CHAPTER 1
The Command Line Interface
Your GbE Switch Module (GbESM) is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the
box. Some of the more advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration
before they can be used effectively.
The extensive Alteon OS switching software included in your switch provides a variety of
options for accessing and configuring the switch:
„
„
„
A built-in, text-based command line interface and menu system for access via a Telnet ses-
sion or serial-port connection
SNMP support for access through network management software such as IBM Director or
HP OpenView
Alteon OS Browser-Based Interface (BBI)
The command line interface is the most direct method for collecting switch information and
performing switch configuration. Using a basic terminal, you are presented with a hierarchy of
menus that enable you to view information and statistics about the switch, and to perform any
necessary configuration.
This chapter explains how to access the Command Line Interface (CLI) for the switch.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Connecting to the Switch
You can access the command line interface in any one of the following ways:
„
„
„
„
Using a Telnet via the management module
Using a Telnet connection over the network
Using a SSH connection to securely log into another computer over a network
Using a serial connection using the serial port on the GbESM
Management Module Setup
The BladeCenter GbE Switch Module is an integral subsystem within the overall BladeCenter
system. The BladeCenter chassis includes a management module (MM) as the central element
for overall chassis management and control.
You can use the 100 Mbps Ethernet port on the management module to configure and manage
the GbE Switch Module. The GbE Switch Module communicates with the management mod-
ule through its internal port 15 (MGT1) and port 16 (MGT2), which you can access through the
Ethernet port on the management module. The factory default settings will permit only man-
agement and control access to the switch module through the Ethernet port on the management
module, or the built-in serial port. You can use the six external 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
ports on the switch module for management and control of the switch by selecting this mode as
an option through the management module configuration utility program (see the applicable
BladeCenter Installation and User’s Guide publications for more information).
Factory-Default vs. MM assigned IP Addresses
Each GbE Switch Module must be assigned its own Internet Protocol address, which is used
for communication with an SNMP network manager or other transmission control protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) applications (for example, BootP or TFTP). The factory-default IP
address is 10.90.90.9x, where x corresponds to the number of the bay into which the GbE

Switch Module is installed. For additional information, see the Installation Guide). The man-
agement module assigns an IP address of 192.168.70.1xx, where xx corresponds to the number
of the bay into which each GbE Switch Module is installed, as shown in the following table:
Table 1-1 GbESM IP addresses, based on switch-module bay numbers

192.168.70.129
Bay 4
10.90.90.97
192.168.70.130
NOTE – Switch Modules installed in Bay 1 and Bay 2 connect to server NICs 1 and 2, respec-
tively. However, Windows operating systems show that Switch Modules installed in Bay 3 and
Bay 4 connect to server NICs 4 and 3, respectively.
Default Gateway
The default Gateway IP address determines where packets with a destination address outside
the current subnet should be sent. Usually, the default Gateway is a router or host acting as an
IP gateway to handle connections to other subnets of other TCP/IP networks. If you want to
access the GbE Switch Module from outside your local network, use the management module
to assign a default Gateway address to the GbE Switch Module. Choose I/O Module Tasks >
Configuration from the navigation pane on the left, and enter the default Gateway IP address
(for example, 192.168.70.125). Click Save.
Configuring management module for switch access
Complete the following initial configuration steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the management module to a 10/100 Mbps network (with
access to a management station) or directly to a management station.
ment Module User’s Guide. The management module provides the appropriate IP
addresses for network access (see the applicable BladeCenter Installation and User’s
Guide publications for more information).
3. Select Configuration on the I/O Module Tasks menu on the left side of the BladeCenter
Management Module window. See Figure 1-1.

4. You can use the default IP addresses provided by the management module, or you can
assign a new IP address to the switch module through the management module. You can
assign this IP address through one of the following methods:
„
„
Manually through the BladeCenter management module
Automatically through the IBM Director Configuration Wizard (available in
Director release 4.21)
NOTE – If you change the IP address of the GbE Switch Module, make sure that the switch
module and the management module both reside on the same subnet.

