The software features described in this manual are shipped standard with your OmniSwitch 6800 Series, OmniSwitch 6850 Series, and OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches. These features are used when setting up your OmniSwitch in a network of switches and routers. Supported Platforms The information in this guide applies to the following products: · OmniSwitch 9600 · OmniSwitch 9700 · OmniSwitch 9800 · OmniSwitch 6800 Series · OmniSwitch 6850 Series Note. This OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide covers Release 6.1.5, which is supported on the OmniSwitch 6800 Series, OmniSwitch 6850 Series, and OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches and 6.2.1, which is supported on the OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches. OmniSwitch 6600 Family, OmniSwitch 7700/7800, and OmniSwitch 8800 switches use Release 5.x. Please refer to the 5.x user guides for those switches. Unsupported Platforms The information in this guide does not apply to the following products: · OmniSwitch (original version with no numeric model name) · OmniSwitch 6600 Family · OmniSwitch 7700/7800 · OmniSwitch 8800 · Omni Switch/Router · OmniStack · OmniAccess OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 page -xxxiii Who Should Read this Manual? The audience for this user guide is network administrators and IT support personnel who need to configure, maintain, and monitor switches and routers in a live network. However, anyone wishing to gain knowledge on how fundamental software features are implemented in the OmniSwitch 9000 Series will benefit from the material in this configuration guide. When Should I Read this Manual? Read this guide as soon as you are ready to integrate your OmniSwitch into your network and you are ready to set up advanced routing protocols. You should already be familiar with the basics of managing a single OmniSwitch as described in the OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch Management Guide. The topics and procedures in this manual assume an understanding of the OmniSwitch stacking, directory structure, and basic switch administration commands and procedures. This manual will help you set up your switches to communicate with other switches in the network. The topics in this guide include VLANs, authentication, and Quality of Service (QoS)--features that are typically deployed in a multiswitch environment. What is in this Manual? This configuration guide includes information about configuring the following features: · VLANs, VLAN router ports, mobile ports, and VLAN rules. · Basic Layer 2 functions, such as Ethernet port parameters, source learning, Spanning Tree, and Alcatel- Lucent interswitch protocols (AMAP and GMAP). · Advanced Layer 2 functions, such as 802.1Q tagging, Link Aggregation, and IP Multicast Switching. · Basic routing protocols and functions, such as static IP routes, RIP, DHCP Relay, and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). · Security features, such as switch access control, Authenticated VLANs (AVLANs), authentication servers, and policy management. · Quality of Service (QoS) and Access Control Lists (ACLs) features, such as policy rules for prioritiz- ing and filtering traffic, and remapping packet headers. · Diagnostic tools, such as RMON, port mirroring, and switch logging. page -xxxiv OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 What is Not in this Manual? The configuration procedures in this manual use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands in all examples. CLI commands are text-based commands used to manage the switch through serial (console port) connections or via Telnet sessions. Procedures for other switch management methods, such as web-based (WebView or OmniVista) or SNMP, are outside the scope of this guide. For information on WebView and SNMP switch management methods consult the OmniSwitch 6800/ 6850/9000 Switch Management Guide. Information on using WebView and OmniVista can be found in the context-sensitive on-line help available with those network management applications. This guide provides overview material on software features, how-to procedures, and application examples that will enable you to begin configuring your OmniSwitch.

These commands allow you to handle administrative or port-related requests to and from SNMP, CLI, or WebView. Note. OmniSwitch 9000 Series switches do not support combo ports. These ports are supported on OmniSwitch 6800 Series and OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches only. OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 Series Combo Ports All OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 switches have four ports that are shared between four copper 10/100/1000 RJ-45 connections and four fiber 1Gbps SFP connectors, which can accept any qualified 1Gbps SFP transceivers. These ports are known as combo ports (also sometimes referred to as "hybrid" ports). You can use either the copper 10/100/1000 port or the equivalent fiber SFP connector, for example, but, not both at the same time. By default, combo ports are set to preferred fiber, which means that the switch will use the fiber SFP connector instead of the equivalent copper RJ-45 port or fiber 100 Mbps port if both ports are enabled and have a valid link. However, if the SFP connector goes down, the equivalent RJ-45 or fiber 100 Mbps port will come up. This mode can be used if you want to use the fiber 1 Gbps connection as your main link while having a copper link as a backup. For example, on the OmniSwitch 6800-48 ports, 45­48 are combo ports. If cables are connected into the copper port 45 and the fiber port 45, the fiber SFP link will be the active one. If the SFP link goes down then the copper port will automatically become active. No user intervention is required. Note. See "Valid Port Settings on OmniSwitch 6800 Series Switches" on page 1-5 and "Valid Port Settings on OmniSwitch 6850 Series Switches" on page 1-5 for more information on combo ports. In addition, refer to the specific Hardware Users Guide for each type of switch. The following three additional optional combo port modes are user configurable: · Preferred copper. In this mode, the switch will use the copper RJ-45 port instead of the equivalent fiber SFP connector, if both ports are enabled and have a valid link. · Forced fiber. In this mode, the switch will always use the fiber SFP connector instead of the equiva- lent copper RJ-45 port. · Forced copper. In this mode, the switch will always use the copper RJ-45 port instead of the equiva- lent fiber SFP connector. See "Setting the Combo Port Type and Mode" on page 1-18 for more information on configuring combo ports. page 1-4 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 Configuring Ethernet Ports Ethernet Ports Overview Valid Port Settings on OmniSwitch 6800 Series Switches This table below lists valid speed, duplex, and autonegotiation settings for the different OmniSwitch 6800 Series port types.

