message name or an ICMP message type and code. The possible names are listed in the "Usage Guidelines" section.

ack

(Optional) Only for the TCP protocol: Acknowledgment (ACK) bit set.

established

(Optional) Only for the TCP protocol: Means the connection has been established. A match occurs if the TCP datagram has the ACK or RST bits set. The nonmatching case is that of the initial TCP datagram to form a connection.

fin

(Optional) Only for the TCP protocol: Fin bit set; no more data from sender.

neq {port | protocol}

(Optional) Match only packets that are not on a given port number.

psh

(Optional) Only for the TCP protocol: Push function bit set.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(50)SE

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The deny (IPv6 access-list configuration mode) command is similar to the deny (IPv4 access-list configuration mode) command, but it is IPv6-specific.

Use the deny (IPv6) command after the ipv6 access-list command to enter IPv6 access list configuration mode and to define the conditions under which a packet passes the access list.

Specifying IPv6 for the protocol argument matches the IPv6 header of the packet.

By default, the first statement in an access list is number 10, and the subsequent statements are numbered in increments of 10.

You can add permit, deny, or remark statements to an existing access list without re-entering the entire list. To add a new statement somewhere other than at the end of the list, create a new statement with an appropriate entry number between two existing entry numbers to show where it belongs.


Note Every IPv6 ACL has implicit permit icmp any any nd-na, permit icmp any any nd-ns, and deny ipv6 any any statements as its last match conditions. The two permit conditions allow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery. To disallow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery and to deny icmp any any nd-na or icmp any any nd-ns, there must be an explicit deny entry in the ACL. For the three implicit statements to take effect, an IPv6 ACL must contain at least one entry.

The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses the IPv6 network layer service. Therefore, by default, IPv6 ACLs implicitly allow IPv6 neighbor discovery packets to be sent and received on an interface. In IPv4, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is equivalent to the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data-link layer protocol. Therefore, by default, IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.


Both the source-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length and destination-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length arguments are used for traffic filtering. (The source prefix filters traffic based upon its source; the destination prefix filters traffic based upon its destination.)

The switch supports IPv6 address matching for a full range of prefix lengths.

The fragments keyword is an option only if the protocol is ipv6 and the operator [port-number] arguments are not specified.

This is a list of ICMP message names:

beyond-scope

destination-unreachable

echo-reply

echo-request

hop-limit

mld-query

mld-reduction

mld-report

Examples

This example configures the IPv6 access list named CISCO and applies the access list to outbound traffic on a Layer 3 interface. The first deny entry prevents all packets that have a destination TCP port number greater than 5000 from leaving the interface. The second deny entry prevents all packets that have a source UDP port number less than 5000 from leaving the interface. The second deny also logs all matches to the console. The first permit entry permits all ICMP packets to leave the interface. The second permit entry permits all other traffic to leave the interface. The second permit entry is necessary because an implicit deny-all condition is at the end of each IPv6 access list.

Switch(config)# ipv6 access-list CISCO
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# deny tcp any any gt 5000
Switch config-ipv6-acl)# deny ::/0 lt 5000 ::/0 log

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You enter MAC-access list configuration mode by using the mac access-list extended global configuration command.

If you use the host keyword, you cannot enter an address mask; if you do not use the host keyword, you must enter an address mask.

When an access control entry (ACE) is added to an access control list, an implied deny-any-any condition exists at the end of the list. That is, if there are no matches, the packets are denied. However, before the first ACE is added, the list permits all packets.


Note For more information about named MAC extended access lists, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to define the named MAC extended access list to deny NETBIOS traffic from any source to MAC address 00c0.00a0.03fa. Traffic matching this list is denied.

Switch(config-ext-macl)# deny any host 00c0.00a0.03fa netbios.
 
   

This example shows how to remove the deny condition from the named MAC extended access list:

Switch(config-ext-macl)# no deny any 00c0.00a0.03fa 0000.0000.0000 netbios.
 
   

This example denies all packets with Ethertype 0x4321:

Switch(config-ext-macl)# deny any any 0x4321 0
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show access-lists privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

You must globally enable IEEE 802.1x on the switch by using the dot1x system-auth-control global configuration command before enabling IEEE 802.1x on a specific port.

The IEEE 802.1x protocol is supported on Layer 2 static-access ports and Layer 3 routed ports.

You can use the auto keyword only if the port is not configured as one of these:

Trunk port—If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x on a trunk port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x is not enabled. If you try to change the mode of an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port to trunk, an error message appears, and the port mode is not changed.

Dynamic-access ports—If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x on a dynamic-access (VLAN Query Protocol [VQP]) port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x is not enabled. If you try to change an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port to dynamic VLAN assignment, an error message appears, and the VLAN configuration is not changed.

EtherChannel port—Do not configure a port that is an active or a not-yet-active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x port. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x on an EtherChannel port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x is not enabled.

Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) destination ports—You can enable IEEE 802.1x on a port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port. However, IEEE 802.1x is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN or RSPAN destination. You can enable IEEE 802.1x on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.

To globally disable IEEE 802.1x on the switch, use the no dot1x system-auth-control global configuration command. To disable IEEE 802.1x on a specific port, use the no dot1x port-control interface configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable IEEE 802.1x on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1

duplex

Use the duplex interface configuration command to specify the duplex mode of operation for a port. Use the no form of this command to return the port to its default value.

duplex {auto | full | half}

no duplex

Syntax Description

auto

Enable automatic duplex configuration; port automatically detects whether it should run in full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the attached device mode.

full

Enable full-duplex mode.

half

Enable half-duplex mode (only for interfaces operating at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps). You cannot configure half-duplex mode for interfaces operating at 1000 Mbps or 10,000 Mbps.


Defaults

The default is auto for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports and for 1000BASE-T small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.

The default is full for 100BASE-FX MMF SFP modules.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command is only available when a 1000BASE-T SFP module or a 100BASE-FX MMF SFP module is in the SFP module slot. All other SFP modules operate only in full-duplex mode.

When a 1000BASE-T SFP module is in the SFP module slot, you can configure duplex mode to auto or full.

When a 100BASE-FX MMF SFP module is in the SFP module slot, you can configure duplex mode to half or full. Although the auto keyword is available, it puts the interface in half-duplex mode (the default) because the 100BASE-FX MMF SFP module does not support autonegotiation.

Certain ports can be configured to be either full duplex or half duplex. Applicability of this command depends on the device to which the switch is attached.

For Fast Ethernet ports, setting the port to auto has the same effect as specifying half if the attached device does not autonegotiate the duplex parameter.

For Gigabit Ethernet ports, setting the port to auto has the same effect as specifying full if the attached device does not autonegotiate the duplex parameter.


Note Half-duplex mode is supported on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces if duplex mode is auto and the connected device is operating at half duplex. However, you cannot configure these interfaces to operate in half-duplex mode.


If both ends of the line support autonegotiation, we highly recommend using the default autonegotiation settings. If one interface supports autonegotiation and the other end does not, configure duplex and speed on both interfaces; do use the auto setting on the supported side.

If the speed is set to auto, the switch negotiates with the device at the other end of the link for the speed setting and then forces the speed setting to the negotiated value. The duplex setting remains as configured on each end of the link, which could result in a duplex setting mismatch.

You can configure the duplex setting when the speed is set to auto.


Caution Changing the interface speed and duplex mode configuration might shut down and re-enable the interface during the reconfiguration.


Note For guidelines on setting the switch speed and duplex parameters, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to configure an interface for full duplex operation:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# duplex full
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces privileged EXEC command.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A cause (all, dhcp-rate-limit, and so forth) is the reason why the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in an error-disabled state, an operational state that is similar to a link-down state.

When a port is error-disabled, it is effectively shut down, and no traffic is sent or received on the port. For the BPDU guard and port-security features, you can configure the switch to shut down just the offending VLAN on the port when a violation occurs, instead of shutting down the entire port.

If you set a recovery mechanism for the cause by entering the errdisable recovery global configuration command for the cause, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation when all causes have timed out. If you do not set a recovery mechanism, you must enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown commands to manually recover an interface from the error-disabled state.

Examples

This example shows how to enable error-disabled detection for the link-flap error-disabled cause:

Switch(config)# errdisable detect cause link-flap
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show errdisable detect privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

A cause (all, bpduguard and so forth) is defined as the reason that the error-disabled state occurred. When a cause is detected on an interface, the interface is placed in error-disabled state, an operational state similar to link-down state. If you do not enable errdisable recovery for the cause, the interface stays in error-disabled state until you enter a shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration command. If you enable the recovery for a cause, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation again when all the causes have timed out.

Otherwise, you must enter the shutdown then no shutdown commands to manually recover an interface from the error-disabled state

Examples

Usage Guidelines

The 802.1ad UNI port commands are typically used on the provider-edge switch ports interfacing with a customer device. For S-bridge UNI ports, you configure the customer device switch port as a trunk port and the S-bridge UNI on the interfacing PE device as an access port. The 802.1ad S-bridge UNI port provides an all-to-one bundling function for the set of customer C-VLANs in the provider network.

The 802.1ad C-bridge UNI ports provide selective bundling as well as all-to-one bundling capabilities for customer VLANs.

You should configure an 802.1ad NNI on all the interconnecting trunk links in the 802.1ad provider cloud to achieve end-to-end Layer 2 protocol tunneling.

You cannot configure a port as an isolated C-UNI or S-UNI port if the port is already configured as an 802.1ad port type. However, you can use the ethernet dot1ad interface command to change an isolated dot1ad port to a nonisolated S-UNI or C-UNI port.

An S-UNI or isolated S-UNI port must be an access port. A C-UNI or isolated C-UNI port can be an access port or a trunk port.

Use the ethernet lmi global configuration command to configure enable Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) and to configure the switch as a provider-edge (PE) or customer-edge (CE) device. Use the no form of this command to disable E-LMI globally or to disable E-LMI CE.

ethernet lmi {ce | global}

no ethernet lmi {ce | global}

Syntax Description

ce

Enable the switch as an E-LMI CE device.

Note Ethernet LMI is disabled by default. You must enable it globally or on an interface in addition to enabling it in CE mode.

global

Enable E-LMI globally on the switch. By default, the switch is a PE device.


Defaults

Ethernet LMI is disabled. When enabled with the global keyword, by default the switch is a PR device.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use ethernet lmi global command to enable E-LMI globally. Use ethernet lmi ce command to enable the switch as E-LMI CE device.

Ethernet LMI is disabled by default on an interface and must be explicitly enabled by entering the ethernet lmi interface interface configuration command. The ethernet lmi global command enables Ethernet LMI in PE mode on all interfaces for an entire device. The benefit of this command is that you can enable Ethernet LMI on all interfaces with one command instead of enabling Ethernet LMI separately on each interface. To enable the interface in CE mode, you must also enter the ethernet lmi ce global configuration command.

To disable Ethernet LMI on a specific interface after you have entered the ethernet lmi global command, enter the no ethernet lmi interface interface configuration command.

The sequence in which you enter the ethernet lmi interface interface configuration and ethernet lmi global global configuration commands is important. The latest command entered overrides the prior command entered.


Note For information about the ethernet lmi interface configuration command, see the Cisco IOS Carrier Ethernet Command Reference at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cether/command/reference/ce_book.html


To enable the switch as an Ethernet LMI CE device, you must enter both the ethernet lmi global and ethernet lmi ce commands. By default Ethernet LMI is disabled, and, when enabled the switch is in provider-edge mode unless you also enter the ethernet lmi ce command.

When the switch is configured as an Ethernet LMI CE device, these interface configuration commands and keywords are visible, but not supported:

service instance

ethernet uni

ethernet lmi t392

Examples

This example shows how to configure the switch as an Ethernet LMI CE device:

Switch(config)# ethernet lmi global
Switch(config)# ethernet lmi ce

ethernet lmi ce-vlan map

Use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map Ethernet service configuration command to configure Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) parameters. Use the no form of this command to remove the configuration.

ethernet lmi ce-vlan map {vlan-id | any | default | untagged}

no ethernet lmi ce-vlan map {vlan-id | any | default | untagged}

Syntax Description

vlan-id

Enter the customer VLAN ID or VLAN IDs to map to. You can enter a single VLAN ID (the range is 1 to 4094), a range of VLAN IDs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLAN IDs separated by commas.

any

Map all VLANs (untagged and VLANs 1 to 4094).

default

Map to the default service instance. You can use the default keyword only if you have already mapped the service instance to a VLAN or a group of VLANs.

untagged

Map only untagged VLANs.


Defaults

No E-LMI mapping parameters are defined.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure an E-LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map for a particular user-network interface (UNI).

On an ME-3400E interface configured for VLAN mapping, use the customer VLAN ID (C-VLAN) value when entering the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map vlan-id service instance configuration mode command. Do not use the service-provider VLAN ID (S-VLAN).

E-LMI mapping parameters are related to the bundling characteristics set by entering the ethernet uni {bundle [all-to-one] | multiplex} interface configuration command.

Using the default UNI attribute (bundling and multiplexing) supports multiple EVCs and multiple VLANs.

Entering the ethernet uni bundle command supports only one EVC with one or more VLANs.

Entering the ethernet uni bundle all-to-one command supports multiple VLANs but only one EVC. If you use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map any Ethernet service configuration command, you must first configure all-to-one bundling on the interface.

Entering the ethernet uni multiplex command supports multiple EVCs with only one VLAN per EVC.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an E-LMI customer VLAN-to-EVC map to map EVC test to customer VLAN 101 in service instance 333 on the interface:

Switch(config-if)# service instance 333 ethernet test
Switch(config-if-srv)# ethernet lmi ce-vlan map 101

This command was introduced.

12.2(50)SE

The vlan and terminal keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure Ethernet loopback only on physical ports, not on VLANs or port channels.

A facility loopback puts the port into a state where the link is up, but the line protocol is down for regular traffic. The switch loops back all received traffic.

When you configure VLAN loopback by entering the vlan vlan-list keywords, the other VLANs on the port continue to be switched normally, allowing non-disruptive loopback testing.

The loopback ends after a port event, such as a port shutdown or a change from a switchport to a routed port.

For a terminal loopback, the software sees the port as up, but the link is down, and no packets are sent. Any configuration changes on the port immediately affect the traffic being looped back.

You can configure one loopback per port, and a maximum of two loopbacks per switch. You can configure only on terminal loopback per switch. Therefore, a switch could have one facility loopback and one terminal loopback or two facility loopbacks.

Ethernet loopback interactions with other features:

You cannot configure SPAN and loopback on a switch at the same time. If you try to configure SPAN on any port while loopback is configured on any port, you receive an error message.

The port loopback function shares hardware resources with the VLAN-mapping feature. If not enough TCAM resources are available because of VLAN-mapping configuration, when you attempt to configure loopback, you receive an error message, and the configuration is not allowed.

If loopback is active on a port, you cannot add that port to a Flex Link pair or to an Ether Channel.

After you have configured Ethernet loopback, you enter the ethernet loopback start interface-id privileged EXEC command to begin the loopback. To stop loopback, enter the ethernet loopback stop {interface-id | all} command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an Ethernet loopback to swap the MAC source and destination addresses, to time out after 30 seconds, to start the loopback process, and to verify the configuration. You must confirm the action before configuring.

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# ethernet loopback facility mac-address swap timeout 30 supported
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# ethernet loopback start gigabitethernet 0/1
This is an intrusive loopback.
Therefore, while you test Ethernet connectivity,
you will be unable to pass traffic across that link.

Usage Guidelines

You can apply this command to an Ethernet OAM template and to an interface. The interface configuration takes precedence over template configuration. To enter OAM template configuration mode, use the template template-name global configuration command.

The Cisco ME switch does not generate Link Fault or Critical Event OAM PDUs. However, if these PDUs are received from a link partner, they are processed. The switch supports generating and receiving Dying Gasp OAM PDUs when Ethernet OAM is disabled, the interface is shut down, the interface enters the error-disabled state, or the switch is reloading. The switch can also generate and receive Dying Gasp PDUs based on loss of power. The PDU includes a reason code to indicate why it was sent.

You can configure an error-disable action to occur if the remote link goes down, if the remote device is disabled, or if the remote device disables Ethernet OAM on the interface.

For complete command and configuration information for the Ethernet OAM protocol, see the Cisco IOS Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cether/configuration/guide/12_2sr/ce_12_2sr_book.html

For information about other CFM and Ethernet OAM commands, see the Cisco IOS Carrier Ethernet Command Reference at:

ethernet uni

Use the ethernet uni interface configuration command to set UNI bundling attributes. Use the no form of this command to return to the default bundling configuration.

ethernet uni {bundle [all-to-one] | multiplex}

no ethernet uni {bundle | multiplex}

Syntax Description

bundle

Configure the UNI to support bundling without multiplexing. This service supports only one Ethernet virtual connection (EVC) at the UNI with one or multiple customer edge (CE)-VLAN IDs mapped to the EVC.

all-to-one

(Optional) Configure the UNI to support bundling with a single EVC at the UNI and all CE VLANs mapped to that EVC.

multiplex

Configure the UNI to support multiplexing without bundling. The UNI can have one or more EVCs with a single CE-VLAN ID mapped to each EVC.


Defaults

If bundling or multiplexing attributes are not configured, the default is bundling with multiplexing. The UNI then has one or more EVCs with one or more CE VLANs mapped to each EVC.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The UNI attributes determine the functionality that the interface has regarding bundling VLANs, multiplexing EVCs, and the combination of these.

If you want both bundling and multiplexing services for a UNI, you do not need to configure bundling or multiplexing. If you want only bundling, or only multiplexing, you need to configure it appropriately.

When you configure, change, or remove a UNI service type, the EVC and CE-VLAN ID configurations are checked to ensure that the configurations and the UNI service types match. If the configurations do not match, the command is rejected.

If you intend to use the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map any service configuration command, you must first configure all-to-one bundling on the interface. See the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map section for more information.

Examples

This example shows how to configure bundling without multiplexing:

Switch(config-if)# ethernet uni bundle
 
   

To verify UNI service type, enter the show ethernet service interface detail privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

You configure exceed actions for packets when the packet rate is between the configured conform rate and the conform rate plus the exceed burst.

If the conform action is set to drop, the exceed and violate actions are automatically set to drop. If the exceed action is set to drop, the violate action is automatically set to drop.

You can configure exceed-action to send the packet unmodified, mark using explicit values, and use all combinations of enhanced packet marking. Enhanced packet marking provides the ability to modify a QoS marking based on any incoming QoS marking and table maps. The switch also supports the ability to mark multiple QoS parameters for the same class and to simultaneously configure conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action marking.

Access policy-map class police configuration mode by entering the police policy-map class command. See the police command for more information.

You can use this command to set one or more exceed actions for a traffic class.

Examples

This example shows how configure multiple actions in a policy map that sets an information rate of 23000 bits per second (b/s) and a burst rate of 10000 bps:

Switch(config)# policy-map map1
Switch(config-pmap)# class class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 23000 10000
Switch(config-pmap-c-police)# conform-action transmit 
Switch(config-pmap-c-police)# exceed-action set-prec-transmit prec table

flowcontrol

Use the flowcontrol interface configuration command to set the receive flow-control state for an interface. When flow control send is operable and on for a device and it detects any congestion at its end, it notifies the link partner or the remote device of the congestion by sending a pause frame. When flow control receive is on for a device and it receives a pause frame, it stops sending any data packets. This prevents any loss of data packets during the congestion period.

Use the receive off keywords to disable flow control.

flowcontrol receive {desired | off | on}


Note The Cisco ME switch can only receive pause frames.


Syntax Description

receive

Set whether the interface can receive flow-control packets from a remote device.

desired

Allow an interface to operate with an attached device that is required to send flow-control packets or with an attached device that is not required to but can send flow-control packets.

off

Turn off the ability of an attached device to send flow-control packets to an interface.

on

Allow an interface to operate with an attached device that is required to send flow-control packets or with an attached device that is not required to but can send flow-control packets.