5. Enable the following features in the management module:
„
„
External Ports (I/O Module Tasks > Admin/Power/Restart > Advance Setup)
External management over all ports (Configuration > Advanced Configuration)
This setting is required if you want to access the management network through the exter-
nal ports on the GbE Switch Module.
The default value is Disabledfor both features. If these features are not already enabled,
change the value to Enabled, then Save.
NOTE – In Advanced Configuration > Advanced Setup, enable “Preserve new IP configura-
tion on all switch resets,” to retain the switch’s IP interface when you restore factory defaults.
This setting preserves the management port’s IP address in the management module’s memory,
so you maintain connectivity to the management module after a reset.
You can now start a Telnet session, Browser-Based Interface (Web) session, a Secure Shell ses-
sion, or a secure HTTPS session to the GbE Switch Module.
Connecting to the Switch via Telnet
Use the management module to access the GbE Switch Module through Telnet. Choose
I/O Module Tasks > Configuration from the navigation pane on the left. Select a bay number
and click Advanced Configuration > Start Telnet/Web Session > Start Telnet Session. A
Telnet window opens a connection to the Switch Module (requires Java 1.4 Plug-in).
Once that you have configured the GbE Switch Module with an IP address and gateway, you
can access the switch from any workstation connected to the management network. Telnet
access provides the same options for user and administrator access as those available through
the management module, minus certain Telnet and management commands.
To establish a Telnet connection with the switch, run the Telnet program on your workstation
and issue the Telnet command, followed by the switch IP address:
telnet <switch IP address>
Running Telnet
Once the IP parameters on the GbE Switch Module are configured, you can access the CLI using
a Telnet connection. From the management module, you can establish a Telnet connection with
the switch.
You will then be prompted to enter a password as explained on page 27.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Establishing an SSH Connection
Although a remote network administrator can manage the configuration of a GbE Switch Module
via Telnet, this method does not provide a secure connection. The SSH (Secure Shell) protocol
enables you to securely log into another computer over a network to execute commands
remotely. As a secure alternative to using Telnet to manage switch configuration, SSH ensures
that all data sent over the network is encrypted and secure.
The switch can do only one session of key/cipher generation at a time. Thus, a SSH/SCP client
will not be able to login if the switch is doing key generation at that time or if another client
has just logged in before this client. Similarly, the system will fail to do the key generation if a
SSH/SCP client is logging in at that time.
The supported SSH encryption and authentication methods are listed below.
„
Server Host Authentication: Client RSA-authenticates the switch in the beginning of
every connection.
„
Key Exchange: RSA
„
„
Encryption: 3DES-CBC, DES
User Authentication: Local password authentication, Radius
The following SSH clients have been tested:
„
„
„
SSH 1.2.23 and SSH 1.2.27 for Linux (freeware)
SecureCRT 3.0.2 and SecureCRT 3.0.3 (Van Dyke Technologies, Inc.)
F-Secure SSH 1.1 for Windows (Data Fellows)
NOTE – The Alteon OS implementation of SSH is based on SSH version 1.5 and supports SSH-
1.5-1.X.XX. SSH clients of other versions (especially Version 2) are not supported.

Running SSH
Once the IP parameters are configured and the SSH service is turned on the GbE Switch Module,
you can access the command line interface using an SSH connection. The default setting for
SSH access is disabled.
To establish an SSH connection with the switch, run the SSH program on your workstation by
issuing the SSH command, followed by the switch IP address:
>> # ssh <switch IP address>
or, if SecurID authentication is required, use the following command:
>> # ssh -1 ace <switch IP address>
You will then be prompted to enter your user name and password.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Accessing the Switch
To enable better switch management and user accountability, three levels or classes of user
access have been implemented on the GbE Switch Module. Levels of access to CLI, Web man-
agement functions, and screens increase as needed to perform various switch management
tasks. Conceptually, access classes are defined as follows:
„
User interaction with the switch is completely passive—nothing can be changed on the
GbE Switch Module. Users may display information that has no security or privacy implica-
tions, such as switch statistics and current operational state information.
„
Operators can only effect temporary changes on the GbE Switch Module. These changes
will be lost when the switch is rebooted/reset. Operators have access to the switch man-
agement features used for daily switch operations. Because any changes an operator
makes are undone by a reset of the switch, operators cannot severely impact switch opera-
tion.
„
Administrators are the only ones that may make permanent changes to the switch configu-
ration—changes that are persistent across a reboot/reset of the switch. Administrators can
access switch functions to configure and troubleshoot problems on the GbE Switch Module.
Because administrators can also make temporary (operator-level) changes as well, they
must be aware of the interactions between temporary and permanent changes.
Access to switch functions is controlled through the use of unique surnames and passwords.
Once you are connected to the switch via local Telnet, remote Telnet, or SSH, you are
prompted to enter a password. The default user names/password for each access level are listed
in the following table.

Setup Versus CLI
Once the administrator password is verified, you are given complete access to the switch. If the
switch is still set to its factory default configuration, the system will ask whether you wish to
run Setup (see Chapter 2, “First-Time Configuration”), a utility designed to help you through
the first-time configuration process. If the switch has already been configured, the Main Menu
of the CLI is displayed instead.

CHAPTER 2
First-Time Configuration
To help with the initial process of configuring your switch, the Alteon OS software includes a
Setup utility. The Setup utility prompts you step-by-step to enter all the necessary information
for basic configuration of the switch. This chapter describes how to use the Setup utility and
how to change system passwords. Before you run Setup, you must first connect to the switch
(see Chapter 1, “Connecting to the Switch”).

Setup Part 4: IP Configuration
The system prompts for IP parameters.
IP Interfaces
IP interfaces are used for defining subnets to which the switch belongs.
Up to 128 IP interfaces can be configured on the GbE Switch Module. The IP address assigned to
each IP interface provide the switch with an IP presence on your network. No two IP interfaces
can be on the same IP subnet. The interfaces can be used for connecting to the switch for
remote configuration, and for routing between subnets and VLANs (if used).
1. Select the IP interface to configure, or skip interface configuration at the prompt:
IP Config:

4. The system prompts you to configure another default gateway:
Enter default gateway number: (1-132)
Repeat the steps in this section until all default gateways have been configured. When all
default gateways have been configured, press <Enter> without specifying any number.
IP Routing
When IP interfaces are configured for the various subnets attached to your switch, IP routing
between them can be performed entirely within the switch. This eliminates the need to send
inter-subnet communication to an external router device. Routing on more complex networks,
where subnets may not have a direct presence on the GbE Switch Module, can be accomplished
through configuring static routes or by letting the switch learn routes dynamically.
This part of the Setup program prompts you to configure the various routing parameters.
1. At the prompt, enable or disable forwarding for IP Routing:
Enable IP forwarding? [y/n]
Enter yto enable IP forwarding. To disable IP forwarding, enter n.To keep the current setting,

Menu Basics
The GbE Switch Module’s Command Line Interface (CLI) is used for viewing switch informa-
tion and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use the CLI for performing all levels of
switch configuration.
To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series
of menus and sub-menus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or sub-menus that are
available, along with a summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt
where you can enter any command appropriate to the current menu.
This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and short-
cuts that are commonly available from all the menus within the CLI.

