Some commands, such as show network and clear vlan, do not require parameters. Other
commands, such as network parms, require that you supply a value after the command. You
must type the parameter values in a specific order, and optional parameters follow required
parameters. The following example describes the network parms command syntax:
• network parms is the command name.
• and are parameters and represent required values that you must
enter after you type the command keywords.
• [gateway] is an optional keyword, so you are not required to enter a value in place of the
keyword.
The Command Line Reference lists each command by the command name and provides a brief
description of the command. Each command reference also contains the following information:
• Format shows the command keywords and the required and optional parameters.
• Mode identifies the command mode you must be in to access the command.
• Default shows the default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.
The show commands also contain a description of the information that the command shows.
Command Conventions
In this document, the command name and keywords are noted in the following ways:
• In descriptive text:
Command names in bold font. Keywords are in bold font. Parameters (which are also
referred to as arguments) are in italic font and placed between angle brackets (<>). You
must replace the parameter name with an appropriate value, which might be a name or
number. Parameters are order-dependent.
• In tables describing the command format, mode, and, if applicable, default:
Command names in regular font. Keywords are in regular font. Parameters are in italic
font and placed between angle brackets (<>). You must replace the parameter name with an
appropriate value, which might be a name or number. Parameters are order-dependent.
The parameters for a command might include mandatory values, optional values, or keyword
choices. Table
1 describes the conventions this document uses to distinguish between value
types.

Common Parameter Values
Parameter values might be names (strings) or numbers. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose the name value in double quotes. For example, the expression “System Name
with Spaces” forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings (““) are not valid
user-defined strings. Table
2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.

a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal formats through
the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal, or decimal number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)

11
ProSAFE M7100 Managed Switches
Slot/Port Naming Convention
Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a
slot/port naming convention. The software also uses this convention to identify certain logical
entities, such as Port-Channel interfaces.
The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card containing the
ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of interface or port.
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given slot.
Note: In the CLI, loopback and tunnel interfaces do not use the slot/port
format. To specify a loopback interface, you use the loopback ID. To
specify a tunnel interface, you use the tunnel ID.
Logical Interface
Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG).
You can use the logical slot/port to configure the port-channel.
Character strings
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System Name with
Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
Table 3. Type of Slots
Slot Type
Description
Physical slot numbers
Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the maximum number
of physical slots.
Logical slot numbers
Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-channel (LAG) or
router interfaces.
CPU slot numbers
The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
Table 4. Type of Ports
Port Type
Description
Physical Ports
The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from zero.
Logical Interfaces
Port-channel or link aggregation group (LAG) interfaces are logical interfaces that
are only used for bridging functions.
VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions.
Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces that are always up.
Tunnel interfaces are logical point-to-point links that carry encapsulated packets.
CPU ports
CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on
physical slots.

Using a Command’s “No” Form
The no keyword is a specific form of an existing command and does not represent a new or
distinct command. Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, use the no
form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back to the default. For example, the no
shutdown configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the command
without the keyword no to reenable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by
default. Only the configuration commands are available in the no form.
Managed Switch Modules
Managed switch software consists of flexible modules that can be applied in various combinations
to develop advanced Layer 2/3/4+ products. The commands and command modes available on
your switch depend on the installed modules. Additionally, for some show commands, the output
fields might change based on the modules included in the software.
The software suite includes the following modules:
• Switching (Layer 2)
• Routing (Layer 3)
• IPv6—IPv6 routing
• Multicast
• Quality of Service
• Management (CLI, web UI, and SNMP)
• IPv6 Management—Allows management of the device through an IPv6 through an IPv6
address without requiring the IPv6 Routing package in the system. The management address
can be associated with the network port (front-panel switch ports) and a routine interface
(port or VLAN).
• Stacking
Not all modules are available for all platforms or software releases.
Command Modes
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command
modes supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not available until
you switch to that particular mode, except for the User EXEC mode commands. You can execute
the User EXEC mode commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
The command prompt changes in each command mode to help you identify the current mode.
Table
5 describes the command modes and the prompts visible in that mode.
Use the Command-Line Interface
13
ProSAFE M7100 Managed Switches
Note: The command modes available on your switch depend on the software
modules that are installed. For example, a switch that does not support
BGPv4 does not have the Router BGPv4 Command Mode.

