Command Reference

This appendix discusses all aspects of the command set for the Catalyst 1200 series Switch. A list of top-level commands is provided in Table C-1.


Command Line Processing

The user interface for the admin. port on the switch is a basic command line interpreter similar to that of the UNIX C shell. Command-line editing is provided, including history substitution and aliasing. If you make a mistake while entering a command, use the Delete or Backspace key to erase the mistake and then reenter the command.


History Substitution Buffer

Commands entered during a terminal session are stored in a history substitution buffer. Commands in this buffer can be repeated or edited in a style similar to the UNIX C shell. The buffer stores the last eight commands entered during a terminal session. (See the section "history Command," later in this appendix.)

To repeat a recent command, do the following:

!!---repeat the most recent command
!nn---repeat command nn
!aaa---repeat the command beginning with string aaa
!?aaa---repeat the command containing the string aaa

To modify and repeat the most recent command, do the following:

^aaa^bbb---replace the string aaa with the string bbb in 
the most recent command


To add a string to the end of a previous command and repeat it, do the following:

!!aaa---add string aaa to the end of the most recent command
!nn aaa---add string aaa to the end of command nn
!aaa bbb---add string bbb to the end of the command beginning with string aaa
!?aaa bbb---add string bbb to the end of the command containing the string 
aaa 


Connecting to Catalyst Administration

There are two ways to connect to the admin. interface: the admin. port (EIA/TIA-232) or Telnet. The admin. port allows fixed baud rates. All Telnet sessions are automatically disconnected after remaining idle for 20 minutes. When connecting, "cisco Systems Console" is displayed.


Connection via EIA/TIA-232

A connection via EIA/TIA-232 appears as follows:

Cisco Systems Console
Enter password:
Sorry. Try again.
Enter password:
Console>
Console>
Console> quit


Connection via Telnet

To use Telnet, you must have set the IP address for the switch. Up to 12 simultaneous Telnet sessions are possible. To access the switch with Telnet, perform the following steps:

Step 1 On the remote host, enter the following command, where hostname is the host name or IP address of the switch:


% telnet hostname

Step 2 Enter the admin. interface password.


Note The password default is Return unless you have set a password using the set password command described later in this appendix.

Step 3 When you are finished, enter quit to exit the Telnet session. Following is sample output of a Telnet session:


% telnet catalyst1
Trying 192.122.173.201 ...
Connected to catalyst1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Cisco Systems Console
Enter password:
Sorry. Try again.
E nter password:
Console>
Console>
Console> quit
Connection closed by foreign host.


Top-Level Commands

Displaying Information about Commands

Use the ? command to display usage and syntax information about a specific command or to list groups of commands. In normal mode, use the ? command to display a list of top-level commands, as follows:

Console> ?
Commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
enable             Enable privileged mode
help               Show this message
history            Show contents of history substitution buffer
ping               Send echo packets to hosts
quit               Exit out of the console
set                Set, use 'set help' for more info
show               Show, use 'show help' for more info
wait               Wait for x seconds
Console>


Note The overall function of the ? command is the same as the help command.

In privileged mode, use the ? command to display a list of commands, as follows:

Console> enable
Enter password:
Console> (enable) ?
Commands:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
clear               Clear, use 'clear help' for more info

wait                Wait for x seconds
write               Write system configuration to terminal/network
Console> (enable)


Note In general, you can use the ? command appended to any command associated with a group of commands: alias, set, show, and so forth. Or you can append it to any specific command for a list of usage and syntax information. The overall function of the ? command is the same as the help command. For an example of how the ? command can be used to display usage and syntax information about a specific command, refer to the
clear alias command description.

clear trunk

Use the clear trunk command to clear partial information in the trunk port table or convert trunk link back to bridge ports. This command disables transitencapsulation if the mode is on. If VLANs are specified, only those VLANs are cleared from the trunk port table. When all VLANs in the trunk port are cleared, the port automatically converts back to a regular bridge port. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) clear trunk help
Usage: clear trunk [vlans]
       (An example of vlans is 1,3,865-869)
Console> (enable) clear trunk

See also set trunk and show trunk.


configure Command

Use the configure network command to download a configuration batch file (designated by filename) from a TFTP server (designated by the server) and then execute the commands in the file. Following is a sample display of the configure command:

Console> (enable) configure ?
Usage: configure network
       configure terminal
       configure <host> <file>
Console> (enable) configure cres new.cfg


If the server is not specified, the default is the first entry in the SNMP trap receiver table.