Defaults

The default is flowcontrol receive off.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The switch does not support sending flow-control pause frames. If the port is a user network interface (UNI) or enhanced network interface (ENI), you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable it before using the flowcontrol command. UNIs and ENIs are disabled by default. Network node interfaces (NNIs) are enabled by default.

Note that the on and desired keywords have the same result.

When you use the flowcontrol command to set a port to control traffic rates during congestion, you are setting flow control on a port to one of these conditions:

receive on or desired: The port cannot send out pause frames, but can operate with an attached device that is required to or is able to send pause frames; the port is able to receive pause frames.

receive off: Flow control does not operate in either direction. In case of congestion, no indication is given to the link partner and no pause frames are sent or received by either device.

Table 2-2 shows the flow control results on local and remote ports for a combination of settings. The table assumes that receive desired has the same results as using the receive on keywords.

hw-module module [slot-number] logging onboard [message level level]

no hw-module module [slot-number] logging onboard [message level]

Syntax Description

slot-number

(Optional) The slot number is always 1 and is not relevant for the ME-3400E.

message level level

(Optional) Specify the severity of the hardware-related messages that are stored in the flash memory. The range is from 1 to 7 with 1 being the most severe.


Defaults

OBFL is enabled, and all messages appear.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

We recommend that you keep OBFL enabled and do not clear the data stored in the flash memory.

To ensure that the time stamps in the OBFL data logs are accurate, manually set the system clock, or configure it by using Network Time Protocol (NTP).

If you do not enter the message level level parameter, all the hardware-related messages generated by the switch are stored in the flash memory.

The optional slot number is always 1. Entering the hw-module module [slot-number] logging onboard [message level level] command has the same result as entering the hw-module module logging onboard [message level level] command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable OBFL on a switch stack and to specify that all the hardware-related messages are stored in the flash memory:

Switch(config)# hw-module module logging onboard
 
   

This example shows how to enable OBFL on a switch and to specify that only severity 1 hardware-related messages are stored in the flash memory:

Switch(config)# hw-module module logging onboard message level 1
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show logging onboard privileged EXEC command.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you do not have to create a port-channel interface first before assigning a physical port to a channel group. Instead, you can use the channel-group interface configuration command. It automatically creates the port-channel interface when the channel group gets its first physical port. If you create the port-channel interface first, the channel-group-number can be the same as the port-channel-number, or you can use a new number. If you use a new number, the channel-group command dynamically creates a new port channel.

You create Layer 3 port channels by using the interface port-channel command followed by the no switchport interface configuration command. You should manually configure the port-channel logical interface before putting the interface into the channel group.

Only one port channel in a channel group is allowed.


Caution When using a port-channel interface as a routed port, do not assign Layer 3 addresses on the physical ports that are assigned to the channel group.


Caution Do not assign bridge groups on the physical ports in a channel group used as a Layer 3 port-channel interface because it creates loops. You must also disable spanning tree.

Follow these guidelines when you use the interface port-channel command:

If you want to use the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), you must configure it only on the physical port and not on the port-channel interface.


Note CDP is available only on network node interfaces (NNIs) and enhanced network interfaces (ENIs).


Do not configure a port that is an active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x port. If IEEE 802.1x is enabled on a not-yet active port of an EtherChannel, the port does not join the EtherChannel.

For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to create a port-channel interface with a port channel number of 5:

Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC or show etherchannel channel-group-number detail privileged EXEC command.

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you enter interface range configuration mode, all interface parameters you enter are attributed to all interfaces within the range.

For VLANs, you can use the interface range command only on existing VLAN switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). To display VLAN SVIs, enter the show running-config privileged EXEC command. VLANs not displayed cannot be used in the interface range command. The commands entered under interface range command are applied to all existing VLAN SVIs in the range.

All configuration changes made to an interface range are saved to NVRAM, but the interface range itself is not saved to NVRAM.

You can enter the interface range in two ways:

Specifying up to five interface ranges

Specifying a previously defined interface-range macro

All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs. However, you can define up to five interface ranges with a single command, with each range separated by a comma.

Valid values for port-range type and interface:

vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, where VLAN ID is from 1 to 4094

fastethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where module is always 0

gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where module is always 0

For physical interfaces:

module is always 0

the range is type 0/number - number (for example, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2)

port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is from 1 to 48


Note When you use the interface range command with port channels, the first and last port channel number in the range must be active port channels.


When you define a range, you must enter a space between the first entry and the hyphen (-):

interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
 
   

When you define multiple ranges, you must still enter a space after the first entry and before the comma (,):

interface range fastethernet0/1 - 2, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
 
   

You cannot specify both a macro and an interface range in the same command.

A single interface can also be specified in port-range (this would make the command similar to the interface interface-id global configuration command).


Note For more information about configuring interface ranges, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to use the interface range command to enter interface range configuration mode to apply commands to two ports:

Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)#
 
   

This example shows how to use a port-range macro macro1 for the same function. The advantage is that you can reuse macro1 until you delete it.

Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# interface range macro macro1
Switch(config-if-range)#

interface vlan

Use the interface vlan global configuration command to create or access a switch virtual interface (SVI) and to enter interface configuration mode. Use the no form of this command to delete an SVI.

interface vlan vlan-id

Defaults

The default VLAN interface is VLAN 1.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

SVIs are created the first time that you enter the interface vlan vlan-id command for a particular vlan. The vlan-id corresponds to the VLAN-tag associated with data frames on an IEEE 802.1Q encapsulated trunk or the VLAN ID configured for an access port.


Note When you create an SVI, it does not become active until it is associated with a physical port.


If you delete an SVI by entering the no interface vlan vlan-id command, the deleted interface is no longer visible in the output from the show interfaces privileged EXEC command.


Note You cannot delete the VLAN 1 interface.


You can reinstate a deleted SVI by entering the interface vlan vlan-id command for the deleted interface. The interface comes back up, but much of the previous configuration will be gone.

The interrelationship between the number of SVIs configured on a switch and the number of other features being configured might have an impact on CPU utilization due to hardware limitations. You can use the sdm prefer global configuration command to reallocate system hardware resources based on templates and feature tables. For more information, see the sdm prefer command.

Examples

This example shows how to create VLAN ID 23 and enter interface configuration mode:

Switch(config)# interface vlan 23
Switch(config-if)#
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces and show interfaces vlan vlan-id privileged EXEC commands.

ip access-group

Use the ip access-group interface configuration command to control access to a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface. Use the no form of this command to remove all access groups or the specified access group from the interface. If the switch is running the metro IP access image, you can also control access to Layer 3 interfaces.

ip access-group {access-list-number | name} {in | out}

no ip access-group [access-list-number | name] {in | out}

Syntax Description

access-list-number

The number of the IP access control list (ACL). The range is 1 to 199 or 1300 to 2699.

name

The name of an IP ACL, specified in the ip access-list global configuration command.

in

Specify filtering on inbound packets.

out

Specify filtering on outbound packets. This keyword is valid only on Layer 3 interfaces.


Defaults

No access list is applied to the interface.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can apply named or numbered standard or extended IP access lists to an interface. To define an access list by name, use the ip access-list global configuration command. To define a numbered access list, use the access list global configuration command. You can used numbered standard access lists ranging from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999 or extended access lists ranging from 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699.

The switch must be running the metro IP access image for Layer 3 support.

You can use this command to apply an access list to a Layer 2 interface (port ACL) or Layer 3 interface. However, note these limitations for port ACLs:

You can only apply ACLs in the inbound direction; the out keyword is not supported for Layer 2 interfaces.

You can only apply one IP ACL and one MAC ACL per interface.

Port ACLs do not support logging; if the log keyword is specified in the IP ACL, it is ignored.

An IP ACL applied to a Layer 2 interface only filters IP packets. To filter non-IP packets, use the mac access-group interface configuration command with MAC extended ACLs.

You can use router ACLs, input port ACLs, and VLAN maps on the same switch. However, a port ACL always takes precedence. When both an input port ACL and a VLAN map are applied, incoming packets received on ports with the port ACL applied are filtered by the port ACL. Other packets are filtered by the VLAN map.

When an input port ACL is applied to an interface and a VLAN map is applied to a VLAN that the interface is a member of, incoming packets received on ports with the ACL applied are filtered by the port ACL. Other packets are filtered by the VLAN map.

When an input router ACL and input port ACLs exist in an switch virtual interface (SVI), incoming packets received on ports to which a port ACL is applied are filtered by the port ACL. Incoming routed IP packets received on other ports are filtered by the router ACL. Other packets are not filtered.

When an output router ACL and input port ACLs exist in an SVI, incoming packets received on the ports to which a port ACL is applied are filtered by the port ACL. Outgoing routed IP packets are filtered by the router ACL. Other packets are not filtered.

When a VLAN map, input router ACLs, and input port ACLs exist in an SVI, incoming packets received on the ports to which a port ACL is applied are only filtered by the port ACL. Incoming routed IP packets received on other ports are filtered by both the VLAN map and the router ACL. Other packets are filtered only by the VLAN map.

When a VLAN map, output router ACLs, and input port ACLs exist in an SVI, incoming packets received on the ports to which a port ACL is applied are only filtered by the port ACL. Outgoing routed IP packets are filtered by both the VLAN map and the router ACL. Other packets are filtered only by the VLAN map.

You can apply IP ACLs to both outbound or inbound Layer 3 interfaces.

A Layer 3 interface can have one IP ACL applied in each direction.

You can configure only one VLAN map and one router ACL in each direction (input/output) on a VLAN interface.

For standard inbound access lists, after the switch receives a packet, it checks the source address of the packet against the access list. IP extended access lists can optionally check other fields in the packet, such as the destination IP address, protocol type, or port numbers. If the access list permits the packet, the switch continues to process the packet. If the access list denies the packet, the switch discards the packet. If the access list has been applied to a Layer 3 interface, discarding a packet (by default) causes the generation of an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Host Unreachable message. ICMP Host Unreachable messages are not generated for packets discarded on a Layer 2 interface.

For standard outbound access lists, after receiving a packet and sending it to a controlled interface, the switch checks the packet against the access list. If the access list permits the packet, the switch sends the packet. If the access list denies the packet, the switch discards the packet and, by default, generates an ICMP Host Unreachable message.

If the specified access list does not exist, all packets are passed.

Examples

This example shows how to apply IP access list 101 to inbound packets on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip interface, show access-lists, or show ip access-lists privileged EXEC command.

ip address

Use the ip address interface configuration command to set an IP address for the Layer 2 switch or to set an IP address for each switch virtual interface (SVI) or routed port on the Layer 3 switch. Use the no form of this command to remove an IP address or to disable IP processing.

ip address ip-address subnet-mask [secondary]

no ip address [ip-address subnet-mask] [secondary]


Note You can configure routed ports and SVIs only when the switch is running the metro IP access image.


Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address.

subnet-mask

Mask for the associated IP subnet.

secondary

(Optional) Specifies that the configured address is a secondary IP address. If this keyword is omitted, the configured address is the primary IP address.


Defaults

No IP address is defined.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If you remove the switch IP address through a Telnet session, your connection to the switch will be lost.

Hosts can find subnet masks using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Mask Request message. Routers respond to this request with an ICMP Mask Reply message.

You can disable IP processing on a particular interface by removing its IP address with the no ip address command. If the switch detects another host using one of its IP addresses, it will send an error message to the console.

You can use the optional keyword secondary to specify an unlimited number of secondary addresses. Secondary addresses are treated like primary addresses, except the system never generates datagrams other than routing updates with secondary source addresses. IP broadcasts and ARP requests are handled properly, as are interface routes in the IP routing table.


Note If any router on a network segment uses a secondary address, all other devices on that same segment must also use a secondary address from the same network or subnet. Inconsistent use of secondary addresses on a network segment can very quickly cause routing loops.


When you are routing Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), ensure that all secondary addresses of an interface fall into the same OSPF area as the primary addresses.

If your switch receives its IP address from a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or a DHCP server and you remove the switch IP address by using the no ip address command, IP processing is disabled, and the BOOTP or the DHCP server cannot reassign the address.

A Layer 3 switch can have an IP address assigned to each routed port and SVI. The number of routed ports and SVIs that you can configure is not limited by software; however, the interrelationship between this number and the number of other features being configured might have an impact on CPU utilization due to hardware limitations. You can use the sdm prefer global configuration command to reallocate system hardware resources based on templates and feature tables. For more information, see the sdm prefer command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the IP address for the Layer 2 switch on a subnetted network:

Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.20.128.2 255.255.255.0
 
   

This example shows how to configure the IP address for a Layer 3 port on the switch:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.20.128.2 255.255.255.0

ip arp inspection filter vlan

Use the ip arp inspection filter vlan global configuration command to permit or deny Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests and responses from a host configured with a static IP address when dynamic ARP inspection is enabled. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

ip arp inspection filter arp-acl-name vlan vlan-range [static]

no ip arp inspection filter arp-acl-name vlan vlan-range [static]

Syntax Description

arp-acl-name

ARP access control list (ACL) name.

vlan-range

VLAN number or range.

You can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.

static

(Optional) Specify static to treat implicit denies in the ARP ACL as explicit denies and to drop packets that do not match any previous clauses in the ACL. DHCP bindings are not used.

If you do not specify this keyword, it means that there is no explicit deny in the ACL that denies the packet, and DHCP bindings determine whether a packet is permitted or denied if the packet does not match any clauses in the ACL.


Defaults

No defined ARP ACLs are applied to any VLAN.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When an ARP ACL is applied to a VLAN for dynamic ARP inspection, only the ARP packets with IP-to-MAC address bindings are compared against the ACL. If the ACL permits a packet, the switch forwards it. All other packet types are bridged in the ingress VLAN without validation.

If the switch denies a packet because of an explicit deny statement in the ACL, the packet is dropped. If the switch denies a packet because of an implicit deny statement, the packet is then compared against the list of DHCP bindings (unless the ACL is static, which means that packets are not compared against the bindings).

Use the arp access-list acl-name global configuration command to define the ARP ACL or to add clauses to the end of a predefined list.

Examples

This example shows how to apply the ARP ACL static-hosts to VLAN 1 for dynamic ARP inspection:

Switch(config)# ip arp inspection filter static-hosts vlan 1
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip arp inspection vlan 1 privileged EXEC command.

ip arp inspection limit

Use the ip arp inspection limit interface configuration command to limit the rate of incoming Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests and responses on an interface. It prevents dynamic ARP inspection from using all of the switch resources if a denial-of-service attack occurs. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

ip arp inspection limit {rate pps [burst interval seconds] | none}

no ip arp inspection limit

Syntax Description

rate pps

Specify an upper limit for the number of incoming packets processed per second. The range is 0 to 2048 packets per second (pps).

burst interval seconds

(Optional) Specify the consecutive interval in seconds, over which the interface is monitored for a high rate of ARP packets.The range is 1 to 15 seconds.

none

Specify no upper limit for the rate of incoming ARP packets that can be processed.


Defaults

The rate is 15 pps on untrusted interfaces, assuming that the network is a switched network with a host connecting to as many as 15 new hosts per second.

The rate is unlimited on all trusted interfaces.

The burst interval is 1 second.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The rate applies to both trusted and untrusted interfaces. Configure appropriate rates on trunks to process packets across multiple dynamic ARP inspection-enabled VLANs, or use the none keyword to make the rate unlimited.

After a switch receives more than the configured rate of packets every second consecutively over a number of burst seconds, the interface is placed into an error-disabled state.

Unless you explicitly configure a rate limit on an interface, changing the trust state of the interface also changes its rate limit to the default value for that trust state. After you configure the rate limit, the interface retains the rate limit even when its trust state is changed. If you enter the no ip arp inspection limit interface configuration command, the interface reverts to its default rate limit.

You should configure trunk ports with higher rates to reflect their aggregation. When the rate of incoming packets exceeds the user-configured rate, the switch places the interface into an error-disabled state. The error-disable recovery feature automatically removes the port from the error-disabled state according to the recovery setting.

The rate of incoming ARP packets on EtherChannel ports equals the sum of the incoming rate of ARP packets from all the channel members. Configure the rate limit for EtherChannel ports only after examining the rate of incoming ARP packets on all the channel members.

Examples

This example shows how to limit the rate of incoming ARP requests on a port to 25 pps and to set the interface monitoring interval to 5 consecutive seconds:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection limit rate 25 burst interval 5
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip arp inspection interfaces interface-id privileged EXEC command.

ip arp inspection log-buffer

Use the ip arp inspection log-buffer global configuration command to configure the dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection logging buffer. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

ip arp inspection log-buffer {entries number | logs number interval seconds}

no ip arp inspection log-buffer {entries | logs}

Syntax Description

entries number

Number of entries to be logged in the buffer. The range is 0 to 1024.

logs number interval seconds

Number of entries needed in the specified interval to generate system messages.

For logs number, the range is 0 to 1024. A 0 value means that the entry is placed in the log buffer, but a system message is not generated.

For interval seconds, the range is 0 to 86400 seconds (1 day). A 0 value means that a system message is immediately generated (and the log buffer is always empty).


Defaults

When dynamic ARP inspection is enabled, denied or dropped ARP packets are logged.

The number of log entries is 32.

The number of system messages is limited to 5 per second.

The logging-rate interval is 1 second.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

A value of 0 is not allowed for both the logs and the interval keywords.

The logs and interval settings interact. If the logs number X is greater than interval seconds Y, X divided by Y (X/Y) system messages are sent every second. Otherwise, one system message is sent every Y divided by X (Y/X) seconds. For example, if the logs number is 20 and the interval seconds is 4, the switch generates system messages for five entries every second while there are entries in the log buffer.

A log buffer entry can represent more than one packet. For example, if an interface receives many packets on the same VLAN with the same ARP parameters, the switch combines the packets as one entry in the log buffer and generates a system message as a single entry.

If the log buffer overflows, it means that a log event does not fit into the log buffer, and the output display for the show ip arp inspection log privileged EXEC command is affected. A -- in the output display appears in place of all data except the packet count and the time. No other statistics are provided for the entry. If you see this entry in the display, increase the number of entries in the log buffer, or increase the logging rate.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the logging buffer to hold up to 45 entries:

Switch(config)# ip arp inspection log-buffer entries 45
 
   

This example shows how to configure the logging rate to 20 log entries per 4 seconds. With this configuration, the switch generates system messages for five entries every second while there are entries in the log buffer.

Switch(config)# ip arp inspection log-buffer logs 20 interval 4
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip arp inspection log privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The switch does not check ARP packets that it receives on the trusted interface; it simply forwards the packets.

For untrusted interfaces, the switch intercepts all ARP requests and responses. It verifies that the intercepted packets have valid IP-to-MAC address bindings before updating the local cache and before forwarding the packet to the appropriate destination. The switch drops invalid packets and logs them in the log buffer according to the logging configuration specified with the ip arp inspection vlan logging global configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a port to be trusted:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection trust 
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show ip arp inspection interfaces interface-id privileged EXEC command.

ip arp inspection validate {[src-mac] [dst-mac] [ip [allow zeros]]}

no ip arp inspection validate [src-mac] [dst-mac] [ip [allow zeros]]

Syntax Description

src-mac

Compare the source MAC address in the Ethernet header against the sender MAC address in the ARP body. This check is performed on both ARP requests and responses.

When enabled, packets with different MAC addresses are classified as invalid and are dropped.

dst-mac

Compare the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header against the target MAC address in ARP body. This check is performed for ARP responses.

When enabled, packets with different MAC addresses are classified as invalid and are dropped.

ip

Compare the ARP body for invalid and unexpected IP addresses. Addresses include 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, and all IP multicast addresses.

