Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

Management Sessions

You can manage the switch locally or remotely. Local management is

conducted through the Console port on the switch. Remote management

is possible with a variety of management tools from workstations on your

network.

Local

Management

The switch has a Console port for local management of the unit. Local

management sessions, which must be performed at the unit, hence the

name “local,” are commonly referred to as out-of-band management

because they are not conducted over your network.

The requirements for local management sessions are a terminal or a PC

with a terminal emulator program and the RS-232 console management

cable that comes with the switch. For modern PCs without a serial port, a

USB-to-serial adapter and driver software is required.

Note

The initial management session of the switch must be from a local

management session.

Remote

Management

You can manage the switch remotely with the following software tools:

Telnet client

Secure Shell client

Secure (HTTPS) or non-secure (HTTP) web browser

SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 application

Management sessions performed with these tools are referred to as in-

band management because the sessions are conducted over your

network. Remote management sessions are generally more convenient

than local management session because they can be performed from any

workstation that has one of these software tools.

Table 1. Remote Software Tool Settings

Software Tool Default Setting

Telnet Enabled

Secure Shell Server Disabled

HTTPS Disabled

HTTP Enabled (This tool is disabled by

a factory reset of the switch.)

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

To support remote management, the switch must have a management IP

address. For instructions on how to assign a management IP address to

the switch, refer to “Adding a Management IP Address” on page 80.

Remote Telnet Management

The switch has a Telnet server that you can use to remotely manage the

unit from Telnet clients on your management workstations. Remote Telnet

sessions give you access to the same commands and the same

management functions as local management sessions.

Note

Telnet remote management sessions are conducted in clear text,

leaving them vulnerable to snooping. If an intruder captures the

packet with your login name and password, the security of the switch

will be compromised. For secure remote management, Allied Telesis

recommends Secure Shell (SSH) or secure web browser (HTTPS).

Remote Secure Shell Management

The switch has an SSH server for remote management with an SSH client

on a management workstation. This management method is similar to

Telnet management sessions in that it gives you access to the same

command line interface and the same functions. But where they differ is

SSH management sessions are secure against snooping because the

packets are encrypted, rendering them unintelligible to intruders who might

capture them.

For instructions on how to configure the switch for SSH management, refer

to Chapter 88, “Secure Shell (SSH) Server” on page 1395.

Web Browser Windows

The switch comes with a web browser server so that you can manage the

unit using a web browser on a management workstation. The switch

supports both encrypted (HTTPS) and non-encrypted (HTTP) web

browser management sessions.

Simple Network Management Protocol

The switch supports remote SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3

management. This form of management requires an SNMP application,

such as AT-View, and an understanding of management information base

(MIB) objects.

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

The switch supports the following MIBs for SNMP management:

atistackinfo.mib

atiEdgeSwtich.mib

RFC 1155 MIB

RFC 1213 MIB-II

RFC 1493 Bridge MIB

RFC 1643 Ethernet MIB

RFC 2096 IP Forwarding Table MIB

RFC 2790 Host MIB

RFC 2863 Interface Group MIB

RFC 3176 sFlow MIB

IEEE 802.1x 2010 MIB

The Allied Telesis managed switch MIBs (atistackinfo.mib and

atiEdgeSwitch.mib) are available from the Allied Telesis web site.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

Management Interfaces

The switch has two management interfaces:

AlliedWare Plus command line

Web browser windows

The AlliedWare Plus command line is available from local management

sessions, and remote Telnet and Secure Shell management sessions. The

web browser windows are available from remote web browser

management sessions.

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

Local Manager Account

You must log on to manage the switch. This requires a valid user name

and password. The switch comes with one local manager account. The

user name of the account is “manager” and the default password is

“friend.” The user name and password are case sensitive. This account

gives you access to all management modes and commands.

The default manager account is referred to as “local” because the switch

authenticates the user name and password itself. If more manager

accounts are needed, you can add up to eight more local manager

accounts. For instructions, refer to Chapter 82, “Local Manager Accounts”

on page 1355.

Another way to create more manager accounts is to transfer the task of

authenticating the accounts to a RADIUS or TACACS+ server on your

network. For instructions, refer to Chapter 94, “RADIUS and TACACS+

Clients” on page 1457.

The initial and default switch configuration supports up to three

management sessions at one time. The number of sessions can be

configured using the SERVICE MAXMANAGER command. The maximum

number of sessions is 3. See “SERVICE MAXMANAGER” on page 162.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

AlliedWare Plus Command Modes

The AlliedWare Plus command line interface consists of a series of modes

that are arranged in the hierarchy shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Command Modes

The modes have different commands and support different management

functions. The only exceptions are the User Exec mode and the Privileged

Exec mode. The Privileged Exec mode contains all the same commands

as the User Exec mode, plus many more.

To perform a management function, you first have to move to the mode

that has the appropriate commands. For instance, to configure the speeds

and wiring configurations of the ports, you have to move to the Port

Interface mode because the SPEED and POLARITY commands, which

are used to configure the speed and wiring parameters, are stored in that

mode.

Some management functions require that you perform commands from

more than one mode. For instance, creating a new VLAN requires that you

first go to the VLAN Configuration mode to initially create it and then to the

Port Interface mode to designate the ports.

The modes, their command line prompts, and their functions are listed in

Table 2 on page 58.

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

Note

By default, the mode prompts are prefixed with the “awplus” string.

To change this string, use the HOSTNAME command. See “What to

Configure First” on page 78.

Moving Down the Hierarchy

To move down the mode hierarchy, you have to step through each mode

in sequence. Skipping modes is not permitted.

Each mode has a different command. For instance, to move from the User

Exec mode to the Privileged Exec mode, you use the ENABLE command.

Some commands, like the INTERFACE PORT command, which is used to

enter the Port Interface mode, require a value, such as a port number, a

VLAN ID or a port trunk ID.

Moving Up the Hierarchy

There are four commands for moving up the mode hierarchy. They are the

EXIT, QUIT, END and DISABLE commands.

EXIT and QUIT

Commands

These commands, which are functionally identical, are found in nearly all

the modes. They move you up one level in the hierarchy, as illustrated in

Figure 18.

Figure 18. Moving Up One Mode with the EXIT and QUIT Command

END Command After you have configured a feature, you may want to return to the

Privileged Exec mode to verify your changes with the appropriate SHOW

command. You can step back through the modes one at a time with the

EXIT or QUIT command. However, the END command is more convenient

because it moves you directly to the Privileged Exec mode from any mode

below the Global Configuration mode.

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

Figure 19. Returning to the Privileged Exec Mode with the END Command

DISABLE

Command

To return to the User Exec mode from the Privileged Exec mode, use the

DISABLE command.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

Port Numbers in Commands

The ports on the switch are identified in the commands with the PORT

parameter. The parameter has the format shown in Figure 21.

Figure 21. PORT Parameter in the Command Line Interface

The variables in the parameter are defined here:

Switch ID: This number is used if the switch supports stacking. It is the

switch’s ID number in a stack. This number should always be 1 for

AT-FS970M Series switches because they do not support stacking.

Module Slot ID: This number is used for modular switches that have

slots for networking modules. It is used to identify the networking

modules by their slot numbers. This number should always be 0 for

AT-FS970M Series switches because they are not modular switches.

Port number: This is a port number.

Note

The correct format of the PORT parameter for AT-FS970M Series

switches is PORT1.0.n.

Here are a few examples of the PORT parameter. This example uses the

INTERFACE PORT command to enter the Port Interface mode for ports

12 and 18:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12,port1.0.18

awplus(config-if)#

You can also specify port ranges. This example displays the port settings

for ports 21 to 23:

awplus# show interface port1.0.21-port1.0.23

Note that you must include the prefix “port1.0.” in the last number of a

range.

Chapter 1: AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface

You can also combine individual ports and port ranges in the same

command, as illustrated in these commands, which enter the Port

Interface mode for ports 5 to 11 and ports 16 and 18:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5-port1.0.11,port1.0.16,

port1.0.18

awplus(config-if)#

Command Format

The following sections describe the command line interface features and

the command syntax conventions.

Command Line

Interface

Features

The command line interface has these features:

Command history - Use the up and down arrow keys.

Keyword abbreviations - Any keyword can be recognized by typing

an unambiguous prefix, for example, type “sh” and the software

responds with “show.”

Tab key - Pressing the Tab key fills in the rest of a keyword

automatically. For example, typing “sh” and then pressing the Tab

key enters “show” on the command line.

Command

Formatting

Conventions

This manual uses the following command format conventions:

screen text font - This font illustrates the format of a command

and command examples.

[ ] - Brackets indicate optional parameters.

| - Vertical line separates parameter options for you to choose

from.

Italics - Italics indicate variables you have to provide.

Command

Examples

Most of the command examples in this guide start at the User Exec mode

and include the navigational commands. Here is an example that creates a

new VLAN called Engineering with the VID 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 5 name Engineering

You do not have to return to the User Exec mode when you finish a

management task. But it is a good idea to return to the Privileged Exec

mode to confirm your changes with the appropriate SHOW command,

before performing a new task.

Starting a Management Session

This chapter has the following sections:

“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 74

“Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session” on page 76

“What to Configure First” on page 78

“Ending a Management Session” on page 83

Note

You must do the initial configuration of the switch from a local

management session.

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

Starting a Local Management Session

To start a local management session on the switch, perform the following

procedure:

1. Connect the management cable that comes with the switch to the

Console port with the RJ-45 connector, as shown in Figure 25.

The Console port is located on the front panel of the AT-FS970M switch.

Figure 25. Connecting the Management Cable to the Console Port

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or

PC with a terminal emulator program.

3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:

Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Console Port is

adjustable from 1200 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Note

The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an

equivalent terminal emulator program.

4. Press Enter.

You are prompted for a user name and password.

5. Enter a user name and password. If this is the initial management

session of the switch, enter “manager” as the user name “friend” as

the password. The user name and password are case sensitive.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

The local management session has started when the AlliedWare Plus

command line prompt, shown in Figure 26 is displayed.

Figure 26. AlliedWare Plus Command Line Prompt

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session

Here are the requirements for remote management of the switch from a

Telnet or SSH client on your network:

You must assign the switch a management IP address. To initially

assign the switch an address, use a local management session.

For instructions, refer to “What to Configure First” on page 78 or

Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The workstation that has the Telnet or SSH client must be a

member of the same subnet as the management IP address on the

switch, or must have access to it through routers or other Layer 3

devices.

If the workstation with the Telnet or SSH client is not a member of

the same subnet as the management IP address, you must also

assign the switch a default gateway. This IP address needs to

specify an interface on a router or other Layer 3 routing device that

is the first hop to the subnet where the client resides. The default

gateway must be a member of the same subnet as the

management IP address. For instructions, refer to “What to

Configure First” on page 78 or Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6

Management Addresses” on page 293.

For remote SSH management, you must create an encryption key

pair and configure the SSH server on the switch. For instructions,

see Chapter 88, “Secure Shell (SSH) Server” on page 1395. The

factory configuration includes a default random key. When you

initially connect to the switch, most SSH clients will flag the new

key and ask you to accept it.

To start a remote Telnet or SSH management session, perform the

following procedure:

1. In the Telnet or SSH client on your remote management workstation,

enter the management IP address of the switch.

Prompts are displayed for a user name and password.

2. Enter a user name and password of a management account on the

switch. The switch comes with one management account. The user

name is “manager” and the password is “friend“. User names and

passwords are case sensitive.

The management session starts and the command line interface

prompt is displayed, as shown in Figure 26 on page 75.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

VTY Lines The switch has ten VTY (virtual teletypewriter) lines. Each line supports

one remote Telnet or SSH management session. The switch allocates the

lines, which are numbered 0 to 9, in ascending order, beginning with line 0,

as remote sessions are initiated.

The VTY lines cannot be reserved for particular remote workstations

because the switch allocates them as needed. Line 0 is assigned by the

switch to a new remote session if there are no other active remote

sessions. Or, if there is already one active management session, a new

session is assigned line 1, and so on.

You can adjust these three parameters on the individual lines:

Management session timer - This timer is used by the switch to

end inactive management sessions, automatically. This protects

the switch from unauthorized changes to its configuration sessions

should you leave your workstation unattended during a

management session. For instructions on how to set this timer,

refer to “Configuring the Management Session Timers” on

page 132.

Number of SHOW command scroll lines - You can specify the

number of lines that SHOW commands display at one time on your

screen. Refer to “LENGTH” on page 104 to set this parameter.

Remote authentication of management accounts - You can toggle

on or off remote authentication of management accounts on the

individual VTY lines. Lines use local authentication when remote

authentication is turned off. For background information, refer to

Chapter 94, “RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients” on page 1457.

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

What to Configure First

Here are a few suggestions on what to configure during your initial

management session of the switch. The initial management session must

be a local management session from the Console port on the switch. For

instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting

a Local Management Session” on page 74.

Creating a Boot

Configuration

File

The first thing you should do is create a boot configuration file in the

switch’s file system and mark it as the active boot configuration file. This

file is used by the switch to store your configuration changes. It should be

noted that a boot configuration file contains only those parameter settings

that have been changed from their default values on the unit. So,

assuming the switch is just out of its shipping container, the file, when you

create it, contains about 20 lines.

The quickest and easiest way to create a new boot configuration file and

to designate it as the active file is with the BOOT CONFIG-FILE

command, located in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of

the command:

boot config-file

filename

.cfg

The name of the new boot configuration file, which is specified with the

FILENAME parameter, can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not

including the extension “.cfg.” The filename cannot contain spaces and the

extension must be “.cfg.”

Here is an example that creates a new boot configuration file called

“switch1.cfg:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file switch1.cfg

When you see the message “Operation successful,” the switch has

created the file and marked it as the active boot configuration file. To

confirm the creation of the file, return to the Global Configuration mode

and enter the SHOW BOOT command:

awplus(config)# exit

awplus# show boot

Figure 27 on page 79 is an example of the display.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

Figure 27. SHOW BOOT Command

The name of your new active boot configuration file is displayed in the

“Current boot config” field.

Changing the

To protect the switch from unauthorized access, you should change the

password of the manager account. The password is set with the

USERNAME command in the Global Configuration. Here is the format of

the command.

username

password

Both the user name and the password are case sensitive. The password

can consist of 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters including punctuation and

printable special characters. Spaces are not permitted.

This example of the command changes the password of the manager

account to “clearsky2a:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# username manager password clearsky2a

Note

Write down the new password and keep it in a safe and secure

location. If you forget the manager password, you cannot manage

the switch if there are no other management accounts on the unit. In

this case, contact Allied Telesis Technical Support for assistance.

For instructions on how to create additional management accounts, refer

to Chapter 82, “Local Manager Accounts” on page 1355.

Assigning a Name

to the Switch

The switch will be easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s

name is displayed in the screen banner when you log on and replaces the

“awplus” in the command line prompt.

A name is assigned to the switch with the HOSTNAME command in the

Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:

hostname

name

A name can consist of up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Spaces,

punctuation, special characters, and quotation marks are not permitted.

Current software: v2.2.1.1

Current boot image: v2.2.1.1

Default boot config: boot.cfg

Current boot config: switch1.cfg (file exists)

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

This example assigns the name “Engineering_sw2” to the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# hostname Engineering_sw2

Engineering_sw2(config)#

Adding a

Management IP

Address

You must assign the switch a management IP address to use the features

in Table 27 on page 294. Here are the requirements:

You can assign multiple IPv4 addresses to VLANs on the switch,

including the Default_VLAN. Then you can use any of these IPv4

addresses to manage the switch.

You can assign only one IPv6 address to a VLAN on the switch.

Then you must use this IPv6 address to manage the switch.

A management IP address must be assigned to a VLAN on the

switch. It can be any VLAN, including the Default_VLAN. For

background information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 58, “Port-

based and Tagged VLANs” on page 879.

The network devices (that is, syslog servers, TFTP servers, etc.)

must be members of the same subnet as a management IP

address or have access to it through the default gateway.

The switch must also have a default gateway if the network

devices are not members of the same subnet as the management

IP address. The default gateway specifies the IP address of a

router interface that represents the first hop to the subnets or

networks of the network devices.

A default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the

same subnet as a management IP address.

The switch can have one IPv4 default gateway and one IPv6

gateway.

Note

The following examples illustrate how to assign a management IPv4

address to the switch. For instructions on how to assign an IPv6

address, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management

Addresses” on page 293.

The IP ADDRESS command in the VLAN Interface mode command adds

a management IPv4 address to the switch. This example of the command

assigns the management IPv4 address 149.82.112.72 and a subnet mask

of 255.255.255.0 to the Default_VLAN, which has the VID 1. The switch is

also assigned the default gateway 149.82.112.18:

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

This example assigns the management IPv4 address to a new VLAN

called Tech_Support, with the VID 5. The VLAN will consist of the

untagged ports 5,6, and 23. The management IPv4 address and default

route of the switch will be assigned by a DHCP server on the network:

Table 3. Adding a Management Address: Example 1

awplus> enable Move to the Privileged Exec mode.

awplus# configure terminal Move to the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# interface vlan1 Use the INTERFACE VLAN command to

move to the VLAN Interface mode of the

Default_VLAN.

awplus(config-if)# ip address

149.82.112.72/24

Assign the management IPv4 address to

the switch using the IP ADDRESS

command. The mask is a decimal number

that represents the number of bits, from

left to right, that constitute the network

portion of the address. For example, the

decimal masks 16 and 24 are equivalent

to masks 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0,

respectively.

awplus(config-if)# exit Return to the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0

149.82.112.18

Assign the default gateway to the switch

using the IP ROUTE command.

awplus(config)# exit Return to the Privileged Exec mode.

awplus# show ip route Verify the new management IPv4 address

and default gateway with the SHOW IP

ROUTE command.

Table 4. Adding a Management IP Address: Example 2

awplus(config)# vlan database Enter the VLAN Configuration mode.

awplus(config-if)# vlan 5 name Tech_Support Create the new VLAN with the VLAN

command.

awplus(config-if)# exit Return to the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5,

port1.0.6,port1.0.23

Enter the Port Interface mode for ports 5,

6, and 23.

Chapter 2: Starting a Management Session

Saving Your

Changes

To permanently save your changes in the active boot configuration file,

use the WRITE command in the Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# write

You can also update the active configuration file with the COPY

RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG command, also located in the

Global Configuration mode. It is just more to type.

awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5 Add the ports as untagged ports to the

VLAN with the SWITCHPORT ACCESS

VLAN command.

awplus(config-if)# exit Return to the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# interface vlan5 Use the INTERFACE VLAN command to

move to the VLAN Interface mode of

VLAN 5.

awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp Activate the DHCP client on the switch

with the IP ADDRESS DHCP command.

awplus(config-if)# end Return to the Global Configuration mode.

awplus# show ip interface Verify the management IP address on the

switch.

awplus# show ip route Verify the new management IPv4 address

and default gateway.

Displaying the On-line Help

The command line interface has an on-line help system to assist you with

the commands. The help system is displayed by typing a question mark.

Typing a question mark at a command line prompt displays all the

keywords in the current mode. This example displays all the keywords in

the VLAN Configuration mode.

Figure 28. Displaying the Keywords of a Mode

Typing a question mark after a keyword displays any additional keywords

or parameters. This example displays the available parameters for the

FLOWCONTROL command in the Port Interface mode.

Figure 29. Displaying Subsequent Keywords of a Keyword

Note

You must type a space between the keyword and the question mark.

Otherwise, the on-line help system simply displays the previous

keyword.

Typing a question mark at the point in a command where a value is

required displays a value’s class (that is, integer, string, etc.). The example

in Figure 30 on page 88 displays the class of the value for the

HOSTNAME command in the Global Configuration mode.

Saving Your Configuration Changes

To permanently save your changes to the parameter settings on the

switch, you must update the active boot configuration file. This is

accomplished with either the WRITE command or the COPY RUNNING-

CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG command, both of which are found in the

Privileged Exec mode. When you enter either of these commands, the

switch copies its running configuration into the active boot configuration

file for permanent storage.

To update the active configuration file, enter:

awplus# write

awplus# copy running-config startup-config

Note

Parameter changes that are not saved in the active boot

configuration file are discarded when the switch is powered off or

reset.

122

Adding a Name to the Switch

The switch will be easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch

displays its name in the command line prompt, in place of the default

prefix “awplus.”

To assign the switch a name, use the HOSTNAME command in the Global

Configuration mode. A name can consist of up to 39 alphanumeric

characters. Spaces, punctuation, special characters, and quotation marks

are not permitted.

This example assigns the name Switch12 to the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# hostname Switch12

Switch12(config)#

To remove the current name without assigning a new name, use the NO

HOSTNAME command:

Unit2b_bld4> enable

Unit2b_bld4# configure terminal

Unit2b_bld4(config)# no hostname

awplus(config)#

For reference information, refer to “HOSTNAME” on page 153 and “NO

HOSTNAME” on page 156.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

123

Adding Contact and Location Information

The commands for assigning the switch contact and location information

are the SNMP-SERVER CONTACT and SNMP-SERVER LOCATION

commands, both of which are found in the Global Configuration mode.

Here are the formats of the commands:

snmp-server contact

contact

snmp-server location

location

The variables can be from 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters in length.

Spaces and special characters are allowed.

To view the information, use the SHOW SYSTEM command in the User

Exec and Privileged Exec modes.

Here is an example that assigns the switch this contact and location

information:

Contact: JordanB

Location: 123_Westside_Dr_room_45

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server contact JordanB

awplus(config)# snmp-server location 123_Westside_Dr_room_45

To remove the contact or location information without adding new

information, use the NO form of the commands. This example removes the

location information:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no snmp-server location

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

124

Displaying Parameter Settings

To display the current parameter settings on the switch, use the SHOW

RUNNING-CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode. The settings,

which are displayed in their equivalent command line commands, are

limited to just those parameters that have been changed from their default

values. The information includes new settings that have yet to be saved in

the active boot configuration file. Here is the command:

awplus# show running-config

For reference information, refer to “SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on

page 166.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

125

Manually Setting the Date and Time

To manually set the date and time on the switch, use the CLOCK SET

command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is the format of the

command:

clock set

hh:mm:ss dd mmm yyyy

Here are the variables:

hh:mm:ss: Use this variable to specify the hour, minute, and second

for the switch’s time in 24-hour format.

dd: Use this variable to specify the day of the month.

mmm: Use this variable to specify the month. The month is

specified by its first three letters. For example, June is Jun. The

first letter must be uppercase and the second and third letters

lowercase.

yyyy: Use this variable to specify the year. The year must be

specified in four digits (for example, 2011 or 2012).

The command has to include both the date and time. This example sets

the time to 4:11 pm and the date to January 4, 2011:

awplus> enable

awplus# clock set 16:11:0 4 Jan 2011

To display the date and time, use the SHOW CLOCK command in the

User Exec or Privileged Exec mode.

awplus# show clock

For reference information, refer to “CLOCK SET” on page 148 and

“SHOW CLOCK” on page 165.

Note

The date and time, when set manually, are not retained by the

switch when it is reset or power cycled.

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

126

Pinging Network Devices

If the switch is unable to communicate with a network device, such as a

syslog server or a TFTP server, you can test for an active link between the

two devices by instructing the switch to send ICMP Echo Requests and to

listen for replies sent back from the other device. This is accomplished

with the PING command in the Privileged Exec mode.

This command instructs the switch to send ICMP Echo Requests to a

network device known by the IP address 149.122.14.15:

awplus> enable

awplus# ping 149.122.14.15

The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.

Note

To send ICMP Echo Requests, the switch must have a management

IP address. For instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6

Management Addresses” on page 293.

Note

The switch sends the ICMP Echo Requests from the ports of the

VLAN assigned the management IP address. The device the switch

is pinging must be a member of that VLAN or must be accessible

through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

For reference information, refer to “PING” on page 157.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

127

Resetting the Switch

To reset the switch, use either the REBOOT or RELOAD command in the

Privileged Exec mode. You might reset the switch if it is experiencing a problem

or if you want to reconfigure its settings after designating a new active boot

configuration file. The commands display a confirmation prompt.

Caution

The switch will not forward network traffic while it initializes its

management software. Some network traffic may be lost. The reset can

take from thirty seconds to two minutes, depending on the number and

complexity of the commands in the active boot configuration file.

Note

Any configuration changes that have not been saved in the active boot

configuration file are discarded when you reset the switch. To save your

changes, use the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-

CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.

To reset the switch with the REBOOT command:

awplus> enable

awplus# reboot

Are you sure you want to reboot the switch? (y/n) y

To reset the switch with the RELOAD command:

awplus> enable

awplus# reload

Are you sure you want to reboot the switch? (y/n) y

To resume managing the switch, wait for the switch to initialize its management

software and then start a new management session.

For reference information, refer to “REBOOT” on page 160 and “RELOAD” on

page 161.

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

128

Restoring the Default Settings to the Switch

To restore the default settings to the switch, delete or rename the active

boot configuration file and then reset the unit. Without an active boot

configuration file, the switch will use the default parameter settings after it

initializes the management software.

Caution

Restoring the default settings requires that you reset the switch. The

unit will not forward network traffic while it initializes the

management software. Some network traffic may be lost.

There are two ways to delete the active boot configuration file. One way is

with the DELETE command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is the

format of the command:

delete

filename

.cfg

This example deletes the active boot configuration file “Sales_unit.cfg”

and resets the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# delete Sales_unit.cfg

awplus# reboot

reboot switch? (y/n): y

If you do not know the name of the active boot configuration file, you can

display it with the SHOW BOOT command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Figure 34 is an example of what is displayed:

Figure 34. SHOW BOOT Command

The active boot configuration file is identified in the “Current boot config”

field.

Current software : v1.0.0

Current boot image : v1.0.0

Default boot config: /cfg/boot.cfg

Current boot config: /cfg/switch2.cfg (file exists)

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

129

Another way to delete the file is with the ERASE STARTUP-CONFIG

command, also in the Privileged Exec mode. The advantage of this

command over the DELETE command is that you do not have to know the

name of the active boot configuration file. When you enter the command, a

confirmation prompt is displayed. If you enter “Y” for yes, the switch

automatically deletes the active boot configuration file from the file system.

Afterwards, you can reset the switch with the REBOOT command so that it

restores the default settings.

Here is the sequence of commands and messages:

awplus> enable

awplus# erase startup-config

erase start-up config? (y/n):y

Deleting..

Successful Operation

awplus# reboot

reboot switch? (y/n): y

If you prefer to keep the active boot configuration file, you can rename it

with the MOVE command in the Privileged Exec mode and then reset the

switch. Here is the format of the MOVE command:

move

filename1

.cfg

filename2

.cfg

The FILENAME1 parameter is the name of the configuration file you want

to rename. The FILENAME2 parameter is the file’s new name. The

extensions of the files must be “.cfg”. For example, if the name of the

active boot configuration file is “Sales_unit.cfg,” these commands rename

it to “Sales_unit_backup.cfg” and reset the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# move Sales_unit.cfg Sales_unit_backup.cfg

awplus# reboot

reboot switch? (y/n): y

To resume managing the switch after restoring the default settings, you

must establish a local management session from the Console port.

Remote management is not possible because the switch will not have a

management IP address.

Note

For instructions on how to create a new boot configuration file, refer

to Chapter 34, “Boot Configuration Files” on page 537.

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

130

Setting the Baud Rate of the Console Port

The Console port is used for local management of the switch. To set its

baud rate, use the BAUD-RATE SET command in the Global

Configuration mode.

Note

If you change the baud rate of the Console port during a local

management session, your session is interrupted. To resume the

session you must change the speed of the terminal or the terminal

emulator program to match the new speed of the serial terminal port

on the switch.

Here is an example to set the baud rate of the Console port on the switch

to 57600 bps:

Example 1:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config-conf)# baud-rate set 57600

awplus# config

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

awplus(config)# line console

awplus(config-line)# speed 57600

Baud rate changed to 57600 bps.

Please change your console baud rate correspondingly.

To display the current settings of the Console port, use the SHOW BAUD-

RATE command in the User Exec or Privileged Exec mode. Here is the

command:

awplus# show baud-rate

Here is an example of the information.

Figure 35. SHOW BAUD-RATE Command

Baud Rate .................... 57600

Parity ....................... None

Note

The baud rate is the only adjustable parameter on the Console port.

For reference information, refer to “BAUD-RATE SET” on page 147 and

“SHOW BAUD-RATE” on page 164.

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

132

Configuring the Management Session Timers

You should always conclude a management session by logging off so that

if you leave your workstation unattended, someone cannot use it to

change the switch’s configuration. If you forget to log off, the switch has

management session timers that detect and log off inactive local and

remote management sessions automatically. A session is deemed

inactive when there is no management activity for the duration of the

corresponding timer.

There are different timers for the different types of management sessions.

There is one timer for local management sessions, which are conducted

through the Console port, and ten timers for each supported VTY line, for

remote Telnet and SSH management sessions.

The command for setting the timers is the EXEC-TIMEOUT command.

You enter this command in different modes depending on the timer you

want to set. The timer for local management sessions is set in the Line

Console mode, which is accessed using the LINE CONSOLE 0 command

from the Global Configuration mode. This example of the commands sets

the timer for local management sessions on the switch to 5 minutes:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line console 0

awplus(config-line)# exec-timeout 5

Note

The default value the EXEC-TIMEOUT command is 10 minutes.

There are ten VTY lines for remote Telnet and SSH sessions. Each

remote management session uses one line. The switch automatically

allocates a line when a remote session is initiated. The first remote Telnet

or SSH session is allocated the VTY 0 line, the second session is

allocated the VTY 1 line, and so forth.

Each VTY line has its own management session timer. The timers are set

in the Virtual Terminal Line mode, which is accessed with the LINE VTY

command. The format of the LINE VTY command is shown here:

line vty

first_line_id last_line_id

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

133

Both the first_line_id and the last_line_id parameters have value of 0 to 9.

You can specify one VTY line or a range of VTY lines. This example sets

the management session timer to 8 minutes on VTY line 2:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line vty 2

awplus(config-line)# exec-timeout 8

This example sets the management session timer to 3 minutes for all VTY

lines:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line vty 0 9

awplus(config-line)# exec-timeout 3

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

134

Setting the Maximum Number of Manager Sessions

The switch supports up to three manager sessions simultaneously so that

more than one person can manage the unit at a time. You set the

maximum number of sessions with the SERVICE MAXMANAGER

command in the Global Configuration mode. The default is three manager

sessions.

This example sets the maximum number of manager sessions to three:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service maxmanager 3

For reference information, refer to “SERVICE MAXMANAGER” on

page 162.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

135

Configuring the Banners

The switch has banner messages you may use to identify the switch or to

display other information about the unit. The banners are listed here:

Message-of-the-day banner

Login banner

User Exec and Privileged Exec modes banner

Display login banner

Figure 36. Banner Messages

The message-of-the-day and login banners are displayed above the login

user name and password prompts of local, Telnet, and SSH management

sessions. The display banner displays the contents of the login banner.

The User Exec and Privileged Exec modes banner is displayed above the

command line prompts of these two modes, after you log on or whenever

you use the CLEAR SCREEN command to clear the screen.

Note

The banners are not displayed in web browser management

sessions.

The banner commands are:

BANNER MOTD

BANNER LOGIN

BANNER EXEC

SHOW BANNER LOGIN

Chapter 7: Basic Switch Management

136

The commands for setting the banners are located in the Global

Configuration mode with the exception of the SHOW BANNER LOGIN

command which you access in the Privileged Exec mode.

After you enter the BANNER EXEC, BANNER LOGIN, or BANNER MOTD

command, the “Type CTRL/D to finish” prompt is displayed. When you see

this message, enter the banner message. Both the BANNER MOTD and

BANNER EXEC banners may be up to 256 characters, while the BANNER

characters are allowed.

PING

Syntax

ping

ipaddress|hostname

Parameters

ipaddress

Specifies the IP address of the network device to receive the ICMP

Echo Requests from the switch. You can specify only one IP

address.

hostname

Specifies the host name of the network device to receive the ICMP

Echo Requests from the switch. You can specify only one host

name.

Modes

Privileged Exec mode

Description

Use this command to instruct the switch to send ICMP Echo Requests to a

network device with an IPv4 address. You can use the command to

determine whether there is an active link between the switch and another

network device, such as a RADIUS server or a Telnet client, or to

troubleshoot communication problems. To ping an IPv6 address, see

“PING IPv6” on page 159.

In order to specify the host name parameter, the switch needs a

connection to a name server. There are two ways to accomplish this. You

can define a Domain Name Server (DNS) in the Global Configuration

mode with the IP NAME-SERVER command. See “IP NAME-SERVER” on

page 360. Or, a the switch can obtain a name server automatically with

DHCP. See “IP ADDRESS DHCP” on page 312 for information about how

to set the switch to DHCP.

Note

To send ICMP Echo Requests the switch must be configured with a

management IP address. For background information, refer to

Chapter 8: Basic Switch Management Commands

158

Note

The switch sends the ICMP Echo Requests from the ports of the

VLAN assigned the management IP address. The device the switch

is pinging must be a member of that VLAN or must be accessible

through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

Example

This command instructs the switch to ping a network device with the IP

address 149.122.14.15:

awplus> enable

awplus# ping 149.122.14.15

The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.

PING IPv6

Syntax

ping ipv6 <

ipv6-address

> repeat <

1-99>

size <

36-18024>

Parameters

ipv6-address

Indicates the destination IPv6 address. The IPv6 address uses the

format:

nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn

Where N is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of

digits have to be separated by colons. Groups where all four digits

are ‘0’ can be omitted. Leading ‘0’s in groups can also be omitted.

For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:

12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50

12c4:421e:09a8::a4:1c50 X:X::X:X

repeat <1-99>

Specifies the number of times the ping is sent. The default is 4

times.

size <36-18024>

Indicates the packet size, in bytes, that are sent to the destination

IPv6 address. The packet size excludes the 8 byte ICMP header.

The default is 56 bytes. The range is 36 to 18,024 bytes.

Mode

User Exec and Privileged Exec modes

Description

Use this command to instruct the switch to send ICMP Echo Requests to

an IPv6 host.

Example

The following example sends 37 data bytes in an ICMP Echo Request to

IPv6 address 2001:0db8::a2 for a total of 12 times:

awplus> enable

awplus# ping ipv6 2001:0db8::a2 repeat 12 size 37

REBOOT

Syntax

reboot

Parameters

None

Mode

Privileged Exec mode

Description

Use this command to reset the switch. You might reset the unit if it is

experiencing a problem or if you want to reconfigure its settings after you

designate a new active boot configuration file.This command is identical to

“RELOAD” on page 161. The command displays a confirmation prompt.

Caution

The switch does not forward network traffic while it initializes its

management software. Some network traffic may be lost. The reset

can take from 10 seconds to two minutes, depending on the number

and complexity of the commands in the active boot configuration file.

Note

The switch discards any configuration changes that have not been

Adding Descriptions

The ports will be easier to identify if you give them descriptions. The

descriptions are viewed with the SHOW INTERFACE command in the

Privileged Exec mode.

The command for adding descriptions is the DESCRIPTION command in

the Port Interface mode. Here is the format:

description

The DESCRIPTION parameter can be up to 80 alphanumeric characters.

Spaces and special characters are allowed.

You can assign a description to more than one port at a time.

To remove the current description from a port without assigning a new

description, use the NO form of this command.

This example assigns the name “printer22” to port 15:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15

awplus(config-if)# description printer22

This example removes the current name from port 16 without assigning a

new description:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

awplus(config-if)# no description

For reference information, refer to “DESCRIPTION” on page 206.

Note

The POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION command is used to describe

powered devices that are connected to the ports. For information

about this command, see “POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION” on

page 275.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

181

Setting the Speed and Duplex Mode

The twisted pair ports on the switch can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps,

in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. You may set the speeds and

duplex modes yourself or, since the ports support Auto-Negotiation, you

may let the switch configure the ports automatically. The default setting for

the ports is Auto-Negotiation for both speed and duplex mode.

To set the speed manually on a port or to reactivate Auto-Negotiation, use

the SPEED command in the Port Interface mode. The format of the

command is:

speed auto|10|100|1000

The “10” setting is for 10Mbps, the “100” for 100Mbps and the “1000” for

1000Mbps. The “auto” activates Auto-Negotiation for port speed.

The DUPLEX command, for setting the duplex mode, has this format:

duplex auto|half|full

The “half” setting is for half-duplex mode and “full” for full-duplex mode.

The “auto” activates Auto-Negotiation for duplex mode.

You should review the following information before configuring the ports:

Auto-Negotiation may be activated separately for speed and

duplex mode on a port. For instance, you may activate Auto-

Negotiation for speed on a port, but set the duplex mode manually.

The 1000 Mbps setting in the SPEED command is for fiber optic

modules. The twisted pair ports on the switch must be set to Auto-

Negotiation to operate at 1000 Mbps.

Note

To avoid a duplex mode mismatch between switch ports and

network devices, do not use duplex mode Auto-Negotiation on ports

that are connected to network devices on which the duplex modes

are set manually. Switch ports that are set to Auto-Negotiation

default to half duplex mode if they detect that the network devices

are not using Auto-Negotiation. This may result in duplex mode

mismatches in which the switch ports use half duplex mode, and the

network devices full duplex mode. To prevent this problem, always

manually set the duplex mode on ports that are connected to

network devices that are not using Auto-Negotiation.

Chapter 9: Port Parameters

This example configures port 1 to half-duplex:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1

awplus(config-if)# duplex half

This example configures ports 2 to 4 to 10 Mbps, full-duplex:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2-port1.0.4

awplus(config-if)# speed 10

awplus(config-if)# duplex full

This example sets the speed on port 15 to Auto-Negotiation and the

duplex mode to half duplex:

awplus> enable

awplus(config-if)# speed 100

awplus(config-if)# duplex auto

For reference information, refer to “SPEED” on page 247 and “DUPLEX”

on page 208.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

183

Setting the MDI/MDI-X Wiring Configuration

The wiring configurations of twisted pair ports that operate at 10 or 100

Mbps are MDI (medium dependent interface) and MDI-X (medium

dependent interface crossover). A port on the switch and a port on a link

partner must have different settings. For instance, a switch port has to be

using the MDI wiring configuration if the port on its link partner is using the

MDIX wiring configuration.

The command for setting the wiring configuration is the POLARITY

command in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format of the command:

polarity auto|mdi|mdix

The AUTO setting activates auto-MDI/MDIX, which enables a port to

detect the wiring configuration of its link partner so that it can set its wiring

configuration to the opposite setting.

This example of the command configures ports 22 and 23 to the MDI

wiring configuration:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.22,port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# polarity mdi

This example activates auto-MDI/MDIX on ports 7 to 9:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.7-port1.0.9

awplus(config-if)# polarity auto

For reference information, refer to “POLARITY” on page 222.

Chapter 9: Port Parameters

184

Enabling or Disabling Ports

Disabling ports turns off their receivers and transmitters so that they

cannot forward traffic. You might disable unused ports on the switch to

protect them from unauthorized use, or if there is a problem with a cable or

a network device.

To disable ports, use the SHUTDOWN command in the Port Interface

mode. To enable ports again, use the NO SHUTDOWN command.

This example disables ports 1 to 4:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.4

awplus(config-if)# shutdown

This example enables ports 17 and 22:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.17,port1.0.22

awplus(config-if)# no shutdown

For reference information, refer to “SHUTDOWN” on page 245 and “NO

SHUTDOWN” on page 219.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

185

Enabling or Disabling Backpressure

Ports use backpressure during periods of packet congestion, to prevent

packet overruns. They use it to stop their link partners from sending any

further packets to enable them to process the packets already in their

buffers.

Backpressure applies to ports that are operating in half-duplex mode at 10

or 100 Mbps. A port that is experiencing packet congestion initiates

backpressure by transmitting a signal on the shared link. When the link

partner detects that its own transmission has become garbled on the link,

it ceases transmission, waits a random period of time, and, if the link is

clear, resumes transmitting.

You can enable or disable backpressure on ports where you disabled

Auto-Negotiation and set the speeds and duplex modes manually. If you

enable backpressure, the default setting, a port initiates backpressure

when it needs to prevent a buffer overrun from packet congestion. If you

disable backpressure, a port does not use backpressure. (Ports that are

set to Auto-Negotiation always use backpressure when operating in half-

duplex mode at 10 or 100 Mbps.)

Backpressure is set with the BACKPRESSURE command in the Port

Interface mode. In this example, ports 11 and 12 are manually set to 10

Mbps, half-duplex, with backpressure enabled:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11,port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# speed 10

awplus(config-if)# duplex half

awplus(config-if)# backpressure on

In this example, port 12 is manually set to 100 Mbps, half-duplex, with

backpressure disabled:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# speed 100

awplus(config-if)# duplex half

awplus(config-if)# backpressure off

For reference information, refer to “BACKPRESSURE” on page 202.

Chapter 9: Port Parameters

186

Enabling or Disabling Flow Control

When a port that is operating in full-duplex mode needs to temporarily stop

its local or remote counterpart from sending any further packets, it initiates

flow control by sending what are known as pause packets. Pause packets

instruct the link partner to stop sending packets to allow the sender of the

packets time to process the packets already stored in its buffers.

There are two aspects to flow control on the ports on the switch. The first

is whether or not a port will issue pause packets during periods of buffer

congestion. The other is whether or not a port will stop sending packets

when it receives pause packets from another network device. You can

control both of these aspects of flow control on the ports on the switch.

Flow control is set with the FLOWCONTROL RECEIVE command and the

the FLOWCONTROL SEND command. The formats of the commands

are:

flowcontrol send on|off

flowcontrol receive on|off

The FLOWCONTROL SEND command controls whether or not a port

sends pause packets during periods of packet congestion. If you set it to

ON, the port sends pause packets when it reaches the point of packet

congestion. If you set it to OFF, the port does not send pause packets. At

the default setting, the send portion of flow control is off.

The FLOWCONTROL RECEIVE command is used to control whether or

not a port stops transmitting packets when it receives pause packets from

its local or remote counterpart. If you set it to ON, a port stops transmitting

packets when it receives pause packets. If you set it to OFF, a port does

not stop transmitting packets when it receives pause packets. At the

default setting, the receive portion of flow control is off.

The commands are located in the Port Interface mode. This example

configures ports 12 and 13 to 100Mbps, full-duplex mode. The receive

portion of flow control is disabled so that the ports ignore any pause

packets that they receive from their link partners:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12,port1.0.13

awplus(config-if)# speed 100

awplus(config-if)# duplex full

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol receive off

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

187

This example configures port 21 not to send pause packets during periods

of packet congestion:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# speed 100

awplus(config-if)# duplex full

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol send off

This example enables both the receive and send portions of flow control

on port 7:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.7

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol receive on

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol send on

For reference information, refer to “FLOWCONTROL” on page 212.

To disable flow control, use the NO FLOWCONTROL command in the

Port Interface mode. This example disables flow control on ports 22 and

23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.22,port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# no flowcontrol

To view the flow control settings on ports, use the SHOW

FLOWCONTROL INTERFACE command in the Privilege Exec mode.

Here is the format of the command:

show flowcontrol interface

port

You can view just one port at a time. This example displays the flow

control settings for port 4:

awplus# show flowcontrol interface port1.0.4

Resetting Ports

If a port is experiencing a problem, you may be able to correct it with the

RESET command in the Port Interface mode. This command performs a

hardware reset. The port parameter settings are retained. The reset takes

just a second or two to complete.

This example resets ports 16 and 17:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16,port1.0.17

awplus(config-if)# reset

For reference information, refer to “RESET” on page 226.

Chapter 9: Port Parameters

190

Configuring Threshold Limits for Ingress Packets

You can set threshold limits for the ingress packets on the ports. The

threshold limits control the number of packets the ports accept each

second. Packets that exceed the limits are discarded by the ports. You

can set different limits for broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast

traffic. This feature is useful in preventing bottlenecks from forming in a

network.

To assign a threshold limit on a port, use the STORM-CONTROL

command in the Port Interface mode. The format is:

storm-control broadcast|multicast|dlf level

value

The BROADCAST, MULTICAST and DLF parameters specify the packet

type of the threshold limit. (The DLF parameter, the acronym for “database

lookup failure,” is for unknown unicast packets.) The VALUE parameter

specifies the maximum permitted number of ingress packets per second a

port will accept. The range is 0 to 33,554,431 packets.

This example sets a threshold of 5,000 packets per second for ingress

broadcast packets on port 12:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

Displaying Threshold Limit Settings on Ports

To display the threshold settings for the ingress packets on the ports, use

the SHOW STORM-CONTROL command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Here is the format:

show storm-control [

port

]

This example of the command displays the broadcast, multicast and dif

levels on ports 18:

awplus# show storm-control port1.0.18

Here is an example of the information the command displays.

Reinitializing Auto-Negotiation

If you believe that a port set to Auto-Negotiation is not using the highest

possible common speed and duplex-mode between itself and a network

device, you can instruction it to repeat Auto-Negotiation. This is

accomplished with the RENEGOTIATE command in the Port Interface

mode. The command does not have any parameters. A port must already

be set to Auto-Negotiation before you can use this command.

This example prompts ports 4 and 8 to use Auto-Negotiation to renegotiate

their settings with the ports on their network counterparts:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# renegotiate

For reference information, refer to “RENEGOTIATE” on page 225.

Restoring the Default Settings

To restore the default settings on a port, use the PURGE command in the

Port Interface mode. This example returns ports 12, 13 and 15 to their

default settings:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12,port1.0.13,port1.0.15

BACKPRESSURE

Syntax

backpressure on|off

Parameters

Activates backpressure on the ports.

off

Deactivates backpressure on the ports.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to enable or disable backpressure on ports that are

operating at 10 or 100 Mbps in half-duplex mode. Backpressure is used by

ports during periods of packet congestion to temporarily stop their network

counterparts from transmitting more packets. This prevents a buffer

overrun and the subsequent loss and retransmission of network packets.

A port initiates backpressure by transmitting on the shared link to cause a

data collision, which causes its link partner to cease transmission.

To set backpressure on a port, you must configure the speed and duplex

mode manually. You cannot set backpressure on a port that is using Auto-

Negotiation.

DUPLEX

Syntax

duplex auto|half|full

Parameters

auto

Activates Auto-Negotiation for the duplex mode, so that the duplex

mode is set automatically.

half

Specifies half-duplex mode.

full

Specifies full-duplex mode.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to set the duplex modes of the twisted pair ports. Ports

operating in half-duplex mode can either receive packets or transmit

packets, but not both at the same time, while ports operating in full-duplex

can both send and receive packets, simultaneously.

Note

To avoid a duplex mode mismatch between switch ports and

network devices, do not select Auto-Negotiation on ports that are

connected to network devices on which the duplex modes are set

manually. Switch ports that are set to Auto-Negotiation default to

half duplex mode if they detect that the network devices are not

using Auto-Negotiation. This may result in duplex mode mismatches

in which the switch ports use half duplex mode and the network

devices full duplex mode. To prevent this problem, always manually

set the duplex mode on ports that are connected to network devices

that are not using Auto-Negotiation.

FLOWCONTROL

Syntax

flowcontrol send|receive|both on|off

Parameter

send

Controls whether a port sends pause packets during periods of

packet congestion, to initiate flow control.

receive

Controls whether a port, when it receives pause packets from its

network counterpart, stops sending packets.

Activates flow control.

off

Deactivates flow control.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to enable or disable flow control on ports that are

operating in full-duplex mode. Ports use flow control when they are

experiencing traffic congestion and need to temporary stop their link

partners from transmitting any more traffic. This allows them time to

process the packets already in their buffers.

A port that is experiencing traffic congestion initiates flow control by

sending pause packets. These packets instruct the link partner to stop

transmitting packets. A port continues to issue pause packets so long as

the traffic congestion persists. Once the condition has cleared, a port

stops sending pause packets to allow its link partner to resume the

transmission of packets.

The ports on the switch can both send pause packets during periods of

traffic congestion and stop transmitting packets when they receive pause

packets from their link partners. You can control both aspects of flow

control separately on the ports.

The RECEIVE parameter in the command controls the behavior of a port

when it receives pause packets from a network device. If receive is on, a

port stops sending packets in response to pause packets from its link

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

213

partner. If it is off, a port does not respond to pause packets and continues

to transmit packets. At the default setting, the receive portion of flow

control is off.

The SEND parameter determines whether a port sends pause packets

when it experiences traffic congestion. If send is on, a port sends pause

packets to signal its link partner of the condition and to stop the

transmission of more packets. If send is off, a port does not send pause

packets during periods of traffic congestion. At the default setting, the

send portion of flow control is off.

To configure flow control on a port, you must disable Auto-Negotiation and

set the speed and duplex mode manually. A port set to Auto-Negotiation

always uses flow control when operating in full-duplex mode.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW FLOWCONTROL INTERFACE” on page 227

Examples

This example configures port 19 to 100 Mbps, full-duplex mode, with both

the send and receive parts of flow control enabled:

awplus(config-if)# speed 100

awplus(config-if)# duplex full

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol send on

awplus(config-if)# flowcontrol receive on

This example configures ports 18 to 21 and 24 to 10 Mbps, full-duplex

mode, with both the send and receive portions of flow control disabled.

The ports will neither respond to pause packets from their link partners by

ceasing transmission nor will they issue pause packets during periods of

traffic congestion:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18-port1.0.21,port1.0.24

HOLBPLIMIT

Syntax

holbplimit

Parameter

holbplimit

Specifies the threshold at which a port signals a head of line

blocking event. The threshold is specified in cells. A cell is 128

bytes. The range is 1 to 8,191 cells; the default is 7,168 cells.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to specify a threshold for head of line blocking events

on the ports. Head of line (HOL) blocking is a problem that occurs when a

port on the switch becomes oversubscribed because it is receiving more

packets from other switch ports than it can transmit in a timely manner.

An oversubscribed port can prevent other ports from forwarding packets to

each other because ingress packets on a port are buffered in a First In,

First Out (FIFO) manner. If a port has, at the head of its ingress queue, a

packet destined for an oversubscribed port, it will not be able to forward

any of its other packets to the egress queues of the other ports.

A simplified version of the problem is illustrated in Figure 51 on page 216.

It shows four ports on the switch. Port D is receiving packets from two

ports— 50% of the egress traffic from port A and 100% of the egress traffic

from port B. Not only is port A unable to forward packets to port D because

port D’s ingress queues are filled with packets from port B, but port A is

also unable to forward traffic to port C because its egress queue has

frames destined to port D that it is unable to forward.

Chapter 10: Port Parameter Commands

216

Figure 51. Head of Line Blocking

The HOL Limit parameter can help prevent this problem from occurring. It

sets a threshold on the utilization of a port’s egress queue. When the

threshold for a port is exceeded, the switch signals other ports to discard

packets to the oversubscribed port.

For example, referring to the figure above, when the utilization of the

storage capacity of port D exceeds the threshold, the switch signals the

other ports to discard packets destined for port D. Port A drops the D

packets, enabling it to once again forward packets to port C.

The number you enter for this value represents cells. A cell is 128 bytes.

The range is 1 to 8,191 cells; the default is 7,168 cells.

POLARITY

Syntax

polarity auto|mdi|mdix

Parameters

auto

Activates auto-MDI/MDIX.

mdi

Sets a port’s wiring configuration to MDI.

mdix

Sets a port’s wiring configuration to MDI-X.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to set the wiring configuration of twisted pair ports that

are operating at 10 or 100 Mbps, in half- or full-duplex mode.

A twisted pair port that is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps can have one of two

wiring configurations, known as MDI (medium dependent interface) and

MDI-X (medium dependent interface crossover). To forward traffic, a port

on the switch and a port on a network device must have different settings.

For instance, the wiring configuration of a switch port has to be MDI if the

wiring configuration on a port on a network device is MDIX.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Examples

This example sets port 28 to the MDI wiring configuration:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.28

awplus(config-if)# polarity mdi

252

Overview

The AT-FS970M/8PS, AT-FS970M/8PS-E, AT-FS970M/24PS, and AT-

FS970M/48PS switches feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the 10/

100Base-Tx ports. PoE is used to supply power to network devices over

the same twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic.

The main advantage of PoE is that it can make it easier to install a

network. The selection of a location for a network device is often limited by

whether there is a power source nearby. This constraint limits equipment

placement or requires the added time and cost of having additional

electrical sources installed. However, with PoE, you can install PoE-

compatible devices wherever they are needed without having to worry

about whether there is a power source nearby.

Power Sourcing

Equipment (PSE)

A device that provides PoE to other network devices is referred to as

power sourcing equipment (PSE). The AT-FS970M/8PS, AT-FS970M/

8PS-E, AT-FS970M/24PS, and AT-FS970M/48PS switches are PSE

devices providing DC power to the network cable and functioning as a

central power source for other network devices.

Powered Device

(PD)

A device that receives power from a PSE device is called a powered

device (PD). Examples include wireless access points, IP phones,

webcams, and even other Ethernet switches.

PD Classes PDs are grouped into five classes. The classes are based on the amount

of power that PDs require. The AT-FS970M PoE switches support all five

classes listed in Table 18.

Power Budget Power budget is the maximum amount of power that the PoE switch can

provide at one time to the connected PDs.

The AT-FS970M/8PS and AT-FS970M/8PS-E switches have one power

supply. The AT-FS970M/24PS and AT-FS970M/48PS switches have two

power supplies and can be operated using either one power supply or both

power supplies. One power supply is responsible for providing 185 watts

of the power budget. Table 19 shows power budget per model.

Port

Prioritization

As long as the total power requirements of the PDs is less than the total

available power of the switch, it can supply power to all of the PDs.

However, when the PD power requirements exceed the total available

power, the switch denies power to some ports based on a process called

port prioritization.

The ports on the PoE switch are assigned to one of three priority levels.

These levels and descriptions are listed in Table 20.

Without enough power to support all the ports set to the same priority level

at one time, the switch provides power to the ports based on the port

number, in ascending order. For example, when all of the ports in the

switch are set to the low priority level, and the power requirements are

exceeded on the switch, port 1 has the highest priority level, port 2 has the

next highest priority level and so forth.

Level Description

Critical This is the highest priority level. Ports set to the Critical

level are guaranteed to receive power before any of the

ports assigned to the other priority levels.

High Ports set to the High level receive power only when all

the ports assigned to the Critical level are already

receiving power.

Low This is the lowest priority level. Ports set to the Low level

receive power only when all the ports assigned to the

Critical and High levels are already receiving power. This

level is the default setting.

Chapter 11: Power Over Ethernet

254

Enabling and Disabling PoE

Enabling PoE on ports allows the switch to supply power to PDs

connected to the ports. In order for PDs to receive power, PoE must be

enabled on the ports. By default, PoE is enabled on all the ports on the

PoE switch.

The switch detects whether or not a network device connected to the port

is a valid PD. If the device is not a valid PD, the port functions as a regular

Ethernet port even when PoE is enabled on the port. The PoE feature

remains activated on the port, but no power is delivered to the device.

Disabling PoE on the port turns off the power supply to the port. You may

want to disable PoE on the ports used only for data traffic in order to

prevent them from unauthorized power use.

There are two ways to disable and enable PoE:

Globally: all the ports on the switch at a time.

Individually: on a port basis.

To enable PoE globally, use the SERVICE POWER-INLINE command in

the Global Configuration mode. See “SERVICE POWER-INLINE” on

page 281. The NO SERVICE POWER-INLINE command disables PoE on

all the ports on the switch. See “NO SERVICE POWER-INLINE” on

page 272.

To enable PoE on an individual port basis, use the POWER-INLINE

ENABLE command in the Port Interface mode. See “POWER-INLINE

ENABLE” on page 276. The NO POWER-INLINE command disables PoE

on a port. See “NO POWER-INLINE ENABLE” on page 268.

This example enables PoE globally:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service power-inline

This example disables PoE globally:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service power-inline

This example enables PoE individually on port 6 and port 8:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6,port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# power-inline enable

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

255

This example disables PoE individually on port 5 to port 8:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5-port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# no power-inline enable

Chapter 11: Power Over Ethernet

256

Adding PD Descriptions to Ports

PDs connected to the ports are easier to identify if you give them

descriptions. To add descriptions to PDs, use the POWER-INLINE

DESCRIPTION command in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format:

power-inline description

description

The description parameter can consist of up to 256 alphanumeric

characters. Spaces and special characters are allowed. You can assign a

description to more than one port at a time. See “POWER-INLINE

DESCRIPTION” on page 275.

To remove the current description from the port without assigning a new

one, use the NO POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION command. See “NO

POWER-INLINE DESCRIPTION” on page 267.

This example adds a PD description of “Desk Phone” to port 1.0.5 and

port1.0.6:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5,port1.0.6

awplus(config-if)# power-inline description Desk Phone

This example removes the description previously added to the port 6:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6

awplus(config-if)# no power-inline description

Note

To add a general description to a port, use the DESCRIPTION

command. For more information, see “DESCRIPTION” on

page 206.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

257

Prioritizing Ports

When the total power requirements of the PDs exceed the total available

power of the switch, the switch denies power to one or more ports based

on port prioritization.To guarantee power to the most critical PDs before

any other PDs, the switch allows you to prioritize the ports for power

supply.

You can assign one of three priority levels to a port: Critical, High, and

Low. See “Port Prioritization” on page 253 for details. By default, all ports

are set to the Low priority level. To change the priority level, use the

POWER-INLINE PRIORITY command. Here is the format:

power-inline priority critical | high | low

To guarantee that the most critical PDs receive power, assign the highest

priority level to the PDs. See “POWER-INLINE PRIORITY” on page 278.

To reset the priority level to the default Low level, use the NO POWER-

INLINE PRIORITY command. See “NO POWER-INLINE PRIORITY” on

page 270.

This example assigns ports 1, 2, and 3 to the Critical priority level to

guarantee these ports receive power before any other ports with the High

or Low priority level:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.3

awplus(config-if)# power-inline priority critical

This example assigns port 4 to port 10 to the High priority level so that the

ports receive power before any ports with the Low priority level:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4-port1.0.10

awplus(config-if)# power-inline priority high

This example sets port 8 to the Low priority level:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# no power-inline priority

Chapter 11: Power Over Ethernet

258

Managing the Maximum Power Limit on Ports

To manage the switch’s power and optimize its power distribution, the

switch allows you to adjust the power limit that the switch provides to each

port. The switch automatically sets a default power limit to the port where

a PD is connected and allows you to change the default settings.

The switch detects the power class of a PD when the PD is connected to

the port. PDs are assigned one of five classes described in “PD Classes”

on page 252. Each class has a maximum power. The switch sets this

value as a default power limit to the port where the PD is connected.

