Preface
This preface provides an overview of this guide, describes guide conventions, and lists other publications that may be useful.

Introduction
This guide provides the complete syntax for all the commands available in the currently supported versions of the ExtremeWare XOS software running on modular switches from Extreme Networks. This guide is intended for use as a reference by network administrators who are responsible for installing and setting up network equipment. It assumes knowledge of Extreme Networks switch configuration. For conceptual information and guidance on configuring Extreme Networks switches, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide for your version of the ExtremeWare XOS software.

Terminology
When features, functionality, or operation is specific to a switch family, the family name is used. Explanations about features and operations that are the same across all product families simply refer to the product as the switch.

Conventions
This sections discusses the conventions used in this guide.

Platform-dependent Conventions
Each command has a separate entry for platform availability, which addresses which platforms support the entire feature. In many cases, although the command is available on all platforms, each platform uses specific keywords. These keywords specific to each platform are shown in the Syntax Description and discussed in the Usage Guidelines.

Command Reference Overview

Structure of this Guide

This guide documents each ExtremeWare XOS command. Related commands are grouped together and organized into chapters based on their most common usage. The chapters reflect the organization of the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. If a specific command is relevant to a wide variety of functions and could be included in a number of different chapters, we have attempted to place the command in the most logical chapter. Within each chapter, commands appear in alphabetical order. You can use the Index of Commands to locate specific commands if they do not appear where you expect to find them. For each command, the following information is provided:

Command SyntaxThe actual syntax of the command. The syntax conventions (the use of braces or curly brackets, for example) are defined in the section Understanding the Command Syntax on page 34. DescriptionA brief (one sentence) summary of what the command does. Syntax DescriptionThe definition of any keywords and options used in the command. DefaultThe defaults, if any, for this command. The default can be the default action of the command if optional arguments are not provided, or it can be the default state of the switch (such as for an enable/disable command). Usage GuidelinesInformation to help you use the command. This may include prerequisites, prohibitions, and related commands, as well as other information. ExampleExamples of the command usage, including output, if relevant. HistoryThe version of ExtremeWare XOS in which the command was introduced, and version(s) where it was modified, if appropriate.

Platforms and Required Software Versions

ExtremeWare XOS is the full-featured software operating system that is designed to run on the Extreme Networks devices. ExtremeWare XOS supports the following platforms: BlackDiamond 10800 family of switchesExtremeWare XOS 10.1 and higher

BlackDiamond 8810 switch (formerly known as Aspen)ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 and higher Summit X450 switchExtremeWare XOS 11.2 and higher BlackDiamond 8806 switchExtremeWare XOS 11.3.1 and higher

Software Licensing
NOTE
Information on required licensing is in the Platform Availability section for each command. If there is not licensing information for the command, you do not need a license.

32

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Software Licensing As all switches ship with Advanced Edge capabilities, two level of software licensing apply to ExtremeWare XOS 11.3: the Core and the Advanced Core license (refer to Table 3). Additionally, the U.S. government requires a security license to enable certain features.

Table 3: Licensing requirements for ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3

License level Advanced Edge Core Advanced Core BlackDiamond 10K switch Ships (as part of Core license) Ships MSM 1N/A MSM1XLShips BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches Ships Requires license N/A Summit X450 switch Ships Requires license N/A

NOTE
With ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.2, BGP functionality moved from the Advanced Core license level to the Core license. You have BGP functionality with a Core license.

When you are working with modular switches, the license belongs with the switch chassis, not with the particular MSM module. The licensing levels required for each feature, if any, are outlined in the discussion of each feature. If licensing is not mentioned, the full functionality of that feature is available on every switch.

License Levels
This section discusses the licensing capabilities of the various switches.

Upgrading on the BlackDiamond 8800 Family of Switches and Summit X450 Switch Only
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch ship with an Advanced Edge license. With ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, you can obtain the Core license for these switches. The Core license provides additional functionality for some features, as well as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) functionality, on the switches. The Advanced Core license is not available for the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches or the Summit X450 switch. Once you obtain a license, you cannot downgrade licenses. The license key contains all the necessary information on the license level.

NOTE
Refer to the specific chapter of the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide to determine if the Core license is required for some functionality. If not noted, all functionality is available, and license is not required.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

33

Command Reference Overview If you attempt to execute a command and you do not either have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:
Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level. Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.

Upgrading on the BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only

The licensing levels on the BlackDiamond 10K switch depend on the MSM you have in your system:

The MSM 1 ships with a Core license; you cannot upgrade to an Advanced Core license. The MSM 1XL ships with an Advanced Core license. NOTE

Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2, you can run BGP with a core license on the BlackDiamond 10K switch; that is both the MSM1 and the MSM1XL now run BGP.

If you attempt to execute a command and you do not either have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:
Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level. Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.

Enabling and Displaying Licenses

To enable the license, use the following command:
enable license <key>

To display the current license level (as well as enabled feature packs), use the following command:
show licenses

Security Licensing
Certain additional ExtremeWare XOS features, such as the use of SSH2 encryption, may be under United States export restriction control. Extreme Networks ships these security features in a disabled state. You can obtain information on enabling these features at no charge from Extreme Networks.

Understanding the Command Syntax

This section covers the following topics:

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Understanding the Command Syntax

Access Levels
When entering a command at the prompt, ensure that you have the appropriate privilege level. Most configuration commands require you to have the administrator privilege level.

Syntax Symbols
You may see a variety of symbols shown as part of the command syntax. These symbols explain how to enter the command, and you do not type them as part of the command itself. Table 4 summarizes command syntax symbols.

Table 4: Command syntax symbols

Symbol angle brackets < > Description Enclose a variable or value. You must specify the variable or value. For example, in the syntax configure vlan <vlan_name> ipaddress <ip_address> you must supply a VLAN name for <vlan_name> and an address for <ip_address> when entering the command. Do not type the angle brackets. You may not include spaces within angle brackets. square brackets [ ] Enclose a required value or list of required arguments. One or more values or arguments can be specified. For example, in the syntax use image [primary | secondary] you must specify either the primary or secondary image when entering the command. Do not type the square brackets. vertical bar | Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be entered. For example, in the syntax configure snmp community [readonly | readwrite] <alphanumeric_string> you must specify either the read or write community string in the command. Do not type the vertical bar. braces { } Enclose an optional value or a list of optional arguments. One or more values or arguments can be specified. For example, in the syntax reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec>} {cancel} {warm} {msm <slot_id>} you can specify either a particular date and time combination, or the keyword cancel to cancel a previously scheduled reboot. If you do not specify an argument, the command will prompt asking if you want to reboot the switch now. Do not type the braces.

Command Completion with Syntax Helper

The CLI has a built-in syntax helper. If you are unsure of the complete syntax for a particular command, enter as much of the command as possible and press [Tab]. The syntax helper provides a list of options for the remainder of the command, and places the cursor at the end of the command you have entered so far, ready for the next option. If the command is one where the next option is a named component, such as a VLAN, access profile, or route map, the syntax helper will also list any currently configured names that might be used as the next option. In situations where this list might be very long, the syntax helper will list only one line of names, followed by an ellipses to indicate that there are more names than can be displayed. The syntax helper also provides assistance if you have entered an incorrect command.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Command Reference Overview

Abbreviated Syntax
Abbreviated syntax is the shortest unambiguous allowable abbreviation of a command or parameter. Typically, this is the first three letters of the command. If you do not enter enough letters to allow the switch to determine which command you mean, the syntax helper will provide a list of the options based on the portion of the command you have entered. NOTE
When using abbreviated syntax, you must enter enough characters to make the command unambiguous and distinguishable to the switch.

Names
All named components within a category of the switch configuration, such as VLAN, must have a unique name. Names can be re-used across categories, however. Names must begin with an alphabetical character and cannot contain any spaces. The maximum length for a name is 32 characters. Names may contain alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) and cannot be keywords, such as vlan, stp, and so on. NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), you must specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name.

Command Shortcuts
All named components within a category of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Components are named using the create command. When you enter a command to configure a named component, you do not need to use the keyword of the component. For example, to create a VLAN, you must enter a unique VLAN name:
create vlan engineering

Once you have created the VLAN with a unique name, you can then eliminate the keyword vlan from all other commands that require the name to be entered (unless you used the same name for another category such as STPD or EAPS). For example, instead of entering the modular switch command:
configure vlan engineering delete port 1:3,4:6

you could enter the following shortcut:

configure engineering delete port 1:3,4:6

Port Numbering
Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers use the parameter <port_list> in the syntax. The available variables differ on a stand-alone switch and on a modular switch.

36

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Port Numbering

NOTE
The keyword all acts on all possible ports; it continues on all ports even if one port in the sequence fails.

Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges

Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a stand-alone switch, such as the Summit X450 switch, use the parameter <port_list> in the syntax. A <port_list> can be a single port. For example, port 5 would be:
5

A <port_list> can also be a range of numbers. Separate the port numbers by a dash to enter a range of contiguous numbers, and separate the numbers by a comma to enter a range of noncontiguous numbers:

x-ySpecifies a contiguous series of ports on a stand-alone switch. x,ySpecifies a noncontiguous series of ports on a stand-alone switch. x-y,a,dSpecifies a contiguous series of ports and a noncontiguous series of ports on a stand-alone

switch.

Modular Switch Numerical Ranges

Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a modular switch, such as the BlackDiamond 10K switch, use the parameter <port_list> in the syntax. The syntax for the port and slot is:
port <slot_number>:<port_number>

A <port_list> can be one port on a particular slot. For example, port 1 on slot 3 would be:
port 3:1

A <port_list> can be a range of numbers. For example, ports 1 through 3 on slot 3 would be:
port 3:1-3:3

You can add additional slot and port numbers to the list, separated by a comma:
port 3:1,4:8,6:10

You can specify all ports on a particular slot, using the asterisk (*) wildcard. For example,
port 3:*

indicates all ports on slot 3. You can specify a range of slots and ports. For example,
port 2:3-4:5

indicates slot 2, port 3 through slot 4, port 5.

Commands for Accessing the Switch

This chapter describes commands used for:

Accessing and configuring the switch including how to set up user accounts, passwords, date and time settings, and software licenses Managing passwords Configuring the Domain Name Service (DNS) client Checking basic switch connectivity Enabling and displaying licenses Returning the switch to safe defaults mode

ExtremeWare XOS supports the following two levels of management:

User Administrator

A user-level account has viewing access to all manageable parameters, with the exception of:

User account database SNMP community strings

A user-level account can change the password assigned to the account name and use the ping command to test device reachability. An administrator-level account can view and change all switch parameters. It can also add and delete users and change the password associated with any account name. The administrator can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. If this happens, the user logged on by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated. The DNS client in ExtremeWare XOS augments certain ExtremeWare XOS commands to accept either IP addresses or host names. For example, DNS can be used during a Telnet session when you are accessing a device or when using the ping command to check the connectivity of a device. The switch offers the following commands for checking basic connectivity:

ping traceroute

The ping command enables you to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a remote IP device. The traceroute command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and a destination endstation.

Commands for Accessing the Switch

clear account lockout

clear account [all | <name>] lockout

Description
Re-enables an account that has been locked out (disabled) for exceeding the permitted number failed login attempts, which was configured by using the configure account password-policy lockouton-login-failures command.

Syntax Description
all name Specifies all users. Specifies an account name.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command applies to sessions at the console port of the switch as well as all other sessions. You can re-enable both user and administrative accounts, once they have been disabled for exceeding the 3 failed login attempts. NOTE
The failsafe accounts are never locked out.

This command only clears the locked-out (or disabled) condition of the account. The action of locking out accounts following the failed login attempts remains until you turn it off by issuing the configure account [all | <name>] password-policy lockout-on-login failures off command.

Example
The following command re-enables the account finance, which had been locked out (disabled) for exceeding 3 consecutive failed login attempts:
clear account finance lockout

clear session

clear session
clear session [<sessId> | all]

Description
Terminates a Telnet and/or SSH2 sessions from the switch.

Syntax Description
sessId all Specifies a session number from show session output to terminate. Terminates all sessions.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
An administrator-level account can disconnect a management session that has been established by way of a Telnet connection. You can determine the session number of the session you want to terminate by using the show session command. The show session output displays information about current Telnet and/or SSH2 sessions including:

The session number The login date and time The user name The type of Telnet session Authentication information

Depending on the software version running on your switch, additional session information may be displayed. The session number is the first number displayed in the show session output.

Example
The following command terminates session 4 from the system:

Commands for Accessing the Switch

configure account
configure account <name>

Description
Configures a password for the specified account, either user account or administrative account.

Syntax Description
name Specifies an account name.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must create a user or administrative account before you can configure that account with a password. Use the create account account command to create a user account. The system prompts you to specify a password after you enter this command. You must enter a password for this command; passwords cannot be null. Passwords can have a minimum of 0 character and can have a maximum of 32 characters. Passwords are case-sensitive; user names are not case-sensitive.

NOTE
If the account is configured to require a specific password format, the minimum is 8 characters. See configure account password-policy char-validation for more information.

You must have administrator privileges to change passwords for accounts other than your own.

Example
The following command defines a new password green for the account marketing:
configure account marketing

The switch responds with a password prompt:

password: green

Your keystrokes will not be echoed as you enter the new password. After you enter the password, the switch will then prompt you to reenter it.
Reenter password: green

Assuming you enter it successfully a second time, the password is now changed.

configure account password-policy char-validation

configure account [all | <name>] password-policy char-validation [none | all-char-groups]

Description
Requires that the user include an upper-case letter, a lower-case letter, a digit, and a symbol in the password.

Syntax Description
all name none all-char-groups Specifies all users (and future users). Specifies an account name. Resets password to accept all formats. Specifies that the password must contain at least two characters from each of the four groups. NOTE: The password minimum length will be 8 characters if you specify this option.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This feature is disabled by default. Once you issue this command, each password must include at least two characters of each of the following four types:

Upper-case A-Z Lower-case a-z 0-9 !, @, #, $, %, ^, *, (, )

The minimum number of characters for these specifically formatted passwords is 8 characters and the maximum is 32 characters. Use the none option to reset the password to accept all formats.

Example

Commands for Accessing the Switch

configure account password-policy history

configure account [all | <name>] password-policy history [<num_passwords> | none]

Description
Configures the switch to verify the specified number of previous passwords for the account. The user is prevented from changing the password on a user or administrative account to any of these previously saved passwords.

Syntax Description
all name num_passwords none Specifies all accounts (and future users). Specifies an account name. Specifies the number of previous passwords the system verifies for each account. The range is 1 to 10 passwords. Resets the system to not remember any previous passwords.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to instruct the system to verify new passwords against a list of all previously used passwords, once an account successfully changes a password. The limit is the number of previous passwords that the system checks against in the record to verify the new password. If this parameter is configured, the system returns an error message if a user attempts to change the password to one that is saved by the system (up to the configured limit) for that account; this applies to both user and administrative accounts. This also applies to a configured password on the default admin account on the switch. The limit of previous passwords that the system checks for previous use is configurable from 1 to 10. Using the none option disables previous password tracking and returns the system to the default state of no record of previous passwords.

Example
The following command instructs the system to verify that the new password has not been used as a password in the previous 5 passwords for the account engineering:
configure account engineering password-policy history 5

configure account password-policy lockout-on-loginfailures

configure account [all | <name>] password-policy lockout-on-login-failures [on | off]

Description
Disables an account after the user has 3 consecutive failed login attempts.

Syntax Description
all name on off Specifies all users (and future users). Specifies an account name. Specifies an account name. Resets the password to never lockout the user.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you are not working on SSH, you can configure the number of failed logins that trigger lockout, using the configure cli max-failed-logins <num-of-logins> command. This command applies to sessions at the console port of the switch as well as all other sessions and to user-level and administrator-level accounts. This command locks out the user after 3 consecutive failed login attempts; the users account must be specifically re-enabled by an administrator. Using the off option resets the account to allow innumerable consecutive failed login attempts, which is the system default. The system default is that 3 failed consecutive login attempts terminate the particular session, but the user may launch another session; there is no lockout feature by default.

NOTE
The failsafe accounts are never locked out, no matter how many consecutive failed login attempts.

Example
The following command enables the account finance for lockout. After 3 consecutive failed login attempts, the account is subsequently locked out:
configure account finance password-policy lockout-on-login-failures on

configure account password-policy max-age

configure account [all | <name>] password-policy max-age [<num_days> | none]

Description
Configures a time limit for the passwords for specified accounts. The passwords for the default admin account and the failsafe account do not age out.

Syntax Description
all name num_days none Specifies all accounts (and future users). Specifies an account name. Specifies the length of time that a password can be used. The range is 1 to 365 days. Resets the password to never expire.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The passwords for the default admin account and the failsafe account never expire. The time limit is specified in days, from 1 to 365 days. Existing sessions are not closed when the time limit expires; it will not open the next time the user attempts to log in. When a user logs into an account with an expired password, the system first verifies that the entered password had been valid prior to expiring and then prompts the user to change the password.

NOTE
This is the sole time that a user with a user-level (opposed to an administrator-level) account can make any changes to the user-level account.

Using the none option prevents the password for the specified account from ever expiring (it resets the password to the system default of no time limit).

configure account password-policy min-length

configure account [all | <name>] password-policy min-length [<num_characters> | none]

Description
Requires a minimum number of characters for passwords.

Syntax Description
all name num_characters Specifies all accounts (and future users). Specifies an account name. Specifies the minimum number of characters required for the password. The range is 1 to 32 characters. NOTE: If you configure the configure account password-policy char-validation parameter, the minimum length is 8 characters. none Resets password to accept a minimum of 0 characters. NOTE: If you configure the configure account password-policy char-validation parameter, the minimum length is 8 characters.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure a minimum length restriction for all passwords for specified accounts. This command affects the minimum allowed length for the next password; the current password is unaffected. The minimum password length is configurable from 1 to 32 characters. Using the none option disables the requirement of minimum password length and returns the system to the default state (password minimum is 0 by default).

NOTE
If the account is configured to require a specific password format, the minimum is 8 characters. See configure account password-policy char-validation for more information.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure timezone

Usage Guidelines
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server updates are distributed using GMT time. To properly display the local time in logs and other timestamp information, the switch should be configured with the appropriate offset to GMT based on geographic location. The gmt_offset is specified in +/- minutes from the GMT time. Automatic DST changes can be enabled or disabled. The default configuration, where DST begins on the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM and ends the last Sunday in October at 2:00 AM, applies to most of North America, and can be configured with the following syntax: configure timezone <gmt_offst> autodst. The starting and ending date and time for DST may be specified, as these vary in time zones around the world.

Use the every keyword to specify a year-after-year repeating set of dates (for example, the last Sunday in March every year) Use the on keyword to specify a non-repeating, specific date for the specified year. If you use this option, you will need to specify the command again every year. The begins specification defaults to every first sunday april. The ends specification defaults to every last sunday october. The ends date may occur earlier in the year than the begins date. This will be the case for countries in the Southern Hemisphere. If you specify only the starting or ending time (not both) the one you leave unspecified will be reset to its default. The time_of_day specification defaults to 2:00. The timezone IDs are optional. They are used only in the display of timezone configuration information in the show switch command.

To disable automatic DST changes, re-specify the GMT offset using the noautodst option:
configure timezone <gmt_offst> noautodst.

NTP updates are distributed using GMT time. To properly display the local time in logs and other timestamp information, the switch should be configured with the appropriate offset to GMT based on geographical location. Table 6 describes the GMT offsets.

With ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.2, BGP functionality moved from the Advanced Core license level to the Core license. You have BGP functionality with a Core license.

To obtain a license, specify the key in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. You obtain the license key either by ordering it from the factory or by obtaining a license voucher from your Extreme Networks supplier. You can obtain a regular license; you cannot downgrade licenses. The voucher contains all the necessary information on the license level and on obtaining the software license key using the Extreme Network Support website at: http://www.extremenetworks.com After you enable the license by entering the software key, the system returns a message that you either successfully or unsuccessfully set the license.

82

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

enable license Once you enable the license (or if you do not use the correct key, attempt to downgrade the license, or already installed the license) you see one of the following error messages:
Enabled license successfully. Error: Unable to set license using supplied key. Error: Unable to set license - downgrade of licenses is not supported. Error: Unable to set license - license is already enabled.

Once installed (or enabled), the license goes with the switch chassis itself (not with the MSM module on modular switches). The license information is stored in EEPROM and persists through reboots, software upgrades, power outages, and reconfigurations. If you attempt to execute a command and you do not either have the required license or have reached the limits defined by the current license level, the system returns one of the following messages:
Error: This command cannot be executed at the current license level. Error: You have reached the maximum limit for this feature at this license level.

To view the type of license you are currently running on the switch, use the show licenses command. The license key number is not displayed, but the type of license is displayed in the show licenses output.

Commands for Accessing the Switch

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

The ping command is used to test for connectivity to a specific host. You use the ipv6 variable to ping an IPv6 host by generating an ICMPv6 echo request message and sending the message to the specified address. If you are contacting an IPv6 link local address, you must specify the VLAN you sending the message from, as shown in the following example (you must include the % sign): ping <ipv6> <link-local address> %<vlan_name> <host>.

NOTE
You must specify the targets IPv6 address to use this functionality. DNS for IPv6 is not supported, so the ping resolves to an IPv4 address if you specify a host name.

The ping command is available for both the user and administrator privilege level.

Example
The following command enables continuous ICMP echo messages to be sent to a remote host:
ping continuous 123.45.67.8

Commands for Managing the Switch

This chapter describes commands for:

Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) parameters on the switch Managing the switch using Telnet Transferring files using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Configuring system redundancy Displaying power management statistics on the switch Configuring Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) parameters on the switch

SNMP
Any network manager running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the switch, if the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the management station. Each network manager provides its own user interface to the management facilities. The following SNMP parameters can be configured on the switch:

Authorized trap receivers An authorized trap receiver can be one or more network management stations on your network. The switch sends SNMP traps to all trap receivers. Entries in this list can be created, modified, and deleted using the RMON2 trapDestTable MIB table, as described in RFC 2021, and the SNMPv3 tables. Authorized managersAn authorized manager can be either a single network management station, or a range of addresses (for example, a complete subnet) specified by a prefix and a mask. Community stringsThe community strings allow a simple method of authentication between the switch and the remote network manager. The default read-only community string is public. The default read-write community string is private. The community strings for all authorized trap receivers must be configured on the switch for the trap receiver to receive switch-generated traps. System contact (optional)The system contact is a text field that enables you to enter the name of the person(s) responsible for managing the switch. System name (optional)The system name enables you to enter a name that you have assigned to this switch. The default name is the model name of the switch (for example, BD-1.2). System location (optional)Using the system location field, you can the location of the switch. NOTE

If you specify volatile storage when configuring SNMP parameters, that configuration is not saved across a switch reboot.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Commands for Managing the Switch

Telnet
Telnet allows you to access the switch remotely using TCP/IP through one of the switch ports or a workstation with a Telnet facility. If you access the switch via Telnet, you will use the command line interface (CLI) to manage the switch and modify switch configurations.

TFTP
ExtremeWare XOS supports the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) based on RFC 1350. TFTP is a method used to transfer files from one network device to another. The ExtremeWare XOS TFTP client is a command line application used to contact an external TFTP server on the network. For example, ExtremeWare XOS uses TFTP to download software image files, switch configuration files, and access control lists (ACLs) from a server on the network to the switch.

System Redundancy with Dual MSMs Installed Modular Switches Only

If you install two MSMs in a modular switch, one assumes the role of primary (master) and the other assumes the role of backup. The primary MSM provides all of the switch management functions including bringing up and programming the I/O modules, running the bridging and routing protocols, and configuring the switch. The primary also keeps synchronized with the backup MSM in case the backup MSM needs to take over the management functions if the primary MSM fails.

Power Supply Management

On modular switches, ExtremeWare XOS monitors and manages power consumption on the switch by periodically checking the power supply units (PSUs) and testing them for failures. To determine the health of the PSU, ExtremeWare XOS checks the voltage, current, and temperature of the PSU. The power management capability of ExtremeWare XOS:

Protects the system from overload conditions Monitors all installed PSUs, even installed PSUs that are disabled Enables and disables PSUs as required Powers up or down I/O modules based on available power and required power resources Logs power resource changes, including power budget, total available power, redundancy, and so on Detects and isolates faulty PSUs

On the Summit X450 switch, ExtremeWare XOS reports when the PSU has power or has failed. The SummitX450 switch supports an internal power supply with a range of 90V to 240V AC power as well as an external redundant power supply. The Extreme Networks External Power System (EPS) allows you to add a redundant power supply to the Summit X450 switch to protect against a power supply failure. The EPS consists of a tray (EPS-T) that holds one or two EPS-160 power supplies. The EPS-160

104

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Simple Network Time Protocol provides 100V to 240V AC power. Each EPS-160 power supply provides one-to-one redundancy to an attached SummitX450 switch.

Simple Network Time Protocol

ExtremeWare XOS supports the client portion of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Version 3 based on RFC1769. SNTP can be used by the switch to update and synchronize its internal clock from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. When enabled, the switch sends out a periodic query to the indicated NTP server, or the switch listens to broadcast NTP updates. In addition, the switch supports the configured setting for Greenwich Mean time (GMT) offset and the use of Daylight Saving Time.

Commands for Managing the Switch

configure node priority

configure node slot <slot_id> priority <node_pri>

Description
Configures the priority of the node.

Syntax Description
slot_id node_pri Specifies the slot of the node. A is for the MSM installed in slot A. B is for the MSM installed in slot B. Specifies the priority of the node. The default 0 gives MSM-A a higher priority over MSM-B. The range is 1 to 100; 0 means you have not configured a node priority.

Default
Default node priority is 0.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the priority of the node. The lower the number, the higher the priority. The node priority is part of the selection criteria for the master node. The following list describes the parameters used to determine the master node:

Node stateThe node state must be STANDBY to participate in leader election and to be selected master. If the node is in the INIT, DOWN, or FAIL states, the node will not participate in leader election. Configuration priorityThis is a user assigned priority. The configured priority is compared only after the node meets the minimum thresholds in each category for it to be healthy. Required processes and devices must not fail. Software healthThis represents the percent of processes available. Health of secondary hardware componentsThis represents the health of switch components, such as the power supplies, fans, and so forth. Slot IDThe MSM slot where the node is installed (MSM-A or MSM-B).

If you do not configure any priorities, MSM-A has a higher priority than MSM-B.

Example
The following command configures a priority of 2 for MSM-B:
configure node slot B priority 2

Commands for Managing the Switch

configure power supply

configure power supply <ps_num> {auto | on}

Description
Configures a power supply for either automatic power management, or forced on, regardless of the impact to the total available system power.

Syntax Description
ps_num auto on Specifies the slot number of the installed power supply unit (PSU) to which this command applies. Specifies that ExtremeWare XOS determines the enabled or disabled state of the PSU to maximize total system power. This is the default. Specifies that the PSU be enabled even if ExtremeWare XOS determines it should be disabled. This action may reduce the total available system power and may result in one or more I/O modules powering down.

Default
The default setting is auto; ExtremeWare XOS either enables or disables the PSU in order to maximize total system power.

Usage Guidelines
If a switch has PSUs with a mix of both 220V AC and 110V AC inputs, ExtremeWare XOS maximizes system power by automatically taking one of two possible actions:

If all PSUs are enabled then all PSUs must be budgeted at 110V AC to prevent overload of PSUs with 110V AC inputs. OR If the PSUs with 110V AC inputs are disabled, then the PSUs with 220V AC inputs can be budgeted with a higher output per PSU.

ExtremeWare XOS computes the total available power using both methods and automatically uses the PSU configuration that provides the greatest amount of power to the switch. Table 10 lists combinations where ExtremeWare XOS maximizes system power by disabling the PSUs with 110V AC inputs.

Table 10: PSU combinations where 110V PSUs are disabled

Number of PSUs with 220V AC Inputs 2 3 3 4 4 Number of PSUs with 110V AC Inputs 1 1 2 1 2

configure power supply

Table 10: PSU combinations where 110V PSUs are disabled (Continued)
Number of PSUs with 220V AC Inputs 5 Number of PSUs with 110V AC Inputs 1

For all other combinations of 220V AC and 110V AC PSUs, ExtremeWare XOS maximizes system power by enabling all PSUs and budgeting each PSU at 110V AC. In addition to the PSU, you can specify the following options:

autoSpecifies that ExtremeWare XOS determines the enabled or disabled state of the PSU to

maximize total system power. This is the default.

onSpecifies that the PSU be enabled even if ExtremeWare XOS determines it should be disabled. This action may reduce the total available system power and may result in one or more I/O modules powering down.

You can override automatic power supply management to enable a PSU with 110V AC inputs that ExtremeWare XOS disables if the need arises, such as for a planned maintenance of 220V AC circuits. If the combination of AC inputs represents one of those listed in Table 10, you can turn on a disabled PSU using the configure power supply <ps_num> on command.

NOTE
If you override automatic power supply management, you may reduce the available power and cause one or more I/O modules to power down.

To resume using automatic power supply management on a PSU, use the configure power supply <ps_num> auto command. The setting for each PSU is stored as part of the switch configuration. To display power supply status and power budget information use the show power and show power
budget commands.

Example
The following command configures the PSU in slot 1 to be forced on when either 110V AC or 220V AC power input is present, overriding automatic power management:
configure power supply 1 on

The switch displays the following message:

In a mixed environment of 110V and 220V AC inputs, power management may automatically disable 110V supplies to maximize the system power budget. By specifying 'on', you wish to override power management and enable the specified power supply. This may cause the system power budget to decrease and one or more I/O cards may be powered off as a result. Are you sure you want to continue? (y/n)

Enter y to continue.

configure snmp add community

configure snmp add community

configure snmp add community [readonly | readwrite] <alphanumeric_string>

Description
Adds an SNMP read or read/write community string.

Syntax Description
readonly readwrite alphanumeric_string Specifies read-only access to the system. Specifies read and write access to the system. Specifies an SNMP community string name. See Usage Guidelines for more information.

Default
The default read-only community string is public. The default read/write community string is private.

Usage Guidelines
Community strings provide a simple method of authentication between a switch and a remote network manager. Read community strings provide read-only access to the switch. The default read-only community string is public. Read-write community strings provide read and write access to the switch. The default read/write community string is private. Sixteen read-only and sixteen read/write community strings can be configured on the switch, including the defaults. An authorized trap receiver must be configured to use the correct community strings on the switch for the trap receiver to receive switch-generated traps. In some cases, it may be useful to allow multiple community strings so that all switches and trap receivers are not forced to use identical community strings. The configure snmp add community command allows you to add multiple community strings in addition to the default community string. An SNMP community string can contain up to 32 characters. Extreme Networks recommends that you change the defaults of the community strings. To change the value of the default read/write and read-only community strings, use the configure snmp delete community command.

Example
The following command adds a read/write community string with the value extreme:
configure snmp add community readwrite extreme

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to create a filter entry in the snmpNotifyFilterTable. Each filter includes or excludes a portion of the MIB. Multiple filter entries comprise a filter profile that can eventually be associated with a target address. Other commands are used to associate a filter profile with a parameter name, and the parameter name with a target address. This command can be used multiple times to configure the exact filter profile desired.

Example
The following command adds a filter to the filter profile prof1 that includes the MIB subtree 1.3.6.1.4.1/ f0:

Description
Disables the system watchdog timer.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default

Usage Guidelines
The watchdog timer monitors the health of the switch hardware and software events. For example, the watchdog timer reboots the switch if the system cannot reset the watchdog timer. This can be caused by a long CPU processing loop, any unhandled exception, or a hardware problem with the communication channel to the watchdog. In most cases, if the watchdog timer expires, the switch captures the current CPU status and posts it to the console and the system log. In some cases, if the problem is so severe that the switch is unable to perform any action, the switch reboots without logging any system status information prior to reboot. This command takes affect immediately. The watchdog settings are saved in the configuration file. To display the watchdog state of your system, use the show switch command.

Description
Turns on SNMP support for SNMPv3 and v1/v2c on the switch.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
To have access to the SNMP agent residing in the switch, at least one VLAN must have an IP address assigned to it. Any network manager running SNMP can manage the switch (for v1/v2c), provided the MIB is installed correctly on the management station. Each network manager provides its own user interface to the management facilities. For SNMPv3, additional security keys are used to control access, so an SNMPv3 manager is required for this type of access. This command enables both v1/v2c and v3 access, so the switch can be accessed with either method. Use the following commands to allow only v3 access:
enable snmp access disable snmp access snmp-v1v2c

Use the following command to prevent any SNMP access:

disable snmp access

There is no way to disable v3 access and allow v1/v2c access. ExtremeWare XOS 11.2 introduces the concept of safe defaults mode. Safe defaults mode runs an interactive script that allows you to enable or disable SNMP, Telnet, and switch ports. When you set up your switch for the first time, you must connect to the console port to access the switch. After logging in to the switch, you enter safe defaults mode. Although SNMP, Telnet, and switch ports are enabled by default, the script prompts you to confirm those settings. If you choose to keep the default setting for SNMPthe default setting is enabledthe switch returns the following interactive script:

show node
show node {detail}

Description
Displays the status of the nodes in the system as well as the general health of the system.

Syntax Description
detail Displays the information on a per-node basis rather than in a tabular format.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to display the current status of the nodes and the health of the system. The information displayed shows the node configurations (such as node priority) and the system and hardware health computations. You can use this information to determine which node will be elected master in case of a failover. Table 11 lists the node statistic information collected by the switch.

Table 11: Node states

Node State BACKUP DOWN Description In the backup state, this node becomes the master node if the master fails or enters the DOWN state. The backup node also receives the checkpoint state data from the master. In the down state, the node is not available to participate in leader election. The node enters this state during any user action, other than a failure, that makes the node unavailable for management. Examples of user actions are: Upgrading the software Rebooting the system using the reboot command Initiating an MSM failover using the run msm-failover command Synchronizing the MSMs software and configuration in non-volatile storage using the synchronize command FAIL INIT In the fail state, the node has failed and needs to be restarted or repaired. The node reaches this state if the system has a hardware or software failure. In the initial state, the node is being initialized. A node stays in this state when it is coming up and remains in this state until it has been fully initialized. Being fully initialized means that all of the hardware has been initialized correctly and there are no diagnostic faults. In the master state, the node is responsible for all switch management functions. In the standby state, leader election occursthe master and backup nodes are elected. The priority of the node is only significant in the standby state.

When naming or configuring an IP address for your network server, remember the requirements listed above. Virtual Router Requirements. The vr_name option specifies the name of the virtual router. The valid virtual router names at system boot-up are VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default; however, you can only Telnet on VR-Mgmt and VR-Default. On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can also create and configure your own virtual routers. In ExtremeWare XOS 10.1, the valid virtual routers are VR-0, VR-1, and VR-2 respectively, and Telnet used VR-0 by default. For more information about virtual routers, see Virtual Routers in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.

Example
The following command starts a Telnet client communication to the host at IP address 123.45.67.8:
telnet 123.45.67.8

The following command starts a Telnet client communication with a host named sales:
telnet sales

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1. Support for the following virtual routers was added in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0: VR-Mgmt and VR-Default.

telnet msm

telnet msm
telnet msm [a | b]

Description
Allows you to Telnet to either the primary or the backup MSM regardless of which console port you are connected to.

Syntax Description
a b Specifies the MSM installed in slot A. Specifies the MSM installed in slot B.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to access either the primary or the backup MSM regardless of which console port you are connected to. For example, if MSM A is the primary MSM and you are connected to MSM A via its console port, you can access the backup MSM installed in slot B by issuing the telnet msm b command. You must have a console connection to the MSM and Telnet must be enabled on the system to Telnet into the other installed MSM. If Telnet is disabled, the MSM you are attempting to access will time-out. For example, if you connect to MSM A and attempt to Telnet to MSM B, MSM B will time-out. If you have an active Telnet session to the other MSM and subsequently disable Telnet, that MSM disconnects your session. For example, if you connect to MSM A, Telnet to MSM B, then from a different connection to MSM A issue the the disable telnet command, MSM B returns an error message and disconnects your Telnet session.

Example
The following example makes the following assumptions:

Telnet is enabled on the system The MSM installed in slot A is the primary The MSM installed in slot B is the backup You have a console connection to MSM B

The following command accesses the primary MSM installed in slot A from the backup MSM installed in slot B:
telnet msm a

Syntax Description
host_name ip_address vr_name Specifies the name of the remote host. Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server. Specifies the name of the virtual router. NOTE: The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs. -g -p local_file memorycard remote_file Gets the specified file from the TFTP server and copies it to the local host. Puts the specified file from the local host and copies it to the TFTP server. Specifies the name of the file (configuration file, policy file) on the local host. Specifies the removable external compact flash card. NOTE: This parameter is available only on modular switches. Specifies the name of the file on the remote host.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, VR-Mgmt is used.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

NetASCII and mail file type formats are not supported. TFTP Server Requirements. Extreme Networks recommends using a TFTP server that supports blocksize negotiation (as described in RFC 2348, TFTP Blocksize Option), to enable faster file downloads and larger file downloads. If the TFTP server does not support blocksize negotiation, the file size is limited to 32 MB. Older TFTP servers that do not support blocksize negotiation have additional implementation limits that may decrease the maximum file size to only 16 MB, which may be too small to install ExtremeWare XOS images.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

233

Commands for Managing the Switch If your TFTP server does not support blocksize negotiation, the switch displays a message similar to the following when you attempt a get (-g) or put (-p) operation:
Note: The blocksize option is not supported by the remote TFTP server. Without this option, the maximum file transfer size is limted to 32MB. Some older TFTP servers may be limited to 16MB file.

Using TFTP. Use TFTP to download a previously saved configuration file or policy file from the TFTP server to the switch. When you download a file, this command does not automatically apply it to the switch. You must specify that the downloaded file be applied to the switch. For example, if you download a configuration file, issue the use configuration command to apply the saved configuration on the next reboot. You must use the reboot command to activate the new configuration. If you download a policy file, use the refresh policy command to reprocess the text file and update the policy database. You also use TFTP to upload a saved configuration file or policy file from the switch to the TFTP server. If your download from the TFTP server to the switch is successful, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Downloading megtest2.cfg to switch... done!

If your upload from the switch to the TFTP server is successful, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Uploading megtest1.cfg to TFTPhost ... done!

Up to eight active TFTP sessions can run on the switch concurrently. You must configure DNS in order to use the host_name option. Host Name and Remote IP Address Character Restrictions. This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for host names and remote IP addresses. When specifying a host name or remote IP address, the switch permits only the following characters:

Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) Numerals (0-9) Period ( . ) Dash ( - ) Permitted only for host names Underscore ( _ ) Permitted only for host names Colon ( : )

The valid virtual router names at system boot-up are VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default; however, you can only TFTP on VR-Mgmt and VR-Default. On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can also create and configure your own virtual routers. In ExtremeWare XOS 10.1, the valid virtual routers are VR-0, VR-1, and VR-2 respectively. For more information about virtual routers, see Virtual Routers in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. Modular Switches Only. If you specify the memorycard option, you can copy and transfer files to and from the external memory card using TFTP. Other Useful Commands. On the Summit X450 switch and the BlackDiamond 10K switch, use the download bootrom command to upgrade the BootROM. This command utilizes TFTP to transfer the BootROM image file from your TFTP server to the switch. Only upgrade the BootROM when asked to do so by an Extreme Networks technical representative. For more information about this command, see download bootrom on page 1617. To upgrade the image, use the download image command. This command utilizes TFTP to transfer the software image file from your TFTP server to the switch. For more information about this command, see download image on page 1620.

For information about downloading and upgrading a new software image, saving configuration changes, and upgrading the BootROM, see Appendix A, Software Upgrade and Boot Options.

Like any advanced operating system, ExtremeWare XOS gives you the tools to manage your switch and create your network configurations. With the introduction of ExtremeWare XOS, the following enhancements and functionality have been added to the switch operating system:

File system administrationYou can move, copy, and delete files from the switch. The file system structure allows you to keep, save, rename, and maintain multiple copies of configuration files on the switch. In addition, you can manage other entities of the switch such as policies and access control lists (ACLs). Configuration file managementYou can oversee and manage multiple configuration files on your switch. In addition, you can upload, download, modify, and name configuration files used by the switch. Process controlYou can stop and start processes, restart failed processes, and update the software for a specific process or set of processes. Memory protectionWith memory protection, ExtremeWare XOS protects each process from every other process in the system. If one process experiences a memory fault, that process cannot affect the memory space of another process. CPU monitoringYou can monitor CPU utilization for Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSMs) and the individual processes running on the switch. Monitoring the workload of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes. NOTE

Filenames are case-sensitive. For information on filename restrictions, please refer to the specific command in the ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Guide.

clear cpu-monitoring
clear cpu-monitoring {process <name>} {slot <slotid>}

Description
Clears, resets the CPU utilization history and statistics stored in the switch.

Syntax Description
name slotid Specifies the name of the process. Specifies the slot number of the MSM module: A specifies the MSM installed in slot A. B specifies the MSM installed in slot B. NOTE: This parameter is available only on modular switches.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you do not specify any keywords, this command clears the CPU utilization history for the entire switch, including processes, and resets the statistics to zero (0). On modular switches, this command also clears the CPU utilization history of the installed MSMs. If you specify process, the switch clears and resets the CPU utilization history for the specified process. Modular Switches Only. If you specify slot, the switch clears and resets the CPU utilization history for the specified MSM.

Example
The following command resets the CPU history and resets the statistics to 0 for the TFTP process running on the MSM installed in slot A of a modular switch:
clear cpu-monitoring process tftpd slot A

The following command resets the CPU history and resets statistics to 0 for the TFTP process running on the Summit X450 switch:

cp
cp {memorycard} <old-name> {memorycard} <new-name>

Description
Copies an existing configuration or policy file in the system.

Syntax Description
memorycard old-name new-name Specifies the removable external compact flash memory card. NOTE: This parameter is available only on modular switches. Specifies the name of the configuration or policy file that you want to copy. Specifies the name of the copied configuration or policy file.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to make a copy of an existing file before you alter or edit the file. By making a copy, you can easily go back to the original file if needed. Configuration files have a .cfg file extension; policy files have a .pol file extension. When you copy a configuration or policy file from the system, make sure you specify the appropriate file extension. For example, if you want to copy a policy file, specify the filename and .pol. When you copy a file on the switch, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Copy config test.cfg to config test1.cfg on switch? (y/n)

Enter y to copy the file. Enter n to cancel this process and not copy the file. If you enter y, the switch copies the file with the new name and keeps a backup of the original file with the original name. After the switch copies the file, use the ls command to display a complete list of files. In this example, the switch displays the original file named test.cfg and the copied file named test_rev2.cfg. The following is sample output from the ls command:
... -rw-r--r--rw-r--r-... 1 root 1 root root root 100980 Sep 23 09:16 test.cfg 100980 Oct 13 08:47 test_rev2.cfg

If you enter n, the switch displays a message similar to the following:

Copy cancelled.

240

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

cp Case-sensitive Filenames. Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file named Test.cfg. If you attempt to copy the file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Error: cp: /config/test.cfg: No such file or directory

Since the switch is unable to locate test.cfg, the file is not copied. Local Filename Character Restrictions. This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local filenames. When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters:

Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) Numerals (0-9) Period ( . ) Dash ( - ) Underscore ( _ )

When naming a local file, remember the requirements listed above. Modular Switches Only. This command also replicates the action from the primary MSM to the backup MSM. For example, if you copy a file on the primary MSM, the same file is copied to the backup MSM. For the memorycard option, the source and/or destination is the memorycard. You must mount the memory card for this operation to succeed. The cp command copies a file from the switch to the external memory card or a file already on the card. If you copy a file from the switch to the external memory card, and the new filename is identical to the source file, you do not need to re-enter the filename.

Example
The following command makes a copy of a configuration file named test.cfg and gives the copied file a new name of test_rev2.cfg:
cp test.cfg test_rev2.cfg

The following command makes a copy of a configuration file named primary.cfg from a modular switch to the external memory card with the same name, primary.cfg:
cp primary.cfg memorycard

The above command performs the same action as entering the following command:
cp primary.cfg memorycard primary.cfg

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0. The memorycard option was added in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

enable cpu-monitoring
enable cpu-monitoring {interval <seconds>} {threshold <percent>}

Description
Enables CPU monitoring on the switch.

Command Syntax
seconds threshold Specifies the monitoring interval, in seconds. The default is 20 seconds, and the range is 5 to 60 seconds. Specifies the CPU threshold value. CPU usage is measured in percentages. The default is 60%, and the range is 0% to 100%.

Default
CPU monitoring is enabled and occurs every 20 seconds. The default CPU threshold value is 60%.

Usage Guidelines
CPU monitoring allows you to monitor the CPU utilization and history for all of the processes running on the switch. By viewing this history on a regular basis, you can see trends emerging and identify processes with peak utilization. Monitoring the workload of the CPU allows you to troubleshoot and identify suspect processes before they become a problem. To specify the frequency of CPU monitoring, use the interval keyword. Extreme Networks recommends the default setting for most network environments. If you enter a number lower than 20 seconds, CPU utilization may increase. CPU usage is measured in percentages. By default, the CPU threshold value is 60%. If CPU utilization of a process exceeds 60% of the regular operating basis, the switch logs an error message specifying the process name and the current CPU utilization for the process. In addition, if configured with the guidance of Extreme Networks Customer Support, the switch can save this information in a coredump or tracefile. To modify the CPU threshold level, use the threshold keyword. The range is 0% to 100%.

Example
The following command enables CPU monitoring every 30 seconds:
enable cpu-monitoring interval 30

Syntax Description
memorycard old-name new-name Specifies the removable external compact flash card. NOTE: This parameter is available only on modular switches. Specifies the current name of the configuration or policy file. Specifies the new name of the configuration or policy file.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you rename a file with a given extension, remember the following:

Configuration files use the .cfg file extension Policy files use the .pol file extension

Make sure the renamed file uses the same file extension as the original file. If you change the file extensions, the file may be unrecognized by the system. For example, if you have an existing configuration file named test.cfg, the new filename must include the .cfg file extension. You cannot rename an active configuration file (the configuration currently selected to boot the switch). To verify the configuration that you are currently using, issue the show switch {detail} command. If you attempt to rename the active configuration file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Error: Cannot rename current selected active configuration file.

When you rename a file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Rename config test.cfg to config megtest.cfg on switch? (y/n)

Enter y to rename the file on your system. Enter n to cancel this process and keep the existing filename. Case-sensitive Filenames. Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file named Test.cfg. If you attempt to rename the file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the switch displays a message similar to the following:

rm

rm
rm {memorycard} <file-name>

Description
Removes/deletes an existing configuration or policy file from the system.

Syntax Description
memorycard file-name Specifies the removable external compact flash card. NOTE: This parameter is available only on modular switches. Specifies the name of the configuration or policy file.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
After you remove a configuration or policy file from the system, that file is unavailable to the system. You cannot remove an active configuration file (the configuration currently selected to boot the switch). To verify the configuration that you are currently using, issue the show switch {detail} command. If you attempt to remove the active configuration file, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Error: Cannot remove current selected active configuration file.

When you delete a file from the switch, a message similar to the following appears:
Remove testpolicy.pol from switch? (y/n)

Enter y to remove the file from your system. Enter n to cancel the process and keep the file on your system. Case-sensitive Filenames. Filenames are case-sensitive. In this example, you have a configuration file named Test.cfg. If you attempt to remove a file with the incorrect case, for example test.cfg, the system is unable to remove the file. The switch does not display an error message; however, the ls command continues to display the file Test.cfg. To remove the file, make sure you use the appropriate case. Local Filename Character Restrictions. This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local filenames. When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters:

Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) Numerals (0-9) Period ( . )

When naming a local or remote file, remember the requirements listed above. Modular Switches Only. This command also replicates the action from the primary MSM to the backup MSM. For example, if you delete a file on the primary MSM, the same file on the backup MSM is deleted. For the memorycard option, this command removes/deletes an existing file on the card. You can use the * wildcard to delete all of a particular file type from the external memory card. BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. In ExtremeWare 10.1, this command was available only on the primary MSM. For example, if you deleted a file on the primary MSM, the same file on the backup MSM was not deleted.