Sender IP addresses are compared in all ARP requests and responses. Target IP addresses are checked only in ARP responses.

The allow-zeros keyword interacts with ARP access control lists (ACLs) in this way:

If you configure an ARP ACL to deny ARP probes, they are dropped even if the allow-zero keyword is specified.

If you configure an ARP ACL that specifically permits ARP probes and configure the ip arp inspection validate ip command, ARP probes are dropped unless you enter the allow-zeros keyword.

The no form of the command disables only the specified checks. If none of the options are enabled, all checks are disabled.

Examples

This example show how to enable source MAC validation:

Switch(config)# ip arp inspection validate src-mac 
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range privileged EXEC command.

ip arp inspection vlan logging

Use the ip arp inspection vlan logging global configuration command to control the type of packets that are logged per VLAN. Use the no form of this command to disable this logging control.

ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range logging {acl-match {matchlog | none} | dhcp-bindings {all | none | permit} | arp-probe}

no ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range logging {acl-match | dhcp-bindings | arp-probe}

Syntax Description

vlan-range

Specify the VLANs configured for logging.

You can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.

acl-match {matchlog | none}

Specify that the logging of packets is based on access control list (ACL) matches.

The keywords have these meanings:

matchlog—Log packets based on the logging configuration specified in the access control entries (ACE). If you specify the matchlog keyword in this command and the log keyword in the permit or deny ARP access-list configuration command, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets permitted or denied by the ACL are logged.

none—Do not log packets that match ACLs.

dhcp-bindings {permit | all | none}

Specify the logging of packets is based on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) binding matches.

The keywords have these meanings:

all—Log all packets that match DHCP bindings.

none—Do not log packets that match DHCP bindings.

permit—Log DHCP-binding permitted packets.

arp-probe

Specify logging of packets permitted specifically because they are ARP probes.


Defaults

All denied or all dropped packets are logged. ARP probe packets are not logged.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The term logged means that the entry is placed into the log buffer and that a system message is generated.

The acl-match and dhcp-bindings keywords merge with each other; that is, when you configure an ACL match, the DHCP bindings configuration is not disabled. Use the no form of the command to reset the logging criteria to their defaults. If neither option is specified, all types of logging are reset to log when ARP packets are denied. These are the options:

acl-match—Logging on ACL matches is reset to log on deny.

dhcp-bindings—Logging on DHCP binding matches is reset to log on deny.

If neither the acl-match or the dhcp-bindings keywords are specified, all denied packets are logged.

The implicit deny at the end of an ACL does not include the log keyword. This means that when you use the static keyword in the ip arp inspection filter vlan global configuration command, the ACL overrides the DHCP bindings. Some denied packets might not be logged unless you explicitly specify the deny ip any mac any log ACE at the end of the ARP ACL.

Examples

This example shows how to configure ARP inspection on VLAN 1 to log packets that match the permit commands in the ACL:

Switch(config)# arp access-list test1
Switch(config-arp-nacl)# permit request ip any mac any log
Switch(config-arp-nacl)# permit response ip any any mac any any log
Switch(config-arp-nacl)# exit
Switch(config)# ip arp inspection vlan 1 logging acl-match matchlog 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The DHCP snooping binding database can have up to 8192 bindings.

To ensure that the lease time in the database is accurate, we recommend that Network Time Protocol (NTP) is enabled and configured for these features:

NTP authentication

NTP peer and server associations

NTP broadcast service

NTP access restrictions

NTP packet source IP address

If NTP is configured, the switch writes binding changes to the binding file only when the switch system clock is synchronized with NTP.

Because both NVRAM and the flash memory have limited storage capacity, we recommend that you store a binding file on a TFTP server. You must create an empty file at the configured URL on network-based URLs (such as TFTP and FTP) before the switch can write bindings to the binding file at that URL for the first time.

Use the no ip dhcp snooping database command to disable the agent.

Use the no ip dhcp snooping database timeout command to reset the timeout value.

Use the no ip dhcp snooping database write-delay command to reset the write-delay value.

Examples

This example shows how to store a binding file at an IP address of 10.1.1.1 that is in a directory called directory. A file named file must be present on the TFTP server.

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping database tftp://10.1.1.1/directory/file
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip dhcp snooping database privileged EXEC command.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You must globally enable DHCP snooping by using the ip dhcp snooping global configuration command for any DHCP snooping configuration to take effect.

When the option-82 feature is enabled and a switch receives a DHCP request from a host, it adds the option-82 information in the packet. The option-82 information contains the switch MAC address (the remote ID suboption) and the port identifier, vlan-mod-port, from which the packet is received (circuit ID suboption). The switch forwards the DHCP request that includes the option-82 field to the DHCP server.

When the DHCP server receives the packet, it can use the remote ID, the circuit ID, or both to assign IP addresses and implement policies, such as restricting the number of IP addresses that can be assigned to a single remote ID or a circuit ID. Then the DHCP server echoes the option-82 field in the DHCP reply.

The DHCP server unicasts the reply to the switch if the request was relayed to the server by the switch. When the client and server are on the same subnet, the server broadcasts the reply. The switch inspects the remote ID and possibly the circuit ID fields to verify that it originally inserted the option-82 data. The switch removes the option-82 field and forwards the packet to the switch port that connects to the DHCP host that sent the DHCP request.

Examples

This example shows how to enable DHCP option-82 data insertion:

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping information option
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip dhcp snooping privileged EXEC command.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You might want an edge switch to which a host is connected to insert DHCP option-82 information at the edge of your network. You might also want to enable DHCP security features, such as DHCP snooping, IP source guard, or dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection, on an aggregation switch. However, if DHCP snooping is enabled on the aggregation switch, the switch drops packets with option-82 information that are received on an untrusted port and does not learn DHCP snooping bindings for connected devices on a trusted interface.

If the edge switch to which a host is connected inserts option-82 information and you want to use DHCP snooping on an aggregation switch, enter the ip dhcp snooping information option allowed-untrusted command on the aggregation switch. The aggregation switch can learn the bindings for a host even though the aggregation switch receives DHCP snooping packets on an untrusted port. You can also enable DHCP security features on the aggregation switch. The port on the edge switch to which the aggregation switch is connected must be configured as a trusted port.


Note Do not enter the ip dhcp snooping information option allowed-untrusted command on an aggregation switch to which an untrusted device is connected. If you enter this command, an untrusted device might spoof the option-82 information.


Examples

This example shows how to configure an access switch to not check the option-82 information in untrusted packets from an edge switch and to accept the packets:

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping information option allowed-untrusted

Usage Guidelines

Normally, the rate limit applies to untrusted interfaces. If you want to configure rate limiting for trusted interfaces, keep in mind that trusted interfaces might aggregate DHCP traffic on multiple VLANs (some of which might not be snooped) in the switch, and you will need to adjust the interface rate limits to a higher value.

If the rate limit is exceeded, the interface is error-disabled. If you enabled error recovery by entering the errdisable recovery dhcp-rate-limit global configuration command, the interface retries the operation again when all the causes have timed out. If the error-recovery mechanism is not enabled, the interface stays in the error-disabled state until you enter the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.

Examples

This example shows how to set a message rate limit of 150 messages per second on an interface:

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 150

Usage Guidelines

You must globally enable DHCP snooping by using the ip dhcp snooping global configuration command for any DHCP snooping configuration to take effect.

When the option-82 feature is enabled, the default circuit-ID suboption is the switch VLAN and the port identifier, in the format vlan-mod-port. This command allows you to configure a string of ASCII characters to be the circuit ID. When you want to override the vlan-mod-port format type and instead use the circuit-ID to define subscriber information, use the override keyword.


Note When configuring a large number of circuit IDs on a switch, consider the impact of lengthy character strings on the NVRAM or flash memory. If the circuit-ID configurations, combined with other data, exceed the capacity of the NVRAM or the flash memory, an error message appears.


Examples

This example shows how to configure the option-82 circuit-ID suboption:

no ip igmp max-groups {number | action}

Syntax Description

number

The maximum number of IGMP groups that an interface can join. The range is 0 to 4294967294. The default is no limit.

action deny

When the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP snooping forwarding table, drop the next IGMP join report. This is the default action.

action replace

When the maximum number of entries is in the IGMP snooping forwarding table, replace the existing group with the new group for which the ICMP report was received.


Defaults

The default maximum number of groups is no limit.

After the switch learns the maximum number of IGMP group entries on an interface, the default throttling action is to drop the next IGMP report that the interface receives and to not add an entry for the IGMP group to the interface.

Usage Guidelines

You can use this command only on Layer 2 physical interfaces and on logical EtherChannel interfaces.

You cannot set IGMP maximum groups for routed ports, switch virtual interfaces (SVIs), or ports that belong to an EtherChannel group.

Follow these guidelines when configuring the IGMP throttling action:

If you configure the throttling action as deny and set the maximum group limitation, the entries that were previously in the forwarding table are not removed but are aged out. After these entries are aged out, when the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table, the switch drops the next IGMP report received on the interface.

If you configure the throttling action as replace and set the maximum group limitation, the entries that were previously in the forwarding table are removed. When the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table, the switch replaces a randomly-selected multicast entry with the received IGMP report.

When the maximum group limitation is set to the default (no maximum), entering the ip igmp max-groups {deny | replace} command has no effect.

Examples

This example shows how to limit to 25 the number of IGMP groups that a port can join.

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups 25
 
   

This example shows how to configure the switch to replace the existing group with the new group for which the IGMP report was received when the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups action replace
 
   

You can verify your setting by using the show running-config privileged EXEC command and by specifying an interface.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable IGMP snooping to detect the IGMP version and IP address of a device that sends IGMP query messages, which is also called a querier.

By default, the IGMP snooping querier is configured to detect devices that use IGMP Version 2 (IGMPv2) but does not detect clients that are using IGMP Version 1 (IGMPv1). You can manually configure the max-response-time value when devices use IGMPv2. You cannot configure the max-response-time when devices use IGMPv1. (The value cannot be configured and is set to zero).

Non-RFC compliant devices running IGMPv1 might reject IGMP general query messages that have a non-zero value as the max-response-time value. If you want the devices to accept the IGMP general query messages, configure the IGMP snooping querier to run IGMPv1.

VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in IGMP snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally enable the IGMP snooping querier feature:

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping querier

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

IGMP report suppression is supported only when the multicast query has IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports. This feature is not supported when the query includes IGMPv3 reports.

The switch uses IGMP report suppression to forward only one IGMP report per multicast router query to multicast devices. When IGMP router suppression is enabled (the default), the switch sends the first IGMP report from all hosts for a group to all the multicast routers. The switch does not send the remaining IGMP reports for the group to the multicast routers. This feature prevents duplicate reports from being sent to the multicast devices.

If the multicast router query includes requests only for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports, the switch forwards only the first IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report from all hosts for a group to all the multicast routers. If the multicast router query also includes requests for IGMPv3 reports, the switch forwards all IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 reports for a group to the multicast devices.

If you disable IGMP report suppression by entering the no ip igmp snooping report-suppression command, all IGMP reports are forwarded to all the multicast routers.

Examples

This example shows how to disable report suppression:

Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping report-suppression
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip igmp snooping privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

You can prevent the loss of the multicast traffic that might occur because of a topology change by using this command. If you set the TCN flood query count to 1 by using the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count command, the flooding stops after receiving one general query. If you set the count to 7, the flooding of multicast traffic due to the TCN event lasts until seven general queries are received. Groups are relearned based on the general queries received during the TCN event.

Examples

This example shows how to specify 7 as the number of IGMP general queries for which the multicast traffic is flooded:

Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count 7
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip igmp snooping privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

When the switch receives a TCN, multicast traffic is flooded to all the ports until two general queries are received. If the switch has many ports with attached hosts that are subscribed to different multicast groups, this flooding behavior might not be desirable because the flooded traffic might exceed the capacity of the link and cause packet loss.

You can change the flooding query count by using the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count count global configuration command.

A static IP source binding entry has an IP address, its associated MAC address, and its associated VLAN number. The entry is based on the MAC address and the VLAN number. If you modify an entry by changing only the IP address, the switch updates the entry instead creating a new one.

Examples

This example shows how to add a static IP source binding:

Switch(config)# ip source binding 0001.1234.1234 vlan 1 172.20.50.5 interface 
gigabitethernet0/1 
 
   

This example shows how to add a static binding and then modify the IP address for it:

Switch(config)# ip source binding 0001.1357.0007 vlan 1 172.20.50.25 interface 
gigabitethernet0/1 
Switch(config)# ip source binding 0001.1357.0007 vlan 1 172.20.50.30 interface 
gigabitethernet0/1 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ip source binding privileged EXEC command.

no ipv6 access-list access-list-name


Note This command is available only if the switch is running the metro IP access image and you have configured a dual IPv4 and IPv6 Switch Database Management (SDM) template on the switch.


Syntax Description

access-list-name

Name of the IPv6 access list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation mark or begin with a number.


Defaults

No IPv6 access list is defined.

Command Modes

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default | routing | vlan) global configuration command, and reload the switch.

The ipv6 access-list command is similar to the ip access-list command, but it is IPv6-specific.

IPv6 ACLs are defined by a unique name (IPv6 does not support numbered ACLs). An IPv4 ACL and an IPv6 ACL cannot share the same name.

See the deny (IPv6 access-list configuration) and permit (IPv6 access-list configuration) commands for more information on filtering IPv6 traffic based on IPv6 option headers and optional, upper-layer protocol-type information. See the "Examples" section for an example of a translated IPv6 ACL configuration.

Every IPv6 ACL has implicit permit icmp any any nd-na, permit icmp any any nd-ns, and deny ipv6 any any statements as its last match conditions. The two permit conditions allow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery. To disallow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery and to deny icmp any any nd-na or icmp any any nd-ns, there must be an explicit deny entry in the ACL. For the implicit deny ipv6 any any statement to take effect, an IPv6 ACL must contain at least one entry.

The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses the IPv6 network layer service; therefore, by default, IPv6 ACLs implicitly allow IPv6 neighbor discovery packets to be sent and received on an interface. In IPv4, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is equivalent to the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data-link layer protocol; therefore, by default, IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.

Use the ipv6 traffic-filter interface configuration command with the access-list-name argument to apply an IPv6 ACL to an IPv6 interface. You can apply inbound and outbound IPv6 ACLs to Layer 3 physical interfaces or to switch virtual interfaces for routed ACLs, but only inbound IPv6 ACLs to Layer 2 interfaces for port ACLs.


Note An IPv6 ACL applied to an interface with the ipv6 traffic-filter command filters traffic that is forwarded by the switch and does not filter traffic generated by the switch.


Examples

This example puts the switch in IPv6 access list configuration mode, configures the IPv6 ACL named list2, and applies the ACL to outbound traffic on an interface. The first ACL entry prevents all packets from the network FE80:0:0:2::/64 (packets that have the link-local prefix FE80:0:0:2 as the first 64 bits of their source IPv6 address) from leaving the interface. The second entry in the ACL permits all other traffic to leave the interface. The second entry is necessary because an implicit deny-all condition is at the end of each IPv6 ACL.

Switch(config)# ipv6 access-list list2
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# deny FE80:0:0:2::/64 any
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# permit any any
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/3
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001::/64 eui-64
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 traffic-filter list2 out

Note IPv6 ACLs that rely on the implicit deny condition or specify a deny any any statement to filter traffic should contain permit statements for link-local addresses to avoid the filtering of protocol packets. Additionally IPv6 ACLs that use deny statements to filter traffic should also use a permit any any statement as the last statement in the list.

Usage Guidelines

To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default | vlan} global configuration command, and reload the switch.

DHCPv6 pool configuration mode commands:

address prefix IPv6-prefix: sets an address prefix for address assignment. This address must be in hexadecimal, using 16-bit values between colons.

lifetime t1 t2: sets a valid and a preferred time interval (in seconds) for the IPv6 address. The range is 5 to 4294967295 seconds. The valid default is 2 days. The preferred default is 1 day. The valid lifetime must be greater than or equal to the preferred lifetime. Specify infinite for no time interval.

link-address IPv6-prefix: sets a link-address IPv6 prefix. When an address on the incoming interface or a link-address in the packet matches the specified IPv6-prefix, the server uses the configuration information pool. This address must be in hexadecimal, using 16-bit values between colons.

vendor-specific: enables the DHCPv6 vendor-specific configuration mode with these configuration commands:

vendor-id: enter a vendor-specific identification number. This number is the vendor IANA Private Enterprise Number. The range is 1 to 4294967295.

suboption number: sets vendor-specific suboption number. The range is 1 to 65535. Enter an IPv6 address, ASCII text, or a hexadecimal string as defined by the suboption parameters.

After you create the DHCPv6 configuration information pool, use the ipv6 dhcp server interface configuration command to associate the pool with a server on an interface. However, if you do not configure an information pool, you still need to use the ipv6 dhcp server interface configuration command to enable the DHCPv6 server function on an interface.

When you associate a DHCPv6 pool with an interface, only that pool services requests on the associated interface. The pool also services other interfaces. If you do not associate a DHCPv6 pool with an interface, it can service requests on any interface.

Not using any IPv6 address prefix means that the pool only returns configured options.

The link-address keyword allows matching of a link-address without necessarily allocating an address. You can match the pool from multiple relays by using multiple link-address configuration commands inside a pool.

Because a longest match is performed on either the address pool information or the link information, you can configure one pool to allocate addresses and another pool on a subprefix that only returns configured options.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a pool called engineering with an IPv6 address prefix:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool engineering
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# address prefix 2001:1000::0/64
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# end
 
   

This example shows how to configure a pool called testgroup with three link-address prefixes and an IPv6 address prefix:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool testgroup
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# link-address 2001:1001::0/64
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# link-address 2001:1002::0/64
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# link-address 2001:2000::0/48
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# address prefix 2001:1003::0/64
Switch(config-dhcpv6)# end
 
   

This example shows how to configure a pool called 350 with vendor-specific options:

Switch(config-dhcpv6)# vendor-specific 9
Switch(config-dhcpv6-vs)# suboption 1 address 1000:235D::1

Modification

The automatic keyword was added to the command.


Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 dhcp server interface configuration command enables DHCPv6 service on a specified interface.

If you enter the automatic keyword, the system automatically determine which pool to use when allocating addresses for a client. When the server receives an IPv6 DHCP packet, the server determines if it was received from a DHCP relay or if it was directly received from the client. If the packet was received from a relay, the server verifies the link-address field inside the packet associated with the first relay that is closest to the client. The server matches this link-address against all address prefix and link-address configurations in IPv6 DHCP pools to find the longest prefix match. The server selects the pool associated with the longest match.

If the packet was received directly from the client, the server performs this same matching, but it uses all the IPv6 addresses configured on the incoming interface when performing the match. Once again, the server selects the longest prefix match.

If you enter the allow-hint keyword, the server allocates a valid client-suggested address in the solicit and request messages. The prefix address is valid if it is in the associated local prefix address pool and it is not assigned to a device. If the allow-hint keyword is not specified, the server ignores the client hint, and an address is allocated from the free list in the pool.

If you configure the preference keyword with a value other than 0, the server adds a preference option to carry the preference value for the advertise messages. This action affects the selection of a server by the client. Any advertise message that does not include a preference option is considered to have a preference value of 0. If the client receives an advertise message with a preference value of 255, the client immediately sends a request message to the server from which the message was received.

Entering the rapid-commit keyword enables the use of the two-message exchange.

The DHCPv6 client, server, and relay functions are mutually exclusive on an interface. When one of these functions is already enabled and you try to configure a different function on the same interface, the switch returns one of these messages:

Interface is in DHCP client mode
Interface is in DHCP server mode
Interface is in DHCP relay mode

Examples

This example enables DHCPv6 for the pool named testgroup:

Switch(config-if)# ipv6 dhcp server testgroup

Usage Guidelines

To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 global configuration command and reload the switch.