For example, you connect an IP phone to port 1 on the PoE switch. The

switch detects that the power class of the IP phone is 2. The maximum

power output from the switch for a PD of class 2 is 7.0 watts. Thus, the

switch sets 7.0 watts as the default power limit to port 1.

If a PD connected to the port does not support power classification, a

default class of 0 is assigned to the PD. The maximum power for a PD of

class 0 is 15.4 watts so that the switch sets 15.4 watts to the default power

limit to the port.

To change a default power limit to the port, use the POWER-INLINE MAX

command in the Port Interface mode. Specify the value in milliwatts (mW)

See “POWER-INLINE MAX” on page 277.

This example changes the maximum power that the switch provides port 2

to 4.0 watts (4000 milliwatts):

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2

awplus(config-if)# power-inline max 4000

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

259

Managing Legacy PDs

The PoE switch automatically detects whether or not a device plugged into

the PoE-enabled port is a valid PD. The switch supports PDs compliant

with the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards. In addition, the

switch supports legacy PDs that were designed before the IEEE standards

were finalized.

If the switch detects the connected device as an invalid PD, the port

functions as a regular Ethernet port. The PoE feature remains activated on

the port, but no power is delivered to the PD.

To enable the switch to detect legacy PDs as valid PDs, use the POWER-

INLINE ALLOW-LEGACY command to provide power to legacy PDs. See

“POWER-INLINE ALLOW-LEGACY” on page 274. To disable the switch

to detect legacy PDs as valid PDs, use the NO POWER-INLINE ALLOW-

LEGACY command not to provide power to legacy PDs. By default, the

switch detects legacy PDs as valid PDs. See “NO POWER-INLINE

ALLOW-LEGACY” on page 266.

This example enables the switch to detect legacy PDs as valid PDs on port

1 to port 3:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.3

awplus(config-if)# power-inline allow-legacy

This example disables the switch to detect legacy PDs as valid PDs on

ports 1:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1

awplus(config-if)# no power-inline allow-legacy

Chapter 11: Power Over Ethernet

260

Monitoring Power Consumption

You can monitor the power consumption of the switch and PDs by

configuring the unit to transmit an SNMP power-inline trap if their

combined power requirements exceed a defined threshold. The threshold

is specified as a percentage of the switch’s nominal power, which is the

total available power of the switch. You can view the nominal power with

“SHOW POWER-INLINE” on page 282. The threshold has the range of 1

to 99%. You may specify only one threshold. The commands for setting

the threshold and activating the trap are listed in Table 21.

Note

You have to configure SNMP to use the trap. For instructions, refer

to Chapter 71, “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c” on page 1121 or Chapter

73, “SNMPv3 Commands” on page 1157.

This example configures the switch to send the SNMP power-inline trap if

the power requirements of the switch and PDs exceed 90% of its nominal

power:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# power-inline usage-threshold 90

awplus(config)# snmp-server

awplus(config)# snmp-server enable trap power-inline

POWER-INLINE PRIORITY

Syntax

power-inline priority critical|high|low

Parameters

critical

Sets ports to the Critical priority level for PoE ports. Ports set to the

Critical level are guaranteed power before any of the ports

assigned to the other priority levels.

high

Sets ports to the High priority level. Ports set to the High level

receive power only when all of the ports assigned to the Critical

level are already receiving power.

low

Sets ports to the Low priority level. Ports set to the Low level

receive power only when all of the ports assigned to the critical and

high levels are already receiving power. This level is the default

setting.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to assign PoE priority levels to the ports. The priority

levels are Low, High, and Critical. Ports connected to the most critical PDs

should be assigned the Critical level to guarantee them power before any

of the other ports in the event the switch does not have enough power for

all of the PDs.

If the switch does not have enough power to support all the ports set to the

same priority level, it allocates power based on port number, in ascending

order. For example, if all of the ports are set to the Low priority level, port 1

has the highest priority level, port 2 has the next highest priority level and

so forth.

Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

294

Overview

This chapter explains how to assign the switch an IP address. The switch

must have an IP address to perform the features in Table 27. It uses the

address as its source address when it communicates with other network

devices, such as TFTP servers, and Telnet management workstations.

To assign an IP address to the switch, you have to create an IPv4 routing

interface in one of its VLANs. You should assign the routing interface to

the VLAN from which the switch is to access the management devices.

The switch uses the IP address of the routing interface as its source

address.

Routing interfaces are also used to implement the IPv4 packet routing

feature, described in Chapter 102, “Internet Protocol Version 4 Packet

Routing” on page 1791. If you do not plan to use the packet routing

feature, create only one IPv4 routing interface on the switch. The switch

does not route packets if it has only one interface.

You may also assign the switch one IPv6 management address. However,

as the table indicates, the switch does not support all of the features when

assigned only an IPv6 address.

Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

296

Here are the guidelines to assigning the switch management IPv4 and

IPv6 addresses:

You may assign the switch more than one IPv4 address. However,

the switch routes IPv4 packets if it has more than one routing

interface, as explained in Chapter 102, “Internet Protocol Version 4

Packet Routing” on page 1791. If you want the switch to support

the features in Table 27 on page 294 but not route packets, assign

it only one IPv4 routing interface.

The switch supports only one IPv6 address.

A management address can be assigned to a VLAN on the switch.

It can be assigned to any VLAN, including the Default_VLAN. For

background information on VLANs, refer to Chapter 58, “Port-

based and Tagged VLANs” on page 879.

If you assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the switch, they

must be assigned to the same VLAN.

An IPv4 management address can be assigned manually or from a

DHCP server on your network. (To learn the switch’s MAC address

to add to a DHCP server, refer to “SHOW SWITCH” on page 167.)

An IPv6 address must be assigned manually. The switch does not

support the assignment of an IPv6 management address from a

DHCP server or by IPv6 auto assignment.

You must also assign the switch a default gateway if the

management devices (syslog servers, Telnet workstations, etc,)

are not members of the same subnet as the management address.

This IP address designates an interface on a router or other Layer

3 device that represents the first hop to the remote subnets or

networks where the network devices are located.

The default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the

same subnet as the management address.

Adding an IPv4

Management

Address

The command to assign the switch an IPv4 management address is the IP

ADDRESS command. It has to be performed from the VLAN Configuration

mode of the VLAN to which the address is to be assigned. If the VLAN

does not already exist, you have to create it before you can assign the

address. For instructions, refer to Chapter 58, “Port-based and Tagged

VLANs” on page 879.

Here is the format of the command:

ip address

ipaddress/mask

|dhcp

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IPv4 management address to be

assigned the switch. The address is specified in this format:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Each NNN is a decimal number from 0 to 255. The numbers must be

separated by periods.

The MASK parameter is a decimal number that represents the number of

bits, from left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address.

Here are a couple of basic examples:

The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.

The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.

Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

298

Here are several examples of the command. The first example assigns the

switch the management IPv4 address 149.121.43.56/24 to the

Default_VLAN, which has the VID number 1.

Note

By default, the switch is configured with the Default_VLAN which

has a VID number of 1 and includes all ports on the switch. The

Default_VLAN only has default values and cannot be created,

modified or deleted.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan1

awplus(config-if)# ip address 149.121.43.56/24

awplus(config-if)# exit

This example assigns the IPv4 management address 143.24.55.67 and

subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to a new VLAN titled Tech_support. The

VLAN is assigned the VID 17 and consists of untagged ports 5 and 6. The

first series of commands create the new VLAN.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Exec mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# vlan database Use the VLAN DATABASE

command to enter the VLAN

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 17 name Tech_support Use the VLAN command to assign

the VID 17 and the name

Tech_support to the new VLAN.

awplus(config-vlan)# exit Return to the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5,port1.0.6 Enter the Port Interface mode for

ports 5 and 6.

awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 17 Use the SWITCHPORT ACCESS

VLAN command to add the ports

to the new VLAN.

awplus(config-if)# end Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show vlan Use the SHOW VLAN command

to confirm the configuration of the

new VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

299

The next series of commands assigns the management address

143.24.55.67 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to the new VLAN.

This example activates the DHCP client so that the management IPv4

address is assigned to the Default_VLAN:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan1

awplus(config-if)# ip address dhcp

Adding an IPv4

Default Gateway

Address

The switch must be assigned a default gateway if the management

devices (for example, syslog servers, TFTP servers, and Telnet clients)

are not members of the same subnet as the management IPv4 address. A

default gateway is an IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer

3 device. It represents the first hop to the networks in which the

management devices reside. The switch can have only one IPv4 default

gateway and the address must be a member of the same subnet as the

management IPv4 address.

The command for assigning the default gateway is the IP ROUTE

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format:

ip route 0.0.0.0/0

ipaddress

The IPADDDRESS parameter is the default gateway to be assigned the

switch.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# interface vlan17 Use the INTERFACE VLAN

command to move to the VLAN

Interface.

awplus(config-if)# ip address 143.24.55.67/24 Use the IP ADDRESS command

to assign the management

address 143.24.55.67 and subnet

mask 255.255.255.0 to the VLAN.

awplus(config-if)# end Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show ip interface Use the SHOW IP INTERFACE

command to display the new

management IPv4 address.

Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

300

Note

If an IPv4 default gateway is already assigned to the switch, you

must delete it prior to entering the new address. For instructions,

refer to “Deleting an IPv4 Management Address and Default

Gateway” on page 300.

This example assigns the switch the default gateway address

149.121.43.23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 149.121.43.23

To verify the default route, issue these commands:

awplus(config)# exit

awplus# show ip route

For information about how to add static IPv4 routes, see “Adding Static

and Default Routes” on page 1806.

Deleting an IPv4

Management

Address and

Default Gateway

The switch does not allow you to make any changes to the current

management address on the switch. If you want to change the address or

assign it to a different VLAN, you have to delete it and recreate it, with the

necessary changes.

To delete a static IPv4 management address from the switch, enter the

NO IP ADDRESS command in the VLAN Interface mode in which the

current address is assigned. This example of the command deletes the

address from a VLAN with the VID of 17:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan17

awplus(config-if)# no ip address

To delete an IPv4 management address assigned by a DHCP server, use

the NO IP ADDRESS DHCP command. This example of the command

deletes the management address assigned by a DHCP server, from a

VLAN on the switch with the VID of 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan23

awplus(config-if)# no ip address dhcp

To remove the current default gateway, use the NO form of the IP ROUTE

command. The command must include the current default gateway. This

example removes the default route 149.121.43.23:

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no ip route 0.0.0.0/0 149.121.43.23

Displaying an

IPv4

Management

Address and

Default Gateway

The easiest way to view the IPv4 management address and default

gateway address of the switch is with the SHOW IP ROUTE command. It

displays both addresses at the same time. The command is found in the

Privileged Exec mode, as shown here:

awplus# show ip route

See Figure 67 for an example of the information. The management IPv4

address of the switch is displayed in the first entry in the table and the

default gateway address, if assigned to the switch, in the second entry.

Figure 67 displays an example of the information.

Figure 67. SHOW IP ROUTE Command

The columns in the display are defined in Table 29 on page 326.

To view only the management IP address, use the SHOW IP INTERFACE

command, also in the Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# show ip interface

Here is an example of the information from the command.

Adding an IPv6

Management

Address

The command to assign the switch an IPv6 management address is the

IPv6 ADDRESS command. As with the IPv4 address command, this

command has to be performed in the VLAN Configuration mode of the

VLAN to which the address is to be assigned. If the VLAN does not

already exist, you have to create it first. For instructions, refer to Chapter

58, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs” on page 879. If the switch already

has an IPv4 address, the IPv6 address must be assigned to the same

VLAN as that address.

Here is the format of the command:

ipv6 address

ipaddress/mask

The IPADDRESS parameter is the management IPv6 address for the

switch, entered in this format:

nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn

Where N is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of digits are

separated by colons. Groups where all four digits are ‘0’ can be omitted.

Leading ‘0’s in groups can also be omitted. For example, the following

IPv6 addresses are equivalent:

12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50

12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50

The MASK parameter is a decimal number that represents the number of

bits, from left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address.

For example, an address whose network designator consists of the first

eight bytes would need a mask of 64 bits.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

303

Note

If there is a management IPv6 address already assigned to the

switch, you must delete it prior to entering the new address. For

instructions, refer to “Deleting an IPv6 Management Address and

Default Gateway” on page 304.

Here are several examples of the command. The first example assigns the

switch this static management IPv6 address to the Default_VLAN with VID

number 1.

90:0a21:091b:0000:0000:0000:09bd:c458

Here are the commands:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan1

awplus(config-if)# ipv6 address 90:a21:91b::9bd:c458/64

awplus(config-if)# exit

This example assigns a management IPv6 address to a VLAN with the

VID 8:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan8

awplus(config-if)# ipv6 address 1857:80cf:d54::1a:8f57/64

awplus(config-if)# exit

Note

You cannot use a DHCP server or SLAAC (State Address

Autoconfiguration) to assign the switch a dynamic IPv6 address. The

switch supports only a single static IPv6 address.

Adding an IPv6

Default Gateway

Address

The switch must be assigned a default gateway if the management

devices (for example, TFTP servers, Telnet clients and SSH clients) are

not members of the same subnet as its management IPv6 address. A

default gateway is an IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer

3 device that is the first hop to the networks in which the management

devices are located. The switch can have only one IPv6 default gateway

and the address must be a member of the same subnet as the

management IPv6 address.

The command for assigning the default gateway is the IPV6 ROUTE

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the

command:

ipv6 route ::/0

ipaddress

Chapter 13: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses

304

The IPADDDRESS parameter is the default gateway to be assigned the

switch. The address must be an IPv6 address and it must be a member of

the same subnet as the management IPv6 address.

Note

This configuration is different in the AT-8000GS switch where the

gateway is specified as the Link Local address.

Note

If there is an IPv6 default gateway already assigned to the switch,

you must delete it prior to entering the new default gateway. For

instructions, refer to “Deleting an IPv6 Management Address and

Default Gateway” on page 304.

This example assigns the switch the default gateway address

389c:be45:78::c45:8156:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 389c:be45:78::c45:8156

To verify the default route, issue these commands:

awplus(config-if)# end

awplus# show ipv6 route

Deleting an IPv6

Management

Address and

Default Gateway

To delete a static IPv6 management address, enter the NO IPV6

ADDRESS command in the VLAN Interface mode in which the current

address is assigned. This example of the command deletes the address

from a VLAN with the VID 21:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan21

awplus(config-if)# no ipv6 address

To remove the default gateway, use the NO form of the IPV6 ROUTE

command. The command must include the current default gateway. Here

is the format of the command:

no ipv6 route ::/0

ipaddress

The IPADDRESS parameter specifies the default route to be deleted. This

example deletes the default route 389c:be45:78::c45:8156:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no ipv6 route ::/0 389c:be45:78::c45:8156

Displaying an

IPv6

Management

Address and

Default Gateway

There are two commands for displaying a management IPv6 address and

default gateway. If the switch has both an IPv6 address and default

gateway, you can display both of them with the SHOW IPV6 ROUTE

command, in the Privileged Exec mode, as shown here:

awplus# show ipv6 route

Here is an example of the information. The default route is displayed first,

followed by the management address.

Figure 69. SHOW IPV6 ROUTE Command

Another way to display just the management address is with the SHOW

IPV6 INTERFACE command, shown here:

awplus# show ipv6 interface

Here is an example of the information from the command.

ipaddress

Parameters

ipaddress

Specifies an IPv4 default gateway address.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to assign the switch an IPv4 default gateway address.

A default gateway is an address of an interface on a router or other Layer

3 device. The switch uses the address as the first hop to reaching remote

subnets or networks when communicating with management network

devices, such as Telnet clients and syslog servers, that are not members

of the same subnet as its IPv4 address.

You must assign the switch a default gateway address if both of the

following are true:

You assigned the switch an IPv4 management address.

The management network devices are not members of the same

subnet as the management IP address.

Review the following guidelines before assigning a default gateway

address to the switch:

The switch can have just one IPv4 default gateway address.

The switch must already have an IPv4 management address.

The management address and the default gateway address must

be members of the same subnet.

Chapter 15: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client

332

Overview

The switch has a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client for setting

its date and time from an SNTP or NTP server on your network or the

Internet. The date and time are added to the event messages that are

stored in the event log and sent to syslog servers.

The switch polls the SNTP or NTP server for the date and time when you

configure the client and when the unit is powered on or reset.

Here are the guidelines to using the SNTP client:

You must specify the IP address of the SNTP or NTP server from

which the switch is to obtain the date and time. You can specify

only one IP address. For instructions, refer to “Activating the SNTP

Client and Specifying the IP Address of an NTP or SNTP Server”

on page 333.

You must configure the client by specifying whether the locale of

the switch is in Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time. For

instructions, refer to “Configuring Daylight Savings Time and UTC

Offset” on page 334.

You must specify the offset of the switch from Coordinated

Universal Time (UTC). For instructions, refer to “Configuring

Daylight Savings Time and UTC Offset” on page 334.

The switch must have a management IP address to communicate

with an SNTP or NTP server. For instructions, refer to “Adding a

Management IP Address” on page 80 or Chapter 13, “IPv4 and

IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The SNTP or NTP server must be a member of the same subnet

as the management IP address of the switch or be able to access it

through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

If the management IP address of the switch and the IP address of

the SNTP or NTP server are members of different subnets or

networks, you must also assign the switch a default gateway. This

is the IP address of a routing interface that represents the first hop

to reaching the remote network of the SNTP or NTP server. For

instructions, refer to “Adding a Management IP Address” on

page 80 or Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses”

on page 293.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

333

Activating the SNTP Client and Specifying the IP Address of an NTP or

SNTP Server

To activate the SNTP client on the switch and to specify the IP address of

an NTP or SNTP server, use the NTP PEER command in the Global

Configuration mode. You can specify the IP address of only one server.

This example of the command specifies 1.77.122.54 as the IP address of

the server:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ntp peer 1.77.122.54

To display the date and time, use the SHOW CLOCK command in the

User Exec and Privileged Exec modes.

awplus# show clock

Chapter 15: Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client

334

Configuring Daylight Savings Time and UTC Offset

If the time that the NTP or SNTP server provides to the switch is in

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), it has to be converted into local time.

To do that, the switch needs to know whether to use Standard Time (ST)

or Daylight Savings Time (DST), and the number of hours and minutes it is

ahead of or behind UTC, referred to as the UTC offset.

Note

To set the daylight savings time and UTC offset, you must first

specify the IP address of an NTP server with the NTP PEER

command. For instructions, refer to “Activating the SNTP Client and

Specifying the IP Address of an NTP or SNTP Server” on page 333.

This table lists the commands you use to configure the daylight savings

time and UTC offset.

The commands are located in the Global Configuration mode. This

example configures the client for DST and a UTC offset of -8 hours:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# clock summer-time

awplus(config)# clock timezone -08:00

Chapter 17: Domain Name System (DNS)

352

Overview

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system that allows you to

access remote systems using host names that consist of text or text-

based rather than IP addresses. DNS creates a mapping between a

domain name, such as “www.alliedtelesis.com,” and its IP address, for

example, 207.135.120.89. These mappings are held on DNS servers.

To access remote systems using domain names instead of IP addresses,

you must have a DNS server on your network and configure DNS servers

on the switch.

Domain name

parts

Domain names, such as “www.alliedtelesis.com,” consist of two or more

name segments. The format of a domain name is the same as the host

portion of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and each segment is

separated by a period.

The hierarchy of a domain name descends from right to left. The segment

on the far right is a top-level domain name shared by many hosts. For

example, the “alliedtelesis” of “www.alliedtelssis.com” belongs to the top-

level domain “com” and the “www” belongs to the “alliedtelesis”.

The following diagram shows an example of DNS hierarchy.

Figure 80. DNS Hierarchy

Server Hierarchy A network of domain name servers maintains the mappings between

domain names and their IP addresses. This network operates in a

hierarchy that is similar to the structure of the domain names. When a

local DNS server cannot resolve your request, it sends the request to a

higher level DNS server.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

353

DNS Sever List The DNS server list is a set of DNS servers that a DNS client on the switch

sends a request to. When you enter a domain name in the CLI as a part of

the command, for example, ping www.alliedtelesis.com, the DNS

client on the switch sends a DNS query to DNS servers on the DNS server

list to resolve the host name. To use domain names instead of IP

addresses on the switch, you must have at least one server on the DNS

server list. You can add a DNS server using the IP NAME-SERVER

command.

DNS List You add top-level domains, such as “com” and “net” to the DNS list. The

switch appends a domain to incomplete host names in DNS requests.

Each domain in the DNS list is tried in DNS lookups. For example, when

you use the ping alliedtelesis command, the switch sends a DNS

request for “alliedtelesis.com.” When no match is found, the switch tries

“alliedtelesis.net.” You can create the DNS list using the IP DOMAIN-LIST

command.

Default Domain The switch can have one default domain. The switch allows you to save

typing of a domain in the CLI by setting a default domain. Once you set a

default domain for the DNS, the DNS client appends this domain to

incomplete host names in DNS requests. For example, you set

“alliedtelesis.com” as a default domain. When you type the command ping

host2 in the CLI, the switch sends a DNS request for

“host2.alliedtelesis.com.”

If a domain exists in the DNS list, the switch does not use the default

domain. The switch uses the default domain only when no domains are

specified in the DNS list.

Chapter 17: Domain Name System (DNS)

354

Adding a DNS Server to the Switch

The switch has a DNS client. When you add a DNS server to the switch,

the DNS client allows you to use domain names instead of IP addresses

when you use commands on the switch.

The switch cannot resolve a host name until you have added at least one

server to the DNS server list on the switch. There is no limit on the number

of servers you can add to the list.

To add the IP address of a DNS server, use the IP NAME-SERVER

command. The following example adds the IP address of a DNS server,

10.8.4.75, to the list of DNS servers:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip name-server 10.8.4.75

To display the list of DNS servers, use the SHOW IP NAME-SERVER

command in the Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# show ip name-server

Here is an example of the information the command displays.

355

Enabling or Disabling the DNS Client

The DNS client on the switch allows you to use domain names instead of

IP addresses when you enter commands on your switch. The DNS client

on the switch is enable by default.

To disable the DNS client, use the NO IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP command:

awplus# no ip domain-lookup

To enable the DNS client, use the IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP command:

awplus> enable

awplus# ip domain-lookup

Chapter 17: Domain Name System (DNS)

356

Adding a Domain to the DNS List

The switch allows you to create a list of domains to save typing the portion

of a domain name on the CLI. Once you add domains to the DNS list, the

switch appends a domain name to incomplete host names in DNS

requests. Each domain in the DNS list is tried in DNS lookups. The first

entry added to the DNS list is checked first. Then the second DNS list

entry is checked and so forth.

For example, to add the top-level domains “.com” and “.net” to the DNS

list, use the following commands:

awplus(config)# ip domain-list com

awplus(config)# ip domain-list net

If you enter the command ping alliedtelesis, the switch sends a DNS

request for “alliedtelesis.com.” When no match was found, the switch tries

“alliedtelesis.net.”

To view the entries in the DNS list, use the command:

awplus# show ip domain-name

Here is an example of the information the command displays.

Figure 82. SHOW IP DOMAIN-NAME Command Display

Also, the SHOW HOSTS command displays the default domain name, a

list of DNS domain names, and a list of DNS servers:

awplus# show hosts

Here is an example of the information the command displays.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

357

Setting a Default Domain Name for the DNS

The switch allows you to save typing of the portion of a domain name in

the CLI by setting a default domain. Once you set a default domain for the

DNS, the DNS client appends this domain to incomplete host-names in

DNS requests. For example, you set “alliedtelesis.com” as a default

domain. When you type the command ping host2 in the CLI, the switch

sends a DNS request for “host2.alliedtelesis.com.”

If any domain exists in the DNS list, the switch does not use the default

domain. The switch uses the default domain only when no domains are

specified in the DNS list.

To set “alliedtelesis.com” as a default domain name, use the IP DOMAIN-

NAME command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip domain-name alliedtelesis.com

To display the default domain, use the SHOW IP DOMAIN-NAME

command in the Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# show ip domain-name

Here is an example of the information the command displays.

Also, the SHOW HOSTS command displays the default domain name

among other information:

awplus# show hosts

Parameters

ip-address

Specifies the IP address of a DNS server.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to add the IP address of a DNS server to the DNS

server list on the switch. The DNS client on the switch sends DNS queries

to servers on this list when trying to resolve a DNS host name. The switch

cannot resolve a host name until you have added at least one server to

this list. There is a maximum of three servers that you can add to the list.

When the switch is using its DHCP client for an interface, it can receive

Option code 6 from the DHCP server. After a switch receives Option code

6 from a DHCP server, it automatically adds information about the DHCP

server to the end of the existing domain list.

To delete a DNS server from the switch’s server list, use the NO IP NAME-

SERVER command with the IP address of the DNS server.

Description

Use this command to set a default domain for the DNS. The DNS client on

the switch appends this domain to incomplete host names in DNS

requests.

If a domain exists in the DNS list, the switch does not use the default

domain you specify with this command. The switch uses the default

domain only when no domains are specified in the DNS list. To view the

DNS list, use the SHOW IP DOMAIN-NAME command.

When the switch is using its DHCP client for an interface, it can receive

DHCP option 15 from the DHCP server. The option 15 replaces the

domain name specified by the IP DOMAIN-NAME command with the

domain name from the DHCP server.

Parameters

domain-name

Specifies a domain string, for example, “com.”

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to add a domain name to the DNS list on the switch.

You can add up to three domain names to the list.

The domain is appended to incomplete host names in DNS requests. Each

domain is tried in turn in DNS lookups. The first entry you create is

checked first.

For example, when you add “com” first, then “net” to the DNS list, and

enter the PING ALLIEDTELESIS command in the CLI, the switch appends

“com” to “alliedtelesis” using “.” as a separator and sends a DNS request

for “alliedtelesis.com”. When no match is found, the switch appends the

second entry, “net” in the DNS list and tries “alliedtelesis.net”.

Note

Do not include “.” as a domain. The switch adds “.” when appending

a domain to an incomplete host name.

To delete a domain from the DNS list, use the NO IP DOMAIN-LIST

command.

Chapter 19: MAC Address Table

370

Overview

The MAC address table stores the MAC addresses of all the network

devices that are connected to the switch’s ports. Each entry in the table

consists of a MAC address, a port number where an address was learned

by the switch, and an ID number of a VLAN where a port is a member.

The switch learns the MAC addresses of the network devices by

examining the source addresses in the packets as they arrive on the ports.

When the switch receives a packet that has a source address that is not in

the table, it adds the address, along with the port number where the

packet was received and the ID number of the VLAN where the port is a

member. The result is a table that contains the MAC addresses of all the

network devices that are connected to the switch’s ports.

The purpose of the table is to allow the switch to forward packets more

efficiently. When a packet arrives on a port, the switch examines the

destination address in the packet and refers to its MAC address table to

determine the port where the destination node of that address is

connected. It then forwards the packet to that port and on to the network

device.

If the switch receives a packet with a destination address that is not in the

MAC address table, it floods the packet to all its ports, excluding the port

where the packet was received. If the ports are grouped into virtual LANs,

the switch floods the packet only to those ports that belong to the same

VLAN from which the packet originated. This prevents packets from being

forwarded to inappropriate LAN segments and increases network security.

When the destination node responds, the switch adds the node’s MAC

address and port number to the MAC address table.

If the switch receives a packet with a destination address that is on the

same port on which the packet was received, it discards the packet

without forwarding it on to any port. Because both the source node and the

destination node for the packet are located on the same port on the

switch, there is no reason for the switch to forward the packet. This, too,

increases network performance by preventing frames from being

forwarded unnecessarily to other network devices.

MAC addresses learned by the switch are referred to as dynamic

addresses. Dynamic MAC addresses are not stored indefinitely in the

MAC address table. They are automatically deleted when they are

inactive. A MAC address is considered inactive if the switch does not

receive any frames from the network device after a specified period of

time. The switch assumes that the node with that MAC address is no

longer active and that its MAC address can be purged from the table. This

prevents the MAC address table from becoming filled with addresses of

nodes that are no longer active.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

371

The period of time the switch waits before purging inactive dynamic MAC

addresses is called the aging time. This value is adjustable on the switch.

The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

You can also enter addresses manually into the table. These addresses

are referred to as static addresses. Static MAC addresses remain in the

table indefinitely and are never deleted, even when the network devices

are inactive. Static MAC addresses are useful for addresses that the

switch might not learn through its normal learning process or for addresses

that you want the switch to retain, even when the end nodes are inactive.

Chapter 19: MAC Address Table

372

Adding Static MAC Addresses

The command for adding static unicast MAC addresses to the switch is

MAC ADDRESS-TABLE STATIC in the Global Configuration mode. Here

is the format of the command:

mac address-table static

macaddress

forward|discard

interface

port

[vlan

vlan-name

vid

]

Here are the variables of the command:

macaddress - Use this variable to specify the unicast or multicast

MAC address you want to add to the table. You can add only one

address at a time. In the command, the address must be specified

in either one of the following formats:

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

forward|discard - Use these variables to specify whether the port is

to forward or discard packets that have the designated source

MAC address.

port - Use this variable to specify the port to which the end node of

an address is connected. You can specify just one port.

vlan-name or VID - Use this variable to specify the name or the ID

number of the VLAN of the port of the address. This information is

optional in the command.

This example adds the static MAC address 00:1B:75:62:10:84 to port 12

in the Default VLAN. The port forwards the packets of the designated

network device:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# mac address-table static 00:1b:75:62:10:84

forward interface port1.0.12 vlan 1

This example adds the static MAC address 00:A2:BC:34:D3:67 to port 11

in the VLAN with the ID 4. The port forwards the packets of the designated

network device:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# mac address-table static 00:a2:bc:34:d3:67

forward interface port1.0.11 vlan 4

This example adds the static MAC address 00:A0:D2:18:1A:11 to port 7.

The port discards the packets of the designated network device:

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# mac address-table static 00:a0:d2:18:1a:11

Chapter 19: MAC Address Table

374

Deleting MAC Addresses

To delete MAC addresses from the switch, use the CLEAR MAC

ADDRESS-TABLE command in the Privileged Exec mode. The format of

the command is:

clear mac address-table dynamic|static [address

macaddress

]|[interface

port

]|[vlan

vid

]

Here are the variables:

dynamic - This variable lets you delete dynamic addresses.

static - This parameter lets you delete static addresses.

address - You can use this parameter to delete specific addresses.

You can delete just one address at a time. In the command, the

address must be specified in either one of the following formats:

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

interface - You can use this parameter to delete all of the static or

dynamic addresses on a particular port. You can specify more than

one port at a time.

vlan - You can use this parameter to delete all of the static or

dynamic addresses on the ports of a particular VLAN. You can

specify just one VID at a time.

This example of the command deletes all of the dynamic addresses from

the table:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear mac address-table dynamic

This example deletes all of the static addresses:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear mac address-table static

This example deletes a single dynamic address:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear mac address-table dynamic address

Chapter 19: MAC Address Table

376

Setting the Aging Timer

The aging timer defines the length of time that inactive dynamic MAC

addresses remain in the table before they are deleted by the switch. The

switch deletes inactive addresses to insure that the table contains only

active and current addresses.

The aging timer does not apply to static addresses because static

addresses are not deleted by the switch, even when the network devices

are inactive.

To set the aging timer, use the MAC ADDRESS-TABLE AGEING-TIME

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the

command:

mac address-table ageing-time

value

none

The aging-time is expressed in seconds and has a range of 10 to 1000000

seconds. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). The value none disables

the aging timer so that inactive MAC addresses are never deleted from the

table.

To view the current setting for the MAC address aging timer, refer to

“Displaying the MAC Address Table” on page 377.

This example sets the aging timer to 800 seconds:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# mac address-table ageing-time 800

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

377

Displaying the MAC Address Table

To view the aging time or the MAC address table, use the SHOW MAC

ADDRESS-TABLE command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is its

format:

show mac address-table [interface

Parameter

ageing-time

Specifies the aging timer in seconds for the MAC address table.

The range is 10 to 1000000 seconds. The default is 300 seconds

(5 minutes).

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to set the aging timer. The aging timer is used by the

switch to delete inactive dynamic MAC addresses from the MAC address

table, to prevent the table from becoming full of inactive addresses. An

address is considered inactive if no packets are sent to or received from

the corresponding node for the duration of the timer.

Setting the aging timer to none disables the timer. No dynamic MAC

addresses are aged out, and the table stops learning new addresses after

reaching its maximum capacity.

To return the aging timer to its default value, use the NO form of this

command.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW MAC ADDRESS-TABLE” on page 388.

Examples

This example sets the aging timer to 500 seconds:

awplus> enable

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

392

Overview

Enhanced stacking is a management tool that allows you to manage

different AT-FS970M Switches from one management session. With

enhanced stacking you can start a management session on one switch

and then redirect the session to any of the other switches in the stack,

without having to start a new session.

It is important to understand that enhanced stacking is simply a

management tool. The switches of an enhanced stack continue to function

as stand-alone devices. As such, the switches operate independently of

each other and must be configured individually. For a description of how

the feature is used, refer to “Managing the Member Switches of an

Enhanced Stack” on page 400.

Note

Enhanced stacking is only supported on standalone switches. A

standalone switch is defined as a switch with a Device ID set to 0.

Command and

Member Switches

An enhanced stack must have one command switch. This switch is your

management access point to the other switches in a stack. To manage the

switches of a stack, you start a local or remote management session on

the command switch and then redirect the session, as needed, to the

other switches.

The other switches in the stack are known as member switches. They can

be managed either through the command switch with enhanced stacking

or from local or remote management sessions.

Common VLAN The switches of an enhanced stack do not have to be connected

together with a common VLAN. The command switch uses this

VLAN to send out broadcast packets to search for the switches in

the stack. The VLAN also carries your configuration commands to

the switches. Here are several things to keep in mind when

planning the common VLAN of an enhanced stack:

The common VLAN can have any valid VLAN name and VLAN

identifier (VID).

A member switch can be connected indirectly to the command

switch through other switches, so long as there is an uninterrupted

path of the common VLAN to the command switch.

The Default_VLAN can be used as the common VLAN.

The common VLAN of the enhanced stack does not have to be

dedicated solely to that feature. It can be used like any other

VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

393

A member switch can be any distance from the command switch,

so long as the distance adheres to Ethernet cabling standards.

For background information on port-based and tagged virtual LANs, refer

to Chapter 58, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs” on page 879.

Guidelines Here are the enhanced stacking guidelines for the AT-FS970M Switch:

A stack can have up to 24 AT-FS970M Switches.

The switches of an enhanced stack must be connected together

with a common port-based or tagged VLAN.

The common VLAN does not require the same VID on all of the

switches.

You can use tagged or untagged twisted pair or fiber optic ports of

the common VLAN to connect the switches together.

A member switch does not have to be connected directly to the

command switch. It can be connected indirectly through other

switches, so long as there is an uninterrupted path of the common

VLAN to the command switch.

There are not any distance limitations between the command

switch and the member switches of a stack, other than those

dictated by the Ethernet cabling standards.

The command switch is not required to be assigned a

management IP address. The member switches also do not

require IP addresses.

The enhanced stacking feature on the AT-FS970M Switch is not

compatible with the same feature on other Allied Telesis switches,

such as the AT-8400, AT-8500, and AT-9400 Series switches.

Remote Telnet, SSH, or web browser management of an

enhanced stack must be conducted through the subnet of the

common VLAN. The remote management workstations must be

members of that subnet or have access to it through routers or

other Layer 3 devices.

The IP address 172.16.16.16 is reserved for the enhanced

stacking feature. It must not be assigned to any device on your

network.

General Steps Here are the general steps to implementing the enhanced stacking feature

on the switches:

1. Select an AT-FS970M Switch to act as the command switch of the

stack. This can be any AT-FS970M Switch.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

394

2. On the switch chosen to be the command switch, activate enhanced

stacking and change its stacking status to command switch. The

commands are ESTACK RUN and ESTACK COMMAND-SWITCH,

both in the Global Configuration mode.

3. On the member switches, activate enhanced stacking. You do not

have to set the enhanced stacking mode on the member switch

because the member mode is the default setting.

4. Create a common port-based or tagged VLAN on the command and

member switches. This step is not necessary if you are using the

Default_VLAN (VID 1) as the common VLAN.

5. Optionally, assign the command switch a management IP address in

the common VLAN.

6. If you plan to remotely manage the stack from management

workstations that are not members of the same subnet as the switch,

assign the command switch a default gateway that defines the first hop

to reaching the subnet of the workstations.

Since an enhanced stack is managed through the command switch,

only that switch must have a default gateway, and only if the remote

management workstations are not members of the same subnet as the

common VLAN of the stack.

7. Connect the devices together using twisted pair or fiber optic ports of

the common VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

395

Configuring the Command Switch

Here is an example on how to configure the switch as the command switch

of the enhanced stack. The example creates a common VLAN and

assigns it a management IP address. Here are the specifications for this

command switch:

Common VLAN name: Tech_Support

VID: 12

Untagged VLAN ports: 18 to 22

Management IP address and subnet mask: 149.22.88.5 and

255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 149.22.88.27

(A default gateway is optional, but including it allows you to manage the

switch and the enhanced stack from remote workstations that are not in

the same subnet as the command switch.)

Configuring a Member Switch

This example shows you how to configure the switch as a member switch

of an enhanced stack. It configures the switch to be part of the same

enhanced stack with the same common VLAN as the command switch in

the previous example. Here are the specifications for the member switch:

Common VLAN name: Tech_Support

VID: 12

Untagged VLAN ports: 4 and 5

1. This step creates the common VLAN.

2. Use the ESTACK RUN command in the Global Configuration mode to

activate enhanced stacking on the switch. It is not necessary to set the

switch to the member mode because that is the default setting.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# vlan database Enter the VLAN Interface mode.

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 12 name Tech_Support Create the Tech_Support VLAN

and assign it the VID 12.

Managing the Member Switches of an Enhanced Stack

Here are the steps on how to manage the member switches of an

enhanced stack.

1. Start a local or remote management session on the command switch

of the enhanced stack. After logging on, you can view and configure

the settings of just the command switch.

2. To manage a member switch in the enhanced stack, enter the SHOW

ESTACK REMOTELIST command in the Privileged Exec mode.

awplus> enable

awplus# show estack remotelist

This command displays all of the member switches in the stack. It

does not display any command switches, including the command

switch on which you started the management session. An example is

shown here.

Figure 91. SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST Command

3. Use the RCOMMAND command in the Global Configuration mode to

redirect the management session from the command switch to one of

the member switches in the list. The format of the command is shown

here:

rcommand

switch_id

For example, to manage the dutB switch in the list, you would enter

this command:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# rcommand 2

You can manage just one member switch at a time.

4. When prompted, enter the login name and password of a manager

account on the member switch you are accessing. Once you have

logged on, the command prompt for the member switch is displayed.

5. Configure or view the settings of the member switch, as needed.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

401

6. When you are finished managing the member switch, enter the EXIT

command from the User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode to return

the management session to the command switch.

7. To manage another member switch in the enhanced stack, repeat this

procedure starting with Step 2.

8. To end the management session, return to the User Exec mode or

Privileged Exec mode on the command switch and enter the EXIT

command.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

402

Changing the Enhanced Stacking Mode

If you want to change the enhanced stacking mode of a switch from

command to member, all you have to do is enter the NO ESTACK

COMMAND-SWITCH command in the Global Configuration mode, as

shown here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no estack command-switch

You can enter this command even if the enhanced stack is functional. Of

course, once you have changed the mode on the switch to member from

command, you cannot use the switch to manage the member switches in

the stack.

Changing the switch from the member mode to the command mode can

be more problematic, particularly if the enhanced stack is functional. This

is because a member switch will not allow you to change its mode to the

command mode if it is part of an active stack.

The easiest way to determine whether the switch is part of an active stack

is to use the SHOW ESTACK command. An example of the command is

shown here:

Figure 92. SHOW ESTACK Command

If the brackets following “Member” are empty, the switch is not part of a

stack, and you can use the ESTACK COMMMAND-SWITCH command in

the Global Configuration mode to change its mode to command, as shown

here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# estack command-switch

If there is a number in the brackets following “Member,” the switch is a

member of an active enhanced stack, and it will not let you change its

mode. Here are the steps to follow in this situation:

1. On the command switch, disable enhanced stacking with the NO

ESTACK RUN command.

Enhanced Stacking mode Member [1]

Management IP address 0.0.0.0

Mac address ECCD.6D4D.6DD5

Model Type AT-FS970M/8

Version Number AWPLUS 2.3.1.0

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

403

2. On the member switch, change its mode from member to command

with the ESTACK COMMAND-SWITCH command.

3. On the original command switch, restart enhanced stacking with the

ESTACK RUN command and, if desired, reestablish its command

mode with the ESTACK COMMAND-SWITCH command. (Disabling

enhanced stacking changes the mode on a command switch from

command to member.)

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

404

Uploading Boot Configuration Files from the Command Switch to

Member Switches

You may use the enhanced stacking feature to transfer boot configuration

files from the file system in the command switch of the enhanced stack to

member switches. This allows you to use the command switch as a central

storage device for the configuration files of the member switches in the

stack and to distribute the files to the switches in the event you need to

restore their configuration settings.

There are three situations where you are likely to find this feature useful:

To restore the configuration to an existing member switch that has

lost its configuration or that has the wrong configuration.

To configure a replacement switch for a failed unit.

To configure a new switch that is to have the same configuration

as another switch.

There are several ways to use the feature. If the member switches share

the same basic configuration, you could create a generic configuration file

that contains most of the configuration settings for the switches in the

stack and store the file on the command switch. To restore the

configuration of a member switch, you could download this file to it from

the command switch and afterwards, manually configure whatever other

settings are needed for that specific member switch.

If the switches have different configurations, a generic configuration file

may not be that useful. Instead, you could store each switch’s unique

configuration file on the command switch so that you can fully restore the

configuration of any of the units.

To use the feature, you first have to store the configuration files of the

member switches on the command switch. You can upload the files from

the switches using TFTP or Zmodem and then download them into the file

system of the command switch, again using TFTP or Zmodem.

The command for transferring configuration files is the UPLOAD CONFIG

REMOTELIST command in the Global Configuration mode. The command

itself does not have any parameters. Instead, it displays two prompts for

the necessary information. The first prompt is shown here:

Enter the configuration file name ->

When you see this prompt, enter the name of the boot configuration file

you want to transfer from the command switch to the member switches.

You may specify just one filename, and the name must include the

extension .cfg.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

405

The second prompt is shown here:

Enter the list of switches ->

At the prompt, enter the enhanced stack numbers of the member switches

to receive the file. You may upload a file to more than one member switch

at a time by separating the numbers with commas. The numbers are

viewed with the SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST command.

There are certain things to know prior to using this feature:

The transfer works from the command switch to the member

switches. You may not use this feature to transfer configuration

files from member switches to the command switch.

You have to store the configuration files of the member switches in

the file system of the command switch. To do that, you have to

upload the files from the member switches using TFTP or Zmodem

and then download them onto the command switch.

Uploading a configuration file that contains the IP ADDRESS or

IPV6 ADDRESS command to more than one switch may cause an

IP address conflict in your network, in which multiple switches have

the same IP address.

A member switch has to be configured for enhanced stacking

before the command switch can upload a configuration file to it.

This means you have to activate enhanced stacking on it, and if the

common VLAN of the enhanced stack is not the Default VLAN, you

have to create the common VLAN on the switch.

When a member switch receives a boot configuration file from the

command switch, it stores the file in its file system as BOOT.CFG.

You may upload any configuration file from the command switch,

even the active boot configuration file.

Here are two examples of the feature. The first example restores a

configuration file to an existing member switch of an enhanced stack. The

example makes the following assumptions:

Enhanced stacking is already activated on the member switch.

The member switch already has the common VLAN that links the

switches of the enhanced stack together.

The name of its configuration file on the command switch is

Eng12c.cfg.

The member switch uses BOOT.CFG as its active boot

configuration file, meaning it will not be necessary to change the

name of the configuration file after is transferred to the member

switch.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

406

Here are the steps to perform on the command switch to upload the

configuration file from its file system to the member switch:

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# show estack remotelist Display the member switches of

the enhanced stack with the

SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST

command to learn the ID number

of the switch to receive the

configuration file.

awplus# dir List the files in the file system of

the command switch to confirm

that it has the configuration file to

upload to the member switch. In

this example, the filename is

Eng12c.cfg file.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# upload config remotelist Enter the UPLOAD CONFIG

REMOTELIST command to begin

the file transfer.

Enter the configuration file name -> Eng12c.cfg At the prompt, enter the name of

the configuration file the command

switch is to upload to the member

switch. The filename in this

example is Eng12c.cfg.

Enter the list of switches -> 3 At the prompt, enter the enhanced

stacking ID number of the member

switch to receive the file. This

number is learned with the SHOW

ESTACK REMOTELIST

command. The example assumes

that the member switch has the ID

number 3.

-At this point, the command switch

sends the file to the member

switch, which stores it in its file

system as BOOT.CFG.

awplus(config_if)# reboot estack member 3 Reboot the member switch so that

it uses the new configuration file to

set its parameters.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

407

Here is another example of the feature. This example uploads a

configuration file to a new switch in an enhanced stack, such as a

replacement switch for a failed unit. This example is more complicated

than the previous example because the stack is not using the Default

VLAN as the common VLAN, and the new switch will not be using

BOOT.CFG as the name of its active boot configuration file. The example

makes the following assumptions:

The common VLAN of the enhanced stack is called Network5a

with the VID 25.

The common VLAN will initially consist of just untagged port 1 on

the new switch.

The name of the boot configuration file to be downloaded to the

new switch stored for the command switch is called SalesE4.cfg

The name of the active boot configuration file on the new switch is

to be actSalesE4.cfg

The first step is to create the common VLAN on the new switch. This is

necessary because the enhanced stack is not using the Default VLAN as

the common VLAN of the stack. To create the common VLAN and to

activate enhanced stacking, perform these steps:

1. Start a local or remote management session on the new switch.

2. Create the common VLAN on the new switch with these commands.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# vlan database Enter the VLAN Interface mode.

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 25 name Network5a Create the Network5a VLAN and

assign it the VID 25.

awplus(config-vlan)# exit Return to the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1 Enter the Port Interface mode for

port 1.

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access Designate the port as an untagged

port.

awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 25 Add port 1 to the Network5a

VLAN.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

408

3. Use the ESTACK RUN command in the Global Configuration mode to

activate enhanced stacking on the switch. It is not necessary to set the

switch to the member mode because that is the default setting.

4. To save the configuration, enter the WRITE command in the Privileged

Executive mode.

5. Connect port 1 on the new switch to a port on another network device

that is a member of the Network5A VLAN, such as the command

switch.

Now that the replacement member switch is connected to the command

switch through the common VLAN of the enhanced stack, you are ready to

upload the SalesE4.cfg configuration file to it from the command switch

with these steps:

1. Start a local or remote management session on the command switch

of the enhanced stack.

2. Transfer the SalesE4.cfg configuration file from the command switch

to the new member switch by performing these commands:

awplus(config-if)# end Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show vlan 12 Verify the new VLAN.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# estack run Activate enhanced stacking on the

new switch.

awplus(config)# exit Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show estack Confirm the stack mode of the

switch.

awplus# write Save the configuration.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# show estack remotelist Display the SHOW ESTACK

REMOTELIST command to learn

the stack ID number of the

replacement member switch.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

409

3. If the new member switch is to use BOOT.CFG as the name of its

active boot configuration file, you complete the replacement procedure

by resetting the switch to configure its parameters with the settings in

the file. But because this example assumes that the name of the active

boot configuration file has to be actSalesE4.cfg, you have to perform a

few additional steps. You need to rename the BOOT.CFG file with the

MOVE command and designate the file as the active boot

configuration file with the BOOT CONFIG-FILE command. You can

perform these tasks through enhanced stacking from the command

switch, as shown in these steps:

awplus# dir List the files in the file system of

the command switch to confirm

that it has the configuration file you

want to upload to the member

switch. In this example, the

filename is Eng12c.cfg file.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# upload config remotelist Enter the UPLOAD CONFIG

REMOTELIST command to begin

the file transfer.

Enter the configuration file name -> SalesE4.cfg At the prompt, enter the name of

the configuration file the command

switch is to upload to the member

switch. In this example, the

filename is SalesE4.cfg.

Enter the list of switches -> 3 At the prompt, enter the enhanced

stacking ID number, learned with

the SHOW ESTACK

REMOTELIST command, of the

member switch to receive the file.

The example assumes that the ID

number of the replacement

member switch is 3.

-At this point, the command switch

sends the file to the member

switch, which stores it in its file

system as BOOT.CFG.

awplus(config)# exit On the command switch, return to

the Privileged Exec mode.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

410

awplus# show estack remotelist Reconfirm the enhanced stacking

ID number of the replacement

member switch.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# rcommand 3 Use the RCOMMAND command

to start a remote management

session on the replacement

member switch. In this example

the ID number of the switch is 3.

Password: ******

Log on the replacement member

switch.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Exec mode.

awplus(config)# move boot.cfg actSalesE4.cfg Rename the boot.cfg configuration

file to actSalesE4.cfg.

awplus(config)# boot config-file actSalesE4.cfg Designate the actSalesE4 file as

the active boot configuration file

on the switch.

awplus(config)# exit Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# exit End your management session of

the replacement member switch to

return the session to the command

switch.

awplus(config)# reboot estack member 3 From the command switch, reboot

the replacement member switch

so that it configures its parameters

with the actSalesE4.cfg

configuration file.

Uploading the Management Software from the Command Switch to

Member Switches

You may use enhanced stacking to install new releases of the

management software on the member switches from the command switch.

After you update the command switch with the new management software,

you can instruct it to upload the software to the member switches for you.

After you receive a new release of the management software and install it

on the command switch, as explained in “Downloading New Management

Software with TFTP” on page 557, you may use the UPLOAD IMAGE

REMOTELIST command to upload the software to the member switches

from the command switch. You may update specific member switches or

all of the switches. The format of the command is shown here:

upload image remotelist

The command, located in the Global Configuration mode, does not have

any parameters and displays this prompt:

Remote switches will reboot after load is complete...

Enter the list of switches ->

When you see this prompt, enter the enhanced stacking ID numbers of the

member switches to receive the management software from the command

switch. The numbers are viewed with the SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST

command in the Privileged Exec mode. You may update the management

software on more than one member switch at a time. To specify more than

one switch, separate the numbers with commas. To update all of the

switches in the enhanced stack, enter ALL.

Here are the steps of the file transfer between the command switch and a

member switch:

1. The command switch sends its management software to the member

switch over the Ethernet link of the common VLAN that connects the

switches of the enhanced stack.

2. After the member switch receives the entire file, it compares the

version numbers of the new management software from the command

switch and its current software.

3. If the version numbers are the same, the switch cancels the update

and discards the file.

4. If the version numbers of the programs are different, the switch writes

the new management software from the command switch into its flash

memory. This phase may take up to one minute to complete.

5. After the file is written to flash memory, the member switch resets.

Chapter 21: Enhanced Stacking

412

Caution

A member switch stops forwarding network traffic after it receives

the management software from the command switch and begins

writing it to flash memory. Some network traffic may be lost.

Caution

Do not power off a member switch while it is writing the software to

flash memory.

Here in this example of the command, the command switch uploads its

management software to two member switches that have the ID numbers,

5 and 6. The procedure assumes that the new management software is

already installed on the command switch.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Exec mode

from the User Exec mode.

awplus# show estack remotelist Display the enhanced stacking ID

numbers of the member switches

in the stack. You should perform

this command even if you intend to

update all of the member

switches, to ensure that the

command switch is aware of all of

the member switches that

comprise the stack.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# upload image remotelist Start the upload with the UPLOAD

IMAGE REMOTELIST command.

Remote switches will reboot after load is

complete ...

Enter the list of switches -> 5,6

At the prompt, enter 5 and 6, the

enhanced stacking ID numbers of

the two member switches to be

upgraded.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

413

Disabling Enhanced Stacking

The command that disables enhanced stacking on a switch is the NO

ESTACK RUN command in the Global Configuration mode, and the

confirmation command is the SHOW ESTACK command in the Privileged

Exec mode.

You may not use the NO ESTACK RUN command when you are

managing a member switch through enhanced stacking. You may only use

the command when you are managing a switch directly, from a local

management session or a remote Telnet, SSH, or web browser session.

When you disable enhanced stacking on a command switch, you may not

use the switch to manage the member switches of an enhanced stack. It

should be noted that disabling enhanced stacking on a command switch

returns the mode to the member switch mode. So if you reactivate

enhanced stacking, the switch is a member switch, unless you change it

again with the ESTACK COMMAND-STACK command.

Here is the command:

awplus> enable

Here are the steps of the file transfer between the command switch and a

member switch:

1. The command switch sends its management software to the member

switch over the Ethernet link of the common VLAN that connects the

switches of the enhanced stack.

2. After the member switch has received the entire file, it compares the

version numbers of the new management software from the command

switch and its current software.

3. If the version numbers are the same, the switch cancels the update

and discards the file.

4. If the version numbers are different, the member switch writes the file

to its flash memory. This phase may take up to one minute to

complete.

5. After the file is written to flash memory, the member switch resets.

Link-flap Protection

This chapter explains link-flap protection. The sections in this chapter

include:

Chapter 23: Link-flap Protection

434

Overview

A port that is unable to maintain a reliable connection to a network node

may experience a condition referred to as link-flapping. This problem,

which is usually caused by intermittent problems with network cables or

network nodes, causes the state of a link on a port to fluctuate up and

down.

A fluctuating link can disrupt more than the connectivity of a single port.

Other switch operations may be affected as well. If, for instance, a

fluctuating link is part of a spanning tree domain or a member of an LACP

trunk, the switch attempts to compensate by redirecting traffic away from

the link when it is down and to the link when it is up. Frequent traffic

redistributions such as this are an inefficient use of the switch’s resources

and can result in the additional loss of traffic.

Link-flap protection minimizes the disruption to your network from this type

of problem. It stabilizes the network topology by automatically disabling

ports that experience link-flap events. A port that is disabled due to link-

flap events remains disabled until you enable it again with the

management software, such as with the standard NO SHUTDOWN

command or the LINK-FLAP PROTECTION command. The switch notifies

you of link-flap events by entering messages in the event logs and

transmitting SNMP traps.

You define the rate and duration that constitute link-flap events. These

values are set at the switch level. The rate defines the number of link

changes that have to occur to signal a link-flap event. A link change is

defined as any time a port loses a link or establishes a link to an end node.

When a port establishes a link to a network node, that represents one link

change. And when a port loses a link, that is another link change. The rate

has a range of 4 to 65,535 changes.

The duration is the time period in which the changes must occur. It has a

range of 20 to 65,535 seconds.

The default values are ten changes for the rate and 60 seconds for the

duration. At these settings, a link-flap event is signaled when a port

experiences ten link changes in one minute. If, as an example, you set the

rate to five changes and the duration to 120 seconds, a link-flap event

occurs when a port’s link changes five times within two minutes.

While the rate and the duration are set at the switch level, link-flap

protection is activated at the port level. This means you can activate it on

just those ports where you believe the problem is most likely to occur or

that are connected to devices that are critical to the functioning of your

network. This feature requires only minimal processing by the switch and

can be activated on all of the switch’s ports without affecting network

performance.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

435

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to link-flap protection:

You can enable this feature on a per-port basis.

The performance of the switch is not affected if you enable it on all

of the ports.

This feature is supported on the base ports and the SFP and XFP

modules in the switches.

Ports that have been disabled by the switch because of link-flap

events do not forward traffic again until you enable them with the

NO SHUTDOWN command or the LINK-FLAP PROTECTION

command.

Chapter 23: Link-flap Protection

436

Configuring the Feature

Here are the commands that are used to configure the link-flap protection

feature. They configure the feature such that link-flap events are defined

as seven link changes in three minutes, and they activate the feature on

ports 11 to 20. To configure this example, enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# link-flap rate 7

awplus(config)# link-flap duration 180

awplus(config)# interface 1.11-1.20

awplus(config-if)# link-flap protection

Chapter 25: Port Mirror

444

Overview

The port mirror is a management tool that allows you to monitor the traffic

on one or more ports on the switch. It works by copying the traffic from

designated ports to another port where the traffic can be monitored with a

network analyzer. The port mirror can be used to troubleshoot network

problems or to investigate possible unauthorized network access. The

performance and speed of the switch is not affected by the port mirror.

To use this feature, you must designate one or more source ports and the

destination port. The source ports are the ports whose packets are to be

mirrored and monitored. The destination port is the port where the packets

from the source ports are copied and where the network analyzer is

connected. There can be only one destination port on the switch.

Here are the guidelines for the port mirror:

The switch supports only one port mirror.

The port mirror can have just one destination port.

The port mirror can have more than one source port. This allows

you to monitor the traffic on multiple ports at the same time. For

example, you might monitor the traffic on all the ports of a

particular VLAN.

You can mirror the ingress traffic, the egress traffic or both on the

source ports.

The destination port should not be a member of a static port trunk

or an LACP trunk.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

445

Creating the Port Mirror or Adding New Source Ports

The command to create the port mirror is the MIRROR INTERFACE

command. You must perform this command from the Port Interface mode

of the destination port of the port mirror. The command has this format:

mirror interface

source_ports

direction

receive|transmit|both

This example configures the port mirror to copy the ingress traffic on the

source port 3 to the destination port 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# mirror interface port1.0.3 direction

receive

The switch immediately begins to copy the monitored traffic from the

source ports to the destination port as soon as you create the port mirror.

To add new source ports to the port mirror, return to the Port Interface

mode of the destination port and enter the same command. For example,

to monitor both the ingress and egress traffic on ports 11 and 12 to the

destination port 5, you enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# mirror interface port1.0.11-port1.0.12

direction both

For reference information, refer to “MIRROR INTERFACE” on page 453.

Chapter 25: Port Mirror

446

Removing Source Ports or Deleting the Port Mirror

To remove source ports from the port mirror, enter the Port Interface mode

of the destination port and issue the NO MIRROR INTERFACE command.

Here is the format of the command:

no mirror interface

source_ports

This example removes source port 2 from the port mirror. The destination

port is port 11:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11

awplus(config-if)# no mirror interface port1.0.2

To stop port mirroring and return the destination port to normal network

operations, remove all of the source ports from the port mirror. For

example, if the source ports of the port mirror were ports 1 to 4, and the

destination port was 18, you would enter these commands to stop the port

mirror and reestablish normal network operations on the destination port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18

awplus(config-if)# no mirror interface port1.0.1-port1.0.4

For reference information, refer to “NO MIRROR INTERFACE” on

page 455.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

447

Combining the Port Mirror with Access Control Lists

You may combine the port mirror with an access control list to monitor a

subset of the ingress traffic on a port. The access control list is used to

specify the ingress traffic to be coped to the destination port of the port

mirror. This feature only works on ingress packets because access control

lists are only effective on those types of packets. You cannot use it to copy

a subset of the egress packets on a port.

