CLI Basics
This chapter describes the command structure and command modes. FTOS commands are in a text-based interface that allows you to launch commands, change the command modes, and configure interfaces and protocols.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Accessing the Command Line
• Multiple Configuration Users
• Navigating the Command Line Interface - Obtaining Help
• Using the Keyword No
• Filtering show Commands - Command Modes
Accessing the Command Line
When the system boots successfully, you are positioned on the command line in the EXEC mode and not prompted to log in. You can access the commands through a serial console port or a Telnet session. When you Telnet into the switch, you are prompted to enter a login name and password.
Figure 2-1 is an example of a successful Telnet login session.
Figure 2-1. Login Example
telnet 172.31.1.53
Trying 172.31.1.53...
Connected to 172.31.1.53.
Escape character is '^]'.
Login: username
Password:
FTOS>
Once you log into the switch, the prompt provides you with current command-level information (refer to Table 2-1).
Multiple Configuration Users
When a user enters the CONFIGURATION mode and another user(s) is already in that configuration mode, FTOS generates an alert warning message similar to the following:
Figure 2-2. Configuration Mode User Alert
FTOS#conf
% Warning: The following users are currently configuring the system:
User "" on line console0
User "admin" on line vty0 (123.12.1.123)
User "admin" on line vty1 (123.12.1.123)
User "Irene" on line vty3 (123.12.1.321)
FTOS#conf
When another user enters the CONFIGURATION mode, FTOS sends a message similar to the following, where the user in this case is “admin” on vty2:
% Warning: User "admin" on line vty2 "172.16.1.210" is in configuration
Navigating the Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt displayed by FTOS is comprised of:
- “hostname”— the initial part of the prompt, “FTOS” by default. You can change it with the hostname command, as described in hostname.
• The second part of the prompt, reflecting the current CLI mode, as shown in Table 2-1.
The CLI prompt changes as you move up and down the levels of the command structure. Table 2-1 lists the prompts and their corresponding command levels, called modes. Starting with the CONFIGURATION mode, the command prompt adds modifiers to further identify the mode. The command modes are explained in Command Modes.

Note: Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.

Obtaining Help
As soon as you are in a command mode there are several ways to access help.
• To obtain a list of keywords at any command mode, do the following:
— Enter a ? at the prompt or after a keyword. There must always be a space before the ?.
• To obtain a list of keywords with a brief functional description, do the following:
— Enter help at the prompt.
• To obtain a list of available options, do the following:
— Type a keyword followed by a space and a ?
- Type a partial keyword followed by a ?
— A display of keywords beginning with the partial keyword is listed.
Figure 2-3 illustrates the results of entering ip ? at the prompt.

When entering commands, you can take advantage of the following timesaving features:
- The commands are not case sensitive.
- You can enter partial (truncated) command keywords. For example, you can enter int gig int interface for the interface gigabitethernet interface command.
- Use the TAB key to complete keywords in commands.
- Use the up arrow key to display the last enabled command.
• Use either the Backspace key or the Delete key to erase the previous character.
Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate left or right in the FTOS command line. Table 2-2 defines the key combinations valid at the FTOS command line.
Table 2-2. Short-cut Keys and their Actions
| Key Combination Action | |
| CNTL-A Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line. | |
| CNTL-B Moves the cursor back one character. | |
| CNTL-D Deletes character at cursor. | |
| CNTL-E Moves the cursor to the end of the line. | |
| CNTL-F Moves the cursor forward one character. | |
| CNTL-I Completes a keyword. | |
| CNTL-K Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the command line. | |
| CNTL-L Re-enters the previous command. | |
| CNTL-N Return to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling commands with Ctrl-P or the up arrow key | |
| CNTL-P Recalls commands, beginning with the last command | |
| CNTL-R Re-enters the previous command. | |
| CNTL-U Deletes the line. | |
| CNTL-W Deletes the previous word. | |
| CNTL-X Deletes the line. | |
| CNTL-Z Ends continuous scrolling of command outputs. | |
| Esc B Moves the cursor back one word. | |
| Esc F Moves the cursor forward one word. | |
| Esc D | Deletes all characters from the cursor to the end of the word. |
Using the Keyword No
To disable, delete, or return to default values, use the no form of the commands. For most commands, if you type the keyword no in front of the command, you will disable that command or delete it from the running configuration. In this document, the no form of the command is discussed in the Command Syntax portion of the command description.
Filtering show Commands
You can filter the display output of a show command to find specific information, to display certain information only, or to begin the command output at the first instance of a regular expression or phrase.
When you execute a show command, followed by a pipe ( | ) and one of the parameters listed below and a regular expression, the resulting output either excludes or includes those parameters, as defined by the parameter:
• display — display additional configuration information
- except— display only text that does not match the pattern (or regular expression)
• find — search for the first occurrence of a pattern - grep — display text that matches a pattern
• no-more — do not paginate the display output
• save - copy output to a file for future use

Note: FTOS accepts a space before or after the pipe, no space before or after the pipe, or any combination. For example:
FTOS#command | grep gigabit | except regular-expression | find regular-expression
The grep command option has an ignore-case sub-option that makes the search case-insensitive. For example, the commands:
• show run | grep Ethernet would return a search result with instances containing a capitalized "Ethernet," such as interface GigabitEthernet 0/0.
• show run | grep ethernet would not return the search result, above, because it only searches for instances containing a non-capitalized “ethernet.”
Executing the command show run | grep Ethernet ignore-case would return instances containing both “Ethernet” and “ethernet.”
Displaying All Output
To display the output all at once (not one screen at a time), use the no-more after the pipe. This is similar to the terminal length screen-length command except that the no-more option affects the output of just the specified command. For example:
FTOS#show running-config|no-more
Filtering Command Output Multiple Times
You can filter a single command output multiple times. Place the save option as the last filter. For example:
FTOS# command | grep regular-expression | except regular-expression | grep other-regular-expression | find regular-expression | no-more | save
Command Modes
To navigate to various CLI modes, you need to use specific commands to launch each mode. Navigation to these modes is discussed in the following sections.

Note: Some of the following modes are not available on C-Series or S-Series.
EXEC Mode
When you initially log in to the switch, by default, you are logged into the EXEC mode. This mode allows you to view settings and to enter the EXEC Privilege mode to configure the device. While you are in the EXEC mode, the > prompt is displayed following the “hostname” prompt, as described above. which is “FTOS” by default. You can change it with the hostname command. See the command hostname. Each mode prompt is preceded by the hostname.
EXEC Privilege Mode
The enable command accesses the EXEC Privilege mode. If an administrator has configured an "Enable" password, you will be prompted to enter it here.
The EXEC Privilege mode allows you to access all commands accessible in EXEC mode, plus other commands, such as to clear ARP entries and IP addresses. In addition, you can access the CONFIGURATION mode to configure interfaces, routes, and protocols on the switch. While you are logged in to the EXEC Privilege mode, the # prompt is displayed.
CONFIGURATION Mode
In the EXEC Privilege mode, use the configure command to enter the CONFIGURATION mode and configure routing protocols and access interfaces.
To enter the CONFIGURATION mode:
- Verify that you are logged in to the EXEC Privilege mode.
- Enter the configure command. The prompt changes to include (conf).
From this mode, you can enter INTERFACE by using the interface command.
INTERFACE Mode
Use the INTERFACE mode to configure interfaces or IP services on those interfaces. An interface can be physical (for example, a Gigabit Ethernet port) or virtual (for example, the Null interface).
To enter INTERFACE mode:
- Verify that you are logged into the CONFIGURATION mode.
- Enter the interface command followed by an interface type and interface number that is available on the switch.
- The prompt changes to include the designated interface and slot/port number, as outlined in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3. Interface prompts
| Prompt Interface Type | |
| FTOS(conf-if)# INTERFACE mode | |

- Enter the ip trace-list command. You must include the name of the Trace list. The prompt changes to include (conf-trace-acl).
You can exit this mode by using the exit command.
MAC ACCESS LIST Mode
While in the CONFIGURATION mode, use the mac access-list standard or mac access-list extended command to enter the MAC ACCESS LIST mode and configure either standard or extended access control lists (ACL).
To enter MAC ACCESS LIST mode:
- Verify that you are logged in to the CONFIGURATION mode.
- Use the mac access-list standard or mac access-list extended command. You must include a name for the ACL. The prompt changes to include (conf-std-macl) or (conf-ext-macl).
You can return to the CONFIGURATION mode by entering the exit command.
IP ACCESS LIST Mode
While in the CONFIGURATION mode, use the ip access-list standard or ip access-list extended command to enter the IP ACCESS LIST mode and configure either standard or extended access control lists (ACL).
To enter IP ACCESS LIST mode:
- Verify that you are logged in to the CONFIGURATION mode.
- Use the ip access-list standard or ip access-list extended command. You must include a name for the ACL. The prompt changes to include (conf-std-nacl) or (conf-ext-nacl).
You can return to the CONFIGURATION mode by entering the exit command.
ROUTE-MAP Mode
While in the CONFIGURATION mode, use the route-map command to enter the ROUTE-MAP mode and configure a route map.
To enter ROUTE-MAP mode:
- Verify that you are logged in to the CONFIGURATION mode.
- Use the route-map map-name [permit | deny] [sequence-number] command. The prompt changes to include (route-map).
You can return to the CONFIGURATION mode by entering the exit command.
PREFIX-LIST Mode
While in the CONFIGURATION mode, use the ip prefix-list command to enter the PREFIX-LIST mode and configure a prefix list.
To enter PREFIX-LIST mode:
- Verify that you are logged in to the CONFIGURATION mode.
- Enter the ip prefix-list command. You must include a name for the prefix list. The prompt changes to include (conf-nprefix1).
You can return to the CONFIGURATION mode by entering the exit command.

Syntax
boot config {remote-first | rpm0 file-url | rpm1 file-url}
To return to the default setting, enter no boot config {remote-first | rpm0 | rpm1}.
Parameters
| remote-first | Enter the keywords remote-first to attempt to load the boot configuration files from a remote location. |
| rpm0 | Enter the keywords rpm0 first to specify the local boot configuration file for RPM 0. |
| rpm1 | Enter the keywords rpm1 first to specify the local boot configuration file for RPM 1. |

Command Modes
CONFIGURATION
Command History
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
E-Series original Command
Usage Information
To display these changes in the show bootvar command output, you must save the running configuration to the startup configuration (copy running-config startup-config or write).
Dell Networking strongly recommends using local files for configuration (RPM0 or RPM1 flash or slot0).
When you specify a file as the boot config file, it is listed in the boot variables (bootvar) as LOCAL CONFIG FILE. If you do not specify a boot config file, then the startup-configuration is used, although the bootvar shows LOCAL CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist. When you specify a boot config file, the switch reloads with that config file, rather than the startup-config. Note that if you specify a local config file which is not present in the specified location, then the startup-configuration is loaded.
The write memory command always saves the running-configuration to the file labeled startup-configuration. When using a LOCAL CONFIG FILE other than the startup-config, use the copy command to save any running-configuration changes to that local file.

Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on S-Series and added SSH port number to SCP prompt sequence on all systems.
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
E-Series original Command
Usage Information
FTOS supports a maximum of 100 files, at the root directory level, on both the internal and external Flash.
The usbflash and rpm0usbflash commands are supported on E-Series ExaScale platform only. Refer to the FTOS Release Notes for a list of approved USB vendors.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy (SCP)), enter only the keywords and FTOS prompts you for the rest of the information.
For example, when using SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp:
The running-config is the source, and the target is specified in the ensuing prompts. FTOS prompts you to enter any required information, as needed for the named destination—remote destination, destination filename, user ID and password, etc.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running configuration (the startup configuration file amended by any configuration changes made since the system was started) to the startup configuration file, FTOS creates a backup file on the internal flash of the startup configuration.
FTOS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server:
copy running-config tftp:
copy running-config ftp:
Command Example: copy running-config scp:
FTOS#copy running-config scp:/
Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.1
Destination file name [startup-config]? old_running
User name to login remote host? home
Password to login remote host? home
In this example — copy scp: flash: — specifying SCP in the first position indicates that the target is to be specified in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second position means that the target is the internal Flash. In this example the source is on a secure server running SSH, so the user is prompted for the UDP port of the SSH server on the remote host.
Using scp to copy from an SSH Server
FTOS#copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.11.199.134
Port number of the server [22]: 99
Source file name []: test.cfg
User name to login remote host: admin
Password to login remote host:
Destination file name [test.cfg]: test1.cfg

Usage Information
You save the configuration and reload the chassis for the changes to the epoch command setting to take affect.
When using 10 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 and 2.4 settings are both linearate. Additionally, the 2.4 setting has a lower latency.
When using 9 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis, the 10.4 setting is linearate; the 2.4 setting reduces throughput. Dell Networking recommends using the 10.4 setting when the system has 9 SFMs.
Using 8 SFMs in an ExaScale chassis reduces throughput at any epoch setting.

Note: The E300 supports only the 10.4 epoch setting. The E-Series TeraScale E600/E600i and the E1200/E1200i systems support the 10.4 and the 3.2 epoch settings.

Note: For E-Series ExaScale, the 2.4 setting is supported on FTOS version 8.3.1.0 and later. The 10.4 setting is supported on all ExaScale FTOS versions. The 3.2 setting is only supported on FTOS versions 8.2.1.0 and earlier.

Usage Information
Traffic statistics are sorted on a per-interface basis; the interface receiving the most traffic is displayed first. All CPU and port information is displayed unless a specific port or CPU is specified. Traffic information is displayed for router ports only; not for management interfaces. The traffic statistics are collected only after the debug cpu-traffic-stats command is executed; not from the system bootup.

Note: After debugging is complete, use the no debug cpu-traffic-stats command to shut off traffic statistics collection.

Command History
| 8.3.5.3 Updated to support PPID on the S55 | |
| Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale | |
| Version 7.8.1.0 Output expanded to include SFP+ media in C-Series. | |
| Version 7.7.1.0 Vendor field removed from output of show inventory media. | |
| Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series and expanded to include transceiver media |
Version 6.2.1.0 Expanded to include Software Protocol Configured field on E-Series
Version 5.3.1.0 Introduced on E-Series
Usage Information
The show inventory media command provides some details about installed pluggable media (SFP, XFP), as shown in Figure 4-23. Use the show interfaces command to get more details about installed pluggable media.
The display output might include a double asterisk ( ^** ) next to the SFMs, for example:
$$ \begin{array}{l l l l l l} \ddots & & \text {CC - E - SFM} * * & 0 0 0 4 8 7 5 & 7 4 9 0 0 0 7 4 1 1 & \text {A} \ 1 & & \text {CC - E - SFM} * * & 0 0 0 4 8 8 9 & 7 4 9 0 0 0 7 4 1 1 & \text {A} \ \dots & & \end{array} $$
The double asterisk generally indicates the SFM's frequency capabilities, indicating either that they are operating at 125 MHz or that the frequency capability, which is stored in an EPROM, cannot be determined.
If there are no fiber ports in the line card, then just the header under show inventory media will be displayed. If there are fiber ports but no optics inserted, then the output will display "Media not present or accessible".

Usage Information
The output for show memory displays the memory usage of LP part (sysdlp) of the system. The Sysdlp is an aggregate task that handles all the tasks running on C-Series' and E-Series' LP.
In FTOS Release 7.4.1.0 and higher, the total counter size (for all 3 CPUs) in show memory (C-Series and E-Series) and show processes memory (C-Series and E-Series) will differ based on which FTOS processes are counted.
- In the show memory (C-Series and E-Series) display output, the memory size is equal to the size of the application processes.
- In the show processes memory (C-Series and E-Series) display output, the memory size is equal to the size of the application processes plus the size of the system processes.

Example 4 Figure 4-45. Command Example: show processes ipc flow-control on S-Series

Usage Information The Single Window Protocol (SWP) provides flow control-based reliable communication between the sending and receiving software tasks.
Important Points to Remember
- A sending task enqueues messages into the SWP queue3 for a receiving task and waits for an acknowledgement.
- If no response is received within a defined period of time, the SWP timeout mechanism resubmits the message at the head of the FIFO queue.
- After retrying a defined number of times, the following timeout message is generated:
SWP-2-NOMORETIMEOUT - In the display output in Figure 4-45, a retry (Retries) value of zero indicates that the SWP mechanism reached the maximum number of retransmissions without an acknowledgement.

| Version 7.4.1.0 | Added lp all and lp summary options |
| Version 6.5.1.0 | For rp1 and rp2 only, the output displays memory consumption of all the processes including a summary (see Figure 4-47 and Figure 4-48. |
Usage Information
The output for show process memory displays the memory usage statistics running on CP part (sysd) of the system. The Sysd is an aggregate task that handles all the tasks running on C-Series' and E-Series' CP.
In FTOS Release 7.4.1.0 and higher, the total counter size (for all 3 CPUs) in show memory and show processes memory will differ based on which FTOS processes are counted.
- In the show memory (C-Series and E-Series) display output, the memory size is equal to the size of the application processes.
- In the show processes memory (C-Series and E-Series) display output, the memory size is equal to the size of the application processes plus the size of the system processes.