When MLD snooping is globally disabled, it is disabled on all the existing VLAN interfaces. When you globally enable MLD snooping, it is enabled on all VLAN interfaces that are in the default state (enabled). VLAN configuration will override global configuration on interfaces on which MLD snooping has been disabled.

If MLD snooping is globally disabled, you cannot enable it on a VLAN. If MLD snooping is globally enabled, you can disable it on individual VLANs.

When the IPv6 multicast router is a Catalyst 6500 switch and you are using extended VLANs (in the range 1006 to 4094), IPv6 MLD snooping must be enabled on the extended VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch in order for the switch to receive queries on the VLAN. For normal-range VLANs (1 to 1005), it is not necessary to enable IPv6 MLD snooping on the VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally enable MLD snooping:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping
 
   

This example shows how to disable MLD snooping on a VLAN:

Switch(config)# no ipv6 mld snooping vlan 11 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show ipv6 mld snooping user EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 global configuration command and reload the switch.

In MLD snooping, the IPv6 multicast router periodically sends out queries to hosts belonging to the multicast group. If a host wants to leave a multicast group, it can silently leave or it can respond to the query with a Multicast Listener Done message (equivalent to an IGMP Leave message). When Immediate Leave is not configured (which it should not be if multiple clients for a group exist on the same port), the configured last-listener query count determines the number of MASQs that are sent before an MLD client is aged out.

When the last-listener query count is set for a VLAN, this count overrides the value configured globally.When the VLAN count is not configured (set to the default of 0), the global count is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally set the last-listener query count:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping last-listener-query-count 1

Usage Guidelines

To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 global configuration command and reload the switch.

In MLD snooping, when the IPv6 multicast router receives an MLD leave message, it sends out queries to hosts belonging to the multicast group. If there are no responses from a port to a MASQ for a length of time, the router deletes the port from the membership database of the multicast address. The last listener query interval is the maximum time that the router waits before deleting a nonresponsive port from the multicast group.

When a VLAN query interval is set, this overrides the global query interval. When the VLAN interval is set at 0, the global value is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to globally set the last-listener query interval to 2 seconds:

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping last-listener-query-interval 2000

Robustness is measured in terms of the number of MLDv1 queries sent with no response before a port is removed from a multicast group. A port is deleted when there are no MLDv1 reports received for the configured number of MLDv1 queries. The global value determines the number of queries that the switch waits before deleting a listener that does not respond and applies to all VLANs that do not have a VLAN value set.

The robustness value configured for a VLAN overrides the global value. If the VLAN robustness value is 0 (the default), the global value is used.

VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used in MLD snooping.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the global robustness variable so that the switch sends out three queries before it deletes a listener port that does not respond:

12.2(58)SE

Support was added for LLDP tunneling.


Usage Guidelines

You must enter this command, with or without protocol types, to tunnel Layer 2 packets.

If you enter this command for a port channel, all ports in the channel must have the same configuration.

Layer 2 protocol tunneling across a service-provider network ensures that Layer 2 information is propagated across the network to all customer locations. When protocol tunneling is enabled, protocol packets are encapsulated with a well-known Cisco multicast address for transmission across the network. When the packets reach their destination, the well-known MAC address is replaced by the Layer 2 protocol MAC address.

You can enable Layer 2 protocol tunneling individually for CDP, LLDP, STP, VTP, or for all these protocols.


Note The switch does not support VTP. CDP and STP are enabled by default network node interfaces (NNIs) and disabled by default but can be enabled on enhanced network interfaces (ENIs). User network interfaces (UNIs) do not support any of these protocols.


In a service-provider network, you can use Layer 2 protocol tunneling to enhance the creation of EtherChannels by emulating a point-to-point network topology. When protocol tunneling is enabled on the service-provider switch for PAgP or LACP, remote customer switches receive the protocol data units (PDUs) and can negotiate automatic creation of EtherChannels.


Note Only NNIs and ENIs support PAgP and LACP.


To enable tunneling of PAgP, LACP, and UDLD packets, you must have a point-to-point network topology. To decrease the link-down detection time, you should also enable UDLD on the interface when you enable tunneling of PAgP or LACP packets.

You can enable point-to-point protocol tunneling for PAgP, LACP, and UDLD individually or for all three protocols.


Caution PAgP, LACP, and UDLD tunneling is only intended to emulate a point-to-point topology. An erroneous configuration that sends tunneled packets to many ports could lead to a network failure.

Enter the shutdown-threshold keyword to control the number of protocol packets per second that are received on an interface before it shuts down. When no protocol option is specified with the keyword, the threshold is applied to each of the tunneled Layer 2 protocol types. If you also set a drop threshold on the interface, the shutdown-threshold value must be greater than or equal to the drop-threshold value.

When the shutdown threshold is reached, the interface is error-disabled. If you enable error recovery by entering the errdisable recovery cause l2ptguard global configuration command, the interface is brought out of the error-disabled state and allowed to retry the operation again when all the causes have timed out. If the error recovery mechanism is not enabled for l2ptguard, the interface stays in the error-disabled state until you enter the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands.

Enter the drop-threshold keyword to control the number of protocol packets per second that are received on an interface before it drops packets. When no protocol option is specified with a keyword, the threshold is applied to each of the tunneled Layer 2 protocol types. If you also set a shutdown threshold on the interface, the drop-threshold value must be less than or equal to the shutdown-threshold value.

When the drop threshold is reached, the interface drops Layer 2 protocol packets until the rate at which they are received is below the drop threshold.

The configuration is saved in NVRAM.


Note For more information about Layer 2 protocol tunneling, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to enable protocol tunneling for CDP packets and to configure the shutdown threshold as 50 packets per second:

Switch(config-if)# l2protocol-tunnel cdp

The lacp port-priority interface configuration command determines which ports are bundled and which ports are put in hot-standby mode when there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel group. This command takes effect only on EtherChannel ports that are already configured for LACP. If the interface is a user network interface (UNI), you must use the port-type nni or port-type eni interface configuration command to change the interface to an NNI or ENI before configuring lacp port-priority.

In priority comparisons, numerically lower values have higher priority. The switch uses the priority to decide which ports should be put in standby mode when there is a hardware limitation that prevents all compatible ports from being active. If two or more ports have the same LACP port priority (for example, they are configured with the default setting of 65535), an internal value for the port number determines the priority.


Note The LACP port priorities are only effective if the ports are on the switch that controls the LACP link. See the lacp system-priority global configuration command for information about determining which switch controls the link.


Use the show lacp internal privileged EXEC command to display LACP port priorities and internal port number values.

For information about configuring LACP on physical ports, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the LACP port priority on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# lacp port-priority 1000
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show lacp [channel-group-number] internal privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The lacp system-priority command determines which switch in an LACP link controls port priorities. Although this is a global configuration command, the priority only takes effect on EtherChannels that have physical ports that are already configured for LACP.

An LACP channel group can have up to 16 Ethernet ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active, and up to eight ports can be in standby mode. When there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel group, the switch on the controlling end of the link uses port priorities to determine which ports are bundled into the channel and which ports are put in hot-standby mode. Port priorities on the other switch (the noncontrolling end of the link) are ignored.

In priority comparisons, numerically lower values have higher priority. Therefore, the switch with the numerically lower system value (higher priority value) for LACP system priority becomes the controlling switch. If both switches have the same LACP system priority (for example, they are both configured with the default setting of 32768), the LACP system ID (the switch MAC address) determines which switch is in control.

The lacp system-priority command applies to all LACP EtherChannels on the switch.

Use the show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command to see which ports are in the hot-standby mode (denoted with an H port-state flag).

For more information about configuring LACP on physical ports, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to set the LACP system priority:

Switch(config)# lacp system-priority 20000
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show lacp sys-id privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Use the link state group interface configuration command to configure a port as an upstream or downstream port for a specific link-state group. If the group number is omitted, the default group is assumed.

An interface can be an aggregation of ports (an EtherChannel), a single switch port in access or trunk mode, or a routed port. Each downstream interface can be associated with one or more upstream interfaces. Upstream interfaces can be bundled together, and each downstream interface can be associated with a single group consisting of multiple upstream interfaces, referred to as link-state groups.

The link state of the downstream interfaces are dependent on the link state of the upstream interfaces in the associated link-state group. If all of the upstream interfaces in a link-state group are in a link-down state, the associated downstream interfaces are forced into a link-down state. If any one of the upstream interfaces in the link-state group is in a link-up state, the associated downstream interfaces are allowed to change to, or remain in, a link-up state.

Follow these guidelines to avoid configuration problems:

An interface that is defined as an upstream interface cannot also be defined as a downstream interface in the same or a different link-state group. The reverse is also true.

An interface cannot be a member of more than one link-state group.

You can configure only two link-state groups per switch.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the interfaces as upstream in group 2:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/11 - 14 
Switch(config-if-range)# link state group 2 downstream
Switch(config-if-range)# end
Switch(config-if)# end

Usage Guidelines

The log file is stored in ASCII text format in an internal buffer on the switch. You can access logged system messages by using the switch command-line interface (CLI) or by saving them to a properly configured syslog server. If the switch fails, the log is lost unless you had previously saved it to flash memory by using the logging file flash:filename global configuration command.

After saving the log to flash memory by using the logging file flash:filename global configuration command, you can use the more flash:filename privileged EXEC command to display its contents.

The command rejects the minimum file size if it is greater than the maximum file size minus 1024; the minimum file size then becomes the maximum file size minus 1024.

Specifying a level causes messages at that level and numerically lower levels to be displayed.

Examples

This example shows how to save informational log messages to a file in flash memory:

Switch(config)# logging file flash:logfile informational
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.

mac access-group

Use the mac access-group interface configuration command to apply a MAC access control list (ACL) to a Layer 2 interface. Use the no form of this command to remove all MAC ACLs or the specified MAC ACL from the interface. You create the MAC ACL by using the mac access-list extended global configuration command.

mac access-group {name} in

no mac access-group {name}

Syntax Description

Defaults

No MAC ACL is applied to the interface.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can apply MAC ACLs only to ingress Layer 2 interfaces. You cannot apply MAC ACLs to Layer 3 interfaces.

On Layer 2 interfaces, you can filter IP traffic by using IP access lists and non-IP traffic by using MAC access lists. You can filter both IP and non-IP traffic on the same Layer 2 interface by applying both an IP ACL and a MAC ACL to the interface. You can apply no more than one IP access list and one MAC access list to the same Layer 2 interface.

If a MAC ACL is already configured on a Layer 2 interface and you apply a new MAC ACL to the interface, the new ACL replaces the previously configured one.

If you apply an ACL to a Layer 2 interface on a switch, and the switch has an input Layer 3 ACL or a VLAN map applied to a VLAN that the interface is a member of, the ACL applied to the Layer 2 interface takes precedence.

When an inbound packet is received on an interface with a MAC ACL applied, the switch checks the match conditions in the ACL. If the conditions are matched, the switch forwards or drops the packet, according to the ACL.

If the specified ACL does not exist, the switch forwards all packets.


Note For more information about configuring MAC extended ACLs, see the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to apply a MAC extended ACL named macacl2 to an interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1

Syntax Description

vlan-id

Specify a single VLAN ID or a range of VLAN IDs separated by a hyphen or comma. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4094. It cannot be an internal VLAN.


Defaults

By default, MAC address learning is enabled on all VLANs.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Customers in a service provider network can tunnel a large number of MAC addresses through the network and fill the available MAC address table space. When you control MAC address learning on a VLAN, you can manage the available MAC address table space by controlling which VLANs, and therefore which ports, can learn MAC addresses.

You can disable MAC address learning on a single VLAN (for example, no mac address-table learning vlan 223) or on a range of VLANs (for example, mac address-table learning vlan 1-10, 15).

Before you disable MAC address learning, be sure that you are familiar with the network topology and the switch system configuration. Disabling MAC address learning on a VLAN could cause flooding in the network. For example, if you disable MAC address learning on a VLAN with a configured switch virtual interface (SVI), the switch floods all IP packets in the Layer 2 domain. If you disable MAC address learning on a VLAN that includes more than two ports, every packet entering the switch is flooded in that VLAN domain. We recommend that you disable MAC address learning only in VLANs that contain two ports and that you use caution before disabling MAC address learning on a VLAN with an SVI.

You cannot disable MAC address learning on a VLAN that the switch uses internally. If the VLAN ID that you enter in the no mac address-table learning vlan vlan-id command is an internal VLAN, the switch generates an error message and rejects the command. To view used internal VLANs, enter the show vlan internal usage privileged EXEC command.

If you disable MAC address learning on a VLAN configured as a private VLAN primary or a secondary VLAN, the MAC addresses are still learned on the other VLAN (primary or secondary) that belongs to the private VLAN.

You cannot disable MAC address learning on an RSPAN VLAN. The configuration is not allowed.

If you disable MAC address learning on a VLAN that includes a secure port, MAC address learning is not disabled on the secure port. If you later disable port security on the interface, the disabled MAC address learning state is enabled.

To display MAC address learning status of all VLANs or a specified VLAN, enter the show mac-address-table learning [vlan vlan-id command].

Examples

This example shows how to disable MAC address learning on VLAN 2003:

Switch(config)# no mac address-table learning vlan 2003
 
   

To display MAC address learning status of all VLANs or a specified VLAN, enter the show mac address-table learning [vlan vlan-id] command.

Usage Guidelines

The MAC address notification change feature sends Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps to the network management system (NMS) whenever a new MAC address is added or an old address is deleted from the forwarding tables. MAC change notifications are generated only for dynamic and secure MAC addresses and are not generated for self addresses, multicast addresses, or other static addresses.

When you configure the history-size option, the existing MAC address history table is deleted, and a new table is created.

You enable the MAC address notification change feature by using the mac address-table notification change command. You must also enable MAC address notification traps on an interface by using the snmp trap mac-notification change interface configuration command and configure the switch to send MAC address traps to the NMS by using the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change global configuration command.

You can also enable traps whenever a MAC address is moved from one port to another in the same VLAN by entering the mac address-table notification mac-move command and the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification move global configuration command.

To generate traps whenever the MAC address table threshold limit is reached or exceeded, enter the mac address-table notification threshold [limit percentage] | [interval time] command and the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification threshold global configuration command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the MAC address-table change notification feature, set the interval time to 60 seconds, and set the history-size to 100 entries:

Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change 
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change interval 60 
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change history-size 100
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show mac address-table notification privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when using this feature:

Multicast MAC addresses, broadcast MAC addresses, and router MAC addresses are not supported. Packets that are forwarded to the CPU are also not supported.

If you add a unicast MAC address as a static address and configure unicast MAC address filtering, the switch either adds the MAC address as a static address or drops packets with that MAC address, depending on which command was entered last. The second command that you entered overrides the first command.

For example, if you enter the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface interface-id global configuration command followed by the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id drop command, the switch drops packets with the specified MAC address as a source or destination.

If you enter the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id drop global configuration command followed by the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface interface-id command, the switch adds the MAC address as a static address.

Examples

This example shows how to enable unicast MAC address filtering and to configure the switch to drop packets that have a source or destination address of c2f3.220a.12f4. When a packet is received in VLAN 4 with this MAC address as its source or destination, the packet is dropped:

Switch(config)# mac address-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 drop
 
   

This example shows how to disable unicast MAC address filtering:

Switch(config)# no mac address-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show mac address-table static privileged EXEC command.

Syntax Description

apply

Apply a macro to the specified interface.

trace

Use the trace keyword to apply a macro to an interface and to debug the macro.

macro-name

Specify the name of the macro.

parameter value

(Optional) Specify unique parameter values that are specific to the interface. You can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value.


Defaults

This command has no default setting.

Command Modes

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You can use the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and show the macros running on an interface or to debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.

If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you apply a macro, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands to the interface.

When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords to designate values specific to the interface.

Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a match and is replaced by the corresponding value.

Some macros might contain keywords that require a parameter value. You can use the macro apply macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values in the macro. If you apply a macro without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.

When you apply a macro to an interface, the macro name is automatically added to the interface. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the show running-configuration interface interface-id user EXEC command.

A macro applied to an interface range behaves the same way as a macro applied to a single interface. When you use an interface range, the macro is applied sequentially to each interface within the range. If a macro command fails on one interface, it is still applied to the remaining interfaces.

You can delete a macro-applied configuration on an interface by entering the default interface interface-id interface configuration command.

Examples

After you have created a macro by using the macro name global configuration command, you can apply it to an interface. This example shows how to apply a user-created macro called duplex to an interface:

Switch(config-if)# macro apply duplex
 
   

To debug a macro, use the macro trace interface configuration command to find any syntax or configuration errors in the macro as it is applied to an interface. This example shows how troubleshoot the user-created macro called duplex on an interface:

Switch(config-if)# macro trace duplex
Applying command...`duplex auto'
%Error Unknown error.
Applying command...`speed nonegotiate'

If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you apply a macro, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands to the switch.

When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords to designate values specific to the switch.

Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a match and is replaced by the corresponding value.

When you apply a macro to a switch, the macro name is automatically added to the switch. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the show running-configuration user EXEC command.

You can delete a global macro-applied configuration on a switch only by entering the no version of each command contained in the macro.

Examples

After you have created a new macro by using the macro name global configuration command, you can apply it to a switch. This example shows how see the snmp macro and how to apply the macro and set the hostname to test-server and set the IP precedence value to 7:

Switch# show parser macro name snmp
Macro name : snmp
Macro type : customizable
 
   
#enable port security, linkup, and linkdown traps
snmp-server enable traps port-security
snmp-server enable traps linkup
snmp-server enable traps linkdown
#set snmp-server host
snmp-server host ADDRESS
#set SNMP trap notifications precedence
snmp-server ip precedence VALUE
 
   
--------------------------------------------------
Switch(config)# macro global apply snmp ADDRESS test-server VALUE 7
 
   

To debug a macro, use the macro global trace global configuration command to find any syntax or configuration errors in the macro when it is applied to a switch. In this example, the ADDRESS parameter value was not entered, causing the snmp-server host command to fail while the remainder of the macro is applied to the switch:

Switch(config)# macro global trace snmp VALUE 7
Applying command...`snmp-server enable traps port-security'
Applying command...`snmp-server enable traps linkup'

Usage Guidelines

A macro can contain up to 3000 characters. Enter one macro command per line. Use the @ character to end the macro. Use the # character at the beginning of a line to enter comment text within the macro.

You can define mandatory keywords within a macro by using a help string to specify the keywords. Enter # macro keywords word to define the keywords that are available for use with the macro. You can enter up to three help string keywords separated by a space. If you enter more than three macro keywords, only the first three are shown.

Macro names are case sensitive. For example, the commands macro name Sample-Macro and macro name sample-macro will result in two separate macros.

When creating a macro, do not use the exit or end commands or change the command mode by using interface interface-id. This could cause commands that follow exit, end, or interface interface-id to execute in a different command mode.

The no form of this command only deletes the macro definition. It does not affect the configuration of those interfaces on which the macro is already applied. You can delete a macro-applied configuration on an interface by entering the default interface interface-id interface configuration command. Alternatively, you can create an anti-macro for an existing macro that contains the no form of all the corresponding commands in the original macro. Then apply the anti-macro to the interface.

You can modify a macro by creating a new macro with the same name as the existing macro. The newly created macro overwrites the existing macro but does not affect the configuration of those interfaces on which the original macro was applied.