Example
The following command removes the configuration file named Activeb91.cfg from the system:
rm Activeb91.cfg

On a modular switch with an external memory card installed, the following command removes the policy file named test.pol from the external memory card:
rm memorycard test.pol

On a modular switch with an external memory card installed, the following command removes all of the configuration files from the external memory card:
rm memorycard *.cfg

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1. Support for replicating information from the primary MSM to the backup MSM was introduced in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0. The memorycard option was added in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

Platform Availability
This command is available on all platforms.

show heartbeat process

show heartbeat process {<name>}

Description
Displays the health of the ExtremeWare XOS processes.

Command Syntax
name Specifies the name of the process.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The software monitors all of the XOS processes running on the switch. This process monitor creates and terminates XOS processes on demand (for example, when you log in or log out of the switch) and restarts processes if an abnormal termination occurs (for example, if your system crashes). The process monitor also ensures that only version-compatible processes and processes with proper licenses are started. The show heartbeat process command is a resource for providing background system health information because you can view the health of ExtremeWare XOS processes on the switch. Use this command to monitor the health of the XOS processes. The switch uses two algorithms to collect process health information: polling and reporting. Both polling and reporting measure the heartbeat of the process. Polling occurs when a HELLO message is sent and a HELLO_ACK message is received. The two counts are the same. Reporting occurs when a HELLO_ACK message is sent only. Therefore, no HELLO messages are sent and the HELLO count remains at zero. The show heartbeat process command displays the following information in a tabular format:

CardThe name of the module where the process is running (modular switches only). Process NameThe name of the process. HelloThe number of hello messages sent to the process. HelloAckThe number of hello acknowledgement messages received by the process manager. Last Heartbeat TimeThe timestamp of the last health check received by the process manager. (Unknown specifies kernel modules and they do not participate in heartbeat monitoring.)

This status information may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a network problem. You may find it useful to capture the process information under normal operating conditions to establish a baseline. By having a baseline, if you experience a problem, you and your technical support representative can more easily identify the problem.

Not StartedThe process has not been started. This can be caused by not having the appropriate license or for not starting the process.

Start TimeThe current start time of the process. Options are:

If you specify the detail keyword, more specific and detailed process information is displayed. The show process detail and show process slot <slotid> detail commands display the following information in a multi-tabular format:

Detailed process information Memory usage configurations Recovery policies Process statistics Resource usage

This status information may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a network problem. Depending on the software version running on your switch or your switch model, additional or different process information might be displayed. You may find it useful to capture the process information under normal operating conditions to establish a baseline. By having a baseline, if you experience a problem, you and your technical support representative can more easily identify the problem.

Example
To display the processes on your system, use the following command:
show process

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

Enabling, disabling, and configuring individual ports Configuring port speed (Fast Ethernet ports only) and half- or full-duplex mode Creating link aggregation groups on multiple ports Displaying port statistics Configuring switch port mirroring Configuring software-controlled redundant ports and Smart Redundancy Configuring Discovery Protocol

This chapter describes commands related to:

By default, all ports on the switch are enabled. After you configure the ports to your specific needs, you can select which ports are enabled or disabled. Fast Ethernet ports can connect to either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T networks. By default, the ports autonegotiate (automatically determine) the port speed. You can also configure each port for a particular speed (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps). Gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber interfaces are statically set, and their speed cannot be modified. The switch comes configured to use autonegotiation to determine the port speed and duplex setting for each port. You can select to manually configure the duplex setting and the speed of 10/100 Mbps ports, and you can manually configure the duplex setting on gigabit Ethernet ports. All ports on the switch (except gigabit Ethernet ports) can be configured for half-duplex or full-duplex operation. The ports are configured to autonegotiate the duplex setting, but you can manually configure the duplex setting for your specific needs. Flow control is supported only on gigabit Ethernet ports. It is enabled or disabled as part of autonegotiation. If autonegotiation is set to off, flow control is disabled. When autonegotiation is turned on, flow control is enabled. Link aggregation, or load sharing, with Extreme Network switches allows you to increase bandwidth and resilience between switches by using a group of ports to carry traffic in parallel between switches. The sharing algorithm allows the switch to use multiple ports as a single logical port. For example, VLANs see the link aggregation group (LAG) as a single logical port. The algorithm also guarantees packet sequencing between clients. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3, you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to configure and enable dynamic link aggregation. Static link aggregation is still available as well. If a port in a link aggregation group fails, traffic is redistributed to the remaining ports in the LAG. If the failed port becomes active again, traffic is redistributed to include that port. You can view port status on the switch using the show ports commands. These commands, when used with specific keywords and parameters, allow you to view various issues such as collision statistics, link speed, flow control, and packet size. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.3, these port

configure edp advertisement-interval

configure edp advertisement-interval

configure edp advertisment-interval <timer> holddown-interval <timeout>

Description
Sets the advertisement interval and hold down interval for EDP.

Syntax Description
timer timeout Specifies the advertisement interval in seconds. Specifies the hold down interval in seconds.

Default
The default setting for timer is 60 seconds, and for timeout is 180 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Extreme Discover Protocol (EDP) is used to gather information about neighbor Extreme Networks switches. EDP-enabled ports advertise information about the Extreme switch to other switches on the interface and receive advertisements from other Extreme switches. Information about other Extreme switches is discarded after the hold down interval timeout value is reached without receiving another advertisement.

Example
The following command configures the EDP advertisement-interval to 2 minutes and the hold down interval to 6 minutes:
configure edp advertisement-interval 120 holddown-interval 360

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

configure ip-mtu vlan

configure ip-mtu <mtu> vlan <vlan_name>

Description
Sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the VLAN.

Syntax Description
mtu vlan_name Specifies the IP maximum transmission unit (MTU) value. Range is from 1500 to 9216. Specifies a VLAN name.

Default
The default IP MTU size is 1500.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch do not support fragmentation of any IP packets they forward. Also, the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support the router specification for path MTU discovery.

Use this command to enable jumbo frame support or for IP fragmentation with jumbo frames. Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1522 bytes, including 4 bytes used for CRC. Both endstations involved in the transfer must be capable of supporting jumbo frames. The switch does not perform IP fragmentation or participate in MTU negotiation on behalf of devices that do not support jumbo frames. When enabling jumbo frames and setting the MTU size for the VLAN, keep in mind that some network interface cards (NICs) have a configured maximum MTU size that does not include the additional 4 bytes of CRC included in a jumbo frame configuration. Ensure that the NIC maximum MTU is at or below the maximum MTU size configured on the switch. Frames that are larger than the MTU size configured on the switch are dropped at the ingress port. If you use IP fragmentation with jumbo frames and you want to set the MTU size greater than 1500, all ports in the VLAN must have jumbo frames enabled.

Example
The following command sets the MTU size to 2000 for VLAN sales:
configure ip-mtu 2000 vlan sales

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch

configure jumbo-frame-size
configure jumbo-frame-size <framesize>

Description
Sets the maximum jumbo frame size for the switch.

Syntax Description
framesize Specifies a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for a jumbo frame. The range is 1523 to 9216; the default is 9216.

Default
Jumbo frames are disabled by default. The default size setting is 9216.

Usage Guidelines
Jumbo frames are used between endstations that support larger frame sizes for more efficient transfers of bulk data. Both endstations involved in the transfer must be capable of supporting jumbo frames. The framesize keyword describes the maximum jumbo frame size on the wire, and includes 4 bytes of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) plus another 4 bytes if 802.1Q tagging is being used. To enable jumbo frame support, you must configure the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of a jumbo frame that will be allowed by the switch.

NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you set the MTU size so that fragmentation does not occur.

Some network interface cards (NICs) have a configured maximum MTU size that does not include the additional 4 bytes of CRC. Ensure that the NIC maximum MTU size is at or below the maximum MTU size configured on the switch. Frames that are larger than the MTU size configured on the switch are dropped at the ingress port.

Example
The following command configures the jumbo frame size to 5500:

configure mirroring add

configure mirroring add [vlan <name> {port <port>}| port <port> {vlan <name>}] {ingress | egress | ingress-and-egress}

Description
Adds a particular mirroring filter definition on the switch.

Syntax Description
vlan name port port ingress Specifies a VLAN. Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies a port or slot and port. Specifies particular ports or slots and ports. Specifies packets be mirrored as they are received on a port. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch and only with port-based mirroring. egress Specifies packets be mirrored as they are sent from a port. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch and only with port-based mirroring. ingress-and-egress Specifies all forwarded packets be mirrored. This is the default setting on the Aspen family of switches and the Summit X450 switch for port-based mirroring. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch and only with port-based mirroring.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable port-mirroring using the enable mirroring to port command before you can configure the mirroring filter definitions. Port mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor port on the switch. The switch uses a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port. Up to 16 mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. Frames that contain errors are not mirrored. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch only. The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:

Physical portAll data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the monitor port. You can specify which traffic the port mirrors:

IngressMirrors traffic received at the port.

EgressMirrors traffic sent from the port. Ingress and egressMirrors all traffic forwarded by the port. (If you omit the optional parameters, all traffic is forwarded; the default for port-based mirroring is ingress and egress).

VLANAll data to a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is copied to the monitor port. Virtual portAll data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port. Only 8 VLANs can be mirrored on a given physical port. Only traffic ingressing a VLAN can be monitored; you cannot specify ingressing or egressing traffic when mirroring VLAN traffic.

BlackDiamond 10K switch only. The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:

Physical portAll data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the monitor port. VLANAll data to and from a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is copied to the monitor port. Virtual portAll data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port.

Example
The following example sends all traffic coming into an BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches on slot 3, port 2 to the mirror port:
configure mirroring add port 3:2 ingress

The following example sends all traffic coming into a Summit X450 switch on port 11 and the VLAN default to the mirror port:

configure ports auto off

configure ports <port_list> auto off speed [10 | 100 | 1000 | 10000] duplex [half | full]

Description
Manually configures port speed and duplex setting configuration on one or more ports on a switch.

Syntax Description
port_list speed [10] speed [100] speed [1000] speed [10000] duplex [half] duplex [full] Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies 10 Mbps ports. Specifies 100 Mbps ports. Specifies 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit) ports. Specifies 10000 Mbps (10 Gigabit) ports. Specifies half duplex; transmitting and receiving data one direction at a time. Specifies full duplex; transmitting and receiving data at the same time.

Default
Auto on for 1 G ports. Auto off for 10 G ports.

Usage Guidelines
You can manually configure the duplex setting and the speed on 10/100/1000 Mbps and fiber SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. SFP gigabit Ethernet ports are statically set to 1 Gbps, and their speed cannot be modified. In certain interoperability situations, it is necessary to turn autonegotiation off on a fiber gigabit Ethernet port. Even though a gigabit Ethernet port runs only at full duplex and gigabit speeds, the command that turns off autonegotiation must still include the duplex setting. Gigabit Ethernet ports support flow control only when autonegotiation is turned on. When autonegotiation is turned off, flow control is not supported.

Example
The following example turns autonegotiation off for slot 2, port 1 on a modular switch:
configure ports 2:1 auto off duplex full

Description
Configures a user-defined string for a port or group of ports.

Syntax Description
port_list string Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies a user-defined display string.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The display string can be up to 15 characters. Display strings do not need to be unique for each port you can assign the same string to multiple ports. For example, you could give all the ports that connected to a particular department a common display string. The string is displayed in certain commands such as the show ports information command.

configure ports preferred-medium

configure ports preferred-medium

configure ports <port_list> preferred-medium [copper | fiber] {force}

Description
Configures the primary uplink port to use a preferred medium.

Syntax Description
port_list copper fiber force Specifies the port number. Valid port numbers are 1 to 4. Specifies that the switch should always use the 10/100/1000 BASE-T connection whenever a link is established even when a fiber link is also present. Specifies that the switch should always use the 1 gigabit Ethernet fiber connection whenever a link is established even when a copper link is also present. Disables automatic failover. (If the specified preferred medium is not present, the link does not come up even if the secondary medium is present.)

Default
The default is determined at cable installation time.

Usage Guidelines
You specify either copper or fiber. The switch evaluates the copper energy and the fiber signal at the time the combo ports come online. If both are present, the configured preferred medium is chosen; however, if only one is present, the switch brings up that medium and uses this medium the next time the switch is rebooted. When a failure occurs and the uplinks are swapped, the switch continues to keep that uplink assignment until another failure occurs or until the assignment is changed using the CLI. If you use the force option, it disables automatic failover. If you force the preferred-medium to fiber and the fiber link goes away, the copper link is not used, even if available.

Examples
The following establishes copper port 4 as the primary uplink and fiber port 4 as the redundant uplink port:
configure ports 4 preferred-medium copper

Copper port 4 becomes the primary uplink until a failure occurs on that link. At that time, fiber port 4 becomes the primary uplink and copper port 4 becomes the redundant port. This assignment stays in place until the next failure.

configure ports redundant

configure ports <primaryPort> redundant <secondaryPort> {link [on | off]}

Description
Configures a software-controlled redundant port.

Syntax Description
primaryPort redundantPort link Specifies one primary port or slot and port. Specifies one or redundant port or slot and port. Specifies state of link: onSpecifies keeping the redundant port active, but block traffic offSpecifies forcing the link down on the redundant port NOTE: The default value is off.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The first port specifies the primary port. The second port specifies the redundant port. A software-controlled redundant port is configured to back up a specified primary port; both ports are on the same device. The redundant port tracks the link state of the associated primary port, and if the link on the primary port fails, the redundant port establishes a link and becomes active. You can back up a specified Ethernet port with a redundant, dedicated Ethernet port. You configure the redundant link to be always physically up but logically blocked or to be always physically down. The default is off, or the redundant link is down. The following criteria must be considered when configuring a software-controlled redundant port:

You can configure only one redundant port for each primary port. You cannot have any Layer 2 protocols configured on any of the VLANs that are present on the ports. (You will see an error message if you attempt to configure software redundant ports on ports with VLANs running Layer 2 protocols.) The primary and redundant port must have identical VLAN memberships. The master port is the only port of a load-sharing group that can be configured as either a primary or redundant port. (The entire trunk must go down before the software-controlled redundant port takes effect.) Only one side of the link should be configured as redundant.

configure sharing add ports

configure sharing <port> add ports <port_list>

Description
Adds ports to a load-sharing, or link aggregation, group. By using link aggregation, you use multiple ports as a single logical port. Link aggregation also provides redundancy because traffic is redistributed to the remaining ports in the LAG if one port in the group goes down.

Syntax Description
port port_list Specifies the logical port for a load-sharing group or link aggregation group (LAG). This number also functions as the LAG Group ID. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports to be grouped in the LAG.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2|L3}]} {lacp}.

Use this command to dynamically add ports to a load-sharing group, or link aggregation group (LAG). VMAN ports can belong to LAGs. If any port in the LAG is enabled for VMAN, all ports in the group are automatically enabled to handle jumbo size frames. Also, VMAN is automatically enabled on all ports of the untagged LAG. To verify your configuration, use the show ports sharing command. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and Summit X450 switch only. The following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch:

A static LAG can include a maximum of 8 ports. An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 16 ports; out of these up to 8 can be selected links and the remaining 8 will be standby links. The maximum number of LAGs is 32. Any broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packet is transmitted on a single port in the LAG.

configure sharing add ports

NOTE
You cannot configure port-based load sharing algorithm on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch; you configure only address-based load-sharing algorithms.

The available address-based parameters on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch are L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3. If the packet is not IP, the switch applies the Layer 2 algorithm, which is the default setting. BlackDiamond 10K switch only. The following guidelines apply to LAGs on the BlackDiamond 10K switch:

A static LAG can include a maximum 16 ports. An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 32 ports; out of these up to 16 can be selected links and the remaining 16 will be standby links. The maximum number of LAGs is 128.

On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, if you do not explicitly select an algorithm, the port-based scheme is used. However, the address-based algorithm has a more even distribution and is the recommended choice.

NOTE
You must use the configure sharing address-based command to configure address-based load sharing on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

configure sharing address-based

configure sharing address-based [L2 | L2_L3 | L2_L3_L4 |L2_L3_CHK_SUM | L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM]

Description
Configures the part of the packet examined by the switch when selecting the egress port for transmitting link aggregation, or load-sharing, data. Includes IPv6 addresses with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2 and higher.

Syntax Description
L2 L2_L3 L2_L3_L4 Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination address. Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination address plus the IP source and destination address. Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination address, the IP source and destination, plus the TCP source and destination port number. Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination address, the IP source and destination address, plus the IP check sum. NOTE: This variable applies only to IPv4 addresses. L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM Indicates that the switch should examine the MAC source and destination address, the IP source and destination, the TCP source and destination port number, plus the IP check sum. NOTE: This variable applies only to IPv4 addresses.

L2_L3_CHK_SUM

Default
The default setting is L2.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You must create a LAG (or load-sharing group) before you can configure the LAG. To create a LAG, see enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2|L3}]} {lacp}.

This feature is available using the address-based load-sharing, or link aggregation, algorithm only. The address-based load-sharing algorithm uses addressing information to determine which physical port in the load-sharing group, or LAG, to use for forwarding traffic out of the switch. Addressing information is based on the packet protocol, as follows:

IP packetsUses the source and destination MAC and IP address, and the TCP port number. All other packetsUses the source and destination MAC address.

306

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure sharing address-based This command specifies the part of the packet header that the switch examines to select the egress port for address-based load-sharing trunks. The address-based load-sharing setting is global and applies to all load-sharing trunks, or LAGs, that are address-based. You change this setting by issuing the command again with a different option. To verify your configuration, use the show ports sharing command. This is a global setting and applies to all load-sharing trunks that are address-based. Because the algorithms L2_L3__CHK_SUM and L2_L3_L4_CHK_SUM use the IP check sum as part of the decision for the egress port selection, these algorithms do not guarantee the packet sequencing between the clients. Also, these variables apply only to IPv4 addresses. If you do not explicitly select an algorithm, the port-based scheme is used. However, the address-based algorithm has a more even distribution and is the recommended choice. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.3, you can configure dynamic link aggregation, using LACP.

Example
The following example configures the switch to examine the MAC source and destination address:

configure sharing lacp system-priority

configure sharing <port> lacp system-priority <priority>

Description
Configures the system priority used by LACP for each LAG to establish the station on which end assumes priority in determining those LAG ports moved to the collecting/distributing state of the protocol. That end of the LAG with the lowest system priority is the one that assumes control of the determination. This is optional; if you do not configure this parameter, LACP uses system MAC values to determine priority. If you choose to configure this parameter, enter a value between 1 and 65535.

Syntax Description
port priority Specifies the master logical port for the LAG you are setting the priority for. Enter the value you want for the priority of the system for the LACP. The range is 1 to 65535; there is no default.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The LACP uses the system MAC values to assign priority to one of the systems, and that system then determines which LAG ports move into the collecting/distributing state and exchange traffic. That end of the LAG with the lowest system priority is the one that assumes control of the determination. If you wish to override the default LACP system priority for a specific LAG, use this command to assign that LAG a specific LACP priority. Enter a value between 1 and 65535. You must enable sharing and create the LAG prior to assigning this LACP priority. To verify the LACP system priority, use the show lacp command. To change the system priority you previously assigned to a specific LAG, issue the configure sharing lacp system-priority using the new priority you want. To remove the assigned system priority entirely and use the LACP priorities, issue the configure sharing lacp system-priority using a value of 0.

Example
The following command assigns LAG 10 an LACP system priority of 3:

configure slot module

configure slot module

configure slot <slot> module <module_type>

Description
Configures a slot for a particular I/O module card in a modular switch.

Syntax Description
slot module_type Specifies the slot number. Specifies the type of module for which the slot should be configured. The list of modules you can enter will vary depending on the type of switch and version of ExtremeWare XOS you are running. Certain modules are supported only with specific ExtremeWare XOS Technology Releases.

Default
If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated.

Usage Guidelines
The configure slot module command displays different module parameters depending on the type of modular switch you are configuring and the version of ExtremeWare XOS running on the switch. You can also preconfigure the slot before inserting the module card. This allows you to begin configuring the module and ports before installing the card in the chassis. If a slot has not been configured for a particular type of I/O module, then any type of module is accepted in that slot, and a default port and VLAN configuration is automatically generated. If a slot is configured for one type of module, and a different type of module is inserted, the inserted module is put into a mismatch state, and is not brought online. To use the new module type in a slot, the slot configuration must be cleared or configured for the new module type. Upon powering up the chassis, or when an I/O module is hot-swapped, ExtremeWare XOS automatically determines the system power budget and protects the switch from any potential overpower configurations. If power is available, ExtremeWare XOS powers on and initializes the module. When ExtremeWare XOS detects that a module will cause an overpower condition, the module remains powered down, and is not initialized. An entry is made to the system log indicating the condition.

Example
The following command configures slot 2 for a 10/100/1000, 60-port, copper module:

port Specifies the logical port of a load-sharing group or link aggregation group (LAG). Specifies a port or a combination of the slot and port number.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
When sharing is disabled, the logical port retains all configuration including VLAN membership. All other member ports are removed from all VLANs to prevent loops and their configuration is reset to default values.

Example
The following command disables sharing on master logical port 9 in slot 3, which contains ports 9 through 12, on a modular switch:
disable sharing 3:9

disable slot

disable slot
disable slot <slot> {offline}

Description
Disables slot and leaves that module in a power down state.

Syntax Description
slot Offline Specifies the slot to be disabled. Specifies that the slot be disabled offline. NOTE: This parameter available on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) only.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
This command allows the user to disable a slot. When the user types this command, the I/O card in that particular slot number is brought down, and the slot is powered down. The LEDs on the card go OFF. A disabled slot can be re-enabled using the enable slot command. When the slot is re-enabled, the software on the I/O module is updated to match the software on the primary MSM. The show slot command, if invoked after the user disables the slot, shows this slot state as Power Off/Disabled. If there is no I/O card present in a slot when the user disables the slot, the slot still goes to the Disable state. If a card is inserted in a slot that has been disabled, the card does not come up and stays in the Power Off/Disabled state until the slot is enabled by using the enable slot command. below. If you do not save the configuration before you do a switch reboot, the slot will be re-enabled upon reboot. If you save the configuration after disabling a slot, the slot will remain disabled after a reboot. On Power over Ethernet (PoE) modules, disabling a slot also disables any inline power that in flowing to that slot. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches only (formerly known as Aspen). This command applies only to the data, or I/O ports on slots holding an MSM. The slots holding an MSM on the BlackDiamond 8810 switch are 5 and possibly 6; the slots holding an MSM on the BlackDiamond 8806 switch are 3 and possibly 4. Additionally, the offline parameter is applicable on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches.

disable smartredundancy
disable smartredundancy <port_list>

Description
Disables the Smart Redundancy feature.

Syntax Description
port_list Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
The Smart Redundancy feature works in concert with the software-controlled redundant feature. When Smart Redundancy is disabled, the switch attempts only to reset the primary port to active if the redundant port fails. That is, if you disable Smart Redundancy, the traffic does not automatically return to the primary port once it becomes active again; the traffic continues to flow through the redundant port even after the primary port comes up again.

Example
The following command disables the Smart Redundancy feature on ports 1:1 to 1:4 on a modular switch:
disable smartredundancy 1:1-4

enable mirroring to port

enable mirroring to port

enable mirroring to port [<port>] [tagged | untagged]

Description
Dedicates a port on the switch to be the mirror output port, or the monitor port.

Syntax Description
port tagged untagged Specifies the mirror output port. Specifies the mirror output, or monitor, port is tagged. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch. Specifies the mirror output, or monitor, port is untagged. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Port mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for packet analysis. The switch uses a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port. Up to 16 mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. After a port has been specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function. Frames that contain errors are not mirrored. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch only. The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:

Physical portAll data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the monitor port. You can specify which traffic the port mirrors:

IngressMirrors traffic received at the port. EgressMirrors traffic sent from the port. Ingress and egressMirrors all traffic forwarded by the port. (If you omit the optional parameters, all traffic is forwarded; the default for port-based mirroring is ingress and egress).

VLANAll data to a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is copied to the monitor port. Virtual portAll data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port. Only 8 VLANs can be mirrored on a given physical port. Only traffic ingressing a VLAN can be monitored; you cannot specify ingressing or egressing traffic when mirroring VLAN traffic.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

327

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch All traffic egressing the monitor port is tagged on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. Even if some untagged ports send mirrored traffic to the monitor port, that traffic also egresses the monitor port tagged with the internal VLAN ID.

NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch, mirroring and sFlow are mutually exclusive; you can enable either sFlow or mirroring but not both.

BlackDiamond 10K switch only. The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:

Physical portAll data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the monitor port. VLANAll data to and from a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is copied to the monitor port. Virtual portAll data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port. NOTE

Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.0, the monitor port must be explicitly configured for tagged or untagged. Mirroring configurations prior to 11.0 are restored as tagged monitor ports only.

The traffic egressing the monitor port can either be tagged or untagged. If the mirroring is enabled as tagged on the monitor port of the BlackDiamond 10K switch, all traffic egressing the monitor port is tagged. In this case, even if some untagged ports send mirrored traffic to the monitor port, that traffic also egresses the monitor port tagged. And, if mirroring is enabled as untagged on the monitor port, all traffic egressing the monitor port is untagged, including mirrored tagged packets. When you upgrade to 11.0, all restored mirroring configurations are tagged monitor ports only.

Example
The following example selects slot 3, port 4 as the mirror, or monitor, port on the BlackDiamond 8810 switch:
enable mirroring to port 3:4

The following example selects slot 1, port 3 as the tagged mirror, or monitor, port on the BlackDiamond 10K switch:

enable sharing grouping

enable sharing <port> grouping <port_list> {algorithm [port-based | address-based {L2|L3}]} {lacp}

Description
Enables the switch to configure port link aggregation, or load sharing. By using link aggregation, you use multiple ports as a single logical port. Link aggregation also provides redundancy because traffic is redistributed to the remaining ports in the LAG if one port in the group goes down. LACP allows the system to dynamically configure the LAGs.

Syntax Description
port port_list port-based address-based L2 | L3 Specifies the master logical port for a load-sharing group or link aggregation group (LAG). Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports to be grouped to the logical port. Specifies link aggregation by port-based algorithm. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch. Specifies link aggregation by address-based algorithm. Specifies address-based link aggregation by either Layer 2 or Layer 3; Layer 2 is the default value. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch. lacp Specifies dynamic link aggregation, or load sharing, using the LACP.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Link aggregation, or load sharing, allows you to increase bandwidth and availability between switches by using a group of ports to carry traffic in parallel between switches. The aggregation algorithm allows the switch to use multiple ports as a single logical port. For example, VLANs see the link aggregation group (LAG) as a single logical port. Groups can span multiple modules. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3, you can enable and configure dynamic link aggregation, using LACP. Static link aggregation is the default link aggregation method.

NOTE
Always verify the LACP configuration by issuing the show ports sharing command; look for the ports listed as being in the aggregator.

If a port in a LAG fails, traffic is redistributed to the remaining ports in the LAG. If the failed port becomes active again, traffic is redistributed to include that port.

330

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

enable sharing grouping Link aggregation must be enabled on both ends of the link, or a network loop will result.

NOTE
See ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide for information on the interaction of port-based ACLs and LAGs of ports.

Modular switch LAGs are defined according to the following rules:

Although you can reference only the logical port of a LAG to a Spanning Tree Domain (STPD), all the ports of a load-sharing group actually belong to the specified STPD. When using link aggregation, you should always reference the logical port of the LAG when configuring or viewing VLANs. VLANs configured to use other ports in the LAG will have those ports deleted from the VLAN when link aggregation becomes enabled.

Link aggregation, or load-sharing, algorithms allow you to select the distribution technique used by the LAG to determine the output port selection. Algorithm selection is not intended for use in predictive traffic engineering.

Port-basedUses the ingress port to determine which physical port in the LAG is used to forward traffic out of the switch. Address-basedUses addressing information to determine which physical port in the LAG to use for forwarding traffic out of the switch. Refer to configure sharing address-based for more information on using addressing information.

BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch only. The following guidelines apply to link aggregation on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch:

A static LAG, or load-sharing group, can include a maximum of 8 ports. An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 16 ports; out of these up to 8 can be selected links and the remaining 8 will be standby links. The maximum number of LAGs is 32. Any broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packet is queued to the logical port in the LAG. NOTE

You cannot configure port-based load sharing algorithm on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch; you configure only address-based load sharing algorithm.

The available address-based parameters on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch are L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3. If the packet is not IP, the switch applies the Layer 2 algorithm, which is the default setting. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.2, the switch can use IPv6 addresses. BlackDiamond 10K switch only. The following guidelines apply to load sharing on the BlackDiamond 10K switch:

A static LAG can include a maximum 16 ports. An LACP (dynamic) LAG can include a maximum of 32 ports; out of these up to 16 can be selected links and the remaining 16 will be standby links. The maximum number of LAGs is 128.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

331

Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, if you do not explicitly select an algorithm, the port-based scheme is used. However, the address-based algorithm has a more even distribution and is the recommended choice.

NOTE
You must use the configure sharing address-based command to configure address-based load sharing on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

Example
The following example defines a static link aggregation group (LAG) on a modular switch that contains ports 9 through 12 on slot 3, ports 7 through 10 on slot 5, and uses the first port on slot 3 as the logical port 9 on a modular switch:
enable sharing 3:9 grouping 3:9-3:12, 5:7-5:10

In this example, logical port 3:9 represents physical ports 3:9 through 3:12 and 5:7 through 5:10. The following example defines a dynamic LAG on a stand-alone switch containing ports 10 through 15, with port 10 being the logical port:
enable sharing 10 grouping 10-15 lacp

enable slot

enable slot
enable slot <slot>

Description
Enables slots.

Syntax Description
slot Specifies the slot to be enabled.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches, this command only applies to the data, or I/O, ports on slots holding an MSM (slot 5 and possibly 6 on the BlackDiamond 8810; slot 3 and possibly 4 on the BlackDiamond 8806 switch).

This command allows the user to enable a slot that has been previously disabled using the disable slot command.

NOTE
If your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough power to supply a slot, that slot will not be enabled; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough power for inline power.

When the user enters the enable command, the disabled I/O card in the specified slot is brought up, and the slot is made operational, if possible, or goes to the appropriate state as determined by the card state machine. The LEDs on the card are brought ON as usual. When the slot is enabled, the software on the I/O module is updated to match the software on the primary MSM. After the user enables the slot, the show slot command shows the state as Operational or will display the appropriate state if the card could not be brought up successfully. Note that there is no card state named Enable and the card goes to the appropriate states as determined by the card state machine when the enable slot command is invoked. Only slots that have their state as disabled can be enabled using this command. If this command is used on slots that are in states other than disabled, the card state machine takes no action on these slots. To enable inline power to a slot, the slot must be enabled as well as inline power for that slot. Use the
enable inline-power command to enable inline power.

LLDP Commands

Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2, the software supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP provides a standard method of discovering and representing the physical network connections of a given network management domain. LLDP works together with Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP). LLDP works together with Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP); it also works independently, you do not have to run EDP to use LLDP. The LLDP neighbor discovery protocol allows you to discover and maintain accurate network topologies in a multivendor environment. The one-way protocol LLDP protocol transmits periodic advertisements containing device information and media-specific configuration information to neighbors attached to the same network. LLDP agents cannot solicit information from other agents by way of this protocol. The type length value (TLV) format with link layer control frames is used to communicate with other LLDP agents. LLDP agents also receive link layer control frames, extract the information in TLVs, and store them in LLDP MIB objects. You configure LLDP per port, and each port can store received information for a maximum of four neighboring ports. All LLDP configurations are saved across reboots when you issue the save configuration command.

NOTE
Because each LLDP protocol data unit (LLDPDU) is limited to 1500 bytes, the system drops configured optional TLVs that exceed this limit. To see if your system is dropping TLVs, issue the show lldp statistics command.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

LLDP Commands

configure lldp ports management-address

configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise] management-address

Description
Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not to advertise management address information to its neighbors.

Syntax Description
all port_list advertise no-advertise Specifies all ports on the switch. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies to send the information to neighbors. Specifies not to send the information to neighbors.

Default
No advertise.

Usage Guidelines
With ExtremeWare XOS, you can only add one management address TLV per LLDPDU and the information must be the IP address configured on the management VLAN. If no IP address is assigned to the management VLAN, the system sends the system MAC address. LLDP does not send out IPv6 addresses in this field.

Example
The following command advertises the management address information for port 1:5:
configure lldp ports 1:5 advertise management-address

configure lldp ports vendor-specific dot1 port-vlan-ID

configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise] vendorspecific dot1 port-vlan-ID

Description
Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise port vlan ID information to its neighbors. This allows a VLAN bridge port to advertise the port VLAN identifier that is associated with untagged or priority-tagged frames.

Syntax Description
all port_list advertise no-advertise Specifies all ports on the switch. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies to send the information to neighbors. Specifies not to send the information to neighbors.

Default
No advertise.

Usage Guidelines
The port VLAN ID TLV allows the port to transmit the VLAN ID associated with untagged VLANs. There can be only one port VLAN ID in each LLPDU. If no untagged VLANs are configured on the specified port, the TLV is not added to the LLPDU, even if you configured this to advertise.

Example
The following command configures all ports to advertise port vlan ID information to neighbors:

configure lldp ports vendor-specific dot1 port-protocolvlan-ID

configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | no-advertise] vendorspecific dot1 port-protocol-vlan-ID {vlan [all | <vlan_name>]}

Description
Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise port VLAN information to its neighbors.

Syntax Description
all port_list advertise no-advertise all vlan_name Specifies all ports on the switch. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies to send the information to neighbors. Specifies not to send the information to neighbors. Specifies all VLANs on the port. Specifies the VLAN on the port that you want to advertise.

Default
No advertise.

Usage Guidelines
When configured to advertise, the switch inserts a port and protocol VLAN ID TLV for each VLAN configured on the ports. The port and protocol VLAN ID TLV allows the port to advertise if it supports protocol and/or tagged VLANs, along with the associated tagged values. A separate TLV is sent for each VLAN that you want to advertise. By default, once you configure this TLV, the system sends all protocol-based VLANs on the port. However, the LLDPDU cannot exceed 1500 bytes, so you should configure the port to advertise only the specified VLANs.

NOTE
The total LLPDU size is 1500 bytes; any TLVs after that limit are dropped.

This TLV does not send information on the type of protocol that the VLAN has enabled; it just says whether the port is enabled or disabled for protocol-based VLANs. As Extreme Networks devices are always capable of supporting protocol-based VLANs, once you configure this TLV, the system always advertises support these VLANs.

configure lldp ports vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name

configure lldp ports [all | <port_list>] [advertise | dont-advertise] vendor-specific dot1 vlan-name {vlan [all | <vlan_name>]}

Description
Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise VLAN name information to its neighbors. Use this TLV to advertise information for the tagged VLANs you want to specify on the port. This allows an IEEE 802.1Q-compatible 802 LAN station to advertise the assigned name of any VLAN with which it is configured.

Syntax Description
all port_list advertise no-advertise vlan vlan_name Specifies all ports on the switch. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies to send the information to neighbors. Specifies not to send the information to neighbors. Specifies all VLANs on the port. Specifies the VLAN on the port that you want to advertise.

Default
No advertise.

Usage Guidelines
The VLAN name TLV sends the VLAN name and the tag used; it associates a name to a tag for the specified VLAN. This allows an IEEE 802.1Q-compatible 802 LAN station to advertise the assigned name of any VLAN with which it is configured. You can enable this TLV for tagged and untagged VLANs. When you enable this TLV for tagged VLANs, the TLV advertises the IEEE 802.1Q tag for that VLAN. (For untagged VLANs, the internal tag is advertised.) You can specify exactly which VLANs to advertise. When configured to advertise, the switch inserts a VLAN name TLV for every VLAN configured on the ports. By default, once you configure this TLV, the system sends all VLAN names on the port. However, each VLAN name can require up to 32 bytes and the LLDPDU cannot exceed 1500 bytes, so you should configure the port to advertise only the specified VLANs, using the keyword vlan_name. NOTE
The total LLPDU size is 1500 bytes; any TLVs after that limit are dropped.

Power Over Ethernet Commands

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an effective method of supplying 48 VDC power to certain types of powered devices (PDs) through Category 5 or Category 3 twisted pair Ethernet cables. PDs include wireless access points, IP telephones, laptop computers, web cameras, and other devices. With PoE, a single Ethernet cable supplies power and the data connection, reducing costs associated with separate power cabling and supply. PoE for ExtremeWare XOS includes a method of detection to assure that power is delivered to devices that meet the IEEE 802.3af specification for PoE, as well as to many legacy devices.

Summary of PoE Software Features

The G48P PoE module for the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) supports the following PoE software features:

Configuration and control of the power distribution for PoE at the system, slot, and port levels Real-time discovery and classification of 802.3af-compliant PDs and many legacy (non-standard) devices Monitor and control of PoE fault conditions Support for configuring and monitoring PoE status at the system, slot, and port levels LED control for indicating the ports PoE inline power state Management of an over-subscribed power budget Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3, support for hitless failover in a chassis with two MSMs

For more conceptual information about configuring and managing PoE, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.

configure inline-power budget slot

configure inline-power budget <num_watts> slot <slot>

Description
Sets the reserved power on the specified slot to the specified watts.

Syntax Description
num_watts Specifies the number of watts to reserve for specified slot for inline power. Enter an integer. The minimum value is 37, or 0 if the slot is disabled; the maximum is 768; and the default value is 50. Specifies a slot. The slot must be configured to hold a PoE module.

slot

Default
50 W.

Usage Guidelines
This command sets the budgeted power reserved for all PDs connected to the specified slot in Watts. None of the power budget on a specified slot can be used to power other slots or PDs on other slots. You can modify the power budget without disabling the slot. If you specify a slot that is not configured to hold a PoE module, the system returns the following error message:
Error: Slot 2 is not capable of inline-power.

If the power consumption of the PDs on a specified slot exceeds this configured power budget, the system disconnects the lowest priority ports. (Refer to configure inline-power priority ports for information on configuring this parameter.) If you attempt to configure this power budget for a value that the system cannot safely provide, the system returns an error message. To display inline power settings, use the command show inlinepower; to display the power for the entire switch, use the command show power budget.

NOTE
You must disable inline power for a slot using the disable inline-power slot command prior to setting the budget to 0.

To reduce the chances of ports fluctuating between powered and non-powered states, newly inserted PDs are not powered when the actual delivered power for the module is within approximately 19 W of the configured inline power budget for that slot. However, actual aggregate power can be delivered up to the configured inline power budget for the slot (for example, when delivered power from ports increases or when the configured inline power budget for the slot is reduced).

configure inline-power disconnect-precedence

configure inline-power disconnect-precedence [deny-port | lowest-priority]

Description
Configures the disconnect precedence priority for the switch when a new PD is detected and the measured inline power for that slot is within 19 W or the slots PoE power budget.

Syntax Description
deny-port lowest-priority Specifies power be denied to PD requesting power, regardless of priority. Specifies power be withdrawn from lowest-priority port(s) when next PD requesting power connects.

Default
Deny-port.

Usage Guidelines
You configure this parameter for the entire switch; you cannot configure this per slot or per port. If the power supplied to the PDs on a slot exceeds the power that was budgeted for that slot, the system disconnects power to one or more ports to prevent power overload. Refer to configure inline-power budget slot for information on configuring and modifying the power budgeted for each slot. You configure the switch to either deny power to the next PD that requests power on that slot, regardless of the priority, or to disconnect those PDs on ports with lower priorities until there is enough power for the new PD. If you select this argument and you did not configure port priorities or if several ports have the same priority, the switch withdraws power (or disconnects) those ports with the highest port number (s). Refer to configure inline-power priority ports for information on configuring the PoE priority for the ports. The default value is deny-port. So, if you do not change the default value and the slots power is exceeded, the next PD requesting power will not be connected. When the setting is lowest priority, the switch continues dropping ports with the lowest configured PoE port priorities, or the highest port number in the case of equal PoE port priorities, until there is enough power for the requesting PD.

Example
The following command sets the switch to withdraw power from the lowest-priority port(s) on the switch:
configure inline-power disconnect-precedence lowest-priority

configure inline-power operator-limit ports

configure inline-power operator-limit <milliwatts> ports [all |<port_list>]

Description
Sets the power limit allowed for PDs connected to the specified ports.

Syntax Description
milliwatts An integer specifying the maximum allowed power in milliwatts; the range is 3000 to 16800 mW. NOTE: If you attempt to enter a higher value, the switch returns an error message. port_list Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.

Default

configure inline-power priority ports

configure inline-power priority ports

configure inline-power priority [critical | high | low] ports <port_list>

Description
Sets the PoE priority on the specified ports.

Syntax Description
critical | high | low port_list Sets the PoE priority for the specified ports. Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.

Default
Low.

Usage Guidelines
The system allocates power to those ports with the highest priorities first. This command can also be used in conjunction with the configure inline-power disconnect-precedence command. If you configure the disconnect precedence as lowest priority, then newly detected PDs will be powered if that port has higher priority than the existing powered ports. If there are multiple ports at the same priority level (either configured, or by default) and one of the ports must have power withdrawn because of excessive power demands, those ports with the lower port number are powered first. The higher port numbers have power withdrawn first in the case of equal PoE port priorities.

Example
The following command assigns a critical PoE priority on ports 4 6 on slot 3:
configure inline-power priority critical ports 3:4-3:6

Power Over Ethernet Commands

configure inline-power usage-threshold

configure inline-power usage-threshold <threshold>

Description
Sets the inline power usage SNMP event threshold.

Syntax Description
threshold Specifies the percentage of budgeted power used on any PoE module that causes the system to send an SNMP event and create a log message. The range 1 to 99; the default value is 70.

Default
70.

Usage Guidelines
This command sets the threshold for generating an SNMP event and an Event Management System (EMS) message when the measured power for a PoE module compared to the budgeted power for that slot exceeds a certain value. The configured threshold value initiates the event and message once that percentage of the budgeted power is being used. The PoE threshold applies only to the percentage per slot of measured to budgeted power use; it does not apply systemwide. The system generates an additional SNMP event and EMS message once the power usage falls below the threshold again; once the condition clears.

Example
The following command sets the inline power usage alarm threshold at 75%:
configure inline-power usage-threshold 75

disable inline-power

disable inline-power
disable inline-power

Description
Shuts down PoE power currently provided on all ports on all slots.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables

Default
Enable.

Usage Guidelines
You can control whether inline power is provided to the system by using the disable inline-power command and the enable inline-power command. Using the disable inline-power command shuts down inline power currently provided on the entire switch or to specified ports and slots. Disabling inline power to a switch, port, or slot immediately removes power to any connected PDs. By default, inline power provided to all ports is enabled. Disabling inline power does not allow PoE power reserved for slots to be allocated to other slots that may be needing more power to become operational. Disabling inline power using the disable inline-power command does not affect the data traffic traversing the port. And, disabling the port using the disable port command does not affect the inline power supplied to the port. However, when you issue the command disable slot on a slot holding a PoE module, the inline power is also disabled; that slot is totally offline.

NOTE
Inline power cannot be delivered to connected PDs unless the BlackDiamond 8800 chassis and module are powered.

Example
The following command shuts down inline power currently provided to all ports and all slots:
disable inline-power

disable inline-power legacy slot

disable inline-power legacy slot

disable inline-power legacy slot <slot>

Description
Disables the non-standard (or capacitance) power detection mechanism for the specified slot.

Syntax Description
slot Disables non-standard power detection for specified slot.

Default
Disable.

Usage Guidelines
This command disables the non-standard power-detection mechanism on the specified slot. Legacy PDs do not conform to the IEEE 802.3af standard but may be detected by the switch through a capacitance measurement. However, measuring the power through capacitance is used only if this parameter is enabled and after an unsuccessful attempt to discover the PD using the standard resistance measurement method. The default for legacy is disabled. The reason legacy detection is configurable is that it is possible for a normal (non-PoE) device to have a capacitance signature that causes the device to be detected as a legacy PoE device and have power delivered to it, potentially causing damage to the device.

Example
The following command disables capacitance detection of PDs on slot 3:
disable inline-power legacy slot 3

Enables PoE power to all ports on all slots.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enable.

Usage Guidelines
You can control whether inline power is provided to the system by using the disable inline-power command and the enable inline-power command. By default, inline power provided to all ports is enabled. Enabling inline power starts the PoE detection process used to discover, classify, and power remote PDs.

NOTE
If your chassis has an inline power module and there is not enough power to supply a slot, that slot will not be powered on; the slot will not function in data-only mode without enough power for inline power.

Disabling inline power using the disable inline-power command does not affect the data traffic traversing the port. And, disabling the port using the disable port command does not affect the inline power supplied to the port. However, when you issue the command disable slot on a slot holding a PoE module, the inline power is also disabled; that slot is totally offline.

NOTE

NOTE
For additional information on inline power parameters, refer to the show power budget command.

To reduce the chances of ports fluctuating between powered and non-powered states, newly inserted PDs are not powered when the actual delivered power for the module is within approximately 19 W of the configured inline power budget for that slot. However, actual aggregate power can be delivered up to the configured inline power budget for the slot (for example, when delivered power from ports increases or when the configured inline power budget for the slot is reduced).

unconfigure inline-power priority ports

unconfigure inline-power priority ports [all | <port_list>]

Description
Unconfigures the PoE priority on the specified ports, and returns the ports to the default PoE port priority value of low.

Syntax Description
all port_list Specifies all ports. Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.

Default
Low.

Usage Guidelines
Use this to reset the PoE port priority on specified ports to the default value of low. If there are multiple ports at the same priority level (either configured, or by default) and one of the ports must have power withdrawn because of excessive power demands, those ports with the lower port number are powered first. The higher port numbers have power withdrawn first in the case of equal PoE port priorities.

Example
The following command resets the PoE priority on ports 4 6 on slot 3 to low:
unconfigure inline-power priority ports 3:4-3:6

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics

This chapter describes commands for:

Configuring and managing the Event Management System/Logging Configuring and monitoring system health and statistics Enabling and disabling the collection of remote monitoring (RMON) statistics on the switch Enabling, disabling, and configuring sFlow statistics collection

Event Management System

When an event occurs on a switch, the Event Management System (EMS) allows you to send messages generated by these events to a specified log target. You can send messages to the memory buffer, NVRAM, the console display, the current session, to a syslog host, or to the other Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM). The log messages contain configuration and fault information pertaining to the device. You can format the log messages to contain various items of information, but typically a message consists of:

TimestampThe timestamp records when the event occurred. Severity level:

CriticalA desired switch function is inoperable. The switch may need to be reset. ErrorA problem is interfering with normal operation. WarningAn abnormal condition exists that may lead to a function failure. NoticeA normal but significant condition has been detected; the system is functioning as expected. InfoActions and events that are consistent with expected behavior. Debug-Summary, Debug-Verbose, and Debug -DataInformation that is useful when performing detailed trouble shooting procedures.

By default, log entries that are assigned a critical, error, or warning level are considered static entries and remain in the NVRAM log target after a switch reboot.

ComponentThe component refers to the specific functional area to which the error refers. MessageThe message contains the log information with text that is specific to the problem.

The switch maintains a configurable number of messages in its internal (memory-buffer) log (1000 by default). You can display a snapshot of the log at any time. In addition to viewing a snapshot of the log, you can configure the system to maintain a running real-time display of log messages on the console display or telnet session. In addition to maintaining an internal log, the switch supports remote logging by way of the UNIX syslog host facility. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, EMS supports IPv6 as a parameter for filtering events.