(/). You can connect as many commands as required to access the menu option that you want.
For example, the keyboard shortcut to access the Spanning Tree Port Configuration Menu from
the Main#prompt is as follows:
Main# cfg/l2/stg 1/port
Command Abbreviation
Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which distinguish the com-
mand from the others in the same menu or sub-menu. For example, the command shown above
could also be entered as follows:
Main# c/l2/stg 1/po
Tab Completion
By entering the first letter of a command at any menu prompt and hitting <Tab>, the CLI will
display all commands or options in that menu that begin with that letter. Entering additional
letters will further refine the list of commands or options displayed. If only one command fits

/info/sys/snmpv3/access
SNMPv3 Access Table Information
The access control sub system provides authorization services.
The vacmAccessTable maps a group name, security information, a context, and a message
type, which could be the read or write type of operation or notification into a MIB view.
The View-based Access Control Model defines a set of services that an application can use for
checking access rights of a group. This group's access rights are determined by a read-view, a
write-view and a notify-view. The read-view represents the set of object instances authorized
for the group while reading the objects. The write-view represents the set of object instances
authorized for the group when writing objects. The notify-view represents the set of object
instances authorized for the group when sending a notification.

An address that is in the forwarding (FWD) state, means that it has been learned by the switch.
When in the trunking (TRK) state, the port field represents the trunk group number. If the state
for the port is listed as unknown (UNK), the MAC address has not yet been learned by the
switch, but has only been seen as a destination address. When an address is in the unknown
state, no outbound port is indicated, although ports which reference the address as a destination
will be listed under “Reference ports.”

State
The following table describes the STG parameters.
Table 4-16 Spanning Tree Parameter Descriptions
Parameter
Description
Priority(bridge)
The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network will
become the STG root bridge.
Hello
The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the root bridge
transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that
is not the root bridge uses the root bridge hello value.
MaxAge
The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the
bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit
before it reconfigure the STG network.
FwdDel
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a
bridge port has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding
state.
Aging
The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the
bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the
station from the Forwarding Database.
priority(port)
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the
designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports con-
nected to a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the
designated port for the segment.

Description
Cost
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for
a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A
setting of 0 indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after
the link speed has been auto negotiated.
State
The state field shows the current state of the port. The state field can be either
BLOCKING, LISTENING, LEARNING, FORWARDING, or DISABLED.
Designated
Bridge
The Designated Bridge shows information about the bridge connected to
each port, if applicable. Information includes the priority (hex) and MAC
address of the Designated Bridge.
Designated Port
The identifier of the port on the Designated Bridge to which this port is con-
nected.

The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the maximum time the
bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit
before it reconfigures the STP network.
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time that a
bridge port has to wait before it changes from learning state to forwarding
state.
The aging time parameter specifies, in seconds, the amount of time the
bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the
station from the Forwarding Database.
Prio(port)
The port priority parameter helps determine which bridge port becomes the
designated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports con-
nected to a single segment, the port with the lowest port priority becomes the
designated port for the segment.
Cost
The port path cost parameter is used to help determine the designated port for
a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. A
setting of 0 indicates that the cost will be set to the appropriate default after
the link speed has been auto negotiated.

/info/l3/vrrp
VRRP Information
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on GbE Switch Module provides redun-
dancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP
address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual
routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control
of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will
assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
VRRP information:
1: vrid 2, 205.178.18.210, if 1, renter, prio 100, master, server
2: vrid 1, 205.178.18.202, if 1, renter, prio 100, backup
3: vrid 3, 205.178.18.204, if 1, renter, prio 100, master, proxy
When virtual routers are configured, you can view the status of each virtual router using this
command. VRRP information includes:
„
„
„
„
Virtual router number
Virtual router ID and IP address
Interface number
Ownership status
† owneridentifies the preferred master virtual router. A virtual router is the owner
when the IP address of the virtual router and its IP interface are the same.
† renteridentifies virtual routers which are not owned by this device.
„
„
Priority value. During the election process, the virtual router with the highest priority
becomes master.
Activity status
† masteridentifies the elected master virtual router.
† backupidentifies that the virtual router is in backup mode.
† initidentifies that the virtual router is waiting for a startup event.
For example, once it receives a startup event, it transitions to master if its priority
is 255, (the IP address owner), or transitions to backup if it is not the IP address
owner.
„
„
Server status. The serverstate identifies virtual routers.
Proxy status. The proxy state identifies virtual proxy routers, where the virtual router
shares the same IP address as a proxy IP address. The use of virtual proxy routers enables
redundant switches to share the same IP address, minimizing the number of unique IP
addresses that must be configured.