You first have to specify the destination port of the port mirror. The switch

can have only one destination port. The command for specifying the

destination port is the MIRROR command in the Port Interface mode. The

mode in which to perform the command is the Port Interface mode of the

port to be the destination port for the monitored traffic the access control

list defines.

You then have to create the access control list and assign it to the port

whose packets you want to monitor. When you create the access control

list, you have to specify the copy-to-mirror action.

Here is an example of the feature. It assumes you want to monitor ports 14

and 15 for ingress packets that have the IP address 149.83.124.95 as their

destination address. The traffic is to be copied to port 18, the destination

port for the port mirror. The access control list is given the ID number

3008.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Exec mode

from the User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18 Enter the Port Interface mode for

port 18, the destination port for the

port mirror.

awplus(config-if)# mirror Enter the MIRROR command to

designate port 18 as the

destination port for the copied

packets.

awplus(config-if)# exit Return to the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# access-list 3008 copy-to-mirror

ip any 149.83.124.95/32

Create the access control list. The

source address is ANY and the

destination address is

149.83.124.95.

Chapter 27: DHCP Relay Overview

460

Overview

The switch has a DHCP relay agent to relay BOOTP messages between

clients and DHCP or BOOTP servers.

A client that transmits a request for an IP configuration to a DHCP or

BOOTP server has to send the request as a broadcast packet because it

does not know the IP address of the server. This can present a problem

when a client and DHCP or BOOTP server reside on different subnets,

because broadcast packets do not cross subnet boundaries. One possible

solution is to have a DHCP or BOOTP server on each subnet where there

are clients, though this could be problematic if there happen to be many

subnets. Another solution is to use a DHCP relay agent, which transfers

client requests across subnet boundaries.

The relay agent does more than simply forward BOOTP requests from

clients to servers. It modifies the requests so that, from the perspective of

the server, it becomes the originator of the request. The responses from

the servers are directed to the agent, which sends the messages on to the

clients as either broadcast or unicast packets, depending on the

requirements of the clients.

To implement the DHCP relay agent on the switch, you need to be familiar

with routing interfaces, which route packets between different local

subnets on the switch in the IPv4 packet routing feature. Each routing

interface functions as the DHCP relay agent for the clients in its subnet,

forwarding BOOTP requests from the clients and responses from the

servers.

If you will be using the IPv4 packet routing feature on all the local subnets,

then, by default, all of the clients will have access to a DHCP relay agent

because each subnet will have a routing interface. However, if IPv4 packet

routing will be limited to some but not all the local subnets of the switch,

then only those BOOTP requests from clients on a subnet with a routing

interface can be forwarded by a DHCP relay agent.

Here is an overview of the process. When a routing interface receives a

BOOTP request with a value of 0.0.0.0 in the gateway (giaddr) field in the

packet, it assumes the request originated from a client on its subnet. In

response, it replaces the value in the field with its IP address and forwards

the packet on to the server. If more than one IP address of DHCP or

BOOTP servers are specified on the switch, the interface sends the same

request to each server. If the client and server reside on the same subnet,

the routing interface does not forward the request.

If an interface receives a BOOTP request with a non-zero value in the

gateway field, it assumes the client who originated the request resides on

another subnet, and so routes the request as a unicast packet without any

change, other than incrementing the hop count.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

461

A routing interface that receives a BOOTP reply from a server inspects the

broadcast flag field in the packet to determine whether the client, in its

original request to the server, set this flag to signal that the response must

be sent as a broadcast datagram. Some older nodes have this

dependency. If the flag is not set, the routing interface forwards the packet

to the originating client as a unicast packet. If the flag is set, the packet is

forwarded as a broadcast by the interface.

You configure the BOOTP relay agent on the switch by specifying the IP

address of the BOOTP server on your network with the ADD BOOTP

RELAY command. You can enter up to eight BOOTP or DHCP servers.

The IP addresses apply to all the routing interfaces on the switch. BOOTP

requests are forwarded to all the specified servers, simultaneously.

You activate the BOOTP relay agent on the switch with the ENABLE

BOOTP RELAY command. As soon as the agent is enabled, the routing

interfaces begin to forward BOOTP requests from the clients. Activating

the client applies to all routing interfaces on the switch. You cannot

activate the agent on some interfaces and not on others. The default

setting for the agent on the switch is disabled.

To view the status of the agent and the IP addresses of the servers, use

the SHOW BOOTP RELAY command.

These guidelines apply to the DHCP relay agent:

You can specify up to five DHCP or BOOTP servers on the switch.

Because both BOOTP and DHCP use BOOTP messages, the

DHCP relay agents can relay both their packets.

The relay agent supports IPv4 address interfaces, but not IPv6

address interfaces.

DHCP Relay

Agent Option 82

The DCHP option-82 feature enables the switch to insert extra information

into the DHCP packets it relays. This information enables more accurate

identification of a subscriber, as it states which switch port on which relay

switch the subscriber is connected to. The information is stored in a

specific optional field in the DHCP packet, namely, the agent-information

field, which has option ID 82.

The DHCP relay agent inserts the option 82 information into the DHCP

packets that it is relaying to a DHCP server. DHCP servers that are

configured to recognize option 82 may use the information to implement IP

addresses, or other parameter assignment policies, based on the network

location of the client device. Alternatively, the server can simply log this

information to create a detailed audit trail of the locations of the clients to

which given addresses were allocated at given times.

To set the DHCP relay option 82, refer to “Configuring the DHCP Relay

Option 82” on page 467

Chapter 27: DHCP Relay Overview

462

Client Requests

with Option 82

The previous discussion deals with cases where DHCP requests do not

already contain option-82 information. However, it is possible that the

requests arriving from the clients to the relay agent could already contain

option-82 information. There are two main circumstances in which this can

occur:

1. A client is maliciously inserting bogus information into the packet in an

attempt to subvert the process of identifying the client’s location.

2. A layer-2 DHCP snooping switch, that sits between the clients and the

DCHP relay, is validly inserting the option-82 information into the

packets. The DHCP snooping switch is not acting as a relay agent, so

it is not filling in the giaddr field (the relay IP address field) in the

packet; it is only inserting the option-82 information.

In case 1, you would want to drop the packets that contain the bogus

information (or, at least remove the bogus information). In case 2, you

would want to forward the valid information to the DHCP server.

To configure the switch to check for the presence of option-82 information

in incoming DHCP requests, configure DHCP-relay agent-option

checking, with the command (in interface mode), use “IP DHCP-RELAY

AGENT-OPTION CHECKING” on page 475.

By default, this will cause the switch to act as follows:

If the incoming DHCP request has a null IP address (0.0.0.0) in the

giaddr field, and contains option-82 information, drop the packet.

This assumes that such a packet has been maliciously created by

a client.

If an incoming DHCP request has a non-null in the giaddr field, and

contains option-82 information, then replace the option-82 field

with the current switch’s own information. This assumes that a

non-null giaddr field indicates that the packet has already passed

through a valid DHCP relay device, and so the presence of the

option-82 information is not an indication of malicious intent.

The action taken on packets that have a null giaddr field and an option-82

field present cannot be altered once the agent-option check has been

enabled. But, the action taken on packets with a non-null giaddr field and

an option-82 field can be configured. The command to configure this

action is “IP DHCP-RELAY INFORMATION POLICY” on page 476.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

463

The possible actions are listed here:

Leave the existing option-82 field untouched

Append its own option-82 field after the existing field

Drop the packet

Replace the existing option-82 information with its own (the default)

DHCP Relay

Agent Option 82

Maximum

Message Length

When a DHCP relay agent (that has the option 82 insertion enabled)

receives a request packet from a DHCP client, it appends the option 82

component data and forwards the packet to the DHCP server. The DHCP

client sometimes issues packets containing pad option fields that can be

overwritten with option 82 data. Where there are insufficient pad option

fields to contain all the option 82 data, the DHCP relay increases the

packet size to accommodate the option 82 data. If the new (increased)

packet size exceeds a defined maximum length, the DHCP relay will drop

the packet. To set the maximum packet length, refer to “Configuring the

DHCP Relay Option 82” on page 467.

Configuring the DHCP Relay Agent

Here are the procedures to configuring the DHCP relay agent:

“Adding the IP Addresses of the DHCP Servers” on page 464

“Activating or Deactivating DHCP Relay on the Switch” on page 469

Adding the IP

Addresses of the

DHCP Servers

The first step to configuring the relay agent is to specify the IP addresses

of the DHCP servers on your network, with the IP DHCP-RELAY

SERVER-ADDRESS command in the Global Configuration mode. You

can specify up to five addresses. This example of the command adds the

two DHCP server addresses 149.23.22.143 and 149.23.104.23 to the

relay agent.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Exec mode

from the User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# ip dhcp-relay server-address

149.23.22.143

awplus(config)# ip dhcp-relay server-address

149.23.104.23

Specify the IP addresses of the

DHCP servers with the IP DHCP-

RELAY SERVER-ADDRESS

command.

awplus(config)# exit Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

465

Adding DHCP

Relay to the

VLANs

A VLAN has to have an IP address interface before you can add the

DHCP relay agent to it. The agent needs an IP address to add to the

DHCP and BOOTP requests it relays from the VLAN. So if the VLAN does

not already have an IP address interface, you have to create it before

adding the relay agent.

The command for adding an IP address interface to a VLAN is the IP

ADDRESS command in the VLAN Configuration mode. A VLAN may have

only one IP address. The format of the command is shown here:

ip address

ipaddress

mask

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IPv4 management address the VLAN

is to be assigned. The address is specified in this format:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Each NNN is a decimal number from 0 to 255. The numbers must be

separated by periods.

The MASK parameter is a decimal number that represents the number of

bits, from left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address.

Here are a couple of basic examples:

The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.0.0.

The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the mask 255.255.255.0.

After assigning the VLAN an IP address interface, you may add the DHCP

relay agent to it with the IP DHCP-RELAY command. The command,

found in the VLAN Configuration mode, does not have any parameters.

Here is an example of the commands. The DHCP relay agent is assigned

to a VLAN with the VID 28, and the IP address 149.23.32.41 and mask

255.255.255.0:

awplus# show ip dhcp-relay Confirm the IP addresses with the

Chapter 29: Group Link Control

490

Overview

Group link control is designed to improve the effectiveness of the

redundant systems in a network. It enables the switch to alert network

devices about problems they might not otherwise detect or respond to, so

that they can implement their redundant systems, automatically.

The feature works by duplicating the link states of ports on other ports. If a

port does not have a link or loses a link, the switch duplicates the link state

on one or more other ports by disabling them.

To use the feature, you create groups of ports. The ports in a group are

referred to as upstream and downstream ports. In networking parlance,

the term “upstream” points towards a network core and “downstream”

points towards the edge of a network. So an upstream port would be

connected to a device at or towards the core of a network while a

downstream port would be connected to a device at or leading to the edge

of a network.

These definitions may or may not apply to the ports in the groups you

create with group link control. It all depends on how you use the feature. In

some cases, the upstream port of a group will indeed be connected to a

device that leads to a network core while the downstream port is

connected to a different device at or towards the edge of a network. But in

other cases, this might not be true because the ports are connected to the

same device.

Instead, it might be better to think of the upstream port of a group as the

control port because it determines the possible link states of the

downstream port. The switch allows the downstream port in a group to

establish a link to its network device only if the upstream port already has

a link to a network node. If the upstream port does not have a link or loses

its link, the switch disables the downstream port to prevent it from

establishing a link. This notifies the device connected to the downstream

port that there is no connectivity on the upstream port.

There are two basic approaches to using this feature. One approach is to

create groups of ports that lead to different devices on the switch. This

approach is useful with network servers. The second approach is to group

ports that go to the same device. This is useful with static port trunks and

LACP trunks in a spanning tree topology.

It should be noted that group link control does not control the switching of

packets within the switch. It is just about the link states of the ports and

about transferring the states to other ports. This feature is illustrated in the

following figures.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

491

In the first diagram a server with two teamed network adapter cards is

connected to different switches, with the active link to switch 3. If there is a

failure on the active link, the server can detect it directly and would

respond by automatically transferring the traffic to the redundant network

interface and the secondary path, which leads to switch 4.

Figure 102. Group Link Control Example 1

But if the failure occurs further upstream between switches 1 and 3, as

shown in Figure 103 on page 492, the server, unaware of the problem,

loses connectivity to the network. It continues to transmit packets to switch

3, which discards the packets.

Chapter 29: Group Link Control

492

Figure 103. Group Link Control Example 2

With group link control you can address this problem by creating on switch

3 a group of the two ports that connect to switch 1 and the server. Thus,

any change to the link state of the port connected to switch 1 is

automatically transferred to the port connected to the server.

Assume that switch 3 is connected to switch 1 with port 17 and to the

server with port 24, as shown in Figure 104 on page 493. If you group the

two ports with group link control such that port 17 is the upstream or

control port of the group and port 24 is the downstream port, a loss of the

link on port 17 causes the switch to disable port 24, dropping the

connection to the server. The server, having lost connectivity to switch 3,

responds by activating its alternate network interface and transferring the

traffic to switch 4.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

493

Figure 104. Group Link Control Example 3

When a link on an upstream port is reestablished, the switch automatically

reactivates the downstream counterpart. Referring to the example, when

the link on port 17 is reestablished, the switch enables port 24 again.

A link control group can have more than one upstream or downstream

port. This enables it to support static port trunks and LACP trunks. When a

group has two or more upstream ports, all of the upstream ports must lose

connectivity before the switch disables the downstream ports. This is

illustrated in Figure 105 on page 494 where a link control group on switch

3 has two upstream ports, ports 17 and 20, and two downstream ports,

port 24 and 25. If connectivity is lost on just port 17, the downstream ports

are not disabled.

Chapter 29: Group Link Control

494

Figure 105. Group Link Control Example 4

If connectivity is lost on both ports 17 and 20, the downstream ports 24

and 25 are disabled.

Figure 106. Group Link Control Example 5

In the previous examples, the ports of the groups on the switch are

connected to different devices, making it possible for downstream devices

to know whether or not there are links to upstream devices. Another

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

495

approach is to create groups in which the ports are connected to the same

network node. This is useful in network topologies where redundant static

port trunks or LACP trunks are controlled by the spanning tree protocol. If

a primary trunk loses bandwidth capacity because connectivity is lost on

one or more of the links and there is a redundant trunk held in the blocking

state by the spanning tree protocol, it may be advantageous to shut down

an impaired trunk and activate a redundant trunk, to restore full bandwidth.

This is illustrated in this figure. Switch 1 and switch 3 are connected with a

static or LACP trunk of three links. A backup trunk from switch 2 to switch

3 is placed in the blocking state by the spanning tree protocol to prevent a

network loop.

Figure 107. Group Link Control Example 6

Let’s assume you want switch 3 to shut down the primary trunk to switch 1

if the active trunk loses one link. For this, you would create a series of

groups to cover all of the possible combinations. Each port is designated

as an uplink port in one group and a downstream port in the other groups.

There are three possible combinations, as shown in this table. The order

of the groups is unimportant.

Table 47. Link Control Groups on Switch 3 in Example 6

Link Control

Group Upstream Port Downstream Ports

178, 9

287, 9

Chapter 29: Group Link Control

496

Only one group has to be true for the switch to shut down the ports of the

trunk. If, for instance, port 8 loses connectivity, making group 2 true, the

switch shuts down ports 7 and 9. When connectivity is restored on port 8,

it enables ports 7 and 9 again.

In this example, the primary and backup trunks have four links each.

Figure 108. Group Link Control Example 7

If you want switch 3 to shut down the primary trunk if two links are lost, you

create six groups to cover all of the possible combinations. The groups are

listed in Table 48 on page 497. As mentioned previously, only one of the

groups has to be true for the switch to disable the remaining ports in the

trunk. For instance, a loss of connectivity on ports 8 and 10 makes group 5

true, causing the switch to disable ports 7 and 9, which shuts down the

trunk. If a link is reestablished on either port 8 or 10, the switch activates

ports 7 and 9 again.

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to group link control:

The switch or stack can support up to eight groups.

A group can have any number of ports, up to the total number of

ports on the switch.

Ports can be members of more than one group. Ports can also be

upstream and downstream ports in different groups. Ports,

however, cannot be both upstream and downstream ports in the

same group.

When creating a new group, add the upstream ports before the

downstream ports. Otherwise, the switch will disable the

downstream ports.

Group link control passes the link states of the upstream ports to

the downstream ports, but not the reverse. Changes to the states

of the downstream ports are not transferred to the upstream ports.

A group is active as soon as you create it.

The downstream ports of a new group immediately stop forwarding

traffic if the upstream ports do not have links.

When a downstream port is disabled by group link control, it

remains in that state until the upstream port of the group

establishes a link to a network device or you remove the

downstream port from the group, or delete the group, and issue the

NO SHUTDOWN command on the port. For instructions, refer to

“Enabling or Disabling Ports” on page 184 or “NO GROUP-LINK-

CONTROL” on page 508.

You cannot prioritize the groups on the switch.

Copying Boot Configuration Files

Maintaining a history of the configuration settings of the switch can prove

useful in the event you need to undo recent changes and return the device

to an earlier configuration. The best way to compile a configuration history

of the unit is by periodically copying the active boot configuration file.

The command for copying boot configuration files is the COPY command

in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is the format:

copy

sourcefile.

cfg

destinationfile.

cfg

The SOURCEFILE parameter specifies the name of the boot configuration

file you want to copy. The DESTINATIONFILE parameter specifies the

name of the new copy. The name can be up to 16 alphanumeric

characters and must include the extension “.cfg”. Spaces are not allowed.

This command creates a copy of the configuration file “unit12.cfg” in the

switch’s file system and names the copy “unit24.cfg”:

awplus# copy unit12.cfg unit24.cfg

Note

Allied Telesis recommends that you periodically upload the active

boot configuration file of the switch to a network device, so that if the

switch should fail and become inoperable, the uploaded files will be

available to quickly configure its replacement. For instructions on

how to upload boot configuration files, refer to Chapter 36, “File

Transfer” on page 555.

Chapter 32: File System

524

Renaming Boot Configuration Files

To rename boot configuration files in the file system, use the MOVE

command, found in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is the format:

move

filename1

.cfg

filename2

.cfg

The FILENAME1 variable is the name of the file to be renamed and the

FILENAME2 variable is the file’s new name. The filenames cannot contain

spaces or special characters.

This example renames the “Sales2sw.cfg” boot configuration file to

“unit12a.cfg:”

awplus> enable

awplus# move Sales2sw.cfg unit12a.cfg

Note

If you rename the active boot configuration file, you will have to

designate another active boot configuration file before the switch will

allow you to save new parameter settings. For instructions on how to

designate the active boot configuration file, refer to “Specifying the

Active Boot Configuration File” on page 539.

Note

If you rename the active boot configuration file and reset the switch,

the switch restores the default settings to all its parameter settings.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

525

Deleting Boot Configuration Files

If the file system becomes cluttered with unnecessary configuration files,

you use the DELETE command in the Privileged Exec mode to delete

them. The format of the command is:

delete

filename.ext

This example deletes the configuration file “unit2a.cfg”:

awplus# delete unit2a.cfg

Note

If you delete the active boot configuration file, you will have to

designate another active boot configuration file before the switch will

allow you to save new parameter settings. If you delete the active

boot configuration file and reset the switch, the switch returns to its

default settings. For instructions on how to designate the active boot

configuration file, refer to “Specifying the Active Boot Configuration

File” on page 539.

Displaying the Specifications of the File System

The User Exec mode and the Privileged Exec mode have a command that

lets you display the size of the file system, the amount of free space, and

the amount of space used by the files currently stored in the file system. It

is the SHOW FILE SYSTEMS command. Here is an example of the

information.

Chapter 34: Boot Configuration Files

538

Overview

The changes that you make to the parameters settings of the switch are

saved as a series of commands in a special file in the file system. The file

is referred to as the active boot configuration file. This file is updated by

the switch with your latest changes whenever you issue the WRITE

command or the COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG

command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Once the parameter settings are saved in the active boot configuration file,

they are retained even when the switch is powered off or reset. This saves

you from having to reconfigure the parameter settings every time you

power off or reset the unit. The switch, as part of its initialization process

whenever it is powered on or reset, automatically refers to this file to set its

parameter settings.

You can store more than one boot configuration file in the file system on

the switch, but only one file can be the active file at a time. The active boot

configuration file is specified with the BOOT CONFIG-FILE command, in

the Privileged Exec mode.

There are a couple of situations where you might want to specify a

different active boot configuration file on the switch. You might want to

reconfigure the switch with the settings in a new file that you downloaded

into the file system. Or perhaps you want to restore a previous

configuration on the switch, using a copy of an earlier version of the active

boot configuration file.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

539

Specifying the Active Boot Configuration File

To create or designate a new active boot configuration file for the switch,

use the BOOT CONFIG-FILE command in the Global Configuration mode.

Here is the format of the command;

boot config-file

filename

.cfg

The FILENAME.CFG parameter is the file name of the configuration file to

act as the active boot configuration file for the switch. This can be the

name of an entirely new file that does not exist yet in the file system, or an

existing file. The filename can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters

and must include the “.cfg” extension. The filename is case sensitive. To

verify the name of an existing file, use the DIR command in the Privileged

Exec mode to display the names of the files in the file system.

The BOOT CONFIG-FILE command is unique from all the other

commands that are used to configure the parameters on the switch. After

you enter the command, the switch permanently remembers the filename

of the new active boot configuration file, without you having to enter the

WRITE command or the COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG

command. In fact, you probably will not want to enter either of those

commands after you specify a new active boot configuration file, because

that would cause the switch to overwrite the settings in the file with the

current settings.

After you enter the command, it does one of two things, depending on

whether the filename is of a new or an existing file. If the filename is of an

entirely new boot configuration file, the switch automatically creates it,

stores the current parameter settings in it, and finally designates it as the

active boot configuration.

If you specify the filename of an existing boot configuration file in the file

system, the switch marks it as the active boot configuration file, at which

point you need to make a choice.

To reconfigure the switch with the settings in the newly designated

active boot configuration file, reset the switch with the REBOOT

command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Caution

The switch does not forward packets while it is initializing its

management software. Some network traffic may be lost.

To overwrite the settings in the file with the switch’s current

settings, enter the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG

STARTUP-CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Chapter 34: Boot Configuration Files

540

Here are a couple examples of the command. The first example creates a

new active boot configuration file called “sw_product4.cfg”:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file sw_product4.cfg

After you enter the command, the switch creates the file in its file system,

updates it with the current parameter settings, and finally marks it as the

active boot configuration file. The file is now ready to store any new

parameter settings you might make to the switch.

In this example, the settings of the switch are configured using a different

boot configuration file in the file system. Perhaps it is an archive copy of an

early configuration of the unit or perhaps a boot configuration file you

downloaded from another switch. In either case, this will require rebooting

the switch. The name of the file is “sw12_eng.cfg”:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file sw12_eng.cfg

awplus(config)# exit

awplus# reboot

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

541

Creating a New Boot Configuration File

It is a good idea to periodically make copies of the current configuration of

the switch so that you can return the switch to an earlier configuration, if

necessary. For this there is the COPY RUNNING-CONFIG command in

the Privileged Exec mode. The command has this format:

copy running-config

filename

.cfg

The name of the new boot configuration file, specified with the FILENAME

parameter, can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not including the

extension “.cfg”. If you specify the name of an existing file, the new file

overwrites the existing file.

It is important to understand that this command does not change the

switch’s active boot configuration file. That file remains unchanged. All this

command does is create a new boot configuration file of the current

parameter settings in the file system. If you want to change the active boot

configuration file, use the BOOT CONFIG-FILE command, explained in

“Specifying the Active Boot Configuration File” on page 539.

This example of the COPY RUNNING-CONFIG command creates a new

boot configuration file called “sw_sales_archive.cfg” in the file system:

awplus> enable

awplus# copy running-config sw_sales_archive.cfg

Chapter 34: Boot Configuration Files

542

Displaying the Active Boot Configuration File

To display the name of the active boot configuration file on the switch, go

to the Privileged Exec mode and enter the SHOW BOOT command. Here

is the command:

awplus# show boot

Here is an example of the information.

Figure 112. SHOW BOOT Command

The “Current boot config” field displays the name of the active boot

configuration file, which for the switch in the example is “switch2.cfg.” The

rest of the fields are defined in Table 57 on page 550.

filename

Specifies the name of a boot configuration file that is to act as the

active boot configuration file on the switch. The filename can be

from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters. The extension must be

“.cfg”.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to designate the active boot configuration file on the

switch. The switch uses the file to save its parameter settings when you

issue the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG

command, and to restore its parameter settings when you reset or power

cycle the unit.

To create a new active boot configuration file, enter a new filename in the

command. The command automatically creates the file, updates it with the

current settings of the switch, and designates it as the active boot

configuration file.

To specify an existing boot configuration file as the new active file on the

switch, include the file’s name in the command. The switch marks it as the

active boot configuration file. Afterwards, do one of the following:

To reconfigure the switch with the settings in the newly designated

active boot configuration file, reset the switch with the REBOOT

command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Caution

The switch does not forward packets while it is initializing its

management software. Some network traffic may be lost.

To overwrite the settings in the file with the switch’s current

settings, enter the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG

STARTUP-CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW BOOT” on page 550.

Examples

This example designates a file called “region2asw.cfg” as the switch’s

active configuration file. This example assumes that the file is completely

new. The switch creates the file, with its current parameter settings, and

then designates it as the active boot configuration file:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file region2asw.cfg

This example designates the file “sw12a.cfg” as the switch’s active

configuration file. The example assumes that the file already exists in the

file system of the switch and that you want to reconfigure the switch

according to the settings in the file:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file sw12a.cfg

awplus(config)# exit

address of the first hop to the network of the TFTP server.

There must be a TFTP server on your network.

The TFTP server must be active.

Downloading

New

Management

Software with

TFTP

To use TFTP to download new management software to the switch:

Caution

This procedure causes the switch to reset. The switch does not

forward network traffic while it writes the new software to flash

memory and initializes the software. Some network traffic may be

lost.

1. Obtain the new management software from the Allied Telesis web site

and store it on the TFTP server on your network. For information on

how to obtain management software from Allied Telesis, refer to

“Contacting Allied Telesis” on page 48.

2. Start a local or remote management session on the switch.

3. To view the current version number of the management software on

the unit to determine whether the switch needs the new firmware, use

the SHOW SYSTEM command in the User Exec mode or the SHOW

SWITCH command in the Privileged Exec mode.

4. The command for downloading files to the switch with TFTP is the

COPY TFTP FLASH command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is

the format of the command:

copy tftp flash

ipaddress filename

.img

Chapter 36: File Transfer

558

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the TFTP server, and

the FILENAME parameter is the name of the new management

software file to be downloaded to the switch from the TFTP server. The

filename must include the “.img” extension and cannot contain spaces.

In this example of the command, the IP address of the TFTP server is

149.11.124.5 and the filename of the new management software to be

downloaded from the server is “at-FS970M_sw.img”:

awplus# copy tftp flash 149.11.124.5 AT-FS970M_sw.img

After receiving the entire file from the TFTP server, the switch

compares the version numbers of the new image file and its current

management software. If the new image file has an earlier or the same

version number as the current management software, the switch

cancels the update procedure. If the new image file has a newer

version number, the switch writes the file into flash memory and then

resets.

5. Wait for the switch to write the new management software to flash

memory.

6. To resume managing the switch, start a new management session

after the switch has reset.

7. To confirm the new management software on the switch, use the

SHOW SYSTEM command in the User Exec mode or the SHOW

SWITCH command in the Privileged Exec mode to check the version

number of the management software on the switch.

Downloading

Files to the

Switch with

To use TFTP to download boot configuration files or CA certificates to the

switch:

1. Store the file on the TFTP server on your network.

2. Start a local management session or a remote Telnet or SSH

management session on the switch.

3. The command for downloading files to the switch with TFTP is the

COPY TFTP FLASH command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is

the format of the command:

copy tftp flash

ipaddress filename.exe

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the TFTP server. The

FILENAME parameter is the name of the file you want to download

from the TFTP server to the switch. The filename extension must be

“.cfg” for boot configuration files and “.pem” for CA certificates. The

filename cannot contain spaces.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

559

In this example of the command, the IP address of the TFTP server is

152.34.67.8, and the filename of the boot configuration to be

downloaded from the server is “switch2a.cfg”:

awplus# copy tftp flash 152.34.67.8 switch2a.cfg

After receiving the entire file, the switch stores it in the file system.

4. To confirm that the switch received the file, use the DIR command in

the Privileged Exec mode to list the files in the file system.

5. If you downloaded a boot configuration file that you want to designate

as the active boot configuration file on the switch, use the BOOT

CONFIG-FILE command in the Global Configuration mode:

boot config-file

filename

.cfg

This example of the command designates “switch1a.cfg” as the

switch’s new active boot configuration file:

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# boot config-file switch1a.cfg

6. At this point, do one of the following:

To configure the switch using the settings in the newly designated

active boot configuration file, reset the switch with the REBOOT

command in the Privileged Exec mode.

Caution

The switch does not forward packets while initializing the

management software. Some network traffic may be lost.

page 1896.)

Chapter 36: File Transfer

560

To upload a file from the file system of the switch using TFTP:

1. Start a local or remote management session on the switch.

2. Use the DIR command in the Privileged Exec mode to confirm the

name of the file you want to upload from the file system in the switch.

3. The command for uploading files from the switch with TFTP is the

COPY FLASH TFTP command in the Privileged Exec mode. Here is

the format of the command:

copy flash tftp

ipaddress filename

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the TFTP server

residing on your network. The FILENAME parameter is the name of

the file to be uploaded from the switch to the TFTP server. The

filename can not contain spaces and must include the appropriate

extension.

This example of the command uploads the boot configuration file

“sw_unit_12.cfg” from the file system to a TFTP server that has the IP

address 123.32.45.3:

awplus# copy flash tftp 123.32.45.3 sw_unit_12.cfg

This example uploads the technical support file “tech-support-

20100601091645.txt” from the file system to a TFTP server that has

the IP address 149.152.201.25:

awplus# copy flash tftp 149.152.201.25 tech-support-

Downloading Files with Enhanced Stacking

If you are using the enhanced stacking feature, you can automate the

process of updating the management software in the switches by having

the command switch download its management software to the other

switches in the stack.

Caution

The switch automatically resets when it receives a new version of

the management software. It does not forward network traffic while it

writes the new software to flash memory and initializes the software.

Some network traffic may be lost.

To update the management software of the switches in an enhanced

stack:

1. Update the management software on the command switch of the

enhanced stack by performing one of the previous procedures in this

chapter.

2. After you have updated the management software on the command

switch, start a new local or remote session on it.

4. Enter the ID numbers of the switches to receive the management

software from the command switch. The ID numbers are the numbers

in the Num column in the SHOW ESTACK REMOTELIST command.

You can update more than one switch at a time. For example, to

update switches 1 and 2 in Figure 114 on page 564, you would enter:

Remote switches will reboot after load is complete.

Enter the list of switches -> 1,2

The command switch starts the download process with the first switch.

After downloading its management software to that switch, it repeats

the process with the next switch, and so on.

After a switch has received from the command switch the entire

management software file, it compares the version numbers of the new

image file and its current management software. If the new image file

has an earlier or the same version number as the current management

software, it cancels the update procedure. If the new image file has a

newer version number, the switch writes the file into flash memory and

Overview

IGMP snooping allows the switch to control the flow of multicast packets

from its ports. It enables the switch to forward packets of multicast groups

to only ports that have host nodes that want to join the multicast groups.

IGMP is used by IPv4 routers to create lists of nodes that are members of

multicast groups. (A multicast group is a group of end nodes that want to

receive multicast packets from a multicast application.) The router creates

a multicast membership list by periodically sending out queries to the local

area networks connected to its ports.

A node that wants to become a member of a multicast group responds to a

query by sending a report. A report indicates that an end node wants to

become a member of a multicast group. Nodes that join a multicast group

are referred to as host nodes. After joining a multicast group, a host node

must continue to periodically issue reports to remain a member.

After the router has received a report from a host node, it notes the

multicast group that the host node wants to join and the port on the router

where the node is located. Any multicast packets belonging to that

multicast group are then forwarded by the router out the port. If a particular

port on the router has no nodes that want to be members of multicast

groups, the router does not send multicast packets out the port. This

improves network performance by restricting the multicast packets only to

router ports where host nodes are located.

There are three versions of IGMP— versions 1, 2, and 3. One of the

differences between the versions is how a host node signals that it no

longer wants to be a member of a multicast group. In version 1, it stops

sending reports. If a router does not receive a report from a host node

after a predefined length of time, referred to as a time-out value, it

assumes that the host node no longer wants to receive multicast frames

and removes it from the membership list of the multicast group.

In version 2, a host node exits from a multicast group by sending a leave

request. After receiving a leave request from a host node, the router

removes the node from the appropriate membership list. The router also

stops sending multicast packets out the port to which the node is

connected if it determines there are no further host nodes on the port.

Version 3 adds the ability to register multiple groups using a group list

within a single packet.

The IGMP snooping feature on the switch supports all three versions of

IGMP. The switch monitors the flow of queries from routers, and reports

leave messages from host nodes to build its own multicast membership

lists. It uses the lists to forward multicast packets only to switch ports

where there are host nodes that are members of multicast groups. This

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

579

improves switch performance and network security by restricting the flow

of multicast packets to only those switch ports that are connected to host

nodes.

If the switch is not using IGMP snooping and receives multicast packets, it

floods the packets out all its ports, except the port on which it received the

packets. Such flooding of packets can negatively impact network

performance.

The switch maintains its list of multicast groups through an adjustable

timeout value, which controls how frequently it expects to see reports from

end nodes that want to remain members of multicast groups, and by

processing leave requests.

Note

The default setting for IGMP snooping on the switch is enabled.

Understanding

Multicast Traffic

Settings

By default, IGMP snooping is disabled on the switch. As a result, this

setting can impact multicast settings on a port. When you block egress or

ingress multicast packets on a port and the switch is set to IGMP snooping

disabled, the result is that all reports are suppressed on the specified ports

except for reserved multicast addresses.

When you enable IGMP Snooping by executing the IP IGMP SNOOPING

command, all unknown multicast traffic is unsuppressed and floods the

switch ports except for IPv4 reserved addresses 224.0.0.1 through

224.0.0.255. To enable the suppression of unknown multicast traffic, see

“Enabling the Suppression of Unknown Multicast Traffic”.

For information about how to block egress and ingress multicast packets,

see “SWITCHPORT BLOCK EGRESS-MULTICAST” on page 516 and

“SWITCHPORT BLOCK INGRESS-MULTICAST” on page 517.

Enabling the

Suppression of

Unknown

Multicast Traffic

IGMP snooping does not suppress all unknown multicast traffic except for

IPv4 reserved addresses in the range of 224.0.0.1 to 224.0.0.255 by

default. To suppress the flooding, use the NO IP IGMP SNOOPING

FLOOD-UNKNOWN-MCAST command. When you execute this

command, all unknown multicast traffic is suppressed prior to a join

message. Once a join message is accepted for the specified multicast

destination, it is no longer considered an unknown destination and,

therefore, no longer floods. For more information about this command, see

“IP IGMP SNOOPING FLOOD-UNKNOWN-MCAST” on page 592.

Chapter 38: Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping

580

Host Node Topology

The switch has a host node topology setting. You use this setting to define

whether there is more than one host node on each port on the switch. The

switch refers to the topology to determine whether or not to continue

transmitting multicast packets from ports that receive leave requests or

where host nodes time out due to inactivity. The possible topology settings

are:

Single-host per port

Multiple-hosts per port

Single-host Per

Port

This is the appropriate setting when there is only one host node connected

to each port on the switch. When this topology setting is enabled, the

switch immediately stops sending multicast packets from ports on which

host nodes have sent leave requests or have timed out. The switch

responds by immediately ceasing the transmission of additional multicast

packets out the ports.

Multiple-hosts

Per Port

The multiple-hosts per port setting is appropriate when the ports are

connected to more than one host node, such as when ports are connected

to other Ethernet switches where there are multiple host nodes. With this

setting selected, the switch continues sending multicast packets out a port

even after it receives a leave request from a host node. This ensures that

the remaining active host nodes on a port continue to receive the multicast

packets. Only after all the host nodes connected to a switch port have

transmitted leave requests, or have timed out, does the switch stop

sending multicast packets out a port.

If the switch has a mixture of host nodes, that is, some connected directly

to the switch and others through other Ethernet switches or hubs, you

should select the multiple-hosts per port setting.

Enabling IGMP Snooping

The command to enable IGMP Snooping on the switch is the IP IGMP

SNOOPING command in the Global Configuration mode. After you enter

the command, the switch begins to build its multicast table as queries from

the multicast router and reports from the host nodes arrive on its ports. To

enable IGMP Snooping:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip igmp snooping

Configuring the IGMP Snooping Commands

This table lists the IGMP Snooping commands with the exception of the

enable, disable, and display commands which are described in other

sections of this chapter.

Most of the commands are found in the Global Configuration mode. The

following examples illustrate the commands. The first example clears all

IGMP group membership records on all VLANs:

awplus> enable

awplus(config)# clear ip igmp

This example limits the switch to two multicast groups and specifies that

there is only one host node per port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip igmp limit 2

awplus(config)# ip igmp status single

For more information about these commands, see “IP IGMP LIMIT” on

page 589 and “IP IGMP STATUS” on page 595.

This example configures the switch to time out inactive host nodes after 50

seconds and designates port 4 as a multicast router port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip igmp querier-timeout 50

awplus(config)# ip igmp snooping mrouter interface port1.0.4

For more information about these commands, see “IP IGMP QUERIER-

TIMEOUT” on page 590 and “IP IGMP SNOOPING MROUTER” on

page 594.

This example disables the suppression of unknown multicast traffic:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip igmp snooping

awplus(config)# ip igmp snooping flood-unknown-mcast

For more information about this command, see “IP IGMP SNOOPING

FLOOD-UNKNOWN-MCAST” on page 592.

This example reactivates the auto-detection of multicast router ports by

removing the static router port 4:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no ip igmp snooping mrouter interface

port1.0.4

For more information about this command, see “NO IP IGMP SNOOPING

MROUTER” on page 597.

Disabling IGMP Snooping

The command to disable IGMP Snooping on the switch is the NO IP IGMP

SNOOPING command in the Global Configuration mode. To disable

IGMP Snooping:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no ip igmp snooping

When IGMP Snooping is disabled, the switch floods the multicast packets

on all ports, except on ports that receive the packets.

timeout

Parameters

timeout

Specifies the time period in seconds used by the switch to identify

inactive host nodes and multicast routers. The range is from 0 to

65535 seconds. The default is 255 seconds. Setting the timeout to

zero (0) disables the timer.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to specify the time period the switch uses to identify

inactive host nodes and multicast routers. The time period is in seconds.

A host node is deemed inactive if the switch does not receive any IGMP

reports from it for the duration of the timer. The switch stops transmitting

multicast packets from a port of an inactive host node if there are no

additional host nodes.

A multicast router is deemed inactive if the switch does not receive any

queries from it for the duration of the timer.

The actual timeout may be 10 seconds less that the specified value. For

example, a setting of 25 seconds can result in the switch classifying a host

node or multicast router as inactive after only 15 seconds. A setting of 10

seconds or less can result in the immediate timeout of inactive host nodes

or routers.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW IP IGMP SNOOPING” on page 598

Example

This example sets the timeout for inactive host nodes and multicast

routers to 400 seconds:

602

Overview

Multicast routers are an essential part of IP multicasting. They send out

queries to the network nodes to determine group memberships, route the

multicast packets across networks, and maintain lists of the multicast

groups and the ports where group members are located.

IGMP snooping querier can be used in place of multicast routers in

situations where IP multicasting is restricted to a single LAN, without the

need for routing. This feature enables the switch to mimic a multicast

router by sending out general IGMP queries to the host nodes.

IGMP snooping querier supports IGMP version 2.

The switch must have an IP address to add to the queries as its source

address. In addition, the address must be a member of the same network

as the host nodes and the multicasting source. You assign an IP address

to the switch by creating a routing interface in the VLAN. Then apply the IP

address to the VLAN where it sends its queries, to enable IGMP snooping

querier on the VLAN. Allied Telesis recommends using the Default VLAN

which has a VID of 1.

IGMP snooping querier must be used in conjunction with IGMP snooping.

Activate IGMP snooping on all of the switches in the LAN, including the

switches running the IGMP snooping querier. The switches use IGMP

snooping to monitor the responses of the host nodes to the general IGMP

queries sent by the IGMP snooping querier. From the responses, they

create lists of ports that have host nodes that want to join the various

multicast groups and forward the multicast packets to only those ports. For

background information, refer to Chapter 38, “Internet Group Management

Protocol (IGMP) Snooping” on page 577.

Figure 117 on page 603 provides an example of IGMP snooping querier

on a LAN. It consists of a single switch with one VLAN, the Default VLAN.

Both IGMP snooping and IGMP snooping querier are enabled on the

switch. You assign a routing interface to the VLAN, with an IP address that

belongs to the same subnet as the multicast source and the host nodes.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

603

Figure 117. IGMP Snooping Querier with One Querier

Table 62 lists the switch settings that are illustrated in Figure 117.

Assigning

Multiple Queriers

IGMP snooping querier supports multiple queriers. A total of three queriers

are supported, one active querier and up to two standby queriers. The

active querier is the querier with the lowest IP address. The standby

querier has the second lowest IP address, and the switch with the highest

IP address is the second standby querier.

The difference between the active and standby queriers is that only the

active querier registers IGMP reports. A standby querier does not update

its MAC tables, so IGMP reports are not registered on the switch.

When you assign multiple queriers to a LAN, the software must decide

which is the active querier and which is the standby querier. This task falls

to a switch in the network that has IGMP snooping enabled, but IGMP

snooping querier disabled. Consequently, a LAN with multiple queriers

requires this extra switch.

For example, to assign two queriers to a network, you need three

switches. First, enable IGMP snooping on all three switches. Then enable

IGMP snooping querier on two switches, for this example, switches 1 and

3. Switch 2 determines which of the querier-enabled switches has the

network with IGMP snooping enabled and IGMP querier disabled

determines the standby querier and then the second standby querier by

comparing their IP addresses.

The following example consists of a LAN with three switches. See

Figure 118. IGMP snooping is enabled on all three switches. However,

IGMP snooping querier is enabled on switches 1 and 3. Switch 2

determines that switch 1 has the lowest IP routing address and forwards

all multicast packets to switch 1, making switch 1 the active querier.

Switch 3 becomes the standby querier in case switch 1 stops transmitting

query packets.

Note

Switches 1 and 3 are only sending queriers. Neither switch detects

nor displays an opposing querier.

Guidelines

The guidelines for IGMP snooping querier are listed here:

The network can have only one LAN.

The network can have up to three multicast routers.

You must enable IGMP snooping on all of the switches that you

assign a querier, plus one extra switch that has IGMP snooping

querier disabled.

You must enable IGMP snooping querier on all of the switches that

you assign a querier.

Apply IGMP snooping querier to the VLAN on which the queries

are to be sent.

The VLAN must be assigned a routing interface with an IP address

that is a member of the same network as the host nodes and the

source node of the multicast packets. The switch adds the IP

address to the queries as its source address.

IGMP snooping querier supports up to three queriers. The active

querier has the lowest IP address.

To assign multiple queriers to a LAN, you need one switch in the

network that has IGMP snooping enabled and IGMP snooping

querier disabled. This switch assigns the active querier by

determining which of the IGMP snooping querier enabled switches

has the lowest IP address.

If you want to add or remove ports from the VLAN after activating

IGMP snooping querier, you must disable IGMP snooping querier,

modify the VLAN, and then enable it again.

The switch supports IGMP versions 1, 2, and 3. The switch

typically sends only version 2 messages. If the switch receives a

version 1 message, it sends version 1 messages on all of the

ports. If the switch does not receive any additional version 1 or

version 3 messages for 255 seconds, the switch reverts to sending

version 2 messages.

If the switch receives a query either from a multicast router or from

another switch with IGMP snooping querier, it suspends IGMP

snooping querier and sends no further queries for 125 seconds. If

the switch does not receive any further queries, it reactivates the

feature and resumes sending queries.

IGMP snooping querier is supported on the base ports and SFP

modules.

IP DHCP SNOOPING AGENT-OPTION ALLOW-UNTRUSTED

Syntax

ip dhcp snooping agent-option allow-untrusted

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to enable DHCP Option 82 reception on untrusted

ports. When this command is enabled, the switch accepts incoming DHCP

packets that contain DHCP Option 82 data on untrusted ports. By default,

this command is disabled.

If the switch is connected via untrusted ports to edge switches that insert

DHCP Option 82 data into DHCP packets, you may need to allow these

DHCP packets through the untrusted ports by using the IP DHCP

SNOOPINFG AGENT-OPTION ALLOW-UNTRUSTED command.

When this command is disabled, the switch treats incoming DHCP

packets on untrusted ports that contain DHCP Option 82 as DHCP

snooping violations. The switch drops the packets and applies the

violation action specified by the IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION

command. See “IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION” on page 640.

Use the no version of the command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPING AGENT-

OPTION ALLOW-UNTRUSTED command, to disable DHCP Option 82

IP DHCP SNOOPING DELETE-BY-CLIENT

Syntax

ip dhcp snooping delete-by-client

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to set the switch to remove a dynamic entry from the

DHCP snooping database when it receives a valid DHCP message with

matching IP address, VLAN ID, and client hardware on an untrusted port.

In addition, setting this command causes the switch to discard release

messages that do not match an entry in the database. This command is

enabled by default.

DHCP clients send a release message when they no longer wish to use

the IP address they have been allocated by a DHCP server. Use this

command to enable DHCP snooping to use the information in these

messages to remove entries from its database immediately.

Use the no version of the command, the NO DHCP SNOOPING DELETE-

BY-CLIENT command, to ignore the release messages. Lease entries

corresponding to ignored DHCP release messages eventually time out

when the lease expires.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Example

This example sets the switch to delete DHCP snooping lease entries from

the DHCP snooping database when a matching release message is

received:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip dhcp snooping delete-by-client

Chapter 42: DHCP Snooping Commands

632

IP DHCP SNOOPING DELETE-BY-LINKDOWN

Syntax

ip dhcp snooping delete-by-linkdown

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to set the switch to remove a dynamic entry from the

DHCP snooping database when its port goes down. If the port is part of an

aggregated link, the entries in the database are deleted only when all of

the ports in the aggregated link are down.

If this command is enabled in a stack, and the master switch goes down

and is replaced by a new master switch, entries in the DHCP snooping

database for ports on the master are removed. There is one exception. If

this command is enabled in a stack, and the master switch goes down and

is replaced by a new master switch, entries in the database for ports on

the master are not removed if they are part of link aggregators that are still

up.

By default, this command is disabled. With this setting, the DHCP

snooping bindings are not deleted when an interface goes down.

Use the no version of the command, the NO IP DHCP SNOOPING

DELETE-BY-LINKDOWN command, to set the switch to not delete entries

when ports go down.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Example

This example sets the switch to delete DHCP snooping lease entries from

the DHCP snooping database when links go down:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip dhcp snooping delete-by-linkdown

IP DHCP SNOOPING MAX-BINDINGS

Syntax

ip dhcp snooping

max-bindings

0 - 520

Parameters

max-bindings

Specifies the maximum number of bindings that are stored in the

DHCP snooping binding database for the port specified. If 0 is

specified, no entries are stored in the database.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to set the maximum number of DHCP lease entries that

can be stored in the DHCP snooping database for a port or a range of

ports. After this value is reached, no additional DHCP lease allocations

made to the devices on the port are stored in the database. The default

value for the maximum number of DHCP lease entries is 1.

The maximum number of leases cannot be changed for a port while there

are DHCP snooping Access Control Lists (ACL) associated with the port.

Before using this command, remove any DHCP snooping ACLs

associated with the ports.

In general, the default value of 1 works well on an edge port with a single-

directly-connected-DHCP client. If the port is on an aggregated switch with

multiple DHCP clients connected through it, then use this command to

increase the number of lease entries for the port.

If there are multiple VLANs configured on the port, the limit of DHCP lease

entries is shared between all of the VLANs on the specified port. For

example, the default value only allows one lease to be stored for one

VLAN. To allow connectivity for the other VLANs, use this command to

increase the number of lease entries for the port.

Use the no version of the command, the NO IP DHCP MAX-BINDINGS

command, to reset the maximum number of DHCP lease entries to the

default of 1.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Chapter 42: DHCP Snooping Commands

634

Example

This example sets the maximum number of bindings that can be stored in

the DHCP snooping database to 10 per port for ports 15 to 19:

Parameters

sub-id

Specifies a subscriber ID in an alphanumeric (ASCII) string of 1 to

50 characters. Spaces are permitted; however, they must be

enclosed in double quotation marks. Wild cards are not permitted.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to assign a subscriber ID to a port. By default, no

subscriber IDs are assigned to any port on the switch.

The subscriber ID sub-option is included in the DHCP Option 82 field of

client DHCP packets that are forwarded from a port if all the following

conditions are met:

A subscriber ID is specified for the port using the IP DHCP

SNOOPING SUBSCRIBER-ID command.

DHCP Snooping Option 82 is enabled using “IP DHCP

SNOOPING AGENT-OPTION” on page 627. This command is

enabled by default.

DHCP Snooping is enabled on the switch with the SERVICE

DHCP SNOOPING command and on the VLAN to which the port

belongs using “IP DHCP SNOOPING” on page 626.

Use the no version of the command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPING

SUBSCRIBER-ID command, to remove the subscriber id assigned to a

port.

IP DHCP SNOOPING TRUST

Syntax

ip dhcp snooping trust

Parameters

None

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to set ports as DHCP-snooping-trusted ports. Typically,

ports connecting the switch to trusted elements in the network (towards

the core) are set as trusted ports while ports connecting untrusted network

elements are set as untrusted. Configure ports connected to DHCP

servers as trusted ports. By default, all switch ports are untrusted.

Use the no version of this command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPING TRUST, to

return a port to its default untrusted state.

IP DHCP VERIFY MAC-ADDRESS

Syntax

ip dhcp verify mac-address

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to verify that the source MAC address and client

hardware address match in DHCP packets received on untrusted ports.

By default, this command is enabled.

When MAC address verification is enabled, the switch treats DHCP

packets with source MAC address and client hardware addresses that do

not match as DHCP snooping violations. It drops them and applies any

other violation action specified by the IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION

command. See “IP DHCP SNOOPING VIOLATION” on page 640.

Note

To bring the port up after any issues have been resolved, use the

NO SHUTDOWN command. See “NO SHUTDOWN” on page 219.

Use the no version of the command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPNG VERIFY

MAC-ADDRESS command, to disable source MAC address verification.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to specify the action the switch takes when it detects

an DHCP snooping violation by an DHCP packet on a port (or ports). You

can set a switch to respond with more than one action. By default, DHCP

packets that violate DHCP snooping are dropped, but no other violation

action is taken.

If a port has been shut down in response to a violation, to bring it back up

again after any issues have been resolved, use the NO SHUTDOWN

command. See “NO SHUTDOWN” on page 219.

IP packets dropped by DHCP snooping filters do not result in other DHCP

snooping violation actions.

Use the no version of the command, NO IP DHCP SNOOPING

VIOLATION command, to disable the specified violation actions or all

violation actions.

SERVICE DHCP SNOOPING

Syntax

service dhcp snooping

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to enable the DHCP snooping service on the switch

globally. You must enable the SERVICE DHCP-SNOOPING command

before entering other DHCP snooping commands. By default, DHCP

snooping is disabled on the switch.

For DHCP snooping to operate on a VLAN, it must be enabled on the

switch by using this command and also enabled on the specified VLAN by

using the IP DHCP SNOOPING command. See “IP DHCP SNOOPING”

on page 626.

For DHCP snooping to operate on a VLAN, it must:

Be enabled globally on the switch with this command

Be enabled on the specified VLAN with the IP DHCP SNOOPING

command (see “IP DHCP SNOOPING” on page 626)

Have at least one port connected to a DHCP server that is

configured as a trusted port using the IP DHCP SNOOPING

TRUST command (see “IP DHCP SNOOPING TRUST” on

page 637)

If you disable the DHCP snooping service by using the NO SERVICE

DHCP SNOOPING command, all DHCP snooping configuration (including

ARP security, but excluding maximum bindings and ACLs) is removed

from the running configuration, and the DHCP snooping database is

deleted from active memory. If your reenable the service, the switch

repopulates the DHCP snooping database from the dynamic lease entries

in the database backup file (in NVS by default). The lease expiry times are

updated.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

645

The DHCP snooping service cannot be enabled on a switch that is

configured with any of the following features:

Web authentication (using the AUTH-WEB ENABLE command)

Guest VLAN authentication (using the AUTH GUEST-VLAN

command)

DHCP relay agent option (using the IP DHCP-RELAY AGENT-

OPTION command)

In addition, you cannot enable any of the above features if you have

DHCP snooping enabled on the switch.

Any ACLs on a port that permit traffic matching DHCP snooping entries

and block other traffic, will block all traffic if DHCP snooping is disabled on

a port. If you disable DHCP snooping on the switch using this command,

you must also remove any DHCP snooping ACLs from the ports to

maintain connectivity using the NO ACCESS-GROUP command. See “NO

ACCESS-GROUP” on page 1613.

Use the no version of the NO SERVICE DHCP SNOOPING command to

disable the DHCP snooping service on the switch. This command

removes all of the DHCP snooping configuration from the running

configuration except for any DHCP snooping maximum bindings settings

(set with “IP DHCP SNOOPING MAX-BINDINGS” on page 633) and any

DHCP snooping-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) which are retained

when the service is disabled.

Overview

A managed switch is a complex piece of computer equipment that

includes both hardware and software components. Multiple software

features operate simultaneously, inter-operating with each other and

processing large amounts of network traffic. It is often difficult to determine

exactly what is happening when a switch appears not to be operating

normally, or what happened when a problem occurred.

The operation of the switch can be monitored by viewing the event

messages generated by the device. These events and the vital information

about system activity that they provide can help you identify and solve

system problems.

The event messages are stored or sent in or to the following types of

outputs:

The buffered log

The permanent log

Email addresses

Consoles

The event messages include the following information:

The time and date of the event

The severity of the event

The management module that generated the event

An event description

The event messages can be filtered by:

Severity level

Management software modules

Text-string within the message

Displaying the Event Log

There are two commands to display the messages stored in the event log.

Both display the same messages and both are found in the Privileged

Exec mode. The only difference is that one displays the messages from

oldest to newest and the other from newest to oldest. The first command is

the SHOW LOG command. If you are more interested in the older

messages, this is the command to use. Here it is:

awplus# show log

The messages are displayed one screen at a time. To cancel the log, type

‘q’ for quit. Here is an example of the log.

Figure 128. SHOW LOG Command

The columns are described in Table 78 on page 682.

If you happen to be interested in the newer messages, use the SHOW

LOG REVERSE command, instead. You will see the same messages, but

the newest are displayed first.

Chapter 45: Syslog Client

692

Overview

The switch has a syslog client. The client enables the switch to send its

event messages to syslog servers on your network, for permanent

storage.

To store the switch’s event messages on a syslog server, you have to

create a syslog server definition. The contents of a definition consist of an

IP address of a syslog server and other information, such as the types of

event messages the switch is to send.

Here are the guidelines to the syslog client:

You can define up to 19 syslog server definitions.

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to “Adding a Management IP Address” on page 80 or Chapter

13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The syslog servers must be members of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, or must be able to access

the subnet through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

If the syslog servers are not members of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, the switch must have a

default gateway that specifies the first hop to reaching the servers.

For instructions on specifying the default gateway, refer to Chapter

13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The event messages are transmitted when they are generated.

Any event messages that already exist in the event log are not

transmitted when a new syslog server definition is created.

The syslog client uses UDP port 514. You cannot change the UDP

port.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

693

Creating Syslog Server Definitions

To configure the switch to send event messages to a syslog server, create

a syslog server definition with the LOG HOST command in the Global

Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:

log host

ipaddress

[level

level

] [program

program

]

This command creates just one definition at a time.

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of a syslog server you want

to receive event messages. You can specify just one address.

The LEVEL parameter specifies the minimal severity level of the events to

transmit to the server. The switch supports the four severity levels in

Table 81. Messages of the specified level and all levels below it are

transmitted to the server. For example, specifying level 4 for a syslog

server definition causes the switch to transmit levels 0 and 4 messages. If

you omit this parameter, messages of all severity levels are sent.

The PROGRAM parameter is used to restrict the transmitted messages to

just those that are generated by particular programs on the switch. You

designate the programs by entering their abbreviations, listed in Table 82.

Table 81. Event Message Severity Levels

Value Severity Level Description

0 Emergency Switch operation is severely impaired.

4 Warning An issue may require manager attention.

6 Informational Useful information that can be ignored

during normal operation.

7 Debug Messages intended for technical support

and software development.

To delete syslog server definitions from the switch, use the NO LOG

HOST command in the Global Configuration mode. The format of the

command is:

no log host

ipaddress

To view the IP addresses of the syslog servers of the definitions, use the

SHOW LOG CONFIG command. You can delete just one definition at a

time with this command.

The switch stops sending event messages to a syslog server as soon as

you delete a definition.

This example deletes a syslog server definition for the server IP address

124.145.112.61:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no log host 124.145.112.61

Chapter 47: Static Port Trunks

708

Overview

Static port trunks are groups of two to eight ports that act as single virtual

links between the switch and other network devices. Static port trunks are

commonly used to improve network performance by increasing the

available bandwidth between the switch and other network devices and to

enhance the reliability of the connections between network devices.

Figure 134 is an example of a static port trunk of four links between two

AT-FS970M Switches.

Figure 134. Static Port Trunk Example

When you create a new static port trunk, you can designate the manner in

which the traffic is distributed across the physical links by the switch. This

is explained in “Load Distribution Methods,” next.

Unlike LACP trunks, which are described in Chapter 49, “Link Aggregation

Control Protocol (LACP)” on page 725, static port trunks do not permit

standby ports. If a link is lost on a port in a static port trunk, the trunk’s total

bandwidth is reduced. Although the traffic carried by a lost link is shifted to

one of the remaining ports in the trunk, the bandwidth remains reduced

until a lost link is reestablished or another port is manually added to the

trunk.

Load Distribution

Methods

This section discusses the load distribution methods for static port trunks

and LACP trunks, described in Chapter 49, “Link Aggregation Control

Protocol (LACP)” on page 725.