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics

sFlow Statistics
sFlow is a technology for monitoring traffic in data networks containing switches and routers. It relies on statistical sampling of packets from high-speed networks, plus periodic gathering of the statistics. A User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagram format is defined to send the information to an external entity for analysis. sFlow consists of a (Management Information Base) MIB and a specification of the packet format for forwarding information to a remote agent. Details of sFlow specifications can be found in RFC 3176 and at the following website: http://www.sflow.org ExtremeWare XOS allows you to collect sFlow statistics on a per port basis. An agent, residing locally on the switch, sends data to a collector that resides on another machine. You configure the local agent, the address of the remote collector, and the ports of interest for sFlow statistics gathering. You can also modify default values for how frequently on average a sample is taken, how often the data is sent to the collector, and the maximum load allowed on the CPU before throttling the statistics gathering.

RMON
RMON is the common abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring Management Information Base (MIB) system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents RFC 1757 and RFC 2021, which allows you to monitor LANs remotely. Using the RMON capabilities of the switch allows network administrators to improve system efficiency and reduce the load on the network. The IETF defines nine groups of Ethernet RMON statistics. The switch supports the following four of these groups, as defined in RFC 1757:

Statistics History Alarms Events

The switch also supports the following parameters for configuring the RMON probe and the trap destination table, as defined in RFC 2021:

clear counters

clear counters
clear counters

Description
Clears all switch statistics and port counters, including port packet statistics, bridging statistics, IP statistics, and log event counters.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You should view the switch statistics and port counters before you clear them. Use the show ports command to view port statistics. Use the show log counters command to show event statistics. The CLI also provides a number of options that you can specify with the clear counters command. If you specify an option, the switch only clears the statistics for that option. For example, if you want to clear, reset only the STP statistics and counters, use the clear counters stp command. Please refer to the specific chapter in the ExtremeWare XOS Command Reference Guide for more detailed information about those commands. Viewing and maintaining statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause major network faults. By clearing the counters, you can see fresh statistics for the time period you are monitoring.

Example
The following command clears all switch statistics and port counters:

clear log
clear log {error-led | static | messages [memory-buffer | nvram]}

Description
Clears the log messages in memory and NVRAM, and clears the ERR LED on the MSM.

Syntax Description
error-led static memory-buffer nvram Clears the ERR LED on the MSM. Specifies that the messages in the NVRAM and memory-buffer targets are cleared, and the ERR LED on the MSM is cleared. Clears entries from the memory buffer. Clears entries from NVRAM.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The switch log tracks configuration and fault information pertaining to the device. By default, log entries that are sent to the NVRAM remain in the log after a switch reboot. The clear log and clear log messages memory-buffer commands remove entries in the memory buffer target; the clear log static and clear log messages nvram commands remove messages from the NVRAM target. In addition, the clear log static command will also clear the memory buffer target. There are three ways to clear the ERR LED. Clear the log, reboot the switch, or use the clear log error-led command. To clear the ERR LED without rebooting the switch or clearing the log messages, use the clear log error-led command.

Example
The following command clears all log messages, from the NVRAM:

clear log counters {<event-condition> | [all | <event-component>] {severity <severity> {only}}}

Description
Clears the incident counters for events.

Syntax Description
event-condition all event-component severity only Specifies the event condition counter to clear. Specifies that all events counters are to be cleared. Specifies that all the event counters associated with a particular component should be cleared. Specifies the minimum severity level of event counters to clear (if the keyword only is omitted). Specifies that only event counters of the specified severity level are to be cleared.

Default
If severity is not specified, then the event counters of any severity are cleared in the specified component.

Usage Guidelines
This command sets the incident counters to zero for each event specified. To display event counters, use the following command:

Syntax Description
severity only Specifies a message severity. Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data. Specifies only log messages of the specified severity level.

Default
If not specified, messages of all severities are displayed on the console display.

Usage Guidelines
You must enable the log display before messages are displayed on the log display. Use the enable log display command to enable the log display. This allows you to configure the system to maintain a running real-time display of log messages on the console. Severity filters the log to display messages with the selected severity or higher (more critical). Severities include critical, error, warning, info, notice, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data. You can also control log data to different targets. The command equivalent to configure log display is the following:
configure log target console-display severity <severity>

To display the current configuration of the log display, use the following command:
show log configuration target console-display

Example
The following command configures the system log to maintain a running real-time display of log messages of critical severity or higher:

configure log filter events

configure log filter events

configure log filter <name> [add | delete] {exclude} events [<eventcondition> | [all | <event-component>] {severity <severity> {only}}]

Description
Configures a log filter to add or delete detailed feature messages based on a specified set of events.

Syntax Description
name add delete exclude event-condition all event-component severity only Specifies the filter to configure. Add the specified events to the filter Remove the specified events from the filter Events matching the specified events will be excluded Specifies an individual event. Specifies all components and subcomponents. Specifies all the events associated with a particular component. Specifies the minimum severity level of events (if the keyword only is omitted). Specifies only events of the specified severity level.

Default
If the exclude keyword is not used, the events will be included by the filter. If severity is not specified, then the filter will use the component default severity threshold (see the note on page 464 when delete or exclude is specified).

Usage Guidelines
This command controls the incidents that pass a filter by adding, or deleting, a specified set of events. If you want to configure a filter to include or exclude incidents based on event parameter values (for example, MAC address or BGP Neighbor) see the command configure log filter events match on page 466. When the add keyword is used, the specified event name is added to the beginning of the filter item list maintained for this filter. The new filter item either includes the events specified, or if the exclude keyword is present, excludes the events specified. The delete keyword is used to remove events from the filter item list that were previously added using the add command. All filter items currently in the filter item list that are identical to, or a subset of, the set of events specified in the delete command will be removed. Event Filtering Process. From a logical standpoint, the filter associated with each enabled log target is examined to determine whether a message should be logged to that particular target. The determination is made for a given filter by comparing the incident with the most recently configured filter item first. If the incident matches this filter item, the incident is either included or excluded, depending on whether

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics the exclude keyword was used. Subsequent filter items on the list are compared if necessary. If the list of filter items has been exhausted with no match, the incident is excluded. Events, Components, and Subcomponents. As mentioned, a single event can be included or excluded by specifying the events name. Multiple events can be added or removed by specifying an ExtremeWare XOS component name plus an optional severity. Some components, such as BGP, contain subcomponents, such as Keepalive, which is specified as BGP.Keepalive. Either components or subcomponents can be specified. The keyword all in place of a component name can be used to indicate all ExtremeWare XOS components. Severity Levels. When an individual event name is specified following the events keyword, no severity value is needed since each event has pre-assigned severity. When a component, subcomponent, or the all keyword is specified following the events keyword, a severity value is optional. If no severity is specified, the severity used for each applicable subcomponent is obtained from the pre-assigned severity threshold levels for those subcomponents. For example, if STP were specified as the component, and no severity is specified for the add of an include item, then only messages with severity of error and greater would be passed, since the threshold severity for the STP component is error. If STP.InBPDU were specified as the component, and no severity is specified, then only messages with severity of warning and greater would be passed, since the threshold severity for the STP.InPBDU subcomponent is warning. Use the show log components command to see this information. The severity keyword all can be used as a convenience when delete or exclude is specified. The use of delete (or exclude) with severity all deletes (or excludes) previously added events of the same component of all severity values.

NOTE
If no severity is specified when delete or exclude is specified, severity all is used

If the only keyword is present following the severity value, then only the events in the specified component at that exact severity are included. Without the only keyword, events in the specified component at that severity or more urgent are included. For example, using the option severity warning implies critical, error, or warning events, whereas the option severity warning only implies warning events only. Severity all only is not a valid choice. Any EMS events with severity debug-summary, debug-verbose, or debug-data will not be logged unless debug mode is enabled Filter Optimization. Each time a configure log filter command is issued for a given filter name, the events specified are compared against the current configuration of the filter to try to logically simplify the configuration. For example, if the command:
configure log filter bgpFilter1 add events bgp.keepalive severity error only

were to be followed by the command:

configure log filter bgpFilter1 add events bgp severity info

the filter item in the first command is automatically deleted since all events in the BGP.Keepalive subcomponent at severity error would be also included as part of the second command, making the first command redundant.

configure log filter <name> [add | delete] {exclude} events [<eventcondition> | [all | <event-component>] {severity <severity> {only}}] [match | strict-match] <type> <value>

Description
Configures a log filter to add or delete detailed feature messages based on a specified set of events and match parameter values.

Syntax Description
name add delete exclude event-condition all event-component severity only match strict-match type value Specifies the filter to configure. Add the specified events to the filter. Remove the specified events from the filter. Events matching the filter will be excluded. Specifies the event condition. Specifies all events. Specifies all the events associated with a particular component. Specifies the minimum severity level of events (if the keyword only is omitted). Specifies only events of the specified severity level. Specifies events whose parameter values match the <type> <value> pair. Specifies events whose parameter values match the <type> <value> pair, and possess all the parameters specified. Specifies the type of parameter to match. For more information about types and values see Types and Values on page 467. Specifies the value of the parameter to match. For more information about types and values see Types and Values on page 467.

Default
If the exclude keyword is not used, the events will be included by the filter. If severity is not specified, then the filter will use the component default severity threshold (see the note on on page 464 when delete or exclude is specified).

Usage Guidelines
This command controls the incidents that pass a filter by adding, or deleting, a specified set of events that match a list of <type> <value> pairs. This command is an extension of the command configure log filter events, and adds the ability to filter incidents based on matching specified event parameter values to the event. See the configure log filter events command on page 463 for more information on specifying and using filters, on event conditions and components, and on the details of the filtering process. The discussion here is about the concepts of matching <type> <value> pairs to more narrowly define filters.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure log filter events match Types and Values. Each event in ExtremeWare XOS is defined with a message format and zero or more parameter types. The show log events command on page 549 can be used to display event definitions (the event text and parameter types). The syntax for the parameter types (represented by <type> in the command syntax above) is:
[address-family [ipv4-multicast | ipv4-unicast | ipv6-multicast | ipv6-unicast] | bgp-neighbor <ip address> | bgp-routerid <ip address> | eaps <eaps domain name> | {destination | source} [ipaddress <ip address> | L4-port | mac-address ] | esrp <esrp domain name> | {egress | ingress} [slot <slot number> | ports <portlist>] | ipaddress <ip address> | L4-port <L4-port> | mac-address <mac_address> | netmask <netmask> | number <number> | port <portlist> | process <process name> | slot <slotid> | string <match expression> | vlan <vlan name> | vlan tag <vlan tag>]

NOTE
The slot parameters are available only on modular switches.

Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, you can specify the ipaddress type as IPv4 or IPv6, depending on the IP version. The following examples show how to configure IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses:

IPv4 address To configure an IP address, with a mask of 32 assumed, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 12.0.0.1

To configure a range of IP addresses with a mask of 8, use the following command:

configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 12.0.0.0/8

IPv6 address To configure an IPv6 address, with a mask of 128 assumed, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 3ffe::1

To configure a range of IPv6 addresses with a mask of 16, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 3ffe::/16

IPv6 scoped address IPv6 scoped addresses consist of an IPv6 address and a VLAN. The following examples identify a link local IPv6 address. To configure a scoped IPv6 address, with a mask of 128 assumed, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 3ffe::1%Default

To configure a range of scoped IPv6 addresses with a mask of 16, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 3ffe::/16%Default

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

467

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics To configure a scoped IPv6 address with any VLAN, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress 3ffe::/16%*

To configure any scoped IPv6 address with a specific VLAN, use the following command:
configure log filter myFilter add events all match ipaddress ::/0%Default

NOTE
In the previous example, if you specify the VLAN name, it must be a full match; wild cards are not allowed.

The <value> depends on the parameter type specified. As an example, an event may contain a physical port number, a source MAC address, and a destination MAC address. To allow only those incidents with a specific source MAC address, use the following in the command:
configure log filter myFilter add events aaa.radius.requestInit secerity notice match source mac-address 00:01:30:23:C1:00 configure log filter myFilter add events bridge severity notice match source macaddress 00:01:30:23:C1:00

The string type is used to match a specific string value of an event parameter, such as a user name. A string can be specified as a simple regular expression. Match Versus Strict-Match. The match and strict-match keywords control the filter behavior for incidents whose event definition does not contain all the parameters specified in a configure log filter events match command. This is best explained with an example. Suppose an event in the XYZ component, named XYZ.event5, contains a physical port number, a source MAC address, but no destination MAC address. If you configure a filter to match a source MAC address and a destination MAC address, XYZ.event5 will match the filter when the source MAC address matches regardless of the destination MAC address, since the event contains no destination MAC address. If you specify the strict-match keyword, then the filter will never match, since XYZ.event5 does not contain the destination MAC address. In other words, if the match keyword is specified, an incident will pass a filter so long as all parameter values in the incident match those in the match criteria, but all parameter types in the match criteria need not be present in the event definition. More Information. See the command show log on page 532 for more information about severity levels. To get a listing of the components present in the system, use the following command:

Example
By default, all log targets are associated with the built-in filter, DefaultFilter. Therefore, the most straightforward way to send additional messages to a log target is to modify DefaultFilter. In the following example, the command modifies the built-in filter to allow incidents in the STP component, and all subcomponents of STP, of severity critical, error, warning, notice and info. For any of these events containing a physical port number as a match parameter, limit the incidents to only those occurring on physical ports 3, 4 and 5 on slot 1, and all ports on slot 2:

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure log target filter This command associates the specified filter and severity with the specified target. A filter limits messages sent to a target. Although each target can be configured with its own filter, by default, all targets are associated with the built-in filter, DefaultFilter. Each target can also be configured with its own severity level. This provides the ability to associate multiple targets with the same filter, while having a configurable severity level for each target. A message is sent to a target if the target has been enabled, the message passes the associated filter, the message is at least as severe as the configured severity level, and the message output matches the regular expression specified. By default, the memory buffer, NVRAM, primary MSM, and backup MSM targets are enabled. For other targets, use the command enable log target on page 520. Table 13describes the default characteristics of each type of target.

Table 13: Default target log characteristics

Target console display memory buffer NVRAM primary MSM backup MSM session syslog Enabled no yes yes yes yes no no Severity Level info debug-data warning error error info debug-data

The built-in filter, DefaultFilter, and a severity level of info are used for each new telnet session. These values may be overridden on a per-session basis using the configure log target filter command and specify the target as session. Use the following form of the command for per-session configuration changes:
configure log target session filter <filter name> {severity <severity> {only}}

Configuration changes to the current session target are in effect only for the duration of the session, and are not saved in FLASH memory. The session option can also be used on the console display, if the changes are desired to be temporary. If changes to the console-display are to be permanent (saved to FLASH memory), use the following form of the command:
configure log target console filter <filter name> {severity <severity> {only}}

Modular Switches Only. If the condition for the backup-msm target is met by a message generated on the primary, the event is sent to the backup MSM. When the backup MSM receives the event, it will see if any of the local targets (nvram, memory, or console) are matched. If so it gets processed. The session and syslog targets are disabled on the backup MSM, as they are handled on the primary. If the condition for the primary-msm target is met by a message generated on the backup, the event is sent to the primary MSM. Note that the backup-msm target is only active on the primary MSM, and the primary-msm target is only active on the backup MSM.

configure sflow agent ipaddress

configure sflow agent ipaddress

configure sflow agent {ipaddress} <ip-address>

Description
Configures the sFlow agents IP address.

Syntax Description
ip-address Specifies the IP address from which sFlow data is sent on the switch.

Default
The default configured IP address is 0.0.0.0, but the effective IP address is the management port IP address.

Usage Guidelines
This command allows you to configure the IP address of the sFlow agent. Typically, you would set this to the IP address used to identify the switch in the network management tools that you use. The agent address is stored in the payload of the sFlow data, and is used by the sFlow collector to identify each agent uniquely. The default configured value is 0.0.0.0, but the switch will use the management port IP address if it exists. Both the commands unconfigure sflow and unconfigure sflow agent will reset the agent parameter to the default.

Example
The following command sets the sFlow agents IP address to 10.2.0.1:

configure sflow collector {ipaddress} <ip-address> {port <udp-port-number>} {vr <vrname>}

Description
Configures the sFlow collector IP address.

Syntax Description
ip-address udp-port-number vrname Specifies the IP address to send the sFlow data. Specifies the UDP port to send the sFlow data. Specifies from which virtual router to send the sFlow data. NOTE: The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

Default
The following values are the defaults for this command:

UDP port number6343 Virtual routerVR-Mgmt (previously called VR-0).

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

This command allows you to configure where to send the sFlow data. You must specify an IP address for the sFlow data collector, and you may specify a particular UDP port, if your collector uses a nonstandard port. You may also need to specify from which virtual router to send the data. You can configure up to four sFlow collectors. Each unique IP address/UDP port/virtual router combination identifies a collector. Both the commands unconfigure sflow and unconfigure sflow collector will reset the collector parameters to the default.

Example
The following command specifies that sFlow data should be sent to port 6343 at IP address 192.168.57.1 using the virtual router VR-Mgmt:

configure sflow max-cpu-sample-limit

configure sflow max-cpu-sample-limit <rate>

Description
Configures the maximum number of sFlow samples handled by the CPU per second.

Syntax Description
rate Specifies the maximum sFlow samples per second.

Default
The default value is 2000 samples per second.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the maximum number of samples sent to the CPU per second. If this rate is exceeded, the internal sFlow CPU throttling mechanism kicks in to limit the load on the CPU. Every time the limit is reached, the sample rate is halved (the value of number in the configure sflow sample-rate <number> or configure sflow ports <portlist> sample-rate <number> command is doubled), on the slot on which maximum number of packets were received during the last snapshot. This effectively halves the sampling frequency of all the ports on that slot with a sub-sampling factor of 1. The sampling frequency of ports on that slot with a sub-sampling factor greater than 1 will not change; the sub-sampling factor is also halved so the that the same rate of samples are sent from that port. The maximum CPU sample rate is based on the total number of samples received from all the sources. The valid range is 100 to 5000 samples per second.

Example
The following command specifies that the sFlow maximum CPU sample rate should be set to 4000 samples per second:

configure sflow poll-interval

configure sflow poll-interval

configure sflow poll-interval <seconds>

Description
Configures the sFlow counter polling interval.

Syntax Description
seconds Specifies the number of seconds between polling each counter. The value can range from 0 to 3600 seconds.

Default
The default polling interval is 20 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Each sFlow statistics counter is polled at regular intervals, and this data is then sent to the sFlow collector. This command is used to set the polling interval. To manage CPU load, polling for sFlow enabled ports are distributed over the polling interval, so that all ports are not polled at the same instant. For example, if the polling interval is 20 seconds and there are twenty counters, data is collected successively every second. Specifying a poll interval of 0 (zero) seconds disables polling.

Example
The following command sets the polling interval to 60 seconds:
configure sflow poll-interval 60

configure sflow ports sample-rate

configure sflow ports <portlist> sample-rate <number>

Description
Configures the sFlow per-port sampling rate.

Syntax Description
portlist number Specifies a list of ports. Specifies the fraction (1/number) of packets to be sampled.

Default
The default number is 8192, unless modified by the configure sflow sample-rate command.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the sampling rate on a particular set of ports, and overrides the system-wide value set in the configure sflow sample-rate command. The rate is rounded off to the next power of two, so if 400 is specified, the sample rate is configured as 512. The valid range is 1 to 536870912. For BlackDiamond 10K only. At the hardware level, the sampling rate for all ports on a slot is the same. Ports that are configured for fewer samples than other ports on the slot (the number parameter is larger) still take the same amount of samples at the hardware level as ports configured for more samples. The excess samples are discarded. This mechanism is displayed in the show sflow {configuration} command as the sub-sampling factor. For example, if one port is configured for a sample rate of 1024, and a second port on the same slot is configured for a sample rate of 4096, the second ports hardware actually samples one out of 1024 packets, but only saves the information for one out of four of those samples. In this example, the sub-sampling factor is four. Configuring a lower number for the sample rate means that more samples will be taken, increasing the load on the switch. Do not configure the sample rate to a number lower than the default unless you are sure that the traffic rate on the source is low. If the rate of samples going to the CPU exceeds a limit, set with the configure sflow max-cpusample-limit command, then the sample rate number will be doubled, effectively reducing the rate by one-half. Under those conditions, the configured rate may not be the actual rate of sampling. The output of the show sflow configuration command will display the configured and actual rate of sampling. For the Summit X450 only. At the hardware level, all ports on the switch are sampled at the same rate, so if one port is configured to sample less frequently than another, the extra samples are discarded. This is indicated in the output of the show sflow {configuration} command as the sub-sampling factor. For example, if one port is configured to sample one packet per every 8192 packets, and the second port on the same slot is configured to sample one packet per every 16384 packets, the second port will show a sub-sampling factor of two.

Configures the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets and the polling interval.

Syntax Description
interval BlackDiamond 10K switchSpecifies the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets and polling the ASIC counters. If backplane diagnostic packets are enabled on a particular slot, the default value for sending diagnostic packets and polling the ASIC counters is 6 seconds on that slot. If only polling occurs (this is the system default), the default value is 60 seconds. The polling interval is interval*10 seconds. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switchesSpecifies the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets.

If only polling occurs (this is the system default), the default value is 5 seconds. (The polling interval is not a user-configured parameter, and polling always occurs.)

Default
Depending upon your platform, the following defaults apply:

BlackDiamond 10K switch:

If backplane diagnostics packets are enabled on a particular slot, the default for sending packets and for polling is 6 seconds on that slot. If only polling occurs, the default polling interval is 60 seconds (interval*10 seconds). If backplane diagnostics are enabled on a particular slot, the default for sending packets is 5 seconds on that slot.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command with the guidance of Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. The system health checker tests I/O modules and the backplane by forwarding backplane diagnostic packets. On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, additional checking for the validity of these packets is completed by performing a checksum. Use this command to configure the amount of time it takes for the packets to be forwarded and returned to the MSM.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

491

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics

sys-health-check interval command specifies the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets. For example, if you specify an interval of 9, backplane diagnostic packets are sent every 9 seconds on only the enabled slot.

NOTE
Extreme Networks does not recommend configuring an interval of less than the default interval. Doing this can cause excessive CPU utilization.

BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. If backplane diagnostic packets are disabled, you can use this command to configure the global polling interval on the switch. When you enable backplane diagnostic packets with the enable sys-health-check slot <slot> command, the interval option also specifies the polling frequency on that slot. For example, if you specify an interval of 9, backplane diagnostic packets are sent and polling occurs every 9 seconds for only the enabled slot. You can also use the configure sys-health-check interval command to modify the global polling interval on the switch. With only polling enabled, the interval option specifies the frequency of polling on all slots. Therefore, if you configure the interval to 8 seconds, the polling interval is updated to 80 seconds (interval*10 seconds). If backplane diagnostic packets are enabled on a slot and you modify the polling interval on the switch, the new interval value takes precedence. For example, if you configure the interval to 7 seconds, the polling interval is updated to 70 seconds on all slots with backplane diagnostics disabled. On the slot with backplane diagnostic packets enabled, backplane diagnostic packets are sent and polling occurs every 7 seconds. To return to the default of sending diagnostic packets every 6 seconds and the system polling every 60 seconds, specify 6 for the interval. By default, the system health checker always polls and tracks the ASIC counters that collect correctable and uncorrectable packet memory errors, checksum errors, and parity errors on a per ASIC basis. You must enable the backplane diagnostic packets feature to send backplane diagnostic packets. BlackDiamond 8800 Family of Switches Only. By default, the system health checker always polls the control plane health between MSMs and I/O modules, monitors memory levels on the I/O module, monitors the health of the I/O module, and checks the health of applications and processes running on the I/O module. If the system health checker detects an error, the health checker notifies the MSM. You must enable the backplane diagnostic packets feature to send backplane diagnostic packets. If you enable this feature, the system health checker tests the data link for a specific I/O module every 5 seconds by default. The MSM sends and receives diagnostic packets from the I/O module to determine the state and connectivity. If you disable backplane diagnostics, the system health checker stops sending backplane diagnostic packets.

configure sys-recovery-level slot

configure sys-recovery-level slot <slot_number> [none | reset]

Description
Configures a recovery option for instances where an exception occurs on the specified MSM or I/O module.

Syntax Description
slot_number Specifies the slot of the MSM or I/O module. A and BIndicate an MSM 1 through 10Indicate an I/O module none Configures the MSM or I/O module to maintain its current state regardless of the detected fault. The offending MSM or I/O module is not reset. For more information about the states of an MSM or I/O module see the show slot command. Specifies that the offending MSM or I/O module be reset upon fault detection. For more detailed information, see the Usage Guidelines described below.

reset

Default
The default setting is reset.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command for system troubleshooting. You can configure the MSMs or I/O modules installed in a modular switch to take no action, automatically reset, or if dual MSMs are installed, failover to the other MSM, if the switch detects a faulty MSM or I/O module. This enhanced level of recovery detects faults in the ASICs as well as packet buses. You must specify one of the following parameters for the system to respond to MSM or I/O module failures:

noneConfigures the MSM or I/O module to maintain its current state regardless of the detected

fault. The offending MSM or I/O module is not reset.

resetSpecifies that the offending MSM or I/O module be reset upon fault detection.

To get the most from module recovery, Extreme Networks recommends using the default settings for both system recovery and module recovery. The default setting for system recovery is all, and the default setting for module recovery is reset. For more information about system recovery, see the configure sys-recovery-level [all | none] command. By using the default settings, the switch resets the offending MSM or I/O module if fault detection occurs. An offending MSM is reset any number of times, and the MSM is not permanently taken offline. On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, an offending I/O module is reset a maximum of three times. On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches, an offending I/O module is reset a maximum of five times. After the maximum number of resets, the I/O module is permanently taken offline.

configure syslog {add} [<ipaddress> | <ipPort>] {vr <vr_name>} [local0 ... local7] {<severity>}

Description
Configures the remote syslog server host address, and filters messages to be sent to the remote syslog target.

Syntax Description
ipaddress ipPort vr_name Specifies the remote syslog server IP address. Specifies the UDP port number for the syslog target. Specifies the virtual router that can reach the server IP address. NOTE: The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs. local0 ... local7 severity Specifies the local syslog facility. Specifies a message severity. Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data.

Default
If a severity level is not specified, all messages are sent to the remote syslog server target. If a virtual router is not specified, VR-Mgmt is used. If UDP port is not specified, 514 is used.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

Options for configuring the remote syslog server include:

ipaddressThe IP address of the remote syslog server host. ipPortThe UDP port. local0-local7The syslog facility level for local use. vr_nameThe virtual router that can reach the syslog host. severityFilters the messages sent to the remote syslog server target to have the selected severity or higher (more critical). Severities include critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug-summary, debugverbose, and debug-data.

The switch log overwrites existing log messages in a wrap-around memory buffer, which may cause you to lose valuable information once the buffer becomes full. The remote syslog server does not overwrite log information, and can store messages in non-volatile files (disks, for example).

create log filter

create log filter <name> {copy <filter name>}

Description
Creates a log filter with the specified name.

Syntax Description
name copy filter name Specifies the name of the filter to create. Specifies that the new filter is to be copied from an existing one. Specifies the existing filter to copy.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command creates a filter with the name specified. A filter is a customizable list of events to include or exclude, and optional parameter values. The list of events can be configured by component or subcomponent with optional severity, or individual condition, each with optional parameter values. See the commands configure log filter events and configure log filter events match for details on how to add items to the filter. The filter can be associated with one or more targets using the configure log target filter command to control the messages sent to those targets. The system has one built-in filter named DefaultFilter, which itself may be customized. Therefore, the create log filter command can be used if a filter other than DefaultFilter is desired. As its name implies, DefaultFilter initially contains the default level of logging in which every ExtremeWare XOS component and subcomponent has a preassigned severity level. If another filter needs to be created that will be similar to an existing filter, use the copy option to populate the new filter with the configuration of the existing filter. If the copy option is not specified, the new filter will have no events configured and therefore no incidents will pass through it. The total number of supported filters, including DefaultFilter, is 20.

Example
The following command creates the filter named fdb2, copying its configuration from the filter DefaultFilter:
create log filter fdb2 copy DefaultFilter

Default
Polling is enabled, backplane diagnostic packets are disabled. Depending upon your platform, when disabling backplane diagnostic packets, the following defaults apply:

BlackDiamond 10K switchBy default, the system health checker discontinues sending backplane diagnostic packets and returns the polling frequency to 60 seconds on the specified slot. Only polling is enabled. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switchesBy default, the system health checker discontinues sending backplane diagnostic packets to the specified slot. Only polling is enabled.

Usage Guidelines
When you use this command, backplane diagnostic packets are disabled and no longer sent by the system health checker. BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. If you use this command, in addition to disabling backplane diagnostic packets, the polling frequency returns to the default of 60 seconds for the specified slot. If you modify the interval in the configure sys-health-check interval <interval> command, the polling frequency is interval*10 seconds. For example, if you configured an interval of 7, the polling frequency is now 70 seconds. BlackDiamond 8800 Family of Switches Only. If you modify the interval in the configure syshealth-check interval <interval> command and later disable backplane diagnostics, the configured interval for sending backplane diagnostic packets remains. The next time you enable backplane diagnostic packets, the health checker sends backplane diagnostics packets at the configured interval. For example, if you configure an interval of 8 seconds, the system health checker sends backplane diagnostic packets every 8 seconds. To return to the "default" interval of 5 seconds, configure the frequency of sending backplane diagnostic packets to 5 seconds using the following command:

Description
Enables the collection of RMON statistics on the switch.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
By default, RMON is disabled. However, even in the disabled state, the switch responds to RMON queries and sets for alarms and events. By enabling RMON, the switch begins the processes necessary for collecting switch statistics.

Usage Guidelines
The switch supports four out of nine groups of Ethernet RMON statistics. In an enabled state, the switch responds to the following four groups:

StatisticsThe RMON Ethernet Statistics group provides traffic and error statistics showing packets, bytes, broadcasts, multicasts, and errors on a LAN segment or VLAN. HistoryThe History group provides historical views of network performance by taking periodic samples of the counters supplied by the Statistics group. The group features user-defined sample intervals and bucket counters for complete customization of trend analysis. AlarmsThe Alarms group provides a versatile, general mechanism for setting threshold and sampling intervals to generate events on any RMON variable. Both rising and falling thresholds are supported, and thresholds can be on the absolute value of a variable or its delta value. In addition, alarm thresholds may be auto calibrated or set manually. EventsThe Events group creates entries in an event log and/or sends SNMP traps to the management workstation. An event is triggered by an RMON alarm. The action taken can be configured to ignore it, to log the event, to send an SNMP trap to the receivers listed in the trap receiver table, or to both log and send a trap. The RMON traps are defined in RFC 1757 for rising and falling thresholds.

The switch also supports the following parameters for configuring the RMON agent, as defined in RFC 2021:

probeDateTimeIf you configure the probeDateTime object, you can view the current date and time of the probe. probeResetControlIf you configure the probeResetControl object, you can restart a managed device that is not running normally. Depending on your configuration, you can do one of the following:

Warm bootA warm boot restarts the device using the current configuration saved in nonvolatile memory. Cold bootA cold boot causes the device to reset the configuration parameters stored in nonvolatile memory to the factory defaults and then restarts the device using the restored factory default configuration. NOTE

You can only use the RMON features of the system if you have an RMON management application and have enabled RMON on the switch.

RMON requires one probe per LAN segment, and standalone RMON probes have traditionally been expensive. Therefore, the approach taken by Extreme Networks has been to build an inexpensive RMON probe into the agent of each system. This allows RMON to be widely deployed around the network without costing more than traditional network management. The switch accurately maintains RMON statistics at the maximum line rate of all of its ports. For example, statistics can be related to individual ports. Also, because a probe must be able to see all traffic, a stand-alone probe must be attached to a nonsecure port. Implementing RMON in the switch means that all ports can have security features enabled. To view the status of RMON polling on the switch, use the show management command. The show management command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for RMON polling. To view the RMON memory usage statistics for a specific memory type (for example, statistics, events, logs, history, or alarms) or for all memory types, use the following command:
show rmon memory {detail | <memoryType>}

Example
The following command enables the collection of RMON statistics on the switch:
enable rmon

enable sys-health-check
enable sys-health-check slot <slot>

Description
Enables backplane diagnostic packets on the specified slot.

Syntax Description
slot Specifies the slot to participate in sending backplane diagnostic packets.

Default
Polling is enabled, backplane diagnostic packets are disabled. Depending upon your platform, when enabling backplane diagnostic packets, the following defaults apply:

BlackDiamond 10K switchThe system health checker tests the packet path every 6 seconds for the specified slot. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switchesThe system health checker tests the data link every 5 seconds for the specified slot.

Usage Guidelines
Configure the system health checker with guidance from Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. The system health checker tests I/O modules and the backplane by sending diagnostic packets. On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, additional checking for the validity of these packets is completed by performing a checksum. By isolating faults to a specific module or backplane connection, the system health checker notifies you of a possible hardware failure. System health check errors are reported to the syslog. Syslog output includes the slot number where the problem occurred, the loopback packet ID number, and a notification that the MSM did not receive the last packet. If you see an error, please contact Extreme Networks Technical Support.

NOTE
Enabling backplane diagnostic packets increases CPU utilization and competes with network traffic for resources.

The system health checker continues to periodically forward test packets to failed components. To configure the frequency of the backplane diagnostic packets, use the configure sys-health-check interval command. BlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. If you enable backplane diagnostic packets on a slot, the polling timer changes from its current value to the current backplane diagnostic packet interval configured on that

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

show log

Usage Guidelines
Switch configuration and fault information is filtered and saved to target logs, in a memory buffer, and in NVRAM. Each entry in the log contains the following information:

Timestamprecords the month and day of the event, along with the time (hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths). Severity Levelindicates the urgency of a condition reported in the log. Table 15 describes the severity levels assigned to events. Component, Subcomponent, and Condition Namedescribes the subsystem in the software that generates the event. This provides a good indication of where a fault might lie. Messagea description of the event occurrence. If the event was caused by a user, the user name is also provided.

This command displays the messages stored in either the internal memory buffer or in NVRAM. The messages shown can be limited by specifying a severity level, a time range, or a match expression. Messages stored in the target have already been filtered as events occurred, and specifying a severity or match expression on the show log command can only further limit the messages shown. If the messages keyword is not present, the messages stored in the memory-buffer target are displayed. Otherwise, the messages stored in the specified target are displayed. If the only keyword is present following the severity value, then only the events at that exact severity are included. Without the only keyword, events at that severity or more urgent are displayed. For example, severity warning implies critical, error, or warning, whereas severity warning only implies only warning. Messages whose timestamps are equal or later than the starting time and are equal or earlier than the specified ending time will be shown if they also pass the severity requirements and match expression, if specified. If a match phrase is specified, the formatted message must match the simple regular expression specified by match-expression for it to be shown. A simple regular expression is a string of single characters including the dot character (.), which are optionally combined with quantifiers and constraints. A dot matches any single character while other characters match only themselves (case is significant). Quantifiers include the star character (*) that matches zero or more occurrences of the immediately preceding character or dot. Constraints include the caret character (^) that matches at the beginning of a message, and the currency character ($) that matches at the end of a message. Bracket expressions are not supported. There are a number of sources available on the Internet and in various language references describing the operation of regular expressions. If the chronological keyword is specified, messages are shown from oldest to newest; otherwise, messages are displayed newest to oldest. Severity Level. The severity levels are critical, error, warning, notice, and info, plus three severity levels for extended debugging, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data. In log messages, the severity levels are shown by four letter abbreviations. The abbreviated forms are:

Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics

InfoInfo Debug-SummarySumm Debug-VerboseVerb Debug-DataData

The three severity levels for extended debugging, debug-summary, debug-verbose, and debug-data, require that debug mode be enabled (which may cause a performance degradation). See the command enable log debug-mode on page 518. Table 15 describes the security levels.

Table 15: Severity levels assigned by the switch

Level Critical Description A serious problem has been detected that is compromising the operation of the system and that the system cannot function as expected unless the situation is remedied. The switch may need to be reset. A problem has been detected that is interfering with the normal operation of the system and that the system is not functioning as expected. An abnormal condition, not interfering with the normal operation of the system, has been detected that may indicate that the system or the network in general may not be functioning as expected. A normal but significant condition has been detected, which signals that the system is functioning as expected. A normal but potentially interesting condition has been detected, which signals that the system is functioning as expected and simply provides information or confirmation about the condition. A condition has been detected that may interest a developer determining the reason underlying some system behavior. A condition has been detected that may interest a developer analyzing some system behavior at a more verbose level than provided by the debug summary information. A condition has been detected that may interest a developer inspecting the data underlying some system behavior.

If severity is not specified, then events of all severity are displayed.

Usage Guidelines
This command displays the incident counters for each event specified. Two incident counters are displayed. One counter displays the number of times an event has occurred, and the other displays the number of times that notification for the event was made to the system (an incident record was injected into the system for further processing). Both incident counters reflect totals accumulated since reboot or since the counters were cleared using the clear log counters or clear counters command, regardless of whether it was filtered or not. The keywords include, notified, and occurred only display events with non-zero counter values for the corresponding counter. This command also displays a reference count (the column titled Rf in the output). The reference count is the number of enabled targets receiving notifications of this event. See the command show log on page 532 for more information about severity levels. To get a listing of the event conditions in the system, use the following command:

VLAN Commands

This chapter describes commands for:

Creating and deleting VLANs and performing basic VLAN configuration Defining protocol filters for use with VLANs Creating and deleting VMANs and performing basic VMAN configuration

VLANs can be created according to the following criteria:

Physical portA port-based VLAN consists of a group of one or more ports on the switch. A port can be a member of only one port-based VLAN, and is by default a member of the VLAN named Default. 802.1Q tagTagging is most commonly used to create VLANs that span switches. Ethernet, LLC SAP, or LLC/SNAP Ethernet protocol typeProtocol-based VLANs are most often used in situations where network segments contain hosts running multiple protocols. A combination of these criteria.

Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, the software supports using IPv6 addresses, in addition to IPv4 addresses.

configure vlan add ports

configure vlan <vlan_name> add [ports <port_list> | all] {tagged | untagged} {stpd <stpd_name> {dot1d | emistp | pvst-plus}} {nobroadcast}

Description
Adds one or more ports in a VLAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name port_list all tagged untagged stpd_name dot1d | emistp | pvst-plus nobroadcast Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies a list of ports or slots and ports. Specifies all ports. Specifies the ports should be configured as tagged. Specifies the ports should be configured as untagged. Specifies an STP domain name. Specifies the BPDU encapsulation mode for these STP ports. Prevents broadcasts, multicasts, and unknown unicast packets from being transmitted on these ports. NOTE: This option is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

Default
Untagged.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
You cannot have both VLANs and VMANs on the same module on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen); each module can have only VLANs or VMANs (although these can span modules).

The VLAN must already exist before you can add (or delete) ports: use the create vlan command to create the VLAN. NOTE
The nobroadcast option is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

If the VLAN uses 802.1Q tagging, you can specify tagged or untagged port(s). If the VLAN is untagged, the ports cannot be tagged. Untagged ports can only be a member of a single VLAN. By default, they are members of the default VLAN (named Default). In order to add untagged ports to a different VLAN, you must first remove them from the default VLAN. You do not need to do this to add them to another VLAN as tagged

VLAN Commands ports. if you attempt to add an untagged port to a VLAN prior to removing it from the default VLAN, you see the following error message:
Error: Protocol conflict when adding untagged port 1:2. Either add this port as tagged or assign another protocol to this VLAN.

As each port can belong to only one virtual router, ports within one VLAN must all be in the same virtual router. NOTE
All ports and VLANs are in VR-Default in the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and Summit X450 switch and cannot be moved.

Refer to Chapter 19 for more information on configuring Spanning Tree Domains.

NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may return an error message.

Example
The following command assigns tagged ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:6 to a VLAN named accounting:
configure vlan accounting add ports 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:6 tagged

VLAN Commands

configure vlan ipaddress

configure vlan <vlan_name> ipaddress [<ipaddress> {<ipNetmask>} | ipv6-link-local | {eui64} <ipv6_address_mask>]

Description
Assigns an IPv4 address and an optional subnet mask or an IPv6 address to the VLAN. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.2, you can specify IPv6 addresses. You can assign either an IPv4 address, and IPv6 address, or both to the VLAN. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS software version 11.3, you can use this command to assign an IP address to a specified VMAN and enable multicasting on that VMAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name ipaddress ipNetmask ipv6-link-local Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies an IPv4 address. Specifies an IPv4 subnet mask in dotted-quad notation (for example, 255.255.255.0). Specifies IPv6 and configures a link-local address generated by combining the standard link-local prefix with the automatically generated interface in the EUI64 format. Using this option automatically generates an entire IPv6 address; this address is only a link-local, or VLAN-based, IPv6 address, that is, ports on the same segment can communicate using this IP address and do not have to pass through a gateway. Specifies IPv6 and automatically generates the interface ID in the EUI-64 format using the interfaces MAC address. Once you enter this parameter, you must add the following variables: <ipv6_address_mask>. Use this option when you want to enter the 64-bit prefix and use a EUI-64 address for the rest of the IPv6 address. Specify the IPv6 address in the following format: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x/prefix length, where each x is the hexadecimal value of one of the 8 16-bit pieces of the 128-bit wide address.

eui64

ipv6_address_mask

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The VLAN must already exist before you can assign an IP address: use the create vlan command to create the VLAN. NOTE
If you plan to use the VLAN as a control VLAN for an EAPS domain, do NOT configure the VLAN with an IP address.

Description
Assigns a unique 802.1Q tag to the VLAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name tag Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies a value to use as an 802.1Q tag. The valid range is from 2 to 4095.

Default
The default VLAN uses an 802.1Q tag (and an internal VLANid) of 1.

Usage Guidelines
If any of the ports in the VLAN will use an 802.1Q tag, a tag must be assigned to the VLAN. The valid range is from 2 to 4094 (tag 1 is assigned to the default VLAN, and tag 4095 is assigned to the management VLAN). The 802.1Q tag will also be used as the internal VLANid by the switch. You can specify a value that is currently used as an internal VLANid on another VLAN; it will become the VLANid for the VLAN you specify, and a new VLANid will be automatically assigned to the other untagged VLAN.

Example

Description
Adds one or more ports in a VMAN.

Syntax Description
vman-ame all port_list Specifies a VMAN name. Specifies all ports. Specifies a list of ports or slots and ports. NOTE: On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen), ports on a given slot can be either VLAN members or VMAN members, but not both. untagged tagged nobroadcast Specifies that the ports are untagged. Specifies that the ports are tagged. Specifies that the ports do not forward broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packets. NOTE: This option is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you do not specify a parameter, the default value is untagged. If you specify the parameter nobroadcast, the system used the default value of untagged; you cannot add nobroadcast once you have specified tagged packets. NOTE
The nobroadcast option is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

The VMAN tunnel begins at the ingress, or customer access, port and terminates at the egress, or trunk, port. Traffic flows from the egress trunk port onto the network thereafter without the VMAN tag. Ensure that all the switch-to-switch ports in the VMAN tunnel are configured as tagged ports. Configure the VMAN ingress, or customer access, port as an untagged port (although this port does accept tagged packets). You must configure the VMAN tunnel egress, or trunk, port as an untagged port so that the VMAN header is stripped from the frame.

598

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure vman add ports

NOTE
You must configure the VMAN tunnel egress, or trunk, port as untagged so that the VMAN header is stripped from the frame.

The VMAN must already exists before you can add (or delete) ports: use the create vman command to create the VLAN. VMAN ports can belong to load-sharing groups. If any port in the load-sharing group is enabled for VMAN, all ports in the group are automatically enabled to handle jumbo size frames. Also, VMAN is automatically enabled on all ports of the untagged load-sharing group. The Extreme Networks default Ethernet type for VMAN is 088a8.

NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may return an error message.

VLAN Commands

create vlan
create vlan <vlan_name> {vr <vr-name>}

Description
Creates a named VLAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name vr vr-name Specifies a VLAN name (up to 32 characters). Specifies a virtual router. Specifies in which virtual router to create the VLAN. NOTE: On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch, all VLANs are created in VR-Default and cannot be moved.

Default
A VLAN named Default exists on all new or initialized Extreme switches:

It initially contains all ports on a new or initialized switch, except for the management port(s), if there are any. It has an 802.1Q tag of 1. The default VLAN is untagged on all ports. It uses protocol filter any.

A VLAN named Mgmt exists on switches that have management modules or management ports.

It initially contains the management port(s) the switch. It is assigned the next available internal VLANid as an 802.1Q tag.

If you do not specify the virtual router, the VLAN is created in the current virtual router.

Usage Guidelines
A newly-created VLAN has no member ports, is untagged, and uses protocol filter any until you configure it otherwise. Use the various configure vlan commands to configure the VLAN to your needs. Internal VLANids are assigned automatically using the next available VLANid starting from the high end (4094) of the range. Each VLAN name can be up to 32 standard alphanumeric characters, but must begin with an alphabetical letter. Quotation marks can be used to enclose a VLAN name that does not begin with an alphabetical character, or that contains a space, comma, or other special character.

create vlan

NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may return an error message.

VLAN names are locally significant. That is, VLAN names used on one switch are only meaningful to that switch. If another switch is connected to it, the VLAN names have no significance to the other switch. You must use mutually exclusive names for:

VLANs VMANs Ipv6 tunnels

If you do not specify a virtual router when you create a VLAN, the system creates that VLAN in the default virtual router (VR-Default). The management VLAN is always in the management virtual router (VR-Mgmt). Once you create virtual routers, ExtremeWare XOS software allows you to designate one of these as the domain in which all your subsequent configuration commands, including VLAN commands, are applied. If you create virtual routers, ensure that you are creating the VLANs in the desired virtualrouter domain.

NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created virtual routers; all user-created VLANs are in VR-Default.

For information on configuring virtual routers, see Chapter 10.

Example
The following command creates a VLAN named accounting on the current virtual router:

10 Commands for Virtual Routers

This chapter describes commands for:

Creating and deleting virtual routers Configuring and managing virtual routers Displaying information about virtual routers

Virtual Routers
ExtremeWare XOS supports virtual routers. This capability allows a single physical switch to be split into multiple virtual routers. This feature separates the traffic forwarded by a virtual router from the traffic on a different virtual router. There are two types of virtual routers in an ExtremeWare XOS system:

System virtual routers These are the special virtual routers created by ExtremeWare XOS during system boot up, and they cannot be deleted or renamed. There are a total of three of these special virtual routers in the ExtremeWare XOS system.

User virtual routers These are the virtual routers created and named by users. NOTE

User virtual routers are supported only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

Each virtual router maintains a separate logical forwarding table, which allows the virtual routers to have overlapping address spaces. Because each virtual router maintains its own separate routing information, packets arriving on one virtual router will never be switched to another. With multiple virtual routers contained on a single physical switch, some commands in ExtremeWare XOS now require you to specify to which virtual router the command applies. For example, when you use the ping command, you must specify from which virtual router the ping packets are generated. Many commands that deal with switch management use the management virtual router by default.

NOTE
The term virtual router is also used with the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). VRRP uses the term to refer to a single virtual router that spans more than one physical router, which allows multiple switches to provide redundant routing services to users.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

625

Commands for Virtual Routers

create virtual-router
create virtual-router <vr-name>

Description
Creates a user virtual router.

Syntax Description
vr-name Specifies the name of the user virtual router.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command creates a new user virtual router. The three default system virtual routers, VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default always exist and cannot be deleted or renamed. A virtual router is identified by a name (up to 32 characters long). The name must be unique among the VLAN and virtual router names on the switch. For backward compatibility, you cannot name a virtual router VR-0, VR-1, or VR-2, as they were the original names of the system virtual routers. Virtual router names are case insensitive. When a new virtual router is created, by default, no ports are assigned, no VLAN interface is created, and no support for any routing protocols is added.-

Example
The following command creates the virtual router vr-acme:
create virtual-router vr-acme

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

Platform Availability
This command is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K switch.

626

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure vr add protocol

configure vr add protocol

configure vr <vr-name> add protocol <protocol-name>

Description
Starts the Layer 3 protocol on a virtual router.