dot3StatsMultiple- A count of successfully transmitted frames on a particular interface for
CollisionFrames
which transmission is inhibited by more than one collision.
A frame that is counted by an instance of this object is also counted by the
corresponding instance of either the ifOutUcastPkts, ifOutMul-

dot3StatsLate-
Collisions
The number of times that a collision is detected on a particular interface
later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a packet.
Five hundred and twelve bit-times corresponds to 51.2 microseconds on a
10 Mbit/s system. A (late) collision included in a count represented by an
instance of this object is also considered as a (generic) collision for pur-
poses of other collision-related statistics.
dot3StatsExcessive A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails
Collisions due to excessive collisions.
dot3StatsInternal- A count of frames for which transmission on a particular interface fails
MacTransmitErrors
due to an internal MAC sub layer transmit error. A frame is only counted
by an instance of this object if it is not counted by the corresponding
instance of either the dot3StatsLateCollisionsobject, the
dot3StatsExcessiveCollisionsobject, or the dot3Stats-
CarrierSenseErrorsobject.
The precise meaning of the count represented by an instance of this object
is implementation-specific. In particular, an instance of this object may
represent a count of transmission errors on a particular interface that are
not otherwise counted.
dot3StatsFrameToo- A count of frames received on a particular interface that exceed the maxi-
Longs
mum permitted frame size.
The count represented by an instance of this object is incremented when
the frameTooLongstatus is returned by the MAC service to the LLC
(or other MAC user). Received frames for which multiple error condi-
tions obtained are, according to the conventions of IEEE 802.3 Layer
Management, counted exclusively according to the error status presented

Description
ifInOctets
The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing
characters.
ifInUcastPkts
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub- layer,
which were not addressed to a multicast or broadcast address at this sub-
layer.
ifInBroadcastPkts
ifInMulticastPkts
The number of packets, delivered by this sub-layer to a higher sub- layer,
which were addressed to a broadcast address at this sub-layer.
The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested to be
transmitted, and which were addressed to a multicast address at this sub-
layer, including those that were discarded or not sent. For a MAC layer
protocol, this includes both Group and Functional addresses.
ifInDiscards
ifInErrors
The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even
though no errors had been detected to prevent their being delivered to a
higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet
could be to free up buffer space.
For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that con-
tained errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer pro-
tocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of
inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from
being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

Statistics
Description
ipInReceives
The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including
those received in error.
ipInHdrErrors
ipInAddrErrors
The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP head-
ers, including bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format
errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP
options, and so forth.
The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their
IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this
entity (the switch). This count includes invalid addresses (for example,
0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (for example, Class E). For
entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward data-
grams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination
address was not a local address.
ipForwDatagrams
The number of input datagrams for which this entity (the switch) was not
their final IP destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find
a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities which do not
act as IP Gateways, this counter will include only those packets, which
were Source-Routed via this entity (the switch), and the Source- Route
option processing was successful.
ipInUnknownProtos
ipInDiscards
The number of locally addressed datagrams received successfully but dis-
carded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encoun-
tered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (for
example, for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include
any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.

Table 5-14 IP Statistics (stats/l3/ip)
Statistics
Description
ipInDelivers
The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-
protocols (including ICMP).
ipOutRequests
ipOutDiscards
The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols (includ-
ing ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this
counter does not include any datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams.
The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was
encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which
were discarded (for example, for lack of buffer space). Note that this
counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagramsif any
such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.
ipOutNoRoutes
ipReasmReqds
The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found
to transmit them to their destination. Note that this counter includes any
packets counted in ipForwDatagrams, which meet this no-route crite-
rion. Note that this includes any datagrams which a host cannot route
because all of its default gateways are down.
The number of IP fragments received which needed to be reassembled at
this entity (the switch).
ipReasmOKs
The number of IP datagrams successfully re- assembled.
ipReasmFails
The number of failures detected by the IP re- assembly algorithm (for
whatever reason: timed out, errors, and so forth). Note that this is not nec-
essarily a count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably
the algorithm in RFC 815) can lose track of the number of fragments by
combining them as they are received.
ipFragOKs
The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at
this entity (the switch).
ipFragFails
The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they
needed to be fragmented at this entity (the switch) but could not be, for
example, because their Don't Fragmentflag was set.
ipFragCreates
The number of IP datagram fragments that have been generated as a
result of fragmentation at this entity (the switch).
ipRoutingDiscards
The number of routing entries, which were chosen to be discarded even
though they are valid. One possible reason for discarding such an entry
could be to free-up buffer space for other routing entries.
ipDefaultTTL
The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live(TTL) field of the
IP header of datagrams originated at this entity (the switch), whenever a
TTL value is not supplied by the transport layer protocol.

/stats/l3/vrrp
VRRP Statistics
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the GbE Switch Module provides
redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual
router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of
the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and
assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup
virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
When virtual routers are configured, you can display the following protocol statistics for VRRP:
„

Advertisements received (vrrpInAdvers)
Advertisements transmitted (vrrpOutAdvers)
Advertisements received, but ignored (vrrpBadAdvers)

Statistics Description
snmpInASNParseErrs The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the SNMP pro-
tocol entity when decoding SNMP Messages received.
Note: OSI's method of specifying abstract objects is called ASN.1
(Abstract Syntax Notation One, defined in X.208), and one set of rules
for representing such objects as strings of ones and zeros is called the
BER (Basic Encoding Rules, defined in X.209). ASN.1 is a flexible nota-
tion that allows one to define a variety of data types, from simple types
such as integers and bit strings to structured types such as sets and
sequences. BER describes how to represent or encode values of each
ASN.1 type as a string of eight-bit octets.
snmpEnableAuth

An object to enable or disable the authentication traps generated by this
entity (the switch).
snmpOutPkts
The total number of SNMP Messages which were passed from the SNMP
protocol entity to the transport service.