Therefore, either straight-through or crossover cable can be used between two OmniSwitch 9000 switches as long as autonegotiation is configured on both sides of the link. See "Configuring Autonegotiation and Crossover Settings" on page 1-16 for more information. Autonegotiation Guidelines Please note a link will not be established on any copper Ethernet port if any one of the following is true: · The local port advertises 100 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 100 Mbps full duplex. · The local port advertises 100 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 100 Mbps half duplex. · The local port advertises 10 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 10 Mbps full duplex. · The local port advertises 10 Mbps full duplex and the remote link partner is forced to 10 half duplex. This is due to the fact that when the local device is set to auto negotiating 10/100 full duplex it senses the remote device is not auto negotiating. Therefore it resolves to Parallel Detect with Highest Common Denominator (HCD), which is "10/100 Half" according to IEEE 802.3 Clause 28.2.3.1. However, since the local device is set to auto negotiating at 10/100 full duplex it cannot form a 10/100 Mbps half duplex link in any of the above mentioned cases. One solution is to configure the local device to autonegotiation, 10/100 Mbps, with auto or half duplex. OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 page 1-7 Setting Ethernet Parameters for All Port Types Configuring Ethernet Ports Setting Ethernet Parameters for All Port Types The following sections describe how to configure Ethernet port parameters using CLI commands that can be used on all port types. See "Setting Ethernet Parameters for Non-Combo Ports" on page 1-14 for information on configuring non-combo ports and see "Setting Combo Ethernet Port Parameters on OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 Switches" on page 1-18 for more information on configuring combo ports. Setting Trap Port Link Messages The trap port link command can be used to enable or disable (the default) trap port link messages on a specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on a switch (slot). When enabled, a trap message will be displayed on a Network Management Station (NMS) whenever the port state has changed. Enabling Trap Port Link Messages To enable trap port link messages on an entire switch, enter trap followed by the slot number and port link enable. For example, to enable trap port link messages on all ports on slot 2, enter: -> trap 2 port link enable To enable trap port link messages on a single port, enter trap followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, and port link enable. For example, to enable trap port link messages on slot 2 port 3, enter: -> trap 2/3 port link enable To enable trap port link messages on a range of ports, enter trap followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and port link enable. For example, to enable trap port link messages ports 3 through 5 on slot 2, enter: -> trap 2/3-5 port link enable Disabling Trap Port Link Messages To disable trap port link messages on an entire switch, enter trap followed by the slot number and port link disable. For example, to disable trap port link messages on all ports on slot 2, enter: -> trap 2 port link disable To disable trap port link messages on a single port, enter trap followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, and port link disable. For example, to disable trap port link messages on slot 2 port 3, enter: -> trap 2/3 port link disable To disable trap port link messages on a range of ports, enter trap followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and port link disable. For example, to disable trap port link messages ports 3 through 5 on slot 2, enter: -> trap 2/3-5 port link disable page 1-8 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 Configuring Ethernet Ports Setting Ethernet Parameters for All Port Types Resetting Statistics Counters The interfaces no l2 statistics command is used to reset all Layer 2 statistics counters on a specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on a switch (slot). To reset Layer 2 statistics on an entire slot, enter interfaces followed by the slot number and no l2 statistics. For example, to reset all Layer 2 statistics counters on slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2 no l2 statistics To reset Layer 2 statistics on a single port, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, and no l2 statistics. For example, to reset all Layer 2 statistics counters on port 3 on slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2/3 no l2 statistics To reset Layer 2 statistics on a range of ports, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, and no l2 statistics. For example, to reset all Layer 2 statistics counters on ports 1 through 3 on slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2/1-3 no l2 statistics As an option, you can document the interface type by entering ethernet, fastethernet, or gigaethernet before the slot number. For example, to reset all Layer 2 statistics counters on port 3 on slot 2 and document the port as Gigabit Ethernet, enter: -> interfaces gigaethernet 2/3 no l2 statistics Note. The show interfaces, show interfaces accounting, and show interfaces counters commands can be used to display Layer 2 statistics (e.g., input and output errors, deferred frames received, unicast packets transmitted). For information on using these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. Enabling and Disabling Interfaces The interfaces admin command is used to enable (the default) or disable a specific port, a range of ports, or all ports on an entire switch (NI module). To enable or disable an entire slot, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, admin, and the desired administrative setting (either up or down). For example, to administratively disable slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2 admin down To enable or disable a single port, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the port number, admin, and the desired administrative setting (either up or down). For example, to administratively disable port 3 on slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2/3 admin down To enable or disable a range of ports, enter interfaces followed by the slot number, a slash (/), the first port number, a hyphen (-), the last port number, admin, and the desired administrative setting (either up or down). For example, to administratively disable ports 1 through 3 on slot 2, enter: -> interfaces 2/1-3 admin down OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide June 2007 page 1-9 Setting Ethernet Parameters for All Port Types