Syntax Description
vr-name protocol-name Specifies the name of the virtual router. Specifies the layer 3 protocol.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
When a new virtual router is created, by default, no ports are assigned, no VLAN interface is created, and no support for any routing protocols is added. Use this command to start the layer 3 protocol specified on the virtual router. The choices for protocol-name are:

RIP OSPF BGP PIM

You cannot add or delete protocols from the system virtual routers, VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, VR-Default.

Example
The following command starts RIP on the virtual router vr-acme:
configure vr vr-acme add protocol rip

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

627

Commands for Virtual Routers

configure vr add ports

configure vr <vr-name> add ports <portlist>

Description
Assigns a list of ports to the virtual router specified.

Syntax Description
vr-name portlist Specifies the name of the virtual router. Specifies the ports to add to the virtual router.

Default
By default, all ports are assigned to the virtual router, VR-Default.

Usage Guidelines
When a new virtual router is created, by default, no ports are assigned, no VLAN interface is created, and no support for any routing protocols is added. Use this command to assign ports to a virtual router. Since all ports are initially assigned to VR-Default, you may need to delete the desired ports first from the virtual router where they reside, before you add them to the desired virtual router.

Example
The following command adds all the ports on slot 2 to the virtual router vr-acme:
configure vr vr-acme add ports 2:*

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

Commands for Virtual Routers

show virtual-router
show virtual-router {<vr-name>}

Description
Displays information about the virtual routers.

Syntax Description
vr-name Specifies the name of the virtual router.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
During system boot up, ExtremeWare XOS creates three system virtual routers: VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default (previous to release 11.0 these virtual routers were named VR-0, VR-1, and VR-2, respectively). The following defines each system virtual router:

The management port on both the primary and backup MSMs and the VLAN mgmt belong to VRMgmt. Internal system operations use VR-Control. The default VLAN belongs to VR-Default.

Beginning with release 11.0, you can create additional virtual routers, called user virtual routers. User virtual routers are created without any routing protocols, so the protocols must be added. The protocols on the system virtual routers are predefined and cannot be changed. The output displays, in tabular format, the:

Name of the virtual router Number of VLANs that belong to that virtual router Number of ports that belong to that virtual router Which routing protocols have been added to that virtual router

When you specify a particular virtual router, the output displays:

The number of ports A list of ports The protocols configured The name of the process supporting the protocol on that virtual router

632

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

show virtual-router

Example
The following command displays the virtual router configurations on the switch:

Commands for Virtual Routers

virtual-router
virtual-router {<vr-name>}

Description
Changes the virtual router domain context.

Syntax Description
vr-name Specifies the name of the virtual router.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to change the virtual router context for subsequent commands. When you issue the command, the prompt changes to reflect the virtual router domain. Configuration commands for layer 3 routing protocols, creating VLANs, and deleting VLANs apply only to the current virtual router domain. Under a virtual router configuration domain, any virtual router commands are applied only to that virtual router. The virtual router commands consist of all the BGP, OSPF, PIM and RIP commands, and the commands listed in Table 18.

Table 18: Virtual router commands

[enable | disable] ipforwarding clear iparp * clear counters iparp * configure iparp * configure iparp [add | delete] * [enable | disable] iparp * show iparp * configure iproute [add | delete] * show iproute * show ipstats * rtlookup create [vlan | vman] <vlan-name> [enable | disable] igmp [enable | disable] igmp snooping [enable | disable] ipmcforwarding show igmp

634

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

virtual-router

show igmp snooping show igmp group show igmp snooping cache

* means that other commands are available with these listed. The virtual router configuration domain simplifies configuration because you do not have to specify the virtual router for each individual protocol configuration command. The current configuration domain is indicated in the command line interface (CLI) prompt. For example, if you wish to configure OSPF for the user virtual router vr-manufacturing, you would change the virtual router context to that of vr-manufacturing. All the subsequent OSPF commands would apply to that virtual router, unless the context is changed again. A virtual router is identified by a name (up to 32 characters long). The name must be unique among the VLAN and virtual router names on the switch. For backward compatibility, you cannot name a virtual router VR-0, VR-1, or VR-2. Virtual router names are case insensitive. When a new virtual router is created, by default, no ports are assigned, no VLAN interface is created, and no support for any routing protocols is added.

Example
The following command changes the virtual router context to vr-acme:
virtual-router vr-acme

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

11 FDB Commands
This chapter describes commands for:

Configuring FDB entries Displaying FDB entries

The switch maintains a database of all media access control (MAC) addresses received on all of its ports. It uses the information in this database to decide whether a frame should be forwarded or filtered. Each FDB entry consists of the MAC address of the device, an identifier for the port on which it was received, and an identifier for the VLAN to which the device belongs. Frames destined for devices that are not in the FDB are flooded to all members of the VLAN. The FDB has three types of entries:

Dynamic entriesInitially, all entries in the database are dynamic. Entries in the database are removed (aged-out) if, after a period of time (aging time), the device has not transmitted. This prevents the database from becoming full of obsolete entries by ensuring that when a device is removed from the network, its entry is deleted from the database. Dynamic entries are deleted from the database if the switch is reset or a power off/on cycle occurs. Static entriesIf the aging time is set to zero, all aging entries in the database are defined as static, nonaging entries. This means that they do not age, but they are still deleted if the switch is reset. Permanent entriesPermanent entries are retained in the database if the switch is reset or a power off/on cycle occurs. The system administrator must create permanent entries. A permanent entry can either be a unicast or multicast MAC address. All entries entered through the command line interface (CLI) are stored as permanent.

Entries are added into the FDB in the following two ways:

The switch can learn entries. The system updates its FDB with the source MAC address from a packet, the VLAN, and the port identifier on which the source packet is received. You can enter and update entries using the CLI.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

637

FDB Commands

clear fdb
clear fdb {<mac_addr> | ports <port_list> | <vlan_name> | blackhole}

Description
Clears dynamic FDB entries that match the filter.

Syntax Description
mac_addr port_list vlan_name blackhole Specifies a MAC address, using colon-separated bytes. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies the blackhole entries.

Default
Clears all dynamic FDB entries.

Usage Guidelines
This command clears FDB entries based on the specified criteria. When no options are specified, the command clears all dynamic FDB entries.

Example
The following command clears any FDB entries associated with ports 4:3-4:5 on a modular switch:
clear fdb ports 4:3-4:5

The following command clears any FDB entries associated with VLAN corporate:
clear fdb vlan corporate

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1.

Platform Availability
This command is available on all platforms.

638

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure fdb agingtime

configure fdb agingtime

configure fdb agingtime <seconds>

Description
Configures the FDB aging time for dynamic entries.

Syntax Description
seconds Specifies the aging time in seconds. Range is 15 through 1,000,000. A value of 0 indicates that the entry should never be aged out.

Default
300 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
The range is 15 through 1,000,000 seconds. If the aging time is set to zero, all aging entries in the database are defined as static, nonaging entries. This means that they do not age out, but non-permanent static entries can be deleted if the switch is reset. The software flushes the FDB table once the aging timeout parameter is reached, even if the switch is running traffic and populating addresses in the FDB table.

Example
The following command sets the FDB aging time to 3,000 seconds:
configure fdb agingtime 3000

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1.

FDB Commands

create fdbentry vlan ports

create fdbentry <mac_addr> vlan <vlan_name> ports <port_list>

Description
Creates a permanent static FDB entry, and optionally associates it with an ingress and/or egress QoS profile.

Syntax Description
mac_addr vlan_name port_list Specifies a device MAC address, using colon-separated bytes. Specifies a VLAN name associated with a MAC address. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports associated with the MAC address.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Permanent entries are retained in the database if the switch is reset or a power off/on cycle occurs. A permanent static entry can either be a unicast or multicast MAC address. After they have been created, permanent static entries stay the same as when they were created. If the same MAC address is encountered on another virtual port that is not included in the permanent MAC entry, it is handled as a blackhole entry. The static entry is not updated when any of the following take place:

A VLAN identifier (VLANid) is changed. A port is disabled. A port enters blocking state. A port goes down (link down).

A permanent static FDB entry is deleted when any of the following take place:

A VLAN is deleted. A port mode is changed (tagged/untagged). A port is deleted from a VLAN.

Permanent static entries are designated by spm in the flags field of the show fdb output. You can use the show fdb command to display permanent FDB entries. BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and Summit X450 switch only. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3, you can create FDB entries to multicast MAC addresses and list one or more ports. If more than one port number is associated with a permanent MAC entry, packets are multicast to the multiple destinations. The following restrictions apply:

Not available for unicast MAC addresses.

640

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

create fdbentry vlan ports

IGMP snooping rules take precedence over static multicast MAC addresses in the IP multicast range (01:00:5e:xx:xx:xx) unless IGMP snooping is disabled.

Example
The following command adds a permanent, static entry to the FDB for MAC address is 00 E0 2B 12 34 56, in VLAN marketing on slot 2, port 4 on a modular switch:
create fdbentry 00:E0:2B:12:34:56 vlan marketing port 2:4

The following example creates a multicast FDB entry, in VLAN black, on slot 1, ports 1, 2, and 4, on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches:

disable flooding port

disable flooding port

disable flooding [all_cast | broadcast | multicast | unicast] port [<port_list> | all]

Description
Disables egress flooding on one or more ports. With the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch, you can further identify the type of packets to block flooding on the specified ports. With the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can only block flooding all packets or no packets.

Syntax Description
all_cast broadcast Specifies disabling egress flooding for all packets on specified ports. Specifies disabling egress flooding only for broadcast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. multicast Specifies disabling egress flooding only for multicast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. unicast Specifies disabling egress flooding only for unicast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. port_list all Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies all ports on the switch.

Default
Enabled for all packets.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
If an application requests specific packets on a specific port, those packets are not affected by the disable flooding port command.

Use this command to enhance security and privacy and to improve network performance by disabling Layer 2, or egress, flooding on some packets. This is particularly useful when you are working on an edge device in the network. Limiting flooded egress packets to selected interfaces is also known as upstream forwarding

NOTE
Disabling egress flooding with static MAC addresses can affect many protocols, such as IP and ARP among others.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

643

FDB Commands The following guidelines apply to enabling and disabling egress flooding:

Disabling multicasting egress flooding does not affect those packets within an IGMP membership group at all; those packets are still forwarded out. If IGMP snooping is disabled, multicast packets are not flooded. Egress flooding can be disabled on ports that are in a load-sharing group. If that is the situation, the ports in the group take on the egress flooding state of the master port; each member port of the loadsharing group has the same state as the master port. FDB learning is independent of egress flooding; either can be enabled or disabled independently. Disabling unicast (or all) egress flooding to a port also stops packets with unknown MAC addresses to be flooded to that port. Disabling broadcast (or all) egress flooding to a port also stops broadcast packets to be flooded to that port.

BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and Summit X450 switch only. You can disable egress flooding for unicast, multicast, or broadcast MAC addresses, as well as for all packets on the ports of the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches or the Summit X450 switch. BlackDiamond 10K switch only. You must disable egress flooding on all packets on the specified port or ports. You cannot specify broadcast, unicast, or multicast packets; the egress flooding command applies to all packets. NOTE
When you disable egress flooding on the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you also turn off broadcasting.

Example
The following command disables egress flooding on slot 4, ports 5 and 6 on a BlackDiamond 10K switch:
disable flooding all_cast port 4:5-4:6

The following command disables unicast flooding on ports 10-12 on a Summit X450 switch:

enable flooding port

enable flooding port

enable flooding [all_cast | broadcast | multicast | unicast] port [<port_list> | all]

Description
Enables egress flooding on one or more ports. With the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch, you can further identify the type of packets to flood on the specified ports. With the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can only flood all packets or no packets.

Syntax Description
all_cast broadcast Specifies enabling egress flooding for all packets on specified ports. Specifies enabling egress flooding only for broadcast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. multicast Specifies enabling egress flooding only for multicast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. unicast Specifies enabling egress flooding only for unicast packets. NOTE: This parameter is available only on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch. port_list all Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies all ports on the switch.

Default
Enabled for all packets.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enhance security and privacy and to improve network performance by disabling Layer 2, or egress, flooding on some packets. This is particularly useful when you are working on an edge device in the network. Limiting flooded egress packets to selected interfaces is also known as upstream forwarding NOTE
Disabling egress flooding with static MAC addresses can affect many protocols, such as IP and ARP among others.

The following guidelines apply to enabling and disabling egress flooding:

Disabling multicasting egress flooding does not affect those packets within an IGMP membership group at all; those packets are still forwarded out. If IGMP snooping is disabled, multicast packets are not flooded.

12 Policy Manager Commands

This chapter describes commands for:

Creating and configuring policy files for IP access lists (ACLs) Creating and configuring policy files for routing policies

Policies are a generalized category of features that impact forwarding and route forwarding decisions. Access policies are used primarily for security and quality of service (QoS) purposes. IP access lists (also referred to as Access Lists or ACLs) consist of IP access rules and are used to perform packet filtering and forwarding decisions on traffic traversing the switch. Each packet on an interface is compared to the access list in sequential order and is either forwarded to a specified QoS profile or dropped. Additionally, for the BlackDiamond 8800 family and Summit X450 switches only, packets can be metered using ACLs. Using access lists has no impact on switch performance. Access lists are typically applied to traffic that crosses layer 3 router boundaries, but it is possible to use access lists within a layer 2 VLAN. Extreme products are capable of performing this function with no additional configuration. Routing policies are used to control the advertisement or recognition of routes from routing protocols, such as RIP, OSPF, or BGP. Routing policies can be used to hide entire networks or to trust only specific sources for routes or ranges of routes. The capabilities of routing policies are specific to the type of routing protocol involved, but are sometimes more efficient and easier to implement than access lists.

NOTE
Although ExtremeWare XOS does not prohibit mixing ACL and routing type entries in a policy file, it is strongly recommended that you do not mix the entries, and you use separate policy files for ACL and routing policies.

Policy Manager Commands

check policy
check policy <policy-name>

Description
Checks the syntax of the specified policy.

Syntax Description
policy-name Specifies the policy to check.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to check the policy syntax before applying it. If any errors are found, the line number and a description of the syntax error are displayed. A policy that contains syntax errors will not be applied. This command can only determine if the syntax of the policy file is correct and can be loaded into the policy manager database. Since a policy can be used by multiple applications, a particular application may have additional constraints on allowable policies.

Example
The following example checks the syntax of the policy zone5:
check policy zone5

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

check policy attribute

check policy attribute

check policy attribute {<attr>}

Description
Displays the syntax of the specified policy attribute.

Syntax Description
attr Specifies the attribute check.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to display the syntax of policy attributes. The command displays any additional keywords to use with this attribute, and the types of values expected. Policy attributes are used in the rule entries that make up a policy file. For each attribute, this command displays which applications use the attribute, and whether the attribute is a match condition or a set (action, action modifier) condition. The current applications are:

ACLaccess-lists RTrouting profiles, route maps CLFCLEAR-Flow

The syntax display does not show the text synonyms for numeric entries. For example, the icmp-type match condition allows you to specify either an integer or a text synonym for the condition. Specifying icmp-type 8 or icmp-type echo-request are equivalent, but the syntax display shows only the numberic option.

NOTE
The syntax displayed is used by the policy manager to verify the syntax of policy files. The individual applications are responsible for implementing the individual attributes. Inclusion of a particular policy attribute in this command output does not imply that the attribute has been implemented by the application. See the documentation of the particular application for detailed lists of supported attributes.

Example
The following example displays the syntax of the policy attribute icmp-type:
check policy attribute icmp-type

edit policy

edit policy
edit policy <filename>

Description
Edits a policy text file.

Syntax Description
filename Specifies the filename of the policy text file.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command edits policy text files that are on the switch. All policy files use .pol as the filename extension, so to edit the text file for the policy boundary use boundary.pol as the filename. If you specify the name of a file that does not exist, you will be informed and the file will be created. This command spawns a VI-like editor to edit the named file. For information on using VI, if you are not familiar with it, do a web search for VI editor basic information, and you should find many resources. The following is only a short introduction to the editor. Edit operates in one of two modes; command and input. When a file first opens, you are in the command mode. To write in the file, use the keyboard arrow keys to position your cursor within the file, then press one of the following keys to enter input mode:

i - To insert text ahead of the initial cursor position a- To append text after the initial cursor position

To escape the input mode and return to the command mode, press the Escape key. There are several commands that can be used from the command mode. The following are the most commonly used:

dd - To delete the current line yy - To copy the current line p - To paste the line copied :w - To write (save) the file :q - To quit the file if no changes were made :q! - To forcefully quit the file without saving changes :wq - To write and quit the file

Refresh Policy. After you have edited the text file for a policy that is currently active, you will need to refresh the policy if you want the changes to be reflected in the policy database. When you refresh the

ACL Commands

clear access-list counter

clear access-list {dynamic} counter {<countername>} {any | ports <portlist> | vlan <vlanname>} {ingress | egress}

Description
Clears the specified access list counters.

Syntax Description
dynamic countername any portlist vlanname ingress egress Specifies that the counter is from a dynamic ACL. Specifies the ACL counter to clear. Specifies the wildcard ACL. Specifies to clear the counters on these ports. Specifies to clear the counters on the VLAN. Clear the ACL counter for packets entering the switch on this interface. Clear the ACL counter for packets leaving the switch from this interface (BlackDiamond 10K only).

Default
The default direction is ingress; the default ACL type is non-dynamic.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to clear the ACL counters. If you do not specify an interface, or the any option, you will clear all the counters.

Example
The following example clears all the counters of the ACL on port 2:1:
clear access-list counter port 2:1

The following example clears the counter counter2 of the ACL on port 2:1

configure access-list

configure access-list
configure access-list <aclname> [any | ports <portlist> | vlan <vlanname>] {ingress | egress}

Description
Configures an access list to the specified interface.

Syntax Description
aclname any portlist vlanname ingress egress Specifies the ACL name. The name can be from 1-32 characters long. Specifies that this ACL is applied to all interfaces as the lowest precedence ACL. Specifies the ports on which this ACL is applied. Specifies the VLAN on which this ACL is applied. Apply the ACL to packets entering the switch on this interface. Apply the ACL to packets leaving the switch from this interface (BlackDiamond 10K only).

Default
The default direction is ingress.

Usage Guidelines
The access list applied in this command is contained in a text file created either externally to the switch or using the edit policy command. The file is transferred to the switch using TFTP before it is applied to the ports. The ACL name is the file name without its .pol extension. For example, the ACL blocknetfour would be in the file blocknetfour.pol. For more information on policy files, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. Specifying the keyword any applies the ACL to all the ports, and is referred to as the wildcard ACL. This ACL is evaluated for ports without a specific ACL applied to it, and is also applied to packets that do not match the ACL applied to the interface.

Example
The following command configures the ACL test to port 1:2 at ingress:
configure access-list test ports 1:2

The following command configures the ACL mydefault as the wildcard ACL:

configure access-list add <dynamic_rule> [after <rule> | before <rule> | first | last][any | ports <portlist> | vlan <vlanname>] {ingress | egress}

Description
Configures a dynamic ACL rule to the specified interface.

Syntax Description
dynamic_rule after <rule> before <rule> first last any portlist vlanname ingress egress Specifies a dynamic ACL rule. Add the new dynamic rule after an existing dynamic rule. Add the new dynamic rule before an existing dynamic rule. Add the new dynamic rule before all existing dynamic rules. Add the new dynamic rule after all existing dynamic rules. Specifies that this ACL is applied to all interfaces as the lowest precedence dynamic ACL. Specifies the ports on which this ACL is applied. Specifies the VLAN on which this ACL is applied. Apply the ACL to packets entering the switch on this interface. Apply the ACL to packets leaving the switch from this interface (BlackDiamond 10K only).

Default
The default direction is ingress.

Usage Guidelines
The dynamic rule must first be created before it can be applied to an interface. Use the following command to create a dynamic rule:
create access-list <dynamic-rule> <conditions> <actions>

When a dynamic ACL rule is applied to an interface, you will specify its precedence among any previously applied dynamic ACLs. All dynamic ACLs have a higher precedence than any ACLs applied through ACL policy files. Specifying the keyword any applies the ACL to all the ports, and is referred to as the wildcard ACL. This ACL is evaluated for ports without a specific ACL applied to it, and is also applied to packets that do not match the ACL applied to the interface.

Example
The following command applies the dynamic ACL icmp-echo as the first (highest precedence) dynamic ACL to port 1:2 at ingress:

configure ipv6acl address-mask

configure ipv6acl address-mask [destination <ipv6_address> | source <ipv6_address>]

Description
Configures an address mask for IPv6 ACL matching.

Syntax Description
destination <ipv6_address> source <ipv6_address> Specifies the destination address mask. Mask must ignore 32 bits of the address. Specifies the source address mask.Mask must ignore 32 bits of the address.

Default
The default address mask for both destination and source is 0:ffff:ffff:ffff:0:ffff:ffff:ffff.

Usage Guidelines
The BlackDiamond 10K uses address masks for matching the 128-bit IPv6 addresses in ACLs. The default mask is 0:ffff:ffff:ffff:0:ffff:ffff:ffff, so for purposes of ACL matching the BlackDiamond 10K ignores the bits 1 through 16 and 65 through 80 (counting the highest-order bit as bit 1). There is a separate mask for the IPv6 source and IPv6 destination address. You can change the masks used for ACL matching, but the change will not take effect until you reboot the switch.

Example
The following command configures the source IPv6 mask:
configure ipv6acl address-mask source ff00:ffff:ffff:00ff:0:ffff:ffff:ffff

Description
Configures an ACL meter.

Syntax Description
metername max-burst-size committed-rate out-actions drop set-drop-precedence dscp none Specifies the ACL meter name. Specifies the maximum burst size. Specifies the committed rate. Specifies actions to take if traffic exceeds the profile. Specifies to drop out of profile traffic. Specifies to mark packet for high drop precedence. Specifies to set DSCP. Specifies to leave the DSCP value unchanged.

Default
By default, a newly committed meter has no maximum burst size, no committed rate, and a default action of drop.

Usage Guidelines
The ACL meter configured with this command will be associated with an ACL by specifying the meter name in the action modifier field of the ACL entry. The deny keyword should not be an action for the ACL, or the packet will be dropped regardless of the metering state. The committed-rate keyword specifies the traffic rate allowed for this meter. The committed traffic rate may be specified in Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps. The committed-rate parameter range is 64Kbps to 1 Gbps for GE ports and 1 Mbps to 10 Gbps for 10GE ports. The max-burst-size keyword specifies the maximum number of consecutive bits that are allowed to be in-profile at wire-speed. The burst-size parameter may be specified in Kb, Mb, or Gb. The specified burst-size will be rounded down to the nearest supported size. For GE ports, the burst sizes are rounded down to the nearest 32Kb, 64Kb, 128Kb, 256Kb, 512Kb, 1Mb, 2Mb, 4Mb, and additionally 8Mb, 16Mb, 32Mb, 64Mb, 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb, or 1Gb for 10 GE ports. The keyword out-actions specifies the action that is taken when a packet is out-of-profile. The supported actions include dropping the packet, marking the drop precedence for the packet, or setting the DSCP value in the packet. The keyword drop indicates that any out-of-profile packet is immediately dropped. The keyword set-drop-precedence marks out-of-profile packets with high drop precedence. If the optional keyword set-dscp is specified, the DSCP value, as specified by the parameter dscpvalue, is written into the out-of-profile packet. Setting the DSCP value to none leaves the DSCP value in the packet unchanged.

create access-list

create access-list
create access-list <dynamic-rule> <conditions> <actions>

Description
Creates a dynamic ACL

Syntax Description
dynamic-rule conditions actions Specifies the dynamic ACL name. The name can be from 1-32 characters long. Specifies the match conditions for the dynamic ACL. Specifies the actions for the dynamic ACLs.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command creates a dynamic ACL rule. Use the configure access-list add command to apply the ACL to an interface. The conditions parameter is a quoted string of match conditions, and the actions parameter is a quoted string of actions. Multiple match conditions or actions are separated by semi-colons. A complete listing of the match conditions and actions is in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide, in Chapter 13, Access Lists (ACLs). Dynamic ACL rule names must be unique, but can be the same as used in a policy-file based ACL. Any dynamic rule counter names must be unique.

Example
The following command creates a dynamic ACL that drops all ICMP echo-request packets on the interface:
create access-list icmp-echo protocol icmp;icmp-type echo-request deny

The created dynamic ACL will take effect after it has been configured on the interface. The previous example creates a dynamic ACL named icmp-echo that is equivalent to the following ACL policy file entry:
entry icmp-echo { if { protocol icmp; icmp-type echo-request; } then { deny; } }

14 QoS Commands
This chapter describes commands for:

Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) profiles Configuring and displaying bidirectional rate-shaping Creating traffic groupings and assigning the groups to QoS profiles Configuring, enabling and disabling explicit class-of-service traffic groupings (802.1p and DiffServ) Configuring traffic grouping priorities Verifying configuration and performance Configuring and displaying bidirectional rate-shaping Egress traffic rate limiting

Qualify of Service (QoS) is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows you to specify different service levels for outbound and inbound traffic. QoS is an effective control mechanism for networks that have heterogeneous traffic patterns. Using QoS, you can specify the service that a traffic type receives. Policy-based QoS allows you to protect bandwidth for important categories of applications or specifically limit the bandwidth associated with less critical traffic. The switch contains separate hardware queues on every physical port. Each hardware queue is programmed by ExtremeWare XOS with bandwidth management and prioritization parameters, defined as a QoS profile. The bandwidth management and prioritization parameters that modify the forwarding behavior of the switch affect how the switch transmits traffic for a given hardware queue on a physical port. Up to eight physical queues per port are available. With the 11.0 version of the software, you can also assign parameters to traffic ingressing the switch for minimum and maximum bandwidth and priority queuing to the backplane.

NOTE
You cannot queue ingressing traffic to the backplane on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen).

To configure QoS, you define how your switch responds to different categories of traffic by creating and configuring QoS profiles. The service that a particular type of traffic receives is determined by assigning a QoS profile to a traffic grouping or classification. The building blocks are defined as follows:

QoS profileDefines bandwidth and prioritization parameters. Traffic groupingA method of classifying or grouping traffic that has one or more attributes in common. QoS policyThe combination that results from assigning a QoS profile to a traffic grouping.

QoS profiles are assigned to traffic groupings to modify switch-forwarding behavior. When assigned to a traffic grouping, the combination of the traffic grouping and the QoS profile comprise an example of a single policy that is part of Policy-Based QoS.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

687

QoS Commands Extreme switch products support explicit Class of Service traffic groupings. This category of traffic groupings describes what is sometimes referred to as explicit packet marking, and includes:

IP DiffServ code points, formerly known as IP TOS bits Prioritization bits used in IEEE 802.1p packets

All Extreme switches support the standard 802.1p priority bits that are part of a tagged Ethernet packet. With the 11.0 version of the software on the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can also assign parameters to traffic ingressing the switch for minimum and maximum bandwidth and priority queuing to the backplane.

QoS Commands

PriorityBy default, each qosprofile is assigned a different priority level, which varies by I/O module:

1G I/O module:

IQP1 - 1, Low IQP2 - 2, LowHi IQP1 - 1, Low IQP2 - 2, LowHi IQP3 - 3, Normal IQP4 - 4, NormalHi IQP5 - 5, Medium IQP6 - 6, MediumHi IQP7 - 7, High IQP8 - 8, HighHi (highest priority)

10G I/O module:

Usage Guidelines
The number of ingress queues per port varies between the 1G I/O module and the 10G module. On the 1G module, you have two ingress queues per port. The priority values of 1 to 4 map to the first queue, and the priority values of 5 to 8 map to the second queue. On the 10G module, you have eight ingress queues per port. The priority values of 1 to 8 map one to each of the eight queues.

Example
The following command configures the ingress rate shaping parameters of QoS profile IQP3 for specified ports, using bandwidth percentages:
configure qosprofile ingress iqp3 minbw 27 maxbw 57 priority 4 ports 3:2

The following command configures the ingress rate shaping parameters for QoS profile IQP3 for all ports, using absolute values for committed rate and peak rate:
configure qosprofile ingress iqp3 committed-rate 64 k peak-rate 1000 k priority 4 ports all

configure qosprofile weight

configure qosprofile weight

configure qosprofile <qosprofile> {maxbuffer <percent>} {weight <value>}

Description
Modifies the parameters for the default QoS profiles (QP1 and QP8) and defines the parameters for any user-created QoS profiles (QP2, QP3, QP4, QP5, QP6, and/or QP7).

Syntax Description
qosprofile maxbuffer <percent> weight <value> Specifies a QoS profile name. Range is QP1 to QP8; the defaults are QP1 and QP8. Specifies the percentage of the total buffer you are reserving for this QoS profile. The range is 1 to 100; the default setting is 100. Specifies the weight value used for queue service weighting in the weightedround-robin scheduler for this QoS profile. The range is 1 to 16; the default is 1.

Default

QoS profilesQP1 and QP8 Maximum buffer100% Weight1

Usage Guidelines
You must create a QoS profile before you can configure the user-created QoS profiles. You can modify the settings on the default QoS profiles (QP1 and QP8) because they are already created. To assign a QoS profile to a port, use the configure ports <port_list> {qosprofile} <qosprofile> command. If you attempt to configure a QoS profile that you have not created, the system returns an error message. To configure the type of scheduling you want to use for the entire switch, use the configure qosscheduler [strict-priority | weighted-round-robin] command. The maxbuffer parameter configures the maximum amount of packet buffer, by percentage, that the packets associated with the specified QoS profile can consume. Regardless of the setting for this parameter, the system does not drop any packets as long as packet buffer memory remains available and the current buffer use of the specified QoS profile is below the specified maxbuffer setting. The weight parameter configures the relative weighting for each QoS profile. Because each QoS profile has a default weight of 1, all QoS profiles have equal weighting. If you configure a QoS profile with a weight of 4, that specified QoS profile is services 4 times as frequently as the remaining QoS profiles, which still have a weight of 1. If you configure all QoS profiles with a weight of 16, each QoS profile is serviced equally but for a longer period.

configure qosscheduler

configure qosscheduler
configure qosscheduler [strict-priority | weighted-round-robin]

Description
Specifies the method the switch uses to service QoS profiles.

Syntax Description
strict-priority weighted-round-robin Specifies the switch services the higher-priority QoS profiles first. Specifies the switch services all QoS profiles based on the configured weighting for each QoS profile.

Default
Strict-priority.

Usage Guidelines
You configure the QoS scheduling algorithm for the entire switch; you cannot configure QoS scheduling for each port separately. NOTE
If you specify strict-priority, lower-priority queues are not serviced at all as long as higher-priority queues have any remaining packets. If you specify weighted-round-robin, the switch services higher-weighted queues more frequently but continues to service lower-weighted queues (even when packets remain in the higher-weighted queues).

Example
The following command configures the switch for weighted-round-robin servicing:
configure qosscheduler weighted-round-robin

Usage Guidelines
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch allow dynamic creation and deletion of QoS queues, with Q1 and Q8 always available, rather than the 8 fixed queues on the BlackDiamond 10K switch. You must create the QoS profile before you can configure it. or assign it to ports or VLANs. Use the command configure qosprofile <qosprofile> {maxbuffer <percent>} {weight <value>} to configure the QoS profile once you create it. Use the configure ports <port_list> {qosprofile} <qosprofile> command to associate a QoS profile with ports and the configure vlan <vlan_name> {qosprofile} <qosprofile> command to associate a QoS profile with VLANs. QoS profiles QP1 and QP8 are defaults and cannot be deleted.

15 Security Commands
This chapter describes commands for:

Managing the switch using SSH2 Configuring switch user authentication through a RADIUS client Configuring switch user authentication through TACACS+ Protecting the switch from Denial of Service attacks

SSH
Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows you to encrypt session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch. Configuration and policy files may also be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Program 2 (SCP2).

User Authentication
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS, RFC 2138) is a mechanism for authenticating and centrally administrating access to network nodes. The ExtremeWare XOS RADIUS client implementation allows authentication for SSH2, Telnet or console access to the switch. Extreme switches are also capable of sending RADIUS accounting information. You can configure RADIUS accounting servers to be the same as the authentication servers, but this is not required. Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) is a mechanism for providing authentication, authorization, and accounting on a centralized server, similar in function to the RADIUS client. The ExtremeWare XOS version of TACACS+ is used to authenticate prospective users who are attempting to administer the switch. TACACS+ is used to communicate between the switch and an authentication database.

NOTE
You cannot use RADIUS and TACACS+ at the same time.

Denial of Service
You can configure ExtremeWare XOS to protect your Extreme switches in the event of a denial of service attack. During a typical denial of service attack, the CPU on the switch gets flooded with packets from multiple attackers, potentially causing the switch to fail. To protect against this type of attack, you can configure the software so that when the number of packets received is more than the configured threshold limit of packets per second, a hardware ACL is enabled.

configure dos-protect trusted ports

configure dos-protect trusted-ports [ports [<ports> | all] | add-ports [<ports-to-add> | all] | delete-ports [<ports-to-delete> | all] ]

Description
Configures the list of trusted ports.

Syntax Description
ports ports-to-add all ports-to-delete Specifies the trusted ports list. Specifies the ports to add to the trusted ports list. Specifies all the ports. Specifies the ports to delete from the trusted ports list.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Traffic from trusted ports will be ignored when DoS protect counts the packets to the CPU. If we know that a machine connected to a certain port on the switch is a safe "trusted" machine, and we know that we will not get a DoS attack from that machine, the port where this machine is connected to can be configured as a trusted port, even though a large amount of traffic is going through this port.

Example
This example sets the trusted port list to 3:1-3:7:
configure dos-protect trusted-ports ports 3:1-3:7

This example adds the trusted port 3:8 to the current list (use this command with a network administrator machine not connected to the internet that is attached to port 3:8):

configure ports limit-learning lock-learning

configure ports limit-learning lock-learning

configure ports <portlist> vlan <vlan name> [limit-learning <number> | lock-learning | unlimited-learning | unlock-learning]

Description
Configures virtual ports for limited or locked MAC address learning.

Syntax Description
portlist vlan name limit-learning <number> lock-learning unlimited-learning unlock-learning Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies the name of the VLAN. Specifies a limit on the number of MAC addresses that can be dynamically learned on the specified ports. Specifies that the current FDB entries for the specified ports should be made permanent static, and no additional learning should be allowed. Specifies that there should not be a limit on MAC addresses that can be learned. Specifies that the port should be unlocked (allow unlimited, dynamic learning).

Default
Unlimited, unlocked learning.

Usage Guidelines
If you have enabled ESRP, see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide for information about using this feature with ESRP. Limited learning. The limited learning feature allows you to limit the number of dynamically-learned MAC addresses per VLAN. When the learned limit is reached, all new source MAC addresses are blackholed at both the ingress and egress points. This prevent these MAC addresses from learning and responding to Internet control message protocol (ICMP) and address resolution protocol (ARP) packets. If the limit you configure is greater than the current number of learned entries, all the current learned entries are purged. Dynamically learned entries still get aged, and can be cleared. If entries are cleared or aged out after the learning limit has been reached, new entries will then be able to be learned until the limit is reached again. Permanent static and permanent dynamic entries can still be added and deleted using the create fdbentry and delete fdbentry commands. These override any dynamically learned entries.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

739

Security Commands For ports that have a learning limit in place, the following traffic still flows to the port:

Packets destined for permanent MACs and other non-blackholed MACs Broadcast traffic EDP traffic

Traffic from the permanent MAC and any other non-blackholed MACs will still flow from the virtual port. If you configure a MAC address limit on VLANS that participate in an Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) domain, you should add an additional back-to-back link (that has no MAC address limit on these ports) between the ESRP-enabled switches. Doing so prevents ESRP protocol data units (PDUs) from being dropped due to MAC address limit settings. Port lockdown. The port lockdown feature allows you to prevent any additional learning on the virtual port, keeping existing learned entries intact. This is equivalent to making the dynamically-learned entries permanent static, and setting the learning limit to zero. All new source MAC addresses are blackholed. Locked entries do not get aged, but can be deleted like any other permanent FDB entries. The maximum number of permanent lockdown entries is 1024. Any FDB entries above will be flushed and blackholed during lockdown. For ports that have lockdown in effect, the following traffic still flows to the port:

Packets destined for the permanent MAC and other non-blackholed MACs Broadcast traffic EDP traffic

Traffic from the permanent MAC will still flow from the virtual port. Once the port is locked down, all the entries become permanent and will be saved across reboot. When you remove the lockdown using the unlock-learning option, the learning-limit is reset to unlimited, and all associated entries in the FDB are flushed. To verify the MAC security configuration for the specified VLAN or ports, use the following commands:
show vlan <vlan name> security show ports <portlist> info detail

Example
The following command limits the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on ports 1, 2, 3, and 6 in a VLAN named accounting, to 128 addresses:
configure ports 1, 2, 3, 6 vlan accounting learning-limit 128

The following command locks ports 4 and 5 of VLAN accounting, converting any FDB entries to static entries, and prevents any additional address learning on these ports:
configure ports 4,5 vlan accounting lock-learning

configure radius-accounting {mgmt-access | netlogin} timeout <seconds>

Description
Configures the timeout interval for RADIUS-Accounting authentication requests.

Syntax Description
mgmt-access netlogin seconds Specifies the switch management RADIUS accounting server. Specifies the network login RADIUS accounting server. Specifies the number of seconds for accounting requests. Range is 3 to 120 seconds.

Default
The default is 3 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the timeout interval for RADIUS-Accounting authentication requests. When the timeout has expired, another authentication attempt will be made. After three failed attempts to authenticate, the alternate server will be used. The mgmt-access keyword specifies the RADIUS accounting server used for switch management. The netlogin keyword specifies the RADIUS accounting server used for network login. If you do not specify the mgmt-access or netlogin keywords, the timeout interval applies to both switch management and netlogin RADIUS accounting servers.

Example
This example configures the timeout interval for RADIUS-Accounting authentication to 10 seconds. After 30 seconds (three attempts), the alternate RADIUS server will be used:
configure radius-accounting timeout 10

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1. The mgmt-access and netlogin keywords were added in ExtremeWare XOS 11.2.

configure ssh2 key

configure ssh2 key

configure ssh2 key {pregenerated}

Description
Generates the Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) host key.

Syntax Description
pregenerated Indicates that the SSH2 authentication key has already been generated. The user will be prompted to enter the existing key.

Default
The switch generates a key for each SSH2 session.

Usage Guidelines
Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of ExtremeWare that allows you to encrypt session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system. Configuration and policy files may also be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Program 2 (SCP2) SSH2 functionality is not present in the base ExtremeWare XOS software image, but is available as an additional, installable module. Before you can access any SSH2 commands, you must install the module. Without the module, the SSH2 commands do not appear on the command line. To install the module, see the instructions in Appendix A, Software Upgrade and Boot Options. After you have installed the SSH2 module, you must generate a host key and enable SSH2. To generate an SSH2 host key, use the configure ssh2 key command. To enable SSH2, use the enable ssh2 command. An authentication key must be generated before the switch can accept incoming SSH2 sessions. This can be done automatically by the switch, or you can enter a previously generated key. If you elect to have the key generated, the key generation process can take up to ten minutes, and cannot be canceled after it has started. Once the key has been generated, you should save your configuration to preserve the key. To use a key that has been previously created, use the pregenerated keyword. You are prompted to enter the pregenerated key. You can use the show configuration command to list the previously generated key then copy and paste it after the configure ssh2 key {pregenerated} command. NOTE
Keys generated by ExtremeWare XOS cannot be used on switches running ExtremeWare images, and keys generated by ExtremeWare cannot be used on switches running ExtremeWare XOS images.

Security Commands The key generation process generates the SSH2 private host key. The SSH2 public host key is derived from the private host key, and is automatically transmitted to the SSH2 client at the beginning of an SSH2 session. To view the status of SSH2 on the switch, use the show management command. The show management command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for SSH2 sessions, whether a valid key is present, and the TCP port and virtual router that is being used

Example
The following command generates an authentication key for the SSH2 session:
configure ssh2 key

The command responds with the following messages:

WARNING: Generating new server host key This will take approximately 10 minutes and cannot be canceled. Continue? (y/n)

If you respond yes, the command begins the process. To configure an SSH2 session using a previously generated key, use the following command:
configure ssh2 key pregenerated 2d:2d:2d:2d:20:42:45:47:

Enter the previously-generated key (you can copy and paste it from the saved configuration file).

configure ssl certificate pregenerated

configure ssl certificate pregenerated

configure ssl certificate pregenerated

Description
Obtains the pre-generated certificate from the user.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must upload or generate a certificate for SSL server use. With this command, you copy and paste the certificate into the command line followed by a blank line to end the command. The following security algorithms are supported:

RSA for public key cryptography (generation of certificate and public-private key pair, certificate signing). RSA key size between 1024 and 4096 bits. Symmetric ciphers (for data encryption): RC4, DES, and 3DES. Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms: MD5 and SHA.

This command is also used when downloading or uploading the configuration. Do not modify the certificate stored in the uploaded configuration file because the certificate is signed using the issuers private key. The certificate and private key file should be in PEM format and generated using RSA as the cryptography algorithm. Similar to SSH2, before you can use any SSL commands, you must first download and install the separate Extreme Networks SSH software module (ssh.xmod). This additional module allows you to configure both SSH2 and SSL on the switch. SSL is packaged with the SSH module; therefore, if you do not install the module, you are unable to configure SSL. If you try to execute SSL commands without installing the module first, the switch notifies you to download and install the module. To install the module, see the instructions in Appendix A of the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. The Converged Network Analyzer (CNA) Agent requires SSL to encrypt communication between the CNA Agent and the CNA Server. For more information about the CNA Agent, see Appendix C, CNA Agent.

configure ssl certificate privkeylen

configure ssl certificate privkeylen <length> country <code> organization <org_name> common-name <name>

Description
Creates a self signed certificate and private key that can be saved in the EEPROM.

Syntax Description
length code org_name name Specifies the private key length in bytes. Valid values are between 1024 and 4096. Specifies the country code in 2-character form. Specifies the organization name. The organization name can be up to 64 characters long. Specifies the common name. The common name can be up to 64 characters long.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command creates a self signed certificate and private key that can be saved in the EEPROM. The certificate generated is in the PEM format. Any existing certificate and private key is overwritten. The size of the certificate depends on the RSA key length (privkeylen) and the length of the other parameters (country, organization name, and so forth) supplied by the user. If the RSA key length is 1024, then the certificate is approximately 1 kb. For an RSA key length of 4096, the certificate length is approximately 2 kb, and the private key length is approximately 3 kb. Similar to SSH2, before you can use any SSL commands, you must first download and install the separate Extreme Networks SSH software module (ssh.xmod). This additional module allows you to configure both SSH2 and SSL on the switch. SSL is packaged with the SSH module; therefore, if you do not install the module, you are unable to configure SSL.

configure tacacs timeout

configure tacacs timeout <seconds>

Description
Configures the timeout interval for TACAS+ authentication requests.

Syntax Description
seconds Specifies the number of seconds for authentication requests. Range is 3 to 120 seconds.

Default
The default is 3 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the timeout interval for TACACS+ authentication requests. To detect and recover from a TACACS+ server failure when the timeout has expired, the switch makes one authentication attempt before trying the next designated TACACS+ server or reverting to the local database for authentication. In the event that the switch still has IP connectivity to the TACACS+ server, but a TCP session cannot be established, (such as a failed TACACS+ daemon on the server), failover happens immediately regardless of the configured timeout value. For example, if the timeout value is set for 3 seconds (the default value), it will take 3 seconds to fail over from the primary TACACS+ server to the secondary TACACS+ server. If both the primary and the secondary servers fail or are unavailable, it takes approximately 6 seconds to revert to the local database for authentication.

Example
The following command configures the timeout interval for TACACS+ authentication to 10 seconds:
configure tacacs timeout 10

Description
Permits downloading of a certificate key from files stored in a TFTP server.

Syntax Description
ip_address cert file Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server. Specifies the name of the certificate key.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If the download operation is successful, any existing certificate is overwritten. After a successful download, the software attempts to match the public key in the certificate against the private key stored. If the private and public keys do not match, the switch displays a warning message similar to the following: Warning: The Private Key does not match with the Public Key in the certificate. This warning acts as a reminder to also download the private key. NOTE
You can only download a certificate key in the VR-Mgmt virtual router.

Downloaded certificates and keys are not saved across switch reboots unless you save your current switch configuration. Once you issue the save command, the downloaded certificate is stored in the configuration file and the private key is stored in the EEPROM. Similar to SSH2, before you can use any SSL commands, you must first download and install the separate Extreme Networks SSH software module (ssh.xmod).

Security Commands

download ssl privkey

download ssl <ip_address> privkey <key file>

Description
Permits downloading of a private key from files stored in a TFTP server.

Syntax Description
ip_address key file Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server. Specifies the name of the private key file.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If the operation is successful, the existing private key is overwritten. After a successful download, a check is performed to find out whether the private key downloaded matches the public key stored in the certificate. If the private and public keys do not match, the switch displays a warning similar to the following: Warning: The Private Key does not match with the Public Key in the certificate. This warning acts as a reminder to also download the corresponding certificate. The certificate and private key file should be in PEM format and generated using RSA as the cryptography algorithm. Downloaded certificates and keys are not saved across switch reboots unless you save your current switch configuration. Once you issue the save command, the downloaded certificate is stored in the configuration file and the private key is stored in the EEPROM. Similar to SSH2, before you can use any SSL commands, you must first download and install the separate Extreme Networks SSH software module (ssh.xmod). This additional module allows you to configure both SSH2 and SSL on the switch. SSL is packaged with the SSH module; therefore, if you do not install the module, you are unable to configure SSL. If you try to execute SSL commands without installing the module first, the switch notifies you to download and install the module. To install the module, see the instructions in Appendix A of the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. Remote IP Address Character Restrictions.

Description
Enables SSH2 server to accept incoming sessions from SSH2 clients.

Syntax Description
access_profile none port vr_name Specifies an ACL policy. Cancels a previously configured ACL policy. Specifies a TCP port number. The default is port 22. Specifies a virtual router name. NOTE: The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs. all default Specifies that SSH is enabled on all virtual routers. Specifies that SSH is enabled on the default virtual router.

Default
The SSH2 feature is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.

SSH2 enables the encryption of session data. You must be logged in as an administrator to enable SSH2. SSH2 functionality is not present in the base ExtremeWare XOS software image, but is in an additional, installable module. Before you can access any SSH2 commands, you must install the module. Without the module, the commands do not appear on the command line. To install the module, see the instructions in Appendix A, Software Upgrade and Boot Options. After you have installed the SSH2 module, you must generate a host key and enable SSH2. To generate an SSH2 host key, use the configure ssh2 key command. To enable SSH2, use the enable ssh2 command. Use the port option to specify a TCP port number other than the default port of 22. You can only specify ports 22 and 1024 through 65535. Using ACLs to Control SSH Access. You can specify a list of predefined clients that are allowed SSH2 access to the switch. To do this, you configure an ACL policy to permit or deny a specific list of IP addresses and subnet masks for the SSH port. You must create an ACL policy file before you can use

Security Commands the access-profile option. If the ACL policy file does not exist on the switch, the switch returns an error message indicating that the file does not exist. Use the none option to cancel a previously configured ACL. Creating an ACL Policy File. To create an ACL policy file, use the edit policy command. For more information about creating and implementing ACL policy files, see Chapter 12, Policy Manager and Chapter 13, Access Lists (ACLs), in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. If you attempt to implement a policy that does not exist on the switch, an error message similar to the following appears:
Error: Policy /config/MyAccessProfile_2.pol does not exist on file system

If this occurs, make sure the policy you want to implement exists on the switch. To confirm the policies on the switch, use the ls command. If the policy does not exist, create the ACL policy file. Viewing SSH Information. To view the status of SSH2 sessions on the switch, use the show management command. The show management command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for SSH2 sessions and whether a valid key is present.