802.1X
The 802.1X Port Authentication commands are:
- debug dot1x
- dot1x auth-type mab-only
- dot1x authentication (Interface)
- dot1x auth-fail-vlan
- dot1x auth-server

- dot1x reauthentication
- dot1x reauth-max
- dot1x server-timeout
- dot1x supplicant-timeout
- dot1x tx-period
• show dot1x cos-mapping interface
• show dot1x interface
An authentication server must authenticate a client connected to an 802.1X switch port. Until the authentication, only EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) traffic is allowed through the port to which a client is connected. Once authentication is successful, normal traffic passes through the port.
FTOS supports RADIUS and Active Directory environments using 802.1X Port Authentication.
Important Points to Remember
FTOS limits network access for certain users by using VLAN assignments. 802.1X with VLAN assignment has these characteristics when configured on the switch and the RADIUS server.
- 802.1X is supported on C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series.
- 802.1X is not supported on the LAG or the channel members of a LAG.
- If no VLAN is supplied by the RADIUS server or if 802.1X authorization is disabled, the port is configured in its access VLAN after successful authentication.
- If 802.1X authorization is enabled but the VLAN information from the RADIUS server is not valid, the port returns to the unauthorized state and remains in the configured access VLAN. This prevents ports from appearing unexpectedly in an inappropriate VLAN due to a configuration error. Configuration errors create an entry in Syslog.
- If 802.1X authorization is enabled and all information from the RADIUS server is valid, the port is placed in the specified VLAN after authentication.
- If port security is enabled on an 802.1X port with VLAN assignment, the port is placed in the RADIUS server assigned VLAN.
- If 802.1X is disabled on the port, it is returned to the configured access VLAN.
- When the port is in the force authorized, force unauthorized, or shutdown state, it is placed in the configured access VLAN.
- If an 802.1X port is authenticated and put in the RADIUS server assigned VLAN, any change to the port access VLAN configuration will not take effect.
- The 802.1X with VLAN assignment feature is not supported on trunk ports, dynamic ports, or with dynamic-access port assignment through a VLAN membership.

| Usage Information | The prerequisites for enabling MAB-only authentication on a port are:802.1X authentication must be enabled globally on the switch and on the port (dot1x authentication command).MAC authentication bypass must be enabled on the port (dot1x mac-auth-bypass command).In MAB-only authentication mode, a port authenticates using the host MAC address even though 802.1xauthentication is enabled. If the MAB-only authentication fails, the host is placed in the guest VLAN (if configured).To disable MAB-only authentication on a port, enter the no dot1x auth-type mab-only command. |

Command History
Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on C-Series, E-Series and S-Series
Usage Information
If the host responds to 802.1X with an incorrect login/password, the login fails. The switch will attempt to authenticate again until the maximum attempts configured is reached. If the authentication fails after all allowed attempts, the interface is moved to the authentication failed VLAN.
Once the authentication VLAN is assigned, the port-state must be toggled to restart authentication. Authentication will occur at the next re-authentication interval (dot1x reauthentication).

| Defaults | Not configured | |
| Command Modes | CONFIGURATION (conf-if-interface-slot/port) | |
| Command History | Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series | |
| Usage Information | 802.1X authentication is enabled when an interface is connected to the switch. If the host fails to respond within a designated amount of time, the authenticator places the port in the guest VLAN.If a device does not respond within 30 seconds, it is assumed that the device is not 802.1X capable.Therefore, a guest VLAN is allocated to the interface and authentication, for the device, will occur at the next re-authentication interval (dot1x reauthentication).If the host fails authentication for the designated amount of times, the authenticator places the port in authentication failed VLAN (dot1x auth-fail-vlan).Note: Layer 3 portion of guest VLAN and authentication fail VLANs can be created regardless if the VLAN is assigned to an interface or not. Once an interface is assigned a guest VLAN (which has an IP address), then routing through the guest VLAN is the same as any other traffic. However, interface may join/leave a VLAN dynamically. | |

Access Control Lists (ACL)
Overview
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are supported on platforms C E S
FTOS supports the following types of Access Control List (ACL), IP prefix list, and route map:
- Commands Common to all ACL Types
• Common IP ACL Commands
• Standard IP ACL Commands
• Extended IP ACL Commands - Common MAC Access List Commands
• Standard MAC ACL Commands - Extended MAC ACL Commands
• IP Prefix List Commands - Route Map Commands
• AS-Path Commands
• IP Community List Commands
Note: For IPv6 ACL commands, see Chapter 17, IPv6 Access Control Lists (IPv6 ACLs).
Commands Common to all ACL Types
The following commands are available within each ACL mode and do not have mode-specific options. Some commands may use similar names, but require different options to support the different ACL types (for example, deny).
- description
- remark
• show config
description

Configure a short text string describing the ACL.
Syntax description text
To delete the ACL description, enter no description.
| Parameters | text | Enter a text string up to 80 characters long. |
| Defaults | Not enabled. | |
| Command Modes | CONFIGURATION-STANDARD-ACCESS-LIST | |
| CONFIGURATION-EXTENDED-ACCESS-LIST | ||
| CONFIGURATION-MAC ACCESS LIST-STANDARD | ||

| Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series | ||
| pre-Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced on E-Series | ||
| remark | ||
| C E S | Enter a description for an ACL entry. | |
| Syntax | remark [remark-number] [description] | |
| To delete the description, use theno remark[remark number] command. Note that it is not necessary to include the remarks description that you are deleting. | ||
| Parameters | remark-number | Enter the remark number. Note that the same sequence number can be used for the remark and an ACL rule. Range: 0 to 4294967290 |
| description | Enter a description of up to 80 characters. | |
| Defaults | Not configured | |
| Command Modes | CONFIGURATION-STANDARD-ACCESS-LIST | |

| Version 7.5.1.0 Added support for C-Series | ||
| pre-Version 6.4.1.0 Introduced for E-Series | ||
| Usage Information | Theremarkcommand is available in each ACL mode. You can configure up to 4294967290 remarks in a given ACL. | |
The following example shows the use of the remark command twice within the CONFIGURATION-STANDARD-ACCESS-LIST mode. Here, the same sequence number was used for the remark and for an associated ACL rule. The remark will precede the rule in the running-config because it is assumed that the remark is for the rule with the same sequence number, or the group of rules that follow the remark.

Standard IP ACL Commands
When an ACL is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects an implicit permit.
C and S platforms (except the S55) support Ingress IP ACLs only.
The supports both Ingress and Egress IP ACLs.
The commands needed to configure a Standard IP ACL are:
- deny
- ip access-list standard
- permit
- resequence access-list
- resequence prefix-list ipv4
- seq

Note: See also Commands Common to all ACL Types and Common IP ACL Commands.
deny

Syntax
Configure a filter to drop packets with a certain IP address.
deny {source [mask] | any | host ip-address} [count [byte] | log] [dscp value] [order] [monitor] [fragments]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
- Use the no seq sequence-number command syntax if you know the filter's sequence number or
• Use the no deny { source [mask] | any | host ip-address} command.
Parameters
| source | Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format of the network from which the packet was sent. |
| mask | (OPTIONAL) Enter a network mask in /prefix format (/x) or A.B.C.D. The mask, when specified in A.B.C.D format, may be either contiguous or non-contiguous (discontiguous). |
| any | Enter the keyword any to specify that all routes are subject to the filter. |
| host ip-address | Enter the keyword host followed by the IP address to specify a host IP address only. |
| count | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed by the filter. |
| byte | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the filter. |
| log | (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to enter ACL matches in the log. |
| dscp | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword dcsp to match to the IP DCSCP values. |
| order | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS order of priority for the ACL entry.Range: 0-254 (where 0 is the highest priority and 254 is the lowest; lower order numbers have a higher priority)Default: If the order keyword is not used, the ACLs have the lowest order by default(255). |
| monitor | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the traffic that you want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule will be applied to the monitored interface. For details, see the section “Flow-based Monitoring” in the Port Monitoring chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide. |
| fragments | Enter the keyword fragments to use ACLs to control packet fragments. |
Defaults
Not configured.

| Version 7.4.1.0 | Added support for non-contiguous mask and added themonitoroption. |
| Version 6.5.1.0 | Expanded to include the optional QoS order priority for the ACL entry. |
Usage Information
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. See the “Quality of Service” chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide for more information.
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about the packets that match. Depending on how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these packets' details.
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. See the Chapter 29, Port Monitoring.
The C-Series and S-Series cannot count both packets and bytes, so when you enter the count byte options, only bytes are incremented.

Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.

| Version 6.5.10 | Expanded to include the optional QoS order priority for the ACL entry. |
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. See Chapter 29, Port Monitoring.
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The following applies:
- The seq sequence-number is applicable only in an ACL group.
- The order option works across ACL groups that have been applied on an interface via QoS policy framework.
• The order option takes precedence over the seq sequence-number. - If sequence-number is not configured, then rules with the same order value are ordered according to their configuration order.
- If the sequence-number is configured, then the sequence-number is used as a tie breaker for rules with the same order.
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about the packets that match. Depending on how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these packets' details.

Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.

Extended IP ACL Commands
When an ACL is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects an implicit permit.
The following commands configure extended IP ACLs, which in addition to the IP address also examine the packet's protocol type.

Most ACL rules require one entry in the CAM. However, rules with TCP and UDP port operators (gt, lt, range) may require more than one entry. The range of ports is configured in the CAM based on bitmask boundaries; the space required depends on exactly what ports are included in the range.
For example, an ACL rule with TCP port range 4000 - 8000 uses 8 entries in the CAM:
| Rule# | Data | Mask | From | To | #Covered |
| 1 | 0000111110100000 | 1111111111100000 | 4000 | 4031 | 32 |

Command History
Version 8.2.1.0 Allows ACL control of fragmented packets for IP (Layer 3) ACLs.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
| Version 7.4.1.0 | Added monitor option |
| Version 6.5.10 | Expanded to include the optional QoS order priority for the ACL entry. |
Usage Information
The monitor option is relevant in the context of the flow-based monitoring feature only. See Chapter 29, Port Monitoring.
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about the packets that match. Depending on how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these packets' details.
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The following applies:
- The seq sequence-number is applicable only in an ACL group.
- The order option works across ACL groups that have been applied on an interface via QoS policy framework.
• The order option takes precedence over the seq sequence-number. - If sequence-number is not configured, then rules with the same order value are ordered according to their configuration order.
- If the sequence-number is configured, then the sequence-number is used as a tie breaker for rules with the same order.

Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
You cannot include IP, TCP or UDP (Layer 3) filters in an ACL configured with ARP or Ether-type (Layer 2) filters. Apply Layer 2 ACLs to interfaces in Layer 2 mode.

Extended MAC ACL Commands
When an access-list is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects implicit permit.
C and S platforms (except the S55 system) support Ingress MAC ACLs only.
The supports both Ingress and Egress MAC ACLs.
The following commands configure Extended MAC ACLs.
- deny
• mac access-list extended - permit
• seq

Note: See also Commands Common to all ACL Types and Common MAC Access List Commands.
deny

Syntax
Configure a filter to drop packets that match the filter criteria.
deny {any | host mac-address | mac-source-address mac-source-address-mask} {any | host mac-address | mac-destination-address mac-destination-address-mask} [ethertype-operator] [count [byte]] [log] [monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
- Use the no seq sequence-number command syntax if you know the filter's sequence number or
- Use the no deny {any | host mac-address | mac-source-address mac-source-address-mask} {any | host mac-address | mac-destination-address mac-destination-address-mask} command.
Parameters
| any Enter the keyword any to drop all packets. | |

| mac-source-address | Enter the source MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format. |
| mac-source-address-mask | Specify which bits in the MAC address must match.The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly. |
| mac-destination-address | Enter the destination MAC address and mask in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format. |
| mac-destination-address-mask | Specify which bits in the MAC address must match.The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly. |

Usage Information
The continue feature allows movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map entry (the sequence number). If the sequence number is not specified, the continue feature simply moves to the next sequence number (also known as an implied continue). If a match clause exists, the continue feature executes only after a successful match occurs. If there are no successful matches, continue is ignored.
Match clause with Continue clause
The continue feature can exist without a match clause. A continue clause without a match clause executes and jumps to the specified route-map entry.
With a match clause and a continue clause, the match clause executes first and the continue clause next in a specified route map entry. The continue clause launches only after a successful match. The behavior is:
- A successful match with a continue clause—the route map executes the set clauses and then goes to the specified route map entry upon execution of the continue clause.
- If the next route map entry contains a continue clause, the route map will execute the continue clause if a successful match occurs.
- If the next route map entry does not contain a continue clause, the route map evaluates normally. If a match does not does not occur, the route map does not continue and will fall through to the next sequence number, if one exists.
Set clause with Continue clause
If the route-map entry contains sets with the continue clause, then set actions is performed first followed by the continue clause jump to the specified route map entry.
- If a set actions occurs in the first route map entry and then the same set action occurs with a different value in a subsequent route map entry, the last set of actions overrides the previous set of actions with the same set command.
- If set community additive and set as-path prepend are configure, the communities and AS numbers are pre-pended.

For detailed information on configuring BGP, refer to the BGP chapter in the FTOS Configuration Guide.
This chapter contains the following sections:
- BGPv4 Commands
- MBGP Commands
• BGP Extended Communities (RFC 4360)
BGPv4 Commands
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between Autonomous Systems (AS). BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) and the aggregation of routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called neighbors or peers) exchange information including full routing tables and periodically send messages to update those routing tables.

Note: FTOS Version 7.7.1 supports 2-Byte (16-bit) and 4-Byte (32-bit) format for Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), where the 2-Byte format is 1-65535, the 4-Byte format is 1-4294967295.
Note: FTOS Version 8.3.1.0 supports Dotted format as well as the Traditional Plain format for AS Numbers. The dot format is displayed when using the show ip bgp commands. To determine the comparable dot format for an ASN from a traditional format, use ASN/65536. ASN%65536.
For more information about using the 2 or 4-Byte format, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide.
The following commands enable you to configure and enable BGP.

| attribute-map map-name | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordsattribute-mapfollowed by the name of a configured route map to modify attributes of the aggregate, excluding AS_PATH and NEXT_HOP attributes. |
| summary-only | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordsummary-onlyto advertise only the aggregate address. Specific routes will not be advertised. |
| suppress-map map-name | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordssuppress-mapfollowed by the name of a configured route map to identify which more-specific routes in the aggregate are suppressed. |
Defaults
Not configured.
Command Modes
ROUTER BGP ADDRESS FAMILY
ROUTER BGP ADDRESS FAMILY IPv6
Usage Information
At least one of the routes included in the aggregate address must be in the BGP routing table for the configured aggregate to become active.
Do not add the as-set parameter to the aggregate, if routes within the aggregate are constantly changing as the aggregate will flap to keep track of the changes in the AS_PATH.
In route maps used in the suppress-map parameter, routes meeting the deny clause are not suppress; in other words, they are allowed. The opposite is true: routes meeting the permit clause are suppressed.
If the route is injected via the network command, that route will still appear in the routing table if the summary-only parameter is configured in the aggregate-address command.
The summary-only parameter suppresses all advertisements. If you want to suppress advertisements to only specific neighbors, use the neighbor distribute-list command.
In the show ip bgp command, aggregates contain an 'a' in the first column and routes suppressed by the aggregate contain an 's' in the first column.

| Syntax | bgp non-deterministic-med |
| To return to the default, enter no bgp non-deterministic-med. | |
| Defaults | Disabled (that is, paths/routes for the same destination but from different ASs will not have their MEDs compared). |
| Command Modes | ROUTER BGP |
| Usage Information | In non-deterministic mode, paths are compared in the order in which they arrive. This method can lead to FTOS choosing different best paths from a set of paths, depending on the order in which they are received from the neighbors since MED may or may not get compared between adjacent paths. In deterministic mode (no bgp non-deterministic-med), FTOS compares MED between adjacent paths within an AS group since all paths in the AS group are from the same AS.When you change the path selection from deterministic to non-deterministic, the path selection for existing paths remains deterministic until you enter clear ip bgp command to clear existing paths. |

Command Modes
ROUTER BGP
Usage Information
This command is a knob to disable BGP next-hop resolution via BGP learned routes. During the next-hop resolution, only the first route that the next-hop resolves through is verified for the route's protocol source and is checked if the route is learned from BGP or not.

bgp regex-eval-optz-disable

Disables the Regex Performance engine that optimizes complex regular expression with BGP.
Syntax
bgp regex-eval-optz-disable
To re-enable optimization engine, use the no bgp regex-eval-optz-disable command.
Defaults
Enabled by default
Command Modes
ROUTER BGP (conf-router_bgp)
Usage Information
BGP uses regular expressions (regex) to filter route information. In particular, the use of regular expressions to filter routes based on AS-PATHs and communities is quite common. In a large scale configuration, filtering millions of routes based on regular expressions can be quite CPU intensive, as a regular expression evaluation involves generation and evaluation of complex finite state machines.
BGP policies, containing regular expressions to match as-path and communities, tend to use a lot of CPU processing time, which in turn affects the BGP routing convergence. Additionally, the show bgp commands, which are filtered through regular expressions, use up CPU cycles particularly with large databases. The Regex Engine Performance Enhancement feature optimizes the CPU usage by caching and reusing regular expression evaluation results. This caching and reuse may be at the expense of RP1 processor memory.

Command Modes
ROUTER BGP
Usage Information
When soft-reconfiguration is enabled for a neighbor and the clear ip bgp soft in is executed, the update database stored in the router is replayed and updates are reevaluated. With this command, the replay and update process is triggered only if route-refresh request is not negotiated with the peer. If the request is indeed negotiated (upon execution of clear ip bgp soft in), then BGP sends a route-refresh request to the neighbor and receives all of the peer's updates.

Note: This command is supported in BGP Router Configuration mode for IPv4 Unicast address only.