Examples

This example shows how to create a macro that defines the duplex mode and speed:

Switch(config)# macro name duplex
Enter macro commands one per line. End with the character `@'.
duplex full
speed auto
@
 
   

This example shows how create a macro with # macro keywords:

Switch(config)# macro name test
switchport access vlan $VLANID
switchport port-security maximum $MAX
#macro keywords $VLANID $MAX
@
 
   

This example shows how to display the mandatory keyword values before you apply the macro to an interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# macro apply test ?
  WORD  keyword to replace with a value e.g  $VLANID,$MAX
  <cr>
 
   
Switch(config-if)# macro apply test $VLANID ?

Usage Guidelines

You enter access-map configuration mode by using the vlan access-map global configuration command.

You must enter one access list name or number; others are optional. You can match packets against one or more access lists. Matching any of the lists counts as a match of the entry.

In access-map configuration mode, use the match command to define the match conditions for a VLAN map applied to a VLAN. Use the action command to set the action that occurs when the packet matches the conditions.

Packets are matched only against access lists of the same protocol type; IP packets are matched against IP access lists, and all other packets are matched against MAC access lists.

Both IP and MAC addresses can be specified for the same map entry.

Examples

This example shows how to define and apply a VLAN access map vmap4 to VLANs 5 and 6 that will cause the interface to drop an IP packet if the packet matches the conditions defined in access list al2.

Switch(config)# vlan access-map vmap4
Switch(config-access-map)# match ip address al2
Switch(config-access-map)# action drop
Switch(config-access-map)# exit
Switch(config)# vlan filter vmap4 vlan-list 5-6

The match cos command specifies a CoS value to use as the match criteria to determine if packets belong to the class specified by the class map.

Before using the match cos command, you must enter the class-map global configuration command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish.

Enter cos cos-list to match a packet based on the service-provider CoS value (S-CoS). For QinQ, where an incoming packet is tunneled into an S-tag, this is the CoS value in the imposed S-tag. For all other cases, this is the CoS value in the incoming packet.

Enter cos inner cos-list to match a packet based on the C-CoS, the inner (customer) CoS value of an 802.1Q tunnel. For QinQ, where an incoming packet is tunneled into an S-tag, this is the CoS value in the incoming customer packet. For all other cases, this command has no effect.

You can specify up to four Layer 2 CoS values to match against the packet. Separate each value with a space. The range is 0 to 7.

Matching of CoS values is supported only on ports carrying Layer 2 VLAN-tagged traffic. That is, you can use the cos classification only on IEEE 802.1Q trunk ports.

You can use match cos classification in input and output policy maps.

Examples

This example shows how to create a class map called inclass, which matches all the incoming traffic with service provider CoS values of 1 and 4:

Switch(config)# class-map match-any in-class
Switch(config-cmap)# match cos 1 4
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The match ip dscp command specifies a DSCP value to use as the match criteria to determine if packets belong to the class specified by the class map.

This command is used by the class map to identify a specific DSCP value marking on a packet. In this context, DSCP values are used as markings only and have no mathematical significance. For example, the DSCP value of 2 is not greater than 1, but merely indicates that a packet marked with a value of 2 is different than one marked with a value of 1. You define the treatment of these marked packets by setting QoS policies in policy-map class configuration mode.

Before using the match ip dscp command, you must enter the class-map global configuration command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish.

You can enter up to eight DSCP values in one match statement. For example, if you wanted the DCSP values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, enter the match ip dscp 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 command. The packet must match only one (not all) of the specified IPv4 DSCP values to belong to the class.

You can use match ip dscp classification in input and output policy maps.

Examples

This example shows how to create a class map called inclass, which matches all the incoming traffic with DSCP values of 10, 11, and 12:

Switch(config)# class-map match-any in-class
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip dscp 10 11 12
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

For example, the precedence value of 2 is not greater than 1, but merely indicates that a packet marked with a value of 2 is different than one marked with a value of 1. You define the treatment of these marked packets by setting QoS policies in policy-map class configuration mode.

Before using the match ip precedence command, you must enter the class-map global configuration command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish.

You can enter up to four IPv4 precedence values in one match statement. For example, if you wanted the IP precedence values of 0, 1, 2, or 7, enter the match ip precedence 0 1 2 7 command. The packet must match only one (not all) of the specified IP precedence values to belong to the class.

You can use match ip precedence classification in input and output policy maps.

Examples

This example shows how to create a class map called class, which matches all the incoming traffic with IP-precedence values of 5, 6, and 7:

Switch(config)# class-map match-any in-class
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip precedence 5 6 7 
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The match qos-group command specifies a QoS group value to use as the match criterion to determine if packets belong to the class specified by the class map.

The QoS-group values are used as marking only and have no mathematical significance. For example, the precedence value of 2 is not greater than 1, but merely indicates that a packet marked with a value of 2 is different than one marked with a value of 1. You define the treatment of these marked packets by setting QoS policies in policy-map class configuration mode.

The QoS-group value is local to the switch, meaning that the QoS-group value marked on a packet does not leave the switch when the packet leaves the switch. If you require a marking that remains with the packet, use IP Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) values, IP precedence values, or another method of packet marking.

Before using the match qos-group command, you must enter the class-map global configuration command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish.

You can use the match qos-group classification only on output policy maps.

There can be no more than 100 QoS groups on the switch (0 to 99).

Examples

This example shows how to classify traffic by using QoS group 13 as the match criterion:

Switch(config)# class-map match-any inclass
Switch(config-cmap)# match qos-group 13
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show class-map privileged EXEC command.

This inner keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

The feature is supported only using a 2-level hierarchical input policy map, where the parent-level defines the VLAN-based classification, and the child-level defines the QoS policy to be applied to the corresponding VLAN(s).

You can configure multiple service classes at the parent-level to match different combinations of VLANs, and you can apply independent QoS policies to each parent-service class using any child-policy map

A policy is considered a parent policy map when it has one or more of its classes associated with a child policy-map. Each class within a parent policy map is called a parent class. You can configure only the match vlan command in parent classes. You cannot configure the match vlan command in classes within the child policy map.

Enter vlan vlan-id to match a packet based on the service-provider VLAN ID (S-VLAN). For QinQ, where an incoming customer packet is tunneled into an S-tag, this is the VLAN value in the imposed S-tag. For all other cases, this is the VLAN value in the incoming packet.

Enter vlan inner vlan-id to match a packet based on the C-VLAN, the inner customer VLAN ID of an 802.1Q tunnel. For QinQ, where an incoming customer packet is tunneled into an S-tag, this is the VLAN value in the incoming customer packet. For all other cases, this command has no effect.

A per-port, per-VLAN parent-level class map supports only a child-policy association; it does not allow any actions to be configured. In addition, for a parent-level class map, you cannot configure an action or a child-policy association for the class class-default.

You cannot configure a mixture of Layer 2 and Layer 3 class maps in a child policy map. When you attempt to associate such a child policy map with a parent policy, the configuration is rejected. However, you can associate Layer 2 child policies and Layer 3 child policies with different parent-level class maps.

Per-port, per-VLAN QoS is supported only on IEEE 802.1Q trunk ports.

Once a per-port, per-vlan hierarchical policy-map is attached to an interface, a parent-class with vlan-based classification can not be dynamically added or removed. The service policy needs to be detached from the interface before making this configuration change.

When the child policy map attached to a VLAN or set of VLANs contains only Layer 3 classification (match ip dscp, match ip precedence, match IP ACL), you must be careful to ensure that these VLANs are not carried on any port other than the one on which this per-port, per-VLAN policy is attached. Not following this restriction could result in improper QoS behavior for traffic ingressing the switch on these VLANs.

We also recommend that you restrict VLAN membership on the trunk ports to which the per-port, per-VLAN is applied by using the switchport trunk allowed vlan interface configuration command. Overlapping VLAN membership between trunk ports that have per-port, per-VLAN policies with Layer 3 classification could also result in unexpected QoS behavior.

Before using the match vlan command, you must enter the class-map global configuration command to specify the name of the class whose match criteria you want to establish.

Examples

In this example, the class maps in the child-level policy map specify matching criteria for voice and video traffic, and the child policy map sets the action for input policing each type of traffic. The parent-level policy map specifies the VLANs to which the child policy maps are applied on the specified port.

Switch(config)# class-map match-any dscp-23 video
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip dscp 23
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
Switch(config)# class-map match-any dscp-63 voice
Switch(config-cmap)# match ip dscp-63
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
Switch(config)# class-map match-any customer-1-vlan
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan 100
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan 200
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan 300
Switch(config-cmap)# exit

Note You can also enter the match criteria as match vlan 100 200 300 with the same result.


Switch(config)# policy-map child policy-1
Switch(config-pmap)# class dscp-63 voice
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police cir 10000000 bc 50000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# conform-action set-cos-transmit 5
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exceed-action drop
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class dscp-23 video
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set cos 4
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set ip precedence 4
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   
Switch(config)# policy-map parent-customer-1
Switch(config-pmap)# class customer-1-vlan
Switch(config-pmap-c)# service-policy ingress-policy-1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

In this example, all packets with an S-VLAN of 100 and a C-VLAN of 200 (packets with C-VLAN 200 tunneled into S-VLAN 100) are classified by the class L2-vpn and packets with an S-VLAN of 110 and a C-VLAN in the range of 210 to 220 (packets with C-VLANs 210 to 220 tunneled into S-VLAN 110) are classified by the class voice-gateway.

Switch(config)# class-map match-all L2-vpn
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan 100
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan inner 200
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
 
   
Switch(config)# class-map match-all voice-gateway
Switch(config-cmap)# match vlan 110

mdix auto

Use the mdix auto interface configuration command to enable the automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature on the interface. When auto-MDIX is enabled, the interface automatically detects the required cable connection type (straight-through or crossover) and configures the connection appropriately. Use the no form of this command to disable auto-MDIX.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you enable auto-MDIX on an interface, you must also set the speed and duplex on the interface to auto so that the feature operates correctly. If the port is a user network interface (UNI) or enhanced network interfaces (ENI), you must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable it before using the mdix auto command. UNIs and ENIs are disabled by default. Network node interfaces (NNIs) are enabled by default.

When auto-MDIX (along with autonegotiation of speed and duplex) is enabled on one or both of connected interfaces, link up occurs, even if the required cable type (straight-through or crossover) is not present.

Auto-MDIX is supported on all 10/100-Mbps interfaces and on 10/100/1000BASE-T/BASE-TX small form-factor pluggable (SFP)-module interfaces. It is not supported on 1000BASE-SX or -LX SFP module interfaces.

Examples

This example shows how to enable auto-MDIX on a port:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# speed auto
Switch(config-if)# duplex auto
Switch(config-if)# mdix auto
Switch(config-if)# end
 
   

You can verify the operational state of auto-MDIX on the interface by entering the show controllers ethernet-controller interface-id phy privileged EXEC command.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You cannot use the RJ-45 interface and the SFP interface of the dual-purpose ports simultaneously to provide redundant links.

When you select auto-select, the switch dynamically selects the type that first links up. This is the default mode. The switch disables the other media type until the active link goes down. When the active link goes down, the switch enables both types until one of them links up. If there are active links on both media, the SFP link has priority. In auto-select mode, the switch configures both types with autonegotiation of speed and duplex (the default).

When you select rj45, the switch disables the SFP module interface. If you connect a cable to the SFP port, it cannot attain a linkup even if the RJ-45 side is down or is not connected. In this mode, the dual-purpose port behaves like a 10/100/1000BASE-TX interface. You can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with this interface type.

When you select sfp, the switch disables the RJ-45 interface. If you connect a cable to this port, it cannot attain a linkup even if the SFP module side is down or if the SFP module is not present. Based on the type of installed SFP module, you can configure the speed and duplex settings consistent with this interface type.

To configure speed or duplex settings on a dual-purpose port, you must first select the media type. If you configure auto-select, you cannot configure the speed and duplex interface configuration commands. When you change the interface type, the speed and duplex configurations are removed. The switch configures both types to autonegotiate speed and duplex (the default).

When the media type ia auto-select, the switch uses these criteria to select the media type:


Note An SFP is not installed until it has a fiber or copper cable plugged into the SFP module.


If only one media type is installed, that interface is active and remains active until the media is removed or the switch is reloaded.

If you install both media types in a dual-purpose port that is enabled, the switch selects the active link based on which type is installed first.

When the switch powers on with both cables connected, or when you enable a dual-purpose port through the shutdown and the no shutdown interface configuration commands, the switch gives preference to the SFP module interface. In all other situations, the switch selects the active link based on the type that first links up.

Examples

This example shows how to select the SFP interface:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# media-type sfp
 
   

You can verify your setting by entering the show interfaces interface-id capabilities or the show interfaces interface-id transceiver properties privileged EXEC commands.

monitor session

Use the monitor session global configuration command to start a new Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) session or Remote SPAN (RSPAN) source or destination session, to enable incoming traffic on the destination port for a network security device (such as a Cisco IDS Sensor Appliance), to add or delete interfaces or VLANs to or from an existing SPAN or RSPAN session, and to limit (filter) SPAN source traffic to specific VLANs. Use the no form of this command to remove the SPAN or RSPAN session or to remove source or destination interfaces or filters from the SPAN or RSPAN session.

no monitor session session_number source {interface interface-id [, | -] [both | rx | tx]} | {vlan vlan-id [, | -] [both | rx | tx]} | {remote vlan vlan-id}

Syntax Description

session_number

Specify the session number identified with the SPAN or RSPAN session. The range is 1 to 66.

interface interface-id

Specify the destination or source interface for a SPAN or RSPAN session. Valid interfaces are physical ports (including type and port number). For source interface, port channel is also a valid interface type, and the valid range is 1 to 48.

destination

Specify the SPAN or RSPAN destination. A destination must be a physical port.

encapsulation replicate

(Optional) Specify the encapsulation method. If not selected, the default is to send packets in native form (untagged).

dot1q—Specify IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation.

replicate—Specify that the destination interface replicates the source interface encapsulation method.

Note Entering these keywords is valid only for local SPAN. For RSPAN, the RSPAN VLAN ID overwrites the original VLAN ID; therefore packets are always sent untagged.

ingress

(Optional) Enable ingress traffic forwarding.

dot1q vlan vlan-id

Specify ingress forwarding using IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation with the specified VLAN as the default VLAN for ingress traffic.

untagged vlan vlan-id

Specify ingress forwarding using untagged encapsulation with the specified VLAN as the default VLAN for ingress traffic

vlan vlan-id

When used with only the ingress keyword, set default VLAN for ingress traffic.

remote vlan vlan-id

Specify the remote VLAN for an RSPAN source or destination session. The range is 2 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.

Note The RSPAN VLAN cannot be VLAN 1 (the default VLAN) or VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 (reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs).

,

(Optional) Specify a series of interfaces or VLANs, or separate a range of interfaces or VLANs from a previous range. Enter a space before and after the comma.

-

(Optional) Specify a range of interfaces or VLANs. Enter a space before and after the hyphen.

filter vlan vlan-id

Specify a list of VLANs as filters on trunk source ports to limit SPAN source traffic to specific VLANs. The vlan-id range is 1 to 4094.

source

Specify the SPAN or RSPAN source. A source can be a physical port, a port channel, or a VLAN.

both, rx, tx

(Optional) Specify the traffic direction to monitor. If you do not specify a traffic direction, the source interface sends both transmitted and received traffic.

source vlan vlan-id

Specify the SPAN source interface as a VLAN ID. The range is 1 to 4094.

all, local, remote

Specify all, local, or remote with the no monitor session command to clear all SPAN and RSPAN, all local SPAN, or all RSPAN sessions.


Defaults

No monitor sessions are configured.

On a source interface, the default is to monitor both received and transmitted traffic.

On a trunk interface used as a source port, all VLANs are monitored.

If encapsulation dot1q or encapsulation replicate is not specified on a local SPAN destination port, packets are sent in native form with no encapsulation tag.

Ingress forwarding is disabled on destination ports.

Usage Guidelines

Traffic that enters or leaves source ports or source VLANs can be monitored by using SPAN or RSPAN. Traffic routed to source ports or source VLANs cannot be monitored.

You can set a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have a total of 66 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch.

You can have a maximum of 64 destination ports on a switch.

Each session can include multiple ingress or egress source ports or VLANs, but you cannot combine source ports and source VLANs in a single session. Each session can include multiple destination ports.

When you use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) to analyze network traffic in a VLAN or set of VLANs, all active ports in the source VLANs become source ports for the SPAN or RSPAN session. Trunk ports are included as source ports for VSPAN, and only packets with the monitored VLAN ID are sent to the destination port.

You can monitor traffic on a single port or VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a series or range of interfaces or VLANs by using the [, | -] options.

If you specify a series of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you specify a range of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).

EtherChannel ports cannot be configured as SPAN or RSPAN destination ports. A physical port that is a member of an EtherChannel group can be used as a destination port, but it cannot participate in the EtherChannel group while it is as a SPAN destination.

A private-VLAN port cannot be configured as a SPAN destination port.

You can monitor individual ports while they participate in an EtherChannel, or you can monitor the entire EtherChannel bundle by specifying the port-channel number as the RSPAN source interface.

A port used as a destination port cannot be a SPAN or RSPAN source, nor can a port be a destination port for more than one session at a time.

You can enable IEEE 802.1x on a port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port; however, IEEE 802.1x is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination. (If IEEE 802.1x is not available on the port, the switch returns an error message.) You can enable IEEE 802.1x on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.

VLAN filtering refers to analyzing network traffic on a selected set of VLANs on trunk source ports. By default, all VLANs are monitored on trunk source ports. You can use the monitor session session_number filter vlan vlan-id command to limit SPAN traffic on trunk source ports to only the specified VLANs.

VLAN monitoring and VLAN filtering are mutually exclusive. If a VLAN is a source, VLAN filtering cannot be enabled. If VLAN filtering is configured, a VLAN cannot become a source.

If ingress traffic forwarding is enabled for a network security device, the destination port forwards traffic at Layer 2.

Destination ports can be configured to act in these ways:

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id with no other keywords, egress encapsulation is untagged, and ingress forwarding is not enabled.

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate with no other keywords, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress forwarding is not enabled. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate ingress, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q or untagged. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)

When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id ingress, egress encapsulation is untagged; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q or untagged.

Examples

This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source port 1 to destination port 2:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/1 both
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2
 
   

This example shows how to delete a destination port from an existing local SPAN session:

Switch(config)# no monitor session 2 destination gigabitethernet0/2
 
   

This example shows how to limit SPAN traffic in an existing session only to specific VLANs:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 filter vlan 100 - 110
 
   

This example shows how to configure RSPAN source session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces and to configure the destination RSPAN VLAN 900.

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/1 
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2 tx
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 900
Switch(config)# end
 
   

This example shows how to configure an RSPAN destination session 10 in the switch receiving the monitored traffic.

Switch(config)# monitor session 10 source remote vlan 900
Switch(config)# monitor session 10 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 
 
   

This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that supports IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. Egress traffic replicates the source; ingress traffic uses IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation.

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 encapsulation 
replicate ingress dot1q vlan 5 
 
   

This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that does not support encapsulation. Egress traffic and ingress traffic are untagged.

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet0/2 ingress 
untagged vlan 5

mvr (global configuration)

Use the mvr global configuration command without keywords to enable the multicast VLAN registration (MVR) feature on the switch. Use the command with keywords to set the MVR mode for a switch, to configure the MVR IP multicast address, to set the maximum time to wait for a query reply before removing a port from group membership, and to specify the MVR multicast VLAN. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

mvr [group ip-address [count] | mode [compatible | dynamic] | querytime value | ringmode flood | vlan vlan-id]

no mvr [group ip-address | mode [compatible | dynamic] | querytime | ringmode flood | vlan vlan-id]

Syntax Description

group ip-address

Statically configure an MVR group IP multicast address on the switch.