Example
The following command enables the SSH2 feature:
enable ssh2

The next example assumes you have already created an ACL to apply to SSH. The following command applies the ACL MyAccessProfile_2 to SSH:

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to allow users to connect using a more secure connection. Similar to SSH2, before you can use any SSL commands, you must first download and install the separate Extreme Networks SSH software module (ssh.xmod). This additional module allows you to configure both SSH2 and SSL on the switch. SSL is packaged with the SSH module; therefore, if you do not install the module, you are unable to configure SSL. If you try to execute SSL commands without installing the modul first, the switch notifies you to download and install the module. To install the module, see the instructions in Appendix A of the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. To use secure HTTP access (HTTPS) for web-based login connections, you must specify HTTPS as the protocol when configuring the redirect URL. For more information about configuring the redirect URL, see the configure netlogin redirect-page command. Prior to ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, the SSH module did not include SSL. To use SSL, you must download and install the current SSH module. If you are currently running SSH with ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 or 11.1, and you want to use SSL for secure HTTPS web-based login, you must upgrade your core software image to ExtremeWare XOS 11.2 or later, install the SSH module that works in concert with that core software image, and reboot the switch.

16 Network Login Commands

This chapter describes commands for configuring network login. Network login is a feature designed to control the admission of user packets into a network by giving network access only to users that have been properly authenticated. Network login is controlled by an administrator on a per port, per VLAN basis and uses an integration of DHCP, user authentication over the web interface, user authentication by MAC address, or 802.1x client software, and a RADIUS server to provide a user database or specific configuration details. Network login has two modes of operation:

Campus mode, used when a port in a VLAN will move to another VLAN when authentication has been completed successfully. This mode is for the roaming user who will not always be using the same port for authentication. Campus mode requires a DHCP server and a RADIUS server configured for Extreme Network Login. ISP mode, used when the port and VLAN used will remain constant. All network settings are configured for that VLAN.

A DHCP server is included to support Network Login functionality.

clear netlogin state

clear netlogin state [{port <portlist>} {vlan <vlan name>}]

Description
Clears and initializes the Network Login sessions on a VLAN port.

Syntax Description
portlist vlan name Specifies the ports to clear. Specifies a VLAN to clear.

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
Clear the states of every MAC learned on this VLAN port and put the port back to unauthenticated state. The port will be moved to its original VLAN if configured in Campus mode.

Example
The following example clears the Network Login state of port 2:9 in VLAN corp:
clear netlogin state port 2:9 vlan corp

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

clear netlogin state mac-address

clear netlogin state mac-address

clear netlogin state mac-address <mac>

Description
Initialize/Reset the Network Login sessions for a specified supplicant.

Syntax Description
mac Specifies the MAC address of the supplicant.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command is essentially equivalent to a particular supplicant logging out. The MAC address will be cleared from the FDB, the port is put back to its original VLAN (for Campus mode), and the port state is set to unauthenticated, if this was the last authenticated MAC on this port.

Example
The following example resets the Network Login session for the supplicant with the MAC address of 00:e0:18:01:32:1f:
clear netlogin state mac-address 00:e0:18:01:32:1f

Network Login Commands

configure netlogin add mac-list

configure netlogin add mac-list [<mac> {<mask>} | default] {encrypted} {<password>} {ports <port_list>}

Description
Adds an entry to the MAC address list for MAC-based Network Login.

Syntax Description
mac mask default encrypted password ports Specifies the MAC address to add. Specifies the number of bits to use for the mask. Specifies the default entry. Used to display encrypted form of password in configuration files. Do not use. Specifies the password to send for authentication. Specifies the port or port list to use for authentication.

Default
If no password is specified, the MAC address will be used.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to add an entry to the MAC address list used for MAC-based Network Login. If no match is found in the table of MAC entries, and a default entry exists, the default will be used to authenticate the client. All entries in the list are automatically sorted in longest prefix order. Associating a MAC Address to a Port. You can configure the switch to accept and authenticate a client with a specific MAC address. Only MAC addresses that have a match for the specific ports are sent for authentication. For example, if you associate a MAC address with one or more ports, only authentication requests for that MAC addresses received on the port(s) are sent to the RADIUS server. The port(s) block all other authentication requests that do not have a matching entry. This is also known as secure MAC. To associate a MAC address with one or more ports, specify the ports option when using the
configure netlogin add mac-list [<mac> {<mask>} | default] {encrypted} {<password>} {ports <port_list>} command.

You must enable MAC-based netlogin on the switch and the specified ports before using this command. If MAC-based netlogin is not enabled on the specified port(s), the switch displays a warning message similar to the following:
WARNING: Not all specified ports have MAC-Based NetLogin enabled.

If this occurs, make sure to enable MAC-based netlogin.

834

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Network Login Commands

configure netlogin dot1x guest-vlan

configure netlogin dot1x guest-vlan <vlan_name>

Description
Configures a guest VLAN for 802.1x.

Syntax Description
vlan_name Specifies the name of the guest VLAN.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the guest VLAN for 802.1x on the current virtual router (VR). A guest VLAN provides limited or restricted network access if a supplicant does not respond to the 802.1x authentication requests sent by the switch. You configure a guest VLAN only on netlogin ports with 802.1x enabled; movement to a guest VLAN is not supported on netlogin ports with MAC-based or web-based authentication. 802.1x must be the only authentication method enabled on the port for movement to guest VLAN. A port always moves untagged into the guest VLAN. You configure only one guest VLAN per virtual router interface.

NOTE
The supplicant does not move to a guest VLAN if it fails authentication after an 802.1x exchange; the supplicant moves to the guest VLAN only if it does not respond to an 802.1x authentication request.

By default, the switch attempts to authenticate the supplicant every 30 seconds for a maximum of three tries. If the supplicant does not respond to the authentication requests, the client moves to the guest VLAN. The number of authentication attempts is not a user-configured parameter. Use the following command and specify the supp-resp-timeout parameter to modify the supplicant response timer:
configure netlogin dot1x timers [{server-timeout <server_timeout>} {quiet-period <quiet_period>} {reauth-period <reauth_period>} {supp-resp-timeout <supp_resp_timeout>}]

The port moves out of the guest VLAN if, during subsequent authentications, the port is successfully authenticated and the RADIUS server indicates a different VLAN to move to. To enable the guest VLAN, use the following command:
enable netlogin dot1x guest-vlan ports [all | <ports>]

configure netlogin move-fail-action

configure netlogin move-fail-action

configure netlogin move-fail-action [authenticate | deny]

Description
Configures the action network login takes if a VLAN move fails. This can occur if two clients attempt to move to an untagged VLAN on the same port.

Syntax Description
authenticate deny Specifies that the client is authenticated. Specifies that the client is not authenticated. This is the default setting.

Default
The default setting is deny.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to specify how netlogin behaves if a VLAN move fails. Netlogin can either authenticate the client on the current VLAN or deny the client. The following describes the parameters of this command if two clients want to move to a different untagged VLAN on the same port:

authenticateNetwork login authenticates the first client that requests a move and moves that client to the requested VLAN. Network login authenticates the second client but does not move that client to the requested VLAN. The second client moves to the first clients authenticated VLAN. denyNetwork login authenticates the first client that requests a move and moves that client.

Network login does not authenticate the second client. To view the current move-fail-action setting on the switch, use the show netlogin command.

Example
The following example configures netlogin to authenticate the client on the current VLAN:
configure netlogin move-fail-action authenticate

Network Login Commands

configure netlogin ports mode

configure netlogin ports [all | <port_list>] mode [mac-based-vlans | portbased-vlans]

Description
Configures the netlogin ports mode of operation.

Syntax Description
all port_list mac-based-vlans port-based-vlans Specifies all netlogin ports. Specifies one or more netlogin ports. Allows more than one untagged VLAN. Allows only one untagged VLAN. This is the default behavior.

Default
The default setting is port-based-vlans.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure netlogin MAC-based VLANs on a netlogin port. If you modify the mode of operation to mac-based-vlans and later disable all netlogin protocols on that port, the mode of operation automatically returns to port-based-vlans. When you change the netlogin ports mode of operation, the switch deletes all currently known supplicants from the port and restores all VLANs associated with that port to their original state. In addition, by selecting mac-based-vlans, you are unable to manually add or delete untagged VLANs from this port. Netlogin now controls these VLANs. With netlogin MAC-based operation, every authenticated client has an additional FDB flag that indicates a translation MAC address. If the supplicants requested VLAN does not exist on the port, the switch adds the requested VLAN. Important Rules and Restrictions. This section summarizes the rules and restrictions for configuring netlogin MAC-based VLANs:

If you attempt to configure the ports mode of operation before enabling netlogin, the switch displays an error message similar to the following:
ERROR: The following ports do not have NetLogin enabled; 1

To enable netlogin on the switch, use the following command to enable netlogin and to specify an authentication method (for example, 802.1xidentified as dot1.x in the CLI):
enable netlogin dot1x

To enable netlogin on the ports, use the following command to enable netlogin and to specify an authentication method (for example, 802.1xidentified as dot1.x in the CLI):
enable netlogin ports 1:1 dot1x

17 CLEAR-Flow Commands
This chapter describes commands for:

Enabling and disabling CLEAR-Flow Displaying CLEAR-Flow rules Displaying triggered CLEAR-Flow rules

CLEAR-Flow is a broad framework for implementing security, monitoring, and anomaly detection in ExtremeWare XOS software. Instead of simply looking at the source and destination of traffic, CLEARFlow allows you to specify certain types of traffic that require more attention. Once certain criteria for this traffic are met, the switch can either take an immediate, pre-determined action, or send a copy of the traffic off-switch for analysis. CLEAR-Flow is an extension to Access Control Lists (ACLs). You create ACL policy rules to count packets of interest. CLEAR-Flow rules are added to the policy to monitor these ACL counter statistics. The CLEAR-Flow agent monitors the counters for the situations of interest to you and your network. You can monitor the cumulative value of a counter, the change to a counter over a sampling interval, the ratio of two counters, or even the ratio of the changes of two counters over an interval. For example, you can monitor the ratio between TCP SYN and TCP packets. An abnormally large ratio may indicate a SYN attack. If the rule conditions are met, the CLEAR-Flow actions configured in the rule are executed. The switch can respond by installing an ACL that will block or rate limit the traffic, executing a set of CLI commands, or sending a report using a SNMP trap or EMS log message.

NOTE
CLEAR-Flow is available only on the BlackDiamond 10K family of switches.

18 EAPS Commands
This chapter describes commands for configuring and monitoring Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS). The EAPS protocol provides fast protection switching to layer 2 switches interconnected in an Ethernet ring topology, such as a metropolitan area network (MAN) or large campuses. EAPS protection switching is similar to what can be achieved with the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), but offers the advantage of converging in less than a second when a link in the ring breaks. EAPS operates by declaring an EAPS domain on a single ring. Any VLAN that warrants fault protection is configured on all ring ports in the ring, and is then assigned to an EAPS domain. On that ring domain, one switch, or node, is designated the master node, while all other nodes are designated as transit nodes. One port of the master node is designated the master nodes primary port (P) to the ring; another port is designated as the master nodes secondary port (S) to the ring. In normal operation, the master node blocks the secondary port for all non-control traffic belonging to this EAPS domain. If the master node detects a break in the ring, it unblocks its secondary port and allows data traffic to be transmitted and received through it. EAPS fault detection on a ring is based on a single control VLAN per EAPS domain. This EAPS domain provides protection to one or more data-carrying VLANs called protected VLANs. The control VLAN is used only to send and receive EAPS messages; the protected VLANs carry the actual data traffic. As long as the ring is complete, the EAPS master node blocks the protected VLANs from accessing its secondary port. A master node detects a ring fault in any of three ways:

Link down message sent by a transit node on the control VLAN Ring port down event from lower hardware layers Failed response to a periodic health-check packet on the control VLAN

When the master node detects a failure, it declares a failed state and opens its logically blocked secondary port on all the protected VLANs. The master node also flushes its forwarding database (FDB) and sends a message on the control VLAN to all of its associated transit nodes to flush their forwarding databases. To take advantage of the Spatial Reuse technology and broaden the use of the rings bandwidth, EAPS supports multiple EAPS domains running on the ring at the same time.

Licensing
You must have a Core or an Advanced Core license to configure and use all of the Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) features described in this chapter. The BlackDiamond 10K switch with an MSM-1 module or an MSM1-XL module, ships with a Core or Advance Core license, respectively.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

891

EAPS Commands The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch ship with an Advanced Edge license. To use the complete EAPS functionality, including running two or more EAPS rings, having a switch belonging to multiple EAPS rings, or configuring shared-ports that allow multiple EAPS domains to share a common link, you must have a Core software license. For more information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license, see Chapter 1, ExtremeWare XOS Overview in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.

892

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure eaps add control vlan

configure eaps add control vlan

configure eaps <name> add control vlan <vlan_name>

Description
Adds the specified control VLAN to the specified EAPS domain.

Syntax Description
name vlan_name Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies the name of the control VLAN.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must configure one control VLAN for each EAPS domain. The control VLAN is used only to send and receive EAPS messages. The VLAN that will act as the control VLAN must be configured as follows:

The VLAN must NOT be assigned an IP address, to avoid loops in the network. Only ring ports may be added as members of the control VLAN. The ring ports of the control VLAN must be tagged. NOTE

Extreme Networks recommends assigning the control VLAN a QoS profile of Qp8 with the QoS profile priority setting of HighHi to ensure that EAPS control VLAN traffic is serviced prior to other traffic and reaches its intended destination.

A control VLAN cannot belong to more than one EAPS domain. When the EAPS domain is active, you cannot delete or modify the configuration of the control VLAN.

Example
The following command adds the control VLAN keys to the EAPS domain eaps_1.
configure eaps eaps_1 add control vlan keys

configure eaps <name> add protect vlan <vlan_name>

Description
Adds the specified protected VLAN to the specified EAPS domain.

Syntax Description
name vlan_name Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies the name of the protected VLAN.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must configure one or more protected VLANs for each EAPS domain. The protected VLANs are the data-carrying VLANs. A protected VLAN can be added to one or more EAPS domains. When you configure the VLAN that will act as a protected VLAN, the ring ports of the protected VLAN must be tagged (except in the case of the default VLAN). As long as the ring is complete, the master node blocks the protected VLANs on its secondary port.

Example
The following command adds the protected VLAN orchid to the EAPS domain eaps_1:
configure eaps eaps_1 add protect vlan orchid

EAPS Commands

configure eaps failtime

configure eaps <name> failtime <seconds>

Description
Configures the value of the failtimer the master node uses for EAPS health-check packets.

Syntax Description
name seconds Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies the number of seconds the master node waits to receive a healthcheck packet before the failtimer expires. Default is 3 seconds, and the range is 2 to 300 seconds.

Default
The default is 3 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Use the failtime keyword and its associated seconds parameter to specify the amount of time the master node waits before the failtimer expires. The seconds parameter must be set greater than the configured value for hellotime. The default value is three seconds. Increasing the failtime value provides more protection by waiting longer to receive a health-check packet when the network is congested.

NOTE
You configure the action taken when the failtimer expires by using the configure eaps failtime expiryaction command.

In ExtremeWare XOS 11.0, the failtimer range was 2 to 60 seconds.

Example
The following command configures the failtimer value for the EAPS domain eaps_1 to 15 seconds:

EAPS Commands

configure eaps failtime expiry-action

configure eaps <name> failtime expiry-action [open-secondary-port | sendalert]

Description
Configures the action taken when the failtimer expires.

Syntax Description
name open-secondary-port send-alert Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies to open the secondary port when the failtimer expires. Specifies that a critical message is sent to the syslog when the failtimer expires.

Default
Default is send-alert.

Usage Guidelines
By default the action is to send an alert if the failtimer expires. Instead of going into a Failed state, the master node remains in a Complete or Init state, maintains the secondary port blocking, and writes a critical error message to syslog warning the user that there is a fault in the ring. An SNMP trap is also sent. If the EAPS ring contains non-EAPS devices, you must use the open-secondary-port parameter.

NOTE
Use caution when setting the failtimer expiry action to open-secondary port. Using this configuration, if the master node loses three consecutive hello protocol data units (PDUs), the failtimer will expirebut there may not be a break in the ring. Opening the secondary port in this situation would create a loop.

Example
The following command configures the failtimer expiry action for EAPS domain eaps_1:
configure eaps eaps_1 failtime expiry-action open-secondary-port

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0.

EAPS Commands

configure eaps fast-convergence

configure eaps fast-convergence [off | on]

Description
Enables EAPS to converge more quickly.

Syntax Description
off on Turns fast-convergence off. Default is off. Turns fast-convergence on.

Default
Default is off.

Usage Guidelines
This command acts on the switch, not per domain. In certain environments to keep packet loss to a minimum when the ring is broken, configure EAPS with fast-convergence turned on. If fast convergence is turned on, it will be displayed under the show eaps command. For example:
show eaps EAPS Enabled: No EAPS Fast-Convergence: Off Number of EAPS instances: 0 # EAPS domain configuration : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Domain State Mo En Pri Sec Control-Vlan VID Count --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE
If fast-convergence is turned on, the link filters on all EAPS ring ports are turned off. This can result problems if the ports hardware encountered a problem and started flapping between link-up/link-down states.

Example
The following command configures fast convergence for all of the EAPS domains on the switch:
configure eaps fast-convergence on

EAPS Commands

configure eaps hellotime

configure eaps <name> hellotime <seconds>

Description
Configures the value of the hello timer the master node uses for the EAPS health-check packet.

Syntax Description
name seconds Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies the number of seconds to wait between transmission of the healthcheck packets on the control VLAN. Must be greater than 0; default is 1 second, and the range is 1 to 59 seconds.

Default
Default is 1 second.

Usage Guidelines
Use the hellotime keyword and its associated seconds parameter to specify the amount of time the master node waits between transmissions of health-check packets on the control VLAN. Increasing the hellotime value keeps the processor from sending and processing too many health-check packets. This command applies only to the master node. If you configure the polling timers for a transit node, those values are ignored. If you later reconfigure that transit node as the master node, the polling timer values is used as the current values. If you are running ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 with the hello timer value greater than 15 seconds and you upgrade to ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 or later, you must modify the hello timer to be within the 1 to 15 seconds range.

Example
The following command configures the hellotime value for the EAPS domain eaps_1 to 2 seconds:
configure eaps eaps_1 hellotime 2

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0. The range for the hello timer was changed to 1 to 15 seconds in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1. The default value for the hello timer remains unchanged.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and EAPS names), Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the keyword, the system may return an error message.

Example
The following command renames EAPS domain eaps-1 to eaps-5:

EAPS Commands

configure eaps port

configure eaps <name> [primary | secondary] port <ports>

Description
Configures a node port as the primary or secondary port for the specified EAPS domain.

Syntax Description
name primary secondary ports Specifies the name of an EAPS domain. Specifies that the port is to be configured as the primary port. Specifies that the port is to be configured as the secondary port. Specifies one port or slot and port.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Each node on the ring connects through two ring ports. One port must be configured as the primary port; the other must be configured as the secondary port. The primary and secondary ports have significance only on a master node. The health-check messages are sent out the primary port of the master node, and the master node blocks the protected VLANs on the secondary port. You cannot use the same port for the master nodes secondary port and the shared-port. The master nodes secondary port must be different from the shared-port. There is no distinction between the primary and secondary ports on a transit node. Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.1, if you have a primary or secondary port that is a member of a load-shared group, you do not need to disable your EAPS domain and remove that ring port when modifying the load-shared group. For more information about configuring load sharing on your switch, see Chapter 5, Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch, in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide. You must have a Core or an Advanced Core license to configure multiple EAPS domains with different ring ports.

Example
The following command adds port 1 of the module installed in slot 8 to the EAPS domain eaps_1 as the primary port:
configure eaps eaps_1 primary port 8:1

configure eaps shared-port link-id

configure eaps shared-port <ports> link-id <id>

Description
Configures the link ID of the shared port.

Syntax Description
ports id Specifies the port number of the common link port. Specifies the link ID of the port.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Each common link in the EAPS network must have a unique link ID. The controller and partner shared ports belonging to the same common link must have matching link IDs. No other instance in the network should have that link ID.

Example
The following command configures the EAPS shared port 1:1 to have a link ID of 1.

configure eaps shared-port mode

configure eaps shared-port <ports> mode <controller | partner>

Description
Configures the mode of the shared port.

Syntax Description
ports controller Specifies the port number of the shared port. Specifies the controller mode. The controller is the end of the common link responsible for blocking ports when the common link fails thereby preventing the superloop. Specifies partner mode. The partner is responsible only for sending and receiving health-check messages.

partner

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The shared port on one end of the common link must be configured to be the controller. This is the end responsible for blocking ports when the common link fails thereby preventing the superloop. The shared port on the other end of the common link must be configured to be the partner. This end does not participate in any form of blocking. It is responsible only for sending and receiving healthcheck messages.

Example
The following command configures the shared port 1:1 to be the controller.
configure eaps shared-port 1:1 mode controller

EAPS Commands

configure eaps shared-port segment-timeout expiryaction

configure eaps shared-port <ports> segment-timeout expiry-action [segmentdown | send-alert]

Description
Configures the action taken when a segment is down.

Syntax Description
ports segment-down Specifies a partner or controller shared port. Specifies the behavior of the partner or controller switch. If either switch does not receive health check messages during the defined segment timeout, the switch marks the segment as down. Specifies the behavior of the partner or controller switch. If either switch does not receive health check messages during the defined segment timeout, the switch keeps the segment in the up state, with its failed flag set, and sends a warning message to the log.

send-alert

Default
Default is send-alert.

Usage Guidelines
By default, the action is to send an alert if the failtimer expires. Instead of the segment going into a failed state and being marked as segment down, the segment remains in a segment up state with the failed flag set. The switch writes a critical error message to the syslog warning the user that there is a fault in the segment. An SNMP trap is also sent. If the EAPS segment contains non-EAPS devices, you must use the segment-down parameter.

NOTE
Use caution when setting the segment-timeout expiry action to segment-down. Using this configuration, if the controller or partner node loses three consecutive hello PDUs, the failtimer will expirebut there may not be a break in the segment. Opening a blocked port in this situation would create a loop.

The following describes some general recommendations for using this command:

When you configure your Extreme Networks switches as the partner and controller, respectively, make sure that their segment timer configurations are identical. For example, if you have a partner switch with the segment-timeout expiry action set to send-alert, make sure the controller switch has its segment-timeout expiry action set to send-alert.

912

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure eaps shared-port segment-timeout expiry-action However, if you have a partner switch with the segment-timeout expiry action set to send-alert, and the controller switch does not have a segment timer configuration, you must configure the partner switchs segment-timeout expiry action to segment-down.

If you have a network containing non-Extreme Networks switches, set the segment-timeout expiry action to segment-down.

The following events may cause a ring segment failure:

There is a hardware failure. The controller or partner received a Link Down message from the partner or controller, respectively. The segment timer expires and the expiry action was set to segment down. This means that either the controller or partner did not receive health check messages during the defined segment timeout.

To view shared-port information, including shared-port segment status, use the show eaps sharedport {<port>} {detail} command.

Example
The following example makes the following assumptions:

The controller switch is an Extreme Networks switch running ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 The partner switch is an Extreme Networks switch running ExtremeWare 7.3

The following command configures the controller to keep the segment down if the segment-timeout expires:
configure eaps shared-port 3:3 segment-timeout expiry-action segment-down

On a transit node, the command displays one of the following states: IdleThe EAPS domain has been enabled, but the configuration is not complete. Links-UpThis EAPS domain is running, and both its ports are up and in the FORWARDING state. Links-DownThis EAPS domain is running, but one or both of its ports are down. PreforwardingThis EAPS domain is running, and both of its ports are up, but one of them is in a temporary BLOCKED state. On a master node, the command displays one of the following states: IdleThe EAPS domain has been enabled, but the configuration is not complete. InitThe EAPS domain has started but has not yet determined the status of the ring. The secondary port is in a BLOCKED state. CompleteThe ring is in the COMPLETE state for this EAPS domain. FailedThere is a break in the ring for this EAPS domain. Pre-InitThe EAPS domain has started operation for Init state and has sent a request to lower hardware layers to block the secondary port. It is in transient state waiting for acknowledgement from hardware layer indicating the operation is completed. Pre-CompleteThe EAPS domain has started operation for Complete state and has sent a request to lower hardware layers to block the secondary port. It is in transient state waiting for acknowledgement from the hardware layer indicating the operation is completed. [Failtimer Expired]When the failtimer expires and its action is set to send-alert, this flag is set. This flag indicates there is a misconfiguration or hardware problem in the EAPS ring. The EAPS master node will continue to remain in COMPLETE or INIT state with its secondary port blocking.

show eaps shared-port

show eaps shared-port

show eaps shared-port {<port>} {detail}

Description
Displays shared-port information for one or more EAPS domains.

Syntax Description
port detail Specifies a shared-port. Specifies to display the status of all segments and VLANs.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you enter the show eaps shared-port command without the detail keyword, the command displays a summary of status information for all configured EAPS shared ports. If you specify an EAPS shared-port, the command displays information about that specific port. Otherwise, the command displays information about all of the shared-ports configured on the switch. In an EAPS shared port configuration, the segment ports are sorted in ascending order based on their port number, not the order you add an EAPS domain to EAPS shared ports. This is particularly useful when planning your EAPS configuration.

NOTE
The order you add EAPS domains to EAPS shared ports is relevant if the EAPS domains have matching ring ports and participate in spatial reuse. In this case, the newly added EAPS domain is added to the list and sorted on its ring port AFTER all other EAPS domains with the matching ring port.

The benefit of sorting ports in ascending order is evident if a common link fails. The port with the lowest port number among the segment ports in the UP state becomes the Active Open port. When configuring your EAPS domain, keep the port numbers in mind. For high bandwidth links, utilize lower port numbers, and for low bandwidth links, utilize higher port numbers. This way, if a common link fails, the high bandwidth link is still available. You can use the detail keyword to display more detailed status information about the segments and VLANs associated with each shared port.

19 STP Commands
This chapter describes commands for:

Creating, configuring, enabling, and disabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the switch Enabling and disabling Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) on the switch Displaying and resetting STP settings on the switch

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a bridge-based mechanism for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP is a part of the 802.1D bridge specification defined by the IEEE Computer Society. To explain STP in terms used by the 802.1D specification, the switch will be referred to as a bridge. STP allows you to implement parallel paths for network traffic and ensure that redundant paths are:

Disabled when the main paths are operational. Enabled if the main path fails.

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) IEEE 802.1w provides an enhanced spanning tree algorithm that improves the convergence speed of bridged networks. RSTP takes advantage of point-to-point links in the network and actively confirms that a port can safely transition to the forwarding state without relying on any timer configurations. If a network topology change or failure occurs, RSTP rapidly recovers network connectivity by confirming the change locally before propagating that change to other devices across the network. For broadcast links, there is no difference in convergence time between STP and RSTP. RSTP supersedes legacy STP protocols, supports the existing STP parameters and configurations, and allows for seamless interoperability with legacy STP.

NOTE
STP and Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) cannot be configured on the same Virtual LAN (VLAN) simultaneously.

Spanning Tree Domains

The switch can be partitioned into multiple virtual bridges. Each virtual bridge can run an independent Spanning Tree instance. Each Spanning Tree instance is called a Spanning Tree Domain (STPD). Each STPD has its own root bridge and active path. After an STPD is created, one or more VLANs can be assigned to it. A port can belong to multiple STPDs. In addition, a VLAN can span multiple STPDs. The key points to remember when configuring VLANs and STP are:

Each VLAN forms an independent broadcast domain. STP blocks paths to create a loop-free environment. Within any given STPD, all VLANs belonging to it use the same spanning tree.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

935

STP Commands

Member VLANs
When you add a VLAN to an STPD, that VLAN becomes a member of the STPD. The two types of member VLANs in an STPD are:

Carrier Protected

Carrier VLAN. A carrier VLAN defines the scope of the STPD, which includes the physical and logical ports that belong to the STPD and the 802.1Q tag used to transport Extreme Multiple Instance Spanning Tree Protocol (EMISTP) or Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+) encapsulated Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). Only one carrier VLAN can exist in a given STPD, although some of its ports can be outside the control of any STPD at the same time. NOTE
The StpdID must be identical to the VLANid of the carrier VLAN in that STPD.

Protected VLAN. Protected VLANs are all other VLANs that are members of the STPD. These VLANs piggyback on the carrier VLAN. Protected VLANs do not transmit or receive STP BPDUs, but they are affected by STP state changes and inherit the state of the carrier VLAN. Protected VLANs can participate in multiple STPD, but any particular port in the VLAN can belong to only one STPD. Also known as non-carrier VLANs.

STPD Modes
An STPD has two modes of operation:

802.1D mode Use this mode for backward compatibility with previous STP versions and for compatibility with third-party switches using IEEE standard 802.1D. When configured in this mode, all rapid configuration mechanisms are disabled.

802.1w mode Use this mode for compatibility with Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP). When configured in this mode, all rapid configuration mechanisms are enabled. The benefit of this mode is available on point-topoint and edge ports only. You enable or disable RSTP on a per STPD basis only. You do not enable RSTP on a per port basis.

By default, the:

STPD operates in 802.1D mode. Default device configuration contains a single STPD called s0. Default VLAN is a member of STPD s0 with autobind enabled.

All STP parameters default to the IEEE 802.1D values, as appropriate.

Encapsulation Modes
You can configure ports within an STPD to accept and transmit specific BPDU encapsulations. This STP port encapsulation is separate from the STP mode of operation. For example, you can configure a port to accept the PVST+ BPDU encapsulation while running in 802.1D mode.

936

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

An STP port has three possible encapsulation modes:

802.1D mode This mode is used for backward compatibility with previous STP versions and for compatibility with third-party switches using IEEE standard 802.1D. BPDUs are sent untagged in 802.1D mode. Because of this, any given physical interface can have only one STPD running in 802.1D mode.

Extreme Multiple Instance Spanning Tree Protocol (EMISTP) mode EMISTP mode is proprietary to Extreme Networks and is an extension of STP that allows a physical port to belong to multiple STPDs by assigning the port to multiple VLANs. EMISTP adds significant flexibility to STP network design. BPDUs are sent with an 802.1Q tag having an STPD instance Identifier (StpdID) in the VLANid field.

Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+) mode This mode implements PVST+ in compatibility with third-party switches running this version of STP. The STPDs running in this mode have a one-to-one relationship with VLANs, and send and process packets in PVST+ format.

These encapsulation modes are for STP ports, not for physical ports. When a physical port belongs to multiple STPDs, it is associated with multiple STP ports. It is possible for the physical port to run in different modes for different domains to which it belongs.

STP Rules and Restrictions

This section summarizes the rules and restrictions for configuring STP as follows:

The carrier VLAN must span all ports of the STPD. The StpdID must be the VLANid of the carrier VLAN; the carrier VLAN cannot be partitioned. A default VLAN cannot be partitioned. If a VLAN traverses multiple STPDs, the VLAN must be tagged. An STPD can carry, at most, one VLAN running in PVST+ mode, and its StpdID must be identical with that VLANid. In addition, the PVST+ VLAN cannot be partitioned. The default VLAN of a PVST+ port must be identical with the native VLAN on the PVST+ device connected to that port. If an STPD contains both PVST+ and non-PVST+ ports, that STPD must be enabled. If that STPD is disabled, the BPDUs are flooded in the format of the incoming STP port, which may be incompatible with those of the connected devices. The 802.1D ports must be untagged; and the EMISTP/PVST+ ports must be tagged in the carrier VLAN. An STPD with multiple VLANs must contain only VLANs that belong to the same virtual router instance. Automatically adding ports to an STPD (known as STP autobind) cannot be configured on a Netlogin VLAN. STP cannot be configured on the following ports:

A mirroring target port. A software-controlled redundant port. A Netlogin port.

clear counters stp

clear counters stp {[all | diagnostics | domains | ports]}

Description
Clears, resets all STP statistics and counters.

Syntax Description
all diagnostics domains ports Specifies all STP domain, port, and diagnostics counters. Specifies STP diagnostics counters. Specifies STP domain counters. Specifies STP port counters.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If you do not enter a parameter, the result is the same as specifying the all parameter: the counters for all domains, ports, and diagnostics are reset. Enter one of the following parameters to reset the STP counters on the switch:

allSpecifies the counters for all STPDs and ports, and clears all STP counters diagnosticsClears the internal diagnostic counters domainsClears the domain level counters portsClears the counters for all ports and leaves the domain level counters

Viewing and maintaining statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause major network faults. By clearing the counters, you can see fresh statistics for the time period that you are monitoring.

Example
The following command clears all of the STP domain, port, and diagnostic counters:

configure stpd add vlan

configure stpd <stpd_name> add vlan <vlan_name> ports [all | <port_list>] {[dot1d | emistp | pvst-plus]}

Description
Adds all ports or a list of ports within a VLAN to a specified STPD.

Syntax Description
stpd_name vlan_name all port_list dot1d emistp pvst-plus Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies all of the ports in the VLAN to be included in the STPD. Specifies the port or ports to be included in the STPD. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be 802.1D. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be EMISTP. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be PVST+.

Default
All ports are in emistp mode, except those in STPD s0, whose default setting is 802.1d mode.

Usage Guidelines
To create an STP domain, use the create stpd command. To create a VLAN, use the create vlan command. This command adds a list of ports within a VLAN to a specified STPD provided the carrier VLAN already exists on the same set of ports. You can also specify the encapsulation mode for those ports. You cannot configure STP on the following ports:

Mirroring target ports Software-controlled redundant ports Netlogin ports

If you see an error similar to the following:

Error: Cannot add VLAN default port 3:5 to STP domain

You might be attempting to add:

Another 802.1D mode STP port to a physical port that already contains an 802.1D mode STP port (only one 802.1D encapsulation STP port can be configured on a particular STP port) A carrier VLAN port to a different STP domain than the carrier VLAN belongs A VLAN/port for which the carrier VLAN does not yet belong

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure stpd add vlan

NOTE
This restriction is only enforced in an active STP domain and when you enable STP to make sure you have a legal STP configuration.

Care must be taken to ensure that ports in overlapping domains do not interfere with the orderly working of each domains protocol. By default, when the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates a VLAN named default with a tag value of 1 and STPD s0. The switch associates VLAN default to STPD s0. All ports that belong to this VLAN and STPD are in 802.1D encapsulation mode with autobind enabled. If you disable autobind on the VLAN default, that configuration is saved across a reboot. Naming Conventions. If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keywords stpd and vlan are optional. STP Encapsulations Modes. You can specify the following STP encapsulation modes:

dot1dThis mode is reserved for backward compatibility with previous STP versions. BPDUs are

sent untagged in 802.1D mode. Because of this, any given physical interface can have only one STPD running in 802.1D mode.

emistpThis mode sends BPDUs with an 802.1Q tag having an StpdID in the VLANid field. pvst-plusThis mode implements PVST+ in compatibility with third-party switches running this version of STP. The STPDs running in this mode have a one-to-one relationship with VLANs, and send and process packets in PVST+ format.

NOTE
These encapsulation modes are for STP ports, not for physical ports. When a physical port belongs to multiple STPDs, it is associated with multiple STP ports. It is possible for the physical port to run in different modes for different domains for which it belongs.

STPD Identifier. An StpdID is used to identify each STP domain. You assign the StpdID when configuring the domain. An StpdID must be identical to the VLANid of the carrier VLAN in that STPD and that VLAN cannot belong to another STPD.

Example
Create a VLAN named marketing and an STPD named STPD1 as follows:
create vlan marketing create stpd stpd1

The following command adds the VLAN named marketing to the STPD STPD1, and includes all the ports of the VLAN in STPD1:
configure stpd stpd1 add vlan marketing ports all

The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks. The range for the cost parameter is 1 through 65,535. The switch automatically assigns a default path cost based on the speed of the port. If you configure the port cost, a setting of 1 indicates the highest priority. If you configured a port cost value and specify the auto option, the switch removes the user-defined port cost value and returns to the default, automatically assigned, port cost value. If a trunk port is the root port for an STP topology, port costs can fluctuate up and down and trigger topology changes. For example, if all links go down in the trunk (all ports go link-down), the available bandwidth is zero. The system displays a port cost of unknown (Unkn) and enters the disabled state. To prevent this dynamic behavior, configure the port cost of the trunk port with the configure stpd <stpd_name> ports <cost> <port_list> command. After you configure a static cost, the value is frozen until you specify the auto option.

configure stpd ports link-type

configure stpd <stpd_name> ports link-type [auto | broadcast | edge | point-to-point] <port_list>

Description
Configures the ports in the specified STPD as auto, broadcast, edge, or point-to-point link types.

Syntax Description
stpd_name auto Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies the switch to automatically determine the port link type. An auto link behaves like a point-to-point link if the link is in full-duplex mode or if link aggregation is enabled on the port. Used for 802.1w configurations. Specifies a port attached to a LAN segment with more than two bridges. Used for 802.1D configurations. A port with broadcast link type cannot participate in rapid reconfiguration. By default, all ports are broadcast links. Specifies a port that does not have a bridge attached. An edge port is placed and held in the STP forwarding state unless a BPDU is received by the port. Used for 802.1w configurations. Specifies a port attached to a LAN segment with only two bridges. A port with point-to-point link type can participate in rapid reconfiguration. Used for 802.1w configurations. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

port_list

Default
All ports are broadcast link types.

Usage Guidelines
If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keyword stpd is optional. The default, broadcast links, supports legacy STP (802.1D) configurations. If you configure a port to be an edge port, the port immediately enters the forwarding state. Edge ports remain in the forwarding state unless the port receives a BPDU. In that case, edge ports enter the blocking state. RSTP does not send any BPDUs from an edge port nor does it generate topology change events when an edge port changes its state. RSTP rapidly moves the designated ports of a point-to-point link type into the forwarding state. This behavior is supported by RSTP only. An auto link behaves like a point-to-point link if the link is in full duplex mode or if link aggregation is enabled on the port; otherwise, an auto link behaves like a broadcast link. If a non-STP switch exists

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure stpd ports link-type between several switches operating in 802.1w mode with auto links, the non-STP switch may negotiate full-duplex even though the broadcast domain extends over several STP devices. If the switch operates in 802.1D mode, any configured port link type will behave the same as the broadcast link type.

Example
The following command configures slot 2, ports 1 through 4 to be point-to-point links in STPD s1:

configure stpd ports mode

configure stpd <stpd_name> ports mode [dot1d | emistp | pvst-plus] <port_list>

Description
Configures the encapsulation mode for the specified port list.

Syntax Description
stpd_name dot1d emistp pvst-plus port_list Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be 802.1d. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be EMISTP. Specifies the STP encapsulation mode of operation to be PVST+. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

Default
Ports in the default STPD (s0) are dot1d mode. Ports in user-created STPDs are in emistp mode.

Usage Guidelines
If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keyword stpd is optional. You can specify the following STP encapsulation modes:

dot1dThis mode is reserved for backward compatibility with previous STP versions. BPDUs are

sent untagged in 802.1D mode. Because of this, any given physical interface can have only one STPD running in 802.1D mode.

emistpThis mode sends BPDUs with an 802.1Q tag having an StpdID in the VLANid field. pvst-plusThis mode implements PVST+ in compatibility with third-party switches running this version of STP. The STPDs running in this mode have a one-to-one relationship with VLANs, and send and process packets in PVST+ format.

Example
The following command configures STPD s1 with PVST+ packet formatting for slot 2, port 1:

Description
Assigns an StpdID to an STPD.

Syntax Description
stpd_name stpd_tag Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies the VLANid of the carrier VLAN that is owned by the STPD.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keyword stpd is optional. You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks. An StpdID is used to identify each STP domain. You assign the StpdID when configuring the domain. An StpdID must be identical to the VLANid of the carrier VLAN in that STP domain, and that VLAN cannot belong to another STPD. Unless all ports are running in 802.1D mode, an STPD must be configured with an StpdID. You must create and configure the VLAN, along with the tag, before you can configure the STPD tag. To create a VLAN, use the create vlan command. To configure the VLAN, use the configure vlan commands.

STP Commands You might be attempting to add:

Another 802.1D mode STP port to a physical port that already contains an 802.1D mode STP port (only one 802.1D encapsulation STP port can be configured on a particular STP port) A carrier VLAN port to a different STP domain than the carrier VLAN belongs A VLAN/port for which the carrier VLAN does not yet belong NOTE
This restriction is only enforced in an active STP domain and when you enable STP to ensure you have a legal STP configuration.

Naming Conventions. If your VLAN has the same name as another component, for example an STPD, Extreme Networks recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your VLAN has a name unique only to that VLAN, the keywords vlan and stpd are optional. STP Encapsulation Modes. You can specify the following STP encapsulation modes:

dot1dThis mode is reserved for backward compatibility with previous STP versions. BPDUs are

sent untagged in 802.1D mode. Because of this, any given physical interface can have only one STPD running in 802.1D mode.

emistpThis mode sends BPDUs with an 802.1Q tag having an StpdID in the VLANid field. pvst-plusThis mode implements PVST+ in compatibility with third-party switches running this version of STP. The STPDs running in this mode have a one-to-one relationship with VLANs, and send and process packets in PVST+ format.

These encapsulation modes are for STP ports, not for physical ports. When a physical ports belongs to multiple STPDs, it is associated with multiple STP ports. It is possible for the physical port to run in different modes for different domains for which it belongs.

Example
The following command adds slot 1, port 2 and slot 2, port 3, members of a VLAN named Marketing, to the STPD named STPD1, and specifies that they be in EMISTP mode:

enable stpd auto-bind

enable stpd <stpd_name> auto-bind vlan <vlan_name>

Description
Automatically adds ports to an STPD when ports are added to a member VLAN.

Syntax Description
stpd_name vlan_name Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies the name of the VLAN to have autobind enabled.

Default
The autobind feature is disabled on user-created STPDs. The autobind feature is enabled on the default VLAN that participates in the default STPD S0. If you enable autobind and add ports to a member VLAN, those ports are automatically added to the STPD.

Usage Guidelines
If you create an STPD and a VLAN with unique names, the keywords stpd and vlan are optional. When you issue this command, any port or list of ports that you add to the carrier VLAN are automatically added to the STPD with autobind enabled. In addition, any port or list of ports that you remove from a carrier VLAN are automatically removed from the STPD. This allows the STPD to increase or decrease its span as you add ports to or remove ports from a carrier VLAN. You cannot configure the autobind feature on a Netlogin VLAN. Carrier VLAN. A carrier VLAN defines the scope of the STPD, which includes the physical and logical ports that belong to the STPD and the 802.1Q tag used to transport STP BPDUs in the encapsulation mode is EMISTP or PVST+. Only one carrier VLAN can exist in a given STPD, although some of its ports can be outside the control of any STPD at the same time.

NOTE
The StpdID must be identical to the VLANid of the carrier VLAN in that STPD.

Protected VLAN. Protected VLANs are all other VLANs that are members of the STPD. These VLANs piggyback on the carrier VLAN. Protected VLANs do not transmit or receive STP BPDUs, but they are affected by STP state changes and inherit the state of the carrier VLAN. Protected VLANs can participate in multiple STPDs, but any particular port in the VLAN can belong to only one STPD. Enabling autobind on a protected VLAN does not expand the boundary of the STPD. However, the VLAN and port combinations are added to or removed from the STPD subject to the boundaries of the carrier VLAN.

Extreme Standby Router Protocol

The Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows multiple switches to provide redundant Layer 3 routing services to users. In addition to providing Layer 3 routing redundancy, ESRP also provides for Layer 2 redundancy. You can use these layered redundancy features in combination or independently. The Layer 2 redundancy features of ESRP offer fast failure recovery and provide for dual-homed system design. In some instances, depending on network system design, ESRP can provide better resiliency than using the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). You configure ESRP on a per domain basis on each switch. A maximum of two switches can participate in providing redundant Layer 3 or Layer 2 services to a single virtual LAN (VLAN). If you configure and use ESRP groups, more than two switches can provide redundant Layer 2 or Layer 3 services to a single vlan. The switches exchange keep-alive packets for each VLAN independently. Only one switch (the master) can actively provide Layer 3 routing and/or Layer 2 switching for each VLAN. This switch handles the forwarding, address resolution protocol (ARP) requests, and forwarding for this particular VLAN. Other participating switches for the VLAN are in slave mode waiting for an ESRP state change. To participate in ESRP, the following must be true:

A VLAN can belong to only one ESRP domain. The IP address for the VLANs participating in an ESRP domain must be identical. All switches in the ESRP network must use the same election algorithm, otherwise loss of connectivity, broadcast storms, or other unpredictable behavior may occur. If you have an untagged master VLAN, you must specify an ESRP domain ID. The domain ID must be identical on all switches participating in ESRP for that particular domain. If you have a tagged master VLAN, ESRP uses the 802.1Q tag (VLANid) of the master VLAN for the ESRP domain ID. If you do not use the VLANid as the domain ID, you must specify a different domain ID. As previously described, the domain ID must be identical on all switches participating in ESRP for that particular domain.

Extreme Networks recommends that all switches participating in ESRP run the same version of ExtremeWare XOS. Not all ESRP features are available in all ExtremeWare XOS software releases.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

ESRP Commands

ESRP Modes of Operation

ExtremeWare XOS has two modes of ESRP operation: standard and extended. Select standard if your network contains some switches running ExtremeWare, others running ExtremeWare XOS, and a combination of those switches participating in ESRP. Standard ESRP is backward compatible with and supports the ESRP functionality of ExtremeWare. Select extended ESRP if your network contains switches running only ExtremeWare XOS. Extended mode ESRP supports and is compatible with switches running ExtremeWare XOS. By default, ExtremeWare XOS operates in extended mode.

ESRP-Aware Switches
Extreme Networks switches that are not actively participating in ESRP but are connected on a network that has other Extreme Networks switches running ESRP are ESRP-aware. When ESRP-aware switches are attached to ESRP-enabled switches, the ESRP-aware switches reliably perform failover and failback scenarios in the prescribed recovery times. For an Extreme Networks switch to be ESRP-aware, you must create an ESRP domain on the aware switch (however, you do not enable the ESRP domain), add a master VLAN to that ESRP domain, and configure a domain ID, if necessary. To participate as an ESRP-aware switch, the following must be true:

The ESRP domain name must identical on all switches (ESRP-enabled and ESRP-aware) participating in ESRP for that particular domain. The master VLAN name and IP address must be identical on all switches (ESRP-enabled and ESRPaware) participating in ESRP for that particular domain. The domain ID must be identical on all switches (ESRP-enabled or ESRP-aware) participating in ESRP for that particular domain.

If you have an untagged master VLAN, you must specify an ESRP domain ID. If you have a tagged master VLAN, ESRP uses the 802.1Q tag (VLANid) of the master VLAN for the ESRP domain ID. If you do not use the VLANid as the domain ID, you must specify a different domain ID.

Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol

ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 introduces support for the Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol (ELRP). ELRP is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows you to prevent, detect, and recover from Layer 2 loops in the network. You can use ELRP with other protocols such as ESRP. With ELRP, each switch, except for the sender, treats the ELRP PDU as a Layer 2 multicast packet. The sender uses the source and destination MAC addresses to identify the packet it sends and receives. When the sender receives its original packet back, that triggers loop detection and prevention. Once a loop is detected, the loop recovery agent is notified of the event and takes the necessary actions to recover from the loop. ELRP operates only on the sending switch; therefore, ELRP operates transparently across the network. Details of using the standalone ELRP client are discussed in the ExtremeWare XOS User Guide chapter, Troubleshooting, and the commands used to configure standalone ELRP are described in Appendix B, Troubleshooting Commands.

clear esrp counters

clear esrp counters

clear esrp counters

Description
Clears the statistics gathered by ESRP for all ESRP domains on the switch.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to clear the state transition and the protocol packet counters gathered by ESRP. The state transition count displays the number of times the ESRP domain entered the following states:

AwareAn Extreme switch that does not participate in ESRP elections but is capable of listening to ESRP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). MasterThe master switch is the device with the highest priority based on the election algorithm. The master is responsible for responding to clients for Layer 3 routing and Layer 2 switching for the ESRP domain. NeutralThe neutral state is the initial state entered by the switch. In a neutral state, the switch waits for ESRP to initialize and run. A neutral switch does not participate in ESRP elections. PreMasterThe pre-master state is an ESRP switch that is ready to be master but is going through possible loop detection prior to transitioning to master. SlaveThe slave switch participates in ESRP but is not elected or configured the master and does not respond to ARP requests but does exchange ESRP packets with other switches on the same VLAN. The slave switch is available to assume the responsibilities of the master switch if the master becomes unavailable or criteria for ESRP changes. If the slave is in extended mode, it does not send ESRP hello messages; however, it sends PDUs that may trigger a change in the master switch. For more information about configuring the ESRP mode of operation on the switch, see the
configure esrp mode [extended | standard] command. By default, ESRP operates in extended

mode. To display information about the ESRP domain, including the previously described states, use the show
esrp {<name>} command.