The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) which were
delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the
error-status field is badValue.
The total number of valid SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which
were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of
the error-status field is `read-Only'. It should be noted that it is a protocol
error to generate an SNMP PDU, which contains the value `read-Only' in
the error-status field. As such, this object is provided as a means of
detecting incorrect implementations of the SNMP.
snmpInGenErrs
The total number of SNMP Protocol Data Units (PDUs), which were
delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the
error-status field is genErr.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Viewing, Applying, and Saving Changes
As you use the configuration menus to set switch parameters, the changes you make do not
take effect immediately. All changes are considered “pending” until you explicitly apply them.
Also, any changes are lost the next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly
saved.
NOTE – Some operations can override the settings in the Configuration menu. Therefore, set-
tings you view in the Configuration menu (for example, port status) might differ from run-time
information that you view in the Information menu or on the management module. The Infor-
mation menu displays current run-time information of switch parameters.
While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can do the following:
„
„
„
View the pending changes
Apply the pending changes
Save the changes to flash memory
Viewing Pending Changes
You can view all pending configuration changes by entering diffat the menu prompt.
NOTE – The diffcommand is a global command. Therefore, you can enter diffat any
prompt in the CLI.
Applying Pending Changes
To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration
changes, enter applyat any prompt in the CLI.
# apply
NOTE – The applycommand is a global command. Therefore, you can enter applyat any
prompt in the administrative interface.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Saving the Configuration
In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the
GbE Switch Module.
NOTE – If you do not save the changes, they will be lost the next time the system is rebooted.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any CLI prompt:
# save
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block.
The configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup configuration block.
If you do not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup configuration block,
enter the following instead:
# save n
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the switch. Your
options include:
„
„
„
The active configuration block
The backup configuration block
Factory default configuration
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash
memory using the diffflashcommand. It is a global command that can be executed from
any menu.
For instructions on selecting the configuration to run at the next system reset, see “Selecting a
Configuration Block” on page 336.

Alteon OS Command Reference
/cfg/sys/tacacs+
TACACS+ Server Configuration
TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control system) is an authentication protocol
that allows a remote access server to forward a user's logon password to an authentication
server to determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. TACACS is an
encryption protocol, and therefore less secure than TACACS+ and Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols. (Both TACACS and TACACS+ are described in
RFC 1492.)
TACACS+ protocol is more reliable than RADIUS, as TACACS+ uses the Transmission Con-
trol Protocol (TCP) whereas RADIUS uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Also,
RADIUS combines authentication and authorization in a user profile, whereas TACACS+
separates the two operations.
TACACS+ offers the following advantages over RADIUS as the authentication device:
„
„
„
TACACS+ is TCP-based, so it facilitates connection-oriented traffic.
It supports full-packet encryption, as opposed to password-only in authentication requests.
It supports de-coupled authentication, authorization, and accounting.

Alteon OS supports SNMP-based network management. In SNMP model of network manage-
ment, a management station (client/manager) accesses a set of variables known as MIBs (Man-
agement Information Base) provided by the managed device (agent). If you are running an
SNMP network management station on your network, you can manage the switch using the
following standard SNMP MIBs:
„
„
MIB II (RFC 1213)
Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643)
„
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
An SNMP agent is a software process on the managed device that listens on UDP port 161 for
SNMP messages. Each SNMP message sent to the agent contains a list of management objects
to retrieve or to modify.
SNMP parameters that can be modified include:
„

Temporarily Disabling a Port
To temporarily disable a port without changing its stored configuration attributes, enter the fol-
lowing command at any prompt:
Main# /oper/port <port alias or number>/dis
Because this configuration sets a temporary state for the port, you do not need to use applyor
save. The port state will revert to its original configuration when the GbE Switch Module is
reset. See the “Operations Menu” on page 324 for other operations-level commands.

Configures the CIST port path cost. The port path cost is used to help determine the designated
port for a segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost.
The default is 2000 for 10 Gigabit ports, 20000 for Gigabit ports.
hello <1-10 seconds>
Configures the CIST port Hello time.The Hello time specifies how often the root bridge transmits
a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the
root bridge Hello value. The range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default is 2 seconds.
link <auto, p2p, or shared; default: auto>
Defines the type of link connected to the port, as follows:
auto: Configures the port to detect the link type, and automatically match its settings.
p2p: Configures the port for Point-To-Point protocol.
shared: Configures the port to connect to a shared medium (usually a hub).
The default link type is auto.