• neighbor advertisement-interval
- neighbor distribute-list out
- neighbor filter-list out
- neighbor next-hop-self
- neighbor route-map out
- neighbor route-reflector-client
- neighbor send-community
A neighbor may keep its configuration after it was added to a peer group if the neighbor's configuration is more specific than the peer group's, and the neighbor's configuration does not affect outgoing updates.
A peer group must exist before you add a peer to it. If the peer group is disabled (shutdown) the peers within the group are also disabled (shutdown).

address family ipv4 multicast (MBGP)

This command changes the context to SAFI (Subsequent Address Family Identifier).
Syntax address family ipv4 multicast
To remove SAFI context, use the no address family ipv4 multicast command.
Parameters
| ipv4 | Enter the keyword ipv4 to specify the address family as IPV4. |
| multicast | Enter the keyword multicast to specify multicast as SAFI. |
Defaults IPv4 Unicast
Command Modes
ROUTER BGP (conf-router_bgp)
Usage Information
All subsequent commands will apply to this address family once this command is executed. You can exit from this AFI/SAFI to the IPv4 Unicast (the default) family by entering exit and returning to the Router BGP context.

aggregate-address

Summarize a range of prefixes to minimize the number of entries in the routing table.
Syntax
aggregate-address ip-address mask [advertise-map map-name] [as-set] [attribute-map map-name] [summary-only] [suppress-map map-name]
| Parameters | ip-address mask | Enter the IP address and mask of the route to be the aggregate address.Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D) and mask in / prefix format (/x). |
| advertise-map map-name | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordsadvertise-mapfollowed by the name of a configured route map to set filters for advertising an aggregate route. | |
| as-set | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordas-setto generate path attribute information and include it in the aggregate.AS_SET includes AS_PATHand community information from the routes included in the aggregated route. | |
| attribute-map map-name | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordsattribute-mapfollowed by the name of a configured route map to modify attributes of the aggregate, excluding AS_PATH and NEXT_HOP attributes. | |
| summary-only | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordsummary-onlyto advertise only the aggregate address. Specific routes will not be advertised. | |
| suppress-map map-name | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywordssuppress-mapfollowed by the name of a configured route map to identify which more-specific routes in the aggregate are suppressed. |
Defaults
Not configured.
Command Modes
ROUTER BGP Address Family (conf-router_bgp_af)
Usage Information
At least one of the routes included in the aggregate address must be in the BGP routing table for the configured aggregate to become active.
Do not add the as-set parameter to the aggregate. If routes within the aggregate are constantly changing, the aggregate will flap to keep track of the changes in the AS_PATH.
In route maps used in the suppress-map parameter, routes meeting the deny clause are not suppress; in other words, they are allowed. The opposite is true: routes meeting the permit clause are suppressed.
If the route is injected via the network command, that route will still appear in the routing table if the summary-only parameter is configured in the aggregate-address command.
The summary-only parameter suppresses all advertisements. If you want to suppress advertisements to only specific neighbors, use the neighbor distribute-list command.

BGP Extended Communities, as defined in RFC 4360, is an optional transitive BGP attribute. It provides two major advantages over Standard Communities:
- The range is extended from 4-octet (AA:NN) to 8-octet (Type:Value) to provide enough number communities.
- Communities are structured using a new “Type” field (1 or 2-octets), allowing you to provide granular control/filter routing information based on the type of extended communities.
The BGP Extended Community commands are:
- deny
- deny regex
- description
- ip extcommunity-list
- match extcommunity
- permit
- permit regex
- set extcommunity rt
- set extcommunity soo
• show ip bgp ipv4 extcommunity-list
• show ip bgp paths extcommunity
• show ip extcommunity-list
• show running-config extcommunity-list
deny

Use this feature to reject (deny) from the two types of extended communities, Route Origin (rt) or Site-of-Origin (soo).
Syntax

Bare Metal Provisioning
Overview
Bare Metal Provisioning version 2.0 is supported on the following platforms: S55 S60 S4810 Z
In a data center network, Bare Metal Provisioning (BMP) automates the configuration and updating of switches, ensuring standard configurations across installed devices.
You can configure auto-configuration on a single switch or on multiple switches. BMP allows you to set up a group of switches with a minimum of effort, but is also useful for quick configuration of a single switch.
For additional information on BMP in an auto-configuration mode, refer to the Open Automation Guide.
Note: BMP 2.0 does not support stacking in this release.
BMP eases configuration by automating the following steps:
- Boot images and running configurations are specified in a DHCP server.
- Switch boots up in Layer 3 mode with interfaces already in no shutdown mode and only enabling some basic protocols to protect the switch and the network.
- The first port that receives the DHCP server response retains the IP address provided by the DHCP server during the BMP process. All other management and user ports are shut down.
- Files are automatically downloaded from a file server.
- After the BMP process is complete, the IP address is released and the configuration is applied by the switch.
Commands
- reload-type
• show reload-type - stop jump-start
reload-type

BMP 2.0 auto-configuration mode: Configure a switch to reload in normal mode or as a DHCP client with all ports configured for Layer 3 traffic.
Syntax
reload-type {normal-reload | jump-start [config-download {enable | disable}] [dhcp-timeout minutes] [vendor-class-identifier description]}
Parameters
| normal-reload | The switch reloads in normal mode using the FTOS image and startup configuration file stored in the local flash. |
| jump-start | The switch reloads in JumpStart mode as a DHCP client. |
| config-download {enable | disable} | (Optional) Configure whether the switch boots up using the configuration file downloaded from the DHCP/file servers (enable) OR if the downloaded file will be discarded and the startup configuration file stored in the local flash will be used (disable). Default: None |
| dhcp-timeout minutes | (Optional) Configure the DHCP timeout (in minutes) after which the JumpStart reload stops. Range: 0 to 50. If you enter 0, the switch waits until it receives a response from a DHCP server. Default: DHCP timeout is set to 0. The switch tries to contact a DHCP server an infinite (no limit) number of times. |
| vendor-class-identifier description | (Optional) Include a brief description in the user defined field in DHCP option 60. You can enter a maximum of 64 characters. |
Defaults
A switch running BMP 2.0 reloads in JumpStart mode as a DHCP client with all ports configured for Layer 3 traffic.

| Version 8.3.3.8 Introduced on S60 |
| Version 8.3.11.4 Introduced on Z9000 |
| Version 8.3.10.1 Introduced on S4810. |
| Version 8.3.5.6 The reload-type command was moved from EXEC Privilege mode to CONFIGURATION mode. The vendor-class-identifier keyword and the description variable were introduced on S55 and S60 platforms. |
Usage Information
For an initial setup, the config-download parameter of the reload-type command is enabled. After the configuration file is successfully downloaded, the config-download parameter is automatically disabled. You can enable it again using the reload-type command.
After you set the auto-configuration mode (Jumpstart or Normal reload) using the reload-type command, you must enter the reload command to reload the switch in the configured mode.
When a switch reloads in Jumpstart mode, all ports, including the management port, are automatically configured as Layer 3 physical ports. The switch acts as a DHCP client on the ports for a user-configured time (dhcp-timeout option). You can reconfigure the default startup configuration and DHCP timeout values.
If a switch enters a loop while reloading in Jumpstart mode because the switch continuously tries to contact a DHCP server and a DHCP server is not found, connect to the switch using the console terminal and enter the stop jump-start command to interrupt the reload and boot up in normal mode. The startup configuration is then loaded from the local flash on the switch and the auto-configuration mode is automatically changed to Normal reload.
Use the reload-type command in BMP 2.0 to toggle between Normal and Jumpstart auto-configuration modes. The reload settings for the auto-configuration mode that you configure are stored in memory and retained for future reboots and BMP software upgrades. You can enter the reload command at any time to reload the switch in the last configured mode: Normal reload or Jumpstart mode.
Related Commands
show reload-type Display the current reload mode (Normal or jump-start mode)
stop jump-start Stops the Jumpstart process to prevent a loop if the DHCP server is not found.

Related Commands
reload-type Configure the reload mode as normal or Jumpstart.
Usage Information Use the stop jump-start command from the console of a switch running BMP 2.0 if the switch enters a loop while reloading in Jumpstart mode; loop occurs when the switch is continuously trying to contact a DHCP server and a DHCP server is not found. The stop jump-start command stops the switch from connecting to the DHCP server. After the stop jump-start command is used, the next default reload type will be a normal reload. This will be indicated in the show reload-type command.
If you apply the stop jump-start command when the device is in Normal reload mode, the following message appears:
% Warning: The stop jump-start CLI is not applicable in the normal mode.
Content Addressable Memory (CAM)
Overview
Content Addressable Memory (CAM) commands are supported C-Series, E-Series TeraScale and S-Series, as indicated by the symbols under each command heading: C E T S.

Note: Not all CAM commands are supported on all platforms. Be sure to note the platform symbol when looking for a command.

Warning: If you are using these features for the first time, contact Dell Networking Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for guidance. For information on contacting Dell Networking TAC, visit the Dell Networking website at http://support.dell.com/force10
This chapter includes the following sections:
• CAM Profile Commands
CAM Profile Commands
The CAM profiling feature enables you to partition the CAM to best suit your application. For example:
- Configure more Layer 2 FIB entries when the system is deployed as a switch.
- Configure more Layer 3 FIB entries when the system is deployed as a router.
- Configure more ACLs (when IPv6 is not employed).
- Hash MPLS packets based on source and destination IP addresses for LAGs.
- Hash based on bidirectional flow for LAGs.
- Optimize the VLAN ACL Group feature, which permits group VLANs for IP egress ACLs.
Important Points to Remember
- CAM Profiles are available on FTOS versions 6.3.1.1 and later for the E-Series TeraScale.
- FTOS versions 7.8.1.0 and later support CAM allocations on the C-Series and S-Series.
- All line cards within a single system must have the same CAM profile (including CAM sub-region configurations); this profile must match the system CAM profile (the profile on the primary RPM).
-
FTOS automatically reconfigures the CAM profile on line cards and the secondary RPM to match the system CAM profile by saving the correct profile on the card and then rebooting it.
-
The CAM configuration is applied to entire system when you use CONFIGURATION mode commands. You must save the running-configuration to affect the change.
- When budgeting your CAM allocations for ACLs and QoS configurations, remember that ACL and QoS rules might consume more than one CAM entry depending on complexity. For example, TCP and UDP rules with port range options might require more than one CAM entry.
- After you install a secondary RPM, copy the running-configuration to the startup-configuration so that the new RPM has the correct CAM profile.
- You MUST save your changes and reboot the system for CAM profiling or allocations to take effect.
The CAM Profiling commands are:
- cam-acl
- cam-acl-egress
- cam-optimization
- cam-profile
• show cam-acl
• show cam-profile
• show cam-usage - test cam-usage
cam-acl

Usage Information
You must save the new CAM settings to the startup-config (write-mem or copy run start) then reload the system for the new settings to take effect.
The total amount of space allowed is 16 FP Blocks. System flow requires 3 blocks and these cannot be reallocated.
When configuring space for IPv6 ACLs, the total number of Blocks must equal 13.
Ranges for the CAM profiles are 1-10, except for the ipv6acl profile which is 0-10. The ipv6acl allocation must be a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

Version 8.2.1.0
Added support for ipv4-64k-ipv6 profile
Version 7.9.1.0 Added support for VRF protocols.
Version 7.5.1.0 Added the 12-ipv4-inacI CAM profile
Usage Information
Version 7.4.2.0 Added the unified-default CAM profile and lag-hash-align microcode
Version 7.4.1.0 Added the lag-hash-mpls microcode
Version 6.5.1.0 Added the cg-default and ipv4-320k CAM profiles

You must save the running configuration using the command copy running-config startup-config after changing the CAM profile from CONFIGURATION mode. CAM profile changes take effect after the next chassis reboot.

Note: Do not use the ipv4-egacl-16 CAM profile for Layer 2 egress ACLs.

Note: Do not make any changes to the CAM profile after you change the profile to ipv4-320K and save the configuration until after you reload the chassis; any changes lead to unexpected behavior. After you reload the chassis, you may make changes to the IPv4 Flow partition.

test cam-usage service-policy input input policy name linecard {number / all}
Parameters
| policy-map name | Enter the name of the policy-map to verify. |
| number | Enter all to get information for all the linecards/stack-units, or enter the linecard/ stack-unit number to get information for a specific card.Range: 0-6 for E-Series, 0-7 for C-Series, 0-11 for S55; 0-7 for all other S-Series |

| EXEC Privilege | |
| Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on the S55. | |
| Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced | |
| This command applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 CAM Profiles, but is best used when verifying QoS optimization for IPv6 ACLs. | |
QoS Optimization for IPv6 ACLs does not impact the CAM usage for applying a policy on a single (or the first of several) interfaces. It is most useful when a policy is applied across multiple interfaces; it can reduce the impact to CAM usage across subsequent interfaces.
Example The following examples show some sample output when using the test cam-usage command.

Dell Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP)
Overview
Dell Force10 Resilient Ring Protocol (FRRP) is supported on platforms C E S
FRRP is a proprietary protocol for that offers fast convergence in a Layer 2 network without having to run the Spanning Tree Protocol. The Resilient Ring Protocol is an efficient protocol that transmits a high-speed token across a ring to verify the link status. All the intelligence is contained in the master node with practically no intelligence required of the transit mode.
Commands
The FRRP commands are:
- clear frrp
- debug frrp
- description
- disable
- interface
- member-vlan
- mode
- protocol frrp
• show frrp - timer
Important Points to Remember
- FRRP is media- and speed-independent.
- FRRP is a Dell Force10 proprietary protocol that does not interoperate with any other vendor.
- Spanning Tree must be disabled on both primary and secondary interfaces before Resilient Ring protocol is enabled.
- A VLAN configured as control VLAN for a ring cannot be configured as control or member VLAN for any other ring.
- Member VLANs across multiple rings are not supported in Master nodes.
- If multiple rings share one or more member VLANs, they cannot share any links between them.
• Each ring can have only one Master node; all others are Transit nodes.

GARP VLAN Registration (GVRP)
Overview
GARP VLAN Registration (GVRP) is supported on platforms ☐, ☐, and ☐
Commands
The GVRP commands are:
- clear gvrp statistics
• bpdu-destination-mac-address - debug gvrp
- disable
- carp timers
- gvrp enable
- gvrp registration
- protocol gvrp
• show config
• show garp timers
• show gvrp
• show gvrp statistics on page 27
The GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) mechanism allows the configuration of a GARP participant to propagate through a network quickly. A GARP participant registers or de-registers its attributes with other participants by making or withdrawing declarations of attributes. At the same time, based on received declarations or withdrawals, GARP handles attributes of other participants.
GVRP enables a device to propagate local VLAN registration information to other participant devices and dynamically update the VLAN registration information from other devices. The registration information updates local databases regarding active VLAN members and through which port the VLANs can be reached.
GVRP ensures that all participants on a bridged LAN maintain the same VLAN registration information. The VLAN registration information propagated by GVRP include both manually configured local static entries and dynamic entries from other devices.
GVRP participants have the following components:
• The GVRP application
• GARP Information Propagation (GIP)
• GARP Information Declaration (GID)
Important Points to Remember
• GVRP is supported on Layer 2 ports only.
- All VLAN ports added by GVRP are tagged.
- GVRP is supported on untagged ports belonging to a default VLAN, and tagged ports.
- GVRP cannot be enabled on untagged ports belonging to a non-default VLAN unless native VLAN is turned on.
• GVRP requires end stations with dynamic access NICs.
- Based on updates from GVRP-enabled devices, GVRP allows the system to dynamically create a port-based VLAN (unspecified) with a specific VLAN ID and a specific port.
- On a port-by-port basis, GVRP allows the system to learn about GVRP updates to an existing port-based VLAN with that VLAN ID and IEEE 802.1Q tagging.
- GVRP allows the system to send dynamic GVRP updates about your existing port-based VLAN.
- GVRP updates are not sent to any blocked Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) ports. GVRP operates only on ports that are in the forwarding state.
- GVRP operates only on ports that are in the STP forwarding state. If GVRP is enabled, a port that changes to the STP forwarding state automatically begins to participate in GVRP. A port that changes to an STP state other than forwarding no longer participates in GVRP.
- VLANs created dynamically with GVRP exist only as long as a GVRP-enabled device is sending updates. If the devices no longer send updates, or GVRP is disabled, or the system is rebooted, all dynamic VLANs are removed.
- GVRP manages the active topology, not non-topological data such as VLAN protocols. If a local bridge needs to classify and analyze packets by VLAN protocols, you must manually configure protocol-based VLANs, and simply rely on GVRP for VLAN updates. But if the local bridge needs to know only how to reach a given VLAN, then GVRP provides all necessary information.
- The VLAN topologies that GVRP learns are treated differently from VLANs that are statically configured. The GVRP dynamic updates are not saved in NVRAM, while static updates are saved in NVRAM. When GVRP is disabled, the system deletes all VLAN interfaces that were learned through GVRP and leaves unchanged all VLANs that were manually configured.

Usage Information
Join Timer—Join messages announce the willingness to register some attributes with other participants. Each GARP application entity sends a Join message twice, for reliability, and uses a join timer to set the sending interval.
Leave Timer—Leave announces the willingness to de-register with other participants. Together with the Join, Leave messages help GARP participants complete attribute reregistration and de-registration. Leave Timer starts upon receipt of a leave message sent for de-registering some attribute information. If a join message is not received before the leave time expires, the GARP application entity removes the attribute information as requested.
Leave All Timer—The Leave All Timer starts when a GARP application entity starts. When this timer expires, the entity sends a leave-all message so that other entities can re-register their attribute information. Then, the leave-all time begins again.

| Usage Information | The fixed registration prevents an interface, configured via the command line to belong to a VLAN (static configuration), from being un-configured when it receives a Leave message. Therefore, the registration mode on that interface is fixed.The normal registration is the default registration. The port’s membership in the VLANs depends on GVRP. The interface becomes a member of VLANs after learning about the VLAN through GVRP. If the VLAN is removed from the port that sends GVRP advertisements to this device, then the port will stop being a member of the VLAN.The forbidden is used when you do not want the interface to advertise or learn about VLANs through GVRP. |

Invalid messages/attributes skipped can occur in the following cases:
- The incoming GVRP PDU has an incorrect length.
- “End of PDU” was reached before the complete attribute could be parsed.
- The Attribute Type of the attribute that was being parsed was not the GVRP VID Attribute Type (0x01).
- The attribute that was being parsed had an invalid attribute length.
- The attribute that was being parsed had an invalid GARP event.
- The attribute that was being parsed had an invalid VLAN ID. The valid range is 1 - 4095.
A failed registration can occur for the following reasons:
- Join requests were received on a port that was blocked from learning dynamic VLANs (GVRP Blocking state).
- An entry for a new GVRP VLAN could not be created in the GVRP database.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
Overview
The platforms on which a command is supported is indicated by the character — E for the E-Series, C for the C-Series, and S for the S-Series — that appears below each command heading.
This chapter contains the following sections:
- IGMP Commands
• IGMP Snooping Commands
IGMP Commands
FTOS supports IGMPv1/v2/v3 and is compliant with RFC-3376.
Important Points to Remember
- FTOS supports PIM-SM and PIM-SSM include and exclude modes.
- IGMPv2 is the default version of IGMP on interfaces. IGMPv3 can be configured on interfaces, and is backward compatible with IGMPv2.
- The maximum number of interfaces supported is 512 on the E-Series. On the C-Series and S-Series 31 interfaces are supported.