Use the no form of this command to remove a statically configured IP multicast address or contiguous addresses or, when no IP address is entered, to remove all statically configured MVR IP multicast addresses.

count

(Optional) Configure multiple contiguous MVR group addresses. The range is 1 to 2000. However, if the mode is compatible, the switch allows only 512 groups, even if you enter a value greater than 512. Dynamic mode supports 2000 groups. The default is 1.

mode

(Optional) Specify the MVR mode of operation.

The default is compatible mode.

compatible

Set MVR mode to provide compatibility with Catalyst 2900 XL and Catalyst 3500 XL switches. This mode does not allow dynamic membership joins on source ports.

dynamic

Set MVR mode to allow dynamic MVR membership on source ports.

querytime value

(Optional) Set the maximum time to wait for IGMP report memberships on a receiver port. This time applies only to receiver-port leave processing. When an IGMP query is sent from a receiver port, the switch waits for the default or configured MVR querytime for an IGMP group membership report before removing the port from multicast group membership.

The value is the response time in units of tenths of a second. The range is 1 to 100; the default is 5 tenths (one-half) second.

Use the no form of the command to return to the default setting.

ringmode flood

(Optional) Enable MVR ring mode flooding for access rings. Entering this command controls traffic flow in egress ports in a ring environment to prevent the dropping of unicast traffic.

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Specify the VLAN on which MVR multicast data is to be received. This is also the VLAN to which all the source ports belong. The range is 1 to 4094. The default is VLAN 1.


Defaults

MVR is disabled by default.

The default MVR mode is compatible mode.

No IP multicast addresses are configured on the switch by default.

The default group ip address count is 0.

The default query response time is 5 tenths (one-half) second.

The default multicast VLAN for MVR is VLAN 1.

Usage Guidelines

Use the mvr group command to statically set up all the IP multicast addresses that will take part in MVR. Any multicast data sent to a configured multicast address is sent to all the source ports on the switch and to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data on that IP multicast address.

When MVR mode is compatible (the default), you can configure 512 multicast entries (MVR group addresses). Although the range appears in the command line help as 1 to 2000, the switch allows only 512 groups.

When MVR mode is dynamic, you can configure a maximum of 2000 MVR group addresses on the switch. The maximum number of simultaneous active multicast streams (that is, the maximum number of television channels that can be receiving) is 512. When this limit is reached, a message is generated that the Maximum hardware limit of groups had been reached. Note that a hardware entry occurs when there is an IGMP join on a port or when you configure a port to join a group by entering the mvr vlan vlan-id group ip-address interface configuration command.

MVR supports aliased IP multicast addresses on the switch. However, if the switch is interoperating with Catalyst 3550 or 3500 XL switches, you should not configure IP addresses that alias between themselves or with the reserved IP multicast addresses (in the range 224.0.0.xxx).

The mvr querytime command applies only to receiver ports.

If the switch MVR is interoperating with Catalyst 2900 XL or 3500 XL switches, set the multicast mode to compatible.

When operating in compatible mode, MVR does not support IGMP dynamic joins on MVR source ports.

MVR can coexist with IGMP snooping on a switch.

Multicast routing and MVR cannot coexist on a switch. If you enable multicast routing and a multicast routing protocol while MVR is enabled, MVR is disabled and a warning message appears. If you try to enable MVR while multicast routing and a multicast routing protocol are enabled, the operation to enable MVR is cancelled with an Error message.

Starting with Cisco IOS release 12.2(52)SE, you can enter the mvr ringmode flood global configuration command to ensure that data forwarding in a ring topology is limited to membership detected ports and excludes forwarding to multicast router ports. This prevents unicast traffic from being dropped in a ring environment when MVR multicast traffic is flowing in one direction and unicast traffic is flowing in the other direction.

Examples

This example shows how to enable MVR:

Switch(config)# mvr
 
   

Use the show mvr privileged EXEC command to display the current setting for maximum multicast groups.

This example shows how to configure 228.1.23.4 as an IP multicast address:

Switch(config)# mvr group 228.1.23.4
 
   

This example shows how to configure ten contiguous IP multicast groups with multicast addresses from 228.1.23.1 to 228.1.23.10:

Switch(config)# mvr group 228.1.23.1 10
 
   

Use the show mvr members privileged EXEC command to display the configured IP multicast group addresses.

This example shows how to set the maximum query response time as one second (10 tenths):

Switch(config)# mvr querytime 10
 
   

This example shows how to set VLAN 2 as the multicast VLAN:

Switch(config)# mvr vlan 2 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show mvr privileged EXEC command.

Command
Description

mvr (interface configuration)

Configures MVR ports.

show mvr

Displays MVR global parameters or port parameters.

show mvr interface

Displays the configured MVR interfaces with their type, mode, VLAN, status and Immediate Leave configuration, and can also displays all MVR groups of which the interface is a member.

show mvr members

Displays all ports that are members of an MVR multicast group; if the group has no members, its status is shown as Inactive.


mvr (interface configuration)

Use the mvr interface configuration command to configure a Layer 2 port as a multicast VLAN registration (MVR) receiver or source port, to set the Immediate Leave feature, and to statically assign a port to an IP multicast VLAN and IP address. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.

mvr {immediate | type {receiver | source} | vlan vlan-id {[group ip-address] [receiver vlan vlan-id]}}

no mvr {immediate | type {receiver | source} | vlan vlan-id {[group ip-address] [receiver vlan vlan-id]}}

Syntax Description

immediate

(Optional) Enable the Immediate Leave feature of MVR on a port. Use the no mvr immediate command to disable the feature.

type

(Optional) Configure the port as an MVR receiver port or a source port.

The default port type is neither an MVR source nor a receiver port. The no mvr type command resets the port as neither a source or a receiver port.

receiver

Configure the port as a subscriber port that can only receive multicast data. Receiver ports cannot belong to the multicast VLAN.

source

Configure the port as an uplink port that can send and receive multicast data for the configured multicast groups. All source ports on a switch belong to a single multicast VLAN.

Note When you are configuring a trunk port as an MVR receiver port, we recommend that the source port is configured as a network node interface (NNI) and the MVR trunk receiver port is configured as a user node interface (UNI) or an enhanced network interface (ENI).

vlan vlan-id

Specify the mvr vlan for the system.

group ip-address

(Optional) Statically configure the specified MVR IP multicast group address for the specified multicast VLAN ID. This is the IP address of the multicast group that the port or VLAN is joining.

receiver vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Specify a receiver VLAN.


Defaults

A port is configured as neither a receiver nor a source.

The Immediate Leave feature is disabled on all ports.

No receiver port is a member of any configured multicast group.

Usage Guidelines

Configure a port as a source port if that port should be able to both send and receive multicast data bound for the configured multicast groups. Multicast data is received on all ports configured as source ports.

Receiver ports on a switch can be in different VLANs, but should not belong to the multicast VLAN.

A port that is not taking part in MVR should not be configured as an MVR receiver port or a source port. A non-MVR port is a normal switch port, able to send and receive multicast data with normal switch behavior.

When Immediate Leave is enabled, a receiver port leaves a multicast group more quickly. Without Immediate Leave, when the switch receives an IGMP leave message from a group on a receiver port, it sends out an IGMP MAC-based query on that port and waits for IGMP group membership reports. If no reports are received in a configured time period, the receiver port is removed from multicast group membership. With Immediate Leave, an IGMP MAC-based query is not sent from the receiver port on which the IGMP leave was received. As soon as the leave message is received, the receiver port is removed from multicast group membership, which speeds up leave latency.

The Immediate Leave feature should be enabled only on receiver ports to which a single receiver device is connected.

The mvr vlan group command statically configures ports to receive multicast traffic sent to the IP multicast address. A port statically configured as a member of group remains a member of the group until statically removed. In compatible mode, this command applies only to receiver ports; in dynamic mode, it can also apply to source ports. Receiver ports can also dynamically join multicast groups by using IGMP join messages.

When operating in compatible mode, MVR does not support IGMP dynamic joins on MVR source ports.

An MVR port cannot be a private-VLAN port.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a port as an MVR receiver port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr type receiver
 
   

Use the show mvr interface privileged EXEC command to display configured receiver ports and source ports.

This example shows how to enable Immediate Leave on a port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr immediate
 
   

This example shows how to add a port on VLAN 1 as a static member of IP multicast group 228.1.23.4:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan1 group 230.1.23.4
 
   

This example shows how to add a port 2 on VLAN 100 as a static member of IP multicast group 228.1.23.4. In this example, the receive port is an access port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 100 group 228.1.23.4

This example shows how to add on port 5 the receiver VLAN 201 with an MVR VLAN of 100.

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/5
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 100 receiver vlan 201
 
   

This example shows how to add on port 5 the receiver VLAN 201 as a static member of the IP multicast group 239.1.1.1, with an MVR VLAN of 100:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/5
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 100 group 239.1.1.1 receiver vlan 201

Usage Guidelines

If the interface is a user network interface (UNI), you must enter the port-type nni or port-type eni interface configuration command before configuring pagp learn-method. Learn must be configured to the same method at both ends of the link.


Note The Cisco ME switch supports address learning only on aggregate ports even though the physical-port keyword is provided in the command-line interface (CLI). The pagp learn-method and the pagp port-priority interface configuration commands have no effect on the switch hardware, but they are required for PAgP interoperability with devices that only support address learning by physical ports.

Usage Guidelines

The permit (IPv6 access-list configuration mode) command is similar to the permit (IPv4 access-list configuration mode) command, but it is IPv6-specific.

Use the permit (IPv6) command after the ipv6 access-list command to enter IPv6 access-list configuration mode and to define the conditions under which a packet passes the access list.

Specifying IPv6 for the protocol argument matches against the IPv6 header of the packet.

By default, the first statement in an access list is number 10, and the subsequent statements increment by 10.

You can add permit, deny, or remark statements to an existing access list without re-entering the entire list. To add a new statement somewhere other than at the end of the list, create a new statement with an appropriate entry number that falls between two existing entry numbers to show where it belongs.

See the ipv6 access-list command for more information on defining IPv6 ACLs.

Every IPv6 ACL has implicit permit icmp any any nd-na, permit icmp any any nd-ns, and deny ipv6 any any statements as its last match conditions. The two permit conditions allow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery. To disallow ICMPv6 neighbor discovery and to deny icmp any any nd-na or icmp any any nd-ns, there must be an explicit deny entry in the ACL. For the three implicit statements to take effect, an IPv6 ACL must contain at least one entry.

The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses the IPv6 network layer service. Therefore, by default, IPv6 ACLs implicitly allow IPv6 neighbor discovery packets to be sent and received on an interface. In IPv4, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is equivalent to the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data link layer protocol. Therefore, by default, IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.

Both the source-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length and destination-ipv6-prefix/prefix-length arguments are used for traffic filtering (the source prefix filters traffic based upon its source; the destination prefix filters traffic based upon its destination).

The switch supports IPv6 address matching for a full range of prefix-lengths.

The fragments keyword is an option only if the operator [port-number] arguments are not specified.

beyond-scope

destination-unreachable

echo-reply

Examples

This example configures two IPv6 access lists named OUTBOUND and INBOUND and applies both access lists to outbound and inbound traffic on a Layer 3 interface. The first and second permit entries in the OUTBOUND list permit all TCP and UDP packets from network 2001:ODB8:0300:0201::/64 to leave the interface. The deny entry in the OUTBOUND list prevents all packets from the network FE80:0:0:0201::/64 (packets that have the link-local prefix FE80:0:0:0201 as the first 64 bits of their source IPv6 address) from leaving the interface. The third permit entry in the OUTBOUND list permits all ICMP packets to leave the interface.

The permit entry in the INBOUND list permits all ICMP packets to enter the interface.

Switch(config)#ipv6 access-list OUTBOUND
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# permit tcp 2001:0DB8:0300:0201::/64 any 
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# permit udp 2001:0DB8:0300:0201::/64 any 
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# deny FE80:0:0:0201::/64 any
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# permit icmp any any
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# exit
Switch(config)#ipv6 access-list INBOUND
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# permit icmp any any
Switch(config-ipv6-acl)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/3
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001::/64 eui-64
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 traffic-filter OUTBOUND out
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 traffic-filter INBOUND in

Note Given that a permit any any statement is not included as the last entry in the OUTBOUND or the INBOUND access list, only TCP, UDP, and ICMP packets can leave or enter the interface (the implicit deny-all condition at the end of the access list denies all other packet types on the interface).

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You enter MAC access-list configuration mode by using the mac access-list extended global configuration command.

If you use the host keyword, you cannot enter an address mask; if you do not use the any or host keywords, you must enter an address mask.

After an access control entry (ACE) is added to an access control list, an implied deny-any-any condition exists at the end of the list. That is, if there are no matches, the packets are denied. However, before the first ACE is added, the list permits all packets.


Note For more information about MAC-named extended access lists, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to define the MAC-named extended access list to allow NETBIOS traffic from any source to MAC address 00c0.00a0.03fa. Traffic matching this list is allowed.

Switch(config-ext-macl)# permit any host 00c0.00a0.03fa netbios
 
   

This example shows how to remove the permit condition from the MAC-named extended access list:

Switch(config-ext-macl)# no permit any 00c0.00a0.03fa 0000.0000.0000 netbios
 
   

This example permits all packets with Ethertype 0x4321:

Switch(config-ext-macl)# permit any any 0x4321 0
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show access-lists privileged EXEC command.

Note When police is used with the priority policy-map class command for unconditionally rate-limiting the priority queue, burst size values are not supported, and the rate-bps range is smaller. Only the default conform-action of transmit and the default exceed-action of drop are supported.


Syntax Description

cir

Committed information rate (CIR) used for policing traffic.

cir-bps

CIR rate in bps. The range is 8000 to 1000000000 bps.

Note The range for police with the priority command for output service policies is 64000 to 1000000000.

rate-bps

Specify the average traffic rate in b/s. The range is 8000 to 1000000000.

Note The range for police with the priority command for output service policies is 64000 to 1000000000.

burst-bytes

(Optional) Specify the normal burst size in bytes. The range is 8000 to 1000000.

bc [burst- value]

(Optional) Conform burst. The number of acceptable burst bytes. The range is 8000 to 1000000 bytes.

If no burst value is entered, the system calculates a burst value that equals the number of bytes that can be sent in 250 milliseconds (ms) at the CIR rate. In most cases, the automatically calculated value is appropriate; enter a new value only if you are aware of all implications.

pir pir-bps

(Optional) Peak information rate (PIR) used for policing traffic. The range is from 8000 to 1000000000 b/s.

be burst-bytes

(Optional) Exceed burst. The number of acceptable exceed burst bytes.

The range is 8000 to 1000000 bytes.

conform-action

(Optional) Action to be taken for packets that conform to (are less than or equal to) the CIR.

drop

(Optional) Drop the packet.

Note If the conform action is set to drop, the exceed and violate actions are automatically set to drop. If the exceed action is set to drop, the violate action is automatically set to drop.

set-cos-transmit new-cos-value

Set a new class of service (CoS) value for the packet and send the packet. This specifies the to-type of the marking action. The range for the new CoS value is 0 to 7.

set-dot1ad-dei-transmit new-dei-value

Set a new drop eligibility indicator (DEI) value in the IEEE 802.1ad frame for the packet, and send the packet. This specifies the to-type of the marking action. The range for the new DEI value is 0 to 1. The DEI value applies only to 802.1ad ports.

set-dscp-transmit new-dscp-value

Set a new Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value for the packet, and send the packet. This specifies the to-type of the marking action. The range for the new DCSP value is 0 to 63.

Usage Guidelines

You can configure conform-action marking by using enhanced packet marking and configure exceed-action to send the packet unmodified, mark using explicit values, and use all combinations of enhanced packet marking. Enhanced packet marking modifies a QoS marking based on any incoming QoS marking and table maps. The switch also supports marking multiple QoS parameters for the same class and simultaneously configuring conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action marking.

If the conform action is set to drop, the exceed and violate actions are automatically set to drop. If the exceed action is set to drop, the violate action is automatically set to drop.

The switch supports a maximum of 254 policer profiles. The number of supported policer instances is 1024 minus 1 more than the total number of interfaces on the switch. You can apply the same profile in multiple instances.

You can specify 256 unique VLAN classification criteria within a per-port, per-VLAN policy-map, across all ports on the switch. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a VLAN label resources exceeded error message.

You can attach per-port and per-port, per-VLAN policy-maps across all ports on the switch until QoS ACE classification resource limitations are reached. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a TCAM resources exceeded error message.

When CPU protection is enabled, you can configure only 45 policers per port. You can configure up to 64 policers per port by disabling CPU protection by entering the no policer cpu uni all global configuration command, and reloading the switch allows. You can enter the show policer cpu uni-eni {drop | rate} privileged EXEC command to see if CPU protection is enabled. For more information, see the policer cpu uni command.

Note these limitations when you disable CPU protection:

When CPU protection is disabled, you can configure a maximum of 63 policers per port (62 on every fourth port) for user-defined classes and one for class-default for all switches. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a policer resources exceeded error message.

When CPU protection is disabled, you can configure 255 policers on the switch for platform. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a policer resources exceeded error message.

If you disable CPU protection and attach a policy map with more than 45 policers, and enable CPU protection again, and then reload, 19 policers per port are again required for CPU protection. During reload, the policers 46 and above will reach the policer resources exceeded error condition, and no policers are attached to those classes.

Policing is only supported in input policies or in output policies that were configured with the priority policy-map class configuration command to reduce bandwidth in the priority queue.


Note When used with the priority command in an output policy, the police rate range is 64000 to 1000000000 bps, even though the range that appears in the command-line interface help is 8000 to 1000000000. You cannot attach an output service policy with an out-of-range rate.


An output policy map should match only the modified values of the out-of-profile traffic and not the original values.

Only 802.1ad S-UNI and S-NNI ports can use policers marking the DEI bit.

To configure multiple conform-actions or multiple exceed-actions, enter policy-map class police configuration mode, and use the conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action policy-map class police configuration commands.

If you do not configure a violate-action, by default the violate class is assigned the same action as the exceed action.

When you define the policer and press Enter, you enter policy-map class police configuration mode, in which you can configure multiple policing actions:

conform-action: the action to be taken on packets that conform to (are less than or equal to) the CIR. The default action is to transmit the packet. For more information, see the conform-action policy-map class police command.

exceed-action: the action to be taken on packets that exceed the CIR but are less than or equal to the PIR. The default action is to drop the packet. For more information, see the exceed-action policy-map class police command.

violate-action: the action to be taken on packets that exceed the PIR. The default action is to drop the packet. For more information, see the violate-action policy-map class police command.

exit: exits from QoS policy-map class police configuration mode. If you do not want to set multiple actions, you can enter exit without entering any other policy-map class police commands.

no: negates or sets the default values of a command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a policer with a 1-Mb/s average rate with a burst size of 20 KB. The policer sets a new DSCP precedence value if the packets conform to the rate and drops the packet if traffic exceeds the rate.

Switch(config)# policy-map policy1
Switch(config-pmap)# class inclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police cir 1000000 20000 conform-action set-dscp-transmit 46 
exceed-action drop
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to configure 2-rate, 3-color policing by using policy-map configuration mode.

Switch(config)# class-map cos-4
Switch(config-cmap)# match cos 4
Switch(config-cmap)# exit
Switch(config)# policy-map in-policy

The set-dot1ad-dei-transmit keywords were added.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure conform-action marking using enhanced packet marking and configure exceed-action and violate-action to send the packet unmodified, mark using explicit values, and use all combinations of enhanced packet marking. Enhanced packet marking modifies a QoS marking based on any incoming QoS marking and table maps. The switch also supports marking multiple QoS parameters for the same class, and simultaneously configuring conform-action, exceed-action, and violate-action marking.

If the conform action is set to drop, the exceed and violate actions are automatically set to drop. If the exceed action is set to drop, the violate action is automatically set to drop.