Bridge aging time
Table 6-43 Spanning Tree Bridge Menu Options (/cfg/l2/stg/brg)
Command Syntax and Usage
prior <new bridge priority (0-65535)>
Configures the bridge priority. The bridge priority parameter controls which bridge on the network
is the STG root bridge. To make this switch the root bridge, configure the bridge priority lower
than all other switches and bridges on your network. The lower the value, the higher the bridge pri-
ority. The range is 0 to 65535, and the default is 32768.
RSTP/MSTP: The range is 0 to 61440, in steps of 4096 (0, 4096, 8192...), and the default
is 32768.
hello <new bridge hello time (1-10 secs)>
Configures the bridge hello time.The hello time specifies how often the root bridge transmits a
configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root
bridge hello value. The range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default is 2 seconds.
mxage <new bridge max age (6-40 secs)>
Configures the bridge maximum age. The maximum age parameter specifies the maximum time
the bridge waits without receiving a configuration bridge protocol data unit before it re configures
the STG network. The range is 6 to 40 seconds, and the default is 20 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP (see CIST on page 227).

of time that a bridge port has to wait before it changes from the listening state to the learning state
and from the learning state to the forwarding state. The range is 4 to 30 seconds, and the default is
15 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP (see CIST on page 227).
aging <new bridge Aging Time (1-65535 secs, 0 to disable)>
Configures the forwarding database aging time. The aging time specifies the amount of time the
bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the for-
warding database. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds, and the default is 300 seconds. To disable
aging, set this parameter to 0.

prior <new port Priority (0-255)>
Configures the port priority. The port priority helps determine which bridge port becomes the des-
ignated port. In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports connected to a single segment,
the port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment. The default
value is 128.
RSTP/MSTP: The range is 0 to 240, in steps of 16 (0, 16, 32...) and the default is 128.
cost <new port Path Cost (1-65535, 0 for default)>
Configures the port path cost. The port path cost is used to help determine the designated port for a
segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the lower the path cost. The default is 19 for
100Mbps ports, 4 for 1Gb ports. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the default cost will be com-
puted for an auto negotiated link speed.
link <auto, p2p, or shared; default: auto>
Defines the type of link connected to the port, as follows:
auto: Configures the port to detect the link type, and automatically match its settings.

/cfg/l3/arp
ARP Configuration
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet
layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local
network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its
cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to see if the IP address of
the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the corresponding physical
address is used to send a packet.

ARP Static Configuration
Static ARP entries are permanent in the ARP cache and do not age out like the ARP entries that
are learnt dynamically. Static ARP entries enable the switch to reach the hosts without sending
an ARP broadcast request to the network. Static ARPs are also useful to communicate with
devices that do not respond to ARP requests. Static ARPs can also be configured on some gate-
ways as a protection against malicious ARP Cache corruption and possible DOS attacks.

areaid <IP address (such as, 192.4.17.101)>
Defines the IP address of the OSPF area number.
type transit|stub|nssa
Defines the type of area. For example, when a virtual link has to be established with the backbone,
the area type must be defined as transit.
Transit area: allows area summary information to be exchanged between routing devices. Any
area that is not a stub area or NSSA is considered to be transit area.
Stub area: is an area where external routing information is not distributed. Typically, a stub area is
connected to only one other area.
NSSA: Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) is similar to stub area with additional capabilities. For exam-
ple, routes originating from within the NSSA can be propagated to adjacent transit and backbone
areas. External routes from outside the Autonomous System (AS) can be advertised within the
NSSA but are not distributed into other areas.
metric <metric value (1-65535)>
Configures a stub area to send a numeric metric value. All routes received via that stub area carry
the configured metric to potentially influencing routing decisions.
Metric value assigns the priority for choosing the switch for default route. Metric type determines
the method for influencing routing decisions for external routes.
auth none|password|md5
None: No authentication required.
Password: Authenticates simple passwords so that only trusted routing devices can participate.
MD5: This parameter is used when MD5 cryptographic authentication is required.
spf <interval (1-255)>
Sets time interval between two successive SPF (shortest path first) calculations of the shortest path
tree using the Dijkstra’s algorithm.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an Internet protocol that enables routers on a network to
share routing information with each other and advertise information about the segments of the
IP address space they can access within their network with routers on external networks. BGP
allows you to decide what is the “best” route for a packet to take from your network to a desti-
nation on another network, rather than simply setting a default route from your border router(s)
to your upstream provider(s). You can configure BGP either within an autonomous system or
between different autonomous systems. When run within an autonomous system, it's called
internal BGP (iBGP). When run between different autonomous systems, it's called external
BGP (eBGP). BGP is defined in RFC 1771.
The BGP Menu enables you to configure the switch to receive routes and to advertise static
routes, fixed routes and virtual server IP addresses with other internal and external routers. In
the current Alteon OS implementation, the GbE Switch Module does not advertise BGP routes
that are learned from other BGP “speakers”.
The BGP menu option is turned off by default.
NOTE – Fixed routes are subnet routes. There is one fixed route per IP interface.
Command Syntax and Usage
peer <peer number (1-16)>
Displays the menu used to configure each BGP peer. Each border router, within an autonomous
system, exchanges routing information with routers on other external networks. To view menu
options, see page 281.

Sets connection retry interval, in seconds.
orig <min orig time (1-65535)>
Sets the minimum time between route originations, in seconds.
ttl <number of router hops (1-255)>
Time-to-live (TTL) is a value in an IP packet that tells a network router whether or not the packet
has been in the network too long and should be discarded. TTL specifies a certain time span in sec-
onds that, when exhausted, would cause the packet to be discarded. The TTL is determined by the
number of router hops the packet is allowed before it must be discarded.
This command specifies the number of router hops that the IP packet can make. This value is used
to restrict the number of “hops” the advertisement makes. It is also used to support multi-hops,
which allow BGP peers to talk across a routed network. The default number is set at 1.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on GbE Switch Modules provides redun-
dancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP
address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual
routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control
of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will
assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
By default, VRRP is disabled. Alteon OS has extended VRRP to include virtual servers as
well, allowing for full active/active redundancy between switches. For more information on
VRRP, see the “High Availability” chapter in the Alteon OS Application Guide.