Note: The S55 supports up to 95 interfaces.
• Maximum number of groups supported – no hard limit
- IGMPv3 router interoperability with IGMPv2 and IGMPv1 routers on the same subnet is not supported.
- An administrative command (ip igmp version) is added to manually set the IGMP version.
- All commands, previously used for IGMPv2, are compatible with IGMPv3.
The commands include:
- clear ip igmp groups
- debug ip igmp
- ip igmp access-group
- ip igmp group-join-limit
- ip igmp immediate-leave
-
ip igmp last-member-query-interval
-
ip igmp querier-timeout
- ip igmp query-interval
- ip igmp query-max-resp-time
- ip igmp ssm-map
- ip igmp static-group
- ip igmp version

Usage Information
Mapping applies to both v1 and v2 IGMP joins; any updates to the ACL are reflected in the IGMP groups. You may not use extended access lists with this command. When a static SSM map is configured and the router cannot find any matching access lists, the router continues to accept (*,G) groups.
Related Commands
ip access-list standard Create a standard access list to filter based on IP address.
ip igmp static-group

Configure an IGMP static group.
Syntax
ip igmp static-group {group address [exclude [source address]] | [include {source address}]}
To delete a static address, use the no ip igmp static-group {group address [exclude [source address]] | [include {source address}]} command.
Parameters
| group address | Enter the group address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D) |
| exclude source address | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword exclude followed by the source address, in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D), for which a static entry needs to be added. |
| include source address | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword include followed by the source address, in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D), for which a static entry needs to be added.Note: A group in include mode must have at least one source address defined. |
| Defaults | No default values or behavior |

| Version 7.7.1.0 Introduced on C-Series | |
| Version 7.5.1.0 Expanded to support the exclude and include options | |
| E-Series legacy command | |
| Usage Information | A group in the include mode should have at least one source address defined. In exclude mode if no source address is specified, FTOS implicitly assumes all sources are included. If neither include or exclude is specified, FTOS implicitly assumes a IGMPv2 static join. |
| Command LimitationsOnly one mode (include or exclude) is permitted per multicast group per interface. To configure another mode, all sources belonging to the original mode must be unconfigured.If a static configuration is present and a packet for the same group arrives on an interface, the dynamic entry will completely overwrite all the static configuration for the group. | |

IGMP Snooping Commands
FTOS supports IGMP Snooping version 2 and 3 on all Dell Networking systems:
- ip igmp snooping enable
- ip igmp snooping fast-leave
- ip igmp snooping flood
- ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval
- ip igmp snooping mrouter
- ip igmp snooping querier
• show ip igmp snooping mrouter
Important Points to Remember for IGMP Snooping
- FTOS supports version 1, version 2, and version 3 hosts.
- FTOS IGMP snooping implementation is based on IP multicast address (not based on Layer 2 multicast mac-address) and the IGMP snooping entries are in Layer 3 flow table not in Layer 2 FIB.
- FTOS IGMP snooping implementation is based on draft-ietf-magma-snoop-10.
- FTOS supports IGMP snooping on JUMBO enabled cards.
- IGMP snooping is not enabled by default on the switch.
- A maximum of 1800 groups and 600 VLAN are supported.
- IGMP snooping is not supported on default VLAN interface.
- IGMP snooping is not supported over VLAN-Stack-enabled VLAN interfaces (you must disable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface before configuring VLAN-Stack-related commands).
- IGMP snooping does not react to Layer 2 topology changes triggered by STP.
- IGMP snooping reacts to Layer 2 topology changes triggered by MSTP by sending a general query on the interface that comes in FWD state.
Important Points to Remember for IGMP Querier
- The IGMP snooping Querier supports version 2.
- You must configure an IP address to the VLAN interface for IGMP snooping Querier to begin. The IGMP snooping Querier disables itself when a VLAN IP address is cleared, and then it restarts itself when an IP address is re-assigned to the VLAN interface.
- When enabled, IGMP snooping Querier will not start if there is a statically configured multicast router interface in the VLAN.
- When enabled, IGMP snooping Querier starts after one query interval in case no IGMP general query (with IP SA lower than its VLAN IP address) is received on any of its VLAN members.
- When enabled, IGMP snooping Querier periodically sends general queries with an IP source address of the VLAN interface. If it receives a general query on any of its VLAN member, it will check the IP source address of the incoming frame.
If the IP SA in the incoming IGMP general query frame is lower than the IP address of the VLAN interface, then the switch disables its IGMP snooping Querier functionality.
If the IP SA of the incoming IGMP general query is higher than the VLAN IP address, the switch will continue to work as an IGMP snooping Querier.
ip igmp snooping enable

Enable IGMP snooping on all or a single VLAN. This is the master on/off switch to enable IGMP snooping.

Usage Information
Queriers normally send a certain number of queries when a leave message is received prior to deleting a group from the membership database. There may be situations in which fast deletion of a group is required. When IGMP fast leave processing is enabled, the switch will remove an interface from the multicast group as soon as it detects an IGMP version 2 leave message on the interface.
ip igmp snooping flood

This command controls the flooding behavior of unregistered multicast data packets. On the E-Series, when flooding is enabled (the default), unregistered multicast data traffic is flooded to all ports in a VLAN. When flooding is disabled, unregistered multicast data traffic is forwarded to only multicast router ports, both static and dynamic, in a VLAN. If there is no multicast router port in a VLAN, then unregistered multicast data traffic is dropped. On the
C-Series and S-Series, unregistered multicast data traffic is dropped when flooding is disabled; they do not forward the packets to multicast router ports. On the C-Series and S-Series, Layer 3 multicast must be disabled (no ip multicast-routing) in order to disable Layer 2 multicast flooding.

Interfaces
Overview
This chapter defines interface commands and is divided into the following sections:
- Basic Interface Commands
- Port Channel Commands
The symbols under command headings indicate which Dell Networking platforms — C-Series, E-Series, or S-Series, respectively — support the command.
Although all interfaces are supported on E-Series ExaScale, some interface functionality is supported on E-Series ExaScale ex with FTOS 8.2.1.0. and later. When this is the case that is noted in the command history.
Basic Interface Commands
The following commands are for physical, Loopback, and Null interfaces:
- auto-mdix

Syntax

Defaults

Command Modes
INTERFACE
Command History
Version 8.3.5.3 Introduced on the S55.
Version 8.3.3.3 Introduced on the S60.
Usage Information
With Auto-MDIX enabled, you can connect two network devices irrespective of the cable type (straight-through or crossover) and the MDI mode of the peer device. When Auto-MDIX is disabled at both ends, the copper ports behave as MDI. In this case, you need a crossover cable to connect the port to another MDI port, or a straight-through cable to connect the port to a MDIX port. The link will not come up when wrong cables are used.
When the interface speed is negotiated to be at 1000Mbps, Auto-MDIX cannot be disabled. Therefore, if Auto-MDIX is disabled at 1000Mbps, FTOS sets the interface speed to 100Mbps and disables Auto-MDIX. When the link comes up, be sure to have correct cabling and FTOS sets the speed back to 1000Mbps. If the cabling is not correct for Auto-MDIX disabled (it is straight through cable), the speed stays at 100Mbps and the link stays down until a correct (ie. crossover) cable is inserted.

dampening

Configure dampening on an interface.
Syntax
dampening [[[half-life] [reuse-threshold]] [suppress-threshold]] [max-suppress-time]]
To disable dampening, use the no dampening [[[half-life] [reuse-threshold]] [suppress-threshold]] [max-suppress-time]] command syntax.
Parameters
| half-life | Enter the number of seconds after which the penalty is decreased. The penalty is decreased by half after the half-life period expires. Range: 1 to 30 seconds Default: 5 seconds |
| reuse-threshold | Enter a number as the reuse threshold, the penalty value below which the interface state is changed to “up”. Range: 1 to 20000 Default: 750 |
| suppress-threshold | Enter a number as the suppress threshold, the penalty value above which the interface state is changed to “error disabled”. Range: 1 to 20000 Default: 2500 |
| max-suppress-time | Enter the maximum number for which a route can be suppressed. The default is four times the half-life value. Range: 1 to 86400 Default: 20 seconds |
Defaults
Disabled

Command History
Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on the S55.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on S-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
Version 7.4.1.0 Introduced on E-Series
Example
FTOS (conf-if-gi-3/2) # dampening 20 800 4500 120 FTOS (conf-if-gi-3/2) #
Usage Information
With each flap, FTOS penalizes the interface by assigning a penalty (1024) that decays exponentially depending on the configured half-life. Once the accumulated penalty exceeds the suppress threshold value, the interface is moved to the error-disabled state. This interface state is deemed as “down” by all static/dynamic Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols. The penalty is exponentially decayed based on the half-life timer. Once the penalty decays below the reuse threshold, the interface is enabled. The configured parameters should follow:
• suppress-threshold should be greater than reuse-threshold
- max-suppress-time should be at least 4 times half-life

Note: Dampening cannot be applied on an interface that is monitoring traffic for other interfaces.

flowcontrol

Control how the system responds to and generates 802.3x pause frames on 1Gig and 10Gig line cards.
Syntax
flowcontrol rx {off | on} tx {off | on} threshold {<1-2047><1-2013><1-2013>}
The threshold keyword is supported on C-Series and S-Series only.
To return to the default, use the no flowcontrol rx {off | on} tx {off | on} threshold command.
Parameters
| rx on | Enter the keywords rx on to process the received flow control frames on this port. This is the default value for the receive side. |
| rx off | Enter the keywords rx off to ignore the received flow control frames on this port. |
| tx on | Enter the keywords tx on to send control frames from this port to the connected device when a higher rate of traffic is received. This is the default value on the send side. |
| tx off | Enter the keywords tx off so that flow control frames are not sent from this port to the connected device when a higher rate of traffic is received. | |
| threshold(C-Series and S-Series only) | When tx on is configured, you can set the threshold values for:Number of flow-control packet pointers: 1-2047 (default = 75)Flow-control buffer threshold in KB: 1-2013 (default = 49KB)Flow-control discard threshold in KB: 1-2013 (default= 75KB) | |

| Version 6.5.1.9 and 7.4.1.0 Introduced on E-Series | ||
| Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on C-Series and S-Series with thresholds | ||
| Usage Information | The globally assigned 48-bit Multicast address 01-80-C2-00-00-01 is used to send and receive pause frames. To allow full duplex flow control, stations implementing the pause operation instruct the MAC to enable reception of frames with a destination address equal to this multicast address. | |
| The pause:Starts wheneitherthe packet pointer or the buffer threshold is met (whichever is met first). When the discard threshold is met, packets are dropped.Ends whenboththe packet pointer and the buffer threshold fall below 50% of the threshold settings.The discard threshold defines when the interface starts dropping the packet on the interface. This may be necessary when a connected device does not honor the flow control frame sent by the S-Series. The discard threshold should be larger than thebuffer thresholdso that the buffer holds at least hold at least 3 packets. | ||
| Important Points to RememberDo not enabletxpause when buffer carving is enabled. Consult Dell Networking TAC for information and assistance.Asymmetric flow control (rx on tx off or rx off tx on) setting for the interface port less than 100 Mb/s speed is not permitted. The following error is returned:Can't configure Asymmetric flowcontrol when speed <1G, config ignored | ||
- The only configuration applicable to half duplex ports is rx off tx off. The following error is returned:
Can't configure flowcontrol when half duplex is configure, config ignored
- Half duplex cannot be configured when the flow control configuration is on (default is rx on tx on). The following error is returned:
Can't configure half duplex when flowcontrol is on, config ignored
Note: The flow control must be off (rx off tx off) before configuring the half duplex.
- Speeds less than 1 Gig cannot be configured when the asymmetric flow control configuration is on. The following error is returned:
Can't configure speed <1G when Asymmetric flowcontrol is on, config ignored
• FTOS only supports rx on tx on and rx off tx off for speeds less than 1 Gig (Symmetric).
- On the C-Series and S-Series systems, the flow-control sender and receiver must be on the same port-pipe. Flow control is not supported across different port-pipes on the C-Series or S-Series system.

interface range

This command permits configuration of a range of interfaces to which subsequent commands are applied (bulk configuration). Using the interface range command, identical commands can be entered for a range of interface.
Syntax
interface range interface, interface, ...
Parameters
interface, interface, ...
Enter the keyword interface range and one of the interfaces — slot/port, port-channel or VLAN number. Select the range of interfaces for bulk configuration. You can enter up to six comma separated ranges—spaces are not required between the commas. Comma-separated ranges can include VLANs, port-channels and physical interfaces. Slot/Port information must contain a space before and after the dash. For example, interface range gigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 is valid; interface range gigabitethernet 0/1-5 is not valid.
- For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword by the slot/port information.
- For a port channel interface, enter the keyword number:

Usage Information When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not sorted. The command verifies that interfaces are present (physical) or configured (logical). Important things to remember:
- Bulk configuration is created if at least one interface is valid.
- Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk configuration with a warning message (Figure 15-9).
- The interface range prompt includes interface types with slot/port information for valid interfaces. The prompt allows for a maximum of 32 characters. If the bulk configuration exceeds 32 characters, it is represented by an ellipsis (...).
- When the interface range prompt has multiple port ranges, the smaller port range is excluded from the prompt (Figure 15-10).
- If overlapping port ranges are specified, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the biggest end port (Figure 15-11).
Example Figure 15-9. Bulk Configuration Warning Message
FTOS(conf)#interface range so 2/0 - 1, te 10/0, gi 3/0, fa 0/0 % Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by interface-range
Example Figure 15-10. Interface Range prompt with Multiple Ports
FTOS (conf) #interface range gi 2/0 - 23, gi 2/1 - 10 FTOS (conf-if-range-gi-2/0-23#
Example Figure 15-11. Interface Range prompt Overlapping Port Ranges
FTOS (conf) #interface range gi 2/1 - 11, gi 2/1 - 23 FTOS (conf-if-range-gi-2/1-23#
Only VLAN and port-channel interfaces created using the interface vlan and interface port-channel commands can be used in the interface range command.
Use the show running-config command to display the VLAN and port-channel interfaces. VLAN or port-channel interfaces that are not displayed in the show running-config command can not be used with the bulk configuration feature of the interface range command. You cannot create virtual interfaces (VLAN, Port-channel) using the interface range command.

Note: If a range has VLAN, physical, port-channel, and SONET interfaces, only commands related to physical interfaces can be bulk configured. To configure commands specific to VLAN, port-channel or SONET, only those respective interfaces should be configured in a particular range.
Figure 15-12 is an example of a single range bulk configuration.
Example
Figure 15-12. Single Range Bulk Configuration
FTOS(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 23
FTOS(config-if-range)# no shutdown
FTOS(config-if-range)#
Figure 15-13 shows how to use commas to add different interface types to the range enabling all Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the range 5/1 to 5/23 and both Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.

Command History
Version 8.3.3.4 Introduced on S-Series
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
pre-Version 6.2.1.0 Introduced for E-Series
Usage Information
If the packet includes a Layer 2 header, the difference between the link MTU and IP MTU (ip mtu command) must be enough bytes to include the Layer 2 header:
- On C-Series, the IP MTU will get adjusted automatically when the Layer 2 MTU is configured with the mtu command.
- On the E-Series, you must compensate for a Layer 2 header when configuring IP MTU and link MTU on an Ethernet interface. Use the ip mtu command.
When you enter the no mtu command, FTOS reduces the IP MTU value to 1536 bytes. On the E-Series, to return the IP MTU value to the default, enter no ip mtu.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for port channels and VLANs are as follows.
port channels:
- All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
- The port channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members.
Example: if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the port channel's MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
VLANs:
- All members of a VLAN must have same IP MTU value.
- Members can have different Link MTU values. Tagged members must have a link MTU 4 bytes higher than untagged members to account for the packet tag.
- The VLAN link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the VLAN members.
Example
The VLAN contains tagged members with Link MTU of 1522 and IP MTU of 1500 and untagged members with Link MTU of 1518 and IP MTU of 1500. The VLAN's Link MTU cannot be higher than 1518 bytes and its IP MTU cannot be higher than 1500 bytes.
Table 15-3. Difference between Link MTU and IP MTU
| Layer 2 Overhead Link MTU and IP MTU Delta | |
| Ethernet (untagged) 18 bytes | |

pre-Version 6.2.1.0 Introduced for E-Series
Usage Information
This command is available on C-Series and S-Series 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet interfaces and on TeraScale 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet line cards.
The no negotiation auto command is only available if you first manually set the speed of a port to 10Mbits or 100Mbits.
The negotiation auto command provides a mode option for configuring an individual port to forced-master/forced slave once auto-negotiation is enabled

Note: The mode option is not available on non-10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet line cards.

no Negate a command or set its defaults
show Show autoneg configuration information
FTOS (conf-if-autoneg)#mode ?
forced-master Force port to master mode
forced-slave Force port to slave mode
FTOS (conf-if-autoneg)#
If the mode option is not used, the default setting is slave. If you do not configure forced-master or forced slave on a port, the port negotiates to either a master or a slave state. Port status is one of the following:
- Forced-master
- Force-slave
- Master
- Slave
- Auto-neg Error—typically indicates that both ends of the node are configured with forced-master or forced-slave.