The configure terminal command prompts you to use the set commands to configure the system. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) configure terminal
This function provided by set commands. Use 'set help' for more info.
Console> (enable)

Configuration files are simply multiple Catalyst commands collected in a file. Each Catalyst command is entered on one line. The file should be delimited by begin and end statements and may have comments (identified by a pound sign [#]) as the first character on the line; however, comments must be on lines by themselves. Some commands prompt you for input or confirmation. With input commands, responses should follow the command on the next line(s) to ensure proper operation.


Note Some confirmations prompted for in a Telnet session are not in EIA/TIA-232 connection sessions.

Configuration files should consist only of ASCII text, and should not be larger than 4,608 bytes (4.5 KB).

Following is a sample configuration:

show time
set ip alias conc7 198.103.219.207
set ip alias montreux 198.103.219.40
set ip alias cres 192.102.174.42
set prompt catalyst5>
set password
#empty string old password

pingpong
pingpong
end
#

Following is a sample admin. session:

Usage: configure network
       configure terminal
       configure <host> <file>
Console> (enable) configure 192.122.174.42 catalyst5.cfg

Configure using catalyst5.cfg from 192.122.174.42 (y/n) [n]? y

Enter new password: pingpong
Retype new password: pingpong
Password changed.
catalyst5> (enable)

When you enter the configure network command, you are prompted for the host server, then for the configuration filename.


copy Command

Use the copy command to copy data movement processor (DMP) or network management processor (NMP) image files between the network host and Flash memory using the TFTP protocol. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) copy
Usage: copy tftp <nmp|dmp>
       copy <nmp|dmp> tftp
Console> (enable) copy nmp tftp
IP address or name of host? happy
Name of file to copy to? nmpflash.31

^C
----elvis PING Statistics----
7 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 7/8/11
Console>

Following are options of the ping command:

  • -s---sends one datagram per second, printing one line of output for every response received. The ping command does not return any output when no response is received.


Note Enter Ctrl-C to stop pinging.

  • packet size and packet count---Specifies a packet size and the number of packets to send. Packet sizes range from 1 to 2,000 bytes, with a default of 56 bytes. The actual packet size is eight bytes larger because the switch adds header information.

Following are sample results of the ping command:

  • Normal response---The normal response occurs in one to ten seconds, depending on network traffic.

  • Destination does not respond---If the host does not respond, a "no answer" message appears in ten seconds.

  • Destination unreachable---The gateway given in the route table for this destination indicates that the destination is unreachable.

  • Network or host unreachable---The switch did not find a corresponding entry in the route table.

set fddi userdata           Set system SMT User Data
Console> (enable)


set fddi tlmin

Use the set fddi tlmin command to change the TL_MIN timer value for an FDDI port. The TL_MIN parameter sets the minimum time to transmit a Physical Layer Protocol (PHY) line state before advancing to the next physical connection management (PCM) state. This setting affects the station and switch interoperability and might hinder the implementation of FDDI repeaters. By default, the TL_MIN parameter is set to 40 microseconds. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set fddi tlmin
Usage: set fddi tlmin <port_num> <time>
(time = 40..1340006 usec)
Console> (enable) set fddi tlmin 1 40
Port 1 tl_min set to 40 usecs.
CAT2> (enable)
Console> (enable) 


set fddi tnotify

Use the set fddi tnotify command to change the TNotify timer value for an FDDI ring. The TNotify parameter sets the interval (in seconds) between neighbor notification frames. These frames are sent out to notify neighboring devices of FDDI module MAC addresses. The default setting (30 seconds) is usually sufficient. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set fddi tnotify
Usage: set fddi tnotify <time>
(time = 2..30 seconds)
Console> (enable) set fddi tnotify 16
System SMT T-Notify set.
Console> (enable) 


set fddi treq

Use the set fddi treq command to change the TReq value for an FDDI ring.The TRequest parameter specifies the FDDI switch value for the Token Ring Timer (TRT) for negotiating the TRT with other stations. The TRT is used to control ring scheduling during normal operation and to detect and recover from serious ring error situations. When the TRT value expires, the station uses the TRequest value to negotiate with other stations for the lowest value. The default setting of 165,000 microseconds is sufficient for most networks.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set fddi treq
Usage: set fddi treq <time>
(time = 2502..16500 usec)
Console> (enable) set fddi treq 165000
MAC T-Request set.
Console> (enable) 