The protocol packet count displays the number of times ESRP, ESRP-aware, and ESRP error packets were transmitted and received. To display information about the ESRP counters, use the show esrp {<name>} counters command.

clear esrp neighbor

clear esrp <esrpDomain> neighbor

Description
Clears the neighbor information for the specified ESRP domain.

Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines
If you add a new switch to your ESRP domain, use this command to clear the existing neighbor information for the ESRP domain. After the switch is up, running, and configured as an ESRP-aware or ESRP-enabled device, new neighbor information is learned. Before using this command, schedule a downtime for your network. Use this command for maintenance purposes only.

clear esrp sticky

clear esrp <esrpDomain> sticky

Description
Clears the stickiness in the ESRP domain and forces the election of the ESRP master switch.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain Specifies the name of an ESRP domain.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use the clear esrp sticky command to force the election of the ESRP master switch. Before using this command, schedule a downtime for your network. For example, without stickiness configured, if an event causes the ESRP master to failover to the backup, the previous backup becomes the new master. If another event causes the new master to return to backup, you have experienced two network interruptions. To prevent this, use the configure esrp election-policy and select stickiness as an election algorithm. If you use sticky as an election metric, and an event causes the ESRP master to failover, ESRP assigns the new master with the highest sticky election metric of 1. Therefore, regardless of changes to the neighbors election algorithm, the new master retains its position. Sticky is set on the master switch only. ESRP re-election can occur if sticky is set on the master and a local event occurs. During this time, if the current master has lower election parameters, the backup can become the new master. If you use clear esrp <esrpDomain> sticky command, it only affects the current master and can trigger ESRP re-election.

Example
The following command clears the stickiness on the ESRP domain esrp1:
clear esrp esrp1 sticky

configure esrp <esrpDomain> add master <vlan_name>

Description
Adds a master VLAN to an ESRP domain.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain vlan_name Specifies the name of an ESRP domain. Specifies the name of the master VLAN.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
You must configure one master VLAN for each ESRP domain. A master VLAN can belong to one ESRP domain only. An ESRP domain contains one master and zero or more member VLANs. The master VLAN:

Exchanges ESRP PDUs, hello messages, and data between a pair of ESRP-enabled switches. Contains the total number of active physical ports that are counted when determining the master ESRP domain. The switch with the highest number of active ports takes priority.

Master VLANs can have their own set of ports, and member VLANs can have a different set of ports. The state of the ESRP device determines whether the ports in the master and member VLANs are in the forwarding or blocking state.

Example
The following command adds the master VLAN purple to the ESRP domain esrp1:

configure esrp add track-environment

configure esrp add track-environment

configure esrp <esrpDomain> add track-environment failover <priority>

Description
Configures an ESRP domain to track environmental failures.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain priority Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies a number between 0 and 254. The default priority is 255. See the following "Usage Guidelines" section for more information.

Default
No environmental tracking.

Usage Guidelines
Environmental tracking tracks power supply and chassis temperature status. If a failure is detected, the ESRP domain priority steps to the failover-priority value specified. By setting the failover priority to be lower than the normal priority of the domain, it will cause the affected domain to go into slave mode. The range of the priority value is 0 to 254. Setting the priority to 255 configures the switch to slave mode, and to be ineligible to become the master. The switch will remain in slave mode even when the VLAN fails over from the current master. To make effective use of this feature, the normal priority of the ESRP domain must be higher than the failover priority of this command.

Example
The following command enables environmental failure tracking, and specifies that the ESRP priority for ESRP domain esrp1 be set to 10 upon an environmental failure.
configure esrp esrp1 add track-environment failover 10

configure esrp <esrpDomain> add track-ping <ipaddress> frequency <seconds> miss <misses>

Description
Configures an ESRP domain to track an external gateway using ping.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain ipaddress seconds misses Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the IP address of the external gateway. Specifies the interval in seconds between ping requests. Specifies the number of consecutive ping failures that will initiate failover to an ESRP slave.

Default
No ping tracking.

Usage Guidelines
The tracked-ping metric consists of the total number of stations that are successfully tracked using ping. ESRP uses an aggregate of tracked pings and traced routes to track an external gateway. An ESRP domain can track eight stations.

Example
The following command enables ping tracking for the external gateway at 10.207.29.17, pinging every 10 seconds, and considering the gateway to be unreachable if no response is received to 5 consecutive pings:

Description
Configures an ESRP domain to track port connectivity to a specified VLAN.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain vlan_name Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the VLAN to be tracked.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
The track-vlan metric is derived from the total number of active physical ports on the VLAN being tracked by the ESRP domain. If more than one VLAN shares a physical link, each VLAN counts the physical link. The ESRP switch should have a higher priority number than its neighbors to ensure master election. An ESRP domain can track one VLAN, and the tracked VLAN should not be a member of any other ESRP domain in the system.

Example
The following command enables ESRP domain esrp1 to track port connectivity to VLAN engineering:

ESRP Commands

configure esrp domain-id

configure esrp <esrpDomain> domain-id <number>

Description
Assigns an ESRP domain ID to an ESRP domain.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain number Specifies the name of an ESRP domain. Specifies the number to use for the ESRP domain ID. The user-configured ID range is 4096 through 65,535.

Default
If the master VLAN is tagged, ESRP uses that VLANid for the ESRP domain ID. If the master VLAN is untagged, you must specify the ESRP domain ID.

Usage Guidelines
Before you enable a specific ESRP domain, it must have a domain ID. A domain ID is either a userconfigured number or the VLANid of the tagged master VLAN. If you do not have a domain ID, you cannot enable ESRP on that domain. Each switch participating in ESRP for a particular domain must have the same domain ID configured. The number parameter range for user-configured domain IDs is 4096 through 65,535. If the master VLAN is tagged, you can use that VLANid for the ESRP domain ID. The range for VLAN tags is 2 through 4095. Tag 1 is assigned to the default VLAN.

Example
The following command assigns the domain ID 5000 to ESRP domain esrp1:
configure esrp esrp1 domain-id 5000

ESRP Commands

sticky > track > ports > priority track > ports > priority track > ports > priority > mac

Specifies that this ESRP domain should consider election factors in the following order: Stickiness, tracking information, active ports, ESRP priority. Specifies that this ESRP domain should consider election factors in the following order: Tracking information, active ports, ESRP priority. Specifies that this ESRP domain should consider election factors in the following order: Tracking information, active ports, ESRP priority, MAC address.

Default
In extended mode, the default election algorithm is sticky > ports > weight > track > priority
> mac.

In standard mode, the default election algorithm is ports > track > priority > mac.

Usage Guidelines
The election algorithm determines the order of precedence of the election factors used to determine the ESRP Master. The election factors are:

Stickiness (sticky): the switch with the higher sticky value has higher priority. When an ESRP domain claims master, its sticky value is set to 1 (available in extended mode only). Active Ports (ports): the number of active ports (the switch with the highest number takes priority) Tracking Information (track): whether the switch is using ESRP tracking. A switch using tracking has priority. ESRP Priority (priority): a user-defined priority number between 0 and 254. A higher number has higher priority. The default priority setting is 0. A priority setting of 255 makes an ESRP switch a standby switch that remains in slave mode until you change the priority setting. Extreme Networks recommends this setting for system maintenance. A switch with a priority setting of 255 will never become the master. MAC address (mac): the switch MAC address. A higher-number address has priority. Active port weight (weight)The switch that has the highest port weight takes precedence. The bandwidth of the port automatically determines the port weight (available only in extended mode). ESRP does not count ports with a weight of 0 (known as dont count ports) regardless of ESRP running in extended or standard mode.

The election algorithm must be the same on all switches for a particular ESRP domain. The election algorithms that use sticky are and weight are available in extended mode only. In ExtremeWare XOS 11.0, the extended mode default election algorithm is: sticky > ports > track > priority > mac > weight. This election algorithm is not supported in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1. Factors to Consider. The ports-track-priority or track-ports-priority options can be used to ensure that there is no failback if the original Master recovers (the Master will have the same ports, tracks and priority, but a higher MAC). Any of the options with sticky can also be used to ensure that there is no failback if the original master recovers. With sticky, if an event causes the ESRP master to failover, ESRP assigns the new master with the sticky count of 1. After sticky is set on the master, regardless of changes to its neighbors election algorithm, the new master retains its position. For example, adding active ports to the slave does not cause the new master to failback to the original master, even if the slave has more active ports than the master. Sticky algorithms provide for fewer network interruptions than non-sticky algorithms. Sticky is set on the master switch only.

1004

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure esrp election-policy ESRP re-election can occur if sticky is set on the master and a local event occurs. During this time, if the current master has lower election parameters, the backup can become the new master. Switch Behavior . If a switch is master, it actively provides Layer 3 routing services to other VLANs, and Layer 2 switching between all the ports of that VLAN. Additionally, the switch exchanges ESRP packets with other switches that are in slave mode. If a switch is in slave mode, it exchanges ESRP packets with other switches on that same VLAN. When a switch is in slave mode, it does not perform Layer 3 routing or Layer 2 switching services for the VLAN. Updating the Election Algorithm . ESRP uses the default election policy for extended mode. If you have an ESRP domain operating in standard mode, the domain ignores the sticky and weight algorithms. To change the election algorithm, you must first disable the ESRP domain and then configure the new election algorithm. If you attempt to change the election algorithm without disabling the domain first, an error message appears. To disable the ESRP domain, use the following command:
disable esrp {<esrpDomain>}

To modify the election algorithm, use the following command:

configure esrp <esrpDomain> election-policy [ports > track > priority | ports > track > priority > mac | priority > mac | priority > ports > track > mac | priority > track > ports > mac | sticky > ports > track > priority | sticky > ports > track > priority > mac | sticky > ports > weight > track > priority > mac | sticky > priority > mac | sticky > priority > ports > track > mac | sticky > priority > track > ports > mac | sticky > track > ports > priority > | track > ports > priority | track > ports > priority > mac >]

Example
The following command configures the election algorithm to use tracking information as the first criteria for determining the ESRP master switch for ESRP domain esrp1:
configure esrp esrp1 election-policy track > ports > priority > mac

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.0. The default election algorithm for extended mode was updated to sticky > ports > weight > track > priority > mac, and the weight election factor was used in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1. The sticky > ports > track > priority > mac > weight election algorithm is not supported in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

ESRP Commands

configure esrp elrp-master-poll disable

configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-master-poll disable

Description
Disables the use of ELRP by ESRP in the master state.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain Specifies an ESRP domain name.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to disable the use of ELRP by ESRP in the master state. When you disable ELRP, the ESRP master switch no longer transmits ELRP PDUs to detect network loops.

Example
The following command disables the use of ELRP in the master state on ESRP domain elrp1:
configure esrp elrp1 esrp elrp-master poll disable

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

configure esrp elrp-master-poll enable

configure esrp elrp-master-poll enable

configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-master-poll enable {interval <interval>}

Description
Enables the use of ELRP by ESRP in the master state, and configures how often the master checks for loops in the network.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain interval Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies how often, in seconds, successive ELRP packets are sent. The default is 1 second. The range is 1 to 64 seconds.

Default

Use of ELRP in the master statedisabled Interval1 second

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable the use of ELRP by ESRP in the master state. When an ESRP-enabled switch is in the master state, and you enable elrp-master-poll, the switch periodically sends ELRP PDUs at the configured interval level. If a loop is detected in the network, the transmitted PDUs are received by the switch. The ESRP master switch then transitions to the slave state to break the network loop. Extreme Networks recommends that you enable both premaster and master polling when using ELRP with ESRP. To enable premaster polling, use the configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-premasterpoll enable {count <count> | interval <interval>}. If you attempt to configure master polling before premaster polling, the switch displays an error message similar to the following:
ERROR: Premaster-poll should be enabled before enabling master-poll!

If this happens, first configure premaster polling followed by master polling (if required). Specify the interval parameter to configure how often successive ELRP PDUs are sent while in the master state. If you do not specify an interval value, the default value is used.

Example
The following command enables the use of ELRP in the master state on ESRP domain elrp1:
configure esrp elrp1 esrp elrp-master poll enable

The following command configures the ESRP master to check for loops in the network every 3 seconds:
configure esrp elrp1 esrp elrp-master-poll enable interval 3

configure esrp elrp-premaster-poll enable

configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-premaster-poll enable {count <count> | interval <interval>}

Description
Enables the use of ELRP by ESRP in the pre-master state, and configures how many times the switch sends ELRP PDUs and how often the switch sends ELRP PDUS in the pre-master state.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain count interval Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the number of times the switch sends ELRP PDUs. The default is 3. The range is 1 to 32. Specifies how often, in seconds, the ELRP PDUs are sent. The default is 1 second. The range is 1 to 32 seconds.

Default

Use of ELRP in the pre-master statedisabled Count3 times Interval1 second

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to enable the use of ELRP by ESRP in the pre-master state to prevent network loops from occurring. When an ESRP-enabled switch is in the pre-master state (waiting to become the master), and you enable elrp-premaster-poll, the switch periodically sends ELRP PDUs at the configure level for a specified number of times. If there is a loop in the network, the transmitted PDUs are received by the switch. If this happens, the ESRP pre-master switch does not transition to the master state; rather, the switch transitions to the slave state. Extreme Networks recommends that you enable both premaster and master polling when using ELRP with ESRP. To enable master polling, use the configure esrp <esrpDomain> elrp-master-poll enable {interval <interval>}. If you attempt to configure master polling before premaster polling, the switch displays an error message similar to the following:
ERROR: Premaster-poll should be enabled before enabling master-poll!

If this happens, first configure premaster polling followed by master polling (if required). If you do not specify the optional count or interval parameters, the default values are used. If the sender does not receive packets, there is no loop in the network.

ESRP Commands

configure esrp group

configure esrp <esrpDomain> group <number>

Description
Configures the group number to be used for the ESRP domain.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain group_number Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the ESRP group number to which this ESRP domain should be added. The range is 0 through 31.

Default
The default group number is 0.

Usage Guidelines
Each group runs an instance of ESRP within the same VLAN or broadcast domain. A maximum of seven ESRP groups can be defined within the same networked broadcast domain. In addition, a maximum of seven distinct ESRP groups can be supported on a single ESRP switch. You can configure a maximum of 32 ESRP groups in a network. The range for the group_number parameter is 0 through 31. The most typical application for multiple ESRP groups is when two or more sets of ESRP switches are providing fast-failover protection within a common subnet for two or more groups of users. An additional use for ESRP groups is ESRP Host Attach; ESRP VLANs that share the same ESRP HA ports must be members of different ESRP groups. You must first disable an ESRP domain before you modify an existing or add a new group number. If you try to modify the group number without disabling the ESRP domain, an error message similar to the following is displayed:
ERROR: can't change ESRP group for active domain "esrp1"!

To disable an ESRP domain, use the disable esrp {<esrpDomain>} command.

Example
The following command configures ESRP domain esrp1 to be a member of ESRP group 2:
configure esrp esrp-1 group 2

ESRP Commands

configure esrp mode

configure esrp mode [extended | standard]

Description
Configures the mode of operation for ESRP on the switch.

Syntax Description
extended Specifies ESRP extended mode. This mode is compatible with devices running ExtremeWare XOS and is not backward compatible with devices running ExtremeWare. Specifies ESRP standard mode. This mode is backward compatible with devices running ExtremeWare.

standard

Default
The default mode is extended.

Usage Guidelines
Use standard ESRP if your network contains a combination of switches running ExtremeWare XOS and ExtremeWare participating in ESRP. With standard ESRP, the switches running ExtremeWare XOS are backward compatible with the switches running ExtremeWare. Use extended ESRP if your network contains switches running only ExtremeWare XOS; this is the default. If your network has switches currently running ExtremeWare, and you add a BlackDiamond 10K switch, an Aspen family switch, or a Summit X450 switch running ExtremeWare XOS, select standard ESRP. By selecting standard, the switch running ExtremeWare XOS is backward compatible with the ExtremeWare implementation of ESRP. If you use the default modeextendedand your ESRP domain contains a switch running ExtremeWare XOS that detects a neighbor switch running ExtremeWare, the mode automatically changes to standard for that domain. This action causes the switch to enter the neutral state and re-elect the ESRP master. Since you are using the default mode of operation, and the switch running ExtremeWare XOS detected a neighbor switch running ExtremeWare, the ExtremeWare XOS switch toggles to standard mode although the configured mode of operation remains as extended.

Example
The following command configures ESRP to run in standard mode:
configure esrp mode standard

Description
Renames an existing ESRP domain.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain new-name Specifies the current name of an ESRP domain. Specifies a new name for the ESRP domain.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
The maximum length for a name is 32 characters. Names can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores ( _ ) but cannot be any reserved keywords, for example, esrp. Names must start with an alphabetical character, for example, a, Z. You can rename an ESRP domain regardless of its current state.

configure esrp ports mode

configure esrp ports mode

configure esrp ports <ports> mode [host | normal]

Description
Configures the ESRP port mode for ESRP host attach.

Syntax Description
ports host normal Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports that should be configured. Specifies that the ports should be configured as host ports. Specifies that the ports should be configured as normal ports.

Default
The default port mode is normal.

Usage Guidelines
Ports configured as normal ports do not accept or transmit Layer 2 or Layer 3 traffic when the local ESRP device is a slave. Ports configured as host ports allow the network to continue operation independent of ESRP status. The command sets the port to forward, allowing those ports directly attached to the slaves hosts to communicate with other hosts that are connected to the master. If you use load sharing with the ESRP HA feature, configure the load-sharing group first and then enable Host Attach on the group. A Layer 2 connection for VLANs between ESRP switches is required. An ESRP Host Attach port cannot be a mirroring port, software-controlled redundant port, or Netlogin port.

Example
The following command configures ports 1 through 5 on slot 3 as host ports:
configure esrp port 3:1-3:5 mode host

configure esrp ports restart

configure esrp ports restart

configure esrp <esrpDomain> ports <ports> restart

Description
Configures ESRP to restart ports if there is a state change and the downstream switch is from another vendor.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain ports Specifies the name of the ESRP domain. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
If an ESRP domain becomes a slave, ESRP disconnects member ports that have port restart enabled. The disconnection of these ports causes downstream devices to remove the ports from their FDB tables. After 3 seconds the ports re-establish connection with the ESRP-enabled device. This feature allows you to use ESRP in networks that include equipment from other vendors. If switch becomes a slave, ESRP disconnects the physical links of member ports that have port restart enabled. An ESRP restart port cannot be a mirroring port, software-controlled redundant port, or Netlogin port.

Example
The following command enables port restart for ports 7-9 on slot 3 on ESRP domain esrp1:
configure esrp esrp1 port 3:7-3:9 restart

ESRP Commands

configure esrp ports weight

configure esrp ports <ports> weight [auto | <port-weight>]

Description
Assigns the port weight for the specified ESRP port(s).

Syntax Description
ports auto port-weight Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. Specifies the switch to calculate the weight of a port based on the ports bandwidth and link speed. Specifies an ESRP port weight of 0. With a port weight of 0, the ports are not counted.

Default
The switch automatically calculates the weight of a port based on the bandwidth of the port.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to override the automatically calculated port weight. The port-weight parameter specifies a weight of 0. With this configuration, ESRP does not count host ports and normal ports as active. With a weight of 0, ESRP experiences fewer state changes due to frequent client activities like rebooting and unplugging laptops. A dont-count port cannot be a mirroring, software-controlled redundant port, or a Netlogin port. For load shared ports, configure one master port in the load-share group with the port weight. A single command specifies the weight for the entire load shared group. You can specify any port from the load share group in the command. A load-shared port has an aggregate weight of all of its member ports. If you add or delete a member port (or trunk), the weight of the master load-shared port is updated. For more information about load sharing, see Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch in the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.

Example
The following command configures port 1 on slot 3 with a weight of 0:

ESRP Commands

configure esrp priority

configure esrp <esrpDomain> priority <number>

Description
Configures the ESRP priority.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain number Specifies an ESRP domain number. Specifies a number between 0 and 255.

Default
The default ESRP priority is 0.

Usage Guidelines
The ESRP priority is one of the factors used by the ESRP election algorithm in determining which switch is the Master switch. The range of the priority value is 0 to 254, with 0 being the lowest priority, 254 being the highest. If the ESRP priority is the determining criteria for the election algorithm, the highest priority value determines which switch will act as master for a particular ESRP domain. Setting the priority to 255 configures the switch to slave mode, and to be ineligible to become the master. The switch will remain in slave mode even when the ESRP domain fails over from the current master. This feature is typically used to ensure a switch cannot become the ESRP master while it is offline for servicing.

Example
The following command configures the ESRP priority to the highest priority on ESRP domainesrp1:
configure esrp esrp1 priority 254

configure esrp timer hello

configure esrp timer hello

configure esrp <esrpDomain> timer hello <seconds>

Description
Configures the ESRP hello timer value.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain seconds Specifies an ESRP domain name Specifies the number of seconds between keep-alive packets. The range is 1 to 255 seconds.

Default
The default hello timer is 2 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
The timer specifies the interval, in seconds, for exchanging keep-alive packets between the ESRP switches for this ESRP domain. A lower value specifies a more frequent exchange of keep-alive messages, resulting in the faster detection of a failover condition. The timer setting must be configured identically for the ESRP domain across all participating switches. To see the hello settings, use the show esrp {<name>} command. The seconds range is 1 to 255. If your configuration contains more than 2,000 ESRP VLANs and 256,000 FDB entries, Extreme Networks recommends a timer setting greater than 3 seconds. To view the hello timer settings, use the show esrp {<name>} command. In a large ESRP configuration, the slave ESRP domain might inadvertently become the master ESRP domain. This can occur when FDB entries are flushed during a master-slave transition. To avoid this we recommend the general neighbor and hello timeout guidelines listed in Table 22 described in the configure esrp timer neighbor command.

Example
The following command configures the ESRP hello timer to 4 seconds for the ESRP domain esrp1:
configure esrp esrp1 timer hello 4

configure esrp timer neighbor

configure esrp timer neighbor

configure esrp <esrpDomain> timer neighbor <seconds>

Description
Configures the ESRP neighbor timeout value.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain seconds Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the number of seconds after which an ESRP neighbor times out. The range is 6 to 1024 seconds.

Default
The default neighbor timeout is 8 seconds (four times the hello timer).

Usage Guidelines
The neighbor timeout specifies the amount of time that ESRP waits before considering the neighbor down. The neighbor value must be at least 3 times the hello timer value. Entering a value outside of that range generates an error message similar to the following:
operation Failed. Valid timer relationship "neighbor timeout >= 3*hello ; neutral timeout >= 2*hello ; premaster timeout >= 3*hello"!

The seconds range is 3*hello to 1024 seconds. To view the neighbor timer settings, use the show esrp {<name>} command. In a large ESRP configuration, the slave ESRP domain might inadvertently become the master ESRP domain. This can occur when FDB entries are flushed during a master-slave transition. To avoid this Extreme Networks recommends the general neighbor and hello timeout guidelines listed in Table 22.

configure esrp timer neutral

configure esrp timer neutral

configure esrp <esrpDomain> timer neutral <seconds>

Description
Configures the ESRP neutral timeout value.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain seconds Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the number of seconds after which an ESRP domain. The range is 4 to 1024 seconds.

Default
The default neutral timeout is 4 seconds (two times the hello timer).

Usage Guidelines
After you create, configure, and enable the ESRP domain, it enters the neutral state. The neutral timeout specifies the amount of time the ESRP domain stays in this temporary state before entering the slave state. The neutral value must be at least 2 times the hello timer value. Entering a value outside of that range generates an error message similar to the following:
operation Failed. Valid timer relationship "neighbor timeout >= 3*hello ; neutral timeout >= 2*hello ; premaster timeout >= 3*hello"!

The seconds range is 2*hello to 1024. To view the neutral timer settings, use the show esrp {<name>} command.

Example

ESRP Commands

configure esrp timer premaster

configure esrp <esrpDomain> timer premaster <seconds>

Description
Configures the ESRP pre-master timeout value.

Syntax Description
esrpDomain seconds Specifies an ESRP domain name. Specifies the maximum length of time, in seconds, that the transitioning master VLAN remains in the pre-master state. The range is 6 to 1024.

Default
The default timeout is 8 seconds (four times the hello timer).

Usage Guidelines
The premaster timer specifies how long the ESRP domain stays in the pre-master state. The pre-master timer expires if the neighbor agrees to be the slave. The premaster value must be at least four times the hello timer value. Entering a value outside of that range generates an error message similar to the following:
operation Failed. Valid timer relationship "neighbor timeout >= 3*hello ; neutral timeout >= 2*hello ; premaster timeout >= 3*hello"!

The seconds range is 3*hello-1024. To view the pre-master timer settings, use the show esrp {<name>} command.

CAUTION
Configure the pre-master state timeout only with guidance from Extreme Networks personnel. Misconfiguration can severely degrade the performance of ESRP and your switch.

Example
The following command configures the pre-master timeout to 10 seconds for the ESRP domain esrp1:

This chapter describes commands for:

Enabling and disabling Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) Performing basic VRRP configuration

Like Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP), VRRP is a protocol that allows multiple switches to provide redundant routing services to users. A virtual router is a group of one or more physical devices that acts as the default gateway for hosts on the network. The virtual router is identified by a virtual router identifier (VRID) and an IP address. All of the VRRP routers that participate in the virtual router are assigned the same VRID. The Extreme Networks implementation of VRRP implementation is compliant with RFC 2338, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol. The following points pertain to VRRP:

VRRP packets are encapsulated IP packets. The VRRP multicast address is 224.0.0.18. The virtual router MAC address is 00 00 5E 00 01 <vrid> An interconnect link between VRRP routers should not be used, except when VRRP routers have hosts directly attached. A maximum of 64 VRID instances are supported on the router. Up to 7 unique VRIDs can be configured on an interface. VRIDs can be re-used, but not on the same interface. VRRP and Spanning Tree can be simultaneously enabled on the same switch. VRRP and ESRP cannot be simultaneously enabled on the same VLAN.

VRRP uses an election algorithm to dynamically assign responsibility for the master router to one of the VRRP routers on the network. A VRRP router is elected master if one of the following is true, the router is:

The IP address owner (router that has the IP address of the virtual router configured as its real interface address). Configured with the highest priority (the range is 1 - 255).

In the event of a tie in priority, the highest primary IP address has precedence. If the master router becomes unavailable, the election process provides dynamic failover and the backup router that has the highest priority assumes the role of master. A new master is elected when one of the following things happen:

VRRP is disabled on the master router. Communication is lost between master and backup router(s). The master router sends periodic advertisements to the backup routers to indicate that it is alive.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1041

VRRP Commands VRRP also supports the following tracking options:

VRRP VLAN tracking VRRP route table tracking VRRP ping tracking

If a tracking option is enabled, and the object being tracked becomes unreachable, the master device will fail over.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

clear counters vrrp

clear counters vrrp

clear counters vrrp {{vlan <vlan_name>} {vrid <vridval>}}

Description
Clears, resets all VRRP statistics and counters.

Syntax Description
vlan_name vridval Specifies the name of a VRRP VLAN. Specifies a VRRP Virtual Router ID (VRID). Value can be in the range of 1255.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to reset the VRRP statistics on the switch. Statistics are not reset when you disable and re-enable VRRP. If you do not enter a parameter, statistics for all VRRP VLANs are cleared. If you specify only VLAN name, statistics for all VRRP VRIDs on that VLAN are cleared. If you specify VLAN name and VRRP VRID, only statistics for that particular VRID are cleared.

Example
The following command clears the VRRP statistics on VRRP VLAN v1:
clear counters vrrp vlan v1

The following command clears the VRRP statistics for VRID 1 on VRRP VLAN v1:
clear counters vrrp vlan v1 vrid 1

VRRP Commands

configure vrrp vlan vrid add ipaddress

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> add <ipaddress>

Description
Associates a virtual IP address with a specific VRRP virtual router.

Syntax Description
vlan_name vridval ipaddress Specifies the name of a VRRP VLAN. Specifies a VRRP Virtual Router ID (VRID). Value can be in the range of 1255. Specifies the IP address of the virtual router in which this device participates.

Usage Guidelines
The restrictions on this command are as follows:

If the priority of the VRRP virtual router is 255, the IP address to be added must be owned by the VLAN on which the VRRP virtual router exists. If the priority is not 255, the IP address must not be owned by that VLAN. When a VRRP virtual router is enabled, it must have at least one virtual IP address.

Example
Create a VLAN named vlan-1 with an ipaddress of 10.1.2.2 and a VRRP VRID of 1:
create vlan vlan-1 configure vlan vlan-1 ipaddress 10.1.2.2 create vrrp vlan-1 vrid 1

If the priority of the VR is 255, the IP address to be added must be owned by the VLAN on which the VR exists. If the priority is not 255, the IP address must not be owned by that VLAN. When a VR is enabled, it must have at least one virtual IP address. When the VR is not enabled, there are no restrictions on deleting the IP address.

Example
The following command removes IP address 10.1.2.3 from VLAN vlan-1:
configure vrrp vlan vlan-1 vrid 1 delete 10.1.2.3

22 IP Unicast Commands
Extreme Networks switches provide full Layer 3, IP unicast routing. They exchange routing information with other routers on the network using either the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. The switches dynamically build and maintain routing tables and determine the best path for each of its routes. Each host that uses the IP unicast routing functionality of the switch must have a unique IP address assigned. In addition, the default gateway assigned to the host must be the IP address of the router interface. The routing software and hardware directs IP traffic between router interfaces. A router interface is simply a VLAN that has an IP address assigned to it. As you create VLANs with IP addresses belonging to different IP subnets, you can also choose to route between the VLANs. The VLAN switching and IP routing functions occur within the switch. Each IP address and mask assigned to a VLAN must represent a unique IP subnet. You cannot configure the same IP subnet on different VLANs. The Extreme Networks switch maintains an IP routing table for network routes and host routes. The table is populated from the following sources:

Dynamically, by way of routing protocol packets or by ICMP redirects exchanged with other routers Statically, by way of routes entered by the administrator

Default routes, configured by the administrator Locally, by way of interface addresses assigned to the system By other static routes, as configured by the administrator

Dynamic routes are typically learned by way of RIP or OSPF. Routers that use RIP or OSPF exchange information in their routing tables in the form of advertisements. Using dynamic routes, the routing table contains only networks that are reachable. Dynamic routes are aged out of the table when an update for the network is not received for a period of time, as determined by the routing protocol. Static routes are manually entered into the routing table. Static routes are used to reach networks not advertised by routers. Static routes can also be used for security reasons, to control which routes you want advertised by the router. Static routes are never aged out of the routing table. A static route must be associated with a valid IP subnet. An IP subnet is associated with a single VLAN by its IP address and subnet mask. If the VLAN is subsequently deleted, the static route entries using that subnet must be deleted manually.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

IP Unicast Commands When there are multiple, conflicting choices of a route to a particular destination, the router picks the route with the longest matching network mask. If these are still equal, the router picks the route using the following criteria (in the order specified):

Directly attached network interfaces ICMP redirects Static routes Directly attached network interfaces that are not active

If you define multiple default routes, the route that has the lowest metric is used. If there are multiple default routes that have the same lowest metric, the system picks one of the routes with the lowest gateway IP addresses. You can also configure blackhole routestraffic to these destinations is silently dropped. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to transmit information needed to control IP traffic. It is used mainly to provide information about routes to destination addresses. ICMP redirect messages inform hosts about more accurate routes to other systems, whereas ICMP unreachable messages indicate problems with a route. Additionally, ICMP can cause TCP connection to terminate gracefully if the route becomes unavailable. After IP unicast routing has been configured, you can configure the switch to forward Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BOOTP requests coming from clients on subnets being serviced by the switch and going to hosts on different subnets. This feature can be used in various applications, including DHCP services between Windows NT servers and clients running Windows 95. Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) was first developed so that ARP-capable devices could respond to ARP Request packets on behalf of ARP-incapable devices. Proxy ARP can also be used to achieve router redundancy and simplify IP client configuration. The Extreme Networks switch supports proxy ARP for this type of network configuration. After IP ARP has been configured, the system responds to ARP Requests on behalf of the device, as long as the following conditions are satisfied:

The valid IP ARP Request is received on a router interface. The target IP address matches the IP address configured in the proxy ARP table. The proxy ARP table entry indicates that the system should always answer this ARP Request, regardless of the ingress VLAN (the always parameter must be applied).

After all the proxy ARP conditions have been met, the switch formulates an ARP Response using the configured MAC address in the packet. In some networks, it is desirable to configure the IP host with a wider subnet than the actual subnet mask of the segment. Proxy ARP can be used so that the router answers ARP Requests for devices outside of the subnet. As a result, the host communicates as if all devices are local. In reality, communication with devices outside of the subnet are proxied by the router.

configure iparp delete proxy

configure iparp delete proxy [[<ipNetmask> | <ip_addr> {<mask>}] {vr <vr_name>} | all]

Description
Deletes one or all proxy ARP entries.

Syntax Description
ipNetmask ip_addr mask all vr_name Specifies an IP address/mask length. Specifies an IP address. Specifies a subnet mask. Specifies all ARP entries. Specifies a VR name.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
Proxy ARP can be used for two purposes: 1 To support host that cannot process ARP traffic. In this case, the switch answers the ARP Request for that host. 2 To hide the IP topology from the host. The network administrator can configure a large network on the host machine (16-bit mask) and a smaller network on each router interface (for example, 22-bit mask). When the host sends ARP Request for another host on another subnet, the switch answers the ARP Request and all subsequent traffic will be sent directly to the router. You can configure up to 64 proxy ARP entries. When the mask is not specified, then software will assume a host address (that is, a 32-bit mask). When the MAC address is not specified, then the software uses the switch's MAC address as the proxy host. Always should be specified for type-1 usage, not always is the default (type-2).

Example
The following command deletes the IP ARP proxy entry 100.101.45.0/24:

configure iparp timeout

configure iparp timeout {vr <vr_name>} <minutes>

Description
Configures the IP ARP timeout period.

Syntax Description
vr_name minutes Specifies which virtual router IP ARP setting to change. Specifies a time in minutes.

Default
20 minutes.

Usage Guidelines
The range is 0-32,767. A setting of 0 disables timeout. When the switch learns an ARP entry, it begins the timeout for that entry. When the timer reaches 0, the entry will be aged out, unless IP ARP refresh is enabled. If ARP refresh is enabled, the switch will ARP for the address before the timer has expired. If the switch receives a response, it will reset the timer for that address.

configure iproute add blackhole default

configure iproute add blackhole {ipv4} default {vr <vrname>} {multicastonly | unicast-only}

Description
Adds a default blackhole route to the routing table. All traffic destined for an unknown IP destination is silently dropped, and no Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message is generated.

Syntax Description
vr_name multicast-only unicast-only Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. Specifies only multicast traffic for the route. Specifies only unicast traffic for the route.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
While a default route is for forwarding traffic destined to an unknown IP destination, and a blackhole route is for discarding traffic destined to a specified IP destination, a default blackhole route is for discarding traffic to the unknown IP destination. Using this command, all traffic with an unknown destination is discarded. The default blackhole route is treated like a permanent entry in the event of a switch reset or power off/on cycle. The default blackhole routes origin is b or blackhole and the gateway IP address for this route is 0.0.0.0.

Example

configure vlan udp-profile

configure vlan udp-profile

configure vlan <vlan_name> udp-profile [<profilename> | none]

Description
Associates a UDP Forwarding profile to a VLAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name profilename none Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies a policy file to use for the UDP forwarding profile. Removes any UDP forwarding profile from the VLAN.

Default
No UDP profiles are associated with the VLAN.

Usage Guidelines
You can apply a UDP forwarding policy only to an L3 VLAN (a Vlan having at least one IP address configured on it). If there is no IP address configured on the VLAN, then the command will be rejected. A UDP forwarding policy must contain only the following attributes. Unrecognized attributes will be ignored.

Match attributes

Destination UDP Port Number (destination-port) Source IP address (source-ipaddress) Destination IP address (destination-ipaddress) VLAN name (vlan)

Action modified (set) attributes

Policy files used for UDP forwarding are processed differently from standard policy files. Instead of terminating when an entrys match clause becomes true, each entry in the policy file will be processed and the corresponding action will be taken for each true match clause. For example, if the following policy file is used as a UDP forwarding profile, any packets destined for UDP port 67 will be sent to IP address 20.0.0.5 AND flooded to VLAN to7:
entry one { if match all { destination-port 67 ; } then { destination-ipaddress 20.0.0.5 ; } }

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1097

IP Unicast Commands
entry two { if match all { destination-port 67 ; } then { vlan "to7" ; } }

If you include more than one VLAN set attribute or more than one destination-ipaddress set attribute in one policy entry, the last one will be accepted and the rest ignored. Therefore, you can have two valid set statements in each entry of a UDP forwarding policy; one a destination-ipaddress and one a VLAN. ExtremeWare XOS currently allows a maximum of eight entries in a UDP forwarding policy, so you can define a maximum of sixteen destinations for one inbound broadcast UDP packet: eight IP address and eight VLANs.

NOTE
It is strongly advised not to have more than eight entries in a UDP forwarding profile. The UDP forwarding module will process those entries even if the entries do not contain any attributes for UDP forwarding. Having more than eight entries will drastically reduce the performance of the system. If the inbound UDP traffic rate is very high, having more than eight entries could cause the system to freeze or become locked.

NOTE
If you rename a VLAN referred to in your UDP forwarding profile, you must manually edit the policy to reflect the new name, and refresh the policy.

You can also validate whether the UDP profile has been successfully associated with the VLAN by using the command show policy {<policy-name> | detail}. UDP forwarding is implemented as part of the netTools process, so the command will display netTools as a user of the policy.

Example
The following command associates the UDP forwarding profile port123_to_corporate to the VLAN tosales:

enable icmp redirects

enable icmp redirects {vlan <name>}

Description
Enables generation of ICMP redirect messages on one or all VLANs.

Syntax Description
name Specifies a VLAN name.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
This option only applies to the switch when the switch is in routing mode. ICMP redirects are used in the situation where there are multiple routers in the same subnets. If a host sends a packet to it's default gateway, the gateway router will look at it's route table to find the best route to the destination. If it sees that the best route is through a router in the same subnet as the originating host, the switch will send an ICMP redirect (type 5) message to the host that originated the packet, telling it to use the other router with the better route. The switch will also forward the packet to the destination.

Example
The following command enables the generation of ICMP redirect messages on all VLANs:

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
This enables the switch to forward IP packets that have the loose source route IP option (0x83) enabled. Source routing is used when a sending host specifies the router interfaces that the packet must traverse on it's way to it's destination. When loose source routing is used, it means that the packet may traverse through other routers that lie in between the designated router path. With loose source routing enabled, the switch will forward IP packets with the loose source route option enabled, if the switch's IP is in the designated list, or is not in the list.

Usage Guidelines
This enables the switch to forward IP packets that have the strict source route IP option (0x89) enabled. Source routing is used when a sending host specifies the router interfaces that the packet must traverse on it's way to it's destination. When strict source routing is used, it means that the packet must use the exact path of routers that lie in the designated router path. With strict source routing enabled, the switch will forward IP packets with the strict source route option enabled, only if the switch's IP is in the designated list and as long as the next hop in the list is directly attached to one of the router's interfaces.

enable iproute sharing

enable iproute sharing

Description
Enables load sharing if multiple routes to the same destination are available. When multiple routes to the same destination are available, load sharing can be enabled to distribute the traffic to multiple destination gateways. Only paths with the same lowest cost is will be shared.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
IP route sharing allows multiple equal-cost routes to be used concurrently. IP route sharing can be used with static routes or with OSPF routes. In OSPF, this capability is referred to as equal cost multipath (ECMP) routing. Configure static routes and/or OSPF as you would normally. ExtremeWare XOS supports route sharing across up to 8 static routes or ECMP routes for OSPF on the BlackDiamond 10K and 4 on the BlackDiamond 8800 family and Summit X450 switches. Route sharing is useful only in instances where you are constrained for bandwidth. This is typically not the case using Extreme switches. Using route sharing makes router troubleshooting more difficult because of the complexity in predicting the path over which the traffic will travel.

23 IPv6 Unicast Commands

The switch provides full Layer 3, IPv6 unicast routing. It exchanges routing information with other routers on the network using either the IPv6 version of Routing Information Protocol (RIPng) or the IPv6 version of Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3) protocol. The switch dynamically builds and maintains a routing table and determines the best path for each of its routes. Beginning in release 11.2, ExtremeWare XOS can provide both IPv4 and IPv6 routing at the same time. Separate routing tables are maintained for the two versions. Most commands that require you to specify an IP address can now accept either an IPv4 or IPv6 address and act accordingly. Additionally, many of the IP configuration, enabling, and display commands have added tokens for IPv4 and IPv6 to clarify the version required. For simplicity, existing commands affect IPv4 by default and require you to specify IPv6, so configurations from an earlier release will still correctly configure an IPv4 network. This chapter contains commands used with IPv6 unicast routing.

clear neighbor-discovery cache

clear neighbor-discovery cache ipv6 {<ipv6address> {vr <vr_name>} | vlan <vlan_name> | vr <vr_name>}

Description
Deletes a dynamic entry from the neighbor cache.

Syntax Description
vr_name ipv6address vlan_name Specifies a virtual router. Specifies an IPv6 address. Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command clears dynamic entries from the neighbor cache. The vr option is used to specify the virtual router on which the operation is performed. When this option is omitted it applies to VRDefault. When the ipv6address or vlan options are specified, only the entries with matching IPv6 addresses or that correspond to that VLAN are cleared.

Example
The following command clears all entries from the neighbor cache:

configure iproute add

configure iproute add

configure iproute add <ipv6Netmask> [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>] {<metric>} {vr <vrname>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}

Description
Adds an IPv6 static route to the routing table.

Syntax Description
ipv6Netmask ipv6Gateway ipv6ScopedGateway metric vrname multicast-only unicast-only Specifies an IPv6 address/prefix length. Specifies a gateway. Specifies a scoped gateway. Specifies a cost metric. Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. Specifies only multicast traffic for the route. Specifies only unicast traffic for the route.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used. If you do not specify a metric, then the default metric of 1 is used.

Usage Guidelines
Use a prefix length of 128 to indicate a host entry.

Example
The following command adds a static route to the routing table:
configure iproute add 2001:db8:0:1111::/64 fe80::1111

IPv6 Unicast Commands

configure iproute add blackhole

configure iproute add blackhole [<ipv6Netmask>] {vr <vrname>} {multicastonly | unicast-only}

Description
Adds a blackhole address to the routing table. All traffic destined for a configured blackhole IP address is silently dropped.

Syntax Description
ipv6Netmask vrname multicast-only unicast-only Specifies an IPv6 address/prefix length. Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. Specifies only multicast traffic for the route. Specifies only unicast traffic for the route.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
A blackhole entry directs packets with a matching specified address prefix to be discarded. Blackhole entries are useful as a security measure or in special circumstances where a specific destination address must be discarded. Blackhole entries are treated like permanent entries in the event of a switch reset or power off/on cycle. Blackhole entries are never aged out of the forwarding database (FDB). The packets are silently discarded. In other words, no ICMP message is sent to indicate that the packets are discarded.

Example
The following command causes packets with a destination address of 2001:db8::3452 to be silently discarded:
configure iproute add blackhole 2001:db8::3452/128

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1. Support for IPv6 was added in ExtremeWare XOS 11.2.

configure iproute add blackhole ipv6 default

configure iproute add blackhole ipv6 default

configure iproute add blackhole ipv6 default {vr <vrname>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}

Description
Adds a default blackhole route to the routing table. All traffic destined for an unknown IP destination is silently dropped.

Syntax Description
vr_name multicast-only unicast-only Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. Specifies only multicast traffic for the route. Specifies only unicast traffic for the route.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
While a default route is for forwarding traffic destined to an unknown IP destination, and a blackhole route is for discarding traffic destined to a specified IP destination, a default blackhole route is for discarding traffic to the unknown IP destination. Using this command, all traffic with an unknown destination is discarded. The default blackhole route is treated like a permanent entry in the event of a switch reset or power off/on cycle. The default blackhole routes origin is b or blackhole and the gateway IP address for this route is ::. The packets are silently discarded. In other words, no ICMP message is sent to indicate that the packets are discarded.

Example
The following command adds a blackhole default route into the routing table:
configure iproute add blackhole default

configure iproute add default [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>] {vr <vrname>} {<metric>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}

Description
Adds a default gateway to the routing table.

Syntax Description
ipv6Gateway metric ipv6ScopedGateway vrname Specifies a VLAN gateway IPv6 address. Specifies a cost metric. If no metric is specified, the default of 1 is used. Specifies a scoped gateway. Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added.

Default
If no metric is specified, the default metric of 1 is used. If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic or static route to the requested destination. A default gateway must be located on a configured IP interface. Use the unicast-only or multicast-only options to specify a particular traffic type. If not specified, both unicast and multicast traffic uses the default route.

Example
The following command configures a default route for the switch:

Description
Deletes a default blackhole route from the routing table.

Syntax Description
vr_name multicast-only unicast-only Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. Specifies only multicast traffic for the route. Specifies only unicast traffic for the route.

Default
If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines
While a default route is for forwarding traffic destined to an unknown IP destination, and a blackhole route is for discarding traffic destined to a specified IP destination, a default blackhole route is for discarding traffic to the unknown IP destination. Using this command, all traffic with an unknown destination is discarded. The default blackhole route is treated like a permanent entry in the event of a switch reset or power off/on cycle. The default blackhole routes origin is b or blackhole and the gateway IP address for this route is ::.

Example
The following command deletes a blackhole default route from the routing table:
configure iproute delete blackhole default

configure iproute delete default

configure iproute delete default [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>] {vr <vrname>} {<metric>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}

Description
Deletes a default gateway from the routing table.

Syntax Description
ipv6Gateway metric ipv6ScopedGateway vrname Specifies a VLAN gateway IPv6 address. Specifies a cost metric. If no metric is specified, the default of 1 is used. Specifies a scoped gateway. Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added.

Usage Guidelines
Policies for IP routing can be configured based on the route origin. When routes are added to the IP routing table from various sources, the routing policies configured for the origin of the route is applied to the route. After matching on specified characteristics, the characteristics for the route can be modified using the policy. The characteristics that can be matched and modified are dependent on the origin of the route. Policies for IP routing can be dynamically changed. In the case of direct and static route origins, the changes are reflected immediately. In the case of routes that are sourced from other origin, the changes are reflected within 30 seconds.

24 RIP Commands
This chapter describes commands used for the interior gateway protocol RIP. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) first used in computer routing in the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPAnet) as early as 1969. It is primarily intended for use in homogeneous networks of moderate size. To determine the best path to a distant network, a router using RIP always selects the path that has the least number of hops. Each router that data must traverse is considered to be one hop. The routing table in a router using RIP contains an entry for every known destination network. Each routing table entry contains the following information:

IP address of the destination network Metric (hop count) to the destination network IP address of the next router Timer that tracks the amount of time since the entry was last updated

The router exchanges an update message with each neighbor every 30 seconds (default value), or if there is a change to the overall routed topology (also called triggered updates). If a router does not receive an update message from its neighbor within the route timeout period (180 seconds by default), the router assumes the connection between it and its neighbor is no longer available. A new version of RIP, called RIP version 2 (RIPv2), expands the functionality of RIP version 1 to include:

Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs) Next-hop addresses Support for next-hop addresses allows for optimization of routes in certain environments Multicasting

If you are using RIP with supernetting/Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), you must use RIPv2 only, and RIP route aggregation must be turned off.