When you create a static port trunk or an LACP trunk, you have to specify

the manner in which the switch should distribute the packets of the traffic

load across the ports of a trunk. This is referred to as the load distribution

method. The load distribution methods are listed here:

Source MAC Address (Layer 2)

Destination MAC Address (Layer 2)

Source MAC Address / Destination MAC Address (Layer 2)

AT-FS970M/24 Fast

Ethernet Switch

AT-FS970M/24 Fast

Ethernet Switch

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

709

Source IP Address (Layer 3)

Destination IP Address (Layer 3)

Source IP Address / Destination IP Address (Layer 3)

The load distribution methods examine the last three bits of a packet’s

MAC or IP address and compare the bits against mappings assigned to

the ports in the trunk. The port mapped to the matching bits is selected as

the transmission port for a packet.

In cases where you select a load distribution that employs either a source

or destination address but not both, only the last three bits of the

designated address are used in the selection process. If you select one of

the two load distribution methods employing both source and destination

addresses, port selection is achieved through an XOR operation of the last

three bits of both addresses.

For example, assume you created a static port trunk or an LACP trunk of

Ports 7 through 14 on the switch. The table below shows the mappings of

the switch ports to the possible values of the last three bits of a MAC or IP

address.

Assume you selected source MAC address as the load distribution method

and that the switch needed to transmit over the trunk a packet with a

source MAC address that ended in 9. The binary equivalent of 9 is 1001,

making the last three bits of the address 001. An examination of the table

above indicates that the switch uses Port 8 to transmit the frame because

that port is mapped to the matching bits.

A similar method is used for the two load distribution methods that employ

both the source and destination addresses. Only here the last three bits of

both addresses are combined by an XOR process to derive a single value

which is then compared against the mappings of the bits to ports. The

XOR rules are as follows:

0 XOR 0 = 0

0 XOR 1 = 1

1 XOR 0 = 1

1 XOR 1 = 0

Trunk Ports 7891011121314

Chapter 47: Static Port Trunks

710

For example, assume you selected source and destination MAC

addresses for the load distribution method in our previous example, and

that a packet for transmission over the trunk had a source MAC address

that ended in 9 and a destination address that ended in 3. The binary

values are:

9 = 1001

3 = 0011

Applying the XOR rules above on the last three bits result in 010, or 2. An

examination of the table above shows that the packet is transmitted from

port 9.

Port trunk mappings on the switch can consist of up to eight ports. This

corresponds to the maximum number of ports allowed in a static trunk and

the maximum number of active ports in an LACP trunk. Inactive ports in an

LACP trunk are not applied to the mappings until they transition to the

active status.

You can assign different load distribution methods to different static trunks

on the same switch. The same is true for LACP aggregators. However, it

should be noted that all aggregate trunks within an LACP aggregator must

use the same load distribution method.

The load distribution methods assume that the final three bits of the

source and/or destination addresses of the packets from the network

nodes are varied enough to support efficient distribution of the packets

over the trunk ports. A lack of variation can result in one or more ports in a

trunk being used more than others, with the potential loss of a trunk’s

efficiency and performance.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to using static port trunks:

A static trunk can have up to eight ports.

The switch supports up to a total of 32 static port trunks and LACP

trunks at a time. An LACP trunk is counted against the maximum

number of trunks when it is active.

The ports of a static port trunk can be either all twisted pair ports or

all fiber optic ports. Static port trunks cannot have both types of

ports.

The ports of a trunk can be either consecutive (for example ports

5-9) or nonconsecutive (for example, ports 4, 8, 11, 20).

The ports of static port trunks must be from the same switch.

Static port trunks are compatible with spanning tree protocols

because the switch views them as single virtual links.

Before creating a port trunk, examine the speed, duplex mode,

flow control, and back pressure settings of the lowest number port

the trunk will contain. Verify that these port configuration settings

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

711

are compatible with the device to which the trunk will be connected.

When you create a static port trunk, the management software

copies the current settings of the lowest numbered port in the trunk

to the other ports, so that all the ports have the same settings. For

example, if you create a port trunk of ports 5 to 8, the parameter

settings for port 5 are copied to ports 6, 7, and 8 so that all the

ports of the trunk have the same settings.

After creating a port trunk, do not change the speed, duplex mode,

flow control, or back pressure of any port in the trunk without also

changing the other ports.

A port can belong to only one static trunk at a time.

A port cannot be a member of a static trunk and an LACP trunk at

the same time.

The ports of a static trunk must be untagged members of the same

VLAN. A trunk cannot consist of untagged ports from different

VLANs.

The switch selects the lowest-numbered port in the trunk to handle

broadcast packets and packets of an unknown destination. For

example, a trunk of ports 11 to 15 uses port 11 for broadcast

packets.

Because network equipment vendors tend to employ different

techniques for static trunks, a static trunk on one device might not

be compatible with the same feature on a device from a different

manufacturer. For this reason, Allied Telesis recommends using

this feature only between Allied Telesis network devices.

Chapter 47: Static Port Trunks

712

Creating New Static Port Trunks or Adding Ports To Existing Trunks

The command to create new static port trunks or to add ports to existing

trunks is the STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP command. Here is the format of

the command:

static-channel-group

id_number

You perform the command from the Port Interface mode of the ports the

trunk is to contain. Here is an example that creates a new trunk of ports 22

to 23 and the ID number 1:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.22-port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# static-channel-group 1

If a static port trunk of that ID number already exists, the commands add

ports 22 and 23 to it.

Caution

To prevent the formation of loops in your network topology, do not

connect the network cables to the member ports of a trunk until after

you have created it. Network loops can result in broadcast storms

that can adversely affect network performance.

For reference information, refer to “STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP” on

page 722.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

713

Specifying the Load Distribution Method

The load distribution method defines how the switch distributes the traffic

among the ports of a trunk. The command for this is the PORT-CHANNEL

LOAD-BALANCE command, in the Static Port Trunk Interface mode. The

command’s format is shown here:

port-channel load-balance dst-ip|dst-mac|src-dst-ip|

src-dst-mac|src-ip|src-mac

The variables are defined here:

src-mac Specifies source MAC address as the load distribution

method.

dst-mac Specifies destination MAC address.

src-dst-mac Specifies source address/destination MAC address.

src-ip Specifies source IP address.

dst-ip Specifies destination IP address.

src-dst-ip Specifies source address/destination IP address.

To enter the Static Port Trunk Interface mode, you use the INTERFACE

TRUNK command. You enter the INTERFACE keyword followed by the

name of the trunk. The name of the trunk consists of the prefix “sa” (for

static trunk) and the trunk’s ID number. (If you do not know the ID number

of the trunk, refer to “Displaying Static Port Trunks” on page 715.)

This example sets the load distribution method to destination MAC

address for a static port trunk that has the ID number 4:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface sa4

awplus(config-if)# port-channel load-balance dst-mac

For reference information, refer to “PORT-CHANNEL LOAD-BALANCE”

on page 719.

Chapter 47: Static Port Trunks

714

Removing Ports from Static Port Trunks or Deleting Trunks

To remove ports from a static port trunk, enter the Port Interface mode of

the ports to be removed and issue the NO STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP

command. This example removes ports 4 and 5 from their current static

port trunk assignment:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# no static-channel-group

To delete a static port trunk, remove all its member ports. This example

deletes a trunk that consists of member ports 15 to 17 and 21:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15-port1.0.17,port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# no static-channel-group

Caution

To prevent the formation of loops in your network topology, do not

remove ports from a static port trunk without first disconnecting their

network cable. Network loops can result in broadcast storms that

can adversely affect network performance.

Displaying Static Port Trunks

To display the member ports of static port trunks, use the SHOW STATIC-

CHANNEL-GROUP command in the User Exec mode or Privileged Exec

mode:

awplus# show static-channel-group

STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP

Syntax

static-channel-group

id_number

Parameters

id_number

Specifies an ID number of a static port trunk. The range is 1 to 32.

You can specify just one ID number.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to create new static port trunks and to add ports to

existing trunks. To create a new trunk, specify an unused ID number. To

add ports to an existing trunk, specify an ID number of an existing trunk.

Caution

Do not connect the network cables to the ports of the static port

trunk until after you have created it. A network loop may result if you

connect the cables beforehand, possibly resulting in a broadcast

storm and poor network performance.

To create a new static port trunk, you have to assign it an ID number, in

the range of 1 to 32. This number is used by the switch to identify trunks

and to assign trunk names. A name of a trunk consists of the prefix “sa”

followed by an ID number. For instance, if you assign a new trunk the ID

number 5, its name will be “sa5.”

You should review the following information before creating a new static

port trunk:

When you create a new trunk, the settings of the lowest numbered

port are copied to the other ports so that all the ports have the

same settings. Consequently, you should examine and verify that

the speed, duplex mode, and flow control settings of the lowest

numbered port are correct for the network device to which the

trunk will be connected.

The ports of a trunk must be members of the same VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

723

Ports can be members of just one static port trunk at a time. A port

that is already a member of a trunk cannot be added to another

trunk until it is first removed from its current trunk assignment. To

remove ports from static port trunks, see “NO STATIC-CHANNEL-

GROUP” on page 718.

You should review the following information if you are adding ports to an

existing trunk:

If the port you are adding will be the lowest numbered port in the

trunk, its parameter settings will overwrite the settings of the

existing ports in the trunk. Consequently, you check to see if its

settings are appropriate prior to adding it to the trunk. If the port will

not be the lowest numbered port, its settings are changed to match

the settings of the existing ports in the trunk.

If the port to be added to a trunk is already a member of another

static trunk, you must first remove it from its current trunk

assignment. To remove ports from a trunk, see “NO STATIC-

CHANNEL-GROUP” on page 718.

Example

This example creates a new static port trunk of ports 11 and 12, with the ID

number 2. If there is already a static port trunk with the same ID number

the commands add the ports to it:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11-port1.0.12

Chapter 49: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

726

Overview

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is used to increase the

bandwidth between the switch and other LACP-compatible devices by

grouping ports together to form single virtual links.

LACP trunks are similar in function to static port trunks, but they are more

flexible. The implementations of static trunks tend to be vendor specific

and so may not always be compatible. In contrast, the implementation of

LACP in the switch is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ad standard. It is

interoperable with equipment from other vendors that also comply with the

standard. This makes it possible to create LACP trunks between the

switch and network devices from other manufacturers.

The main component of an LACP trunk is an aggregator. An aggregator is

a group of ports on the switch. The ports of an aggregator are further

grouped into a trunk, referred to as an aggregate trunk. An aggregate

trunk can consist of a maximum of 8 ports on the switch.

An aggregator can have only one trunk. You have to create a separate

aggregator for each trunk on the switch. The switch up can support up to a

total of 32 static and LACP aggregate trunks at a time

LACP System

Priority

When two devices form an aggregate trunk, a conflict may occur if there is

a difference in their LACP implementations. For example, the two devices

might not support the same number of active ports in an aggregate trunk.

If a conflict does occur, the two devices must resolve the problem and

decide whose LACP settings take precedence. This is accomplished with

the system LACP priority value. A hexadecimal value of from 1 to FFFF,

this parameter is used whenever the devices encounter a conflict creating

a trunk. The lower the number, the higher the priority. The settings on the

device with the higher priority take precedence over the settings on the

other device. If both devices have the same system LACP priority value,

the settings on whichever switch has the lowest MAC address takes

precedence.

This parameter is useful if the switch and the other 802.3ad-compliant

device have different LACP trunking capabilities. You should give the

other device the higher priority if its LACP capability is less than the

AT-FS970M Series switch capability. That way, the other device’s settings

are used by both devices to form the trunk.

For example, a conflict could occur in an aggregate trunk of six links if the

other 802.3ad-compliant device supported just four active links at one

time. The AT-FS970M Series switch would activate all six links, while the

other device would activate only four ports. But by giving the other device

the higher priority, the conflict is avoided because the AT-FS970M Series

switch would use only four active links.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

727

Base Port The lowest numbered port in an aggregator is referred to as the base port.

You cannot change the base port of an aggregator. You can neither delete

it from an aggregator nor add any ports that are below it. For example, if

an aggregator consists of ports 5 to 12, you cannot delete port 5 because

it is the base port, and you are not allowed to add ports 1 to 4 to the

aggregator. If you need to change the base port of an aggregator, you

must delete and recreate the aggregator to which it belongs.

Load Distribution

Methods

The load distribution method determines the manner in which the switch

distributes the traffic across the active ports of an aggregate trunk. The

method is assigned to an aggregator and applies to the aggregate trunk in

it. For further information, refer to “Load Distribution Methods” on

page 708.

Guidelines Here are the LACP guidelines:

LACP must be activated on both the switch and the other device.

The other device must be 802.3ad-compliant.

An aggregator can consist of any number of ports.

The switch supports up to eight active ports in an aggregate trunk

at a time.

The switch can support up to a total of 32 static and LACP

aggregate trunks at a time. An LACP trunk is countered against the

maximum number of trunks only when it is active.

The ports of an aggregate trunk must be the same medium type: all

twisted pair ports or all fiber optic ports.

The ports of a trunk can be consecutive (for example ports 5 to 9)

or nonconsecutive (for example, ports 4, 8, 11, 20).

A port can belong to only one aggregator at a time.

A port cannot be a member of an aggregator and a static trunk at

the same time.

The ports of an aggregate trunk must be untagged members of the

same VLAN.

10/100/1000Base-TX twisted pair ports must be set to Auto-

Negotiation or 100 Mbps, full-duplex mode. LACP trunks are not

supported in half-duplex mode.

100Base-FX fiber optic ports must be set to full-duplex mode.

Only those ports that are members of an aggregator transmit

LACPDU packets.

The lowest numbered port in an aggregator is called the base port.

You cannot add ports that are below the base port of an

aggregator. For example, you cannot add ports 1 to 3 to an

aggregator that consists of ports 4 to 8. You must delete and

recreate an aggregator to change its base port.

Chapter 49: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

728

The load distribution method is applied at the aggregator level. For

further information, refer to “Load Distribution Methods” on

page 708.

To function as a member of an aggregator, a port must receive

LACPDU packets from a remote network device. A port that does

not receive LACPDU packets while it is a member of an aggregate

trunk functions as a regular Ethernet port, forwarding network

traffic while also continuing to transmit LACPDU packets.

The port with the highest priority in an aggregate trunk carries

broadcast packets and packets with an unknown destination.

Prior to creating an aggregate trunk between an Allied Telesis

device and another vendor’s device, refer to the vendor’s

documentation to determine the maximum number of active ports

the device supports. If the number is less than eight, the maximum

number for the AT-FS970M Series switch, you should assign the

vendor’s device a higher system LACP priority than the switch. If it

is more than eight, assign the AT-FS970M Series switch the higher

priority. This will avoid a possible conflict between the devices if

some ports are placed in the standby mode when the devices

create the trunk. For background information, refer to “LACP

System Priority” on page 726.

LACPDU packets are transmitted as untagged packets.

Creating New Aggregators

To create a new aggregator, move to the Port Interface mode of the

aggregator’s member ports and issue the CHANNEL-GROUP command,

which has this format:

channel-group

id_number

The ID_NUMBER parameter has a range of 1 to 32. Each aggregator

must be assigned a unique ID number.

If the ports of a new aggregator are already members of other

aggregators, the switch automatically removes them from their current

assignments before adding them to the new aggregator.

Caution

To avoid creating a loop in your network topology, do not connect

the network cables to the ports until after you have created the

aggregator with the CHANNEL-GROUP command.

These commands create a new aggregator of ports 11 and 12, with the ID

number 4:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11-port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# channel-group 4

Chapter 49: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

730

Setting the Load Distribution Method

The load distribution method determines the manner in which the switch

distributes the egress packets among the active ports of an aggregator.

The packets can be distributed by source MAC or IP address, destination

MAC or IP address, or by both source and destination addresses. The

distribution methods are discussed in “Load Distribution Methods” on

page 708.

The load distribution method of an aggregator is set with the PORT-

CHANNEL LOAD-BALANCE command in the LACP Port Trunk Interface

mode. To enter the mode, use the INTERFACE PO command from the

Global Configuration mode, in this format:

interface po

id_number

You specify the intended aggregator by adding its ID number as a suffix to

PO.

Here is the format of the PORT-CHANNEL LOAD-BALANCE command:

port-channel load-balance src-mac|dst-mac|src-dst-mac|

src-ip|dst-ip|src-dst-ip

In this example, an aggregator with the ID number 5 is assigned the

source MAC address distribution method:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface po5

awplus(config-if)# port-channel load-balance src-mac

This example assigns an aggregator with the ID number 17 the source

destination MAC address distribution method:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface po17

awplus(config-if)# port-channel load-balance src-dst-mac

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

731

Adding Ports to Aggregators

The command to add ports to existing aggregators is the same command

to create new aggregators, the CHANNEL-GROUP command in the Port

Interface mode. To use the command, move to the Port Interface mode of

the ports you want to add to an aggregator and issue the command.

Note

You cannot add to an aggregator any ports that are below the base

port. For instance, you cannot add any ports below port 15 to an

aggregator that has ports 15 to 22.

When you enter the command, specify the ID number of the existing

aggregator to which the new ports are to be assigned. If you do not know

the ID number, use the SHOW ETHERCHANNEL DETAIL command.

If the new ports of an aggregator are already members of other

aggregators, you do not have to remove them from their current

assignments before adding them to a different aggregator. The

management software does that automatically.

Caution

To avoid creating a loop in your network topology, do not connect

the network cables to the aggregator ports until you have performed

the CHANNEL-GROUP command.

These commands add ports 18 and 23 to the aggregator with ID number 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18,port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# channel-group 5

Chapter 49: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)

732

Removing Ports from Aggregators

To remove ports from an aggregator, use the NO CHANNEL-GROUP

command, in the Port Interface mode. Move to the Port Interface mode for

those ports you want to remove from an aggregator and enter the

command. You can remove ports from only one aggregator at a time.

Caution

Do not remove a port from an aggregator without first disconnecting

the network cable. Leaving the network cable connected may result

in a network loop, which can cause a broadcast storm.

Note

You cannot remove the base port of an aggregator. The base port is

the lowest-numbered port of an aggregator. For example, you

cannot delete port 7 from an aggregator consisting of ports 7 to 12.

Removing the base port requires deleting and recreating the

aggregator to which the base port belongs.

These commands delete ports 11 and 12 from an aggregator:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11-port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# no channel-group

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

733

Deleting Aggregators

To delete an aggregator, remove all its ports with the NO CHANNEL-

GROUP command, in the Port Interface mode.

Caution

Do not delete an aggregator without first disconnecting the network

cables from its ports. Leaving the network cables connected may

result in a network loop, which can cause a broadcast storm.

These commands delete an aggregator consisting of ports 17, 22 and 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.17,port1.0.22,port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# no channel-group

Displaying Aggregators

There are five SHOW commands for LACP. Two of them are mentioned

here. For descriptions of all the commands, refer to Chapter 50, “LACP

Commands” on page 737.

The first command is the SHOW ETHERCHANNEL DETAIL command in

the Privileged Exec mode. It displays configuration information and

operation status about the aggregators on the switch. Included are the

ports of the individual aggregators, their link states, and the load

distribution methods of the aggregators. Here is the command:

awplus# show etherchannel detail

Here is an example of the information.

Figure 137. SHOW ETHERCHANNEL DETAIL

The only information the SHOW ETHERCHANNEL DETAIL command

does not include is the LACP system priority value. That value can been

seen with the SHOW LACP SYS-ID command, also in the Privileged Exec

mode. Here is the command:

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

754

Overview

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

(RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) guard against the

formation of loops in an Ethernet network topology. A topology has a loop

when two or more nodes can transmit packets to each other over more

than one data path. The problem that data loops pose is that packets can

become caught in repeating cycles, referred to as broadcast storms, that

needlessly consume network bandwidth and that can significantly reduce

network performance.

Spanning tree prevents loops from forming by ensuring that only one path

exists between the end nodes in your network. Where multiple paths exist,

these protocols place the extra paths in a standby or blocking mode.

Spanning tree can also activate redundant paths if primary paths go down.

So not only do these protocols guard against multiple links between

segments and the risk of broadcast storms, but they can also maintain

network connectivity by activating backup redundant paths.

One of the primary differences between the two protocols is in the time

each takes to complete the process referred to as convergence. When a

change is made to the network topology, such as the addition of a new

bridge, a spanning tree protocol must determine whether there are

redundant paths that must be blocked to prevent data loops, or activated

to maintain communications between the various network segments. This

is the process of convergence.

With STP, convergence can take up to a minute to complete in a large

network. This can result in the loss of communication between various

parts of the network during the convergence process, and the subsequent

lost of data packets.

RSTP is much faster and is the default spanning tree mode. It can

complete a convergence in seconds to greatly diminish the possible

impact the process can have on your network.

MSTP is similar to RSTP in its efficiency of convergence. It also allows

more than one instance of spanning tree to be active at a time. See

“Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 833 for more information about

how MSTP operates in an environment of multiple spanning tree

instances.

The STP implementation on the switch complies with the IEEE 802.1d

standard. The RSTP implementation complies with the IEEE 802.1w

standard. The MSTP feature complies with the IEEE 802.1s standard. The

following subsections provide an overview the basic features of STP,

RSTP and MSTP, and define the different parameters that you can adjust.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

755

Bridge Priority and the Root Bridge

The first task that bridges perform when a spanning tree protocol is

activated on a network is the selection of a root bridge. A root bridge

distributes network topology information to the other network bridges and

is used by the other bridges to determine if there are redundant paths in

the network.

A root bridge is selected by the bridge priority number, also referred to as

the bridge identifier. The bridge with the lowest bridge priority number in

the network is selected as the root bridge. If two or more bridges have the

same bridge priority number, of those bridges, the one with the lowest

MAC address is designated as the root bridge.

You can change the bridge priority number on the switch. You can

designate which switch on your network you want as the root bridge by

giving it the lowest bridge priority number. You might also consider which

bridge should function as the backup root bridge in the event you need to

take the primary root bridge offline, and assign that bridge the second

lowest bridge identifier number.

The bridge priority has a range 0 to 61,440 in increments of 4,096. A lower

priority number indicates a greater likelihood of the switch becoming the

root bridge. The priority values can be set only in increments of 4,096. The

default value is 32,768.

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

756

Path Costs and Port Costs

After the root bridge has been selected, the bridges determine if the

network contains redundant paths and, if one is found, select a preferred

path while placing the redundant paths in a backup or blocking state.

A bridge that has only one path between itself and the root bridge is

referred to as the designated bridge. And the port through which it is

communicating with the root bridge is referred to as the root port.

If redundant paths exist, the bridges that are a part of the paths must

determine which path will be the primary, active path, and which path(s)

will be placed in the standby, blocking mode. This is accomplished by a

determination of path costs. The path offering the lowest cost to the root

bridge becomes the primary path, and the redundant paths are placed in

the blocking state.

Path cost is determined by evaluating port costs. Every port on a bridge

participating in STP and RSTP has a cost associated with it. The cost of a

port on a bridge is typically based on port speed. The faster the port, the

lower the port cost. The exception to this is the ports on the root bridge,

where all ports have a port cost of 0.

Path cost is simply the sum of the port costs between a bridge and the root

bridge.

The path cost of a port is adjustable on the switch. The range is 1 to

200000000.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

757

Port Priority

If two paths have the same port cost, the bridges must select a preferred

path. In some instances this can involve the use of the port priority

parameter. This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two paths have

the same cost.

The port priority has a range from 0 to 240 in increments of 16. The priority

values can be set only in increments of 16. The default value is 128, which

is increment 8.

Forwarding Delay and Topology Changes

If there is a change in the network topology due to a failure, removal, or

addition of any active components, the active topology also changes. This

may trigger a change in the state of some blocked ports. However, a

change in a port state is not activated immediately.

It might take time for the root bridge to notify all bridges that a topology

change has occurred, especially if it is a large network. If a topology

change is made before all the bridges have been notified, a temporary

data loop could occur, and that could adversely impact network

performance.

To forestall the formation of temporary data loops during topology

changes, a port designated to change from blocking to forwarding passes

through two additional states—listening and learning—before beginning to

forward frames. The amount of time a port spends in these states is set by

the forwarding delay value. This value states the amount of time that a

port spends in the listening and learning states prior to changing to the

forwarding state.

The forwarding delay value is adjustable on the switch. The appropriate

value for this parameter depends on a number of variables, with the size

of your network being a primary factor. For large networks, you should

specify a value large enough to allow the root bridge sufficient time to

propagate a topology change throughout the entire network. For small

networks, you should not specify a value so large that a topology change

is needlessly delayed, which could result in the delay or loss of some data

packets.

Note

The forwarding delay parameter applies only to ports on the switch

that are operating STP-compatible mode.

Hello Time and Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU)

The bridges that are part of a spanning tree domain communicate with

each other using a bridge broadcast frame that contains a special section

devoted to carrying STP or RSTP information. This portion of the frame is

referred to as the bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). When a bridge is

brought online, it issues a BPDU in order to determine whether a root

bridge has already been selected in the network, and if not, whether it has

the lowest bridge priority number of all the bridges and should therefore

become the root bridge.

The root bridge periodically transmits a BPDU to determine whether there

have been any changes to the network topology and to inform other

bridges of topology changes. The frequency with which the root bridge

sends out a BPDU is called the hello time. This is a value that you can set

on the switch. The interval is measured in seconds and has a default

setting of two seconds. Consequently, if the switch is selected as the root

bridge of a spanning tree domain, it transmits a BPDU every two seconds.

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

760

Point-to-Point and Edge Ports

Part of the task of configuring RSTP or MSTP is defining the port types on

the switch. This relates to the devices connected to the ports. With the port

types defined, RSTP or MSTP can reconfigure a network much quicker

than STP when a change in network topology is detected.

Note

This section applies only to RSTP and MSTP.

There are two possible selections:

Point-to-point port

Edge port

A port that is operating in full-duplex mode is functioning as a point-to-

point port. Figure 144 illustrates two switches that are connected with one

data link. With the link operating in full-duplex, the ports are point-to-point

ports.

Figure 144. Point-to-Point Ports

If a port is operating in half-duplex mode and is not connected to any

further bridges that are participating in spanning tree, then the port is an

edge port. Figure 145 on page 761 illustrates an edge port on the switch.

The port is connected to an Ethernet hub, which in turn is connected to a

series of Ethernet workstations. This is an edge port because it is

connected to a device that has no participating RSTP or MSTP devices.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

761

Figure 145. Edge Port

A port can be both a point-to-point and an edge port at the same time. It

operates in full-duplex and has no spanning tree devices connected to it.

Figure 146 illustrates a port functioning as both a point-to-point and edge

port.

Figure 146. Point-to-Point and Edge Port

Determining whether a bridge port is point-to-point, edge, or both, can be a

bit confusing. For that reason, do not change the default values for this

RSTP feature unless you have a good grasp of the concept. In most

cases, the default values work well.

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

762

Mixed STP and RSTP Networks

RSTP IEEE 802.1w is fully compliant with STP IEEE 802.1d. A network

can have both protocols. If both RSTP and STP are present in a network,

they operate together to create a single spanning tree domain. Given this,

if you decide to activate spanning tree on the switch, there is no reason

not to use RSTP, even if the other switches are running STP. The switch

combines its RSTP with the STP on the other switches by monitoring the

traffic on the ports for BPDU packets. Ports that receive RSTP BPDU

packets operate in RSTP mode while ports receiving STP BPDU packets

operate in STP mode.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

763

Spanning Tree and VLANs

STP and RSTP support a single-instance spanning tree that encompasses

all the ports on the switch. If the ports are divided into different VLANs, the

spanning tree protocol crosses the VLAN boundaries. This point can pose

a problem in networks that contain multiple VLANs that span different

switches and that are connected with untagged ports. In this situation, STP

and RSTP might block a data link if they detect a data loop, causing

fragmentation of your VLANs.

This issue is illustrated in Figure 147. Two VLANs, Sales and Production,

span two switches. Two links consisting of untagged ports connect the

separate parts of each VLAN. If STP or RSTP is activated on the switches,

one of the links is disabled because the links form a loop. In the example,

the port on the top switch that links the two parts of the Production VLAN is

changed to the block state. This leaves the two parts of the Production

VLAN unable to communicate with each other.

Figure 147. VLAN Fragmentation

You can avoid this problem by not activating spanning tree or by

connecting VLANs using tagged instead of untagged ports. (For

information about tagged and untagged ports, refer to Chapter 58, “Port-

based and Tagged VLANs” on page 879.)

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

764

RSTP and MSTP BPDU Guard

This feature monitors the RSTP or MSTP edge ports on the switch for

BPDU packets. Edge ports that receive BPDU packets are disabled by the

switch. The benefit of this feature is that it prevents the use of edge ports

by RSTP or MSTP devices. This reduces the possibility of unwanted

changes to a network topology.

Note

This section applies only to RSTP and MSTP.

When RSTP or MSTP detects a loop in a network topology, it performs a

process called convergence in which the spanning tree devices identify

the ports to be blocked to prevent the loop. The length of time the process

requires depends on a number of factors, including the number of devices

and ports in the domain. Long convergence processes can affect network

performance because areas of a network may be isolated while the

devices check for loops and enable or disable ports.

You can decrease the amount of time of the convergence process by

designating edge ports on the switches. These ports are connected to

devices that are at the edge of a network, such as workstations and

printers. The advantages of edge ports are that they typically do not

participate in the convergence process and that they immediately

transition to the forwarding state, skipping the intermediate listening and

learning states.

Edge ports, however, can leave a spanning tree domain vulnerable to

unwanted topology changes. This can happen if someone connects an

RSTP or MSTP device to an edge port, causing the other devices in the

domain to perform the convergence process to integrate the new device

into the spanning tree domain. If the new device assumes the role of root

bridge, the new topology might be undesirable. In the worst case scenario,

someone could use an edge port to introduce false BPDUs into a network

to deliberately initiate a change.

The BPDU guard feature lets you protect your network from unnecessary

convergences by preventing the use of edge ports by RSTP or MSTP

devices. When this feature is active on the switch, any edge port that

receives BPDU packets is automatically disabled, preventing the initiation

of the convergence process. You are notified of the event with an SNMP

trap. An edge port remains disabled until you enable it again with the

management software, such as with the ENABLE SWITCH PORT

command in the command line.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

765

Here are the guidelines to this feature:

BPDU guard is configured for each port and has only two possible

settings: enabled or disabled. The default setting is disabled.

This feature is supported on the base ports of the switch and any

fiber optic transceivers installed in the unit.

Note

A port disabled by the BPDU guard feature remains in that state until

you enable it with the management software. If a port is still

receiving BPDUs, you should disconnect the network cable before

enabling it to prevent the feature from disabling the port again.

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

766

STP, RSTP, MSTP Loop Guard

Although spanning tree is designed to detect and prevent the formation of

loops in a network topology, it is possible in certain circumstances for the

protocol to inadvertently create loops. This can happen in the unlikely

situation where a link between two spanning tree devices remains active

when there is an cessation of BPDUs because of a hardware or software

problem. The loop guard feature is designed to prevent the formation of

loops in this situation.

Note

The Loop Guard feature is supported in STP, RSTP, and MSTP.

Network devices running spanning tree regularly transmit BPDUs to

discover the topology of a network and to the search for loops. These

packets are used by the devices to identify redundant physical paths to the

root bridge and, where loops exist, to determine the ports to be blocked.

The proper operation of spanning tree relies on the flow of these packets.

If there is a hardware or software failure that interrupts their transmission

or reception, it is possible the protocol might mistakenly unblock one or

more ports in the spanning tree domain, causing a network loop.

The loop guard feature protects against this type of failure by monitoring

the ports on the switch for BPDUs from the other RSTP devices. If a port

stops receiving BPDUs without a change to its link state (that is the link on

a port stays up), the switch assumes that there is a problem with RSTP on

the other device and takes action depending on a port’s role in the

spanning tree domain. If the event happens on an alternate port in the

blocking state, the port is kept in that state. If this occurs on a root or

designated port in the forwarding state, the port’s state is changed to the

blocking state.

The switch activates loop guard only when there is a cessation in the flow

of BPDUs on a port whose link state has not changed. A port that never

receives BPDUs will not be affected by this feature.

A port that loop guard has placed in the blocking state remains in that

state until it begins to receive BPDUs again or you reset the switch.

Disconnecting the port, disabling or enabling a port with the management

software, or even disabling loop guard does not change a port’s blocking

state.

If a loop guard event occurs during a local or remote management

session, you will see this message displayed on the screen:

Loop Guard is triggered

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

767

If you configured the SNMP community strings on the switch, an SNMP

trap is sent to your management workstations to notify you of the event.

However, this event does not generate an entry in the switch’s log.

This feature is supported on the base ports of the switch as well as on any

fiber optic transceivers installed in the unit.

The following figures illustrate this feature. The first figure shows spanning

tree under normal operations in a network of three switches that have

been connected to form a loop. To block the loop, switch 3 designates port

14 as an alternate port and places it in the blocking or discarding state.

Figure 148. Loop Guard Example 1

If port 17 on switch 2 stops transmitting BPDUs, port 14 on switch 3

transitions from the blocking state to the forwarding state because the

switch assumes that the device connected to the port is no longer an

RSTP device. The result is a network loop, as illustrated in Figure 149 on

page 768.

Chapter 51: STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols

768

Figure 149. Loop Guard Example 2

But if loop guard is enabled on port 14 on switch 3, the port, instead of

changing to the forwarding state, stays in the blocking state, preventing

the formation of the loop.

Figure 150. Loop Guard Example 3

The previous example illustrates how loop guard works to maintain a loop-

free topology by keeping alternate ports in the blocking state when they

stop receiving BPDUs. Loop guard can also work on root and designated

ports that are in the forwarding state. This is illustrated in the next two

examples.

In the first example, the root bridge stops transmitting BPDUs. If switch 3

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

769

is not using loop guard, it continues to forward traffic on port 4. But since

no BPDUs are received on the port, it assumes that the device connected

to the port is not an RSTP device. Since switch 2 becomes the new root

bridge, port 14 on switch 3 transitions to the forwarding state from the

blocking state to become the new root port for the switch. The result is a

network loop.

Figure 151. Loop Guard Example 4

But if loop guard is active on port 4 on switch 3, the port is placed in the

blocking state since the reception of BPDUs is interrupted. This blocks the

loop. The port remains in the blocking state until it again receives BPDUs

or the switch is reset.

STP and RSTP Root Guard

The Root Guard feature enforces the root bridge placement in a network. It

ensures the port that you have configured with the Root Guard feature is a

designated port. Normally, root bridge ports are all designated ports,

unless two or more ports of the root bridge are connected.

If the bridge receives a superior BPDU on a root-designated port, the Root

Guard feature changes the state of the port to a “root inconsistent” STP

state. This state varies depending on the spanning tree designation. For

STP, this is a listening state. For RSTP (and MSTP), this is a discarding

state. For more information about this command, see “SPANNING-TREE

GUARD ROOT” on page 821 in the RSTP Commands chapter.

Note

This feature is also supported in MSTP. See “MSTP Root Guard” on

page 852 for more information.

Designating STP as the Active Spanning Tree Protocol

Before you can configure the STP parameters or enable the protocol on

the switch, you have to designate STP as the active spanning tree

protocol. The switch supports other spanning tree protocols in addition to

STP, but only one of them can be active at a time on the device.

To designate STP as the active spanning tree protocol on the switch, use

the SPANNING-TREE MODE STP command in the Global Configuration

mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree mode stp

After you enter the command, you can configure the STP parameters and

enable the protocol so that the switch begins to use the protocol.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

775

Enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol

To enable STP on the switch, use the SPANNING-TREE STP ENABLE

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree stp enable

The switch immediately begins to send BPDUs from its ports to participate

in the spanning tree domain.

Chapter 52: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Procedures

776

Setting the Switch Parameters

This table lists the STP functions that are controlled at the switch level.

These commands are located in the Global Configuration mode and apply

to the entire switch.

Unless you are familiar with their functions, you should not change the

forward time, hello time, and max-age parameters from their default

values on the switch. These parameters have to be set in accordance with

the following formulas, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:

max-age <= 2 x (forward time - 1.0 second)

max-age => 2 x (hello time + 1.0 second)

This example changes the forward time to 24 seconds, the hello time to 5

seconds and the max-age to 20:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree forward-time 24

awplus(config)# spanning-tree hello-time 5

awplus(config)# spanning-tree max-age 20

If you want the switch to be the root bridge of the spanning tree domain,

assign it a low priority number with the SPANNING-TREE PRIORITY

command. The bridge priority has a range 0 to 61,440 in increments of

4.096. The default value is 32,768.

Note

Before disabling the spanning tree protocol on the switch, display

the STP states of the ports and disconnect the network cables from

any ports that are in the discarding state. Ports that are in the

discarding state begin to forward traffic again when STP is disabled.

SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

Syntax

spanning-tree portfast

Parameters

None

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to designate an edge port on the switch. Edge ports

are not connected to spanning tree devices or to LANs that have spanning

tree devices. As a consequence, edge ports do not receive BPDUs. If an

edge port starts to receive BPDUs, it is no longer considered to be an

edge port.

This command is used in conjunction with the SPANNING-TREE

PORTFAST BPDU-GUARD command.

Confirmation Command

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

798

Designating RSTP as the Active Spanning Tree Protocol

The first step to using RSTP on the switch is to designate it as the active

spanning tree protocol. This is accomplished with the SPANNING-TREE

MODE RSTP command in the Global Configuration mode. Afterwards,

you can configure its settings and enable the protocol. Here is the

command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree mode rstp

Because RSTP is the default active spanning tree protocol on the switch,

you only need to use this command if you activated STP and now want to

change the switch back to RSTP.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

799

Enabling the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

To enable RSTP on the switch, use the SPANNING-TREE RSTP ENABLE

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree rstp enable

After you enter the command, the switch immediately begins to participate

in the spanning tree domain. It sends BPDUs from its ports and disables

ports if it determines, along with the other STP and RSTP devices, that

there are loops in the network topology.

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

800

Configuring the Switch Parameters

This table lists the RSTP parameters that are set in the Global

Configuration mode and apply to all the ports on the switch.

Setting the

Forward Time,

Hello Time, and

Max Age

You should not change the forward time, hello time, and max-age

parameters from their default values unless you are familiar with their

functions. These parameters have to be set in accordance with the

following formulas, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:

max-age <= 2 x (forward time - 1.0 second)

max-age >= 2 x (hello time + 1.0 second)

This example reduces the max-age parameter to discard BPDUs after 10

seconds:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree max-age 10

Table 89. RSTP Switch Parameters

To Use This Command Range

Specify how long the ports remain in

the listening and learning states

before they transition to the forwarding

state.

SPANNING-TREE FORWARD-TIME

forwardtime

4 to 30

seconds

Configure how frequently the switch

sends spanning tree configuration

information if it is the root bridge or is

trying to become the root bridge.

SPANNING-TREE HELLO-TIME

hellotime

1 to 10 seconds

Configure how long the switch stores

bridge protocol data units (BPDUs)

before deleting them.

SPANNING-TREE MAX-AGE maxage 6 to 40 seconds

Assign the switch a priority number,

which is used to determine the root

bridge in the spanning tree domain.

SPANNING-TREE PRIORITY priority 0 to 61,440, in

increments of

4,096

Enable BPDU guard so that the switch

disables edge ports if they receive

BPDU packets.

SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

BPDU-GUARD

Disable BPDU guard on the switch. NO SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

BPDU-GUARD

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

801

This example increases the forward time to 25 seconds and the hello time

to 8 seconds. The forward time controls the amount of time the ports

remain in the listening and learning states, and the hello time controls how

frequently the switch sends spanning tree configuration information:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree forward-time 25

awplus(config)# spanning-tree hello-time 8

For reference information, refer to “SPANNING-TREE FORWARD-TIME”

on page 820, “SPANNING-TREE HELLO-TIME” on page 822 and

“SPANNING-TREE MAX-AGE” on page 825.

Setting the Bridge

Priority

The bridges of a spanning tree domain use their priority values to

determine the root bridge. The lower the value, the higher the priority. The

bridge with the highest priority becomes the root bridge. The range of the

parameter is 0 to 61,440, in increments of 4,096. The priority values can

be set only in increments of 4,096.

This example assigns the switch the low priority number 4,096 to increase

the likelihood of it becoming the root bridge of the spanning tree domain:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree priority 4096

For reference information, refer to “SPANNING-TREE PRIORITY (Bridge

Priority)” on page 830.

Enabling or

Disabling BPDU

Guard

The BPDU guard feature disables edge ports if they receive BPDU

packets. For background information, refer to “RSTP and MSTP BPDU

Guard” on page 764. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpdu-guard

After you enter the command, the switch disables any edge ports that

receive BPDU packets.

Note

To enable an edge port that was disabled by the BPDU guard

feature, use the NO SHUTDOWN command. For instructions, refer

to “NO SHUTDOWN” on page 219. If a port is still receiving BPDUs,

the switch will disable it again unless you disconnect the network

cable.

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

802

To disable the BPDU guard feature on the switch, use the NO

SPANNING-TREE BPDU-GUARD command in the Global Configuration

mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no spanning-tree portfast bpdu-guard

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

803

Configuring the Port Parameters

This table lists the RSTP port parameters. These parameters are set on

the individual ports in the Port Interface mode.

Configuring Port

Costs

The command to change the costs of the ports is the SPANNING-TREE

PATH-COST command. The lower the port cost, the greater the likelihood

a port will be selected as part of the active path to the root bridge if there is

a physical loop in the topology.

This example assigns a port cost of 12 to port 2:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree path-cost 12

Table 90. RSTP Port Parameters

To Use This Command Range

Specify port costs. SPANNING-TREE PATH-COST path-

cost

1 to 200000000

Assign a priority value to be used as a

tie breaker when two or more paths

have equal costs to the root bridge.

SPANNING-TREE PRIORITY priority 0 to 240 in

increments of

Designate edge ports. SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST -

Remove the edge port designation

from ports.

NO SPANNING-TREE -

Designate ports as point-to-point or

shared links.

SPANNING-TREE LINK-TYPE

Enable the loop-guard feature. SPANNING-TREE LOOP-GUARD -

Disable the loop-guard feature. NO SPANNING-TREE LOOP-GUARD -

Activate the BPDU guard feature. SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

BPDU-GUARD

Activate the BPDU guard timer. SPANNING-TREE ERRDISABLE-

TIMEOUT ENABLE

Specify the time interval. SPANNING-TREE ERRDISABLE-

TIMEOUT INTERVAL

10 to 1000000

seconds

Deactivate the BPDU guard timer. NO SPANNING-TREE ERRDISABLE-

TIMEOUT ENABLE

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

804

Configuring Port

Priorities

If RSTP discovers a loop in the topology, but the two paths that constitute

the loop have the same path cost, the spanning tree protocol uses port

priorities to determine which path to make active and which to place in the

blocking state. The lower the priority value, the higher the priority and the

greater the likelihood of a port being the active, designated port in the

event of duplicate paths.

The range is 0 to 240, in increments of 16. The priority values can be set

only in increments of 16. The default value is 128.

This example assigns ports 20 and 21 a port priority value of 192:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.20,port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree priority 192

Designating

Point-to-point

and Shared Ports

This example designates ports 11 to 23 as point-to-point ports:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11-port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree link-type point-to-point

This example designates ports 26 and 27 as shared ports:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.26,port1.0.27

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree link-type shared

Designating Edge

Ports

If a port on the switch is not connected to a device or a network that is

running the spanning tree protocol, you can designate it as an edge port to

reduce the time of the spanning tree convergence process. Edge ports are

not taken into account in the convergence process. If a port that has been

designated as an edge port begins to receive RSTP BPDUs, the switch

automatically considers it as a non-edge port.

To designate ports as edge ports, use the SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST

command. This example configures port 16 as an edge port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

805

This example uses the NO SPANNING-TREE command to remove port

21 as an edge port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# no spanning-tree portfast

Enabling or

Disabling RSTP

Loop-guard

The RSTP loop guard feature disables ports if they stop receiving

spanning tree BPDUs from their link partners when there is no change to

the link state. For background information, refer to “STP, RSTP, MSTP

Loop Guard” on page 766. In this example, the feature is activated on

ports 20 and 21:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.20,port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# spanning-tree loop-guard

A port disabled by this feature remains disabled until it starts to receive

BPDU packets again or the switch is reset.

To disable the loop-guard feature, use the NO SPANNING-TREE LOOP-

GUARD command. This example disables the feature on port 3:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.3

awplus(config-if)# no spanning-tree loop-guard

Note

Ports disabled by the loop-guard feature do not forward traffic again

when you disable the feature. They only forward traffic if they

receive BPDUs again or you reset the switch.

Enabling or

Disabling BPDU

Guard

The BPDU guard feature disables edge ports that receive BPDU packets.

For background information, refer to “RSTP and MSTP BPDU Guard” on

page 764. This example activates the feature on the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree portfast bpdu-guard

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

806

Edge ports that are disabled by the feature remain disabled until you

manually enable them again with the NO SHUTDOWN command. As an

alternative, you can activate the BPDU guard timer so that the switch

automatically reactivates disabled ports after the specified period of time.

This example activates the timer and sets it to 1000 seconds:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# spanning-tree errdisable-timeout enable

awplus(config)# spanning-tree errdisable-timeout interval

1000

To disable BPDU guard on the switch, use the NO SPANNING-TREE

PORTFAST BPDU-GUARD command, shown in this example:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no spanning-tree portfast bpdu guard

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

807

Disabling the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

To disable RSTP on the switch, use the NO SPANNING-TREE RSTP

ENABLE command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the

command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no spanning-tree rstp enable

To view the current status of RSTP, refer to “Displaying RSTP Settings” on

page 808.

Note

Before disabling the spanning tree protocol on the switch, display

the RSTP states of the ports and disconnect the network cables

from any ports that are in the discarding state. Ports that are in the

discarding state begin to forward traffic again when RSTP is

disabled. Leaving the cables connected may result in broadcast

storms from network loops. To view the states of the ports, refer to

“Displaying RSTP Settings” on page 808.

Chapter 54: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) Procedures

808

Displaying RSTP Settings

To view the RSTP settings on the switch, use the SHOW SPANNING-

TREE in the Privileged Exec mode. The command has this format:

show spanning-tree [interface

port

]

Use the INTERFACE parameter to view the settings of the specified ports.

Otherwise, omit the parameter to view all the ports. Here is an example of

the information the command displays:

SPANNING-TREE FORWARD-TIME

Syntax

spanning-tree forward-time

forwardtime

Parameters

forwardtime

Specifies the forward time. The range is 4 to 30 seconds. The

default is 15 seconds.

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to set the forward time parameter to control how fast

the ports change their spanning tree states when moving towards the

forwarding state. For RSTP, this parameter specifies the maximum time

taken by the ports to transition from the discarding state to the learning

state and from the learning state to the forwarding state.

This parameter is active only if the switch is acting as the root bridge.

Switches that are not acting as the root bridge use a dynamic value

supplied by the root bridge.

The forward time, max-age and hello time parameters should be set

according to the following formulas, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:

max-age <= 2 x (forward time - 1.0 second)

max-age >= 2 x (hello time + 1.0 second)

Use the no version of this command, NO SPANNING-TREE FORWARD-

TIME, to set the command to its default value of 15 seconds.

Parameters

None

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to enable the Root Guard feature on the specified port.

The Root Guard feature ensures that the port on which it is enabled is a

designated port. If a Root-Guard-enabled port receives a superior BPDU

that may cause it to become a root port, then the port traffic is placed in a

“root inconsistent” state. For RSTP, this state is a discarding state.

Use the no version of this command, NO SPANNING-TREE GUARD

ROOT, to disable the Root Guard feature on the specified port.

To view the current setting for this parameter, refer to “SHOW

SPANNING-TREE” on page 816.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

834

Overview

As mentioned in Chapter 51, “STP, RSTP and MSTP Protocols” on page

753, STP and RSTP are referred to as single-instance spanning trees that

search for physical loops across all VLANs in a bridged network. When

loops are detected, the protocols stop the loops by placing one or more

bridge ports in a blocking state.

As explained in “Spanning Tree and VLANs” on page 763, STP and RSTP

can result in VLAN fragmentation where VLANs that span multiple bridges

are connected together with untagged ports. The untagged ports creating

the links can represent a physical loop in the network, which are blocked

by spanning tree. This can result in a loss of communication between

different parts of the same VLAN.

One way to resolve this, other than by not activating spanning tree on your

network, is to link the switches using tagged ports, which can handle traffic

from multiple VLANs simultaneously. The drawback to this approach is

that the link formed by the tagged ports can create a bottleneck to your

Ethernet traffic, resulting in reduced network performance.

Another approach is to use the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).

This spanning tree shares many of the same characteristics as RSTP. It

features rapid convergence and has many of the same parameters. But

the main difference is that while RSTP, just like STP, supports only a

single-instance spanning tree, MSTP supports multiple spanning trees

within a network.

The following sections describe some of the terms and concepts relating

to MSTP. If you are not familiar with spanning tree or RSTP, review

“Overview” on page 754.

Note

Do not activate MSTP on an AT-FS970M Allied Telesis Switch

without first familiarizing yourself with the following concepts and

guidelines. Unlike STP and RSTP, you cannot activate this spanning

tree protocol on a switch without first configuring the protocol

parameters.

Note

The AlliedWare Plus MSTP implementation complies fully with the

new IEEE 802.1s standard and should be interoperable with any

other vendor’s fully compliant 802.1s implementation.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

835

Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI)

The individual spanning trees in MSTP are referred to as Multiple

Spanning Tree Instances (MSTIs). An MSTI can span any number of

AT-FS970M Switches. The switch can support up to 15 MSTIs at a time.

To create an MSTI, you first assign it a number, referred to as the MSTI ID.

The range is 1 to 15. (The switch is shipped with a default MSTI with an

MSTI ID of 0. This default spanning tree instance is discussed later in

“Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CIST)” on page 844.)

After you have selected an MSTI ID, you need to define the scope of the

MSTI by assigning one or more VLANs to it. An instance can contain any

number of VLANs, but a VLAN can belong to only one MSTI at a time.

Following are several examples. Figure 157 illustrates two AT-FS970M

Switches, each containing the two VLANs Sales and Production. The two

parts of each VLAN are connected with a direct link using untagged ports

on both switches. If the switches were running STP or RSTP, one of the

links would be blocked because the links constitute a physical loop. Which

link would be blocked depends on the STP or RSTP bridge settings. In

Figure 157, the link between the two parts of the Production VLAN is

blocked, resulting in a loss of communications between the two parts of

the Production VLAN.

Figure 157. VLAN Fragmentation with STP or RSTP

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

836

Figure 158 illustrates the same two AT-FS970M Switches and the same

two virtual LANs. But in this example, the two switches are running MSTP,

and the two VLANs have been assigned different spanning tree instances.

Now that they reside in different MSTIs, both links remain active, enabling

the VLANs to forward traffic over their respective direct link.

Figure 158. MSTP Example of Two Spanning Tree Instances

An MSTI can contain more than one VLAN. This is illustrated in Figure 159

on page 837 where there are two AT-FS970M Switches with four VLANs.

There are two MSTIs, each containing two VLANs. MSTI 1 contains the

Sales and Presales VLANs and MSTI 2 contains the Design and

Engineering VLANs.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

837

Figure 159. Multiple VLANs in an MSTI

In this example, because an MSTI contains more than one VLAN, the links

between the VLAN parts are made with tagged, not untagged, ports so

that they can carry traffic from more than one virtual LAN. Referring again

to Figure 159, the tagged link in MSTI 1 is carrying traffic for both the

Presales and Sales VLANs while the tagged link in MSTI 2 is carrying

traffic for the Design and Engineering VLANs.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

838

MSTI Guidelines

Following are several guidelines to keep in mind about MSTIs:

The AT-FS970M Switch can support up to 15 spanning tree

instances, including the Common and Internal Spanning Tree

(CIST).

An MSTI can contain any number of VLANs.

A VLAN can belong to only one MSTI at a time.

A switch port can belong to more than one spanning tree instance

at a time by being an untagged and tagged member of VLANs

belonging to different MSTIs. This is possible because a port can

be in different MSTP states for different MSTIs simultaneously. For

example, a port can be in the MSTP blocking state for one MSTI

and the forwarding state for another spanning tree instance. For

further information, refer to “Ports in Multiple MSTIs” on page 840.

A router or Layer 3 network device is required to forward traffic

between different VLANs.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

839

VLAN and MSTI Associations

Part of the task to configuring MSTP involves assigning VLANs to

spanning tree instances. The mapping of VLANs to MSTIs is called

associations. A VLAN, either port-based or tagged, can belong to only one

instance at a time, but an instance can contain any number of VLANs.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

840

Ports in Multiple MSTIs

A port can be a member of more than one MSTI at a time if it is a tagged

member of one or more VLANs assigned to different MSTIs. In this

circumstance, a port might be have to operate in different spanning tree

states simultaneously, depending on the requirements of the MSTIs. For

example, a port that belongs to two different VLANs in two different MSTIs

might operate in the forwarding state in one MSTI and the blocking state in

the other.

A port’s MSTI parameter settings are divided into two groups. The first

group is referred to as generic parameters. These are set just once on a

port and apply to all the MSTIs where the port is a member. One of these

parameters is the external path cost, which sets the operating cost of a

port connected to a device outside its region. A port, even if it belongs to

multiple MSTIs, can have only one external path cost. Other generic

parameters designate the port as an edge port or a point-to-point port.

The second group of port parameters can be set differently for each MSTI

where a port is a member. One parameter, the internal path cost, specifies

the operating cost of a port when it is connected to a bridge in the same

MSTP region. The other parameter in this group sets the port priority,

which acts as a tie breaker when two or more ports have equal costs to a

regional root bridge.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

841

Multiple Spanning Tree Regions

Another important concept of MSTP is regions. An MSTP region is defined

as a group of bridges that share exactly the same MSTI characteristics.

These characteristics are:

Configuration name

Revision number

VLANs

VLAN to MSTI ID associations

A configuration name is a name assigned to a region to identify it. You

must assign each bridge in a region exactly the same name, even the

same upper and lowercase lettering. Identifying the regions in your

network is easier if you choose names that are characteristic of the

functions of the nodes and bridges of the region. Examples are Sales

Region and Engineering Region.

The revision number is an arbitrary number assigned to a region. This

number can be used to keep track of the revision level of a region’s

configuration. For example, you might use this value to maintain the

number of times you revise a particular MSTP region. It is not important

that you maintain this number, only that each bridge in a region has the

same number.

The bridges of a particular region must also have the same VLANs. The

names of the VLANs and the VIDs must be the same on all bridges of a

region.

Finally, the VLANs in the bridges must be associated to the same MSTIs.

If any of the above information is different on two bridges, MSTP does

consider the bridges as residing in different regions.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

842

Table 92 illustrates the concept of regions. It shows one MSTP region

consisting of two AT-FS970M Switches. Each switch in the region has the

same configuration name and revision level. The switches also have the

same five VLANs, and the VLANs are associated with the same MSTIs.

The AT-FS970M Switch determines regional boundaries by examining the

MSTP BPDUs received on the ports. A port that receives an MSTP BPDU

from another bridge with regional information different from its own is

considered to be a boundary port and the bridge connected to the port as

belonging to another region.

The same is true for any ports connected to bridges running the single-

instance spanning tree STP or RSTP. Those ports are also considered as

part of another region.

Each MSTI functions as an independent spanning tree within a region.

Consequently, each MSTI must have a root bridge to locate physical loops

within the spanning tree instance. An MSTI’s root bridge is called a

regional root. The MSTIs within a region may share the same regional root

or they can have different regional roots.

A regional root for an MSTI must be within the region where the MSTI is

located. An MSTI cannot have a regional root that is outside its region.

A regional root is selected by a combination of the MSTI priority value and

the bridge’s MAC address. The MSTI priority is analogous to the RSTP

bridge priority value. Where they differ is that while the RSTP bridge

priority is used to determine the root bridge for an entire bridged network,

MSTI priority is used only to determine the regional root for a particular

The range for this parameter is the same as the RSTP bridge priority, from

Region

Guidelines

Following are several points to remember about regions.

A network can contain any number of regions, and a region can

contain any number of AT-FS970M Switches.

The AT-FS970M Switch can belong to only one region at a time.

A region can contain any number of VLANs.

All of the bridges in a region must have the same configuration

name, revision level, VLANs, and VLAN to MSTI associations.

An MSTI cannot span multiple regions.

Each MSTI must have a regional root for locating loops in the

instance. MSTIs can share the same regional root or have different

roots. A regional root is determined by the MSTI priority value and

a bridge’s MAC address.

The regional root of an MSTI must be in the same region as the

MSTI.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

844

Common and

Internal

Spanning Tree

(CIST)

MSTP has a default spanning tree instance called the Common and

Internal Spanning Tree (CIST). This instance has an MSTI ID of 0.

This instance has unique features and functions that make it different from

the MSTIs that you create yourself. Firstly, you cannot delete this

instance, and you cannot change its MSTI ID.

Secondly, when you create a new port-based or tagged VLAN, it is by

default associated with the CIST and is automatically given an MSTI ID of

0. The Default_VLAN is also associated by default with CIST.

Another critical difference is that when you assign a VLAN to another

MSTI, it still partially remains a member of CIST. This is because CIST is

used by MSTP to communicate with other MSTP regions and with any

RSTP and STP single-instance spanning trees in the network. MSTP uses

CIST to participate in the creation of a spanning tree between different

regions and between regions and single-instance spanning tree, to form

one spanning tree for the entire bridged network.

MSTP uses CIST to form the spanning tree of an entire bridged network

because CIST can cross regional boundaries, while an MSTI cannot. If a

port is a boundary port, that is, if it is connected to another region, that port

automatically belongs solely to CIST, even if it was assigned to an MSTI,

because only CIST is active outside of a region.

As mentioned earlier, every MSTI must have a root bridge, referred to as a

regional root, in order to locate loops that might exist within the instance.

CIST must also have a regional root. However, the CIST regional root

communicates with the other MSTP regions and single-instance spanning

trees in the bridged network.

The CIST regional root is set with the CIST Priority parameter. This

parameter, which functions similar to the RSTP bridge priority value,

selects the root bridge for the entire bridged network. If the AT-FS970M

switch has the lowest CIST Priority value among all the spanning tree

bridges, it functions as the root bridge for all the MSTP regions and STP

and RSTP single-instance spanning trees in the network.

MSTP with STP

and RSTP

MSTP is fully compatible with STP and RSTP. If a port on the AT-FS970M

switch running MSTP receives STP BPDUs, the port sends only STP

BPDU packets. If a port receives RSTP BPDUs, the port sends MSTP

BPDUs because RSTP can process MSTP BPDUs.