set fddi userdata

Use the set fddi userdata command to configure the user data string in the SMT MIB. It is only available in privileged mode. The default value is WorkGroup Stack. The user data string is useful for identifying the FDDI module or Catalyst 1200 series switch when using a management tool to configure and maintain an internetwork or when accessing the FDDI module remotely. The user data string can be a term identifying the function of the network node or the users connected to the network node. Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set fddi userdata 
Usage: set fddi userdata [userdata_string]
Console> (enable) set fddi userdata Fred's Switch
System SMT User Data set.
Console> (enable) 


set filter

Use the set filter command to selectively receive frames based on criteria other than source address, for example, frame contents, vendor code, or protocol type. Custom filtering operates after the frame is received (after a CAM reject/receive decision). It does not override the forwarding information in the CAM. See the section "Access Lists With Broadcast Suppression" in the chapter "Feature Configuration" for detailed configuration examples.


Note The set filter command is used to filter packets received at the port. It also does not filter packets transmitted from the port.

The filtering types are as follows:

  • MAC layer address

  • Vendor code

  • Protocol type

  • User defined access lists

  • Broadcast and multicast packets

The set filter command sets the custom port filter variables used to allow access list filtering.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set filter help
Commands:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
set filter macaddress        Set MAC address filter
set filter vendor            Set Vendor ID filter
set filter protocol          Set protocol type filter
set filter test              Set tests for complex filter
set filter complex           Set complex filter
set filter broadcast         Set broadcast packets per second

The variables are as follows:

  • macaddress, port _number mac _address permit | deny

  • vendor, port_number vendor_id permit | deny

  • protocol, port _number protocol_type permit | deny

  • test port_number test_number offset value mask

  • complex port_number expression

  • broadcast port_number packets_per_second

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set filter macaddress
Usage: set filter macaddress <ports> <mac_address> [permit|deny]

set interface

Use the set interface command to configure network interfaces by assigning network addresses, subnet masks, broadcast addresses, and destination addresses for FDDI, Ethernet, and SLIP interfaces. You can also use the set interface command to bring the interface up or down.

Following are the interface types:

  • sc0 (SUM port)---Assign the Catalyst 1200 series switch IP address to this interface type.

  • sl0---Use this interface type when configuring an SLIP connection on the switch.


Note After SLIP is enabled on the admin. port, an EIA/TIA-232 terminal cannot access the Catalyst Switch through this port.

  • lo0---Use this interface type to configure an internal loopback for the switch.

  • 1, 3 through 10---Use the port number to assign an IP address to a specific port. Port 1 is the FDDI port. Ports 3 through 10 are Ethernet ports. See the section "Virtual Network Services (VNS)" in the chapter "Feature Configuration" for a detailed IP address assignment description.


Note Multiple route groups require different IP addresses.

The interface defaults are:

  • ip_address---0.0.0.0

  • netmask---255.0.0.0

  • broadcast---0.0.0.0

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) set interface
Usage: set interface <if_name|if_number> <ip_address> <net_mask> [broadcast_address]
       set interface <if_name> <slip_address> <dest_address>
       set interface <if_name|if_number> <up|down>
Console> (enable) set interface 4 192.200.0.44 255.255.255.0 192.200.0.255
Interface sc0 IP address, netmask and broadcast address set.
Console> (enable) set interface sl0 192.200.10.45 192.200.10.103
Interface sl0 IP address and netmask set
Console> (enable) set interface 5 up
Interface sc0 administratively up.
Console> (enable)

Changing the interface port setting to down has the following effects:

  • All stations connected to that port through Telnet or ping sessions lose their connection

  • Bridging and routing data originated by the station connected to the port are affected

  • IP-routed traffic is blocked to the entire route group

See also show interface.

Matching CAM entries = 5

Following are descriptions of the display fields of the show cam command:

  • Destination MAC Address---The destination MAC address in the packets to be bridged.

  • Source Port---The switch port on which a bridged packet is received.

  • Destination Port---The port to which the bridged packet is sent. The destination ports are given numerical designators as follows: 0 for an internal destination (packets destined for the switch SNMP agent, the spanning-tree agent, and so forth), 1 for FDDI ports, and 3 through 10 for Ethernet LAN ports.

  • Protocol Type---The type of protocol for the source and destination ports.

Following is a sample display of the show cam mac_address command:

Console> (enable) sh cam 00-11-22-22-11-00 7 1
VLAN Destination         Source     Destination      Protocol
Num. MAC Address         Port       Port             Type

   1 00:11:22:22:11:00   any --->   7                            
Matching CAM entries = 1

In the command show cam static [fddi] mac_addr srcport destports, FDDI indicates that the MAC address in the next parameter is in FDDI format instead of in canonical (Ethernet) format. The field Destination Port can be a list of one or more port numbers, separated by commas, spaces, or tabs.