Caution: Ensure that one end of your node is configured as forced-master and one is configured as forced-slave. If both are configured the same (that is forced-master or forced-slave), the show interfaces command will flap between an auto-neg-error and forced-master/slave states.
You can display master/slave settings with the show interfaces command.

FTOS(conf-if-vl-20)#tagged gi 7/0
FTOS(conf-if-vl-20)#
Usage Information
The figure above sets a port as hybrid, makes the port a tagged member of VLAN 20, and an untagged member of VLAN 10, which becomes the native VLAN of the port. The port will now accept:
- untagged frames and classify them as VLAN 10 frames
• VLAN 20 tagged frames
The next figure is an example show output with “Hybrid” as the newly added value for 802.1QTagged. The options for this field are:
- True—port is tagged
- False—port is untagged
- Hybrid—port accepts both tagged and untagged frames
Example
Figure 15-23. Display the Tagged Hybrid Interface
FTOS(conf-if-vl-20)#do show interfaces switchport
Name: GigabitEthernet 7/0
802.1QTagged: Hybrid
Vlan membership:
Vlan 10, Vlan 20
Native VlanId: 10

The figure below is an example unconfiguration of the hybrid port using the no portmode hybrid command.

Note: You must remove all other configurations on the port before you can remove the hybrid configuration from the port.

| Line Description | |
| AutoNegotiation Expansion ParallelDetectionFault is the handshaking scheme in which the link partner continuously transmit an “idle” data packet using the Fast Ethernet MLT-3 waveform. Equipment that does not support auto-negotiation must be configured to exactly match the mode of operation as the link partner or else no link can be established. | |
| 1000Base-T Control 1000Base-T requires auto-negotiation. The IEEE Ethernet standard does not support setting a speed to 1000 Mbps with the speed command without auto-negotiation. E-Series line cards support both full-duplex and half-duplex 1000BaseT. | |

E-Series legacy command
Usage Information
The shutdown command marks a physical interface as unavailable for traffic. To discover if an interface is disabled, use the show ip interface brief command. Disabled interfaces are listed as down.
Disabling a VLAN or a port channel causes different behavior. When a VLAN is disabled, the Layer 3 functions within that VLAN are disabled. Layer 2 traffic continues to flow. Entering the shutdown command on a port channel disables all traffic on the port channel and the individual interfaces within the port channel. To enable a port channel, you must enter no shutdown on the port channel interface and at least one interface within that port channel.
The shutdown and description commands are the only commands that you can configure on an interface that is a member of a port channel.

Usage Information
This command is found on the 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet interfaces.
With speed 1000 configured on a copper interface, the speed is not auto-negotiated. The interface will operate only at 1000 Mbps.
With speed 100 configured on a copper interface, the speed is auto-negotiated. The interface will operate at 10 Mbps or at 100 Mbps.
When auto is enabled, the system performs and automatic discovery to determine the optics installed and configure the appropriate speed.
When you configure a speed for the 10/100/1000 interface, you should confirm the negotiation auto command setting. Both sides of the link should have auto-negotiation either enabled or disabled. For speed settings of 1000 or auto, the software sets the link to auto-negotiation, and you cannot change that setting.

Note: Starting with FTOS 7.8.1.0, when a copper SFP2 module with catalog number GP-SFP2-1T is used in the S25P model of the S-Series, its speed can be manually set with the speed command. When the speed is set to 10 or 100 Mbps, the duplex command can also be executed.

| Usage Information | If an IP address or VRRP group is assigned to the interface, you cannot use the switchport command for that interface. To use the switchport command on an interface, only the no ip address and no shutdown statements must be listed in the show config for that command.When you enable the switchport command, the interface is automatically added to the Default VLAN.To use the switchport backup interface command on a port, first execute the switchport command on the port. For details, see the section Configuring Redundant Links in the Layer 2 chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide. |

Port Channel Commands
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link according to IEEE 802.3ad. In FTOS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
Table 15-11. Port Channel Limits
| Platform | Maximum Port Channel IDs | Maximum Members per Port Channel |
| E-Series ExaScale 255 64 | ||
| E-Series TeraScale 255 16 | ||
| C-Series 128 8 | ||
| S-Series 128 8 |
Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least one port, some of those nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could have no members if there are not enough ports installed. In the S-Series, those ports could be provided by stack members.
The commands in this section are specific to Port Channel interfaces:
- channel-member
- group
- interface port-channel
- minimum-links
• port-channel failover-group
• show config
• show interfaces port-channel
• show port-channel-flow

Note: The FTOS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG on both switches manually. For information on FTOS Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to Chapter 20, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
For more information on configuring and using Port Channels, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide.
channel-member

| Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on S-Series |
| Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series |
| pre-Version 6.2.1.0 Introduced for E-Series |
Usage Information
Use the interface port-channel command to access this command.
You cannot add an interface to a Port Channel if the interface contains an IP address in its configuration. Only the shutdown, description, mtu, and ip mtu commands can be configured on an interface if it is to be added to a Port Channel. The mtu and ip mtu commands are only available when the chassis is in Jumbo mode.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels are:
- All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
- The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members.
Example: If the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the Port Channel's MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
When an interface is removed from a Port Channel with the no channel-member command syntax, the interface reverts to its configuration prior to joining the Port Channel.
An interface can belong to only one Port Channel.
On the E-Series TeraScale, you can add up to 16 interfaces to a Port Channel; E-Series ExaScale can have up to 64. You can have eight interfaces per Port Channel on the C-Series and S-Series. The interfaces can be located on different line cards but must be the same physical type and speed (for example, all 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces). However, you can combine 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces in the same Port Channel.
If the Port Channel contains a mix of interfaces with 100 Mb/s speed and 1000 Mb/s speed, the software disables those interfaces whose speed does not match the speed of the first interface configured and enabled in the Port Channel. If that first interface goes down, the Port Channel does not change its designated speed; you must disable and re-enable the Port Channel or change the order of the channel members configuration to change the designated speed. Refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide for more information on Port Channels.

| FTOS (conf) #int port-channel 2 |
| FTOS (conf-if-po-2) # |
Usage Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address). You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN.
The shutdown, description, and name commands are the only commands that you can configure on an interface while it is a member of a Port Channel. To add a physical interface to a Port Channel, the interface can only have the shutdown, description, and name commands configured. The Port Channel's configuration is applied to the interfaces within the Port Channel.
A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on the first interface configured in the Port Channel and enabled, FTOS determines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s as the common speed. Refer to channel-member for more information.
If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, then the mtu and ip mtu commands can also be configured. The Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the Port Channel interface.

Note: In a Jumbo-enabled system, all members of a Port Channel must be configured with the same link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.

Usage Information
Since this command calculates based on a Layer 2 hash algorithm, use this command to display flows for switched Layer 2 packets, not for routed packets (use the show ip flow command to display routed packets).
The show port-channel-flow command returns the egress port identification in a given port-channel, if a valid flow is entered. A mismatched flow error occurs if MAC-based hashing is configured for a Layer 2 interface and the user is trying to display a Layer 3 flow.
The output will display three entries:
- Egress port for unfragmented packets.
- In the event of fragmented packets, egress port of the first fragment.
- In the event of fragmented packets, egress port of the subsequent fragments.
Example
show port-channel-flow outgoing-port-channel number incoming-interface interface source-mac address destination-mac address
- Load-balance is configured for MAC
- Load balance is configured for IP 4-tuple/2-tuple for the C-Series and S-Series
- A non-IP payload is going out of Layer 2 LAG interface that is a member of VLAN with an IP address.

Usage Configure the ip domain-list command up to 6 times to configure a list of possible domain names. Information
If both the ip domain-name and ip domain-list commands are configured, the software will try to resolve the name using the ip domain-name command. If the name is not resolved, the software goes through the list of names configured with the ip domain-list command to find a match.
Use the following steps to enable dynamic resolution of hosts:
- specify a domain name server with the ip name-server command.
- enable DNS with the ip domain-lookup command.
To view current bindings, use the show hosts command. To view DNS related configuration, use the show running-config resolve command.

ip mtu

Set the IP MTU (frame size) of the packet transmitted by the RPM for the line card interface. If the packet must be fragmented, FTOS sets the size of the fragmented packets to the size specified in this command.
Syntax ip mtu value
To return to the default IP MTU value, enterno ip mtu.
Parameters
| value | Enter the maximum MTU size if the IP packet is fragmented. |
| Default: 1500 bytes | |
| Range: 576 to 9234 |
Defaults
1500 bytes

Command History
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
pre-Version 6.1.1.0 Introduced for E-Series
Usage Information
When you enter no mtu command, FTOS reduces the ip mtu value to 1536 bytes. To return the IP MTU value to the default, enter no ip mtu.
You must compensate for Layer 2 header when configuring link MTU on an Ethernet interface or FTOS may not fragment packets. If the packet includes a Layer 2 header, the difference between the link MTU and IP MTU (ip mtu command) must be enough bytes to include for the Layer 2 header.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels and VLANs are as follows.
Port Channels:
All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
- The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members.
Example: if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the Port Channel's MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
VLANs:
- All members of a VLAN must have same IP MTU value.
- Members can have different Link MTU values. Tagged members must have a link MTU 4 bytes higher than untagged members to account for the packet tag.
- The VLAN link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the VLAN members.
Example: The VLAN contains tagged members with Link MTU of 1522 and IP MTU of 1500 and untagged members with Link MTU of 1518 and IP MTU of 1500. The VLAN's Link MTU cannot be higher than 1518 bytes and its IP MTU cannot be higher than 1500 bytes.
Table 16-2. Difference between Link MTU and IP MTU
| Layer 2 Overhead Difference between Link MTU and IP MTU | |
| Ethernet (untagged) 18 bytes | |
| VLAN Tag 22 bytes | |
| Untagged Packet with VLAN-Stack Header 22 bytes | |
| Tagged Packet with VLAN-Stack Header 26 bytes | |

Usage Using the following example of a static route: Information ip route 33.33.33.0 /24 gigabitethernet 0/0 172.31.5.43
- The software installs a next hop that is not on the directly connected subnet but which recursively resolves to a next hop on the interface's configured subnet. In the example, if gig 0/0 has ip address on subnet 2.2.2.0 and if 172.31.5.43 recursively resolves to 2.2.2.0, FTOS installs the static route.
- When the interface goes down, FTOS withdraws the route.
- When the interface comes up, FTOS re-installs the route.
- When recursive resolution is “broken,” FTOS withdraws the route.
- When recursive resolution is satisfied, FTOS re-installs the route.

Usage Information
By default this command is disabled. When enabled, all the Layer 3 unicast routed data traffic going through a VLAN member port is flooded across all the member ports of that VLAN. There might be some ARP table entries which are resolved through ARP packets which had Ethernet MAC SA different from MAC information inside the ARP packet. This unicast data traffic flooding occurs only for those packets which use these ARP entries.
load-balance (C-Series and S-Series)

By default for C-Series and S-Series, FTOS uses an IP 4-tuple (IP SA, IP DA, Source Port, and Destination Port) to distribute IP traffic over members of a Port Channel as well as equal-cost paths. To designate another method to balance traffic over Port Channel members, use the load-balance command.
Syntax
load-balance {ip-selection [dest-ip | source-ip]} | {mac [dest-mac | source-dest-mac | source-mac]} | {tcp-udp [enable]}
To return to the default setting (IP 4-tuple), use the no version of the command.
Parameters
ip-selection {dest-ip | source-ip}
Enter the keywords to distribute IP traffic based on the following criteria:
- dest-ip—Uses destination IP address and destination port fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded to.
- source-ip—Uses source IP address and source port fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded to.
| mac {dest-mac | source-dest-mac | source-mac} | Enter the keywords to distribute MAC traffic based on the following criteria:•dest-mac—Uses the destination MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded to.•source-dest-mac—Uses the destination and source MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded to.•source-mac—Uses the source MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, source module ID and source port ID fields to hash. The hashing mechanism returns a 3-bit index indicating which port the packet should be forwarded to. | |
| tcp-udp enable | Enter the keywords to distribute traffic based on the following:•enable—Takes the TCP/UDP source and destination ports into consideration when doing hash computations. (By default, this is enabled) | |

load-balance (E-Series)

By default, for E-Series chassis, FTOS uses an IP 5-tuple to distribute IP traffic over members of a Port Channel as well as equal cost paths. To designate another method to balance traffic over Port Channel members, use the load-balance command.

load-balance [ip-selection 3-tuple | ip-selection packet-based] [mac]
To return to the default setting (IP 5-tuple), use one of the following commands:
- no load-balance ip-selection 3-tuple
- no load-balance ip-selection packet-based
- no load-balance mac
Parameters
| ip-selection 3-tuple | Enter the keywords ip-selection 3-tuple to distribute IP traffic based on the following criteria:IP source addressIP destination addressIP Protocol typeNote: For IPV6, only the first 32 bits (LSB) of IP SA and IP DA are used for hash generation. |
| ip-selection packet-based | Enter the keywords ip-selection packet-based to distribute IPV4 traffic based on the IP Identification field in the IPV4 header.This option does not affect IPV6 traffic; that is, IPV6 traffic is not distributed when this command is executed.Note: Hash-based load-balancing on MPLS does not work when packet-based hashing (load-balance ip-selection packet-based) is enabled. |

Usage Information
This command provides egress port information for a given IP flow. This is useful in identifying which interface the packet will follow in the case of Port-channel and Equal Cost Multi Paths. Use this command for routed packed only. For switched packets use the show port-channel-flow command
show ip flow does not compute the egress port information when load-balance mac hashing is also configured due to insufficient information (the egress MAC is not available).
S-Series produces the following error message:
%Error: Unable to read IP route table
C-Series produces the message:
%Error: FIB cannot compute the egress port with the current trunk hash setting.

IPv6 Access Control Lists (IPv6 ACLs)
Overview
IPv6 ACLs and IPv6 Route Map commands are supported on platforms C E S
- IPv6 ACL Commands
• IPv6 Route Map Commands

Note: For IPv4 ACL commands, see Chapter 7, Access Control Lists (ACL).
Important Points to Remember
- S-Series systems support Ingress IPv6 ACLs.
- The S55 supports both Ingress and Egress IPv6 ACLs. E-Series platforms require IPv6-ExtACL CAM profile to support IPv6 ACLs.
- C-Series platforms require manual CAM usage space allotment. Refer to cam-acl later in this document.
- Egress IPv6 ACL and IPv6 ACL on Loopback interface is not supported.
- Reference to an empty ACL will permit any traffic.
- ACLs are not applied to self-originated traffic (e.g. Control Protocol traffic not affected by IPv6 ACL since the routed bit is not set for Control Protocol traffic and for egress ACLs the routed bit must be set).
- The same access list name can be used for both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs.
- Both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs can be applied on an interface at the same time.
- IPv6 ACLs can be applied on physical interfaces and a logical interfaces (Port-channel/VLAN).
- Non-contiguous masks are not supported in source or destination addresses in IPv6 ACL entries.
- Since prefix mask is specified in /x format in IPv6 ACLs, inverse mask is not supported.
IPv6 ACL Commands
The following commands configure IPv6 ACLs:
- cam-acl
• clear counters ipv6 access-group - deny
- deny icmp
- deny tcp
-
deny udp
-
ipv6 access-group
- ipv6 access-list
- permit
- permit icmp
- permit tcp
- permit udp
- remark
- resequence access-list
- resequence prefix-list ipv6
• seq
• show cam-acl
• show config
• show ipv6 accounting access-list
• show running-config acl - test cam-usage
cam-acl

Allocate space for IPv6 ACLs.
Syntax
cam-acl {default | l2acl 1-10 ipv4acl 1-10 ipv6acl 0-10 ipv4qos 1-10 l2qos 1-10}
Parameters
| default | Use the default CAM profile settings, and set the CAM as follows.L3 ACL (ipv4acl): 6L2 ACL(l2acl) : 5IPv6 L3 ACL (ipv6acl): 0L3 QoS (ipv4qos): 1L2 QoS (l2qos): 1 |
| l2acl 1-10 ipv4acl 1-10 ipv6acl 0-10 ipv4qos 1-10 l2qos 1-10 | Allocate space to support IPv6 ACLs. You must enter all of the profiles and a range.Enter the CAM profile name followed by the amount to be allotted.The total space allocated must equal 13.The ipv6acl range must be a factor of 2. |
Command Modes
CONFIGURATION
Command History
Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on the S55.
Version 8.2.1.0 Introduced on the S-Series
Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series
Usage Information
You must save the new CAM settings to the startup-config (write-mem or copy run start) then reload the system for the new settings to take effect.
The total amount of space allowed is 16 FP Blocks. System flow requires 3 blocks and these cannot be reallocated.
When configuring space for IPv6 ACLs, the total number of Blocks must equal 13.
Ranges for the CAM profiles are 1-10, except for the ipv6acl profile which is 0-10. The ipv6acl allocation must be a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
clear counters ipv6 access-group

Erase all counters maintained for the IPv6 access lists.
Syntax
clear counters ipv6 access-group [access-list-name]
Parameters
access-list-name (OPTIONAL) Enter the name of a configured access-list, up to 140 characters.

deny

Configure a filter that drops IPv6 packets that match the filter criteria.
Syntax
deny {ipv6-protocol-number | icmp | ipv6 | tcp | udp}
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
- Use the no seq sequence-number command syntax if you know the filter's sequence number or
• Use the no deny {ipv6-protocol-number | icmp | ipv6 | tcp | udp} command.
Parameters
ip-protocol-number Enter an IPv6 protocol number.
Range: 0 to 255
icmp Enter the keyword icmp to deny Internet Control Message Protocol version 6.

deny icmp C E S
Syntax
Configure a filter to drop all or specific ICMP messages.
deny icmp { source address mask | any | host ipv6-address } { destination address | any | host ipv6-address } [message-type] [count [byte]] | [log] [monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
- Use the no seq sequence-number command syntax if you know the filter's sequence number or
- Use the no deny icmp {source address mask | any | host ipv6-address} {destination address | any | host ipv6-address} command.
Parameters
| source address | Enter the IPv6 address of the network or host from which the packets were sent in the x:x:x:x::x format followed by the prefix length in the /x format. Range: /0 to /128 The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zero. |

Usage
Information
This command applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 CAM Profiles, but is best used when verifying QoS optimization for IPv6 ACLs.
QoS Optimization for IPv6 ACLs does not impact the CAM usage for applying a policy on a single (or the first of several) interfaces. It is most useful when a policy is applied across multiple interfaces; it can reduce the impact to CAM usage across subsequent interfaces.
Example The following example shows the output shown when using the test cam-usage command.