A port connected to a bridge running STP or RSTP is considered to be a

boundary port of the MSTP region and the bridge as belonging to a

different region.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

845

An MSTP region can be considered as a virtual bridge. The implication is

that other MSTP regions and STP and RSTP single-instance spanning

trees cannot discern the topology or constitution of an MSTP region. The

only bridge they are aware of is the regional root of the CIST instance.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

846

Summary of Guidelines

Careful planning is essential for the successful implementation of MSTP.

This section reviews all the rules and guidelines mentioned in earlier

sections, and contains a few new ones:

The AT-FS970M Switch can support up to 15 spanning tree

instances, including the CIST.

An MSTI can contain any number of VLANs.

A VLAN can belong to only one MSTI at a time.

The range of an MSTI ID is from 1 to 15.

The CIST ID is 0. You cannot change this value.

A switch port can belong to more than one spanning tree instance

at a time. This allows you to assign a port as an untagged and

tagged member of VLANs that belong to different MSTIs. What

makes this possible is a port’s ability to be in different MSTP states

for different MSTIs simultaneously. For example, a port can be in

the MSTP blocking state for one MSTI and the forwarding state for

another spanning tree instance.

A router or Layer 3 network device is required to forward traffic

between VLANs.

A network can contain any number of regions, and a region can

contain any number of AT-FS970M Switches.

The AT-FS970M Switch can belong to only one region at a time.

A region can contain any number of VLANs.

All of the bridges in a region must have the same configuration

name, revision level, VLANs, and VLAN to MSTI associations.

An MSTI cannot span multiple regions.

Each MSTI must have a regional root for locating loops in the

instance. MSTIs can share the same regional root or have different

roots. A regional root is determined by the MSTI priority value and

a bridge’s MAC address.

The regional root of an MSTI must be in the same region as the

MSTI.

The CIST must have a regional root for communicating with other

regions and single-instance spanning trees.

MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP.

A port transmits CIST information even when it is associated with

another MSTI ID. However, in determining network loops, MSTI

takes precedence over CIST. (This is explained in more detail in

“Associating VLANs to MSTIs” on page 848.)

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

847

Note

The AlliedWare Plus MSTP implementation complies fully with the

new IEEE 802.1s standard. Any other vendor’s fully compliant

802.1s implementation is interoperable with the AlliedWare Plus

implementation.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

848

Associating VLANs to MSTIs

Allied Telesis recommends that you assign all VLANs on a switch to an

MSTI. You should not leave a VLAN assigned to just the CIST, including

the Default_VLAN. This is to prevent the blocking of a port that should be

in the forwarding state. The reason for this guideline is explained below.

An MSTP BPDU contains the instance to which the port transmitting the

packet belongs. By default, all ports belong to the CIST instance. So CIST

is included in the BPDU. If the port is a member of a VLAN that has been

assigned to another MSTI, that information is also included in the BPDU.

This is illustrated in Figure 160. Port 8 in switch A is a member of a VLAN

assigned to MSTI ID 7 while port 1 is a member of a VLAN assigned to

MSTI ID 10. The BPDUs transmitted by port 8 to switch B would indicate

that the port is a member of both CIST and MSTI 7, while the BPDUs from

port 1 would indicate the port is a member of the CIST and MSTI 10.

Figure 160. CIST and VLAN Guideline - Example 1

At first glance, it might appear that because both ports belong to CIST, a

loop exists between the switches and that MSTP blocks a port to stop the

loop. However, within a region, MSTI takes precedence over CIST. When

switch B receives a packet from switch A, it uses MSTI, not CIST, to

determine whether a loop exists. Because both ports on switch A belong

to different MSTIs, switch B determines that no loop exists.

A problem can arise if you assign some VLANs to MSTIs while leaving

others just to CIST. The problem is illustrated in Figure 161 on page 849.

The network is the same as the previous example. The only difference is

that the VLAN containing port 8 on Switch A is not assigned to an MSTI,

and belongs only to CIST with its MSTI ID of 0.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

849

Figure 161. CIST and VLAN Guideline - Example 2

When port 4 on switch B receives a BPDU, the switch notes the port

sending the packet belongs only to CIST. Therefore, switch B uses CIST

in determining whether a loop exists. The result would be that the switch

detects a loop because the other port is also receiving BPDU packets from

CIST 0. Switch B would block a port to cancel the loop.

To avoid this issue, always assign all VLANs on a switch, including the

Default_VLAN, to an MSTI. This guarantees that all ports on the switch

have an MSTI ID and that helps to ensure that loop detection is based on

MSTI, not CIST.

Chapter 56: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

850

Connecting VLANs Across Different Regions

Special consideration needs to be taken into account when you connect

different MSTP regions or an MSTP region and a single-instance STP or

RSTP region. Unless planned properly, VLAN fragmentation can occur

between the VLANS of your network.

As mentioned previously, only the CIST can span regions. An MSTI

cannot. Consequently, you may run into a problem if you use more than

one physical data link to connect together various parts of VLANs that

reside in bridges in different regions. The result can be a physical loop,

which spanning tree disables by blocking ports.

This is illustrated in Figure 162. The example show two switches, each

residing in a different region. Port 5 in switch A is a boundary port. It is an

untagged member of the Accounting VLAN, which has been associated

with MSTI 4. Port 16 is a tagged and untagged member of three different

VLANs, all associated with MSTI 12.

If both switches were a part of the same region, there would be no

problem because the ports reside in different spanning tree instances.

However, the switches are part of different regions, and MSTIs do not

cross regions. Consequently, the result is that spanning tree would

determine that a loop exists between the regions, and Switch B would

block a port.

Figure 162. Spanning Regions - Example 1

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

851

There are several ways to address this issue. The first is to have only one

MSTP region for each subnet in your network.

Another approach is to group those VLANs that need to span regions into

the same MSTI. In this case, VLANs that do not span regions can be

assigned to other MSTIs.

Here is an example. Assume that you have two regions that contain the

following VLANS:

The two regions share three VLANs: Technical Support, Product

Management, and Accounting. You can group these three VLANs into the

same MSTI in each region. For instance, for Region 1 you might group the

three VLANs in MSTI 11 and in Region 2 you could group them into MSTI

6. After they are grouped, you can connect the VLANs across the regions

using a link of untagged/tagged ports. See Figure 163.

MSTP Root Guard

The Root Guard feature enforces the root bridge placement in a network.

It ensures the port that you have configured with the Root Guard feature is

a designated port. Normally, root bridge ports are all designated ports,

unless two or more ports of the root bridge are connected.

If the bridge receives a superior BPDU on a root-designated port, the Root

Guard feature changes the state of the port to a “root inconsistent” STP

state. This state varies depending on the spanning tree designation. For

MSTP, this is a discarding state. For more information about this

command, see “SPANNING-TREE GUARD ROOT” on page 867.

Note

This feature is also supported in STP and RSTP.

Mode

Interface Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to set the port priority for an MST instance (MSTI).

This command sets the value of the priority field contained in the port

identifier. The MST algorithm uses the port priority when determining the

root port for the switch in the MSTI. The port with the lowest value is

considered to have the highest priority and is chosen as the root port over

a port— equivalent in all other aspects— but with a higher priority value.

The default value is 32768. For information about MSTI, see “MSTI

Guidelines” on page 838.

The range is 0 to 61,440, in increments of 4,096. The range is divided into

the sixteen increments listed in Table 95. You specify the increment that

represents the bridge priority value you want to assign the switch. The

default value is 32,768 (increment 8).

SPANNING-TREE MST INSTANCE

Syntax

spanning-tree mst

instance

<1-15>

Parameters

instance

Specifies an instance ID. The range is from 1 to 15.

Mode

Interface Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to associate a Multiple Spanning Tree instance (MSTI)

with a port. Before you assign an instance ID to a port, you must create an

instance. To create an instance, use the INSTANCE MSTI-ID VLAN

command. See “INSTANCE MSTI-ID VLAN” on page 857.

Ports are automatically configured to send and receive spanning-tree

information for the associated MSTI when you assign a VLAN to the MSTI

using the INSTANCE MST-ID VLAN command. For information about this

command, see “INSTANCE MSTI-ID VLAN” on page 857.

To remove the association between an MST instance and a port, use the

NO SPANNING-TREE MST INSTANCE command. In addition, to disable

the automatic configuration of member ports of a VLAN to an associated

MSTI, use the NO SPANNING-TREE MST INSTANCE command to

remove the member port from the MSTI.

Confirmation Command

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

880

Overview

A VLAN is a group of ports that form a logical Ethernet segment on an

Ethernet switch. The ports of a VLAN form an independent traffic domain

in which the traffic generated by the nodes remains within the VLAN.

VLANs let you segment your network through the switch’s management

software so that you can group nodes with related functions into their own

separate, logical LAN segments. These VLAN groupings can be based on

similar data needs or security requirements. For example, you could

create separate VLANs for the different departments in your company,

such as one for Sales and another for Accounting.

VLANs offer several important benefits:

Improved network performance

Network performance often suffers as networks grow in size and

as traffic increases. The more nodes on each LAN segment vying

for bandwidth, the greater the likelihood overall network

performance will decrease.

VLANs improve network perform because VLAN traffic stays within

the VLANs. The nodes of a VLAN receive traffic only from nodes of

the same VLAN. This reduces the need for nodes to handle traffic

not destined for them and frees up bandwidth within all the logical

workgroups.

In addition, broadcast traffic remains within a VLAN because each

VLAN constitutes a separate broadcast domain. This, too, can

improve overall network performance.

Increased security

Because network traffic generated by a node in a VLAN is

restricted only to the other nodes of the same VLAN, you can use

VLANs to control the flow of packets in your network and prevent

packets from flowing to unauthorized end nodes.

Simplified network management

VLANs can also simplify network management. Before the advent

of VLANs, physical changes to the network often had to be made

at the switches in the wiring closets. For example, if an employee

changed departments, changing the employee’s LAN segment

assignment often required a change to the wiring at the switch.

With VLANS, you can use the switch’s management software to

change the LAN segment assignments of end nodes, without

having to physically move workstations or move cables from one

switch port to another port.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

881

Virtual LANs can also span more than one switch. This makes it

possible to create VLANs of end nodes that are connected to

switches located in different physical locations.

The switch supports the following types of VLANs you can create yourself:

Port-based VLANs

Tagged VLANs

These VLANs are described in the following sections.

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

882

Port-based VLAN Overview

As the “Overview” on page 880 explains, a VLAN consists of a group of

ports that form an independent traffic domain on one or more Ethernet

switches. Traffic generated by the end nodes remain within their

respective VLANs and does not cross over to the end nodes of other

VLANs unless there is an interconnection device, such as a router or

Layer 3 switch.

A port-based VLAN is a group of ports on a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that

form a logical Ethernet segment. Each port of a port-based VLAN can

belong to only one VLAN at a time.

A port-based VLAN can have as many or as few ports as needed. The

VLAN can consist of all the ports on an Ethernet switch, or just a few ports.

A port-based VLAN also can span switches and consist of ports from

multiple Ethernet switches.

Note

The switch is pre-configured with one port-based VLAN, called the

Default_VLAN. All ports on the switch are members of this VLAN.

The parts that make up a port-based VLAN are:

VLAN name

VLAN Identifier

Untagged ports

Port VLAN Identifier

VLAN Name To create a port-based VLAN, you must give it a name. The name should

reflect the function of the network devices that are to be members of the

VLAN. Examples include Sales, Production, and Engineering.

VLAN Identifier Every VLAN in a network must have a unique number assigned to it. This

number is called the VLAN identifier (VID). This number uniquely identifies

a VLAN in the switch and the network.

If a VLAN consists only of ports located on one physical switch in your

network, you assign it a unique VID that is different from all other VLANs in

your network.

If a VLAN spans multiple switches, then assign the same VID for the

VLAN on the different switches. Then the switches are able to recognize

and forward frames belonging to the same VLAN even though the VLAN

spans multiple switches.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

883

For example, if you had a port-based VLAN named Marketing that

spanned three switches, assign the Marketing VLAN on each switch the

same VID.

You can assign this number manually or allow the management software

to do it automatically. If you allow the management software to do it

automatically, it selects the next available VID. This is acceptable when

you are creating a new, unique VLAN.

If you are creating a VLAN that is part of a larger VLAN that spans several

switches, then you need to assign the number yourself so that the VLAN

has the same VID on all the switches.

Port VLAN

Identifier

Each port in a port-based VLAN must have a port VLAN identifier (PVID).

The switch associates a frame to a port-based VLAN by the PVID

assigned to a port on which a frame is received, and forwards a frame only

to those ports with the same PVID. Consequently, all ports of a port-based

VLAN must have the same PVID. In addition, the PVID of the ports in a

VLAN must match the VLAN’s VID.

For example, if you create a port-based VLAN on the switch and assign it

a VID of 5, assign the PVID for each port in the VLAN to 5.

Some switches and switch management programs require that you assign

the PVID value for each port manually. However, the management

software performs this task automatically. The software automatically

assigns a PVID to a port, making it identical to the VID of the VLAN to

which the port is a member, when you assign the port as an untagged

member to a VLAN.

Untagged Ports You need to specify which ports on the switch are to be members of a port-

based VLAN. Ports in a port-based VLAN are referred to as untagged

ports and the frames received on the ports as untagged frames. The

names derive from the fact that the frames received on a port do not

contain any information that indicates VLAN membership, and that VLAN

membership is determined solely by a port’s PVID. (There is another type

of VLAN where VLAN membership is determined by information within the

frames themselves, rather than by a port’s PVID. This type of VLAN is

explained in “Tagged VLAN Overview” on page 888.)

A port on the switch can be an untagged member of only one port-based

VLAN at a time. An untagged port cannot be assigned to two port-based

VLANs simultaneously.

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

884

Guidelines to

Creating a Port-

based VLAN

Below are the guidelines to creating a port-based VLAN.

Each port-based VLAN must be assigned a unique VID. If a

particular VLAN spans multiples switches, each part of the VLAN

on the different switches should be assigned the same VID.

A port can be an untagged member of only one port-based VLAN

at a time.

The PVID of a port is identical to the VID of the VLAN where the

port is an untagged member. The PVID value is automatically

assigned by the switch.

A port-based VLAN that spans multiple switches requires a port on

each switch where the VLAN is located to function as an

interconnection between the switches where the various parts of

the VLAN reside.

The switch can support up to a total of 4094 port-based, tagged,

protected ports, and MAC address-based VLANs.

A port set to the 802.1x authenticator or supplicant role must be

changed to the 802.1x none role before you can change its

untagged VLAN assignment. After the VLAN assignment is made,

the port’s role can be changed back again to authenticator or

supplicant, if desired.

You cannot delete the Default VLAN from the switch.

Deleting an untagged port from the Default VLAN without

assigning it to another VLAN results in the port being an untagged

member of no VLAN.

Drawbacks of

Port-based

VLANs

There are several drawbacks to port-based VLANs:

It is not easy to share network resources, such as servers and

printers, across multiple VLANs. A router or Layer 3 switch must

be added to the network to provide a means for interconnecting the

port-based VLANs. The introduction of a router into your network

could create security issues from unauthorized access to your

network.

A VLAN that spans several switches requires a port on each switch

for the interconnection of the various parts of the VLAN. For

example, a VLAN that spans three switches would require one port

on each switch to interconnect the various sections of the VLAN. In

network configurations where there are many individual VLANs

that span switches, many ports could end up being used

ineffectively just to interconnect the various VLANs.

Port-based

Example 1

Figure 167 illustrates an example of one AT-FS970M switch with three

port-based VLANs. (The Default VLAN is not shown in the following

examples.)

Figure 167. Port-based VLAN - Example 1

The table below lists the port assignments for the Sales, Engineering, and

Production VLANs on the switch.

Each VLAN has a unique VID. You assign a VID number when you create

a VLAN.

The ports have been assigned PVID values. A port’s PVID is assigned

automatically by the switch when you create the VLANs. The PVID of a

port is the same as the VID in which the port is an untagged member.

In the example, each VLAN has one port connected to the router. The

router interconnects the various VLANs and functions as a gateway to the

WAN.

example, two VLANs, Sales and Engineering, span two switches.

Figure 168. Port-based VLAN - Example 2

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

887

The table below lists the port assignments for the Sales, Engineering, and

Production VLANs on the switches:

Sales VLAN - This VLAN spans both switches. It has a VID value

of 2 and consists of six untagged ports on the top switch and five

untagged ports on the bottom switch.

The two parts of the VLAN are connected by a direct link from port

4 on the top switch to port 3 on the bottom switch. This direct link

allows the two parts of the Sales VLAN to function as one logical

LAN segment.

Port 6 on the top switch connects to the router. This port allows the

Sales VLAN to exchange Ethernet frames with the other VLANs

and to access the WAN.

Engineering VLAN - The workstations of this VLAN are connected

to ports 9 to 13 on the top switch and ports 16, 18 to 20, and 22 on

the bottom switch.

Because this VLAN spans multiple switches, it needs a direct

connection between its various parts to provide a communications

path. This is provided in the example with a direct connection from

port 10 on the top switch to port 19 on the bottom switch.

This VLAN uses port 12 on the top switch as a connection to the

router and the WAN.

Production VLAN - This is the final VLAN in the example. It has the

VLAN of 4, and its ports have been assigned the PVID also of 4.

The nodes of this VLAN are connected only to the top switch. So

this VLAN does not require a direct connection to the bottom

switch. However, it uses port 20 as a connection to the router.

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

888

Tagged VLAN Overview

The second type of VLAN is the tagged VLAN. VLAN membership in a

tagged VLAN is determined by information within the frames that are

received on a port. This differs from a port-based VLAN, where the PVIDs

assigned to the ports determine VLAN membership.

The VLAN information within an Ethernet frame is referred to as a tag or

tagged header. A tag, which follows the source and destination addresses

in a frame, contains the VID of the VLAN to which the frame belongs

(IEEE 802.3ac standard). As explained earlier in this chapter in “VLAN

Identifier” on page 882, this number uniquely identifies each VLAN in a

network.

When the switch receives a frame with a VLAN tag, referred to as a

tagged frame, the switch forwards the frame only to those ports that share

the same VID.

A port to receive or transmit tagged frames is referred to as a tagged port.

Any network device connected to a tagged port must be IEEE 802.1q

compliant. This is the standard that outlines the requirements and

standards for tagging. The device must be able to process the tagged

information on received frames and add tagged information to transmitted

frames.

The benefit of a tagged VLAN is that the tagged ports can belong to more

than one VLAN at one time. This can greatly simplify the task of adding

shared devices to the network. For example, a server can be configured to

accept and return packets from many different VLANs simultaneously.

Tagged VLANs are also useful where multiple VLANs span across

switches. You can use one port per switch to connect all VLANs on the

switch to another switch.

The IEEE 802.1q standard describes how this tagging information is used

to forward the traffic throughout the switch. The handling of frames tagged

with VIDs coming into a port is straightforward. If the incoming frame’s VID

tag matches one of the VIDs of a VLAN of which the port is a tagged

member, the frame is accepted and forwarded to the appropriate ports. If

the frame’s VID does not match any of the VLANs that the port is a

member of, the frame is discarded.

The parts of a tagged VLAN are similar to those for a port-based VLAN.

They are:

VLAN Name

VLAN Identifier

Tagged and Untagged Ports

Port VLAN Identifier

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

889

Note

For explanations of VLAN name and VLAN identifier, refer back to

“VLAN Name” on page 882 and “VLAN Identifier” on page 882.

Tagged and

Untagged Ports

You need to specify which ports will be members of the VLAN. In the case

of a tagged VLAN, it is usually a combination of both untagged ports and

tagged ports. You specify which ports are tagged and which are untagged

when you create the VLAN.

An untagged port, whether a member of a port-based VLAN or a tagged

VLAN, can be in only one VLAN at a time. However, a tagged port can be

a member of more than one VLAN. A port can also be an untagged

member of one VLAN and a tagged member of different VLANs

simultaneously.

Port VLAN

Identifier

As explained earlier in the discussion on port-based VLANs, the PVID of a

port determines the VLAN where the port is an untagged member.

Because a tagged port determines VLAN membership by examining the

tagged header within the frames that it receives and not the PVID, you

might conclude that there is no need for a PVID. However, the PVID is

used if a tagged port receives an untagged frame— a frame without any

tagged information. The port forwards the frame based on the port’s PVID.

This is only in cases where an untagged frame arrives on a tagged port.

Otherwise, the PVID on a tagged port is ignored.

Guidelines to

Creating a

Tagged VLAN

Below are the guidelines to creating a tagged VLAN.

Each tagged VLAN must have a unique VID. If a VLAN spans

multiple switches, each part of the VLAN on the different switches

must have the same VID.

A tagged port can be a member of multiple VLANs.

An untagged port can be an untagged member of only one VLAN

at a time.

The switch can support up to a total of 4094 port-based, tagged,

protected ports, and MAC address-based VLANs.

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

892

This example is nearly identical to the “Port-based Example 2” on

page 886. Tagged ports have been added to simplify network

implementation and management.

One of the tagged ports is port 2 on the top switch. This port has been

made a tagged member of the three VLANs. It is connected to an IEEE

802.1q compliant server, meaning the server can handle frames from

multiple VLANs. Now all three VLANs can access the server without going

through a router or other interconnection device.

It is important to note that even though the server is accepting frames from

and transmitting frames to more than one VLAN, data separation and

security remain.

Two other tagged ports are used to simplify network design in the

example. They are port 10 on the top switch and port 9 on the lower

switch. These ports have been made tagged members of the Sales and

Engineering VLANs so that they can carry traffic from both VLANs,

simultaneously. These ports provide a common connection that enables

different parts of the same VLAN to communicate with each other while

maintaining data separation between VLANs.

In comparison, the Sales and Engineering VLANs in the “Port-based

Example 2” on page 886 each had to have its own individual network link

between the switches to connect the different parts of the VLANs. But with

tagged ports, you can use one data link to carry data traffic from several

VLANs, while still maintaining data separation and security. The tagged

frames, when received by the switch, are delivered only to those ports that

belong to the VLAN from which the tagged frame originated.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

893

Creating VLANs

To create VLANs, use the VLAN command in the VLAN Configuration

mode. You must specify a name and a VID for a new VLAN in the

command. A name can have up to 20 characters. Giving the VLANs

unique names make them easier to identify.

A new VLAN also needs a VID number, which has a range of 2 to 4094.

(The VID 1 is reserved for the Default_VLAN.) Each VLAN on the switch

must be assigned a unique VID. VLANs that span more than one switch

should be assigned the same VID number on each switch.

Here is the format of the command:

vlan

vid

[name

name

]

This example creates the Engineering VLAN and assigns it a VID of 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 5 name Engineering

Note

The VLAN name field is used only as a description in the SHOW

VLAN command output. It cannot be a substituted for the VID when

specifying a specific VLAN in other commands.

This example creates four new VLANs that have the VIDs of 4, 5, 6 and

11:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 4-6,11

Note

You cannot specify a name when creating more than one VLAN.

New VLANs do not have any ports. To add untagged ports, refer to

“Adding Untagged Ports to VLANs” on page 894. To add tagged ports,

refer to “Adding Tagged Ports to VLANs” on page 896.

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

894

Adding Untagged Ports to VLANs

To add a port to a VLAN as an untagged port, it may be necessary to first

set its mode with the SWITCHPORT MODE ACCESS command in the

Port Interface mode. Once a port’s mode is set to access, it functions as

an untagged port. However, this step may not be necessary because the

default mode setting for all ports is as untagged ports. In fact, the only

situation where you are likely to use the command is on ports that need to

function as untagged ports again after acting as tagged ports. Here is the

format of the command:

switchport mode access [ingress-filter

enable|disable

]

For an explanation of the INGRESS-FILTER parameter, refer to

“SWITCHPORT MODE ACCESS” on page 912.

After you’ve set the mode of a port to access (or if it is already set to that

mode), you can use the SWITCHPORT ACCESS VLAN command, which

is also found in the Port Interface mode, to assign it as an untagged

member of a VLAN. Here is the format of the command:

switchport access vlan

vid

The VID parameter is the VLAN to which you want to add the untagged

port. If you do not know the number, use the SHOW VLAN ALL command

in the User Exec mode or the Privileged Exec mode to view the VLANs on

the switch. You can specify just one VID in the command because a port

can be an untagged member of just one VLAN at a time. The designated

VLAN must already exist on the switch.

This example of the commands designates ports 5 and 7 as untagged

ports and adds them to a VLAN with the VID 12:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5,port1.0.7

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access

awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 12

When the switch adds the ports to VLAN 12, it removes them from their

current VLAN assignments because a port can be an untagged member of

just one VLAN at a time.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

895

This example designates ports 11 to 18 as untagged ports of a VLAN with

the VID 4. The SWITCHPORT MODE ACCESS command is omitted

because the example assumes the ports are already designated as

untagged ports:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.11-port1.0.18

awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 4

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

896

Adding Tagged Ports to VLANs

There are three steps to adding ports as tagged ports to VLANs:

1. Set the mode of the ports to trunk so that they function as tagged

ports. This is performed with the SWITCHPORT MODE TRUNK

command.

2. Assign the ports to VLANs with the SWITCHPORT TRUNK ALLOWED

VLAN command.

3. Specify the VLAN for untagged ingress packets. This VLAN is referred

to as the native VLAN. The command is the SWITCHPORT TRUNK

NATIVE VLAN command.

You cannot add a port as a tagged member to a VLAN until after you set

its VLAN mode to trunk with the SWITCHPORT MODE TRUNK command.

Afterwards, you can assign it as a tagged port to as many VLANs as you

want. The command has the format shown here:

switchport mode trunk [ingress-filter

enable|disable

]

For an explanation of the optional INGRESS-FILTER parameter, refer to

“SWITCHPORT MODE TRUNK” on page 913.

Once a port is labeled as a tagged port, you can add it to VLANs as a

tagged member with the SWITCHPORT TRUNK ALLOWED VLAN

command. The command has this format:

switchport trunk allowed vlan add

vid

The VID parameter is the ID number of the VLAN to which you want to add

the port as a tagged port. You can specify more than one VLAN because

tagged ports can belong to more than one VLAN at a time. The VLANs

must already exist on the switch.

Both of these commands are located in the Port Interface mode.

This example of the commands adds port 23 as a tagged member to a

VLAN with the VID 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 5

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

897

This example adds ports 18 to 21 as tagged members to VLANs with the

VIDs 7 and 13:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18-port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 7,13

Although tagged ports are primarily intended to handle tagged packets,

they may also handle untagged packets. These are packets that do not

have any VLAN IDs. To forward these types of packets, tagged ports need

to be able to assign them to a particular VLAN on the switch.

This is controlled with what is called native VLANs. A native VLAN is

simply the ID number of a VLAN to which a tagged port assigns its ingress

untagged frames. For example, a tagged VLAN that is assigned the native

VLAN 12 assigns all ingress untagged packets to that VLAN and forwards

the packet on to ports in that particular VLAN. A port can have only one

native VLAN.

The command for setting the native VLAN of tagged ports is the

SWITCHPORT TRUNK NATIVE VLAN command, in the Port Interface

mode. Here is the command’s format:

switchport trunk native vlan

vid

The VID parameter is the ID number of the VLAN that is to be the native

VLAN of the untagged port. You can specify just one VID because a

tagged port can have just one native VLAN. The VLAN must already exist

on the switch.

This example adds ports 22 and 23 as tagged members to VLANs with the

VIDs 8 and 9. The example designates the native VLAN for ingress

untagged packets on the ports as VLAN 15:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.22-port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 8,9

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 15

This example changes the native VLAN of port 16 to VLAN 23. The

example assumes that the port is already a tagged port:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 23

Chapter 58: Port-based and Tagged VLANs

898

Removing Untagged Ports from VLANs

To remove untagged ports from their current VLAN assignments and

return them back to the Default VLAN, use the NO SWITCHPORT

ACCESS VLAN command in the Port Interface mode. You do not specify

a VLAN ID number in the command because a port can be an untagged

member of just one VLAN at a time. The switch removes the designated

port from whichever VLAN it is an untagged member and returns it back to

the Default_VLAN.

You can remove more than one port at a time from a VLAN, and the same

command can be used to remove untagged ports from different VLANs.

This example removes untagged port 5 from its current VLAN assignment

and returns it to the Default_VLAN:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# no switchport access vlan

This example removes untagged ports 10 to 14 from their current VLAN

assignments and returns them to the Default_VLAN. This example works

even if the ports are untagged members of different VLANs.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.10-port1.0.14

awplus(config-if)# no switchport access vlan

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

899

Removing Tagged Ports from VLANs

Use the SWITCHPORT TRUNK ALLOWED VLAN command to remove

ports as tagged members from VLANs. This command is actually used for

both adding and removing tagged ports. The format of the command when

it is used to remove ports is shown here:

switchport trunk allowed vlan

none|remove

vid

To remove a port from all its tagged VLAN assignments, use the NONE

parameter. Otherwise, use the REMOVE parameter and enter the ID

numbers of the VLANs from which the port is to be removed.

This example removes tagged ports 18 and 19 from the VLAN with the VID

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.18,port1.0.19

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 7

If, after removing a port from all its tagged VLAN assignments, you do not

want it to function as a tagged port on the switch, use the NO

SWITCHPORT TRUNK command to remove the trunk mode. This

example removes ports 8 and 12 as tagged members from all their VLAN

assignments and removes the trunk mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8,port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan none

awplus(config-if)# no switchport trunk

900

Deleting VLANs

To delete VLANs from the switch, use the NO VLAN command in the

VLAN Configuration mode. You cannot delete the Default_VLAN. The

untagged ports of deleted VLANs are automatically returned back to the

Default_VLAN. Here is the format of the command:

no vlan

vid

This example deletes the VLAN with the VID 12:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# no vlan 12

SWITCHPORT ACCESS VLAN

Syntax

switchport access vlan

vid

Parameters

vid

Specifies the ID number of the VLAN to which you want to add

untagged ports. You can specify only one VID.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to add untagged ports to VLANs. Please review the

following information before using this command:

The specified VLAN must already exist.

A port can be an untagged member of only one VLAN at a time.

When you add a port to a VLAN as an untagged member, the

switch automatically removes it from its current untagged VLAN

assignment before moving it to its new assignment. For example, if

you add port 4 as an untagged port to a VLAN, the switch

automatically removes the port from the VLAN in which it is

currently an untagged member.

The PVID of an untagged port is automatically changed to match

the VID number of the VLAN where it is added. For instance, if you

add port 4 as an untagged member of a VLAN with a VID of 15, the

PVID for port 4 is automatically changed to 15.

If the ports are configured as authenticator or supplicant ports for

802.1x port-based network access control, you must change the

ports to the 802.1x none role before you can change their VLAN

assignments.

SWITCHPORT MODE ACCESS

Syntax

switchport mode access [ingress-filter enable|disable]

Parameters

enable

Activates ingress filtering.

disable

Disables ingress filtering.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to designate ports as untagged ports. This is the first

command to adding ports as untagged ports to VLANs. The second

command is “SWITCHPORT ACCESS VLAN” on page 910.

The access mode is the default setting for all ports on the switch.

Consequently, you only need to perform this command for ports that were

changed to the trunk mode for tagged packets and now need to be

returned to the access mode for untagged packets.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Example

This example designates ports 17 to 24 as untagged ports:

awplus> enable

SWITCHPORT MODE TRUNK

Syntax

switchport mode trunk [ingress-filter enable|disable]

Parameters

enable

Activates ingress filtering so the tagged port accepts only tagged

packets that have one of its tagged VIDs.

disable

Disables ingress filtering so the tagged port accepts all tagged

packets.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to label ports as tagged ports. This is the first command

to adding ports as tagged ports to VLANs. The second command is

“SWITCHPORT TRUNK ALLOWED VLAN” on page 915.

The INGRESS-FILTER parameter controls whether the tagged port

accepts or rejects tagged packets containing VIDs that do not match any

of its tagged VIDs. If ingress filtering is enabled, any frame received on the

port is only admitted if its VID matches one for which the port is tagged.

Any frame received on the port is discarded if its VID does not match one

for which the port is tagged. If ingress filtering is disabled, the tagged port

accepts all tagged packets.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

Examples

This example designates ports 4 to 6 as tagged ports:

Description

Use this command to add tagged ports to VLANs or to remove tagged

ports from VLANs. Here are the guidelines to adding tagged ports:

You must designate ports as tagged ports before you can add

them to VLANs. The command for designating tagged ports is

“SWITCHPORT MODE TRUNK” on page 913.

Chapter 59: Port-based and Tagged VLAN Commands

916

Ports can be tagged members of more than one VLAN at a time.

The specified VLANs must already exist. To create VLANs, see

“VLAN” on page 920.

Adding a port as a tagged member of a VLAN does not change its

other tagged and untagged VLAN assignments, because ports can

be tagged members of more than one VLAN at a time. For

instance, if you add port 6 as a tagged port to a new VLAN, there is

no change to the port’s other tagged and untagged VLAN

memberships.

Here are the guidelines to removing tagged ports from VLANs:

Removing a tagged port from a VLAN does not change any of its

other tagged and untagged VLAN assignments.

Ports that are set to the authenticator or supplicant role for 802.1x

port-based network access control must be changed to the 802.1x

none role before they can be removed from a VLAN. You can

reassign their roles after you change their VLAN assignments.

SWITCHPORT TRUNK NATIVE VLAN

Syntax

switchport trunk native vlan

vid

Parameters

vid

Specifies the VID of the VLAN that will act as the default VLAN for

all ingress and egress untagged packets on the tagged port. You

can enter just one VID.

none

Reestablishes the Default_VLAN as the native VLAN of the port.

This is equivalent to the NO form of this command.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to designate native VLANs for tagged ports. The native

VLAN of a tagged port specifies the appropriate VLAN for ingress

untagged packets. A tagged port can have only one native VLAN, and the

VLAN must already exist on the switch.

Note

You cannot assign a native VLAN to a port that is already a tagged

member of that VLAN because a port cannot be both a tagged and

untagged member of the same VLAN.

Confirmation Command

VLAN

Syntax

vlan

vid

[name

name

]

Parameters

vid

Specifies a VLAN identifier. The range is 2 to 4094. The VID 1 is

reserved for the Default_VLAN. The VID cannot be the same as

the VID of an existing VLAN on the switch. You can specify more

than one VID to create more than one VLAN at a time.

If this VLAN will be unique in your network, its VID should also be

unique. If this VLAN will be part of a larger VLAN that spans

multiple switches, the VID value for the VLAN should be the same

on each switch. For example, if you are creating a VLAN called

Sales that will span three switches, you should assign the Sales

VLAN on each switch the same VID value.

name

Specifies a name for a new VLAN. A name can be from 1 to 20

characters in length. The first character must be a letter; it cannot

be a number. VLANs will be easier to identify if their names reflect

the functions of their subnetworks or workgroups (for example,

Sales or Accounting). A name cannot contain spaces or special

characters, such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!). A name

cannot be the same as a name of an existing VLAN on the switch.

If a VLAN is unique in your network, then its name should be

unique as well. A VLAN that spans multiple switches should have

the same name on each switch.

If you are creating more than one VLAN, do not include this

parameter.

Note

The VLAN name field is used only as a description in the SHOW

VLAN command output. It cannot be a substituted for the VID when

specifying a specific VLAN in other commands.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

924

Overview

The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows network devices to

share VLAN information and to use the information to modify existing

VLANs or create new VLANs, automatically. This makes it easier to

manage VLANs that span more than one switch. Without GVRP, you have

to manually configure your switches to ensure that the various parts of the

VLANs can communicate with each other across the different switches.

With GVRP, which is an application of the Generic Attribute Registration

Protocol (GARP), this is done for you automatically.

The switch uses GVRP protocol data units (PDUs) to share VLAN

information among GVRP-active devices. The PDUs contain the VID

numbers of all the VLANs on the switch.

When the switch receives a GVRP PDU on a port, it examines the PDU to

determine the VIDs of the VLANs on the device that sent it. It then does

the following:

If the PDU contains a VID of a VLAN that does not exist on the

switch, it creates the designated VLAN and adds the port that

received the PDU as a tagged member of the VLAN. A VLAN

created by GVRP is called a dynamic GVRP VLAN.

If the PDU contains a VID of a VLAN that already exists on the

switch but the port is not a member of it, the switch adds the port

as a tagged member of the VLAN. A port that has been added by

GVRP to a static VLAN (that is a user-created VLAN) is called a

dynamic GVRP port.

Only GVRP can modify or delete dynamic GVRP VLANs. Dynamic GVRP

VLANs exist only if there are active nodes in the VLANs. If all nodes of a

dynamic GVRP VLAN are shut down, and there are no active links, GVRP

deletes it from the switch.

A dynamic GVRP port in a static VLAN remains a member of the VLAN as

long as there are active VLAN members. If all members of the VLAN

become inactive or there are no active links, GVRP removes the dynamic

port from the VLAN, but does not delete the VLAN if the VLAN is a static

VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

925

Figure 172 provides an example of how GVRP works.

Figure 172. GVRP Example

The example consists of three switches. Switches #1 and #3 have the

Sales VLAN, but switch #2 does not. Consequently, the end nodes of the

two parts of the Sales VLANs cannot communicate with each other.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

926

Without GVRP, you would have to manually add the Sales VLAN to switch

#2. But with GVRP, the VLAN is added automatically. Here is how GVRP

would resolve the problem in the example.

1. Port 1 on switch #1 sends to port 2 on switch #2 a PDU that contains

the VIDs of all the VLANs on the switch, including VID 11 for the Sales

VLAN.

2. Switch #2 examines the PDU it receives on port 2 and notes that it

does not have a VLAN with a VID 11. In response, it creates the VLAN

as a dynamic GVRP VLAN, assigning it a VID 11 and the name

GVRP_VLAN_11. (The name of a dynamic GVRP VLAN has the prefix

“GVRP_VLAN_”, followed by the VID number.) The switch then adds

port 2, the port that received the PDU, as a tagged member of the

VLAN.

3. Switch #2 sends a PDU from port 3 containing all the VIDs of the

VLANs on the switch, including the new GVRP_VLAN_11 with its VID

of 11. (Note that port 3 is not yet a member of the VLAN. Ports are

added to VLANs when they receive PDUs from other network devices,

not when they transmit PDUs.)

4. Switch #3 receives the PDU on port 4 and, after examining it, notes

that one of the VLANs on switch #2 has the VID 11, which matches the

VID of an already existing VLAN on the switch. So it does not create

the VLAN because it already exists. It then determines whether the

port that received the PDU, in this case port 4, is a member of the

VLAN. If it is not a member, it automatically adds the port to the VLAN

as an tagged dynamic GVRP port. If the port is already a member of

the VLAN, then no change is made.

5. Switch #3 sends a PDU out port 4 to switch #2.

6. Switch #2 receives the PDU on port 3 and then adds the port as a

tagged dynamic GVRP port to the dynamic GVRP_VLAN_11 VLAN.

There is now a communications path for the end nodes of the Sales VLAN

on switches #1 and #3. GVRP created the new GVRP_VLAN_11 dynamic

GVRP VLAN with a VID of 11 on switch #2 and added ports 2 and 3 to the

VLAN as tagged dynamic GVRP ports.

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to GVRP:

GVRP is supported with STP, RSTP, MSTP or without spanning

tree.

Both ports that constitute a network link between the switch and

the other device must be running GVRP.

You cannot modify or delete dynamic GVRP VLANs.

You cannot remove dynamic GVRP ports from static or dynamic

VLANs.

To be detected by GVRP, a VLAN must have at least one active

node or have at least one port with a valid link to an end node.

GVRP cannot detect a VLAN that does not have any active nodes

or valid port links.

Resetting the switch erases all dynamic GVRP VLANs and

dynamic GVRP port assignments. The dynamic assignments are

relearned by the switch as PDUs arrive on the ports from other

switches.

GVRP has three timers: Join Timer, Leave Timer, and Leave All

Timer. The values for these timers must be set the same on all

switches running GVRP. Timers with different values on different

switches can result in GVRP compatibility problems.

You can convert dynamic GVRP VLANs and dynamic GVRP port

assignments to static VLANs and static port assignments.

The default port settings on the switch for GVRP are active,

meaning that the ports participate in GVRP. Allied Telesis

recommends disabling GVRP on those ports that are connected to

GVRP-inactive devices, meaning devices that do not feature

GVRP.

PDUs are transmitted from only those switch ports where GVRP is

enabled.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

928

GVRP and Network Security

GVRP should be used with caution because it can expose your network to

unauthorized access. If a network intruder were to connect to a switch port

running GVRP and transmit a bogus GVRP PDU containing VIDs of

restricted VLANs, GVRP would make the port a member of the VLANs,

giving the intruder access to restricted areas of your network.

Here are a couple of suggestions to protect against this type of network

intrusion:

Activating GVRP only on those switch ports connected to other

GVRP devices. Do not activate GVRP on ports that are connected

to GVRP-inactive devices.

Converting all dynamic GVRP VLANs and dynamic GVRP ports to

static assignments, and then turning off GVRP on all the switches.

This preserves the new VLAN assignments while protecting

against network intrusion.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

929

GVRP-inactive Intermediate Switches

If two GVRP-active devices are separated by a GVRP-inactive switch, the

GVRP-active devices may not be able to share VLAN information. There

are two issues involved.

The first is whether the intermediate switch forwards the GVRP PDUs that

it receives from the GVRP-active switches. GVRP PDUs are management

frames, intended for the switch’s CPU. In all likelihood, a GVRP-inactive

switch will discard the PDUs because it will not recognize them.

The second issue is that even if a GVRP-inactive switch forwards GVRP

PDUs, it will not create the VLANs, at least not automatically.

Consequently, even if GVRP-active switches receive the PDUs and create

the necessary VLANs, an intermediate switch may block the VLAN traffic,

unless you modify its VLANs and port assignments manually.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

930

Enabling GVRP on the Switch

The command for enabling GVRP on the switch is found in the Global

Configuration mode. It is the GVRP ENABLE command. After the

command is entered, the switch immediately begins to transmit PDUs

from those ports where GVRP is enabled and to learn dynamic GVRP

VLANs. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# gvrp enable

For reference information, refer to “GVRP ENABLE” on page 946.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

931

Enabling GIP on the Switch

The GARP Information Propagation (GIP) component can be enabled

separately from GVRP on the switch. GIP must be enabled if the switch is

using GVRP. The command for activating GIP is the GVRP APPLICANT

STATE ACTIVE command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the

command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# gvrp applicant state active

For reference information, refer to “GVRP APPLICANT STATE ACTIVE”

on page 944.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

932

Enabling GVRP on the Ports

To activate GVRP on the ports so that they transmit GVRP PDUs, use the

GVRP REGISTRATION NORMAL command in the Port Interface mode.

Because the default setting for GVRP on the ports is enabled, you should

only need to use this command if you want to enable GVRP after disabling

it on a port.

This example of the command activates GVRP on ports 12, 13 and 17:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12,port1.0.13,port1.0.17

awplus(config-if)# gvrp registration normal

For reference information, refer to “GVRP REGISTRATION” on page 947.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

933

Setting the GVRP Timers

The switch has a Join Timer, a Leave Timer, and a Leave All Timer. You

should not change the timers unless you understand their functions. (Refer

to the IEEE 802.1p standard for the definitions.) The timers have to be set

the same on all GARP-active network devices, and the Join Timer and

Leave Timer have to be set according to the following equation:

Join Timer <= (2 x (Leave Timer))

The commands for setting the timers are in the Global Configuration

mode. They are:

gvrp timer join

value

gvrp timer leave

value

gvrp timer leaveall

value

The timers are set in one hundredths of a second. This example sets the

Join Timer to 0.2 seconds, the Leave Timer to 0.8 seconds and the Leave

All timer to 10 seconds:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# gvrp timer join 20

awplus(config)# gvrp timer leave 80

awplus(config)# gvrp timer leaveall 1000

For reference information, refer to “GVRP TIMER JOIN” on page 948,

“GVRP TIMER LEAVE” on page 949 and “GVRP TIMER LEAVEALL” on

page 950.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

934

Disabling GVRP Timers on the Switch

To disable GVRP timer configurations, use the NO GVRP TIMER

commands in the Global Configuration mode. They are:

no gvrp timer join

no gvrp timer leave

no gvrp timer leaveall

Use these commands to reset GVRP timers to the default values for each

individual parameter. The default values are:

GVRP timer join: 20

GVRP timer leave: 60

GVRP timer leave all: 1000

For reference information, refer to “NO GVRP TIMER JOIN” on page 952,

“NO GVRP TIMER LEAVE” on page 953 and “NO GVRP TIMER

LEAVEALL” on page 954.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

935

Disabling GVRP on the Ports

To disable GVRP on the ports, use the GVRP REGISTRATION NONE

command in the Port Interface mode. This example of the command

deactivates GVRP on ports 4 and 5:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4-1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# gvrp registration none

For reference information, refer to “GVRP REGISTRATION” on page 947.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

936

Disabling GIP on the Switch

You can disable the GARP Information Propagation (GIP) component

separately from GVRP on the switch. GIP must be enabled if the switch is

using GVRP. There is never any reason to disable GIP. Even if the switch

is not performing GVRP, you can still leave GIP enabled.

The command for disabling GIP is GVRP APPLICANT STATE NORMAL

command. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# gvrp applicant state normal

For reference information, refer to “GVRP APPLICANT STATE NORMAL”

on page 945.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

937

Disabling GVRP on the Switch

To disable GVRP to stop the switch from learning any further dynamic

VLANs or GVRP ports, use the NO GVRP ENABLE command in the

Global Configuration mode. Here is the command.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no gvrp enable

For reference information, refer to “NO GVRP ENABLE” on page 951.

Chapter 60: GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

938

Restoring the GVRP Default Settings

To disable GVRP and to return the timers to their default settings, use the

PURGE GVRP command in the Global Configuration mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# purge gvrp

For reference information, refer to “PURGE GVRP” on page 955.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

939

Displaying GVRP

Although there are five commands that display GVRP information, you will

probably only need the SHOW GVRP TIMER command in the Privileged

Exec mode. This command displays the status of GVRP and GIP on the

switch and the three timer settings. Here is the command:

awplus# show gvrp timer

Here is an example of the information the command provides.

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

964

Overview

As explained in Chapter 58, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs” on page

879, VLANs are used to create independent LAN segments within a

network and are typically employed to improve network performance or

security. The AT-FS970M Switch offers several different types of VLANs,

including port-based, tagged, and private VLANs. Membership in these

VLANs is determined either by the port VLAN identifiers (PVIDs) assigned

to the ports on the switch or, in the case of tagged traffic, by the VLAN

identifiers within the packets themselves.

This chapter describes VLANs that are based on the source MAC

addresses of the end nodes that are connected to the switch. With MAC

address-based VLANs, only those nodes whose source MAC addresses

are entered as members of the VLANs can share and access the

resources of the VLANs. This is in contrast to port-based and tagged

VLANs where any node that has access to a switch port can join them as

a member.

One of the principle advantages of this type of VLAN is that it simplifies the

task of managing network users that roam. These are users whose work

requires that they access the network from different points at different

times. The challenge for a network administrator is providing these users

with the same resources regardless of the points at which they access the

network. If you employed port-based or tagged VLANs for roaming users,

you might have to constantly reconfigure the VLANs, moving ports to and

from different virtual LANs, so that the users always have access to the

same network resources. But with MAC address-based VLANs, the switch

can assign network users to the same VLANs and network resources

regardless of the ports from which they access the network.

Egress Ports Implementing MAC address-based VLANs involves more than entering

the MAC addresses of the end nodes of the VLAN members. You must

also designate the egress ports on the switch for the packets from the

nodes. The egress ports define the limits of flooding of packets when a

port receives a unicast packet with an unknown destination address (that

is, an address that has not been learned by the MAC address table).

Without knowing the egress ports of a MAC address-based VLAN, the

switch would be forced to flood the packets on all ports, possibly resulting

in security violations in which end nodes receive packets from other nodes

in different VLANs.

Table 100 on page 965 illustrates a simple example of the mapping of

addresses to egress ports for a MAC address-based VLAN of six nodes.

The example consists of four workstations, a printer, and a server.

Workstation 1, for instance, is connected to port 1 on the switch and is

mapped to egress ports 5 for the server and 6 for the printer.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

965

Obviously, mapping source MAC addresses to egress ports can become

cumbersome if you are dealing with a MAC address-based VLAN that

encompasses many ports and nodes. Fortunately, the egress ports of a

VLAN are considered as a community and, as such, need only be

designated as an egress port of one address in the VLAN to be considered

an egress port of all the addresses.

For instance, referring to the previous example, if workstation 1 sends a

packet containing an unknown destination MAC address, the switch does

not flood the packet to just ports 5 and 6, even though those are the

designated egress ports for packets from workstation 1. Rather, it floods it

out all egress ports assigned to all the MAC addresses of the VLAN,

except, of course, the port where the packet was received. In the example,

the switch would flood the packet out ports 2 through 6.

The community characteristic of egress ports in MAC address-based

VLANs relieves you from having to map each address to its corresponding

egress port. Instead, you only need to be sure that all the egress ports in a

MAC address-based VLAN are assigned to at least one address.

It is also important to note that a MAC address must be assigned at least

one egress port to be considered a member of a MAC address-based

VLAN. VLAN membership of packets from a source MAC address not

assigned any egress ports is determined by the PVID of the port where the

packets are received.

Because egress ports are considered as a community within a VLAN, you

can simplify the mappings by assigning all the egress ports to just one

MAC address and assigning the rest of the addresses to just one port. This

makes adding or deleting MAC addresses or egress ports easier. Here is

how the example might look.

Table 100. Mappings of MAC Addresses to Egress Ports Example

00:30:42:53:10:3A Printer (Port 6) 1-4

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

966

The switch can support more than one MAC-address VLAN at a time, and

ports can be egress members of more than one VLAN. While this can

prove useful in some situations, it can also result in VLAN leakage in

which traffic of one VLAN crosses the boundary into other VLANs.

The problem arises in the case of unknown unicast traffic. If the switch

receives a packet from a member of a MAC address-based VLAN with an

unknown destination address, it floods the packet on all egress ports of

the VLAN. If the VLAN contains a port that is also serving as an egress

port of another VLAN, the node connected to the port receives the flooded

packets, even if it does not belong to the same VLAN as the node that

generated the packet.

Here is an example. Assume that port 4 on a switch has been designated

an egress port of three MAC address-based VLANs. Any unknown unicast

traffic that the switch receives that belongs to any of the VLANs will be

flooded out port 4. This means that whatever device is connected to the

port receives the flooded traffic form all three VLANs.

If security is a major concern for your network, you might not want to

assign ports as egress ports to more than one VLAN at a time when

planning your MAC address-based VLANs.

When a packet whose source MAC address is part of a MAC address-

based VLAN arrives on a port, the switch performs one of the following

actions:

If the packet’s destination MAC address is not in the MAC address

table, the switch floods the packet out all egress ports of the VLAN,

excluding the port where the packet was received.

If the packet’s destination MAC address is in the MAC address

table, and if the port where the address was learned is one of the

VLAN’s egress ports, the switch forwards the packet to the port.

Table 101. Revised Example of Mappings of MAC Addresses to Egress Ports

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

967

If the packet’s destination MAC address is in the MAC address

table, but the port where the address was learned is not one of the

VLAN’s egress ports, the switch discards the packet.

VLANs that Span

Switches

To create a MAC address-based VLAN that spans switches, you must

replicate the MAC addresses of the VLAN nodes on all the switches where

the VLAN exists. The same MAC address-based VLAN on different

switches must have the same list of MAC addresses.

Figure 174 illustrates an example of a MAC address-based VLAN that

spans two AT-FS970M Switches. The VLAN consists of three nodes on

each switch. Table 102 on page 968 lists the details of the VLAN on the

switches. Note that each VLAN contains the complete set of MAC

addresses of all VLAN nodes along with the appropriate egress ports on

the switches.

Figure 174. Example of a MAC Address-based VLAN that Spans Switches

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

968

VLAN Hierarchy The switch employs a VLAN hierarchy when handling untagged packets

that arrive on a port that is an egress port of a MAC address-based VLAN

as well as an untagged port of a port-based VLAN. (A port can be a

member of both types of VLANs at the same time.) The rule is that a MAC

address-based VLAN takes precedence over that of a port-based VLAN.

When an untagged packet arrives on a port, the switch first compares the

source MAC address of the packet against the MAC addresses of all the

MAC address-based VLANs on the device. If there is a match, the switch

considers the packet as a member of the corresponding MAC address-

based VLAN and not the port-based VLAN, and forwards it out the egress

ports defined for the corresponding MAC address-based VLAN.

If there is no match, the switch considers the packet as a member of the

port-based VLAN and forwards the packet according to the PVID assigned

to the port. For an explanation of a PVID, refer to “Port-based VLAN

Overview” on page 882.

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to MAC address-based VLANs:

The switch can support up to a total of 4094 port-based, tagged,

private, and MAC address-based VLANs.

The egress ports of a MAC address-based VLAN function as a

community in that assigning a port to one MAC address implicitly

defines that port as an egress port of all the addresses in the same

VLAN.

A source MAC address must be assigned to at least one egress

port to be considered part of a MAC address-based VLAN.

Otherwise, VLAN membership is determined by the PVID of the

port where the packets are received.

A port can be an egress port of more than one MAC address-

based VLAN at one time.

MAC addresses can belong to only one MAC address-based VLAN

at a time.

Broadcast packets cross VLAN boundaries when a port is an

egress port of a MAC address-based VLAN and an untagged

member of a port-based VLAN. Given that there is no way for the

switch to determine the VLAN to which the broadcast packet

belongs, it floods the packet on all ports of all affected VLANs.

Entering MAC addresses as part of a MAC address-based VLAN

does not add them into the MAC address table. The addresses are

added to the MAC address table during the normal learning

process of the switch.

MAC address-based VLANs are supported in edge switches,

where end nodes are connected directly to the switches, as well as

in intermediary switches, where the switches are connected to

other Ethernet switches or hubs.

The maximum number of MAC addresses that the switch can

support in all its MAC address-based VLANs is 1024 addresses.

MAC address-based VLANs do not support multicast MAC

addresses.

Egress ports cannot be part of static or LACP trunks.

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

General Steps

There are three main steps to creating a MAC address-based VLAN:

1. Use the VLAN MACADDRESS command in the VLAN Configuration

mode to assign a name and a VID to the new VLAN, and to designate

the VLAN as a MAC address-based VLAN.

2. Use the VLAN SET MACADDRESS command in the Global

Configuration mode to assign the MAC addresses to the VLAN.

3. Use the VLAN SET MACADDRESS command in the Port Interface

mode to assign the MAC addresses to the egress ports.

The steps must be performed in this order.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

971

Creating MAC Address-based VLANs

The VLAN MACADDRESS command in the VLAN Configuration mode is

the first command to creating this type of VLAN. This command assigns a

new VLAN a name and a VID. Here is the format of the command:

vlan

vid

name

type

macaddress

The range of the VID is 2 to 4094. The VID of the VLAN must be unique

from all other VLANs on the switch. The name of a VLAN can be up to 20

characters. It cannot contain any spaces, and the first character must be a

letter, not a number.

This example of the command creates a new MAC address-based VLAN

with the VID 12 and the name QA:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# vlan 12 name QA type macaddress

For instructions on how to add MAC addresses and egress ports, refer to

“Adding MAC Addresses to VLANs and Designating Egress Ports” on

page 972.

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

972

Adding MAC Addresses to VLANs and Designating Egress Ports

The MAC addresses and egress ports are specified with the VLAN SET

MACADDRESS command in the Global Configuration mode and Port

Interface mode. Enter the command in the Global Configuration mode

when you want to add MAC addresses to VLANs. To designate the egress

ports of addresses, enter the same command in the Port Interface mode.

The command has the same format in both the Global Configuration mode

and Port Interface mode. The format is shown here:

vlan set

vid

macaddress|destaddress

mac-address

The VID parameter specifies the VID of the MAC address-based VLAN to

which the address is to be added, and the MAC-ADDRESS parameter is

the address, which has to be entered in this format:

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

The MACADDRESS and DESTADDRESS keywords are equivalent. You

can use either one in the command.

In this example of the command, the MAC address 2A:98:2C:AC:18:A4 is

added to port 6 in a MAC address-based VLAN that has the VID 18:

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# vlan set 18 macaddress

2a:98:2c:ad:18:a4

Use the VLAN SET

MACADDRESS to add the MAC

address to the VLAN.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6 Enter the Port Interface mode for

port 6.

awplus(config-if)# vlan set 18 macaddress

2a:98:2c:ac:18:a4

Enter the VLAN SET

MACADDRESS command again

to designate port 6 as an egress

port of the address.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

973

Removing MAC Addresses

To remove MAC addresses from egress ports in a MAC address-based

VLAN, use the NO VLAN MACADDRESS command in the Port Interface

mode. This example of the command removes the MAC address

11:8A:92:CE:76:28 from ports 6 to 8, in a VLAN that has the VID 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.6-port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# no vlan 23 macaddress 11:8a:92:ce:76:28

Before MAC addresses can be completely removed from this type of

VLAN, you must first remove them from their egress ports, as illustrated in

the previous example. Afterwards, you can again use the NO VLAN

MACADDRESS command, but in the Global Configuration mode, and

delete them from the VLANs. This example completely removes the same

MAC address from the same VLAN as in the previous example:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no vlan 23 macaddress 11:8a:92:ce:76:28

Chapter 62: MAC Address-based VLANs

974

Deleting VLANs

To delete MAC address-based VLANs from the switch, use the NO VLAN

command in the VLAN Configuration mode. You can delete only one

VLAN at a time. Here is the format of the command:

no vlan

vid

This example deletes the VLAN with the VID 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# no vlan 23

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

975

Displaying VLANs

To display the MAC address-based VLANS on the switch, use the SHOW

VLAN MACADDRESS command in the Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# show vlan macaddress

An example is shown in Figure 175.

Parameters

vid

Specifies a VLAN identifier in the range of 2 to 4094. VID 1 is

reserved for the Default_VLAN. You can specify only one VID.

The VID of a VLAN should be unique from all other VLANs in a

network, unless a VLAN spans multiple switches, in which case its

VID should be the same on all switches on which the VLAN

resides. For example, to create a VLAN called Sales that spans

three switches, you would assign it the same VID value on each

switch.

name

Specifies a name of up to 20 characters for the VLAN. The first

character of the name must be a letter; it cannot be a number.