  • Neigh---Indicates the type of port attached to this port (called the neighbor port). The neighbor port can be one of the following types:

    • A---A port

    • B---B port

    • S---Slave port

    • M---Master port

    • U---Undetermined port

  • Media---Indicates the media capabilities of the indicated port as follows:

    • mlt-3---The port uses MLT-3 (CDDI) media.

    • fiber---The port uses FDDI fiber-optic cable.

    • none---This port cannot be used because it is missing a line module card (an internal plug-in circuit board).

  • Ler-Cond---Shows the link error rate indicator field as either true (an error condition exists on the link) or false (no error conditions exist on the link).

  • Ler-Est---Refers to the long-term estimated error rate for the link. The value displayed in this field is the exponent of 10--n. For example, if the indicated value is 11, the estimated error rate is 10--11; thus, the higher the value of the exponent, the lower the number and the better the link error rate. Values range from 10--4 to 10--12.

  • Ler-Alrm---Contains the error rate for the link that generates an alarm. The default is 10--8. The value displayed in this field is the exponent of 10--n.

  • Ler-Cutoff---Contains the error rate for the link that disables the port. The default is 10--7. The value displayed in this field is the exponent of 10--n.

  • Lem-Ct---Holds the link error monitor count, which is the number of recorded link errors received. This count is used to estimate the link error rate (Ler-Est). The link error monitor helps measure link performance and isolate faulty links that pass initial tests.

  • Lem-Rej-Ct---Contains the link error monitor rejected count, which is the number of times a link was disabled because the link error rate reached the cutoff threshold.

  • Port---Displays the 10BaseT ports numbered 3 through 10.

  • Name---Contains the name of the designated port. A name is displayed only if you assigned a name using the set portname command.

  • Status---Indicates the relative condition of the port as one of the following:

    • Ok---The port has connection. The link status LED is green.

    • Other---The port is not connected.

    • Disable---The port is disabled.

  • Align-Err---Shows the number of frames received on this port that are not an integral number of octets in length and do not pass the frame checksum (FCS) check.

  • FCS-Err---Shows the number of frames received on this port that are an integral number of octets in length, but do not pass the FCS check.

  • Xmit-Err---Shows the number of frames for which transmission failed on this port because of an internal MAC-sublayer transmit error.

  • Rcv-Err---Shows the number of frames for which reception failed on this port because of an internal MAC-sublayer receive error.

  • Single-Col---Shows the number of frames successfully transmitted on this port for which transmission is inhibited by one collision.

  • Multi-Coll---Shows the number of frames successfully transmitted on this port for which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.

  • Late-Coll---Shows the number of times a collision is detected on this port later than 512 bit times into the transmission of a packet.

  • Excess-Col---Shows the number of frames for which transmission on this port failed because of excessive collisions.

  • Carrier-Sense---Shows the number of times the carrier-sense condition was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit a packet on this port.

  • Giants---Shows the number of frames received on this port that exceeded the maximum permitted frame size.

  • Last-Time-Cleared---Displays the date and time that the port counters were last cleared.

write Command

Use the write command to write the Catalyst 1200 series switch configuration either to an existing file in a network host tftpboot directory or to the terminal screen display.

Use the ASCII configuration file uploaded by the write terminal command to configure the same switch or edit to configure another Catalyst Switch. (See the section "configure Command," earlier in this appendix.) The uploaded file is the same output as the file generated by the write terminal command, with the following exceptions:

  • The configuration file should end with a single line containing the word "end" followed by a carriage return.

  • Passwords are saved in the configuration file as clear text and do not echo on the screen.

  • A blank line should follow the set password and set enablepass commands, assuming no password is to be configured.

  • A blank line should follow each occurrence of the following command line:

    • set port port disable

The blank line is needed to display the confirmation prompt with the no default. When these commands are called from a Telnet session, they are not executed because they may disconnect the Telnet session. It is recommended that you execute the configure command from the EIA/TIA-232 connection, not from a Telnet session.

  • A set attach command type change made from a configuration file is set, but the switch must be reset for the attachment type change to be implemented.

The write terminal command functions the same as the copy command. Refer to the "copy Command" section for information about this command.

Following is a sample display:

Console> (enable) write
Usage: write network
       write terminal
       write <host> <file>
Console> (enable) write network