Command Modes CONFIGURATION
| Command History | Version 8.2.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale |
| Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on C-Series | |
| Version 7.4.1.0 Introduced |
Usage Information Since this command is enabled by default, it does not appear in the running configuration. When unicast routing is disabled, the no ipv6 unicast-routing command is included in the running configuration. Whenever unicast routing is disabled or re-enabled, FTOS generates a syslog message indicating the action.
Disabling unicast routing on an E-Series chassis causes the following behavior:
- static and protocol learnt routes are removed from RTM and from the CAM; packet forwarding to these routes is terminated.
- connected routes and resolved neighbors remain in the CAM and new IPv6 neighbors are still discoverable
• additional protocol adjacencies (OSPFv3 and BGP4) are brought down and no new adjacencies are formed - the IPv6 address family configuration (under router bgp) is deleted
- IPv6 Multicast traffic continues to flow unhindered

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
Overview
This chapter contains commands for Dell Networking's implementation of Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for the creation of dynamic link aggregation groups (LAGs — called port-channels in FTOS parlance). For static LAG commands, see the section Port Channel Commands in the Interfaces chapter), based on the standards specified in the IEEE 802.3 Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications.
Commands in this chapter generally are supported on all three Dell Networking platforms — C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series — as indicated by the following symbols under command headings: C E S
Commands
Use the following commands for LACP:
- clear lacp counters
- debug lacp
- lacp long-timeout
- lacp port-priority
- lacp system-priority
- port-channel mode
• port-channel-protocol lacp
• show lacp
In addition, an FTOS option provides hitless dynamic LACP states (no noticeable impact to dynamic LACP states after an RPM failover) on E-Series.
clear lacp counters

Clear Port Channel counters.
Syntax
clear lacp port-channel-number counters
Parameters
port-channel-number
Enter the Port Channel number to clear the counters.
C-Series and S-Series Range: 1-128
E-Series Range: 1-255 for TeraScale
Defaults
Without a Port Channel specified, the command clears all Port Channel counters.

| Defaults | Not configured. |
| Command Modes | CONFIGURATION |
| Usage Information | During boot-up in a stacking configuration, the system must be able to reach the DHCP server with the image and configuration image. During bootup, only untagged DHCP requests are sent to the DHCP server to receive an offer on static LAGs between switches. The DHCP server must be configured to start in jumpstart mode. If switches are connected using LACP port-channel like ToR, use the port-channel parameter on the TOR side of the configuration to allow member ports of a completely un-grouped lacp port-channel to inherit vlan membership of that port channel to ensure untagged packets reach the DHCP server located on the TOR. To ungroup the port-channel configurations, use the no lacp ungroup member-independent command. |

Command Modes
INTERFACE
Command History
| Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on the S55. | |
| Version 8.3.1.0 | Addedvlanoption on E-Series. |
| Version 8.2.1.0 Introduced on S-Series | |
| Version 7.7.1.0 | Introduced on C-Series; addedstation-moveoption |
| Version 6.5.1.0 Added support for MAC Learning-Limit on LAG | |
Usage Information
This command and its options are supported on physical interfaces, static LAGs, LACP LAGs, and VLANs.
If the vlan option is not specified, then the MAC address counters is not VLAN-based. That is, the sum of the addresses learned on all VLANs (not having any learning limit configuration) is counted against the MAC learning limit.
MAC Learning Limit violation logs and actions are not available on a per-VLAN basis.
With the keyword no-station-move option, MAC addresses learned through this feature on the selected interface will persist on a per-VLAN basis, even if received on another interface. Enabling or disabling this option has no effect on already learned MAC addresses.
Once the MAC address learning limit is reached, the MAC addresses do not age out unless you add the dynamic option. To clear statistics on MAC address learning, use the clear counters command with the learning-limit parameter.

Note: If you configure this command on an interface in a routed VLAN, and once the MAC addresses learned reaches the limit set in the mac learning-limit command, IP protocols are affected. For example, VRRP sets multiple VRRP Masters, and OSPF may not come up.
When a channel member is added to a port-channel and there is not enough ACL CAM space, then the MAC limit functionality on that port-channel is undefined. When this occurs, un-configure the existing configuration first and then reapply the limit with a lower value.

Usage Information
Use this command to check various flags associated with each MAC address in the CAM.
Figure 21-1 shows information for two MAC addresses. The second entry is for MAC address 00:00:a0:00:00:00 (leading 0s are not shown), which is shown as learned on VLAN ID 4094 (0xfff), as shown below in Figure 21-2 and Figure 21-3. Above, “STATIC_BIT=0” means that the address is dynamically learned.
When an entry is listed as STATIC_BIT=1, its HIT_SA is 0, which signifies that this address is not getting continuously learned trough traffic. The HIT_DA is set when a new learn happens, and after the first age sweep, it gets reset.

MAC Accounting information can be accessed using SNMP via the Dell Networking Monitor MIB. For more information on enabling SNMP, refer to Chapter 3 of the FTOS Configuration Guide.

Note: Currently, the Dell Networking MONITOR MIB does not return the MAC addresses in an increasing order via SNMP. As a workaround, you can use the -C c option in snmpwalk or snmpbulkwalk to access the Dell Networking MONITOR MIB. For example:
% snmpwalk -C c -v 2c -c public 133.33.33.131 enterprise.6027.3.3.3

Virtual LAN (VLAN) Commands
The following commands configure and monitor Virtual LANs (VLANs). VLANs are a virtual interface and use many of the same commands as physical interfaces.
You can configure an IP address and Layer 3 protocols on a VLAN called Inter-VLAN routing. FTP, TFTP, ACLs and SNMP are not supported on a VLAN.
Occasionally, while sending broadcast traffic over multiple Layer 3 VLANs, the VRRP state of a VLAN interface may continually switch between Master and Backup.

FTOS#
Usage Information
FTOS supports a command to enable viewing of the VLAN input/output counters. This command also applies to SNMP requests. If the command is not enabled, IFM returns zero values for VLAN output counters.
SNMP counters differ from show interface counters as SNMP counters must maintain history. At any point, the value of SNMP counters reflect the amount of traffic being carried on the VLAN.
VLAN output counters may show higher than expected values because source-suppression drops are counted.
During an RPM failover event, all SNMP counters remain intact. The counters will sync over to the secondary RPM.

Link Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP)
Overview
Link Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP) advertises connectivity and management from the local station to the adjacent stations on an IEEE 802 LAN. LLDP facilitates multi-vendor interoperability by using standard management tools to discover and make available a physical topology for network management. The FTOS implementation of LLDP is based on IEEE standard 801.1ab.
The basic LLDP commands are supported by FTOS on all Dell Networking systems, as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:
• C-Series: ©
• E-Series: E
• S-Series: 5
Commands
This chapter contains the following commands, in addition to the commands in the related section — LLDP-MED Commands.
- advertise dot1-tlv
- advertise dot3-tlv
- advertise management
- advertise management-tlv
- advertise management-tlv (Interface)
- clear lldp counters
- clear lldp neighbors
- debug lldp interface
- disable
- hello
• mode - multiplier
- protocol lldp (Configuration)
- protocol lldp (Interface)
• show lldp neighbors
• show lldp statistics
• show running-config lldp
The starting point for using LLDP is invoking LLDP with the protocol lldp command in either the CONFIGURATION or INTERFACE mode.
The information distributed by LLDP is stored by its recipients in a standard Management Information Base (MIB). The information can be accessed by a network management system through a management protocol such as SNMP.
See the Link Layer Discovery Protocol chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide for details on implementing LLDP/LLDP-MED.

LLDP-MED Commands
The LLDP-MED commands in this section are:
FTOS LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) commands are an extension of the set of LLDP TLV advertisement commands. The C-Series and S-Series support all commands, as indicated by these symbols underneath the command headings: C S
The E-Series generally supports the commands, too, as indicated by the symbol under command headings. However, LLDP-MED commands are more useful on the C-Series and the S50V model of the S-Series, because they support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices.
As defined by ANSI/TIA-1057, LLDP-MED provides organizationally specific TLVs (Type Length Value), so that endpoint devices and network connectivity devices can advertise their characteristics and configuration information. The Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) for the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is 00-12-BB.

Version 6.5.1.0 Introduced
Usage Information
The max-hops is a configuration command that applies to both the IST and all MST instances in the MSTP region. The BPDUs sent out by the root switch set the remaining-hops parameter to the configured value of max-hops. When a switch receives the BPDU, it decrements the received value of the remaining hops and uses the resulting value as remaining-hops in the BPDUs. If the remaining-hops reaches zero, the switch discards the BPDU and ages out any information that it holds for the port.
msti

Configure Multiple Spanning Tree instance, bridge priority, and one or multiple VLANs mapped to the MST instance.
Syntax
msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority priority}
To disable mapping or bridge priority no msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority priority}

Usage Information
This features allows the user to limit the number of multicast entries on the system. This number is the sum total of all the multicast entries on all line cards in the system. On each line card, the multicast module will only install the maximum possible number of entries, depending on the configured CAM profile.
The IN-L3-McastFib CAM partition is used to store multicast routes and is a separate hardware limit that is exists per port-pipe. Any software-configured limit might be superseded by this hardware space limitation. The opposite is also true, the CAM partition might not be exhausted at the time the system-wide route limit set by the ip multicast-limit is reached.

mac-flood-list

Provide an exception to the restrict-flood configuration so that multicast frames within a specified MAC address range to be flooded on all ports in a VLAN.
Syntax
mac-flood-list mac-address mask vlan vlan-list [min-speed speed]
Parameters
| mac-address | Enter a multicast MAC address in hexadecimal format. |
| mac-mask | Enter the MAC Address mask. |
| vlan vlan-list | Enter the VLAN(s) in which flooding will be restricted. Separate values by commas—no spaces (1,2,3) or indicate a list of values separated by a hyphen (1-3).Range: 1 to 4094 | |

Command Modes
EXEC Privilege
| Command History | Version 7.5.1.0 Expanded to support originator |
| Version 7.4.1.0 Expanded to support intermediate (transit) router | |
| E-Series legacy command |
Usage Information
Mtrace is an IGMP protocol based on the Multicast trace route facility and implemented according to the IETF draft “A trace route facility for IP Multicast” (draft-fenner-traceroute-ipm-01.txt). FTOS supports the Mtrace client and transmit functionality.
As an Mtrace client, FTOS transmits Mtrace queries, receives, parses and prints out the details in the response packet received.
As an Mtrace transit or intermediate router, FTOS returns the response to Mtrace queries. Upon receiving the Mtrace request, FTOS computes the RPF neighbor for the source, fills in the request and the forwards the request to the RPF neighbor. While computing the RPF neighbor, the static mroute and mBGP route is preferred over the unicast route.
queue backplane multicast
E Reallocate the amount of bandwidth dedicated to multicast traffic.
Syntax queue backplane multicast bandwidth-percentage percentage
| Parameters | percentage | Enter the percentage of backplane bandwidth to be dedicated to multicast traffic.Range: 5-95 |
| Defaults | 80% of the scheduler weight is for unicast traffic and 20% is for multicast traffic by default. | |

restrict-flooding
E Prevent Layer 2 multicast traffic from being flooded on ports below a specified link speed.
Syntax restrict-flooding multicast min-speed speed
| Parameters | min-speed min-speed | Enter the minimum link speed that a port must have to receive flooded multicast traffic. Range: 1000 |
| Defaults | None | |
| Command Modes | INTERFACE VLAN | |
| Command History | Version 7.7.1.0 Introduced on E-Series | |
Usage Information
This command restricts flooding for all unknown multicast traffic on ports below a certain speed. If you want some multicast traffic to be flooded on slower ports, use the command mac-flood-list without the min-speed option, in combination with restrict-flooding. With mac-flood-list you specify the traffic you want to be flooded using a MAC address range.
You may not use unicast MAC addresses when specifying MAC address ranges, and do not overlap MAC addresses ranges, when creating multiple mac-flood-list entries for the same VLAN. Restricted Layer 2 Flooding is not compatible with MAC accounting or VMANs.

Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is defined in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It defines mechanisms for solving the following problems:
- Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link.
- Prefix discovery: Hosts can discover address prefixes for the link.
- Parameter discovery
- Address autoconfiguration — configuration of addresses for an interface
- Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address
- Next-hop determination
- Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD): Determine that a neighbor is no longer reachable on the link.
- Duplicate Address Detection (DAD): Allow a node to check whether a proposed address is already in use.
- Redirect: The router can inform a node about a better first-hop.
NDP makes use of the following five ICMPv6 packet types in its implementation:
- Router Solicitation
- Router Advertisement
- Neighbor Solicitation
- Neighbor Advertisement
- Redirect
Commands
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) commands in this chapter are:
- clear ipv6 neighbors
- ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
- ipv6 nd max-ra-interval
- ipv6 nd mtu
- ipv6 nd other-config-flag
- ipv6 nd prefix
- ipv6 nd ra-lifetime
- ipv6 nd reachable-time

ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
Set the managed address configuration flag in the IPv6 router advertisement. The description of this flag from RFC 2461 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2461) is:
M: 1-bit “Managed address configuration” flag. When set, hosts use the administered (stateful) protocol for address autoconfiguration in addition to any addresses autoconfigured using stateless address autoconfiguration. The use of this flag is described in:
Thomson, S. and T. Narten, "IPv6 Address Autoconfiguration", RFC 2462, December 1998.
Syntax ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
To clear the flag from the IPv6 router advertisements, use the no ipv6 nd managed-config-flag command.
Defaults The default flag is 0.
Command Modes INTERFACE
ipv6 nd max-ra-interval
E Configure the interval between the IPv6 router advertisement (RA) transmissions on an interface.
Syntax ipv6 nd max-ra-interval {interval} min-ra-interval {interval}
To restore the default interval, use the no ipv6 nd max-ra-interval command.
| Parameters | max-ra-interval {interval} | Enter the keyword max-ra-interval followed by the interval in seconds. Range: 4 to 1800 seconds |
| min-ra-interval {interval} | Enter the keyword min-ra-interval followed by the interval in seconds. Range: 3 to 1350 seconds |
Defaults Max RA interval: 600 seconds, Min RA interval: 200 seconds
Command Modes INTERFACE
ipv6 nd mtu
C E S Configure an IPv6 neighbor discovery.
Syntax ipv6 nd mtu number
| Parameters | mtu number Set the MTU advertisement value in Routing PrefixAdvertisement packets. Range: 1280 to 9234 |
Defaults No default values or behavior
Command Modes INTERFACE
Command History Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on S55
Version 8.3.1.0 Introduced
Usage The ip nd mtu command sets the value advertised to routers. It does not set the actual MTU rate. For example, if ip nd mtu is set to 1280, the interface will still pass 1500-byte packets.
The mtu command sets the actual frame size passed, and can be larger than the advertised MTU. If the mtu setting is larger than the ip nd mtu, an error message is sent, but the configuration is accepted.
% Error: nd ra mtu is greater than link mtu, link mtu will be used.
| Related Commands | mtu | Set the maximum link MTU (frame size) for an Ethernet interface. |
ipv6 nd other-config-flag
Set the other stateful configuration flag in the IPv6 router advertisement. The description of this flag from RFC 2461 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2461) is:
O: 1-bit “Other stateful configuration” flag. When set, hosts use the administered (stateful) protocol for autoconfiguration of other (non-address) information. The use of this flag is described in:
Thomson, S. and T. Narten, "IPv6 Address Autoconfiguration", RFC 2462, December 1998.
Syntax ipv6 nd other-config-flag
To clear the flag from the IPv6 router advertisements, use the no ipv6 nd other-config-flag command.

A Lifetime of 0 indicates that the router is not a default router and SHOULD NOT appear on the default router list. The Router Lifetime applies only to the router's usefulness as a default router; it does not apply to information contained in other message fields or options. Options that need time limits for their information include their own lifetime fields.
Syntax ipv6 nd ra-lifetime seconds
To restore the default values, use the no ipv6 nd ra-lifetime command.
| Parameters | seconds | Enter the lifetime value in seconds. Range: 0 to 9000 |
Defaults 9000 seconds
Command Modes INTERFACE
ipv6 nd reachable-time
Configure the amount of time that a remote IPv6 node is considered available after a reachability confirmation event has occurred. The description of reachable time from RFC 2461(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2461) is:
Reachable Time: 32-bit unsigned integer. The time, in milliseconds, that a node assumes a neighbor is reachable after having received a reachability confirmation. Used by the Neighbor Unreachability Detection algorithm. A value of zero means unspecified (by this router).

Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3)
Overview
Open Shortest Path First version 2 for IPv4 is supported on platforms C E S
Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) for IPv6 is supported on platforms C E
Note: The C-Series supports OSPFv3 with FTOS version 7.8.1.0 and later.
OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which means that it distributes routing information between routers in a single Autonomous System (AS). OSPF is also a link-state protocol in which all routers contain forwarding tables derived from information about their links to their neighbors.
The fundamental mechanisms of OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, etc.) are the same for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. OSPFv3 runs on a per-link basis instead of on a per-IP-subnet basis.
This chapter is divided into 2 sections. There is no overlap between the two sets of commands. You cannot use an OSPFv2 command in the IPv6 OSPFv3 mode.
- OSPFv2 Commands
Note: FTOS version 7.8.1.0 introduces Multi-Process OSPF on IPv4 (OSPFv2) only. It is not supported on OSPFv3 (IPv6).
Note that the CLI now requires that the Process ID be included when entering the ROUTER-OSPF mode. Each command entered applies to the specified OSPFv2 process only.
OSPFv2 Commands
The Dell Networking implementation of OSPFv2 is based on IETF RFC 2328. The following commands enable you to configure and enable OSPFv2.

Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced support for Multi-Process OSPF.
Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on S-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series and E-Series
Usage Information
In OSPF, flooding is the most resource-consuming task. The flooding algorithm, described in RFC-2328, requires that OSPF flood LSAs (Link State Advertisements) on all interfaces, as governed by LSA's flooding scope (see Section 13 of the RFC). When multiple direct links connect two routers, the RFC-2328 flooding algorithm generates significant redundant information across all links.
By default, FTOS implements an enhanced flooding procedure that dynamically and intelligently determines when to optimize flooding. Whenever possible, the OSPF task attempts to reduce flooding overhead by selectively flooding on a subset of the interfaces between two routers.
When flood-2328 is enabled, this command configures FTOS to flood LSAs on all interfaces.

The default keyword sets all interfaces as passive. You can then configure individual interfaces, where adjacencies are desired, using the no passive-interface interface command. The no form of this command is inserted into the configuration for individual interfaces when the no passive-interface interface command is issued while passive-interface default is configured.
This command behavior has changed as follows:
passive-interface interface
- The previous no passive-interface interface is removed from the running configuration.
- The ABR status for the router is updated.
- Save passive-interface interface into the running configuration.
passive-interface default
- All present and future OSPF interface are marked as passive.
- Any adjacency are explicitly terminated from all OSPF interfaces.
- All previous passive-interface interface commands are removed from the running configuration.
- All previous no passive-interface interface commands are removed from the running configuration.
no passive-interface interface
- Remove the interface from the passive list.
- The ABR status for the router is updated.
- If passive-interface default is specified, then save no passive-interface interface into the running configuration.
No passive-interface default
- Clear everything and revert to the default behavior.
- All previously marked passive interfaces are removed.
- May update ABR status.

Usage Information
This command is useful in isolating routing problems between OSPF and RTM. For example, if a route is missing from the RTM/FIB but is visible from the display output of this command, then likely the problem is with downloading the route to the RTM.
This command has the following limitations:
- The display output is sorted by prefixes; intra-area ECMP routes are not displayed together.
- For Type 2 external routes, type1 cost is not displayed.

PIM-Source Specific Mode (PIM-SSM)
Overview
The platforms on which a command is supported is indicated by the character — for the E-Series, for the C-Series, and for the S-Series — that appears below each command heading.
This chapter contains the following sections:
- IPv4 PIM Commands
- IPv4 PIM-Source Specific Mode COMmands
IPv4 PIM Commands
The following commands apply to IPv4 PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, and PIM-DM:
- clear ip pim tib
- debug ip pim
- ip pim dr-priority
- ip pim graceful-restart
- ip pim neighbor-filter
- ip pim query-interval
IPv4 PIM-Source Specific Mode CCommands
The IPv4 PIM-Source Specific Mode (PIM-SSM) commands are:
- ip pim ssm-range
- ip pim join-filter
• show ip pim ssm-range
ip pim ssm-range
C E S Specify the SSM group range using an access-list.
| Syntax | ip pim ssm-range {access_list_name} | |
| Parameters | access_list_name | Enter the name of the access list. |
| Defaults | Default SSM range is 232/8 and ff3x/32 | |
| Command Modes | CONFIGURATION | |
| Command History | Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on S55 | |
| Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale | ||
| Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on S-Series | ||
| Version 7.7.1.0 Introduced on C-Series. | ||
| Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on E-Series. | ||
| Usage Information | FTOS supports standard access list for the SSM range. Extended ACL cannot be used for configuring SSM range. If an Extended ACL is configured and then used in the ip pim ssm-range {access list name} configuration, an error is reported. | |
| However, if ip pim ssm-range {access list name} is configured first and then the ACL is configured as an Extended ACL, an error is not reported and the ACL is not applied to the SSM range. | ||
| FTOS recommended best-practices are to configure the standard ACL, and then apply the ACL to the SSM range. Once the SSM range is applied, the changes are applied internally without requiring clearing of the TIB. | ||
| When ACL rules change, the ACL and PIM modules apply the new rules automatically. | ||
| When SSM range is configured, FTOS supports SSM for configured group range as well as default SSM range. | ||
| When the SSM ACL is removed, PIM SSM is supported for default SSM range only | ||
show ip pim ssm-range

Port Monitoring
Overview
The Port Monitoring feature enables you to monitor network traffic by forwarding a copy of each incoming or outgoing packet from one port to another port.
The commands in this chapter are generally supported on the C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series, with one exception, as noted in the Command History fields and by these symbols under the command headings: C E S
Commands
- description
- flow-based enable
- monitor session
• show config
• show monitor session
• show running-config monitor session - source
Important Points to Remember
- On the E-Series, Port Monitoring is supported on TeraScale and ExaScale platforms.
- Port Monitoring is supported on physical ports only. Logical interfaces, such as Port Channels and VLANs, are not supported.
- FTOS supports as many monitor sessions on a system as the number of port-pipes.
- A SONET port can only be configured as a monitored port.
- The monitoring (destination, “MG”) and monitored (source, “MD”) ports must be on the same switch.
- A monitoring port can monitor any physical port in the chassis.
- Only one MG and one MD may be in a single port-pipe.
- A monitoring port can monitor more than one port.
- More than one monitored port can have the same destination monitoring port.
- FTOS on the S-Series supports multiple source ports to be monitored by a single destination port in one monitor session.
- On the S-Series, one monitor session can have only one MG port. There is no restriction on the number of source ports, or destination ports on the chassis.

Note: The monitoring port should not be a part of any other configuration.

Private VLAN (PVLAN)
Overview
Starting with FTOS 7.8.1.0, the Private VLAN (PVLAN) feature of FTOS is available for the C-Series and S-Series: C S
Commands
- ip local-proxy-arp
- private-vlan mode
- private-vlan mapping secondary-vlan
• show interfaces private-vlan
• show vlan private-vlan
• show vlan private-vlan mapping - switchport mode private-vlan
See also the following commands. The command output is augmented in FTOS 7.8.1.0 to provide PVLAN data:
• show arp in Chapter 16, IPv4 Routing
• show vlan in Chapter 21, Layer 2
Private VLANs extend the FTOS security suite by providing Layer 2 isolation between ports within the same private VLAN. A private VLAN partitions a traditional VLAN into subdomains identified by a primary and secondary VLAN pair.
The FTOS private VLAN implementation is based on RFC 3069.
Private VLAN Concepts
Primary VLAN:
The primary VLAN is the base VLAN and can have multiple secondary VLANs. There are two types of secondary VLAN — community VLAN and isolated VLAN:
- A primary VLAN can have any number of community VLANs and isolated VLANs.
- Private VLANs block all traffic to isolated ports except traffic from promiscuous ports. Traffic received from an isolated port is forwarded only to promiscuous ports or trunk ports.
Community VLAN:
A community VLAN is a secondary VLAN of the primary VLAN:
- Ports in a community VLAN can talk to each other. Also, all ports in a community VLAN can talk to all promiscuous ports in the primary VLAN and vice-versa.
- Devices on a community VLAN can communicate with each other via member ports, while devices in an isolated VLAN cannot.
Isolated VLAN:
An isolated VLAN is a secondary VLAN of the primary VLAN:
- Ports in an isolated VLAN cannot talk to each other. Servers would be mostly connected to isolated VLAN ports.
- Isolated ports can talk to promiscuous ports in the primary VLAN, and vice-versa.
Port types:
- Community port: A community port is, by definition, a port that belongs to a community VLAN and is allowed to communicate with other ports in the same community VLAN and with promiscuous ports.
- Isolated port: An isolated port is, by definition, a port that, in Layer 2, can only communicate with promiscuous ports that are in the same PVLAN.
- Promiscuous port: A promiscuous port is, by definition, a port that is allowed to communicate with any other port type.
- Trunk port: A trunk port, by definition, carries VLAN traffic across switches:
- A trunk port in a PVLAN is always tagged.
- Primary or secondary VLAN traffic is carried by the trunk port in tagged mode. The tag on the packet helps identify the VLAN to which the packet belongs.
- A trunk port can also belong to a regular VLAN (non-private VLAN).
ip local-proxy-arp
C S
Enable/disable Layer 3 communication between secondary VLANs in a private VLAN.
Syntax
[no] ip local-proxy-arp
To disable Layer 3 communication between secondary VLANs in a private VLAN, use the no ip local-proxy-arp command in the INTERFACE VLAN mode for the primary VLAN.
To disable Layer 3 communication in a particular secondary VLAN, use the no ip local-proxy-arp command in the INTERFACE VLAN mode for the selected secondary VLAN.
Note: Even after ip-local-proxy-arp is disabled (no ip-local-proxy-arp) in a secondary VLAN, Layer 3 communication may happen between some secondary VLAN hosts, until the ARP timeout happens on those secondary VLAN hosts.
Defaults
Layer 3 communication is disabled between secondary VLANs in a private VLAN.

| Command History | Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on S55 |
| Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on C-Series and S-Series |
| Usage Information | The VLAN: |
| • Can be in only one mode, either community, isolated, or primary. | |
| • Mode can be set to community or isolated even before associating it to a primary VLAN. This secondary VLAN will continue to work normally as a normal VLAN even though it is not associated to a primary VLAN. (A syslog message indicates this.) | |
| • Must not have a port in it when the VLAN mode is being set. | |
| Only ports (and port channels) configured as promiscuous, host, or PVLAN trunk ports (as described above) can be added to the PVLAN. No other regular ports can be added to the PVLAN. |
After using this command to configure a VLAN as a primary VLAN, use the private-vlan mapping secondary-vlan command to map secondary VLANs to this VLAN.

Per-VLAN Spanning Tree plus (PVST+)
Overview
The FTOS implementation of PVST+ (Per-VLAN Spanning Tree plus) is based on the IEEE 802.1d standard Spanning Tree Protocol, but it creates a separate spanning tree for each VLAN configured.
PVST+ (Per-VLAN Spanning Tree plus) is supported by FTOS on all Dell Networking systems, as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:
• C-Series: ©
• E-Series: E
• S-Series: S
Commands
The FTOS PVST+ commands are:
- disable
- description
- extend system-id
- protocol spanning-tree pvst
• show spanning-tree pvst - spanning-tree pvst
• spanning-tree pvst err-disable - tc-flush-standard
- vlan bridge-priority
- vlan forward-delay
- vlan hello-time
- vlan max-age

Note: For easier command line entry, the plus (+) sign is not used at the command line.

Usage Information
| Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on S55 |
| Version 8.2.1.0 Introduced hardware shutdown-on-violation option |
| Version 7.6.1.0 Support added for S-Series |
| Version 7.5.1.0 Support added for C-Series |
| Version 7.4.1.0 Added the optional Bridge Port Data Unit (BPDU) guard |
| Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced |
The BPDU guard option prevents the port from participating in an active STP topology in case a BPDU appears on a port unintentionally, or is mis-configured, or is subject to a DOS attack. This option places the port into an error disable state if a BPDU appears, and a message is logged so that the administrator can take corrective action.

Note: A port configured as an edge port, on a PVST switch, will immediately transition to the forwarding state. Only ports connected to end-hosts should be configured as an edge port. Consider an edge port similar to a port with a spanning-tree portfast enabled.
If shutdown-on-violation is not enabled, BPDUs will still be sent to the RPM CPU.

Quality of Service (QoS)
Overview
FTOS commands for Quality of Service (QoS) include traffic conditioning and congestion control. QoS commands are not universally supported on all Dell Networking platforms. Support is indicated by the C, E and S characters under command headings.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Global Configuration Commands
• Per-Port QoS Commands
• Policy-Based QoS Commands
- Queue-Level Debugging (E-Series Only)
Global Configuration Commands
- qos-rate-adjust
qos-rate-adjust

By default, while rate limiting, policing, and shaping, FTOS does not include the Preamble, SFD, or the IFG fields. These fields are overhead; only the fields from MAC Destination Address to the CRC are used for forwarding and are included in these rate metering calculations. You can optionally include overhead fields in rate metering calculations by enabling QoS Rate Adjustment.
Syntax
qos-rate-adjustment overhead-bytes
| Parameters | overhead-bytes | Include a specified number of bytes of packet overhead to include in rate limiting, policing, and shaping calculations.C-Series and S-Series Range: 1-31E-Series Range: 1-144 |
| Defaults | QoS Rate Adjustment is disabled by default, and no qos-rate-adjust is listed in the running-configuration | |
| hand Modes | CONFIGURATION | |

- dot1p-priority
- rate limit
- rate police
- rate shape
• service-class bandwidth-percentage
• service-class dynamic dot1p
• show interfaces rate - strict-priority queue

Usage Information
Enter this command to honor all incoming 802.1p markings, on incoming switched traffic, on the interface. By default, this facility is not enabled (that is, the 802.1p markings on incoming traffic are not honored).
This command can be applied on both physical interfaces and port channels. When you set the service-class dynamic for a port channel, the physical interfaces assigned to the port channel are automatically configured; you cannot assign the service-class dynamic command to individual interfaces in a port channel.
On the C-Series and S-Series all traffic is by default mapped to the same queue, Queue 0. If you honor dot1p on ingress, then you can create service classes based the queueing strategy using the command service-class dynamic dot1p from INTERFACE mode. You may apply this queuing strategy to all interfaces by entering this command from CONFIGURATION mode.
- All dot1p traffic is mapped to Queue 0 unless service-class dynamic dot1p is enabled on an interface or globally.
- Layer 2 or Layer 3 service policies supercede dot1p service classes.

Usage
Information
Once a unicast queue is configured as strict-priority, that particular queue, on the entire chassis, is treated as strict-priority queue. Traffic for a strict priority is scheduled before any other queues are serviced. For example, if you send 100% line rate traffic over the SP queue, it will starve all other queues on the ports on which this traffic is flowing.
Policy-Based QoS Commands
Policy-based traffic classification is handled with class maps. These maps classify unicast traffic into one of eight classes in E-Series and one of four classes in C-Series and S-Series. FTOS enables you to match multiple class maps and specify multiple match criteria. Policy-based QoS is not supported on logical interfaces, such as port-channels, VLANS, or loopbacks. The commands are:
• bandwidth-percentage
- bandwidth-weight

In other words, if a rate police configuration exists in the aggregate QoS policy, the rate police configurations in the per-class QoS are ignored. Marking configurations in the per-class input QoS policy still apply to each queue.
- If only an aggregate output QoS policy exists, egress traffic conditioning configurations (rate-limit and rate-shape) in the aggregate output QoS policy will apply. Scheduling and queuing configurations in the aggregate output QoS policy (if existing) are ignored. Each queue will use default scheduling and queuing configuration (Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) and Bandwidth).
- If the aggregate output QoS policy and per-queue output QoS policy co-exist, the aggregate output QoS policy will preempt a per-queue output QoS policy on egress traffic conditioning (rate-limit). In other words, if a rate limit configuration exists in the aggregate output QoS policy, the rate limit configurations in per-queue output QoS policies are ignored. Scheduling and queuing configurations (WRED and Bandwidth) in the per-queue output QoS policy still apply to each queue.

Command History
Version 7.5.1.0 Added support for multicast-bandwidth
Version 7.4.1.0 and 6.5.3.0 Introduced on E-Series
Usage Information
This command does not uniquely identify a queue, but rather identifies only a set of queues. The WRED curve is applied to all eight egress Multicast queues.
Important Points to Remember—multicast-bandwidth option
- A unique Multicast Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) setting can be applied only on a per port-pipe basis. The minimum percentage of the multicast bandwidth assigned to any of the ports in the port-pipe will take effect for the entire port-pipe.
- If the percentage of multicast bandwidth is 0, control traffic going through multicast queues are dropped.
- The no form of the command without multicast-bandwidth and wired-profile, will remove both the wired-profile and multicast-bandwidth configuration.
- On 10 Gigabit ports only, the multicast bandwidth option will work only if the total unicast bandwidth is more than the multicast bandwidth.
- If strict priority is applied along with multicast-bandwidth, the effect of strict priority is on all ports where unicast and multicast bandwidth are applied.
- When multicast bandwidth is assigned along with unicast bandwidth, first multicast bandwidth will be reserved for that port, then the remaining unicast bandwidth configured is adjusted according to the bandwidth available after reserving for multicast bandwidth.

Version 7.7.1.1 Introduced on S-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on C-Series
pre-Version 6.1.1.1 Introduced on E-Series
Usage Information
The show qos statistics command can be used on the C-Series, but the wred-profile keyword must be omitted in the syntax. The show qos statistics output differs from the ED and EE series line cards and the EF series line cards. The QoS statistics for the EF series generates two extra columns, Queued Pkts and Dropped Pkts, see Example 2.