VLANs will be easier to identify if their names reflect the functions

of their subnetworks or workgroups (for example, Sales or

Accounting). A name cannot contain spaces or special characters,

such as asterisks (*) or exclamation points (!). A name cannot be

the same as a name of an existing VLAN on the switch. A VLAN

that spans multiple switches should have the same name on each

switch.

Chapter 64: Private Port VLANs

994

Overview

Private VLANs (also called private port VLANs) create special broadcast

domains in which the traffic of the member ports is restricted to just uplink

ports. Ports in a private VLAN are only allowed to forward traffic to and

receive traffic from a designated uplink port, and are prohibited from

forwarding traffic to each other.

An example application of a private VLAN would be a library in which user

booths each have a computer with Internet access. In this situation, it

would usually be undesirable to allow communication between these

individual PCs. Connecting the computers to ports within a private isolated

VLAN would enable each computer to access the Internet or a library

server via a single connection, while preventing access between the

computers in the booths.

Another application for private VLANs is to simplify IP address

assignments. Ports can be isolated from each other while still belonging to

the same subnet.

A private VLAN generally consists of one or more host ports and an uplink

port.

Host Ports The host ports of a private VLAN can only forward traffic to, and receive

traffic from, an uplink port, and are prohibited from forwarding traffic to

each other. A private VLAN can have any number of host ports on the

switch, up to all the ports, minus the uplink port. A port can be a host port

of only one private VLAN at a time.

The host ports are untagged. VLAN membership is defined by their

PVIDs. The devices to which they are connected should not send tagged

packets.

Uplink Port The uplink port can be a promiscuous port or a trunk port.

An uplink port can communicate with all host ports in the private VLAN. A

promiscuous port acts like an untagged uplink port for a private VLAN.

Each private VLAN can have multiple promiscuous ports.

A trunk port may be configured as an uplink for a private VLAN.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

Private VLAN

Functionality

The following describes host and uplink port functionality in a private

VLAN, and how private VLANs can be configured.

Host ports:

Cannot communicate with each other.

Can communicate with uplink ports.

Can communicate with appropriately configured trunk ports.

Uplink ports:

Promiscuous ports:

– Promiscuous ports act as untagged trunk ports.

– A private VLAN can have more than one

promiscuous port.

Trunk ports:

– A private VLAN can be assigned to a trunk port as

the native VLAN.

– A private VLAN can be assigned to a trunk port as

a tagged VLAN.

– A trunk port that has been assigned a private

VLAN can be assigned other VLANs.

Chapter 64: Private Port VLANs

996

Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to private VLANs:

A private VLAN can have any number of host ports, up to all the

ports on the switch, minus the uplink port.

A promiscuous port can be an uplink port of just one private VLAN

at a time, however, a private VLAN can have more than one uplink

port.

The host ports of private VLANs are untagged ports, and as such,

transmit only untagged traffic.

The switch can support private, port-based, tagged, and MAC

address-based VLANs at the same time

Host ports cannot be members of both private VLANs and port-

based or tagged VLANs at the same time.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

997

Creating Private VLANs

The command to initially create private VLANs is the PRIVATE-VLAN

command in the VLAN Configuration mode. Here is the command’s

format:

private-vlan

vid

The VID number has the range of 2 to 4094. The VID of a private VLAN

must be unique from all other VLANs on the switch.

This example assigns the VID 26 to a new private VLAN:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# private-vlan 26

New private VLANs do not have any host or uplink ports. To add ports,

refer to “Adding Host and Uplink Ports” on page 998.

Chapter 64: Private Port VLANs

998

Adding Host and Uplink Ports

Private VLANs have host ports and uplink ports. A private VLAN can have

more than one uplink port. The devices connected to the hosts ports of a

private VLAN can only communicate with the uplink port, and not with

each other. The host ports and the uplink port can be added in any order

to a private VLAN.

The SWITCHPORT MODE PRIVATE-VLAN HOST command in the Port

Interface mode is used to add host ports to private VLANs. The command

has this format:

switchport mode private-vlan host

vid

The VID parameter is the VID of the private VLAN to which you are adding

host ports. The private VLAN must already exist on the switch. Private

VLANs are created with the PRIVATE-VLAN command, explained in

“Creating Private VLANs” on page 997. This example of the command

adds ports 2 to 7 as host ports of a private VLAN that has the VID 15:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2-port1.0.7

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan host 15

The promiscuous uplink port of a private VLAN is designated with the

SWITCHPORT MODE PRIVATE-VLAN PROMISCUOUS command in the

Port Interface mode. Here is its format:

switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

vid

The VID parameter has the same function in this command as it does in

the command for adding host ports. It designates the VLAN to which you

want to add the port. This example of the command adds port 16 as an

uplink port to a private VLAN that has the VID 23.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

awplus(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

Note

To add a private VLAN to a trunk port, either as a tagged VLAN or

as the native VLAN, refer to “SWITCHPORT TRUNK ALLOWED

VLAN” on page 915 or “SWITCHPORT TRUNK NATIVE VLAN” on

page 918, respectively.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

999

Deleting VLANs

To delete private VLANs from the switch, use the NO VLAN command in

the VLAN Configuration mode. The host and uplink ports of deleted private

VLANs are automatically returned by the switch to the Default_VLAN.

Here is the format of the command:

no vlan

vid

The VID parameter is the VID of the private VLAN you want to delete. The

command lets you delete only one VLAN at a time. You cannot delete the

Default_VLAN.

This example deletes a VLAN that has the VID 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# vlan database

awplus(config-vlan)# no vlan 23

<vid>|priority <value>|dynamic

Parameters

vid

Specifies the ID number (VID) of the VLAN that functions as the

voice VLAN for ports. You can specify only one VID. The range is 1

to 4094.

priority

Configures the Layer 2 user priority advertised when the

transmission of LLDP-MED Network Policy TLVs for voice devices

is enabled. This is the priority in the User Priority field of the IEEE

802.1Q VLAN tag, also known as the Class of Service (CoS) or

802.1p priority. When LLDP-MED capable IP phones receive this

network policy information, they transmit voice data with the

specified priority.

dynamic

Specifies the VLAN ID with which the IP phone should send

tagged packets that will be assigned by RADIUS authentication.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to configure the Voice VLAN tagging advertised when

the transmission of LLDP-MED Network Policy TLVs for voice endpoint

devices is enabled. When LLDP-MED capable IP phones receive this

network policy information, they transmit voice data with the specified

tagging. This command also sets the ports to be spanning-tree edge ports,

that is, it enables spanning-tree portfast on the ports.

Use the NO form of this command to remove LLDP-MED network policy

configuration for voice devices connected to these ports. This does not

change the spanning-tree edge port status.

LLDP-MED advertisements, including Network Policy TLVs, are

transmitted via a port if:

LLDP is enabled (LLDP RUN command).

The port is configured to transmit LLDP advertisements—enabled

by default (LLDP TRANSMIT RECEIVE command).

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1011

There is an LLDP-MED device connected to the port.

To set the priority value to be advertised for tagged frames, use the

SWITCHPORT VOICE VLAN PRIORITY command.

If the Voice VLAN details are to be assigned by RADIUS, then the

RADIUS server must be configured to send the attribute, Egress-VLANID

(56), in the RADIUS Accept message when authenticating a phone

attached to this port.

If the ports have been set to be edge ports by the SWITCHPORT VOICE

VLAN command, the NO form of this command will leave them unchanged

as edge ports. To set them back to their default non-edge port

configuration, use the NO SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST command (refer

to “NO SPANNING-TREE PORTFAST” on page 811).

The default setting for this feature is disabled.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

“SHOW LLDP LOCAL-INFO INTERFACE” on page 1283

Examples

This example tells IP phones connected to port 1.0.5 to send voice data

tagged for VLAN 10:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# switchport voice vlan 10

This example assigns the CoS value 5 to ports 1.0.2 and 1.0.3:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2-port1.0.3

awplus(config-if)# switchport voice vlan priority 5

This example removes the CoS value from port 1.0.16 and returns to the

default CoS value, 5:

awplus> enable

Chapter 67: MAC Address-based Port Security

1016

Overview

This feature lets you control access to the ports on the switch based on

the source MAC addresses of the network devices. You specify the

maximum number of source MAC addresses that ports can learn. Ports

that learn their maximum number of addresses discard packets that have

new, unknown addresses, preventing access to the switch by any further

devices.

As an example, if you configure port 3 on the switch to learn no more than

five source MAC addresses, the port learns up to five address and

forwards the ingress packets of the devices that belong to those

addresses. If the port receives ingress packets that have source MAC

addresses other than the five it has already learned, it discards those

packets to prevent the devices from passing traffic through the switch.

Static Versus

Dynamic

Addresses

The MAC addresses that the ports learn can be stored as either static or

dynamic addresses in the MAC address table in the switch. Ports that

store the addresses as static addresses never learn any new addresses

after they have learned their maximum number. In contrast, ports that

store the addresses as dynamic addresses can learn new addresses

when addresses are timed out from the table by the switch. The addresses

are aged out according to the aging time of the MAC address table.

Note

For background information on the aging time of the MAC address

table, refer to “Overview” on page 370.

Intrusion Actions The intrusion actions define what the switch does when ports that have

learned their maximum number of MAC addresses receive packets that

have unknown source MAC addresses. The possible settings are:

Protect - Ports discard those frames that have unknown MAC

addresses. No other action is taken. For example, if port 14 is

configured to learn 18 addresses, it starts to discard packets with

unknown source MAC addresses after learning 18 MAC

addresses.

Restrict - This is the same as the protect action, except that the

switch sends SNMP traps when the ports discard frames. For

example, if port 12 is configured to learn two addresses, the switch

sends a trap every time the port, after learning two addresses,

discards a packet that has an unknown MAC address.

Shutdown - The switch disables the ports and sends SNMP traps.

For example, if port 5 is configured to learn three MAC addresses,

it is disabled by the switch to prevent it from forwarding any further

traffic if it receives a packet with an unknown source MAC address,

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1017

after learning three addresses. The switch also sends an SNMP

trap.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to MAC address-based port security:

The filtering of a packet occurs on the ingress port, not on the

egress port.

You cannot use MAC address-based port security and 802.1x port-

based access control on the same port. To configure a port as an

Authenticator or Supplicant in 802.1x port-based access control,

you must remove MAC address-based port security.

This type of port security is supported on optional SFP modules.

You can manually add static addresses to ports that are configured

for this security. The manually added addresses are not counted

against the maximum number of addresses the ports can learn.

Chapter 67: MAC Address-based Port Security

1018

Configuring Ports

There are three things you need to decide before you configure MAC

address-based port security on the ports. They are:

What is the maximum number of source MAC addresses the ports

can learn?

Should the source MAC addresses learned by the ports be stored

as dynamic or static addresses in the MAC address table?

Is the intrusion action protect, restrict, or shutdown?

See Table 107 for a list of the commands.

These commands are found in the Port Interface mode and can be

entered in any order when you configure the ports.

Here are a few examples on how to use the commands. In this first

example, ports 4 and 5 are configured to learn up to 25 source MAC

addresses each, and to store the addresses as static addresses in the

MAC address table. The intrusion action is set to protect so that the ports

discard packets with unknown MAC addresses after they have learned the

maximum number of addresses, but the switch does not send SNMP

traps:

This example configures port 16 to learn 45 MAC addresses. The

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 45

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security aging

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security violation

restrict

This example configures ports 8 and 20 to learn up to five MAC addresses

each. The addresses are stored as static addresses in the table, so that

they are never aged out, even when the source nodes are inactive. The

intrusion action is set to Shutdown, which disables the ports if they receive

packets with unknown source packets after they learn five MAC

addresses:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8,port1.0.20

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 5

awplus(config-if)# no switchport port-security aging

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security violation

shutdown

After configuring the ports, go to “Displaying Port Settings” on page 1022

to confirm the settings before activating port security.

Chapter 67: MAC Address-based Port Security

1020

Enabling MAC Address-based Security on Ports

After you have configured a port for MAC address-based security, as

explained in “Configuring Ports” on page 1018, and confirmed the

settings, as explained in “Displaying Port Settings” on page 1022, you are

ready to activate the feature on the ports. This is accomplished with the

SWITCHPORT PORT-SECURITY command in the Port Interface mode.

This example of the command activates port security on ports 16 to 24:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16-port1.0.24

awplus(config-if)# switchport port-security

To confirm the activation, return to “Displaying Port Settings” on

page 1022. The Security Enabled field in the SHOW PORT-SECURITY

INTERFACE command should have a status of Yes.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1021

Disabling MAC Address-based Security on Ports

To remove MAC address-based security from ports, use the NO

SWITCHPORT PORT-SECURITY command in the Port Interface mode.

This example of the command removes port security from port 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# no switchport port-security

Note

To activate ports that were disabled by the shutdown intrusion

action, refer to “NO SHUTDOWN” on page 219.

Chapter 67: MAC Address-based Port Security

1022

Displaying Port Settings

There are two commands that display information about the MAC

address-based port security on the ports on the switch. The one that you

are likely to use the most often is the SHOW PORT-SECURITY

INTERFACE command in the Privileged Exec mode. It displays all the

possible information. Here is the format of the command:

show port-security interface

port

This example displays the settings for port 2:

awplus# show port-security interface port1.0.2

An example is shown in Figure 179.

Figure 179. SHOW PORT-SECURITY INTERFACE Command

The fields are defined in Table 109 on page 1028.

If you are interested in viewing just the number of packets the ports have

discarded because they had invalid source MAC addresses, you can use

the SHOW PORT-SECURITY INTRUSTION INTERFACE command.

Here is the format of the command:

show port-security intrusion interface

port

This example displays the number of discarded packets on port 17:

awplus# show port-security intrusion interface port1.0.17

Port Status The status of the port. The status can be

Enabled or Disabled. A port that has a

status of Enabled can forward network

traffic. A port that has a Disabled status

was shut down by the switch because it

has an intrusion action of shutdown, and it

received a packet with an unknown

source MAC address after learning its

maximum number of addresses. A port

can also have a status of Disabled if it

was manually disabled with the

SHUTDOWN command. To reactivate a

port with a Disabled status, use “NO

Violation Mode The intrusion action of the port. The

actions are:

Protect - Protect intrusion action

Restrict - Restrict intrusion action

Shutdown - Shut down intrusion action

Aging The status of MAC address aging on the

port. If the aging status is No, the MAC

addresses that are learned on the port are

added as static MAC addresses to the

MAC address table, so that they are

retained even when the source nodes are

inactive. If the aging status is Yes, the

MAC addresses that are learned on the

port are stored as dynamic MAC

addresses and are deleted when the

source nodes are inactive.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1040

Overview

This chapter explains 802.1x port-based network access control. This port

security feature lets you control who can send traffic through and receive

traffic from the individual switch ports. The switch does not allow an end

node to send or receive traffic through a port until the user of the node has

been authenticated by a RADIUS server.

This feature is used to prevent unauthorized individuals from connecting a

computer to a switch port or using an unattended workstation to access

your network resources. Only those users designated as valid network

users on a RADIUS server are permitted to use the switch to access the

network.

This port security method uses the RADIUS authentication protocol. The

management software of the switch includes RADIUS client software. If

you have already read Chapter 94, “RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients” on

page 1457, then you know that you can also use the RADIUS client

software on the switch, along with a RADIUS server on your network, to

create new remote manager accounts.

Note

RADIUS with Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) extensions

is the only supported authentication protocol for 802.1x port-based

network access control. This feature is not supported with the

TACACS+ authentication protocol.

Here are several terms to keep in mind when using this feature.

Supplicant - A supplicant is an end user or end node that wants to

access the network through a switch port. A supplicant may also

be referred to as a client.

Authenticator - The authenticator is a port that prohibits network

access until a supplicant has logged on and been validated by the

RADIUS server.

Authentication server - The authentication server is the network

device that has the RADIUS server software. This is the device

that does the actual authenticating of the supplicants.

The switch does not authenticate any supplicants connected to its ports.

Its function is to act as an intermediary between the supplicants and the

authentication server during the authentication process.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1041

Authentication Process

Below is a brief overview of the authentication process that occurs

between a supplicant, authenticator, and authentication server. For further

details, refer to the IEEE 802.1x standard.

Either the authenticator (that is, a switch port) or the supplicant

initiates an authentication message exchange. The switch initiates

an exchange when it detects a change in the status of a port (such

as when the port transitions from no link to valid link), or if it

receives a packet on the port with a source MAC address not in the

MAC address table.

An authenticator starts the exchange by sending an EAP-Request/

Identity packet. A supplicant starts the exchange with an EAPOL-

Start packet, to which the authenticator responds with an EAP-

Request/Identity packet.

The supplicant responds with an EAP-Response/Identity packet to

the authentication server via the authenticator.

The authentication server responds with an EAP-Request packet

to the supplicant via the authenticator.

The supplicant responds with an EAP-Response packet containing

a username and password.

The authentication server sends either an EAP-Success packet or

EAP-Reject packet to the supplicant via the authenticator.

Upon successful authorization of the supplicant by the

authentication server, the switch adds the supplicant’s MAC

address to the MAC address as an authorized address and begins

forwarding network traffic to and from the authorized supplicant.

When the supplicant sends an EAPOL-Logoff message, the switch

removes the supplicant’s MAC address from the MAC address

table, preventing the supplicant from sending or receiving any

further traffic from the port.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1042

Port Roles

Part of the task to implementing this feature is specifying the roles of the

ports on the switch. The roles are listed here:

None

Authenticator

Supplicant

None Role Switch ports in the none role do not participate in port-based access

control. They forward traffic without authenticating the supplicants of the

network devices. This is the default setting for the switch ports.

Note

A RADIUS authentication server cannot authenticate itself and must

communicate with the switch through a port that is not configured as

an authenticator port.

Authenticator

Role

The authenticator role activates port access control on a port. Ports in this

role do not forward network traffic to or from network devices until the

supplicants are authenticated by a RADIUS server. The authenticator role

is appropriate when you want the switch to authenticate the supplicants of

network devices before they can use the network.

Supplicant Role A switch port in the supplicant role acts as a supplicant. It has to log on by

providing a valid user name and password to the device it is connected to,

typically another switch port, before forwarding traffic.

Figure 184 on page 1043 illustrates the supplicant port role. Port 1.0.11 on

switch B is set to the supplicant role. Whenever switch B is power cycled

or reset and initiates a link with switch A, it must log on by providing a

username and password, which switch A sends to the RADIUS server for

validation. (You enter this information when you configure the port for the

supplicant role.)

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1043

Figure 184. Example of the Supplicant Role

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1044

Authentication Methods for Authenticator Ports

Authenticator ports support two authentication methods:

802.1x username and password combination

This authentication mode requires that the supplicants be assigned

unique username and password combinations or digital certificates

on the RADIUS server. A supplicant must provide the information

either manually or automatically when initially passing traffic

through an authenticator port and during reauthentications. The

802.1x client software on the supplicant either prompts the user for

the necessary information or provides the information

automatically.

Assigning unique username and password combinations to your

network users and requiring the users to provide the information

when they initially send traffic through the switch can enhance

network security by limiting network access to only those

supplicants who have been assigned valid combinations. Another

advantage is that the authentication is not tied to any specific

computer or node. An end user can log on from any system and

still be verified by the RADIUS server as a valid user of the switch

and network.

This authentication method requires 802.1x client software on the

supplicant nodes.

MAC address-based authentication

An alternative method is to use the source MAC format as the

username and password combination for the device, for example:

00-00-01-00-00-00. The supplicant is not prompted for this

information. Rather, the switch extracts the source MAC address

from the initial frames received from a node and automatically

sends it as both the username and password of the node to the

RADIUS server for authentication.

The advantage to this approach is that the supplicant need not

have 802.1x client software. The disadvantage is that because the

supplicant is not prompted for a username and password

combination, it does not guard against an unauthorized individual

from gaining access to the network through an unattended network

node or by counterfeiting a valid network MAC address.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1045

Operational Settings for Authenticator Ports

An authenticator port can have one of three possible operational settings:

Auto - Activates port-based authentication. The port begins in the

unauthorized state, forwarding only EAPOL frames and discarding

all other traffic. The authentication process begins when the link

state of the port changes or the port receives an EAPOL-Start

packet from a supplicant. The switch requests the identity of the

supplicant and begins relaying authentication messages between

the supplicant and the RADIUS authentication server. After the

supplicant is validated by the RADIUS server, the port begins

forwarding all traffic to and from the supplicant.

Force-authorized - Automatically places the port in the authorized

state without any authentication exchange required. The port

transmits and receives normal traffic without authenticating the

supplicant.

Force-unauthorized - Causes the port to remain in the

unauthorized state, ignoring all attempts by the supplicant to

authenticate. The port forwards EAPOL frames, but discards all

other traffic. This setting is analogous to disabling a port.

As mentioned earlier, the switch itself does not authenticate supplicants.

That function is performed by the authentication server and the RADIUS

server software. The switch acts as an intermediary for the authentication

server by denying access to the network by the supplicant until the

supplicant has been validated by the authentication server.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1046

Operating Modes for Authenticator Ports

Authenticator ports have three modes:

Single-host mode

Multi-host mode

Multi-supplicant mode

Single-Host Mode An authenticator port set to the single-host mode permits only one

supplicant to log on and forwards only the traffic of that supplicant. After

one supplicant has logged on, the port discards packets from any other

supplicant.

In Figure 185, port 1.0.6 is an authenticator port set to the single-host

mode. It permits only one supplicant to log on and forwards the traffic of

just that supplicant.

Figure 185. Single-Host Mode

Multi-Host Mode This mode permits multiple supplicants on an authenticator port. An

authenticator host forwards packets from all supplicants once one

supplicant has successfully logged on. This mode is typically used in

situations where you want to add 802.1x port-based network access

control to a switch port that is supporting multiple supplicants, but do not

want to create individual accounts for all the supplicants on the RADIUS

server.

This is referred to as “piggy-backing.” After one supplicant has

successfully logged on, the port permits the other supplicants to piggy-

back onto the initial supplicant’s log on, so that they can forward packets

through the port without being authenticated.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1047

Note, however, that should the supplicant who performed the initial logon

fail to periodically reauthenticate or log out, the authenticator port reverts

to the unauthenticated state. It bars all further traffic to and from all the

supplicants until the initial supplicant or another supplicant logs on.

Figure 186 is an example of this mode. Port 1.0.6 is connected to an

Ethernet hub or non-802.1x compliant switch, which in turn is connected to

several supplicants. The switch does not forward the supplicant traffic until

one of the supplicants logs on. Afterwards, it forwards the traffic of all the

supplicants.

Figure 186. Multi-Host Operating Mode

If the port is configured as 802.1x Authenticator, one supplicant must have

802.1x client firmware and must provide a username and password during

authentication. (The other supplicants do not need 802.1x client firmware

to forward traffic through the port after one supplicant has been

authenticated.)

If the port is using MAC address-based authentication, 802.1x client

firmware is not required. The MAC address of the first supplicant to

forward traffic through the port is used for authentication. When that

supplicant is authenticated, all supplicants have access to the port.

As mentioned earlier, should the supplicant who performed the initial logon

fail to reauthenticate when necessary or log out, the port reverts to the

unauthenticated state, blocking all traffic to and from all supplicants.

Another supplicant must be authenticated in order for all remaining

supplicants to continue to forward traffic through the port.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1048

Multi-Supplicant

Mode

This mode authenticates all the supplicants on an authenticator port. This

mode is appropriate in situations where an authenticator port is supporting

more than one supplicant, and you want all supplicants to be

authenticated. A switch can support up to a maximum of 208 supplicants.

If the authentication method is MAC address-based, the authenticator port

uses the MAC addresses of the supplicants as the username and

password combinations. The port accepts and forwards traffic only from

those supplicants whose MAC addresses have been entered on the

RADIUS server and denies access to all other users.

An example of this authenticator operating mode is illustrated in Figure

187 on page 1049. The supplicants are connected to a hub or non-802.1x

compliant switch which is connected to an authenticator port on the

switch. If the port is configured as 802.1x Authenticator, the supplicants

must successfully authenticate before they can forward traffic through the

switch.

Supplicant and VLAN Associations

One of the challenges to managing a network is accommodating end

users who roam. These are individuals whose work requires that they

access the network resources from different points at different times. The

difficulty arises in providing them with access to the same network

resources and, conversely, restricting them from unauthorized areas,

regardless of the workstation from where they access the network. A

closely related issue is where a workstation is employed at various times

by different individuals with unique requirements in terms of network

resources and security levels.

Providing network users with access to their network resources while also

maintaining network security is often achieved through the use of VLANs.

As explained in Chapter 58, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs” on page

879, a VLAN is an independent traffic domain where the traffic generated

by the nodes within the VLAN is restricted to nodes of the same VLAN,

unless there is a router or Layer 3 device. Different users are assigned to

different VLANs depending on their resource requirements and security

levels.

The problem with a port-based VLAN is that VLAN membership is

determined by the port on the switch to which the device is connected. If a

different device that needs to belong to a different VLAN is connected to

the port, the port must be moved manually to the new VLAN using the

management software.

With 802.1x port-based network access control, you can link a username

and password combination or MAC address to a specific VLAN so that the

switch automatically moves the port to the appropriate VLAN when a

supplicant logs on. This frees the network manager from having to

reconfigure VLANs as end users access the network from different points

or where the same workstation is used by different individuals at different

times.

To use this feature, you have to enter a VLAN identifier, along with other

information, when you create a supplicant account on the RADIUS server.

The server passes the identifier to the switch when a user logs on with a

valid username and password combination or MAC address, depending

on the authentication method. The information to provide on the RADIUS

server is outlined in “Supplicant VLAN Attributes on the RADIUS Server”

on page 1052.

How the switch responds when it receives VLAN information during the

authentication process can differ depending on the operating mode of the

authenticator port.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1051

Single-Host Mode Here are the operating characteristics for the switch when an authenticator

port is set to the single-host mode:

If the switch receives a valid VLAN ID from the RADIUS server, it

moves the authenticator port to the designated VLAN and changes

the port to the authorized state. Only the authenticated supplicant

is allowed to use the port. All other supplicants are denied entry.

If the switch receives an invalid VLAN ID from the RADIUS server

(for example, the VID of a nonexistent VLAN), it leaves the port in

the unauthorized state to deny access to the port.

Multi-Host Mode Here are the operating characteristics for the switch when an authenticator

port is set to the multi-host mode:

If the switch receives a valid VLAN ID from the RADIUS server, it

moves the authenticator port to the designated VLAN and changes

the port to the authorized state. All supplicants are allowed access

to the port and the same VLAN after the initial authentication.

If the switch receives an invalid VLAN ID from the RADIUS server

(for example, the VID of a nonexistent VLAN), it leaves the port in

the unauthorized state to deny access to the port.

Multi-Supplicant

Mode

The initial authentication on an authenticator port running in the multi-

supplicant mode is handled in the same fashion as with the single-host

mode.

In multi-supplicant mode, how the switch handles subsequent

authentications on the same port depends on whether dynamic VLAN

creation is in one of the following states:

Disabled - NO AUTH DYNAMIC-VLAN-CREATION

If dynamic VLAN creation is disabled by issuing NO AUTH DYNAMIC-

VLAN-CREATION, all supplicants that successfully authenticate will be

made part of the VLAN of which the authenticator port is a member,

regardless of the VLAN ID attribute in the RADIUS server response.

Enabled for single dynamic VLAN creation - AUTH DYNAMIC-

VLAN-CREATION SINGLE

If dynamic VLAN creation is enabled by issuing AUTH DYNAMIC-VLAN-

CREATION SINGLE, the first supplicant is authenticated and put in its

VLAN per the RADIUS server response. Additional supplicants

authenticating to the same VLAN as the first authenticated supplicant will

be authenticated and placed in the VLAN. However, all other supplicants

authenticating to a different VLAN will be denied access.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1052

Enabled for multi dynamic VLAN creation - AUTH DYNAMIC-

VLAN-CREATION MULTI

If dynamic VLAN creation is enabled by issuing AUTH DYNAMIC-VLAN-

CREATION MULTI, each supplicant that successfully authenticates will be

placed in its own VLAN.

Supplicant VLAN

Attributes on the

RADIUS Server

The following information must be entered as part of a supplicant’s

account on the RADIUS server when associating a supplicant to an

untagged VLAN.

Tunnel-Type

The protocol to be used by the tunnel specified by Tunnel-Private-

Group-Id. The only supported value is VLAN (13).

Tunnel-Medium-Type

The transport medium to be used for the tunnel specified by

Tunnel-Private-Group-Id. The only supported value is 802 (6).

Tunnel-Private-Group-ID

The ID of the tunnel the authenticated user should use. This must

be the name of VID of the VLAN of the switch.

The following information must be entered as part of a supplicant’s

account on the RADIUS server when associating a supplicant to a tagged

VLAN:

Egress-VLANID attribute (specified in RFC4675 - used to specify

802.1Q tagged and untagged VLAN assignments with LLDP-MED/

VoiceVLAN). The only supported value is Egress-VLANID (56).

For example: Egress-VLANID := 0x3100005A represents Tagged with

VLANID = 90.

Note

Only “Tagged” is supported, that is the attribute value must begin

with 0x31. For untagged VLANs, use Tunnel-Private-Group-ID.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1053

Guest VLAN

An authenticator port in the unauthorized state typically accepts and

transmits only 802.1x packets while waiting to authenticate a supplicant.

However, you can configure an authenticator port to be a member of a

guest VLAN when no supplicant is logged on or when a supplicant has

failed authentication. Any supplicant using the port is not required to log on

and has full access to the resources of the guest VLAN.

If the switch receives 802.1x packets on the port, signalling that a

supplicant is logging on, the authentication process continues normally. If

dynamic VLAN creation is enabled using AUTH DYNAMIC-VLAN-

CREATION SINGLE, the authenticator port will be moved to the VLAN

assigned by the RADIUS Server. If dynamic VLAN creation is disabled

using NO AUTH DYNAMIC-VLAN-CREATION, after successful

authentication, the port will be moved to Default VLAN 1, or the configured

native VLAN (if a VLAN is configured). When the supplicant logs off, the

port automatically returns to the guest VLAN.

Note

The Guest VLAN feature is only supported on an authenticator port

in the Single-host operating mode.

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1054

Guidelines

Here are the general guidelines to this feature:

Ports operating under port-based access control do not support

dynamic MAC address learning.

A port that is connected to a RADIUS authentication server must

not be set to the authenticator role because an authentication

server cannot authenticate itself.

The authentication method of an authenticator port can be either

802.1x or MAC address-based, but not both.

A supplicant connected to an authenticator port set to the 802.1x

authentication method must have 802.1x client software.

A supplicant does not need 802.1x client software if the

authentication method of an authenticator port is MAC address-

based.

The maximum number of supported supplicants on the entire

switch is 208.

An 802.1x username and password combination is not tied to the

MAC address of an end node. This allows end users to use the

same username and password when working at different

workstations.

After a supplicant has successfully logged on, the MAC address of

the end node is added to the switch’s MAC address table as an

authenticated address. It remains in the table until the supplicant

logs off the network or fails to reauthenticate, at which point the

address is removed. The address is not timed out, even if the node

becomes inactive.

Note

End users of 802.1x port-based network access control should be

instructed to always log off when they are finished with a work

session. This can prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing

the network through unattended network workstations.

Authenticator ports cannot use MAC address-based port security.

For further information, refer to Chapter 67, “MAC Address-based

Port Security” on page 1015.

Authenticator ports cannot be members of static port trunks, LACP

port trunks, or a port mirror.

A port set to the supplicant role and connected to another port that

is not set to the authenticator role will begin to forward traffic after a

timeout period and without logging on.

Authenticator ports cannot use GVRP.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1055

You cannot change the untagged VLAN assignment of a port after

it has been designated as an authenticator port. To change the

untagged VLAN assignment of an authenticator port, you must first

remove the authenticator designation. You can reapply the

authenticator role to the port after moving it to its new VLAN

assignment. Dynamic VLANs are supported only if the native

VLAN is the default (that is, 1).

To use the Guest VLAN feature, you have to manually create the

VLAN. The switch does not create it automatically.

The switch supports EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-

PEAP authentication methods.

The switch must have a management IP address to communicate

with the RADIUS server. For background information, refer to

Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

Here are the guidelines to adding VLAN assignments to supplicant

accounts on a RADIUS server:

The VLAN must be an 802.1q VLAN.

The VLAN must already exist on the switch.

A supplicant can have only one VLAN associated with it on the

RADIUS server.

When a supplicant logs on, the switch port is moved to an

untagged/tagged VLAN as per the authenticator server’s response.

1056

Enabling 802.1x Port-Based Network Access Control on the Switch

To activate 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control on the switch, go

to the Global Configuration mode and enter the AAA AUTHENTICATION

DOT1X DEFAUT GROUP RADIUS command. The command has no

parameters. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa authentication dot1x default group

radius

Note

You should configure the RADIUS client on the switch before

activating port-based access control. For instructions, refer to

Chapter 94, “RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients” on page 1457 or

Chapter 95, “RADIUS and TACACS+ Client Commands” on page

1473.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1057

Configuring Authenticator Ports

Designating

Authenticator

Ports

You have to designate ports as authenticator ports before you can

configure their settings. There are three DOT1X PORT-CONTROL

commands for designating authenticator ports.

The DOT1X PORT-CONTROL AUTO command designates ports such

that they immediately begin to function as authenticator ports, blocking all

traffic until supplicants successfully authenticate. This example of the

command configures ports 1.0.1 and 1.0.5 to immediately commence

functioning as authenticator ports.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1,port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto

Caution

Using the DOT1X PORT-CONTROL AUTO command when the

switch is part of a live network interrupts network operations

because the designated ports stop forwarding traffic until the

supplicants log on.

Designating the

Authentication

Methods

A port can be configured for either 802.1x authentication or MAC based

authentication.

To enable 802.1x authentication, use the DOTX PORT-CONTROL AUTO

command. To configure a port to the MAC address authentication method,

use the AUTH-MAC ENABLE command. This example configures port

1.0.16 as an authenticator port that uses the MAC address authentication

method:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa authentication auth-mac default group

radius

awplus(config)# radius-server host 176.225.15.23 key abt54

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

awplus(config-if)# auth-mac enable

If, after configuring an authenticator port for MAC address authentication,

you decide to change it back to 802.1x authentication, use the NO AUTH-

MAC ENABLE command and then use the DOTX PORT-CONTROL

AUTO command. This example of the command restores 802.1x

authentication to port 1.0.12:

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1058

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.12

awplus(config-if)# no auth-mac enable

awplus(config-if)# dotx port-control auto

Configuring the

Operating Modes

As explained in “Operating Modes for Authenticator Ports” on page 1046,

authenticator ports have three operating modes:

Single-host mode - For authenticator ports that are connected to a

single node.

Multi-host mode- For authenticator ports that are connected to

multiple nodes. The ports forward all traffic after just one supplicant

successfully logs on.

Multi-supplicant mode - For authenticator ports that are connected

to multiple nodes. The supplicants must log on individually before

the ports forward their traffic.

The command for setting the operating mode is the AUTH HOST-MODE

command in the Port Interface mode. The format of the command is

shown here:

auth host-mode single-host| multi-host| multi-supplicant

This example configures port 1.0.1 as an authenticator port that uses the

single-host mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1

awplus(config-if)# auth host-mode single-host

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1059

This example configures port 1.0.8 to use the multi-host mode so that it

forwards traffic from all supplicants after just one supplicant logs on:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto

awplus(config-if)# auth host-mode multi-host

This example configures ports 1.0.16 to 1.0.19 to use the MAC address

authentication method and the multi-supplicant mode so that the nodes

are authenticated individually:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16-port1.0.19

awplus(config-if)# auth-mac enable

awplus(config-if)# auth host-mode multi-supplicant

Chapter 69: 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control

1060

Configuring Reauthentication

Table 110 lists the commands in the Port Interface mode for configuring

reauthentication on authenticator ports. Reauthentication causes

authenticator ports to periodically re-initiate authentication of supplicants.

This is an additional security feature that protects your network by having

supplicants periodically repeat the authentication process.

This example activates reauthentication on authenticator ports 1.0.21 and

1.0.22 so that the supplicants must reauthenticate every 2 hours (7200

seconds):

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21,port1.0.22

awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control auto

awplus(config-if)# auth reauthentication

awplus(config-if)# auth timeout reauth-period 7200

This example deactivates reauthentication on port 1.0.21:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21

awplus(config-if)# no auth reauthentication

Removing Ports from the Authenticator Role

To remove ports from the authenticator role so that they forward traffic

without authenticating supplicants, go to the Port Interface mode of the

ports and enter the NO DOT1X PORT-CONTROL command. This

example removes the authenticator role from ports 1.0.1 to 1.0.4 and

1.0.18:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.4,port1.0.18

Configuring Supplicant Ports

This section reviews the commands for configuring supplicant ports.

Designating

Supplicant Ports

Use the DOT1X PORT-CONTROL SUPPLICANT command in the Port

Interface mode to activate the supplicant role on ports. This example of

the command activates the supplicant role on port 1.0.17:

Note

Before activating the supplicant role on a port, the 802.1x port-based

network access control must first be enabled on the switch using the

AAA AUTHENTICATION DOT1X DEFAULT GROUP RADIUS

command. Refer to “Enabling 802.1x Port-Based Network Access

Control on the Switch” on page 1056.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.17

awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control supplicant

Configuring

Supplicant Ports

Table 111 lists the commands for assigning usernames and passwords to

supplicant ports. Supplicant ports must have usernames and passwords

to supply to the authenticator ports to which they are connected.

This example of the commands configures port 1.0.15 as a supplicant port

and assigns it the username srv12a and password Art78:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15

awplus(config-if)# dot1x port-control supplicant

awplus(config-if)# dot1x supplicant-params username srv12a

use “SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG INTERFACE” on page 240.

Removing Ports

from the

Supplicant Role

The command for removing ports from the supplicant role and returning

them to the none role is the NO DOT1X PORT-CONTROL SUPPLICANT

command in the Port Interface mode. This example of the command

returns ports 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 to the none role from the supplicant role:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# no dot1x port-control supplicant

Note

Ports lose their supplicant parameter settings when returned to the

none role.

1065

Disabling 802.1x Port-Based Network Access Control on the Switch

To disable 802.1x port-based network access control on the switch so that

the ports forward packets without authentication, go to the Global

Configuration mode and enter the NO AAA AUTHENTICATION DOT1X

DEFAULT GROUP RADIUS command. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no aaa authentication dot1x default group

radius

Note

The switch retains the configuration settings of the authenticator and

supplicant ports when 802.1x port-based network access control is

deactivated. Authenticator ports will also not forward traffic of

connected hosts until the dot1x interface configuration has also

been negated.

Chapter 71: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

1122

Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is another way for you

to monitor and configure the switch. This method lets you view and

change the individual objects in the Management Information Base (MIB)

in the management software on the switch, without having to use the

command line commands.

The switch supports three versions of SNMP— SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and

SNMPv3. This chapter discusses SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. For information

on SNMPv3, refer to Chapter 73, ”SNMPv3 Commands” on page 1157.

Here are the main steps to using SNMP:

Assign a management IP address to the switch. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

Activate SNMP management on the switch. The default setting is

disabled. For instructions, refer to Chapter 71, “Enabling SNMPv1

and SNMPv2c” on page 1124.

Create one or more community strings. (You can use the default

public and private strings.) For instructions, refer to “Creating

Community Strings” on page 1125.

Load the Allied Telesis MIBs for the switch onto your SNMP

management workstation. The MIBs are available from the Allied

Telesis web site at www.alliedtelesis.com.

A community string must be assigned an access level. The levels are

Read and Read/Write. A community string that has an access level of

Read can be used to view, but not change, the MIB objects on the switch.

A community string that has a Read/Write access level can be used to

both view the MIB objects and change them.

The switch can have up to eight community strings. The switch has two

default community strings: public and private. The public string has an

access level of Read, and the private string has an access mode of Read/

Write. If you activate SNMP management on the switch, you should delete

the private community string, which is a standard community string in the

industry, to protect the switch from unauthorized changes.

The switch can send SNMP trap and inform messages to notify you about

device events, such as changes in the states of port links. These

messages are sent to receivers on your network. The difference between

the messages is that the switch, when it sends inform messages, expects

to receive acknowledgements from the receivers, whereas it does not

expect acknowledgements when it sends traps.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1123

To configure the switch to send trap or inform messages, you have to add

to one or more of the community strings the IP addresses of the trap and

inform receivers on your network. For trap messages, you must also

specify the format in which the switch should send the messages. The

format can be either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c. For inform messages, the

format is always SNMPv2c. For instructions, refer to “Adding or Removing

IP Addresses of Trap or Inform Receivers” on page 1126.

You can configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c with the SNMPv3 Table

commands described in Chapter 73, ”SNMPv3 Commands” on page 1157.

However, the SNMPv3 Table commands require a much more extensive

configuration.

Chapter 71: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

1124

Enabling SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

To enable SNMP on the switch, use the SNMP-SERVER command, found

in the Global Configuration mode. The command has no parameters. The

switch begins to send trap and inform messages to the receivers and

permits remote management from SNMP workstations as soon as you

enter the command. This assumes, of course, you have already created

the community strings and added the IP addresses of trap and inform

receivers. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1125

Creating Community Strings

To create SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community strings, use the SNMP-

SERVER COMMUNITY command. This command is found in the Global

Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:

snmp-server community

community

rw|ro

You can create only one string at a time with the command. The

COMMUNITY parameter is the name of the new string. It can be up to 15

alphanumeric characters and special characters, such as, !@#$%^&*?<>,

and is case sensitive. Spaces are not allowed.

The RW and RO options define the access levels of new community

strings. RW is read-write and RO is read-only.

This example creates the community string “plarnum” with read-write

access:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server community plarnum rw

This example creates the community string “station5b2” with read-only

access:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server community station5b2 ro

Chapter 71: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

1126

Adding or Removing IP Addresses of Trap or Inform Receivers

The command to add IP addresses of trap or inform receivers to

community strings is the SNMP-SERVER HOST command. Here is the

format:

snmp-server host

ipaddress

traps|informs version 1|2c

community

The IPADDRESS parameter is the IP address of a receiver. The

COMMUNITY parameter is an existing community string to which you

want to add the address. The community string is case sensitive.

The TRAPS and INFORMS parameters control whether or not the switch

expects to receive acknowledgements from your SNMP applications after

it sends the messages. Acknowledgements are expected for inform

messages, but not for trap messages.

The 1 and 2C parameters define the format of the trap messages. The

switch can send trap messages in either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c format.

Inform messages can only be sent in SNMPv2c format.

Note

SNMP must be activated on the switch for you to add trap or inform

receivers to community strings. To activate SNMP, use the SNMP-

SERVER command in the Global Configuration mode.

This example activates SNMP on the switch and assigns the IP address

121.12.142.8 as a trap receiver to the private community string. The

messages are sent in SNMPv2c format:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus# snmp-server

awplus(config)# snmp-server host 121.12.142.8 trap version

2c private

The rest of the examples assume that SNMP is already activated on the

switch and so omit the SNMP-SERVER command.

This example assigns the IP address 121.14.154.11 as a trap receiver to

the community string “Wanpam.” The messages are sent in SNMPv1

format:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server host 121.14.154.11 trap version

1 Wanpam

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1127

This example assigns the IP address 143.154.76.17 as an inform

message receiver to the community string “st_bldg2.” Inform messages

must be sent in SNMPv2c format:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# snmp-server host 143.154.76.17 informs

version 2c st_bldg2

To remove IP addresses of trap or inform receivers from community

strings, use the NO form of the command. This example removes the IP

address 121.12.142.8 of a trap receiver from the private community string:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no snmp-server host 121.12.142.8 trap

version 2c private

Chapter 71: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

1128

Deleting Community Strings

To delete community strings, use the NO SNMP-SERVER COMMUNITY

command. Here is the format:

no snmp-server community

community

You can delete only one community string at a time with the command,

which is found in the Global Configuration mode. The COMMUNITY

parameter is case sensitive.

This example deletes the “ytnar12a” community string from the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no snmp-server community ytnar12a

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1129

Disabling SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

To disable SNMP on the switch, use the NO SNMP-SERVER command.

You cannot remotely manage the switch with an SNMP application when

SNMP is disabled. Furthermore, the switch stops transmitting trap and

inform messages to your SNMP applications. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no snmp-server

Chapter 71: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

1130

Displaying SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c

To learn whether SNMP is enabled or disabled on the switch, go to the

Privileged Exec mode and issue the SHOW SNMP-SERVER command:

awplus# show snmp-server

Here is an example of what is displayed.

Figure 198. SHOW SNMP-SERVER Command

The status of SNMP is displayed in the first field as either Enabled or

Disabled. (The other fields in the window are not applicable to SNMPv1

and SNMPv2c.)

To view the community strings on the switch, use the SHOW SNMP-

SERVER COMMUNITY command:

awplus# show snmp-server community

Here is an example of the information the command displays:

Figure 199. SHOW SNMP-SERVER COMMUNITY Command

The information that the command provides for each community string

includes the community name and the access level of read-write or read-

only. There is also a view field which, for community strings created

through the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c commands, always has a value of

None, indicating that the strings give an SNMP application access to the

entire MIB tree of the switch. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community strings

created with SNMPv3 can be configured so that they are restricted to

particular parts of the MIB tree.

SNMP Server ....... Enabled

Chapter 74: sFlow Agent

1184

Overview

The sFlow agent allows the switch to gather data about the traffic on the

ports and to send the data to an sFlow collector on your network for

analysis. You can use the information to monitor the performance of your

network or identify traffic bottlenecks.

The sFlow agent can gather two types of information about the traffic on

the ports of the switch:

Ingress packet samples

Packet counters

Ingress Packet

Samples

The sFlow agent can capture ingress packets on ports and send copies of

the packets to an sFlow collector on your network for analysis. Depending

on the capabilities of a collector, packets can be scrutinized for source and

destination MAC or IP addresses, protocol type, length, and so forth.

Packet sampling is activated by specifying sampling rates on the ports.

This value defines the average number of ingress packets from which the

agent samples one packet. For example, a sampling rate of 1000 on a port

prompts the agent to send one packet from an average of 1000 ingress

packets to the designated sFlow collector. Different ports can have

different rates.

Packet Counters The agent can also gather and send data to a collector about overall

information regarding the status and performance of the ports, such as

speeds and status, and the statistics from the packet counters. The

counters contain the number and types of ingress and egress packets

handled by the ports since the switch or the counters were last reset. Here

is the port status and counter information the agent can gather and send

to a collector on your network:

Port number

Port type

Speed

Direction

Status

Number of ingress and egress octets

Number of ingress and egress unicast packets

Number of ingress and egress multicast packets

Number of ingress and egress broadcast packets

Number of ingress and egress discarded packets

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1185

Number of ingress and egress packets with errors

Number of ingress packets with unknown protocols

To configure the agent to forward these port statistics to a collector, you

have to specify polling rates, which define the maximum amount of time

permitted between successive queries of the counters of a port by the

agent.

Different ports can have different polling rates. Ports to which critical

network devices are connected may be assigned low polling rates, so that

the information on the collector is kept up-to-date. Ports connected to less

critical devices may be assigned higher polling rates.

To increase its efficiency, the agent may send port status and counter

information before the polling interval of a port times out. For example, if

you define a polling interval of five minutes for a port, the agent, depending

on its internal dynamics, may send the information to the collector before

five minutes have actually elapsed.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to the sFlow agent.

You can specify just one sFlow collector.

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

If the sFlow collector is not a member of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, the switch must be able to

access the subnet in which the collector is located, through routers

or other Layer 3 devices.

If the sFlow collector is not a member of the same subnet as the

management IP address of the switch, the switch must have a

default gateway that specifies the first hop to reaching the

collector’s subnet. For instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and

IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

This feature is not dependent on SNMP. You do not have to enable

or configure SNMP on the switch to use it. Additionally, you cannot

use an sFlow collector with SNMP to configure or manage this

feature.

Chapter 74: sFlow Agent

1186

Configuring the sFlow Agent

The command for defining the IP address of the sFlow collector is the

SFLOW COLLECTOR IP command. The command, which is located in

the Global Configuration mode, has this format:

sflow collector ip

ipaddress

port

udp_port

The IPADDRESS parameter specifies the IP address of the collector and

the UDP_PORT parameter its UDP port. This example specifies the IP

address of the sFlow collector as 154.122.11.24 and the UDP port as

6300:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# sflow collector ip 154.122.11.24 port 6300

After configuring the agent, go to the next section to configure the ports

whose performance data is to be sent to the collector.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1187

Configuring the Ports

To configure the ports so that their performance data is collected by the

sFlow agent, you have to define two variables, one of which is optional.

The variables are listed here:

Sampling rate (optional)

Polling rate (required)

Note

If the sFlow agent is already enabled on the switch, it will be

necessary to disable it while you set these parameters. For

instructions, refer to “Disabling the sFlow Agent” on page 1190.

Configuring the

Sampling Rate

If you want the sFlow agent to collect packet samples from the ports on the

switch and to send the samples to the sFlow collector, you have to specify

sampling rates. The sampling rates define the average number of ingress

packets from which one packet is sampled. Each port can have just one

sampling rate, but different ports can have different rates. The packet

sampling rate is controlled with the SFLOW SAMPLING-RATE command

in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format of the command:

sflow sampling-rate

value

The VALUE parameter specifies the average number of ingress packets

on a port from which one sample is taken by the agent and sent to the

sFlow collector. The permitted values are 0 and 256 to 16441700 packets.

For example, if you specify a sampling rate of 10000 packets on a port, the

agent samples an average of one packet in 10,000 ingress packets. To

disable packet sampling on a port, enter the value 0 for the sampling rate

or use the NO form of the command.

This example sets the sampling rate on ports 2 and 3 to 1 packet in every

2000 ingress packets:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.2,port1.0.3

awplus(config-if)# sflow sampling-rate 2000

This example disables packet sampling on port 8:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# no sflow sampling-rate

Chapter 74: sFlow Agent

1188

Configuring the

Polling Interval

The polling interval determines how frequently the agent queries the

packet counters of the ports and sends the data to the collector. This is the

maximum amount of time allowed between successive queries of the

counters by the agent on the switch. The range is 0 to 16777215 seconds.

For example, if you set the polling interval to 400 seconds on a port, the

agent polls the counters of the designated port and sends the data to the

collector at least once every 400 seconds.

Just as with the sampling rate, a port can have just one polling rate, but

different ports can have different settings.

The command to set this value is the SFLOW POLLING-INTERVAL

command in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format of the command:

sflow polling-interval

value

This example of the command sets the polling interval to 100 seconds on

ports 4, 9, and 11:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.9,port1.0.11

awplus(config-if)# sflow polling-interval 100

To disable the polling of the packet counters on a port, enter the value 0

for the polling interval or use the NO form of this command, as shown in

this example, which disables packet counters polling on port 23:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# no sflow polling-interval

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1189

Enabling the sFlow Agent

Use the SFLOW ENABLE command in the Global Configuration mode to

activate the sFlow agent so that the switch begins to gather packet

samples and packet counters and to transmit the data to the sFlow

collector on your network. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# sflow enable

This command assumes that you have already performed these steps:

Added the IP address of the collector to the sFlow agent with the

SFLOW COLLECTOR IP command.

Used the SFLOW SAMPLING-RATE and SFLOW POLLING-

INTERVAL IP commands to configure those ports from which

performance data is to be gathered.

Assigned the switch a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The switch immediately begins transmitting the packet samples and

packet counters to the collector as soon as you enter the command.

Chapter 74: sFlow Agent

1190

Disabling the sFlow Agent

To stop the sFlow agent from collecting performance data on the ports on

the switch and from sending the data to the collector on your network, use

the NO SFLOW ENABLE command in the Global Configuration mode.

Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no sflow enable

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1191

Displaying the sFlow Agent

To view the IP addresses and UDP port settings of the collectors as

defined in the sFlow agent on the switch, use the SHOW SFLOW

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus(config)# show sflow

Here is an example of the display.

1192

Configuration Example

Here is an example of how to configure the sFlow agent. The IP address

of the sFlow collector is 152.232.56.11. The ports from which performance

data will be collected will be ports 3, 11, 12, and 21 to 23. Ports 3, 11,and

12 will have a polling rate of 120 seconds and sampling rate of 1 packet in

an average of 10.000 packets. Ports 21 to 23 will have a polling rate of

1800 seconds and sampling rate of 1 packet in every 50.000 packets.

This first series of commands adds the IP address of the sFlow collector to

the agent on the switch. You must add the IP address of the collector

before configuring the polling and sampling rates of the ports.

The next series of commands configures the sFlow settings of the ports.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# sflow collector ip 152.232.56.11

port 6342

Use the SFLOW COLLECTOR IP

command to add the IP address of

the sFlow collector to the sFlow

agent on the switch.

awplus(config)# show sflow Use the SHOW SFLOW command

to confirm the IP address.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.3,port1.0.11,

port1.0.12

From the Global Configuration

mode, use the INTERFACE PORT

command to enter the Interface

mode for ports 3, 11, and 12.

awplus(config-if)# sflow sampling-rate 10000 Use the SFLOW SAMPLING-

RATE command to set the

sampling rate of the ports to 1

packet for every 10000 packets.

awplus(config-if)# sflow polling-interval 120 Use the SFLOW POLLING-

INTERVAL command to set the

polling rate of the statistics

counters of the ports to 120

seconds.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.21-port1.0.23 Use the INTERFACE PORT

command to enter the Interface

mode for ports 21 to 23.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1193

This last command activates the sFlow agent on the switch.

Depending on the amount of traffic on the ports and the values of the

sampling rates and polling intervals, there may be long periods of time in

which the agent on the switch does not send any information to the

collectors. For instance, if there is little or no traffic on port 23 in the

example, the agent will wait about 30 minutes (1800 seconds) before

sending performance data for that particular port.

awplus(config-if)# sflow sampling-rate 50000 Use the SFLOW SAMPLING-

RATE command to set the

sampling rate of the ports to 1

packet for every 50000 packets.

awplus(config-if)# sflow polling-interval 1800 Use the SFLOW POLLING-

INTERVAL command to set the

polling rate of the statistics

counters of the ports to 1800

seconds.

awplus(config-if)# exit Return to the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# show sflow Use the SHOW SFLOW command

again to confirm the configuration

of the ports.

awplus(config)# sflow enable Activate the agent with the

SFLOW ENABLE command.

Chapter 76: LLDP and LLDP-MED

1208

Overview

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol

for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-MED) allow Ethernet network devices,

such as switches and routers, to receive and transmit device-related

information to directly connected devices on the network that are also

using the protocols, and to store the information that is learned about other

devices. The data sent and received by LLDP and LLDP-MED are useful

for many reasons. The switch can discover other devices directly

connected to it. Neighboring devices can use LLDP to advertise some

parts of their Layer 2 configuration to each other, enabling some kinds of

misconfiguration to be more easily detected and corrected.

LLDP is a “one-hop” protocol; LLDP information can only be sent to and

received by devices that are directly connected to each other, or

connected via a hub or repeater. Devices that are directly connected to

each other are called neighbors. Advertised information is not forwarded

on to other devices on the network. LLDP is a one-way protocol. That is,

the information transmitted in LLDP advertisements flows in one direction

only, from one device to its neighbors, and the communication ends there.

Transmitted advertisements do not solicit responses, and received

advertisements do not solicit acknowledgements. LLDP cannot solicit any

information from other devices. LLDP operates over physical ports only.

For example, it can be configured on switch ports that belong to static port

trunks or LACP trunks, but not on the trunks themselves. In addition, LLDP

can be configured on switch ports that belong to VLANs, but not on the

VLANs themselves.

Each port can be configured to transmit local information, receive neighbor

information, or both. LLDP transmits information as packets called LLDP

Data Units (LLDPDUs). An LLDPDU consists of a set of Type-Length-

Value elements (TLV), each of which contains a particular type of

information about the device or port transmitting it.

A single LLDPDU contains multiple TLVs. TLVs are short information

elements that communicate complex data, such as variable length strings,

in a standardized format. Each TLV advertises a single type of

information, such as its device ID, type, or management addresses.

The TLVs are grouped as follows

“Mandatory LLDP TLVs” on page 1209

“Optional LLDP TLVs” on page 1209

“Optional LLDP-MED TLVs” on page 1211

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1209

Mandatory

LLDP TLVs

Mandatory LLDP TLVs are sent by default on ports that send TLVs. The

TLVs are defined in Table 120.

Optional LLDP

TLVs

You can configure the switch to send optional LLDP TLVs along with the

mandatory TLVs in the LLDPDUs. The following table describes the

optional TLVs from the basic management set and the organizationally

specific TLVs from the IEEE 802.1AB TLV set (Annex F).

Table 120. Mandatory LLDP TLVs

TLV Description

Chassis ID The device's chassis ID number. For

Allied Telesis devices, this is the MAC

address of the switch.

Port ID The number of the port that transmitted

the advertisements.

Time to Live (TTL) The length of time in seconds for which

the information received in the

advertisements remains valid. If the value

is greater than zero, the information is

stored in the switch’s neighbor table. If the

value is zero, the information is no longer

valid and is removed from the table.

Table 121. Optional LLDP TLVs (Continued)

TLV Description

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1211

The switch does not verify whether a device connected to a port is LLDP-

compatible prior to sending mandatory and optional LLDPs.

Optional LLDP-

MED TLVs

LLDP-MED is an extension of LLDP that is used between LAN network

connectivity devices, such as this switch, and media endpoint devices

connected to them, such as IP phones.

LLDP-MED uses the LLDP advertisement, transmission and storage

mechanisms, but transmits, receives, and stores data specifically related

to managing the voice endpoint devices. This includes information about

network policy, location, hardware configuration, and, for Power over

Ethernet-capable devices, power management.

LLDP-MED TLVs, unlike the other TLVs, are only sent if the switch detects

that an LLDP-MED activated device is connected to a port. Otherwise,

LLDP-MED TLVs are not transmitted.

Note

The switch is not an LLDP-MED activated device. The switch, while

capable of transmitting LLDP-MED TLVs to other devices, cannot

provide LLDP-MED information about itself.

The LLDP-MED TLVs are listed in Table 122.

Maximum frame size The maximum frame size the port can

forward.

Enabling LLDP and LLDP-MED on the Switch

To enable LLDP and LLDP-MED on the switch, use the LLDP RUN

command in the Global Configuration mode. The switch begins to transmit

advertisements from those ports that are configured to send TLVs, and

begins to populate its neighbor information table as advertisements from

the neighbors arrive on the ports. The command does not support any

parameters. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# lldp run

To deactivate LLDP and LLDP-MED, refer to “Disabling LLDP and LLDP-

MED on the Switch” on page 1232.