If you do not configure a violate-action, by default the violate class is assigned the same action as the exceed-action.

The switch supports a maximum of 254 unique aggregate policers.

Aggregate policing is supported only in input policy maps.

Table maps are not supported for violate-action for aggregate policing unless a table map is configured for exceed-action and no explicit action is configured for violate action.

You can simultaneously configure multiple conform, exceed, and violate actions for an aggregate policer as parameters in the policer aggregate global configuration command, but you must enter the actions in this order:

conform-action must be followed by drop or transmit or by set actions in this order:

set-qos-transmit

set-dscp-transmit or set-prec-transmit

set-cos-transmit

exceed-action must be followed by drop or transmit or by set actions in this order:

set-qos-transmit

set-dscp-transmit or set-prec-transmit

set-cos-transmit

violate-action must be followed by drop or transmit or by set actions in this order:

set-qos-transmit

set-dscp-transmit or set-prec-transmit

set-cos-transmit

An output policy map should match only the modified values of the out-of-profile traffic and not the original values.

Only 802.1ad S-UNI and S-NNI ports can use policers marking the DEI bit.

When you configure an aggregate policer, you can configure specific burst sizes and conform and exceed actions. If burst size (bc) is not specified, the system calculates an appropriate burst size value that equals the number of bytes that can be sent in 250 ms at the CIR rate. In most cases, the automatically calculated value is appropriate. Enter a new value only if you are aware of all implications.

Examples

This example shows how to configure an aggregate policer named agg-pol-1 and attach it to multiple classes within a policy map:

Switch(config)# policer aggregate agg-pol-1 10900000 80000 exceed-action drop

Usage Guidelines

The switch supports a maximum of 229 policer instances associated with ports (228 user-configurable policers and 1 policer reserved for internal use). When CPU protection is enabled (the default), you can configure 45 ingress policers per port. If you disable CPU protection by entering the no policer cpu uni all global configuration command and reloading the switch, you can configure up to 64 ingress policers per port (63 policers on every fourth port). For more information, see the policer cpu uni command.

Aggregate policing applies only to input policy maps.

An aggregate policer differs from an individual policer in that it is shared by multiple traffic classes within a policy map. You use an aggregate policer to police traffic streams across multiple classes in a policy map attached to an interface. You cannot use aggregate policing to aggregate traffic streams across multiple interfaces.

Only one policy map can use any specific aggregate policer.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the aggregate policing with default actions and apply it across all classes on the same port:

Switch(config)# policy-map inpolicy
Switch(config-pmap)# class in-class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police aggregate agg_policer1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class in-class2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police aggregate agg_policer1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class in-class3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police aggregate agg_policer1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show aggregate policer privileged EXEC command.

Modification

This command was introduced.

12.2(50)SE

The all keyword was added for disabling or enabling CPU protection.


Usage Guidelines

To protect against accidental or intentional CPU overload, the switch automatically provides CPU protection or control-plane security by dropping or rate-limiting a predefined set of Layer 2 control packets and some Layer 3 control packets for UNIs and ENIs. The switch pre-allocates 27 control-plane security policers for CPU protection, numbered 0 to 26. A policer of 26 means a drop policer. A policer value of 0 to 25 means that the port uses a rate-limiting policer for the control protocol.

CPU policers are pre-allocated. You can configure only the rate-limiting threshold by using the policer cpu uni rate-bps command. The configured threshold applies to all control protocols and all UNIs and ENIs.

CPU protection policing uses 19 policers per port, which allows attaching a maximum of 45 ingress policers to a port. If you need more than 45 policers on a port, you can disable CPU protection by entering the no cpu policer uni all global configuration command before you attach a policy map with more than 45 policers. When CPU protection is disabled, you can attach up to 64 ingress policers to a port.

Note these limitations when you disable CPU protection:

When CPU protection is disabled, you can configure a maximum of 63 policers per port (62 on every 4th port) for user-defined classes, and one for class-default for all switches. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a policer resources exceeded error message.

When CPU protection is disabled, you can configure a maximum of 255 policers on the ME3400E-24TS switch. Any policy attachment or change that causes this limit to be exceeded fails with a policer resources exceeded error message.

If you disable CPU protection and attach a policy map with more than 45 policers, and then enable CPU protection again, and reload, 19 policers per port are again required for CPU protection. During reload, the policers 46 and above will reach the policer resources exceeded error condition and no policers are attached to those classes.


Note For every four ports on a switch (port 1-4, 5-8, etc.), the first three ports support 64 policers, but the fourth port can support only 63 policers.


When you disable or enable the CPU protection feature, you must reload the switch by entering the reload privileged EXEC command before the configuration takes effect.


Note When CPU protection is turned off, protocol packets can reach the CPU, which could cause CPU processing overload and storm control through software.


You can enter the show policer cpu uni-eni {drop | rate} privileged EXEC command to see if CPU protection is enabled.

For more information about control-plane security, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to set CPU protection threshold to 10000 b/s and to verify the configuration.

Switch# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# policer cpu uni 10000

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The switch supports a maximum of 256 unique policy maps.

Before configuring policies for classes whose match criteria are defined in a class map, use the policy-map command to specify the name of the policy map to be created or modified. Entering the policy-map command also enables the policy-map configuration mode, in which you can configure or modify the class policies for that policy map.

After entering the policy-map command, you enter policy-map configuration mode, and these configuration commands are available:

class: the specified traffic classification for which the policy actions are applied. The classification is defined in the class-map global configuration command. For more information, see the class-map command.

description: describes the policy map (up to 200 characters).

exit: exits policy-map configuration mode and returns to global configuration mode.

no: removes a previously defined policy map.


Note If you enter the no policy-map configuration command or the no policy-map policy-map-name global configuration command to delete a policy map that is attached to an interface, a warning message appears that lists any interfaces from which the policy map is being detached. The policy map is then detached and deleted. For example:
Warning: Detaching Policy test1 from Interface GigabitEthernet0/1


You can configure class policies in a policy map only if the classes have match criteria defined for them. To configure the match criteria for a class, use the class-map global configuration and match class-map configuration commands. You define packet classification on a physical-port basis.

You can create input policy maps and output policy maps, and you can assign one input policy map and one output policy map to a port. The input policy map acts on incoming traffic on the port; the output policy map acts on outgoing traffic.

You can apply the same policy map to multiple physical ports.

Follow these guidelines when configuring input policy maps:

The total number of input policy maps that can be attached to interfaces on the switch is limited by the availability of hardware resources. If you attempt to attach an input policy map that would exceed any hardware resource limitation, the configuration fails.

An input policy map can contain a maximum of 64 class maps, plus class-default.

You cannot configure an IP (IP standard and extended ACL, DSCP or IP precedence) and a non-IP (MAC ACL or CoS) classification within the same policy map, either within a single class map or across class maps within the policy map.

After you use the service-policy input policy-map configuration command to attach an input policy map to an interface, you can modify the policy without detaching it from the interface. You can add or delete classification criteria, classes, or actions, or change the parameters of the configured actions (policers, rates, mapping, marking, and so on).

These commands are not supported on input policy maps: match qos-group command, bandwidth command for Class-Based-Weighting-Queuing (CBWFQ), priority command for class-based priority queueing, queue-limit command for Weighted Tail Drop (WTD), shape average command for port shaping, or class-based traffic shaping.

Follow these guidelines when configuring output policy maps:

Output policy maps can have a maximum of four classes, one of which is the class-default.

The switch supports configuration and attachment of a unique output policy map for each port on the switch. However, these output policy maps can contain only three configurations of queue limits. You can include these three unique queue-limit configurations in as many output policy maps as there are switch ports. If you try to attach an output policy map that has a fourth queue-limit configuration, you see an error message, and the attachment is not allowed. There are no limitations on the configurations of bandwidth, priority, or shaping.

All output policy maps must include the same number of class maps (one to three) and the same classification (that is, the same class maps).

After you have attached a output policy map to an interface by using the service-policy output interface configuration command, you can only change the parameters of the configured actions (rates, percentages, and so on) or add or delete classification criteria of the class map while the policy map is attached to the interface. To add or delete a class or an action, you must detach the policy map from all interfaces, change it, and then reattach it to interfaces.

These commands are not supported on output policy maps: match access-group command, set command for marking, and police command for policing without including the priority command.

For more information about policy maps, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

This example shows how to create an input policy map for three classes:

Switch(config)# policy-map input-all
Switch(config-pmap)# class gold
Switch(config-pmap-c)# set dscp af43
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class silver
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 50000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class bronze
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 20000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to configure an output policy map that provides priority with rate limiting to the gold class and guarantees a minimum remaining bandwidth percent of 20 percent to the silver class and 10 percent to the bronze class:

Switch(config)# policy-map output-2
Switch(config-pmap)# class gold-out
Switch(config-pmap-c)# priority
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 50000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class silver-out
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class bronze-out
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to delete the policy map output-2:

Switch(config)# no policy-map output-2
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show policy-map privileged EXEC command.

port-type

Use the port-type interface configuration command to change the port type on a Cisco ME switch from its existing port type to a network node interface (NNI), a user network interface (UNI), or an enhanced network interfaces (ENI). Use the no form of this command to return the port to its default setting.

port-type {eni | nni | uni}

no port-type

Syntax Description

eni

Enhanced network interface. ENIs have the same default configuration as UNIs, but you can configure ENI to support protocol control packets for Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), and EtherChannel Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP).

nni

Network node interface.

uni

User network interface.


Defaults

If no configuration file exists, all the 10/100 ports on the Cisco ME switch are UNIs, and the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module slots on the Cisco ME switch are NNIs. You must configure a port to be an ENI port.

A port configured as an ENI has the same defaults as a UNI port, but the you can configure control protocols (CDP, STP, LLDP, LACP and PAgP) on ENIs. These protocols are not supported on UNIs.

The default status for a UNI or ENI is administratively down to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to other ports as you configure the switch. You must use the no shutdown interface configuration command to enable a UNI or ENI before you can configure it.

The default status for an NNI is administratively up to allow a service provider remote access to the switch during initial configuration.

Configuring a port as an ENI does not change the administrative state of the port. If the port state is shutdown before a port-type change, it remains in shutdown state; if the state is no shutdown, it remains in no shutdown state.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

Usage Guidelines

A port can be reconfigured to another port type. When a port is reconfigured as the other interface type, it inherits all the characteristics of that interface type. By default all ports on the switch are either UNI or NNI. At any time, all ports on the Cisco ME switch are UNIs, NNIs, or ENIs.

Some features are not supported only on all port types. Control protocols (CDP, STP, LLDP, and EtherChannel LACP and PAgP) have different support on each port type:

On NNIs, these features are enabled by default.

On ENIs, these features are disabled by default, but you can enable them by using the command-line interface.

On UNIs, these features are not supported.

For information about specific feature support, see the software configuration guide for this release.When you change a port from one type to another, any features exclusive to a port type are removed from the configuration to prevent conflicting configuration options on a specific interface.

Every port on the switch can be a UNI or ENI, but when the switch is running the metro access image, only four ports can be NNIs at the same time. If the switch is running the metro IP access image, you can configure all ports as NNIs.

Entering the no port-type or default port-type interface configuration command returns the port to the default state: UNI for Fast Ethernet ports and NNI for Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Traffic is not switched between UNIs or ENIs, and all traffic incoming on UNIs or ENIs must exit on NNIs to prevent a user from gaining access to another user's private network. If it is appropriate for two or more UNIs or ENIs to exchange traffic within the switch, you can assign the interface to a community VLAN. A community VLAN can contain a maximum of eight UNIs or ENIs. We do not recommend mixing UNIs and ENIs in the same community VLAN.

For more information about configuring VLANs, see the software configuration guide for this release.

Examples

power-supply dual

Use the power-supply dual global configuration command to enable power-supply alarms (LED state, MIB state, and MIB traps) when only one power supply is installed in the switch. Use the no form of this command when running the switch on a single power supply to suppress the power-supply alarm for the missing second power supply. Use the power-supply dual dc-feed command to enable an alarm when a DC-power input is not present.

power-supply dual [dc-feed]

no power-supply dual [dc-feed]

Syntax Description

dc-feed

(Optional) Entering the no power-supply dual dc-feed command specifies that only one DC input is expected when a DC-power supply is installed. This suppresses any alarm associated with a missing DC input.


Defaults

The default is that no alarm occurs with only one installed power supply (no power-supply dual). The default when a DC-power supply is installed is that both DC inputs are providing power. If not, an alarm is triggered.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Entering the no power-supply dual global configuration command (the default) specifies that only one power supply is expected to be present. The switch does not generate an alarm when a power supply is missing.

This command controls only the sending of messages about the absence of a second power supply or the absence of input to the second power supply. The software detects whether a power supply is present and if there is an input voltage. When there is input, the software can detect if there is an output voltage and if the fan is operating.

If only one power supply is present, no alarm is sent. However, if this power supply is connected to the AC input and is not receiving or sending power, a power-supply fault message is sent.

If two power supplies are present, and both are receiving and sending power, no message is sent.

If two power supplies are present, and one is connected and operating and the other is not connected to the AC input, no message is sent.

If two power supplies are present and both are connected to AC inputs, but only one is receiving or sending power, a power-supply fault message is sent.


Note The switch always sends an error message when an AC-power supply is connected to an AC input but is not receiving or sending power.


If you operate the switch with two power supplies, enter the power-supply dual global configuration command to configure the switch to send a message when one power supply is missing.

When one or two DC-power supplies are installed, if the switch does not detect both DC inputs, it creates an LED alarm color and sends a system message. If you want to use only one DC input, enter the no power-supply dual dc-feed global configuration command to disable alarm messages if the second DC input is not present. This command is valid only when DC-power supplies are installed in the switch.

Examples

This example shows how to suppress power-supply alarms for a missing second power supply and to verify the configuration:

Switch(config)# no power-supply dual
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show env power
POWER SUPPLY 1 is DC OK
   DC A Input: OK
   DC B Input: OK
   Output    : OK
   Fan       : OK
POWER SUPPLY 2 is DC OK
   DC A Input: OK
   DC B Input: OK
   Output    : OK
   Fan       : OK
 
   

This example shows how to suppress power-supply alarms when a DC-power supply is installed and only one DC input is present:

Switch(config)# no power-supply dual dc-feed
Switch(config)# end
 
   

You can display the power-supply alarm status by entering the show env all or show env power privileged EXEC commands.

priority

Use the priority policy-map class configuration command to configure class-based priority queuing for a class of traffic belonging to an output policy map. The switch supports strict priority queuing or priority used with the police policy-map command. Use the no form of this command to remove a priority specified for a class.

priority

no priority


Note When the police command is used with the priority policy-map class command for unconditionally rate-limiting the priority queue, burst size values are not supported for the police command.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When used by itself (not followed by the police policy-map command), the priority command assigns traffic to a low-latency path and ensures that packets belonging to the class have the lowest possible latency. With strict priority queuing, packets in the priority queue are scheduled and sent until the queue is empty.


Note You should exercise care when using the priority command without the policy command. Excessive use of strict priority queuing might cause congestion in other queues.


You can use priority with the police {rate-bps | cir cir-bps} policy-map command to reduce the bandwidth used by the priority queue. This is the only form of policing that is supported in output policy maps. Using this combination of commands configures a maximum rate on the priority queue and allows you to use the bandwidth and shape average policy-map commands for other classes to allocate traffic rates on other queues.


Note When you use the police command with the priority command in an output policy, the police rate range is 64000 to 1000000000 bps, even though the range that appears in the command-line help is 8000 to 1000000000. Configured burst size is ignored when you try to attach the output service policy.


When you configure priority in an output policy map without the police command, you can only configure the other queues for sharing by using the bandwidth remaining percent policy-map class command. This command does not guarantee the allocated bandwidth, but the rate of distribution.

When you configure priority in an output policy map with the police command, you can configure other queues for sharing by using the bandwidth policy-map class command and for shaping by using the shape average policy-map class command.

You can associate the priority command only with a single unique class for all attached output policies on the switch.

You cannot associate the priority command with the class-default of the output policy map.

You cannot configure priority and any other scheduling action (shape average or bandwidth) in the same class.

The priority command uses a default queue limit for the class. You can change the queue limit by using the queue-limit policy-map class command, overriding the default set by the priority command.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the class out-class1 as a strict priority queue so that all packets in that class are sent before any other class of traffic. Other traffic queues are configured so that out-class-2 gets 50 percent of the remaining bandwidth and out-class3 gets 20 percent of the remaining bandwidth. The class class-default receives the remaining 30 percent with no guarantees.

Switch(config)# policy-map policy1
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# priority
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 50
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth remaining percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output policy1
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to use the priority with police commands to configure out-class1 as the priority queue, with traffic going to the queue limited to 20000000 bits per second (bps) so that the priority queue never uses more than that. Traffic above that rate is dropped. The other traffic queues are configured as in the previous example.

Switch(config)# policy-map policy1
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# priority
Switch(config-pmap-c)# police 20000000
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 50
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class out-class3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output policy1
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show policy-map privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

You must manually configure private VLANs on all switches in the Layer 2 network to merge their Layer 2 databases and to prevent flooding of private-VLAN traffic.

You cannot include VLAN 1 or VLANs 1002 to 1005 in the private-VLAN configuration. Extended VLANs (VLAN IDs 1006 to 4094) can be configured as private VLANs.

You can associate a secondary (isolated or community) VLAN with only one primary VLAN. A primary VLAN can have one isolated VLAN and multiple community VLANs associated with it.

A secondary VLAN cannot be configured as a primary VLAN.

The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single private-VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of private-VLAN IDs. The list can contain one isolated VLAN and multiple community VLANs.

If you delete either the primary or secondary VLANs, the ports associated with the VLAN become inactive.

A community VLAN carries traffic among community ports and from community ports to the promiscuous ports on the corresponding primary VLAN. A community VLAN can include no more than eight user network interfaces (UNIs).

An isolated VLAN is used by isolated ports to communicate with promiscuous ports. It does not carry traffic to other community ports or to isolated ports with the same primary VLAN domain.

A primary VLAN is the VLAN that carries traffic from a gateway to customer end stations on private ports.

Configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVIs) only for primary VLANs. You cannot configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces for secondary VLANs. SVIs for secondary VLANs are inactive while the VLAN is configured as a secondary VLAN.

The private-vlan commands do not take effect until you exit from VLAN configuration mode.

Do not configure private-VLAN ports as EtherChannels. While a port is part of the private-VLAN configuration, any EtherChannel configuration for it is inactive.

A private VLAN cannot be a Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN) VLAN.

A private VLAN cannot be a user network interface-enhanced network interface (UNI-ENI) VLAN. If the VLAN is a UNI-ENI isolated VLAN (the default), you can change it to a private VLAN by entering the private-vlan VLAN configuration command. If a VLAN has been configured as a UNI-ENI community VLAN, you must first enter the no uni-vlan VLAN configuration command before configuring it as a private VLAN.

Although a private VLAN contains more than one VLAN, only one STP instance runs for the entire private VLAN. When a secondary VLAN is associated with the primary VLAN, the STP parameters of the primary VLAN are propagated to the secondary VLAN.

See the switchport private-vlan command for information about configuring host ports and promiscuous ports.


Note For more information about private-VLAN interaction with other features, see the software configuration guide for this release.


Examples

This example shows how to configure VLAN 20 as a primary VLAN, VLAN 501 as an isolated VLAN, VLANs 502 and 503 as community VLANs, and to associate them in a private VLAN. The example assumes that VLANs 502 and 503 were previously configured as UNI-ENI community VLANs.