This menu is used for configuring virtual routers for this switch. A virtual router is defined by
its virtual router ID and an IP address. On each VRRP-capable routing device participating in
redundancy for this virtual router, a virtual router will be configured to share the same virtual
router ID and IP address.
Virtual routers are disabled by default.
Command Syntax and Usage
track
Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for this virtual router. Tracking is an Alteon OS pro-
prietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority system used for electing the
master router. To view menu options, see page 301.
vrid <virtual router ID (1-1024)>
Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with addr(below) to define a virtual
router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled routing devices which can provide redun-
dancy to each other, each participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual
router: one that shares the same vridand addrcombination.
The vridfor virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not the same as any virtual
server) can be any integer between 1 and 1024. The default value is 1.
All vridvalues must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP interface
belongs.
addr <IP address (such as, 192.4.17.101)>
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation. This is used in conjunc-
tion with the vrid(above) to configure the same virtual router on each participating VRRP
device. The default address is 0.0.0.0.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Table 6-97 VRRP Virtual Router Menu Options (/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr)
Command Syntax and Usage
if <interface number (1-127)>
Selects a switch IP interface. If the IP interface has the same IP address as the addroption above,
this switch is considered the “owner” of the defined virtual router. An owner has a special priority
of 255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it must preempt another
virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This preemption occurs even if the
preemoption below is disabled. The default value is 1.
prio <priority (1-254)>
Defines the election priority bias for this virtual server. This can be any integer between 1 and 254.
The default value is 100.
During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest virtual router priority
number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP interface address wins. If this virtual
router’s IP address (addr) is the same as the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this vir-
tual router will automatically be set to 255 (highest).
When priority tracking is used (/cfg/l3/vrrp/trackor /cfg/l3/vrrp/vr#/track),
this base priority value can be modified according to a number of performance and operational cri-
teria.
adver <seconds (1-255)>
Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any integer between 1
and 255 seconds. The default value is 1.
preem disable|enable
Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if this virtual router is in backup mode but
has a higher priority than the current master, this virtual router will preempt the lower priority mas-
ter and assume control. Note that even when preemis disabled, this virtual router will always pre-
empt any other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface address and virtual router addr
are the same). By default, this option is enabled.

ports - Enable/disable tracking VLAN switch ports
cur - Display current VRRP virtual router configuration
This menu is used for modifying the priority system used when electing the master router from
a pool of virtual routers. Various tracking criteria can be used to bias the election results. Each
time one of the tracking criteria is met, the priority level for the virtual router is increased by an
amount defined through the VRRP Tracking Menu (see page 306).
Criteria are tracked dynamically, continuously updating virtual router priority levels when
enabled. If the virtual router preemption option (see preemin Table 6-97 on page 299) is
enabled, this virtual router can assume master routing authority when its priority level rises
above that of the current master.
Some tracking criteria (vrs, ifs, and portsbelow) apply to standard virtual routers, other-
wise called “virtual interface routers.” A virtual server router is defined as any virtual router
whose IP address (addr) is the same as any configured virtual server IP address.
Table 6-98 Virtual Router Priority Tracking Menu Options (/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track)
Command Syntax and Usage
vrs disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each virtual router in master
mode on this switch. This is useful for making sure that traffic for any particular client/server pair-
ing are handled by the same switch, increasing routing and load balancing efficiency. This com-
mand is disabled by default.
ifs disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each other IP interface active
on this switch. An IP interface is considered active when there is at least one active port on the
same VLAN. This helps elect the virtual routers with the most available routes as the master. This
command is disabled by default.
ports disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each active port on the same
VLAN. A port is considered “active” if it has a link and is forwarding traffic. This helps elect the
virtual routers with the most available ports as the master. This command is disabled by default.

Alteon OS Command Reference
Updating the Switch Software Image
The switch software image is the executable code running on the GbE Switch Module. A version
of the image ships with the switch, and comes pre-installed on the device. As new versions of
the image are released, you can upgrade the software running on your switch. To get the latest
version of software available for your GbE Switch Module, go to:
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support
Click on software updates. Use the /boot/curcommand to determine the current
software version.
The typical upgrade process for the software image consists of the following steps:
„
„
„
Place the new image onto a FTP or TFTP server on your network, or on a local computer.
Transfer the new image to your switch.
Select the new software image to be loaded into switch memory the next time the switch is
reset.
Loading New Software to Your Switch
The switch can store up to two different software images, called image1and image2, as
well as boot software, called boot. When you load new software, you must specify where it
should be placed: either into image1, image2, or boot.
For example, if your active image is currently loaded into image1, you would probably load
the new image software into image2. This lets you test the new software and reload the origi-
nal active image (stored in image1), if needed.
Using the BBI
You can use the Browser-Based Interface to load software onto the GbESM. The software
image to load can reside in one of the following locations:
„
„
„
FTP server
TFTP server
Local computer
After you log onto the BBI, perform the following steps to load a software image:
1. Click the Configure context button in the toolbar.
2. In the Navigation Window, select System > Config/Image Control.