Description
Enables RIP to redistribute routes from other routing functions.

Syntax Description
bgp direct e-bgp I-bgp ospf ospf-intra ospf-inter ospf-extern1 ospf-extern2 static cost <number> tag <number> <policy-name> Specifies BGP routes. Specifies interface routes (only interfaces that have IP forwarding enabled are exported). Specifies E-BGP routes. Specifies I-BGP routes. Specifies all OSPF routes. Specifies OSPF-intra area routes. Specifies OSPF-inter area routes. Specifies OSPF external route type 1. Specifies OSPF external route type 2. Specifies static routes. Specifies the cost metric, from 0-15. If set to 0, RIP uses the route metric obtained from the route origin. Specifies a tag number. Specifies a policy.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
This command enables the exporting of BGP, static, direct, and OSPF-learned routes into the RIP domain. You can choose which types of OSPF routes are injected, or you can simply choose ospf, which will inject all learned OSPF routes regardless of type. The cost metric is inserted for all RIP-learned, static, and direct routes injected into RIP. If the cost metric is set to 0, the cost is inserted from the route. For example, with BGP, the cost could be the MED or the length of the BGP path. The tag value is used only by special routing applications. Use 0 if you do not have specific requirements for using a tag. Each protocol can have a policy associated with it to control or modify the exported routes.

Enables poison reverse algorithm for RIP.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
Like split horizon, poison reverse is a scheme for eliminating the possibility of loops in the routed topology. In this case, a router advertises a route over the same interface that supplied the route, but the route uses a hop count of 16, defining it as unreachable.

Example
The following command enables the split horizon with poison reverse algorithm for RIP:
enable rip poisonreverse

RIP Commands

enable rip triggerupdates

enable rip triggerupdates

Description
Enables the trigger update mechanism. Triggered updates are a mechanism for immediately notifying a routers neighbors when the router adds or deletes routes or changes their metric.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
Triggered updates occur whenever a router changes the metric for a route and it is required to send an update message immediately, even if it is not yet time for a regular update message to be sent. This will generally result in faster convergence, but may also result in more RIP-related traffic.

25 RIPng Commands
This chapter describes commands used for the IPv6 interior gateway protocol RIPng. To determine the best path to a distant network, a router using RIPng always selects the path that has the least number of hops. Each router that data must traverse is considered to be one hop. The routing table in a router using RIPng contains an entry for every known destination network. Each routing table entry contains the following information:

IP address and prefix length of the destination network Metric (hop count) to the destination network IP address of the next hop router, if the destination is not directly connected Interface for the next hop Timer that tracks the amount of time since the entry was last updated A flag that indicates if the entry is a new one since the last update The source of the route, for example, static, RIPng, OSPFv3, etc.

The router exchanges an update message with each neighbor every 30 seconds (default value), or if there is a change to the overall routed topology (also called triggered updates). If a router does not receive an update message from its neighbor within the route timeout period (180 seconds by default), the router assumes the connection between it and its neighbor is no longer available.

RIPng Commands

disable ripng triggerupdate

disable ripng triggerupdate {vlan <vlan-name> | tunnel <tunnel_name> | [vlan | tunnel] all}

enable ripng

Description
Enables RIPng for the whole router.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Usage Guidelines
Although RIPng is useful in small networks, it has a number of limitations that can cause problems in large networks, including:

A limit of 15 hops between the source and destination networks A large amount of bandwidth taken up by periodic broadcasts of the entire routing table Slow convergence Routing decisions based on hop count; no concept of link costs or delay Flat networks; no concept of areas or boundaries

For larger networks, consider OSPFv3 as an alternative IGP.

enable ripng export

enable ripng export [direct | ospfv3 | ospfv3-extern1 | ospfv3-extern2 | ospfv3-inter | ospfv3-intra | static] [cost <number> {tag <number>} | policy <policy-name>]

Description
Enables RIPng to redistribute routes from other routing functions.

Syntax Description
direct ospfv3 ospfv3-intra ospfv3-inter ospfv3-extern1 ospfv3-extern2 static cost <number> tag <number> <policy-name> Specifies interface routes (only interfaces that have IP forwarding enabled are exported). Specifies all OSPFv3 routes. Specifies OSPFv3-intra area routes. Specifies OSPFv3-inter area routes. Specifies OSPFv3 external route type 1. Specifies OSPFv3 external route type 2. Specifies static routes. Specifies the cost metric, from 0-15. If set to 0, RIPng uses the route metric obtained from the route origin. Specifies a tag number. Specifies a policy.

Default
Disabled. However, direct routes will always be advertised for all the interfaces where RIPng is enabled. For those interfaces where RIPng is not enabled, the corresponding direct route could be redistributed if direct route export is enabled through this command. Default tag is 0.

Usage Guidelines
This command enables the exporting of static, direct, and OSPFv3-learned routes from the routing table into the RIPng domain. You can choose which types of OSPFv3 routes are injected, or you can simply choose ospfv3, which will inject all learned OSPFv3 routes regardless of type. The cost metric is inserted for all RIPng-learned, static, and direct routes injected into RIPng. If the cost metric is set to 0, the cost is inserted from the route table. The tag value is used only by special routing applications. Use 0 if you do not have specific requirements for using a tag. Each protocol can have a policy associated with it to control or modify the exported routes.

RIPng Commands

enable ripng originate-default

enable ripng originate-default {always} cost <metric> {tag <number>}

Description
Configures a default route to be advertised by RIPng.

Syntax Description
always cost <metric> tag <number> Specifies to advertise the default route in addition to learned default route. Specifies a cost metric. The range is 1 - 15. Specifies a tag number.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
If always is specified, RIPng always advertises the default route to its neighbors. If always is not specified, RIPng advertises a default route only if a reachable default route is in the system route table (the route is learned from other neighbors). The default route advertisement is filtered using the out policy. Use the command, configure ripng
route-policy, to specify the out policy.

The cost metric is inserted for all RIPng-learned, static, and direct routes injected into RIPng. The tag value is used only by special routing applications.

Example
The following command configures a default route to be advertised by RIPng if there is a default route in the system routing table:
enable ripng originate-default cost 7

enable ripng poisonreverse

enable ripng poisonreverse

enable ripng poisonreverse {vlan <vlan-name> | tunnel <tunnel_name> | [vlan | tunnel] all}

Description
Enables the split horizon with poison reverse algorithm for RIPng on specified interfaces.

Syntax Description
vlan-name tunnel-name all Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN. Specifies an IPv6 tunnel. Specifies all interfaces.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
Used with split horizon, poison reverse is a scheme for eliminating the possibility of loops in the routed topology. In this case, a router advertises a route over the same interface that supplied the route, but the route uses a hop count of 16, defining it as unreachable. If both split horizon and poison reverse are enabled, poison reverse takes precedence.

Example
The following command enables split horizon with poison reverse for RIPng on all IPv6 interfaces in the virtual router:
enable ripng poisonreverse

The following command enables split horizon with poison reverse for all the IPv6 configured VLANs in the virtual router:

Usage Guidelines
Triggered updates occur whenever a router changes the metric for a route and it is required to send an update message immediately, even if it is not yet time for a regular update message to be sent. This will generally result in faster convergence, but may also result in more RIPng-related traffic.

Example
The following command enables the trigger update mechanism on all IPv6 configured interfaces:
enable ripng triggerupdate

26 OSPF Commands
This chapter describes commands used for the interior gateway protocol OSPF. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state protocol that distributes routing information between routers belonging to a single IP domain, also known as an autonomous system (AS). In a link-state routing protocol, each router maintains a database describing the topology of the autonomous system. Each participating router has an identical database maintained from the perspective of that router. From the link-state database (LSDB), each router constructs a tree of shortest paths, using itself as the root. The shortest path tree provides the route to each destination in the autonomous system. When several equal-cost routes to a destination exist, traffic can distributed among them. The cost of a route is described by a single metric. OSPF allows parts of a networks to be grouped together into areas. The topology within an area is hidden from the rest of the autonomous system. Hiding this information enables a significant reduction in link-state advertisement (LSA) traffic, and reduces the computations needed to maintain the LSDB. Routing within the area is determined only by the topology of the area. The three types of routers defined by OSPF are as follows:

Internal Router (IR)An internal router has all of its interfaces within the same area. Area Border Router (ABR)An ABR has interfaces belonging to two or more areas. It is responsible for exchanging summary advertisements with other ABRs. Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR)An ASBR acts as a gateway between OSPF and other routing protocols, or other autonomous systems.

Each switch that is configured to run OSPF must have a unique router ID. It is recommended that you manually set the router ID of the switches participating in OSPF, instead of having the switch automatically choose its router ID based on the highest interface IP address. Not performing this configuration in larger, dynamic environments could result in an older LSDB remaining in use.

NOTE
Do not set the router ID to 0.0.0.0.

Licensing
To use the complete OSPF functionality, you must have a Core license installed on your switch. The BlackDiamond 10K ships with a Core, or Advanced Core license. Other platforms can be upgraded to a Core license. See the section Software Licensing on page 33 for more information about licensing. A subset of OSPF, called OSPF Edge Mode, is available with an Advanced Edge license.

OSPF Edge Mode

OSPF Edge Mode is a subset of OSPF available on platforms with an Advanced Edge license. There are two restrictions on OSPF Edge Mode:

At most, two Active OSPF VLAN interfaces are permitted. There is no restriction on the number of Passive interfaces. The OSPF Priority on VLANs is zero, and is not configurable. This prevents the system from acting as a DR or BDR

configure ospf area nssa stub-default-cost

configure ospf area nssa stub-default-cost

configure ospf area <area-identifier> nssa [summary | nosummary] stubdefault-cost <cost> {translate}

Description
Configures an OSPF area as an NSSA.

Syntax Description
area-identifier summary nosummary cost translate Specifies an OSPF area. Specifies that type-3 can be propagated into the area. Specifies that type-3 cannot be propagated into the area. Specifies a cost metric. Specifies whether type-7 LSAs are translated into type-5 LSAs.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
NSSAs are similar to the existing OSPF stub area configuration option, but have the following two additional capabilities:

External routes originating from an ASBR connected to the NSSA can be advertised within the NSSA. External routes originating from the NSSA can be propagated to other areas, including the backbone area, if translated to type 5 LSAs.

When configuring an OSPF area as an NSSA, the translate option should only be used on NSSA border routers, where translation is to be enforced. If translate is not used on any NSSA border router in a NSSA, one of the ABRs for that NSSA is elected to perform translation (as indicated in the NSSA specification). The option should not be used on NSSA internal routers. Doing so inhibits correct operation of the election algorithm.

Example
The following command configures an OSPF area as an NSSA:
configure ospf area 10.1.1.0 nssa summary stub-default-cost 10 translate

configure ospf area <area-identifier> timer <retransmit-interval> <transitdelay> <hello-interval> <dead-interval> {<wait-timer-interval>}

Description
Configures the timers for all interfaces in the same OSPF area.

Syntax Description
area-identifier retransmit-interval transit-delay hello-interval dead-interval Specifies an OSPF area. Specifies the length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. The range is 1- 3,600 seconds. Specifies the length of time it takes to transmit an LSA packet over the interface. The range is 0 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the interval at which routers send hello packets. The range is 1 65,535 seconds. Specifies the interval after which a neighboring router is declared down due to the fact that hello packets are no longer received from the neighbor. The range is 1 - 2,147,483,647 seconds. Specifies the interval between the interface coming up and the election of the DR and BDR. Usually equal to the dead timer interval.

wait-timer-interval

Default

retransmit intervalDefault: 5 transit delayDefault: 1 hello intervalDefault: 10 dead intervalDefault: 40 wait timer intervalDefault: dead interval

Usage Guidelines
Configuring OSPF timers on a per-area basis is a shorthand for applying the timers and authentication to each VLAN in the area at the time of configuration. If you add more VLANs to the area, you must configure the timers and authentication for the new VLANs explicitly. Specify the following:

retransmit intervalIf you set an interval that is too short, unnecessary retransmissions will result. transit delayThe transit delay must be greater than 0. hello intervalSmaller times allow routers to discover each other more quickly, but also increase network traffic.

1300

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure ospf area timer

dead intervalThis interval should be a multiple of the hello interval. wait timer intervalThis interval is required by the OSPF standard to be equal to the router dead interval. Under some circumstances, setting the wait interval to smaller values can help OSPF routers on a broadcast network to synchronize more quickly at the expense of possibly electing an incorrect DR or BDR. This value should not be set to less than the hello interval. The default value is equal to the router dead interval.

Description
Configures the router as a graceful OSPF restart router.

Syntax Description
none planned unplanned both Do not act as a graceful OSPF restart router. Only act as a graceful OSPF restart router for planned restarts. Only act as a graceful OSPF restart router for unplanned restarts. Act as a graceful OSPF restart router for both planned and unplanned restarts.

Default
The default is none.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the router as a graceful OSPF router. When configured for planned restarts, it will advertise Grace-LSAs before restarting (for example, during an upgrade of the OSPF module). When configured for unplanned restarts, it will advertise Grace-LSAs after restarting but before sending any Hellos. When configured for both, the router will advertise restarting regardless of whether the restart was planned or unplanned.

configure ospf restart-helper

configure ospf [vlan [all | <vlan-name>] | area <area-identifier> | virtual-link <router-identifier> <area-identifier>] restart-helper [none | planned | unplanned | both]

Description
Configures the router as a graceful OSPF restart helper router.

Syntax Description
vlan-name all area-identifier router-identifier none planned unplanned both Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies all VLANs Specifies an OSPF area. Specifies the router ID of the remote router of the virtual link. Do not act as a graceful OSPF restart helper router. Only act as a graceful OSPF restart helper router for planned restarts. Only act as a graceful OSPF restart helper router for unplanned restarts. Act as a graceful OSPF restart helper router for both planned and unplanned restarts.

Default
The router default is none.

Usage Guidelines
This command configures the router as a graceful OSPF restart helper router for a single or multiple routers. When the router is acting as a helper, it will continue to advertise the restarting router as if it was fully adjacent. One OSPF interface may not help more than one restarting router. An OSPF interface may not enter helper mode when the router is performing a graceful restart. All the interfaces to a neighbor router must be configured as graceful restart helpers, or the router will not support graceful restart for its neighbor.

Example
The following command configures a router to be a graceful OSPF helper router for planned restarts for all routers in area 10.20.30.40:

configure ospf routerid

configure ospf routerid [automatic | <router-identifier>]

Description
Configures the OSPF router ID. If automatic is specified, the switch uses the highest IP interface address as the OSPF router ID.

Syntax Description
automatic router-identifier Specifies to use automatic addressing. Specifies a router address.

Default
Automatic.

Usage Guidelines
Each switch that is configured to run OSPF must have a unique router ID. It is recommended that you manually set the router ID of the switches participating in OSPF, instead of having the switch automatically choose its router ID based on the highest interface IP address. Not performing this configuration in larger, dynamic environments could result in an older link-state database remaining in use. NOTE
Do not set the router ID to 0.0.0.0.

Description
Configures the timers for a virtual link.

Syntax Description
router-identifier area-identifier retransmit-interval transit-delay hello-interval dead-interval Specifies the router ID of the other end of the link. Specifies an OSPF area. Specifies the length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. The range is 1 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the length of time it takes to transmit an LSA packet over the interface. The range is 0 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the interval at which routers send hello packets. The range is 1 65,535 seconds. Specifies the interval after which a neighboring router is declared down due to the fact that hello packets are no longer received from the neighbor. The range is 1 - 2,147,483,647 seconds.

Default

retransmit intervalDefault: 5 transit delayDefault: 1 hello intervalDefault: 10 dead intervalDefault: 40 wait timer intervalDefault: dead interval

Usage Guidelines
Configuring OSPF timers on a per-area basis is a shorthand for applying the timers and authentication to each VLAN in the area at the time of configuration. If you add more VLANs to the area, you must configure the timers and authentication for the new VLANs explicitly.

Example
The following command sets the timers on the virtual link in area 0.0.0.2 and remote router ID 6.6.6.6:

configure ospf vlan area

configure ospf vlan <vlan-name> area <area-identifier>

Description
Associates a VLAN (router interface) with an OSPF area. By default, all router interfaces are associated with area 0.0.0.0.

Syntax Description
vlan-name area-identifier Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies an OSPF area.

Default
Area 0.0.0.0

Usage Guidelines
Any OSPF network that contains more than one area is required to have an area configured as area 0, also called the backbone. All areas in an autonomous system must be connected to the backbone. When designing networks, you should start with area 0, and then expand into other areas. The backbone allows summary information to be exchanged between ABRs. Every ABR hears the area summaries from all other ABRs. The ABR then forms a picture of the distance to all networks outside of its area by examining the collected advertisements, and adding in the backbone distance to each advertising router. When a VLAN is configured to run OSPF, by default you must assign it to an area.

Example
The following command associates the VLAN accounting with an OSPF area:
configure ospf vlan accounting area 0.0.0.6

Usage Guidelines
Specify the following:

retransmit intervalIf you set an interval that is too short, unnecessary retransmissions will result. transit delayThe transit delay must be greater than 0. hello intervalSmaller times allow routers to discover each other more quickly, but also increase network traffic. dead intervalThis interval should be a multiple of the hello interval. wait timer intervalThis interval is required by the OSPF standard to be equal to the router dead interval. Under some circumstances, setting the wait interval to smaller values can help OSPF routers on a broadcast network to synchronize more quickly at the expense of possibly electing an incorrect DR or BDR. This value should not be set to less than the hello interval. The default value is equal to the router dead interval.

disable ospf capability opaque-lsa

Description
Disables opaque LSAs across the entire system.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
Opaque LSAs are a generic OSPF mechanism used to carry auxiliary information in the OSPF database. Opaque LSAs are most commonly used to support OSPF traffic engineering. Normally, support for opaque LSAs is auto-negotiated between OSPF neighbors. In the event that you experience interoperability problems, you can disable opaque LSAs. If your network uses opaque LSAs, all routers on your OSPF network should support opaque LSAs. Routers that do not support opaque LSAs do not store or flood them. At minimum a wellinterconnected subsection of your OSPF network needs to support opaque LSAs to maintain reliability of their transmission. On an OSPF broadcast network, the designated router (DR) must support opaque LSAs or none of the other routers on that broadcast network will reliably receive them. You can use the OSPF priority feature to give preference to an opaque-capable router, so that it becomes the elected DR. For transmission to continue reliably across the network, the backup designated router (BDR) must also support opaque LSAs.

Description
Enables redistribution of routes to OSPF.

Syntax Description
bgp i-bgp direct e-bgp rip static cost ase-type-1 ase-type-2 number policy-map Specifies BGP routes. Specifies I-BGP routes. Specifies direct routes. Specifies E-BGP routes. Specifies RIP routes. Specifies static routes. Specifies a cost metric. Specifies AS-external type 1 routes. Specifies AS-external type 2 routes. Specifies a tag value. Specifies a policy.

Default
The default tag number is 0. The default setting is disabled.

Usage Guidelines
After OSPF export is enabled, the OSPF router is considered to be an ASBR. Interface routes that correspond to the interface that has OSPF enabled are ignored. The cost metric is inserted for all BGP, RIP-learned, static, and direct routes injected into OSPF. If the cost metric is set to 0, the cost is inserted from the route. The tag value is used only by special routing applications. Use 0 if you do not have specific requirements for using a tag. The tag value in this instance has no relationship with 802.1Q VLAN tagging. The same cost, type, and tag values can be inserted for all the export routes, or a policy can be used for selective insertion. When a policy is associated with the export command, the policy is applied on every exported route. The exported routes can also be filtered using a policy.

Example
The following command enables OSPF to export BGP-related routes using LSAs to other OSPF routers:
enable ospf export bgp cost 1 ase-type-1 tag 0

27 OSPFv3 Commands
This chapter describes commands used for the IPv6 interior gateway protocol OSPFv3. Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3) is a link-state protocol that distributes routing information between routers belonging to a single IP domain, also known as an autonomous system (AS). In a link-state routing protocol, each router maintains a database describing the topology of the autonomous system. Each participating router in an area has an identical database maintained from the perspective of that router. OSPFv3 supports IPv6, and uses commands only slightly modified from that used to support IPv4. OSPFv3 has retained the use of the four-byte, dotted decimal numbers for router IDs, LSA IDs, and area IDs. From the link-state database (LSDB), each router constructs a tree of shortest paths, using itself as the root. The shortest path tree provides the route to each destination in the autonomous system. When several equal-cost routes to a destination exist, traffic can distributed among them. The cost of a route is described by a single metric. OSPFv3 allows parts of a networks to be grouped together into areas. The topology within an area is hidden from the rest of the autonomous system. Hiding this information enables a significant reduction in link-state advertisement (LSA) traffic, and reduces the computations needed to maintain the LSDB. Routing within the area is determined only by the topology of the area. The three types of routers defined by OSPFv3 are as follows:

Internal Router (IR)An internal router has all of its interfaces within the same area. Area Border Router (ABR)An ABR has interfaces belonging to two or more areas. It is responsible for exchanging summary advertisements with other OSPFv3 routers. Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR)An ASBR acts as a gateway between OSPFv3 and other routing protocols, or other autonomous systems.

Each switch that is configured to run OSPFv3 must have a unique router ID. It is recommended especially that you manually set the router ID of the switches participating in OSPFv3, instead of having the switch automatically choose its router ID based on the highest interface IPv4 address, since your router may not have an IPv4 address. Not performing this configuration in larger, dynamic environments could result in an older LSDB remaining in use.

NOTE
Do not set the router ID to 0.0.0.0.

Licensing
To use OSPFv3, you must have a Core license installed on your switch. The BlackDiamond 10K ships with a Core, or Advanced Core license. Other platforms can be upgraded to a Core license. See the section Software Licensing on page 33 for more information about licensing.

Description
Enables OSPFv3 on an interface.

Syntax Description
domainName vlan-name tunnel-name instanceId area-identifier auto broadcast point-to-point passive Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN. Specifies an IPv6 tunnel. Specifies the instance ID for this interfaces. Range is 0 to 255. Specifies the area to which the VLAN is assigned. Specifies to automatically determine the OSPFv3 link type based on the interface type. Specifies a broadcast link, such as Ethernet. Routers must elect a DR and a BDR during synchronization. Specifies a point-to-point link type, such as PPP. Specifies to stop sending and receiving hello packets on this interface.

Default
The default link-type is Auto. The default instance ID is 0.

Usage Guidelines
This command is used to enable the OSPFv3 protocol on an IPv6 configured VLAN or an IPv6 tunnel. The instance ID is used to control the selection of other routers as neighbors. The router will become a neighbor only with routers that have the same instance ID. An interface can have only one instance ID associated with it in one OSPFv3 domain. However, the same interface can be associated with another OSPFv3 domain with a different instance ID. An interface associated with two OSPFv3 domains cannot have same instance ID. To change the instance ID associated with an interface, you must first remove the interface from the OSPFv3 area and then add it back with a different instance ID. The passive parameter indicates that the router only synchronizes and listens, and does not originate or send any new information on the interface. Enable IPv6 forwarding before enabling OSPFv3, otherwise, you will receive a warning message.

configure ospfv3 area external-filter

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} area <area-identifier> externalfilter [<policy-map> |none]

Description
Configures an external filter policy.

Syntax Description
domainName area-identifier policy-map none Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies the OSPFv3 target area. Specifies a policy. Specifies not to apply an external filter (removes the existing policy, if any).

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
For switches configured to support multiple OSPFv3 areas (an ABR function), a policy can be applied to an OSPFv3 area that filters a set of OSPFv3 external routes from being advertised into that area, in other words, filtering some of the inbound AS-external-LSAs. OPSFv3 routers that do not have enough memory to hold the entire AS-external-LSAa should configure an external area filter to drop part of the external-LSAs. Configuring this policy will enable routers with limited resources to be put into an OSPFv3 network. Using the none mode specifies that no external filter is applied. Policy files for this command will only recognize the following policy attributes:

Match attributes

nlri <IPv6-address>/<mask-len> permit deny

Action (set) attributes

Any other policy attribute will not be recognized and will be ignored. The following is an example of an external area policy file:

configure ospfv3 area priority

configure ospfv3 area priority

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} area <area-identifier> priority <priority>

Description
Configures the priority used in the designated router and backup designated router election algorithm for all the interfaces within the area.

Syntax Description
domainName area-identifier priority Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies an OSPFv3 area, a four-byte, dotted decimal number. Specifies a priority range. The range is 0 through 255.

Default
The default setting is 1.

Usage Guidelines
When two routers are attached to a network, both attempt to become the designated router. The one with the higher priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. Setting the value to 0 ensures that the router is never selected as the designated router or backup designated router.

Example
The following command sets all the interfaces in area 1.2.3.4 to not be selected as the designated router:

configure ospfv3 area timer

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} area <area-identifier> timer {retransmit-interval} <retransmit-interval> {transit-delay} <transit-delay> {hello-interval} <hello-interval> {dead-interval} <dead-interval>

Description
Configures the timers for all interfaces in the same OSPFv3 area.

Syntax Description
domainName area-identifier retransmit-interval transit-delay hello-interval dead-interval Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies an OSPFv3 area, a four-byte, dotted decimal number. Specifies the length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. The range is 1- 3,600 seconds. Specifies the length of time it takes to transmit an LSA packet over the interface. The range is 0 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the interval at which routers send hello packets. The range is 1 65,535 seconds. Specifies the interval after which a neighboring router is declared down due to the fact that hello packets are no longer received from the neighbor. The range is 1 - 2,147,483,647 seconds.

Default

retransmit intervalDefault: 5 seconds transit delayDefault: 1 second hello intervalDefault: 10 seconds dead intervalDefault: 40 seconds

Usage Guidelines
Configuring OSPFv3 timers on a per-area basis is a shorthand for applying the timers to each VLAN and tunnel in the area at the time of configuration. If you add more VLANs or tunnels to the area, you must configure the timers for them explicitly. Specify the following:

retransmit intervalIf you set an interval that is too short, unnecessary retransmissions will result. transit delayThe transit delay must be greater than 0. hello intervalSmaller times allow routers to discover each other more quickly, but also increase network traffic. dead intervalThis interval should be a multiple of the hello interval.

The value of the dead interval and the hello interval must be same for all OSPFv3 routers connected to a common link. The value of the dead interval and the hello interval are advertised by OSPFv3 in Hello

OSPFv3 Commands packets. The shorter the hello interval, the earlier topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue. The retransmit interval must be greater than the expected round trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The setting of this parameter must be conservative, or needless retransmission will result.

NOTE
The wait interval for the interface is not separately configurable. It is always equal to the dead interval.

Example
The following command sets the timers in area 0.0.0.2:

configure ospfv3 interface priority

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} [vlan <vlan-name> | tunnel <tunnelname> | [vlan | tunnel] all] priority <priority>

Description
Configures the priority used in the designated router and backup designated router election algorithm for one or all OSPFv3 interface(s).

Syntax Description
domainName vlan-name tunnel-name all priority Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies an IPv6 configured VLAN. Specifies an IPv6 tunnel. Specifies all IPv6 configured VLANs or all IPv6 tunnels. Specifies a priority range. The range is 0 through 255.

Default
The default setting is 1.

Usage Guidelines
When two routers are attached to a network, both attempt to become the designated router. The one with the higher priority takes precedence. If there is a tie, the router with the higher router ID takes precedence. Setting the value to 0 ensures that the router is never selected as the designated router or backup designated router.

configure ospfv3 routerid

configure ospfv3 routerid

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} routerid [automatic | <routeridentifier>]

Description
Configures the OSPFv3 router ID. If automatic is specified, the switch uses the highest IPv4 interface address as the OSPFv3 router ID.

Syntax Description
domainName automatic router-identifier Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies to use automatic addressing. Specifies a router identifier, a four-byte, dotted decimal number.

Default
Automatic.

Usage Guidelines
Each switch that is configured to run OSPFv3 must have a unique router ID. The router ID is a fourbyte, dotted decimal number, like an IPv4 address. Even though the IP address format has changed from IPv4 to IPv6, the router ID format has not. It is recommended that you manually set the router ID of the switches participating in OSPFv3, instead of having the switch automatically choose its router ID based on the highest interface IPv4 address (if it exists). Not performing this configuration in larger, dynamic environments could result in an older link-state database remaining in use. This command is accepted only when OSPFv3 is globally disabled.

NOTE
Do not set the router ID to 0.0.0.0.

Example
The following command sets the router ID to 10.1.6.1:
configure ospfv3 routerid 10.1.6.1

configure ospfv3 spf-hold-time

configure ospfv3 {domain <domainName>} spf-hold-time <seconds>

Description
Configures the minimum number of seconds between Shortest Path First (SPF) recalculations.

Syntax Description
domainName seconds Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies a time in seconds. The range is 0 to 300 seconds.

Default
3 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Setting the interval too high will force OSPFv3 to run SPF calculations less frequently. This will reduce the CPU load, but will cause delay in routes getting updated in the IP routing table. Setting the interval too low will decreases the interval between SPF calculations, but will increase the processing load on CPU.

Example
The following command configures the minimum number of seconds between Shortest Path First (SPF) recalculations:

Syntax Description
domainName router-identifier area-identifier retransmit-interval transit-delay hello-interval dead-interval Specifies an OSPFv3 domain. OSPF-Default is the only one currently supported. Specifies the router ID of the other end of the link. Specifies an OSPFv3 area, a four-byte, dotted decimal number. Specifies the length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. The range is 1 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the length of time it takes to transmit an LSA packet over the interface. The range is 0 - 3,600 seconds. Specifies the interval at which routers send hello packets. The range is 1 65,535 seconds. Specifies the interval after which a neighboring router is declared down due to the fact that hello packets are no longer received from the neighbor. The range is 1 - 2,147,483,647 seconds.

Default

retransmit intervalDefault: 5 seconds transit delayDefault: 1 second hello intervalDefault: 10 seconds dead intervalDefault: 40 seconds

Usage Guidelines
In OSPFv3, all areas must be connected to a backbone area. If the connection to the backbone is lost, it can be repaired by establishing a virtual link. The smaller the hello interval, the faster topological changes will be detected, but more routing traffic will ensue. The setting of the retransmit interval should be conservative, or needless retransmissions will result. The value should be larger for serial lines and virtual links. The transmit delay value should take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.

28 BGP Commands
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an exterior routing protocol that was developed for use in TCP/IP networks. The primary function of BGP is to allow different autonomous systems (ASs) to exchange network reachability information. An autonomous system is a set of routers that are under a single technical administration. This set of routers uses a different routing protocol (such as OSPF) for intra-AS routing. One or more routers in the AS are configured to be border routers, exchanging information with other border routers (in different autonomous systems) on behalf of all of the intra-AS routers. BGP can be used as an exterior gateway protocol (EBGP), or it can be used within an AS as an interior gateway protocol (IBGP).

Licensing
BGP requires a Core license, at a minimum. The BGP process will not spawn without the required license level. The MSM-1XL is shipped with an Advanced Core license and the MSM-1 is shipped with a Core license. Other platforms can be upgraded to a Core license. See the section Software Licensing in chapter 1, ExtremeWare XOS Overview, in the ExtremeWare XOS 11.2 Concepts Guide for more information about licensing.

BGP Attributes
The following BGP attributes are supported by the switch:

OriginDefines the origin of the route. Possible values are IGP, EGP, and incomplete. AS_PathThe list of ASs that are traversed for this route. Next_hopThe IP address of the next hop BGP router to reach the destination listed in the NLRI field. Multi_Exist_DiscriminatorUsed to select a particular border router in another AS when multiple border routers exist. Local_PreferenceUsed to advertise this routers degree of preference to other routers within the AS. Atomic_aggregateIndicates that the sending border router is used a route aggregate prefix in the route update. AggregatorIdentifies the BGP router AS number and IP address that performed route aggregation. CommunityIdentifies a group of destinations that share one or more common attributes. Cluster_IDSpecifies a 4 byte field used by a route reflector to recognize updates from other route reflectors in the same cluster. A route can contain a sequence of CLUSTER_ID values representing the reflection path that the route has passed. Originator_IDSpecifies the Router_ID of the originator of the route in the local AS.

configure bgp add aggregate-address {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast]} <ipaddress> {as-match | as-set} {summary-only} {advertise-policy <policy>} {attribute-policy <policy>}

Description
Configures a BGP aggregate route.

Syntax Description
address-family ipaddress as-match as-set summary-only advertise-policy attribute-policy The address family. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast. Specifies an IP network address and mask length. Generates autonomous system sequence path information (order of AS numbers in AS_PATH is preserved). Generates autonomous system set path information (order of AS numbers in AS_PATH is not preserved). Specifies to send only aggregated routes to the neighbors. Specifies the policy used to select routes for this aggregated route. Specifies the policy used to set the attributes of the aggregated route.

Default
If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
Route aggregation is the process of combining the characteristics of several routes so that they are advertised as a single route. Aggregation reduces the amount of information that a BGP speaker must store and exchange with other BGP speakers. Reducing the information that is stored and exchanged also reduces the size of the routing table. To use BGP route aggregation, follow these steps: 1 Enable aggregation using the following command:
enable bgp aggregation

2 Create an aggregate route using the following commands:

configure bgp add aggregate-address {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4multicast]} <ipaddress> {as-match | as-set} {summary-only} {advertise-policy <policy>} {attribute-policy <policy>}

configure bgp add confederation-peer sub-AS-number

configure bgp add confederation-peer sub-AS-number

configure bgp add confederation-peer sub-AS-number <number>

Description
Adds a sub-AS to a confederation.

Syntax Description
number Specifies a sub-AS number of the confederation. The range is 1 to 65535.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Invoke this command multiple times to add multiple sub-ASs. IBGP requires networks to use a fully-meshed router configuration. This requirement does not scale well, especially when BGP is used as an interior gateway protocol. One way to reduce the size of a fully-meshed AS is to divide the AS into multiple sub-autonomous systems and group them into a routing confederation. Within the confederation, all BGP speakers in each sub-AS must be fully-meshed. The confederation is advertised to other networks as a single AS.

Example
The following command adds one sub-AS to a confederation:
configure bgp add confederation-peer sub-AS-number 65002

configure bgp add network

configure bgp add network {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast]} <ipaddr>/<mask_len> {network-policy <policy>}

Description
Adds a network to be originated from this router.

Syntax Description
address-family ipaddr mask_len policy-name The address family to which the network routes will be exported. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast. Specifies an IP network address. Specifies a netmask length. Name of policy to be associated with network export. Policy can filter and/or change the route parameters.

Default
If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
The network must be present in the routing table. Using the export command to redistribute routes complements the redistribution of routes using the configure bgp add network command. The configure bgp add network command adds the route to BGP only if the route is present in the routing table. The enable bgp export command redistributes an individual route from the routing table to BGP. If you use both commands to redistribute routes, the routes redistributed using the network command take precedence over routes redistributed using the export command.

Example
The following command adds a network to be originated from this router:
configure bgp add network 192.1.1.16/32

configure bgp neighbor peer-group

configure bgp neighbor [all | <remoteaddr>] peer-group [<peer-group-name> | none] {acquire-all}

Description
Configures an existing neighbor as the member of a peer group.

Syntax Description
all remoteaddr peer-group-name none acquire-all Specifies all neighbors. Specifies an IP address of a BGP neighbor. Specifies a peer group name. Removes the neighbor from the peer group. Specifies that all parameters should be inherited by the neighbor from the peer group.

Default
By default, remote AS (if configured for the peer group), source-interface, outbound route policy, sendcommunity and next-hop-self settings are inherited.

Usage Guidelines
If acquire-all is not specified, only the default parameters are inherited by the neighbor. When you remove a neighbor from a peer group, it retains the parameter settings of the group. The parameter values are not reset to those the neighbor had before it inherited the peer group values. To create a new neighbor and add it to a BGP peer group, use the following command:
create bgp neighbor <remoteaddr> peer-group <peer-group-name> {multi-hop}

The new neighbor is created as part of the peer group and inherits all of the existing parameters of the peer group. The peer group must have remote AS configured.

Example
The following command configures an existing neighbor as the member of the peer group outer:
configure bgp neighbor 192.1.1.22 peer-group outer

configure bgp neighbor route-policy

configure bgp neighbor [<remoteaddr> | all] {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast]} route-policy [in | out] [none | <policy>]

Description
Configures a route map filter for a neighbor.

Syntax Description
remoteaddr all address-family in out none policy Specifies an IP address. Specifies all neighbors. The address family. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast Specifies to install the filter on the input side. Specifies to install the filter on the output side. Specifies to remove the filter. Specifies a policy.

Default
If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
The policy can be installed on the input or output side of the router. The policy is used to modify or filter the NLRI information and the path attributes associated with it when exchanging updates with the neighbor.

Example
The following command configures the route-policy filter for a neighbor based on the policy nosales:
configure bgp neighbor 192.168.1.22 route-policy in nosales

configure bgp neighbor route-reflector-client

configure bgp neighbor route-reflector-client

configure bgp neighbor [<remoteaddr> | all] [route-reflector-client | noroute-reflector-client]

Description
Configures a BGP neighbor to be a route reflector client.

Syntax Description
remoteaddr all route-reflector-client no-route-reflector-client Specifies an IP address of a BGP neighbor. Specifies all neighbors. Specifies for the BGP neighbor to be a route reflector client. Specifies for the BGP neighbor not to be a route reflector client.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Another way to overcome the difficulties of creating a fully-meshed AS is to use route reflectors. Route reflectors allow a single router to serve as a central routing point for the AS or sub-AS. Use this command to implicitly define the router to be a route reflector. The neighbor must be in the same AS as the router. When changing the route reflector status of a peer, the peer will automatically be disabled and reenabled and a warning message will appear on the console and in the log. A cluster is formed by the route reflector and its client routers. Peer routers that are not part of the cluster must be fully meshed according to the rules of BGP.

Example
The following command configures a BGP neighbor to be a route reflector client:
configure bgp neighbor 192.168.1.5 route-reflector-client

configure bgp neighbor soft-reset

configure bgp neighbor [<remoteaddr> | all] {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4-multicast]} soft-reset {in | out}

Description
Applies the current input or output routing policy to the routing information already exchanged with the neighbor.

Syntax Description
remoteaddr all address-family in out Specifies an IP address of a BGP neighbor. Specifies all neighbors. The address family. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast Specifies to apply the input routing policy. Specifies to apply the output routing policy.

Default
If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
The input/output policy is determined by the route policy configured for the neighbor on the input and/or output side of the router. This command does not affect the switch configuration. If both the local BGP neighbor and the neighbor router support the route refresh capability (ExtremeWare does not support this feature), a dynamic soft input reset can be performed. The softreset input command will trigger the generation of a route refresh message to be sent to the neighbor. As a response to the Route-Refresh message, the neighbor will send the entire BGP routing table in updates. If the Route-Refresh capability is not supported by the neighbor (like ExtremeWare), then the user must preconfigure soft-input-reset. If soft-input-reset is configured, BGP will store all the incoming routes updates from the neighbor. When the user issues the soft-input-reset command, the locally stored incoming routes will be reprocessed against the new policy, and will be installed in the BGP route database.

Example
The following command applies the current input routing policy to the routing information already exchanged with the neighbor:

The maximum hold down time is the maximum time a route can be suppressed, no matter how unstable it has been, as long as it no longer flaps. The range is 1-255 minutes, and the default is 4 * the half life. Instead of explicitly configuring the dampening parameters using the command line, you can associate a policy using the policy-filter option. Multiple sets of parameters can be supplied using a policy.

disable bgp export

disable bgp export [direct | ospf | ospf-extern1 | ospf-extern2 | ospfinter | ospf-intra | rip | static] {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4multicast]}

Description
Disables BGP from exporting routes from other protocols to BGP peers.

Syntax Description
direct ospf ospf-extern1 ospf-extern2 ospf-inter ospf-intra rip static address-family Specifies direct routing. Specifies OSPF routing. Specifies OSPF-extern1 routing. Specifies OSPF-extern2 routing. Specifies OSPF-inter routing. Specifies OSPF-intra routing. Specifies RIP routing. Specifies static routing. The address family to which the IGP routes will be exported. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast.

Default
Disabled. If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
The exporting of routes between any two routing protocols is a discreet configuration function. For example, you must configure the switch to export routes from OSPF to BGP and, if desired, you must configure the switch to export routes from BGP to OSPF. You must first configure both protocols and then verify the independent operation of each. Then you can configure the routes to export from OSPF to BGP, and the routes to export from BGP to OSPF. Similarly for BGP and ISIS, or BGP and RIP. You can use policies to associate BGP attributes including Community, NextHop, MED, Origin, and Local Preference with the routes. Policies can also be used to filter out exported routes. Using the export command to redistribute routes complements the redistribution of routes using the configure bgp add network command. The configure bgp add network command adds the route to BGP only if the route is present in the routing table. The enable bgp export command redistributes an individual route from the routing table to BGP. If you use both commands to redistribute routes, the routes redistributed using the network command take precedence over routes redistributed using the export command.

BGP Commands

disable bgp neighbor remove-private-AS-numbers

disable bgp neighbor [<remoteaddr> | all] remove-private-AS-numbers

Description
Disables the removal of private AS numbers from the AS path in route updates sent to EBGP peers.

Syntax Description
remoteaddr all Specifies an IP address. Specifies all neighbors.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Private AS numbers are AS numbers in the range 64512 through 65534. You can remove private AS numbers from the AS path attribute in updates that are sent to external BGP (EBGP) neighbors. Possible reasons for using private AS numbers include:

The remote AS does not have officially allocated AS numbers. You want to conserve AS numbers if you are multi-homed to the local AS.

Private AS numbers should not be advertised on the Internet. Private AS numbers can only be used locally within an administrative domain. Therefore, when routes are advertised out to the Internet, the private AS number can be stripped out from the AS paths of the advertised routes using this feature.

Example
The following command disables the removal of private AS numbers from the AS path in route updates sent to the EBGP peers:
disable bgp neighbor 192.168.1.17 remove-private-AS-numbers

History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 10.1. This command required an Advanced Core license in ExtremeWare XOS 11.1.

enable bgp aggregation

enable bgp aggregation

enable bgp aggregation

Description
Enables BGP route aggregation.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
Route aggregation is the process of combining the characteristics of several routes so that they are advertised as a single route. Aggregation reduces the amount of information that a BGP speaker must store and exchange with other BGP speakers. Reducing the information that is stored and exchanged also reduces the size of the routing table. To use BGP route aggregation, follow these steps: 1 Enable aggregation using the following command:
enable bgp aggregation

2 Create an aggregate route using the following command:

configure bgp add aggregate-address {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4multicast]} <ipaddress> {as-match | as-set} {summary-only} {advertise-policy <policy>} {attribute-policy <policy>}

Example
The following command enables BGP route aggregation:

enable bgp always-compare-med

enable bgp always-compare-med

Description
Enables BGP to use the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) from neighbors in different autonomous systems (ASs) in the route selection algorithm.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
Disabled.

Usage Guidelines
MED is only used when comparing paths from the same AS, unless always-compare-med is enabled. When this command is issued, MEDs from different AS are used in comparing paths. A MED value of zero is treated as the lowest MED and therefore the most preferred route.

Example
The following command enables BGP to use the Multi Exit Discriminator (MED) from neighbors in different autonomous systems in the route selection algorithm:
enable bgp always-compare-med

enable bgp export

enable bgp export [direct | ospf | ospf-extern1 | ospf-extern2 | ospf-inter | ospf-intra | rip | static] {address-family [ipv4-unicast | ipv4multicast]} {export-policy <policy-name>}

Description
Enables BGP to export routes from other protocols to BGP peers.

Syntax Description
direct ospf ospf-extern1 ospf-extern2 ospf-inter ospf-intra rip static address-family policy-name Specifies direct routing. Specifies OSPF routing. Specifies OSPF-extern1 routing. Specifies OSPF-extern2 routing. Specifies OSPF-inter routing. Specifies OSPF-intra routing. Specifies RIP routing. Specifies static routing. The address family to which the IGP routes will be exported. BGP supports two address families: IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Multicast. Name of policy to be associated with network export. Policy can filter and/or change the route parameters.

Default
Disabled. If no address family is specified, IPv4 unicast is the default.

Usage Guidelines
The exporting of routes between any two routing protocols is a discreet configuration function. For example, you must configure the switch to export routes from OSPF to BGP and, if desired, you must configure the switch to export routes from BGP to OSPF. You must first configure both protocols and then verify the independent operation of each. Then, you can configure the routes to export from OSPF to BGP, and the routes to export from BGP to OSPF. Similarly for BGP and ISIS, or BGP and RIP. You can use a policy to associate BGP attributes including Community, NextHop, MED, Origin, and Local Preference with the routes. A policy can also be used to filter out exported routes. Using the export command to redistribute routes complements the redistribution of routes using the configure bgp add network command. The configure bgp add network command adds the route to BGP only if the route is present in the routing table. The enable bgp export command redistributes an individual route from the routing table to BGP. If you use both commands to redistribute routes, the routes redistributed using the network command take precedence over routes redistributed using the export command.

29 IP Multicast Commands
IP multicast routing is a function that allows a single IP host to send a packet to a group of IP hosts. This group of hosts can include devices that reside on or outside the local network, or within or across a routing domain. IP multicast routing consists of the following functions:

A router that can forward IP multicast packets A router-to-router multicast protocol [for example, Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) or Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)] A method for the IP host to communicate its multicast group membership to a router [for example, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)] NOTE

You must configure IP unicast routing before you configure IP multicast routing.

IGMP is a protocol used by an IP host to register its IP multicast group membership with a router. Periodically, the router queries the multicast group to see if the group is still in use. If the group is still active, a single IP host responds to the query, and group registration is maintained. IGMPv2 is enabled by default on the switch, and beginning in 11.2, ExtremeWare XOS also supports IGMPv3. However, the switch can be configured to disable the generation of period IGMP query packets. IGMP should be enabled when the switch is configured to perform IP unicast or IP multicast routing. Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a multicast routing protocol with no inherent route exchange mechanism. The switch supports dense mode and sparse mode operation. You can configure dense mode or sparse mode on a per-interface basis. After they are enabled, some interfaces can run dense mode, while others run sparse mode.

PIM Dense Mode

Protocol Independent Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is a multicast routing protocol that is similar to DVMRP. PIM-DM routers perform reverse path forwarding (RPF). However, instead of exchanging its own unicast route tables for the RPF lookup, PIM-DM uses the existing unicast route table for the RPF check. As a result, PIM-DM requires less system memory. PIM-DM is a broadcast and prune protocol. Using PIM-DM, multicast routes are pruned and grafted in a similar way as DVMRP.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1525

IP Multicast Commands

PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)

Unlike PIM-DM, PIM-SM is an explicit join and prune protocol, and it supports shared trees as well as shortest path trees (SPTs). The routers must explicitly join the group(s) in which they are interested in becoming a member, which is beneficial for large networks that have group members who are sparsely distributed. Using PIM-SM, the router sends a join message to the rendezvous point (RP). The RP is a central multicast router that is responsible for receiving and distributing multicast packets. By default, the RP is selected dynamically (but not automatically). You can also define a static RP in your network, using the following command:
configure pim crp static <ip_address>

When a router has a multicast packet to distribute, it encapsulates the packet in a unicast message and sends it to the RP. The RP decapsulates the multicast packet and distributes it among all member routers. When a router determines that the multicast rate from a particular group has exceeded a configured threshold, that router can send an explicit join to the originating router. When this occurs, the receiving router gets the multicast directly from the sending router, and bypasses the RP.

NOTE
You can run either PIM-DM or PIM-SM per VLAN.