Configuring Ports to Only Receive LLDP and LLDP-MED TLVs

This is the first in a series of examples that show how to configure the

ports for LLDP and LLDP-MED. In this first example, ports 4 and 18 are

configured to accept advertisements from their neighbors, but not to send

any advertisements.

If LLDP is active on the switch, the switch begins to populate the neighbor

table as TLVs arrive on ports 4 and 18. The neighbors on those ports do

not receive any advertisements from the switch because the ports do not

send any TLVs.

Configuring Ports to Send LLDP-MED Civic Location TLVs

Civic location TLVs specify the physical addresses of network devices.

Country, state, street, and building number are only a few examples of the

various types of information civic location TLVs can include.

Unlike some of the other LLDP-MED TLVs, such as the capabilities and

network policy TLVs, which have pre-set values that you cannot change, a

civic location TLV has to be configured before a port will send it. You have

to create an entry with the relevant location information, apply it to one or

more ports on the switch, and then configure the ports to send it as their

civic location TLV.

Here are the main steps to creating civic location TLVs:

1. Starting in the Global Configuration mode, use the LOCATION CIVIC-

LOCATION command to assign an ID number to the new Civic

Location entry. The command moves you to the Civic mode.

2. Use the parameters in the Civic mode to configure the settings of the

entry. An abbreviated list of the parameters is shown in Table 124. For

the complete list, refer to Table 128 on page 1263.

3. Move to the Port Interface mode of the ports to which the entry is to be

assigned. (A civic location entry can be applied to more than one port.)

4. Use the LLDP LOCATION command in the Port Interface mode to

attach the location entry to the port.

5. Use the LLDP MED-TLV-SELECT command in the Port Interface

mode to configure the ports to send the TLV in their advertisements.

This example creates a civic location entry for port 14. The address

information of the entry, which is assigned the ID number 8, is listed here:

Configuring Ports to Send LLDP-MED ELIN Location TLVs

This type of TLV specifies the location of a network device by its ELIN

(emergency location identifier number). Here are the main steps to

creating ELIN location TLVs:

1. Starting from the Global Configuration mode, use the LOCATION

ELIN-LOCATION command to create the new entry.

2. In the Port Interface mode, use the LLDP LOCATION command to add

the entry to the appropriate ports. (An ELI location entry can be applied

to more than one port.)

3. In the Port Interface mode, use the LLDP MED-TLV-SELECT

command to configure the ports to send the TLV in their

advertisements.

Here is an example of how to create an ELIN location entry and apply it to

a port. The specifications of the entry are:

ID number: 3

ELIN: 1234567890

The example is assigned to port 5.

The first series of commands creates the coordinate location entry.

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive

mode from the User Executive

mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# location elin-location 1234567890

identifier 3

Use the LOCATION ELIN-

LOCATION command to create

the entry.

awplus(config) exit Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show location elin-location identifier 3 Confirm the configuration of the

new ELIN location entry with the

SHOW LOCATION command.

Chapter 76: LLDP and LLDP-MED

1228

This series of commands adds the entry to port 5 and configures the port

to include the TLV in its advertisements:

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5 Enter the Port Interface mode for

port 5.

awplus(config-if)# lldp transmit receive Configure the port to send and

receive LLDP advertisements.

awplus(config-if)# lldp location elin-location-id

Use the LLDP LOCATION

command to add the ELIN location

entry, ID number 3, to the port.

awplus(config-if)# lldp med-tlv-select location Use the LLDP MED-TLV-SELECT

command to configure the port to

send the location entry in its

advertisements.

awplus(config-if)# end Return to the Privileged Exec

mode.

awplus# show location elin-location interface

port1.0.5

Use the SHOW LOCATION

command to confirm the

configuration.

awplus# show lldp interface port1.0.5 Use the SHOW LLDP

INTERFACE command to confirm

the port is configured to send the

location entry.

Removing LLDP TLVs from Ports

To stop ports from sending optional LLDP TLVs, use this command:

no lldp tlv-select all|

tlv

The command is located in the Port Interface mode. You can specify only

one TLV at a time in the command. This example stops ports 4 and 5 from

including the system capabilities and the management address TLVs in

their advertisements:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.4,port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# no lldp tlv-select system-capabilities

awplus(config-if)# no lldp tlv-select management-address

This example stops port 8 from transmitting all optional LLDP TLVs:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.8

awplus(config-if)# no lldp tlv-select all

Displaying or Clearing Neighbor Information

There are two commands for displaying the information the switch has

collected from the LLDP and LLDP-MED-compatible neighbors connected

to its ports. To view a summary of the information, use the SHOW LLDP

NEIGHBORS command in the User Exec mode or the Privileged Exec

mode. The command has this format:

show lldp neighbors [interface

port

]

This example displays summary information for all the neighbors on the

switch:

awplus# show lldp neighbors

This example displays summary information for the neighbors connected

to ports 2 and 3:

awplus# show lldp neighbors interface port1.0.2,port1.0.3

Here is an example of the summary information:

The fields are defined in Table 132 on page 1290.

To view all the neighbor information, use the SHOW LLDP NEIGHBORS

DETAIL command. The command has this format:

show lldp neighbors detail [interface

port

]

This example displays detailed information about all the neighbors:

awplus# show lldp neighbors detail

This example displays detailed information about the neighbor connected

to port 23:

awplus# show lldp neighbors detail interface 23

An example of the information is provided in Figure 131 on page 1286 and

Figure 132 on page 1290. The fields are defined in Table 131 on

page 1286.

When the TTL value for a neighbor’s information expires, the switch

automatically deletes the information from the table so that the table

contains only the most recent information. But if you need to, you can

delete information manually with the CLEAR LLDP TABLE command:

clear lldp table [interface

port

]

Chapter 76: LLDP and LLDP-MED

1236

This example clears the information the switch has received from all the

neighbors:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear lldp table

This example clears the information the switch has received from the

neighbor connected to port 11:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear lldp table interface port1.0.11

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1237

Displaying Port TLVs

To view the TLVs of the individual ports on the switch, use the SHOW

LLDP LOCAL-INFO INTERFACE command in the User Exec mode or the

Privileged Exec mode. This command is useful whenever you want to

confirm the TLVs on the ports, such as after you have configured the ports

or if you believe that ports are not sending the correct information.

The command has this format:

show lldp local-info [interface

port

]

To view the TLVs on all the ports, enter this command:

awplus# show lldp local-info

This example displays the TLVs currently configured on port 2:

awplus# show lldp local-info interface port1.0.2

Refer to Figure 213 on page 1283 and Figure 214 on page 1284 for an

example of the information. The fields are defined in Table 131 on

page 1286.

Chapter 76: LLDP and LLDP-MED

1238

Displaying and Clearing Statistics

The switch maintains LLDP and LLDP-MED performance statistics for the

the individual ports and the entire unit. The command to display the

statistics for the entire switch is the SHOW LLDP STATISTICS command

in the Privileged Exec mode. (The LLDP and LLDP-MED SHOW

commands, unlike the SHOW commands for the other features, are not

available in the User Exec mode.) Here is the command:

awplus# show lldp statistics

Here is an example of the information the command displays. The fields

are defined in Table 133 on page 1292.

Figure 210. SHOW LLDP STATISTICS Command

To view the same statistics for individual ports, use this command:

show lldp statistics interface

port

You can view the statistics of more than one port at a time, as

demonstrated in this example, which displays the LLDP statistics for ports

2 and 3:

awplus# show lldp statistics interface port1.0.2,port1.0.3

To clear the statistics on the ports, use this command, which, as with the

SHOW command, is found in the Privileged Exec mode:

clear lldp statistics [interface

port

]

This example clears the statistics for all the ports on the switch:

awplus# clear lldp statistics

This example clears the statistics for ports 9 and 10:

awplus# clear lldp statistics interface port1.0.9,port1.0.10

LLDP MANAGEMENT-ADDRESS

Syntax

lldp management-address

ipaddress

Parameters

ipaddress

Specifies an IP address.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to replace the default management IP address TLV of

a port. The management IP address TLV is optional. A port must be

configured to transmit it.

A port can have one of two possible default values for the management IP

address TLV. The default value depends on whether a port is a member of

the same VLAN as the management IP address, if present. Here are the

possible default values for a port:

A port that belongs to the same VLAN as the management IP

address uses the address as its TLV default value.

A port that belongs to a VLAN that does not have a management

IP address, either because no address has been assigned to the

switch or it is assigned to a different VLAN, uses the MAC address

of the switch as its default value for this TLV.

A port that belongs to more than one VLAN uses the management

IP address as its default value if the address is assigned to its

lowest numbered VLAN. Otherwise, it uses the switch’s MAC

address.

To return a port’s management IP address TLV to the default value, use

the NO form of this command.

“Adding Static ARP Entries” on page 1301

“Deleting Static and Dynamic ARP Entries” on page 1302

“Displaying the ARP Table” on page 1303

Chapter 78: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

1300

Overview

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to associate an IPv4

address with a MAC address used by network nodes. ARP gathers

information about mapping between an IPv4 address and a MAC address

and stores them in the ARP cache. The ARP cache is located in the RAM

of a node. When the node receives a packet from the Network layer, then

the node encapsulates the packet into a frame. The node looks up the

ARP cache to find out the MAC address of the destination node.

ARP on the

Switch

The software supports the following settings:

Dynamic ARP entries timeout in 300 seconds

Up to 1024 static ARP entries

Dynamic ARP

Entries

ARP entries that are gathered dynamically populate the ARP table in the

cache. These are called dynamic ARP entries. Dynamic ARP entries are

updated in two ways:

During regular operations

When a node receives frames from the media, it records the

source IP and MAC addresses.

Using ARP broadcast requests

When a node creates a frame and does not find an entry of the

destination IPv4 address in the ARP cache, ARP broadcasts a

request, including the IP address of the destination host, to all the

devices on the LAN. Only the node assigned to the IP address

replies to the sender. Based on the reply, the original node makes

an ARP entry into the ARP table in the ARP cache.

On the AT-FS970M switches, the dynamic ARP entries are time-stamped

and set to time out in 300 seconds.

Static ARP

Entries

A manually entered ARP entry is called a static ARP entry. Static ARP

entries never expire. You must remove them manually as needed.

The software can support up to 1024 static ARP entries.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1301

Adding Static ARP Entries

In most cases, the ARP table can be populated dynamically; however, the

switch allows you to add an ARP entry to the ARP cache manually

because there are cases in which you want to add static ARP entries.

One case is when a node connected to the switch does not support ARP.

The node does not reply to the ARP request that the switch broadcasts,

and an ARP entry for the node cannot be created dynamically. Another

case is when routes are fixed and not subject to change. Dynamic ARP

entries time out, and ARP re-broadcasts ARP requests even when no

change occurs in the network topology. By creating fixed routes statically,

you can reduce ARP broadcasting requests.

To add a static ARP entry, use the ARP command in the Global

Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:

arp

ipaddress macaddress port_number

You must include both the IP address and the MAC address of the

destination node. The MAC address must be entered in one of the

following formats:

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

zzzz.zzzz.zzzz

Note

The switch must have a management IP address to support static

ARP entries. The IP addresses of the ARP entries must be members

of the same subnet as the management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The following example creates an ARP entry for the IP address

192.168.0.16 and the MAC address 2b:56:c2:78:62:a3 on port 16:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# arp 192.168.0.16 00:02:c2:78:62:a3

port1.0.16

Chapter 78: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

1302

Deleting Static and Dynamic ARP Entries

The ARP cache contains two types of ARP entries: dynamic and static.

These types of ARP entries are deleted using different commands shown

in Table 136.

The CLEAR ARP-CACHE command deletes all dynamic ARP entries at

once.

The following example deletes all of the dynamic ARP entries in the ARP

cache:

awplus> enable

awplus# clear arp-cache

You can delete one static ARP entry with the NO ARP (IP ADDRESS)

command. The following example deletes the static ARP entry for the IP

address 192.168.1.12:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no arp 192.168.1.12

Overview

The RMON (Remote MONitoring) MIB is used with SNMP applications to

monitor the operations of network devices. The switch supports the four

RMON MIB groups listed here:

Statistic group. This group is used to view port statistics remotely

with SNMP programs. For instructions, refer to “RMON Port

Statistics” on page 1315.

History group. This group is used to collect histories of port

statistics to identify traffic trends or patterns. For instructions, refer

to “RMON Histories” on page 1317.

Alarm group. This group is used to create alarms that trigger event

log messages or SNMP traps when statistics thresholds are

exceeded. For instructions, refer to “RMON Alarms” on page 1320.

Event group. This group is used with alarms to define the actions

of the switch when packet statistic thresholds are crossed. For

instructions, refer to “RMON Alarms” on page 1320.

For instructions on how to configure SNMP on the switch, refer to Chapter

71, “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c” on page 1121 or Chapter 72, “SNMPv1 and

SNMPv2c Commands” on page 1133.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1315

RMON Port Statistics

To view port statistics using an SNMP program and the RMON section in

the MIB, you must configure the switch to reserve areas of memory in

which to store the statistics for remote viewing with your SNMP program.

These areas of memory are referred to as statistics groups. The switch

can have up to eight statistics groups, and each group can store the

statistics of a single port. Thus, you can remotely monitor up to eight ports

at a time with an SNMP program. (To view the statistics of all the ports,

use “SHOW PLATFORM TABLE PORT COUNTERS” on page 237.)

The following sections explain the commands for managing statistics

groups:

“Adding Statistics Groups” next

“Viewing Statistics Groups” on page 1316

“Deleting Statistics Groups” on page 1316

Adding Statistics

Groups

The command to create statistics groups is the RMON COLLECTION

STATS command in the Port Interface mode. Here is the format of the

command:

rmon collection stats

stats_id

[owner

owner

]

The STATS_ID parameter is the ID number of the new group. The range is

1 to 65535. The groups will be easier to identify if their ID numbers are the

same as the port numbers. For instance, a group assigned to port 16

should be assigned the ID number 16. You will find this particularly useful

when you view the statistics with your SNMP program, because they are

identified by the statistics group ID numbers and not by the port numbers.

If the two numbers are different, you might have difficulty determining

which port statistics you are viewing.

The OWNER parameter, used to identify the person who created an entry,

is primarily intended for switches that are managed by more than one

person, and is optional.

This example of the command assigns RMON statistics groups to ports 5,

16 and 20. The groups are assigned ID numbers that match the port

numbers:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.5

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection stats 5

awplus(config-if)# exit

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.16

Chapter 80: RMON

1316

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection stats 16

awplus(config-if)# exit

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.20

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection stats 20

You can now use your SNMP program and the RMON section of the MIB

tree to view the RMON statistics of the ports. This assumes, of course,

that SNMP is activated and configured on the switch.

Viewing Statistics

Groups

To confirm the configuration, use the SHOW RMON STATISTICS

command in the Privilege Exec mode:

awplus# show rmon statistics

Here is an example of the information.

The fields are described in Table 145 on page 1352.

Deleting Statistics

Groups

To delete RMON statistics groups from the ports on the switch, use the

NO RMON COLLECTION STATS command in the Port Interface mode.

This example of the command removes the group from port 5:

awplus> enable

RMON Histories

RMON histories are snapshots of port statistics. They are taken by the

switch at predefined intervals and can be used to identify trends or

patterns in the numbers or types of ingress packets on the ports on the

switch. The snapshots can be viewed with your SNMP program, in the

history group of the RMON portion of the MIB tree. (Port histories cannot

be viewed through the command line interface.)

The switch stores the snapshots in areas of memory called history groups.

There can be up to eight history groups on the switch and each group is

capable of storing the snapshots of one port. Consequently, the switch can

maintain the histories of up to eight ports at a time.

A history group is further divided into what are called buckets. Each bucket

stores one snapshot of statistics of a port. A group can have from 1 to 50

buckets. The more buckets in a group, the more snapshots it can store.

The following sections explain how to manage RMON histories:

“Adding History Groups” next

“Displaying History Groups” on page 1318

“Deleting History Groups” on page 1319

Adding History

Groups

The command for creating history groups is the RMON COLLECTION

HISTORY command. This command is in the Port Interface mode

because history groups are applied on a per-port basis. Here is the format

of the command:

rmon collection history

history_id

[buckets

buckets

]

[interval

interval

]

[owner

owner

]

You can apply a history group to only one port.

The HISTORY_ID number is a history group’s ID number. The range is 1

to 65535. As with statistics groups, which are explained earlier in this

chapter, history groups are easier to identify when you view them with your

SNMP program if their ID numbers are the same as the port numbers. This

is because the SNMP program identifies the histories by the group

numbers and not by the port numbers.

The BUCKETS variable defines the number of snapshots the switch is to

store of the statistics of a port. Each bucket can store one snapshot of

RMON statistics. Different ports can have different numbers of buckets.

The range is 1 to 50 buckets.

The INTERVAL parameter, which is entered in seconds, specifies how

frequently the switch is to take snapshots of the statistics. The range is 1

to 3600 seconds (1 hour). For example, if you want the switch to take one

Chapter 80: RMON

1318

snapshot every minute for five minutes on a port, you specify five buckets

(one bucket for each minute) and an interval of sixty seconds.

After you enter the command, the switch checks its memory to determine

whether it has sufficient memory resources to create the history group. If

its memory resources are insufficient, it reduces the number of buckets to

an amount that can be accommodated by the resources. If there are no

available resources, the switch cancels the history group.

The switch takes the first snapshot at the end of the first interval. A history

group that has an interval of 1800 seconds, for example, does not take its

first snapshot for 30 minutes. Once all the buckets of a group are full, the

switch continues storing snapshots by deleting the oldest snapshots as it

adds new snapshots. For instance, for a history group of three buckets,

the switch deletes the first bucket when it adds the fourth bucket.

To stop a history from gathering any more statistics, you must delete it.

This example configures the switch to take a snapshot of the statistics of

port 23 once every hour for fifteen hours:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.23

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection history 23 buckets 15

interval

3600

This example of the command configures the switch to take a snapshot of

the statistics of port 7 once every thirty minutes for four hours. Eight

buckets are required because there are eight thirty minute periods in four

hours:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.7

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection history 7 buckets 8

interval

1800

Displaying

History Groups

You should always check the configuration of a new history entry, just to

be sure the switch had adequate memory resources. The command for

displaying the entries is the SHOW RMON HISTORY command in the

Privileged Exec mode:

awplus# show rmon history

RMON Alarms

RMON alarms are used to generate alert messages when packet activity

on designated ports rises above or falls below specified threshold values.

The alert messages can take the form of messages that are entered in the

event log on the switch or traps that are sent to SNMP programs.

The switch supports up to eight alarms. Each RMON alarm can monitor

one port and one RMON statistic.

RMON alarms consist of two thresholds. There is a rising threshold and a

falling threshold. The alarm is triggered if the value of the monitored

RMON statistic of the designated port exceeds the rising threshold. The

response of the switch is to enter a message in the event log, send an

SNMP trap, or both. The alarm is reset if the value of the monitored

statistic drops below the falling threshold.

The frequency with which the switch tests the thresholds in an alarm

against the actual RMON statistic is controlled by the time interval, a

setting you can adjust for each alarm.

Here are the three components that comprise RMON alarms:

RMON statistics group: A port must have an RMON statistics

group if it is to have an alarm. When you create an alarm, you

specify the port to which it is to be assigned not by the port

number, but rather by the ID number of the port’s statistics group.

(As explained in “RMON Port Statistics” on page 1315, statistics

groups are also used to remotely view port statistics in the RMON

portion of the MIB tree.)

RMON event: An event specifies the action of the switch when the

ingress packet activity on a port crosses a statistic threshold

defined in an alarm. The choices are to log a message in the event

log of the switch, send an SNMP trap to an SNMP workstation, or

both. You can create up to eight events. Since there are only three

possible actions, and since events can be used with more than one

alarm, you probably will not create more than three events.

Alarm: The last component is the alarm itself. It defines the port

statistic to be monitored and the rising and falling thresholds that

trigger the switch to perform an event. The thresholds of an alarm

can have the same event or different events. The switch supports

up to eight alarms.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

elements of an alarm:

“Creating an Alarm - Example 1” on page 1323

“Creating an Alarm - Example 2” on page 1325

Creating RMON

Statistics Groups

The port of an alarm must have an RMON statistics group. Statistics

groups are created with the RMON COLLECTION STATS command,

described in “RMON Port Statistics” on page 1315. Refer there for

instructions on how to create the groups.

Creating RMON

Events

The event of an alarm defines the action of the switch when a threshold is

crossed. There are three commands for creating RMON events, one

command for each action. Here is the command that creates events that

enter messages in the event log when statistic thresholds are crossed:

rmon event

event_id

log description

description

[owner

owner

]

Here is the command to create events that send SNMP traps:

rmon event

event_id

trap

community_string

[description

description

] [owner

owner

]

This command creates events that both send SNMP traps and enter

messages in the event log:

rmon event

event_id

log trap

community_string

[description

description

] [owner

owner

]

The EVENT_ID parameter is a value from 1 to 65535 that uniquely

identifies the event.

The COMMUNITY_STRING parameter in the two commands that send

SNMP traps identifies an SNMP community string on the switch. The

designated community string should have host IP addresses of SNMP

workstations that are to receive traps from the alarm. This parameter is

case sensitive, and the community string must already exist on the switch.

You can specify only one community string.

Using the DESCRIPTION parameter to describe the event makes the

event easier to identify. The description can be up to 20 alphanumeric

characters. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. This

parameter is optional on the two commands that create events that send

SNMP traps, but is required in the command that creates an event that

only enters a log message.

Chapter 80: RMON

1322

The owner parameter is useful in situations where more than one person

is managing the switch. You can use it to identify who created the event.

This parameter is optional in all three commands.

Creating RMON

Alarms

After you have added a statistics group to a port and created the event,

you are ready to create the alarm with the RMON ALARM command,

located in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the

command:

rmon alarm

alarm_id oid.stats_id

interval

delta|absolute rising-threshold

rising-threshold

event

rising_event_id

falling-threshold

event

falling_event_id

[owner

owner

]

The ALARM_ID parameter is a value from 1 to 65535 that uniquely

identifies the alarm. (Remember, the switch is limited to eight alarms at

one time.)

The OID.STATS_ID parameter has two parts. The first part specifies the

OID of the RMON statistic the alarm is to monitor. You have to specify the

statistic by its OID. For example, the OID for etherStatsOctets is

1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.4.

Table 139 is a partial list of the MIB object names and numbers for use in

the OID portion of the variable. For the complete list, refer to Table 141 on

page 1336.

The second part of the OID.STATS_ID variable is the ID number of the

statistics group on the port the alarm is to monitor. The port is specified

indirectly in the command, by the ID number of the statistics group. For

example, if the alarm is to monitor port 4, use the STATS_ID variable to

enter the ID number of the statistics group on port 4. If you follow the

advice given earlier in this chapter, of always numbering statistics groups

the same as the port numbers, the port numbers and the ID numbers of

the statistics group should always be the same, thus lessening the chance

of an alarm being assigned to the wrong port.

The INTERVAL parameter specifies how frequently the switch is to poll

the statistics group to determine whether a threshold has been crossed.

Table 139. Abbreviated List of MIB Object Names and OID Numbers

MIB Name OID Number

etherStatsDropEvents 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.3.stats_id

1323

The range is 1 to 65535 seconds.

The DELTA and ABSOLUTE parameters define the type of change that

has to occur for the monitored statistic to trigger the alarm. The DELTA

setting compares a threshold against the difference between the current

and previous values of the statistic, while the ABSOLUTE setting

compares a threshold against the current value of the statistic.

The raising and falling thresholds are the values which, when crossed,

cause the switch to perform the specified events. The range for both

thresholds is 1 to 65535.

The OWNER parameter is used to indicate who created the alarm. This

parameter is optional.

Creating an

Alarm - Example

This example creates an alarm that monitors the change per minute in the

number of all ingress packets for port 22. The RMON statistic is

etherStatsPkts, and its OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.5. The alarm is

assigned the ID number 1 and triggers event 3, which enters a message in

the event log if the ingress traffic on the port exceeds 20000 packets per

minute or falls below 1000 packets.

The first sequence of steps adds an RMON statistics group to port 22. The

alarm will not work unless the switch is gathering statistics from the port to

use with RMON. (You can skip this phase if the port already has a

statistics group.)

1325

Here are the steps to creating the alarm:

Creating an

Alarm - Example

This example creates an alarm that monitors the ingress broadcast traffic

on port 20. The RMON statistic is etherStatsBroadcastPkts, and its OID is

1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.6. The alarm triggers an event if the traffic exceeds

10,000 packets or falls below 1,000 packets per minute. Both thresholds

have the same event, which logs a message in the event log and sends an

SNMP trap when either threshold is crossed.

Phase 1: Creating the SNMP Community String and Activating SNMP

This example requires a community string because the event sends traps.

The community string will be called “Station12ap” and will have the host ID

addresses 149.211.243.12 and 149.211.243.75. Here are the steps to

create the community string, assign it the IP addresses of the host nodes

and activate SNMP on the switch.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration

mode.

awplus(config)# rmon alarm 1

Phase 2: Adding the RMON Statistics Group to the Port

The steps here add a statistics group to port 20 so that the port statistics

are collected by the switch for use with RMON.

awplus(config)# snmp-server host 149.211.243.12

traps version 2c Station12ap

awplus(config)# snmp-server host 149.211.243.75

Description

Use this command to create RMON alarms. RMON alarms monitor the

values of SNMP objects and trigger events when the values of the

monitored objects cross specified thresholds. Here are the guidelines to

this command:

The switch supports up to eight alarms.

An alarm can designate just one RMON statistic.

An alarm can belong to just one port at a time.

The port of an alarm must have an RMON statistics group. You

must create the group before the alarm. For instructions, refer to

“Adding Statistics Groups” on page 1315 or “RMON COLLECTION

STATS” on page 1340.

The port of an alarm is specified indirectly in the command. You

use the STATS_ID parameter to specify the ID number of the

RMON statistics group you added to the port.

The command must include both rising and falling thresholds.

The rising and falling thresholds can have different events or the

same event. The events must already exist.

The OID parameter in the command specifies the OID of the MIB statistic

the alarm is to monitor. The MIB object must be specified by its OID

number. An alarm can have just one MIB object. Table 141 lists the

possible object names and OID numbers. (The STATS_ID variable is the

ID number of a statistics group through which the alarm monitors a port.)

owner

Specifies an owner of up to 20 alphanumeric characters for the

event. Spaces and special characters are not allowed.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to add RMON history groups to the ports on the switch.

History groups enable the switch to capture snapshots of the RMON

statistics of the ports over time. You can view the snapshots with an

SNMP program to look for trends or patterns in the numbers or types of

ingress packets on the ports.

A history group can be applied to just one port, and the switch can support

up to eight entries at a time. Thus, you can collect statistics histories on up

to eight ports at a time.

The BUCKETS variable defines the number of snapshots the switch is to

take of the RMON statistics of a port. Different ports can have different

numbers of buckets. The INTERVAL parameter, which is entered in

seconds, specifies how frequently the switch is to take the snapshots of

the statistics. For example, if you want the switch to take one snapshot

every minute for five minutes on a port, you would specify five buckets

(one bucket for each minute) and an interval of sixty seconds.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1339

RMON statistics histories are only viewable from an SNMP application

program. There are no commands in the command line interface for

viewing histories.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RMON HISTORY” on page 1350

Examples

This example creates a history group that takes a snapshot of the RMON

statistics on port 14 every fifteen minutes (900 seconds) for two hours. The

group requires eight buckets because there are eight fifteen-minute

intervals in two hours. The group is assigned the ID number 1:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.14

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection history 1 buckets 8

interval 900

This example creates a history group that takes a snapshot of the RMON

statistics on port 7 every hour (3600 seconds) for twelve hours. The group,

which is assigned the ID number 5, requires 12 buckets, one for each

hour:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port1.0.7

awplus(config-if)# rmon collection history 5 buckets 12

Chapter 82: Local Manager Accounts

1356

Overview

Each AT-FS970M Series switch is pre-configured at the factory with one

default manager account. The factory-default values for the user name

and password are “manager” and “friend.” If you are the only administrator

of the switch, you may not need more than one manager account. But if

you plan for the switch to be managed by more than one administrator,

you may want to create additional accounts so that each administrator has

a separate account.

There are two ways to add more manager accounts. One method adds

local accounts. A local account is so called because it is the switch that

authenticates the user name and password when a manager logs in. The

default manager account is a local account. This chapter explains how to

create more local accounts.

The switch also supports remote manager accounts. These are accounts

that are authenticated by a RADIUS or TACACS+ server on your network.

For information, refer to Chapter 94, “RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients” on

page 1457.

Privilege Levels Manager accounts have privilege levels that determine where in the

command mode structure managers can go and, consequently, which

commands they can access. The privilege levels are 1 and 15.

Manager accounts with a privilege level of 15 have access to the entire

command mode structure and, thus, to all of the commands. Managers

should be assigned accounts with this level if they need to configure the

parameter settings of the switch. The default manager account has this

privilege level.

Manager accounts with a privilege level of 1 are restricted to the User

Exec mode, in which many of the SHOW commands are stored. Accounts

with this level are appropriate for managers who only need to monitor the

switch.

Command Mode

Restriction

Command mode restriction allows you to enhance the security of the

manager accounts by requiring that managers who have the privilege level

15 enter a special password to move from the User Exec mode to the

Privileged Exec mode. Managers who do not know the special password

are restricted to the User Exec mode, just as if their accounts had the

privilege level 1.

When command mode restriction is active on the switch, managers are

prompted for the special password when they enter the ENABLE

command to move from the User Exec mode to the Privilege Exec mode.

The prompt is shown in Figure 229 on page 1357.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1357

Figure 229. Password Prompt for Command Mode Restriction

If the manager enters the correct password, the Privileged Exec mode

prompt is displayed. If the wrong password or no password is entered, the

manager remains in the User Exec mode, and the switch displays the error

message shown in Figure 230.

Figure 230. Command Mode Restriction Error Message

The command for activating command mode restriction and defining the

special password is the ENABLE PASSWORD command, in the Global

Configuration mode. For instructions on how to use the command, refer to

“Activating Command Mode Restriction and Creating the Special

Password” on page 1362.

Command mode restriction does not apply to manager accounts with the

privilege level 1. Manager accounts with that privilege level are always

restricted to the User Exec mode.

Password

Encryption

When you create a new manager account, you have to assign it a

password. You also have to create a new password if you activate

command mode restrictions. The commands for creating manager

accounts and activating command mode restriction give you the choice of

entering new passwords in either plaintext or encrypted form. Passwords

that are entered in plaintext are stored by the switch in either plaintext or

encrypted form in the running configuration and the active boot

configuration file, depending on the password encryption setting. If

password encryption is enabled (the default setting), plaintext passwords

are stored in encrypted form. If password encryption is disabled, plaintext

passwords are stored in plaintext.

Passwords entered in encrypted form when you create manager accounts,

or activate command mode restriction, remain encrypted in the running

configuration and the active boot configuration file, regardless of the

setting of password encryption.

Password encryption is activated with the SERVICE PASSWORD-

ENCRYPTION command and deactivated with the NO SERVICE

PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION command, both of which are found in the

Global Configuration mode. When you activate password encryption with

the SERVICE PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION command, the switch

searches the running configuration for plaintext passwords and encrypts

them. It also automatically encrypts the plaintext passwords of new

manager accounts.

When you deactivate password encryption with the NO SERVICE

PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION command, the switch searches the running

configuration and decrypts passwords that were initially created in

plaintext.

Decrypting passwords can pose a security risk because managers can

issue the NO SERVICE PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION command to see the

passwords of the other accounts. To permanently encrypt passwords so

that they remain in that form, even if someone issues the command, enter

them in their encrypted form when you create the manager accounts or

activate command mode restriction. This is illustrated in the examples in

the next section.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

Creating Local Manager Accounts

The command for creating local manager accounts is the USERNAME

command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command’s

format:

username

name

privilege

level

password [8]

password

The NAME parameter specifies the log-on name for the new account. The

name is case-sensitive and can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters

including special characters. Spaces are not allowed.

The LEVEL parameter specifies the privilege level of the account. The

level can be either 1 or 15. Manager accounts with the privileged level 15

have access to all of the command modes, while manager accounts with

the privilege level 1 are restricted to the User Exec mode.

The PASSWORD parameter specifies the password for the new manager

account. You can enter the password in plaintext or encrypted. A plaintext

password is case-sensitive and can have up to 16 alphanumeric

characters including punctuation and printable special characters. Spaces

are not permitted. To enter an encrypted password, precede it with the

number ‘8’.

This example of the command creates an account for the user, john. The

privilege level is 15 to give the manager access to the entire command

mode structure. The password is “pmat762:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# username john privilege 15 password pmat762

This example creates a manager account for the user, allen. The privilege

level is 1 to restrict the manager to the User Exec mode. The password for

the account is “laf238pl:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# username allen privilege 1 password laf238pl

This example creates an account for the user, sjones. The privilege level is

1 to restrict the manager to the User Exec mode. The password is

“bluesky,” entered in its encrypted form.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# username sjones privilege 1 password 8

Chapter 82: Local Manager Accounts

1360

Passwords entered in encrypted form remain encrypted in the running

configuration even if you disable password encryption by issuing the NO

SERVICE PASSWORD-ENCRYPTION command.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1361

Deleting Local Manager Accounts

To delete local manager accounts from the switch, use the NO

USERNAME command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the

format of the command:

no username

name

The NAME parameter specifies the name of the manager account you

want to delete from the switch. The name is case sensitive. You can delete

just one manager account at a time with this command.

Once an account is deleted, you cannot use it to manage the switch. If you

delete the account with which you logged on to the switch, your current

management session is not interrupted. But you will not be able to use that

account again to log in and configure the unit.

This example of the command deletes the manager account bjspring:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no username bjspring

Note

You can delete the default “manager” account from the switch.

Caution

Do not delete all of the local manager accounts that have the

privilege level 15 if the switch does not have any remote RADIUS or

TACACS+ accounts. Otherwise, you will not be able to log in again

as manager and will have to contact Allied Telesis for assistance.

Chapter 82: Local Manager Accounts

1362

Activating Command Mode Restriction and Creating the Special

Password

Command mode restriction is a security feature. It requires that managers

who have the privilege level 1 enter a special password to manage the

switch. The switch prompts for the special password when the ENABLE

command is used to move to the Privileged Exec mode from the User

Exec mode. The prompt is shown in Figure 229 on page 1357. Managers

who do not know the password or have the privilege level 1 are restricted

to the User Exec mode.

Note

Managers with a privilege level of 15 are only required to enter the

ENABLE command to access the Privileged Exec mode and are not

required to enter this password.

The command for activating command mode restriction and creating or

changing the password is the ENABLE PASSWORD command in the

Global Configuration mode. The switch can have only one special

password. Here is the format of the command:

enable password [8]

password

The PASSWORD parameter specifies the special password. You can

enter the password in plaintext or encrypted. A plaintext password is case-

sensitive and can have up to 16 alphanumeric characters including special

characters. Spaces are not allowed. An encrypted password must be

preceded by the number “8” and a space.

This example activates command mode restriction and creates the special

password “Day89lane:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# enable password Day89lane

This example activates command mode restriction and specifies the

password as “ship247,” in encrypted form:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# enable password 8 85076026566ed1dd84a709c0f

dd1fa9f

To confirm the configuration, display the running configuration with

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1363

Deactivating Command Mode Restriction and Deleting the Special

Password

The command for deactivating command mode restriction and deleting the

special password is the NO ENABLE PASSWORD command in the Global

Configuration mode. When command mode restriction is deactivated,

manager accounts with a privilege level of 15 do not have to enter the

special password when they enter the ENABLE command to move from

the User Exec mode to the Privilege Exec mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no enable password

Chapter 82: Local Manager Accounts

1364

Activating or Deactivating Password Encryption

Password encryption controls the manner in which the switch stores the

plaintext passwords of manager accounts and command mode restriction

in the running configuration. When password encryption is enabled (the

default setting), plaintext passwords are stored in encrypted form. When

password encryption is disabled, plaintext passwords are stored in

plaintext. For more information, refer to “Password Encryption” on

page 1357

To activate password encryption, issue the SERVICE PASSWORD-

ENCRYPTION command in the Global Configuration mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service password-encryption

When password encryption is activated, the switch searches the running

configuration for plaintext passwords and encrypts them. It also

automatically encrypts the plaintext passwords of new manager accounts.

To disable password encryption, use the NO SERVICE PASSWORD-

ENCRYPTION command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service password-encryption

The switch searches the running configuration and decrypts passwords

that were initially created in plaintext.

To keep passwords permanently encrypted, even when password

encryption is disabled, create them in encrypted form when you use the

USERNAME command, as explained in “Creating Local Manager

Accounts” on page 1359. The switch does not decrypt passwords created

in their encrypted form, even when password encryption is disabled.

Chapter 84: Telnet Server

1378

Overview

The switch comes with a Telnet server so that you can remotely manage

the device from Telnet clients on your network. Remote Telnet

management gives you access to the same AlliedWare Plus commands

and management functions as local management sessions, which are

conducted through the Console port.

The guidelines to using the Telnet server for remote management are

listed here.

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The management workstations with the Telnet clients must be

members of the same subnet as the management IP address of

the switch or have access to it through routers or other Layer 3

devices.

If the Telnet clients are not members of the same subnet as the

switch’s management IP address, the switch must have a default

gateway. This is the IP address of an interface on a router or other

Layer 3 routing device that is the first hop to reaching the subnets

of the Telnet clients. For background information, refer to Chapter

13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The Telnet server uses protocol port 23. This parameter cannot be

changed.

Telnet management sessions are not secure. The packets are sent

in readable text. For secure remote management using the

command line interface, use the Secure Shell protocol, described

Chapter 88, “Secure Shell (SSH) Server” on page 1395.

For instructions on how to start a remote Telnet management session,

refer to “Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session” on

page 76.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1379

Enabling the Telnet Server

To enable the server, go to the Global Configuration mode and issue the

SERVICE TELNET command. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service telnet

Once the server is started, you can conduct remote management sessions

over your network from Telnet clients, provided that the switch has a

management IP address. For instructions on how to start a remote Telnet

management session, refer to “Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH

Management Session” on page 76.

Disabling the Telnet Server

To disable the Telnet server, use the NO SERVICE TELNET command in

the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service telnet

Note

If you disable the server from a remote Telnet management session,

your session ends. To resume managing the unit, establish a local

management session or remote web browser session. If the

maximum number of manager sessions on the switch is set to one,

you must wait for the console timer on the switch to expire before

starting a new manager session. The default setting for the console

timer is 10 minutes.

Chapter 86: Telnet Client

1388

Overview

The switch has a Telnet client. You may use the client to remotely manage

other network devices from the switch. Here are the guidelines to using

the client:

The client has the two commands: TELNET, which is used to

manage network devices that have IPv4 addresses, and TELNET

IPV6, for devices that have IPv6 addresses.

You may use the Telnet client from local or Telnet management

sessions of the switch, but not from remote SSH management

sessions.

The switch must have an IP address that is of the same type, IPv4

or IPv6, as the addresses on the remote devices. For example, the

switch must have an IPv6 address for you to remotely manage

devices that have IPv6 addresses. For instructions, refer to

Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

The other network devices that you intend to manage with the

Telnet client must be members of the same subnet as the IP

address of the switch or have access to it through routers or other

Layer 3 devices.

If the other devices are not members of the same subnet as the

switch’s IP address, the switch must have a default gateway. This

is the IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer 3

routing device that is the first hop to reaching the subnets of the

devices. For background information, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4

and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

A remote device must be configured for Telnet management

before you can manage it with the Telnet client on the switch. It

must have either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, and its Telnet server

must be active.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1389

Starting a Remote Management Session with the Telnet Client

Here are the steps to using the Telnet client on the switch to manage other

devices on your network:

1. Start a local or Telnet management session on the switch.

Note

The Telnet client is not supported from remote SSH management

sessions.

2. If the remote device that you want to manage through the switch has

an IPv4 address, move to the Privileged Exec mode and enter the

TELNET command, which has this format:

telnet

ipv4_address

[

port

]

The IPV4_ADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the device to be

managed. The optional PORT parameter is the protocol port number of

the Telnet client. The default is 23. For example, if the IPv4 address of

the remote device is 149.174.154.12, you enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# telnet 149.174.154.12

You should now see the login prompts of the remote device.

3. If the remote device to be managed has an IPv6 address, move to the

Privileged Exec mode and enter the TELNET IPV6 command, which

has this format:

telnet ipv6

ipv6_address

[

port

]

The IPV6_ADDRESS parameter is the IP address of the device to be

managed. For example, if the remote device had the IPv6 address

45ac:be45:78::c45:8156, you enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# telnet ipv6 45ac:be45:78::c45:8156

You should now see the login prompts of the remote device.

4. Enter the appropriate user name and password for the remote device.

5. When you finish managing the remote device, enter the appropriate

logout command to return to the management session on the

AT-FS970M Switch.

Chapter 88: Secure Shell (SSH) Server

1396

Overview

The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is an alternative to the Telnet protocol for

remote management of the switch from workstations on your network. The

difference between the two management methods is that SSH

management is more secure because the packets the switch and your

management workstation exchange during management sessions are

encrypted. In contrast, Telnet management sessions are unsecured and

are vulnerable to snooping because the packets are sent in readable text.

The SSH server on the switch supports SSH protocol versions 1.3, 1.5,

and 2.0. Client software is available on the Internet.

Algorithms The SSH server on the switch encrypts the packets using an encryption

key. The key is created with an algorithm. You can choose from three

available algorithms to create the key for SSH:

RSA

RSA1

DSA

The implementation of the SSH protocol on the switch is compliant with

the SSH protocol versions 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0.

In addition, the following SSH options and features are supported:

Inbound SSH connections (server mode) is supported.

The following security algorithms are supported:

– 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES),

192-bit AES, and 256-bit AES

– Arcfour (RC4) security algorithm is supported.

– Triple-DES (3DES) encryption for SSH sessions

is supported.

RSA public keys with lengths of 768 to 2048 bits are supported.

Keys are stored in a format compatible with other Secure Shell

implementations.

Compression of SSH traffic.

The switch uses the well-known port 22 as the SSH default port.

The following SSH options and features are not supported:

IDEA or Blowfish encryption

Non-encrypted Secure Shell sessions

Tunnelling of TCP/IP traffic

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to using SSH to manage the switch:

The switch must have a management IP address. For background

information, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management

Addresses” on page 293.

The management workstations with the SSH clients must be

members of the same subnet as the management IP address of

the switch or have access to it through routers or other Layer 3

devices.

If the SSH clients are not members of the same subnet as the

switch’s management IP address, the switch must have a default

gateway. This is the IP address of an interface on a router or other

Layer 3 routing device that is the first hop to reaching the subnets

of the Telnet clients. For background information, refer to Chapter

13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 293.

Chapter 88: Secure Shell (SSH) Server

1398

The SSH server uses protocol port 22. This parameter cannot be

changed.

If you are using the enhanced stacking feature, you activate and

configure SSH server on the master switch, not on the member

switches.

Note

If your switch is in a network that is protected by a firewall, you may

need to configure the firewall to permit SSH connections.

For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer to

“Starting a Remote Telnet or SSH Management Session” on page 76.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1399

SSH and Enhanced Stacking

The switch allows for encrypted SSH management sessions between a

management station and the master switch of an enhanced stack, but not

with member switches, as explained in this section.

When you remotely manage a member switch, all management

communications are conducted through the master switch using the

enhanced stacking feature. Management packets from your workstation

are first directed to the master switch before being forwarded to the

member switch. The reverse is true as well. Management packets from a

member switch first pass through the master switch before reaching your

management station.

Enhanced stacking uses a proprietary protocol different from Telnet and

SSH protocols. Consequently, there is no encryption between a master

switch and a member switch. The result is that SSH encryption only occurs

between your workstation and the master switch, not between your

workstation and a member switch.

This is illustrated in Figure 234. The figure shows an SSH management

station that is managing a member switch of an enhanced stack. The

packets exchanged between the member switch and the master switch

are transmitted in plaintext and those exchanged between the master

switch and the SSH management station are encrypted.

Figure 234. SSH Remote Management of a Member Switch

Chapter 88: Secure Shell (SSH) Server

1400

Because enhanced stacking does not allow for SSH encrypted

management sessions between a management station and a member

switch, you configure SSH only on the master switch of a stack. Activating

SSH on a member switch has no effect.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1401

Creating the Encryption Key Pair

The first step to using the SSH server on the switch for remote

management is to create the encryption key. Here is the base command:

crypto key generate hostkey dsa|rsa|rsa1 [

value

]

The VALUE parameter only applies to an RSA key.

To create a DSA key, enter these commands:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey dsa

To create an RSA1 key, enter these commands:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey rsa1

An RSA key is different from the other keys because you can specify a

length in bits by using the VALUE parameter in the command. The other

keys have a fixed key length of 1024 bits. The range is 768 to 2048 bits.

Entering the length is optional. This example creates an RSA key with a

length of 768 bits:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# crypto key generate hostkey rsa 768

DSA and RSA1 keys take less than a minute to create. An RSA key that

has the maximum key length of 2048 bits may take as much as four

minutes for the switch to create.

Note

Creating a key is a very CPU intensive process for the switch. The

switch does not stop forwarding network packets, but it may delay

handling some network events, such as spanning tree BPDU

packets. To avoid unexpected or unwanted switch behavior, create

a key during periods of low network activity.

Chapter 88: Secure Shell (SSH) Server

1402

Enabling the SSH Server

The switch does not allow you to enable the SSH server and begin remote

management until you have created the encryption key. So if you have not

done that yet, perform the instructions in the previous procedure.

The command that activates the server is the SERVICE SSH command in

the Global Configuration mode. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service ssh

After you enter the command, the switch searches its database for an

encryption key. If it finds a key, it immediately enables the server.

Otherwise, it does not activate the server.

With the server activated, you can begin to manage the switch remotely

from SSH clients on your network.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1403

Disabling the SSH Server

If you decide that you want to disable the server because you do not want

to remotely manage the switch with SSH, enter the following commands:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service ssh

Note

If you disable the server during a remote SSH management session,

your session ends. To resume managing the unit with the same

management account, you must wait for the console timer on the

switch to expire and then establish a local management session or

remote Telnet or web browser session.

Chapter 88: Secure Shell (SSH) Server

1404

Deleting Encryption Keys

To delete encryption keys from the switch, use the CRYPTO KEY

DESTROY HOSTKEY command in the Global Configuration mode. Here

is the format of the command:

crypto key destroy hostkey dsa|rsa|rsa1

Note

You should disable the SSH server before deleting the encryption

key. The operations of the server will be impaired if you delete the

active key when the server is enabled.

Note

If you disable the server during a remote SSH management session,

your session ends. To resume managing the unit with the manager

account, you must wait for the console timer on the switch to expire

and then establish a local management session or remote Telnet or

web browser session.

This example deletes the DSA key:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service ssh

awplus(config)# crypto key destroy hostkey dsa

This example deletes the RSA key:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service ssh

“Disabling the Web Browser Server” on page 1421

“Displaying the Web Browser Server” on page 1422

Chapter 90: Non-secure HTTP Web Browser Server

1418

Overview

The switch has a web browser server. The server is used to remotely

manage the unit over the network with web browser applications. The

server can operate in either plain text HTTP mode or encrypted HTTPS

mode. This chapter explains how to activate the server for the HTTP

mode.

Caution

Management sessions of the switch conducted in the HTTP mode

are non-secure because the packets exchanged by your web

browser application and the server on the switch are sent in clear

text, leaving them vulnerable to snooping. If an individual captures

the management packet that contains your user name and

password, he or she could use that information to access the switch

and make unauthorized changes to its configuration settings.

Here are the guidelines to using the web browser server in the non-secure

HTTP mode:

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The management workstations from which you will configure the

switch with web browser applications must be members of the

same network as the management IP address of the switch, or

they must have access to it through routers or other Layer 3

devices.

The web browser server cannot operate in both HTTP mode and

HTTPS mode at the same time.

The switch supports the HTTP v1.0 and v1.1 protocols.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1419

Enabling the Web Browser Server

The command to activate the web browser server for non-secure HTTP

operation is the SERVICE HTTP command in the Global Configuration

mode. The command, which does not have any parameters, is shown

here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service http

Here are the guidelines to using the command:

The switch should already have a management IP address. For

instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management

Addresses” on page 293.

If the web browser server is already configured for secure HTTPS, and

you are changing it back to non-secure HTTP operation, you must first

deactivate the HTTPS server with the NO SERVICE HTTPS

command, also in the Global Configuration mode.

Now that the server is activated for HTTP operation, you can begin to

manage the switch remotely using a web browser application from a

workstation on your network. Enter the IP address of the switch in the URL

field of the application and, when prompted by the switch, enter your login

user name and password.

Chapter 90: Non-secure HTTP Web Browser Server

1420

Setting the Protocol Port Number

The default setting of port 80 for the protocol port of the HTTP web server

can be adjusted with the IP HTTP PORT command in the Global

Configuration mode. This example of the command changes the protocol

port to 100:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# ip http port 100

The range of the port number is 0 to 65535.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1421

Disabling the Web Browser Server

The command to disable the HTTP server is the NO SERVICE HTTP

command in the Global Configuration mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service http

No further web browser management sessions are permitted by the switch

after the server is disabled. Any web browser sessions that are in progress

when the server is disabled are interrupted and are not allowed to

continue.

Chapter 90: Non-secure HTTP Web Browser Server

1422

Displaying the Web Browser Server

To display whether the HTTP web server is enabled or disabled on the

switch, issue the SHOW IP HTTP command in the Privileged Exec mode.

The command also displays the protocol port number if the server is

enabled. Here is the command:

awplus> enable

awplus# show ip http

Chapter 92: Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server

1430

Overview

The switch has a web browser server for remote management of the unit

with a web browser application from management workstations on your

network. The server has a secure HTTPS mode and a non-secure HTTP

mode. Web browser management sessions that use the secure HTTPS

mode are protected against snooping because the packets exchanged

between the switch and your management workstations are encrypted.

Only the switch and the workstations are able to decipher the packets.

In contrast, web browser management sessions conducted in the non-

secure HTTP mode are vulnerable to eavesdropping because the packets

are sent in clear text.

This chapter explains how to configure the switch for the secure HTTPS

mode. For directions on the non-secure mode, refer to Chapter 90, “Non-

secure HTTP Web Browser Server” on page 1417.

Certificates When you initiate an HTTPS connection from your management

workstation to the switch, the switch responds by sending a certificate to

your workstation. This file contains the encryption key that the two devices

use to encrypt and decrypt their packets to each other. Also included in

the certificate is a distinguished name that identifies the owner of the

certificate, which in the case of a certificate for your switch, is the switch

itself and your company.

The switch does not come with a certificate. You have to create it, along

with the encryption key and distinguished name, as part of the HTTPS

configuration process.

There are two ways to create the certificate. The quickest and easiest way

is to have the switch create it itself. This type of certificate is called a self-

signed certificate because the switch authenticates the certificate itself.

Another option is to create the encryption key and have someone else

issue the certificate. That person, group, or organization is called a

certification authority (CA), of which there are public and private CAs. A

public CA issues certificates typically intended for use by the general

public, for other companies or organizations. Public CAs require proof of

the identify of the company or organization before they will issue a

certificate. VeriSign is an example of a public CA.

Because the certificate for the switch is not intended for general use and

will only be used by you and other network managers to manage the

device, having a public CA issue the certificate will probably be

unnecessary.

Some large companies have private CAs. This is a person or group that is

responsible for issuing certificates for the company’s network equipment.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1431

Private CAs allow companies to keep track of the certificates and control

access to various network devices.

If your company is large enough, it might have a private CA, and you might

want that group to issue the certificate for the switch so that you are in

compliance with company policy.

If you choose to have a public or private CA issue the certificate, you must

first create a self-signed certificate. Afterwards, you have to generate a

digital document, called an enrollment request, which you send to the CA.

The document contains the public key and other information that the CA

will use to create the certificate.

Before sending an enrollment request to a CA, you should contact the CA

to determine what other documents or procedures might be required in

order for the CA to process the certificate. This is particularly important

with public CAs, which typically have strict guidelines on issuing

certificates.

Distinguished

Name

A certificate, whether its self-signed by the switch or issued by a CA, must

identity its owner, which, in the case of a certificate for the switch, is the

switch itself and your company. The name of the owner is entered in the

form of a distinguished name, which has six parts.

Common name (cn): This is the IP address or name of the switch.

Organizational unit (ou): This is the name of the department, such

as Network Support or IT, that the switch is serving.

Organization (o): This is the name of your company.

Location: The location of the switch or company, such as the city.

State (st): The state where the switch or company is located.

Country (c): This is the country.

The common name of a certificate for the switch should be its IP address.

At the start of an HTTPS web browser management session with the

switch, the web browser on your management station checks to see if the

name to whom the certificate was issued matches the name of the web

site. In the case of the switch, the web site’s name is the switch’s IP

address. If they do not match, your web browser displays a security

warning. It is for this reason that the common name in the distinguished

name should be the IP address of the switch. Of course, even if you see

the security warning, you can close the warning prompt and still configure

the switch using your web browser.

Alternatively, if your network has a Domain Name System, and you

mapped a name to the IP address of the switch, you can specify the

switch’s name, instead of the IP address as the common name in the

distinguished name.

Chapter 92: Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server

1432

Note

If the certificate will be issued by a private or public CA, you should

check with the CA to see if they have any rules or guidelines on

distinguished names for the certificates they issue.

Guidelines The guidelines for creating certificates are:

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The management workstations from which you will configure the

switch with web browser applications must be members of the

same network as the management IP address of the switch, or

they must have access to it through routers or other Layer 3

devices.

The web browser server cannot operate in both HTTP mode and

HTTPS mode at the same time.

A certificate can have only one encryption key.

The switch can use only certificates containing keys that it

generated.

The switch can have up to eight certificates, but only one can be

active at a time.

Your web browser must support HTTPS to use encryption.

The switch supports HTTPS v1.0 and v1.1 protocols running over

SSL.

The switch supports RSA encryption.

The switch supports the following SSL protocols:

SSL version 2.0

SSL version 3.0

TLS (Transmission Layer Security) version 1.0

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1433

Creating a Self-signed Certificate

Here are the main steps to configuring the switch for a self-signed

certificate:

1. Create a new self-signed certificate with “CRYPTO CERTIFICATE

GENERATE” on page 1445, in the Global Configuration mode. The

command has this format:

crypto certificate

id_number

generate

length passphrase

common_name organizational_unit organization location

state country duration

The ID_NUMBER parameter is a value from 1 to 10 that uniquely

identifies the certificate on the switch. Since the switch cannot have

more than eight certificates, and since only one certificate can be

active at a time, you probably will not create more than one or two

certificates.

The length specifies the length in bits of the encryption key of the

certificate. The range is 512 to 1536 bits.

The PASSPHRASE parameter consists of 4 to 20 alphanumeric

characters that are used to export the certificate in PKCS12 file format.

Although the switch does not allow you to export certificates, you are

still required to include a value for this parameter in the command.

The COMMON_NAME, ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT, ORGANIZATION,

LOCATION, STATE, and COUNTRY parameters make up the

distinguished name of the certificate. All of these parameters, with the

exception of the COUNTRY parameter, have lengths up to 64

characters. Spaces and special characters are not allowed.

The COUNTRY parameter is the two-character ISO 3166-1 initials of

the country, in uppercase letters.

2. After creating the self-signed certificate, designate it as the active

certificate on the switch with “IP HTTPS CERTIFICATE” on

page 1452, in the Global Configuration mode. The command has this

format:

ip https certificate

id_number

The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number of the new certificate

you created in step 1.

3. Activate the HTTPS web browser server with “SERVICE HTTPS” on

page 1451, in the Global Configuration mode. This command has no

parameters.

At this point, the switch, if it has a management IP address, is ready for

remote management with a web browser application. To start a

management session, enter the IP address of the switch in the URL field

of your web browser, being sure to include the prefix “https://”.

Here is an example of how to create a self-signed certificate and how to

configure the HTTPS web browser server for the certificate. The

specifications of the certificate are listed here:

Chapter 92: Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server

1436

Configuring the HTTPS Web Server for a Certificate Issued by a CA

Here are the main steps to configuring the HTTPS web browser server for

a certificate from a CA:

1. Create a self-signed certificate with “CRYPTO CERTIFICATE

GENERATE” on page 1445, in the Global Configuration mode. The

command has this format:

crypto certificate

id_number

generate

length passphrase

common_name organizational_unit organization location

state country duration

The parameters are described in step 1 in the previous procedure and

in “CRYPTO CERTIFICATE GENERATE” on page 1445.

2. Create an enrollment request with “CRYPTO CERTIFICATE

REQUEST” on page 1449, in the Global Configuration mode. The

format of the command is shown here:

crypto certificate

id_number

request

common_name

organizational_unit organization location state country

The values of the parameters in this command must be exactly the

same as the corresponding values from the CRYPTO CERTIFICATE

GENERATE command, used to create the self-signed certificate. This

includes the ID_NUMBER parameter. Any differences, including

differences in capitalizations, will cause the switch to reject the CA

certificate when you import it into the switch’s certificate database.

3. Cut and paste the enrollment request from your screen into a word

processor document.

4. Submit the enrollment request to the CA.

5. After you receive the certificate files from the CA, download them into

the switch’s file system using TFTP or Zmodem. For instructions, refer

to Chapter 36, “File Transfer” on page 555. Be sure to download all

certificate files from the CA.

6. Import the certificate into the certificate database with “CRYPTO

CERTIFICATE IMPORT” on page 1448. The command has this

format:

crypto certificate

id_number

import

The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number you assigned the self-

signed certificate and enrollment request.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1437

7. Designate the new certificate from the CA as the active certificate on

the switch with “IP HTTPS CERTIFICATE” on page 1452, in the Global

Configuration mode. The command has this format:

ip https certificate

id_number

The ID_NUMBER parameter is the ID number you assigned the self-

signed certificate and enrollment request.

8. Activate the HTTPS web browser server with “SERVICE HTTPS” on

page 1451, in the Global Configuration mode. This command has no

parameters.

Here is an example of how to configure the HTTPS web browser server for

a certificate from a public or private CA. The certificate is assigned these

specifications:

ID number: 1

Key length: 512

Passphrase: hazeltime

Common name: 124.201.76.54 (This is the IP address of the

switch.)

Enabling the Web Browser Server

The command to activate the web browser server for secure HTTPS

operation is the SERVICE HTTPS command in the Global Configuration

mode. The command, which does not have any parameters, is shown

here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# service https

Here are the guidelines to the command:

The switch should already have a management IP address. For

instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management

Addresses” on page 293.

The switch should have a HTTPS certificate.