Use this command to create an alpha-numeric description of the port.
mtu
Use the mtu command to set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, in bytes, for frames
that ingress or egress the interface. You can use the mtu command to configure jumbo frame
support for physical and port-channel (LAG) interfaces. For the standard 7000 series
implementation, the MTU size is a valid integer between 1522–9216 for tagged packets and a
valid integer between 1518–9216 for untagged packets.
Note: To receive and process packets, the Ethernet MTU must include any
extra bytes that Layer-2 headers might require. To configure the IP
MTU size, which is the maximum size of the IP packet (IP Header + IP
payload), see ip mtu on page

Use this command to display the local administrative link advertisement configuration, local
operational link advertisement, and the link partner advertisement for an interface. It also
displays priority Resolution for speed and duplex as per 802.3 Annex 28B.3. It displays the
autonegotiation state, Phy Master/Slave Clock configuration, and Link state of the port.
If the link is down, the Clock is displayed as No Link, and a dash is displayed against the Oper Peer
advertisement, and Priority Resolution. If autonegotiation is disabled, the admin Local Link
advertisement, operational local link advertisement, operational peer advertisement, and Priority
resolution fields are not displayed.
If this command is executed without the optional slot/port parameter, it displays the
autonegotiation state and operational Local link advertisement for all the ports. Operational link
advertisement will display speed only if it is supported by both local as well as link partner. If
autonegotiation is disabled, operational local link advertisement is not displayed.

Voice VLAN Commands
This section describes the commands you use for Voice VLAN. Voice VLAN enables switch ports
to carry voice traffic with defined priority to enable separation of voice and data traffic coming
onto the port. The benefits of using a voice VLAN are to ensure that the sound quality of an IP
phone is safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the port is high.
Also the inherent isolation provided by VLANs ensures that inter-VLAN traffic is under
management control and that network- attached clients cannot initiate a direct attack on voice
components. QoS-based on IEEE 802.1P Class of Service (CoS) uses classification and scheduling
to sent network traffic from the switch in a predictable manner. The system uses the source MAC
of the traffic traveling through the port to identify the IP phone data flow.

Flow Control Commands
In 802.3x flow control, the MAC control PAUSE operation is specified in IEEE 802.3 Annex 31 B.
It allows traffic from one device to be throttled for a specified period of time and is defined for
devices that are directly connected. A device that needs to inhibit transmission of data frames
from another device on the LAN transmits a PAUSE frame as defined in the IEEE specification.
This feature allows the user to configure the switch to use symmetric, asymmetric, or no flow
control. Asymmetric flow control allows the switch to respond to received PAUSE frames, but the
port cannot generate PAUSE frames. Symmetric flow control allows the switch to both respond
to and generate MAC control PAUSE frames.
flowcontrol
Use this command to enable or disable the symmetric or asymmetric flow control on the switch.
Use the no form of command to disable the symmetric or asymmetric flow control. Asymmetric
here means that Tx Pause can never be enabled. Only Rx Pause can be enabled.

Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which are also known
as link aggregation groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple full-duplex
Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single
link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. The LAG feature initially load
shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address. Assign the port-channel
(LAG) VLAN membership after you create a port-channel. If you do not assign VLAN
membership, the port-channel might become a member of the management VLAN which can
result in learning and switching issues.
A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a
port channel must participate in the same protocols.) A static port-channel interface does not
require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Note: If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels
(LAGs) that your platform supports, additional port-channels that you
configure are automatically static.
addport
This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG). The interface is a logical slot/port
number or a group ID of a configured port-channel.
Note: Before adding a port to a port-channel, set the physical mode of the
port. For more information, see speed on page
25.

packet, and associating that pattern with a particular link.
Load-balancing is not supported on every device. The range of options for load-balancing can
vary per device. The managed switch also supports enhanced hashing mode, which has the
following advantages:
• MODULO-N (where N is the number of active link members in a LAG) operation based on the
number of ports in the LAG
• Packet attributes selection based on the packet type: For L2 packets, source and destination
MAC address are used for hash computation. For L3 packets, source IP, destination IP
address, TCP/UDP ports are used.
• Non-Unicast traffic and unicast traffic is hashed using a common hash algorithm
• Excellent load balancing performance.