PIM Mode Interoperation

An Extreme Networks switch can function as a PIM multicast border router (PMBR). A PMBR integrates PIM-SM and PIM-DM traffic. When forwarding PIM-DM traffic into a PIM-SM network, the PMBR notifies the RP that the PIM-DM network exists. The PMBR forwards PIM-DM multicast packets to the RP, which in turn forwards the packets to those routers that have joined the multicast group in the PIM-SM domain. The PMBR also forwards PIM-SM traffic to a PIM-DM network. The PMBR sends a join message to the RP and the PMBR floods traffic from the RP into the PIM-DM network. No commands are needed to enable PMBR mode interoperation. PMBR mode translation is automatically enabled when a dense mode interface and a sparse mode interface are enabled on the same switch.

configure igmp snooping flood-list

configure igmp snooping flood-list [<policy> | none]

Description
Configures certain multicast addresses to be slow path flooded within the VLAN.

Syntax Description
policy none Specifies a policy file with a list of multicast addresses to be handled. Specifies no policy file is to be used.

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
With this command, a user can configure certain multicast addresses to be slow path flooded within the VLAN, which otherwise will be fast path forwarded according to IGMP and/or layer 3 multicast protocol. A policy file is a text file with the extension, .pol. It can be created or edited with any text editor. The specified policy file <policy file> should contain a list of addresses which will determine if certain multicast streams are to be treated specially. Typically, if the switch receives a stream with a destination address which is in the <policy file> in 'permit' mode, that stream will be software flooded and no hardware entry would be installed. When adding an IP address into the policy file, a 32-bit host address is recommended. This feature is meant to solve the multicast connectivity problem for unknown destination addresses within system reserved ranges. Specifically this feature was introduced to solve the problem of recognizing certain stream as control packets. To create a policy file for the snooping flood-list, use the following template:
# # This is a template for IGMP Snooping Flood-list Policy File # Add your group addresses between "Start" and "End" # Do not touch rest of file!!!! entry igmpFlood { if match any { #------------------ Start of group addresses -----------------nlri 234.1.1.1/32; nlri 239.1.1.1/32; #------------------- end of group addresses ------------------} then { permit; }

1532

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

configure igmp snooping flood-list

} entry catch_all { if { } then { deny; } }

NOTE
The switch will not validate any IP address in the policy file used in this command. Therefore, slow-path flooding should be used only for streams which are very infrequent, such as control packets. It should not be used for multicast data packets. This option overrides any default mechanism of hardware forwarding (with respect to IGMP, PIM, or DVMRP) so it should be used with caution.

Slow path flooding will be done within the L2 VLAN only. Use the none option to effectively disable slow path flooding. You can use the show igmp command to see the configuration of slow path flooding.

Example
The following command configures the multicast data stream specified in access1 for slow path flooding:
configure igmp snooping flood-list access1

The following command specifies that no policy file is to be used, this effectively disabling slow path flooding:
configure igmp snooping flood-list none

configure igmp snooping leave-timeout

configure igmp snooping leave-timeout <leave_timeout_ms>

Description
Configures the IGMP snooping leave timeout.

Syntax Description
leave_timeout_ms Specifies an IGMP leave timeout value in milliseconds.

Default
1000 ms.

Usage Guidelines
The range is 0 - 10000 ms (10 seconds). For timeout values of one second or less, you must set the leavetimeout to a multiple of 100 ms. For values of more than one second, you must set the leave-timeout to a multiple of 1000 ms (one second). The specified time is the maximum leave timeout value. The switch could leave sooner if an IGMP leave message is received before the timeout occurs.

Description
Configures the IGMP snooping timers.

Syntax Description
router_timeout host_timeout Specifies the time in seconds before removing a router snooping entry. Specifies the time in seconds before removing a hosts group snooping entry.

Default
The router timeout default setting is 260 seconds. The host timeout setting is 260 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Timers should be set to approximately 2.5 times the router query interval in use on the network. Specify the following:

router timeoutThe maximum time, in seconds, that a router snooping entry can remain in the IGMP snooping table without receiving a router report. If a report is not received, the entry is deleted. The range is 10 to 214,748,364 seconds (6.8 years). The default setting is 260 seconds. host timeoutThe maximum time, in seconds, that a group snooping entry can remain in the IGMP snooping table without receiving a group report. If a report is not received, the entry is deleted. The range is 10 to 214,748,364 seconds (6.8 years). The default setting is 260 seconds.

IGMP snooping expects at least one device on every VLAN to periodically generate IGMP query messages. Without an IGMP querier, the switch eventually stops forwarding IP multicast packets to any port, because the IGMP snooping entries will time out, based on the value specified in host_timeout or router_timeout.

Example
The following command configures the IGMP snooping timers:
configure igmp snooping timer 600 600

configure igmp snooping vlan ports add static group

configure igmp snooping {vlan} <vlanname> ports <portlist> add static group <ip address>

Description
Configures VLAN ports to receive the traffic from a multicast group, even if no IGMP joins have been received on the port.

Syntax Description
vlanname portlist Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. On a modular switch, it can be a list of slots and ports. On a stand-alone switch, it can be one or more port numbers. In the form 1, 2, 3-5, 2:5, 2:6-2:8. Specifies the multicast group IP address.

ip address

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to forward a particular multicast group to VLAN ports. In effect, this command emulates a host on the port that has joined the multicast group. As long as the port is configured with the static entry, multicast traffic for that multicast group will be forwarded to that port. This command is for IGMPv2 only. The switch sends proxy IGMP messages in place of those generated by a real host. The proxy messages use the VLAN IP address for source address of the messages. If the VLAN has no IP address assigned, the proxy IGMP message will use 0.0.0.0 as the source IP address. The multicast group should be in the class-D multicast address space, but should not be in the multicast control subnet range (224.0.0.x/24). If the ports also have an IGMP filter configured, the filter entries take precedence. IGMP filters are configured using the command:
configure igmp snooping vlan <vlan name> ports <portlist> filter <policy file>

Example
The following command configures a static IGMP entry so the multicast group 224.34.15.37 will be forwarded to VLAN marketing on ports 2:1-2:4:

configure pim crp static <ip_address> [none | <policy>] {<priority> [0254]}

Description
Configures a rendezvous point and its associated groups statically, for PIM sparse mode operation.

Syntax Description
ip_address none policy priority Specifies a static CRP address. Deletes the static rendezvous point. Specifies a policy file name. Specifies a priority setting. The range is 0 - 254.

Default
The default setting for priority is 0, which indicates highest priority.

Usage Guidelines
In PIM-SM, the router sends a join message to the rendezvous point (RP). The RP is a central multicast router that is responsible for receiving and distributing multicast packets. If you use a static RP, all switches in your network must be configured with the same RP address for the same group (range). The policy file contains a list of multicast group addresses served by this RP. This policy file is not used for filtering purposes. As used with this command, the policy file is just a container for a list of addresses. So a typical policy file used for RP configuration will look a little different from a policy used for other purposes. If routers have different group to RP mappings, due to misconfiguration of the static RP (or any other reason), traffic will be disrupted.

Example
The following command statically configures an RP and its associated groups defined in policy file rplist:
configure pim crp static 10.0.3.1 rp-list

The following is a sample policy file:

entry extreme1 { if match any then { nlri nlri nlri nlri { } 224.0.0.0/4 ; 239.255.0.0/24 ; 232.0.0.0/8 ; 238.1.0.0/16 ;

configure pim crp timer

configure pim crp timer <crp_adv_interval>

Description
Configures the candidate rendezvous point advertising interval in PIM sparse mode operation.

Syntax Description
crp_adv_interval Specifies a candidate rendezvous point advertising interval in seconds. The range is 1 to 1,717,986,918.

Default
The default is 60 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Increasing this time will result in increased convergence time for CRP information to the PIM routers.

configure pim crp vlan

configure pim crp vlan <vlan_name> [none | <policy>] {<priority>}

Description
Configures the dynamic candidate rendezvous (CRP) point for PIM sparse-mode operation.

Syntax Description
vlan_name none policy priority Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies no policy file. Specifies a policy file name. Specifies a priority setting. The range is 0 - 254.

Default
The default setting for priority is 0 and indicates the highest priority.

Usage Guidelines
The policy file contains the list of multicast group addresses serviced by this RP. This set of group addresses are advertised as candidate RPs. Each router then elects the common RP for a group address based on a common algorithm. This group to RP mapping should be consistent on all routers. This policy file is not used for filtering purposes. As used with this command, the policy file is just a container for a list of addresses. So a typical policy file used for RP configuration will look a little different from a policy used for other purposes. The following is a sample policy file which will configure the CRP for the address ranges 239.0.0.0/24 and 232.144.27.0/24:
entry extreme1 { if match any { } then { nlri 239.0.0.0/24 ; nlri 232.144.27.0 ; } }

The VLAN specified for a CRP must have PIM configured. To delete a CRP, use the keyword none as the access policy.

Example
The following command configures the candidate rendezvous point for PIM sparse-mode operation on the VLAN HQ_10_0_3 with the policy rp-list and priority set to 30:
configure pim crp HQ_10_0_3 rp-list 30

configure pim register-rate-limit-interval

configure pim register-rate-limit-interval <interval>

Description
Configures the initial PIM-SM periodic register rate.

Syntax Description
interval Specifies an interval time in seconds. Range is 0 - 60. Default is 0.

Default
Default is 0.

Usage Guidelines
Configuring a non-zero interval time can reduce the CPU load on the first hop switch, in case register stop messages are not received normally. When a non-zero value is configured, the first hop switch sends a few register messages and then waits for a corresponding register stop from RP for <time> seconds. The process is repeated until the register stop is received. This command should be used when the (S,G) tree between the first hop router and the RP is not converging quickly. The default value is zero in default mode, the switch sends continuous register messages until the register stop is received.

Example
The following command configures the initial PIM register rate limit interval:
configure pim register-rate-limit-interval 2

configure pim register-suppress-interval register-probeinterval

Description
Configures an interval for periodically sending null-registers.

Syntax Description
reg-interval probe-interval Specifies an interval time in seconds. Range is 30 - 200 seconds. Default is 60. Specifies an interval time in seconds. Default is 5.

Default
The following defaults apply:

register-suppress-interval60 register-probe-interval5

Usage Guidelines
The register-probe-interval time should be set less than the register-suppress-interval time. By default, a null register is sent every 55 seconds (register-suppress-interval - register-probe-interval). A response to the null register is expected within register probe interval. By specifying a larger interval, a CPU peak load can be avoided because the null-registers are generated less frequently. The register probe time should be less than half of the register suppress time, for best results.

Example
The following command configures the register suppress interval and register probe time:
configure pim register-suppress-interval 90 register-probe time 10

Configures a trusted neighbor policy.

Syntax Description
vlan_name all policy none Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies all VLANs. Specifies an policy file name. Specifies no policy file, so all gateways are trusted.

Default
No policy file, so all gateways are trusted.

Usage Guidelines
Because PIM leverages the unicast routing capability that is already present in the switch, the access policy capabilities are, by nature, different. When the PIM protocol is used for routing IP multicast traffic, the switch can be configured to use an policy file to determine trusted PIM router neighbors for the VLAN on the switch running PIM. This is a security feature for the PIM interface.

disable igmp
disable igmp {vlan <name>}

Description
Disables IGMP on a router interface. If no VLAN is specified, IGMP is disabled on all router interfaces.

Syntax Description
name Specifies a VLAN name.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
IGMP is a protocol used by an IP host to register its IP multicast group membership with a router. Periodically, the router queries the multicast group to see if the group is still in use. If the group is still active, hosts respond to the query, and group registration is maintained. IGMP is enabled by default on the switch. However, the switch can be configured to disable the generation and processing of IGMP packets. IGMP should be enabled when the switch is configured to perform IP unicast or IP multicast routing. This command disables IGMPv2 and IGMPv3.

Example
The following command disables IGMP on VLAN accounting:

disable igmp snooping

disable igmp snooping {forward-mcrouter-only | with-proxy | vlan <name>}

Description
Disables IGMP snooping.

Syntax Description
forward-mcrouter-only with-proxy name Specifies that the switch forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router only.

Disables the IGMP snooping proxy.

Specifies a VLAN.

Default
IGMP snooping and the with-proxy option are enabled by default, but forward-mcrouter-only option is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines
If a VLAN is specified, IGMP snooping is disabled only on that VLAN, otherwise IGMP snooping is disabled on all VLANs. This command applies to both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3. If the switch is in the forward-mcrouter-only mode, then the command disable igmp snooping forward-mcrouter-only changes the mode so that all multicast traffic is forwarded to any IP router. If not in the forward-mcrouter-mode, the command disable igmp snooping forward-mcrouter-only has no effect. To change the snooping mode you must disable IP multicast forwarding. Use the command:
disable ipmcforwarding

The with-proxy option can be used for troubleshooting purpose. It should be enabled for normal network operation. Enabling the proxy allows the switch to suppress the duplicate join requests on a group to forward to the connected Layer 3 switch. The proxy also suppresses unnecessary IGMP leave messages so that they are forwarded only when the last member leaves the group.

Example
The following command disables IGMP snooping on the VLAN accounting:

enable igmp snooping

enable igmp snooping

enable igmp snooping {forward-mcrouter-only | vlan <name>}

Description
Enables IGMP snooping on the switch.

Syntax Description
forward-mcrouter-only name Specifies that the switch forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router only. Specifies a VLAN.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
IGMP snooping is a layer 2 function of the switch. It does not require multicast routing to be enabled. The feature reduces the flooding of IP multicast traffic. On the VLAN, IGMP snooping optimizes the usage of network bandwidth and prevents multicast traffic from being flooded to parts of the network that do not need it. The switch does not reduce any IP multicast traffic in the local multicast domain (224.0.0.x). IGMP snooping is enabled by default on the switch. If you are using multicast routing, IGMP snooping can be enabled or disabled. If IGMP snooping is disabled, all IGMP and IP multicast traffic floods within a given VLAN. If a VLAN is specified, IGMP snooping is enabled only on that VLAN, otherwise IGMP snooping is enabled on all VLANs. This command applies to both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3. An optional optimization for IGMP snooping is the strict recognition of routers only if the remote devices are running a multicast protocol. Two IGMP snooping modes are supported:

The forward-mcrouter-only mode forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router (that is, the router running PIM or DVMRP). When not in the forward-mcrouter-only mode, the switch forwards all multicast traffic to any IP router (multicast or not), and any active member port to the local network that has one or more subscribers. NOTE

The forward-mcrouter-only mode for IGMP snooping is enabled/disabled on a switch-wide basis, not on a per-VLAN basis. In other words, all the interfaces enabled for IGMP snooping are either in the forward-mcrouter-only mode or in the non-forward-mcrouter-only mode, and not a mixture of the two modes.

30 IPv6 Multicast Commands

IPv6 multicast routing is a function that allows a single IPv6 host to send a packet to a group of IPv6 hosts. This group of hosts can include devices that reside on or outside the local network, or within or across a routing domain. IPv6 multicast routing consists of the following functions:

A router that can forward IPv6 multicast packets A router-to-router multicast protocol [for example, Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)] A method for the IPv6 host to communicate its multicast group membership to a router [for example, Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)] NOTE

You must configure IPv6 unicast routing before you configure IPv6 multicast routing.

MLD is a protocol used by an IPv6 host to register its IP multicast group membership with a router. Periodically, the router queries the multicast group to see if the group is still in use. If the group is still active, a single IP host responds to the query, and group registration is maintained. MLDv1 is currently supported on the switch.

NOTE
In the current release of ExtremeWare XOS (11.3), IPv6 multicast packets are flooded to VLANs that receive the traffic.

configure mld snooping vlan ports add static group

configure mld snooping {vlan} <vlanname> ports <portlist> add static group <v6grpipaddress>

Description
Configures VLAN ports to receive the traffic from a multicast group, even if no MLD joins have been received on the port.

Syntax Description
vlanname portlist Specifies a VLAN name. Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. On a modular switch, it can be a list of slots and ports. On a stand-alone switch, it can be one or more port numbers. In the form 1, 2, 3-5, 2:5, 2:6-2:8. Specifies the multicast group IPv6 address.

v6grpipaddress

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to forward a particular multicast group to VLAN ports. In effect, this command emulates a host on the port that has joined the multicast group. As long as the port is configured with the static entry, multicast traffic for that multicast group will be forwarded to that port. The switch sends proxy MLD messages in place of those generated by a real host. The proxy messages use the VLAN IPv6 address for source address of the messages. If the VLAN has no IPv6 address assigned, the proxy MLD message will use 0::0 as the source IP address.

NOTE
In the current implementation, multicast traffic is flooded to the VLAN.

Example
The following command configures a static MLD entry so the multicast group ff02::1:1 will be forwarded to VLAN marketing on ports 2:1-2:4:

configure mld snooping flood-list

configure mld snooping flood-list

configure mld snooping flood-list [<policy> | none]

Description
Configures certain multicast addresses to be slow path flooded within the VLAN.

Syntax Description
policy none Specifies a policy file with a list of multicast addresses to be handled. Specifies no policy file is to be used.

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
With this command, a user can configure certain multicast addresses to be slow path flooded within the VLAN, which otherwise will be fast path forwarded according to MLD and/or layer 3 multicast protocol. A policy file is a text file with the extension, .pol. It can be created or edited with any text editor. The specified policy file <policy file> should contain a list of addresses which will determine if certain multicast streams are to be treated specially. Typically, if the switch receives a stream with a destination address which is in the <policy file> in 'permit' mode, that stream will be software flooded and no hardware entry would be installed. When adding an IPv6 address into the policy file, a 128-bit host address is recommended. This feature is meant to solve the multicast connectivity problem for unknown destination addresses within system reserved ranges. Specifically this feature was introduced to solve the problem of recognizing certain stream as control packets. To create a policy file for the snooping flood-list, use the following template:
# # This is a template for MLD Snooping Flood-list Policy File # Add your group addresses between "Start" and "End" # Do not touch rest of file!!!! entry mldFlood { if match any { #------------------ Start of group addresses -----------------nlri ff05::100:1/128; nlri ff05::100:15/128; #------------------- end of group addresses ------------------} then { permit; }

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1593

IPv6 Multicast Commands

} entry catch_all { if { } then { deny; } }

NOTE
The switch will not validate any IP address in the policy file used in this command. Therefore, slow-path flooding should be used only for streams which are very infrequent, such as control packets. It should not be used for multicast data packets. This option overrides any default mechanism of hardware forwarding (with respect to MLD or PIM) so it should be used with caution.

Slow path flooding will be done within the L2 VLAN only. Use the none option to effectively disable slow path flooding. You can use the show mld command to see the configuration of slow path flooding.

NOTE
This command has no effect in the current release (11.3), since IPv6 multicast traffic floods on all platforms.

Example
The following command configures the multicast data stream specified in access1 for slow path flooding:
configure mld snooping flood-list access1

The following command specifies that no policy file is to be used, this effectively disabling slow path flooding:

Description
Configures the MLD snooping leave timeout.

Syntax Description
leave_timeout_ms Specifies an MLD leave timeout value in milliseconds, upon receiving an MLD done message.

Default
1000 ms.

Usage Guidelines
The range is 0 - 10000 ms (10 seconds). For timeout values of one second or less, you must set the leavetimeout to a multiple of 100 ms. For values of more than one second, you must set the leave-timeout to a multiple of 1000 ms (one second). The specified time is the maximum leave timeout value. The switch could leave sooner if an MLD done message is received before the timeout occurs.

Description
Configures the MLD snooping timers.

Syntax Description
router_timeout host_timeout Specifies the time in seconds before removing a router snooping entry. Specifies the time in seconds before removing a hosts group snooping entry.

Default
The router timeout default setting is 260 seconds. The host timeout setting is 260 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
Timers should be set to approximately 2.5 times the router query interval in use on the network. Specify the following:

router timeoutThe maximum time, in seconds, that a router snooping entry can stay without receiving a router report.. The range is 10 to 214,748,364 seconds (6.8 years). The default setting is 260 seconds. host timeoutThe maximum time, in seconds, that a group snooping entry can stay without receiving a group report. The range is 10 to 214,748,364 seconds (6.8 years). The default setting is 260 seconds.

MLD snooping is a layer 2 function of the switch. It does not require multicast routing to be enabled. The feature reduces the flooding of IPv6 multicast traffic. On the VLAN, MLD snooping optimizes the usage of network bandwidth and prevents multicast traffic from being flooded to parts of the network that do not need it. The switch does not reduce any IP multicast traffic in the local multicast domain (FF02::x). MLD snooping is enabled by default on the switch. MLD snooping expects at least one device on every VLAN to periodically generate MLD query messages. Without an MLD querier, the switch eventually stops forwarding IPv6 multicast packets to any port, because the MLD snooping entries will time out, based on the value specified in host timeout. Example The following command configures the MLD snooping timers:
configure mld snooping timer 600 600

Description
Disables MLD snooping.

Syntax Description
forward-mcrouter-only with-proxy name Specifies that the switch forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router only.

Disables the MLD snooping proxy.

Specifies a VLAN.

Default
MLD snooping and the with-proxy option are enabled by default, but forward-mcrouter-only option is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines
If a VLAN is specified, MLD snooping is disabled only on that VLAN, otherwise MLD snooping is disabled on all VLANs. If the switch is in the forward-mcrouter-only mode, then the command disable mld snooping forward-mcrouter-only changes the mode so that all multicast traffic is forwarded to any IP router. If not in the forward-mcrouter-mode, the command disable mld snooping forward-mcrouter-only has no effect. The with-proxy option can be used for troubleshooting purpose. It should be enabled for normal network operation. Enabling the proxy allows the switch to suppress the duplicate join requests on a group to forward to the connected Layer 3 switch. The proxy also suppresses unnecessary MLD done messages so that they are forwarded only when the last member leaves the group.

Description
Enables MLD snooping on the switch.

Syntax Description
forward-mcrouter-only name Specifies that the switch forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router only. Specifies a VLAN.

Default
Enabled.

Usage Guidelines
If a VLAN is specified, MLD snooping is enabled only on that VLAN, otherwise MLD snooping is enabled on all VLANs. A VLAN must have an IPv6 address to support MLD. Two MLD snooping modes are supported:

The forward-mcrouter-only mode forwards all multicast traffic to the multicast router (that is, the router running PIM). When not in the forward-mcrouter-only mode, the switch forwards all multicast traffic to any IP router (multicast or not), and any active member port to the local network that has one or more subscribers. NOTE

The forward-mcrouter-only mode for MLD snooping is enabled/disabled on a switch-wide basis, not on a per-VLAN basis. In other words, all the interfaces enabled for MLD snooping are either in the forward-mcrouter-only mode or in the non-forward-mcrouter-only mode, and not a mixture of the two modes.

To change the MLD snooping mode from the non-forward-mcrouter-only mode to the forwardmcrouter-only mode, use the commands: enable mld snooping forward-mcrouter-only

To change the MLD snooping mode from the forward-mcrouter-only mode to the non-forwardmcrouter-only mode, use the commands: disable mld snooping forward-mcrouter-only

Configuration and Image Commands

This appendix describes commands for:

Downloading and using a new switch software image Saving, uploading, and downloading switch configuration information Downloading and installing a new BootROM image and switch rebooting

The switch software image contains the executable code that runs on the switch. An image comes preinstalled from the factory. The image can be upgraded by downloading a new version from a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on the network. If you have a modular switch, you can also download a new version from the external compact flash memory card installed in the external compact flash slot of the Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM). A switch can store up to two images; a primary and a secondary image. You can download a new image into either one of these, and you can select which image will load on the next switch reboot. The configuration is the customized set of parameters that you have selected to run on the switch. As you make configuration changes, the new settings are stored in run-time memory. To retain the settings, and have them load when you reboot the switch, you must save the configuration to nonvolatile storage. The switch can store multiple user-defined configuration files, each with its own file name. By default, the switch has two pre-named configurations: a primary and a secondary configuration. You can select to which configuration you want the changes saved, or you can save the changes to a new configuration file. You can also select which configuration will be used on the next switch reboot. The BootROM initializes certain important switch variables during the switch boot process. In specific situations, you can upgrade the BootROM on the Summit X450 switch and the BlackDiamond 10K switch by download from a TFTP server on the network. On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen), you can upgrade the firmware, including the BootROM, when you upgrade the software image.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1613

Configuration and Image Commands

configure firmware
configure firmware [auto-install | install-on-demand]

Description
Configures how the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches perform a system firmware upgrade.

Syntax Description
auto-install Specifies ExtremeWare XOS to automatically upgrade the firmware if the software detects a newer firmware image is available. The switch does not prompt you to confirm the firmware upgrade. Specifies the switch to prompt you to upgrade the firmware when ExtremeWare XOS determines that a newer firmware image is available. This is the default behavior.

install-on-demand

Default
The default is install-on-demand.

Usage Guidelines
Use the configure firmware [auto-install | install-on-demand] and install firmware {force} commands to upgrade the BootROM images on the MSM and I/O modules and the firmware on the PSU controllers installed in the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches. If you use the install firmware {force} command, specify the force parameter only under guidance from Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. Forcing a firmware upgrade may cause incompatibility issues between the firmware and the software installed on the MSM. Firmware images are bundled with ExtremeWare XOS software images. ExtremeWare XOS automatically compares the existing firmware image flashed into the hardware with the firmware image bundled with the ExtremeWare XOS image when you:

Download a new version of ExtremeWare XOS to the active partition. Install a new module into an active chassis.

After a firmware image upgrade, messages are sent to the log. If you select the auto-install parameter, you are not prompted to confirm the firmware upgrade. Whenever ExtremeWare XOS determines a newer firmware image is available, the firmware is automatically upgraded. If you use the default configuration install-on-demand, you have the opportunity to cancel the firmware upgrade. If you install a new software image, and a new firmware image is available, the switch prompts you to upgrade the firmware. Enter y to upgrade the firmware image. Enter n to cancel the firmware upgrade for the specified hardware and continue scanning for other hardware that needs to be upgraded.

1614

For more information about installing the external compact flash memory card into the MSM, see the Extreme Networks Consolidated XOS Hardware Installation Guide.

Downloading a New Image

The following provides detailed information for downloading a new image to your switch. Step 1Viewing the Partition. To view your selected and booted partition, use the following command:
show switch

Output from this command includes the selected and booted images and if they are in the primary or the secondary partition. Step 2Selecting the Partition. There are two ways to specify the partition. To specify the partition when downloading and installing the image, use the following command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard <filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}

Or to specify the partition before downloading the image, use the following command:
use image {partition} <partition> {msm <slotid>}

Step 3Downloading and Installing the Image. To download the image, use the following command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard <filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}

1622

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

download image Downloading an ExtremeWare XOS core image. An ExtremeWare XOS core image uses the file extension .xos. Before the download begins, the system asks if you want to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you install the image to the active partition, you must reboot the switch. If you install the image to the inactive partition, you do not need to reboot the switch. Enter y to install the image after download. Enter n to install the image at a later time. If you download and install the software image on the active partition, the switch automatically reboots after the download and installation is completed. The following message appears when downloading and installing on the active partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you want to continue? (y or n)

Enter y to continue the installation and reboot the switch. Enter n to cancel. If you install the image at a later time, the image is still downloaded and saved to the switch, but you must use the following command to install the software:
install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}

Where fname specifies the filename of the new, downloaded image. Downloading an ExtremeWare XOS module image. An ExtremeWare XOS module image has functionality that supplements a core image. You download and install a module onto an already installed core image. The version number of the core image and the module must match. For example, the module bd10K-11.0.0.25-ssh.xmod can only be installed onto the core image bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos. To install a module to the inactive partition, use the download image command to download the module to the inactive partition, and use the install image command to install it, if you did not choose to install when the image was downloaded. Remember, the core image on the inactive partition must be of the same version as the module. When you make the inactive partition active, by issuing the use image command and rebooting the switch, the module is also activated at boot time. To install a module to the active partition, use the download image command to download the module to the active partition, and use the install image command to install it, if you did not choose to install when the image was downloaded. Remember, the core image on the active partition must be of the same version as the module. If you reboot the switch, the module will also be activated, but you can activate the module without rebooting the switch by issuing the run update command. After issuing that command, all the functionality, and command line interface (CLI) commands, of the module will be available. Performing a Hitless UpgradeBlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. Hitless upgrade is a mechanism that allows you to upgrade the ExtremeWare XOS software running on the switch without taking the switch out of service. Some additional benefits of using hitless upgrade include:

Minimizing network downtime Reducing the amount of traffic lost

Although any method of upgrading software can have an impact on network operation, including interrupting Layer 2 network operation, performing a hitless upgrade can decrease that impact. You must have two MSMs installed in your switch to perform a hitless upgrade. With two MSMs installed in the switch, one assumes the role of primary and the other assumes the role of backup. The primary MSM provides all of the switch management functions including bringing up and programming the I/O modules, running the bridging and routing protocols, and configuring the switch.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1623

Configuration and Image Commands The primary MSM also synchronizes its configurations with the backup MSM which allows the backup to take over the management functions of the primary.

NOTE
If you download an image to the backup MSM, the image passes through the primary MSM before the image is downloaded to the backup MSM.

1 View your selected and booted partition using the following command:
show switch

Output from this command includes the selected and booted images and if they are in the primary or the secondary partition. The selected image partition indicates which image is used at the next reboot. The booted image partition indicates the image used at the last reboot. 2 Select the partition to download the image to and download and install the new ExtremeWare XOS software on the backup MSM using the following command:
download image [[<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard <filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>}

NOTE
If the backup MSM is installed in slot B, specify msm B. If the backup MSM is installed in slot A, specify msm A.

Before the download begins, the switch prompts you to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you install the image immediately after download, the switch reboots.

If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you need to reboot the switch. The following message appears when downloading and installing on the active partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you want to continue? (y or n)

Enter y to continue the installation and reboot the switch. Enter n to cancel.

If you download and install the software image on the non-active partition, you do not need to reboot the switch. If you install the image at a later time, use the following command to install the software:

install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}

3 Initiate failover from the primary MSM to the backup MSM using the following command:
run msm-failover

When you failover from the primary MSM to the backup MSM, the backup becomes the new primary, runs the newly downloaded software, and provides all of the switch management functions. 4 Select the partition to download the image to and download and install the new ExtremeWare XOS software on the new backup MSM (this was the original primary MSM) using the following command:
download image [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {vr <vrname>} msm <slotid>

NOTE
If the new backup MSM is installed in slot A, specify msm A. If the new backup MSM is installed in slot B, specify msm B.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

download image Before the download begins, the switch prompts you to install the image immediately after the download is finished. If you install the image immediately after download, the switch reboots.

If you download and install the software image on the active partition, you need to reboot the switch. The following message appears when downloading and installing on the active partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you want to continue? (y or n)

Enter y to continue the installation and reboot the switch. Enter n to cancel.

If you download and install the software image on the non-active partition, you do not need to reboot the switch. If you install the image at a later time, use the following command to install the software:
install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot}

You can also perform a hitless upgrade on ExtremeWare XOS modular software packages (.xmod files). To perform a hitless upgrade of a software package, you must install the core software image first, and the version number of the modular software package must match the version number of the core image that it will be running with. For more information about hitless upgrade, please see the ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide.

Example
The following command downloads the switch software image from the TFTP server at 10.10.15.04, from the file named bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos:
download image 10.10.15.04 bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos

Although the example command specifies a BlackDiamond 10K image, the output is similar on all modular switches. On a modular switch, if you download an image into the active partition, you see output similar to the following:
Do you want to install image after downloading? (y - yes, n - no, <cr> - cancel) Yes Downloading to MSM-A..............................................................

Usage Guidelines
Use the configure firmware [auto-install | install-on-demand] and install firmware commands to upgrade the BootROM images on the MSM and I/O modules and the firmware on the PSU controllers installed in the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches. Specify the force parameter only under guidance from Extreme Networks Technical Support personnel. Forcing a firmware upgrade may cause incompatibility issues between the firmware and the software installed on the MSM. Firmware images are bundled with ExtremeWare XOS software images. ExtremeWare XOS automatically compares the existing firmware image flashed into the hardware with the firmware image bundled with the ExtremeWare XOS image. After a firmware image upgrade, messages are sent to the log. The switch scans the I/O and MSM modules and the PSU controllers for a possible firmware upgrade. If the bundled firmware image is newer than the existing firmware image, the switch prompts you to confirm the upgrade. Enter y to upgrade the firmware. Enter n to cancel the firmware upgrade for the specified hardware and continue scanning for other hardware that needs to be upgraded. Enter <cr> to cancel the upgrade. The following output displays the messages displayed when you use the install firmware command:
Installing version 1.0.0.16 of the MSM bootrom(s), a reboot is required. Do you want to continue? (y - yes, n - no, <cr> - cancel) Yes Installing version 1.0.0.24 of the IO module bootrom(s), a reboot is required. Do you want to continue? (y - yes, n - no, <cr> - cancel) Yes

During the firmware upgrade, do not cycle down or disrupt the power to the switch. If a power interruption occurs, the firmware may be corrupted and need to be recovered. ExtremeWare XOS automatically recovers corrupted firmware; however, the time it takes for the switch to boot-up may increase. Power over Ethernet (PoE) firmware is always automatically upgraded or downgraded to match the operational code image. This configuration is not applicable to PoE firmware. Displaying BootROM and Firmware Versions. To display the BootROM (firmware) version for all modules and PSU controllers installed in the switch, use the show version command. Recovering From a Corrupted BootROM. If your default BootROM image becomes corrupted, you can force the MSM to book from an alternate BootROM image by inserting a pen into the Alternate (A) and Reset (R) holes on the BlackDiamond 8800 MSM and applying pressure. For more information, please refer to the Extreme Networks Consolidated XOS Hardware Installation Guide.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1631

Configuration and Image Commands Installing an ExtremeWare XOS core image. If you install the software image on the active partition, you must reboot the switch. A message similar to the following appears when installing the image on the active partition:
Image will be installed to the active partition, a reboot required. Do you want to continue ? (y/n)

Enter y to continue the installation and reboot the switch. Enter n to cancel. If you install on the inactive partition, you can continue to run the currently booted image, but to run the newly installed image, you will need to set the boot partition with the use image {partition} <partition> {msm <slotid>} command and reboot the switch. Installing an ExtremeWare XOS module image. An ExtremeWare XOS module image has functionality that supplements a core image. You will install a module onto an already installed core image. The version number of the core image and the module must match. For example, the module bd10K-11.0.0.25ssh.xmod can only be installed onto the core image bd10K-11.0.0.25.xos. To install a module to the inactive partition, use the install image command to install the module. Remember, the core image on the inactive partition must be of the same version as the module. When you make the inactive partition active, by issuing the use image command and rebooting the switch, the module is also activated at boot time. To install a module to the active partition, use the install image command to install the module. Remember, the core image on the active partition must be of the same version as the module. If you reboot the switch, the module will also be activated, but you can activate the module without rebooting the switch by issuing the run update command. After issuing that command, all the functionality, and CLI commands, of the module will be available. Performing a Hitless UpgradeBlackDiamond 10K Switch Only. If you specify the msm parameter on a BlackDiamond 10K switch, you can initiate hitless upgrade between the primary and backup MSMs installed in the switch. Hitless upgrade is a mechanism that allows you to upgrade the ExtremeWare XOS software running on the switch without taking the switch out of service. Some additional benefits of using hitless upgrade include:

Minimizing network downtime Reducing the amount of traffic lost

Although any method of upgrading software can have an impact on network operation, including interrupting Layer 2 network operation, performing a hitless upgrade can decrease that impact. Regardless of how you upgrade the software, you must:

View the selected and booted partition using the show switch command Select the partition to use when downloading the image using the download image [[<hostname>
| <ipaddress>] <filename> {{vr} <vrname>} | memorycard <filename>] {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} or the use image {partition} <partition> {msm <slotid>} commands

When performing a hitless upgrade, you must first download the software to the backup MSM. If you download the image to the inactive partition, use the install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot} command to install the software image at a later time. After the software is downloaded and installed on the switch, use the run msm-failover command to initiate failover from the primary MSM to the backup MSM. The original primary MSM becomes the new backup MSM.

1632

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

install image After failover is complete, download the software to the new backup MSM. Again, if you download the image to the inactive partition, use the install image <fname> {<partition>} {msm <slotid>} {reboot} command to install the software image at a later time. For more detailed information about hitless upgrade, see the download image command.

Example
The following command installs the software image file bd10K-11.1.0.20.xos on a BlackDiamond 10K switch:
install image bd10K-11.1.0.20.xos

The following command installs the software image file bd8800-11.3.0.10.xos on a BlackDiamond 8810 switch:
install image bd8800-11.3.0.10.xos

Description
Replicates all saved images and configurations from the primary MSM to the backup MSM on the switch.

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
This command: 1 Reboots the backup MSM to prepare it for synchronizing with the primary MSM 2 Performs a binary copy of the primary MSM to the backup MSM, including the primary and secondary software images, all configurations and policies, and temporary files 3 Reboots the backup MSM after replication is complete During a synchronization, half of the switch fabric is lost. When the primary MSM finishes replicating its configurations and images to the backup MSM, the full switch fabric is restored. To use the synchronize command make sure your switch is running the following software:

BlackDiamond 10K-series switchBoth the backup and the primary MSMs must be running ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 or later. BlackDiamond 8810 switchBoth the backup and the primary MSMs must be running ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 or later. BlackDiamond 8806 switchBoth the backup and the primary MSMs must be running ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 or later.

When you install a backup MSM, you are not prompted to synchronize the images and the configurations from the primary. If not synchronized, the backup uses its image and the primarys configuration. This image/configuration mismatch will likely cause the switch to operate differently after failover. Use the synchronize command to replicate all saved images and configurations from the primary to the backup. If you have not saved your runtime configuration, you are prompted to save it when you use the
synchronize command. A message similar to the following appears: Do you want to save configuration changes to primary.cfg? (y or n)

Enter y to save the configuration and continue with synchronizing the MSMs. Enter n to cancel the operation. If you enter y, messages similar to the following appear:

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

Configuration and Image Commands

Saving configuration on primary MSM ...... done! Synchronizing configuration to backup MSM .. done!

After the configuration has been saved and replicated to the backup MSM, synchronization begins. After the initial reboot, if the backup MSM is not available or does not respond within 120 seconds, the synchronize operation fails. Use the show switch {detail} command to verify that the backup MSM is in sync with the primary MSM. BlackDiamond 8800 Family of Switches Only. On the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches, the I/O ports on the backup MSM go down when you synchronize the MSMs. When the primary MSM finishes replicating its configurations and images to the backup MSM, the I/O ports on the backup MSM come back up.

Example
The following example assumes you have already saved your runtime configuration. The following command replicates all saved images and configurations from the master MSM to the backup MSM:
synchronize

After you enter synchronize, status messages similar to the following appear:
Synchronize will reboot the backup MSM, then overwrite all code images and configs with a copy from the master MSM.

Troubleshooting Commands

If you encounter problems when using your switch, ExtremeWare XOS provides troubleshooting commands. Use these commands only under the guidance of Extreme Networks technical personnel. This appendix describes commands for troubleshooting your switch, including:

Running diagnostics and displaying diagnostic test results Enabling and disabling the standalone Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol (ELRP) client Enabling and disabling debug mode for Event Management System (EMS) components

You can contact Extreme Networks Technical Support at (800) 998-2408 or (408) 579-2826.

Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol

ExtremeWare XOS 11.1 introduced support for the Extreme Loop Recovery Protocol (ELRP). ELRP is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows you to prevent, detect, and recover from Layer 2 loops in the network. You can use ELRP with other protocols such as the Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) and the Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching Protocol (EAPS). A switch running ELRP transmits multicast packets with special MAC destination address out of some or all of the ports belonging to a Virtual LAN (VLAN). All the other switches in the network treat this packet as a regular, multicast packet and flood it to all the ports belonging to the VLAN. If the packets transmitted by a switch are received back by that switch, this indicates a loop in the Layer 2 network. Standalone ELRP gives you the ability to send ELRP packets, either periodically or on an ad hoc oneshot basis on a specified subset of VLAN ports. If any of these transmitted packets is received back then standalone ELRP can perform a configured action such as sending a log message to the system log file or sending a trap to the SNMP manager. Standalone ELRP allows you to:

Configure ELRP packet transmission on specified VLANs. Specify some or all the ports of VLAN for packet transmission. NOTE
Reception of packets is not limited to any specific ports of the VLAN and cannot be configured.

Configure transmission of ELRP packets on specified ports of a VLAN periodically with the added ability to configure the interval between consecutive timings. Save and restore standalone ELRP configuration across reboots.

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

1651

Troubleshooting Commands

Request periodic or non-periodic transmission of ELRP packets on specified ports of a VLAN. For non-periodic ELRP requests:

You can specify the number of times ELRP packets must be transmitted and the interval between consecutive transmissions. A message is printed to the console and logged into the system log file indicating detection of network loop when ELRP packets are received back or no packets are received within the specified duration. There is no need to trap to the SNMP manager. If ELRP packets are received back, a message is printed to the system log file and a trap is sent to the SNMP manager indicating detection of a network loop.

For periodic ELRP requests:

Details of using ELRP with ESRP are discussed in the ExtremeWare XOS User Guide chapter, Extreme Standby Router Protocol, and the commands used to configure ELRP with ESRP are described in Chapter 20, ESRP Commands.

Event Management System

The Event Management System (EMS) provides enhanced features to filter and capture information generated on a switch. Details of using EMS are discussed in the ExtremeWare XOS User Guide, in the chapter, Status Monitoring and Statistics, and the commands used for EMS are detailed in this document in Chapter 8, Commands for Status Monitoring and Statistics. Included in this chapter, as well as in Chapter 8, are the EMS commands to enable and disable debug mode for EMS components.

If you run the diagnostic routine on an I/O module, that module is taken off-line while the diagnostic test is performed. The ports on the module do not forward traffic. Once the diagnostic test is completed, the I/O module is automatically reset and becomes operational again. After the switch runs the diagnostic routine, test results are saved in the modules EEPROM and messages are logged to the syslog.

NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 10K switch, run diagnostics when the switch can be brought off-line. The tests conducted are extensive and affect traffic that must be processed by the system CPU. The CPU processes the diagnostics whether you run diagnostics on an I/O module or a management module.

On an I/O module, the extended diagnostic routine can require significantly more time to complete, depending on the number of ports on the module.

1668

ExtremeWare XOS 11.3 Command Reference

run diagnostics On a management module, the module is taken offline while the diagnostics test is performed. Once the diagnostic test is completed, the MSM reboots, and becomes operational again.

NOTE
On the BlackDiamond 8810 switch (formerly known as Aspen), if you run diagnostics on slots 5 and 6 with an MSM installed in those slots, the diagnostic routine tests the I/O subsystem of the MSM. To run diagnostics on the management portion of the master MSM, specify slot A or B.

Running DiagnosticsSummit X450 Switch Only. If you run the diagnostic routine on a Summit X450 switch, the switch reboots and then performs the diagnostic test. During the test, traffic to and from the ports on the switch is temporarily unavailable. When the diagnostic test is complete, the switch reboots and becomes operational again. Viewing Diagnostics. To view results of the last diagnostics test run, use the following command:
show diagnostics {slot [<slot> | A | B]}

NOTE
The slot, A, and B parameters are available only on modular switches.

State of ELRP (enabled/disabled). Total number of ELRP sessions. ELRP packets transmitted. ELRP packets received.

In addition to the summary information at the top of the display, the show elrp command also displays the following information:
Client VLAN Ports Interval Count Displays the name of the ELRP client. Displays the name of the VLAN with ELRP enabled. Displays the set of VLAN ports used for packet transmission. Displays the configured interval. An interval of 3 indicates that ELRP PDUs are transmitted every 3 seconds. Lists the configured number of ELRP PDUs that are transmitted. The PDUs are transmitted at the configured interval. This method of ELRP PDU transmission is used by ESRP in the premaster state. A count of 0 indicates continuous PDU transmission. If the Cyclic value is Yes, the count is always 0. Indicates whether ELRP PDUs are being continuously sent. The column shows Yes for the master VLAN because that VLAN is continuously sending ELRP PDUs for loop detection. When a VLAN is in the pre-master state, it only sends three ELRP PDUs before changing to master or slave. During this time the column shows No for that VLAN. Displays the number of ELRP PDUs transmitted. Displays the number of ELRP PDUs received.

unconfigure elrp-client <vlan_name>

Description
Disables a pending one-shot or periodic ELRP request for the specified VLAN.

Syntax Description
vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name.

Default
None.

Usage Guidelines
This command disables a pending one-shot or periodic ELRP request for the specified VLAN. To start one-time, non-periodic ELRP packet transmission on specified ports of a VLAN using a particular count and interval, use one of the following commands:

configure elrp-client one-shot <vlan_name> ports [<ports> | all] interval <sec> retry <count> [log | print | print-and-log](This command is backward compatible with

Extreme Networks switches running the ExtremeWare software.)

run elrp <vlan_name> {ports <ports>} {interval <sec>} {retry <count>}

To configure periodic transmission of ELRP packets, use the configure elrp-client periodic command. The ELRP client must be enabled globally in order for it to work on any VLANs. Use the enable elrp-client command to globally enable the ELRP client. The ELRP client can be disabled globally so that none of the ELRP VLAN configurations take effect. Use the disable elrp-client command to globally disable the ELRP client.

Example
The following command disables a pending ELRP request on VLAN elrp1:
unconfigure elrp-client elrp1

CNA Agent Commands

The Converged Network Analyzer (CNA) Agent is part of the CNA software used to test network conditions from Avaya Inc. You use the CNA Agent only if your network includes an Avaya solution that uses CNA. The entire CNA software package consists of multiple parts. The user interface is a combination of a Java applet hosted from the CNA Server and a Command Line Interface (CLI). You obtain all parts (except the CNA Agent) from your Avaya representative, along with the accompanying documentation. You configure and manage the CNA Agent using the CLI. The CNA Agent is a downloadable software module that you use when running the Avaya CNA software.

NOTE
You must download and install the SSH software module prior to downloading and installing the CNA Agent software module.

Using the CNA software, the CNA Agent runs the requested tests and returns the test results. The CNA Agent runs the following tests as directed by the CNA Server:

Traceroute RTP Ping TCPconnect Merge

You enable the software and configure the CNA Agent to communicate with the CNA Server, to clear the test counters, and to display connection status and test results.

configure cna-testplug scheduler ipaddress

configure cna-testplug scheduler ipaddress

configure cna-testplug scheduler ipaddress <ip_address>

Description
Configures the IP address of the CNA Server using open SSL; you enter the IP address of the CNA server.

Syntax
ip_address Specifies the IP address of the CNA Server that communicates with the CNA Agent to schedule tests and receive the results.

Default
N/A.

Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the CNA Agent with the IP address of the CNA Server. The CNA Server requests the timing and type of networking testing, and the CNA Agent runs the tests. NOTE
You use the CNA Agent only if you are running the Avaya CNA solution; you must have other pieces of the CNA (available from Avaya) to run these tests.

You enter the IP address of the CNA server. This command sets up the encryption key that is subsequently used for all communication between the CNA Agent and the CNA Server.

NOTE
You must have previously installed the SSH downloadable software module, which contains SSL, to use the CNA Agent software.

Example
The following command enters the CNA Servers IP address to 10.6.13.116; the CNA Agent uses this IP address to communicate with the CNA Server:
configure cna-testplug scheduler ipaddress 10.6.13.116

Description
Configures the CNA Agent (test plug) to an interface. By default, the CNA Agent is bound to the Default VLAN.

Syntax
valn_name Specifies which interface IP address the CNA Server uses to communicate with the CNA Agent.

Default
Default VLAN.

Usage Guidelines
The interface IP address is specified when setting up the SSL connection with the CNA Server (when you issue the configure cna-testplug scheduler ipaddress command. The CNA Server attempts to establish the socket connection on the interface specified in the configure cna-testplug vlan interface to conduct the actual tests. The system uses the primary IP address if the VLAN has more than one IP address. By default, the CNA Server uses the Default VLAN.

NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you put IP telephones on the same virtual router.

Example
The following command instructs the CNA Server to use the interface associated with VLAN gateway to conduct tests:
configure cna-testplug vlan gateway