If the HTTP mode is enabled, you must disable it with the NO

HTTP SERVER command before activating the HTTPS mode. The

command is in the Global Configuration mode.

Now that the server is activated for HTTPS operation, you can begin to

manage the switch remotely using a web browser application from a

workstation on your network. Enter the IP address of the switch in the URL

field of the application and, when prompted by the switch, enter your login

user name and password. Be sure to include the “HTTPS://” prefix with the

IP address.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1441

Disabling the Web Browser Server

The command to disable the HTTPS mode is the NO SERVICE HTTPS

command in the Global Configuration mode:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no service https

No further web browser management sessions are permitted by the switch

after the server is disabled. Any web browser sessions that are in progress

when the server is disabled are interrupted and are not allowed to

continue.

Chapter 92: Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server

1442

Displaying the Web Browser Server

To display whether the HTTPS web server is enabled or disabled on the

switch, issue the SHOW IP HTTPS command in the Privileged Exec

mode. The command also displays the protocol port number if the server

is enabled. Here is the command:

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

1458

Overview

The switch has RADIUS and TACACS+ clients for remote authentication.

Here are the two features that use remote authentication:

802.1x port-based network access control. This feature lets you

increase network security by requiring that network users log on

with user names and passwords before the switch will forward their

packets. This feature is described in Chapter 69, “802.1x Port-

based Network Access Control” on page 1039.

Remote manager accounts. This feature lets you add more

manager accounts to the switch by transferring the task of

authenticating the accounts from the switch to an authentication

server on your network. This feature is described in “Remote

Manager Accounts” on page 1459.

The RADIUS client supports both features, but the TACACS+ client

supports only the remote manager accounts feature. Here are the

guidelines:

Only one client can be active on the switch at a time.

If you want to use just the remote manager account feature, you

can use either RADIUS or TACACS+ because both clients support

that feature.

If you want to use 802.1x port-based network access control, you

have to use the RADIUS client because the TACACS+ client does

not support that feature.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1459

Remote Manager Accounts

The switch has one local manager account. The account is referred to as a

local account because the switch authenticates the user name and

password when a manager uses the account to log on. If the user name

and password are valid, the switch allows the individual to access its

management software. Otherwise, it cancels the login to prevent

unauthorized access.

There are two ways to add more manager accounts. One way is to create

additional local accounts. This is explained in Chapter 82, “Local Manager

Accounts” on page 1355 and Chapter 83, “Local Manager Account

Commands” on page 1367. There can be up to eight local manager

accounts.

The other way to add more accounts is with a RADIUS or TACACS+

authentication server on your network. With these features, the

authentication of the user names and passwords of the manager accounts

is performed by one or more authentication servers. The switch forwards

the information to the servers when managers log on. The following steps

illustrate the authentication process that occurs between the switch and an

authentication server when a manager logs on:

1. The switch uses its RADIUS or TACACS+ client to transmit the user

name and password to an authentication server on the network.

2. The server checks to see if the user name and password are valid.

3. If the combination is valid, the authentication server notifies the switch,

which completes the login process, allowing the manager access to its

management software.

4. If the user name and password are invalid, the authentication protocol

server notifies the switch, which cancels the login.

As explained in “Privilege Levels” on page 1356, local manager accounts

can have a privilege level of 1 or 15. Managers with a privilege level of 15

have access to all command modes. Managers with accounts that have a

privilege level of 1 are restricted to the User Exec mode when command

mode restriction is active on the switch, unless they know the special

password.

Privilege levels also apply to remote manager accounts. When you create

accounts on an authentication server, assign them a level of 1 or 15, just

like local accounts. If command mode restriction is active on the switch,

managers with a privilege level of 1 are limited to the User Exec mode,

while managers with a privilege level of 15 are given access to the entire

command mode structure. If command mode restriction is not active on

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

1460

the switch, the privilege level of an account is ignored and all accounts

have access to the entire command mode structure.

Here are the main steps to using the remote manager accounts feature on

the switch:

1. Install TACACS+ or RADIUS server software on one or more of your

network servers or management stations. Authentication protocol

server software is not available from Allied Telesis.

2. Add the new manager accounts to the authentication servers. Here

are the guidelines:

– Assign each account a user name and password. The maximum

length of a user name is 38 alphanumeric characters and spaces,

and the maximum length of a password is 16 alphanumeric

characters and spaces.

– Assign each account a privilege level. This process differs

depending on the server software. The TACACS+ server provides

sixteen levels of the Privilege attribute (0 to 15); however, the AT-

FS970M switch provides only two settings of the Privilege attribute

(0 or 15). If command mode restriction is active on the switch, a

manager account with a privilege level of 0 is restricted to the User

Exec mode, while an account with a privilege level of 15 has access

to all the command modes.

Note

If you enter a value other than 0 or 15 for the TACACS+ privilege

level, the switch does not recognize the privilege level and responds

with a “failed to authenticate” error message.

For RADIUS, the management level is controlled by the Service Type

attribute. Of its 11 values, only two apply to the switch. A value of “NAS

Prompt” is equivalent to a privilege level of 1, while a value of

“Administrative” is equivalent to the privilege level 15.

Note

This manual does not explain how to configure a TACACS+ or

RADIUS server. For instructions, refer to the documentation

included with the server software.

3. Assign the switch a management IP address. For instructions, refer to

“What to Configure First” on page 78 or Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6

Management Addresses” on page 293.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1461

4. Configure the RADIUS or TACACS+ client on the switch by entering

the IP addresses of up to three authentication servers. For instructions,

refer to “Managing the RADIUS Client” on page 1462 or “Managing the

TACACS+ Client” on page 1466.

5. Enable the TACACS+ or RADIUS client.

6. Activate remote manager authentication on the switch. For

instructions, refer to “Configuring Remote Authentication of Manager

Accounts” on page 1469.

Note

For information on the RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication

protocols, refer to the RFC 2865 and RFC 1492 standards,

respectively.

Guidelines Here are the guidelines to using the RADIUS and TACACS+ clients:

Only one client can be active on the switch at a time.

The clients can have a maximum of three IP addresses of

authentication servers.

The switch must have a management IP address. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The authentication servers on your network must be members of

the same subnet as the management IP address of the switch or

have access to it through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

If the authentication servers are not members of the same subnet

as the management IP address, the switch must have a default

gateway. The default gateway defines the IP address of the first

hop to reaching the remote subnet of the servers. For instructions,

refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on

page 293.

The client polls the servers for authentication information in the

order in which they are listed in the client.

The switch does not support the two earlier versions of the

TACACS+ protocol, TACACS and XTACACS.

The TACACS+ client does not support 802.1x port-based network

access control. You must use the RADIUS client and a RADIUS

server for that feature.

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

Managing the RADIUS Client

The following subsections describe how to manage the RADIUS client:

“Adding IP Addresses of RADIUS Servers” next

“Specifying a RADIUS Global Encryption Key” on page 1463

“Specifying the Server Timeout” on page 1463

“Specifying RADIUS Accounting” on page 1464

“Removing the Accounting Method List” on page 1464

“Deleting Server IP Addresses” on page 1465

“Displaying the RADIUS Client” on page 1465

Adding IP

Addresses of

RADIUS Servers

The RADIUS client can store up to three IP addresses of RADIUS servers

on your network. The order that you add an IP address determines its

order on the switch. For instance, the first IP address that you add

becomes server one, the second IP address that you add becomes server

two, and the third IP address that you add becomes server three. Also,

when you remove an IP address from the switch, the IP addresses below

it are moved up. For example, if you make the following assignments:

server one is 186.178.11.154

server two is 186.178.11.156

server three is 186.178.11.158

If you delete server one with an IP address of 186.178.11.154, server two

remains the IP address of 186.178.11.156 and moves up to server one in

the list, and the IP address of 186.178.11.158 moves up to server two. As

a result, the next server address that you add to the switch is added to the

bottom of the list and becomes server three.

To add an IP address, use the RADIUS-SERVER HOST command in the

Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:

radius-server host

ipaddress

[acct-port

value

] [auth-port

value

] [key

value

]

You can add only one address at a time with this command.

The HOST parameter specifies the IP address of a RADIUS server on the

network.

The ACCT-PORT parameter specifies the accounting port. This is the

UDP destination port for RADIUS accounting requests. If 0 is specified,

the server is not used for accounting. The default UDP port for accounting

is 1813.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1463

The AUTH-PORT parameter specifies the UDP destination port for

RADIUS authentication requests. If 0 is specified, the server is not used

for authentication. The default UDP port for authentication is 1812.

The KEY parameter specifies the encryption key used by the designated

RADIUS server. The maximum length is 40 characters.

The AUTH-PORT parameter specifies the UDP destination port for

RADIUS authentication requests. The default UDP port is 1812.

The KEY parameter specifies the encryption key used by the designated

RADIUS server. The maximum length is 40 characters. Special characters

are allowed, but spaces are not permitted.

This example adds the IP address 111.111.111.111 as the second

address in the list. The accounting port is 1811, and the authentication port

is 1815. The encryption key is “ATI:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# radius-server host 111.111.111.111 acct-port

1811 auth-port 1815 key ATI

Specifying a

RADIUS Global

Encryption Key

If the RADIUS servers on your network use the same encryption key, use

the RADIUS-SERVER KEY command in the Global Configuration mode to

enter a global encryption key in the client. The format of the command is:

radius-server key

secret

This example specifies “4tea23” as the global encryption key of the

RADIUS servers:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# radius-server key 4tea23

To remove the global encryption key without specifying a new value, use

the NO form of this command:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no radius-server key

Specifying the

Server Timeout

When the switch sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server, it

waits a predefined time period for a response. This time period is referred

to as the server timeout value. If the switch does not receive a response to

an authentication request, it queries the next server in the list. If none of

the servers respond, the switch activates the local manager accounts.

To set the server timeout period, use the RADIUS-SERVER TIMEOUT

command in the Global Configuration mode. The range is 1 to 1000

seconds. The default is 5 seconds.

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

1464

This example sets the RADIUS timeout to 15 seconds:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# radius-server timeout 15

Specifying

RADIUS

Accounting

To specify RADIUS accounting for all shell login sessions, use the AAA

ACCOUNTING LOGIN command in the Global Configuration mode. Here

is the format of the command:

aaa accounting login default start-stop|stop-only|none

group

radius|tacacs [local]

The DEFAULT parameter indicates the default accounting method list.

The START-STOP parameter indicates a start accounting message is

sent at the beginning of a session, and a stop accounting message is sent

at the end of the session.

The STOP-ONLY parameter indicates a stop accounting message is sent

at the end of the session.

The NONE parameter disables accounting messages.

The GROUP parameter indicates the user server group. Specify the

RADIUS server.

The LOCAL parameter indicates that if the first attempt to authenticate a

user with the RADIUS server fails, the authentication process fails, and

the user is approved to access the switch with the local name and

password.

This example configures RADIUS accounting for all login shell sessions to

send a start accounting message at the beginning of a session and a stop

accounting message at the end of the session:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa accounting login default start-stop

group radius

Removing the

Accounting

Method List

To reset the configuration of the default accounting list for login shell

sessions, use the NO AAA ACCOUNTING LOGIN DEFAULT command.

This command causes the switch to revert to the authentication method

used by the local user database:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no aaa accounting login default

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1465

Deleting Server

IP Addresses

To delete the IP address of a RADIUS server from the list of servers on the

switch, use the NO RADIUS-SERVER HOST command in the Global

Configuration mode. You can delete only one IP address at a time with this

command. This example removes the IP address 211.132.123.12 from the

list of RADIUS servers:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no radius-server host 211.132.123.12

Displaying the

RADIUS Client

To display the settings of the RADIUS client, use the SHOW RADIUS

command in the User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode.

awplus# show radius

Here is an example of the RADIUS client information.

“Removing the Accounting Method List” on page 1467

“Displaying the TACACS+ Client” on page 1468

Adding IP

Addresses of

TACACS+

Servers

The TACACS+ client can store the IP addresses of three TACACS+

servers on your network. The order that you add an IP address determines

its order on the switch. For instance, the first IP address that you add

becomes server one, the second IP address that you add becomes server

two, and the third IP address that you add becomes server three. Also,

when you remove an IP address from the switch, the IP addresses below

it are moved up. For example, if you make the following assignments:

server one is 186.178.11.154

server two is 186.178.11.156

server three is 186.178.11.158

If you delete the IP address of 186.178.11.154 for server one in the list,

the server two IP address of 186.178.11.156 moves up to the server one

position, and the IP address of 186.178.11.158 moves up to the server two

position. As a result, the next server address that you add to the switch is

added to the bottom of the list and becomes server three.

Use the TACACS-SERVER HOST command in the Global Configuration

mode command to add an IP address of a server to the client. Here is the

format of the command:

tacacs-server host

ipaddress

key

value

You can add only one IP address at a time with this command.

The HOST parameter specifies an IP address of a TACACS+ server.

The KEY parameter specifies the secret key of a TACACS+ server. The

maximum length is 40 characters. Special characters are allowed, but

spaces are not permitted.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1467

This example adds the IP address 115.16.172.54 as a TACACS+

authentication server at the bottom of the list. The server has the key

“prt17:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# tacacs-server host 115.16.172.54 key prt17

Specifying

TACACS+

Accounting

To specify TACACS+ accounting for all shell login sessions, use the AAA

ACCOUNTING LOGIN command in the Global Configuration mode. Here

is the format of the command:

aaa accounting login default start-stop|stop-only|none

group

radius|tacacs

The DEFAULT parameter indicates the default accounting method list.

The START-STOP parameter indicates a start accounting message is

sent at the beginning of a session, and a stop accounting message is sent

at the end of the session.

The STOP-ONLY parameter indicates a stop accounting message is sent

at the end of the session.

The NONE parameter disables accounting messages.

The GROUP parameter indicates the user server group. Specify the

TACACS+ server.

This example configures TACACS+ accounting for all login shell sessions

to send a start accounting message at the beginning of a session and a

stop accounting message at the end of the session:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa accounting login default start-stop

group tacacs

Removing the

Accounting

Method List

To reset the configuration of the default accounting list for login shell

sessions, use the NO AAA ACCOUNTING LOGIN DEFAULT command.

This command causes the switch to revert to the authentication method

used by the local user database:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no aaa accounting login default

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

1468

Deleting IP

Addresses of

TACACS+

Servers

To delete the IP address of a TACACS+ server from the client on the

switch, use the NO TACACS-SERVER HOST command in the Global

Configuration mode. You can delete only one IP address at a time with

this command. This example removes the IP address 122.124.15.7 from

the TACACS+ client:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no tacacs-server host 122.114.15.7

Displaying the

Configuring Remote Authentication of Manager Accounts

Check that you performed the following steps before activating remote

authentication of manager accounts on the switch:

Added at least one RADIUS or TACACS+ server to your network.

Added the manager accounts to the authentication servers.

Assigned a management IP address to the switch.

Added the IP addresses of the authentication servers to the

RADIUS or TACACS+ client on the switch.

To activate the feature, use the AAA AUTHENTICATION LOGIN

commands in the Global Configuration mode. The commands for the two

clients are different. If you are using RADIUS, enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa authentication login radius

If you are using TACACS+, enter:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# aaa authentication login tacacs

After you activate the feature, all future login attempts by managers are

forwarded by the switch to the designated authentication servers for

authentication.

To deactivate the feature, use the NO versions of the commands. The

following example deactivates the feature if it is using RADIUS:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no aaa authentication login radius

The following example deactivates the feature if it is using TACACS+:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# no aaa authentication login tacacs

The switch supports both local and remote manager accounts at the same

time for different management methods. You can toggle the remote

manager authenticator on or off for local, Telnet, and SSH management

sessions. For example, you may configure the switch to use its local

manager accounts for local management sessions and remote manager

accounts for Telnet and SSH management sessions. You can even toggle

remote authentication on or off for the ten individual VTY lines the switch

Chapter 94: RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients

1470

uses for remote Telnet and SSH sessions. (For background information,

refer to “VTY Lines” on page 77.)

Toggling remote authentication is accomplished with the LOGIN

AUTHENTICATION and NO LOGIN AUTHENTICATION commands,

found in the Console Line and Virtual Terminal Line modes. Here are

several examples of how to use the commands.

Assume you used the appropriate AAA AUTHENTICATION LOGIN

command to activate remote authentication on the switch. At the default

settings, the switch activates remote authentication for all local, Telnet,

and SSH management sessions. Now assume that you want the switch to

use the local manager accounts instead of the remote manager accounts

whenever anyone logs in using the Console port. To do this, you need to

toggle off remote authentication for local management sessions using the

NO LOGIN AUTHENTICATION command in the Console Line mode, as

shown here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line console 0

awplus(config-line)# no login authentication

Now, even though remote authentication is activated, the switch uses its

local manager accounts to authenticate the user name and password

whenever someone logs on through the Console port.

If you change your mind and want to reactivate remote authentication for

local management sessions, enter the LOGIN AUTHENTICATION

command, again in the Console Line mode, as shown here:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line console 0

awplus(config-line)# login authentication

Toggling remote authentication for Telnet and SSH management sessions

is more complex because there are ten VTY lines and you can toggle

remote authentication on each line individually. For example, you might

configure the lines so that the switch uses its local manager accounts to

authenticate management sessions on lines 0 and 1, and the remote

manager accounts on the other lines.

Toggling remote authentication on the VTY lines is performed with the

same commands as for local management sessions, but in different

modes. They are called VTY Line modes, and there is one mode for each

line. The command for entering the modes is the LINE VTY command,

which has this format:

line vty

line_id

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1471

The LINE_ID parameter has a range of 0 to 9. The following example of

the command toggles off remote authentication on VTY line 0.

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line vty 0

awplus(config-line)# no login authentication

Now, the switch uses the local manager accounts, instead of the remote

accounts, to authenticate the user name and password when an

administrator establishes a Telnet or SSH management session on VTY

line 0.

The following example reactivates remote authentication on VTY line 0:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# line vty 0

awplus(config-line)# login authentication

Syntax

Parameters

None

Modes

Console Line and Virtual Terminal Line modes

Description

Use this command to activate remote authentication of manager accounts

for local management sessions and remote Telnet and SSH sessions.

You can activate remote authentication separately for the different

management methods. Remote authentication of local management

sessions is activated in the Console Line mode while remote

authentication for remote Telnet and SSH management sessions is

activated in the Virtual Terminal Line mode.

Note

If the switch is unable to communicate with the authentication

servers when a manager logs on, because either the servers are not

responding or the RADIUS or TACACS+ client is configured

incorrectly, the switch automatically reactivates the local manager

accounts so that you can continue to log on and manage the unit.

Chapter 96: Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs)

1502

Overview

Access Control Lists (ACLs) act as filters to control the ingress packets on

ports. They are commonly used to restrict the types of packets ports

accept to increase port security and create physical links dedicated to

carrying specific types of traffic. For instance, you can configure ACLs to

permit ports to accept only ingress packets that have a specific source or

destination IP address.

There are four types of ACLs:

Numbered IPv4 ACLs

Numbered MAC ACLs

Named IPv4 ACLs (and MAC Addresses)

Named IPv6 ACLs

Numbered IPv4 ACLs and Numbered MAC ACLs are identified by ID

numbers. The ID number range for Numbered IPv4 ACLs is 3000 to 3699.

The ID number range for Numbered MAC ACLs is 4000 to 4699. In

addition, Numbered IPv4 ACLs and Numbered MAC ACLs take effect

immediately. You cannot assign them a date or time to begin filtering.

Numbered IPv4 ACLs are only compatible with IPv4 addresses. They are

not compatible with IPv6 addresses.

Both Named IPv4 ACLs and Named IPv6 ACLs are identified by user-

specified names. You can assign both of these types a date and time to

begin and end filtering. In other words, your filtering commands do not

have to take effect immediately. Named IPv4 ACLs are compatible with

IPv4 addresses and MAC addresses. Named IPv6 ACLs are compatible

with IPv6 addresses only.

Filtering Criteria All types of ACLs identify packets using filtering criteria. There are six

criteria:

Source and destination IP addresses

ICMP source and destination IP addresses

Protocol type

Source and destination TCP ports

Source and destination UDP ports

Source and destination MAC addresses

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1503

Actions The action defines the response to packets that match the filtering criterion

of the ACL. There are three possible actions:

Permit— A permit action instructs ports to forward ingress packets

that match the specified traffic flow of the ACL. By default, all

ingress packets are forwarded by the ports.

Deny— A deny action instructs ports to discard the specified

ingress packets.

Copy to mirror— This action causes a port to copy all ingress

packets that match the ACL to the destination port of the mirror

port. This action must be used in conjunction with the port mirror

feature, explained in Chapter 25, “Port Mirror” on page 443.

ID Numbers For both Numbered IPv4 ACLs and Numbered MAC ACLs, you must

assign each ACL a unique ID number. There are two ID number ranges

that are displayed in Table 156.

How Ingress

Packets are

Compared

Against ACLs

As stated previously, ports that do not have an ACL forward all ingress

packets. Ports with one or more deny ACLs discard ingress packets that

match the ACLs and forward all other traffic. A port that has one ACL that

specifies a particular source IP address, for example, discards all ingress

packets with the specified source address and forwards all other traffic. In

situations where a port has more than one deny ACL, packets are

discarded at the first match.

Since ports forward all ingress packets unless they have deny ACLs,

permit ACLs are only necessary in situations where you want a port to

forward packets that are a subset of a larger traffic flow that is blocked, for

example, a port that forwards only packets having a specified destination

IP address. A permit ACL specifies the packets with the intended

destination IP address, and a deny ACL specifies all traffic.

When ports have both permit and deny ACLs, you must add the permit

ACLs first, because packets are compared against the ACLs in the order

they are added to the ports. If a permit ACL is added after a deny ACL,

ports are likely to discard packets specified by the permit ACL, thus

causing them to block packets you want them to forward. This concept is

illustrated in the examples in this chapter.

Table 156. Access Control List ID Number Ranges

Type of ACL ID Number Range

Numbered IPv4 ACLs 3000 - 3699

Numbered MAC ACLs 4000 - 4699

Chapter 96: Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs)

1504

Guidelines Here are the ACL guidelines:

An ACL can have a permit, deny, or copy-to-mirror action. The

permit action allows ports to forward ingress packets of the

designated traffic flow while the deny action causes ports to

discard packets. The copy-to-mirror action causes a port to copy

all ingress packets that match the ACL to the destination port of the

mirror port.

A port can have more than one ACL.

An ACL can be assigned to more than one port.

You can only assign the same ACL to the same port one time.

ACLs filter ingress packets on ports, but they do not filter egress

packets. As a result, you must apply ACLs to the ingress ports of

the designated traffic flows.

ACLs for static port trunks or LACP trunks must be assigned to the

individual ports of the trunks.

Because ports, by default, forward all ingress packets, permit

ACLs are only required in circumstances where you want ports to

forward packets that are subsets of larger packet flows that are

blocked by deny ACLs.

A port that has more than one ACL checks the ingress packets in

the order in which the ACLs are added, and forwards or discards

packets at the first match. As a result, if a port has both permit and

deny ACLs, add the permit ACLs before the deny ACLs.

Otherwise, a port is likely to discard packets you want it to forward.

Ports can have ACLs with different filtering criteria. For example, a

port may have ACLs that filter on a source IP address and a UDP

port.

Creating ACLs

This section provides examples of how to create all of the ACL types. See

the following:

“Creating Numbered IPv4 ACLs” on page 1505

“Creating Numbered MAC ACLs” on page 1517

“Creating Named IPv4 Address ACLs” on page 1519

“Creating Named IPv6 Address ACLs” on page 1521

For descriptions of the commands mentioned in these procedures, refer to

Chapter 97, “ACL Commands” on page 1539.

Creating

Numbered IPv4

ACLs

Depending on the type of filter that you want to create, there are five

commands for creating Numbered IPv4 ACLs. These commands are listed

in Table 157. All of the commands for creating Numbered IPv4 ACLs begin

with “ACCESS-LIST” and are found in the Global Configuration mode.

For examples of the commands listed in Table 157, see the following:

This is the command format for creating ACLs that filter IP packets based

on source and destination IPv4 addresses:

access-list

id_number action

src_ipaddress

dst_ipaddress

[vlan

vid

]

The ID_NUMBER parameter assigns the ACL a unique ID number in the

range of 3000 to 3699. Within this range, you can number ACLs in any

order.

The ACTION parameter specifies the action that the port performs on

packets matching the filtering criteria of the ACL. Here are the possible

actions:

permit— Forwards all ingress packets that match the ACL. Ports,

by default, accept all ingress packets. Consequently, a permit ACL

is only necessary when you want a port to forward a subset of

packets that are otherwise discarded.

deny— Discards all ingress packets that match the ACL.

copy-to-mirror— Copies all ingress packets that match the ACL to

the destination port of the mirror port. This action must be used

together with the port mirror feature, explained in Chapter 25, “Port

Mirror” on page 443.

The SRC_IPADDRESS and DST_IPADDRESS parameters specify the

source and destination IPv4 addresses. Choose from the following

options:

any— Matches any IP address.

ipaddress/mask— Matches packets that have an IP address of a

subnet or an end node. The mask is a decimal number that

represents the number of bits in the address, from left to right, that

constitute the network portion of the address. For example, the

subnet address 149.11.11.0/24 has a mask of “24” for the first

twenty-four bits of the network portion of the address. The IP

address and the mask are separated by a slash (/); for example,

“149.11.11.0/24.”

1507

host ipaddress— Matches packets with a specified IPv4 address

and is an alternative to the IPADRESS/MASK variable for

addresses of end nodes. The HOST keyword indicates that the

IPv4 address is assigned to a specific end node and that no mask

is required.

The VLAN parameter determines if an ACL filters VLANs. You use the

parameter to specify the VID. You can specify one VID per command. If

you omit this parameter, the ACL applies to all traffic. In other words, no

filtering is done by the ACL based on the VLAN.

The following tables provide several examples of the command. In

Table 158, a Numbered IPv4 ACL is created with an ID number of 3097,

that blocks all untagged ingress packets with the specified destination

address of 149.107.22.0/24:

The example in Table 159 creates two Numbered IPv4 ACLs that block all

traffic with specified subnets 149.87.201.0/24 and 149.87.202.0/24.

If you want a port to forward a subset of packets of a more-specific traffic

flow, you have to create a permit ACL for the permitted packets and a

deny ACL for the denied traffic flow. This is illustrated in the example in

Table 160 in which port 15 is configured to forward only ingress packets

from the 149.55.65.0/24 subnet and to discard all other traffic. The permit

ACL, which has the ID number 3015, specifies the packets from the

permitted subnet, while the deny ACL, with the ID number 3011, specifies

all traffic.

Note

In the example, the permit ACL is added to the port before the deny

ACL. This is important because packets are compared against

the ACLs in the order in which the ACLs are added to the port. If the

deny ACL is added first, the port blocks all traffic, even the traffic

specified by the permit ACL.

For another example of permit ACLs, see Table 161 on page 1509. In this

example, ports 21 and 22 forward traffic from three specified network

devices and discard all other ingress traffic. The allowed traffic is specified

with three permit ACLs.

Here is an example of an ACL that filters tagged packets. See Table 162.

It blocks all tagged packets with the VID 14 from ports 5 and 6. The ACL is

assigned an ID number of 3122:

Numbered IPv4 ACL with ICMP Packets Example

This is the command format for creating Numbered IPv4 ACLs that filter

ICMP packets based on source and destination IPv4 addresses:

access-list

id_number action

]

The ID_NUMBER parameter assigns the ACL a unique ID number in the

range of 3000 to 3699. Within this range, you can number ACLs in any

order.

The ACTION parameter specifies the action that the port performs on

packets matching the filtering criteria of the ACL. Here are the possible

actions:

permit— Forwards all ingress packets that match the ACL. Ports,

by default, accept all ingress packets. Consequently, a permit ACL

is only necessary when you want a port to forward a subset of

packets that are otherwise discarded.

deny— Discards all ingress packets that match the ACL.

copy-to-mirror— Copies all ingress packets that match the ACL to

the destination port of the mirror port. This action must be used

together with the port mirror feature, explained in Chapter 25, “Port

Mirror” on page 443.

The SRC_IPADDRESS and DST_IPADDRESS parameters specify the

source and destination IPv4 addresses. Choose from the following

options:

any— Matches any IPv4 address.

ipaddress/mask— Matches packets that have an IPv4 address of a

subnet or an end node. The mask is a decimal number that

represents the number of bits in the address, from left to right, that

constitute the network portion of the address. For example, the

subnet address 149.11.11.0/24 has a mask of “24” for the first

twenty-four bits of the network portion of the address. The IPv4

address and the mask are separated by a slash (/); for example,

“149.11.11.0/24.”

host ipaddress— Matches packets with a specified IPv4 address

and is an alternative to the IPADRESS/MASK variable for

addresses of end nodes. The HOST keyword indicates that the

address is of a specific end node and that no mask is required.

The VLAN parameter determines if an ACL filters VLANs. You use the

parameter to specify the VID. You can specify one VID per command. If

you omit this parameter, the ACL applies to all traffic. In other words, no

filtering is done by the ACL based on the VLAN.

In the following example, a Numbered IPv4 ACL is created with an ID

number of 3000, that blocks all untagged ingress ICMP packets with a

source address of 192.168.1.10/32:

Table 163. Numbered IPv4 ACL with ICMP Packets Example

copy-to-mirror— Copies all ingress packets that match the ACL to

the destination port of the mirror port. This action must be used

together with the port mirror feature, explained in Chapter 25, “Port

Mirror” on page 443.

The protocol_number parameter specifies a protocol number. You can

specify one protocol number per command. Refer to Table 189, “Protocol

Numbers” on page 1559 for the list of protocol numbers.

The SRC_IPADDRESS and DST_IPADDRESS parameters specify the

source and destination IP addresses. Choose from the following options:

any— Matches any IPv4 address.

ipaddress/mask— Matches packets that have an IPv4 address of a

subnet or an end node. The mask is a decimal number that

represents the number of bits in the address, from left to right, that

constitute the network portion of the address. For example, the

subnet address 149.11.11.0/24 has a mask of “24” for the first

twenty-four bits of the network portion of the address. The IPv4

address and the mask are separated by a slash (/); for example,

The VLAN parameter determines if an ACL filters VLANs. You use the

parameter to specify the VID. You can specify one VID per command. If

you omit this parameter, the ACL applies to all traffic. In other words, no

filtering is done by the ACL based on the VLAN.

This example creates a deny access list to ports 5 and 6 so that they

discard all tagged ingress packets that contain protocol 17, a VID of 12,

and originate from the 152.12.45.0 subnet. The access list is assigned the

ID number 3011:

copy-to-mirror— Copies all ingress packets that match the ACL to

the destination port of the mirror port. This action must be used

together with the port mirror feature, explained in Chapter 25, “Port

Mirror” on page 443.

The src_mac_address parameter specifies the source MAC address of

the ingress packets. Here are the possible options:

src_mac_address— Specifies the source MAC address of the

packets. The address must be entered in hexadecimal in one of

the following formats: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

any— Matches any source MAC address.

The src_mac_mask parameter specifies the source MAC address mask.

The mask must be entered in one of the following formats:

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

The “x” variable can be either “0” or “F”. Use a “0” mask to indicate the

parts of the MAC address the ACL is to filter. Use an “F” mask for parts of

the MAC address the ACL should ignore.

Note

Do not include a mask if you specified ANY as the source MAC

address.

The dst_mac_address parameter specifies the destination MAC address

of the ingress packets. Here are the possible options:

dst_mac_address— Specifies the destination MAC address of the

packets. The address must be entered in hexadecimal in one of

the following formats: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx or xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

The Named IPv6 address ACLs are created with the IPv6 ACCESS-LIST

commands. For a description of all the IPv6 ACCESS-LIST commands,

see Chapter 97, “ACL Commands” on page 1539. First, you create the

Named IPv6 ACL with the IPv6 ACCESS-LIST command. It automatically

places you in the IPv6 ACL mode where you can add the filter, as well as

the source and destination IPv6 addresses. In addition, you can classify

tagged packets by assigning a VLAN ID. The time range parameter allows

you to decide when (time and date) filtering begins and ends.

There are six commands for creating Named IPv6 ACLs. The IPv6

ACCESS-LIST command allows you to create a Named IPv6 ACL and

enter the IPv6 ACL command mode. The remaining five commands

provide one command for each filtering criterion of ICMP, IP, Protocol,

TCP, and UDP. The commands are listed in Table 171.

awplus(config)# ip access-list tcpdeny Create a Named IPv4 ACL called

“tcpdeny” and enter the IP ACL mode.

awplus(config-ip-acl)# deny tcp

152.12.45.2/32 152.12.45.3/32 vlan 5

Allow the filter to deny TCP ingress

packets from source IPv4 address

152.12.45.2/32 to destination IPv4

address 152.12.45.3/32 on VLAN 5.

Assigning ACLs to Ports

Before you can assign an ACL to a port, you must first create an ACL. The

command that you use to assign an ACL to a port depends on which type

of ACL you have created. See the following sections:

“Assigning Numbered IPv4 ACLs to a Port” on page 1523

“Assigning MAC Address ACLs to a Port” on page 1524

“Assigning Named IPv4 ACLs” on page 1525

“Assigning Named IPv6 ACLs” on page 1526

Note

In situations where ports have both permit and deny ACLs, you must

assign the permit ACLs to a port first because ingress packets are

compared against the ACLs in the order in which they are added to

the ports. If you add the deny ACLs first, the ports may block

packets you want them to forward.

Note

The Numbered IPv4 ACLs and the MAC Address Lists ACLs do not

allow you to set a time range. Ports immediately begin to filter traffic

as soon as you assign an ACL. However, you can set time ranges

for the Named IPv4 and Named IPv6 ACLs. See “Setting ACL Time

Ranges” on page 1533.

Assigning

Numbered IPv4

ACLs to a Port

To assign a Numbered IPv4 ACL to a port on the switch, use the

ACCESS-GROUP command in the Port Interface mode. Using this

command, you can add one Numbered IPv4 ACL to a port or several

ports. The ACL must exist on the switch. Here is the format of the

command:

access-group

id_number

For more information about this command, see “ACCESS-GROUP” on

page 1546.

Chapter 96: Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs)

1524

In this example, ports 12 and 13 are assigned an ACL, ID number 3075,

that blocks all untagged ingress packets with a destination address in the

149.107.22.0 subnet. See Table 173.

Assigning MAC

Address ACLs to

a Port

To assign a MAC ACL to a port on the switch, use the MAC ACCESS-

GROUP command in the Port Interface mode. Using this command, you

can add one MAC ACL to a port or several ports. The ACL must exist on

the switch. Here is the format of the command:

mac access-group

id_number

For more information about this command, see “MAC ACCESS-GROUP”

on page 1611.

This example creates two MAC ACLs with ID numbers of 4025 and 4055.

ACL 4025 permits only packets that have source MAC addresses starting

with “45:2A:B5:”. ACL 4055 denies all other MAC addresses. Then assign

both ACLs to port 7:

Table 173. Assigning Numbered IPv4 ACLs

Command Description

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive mode from the

User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# access-list 3075

Create the deny ACL.

awplus(config)# interface

port1.0.12,port1.0.13

Enter the Port Interface mode for ports 12 and

13.

awplus(config_if)# access-group

3075

Apply the ACL to the ports with the ACCESS-

GROUP command.

Create the permit ACL.

awplus(config)# access-list

4055 deny any any

Create the deny ACL.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1525

Assigning Named

IPv4 ACLs

To assign a Named IPv4 ACL to a port on the switch, use the ACCESS-

GROUP command in the Port Interface mode. Before you can assign an

ACL to a port, you must create the ACL on the switch. You can add

one ACL at a time to a port with the IP ACCESS-GROUP command. This

is the format of the command:

access-group

list_name

For more information about this command, see “ACCESS-GROUP” on

page 1546.

This example creates a Named IPv4 ACL, called “udpdeny”, that denies

UDP packets from IPv4 source address 190.155.0.0/16 to IPv4 destination

address 190.155.22.3/32. See Table 175. Then the ACCESS-GROUP

command assigns “udpdeny” to port 20:

awplus(config)# interface

port1.0.7

Move to the Port Interface mode for port 7.

awplus(config_if)# mac access-

group 4025

Apply the ACL to the port with the ACCESS-

GROUP command.

awplus(config_if)# mac access-

group 4055

Apply the ACL to the port with the ACCESS-

GROUP command.

Apply the ACL to the port with the ACCESS-

GROUP command.

Chapter 96: Advanced Access Control Lists (ACLs)

1526

Assigning Named

IPv6 ACLs

To assign a Named IPv6 ACL to a port on the switch, use the IPV6

TRAFFIC-FILTER command in the Port Interface mode. Before assigning

an ACL to a port, you must create the ACL on the switch. With this

command, you can add one ACL at a time to a port. To add another ACL

to a port, repeat the command. Here is the format of the command:

ipv6 traffic-filter <

ipv6_access_list

For more information about this command, see “IPV6 TRAFFIC-FILTER”

on page 1610.

This example creates a Named IPv6 ACL called “icmppermit” that permits

ICMP packets from any IPv6 source address to any IPv6 destination

address. Then the IPV6 TRAFFIC-FILTER command assigns

“icmppermit” to port 18:

Table 176. Assigning Named IPv6 ACLs Example

Command Description

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive mode

from the User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration mode.

Setting ACL Time Ranges

By default, an ACL filter is effective immediately. However, if you want to

set a date and time when the ACL filter begins and ends, you need to

assign a time range. The time range commands support Named IPv4 and

Named IPv6 ACLs only. There are five time range commands which are

listed in Table 185.

The first step is to create a time setting with the TIME-RANGE command.

Also, the TIME-RANGE command places you in the Configuration Time-

Range mode which allows you to enter the ABSOLUTE START,

PERIODIC, or PERIODIC (DAILY) time settings commands.

The following example creates a time range setting that starts on February

1, 2012 at 9 am and ends on February 28, 2012 at 5 pm:

4000 - 4699

Specifies the ID number of the MAC access control list. The range

is 4000 to 4699.

NamedIP

Specifies the name of either an IPv4 or IPv6 Named ACL.

Mode

Virtual Terminal Line mode

Description

Use this command to assign an Access Control List to a VTY. This is done

to restrict the remote access of the switch via Telnet, Web, SNMP, or SSH

access. You can add one ACL to multiple VTY lines with this command.

Note

Allied Telesis recommends specifying all ten of the VTY lines with

the ACCESS-LIST command because the switch assigns VTY lines

randomly.

Use the no version of this command, NO ACCESS-CLASS, to remove an

ACL assignment from the VTY lines.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW RUNNING-CONFIG” on page 166

1545

Example

This example assigns the switch an IP address of 10.0.0.20/24. It creates

a Numbered ACL with an ID of 3022 that allows IP address 10.0.0.3 full

access to the switch. Then it creates an ACL with an ID number of 3025

that denies all IP addresses access to the switch.

It assigns ACL 3022 to VTY lines 0 through 9. Finally, ACL 3025 is

assigned to VTY lines 0 through 9. The result is that IP address 10.0.0.3

has full remote access to the switch. All other IP addresses are denied

remote access to the switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface vlan10

awplus(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.20/24

awplus(config-if)# quit

ACCESS-GROUP

Syntax

access-group

id_number

access-group

id_number|list_name

Parameters

id_number

Specifies the ID number of an access control list you want to add

to a port. The range is 3000 to 3699. You can add one ACL to a

port at a time with this command.

list_name

Specifies Named IP ACL. You can add one ACL to a port at a time

with this command.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to add IP ACLs to ports on the switch. Ports begin to

filter packets as soon as they are assigned ACLs. This command works

for all ACLs, except for MAC address ACLs, which are added to ports with

the MAC ACCESS-GROUP command. See “MAC ACCESS-GROUP” on

page 1611.

Note

If a port is to have both permit and deny ACLs, you must add the

permit ACLs first because ingress packets are compared against the

ACLs in the order in which they are added to a port. If you add the

deny ACLs before the permit ACLs, a port is likely to block traffic you

want it to forward.

Use the no version of this command, NO ACCESS-GROUP, to remove IP

ACL from a port on the switch.

This example configures ports 22 and 23 to accept only untagged ingress

packets containing destination addresses in the 149.124.47.0 subnet. This

example requires both permit and deny ACLs because the permitted traffic

is a subset of all traffic on the ports. The permit ACL, ID number 3011,

specifies the 149.124.47.0 subnet and the deny ACL, ID number 3012,

defines all traffic. The permit access list is added first to the ports with the

ACCESS-GROUP command so that packets are compared against it first,

before the deny ACL:

awplus> enable

Parameters

id_number

Specifies an ID number for a new ACL. The range is 3000 to 3699.

Each access list on the switch must have a unique ID number.

action

Specifies the action of the ACL. Choose from the possible actions:

permit: Forwards all ingress packets that match the ACL.

deny: Discards all ingress packets that match the ACL.

copy-to-mirror: Copies all ingress packets that match the ACL to

the destination port of the mirror port. This action must be used

in conjunction with the port mirror feature, explained in Chapter

25, “Port Mirror” on page 443.

protocol_number

Specifies a protocol number. You can specify one protocol

number. Refer to Table 189, “Protocol Numbers” on page 1559 for

the list of protocol numbers.

scr_ipaddress

Specifies the source IP address of the ingress packets the access

list should filter. Choose one of the following:

any: Matches any IP address.

ipaddress/mask: Matches packets that have a source IP

address of a subnet or an end node. The mask is a decimal

number that represents the number of bits in the address, from

left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address.

For example, the subnet address 149.11.11.0 would have a

mask of “24” for the twenty-four bits of the network section of the

address. The IP address and the mask are separated by a slash

(/); for example, “149.11.11.0/24”.

host ipaddress: Matches packets with a source IP address and

is an alternative to the IPADRESS/MASK variable for addresses

of specific end nodes. The HOST keyword indicates that the

address is of a specific and node and that no mask is required.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to add MAC address ACLs to ports on the switch. Ports

begin to filter packets as soon as they are assigned ACLs. You can add

one ACL to a port at a time with this command.

Use the no version of this command, NO MAC ACCESS-LIST, to remove

a MAC address ACL from a switch.

Note

If a port is to have both permit and deny ACLs, you must add the

permit ACLs first because ingress packets are compared against the

ACLs in the order in which they are added to a port. If you add the

deny ACLs before the permit ACLs, a port is likely to block traffic you

want it to forward.

Confirmation Command

“SHOW INTERFACE ACCESS-GROUP” on page 1621

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1626

Overview

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the latency, bandwidth, jitter, and loss

settings that high-bandwidth traffic, such as voice traffic, require to

maintain traffic quality. As more companies convert their phone systems to

VoIP, QoS becomes even more important because this feature allows you

to prioritize traffic to ensure voice quality. By default, QoS is disabled on

the switch.

At the core of the QoS is the policy map. The policy map contains one or

more class maps that filter traffic based on matching criterion, including

Cost of Service (CoS), Diffserv Code Point (DSCP), VLAN ID, or MAC

address. DSCP is used as a match criterion for Layer 3 packets while Cost

of Service (CoS) is used as a match criterion for Layer 2 frames. You can

add multiple class maps, typically each with unique matching criterion, to

one policy map. It is important to note that class map settings apply to

ingress traffic only.

A policy map allows you to set actions on traffic that meet all of the match

criterion contained in the class maps. In other words, once you have

defined the traffic that you want to filter, you decide what you want to do

with that traffic. There are three choices, you can permit the specified

traffic, you can deny the specified traffic, or you can monitor the specified

traffic by copying it to a port mirror. The classified traffic in a policy map is

denied by default. After you have added the desired class maps to a policy

map, you associate the policy map with an interface to make the filter

active.

In addition, a default class map is provided to save time when configuring

QoS. A default class map enables you to specify the action that applies to

all unclassified traffic within a policy map. You can choose from permit,

deny, or copy to a mirror port.

Once you create a policy map populated with one or more class maps,

you can apply other QoS settings to traffic, as described in the following

sections.

Single-rate and

Twin-rate Policer

There are two types of policers available in QoS, single-rate and twin-rate.

If traffic does not conform to the conditions set in a policer command, both

the single-rate and twin-rate policer can either drop or remark traffic. A

single-rate policer allows you to determine the following:

Committed Information Rate (CIR)

Committed burst size (CBS)

Excess Burst Size (EBS)

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1627

A twin-rate policer allows you to determine the CIR and CBS as well as

two additional values:

Peak Information Rate (PIR)

Peak Burst Size (PBS)

Aggregate Policer An aggregate policer is a named policer with an aggregate, or collective,

name that you can assign to multiple policy maps.There are two types of

police aggregators, single-rate and twin-rate. The single-rate and twin-rate

aggregate policers have the same settings as described in the previous

section.

Egress Queues In addition to setting filtering on ingress queues, you can set QoS egress

queues on a port. The egress queue settings include classifying data and

marking it according to its priority and, finally, how metering is applied.

After the data packets have been appropriately filtered, classified, and

policed, they travel across the switch’s internal paths carrying their

assigned QoS tag markers— DSCP, CoS, and bandwidth color. At the

egress port, these markers are read and used to determine which queue

each data packet is forwarded to.

There are eight egress queues allocated to each egress port. By default,

all queues on all ports are serviced in strict priority order. This means that

the highest numbered priority queue, queue 7, is emptied first. When

queue 7 is completely empty, the next highest priority queue, queue 6, is

processed. This process is continued until you reach queue 0. For a strict

priority queue to be processed, all higher priority queues must be empty.

In addition, you can configure the egress queues to the Weighted Round

Robin (WRR) scheduling method. With this method, you define the

number of packets transmitted from each queue before going on to the

next queue, so that each queue has the opportunity to transmit traffic.

Usually, you give a greater weight to the higher priority queues.

Auto-QoS Auto-QoS support is an intelligent macro that permits you to enter one

command that enables the recommended QoS settings on edge and

uplink ports automatically. This feature permits you to enable QoS on a

port without having to enter the individual commands; consequently,

saving you time. There are two types of Auto-QoS scenarios, without

LLDP-MED phone-port support and with LLDP-MED phone-port support.

Both Auto-QoS configuration and manual QoS configuration can coexist

on the switch as long as their settings do not conflict.

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1628

Enabling QoS on the Switch

By default, the QoS feature is disabled on the switch. You must enable the

QoS feature before you attempt any QoS configuration.

To enable the QoS feature on the switch, do the following:

Table 190. Enabling QoS on the Switch

Command Description

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive mode from the User

Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# mls qos enable Enable the QoS feature on the switch.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1629

Creating a Class Map

To define filtering criteria, you need to create a class map. You create a

class map and then add it to a policy map to define an action for the

matched traffic. (This is the example shown in this section.) Or, you can

create a class map after you create a policy map. It is important to

understand that class maps filter incoming packets only.

For more information about the CLASS-MAP command, see “CLASS-

MAP” on page 1601.

The following example creates a class map named “cmap1” and enters the

Class Map mode. It is only within the Class Map mode that you can add

filters to the class map.

The following sections describe the extensive list of filtering options

available within a class map and provide configuration examples:

“Filtering Incoming Traffic” on page 1629

“Filtering Procedures” on page 1630

Filtering

Incoming Traffic

After you create a class map, you want to filter incoming traffic by placing

matching criteria on the class map. All of the QoS filtering commands

begin with “MATCH.” There are ten commands that allow you to set

matching criteria for a class map. See Table 192.

Table 191. Creating a Class Map

Command Description

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive mode from the User

Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enter the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# class-map cmap1 Creates a class map called “cmap1” and enters the

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1630

Note

If a conflict occurs between the settings in two class maps assigned

to the same policy map, priority is given to the class map that was

attached to the policy map first. An example of this type of conflict

occurs when a packet meets the classification requirements of two

class maps each configured to the same policy map and set to apply

two different priority settings to the packets.

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1632

Adding a CoS Value to a Class Map

Choosing the CoS value allows you to add the user priority level to a class

map as a matching criterion. You assign a CoS value according to the

type of traffic that you want to filter, such as voice traffic. Then you add the

CoS value to a class map with the MATCH COS command. For more

information about this command, see “MATCH COS” on page 1609.

Table 195 provides a summary of guidelines from the IEEE Standard

802.1d on applying priorities to traffic types.

The following example creates a class map, “cmap7,” which matches all

traffic with a user-priority level equal to 5:

awplus(config-cmap)# match cos 5 Adds the CoS value of 5 as a matching criteria to

class map “cmap7.”

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1633

Adding a DSCP Value to a Class Map

You can specify a DSCP value level of 0, which is the lowest priority, to 63,

which is the highest priority. Use the MATCH DSCP command to add a

DSCP value as a matching criteria to a class map. For more information,

see “MATCH DSCP” on page 1611.

The following example adds a DSCP value of 63 as a match criteria to the

class map named “cmap5:”

Adding IPv4 Precedence to a Class Map

To identify the precedence values of all IPv4 packets as match criteria for

a class map, use the MATCH IP-PRECEDENCE command. For more

information about this command, see “MATCH IP-PRECEDENCE” on

page 1614.

In this example, a class map, named “cmap2,” evaluates all IPv4 packets

for a precedence value of 5:

Table 197. Adding an DSCP Value to a Class Map

Command Description

awplus> enable Enters the Privileged Executive mode from the

User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enters the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# class-map cmap5 Creates a class map called cmap5 and enters the

Class Map mode.

awplus(config-cmap)# match dscp 63 Adds the DSCP value of 63 as a matching criteria

to class map cmap5.

Command Description

awplus> enable Enters the Privileged Executive mode from the

User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enters the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# class-map cmap2 Creates a class map called “cmap2” and enters the

Class Map mode.

awplus(config-cmap)# match ip-

precedence 5

Adds an IP precedence value of 5 as a matching

criteria to the class map “cmap2.”

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1634

Adding MAC-Type to a Class Map

To add the destination MAC address type, or MAC-type, to a class map,

use the MATCH MAC-TYPE command. With this command, you can

specify broadcast, multicast, or unicast MAC-types. For more information

about this command, see “MATCH MAC-TYPE” on page 1615.

In this example, a class map, named “cmap7” evaluates destination MAC

addresses with the broadcast MAC-type:

Adding an Ethernet Format and Protocol to a Class Map

To add an Ethernet format and a protocol as a matching criteria to a class

map, use the MATCH PROTOCOL command. The packets from the

specified Ethernet format and frames from the specified protocol that you

add to the class map are filtered. For more information about this

command, see “MATCH PROTOCOL” on page 1617.

In this example, a class map, named “cmap7,” is set to match incoming

802.2 untagged packets and IP frames:

Table 199. Adding a MAC-type to a Class Map

Command Description

awplus> enable Enters the Privileged Executive mode from the

User Executive mode.

awplus# configure terminal Enters the Global Configuration mode.

awplus(config)# class-map cmap7 Creates a class map called cmap7 and enters the

Adds the 802.2 untagged packets in Ethernet

format and the IP protocol as matching criteria to

the class map.

AT-FS970M Switch Command Line User’s Guide

1635

Adding a TCP Flag to a Class Map

To set TCP flags for a class map which are used as matching criteria, use

the MATCH TCP-FLAGS command. For more information about this

command, see “MATCH TCP-FLAGS” on page 1622.

In this example, a class map, named “cmap7,” matches incoming packets

that contain both the Acknowledge and Reset TCP flags:

Adding a VLAN to a Class Map

To create a class-map called “cmap7” and add VLAN 3 as a match criteria

for incoming traffic, do the following:

awplus(config-cmap)# match vlan 3 Adds VLAN 3 as a match criterion for incoming

traffic.

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1636

Creating a Policy Map

After you have created one or more class maps, you need to create a

policy map which allows you to group class maps together. A policy map

allows you to set actions on traffic that meet all of the match criterion

contained in the class maps. Typically, you create a policy map that

contains class maps with uniquely defined criterion.

In the case of conflicting match criterion, the precedence value of the class

maps is determined by the order they are assigned to the policy map. The

first class map assigned to a policy map has precedence over the second

class map added to the policy map and so on. To display the order that

class maps are assigned to a policy map, use the SHOW POLICY MAP

command. See “SHOW POLICY-MAP” on page 1665.

Another important aspect of a policy map is that you can assign it to a port.

(You cannot assign a class map directly to a port.) When you assign a

policy map to a port, you apply all of the match criterion contained in the

class maps to the port.

You can assign up to 5 class maps to one policy map with the POLICY-

MAP command. For more information about this command, see “POLICY-

MAP” on page 1657.

The following example creates a policy map called “pmap1”, enters the

Policy Map Configuration mode, and adds a description of “Video traffic” to

this policy.

Table 203. Creating a Policy Map

Command Description

awplus> enable Enter the Privileged Executive mode from the User

Associating a

Class Map With a

Policy Map

To associate a class map to a policy map, use the CLASS command. For

more information about this command, see “CLASS” on page 1599.

The following example creates a policy map called pmap1, then

associates pmap1 to a class map called “cmap1:”

Assigning a

Policy Map to a

Port

A policy map can be applied to one or more ports. Please note that

AT-FS970M switches accept only one policy map per each port.

You assign a policy map to a port with the SERVICE-POLICY INPUT

command. For more information about this command, see “SERVICE-

POLICY INPUT” on page 1663.

The following example assigns policy map “pmap1” to port 5:

Table 204. Associating a Class Map with a Policy Map

awplus(config-if)# service-policy

input pmap1

Assigns the policy map “pmap1” to port 5.

Chapter 98: Quality of Service (QoS)

1638

Configuring Default Class Maps

Each time you create a new policy map, a new class map called default is

created automatically and assigned to the policy map. A default class map

enables you to specify the action that applies to all unclassified traffic

within a policy map. This unclassified traffic is comprised of all traffic within

a policy-map that is independent of the class maps within a policy map.

Using default class maps simplifies QoS configuration. First, specify what

you want to filter in the class maps. Then, configure the default class map

with one of the following settings:

Permit unspecified traffic. This is the default setting.

Deny unspecified traffic.

Copy unspecified traffic to the mirrored port.

You configure the default action of the default class map with the

DEFAULT-ACTION command. For more information about this command,

see “DEFAULT-ACTION” on page 1602.

The following example sets the action of the default class map to deny

packets of unclassified data within a policy map.

Table 206. Creating a Default Class Map

Command Description

Prioritizing CoS and DSCP

By default, the DSCP field in Layer 3 packets and the CoS field in Layer 2

frames are ignored by the software. In addition, Trust CoS is enabled by

default. To map a DSCP value to a queue on an egress port, use the

TRUST DSCP command, which is located in the Class Map mode. See

Table 207 and Table 208 for the default mappings. As you can see from

the tables, the highest egress queue is seven, which is assigned the

highest, CoS or DSCP, value.

Allied Telesis recommends using the default mappings listed in Table 207

on page 1639 and Table 208, “DSCP Default Mapping” on page 1639.

However, you can change them using the MLS QOS MAP COS-QUEUE

or MLS QOS MAP DSCP-QUEUE commands. For more information about

these commands, see “MLS QOS MAP COS-QUEUE” on page 1634 or

“MLS QOS MAP DSCP-QUEUE” on page 1636.

When you set a port to trust DSCP frames, the CoS value in the VLAN tag

field is remarked. This occurs only if the egress port is tagged. For

example, using the default DSCP settings in Table 208 on page 1639, a

trust DSCP value of 46 on the ingress port causes it to egress on queue 5.

As a result, the CoS frame will be remarked to 5. This switch behavior

exists so a packet carries both Layer 2 CoS packets and Layer 3 DSCP

frames as it is passed downstream through the network.

Note

If the frame is not set to egress as a tagged frame, the CoS value is

not an issue, because in this case, the entire VLAN tag is stripped

off the frame.

The procedure to enable DSCP frames is provided below. For more

information about these commands, see “TRUST DSCP” on page 1680.

This example enables the DSCP-queue map lookup for prioritization by

setting TRUST DSCP within a policy map named “pmap1” and a class

map named “cmap1:”

Creating Single-rate and Twin-rate Policers

A policer can be used to meter the traffic classified by a class map and, as

a result, non-conforming traffic is given a red bandwidth class:

There are two types of policers, single-rate and twin-rate. A single-rate

policer allows you to determine the following:

Committed Information Rate (CIR)

Committed burst size (CBS)

Excess Burst Size (EBS)

A twin-rate policer allows you to determine the CIR and CBS as well as

two additional values:

CIR

CBS

Peak Information Rate (PIR)

Peak Burst Size (PBS)

If traffic does not conform to the conditions set in the command, both the

single-rate and twin-rate policer can either drop or remark traffic. There are

two commands that allow you create policers, POLICE SINGLE-RATE

ACTION and POLICE TWIN-RATE ACTION. See Table 210.

For more information about these commands, see “POLICE SINGLE-

RATE ACTION” on page 1651 and “POLICE TWIN-RATE ACTION” on

page 1654.

Creating a Single-rate Policer

The following example configures a single-rate policer requiring traffic to

conform to a CIR of 10,000 Kbps, a CBS of 14,000 bytes, and an Excess

burst size of 20,000 bytes. This policer drops traffic that does not conform

to the set conditions.

Creating a Twin-rate Policer

The following example configures a twin-rate policer requiring traffic to

conform to a CIR of 10,000 Kbps, a PIR of 20,000 Kbps, a CBS of 30,000

bytes, and a PBS of 50,000 bytes. This policer remarks traffic if it does not

conform to the set conditions.

Creating an Aggregate Policer

An aggregate policer is a named policer with an aggregate name that you

can assign to multiple policy maps. You can create either a single-rate or

twin-rate aggregate policer in the Policy Map Configuration mode. There

are three commands that allow you to set the aggregator policer. See

Table 213.

For more information about these commands, see:

“MLS QOS AGGREGATE-POLICE SINGLE-RATE” on page 1625.

“MLS QOS AGGREGATE-POLICE TWIN-RATE” on page 1628

“POLICE AGGREGATE” on page 1649

In the following example, a single-rate aggregate policer, “policyagg1,” is

created with the MLS QOS AGGREGATE-POLICE SINGLE-RATE

command. Within this command, the CIR is 125 Kbps, the CBS is 30,000

bytes, and the EBS is 60,000 bytes. The action is set to policed-dscp-

transmit which modifies packets using the policed-dscp map and then

sends the packets. Then the aggregate policer name is associated with

class maps “cmap1” and “cmap2” with the POLICE AGGREGATE

command:

Configuring the Egress Queues

This section discusses a port’s egress queues, including how incoming

data are classified and marked according to priority and allocated to an

egress queue and, finally, how metering is applied. After the data packets

have been appropriately filtered, classified, and policed, they travel across

the switch’s internal paths carrying their assigned QoS tag markers—

DSCP, CoS, and bandwidth color. At the egress port, these markers are

read and used to determine which queue each data packet is forwarded

to.