Multichassis LAG Commands
In a Layer 2 network, a multichassis link aggregation group (MLAG) can provide a better
convergency period and bandwidth than STP. If a port-channel member goes down, the MLAG
provides a quicker convergence period than STP. An MLAG also provides more bandwidth than
STP because all links across multiple devices can be used to handle traffic.
With link aggregation, multiple links between two switches are bundled together in a link
aggregation group (LAG). The advantages of link aggregation are that all member links are in the
forwarding state, and a link failure does not cause any significant disruption because it takes less
than one second for the LAG to resolve a link failure.
An MLAG extends these advantages across multiple devices. An MLAG allows links that are on
two different switches to pair with links on a partner device. The partner device does not detect
that it is pairing with two devices to form a LAG. The advantages of multichassis link aggregation
are that all links can carry data traffic, and a device failure does not cause any significant
disruption because it takes less than one second for an MLAG to resolve the failure and to allow
the traffic in the network to resume.

the MLAG role election. The priority value is sent to the peer in the MLAG keep-alive messages.
The configurable range for priority is 1-255.
An MLAG switch with a lower priority becomes the primary switch and an MLAG switch with a
higher priority becomes the secondary switch. If both the MLAG peer switches have the same
role priority, the switch with the lower system MAC address becomes the primary switch.
Note: Even if the keep-alive priority is modified after the election of the
MLAG role, the keep-alive state machine is not restarted.
no role priority
This command resets the keep-alive priority to the default value of 100.
peer-keepalive timeout
This command configures the peer keep-alive timeout value in seconds. The configurable range
for the keep-alive timeout value is 2 to 15 seconds.
If an MLAG switch does not receive keep-alive messages from the peer when the timeout value is
exceeded, the MLAG switch might transition to another MLAG role.
Note: Even if the keep-alive priority is modified after the election of the
MLAG role, the keep-alive state machine is not restarted.

peer-keepalive enable
If MLAG is globally enabled, this command starts the keep-alive state machine on the MLAG
switch.
no peer-keepalive enable
This command stops the keep-alive state machine on the MLAG switch.
peer-keepalive destination
This command configures the destination IP address of the peer MLAG switch and the source IP
address for the local MLAG switch. This configuration is used by the dual control plane detection
protocol (DCPDP) on the MLAG switches. You can also use this command to configure the UDP
port through which the MLAG switch detects DCPDP messages. The configurable range for the
UDP port 1 to 65535.
After you have specified the IP addresses for the MLAG peers, you need to enter the peer
detection enable command.

peer detection enable
This command enables the dual control plane detection protocol (DCPDC) on an MLAG switch.
For the DCPDP to start on an MLAG switch, you first have to configure the IP addresses of the
peer MLAG switches with the peer-keepalive destination command.
no peer detection enable
This command disabled the dual control plane detection protocol (DCPDC) on an MLAG switch.
vpc
This command configures a port channel as part of an MLAG. When you enter this command, the
port channel remains down until the port-channel member information is exchanged and agreed
upon between the MLAG peer switches. You need to enter the ID of the port channel that you
want to configure.
no vpc
This command removes a port channel from an MLAG. You need to enter the ID of the port
channel that you want to remove.

Port Mirroring Commands
Port mirroring, which is also known as port monitoring, selects network traffic that you can
analyze with a network analyzer, such as a SwitchProbe device or other Remote Monitoring
(RMON) probe.
In additional to the port mirroring, VLAN-based mirroring, remote switched port analyzer
(RSPAN)-based and flow-based mirroring are also supported.
VLAN-based mirroring allows traffic to and from a configured VLAN to be mirrored. That is, all
packets that are transmitted and received on all the physical ports that are members of that
particular VLAN are mirrored.
RSPAN-based mirroring allows mirrored traffic to be sent to the remote analyzer across the
entire Layer 2 network.
Flow-based mirroring allows ACLs to be attached to the mirroring session. The network traffic
that matches the ACL is only sent to the destination port. This feature is also supported for
remote monitoring. You can attach an IP ACL or MAC ACL to a mirroring session.
Note: ACL attributes (redirect, mirror, log, rate-limit, assign-queue,
time-range) are not supported when applied to a mirroring session.
monitor session source
The command configures a source port to be mirrored. You can define the source as an interface
(a particular port, the CPU, or a LAG), as a local VLAN, or as a remote VLAN. You can also specify
whether only ingress or egress packets need to be monitored.
The parameter is an integer value that is used to identify the session. However,
you always need to enter 1 for the parameter.
Remote port mirroring is configured by specifying the RSPAN VLAN ID. At the source switch, you
configure the destination as an RSPAN VLAN, and at the destination switch, you configure the
source as an RSPAN VLAN.
Note:
For an RSPAN VLAN, you cannot configure both the source and the destination as
a remote VLAN on the same device.
Default
You need to enter 1 for the parameter.

cpu | lag } | vlan | remote vlan }