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch(config)# vlan 20 
Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary 
Switch(config-vlan)# exit 
Switch(config)# vlan 501 
Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolated 
Switch(config-vlan)# exit 
Switch(config)# vlan 502 
Switch(config-vlan)# no uni-vlan
Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan community 
Switch(config-vlan)# exit 
Switch(config)# vlan 503 
Switch(config-vlan)# no uni-vlan 
Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan community 
Switch(config-vlan)# exit 
Switch(config)# vlan 20 
Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 501-503
Switch(config-vlan)# end

You can verify your setting by entering the show vlan private-vlan or show interfaces status privileged EXEC command.

Usage Guidelines

The SVI of the primary VLAN is created at Layer 3.

Configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVIs) only for primary VLANs. You cannot configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces for secondary VLANs. SVIs for secondary VLANs are inactive while the VLAN is configured as a secondary VLAN.

The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single private-VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of private-VLAN IDs. The list can contain one isolated VLAN and multiple community VLANs.

Traffic that is received on the secondary VLAN is routed by the interface of the primary VLAN.

A secondary VLAN can be mapped to only one primary VLAN. IF you configure the primary VLAN as a secondary VLAN, all SVIs specified in this command are brought down.

If you configure a mapping between two VLANs that do not have a valid Layer 2 private-VLAN association, the mapping configuration does not take effect.

Examples

This example shows how to map the interface of VLAN 20 to the SVI of VLAN 18:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch# interface vlan 18
Switch(config-if)# private-vlan mapping 20 
Switch(config-vlan)# end
 
   

This example shows how to permit routing of secondary VLAN traffic from secondary VLANs 303 to 305 and 307 through VLAN 20 SVI:

Switch# configure terminal 
Switch# interface vlan 20
Switch(config-if)# private-vlan mapping 303-305, 307

Usage Guidelines

You use the queue-limit policy-map class command to control output traffic. Queue-limit settings are not supported in input policy maps.

Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE, the switch supports one output policy map for each interface. However, the limit of three unique queue-limit configurations across all output policy maps remains in effect. You can use the same queue-limit configuration across multiple policy maps.

Within an output policy map only four queues (classes) are allowed, including the class default. Each queue has three defined thresholds (queue limits). Only three queue-limit configurations are allowed on the switch, but multiple policy maps can share the same queue-limits. For two policy maps to share a queue-limit configuration, all threshold values must be the same for all classes in both policy maps.

If you try to attach an output policy map that contains a fourth queue-limit configuration to an interface, you see an error message, and the attachment is not allowed.

The queue-limit command is supported only after you first configure a scheduling action, such as bandwidth, shape-average, or priority, except when you configure queue-limit in the class-default of an output policy map.

You cannot configure more than two unique threshold values for WTD qualifiers (cos, dscp, precedence, or qos-group) in the queue-limit command. However, you can map any number of qualifiers to those thresholds. You can configure a third unique threshold value to set the maximum queue, using the queue-limit command with no qualifiers.

You cannot configure the queue limit in absolute (number of packets) and percentage terms in the same policy.

When you use the queue-limit command to configure thresholds within a class map, the WTD thresholds must be less than or equal to the maximum threshold of the queue. This means that the queue size configured without a qualifier must be larger than any of the queue sizes configured with a qualifier.

When you use the percent keyword to configure the queue limit, note that the threshold values for WTD qualifiers are calculated based on the number of packets (buffers) available for each policy or class (the default for which is 160 packets if you do not configure a queue limit). The threshold values are not a percentage of the total number of packets in the common pool on the switch.

Examples

This example shows how to configure WTD so that out-class1, out-class2, out-class3, and class-default get a minimum of 40, 20, 10 and 10 percent of the traffic bandwidth respectively. The corresponding queue-sizes are set to 48, 32, 16 and 272 (256-byte) packets:

Switch(config)# policy-map out-policy
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 40
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 48
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 32
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 16
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class class-default
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 272
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output out-policy
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

This example shows how to configure WTD for a Fast Ethernet port where outclass1, outclass2, and outclass3 get a minimum of 50, 20, and 10 percent of the traffic bandwidth. The class-default gets the remaining 20 percent. Each corresponding queue size is set to 64, 32, and 16 (256-byte) packets, respectively. The example also shows how if outclass1 matches to dscp 46, 56, 57, 58, 60, 63, a DSCP value of 46 gets a queue size of 32 (256-byte) packets; DSCP values 56, 57, and 58 get queue sizes of 48 (256-byte) packets; and the remaining DSCP values of 60 and 63 get the default queue size of 64 (256-byte) packets.

Switch(config)# policy-map out-policy
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 50
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 64
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit dscp 46 32
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit dscp 56 48
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit dscp 57 48
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit dscp 58 48
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 32
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class outclass3
Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth percent 10
Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 16
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# exit
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/1
Switch(config-if)# service-policy output out-policy
Switch(config-if)# exit
 
   

You can use these same queue-limit values in multiple output policy maps on the switch. However, changing one of the queue-limit values in a class would create a new, unique queue-limit configuration. You can attach only three unique queue-limit configurations in output policy maps to interfaces at any one time. If you try to attach an output policy map with a fourth unique queue-limit configuration, you see this error message:

QoS: Configuration failed. Maximum number of allowable unique queue-limit 
configurations exceeded.
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show policy-map privileged EXEC command.

This example shows how to configure WTD as a percentage of packets in the queue where freeclass1, freeclass2, and freeclass3 get a minimum of 20 percent of the traffic bandwidth. The class-default gets the remaining 10 percent. In the example:

Part A shows how you can set a percentage queue limit for each class of traffic.

Part B shows how you can set a percentage queue limit for the threshold.

Part C show how you can configure both in the same policy.

Part A:

Switch(config)#policy-map free-class
Switch(config-pmap)#class freeclass1
Switch(config-pmap-c)#bandwidth percent 20
Switch(config-pmap-c)#queue-limit cos 1 percent 60

Usage Guidelines

Valid RSPAN VLAN IDs are 2 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094. The RSPAN VLAN cannot be VLAN 1 (the default VLAN) or VLAN IDs 1002 to 1005 (reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs).

Before you configure the RSPAN remote-span command, use the vlan global configuration command to create the VLAN.

To change a VLAN from a user network interface-enhanced network interface (UNI-ENI) isolated VLAN (the default) to an RSPAN VLAN, enter the rspan-vlan VLAN configuration command.

To change a UNI-ENI community VLAN to an RSPAN VLAN, you must first remove the community VLAN type by entering the no uni-vlan VLAN configuration command.

The RSPAN VLAN has these characteristics:

No MAC address learning occurs on it.

RSPAN VLAN traffic flows only on trunk ports.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can run in the RSPAN VLAN, but it does not run on RSPAN destination ports. On the Cisco ME switch only network node interfaces (NNIs) or enhanced network interfaces (ENIs) on which STP has been enabled participate in STP.

You must manually also configure both source, destination, and intermediate switches (those in the RSPAN VLAN between the source switch and the destination switch) with the RSPAN VLAN ID.

When an existing VLAN is configured as an RSPAN VLAN, the VLAN is first deleted and then recreated as an RSPAN VLAN. Any access ports become inactive until the RSPAN feature is disabled.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN.

Switch(config)# vlan 901
Switch(config-vlan)# remote-span
 
   

This example shows how to remove the RSPAN feature from a VLAN.

Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

If the VLAN does not already exist, this command does not create the VLAN.

To avoid the delay introduced by relaying messages in software for link-failure or VLAN-blocking notification during load balancing, REP floods packets at the hardware flood layer (HFL) to a regular multicast address. These messages are flooded to the whole network, not just the REP segment. Switches that do not belong to the segment treat them as data traffic. Configuring an administrative VLAN for the whole domain can control flooding of these messages.

If no REP administrative VLAN is configured, the default is VLAN 1.

There can be only one administrative VLAN on a switch and on a segment.

The administrative VLAN cannot be the RSPAN VLAN.

Examples

This example shows how to configure VLAN 100 as the REP administrative VLAN:

Switch (config)# rep admin vlan 100 
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show interface rep detail privileged EXEC command.

rep block port

Use the rep block port interface configuration command on the REP primary edge port to configure Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) VLAN load balancing. Use the no form of this command to return to the default configuration.

rep block port {id port-id | neighbor_offset | preferred} vlan {vlan-list | all}

no rep block port {id port-id | neighbor_offset | preferred}

Syntax Description

id port-id

Identify the VLAN blocking alternate port by entering the unique port ID that is automatically generated when REP is enabled. The REP port ID is a 16-character hexadecimal value. You can view the port ID for an interface by entering the show interface interface-id rep detail command.

neighbor_offset

Identify the VLAN blocking alternate port by entering the offset number of a neighbor. The range is -256 to +256; a value of 0 is invalid. The primary edge port has an offset number of 1; positive numbers above 1 identify downstream neighbors of the primary edge port. Negative numbers identify the secondary edge port (offset number -1) and its downstream neighbors.

preferred

Identify the VLAN blocking alternate port as the segment port on which you entered the rep segment segment-id preferred interface configuration command.

Note Entering the preferred keyword does not ensure that the preferred port is the alternate port; it gives it preference over other similar ports.

vlan

Identify the VLANs to be blocked.

vlan-list

Enter a VLAN ID from 1 to 4094 or a range or sequence of VLANs (such as 1-3, 22, 41-44) of VLANs to be blocked.

all

Enter to block all VLANs.


Defaults

The default behavior after you enter the rep preempt segment privileged EXEC command (for manual preemption) is to block all VLANs at the primary edge port. This behavior remains until you configure the rep block port command.

If the primary edge port cannot determine which port is to be the alternate port, the default action is no preemption and no VLAN load balancing.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You must enter this command on the REP primary edge port.

When you select an alternate port by entering an offset number, this number identifies the downstream neighbor port of an edge port. The primary edge port has an offset number of 1; positive numbers above 1 identify downstream neighbors of the primary edge port. Negative numbers identify the secondary edge port (offset number -1) and its downstream neighbors. See Neighbor Offset Numbers in a REP SegmentFigure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Neighbor Offset Numbers in a REP Segment


Note You would never enter an offset value of 1 because that is the offset number of the primary edge port itself.


If you have configured a preempt delay time by entering the rep preempt delay seconds interface configuration command and a link failure and recovery occurs, VLAN load balancing begins after the configured preemption time period elapses without another link failure. The alternate port specified in the load-balancing configuration blocks the configured VLANs and unblocks all other segment ports. If the primary edge port cannot determine the alternate port for VLAN balancing, the default action is no preemption.

Each port in a segment has a unique port ID. The port ID format is similar to the one used by the spanning tree algorithm: a port number (unique on the bridge) associated to a MAC address (unique in the network). To determine the port ID of a port, enter the show interface interface-id rep detail privileged EXEC command.

There is no limit to the number of times that you can enter the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command. You can block an unlimited number, range, or sequence of VLANs.

When you use the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command on a REP primary edge port to block a VLAN list and then use the same command to block another VLAN list on the same port, the second VLAN list does not replace the first VLAN list but is appended to the first VLAN list.

When you use the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command on a REP primary edge port to block a VLAN list on one port and then use the same command to block another VLAN list on another port, the original port number and VLAN list are overwritten.

Examples

This example shows how to configure REP VLAN load balancing on the Switch B primary edge port (Gigabit Ethernet port 0/1) and to configure Gigabit Ethernet port 0/2 of Switch A as the alternate port to block VLANs 1 to 100. The alternate port is identified by its port ID, shown in bold in the output of the show interface rep detail command for the Switch A port.

Command
Description

rep preempt delay

Configures a waiting period after a segment port failure and recovery before REP VLAN load balancing is triggered.

Manually starts REP VLAN load balancing on a segment.

show interfaces rep detail

Displays REP detailed configuration and status for all interfaces or the specified interface, including the administrative VLAN.


rep lsl-age-timer

Use the rep lsl-age-timer interface configuration command on a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) port to configure the Link Status Layer (LSL) age timer for the time period that the REP interface remains up without receiving a hello from the REP neighbor. Use the no form of this command to return to the default time.

rep lsl-age timer value

no rep lsl-age timer

Syntax Description

value

The age-out time in milliseconds. The range is from 120 to 10000 ms in 40-ms increments. The default is 5000 ms (5 seconds).


Defaults

The REP link shuts down if it does not receive a hello message from a neighbor for 5000 ms.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(50)SE

This command was introduced.

12.2(52)SE

The age-out timer interval range changed to 120 to 10000 ms in 40-ms increments.


Usage Guidelines

The LSL hello timer is set to the age-timer value divided by 3 so that there should be at least two LSL hellos sent during the LSL age timer period. If no hellos are received within that time, the REP link shuts down.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE, the LSL age-timer range changed from 3000 to 10000 ms in 500-ms increments to 120 to 10000 ms in 40-ms increments. If the REP neighbor device is not running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE or later, you must use the shorter time range because the device does not accept values out of the earlier range.

EtherChannel port channel interfaces do not support LSL age-timer values less than 1000 ms. If you try to configure a value less than 1000 ms on a port channel, you receive an error message and the command is rejected.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the REP LSL age timer on a REP link to 7000 ms:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# rep lsl-age-timer 7000
Switch (config-if)# exit
 
   

You can verify the configured ageout time by entering the show interfaces rep detail privileged EXEC command.

rep preempt delay

Use the rep preempt delay interface configuration command on the REP primary edge port to configure a waiting period after a segment port failure and recovery before Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) VLAN load balancing is triggered. Use the no form of this command to remove the configured delay.

rep preempt delay seconds

no rep preempt delay

Syntax Description

seconds

Set the number of seconds to delay REP preemption. The range is 15 to 300.


Defaults

No preemption delay is set. If you do not enter the rep preempt delay command, the default is manual preemption with no delay.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

You must enter this command on the REP primary edge port.

You must enter this command and configure a preempt time delay if you want VLAN load balancing to automatically trigger after a link failure and recovery.

If VLAN load balancing is configured, after a segment port failure and recovery, the REP primary edge port starts a delay timer before VLAN load balancing occurs. Note that the timer restarts after each link failure. When the timer expires, the REP primary edge alerts the alternate port to perform VLAN load balancing (configured by using the rep block port interface configuration command) and prepares the segment for the new topology. The configured VLAN list is blocked at the alternate port, and all other VLANs are blocked at the primary edge port.

Examples

This example shows how to configure a REP preemption time delay of 100 seconds on the primary edge port:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch (config-if)# rep preempt delay 100
Switch (config-if)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep privileged EXEC command.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

When you enter the rep preempt segment segment-id command, a confirmation message appears before the command is executed because preemption can cause network disruption.

Enter this command on the switch on the segment that has the primary edge port.

If you do not configure VLAN load balancing, entering this command results in the default behavior—the primary edge port blocks all VLANs.

You configure VLAN load balancing by entering the rep block port {id port-id | neighbor_offset | preferred} vlan {vlan-list | all} interface configuration command on the REP primary edge port before you manually start preemption.

There is not a no version of this command.

Examples

This example shows how to manually trigger REP preemption on segment 100 with the confirmation message:

Switch)# rep preempt segment 100
The command will cause a momentary traffic disruption.
Do you still want to continue? [confirm]

rep segment

Use the rep segment interface configuration command to enable Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) on the interface and to assign a segment ID to it. Use the no form of this command to disable REP on the interface.

rep segment segment-id [edge [no-neighbor] [primary]] [preferred]

no rep segment

Syntax Description

segment-id

Assign a segment ID to the interface. The range is from 1 to 1024.

edge

(Optional) Identify the interface as one of the two REP edge ports. Entering the edge keyword without the primary keyword configures the port as the secondary edge port.

no-neighbor

(Optional) Configure a segment edge with no external REP neighbor.

primary

(Optional) On an edge port, specify that the port is the primary edge port. A segment has only one primary edge port. If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port, for example ports on different switches, the REP selects one of them to serve as the segment primary edge port.

preferred

(Optional) Specify that the port is the preferred alternate port or the preferred port for VLAN load balancing.

Note Configuring a port as preferred does not guarantee that it becomes the alternate port; it merely gives it a slight edge among equal contenders. The alternate port is usually a previously failed port.


Defaults

REP is disabled on the interface.

When REP is enabled on an interface, the default is for the port to be a regular segment port.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(44)EY

12.2(50)SE

The no-neighbor keyword was added.


Usage Guidelines

REP ports must be Layer 2 trunk ports.

A non-ES REP port can be either an IEEE 802.1Q trunk port or an ISL trunk port.

REP ports should not be configured as one of these port types:

SPAN destination port

Private VLAN port

Tunnel port

Access port

REP ports must be network node interfaces (NNIs). REP ports cannot be user-network interfaces (UNIs) or enhanced network interfaces (ENIs).

You must configure two edge ports on each REP segment, a primary edge port and a port to act as a secondary edge port. If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port, for example ports on different switches, the configuration is allowed, but the REP selects one of them to serve as the segment primary edge port.

REP ports follow these rules:

There is no limit to the number of REP ports on a switch; however, only two ports on a switch can belong to the same REP segment.

If only one port on a switch is configured in a segment, the port should be an edge port.

If two ports on a switch belong to the same segment, they must be both edge ports, both regular segment ports, or one regular port and one edge no-neighbor port. An edge port and regular segment port on a switch cannot belong to the same segment.

If two ports on a switch belong to the same segment and one is configured as an edge port and one as a regular segment port (a misconfiguration), the edge port is treated as a regular segment port.

If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port, for example ports on different switches, the REP selects one of them to serve as the segment primary edge port. Enter the show rep topology privileged EXEC command on a port in the segment to verify which port is the segment primary edge port.

REP interfaces come up in a blocked state and remain in a blocked state until notified that it is safe to unblock. You need to be aware of this to avoid sudden connection losses.

You should configure REP only in networks with redundancy. Configuring REP in a network without redundancy causes loss of connectivity.

In networks where ports on a neighboring switch do not support REP, you can configure the non-REP facing ports as edge no-neighbor ports. These ports inherit all properties of edge ports and you can configure them as any other edge port, including to send STP or REP topology change notices to the aggregation switch. In this case, the STP topology change notice (TCN) that is sent is a multiple spanning-tree (MST) STP message.

Examples

This example shows how to enable REP on a regular (nonedge) segment port:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch (config-if)# rep segment 100 
 
   

This example shows how to enable REP on a port and to identify the port as the REP primary edge port:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# rep segment 100 edge primary 
 
   

This example shows how to configure the same configuration when the interface has no external REP neighbor:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch (conf)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch (conf-if)# rep segment 100 edge no-neighbor primary 
 
   

This example shows how to enable REP on a port and to identify the port as the REP secondary edge port:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# rep segment 100 edge 
 
   
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep privileged EXEC command. To verify which port in the segment is the primary edge port, enter the show rep topology privileged EXEC command.

rep stcn

Use the rep stcn interface configuration command on a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) edge port to configure the port to send REP segment topology change notifications (STCNs) to another interface, to other segments, or to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) networks. Use the no form of this command to disable the sending of STCNs to the interface, segment, or STP network.

rep stcn {interface interface-id | segment id-list | stp}

no rep stcn {interface | segment | stp}

Syntax Description

interface interface-id

Identify a physical interface or port channel to receive STCNs.

segment id-list

Identify one REP segment or list of segments to receive STCNs. The range is 1 to 1024. You can also configure a sequence of segments (for example 3-5, 77, 100).

stp

Send STCNs to an STP network.


Defaults

Transmission of STCNs to other interfaces, segments, or STP networks is disabled.

Command Modes

Usage Guidelines

Enter this command on a segment edge port.

You use this command to notify other portions of the Layer 2 network of topology changes that occur in the local REP segment. This removes obsolete entries in the Layer 2 forwarding table in other parts of the network, which allows faster network convergence.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the REP primary edge port to send STCNs to segments 25 to 50:

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# rep stcn segment 25-50
Switch (config-if)# exit
 
   

You can verify your settings by entering the show interfaces rep detail privileged EXEC command.