Selecting a Configuration Block
When you make configuration changes to the GbE Switch Module, you must save the changes so
that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you perform the save
command, your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The
previous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory
when your GbE Switch Module was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desir-
able to reset the switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured
GbE Switch Module is moved to a network environment where it will be re configured for a differ-
ent purpose.
Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the
next time it is reset:
1. At the BootOptions#prompt, enter:

/maint/uudmp
Uuencode Flash Dump
Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes
it easy to capture the dump information as a file or a string of characters.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your
workstation to capture session data prior to issuing the uudmpcommand. This will ensure that
you do not lose any information. Once entered, the uudmpcommand will cause approximately
Using the uudmpcommand, dump information can be read multiple times. The command
does not cause the information to be updated or cleared from flash memory.
NOTE – Dump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump
information to be written to flash memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For more
information on clearing the dump region, see page 350.
To access dump information, at the Maintenance#prompt, enter:
Maintenance# uudmp
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communi-
cation software to do so, captured to a file. If the dump region is empty, the following appears:

Alteon OS SNMP Agent
The Alteon OS SNMP agent supports SNMP version 3. Security is provided through SNMP
community strings. The default community strings are “public” for SNMPGEToperation and
“private” for SNMPSEToperation. The community string can be modified only through the
Command Line Interface (CLI). Alteon WebSystems is registered as Vendor 1872. Detailed
SNMP MIBs and trap definitions of the Alteon OS SNMP agent are contained in the following
Alteon OS enterprise MIB document:
GbESM-1G-2223.mib
Users may specify up to two trap hosts for receiving SNMP Traps. The agent will send the
SNMP Trap to the specified hosts when appropriate. Traps are not sent if there is no host spec-
ified.
Alteon OS SNMP agent supports the following standard MIBs:
„ rfc1213.mib
„ rfc1215.mib
„ rfc1493.mib
„ rfc1573.mib
„ rfc1643.mib
„ rfc1757.mib

Glossary
DIP (Destination IP
Address)
The destination IP address of a frame.
Dport (Destination
Port)
The destination port (application socket: for example, http-80/https-443/DNS-53)
NAT (Network Address Any time an IP address is changed from one source IP or destination IP address to another
Translation)
address, network address translation can be said to have taken place. In general, half NAT
is when the destination IP or source IP address is changed from one address to another.
Full NAT is when both addresses are changed from one address to another. No NAT is
when neither source nor destination IP addresses are translated.
Preemption
Priority
In VRRP, preemption will cause a Virtual Router that has a lower priority to go into
backup should a peer Virtual Router start advertising with a higher priority.
In VRRP, the value given to a Virtual Router to determine its ranking with its peer(s). Min-
imum value is 1 and maximum value is 254. Default is 100. A higher number will win out
for master designation.
Proto (Protocol)
The protocol of a frame. Can be any value represented by a 8-bit value in the IP header
adherent to the IP specification (for example, TCP, UDP, OSPF, ICMP, and so on.)
SIP (Source IP Address) The source IP address of a frame.
SPort (Source Port)
Tracking
The source port (application socket: for example, HTTP-80/HTTPS-443/DNS-53).
In VRRP, a method to increase the priority of a virtual router and thus master designation
(with preemption enabled). Tracking can be very valuable in an active/active configuration.
You can track the following:
„ ifs: Active IP interfaces on the GbE Switch Module (increments priority by 2 for
each)
„ ports: Active ports on the same VLAN (increments priority by 2 for each)
„ vrs: Number of virtual routers in master mode on the switch

Alteon OS Command Reference
VIR (Virtual Interface
Router)
A VRRP address that is an IP interface address shared between two or more virtual routers.
Virtual Router
A shared address between two devices utilizing VRRP, as defined in RFC 2338. One vir-
tual router is associated with an IP interface. This is one of the IP interfaces that the switch
is assigned. All IP interfaces on the GbE Switch Module must be in a VLAN. If there is
more than one VLAN defined on the GbE Switch Module, then the VRRP broadcasts will
only be sent out on the VLAN of which the associated IP interface is a member.
VRID (Virtual Router
Identifier)
In VRRP, a value between 1 and 1024 that is used by each virtual router to create its MAC
address and identify its peer for which it is sharing this VRRP address. The standard
VRRP MAC address as defined in the RFC is 00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID}. For virtual rout-
ers with a VRID greater than 255, the following block of MAC addresses is allocated:
00:0F:6A:9A:40:00 - 00:0F:6A:9A:47:FF
If you have a VRRP address shared between two switches, then the VRID must be identi-
cal on both switches so each virtual router on each switch knows with whom to share.
VRRP (Virtual Router
A protocol that acts very similarly to Cisco's proprietary HSRP address sharing protocol.
Redundancy Protocol) The reason for both of these protocols is so devices have a next hop or default gateway that
is always available. Two or more devices sharing an IP interface are either advertising or
listening for advertisements. These advertisements are sent via a broadcast message to an
address such as 224.0.0.18.
With VRRP, one switch is considered the master and the other the backup. The master is
always advertising via the broadcasts. The backup switch is always listening for the broad-
casts. Should the master stop advertising, the backup will take over ownership of the
VRRP IP and MAC addresses as defined by the specification. The switch announces this
change in ownership to the devices around it by way of a Gratuitous ARP, and advertise-
ments. If the backup switch didn't do the Gratuitous ARP the Layer 2 devices attached to
the switch would not know that the MAC address had moved in the network. For a more
detailed description, refer to RFC 2338.