Note: The show qos statistics command displays Matched Packets and Matched Bytes. The show queue statistics egress command (E-Series only) displays Queued Packets and Queued Bytes. The following example explains how these two displays relate to each other.
- 9000 byte size packets are sent from Interface A to Interface B.
- The Matched Packets on Interface A are equal to the Queued Packets on Interface B.
- Matched bytes on Interface A = matched packets *9000
- Queued bytes on Interface B = queued packets *(9020)—Each packet has an additional header of 20 bytes.

Note: In a Layer 2 Policy Map, IPv4/IPv6 rules are not allowed and hence the output contains only L2ACL CAM partition entries.
Table 32-7. test cam-usage Command Example Fields
| Field Description | |
| Linecard Indicates the line card slot number. | |
| Portpipe Indicates the portpipe number. | |
| CAM Partition The CAM space where the rules are added. | |
| Available CAM | Indicates the free CAM space, in the partition, for the classification rules.Note:The CAM entries reserved for the default rules are not included in the Available CAM column; free entries, from the default rules space, can not be used as a policy map for the classification rules. |
Table 32-7. test cam-usage Command Example Fields
| Field Description | |
| Estimated CAM per Port Indicates the number of free CAM entries required (for the classification rules) to apply the input policy map on a single interface. Note: The CAM entries for the default rule are not included in this column; a CAM entry for the default rule is always dedicated to a port and is always available for that interface. | |
| Status (Allowed ports) Indicates if the input policy map configuration on an interface belonging to a linecard/port-pipe is successful—Allowed (n)—or not successful—Exception.The allowed number (n) indicates the number of ports in that port-pipe on which the Policy Map can be applied successfully. | |
Usage Information
This features allows you to determine if the CAM has enough space available before applying the configuration on an interface.
An input policy map with both Trust and Class-map configuration, the Class-map rules are ignored and only the Trust rule is programmed in the CAM. In such an instance, the Estimated CAM output column will contain the size of the CAM space required for the Trust rule and not the Class-map rule.

Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced for E-Series
Usage Information
TeraScale systems display cumulative queued bytes (in KB), cumulative queued packets (in KB), and cumulative dropped packets (in KB).
The display area is limited to 80 spaces to accommodate the screen and for optimal readability. Numbers, that is values, are limited to 12 characters. The numbering conventions are detailed in the table below.
Table 32-10. Numbering Conventions for show queue egress statistics Output
| Value Divide the number by | Quotient Display Examples | ||
| (10^11) - (10^14) | 1024 K 12345678901K | ||
| (10^14) - (10^17) | 1024*1024 M 12345678901M | ||
| > (10^17) | 1024*1024*1024 T 12345678901T |

Note: The show queue statistics command displays Queued Packets and Queued Bytes. The show qos statistics command displays Matched Packets and Matched Bytes. The following example explains how these two outputs relate to each other.
• 9000 byte size packets are sent from Interface A to Interface B.
• The Matched Packets on Interface A are equal to the Queued Packets on Interface B.
- Matched bytes on Interface A = matched packets *9000
- Queued bytes on Interface B = queued packets *(9020)—Each packet has an additional header of 20 bytes.

Router Information Protocol (RIP)
Overview
Router Information Protocol (RIP) is a Distance Vector routing protocol. FTOS supports both RIP version 1 (RIPv1) and RIP version 2 (RIPv2) on C-Series and E-Series and S-Series systems, as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:
• C-Series:
• E-Series: E
• S-Series: S


Note: The C-Series platform supports RIP with FTOS version 7.6.1.0 and later. The S-Series platform supports RIP with FTOS version 7.8.1.0 and later. Prior to 7.6.1.0, only the E-Series platform supported RIP.
The FTOS implementation of RIP is based on IETF RFCs 2453 and RFC 1058. For more information on configuring RIP, refer to FTOS Configuration Guide.

Remote Monitoring (RMON)
Overview
FTOS RMON is implemented on all Dell Networking switching platforms (C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series), as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:
• C-Series: ©
• E-Series: E
• S-Series: 5
FTOS RMON is based on IEEE standards, providing both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring, and long-term statistics collection. FTOS RMON supports the following RMON groups, as defined in RFC-2819, RFC-3273, and RFC-3434:
• Ethernet Statistics Table RFC-2819
- Ethernet Statistics High-Capacity Table RFC-3273, 64bits
- Ethernet History Control Table RFC-2819
• Ethernet History Table RFC-2819
- Ethernet History High-Capacity Table RFC-3273, 64bits
• Alarm Table RFC-2819
• High-Capacity Alarm Table (64bits) RFC-3434, 64bits
• Event Table RFC-2819
- Log Table RFC-2819
FTOS RMON does not support the following statistics:
- etherStatsCollisions
- etherHistoryCollisions
- etherHistoryUtilization

Note: Only SNMP GET/GETNEXT access is supported. Configure RMON using the RMON commands. Collected data is lost during a chassis reboot.
Commands
The FTOS Remote Network Monitoring RMON commands are:
- rmon alarm
- rmon collection history
• rmon collection statistics -
rmon event
-
rmon hc-alarm
• show rmon
• show rmon alarms
• show rmon events

spanning-tree rstp

Configure Port cost, Edge port with optional Bridge Port Data Unit (BPDU) guard, or Port priority on the RSTP.
Syntax
spanning-tree rstp {cost Port cost | edge-port [bpduguard [shutdown-on-violation]] | priority priority}
To remove the port cost, edge port with optional BPDU, or port priority, use the no spanning-tree rstp {cost Port cost | edge-port [bpduguard] | priority priority} command.
Parameters
| cost Port cost | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword cost followed by the port cost value. Range: 1 to 200000 Defaults: 100 Mb/s Ethernet interface = 200000 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface = 20000 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface = 2000 Port Channel interface with one 100 Mb/s Ethernet = 200000 Port Channel interface with one 1-Gigabit Ethernet = 20000 Port Channel interface with one 10-Gigabit Ethernet = 2000 Port Channel with two 1-Gigabit Ethernet = 18000 Port Channel with two 10-Gigabit Ethernet = 1800 Port Channel with two 100-Mbps Ethernet = 180000 |
| edge-port | Enter the keyword edge-port to configure the interface as a Rapid Spanning Tree edge port. |
| bpduguard | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword portfast to enable Portfast to move the interface into forwarding mode immediately after the root fails.Enter the keyword bpduguard to disable the port when it receives a BPDU. |
| shutdown-on-violation | (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword shutdown-on-violation to hardware disable an interface when a BPDU is received and the port is disabled. |
| priority priority | (OPTIONAL) Enter keyword priority followed by a value in increments of 16 as the priority.Range: 0 to 240.Default: 128 |

| Version 7.5.1.0 Support added for C-Series | |
| Version 7.4.1.0 Added the optional Bridge Port Data Unit (BPDU) guard. | |
| Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced for E-Series |
Usage Information
The BPDU guard option prevents the port from participating in an active STP topology in case a BPDU appears on a port unintentionally, or is misconfigured, or is subject to a DOS attack. This option places the port into an error disable state if a BPDU appears, and a message is logged so that the administrator can take corrective action.

Note: A port configured as an edge port, on an RSTP switch, will immediately transition to the forwarding state. Only ports connected to end-hosts should be configured as edge ports. Consider an edge port similar to a port with a spanning-tree portfast enabled.
If shutdown-on-violation is not enabled, BPDUs will still be sent to the RPM CPU.

Usage Information
By default FTOS implements an optimized flush mechanism for RSTP. This helps in flushing MAC addresses only when necessary (and less often), allowing for faster convergence during topology changes. However, if a standards-based flush mechanism is needed, this knob command can be turned on to enable flushing MAC addresses upon receiving every topology change notification.
Security
Overview
Except for the Trace List feature (E-Series only), most of the commands in this chapter are available on all three Dell Networking platforms — C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series (the S-Series models that run FTOS), as noted by the following icons that appear under each command icon: C E S
Commands
This chapter contains various types of security commands in FTOS, in the following sections:
• AAA Accounting Commands
• Authorization and Privilege Commands
- Authentication and Password Commands
• RADIUS Commands
• TACACS+ Commands
- Port Authentication (802.1X) Commands
- SSH Server and SCP Commands
- Secure DHCP Commands
For configuration details, see the Security chapter in the FTOS Configuration Guide.

Note: Starting with FTOS v7.2.1.0, LEAP with MSCHAP v2 supplicant is implemented.
AAA Accounting Commands
AAA Accounting enables tracking of services that users are accessing and the amount of network resources being consumed by those services. When AAA Accounting is enabled, the network server reports user activity to the TACACS+ security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record is comprised of accounting AV pairs and is stored on the access control server.
As with authentication and authorization, you must configure AAA Accounting by defining named list of accounting methods, and then apply that list to various interfaces. The commands are:
- aaa accounting
- aaa accounting suppress
- accounting
• show accounting
aaa accounting

Enable AAA Accounting and create a record for monitoring the accounting function.
Syntax
aaa accounting {system | exec | commands level} {name | default} {start-stop | wait-start | stop-only} {tacacs+}
To disable AAA Accounting, use the no aaa accounting {system | exec | command level} {name | default} {start-stop | wait-start | stop-only} {tacacs+} command.
Parameters
| system | Enter the keyword system to send accounting information of any other AAA configuration. |
| exec | Enter the keyword exec to send accounting information when a user has logged in to the EXEC mode. |
| commands level | Enter the keyword command followed by a privilege level for accounting of commands executed at that privilege level. |
| name | default | Enter one of the following:For name, a user-defined name of a list of accounting methodsdefault for the default accounting methods |
| start-stop | Enter the keyword start-stop to send a “start accounting” notice at the beginning of the requested event and a “stop accounting” notice at the end of the event. |
| wait-start | Enter the keyword wait-start to ensure that the TACACS+ security server acknowledges the start notice before granting the user’s process request. |
| stop-only | Enter the keyword stop-only to instruct the TACACS+ security server to send a “stop record accounting” notice at the end of the requested user process. |
| tacacs+ | Enter the keyword tacacs+ to use TACACS+ data for accounting. FTOS currently only supports TACACS+ accounting. |

Usage Information
By default, the locally configured username password will be used. If aaa authentication login default is configured, FTOS will use the methods defined by this command for login instead.
Methods configured with the aaa authentication login command are evaluated in the order they are configured. If users encounter an error with the first method listed, FTOS applies the next method configured. If users fail the first method listed, no other methods are applied. The only exception is the local method. If the user's name is not listed in the local database, the next method is applied. If the correct user name/password combination are not entered, the user is not allowed access to the switch.

Note: If authentication fails using the primary method, FTOS employs the second method (or third method, if necessary) automatically. For example, if the TACACS+ server is reachable, but the server key is invalid, FTOS proceeds to the next authentication method. The TACACS+ is incorrect, but the user is still authenticated by the secondary method.
After configuring the aaa authentication login command, configure the login authentication command to enable the authentication scheme on terminal lines.
Connections to the SSH server will work with the following login mechanisms: local, radius and tacacs.

Usage Use this command to define a password for a level and use the privilege level (CONFIGURATION Information mode) command to control access to command modes.
Passwords must meet the following criteria:
- Start with a letter, not a number.
- Passwords can have a regular expression as the password. To create a password with a regular expression in it, you must use CNTL + v prior to entering regular expression. For example, to create the password abcd] e, you type abcd CNTL v] e and when the password is created, you do not use the CNTL + v key combination and enter abcd] e.

Note: The question mark (?) and the tilde (\~) are not supported characters.

Port Authentication (802.1X) Commands
The 802.1X Port Authentication commands are:
- dot1x authentication (Configuration)
- dot1x authentication (Interface)
- dot1x auth-fail-vlan
- dot1x auth-server
- dot1x guest-vlan
- dot1x max-eap-req
- dot1x port-control
- dot1x quiet-period
- dot1x reauthentication
- dot1x reauth-max
- dot1x server-timeout
- dot1x supplicant-timeout
- dot1x tx-period
• show dot1x interface
An authentication server must authenticate a client connected to an 802.1X switch port. Until the authentication, only EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) traffic is allowed through the port to which a client is connected. Once authentication is successful, normal traffic passes through the port.
FTOS supports RADIUS and Active Directory environments using 802.1X Port Authentication.
Important Points to Remember
FTOS limits network access for certain users by using VLAN assignments. 802.1X with VLAN assignment has these characteristics when configured on the switch and the RADIUS server.
- 802.1X is supported on C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series.
- 802.1X is not supported on the LAG or the channel members of a LAG.
- If no VLAN is supplied by the RADIUS server or if 802.1X authorization is disabled, the port is configured in its access VLAN after successful authentication.
-
If 802.1X authorization is enabled but the VLAN information from the RADIUS server is not valid, the port returns to the unauthorized state and remains in the configured access VLAN. This prevents ports from appearing unexpectedly in an inappropriate VLAN due to a configuration error. Configuration errors create an entry in Syslog.
-
If 802.1X authorization is enabled and all information from the RADIUS server is valid, the port is placed in the specified VLAN after authentication.
- If port security is enabled on an 802.1X port with VLAN assignment, the port is placed in the RADIUS server assigned VLAN.
- If 802.1X is disabled on the port, it is returned to the configured access VLAN.
- When the port is in the force authorized, force unauthorized, or shutdown state, it is placed in the configured access VLAN.
- If an 802.1X port is authenticated and put in the RADIUS server assigned VLAN, any change to the port access VLAN configuration will not take effect.
- The 802.1X with VLAN assignment feature is not supported on trunk ports, dynamic ports, or with dynamic-access port assignment through a VLAN membership.

Usage Information
If the host responds to 802.1X with an incorrect login/password, the login fails. The switch will attempt to authenticate again until the maximum attempts configured is reached. If the authentication fails after all allowed attempts, the interface is moved to the authentication failed VLAN.
Once the authentication VLAN is assigned, the port-state must be toggled to restart authentication. Authentication will occur at the next re-authentication interval (dot1x reauthentication).

Command History
Version 8.3.5.0 Introduced on S55
Version 7.6.1.0 Introduced on C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series
Usage Information
802.1X authentication is enabled when an interface is connected to the switch. If the host fails to respond within a designated amount of time, the authenticator places the port in the guest VLAN.
If a device does not respond within 30 seconds, it is assumed that the device is not 802.1X capable. Therefore, a guest VLAN is allocated to the interface and authentication, for the device, will occur at the next re-authentication interval (dot1x reauthentication).
If the host fails authentication for the designated amount of times, the authenticator places the port in authentication failed VLAN (dot1x auth-fail-vlan).
Related Commands

Note: Layer 3 portion of guest VLAN and authentication fail VLANs can be created regardless if the VLAN is assigned to an interface or not. Once an interface is assigned a guest VLAN (which has an IP address), then routing through the guest VLAN is the same as any other traffic. However, interface may join/leave a VLAN dynamically.

Service Provider Bridging
Overview
Service Provider Bridging is composed of VLAN Stacking, Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling, and Provider Backbone Bridging as described in the FTOS Configuration Guide Service Provider Bridging chapter.
This chapter includes CLI information for FTOS Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2PT). L2PT enables protocols to tunnel through an 802.1q tunnel. L2PT is available in FTOS for the C-Series ☐, E-Series ☐, and S-Series ☐.
L2PT is supported on E-Series ExaScale with FTOS 8.2.1.0. and later.
Refer to Chapter 46, VLAN Stacking or Chapter 42, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Chapter 13, GARP VLAN Registration (GVRP) for further information related to those features.
Commands
The L2PT commands are:
- debug protocol-tunnel
- protocol-tunnel
- protocol-tunnel destination-mac
- protocol-tunnel enable
- protocol-tunnel rate-limit
• show protocol-tunnel
Important Points to Remember
- L2PT is enabled at the interface VLAN-Stack VLAN level. For details on Stackable VLAN (VLAN-Stacking) commands, see Chapter 46, VLAN Stacking.
- The default behavior is to disable protocol packet tunneling through the 802.1q tunnel.
- Rate-limiting is required to protect against BPDU attacks.
- A port channel (including through LACP) can be configured as a VLAN-Stack access or trunk port.
- ARP packets work as expected across the tunnel.
• FEFD works the same as with Layer 2 links. - Protocols that use Multicast MAC addresses (OSPF for example) work as expected and carry over to the other end of the VLAN-Stack VLAN.
debug protocol-tunnel
| Syntax | debug protocol-tunnel interface {in | out | both} [vlan vlan-id] [count value] | |
| To disable debugging, use the no debug protocol-tunnel interface {in | out | both} [vlan vlan-id] [count value] command. | ||

sFlow
Overview
sFlow commands are supported on these platforms: C E S.
FTOS sFlow monitoring system includes an sFlow Agent and an sFlow Collector. The sFlow Agent combines the flow samples and interface counters into sFlow datagrams and forwards them to the sFlow Collector. The sFlow Collector analyses the sFlow Datagrams received from the different devices and produces a network-wide view of traffic flows.
Important Points to Remember
- Dell Networking recommends that the sFlow Collector be connected to the Dell Networking chassis through a line card port rather than the RPM Management Ethernet port.
- FTOS exports all sFlow packets to the sFlow Collector. A small sampling rate can equate to a large number of exported packets. A backoff mechanism will automatically be applied to reduce this amount. Some sampled packets may be dropped when the exported packet rate is high and the backoff mechanism is about to or is starting to take effect. The dropEvent counter, in the sFlow packet, will always be zero.
- sFlow sampling is done on a per-port basis.
- Community list and local preference fields are not filled up in the extended gateway element in the sFlow datagram.
- The 802.1P source priority field is not filled up in the extended switch element in the sFlow datagram.
- Only Destination and Destination Peer AS numbers are packed in the dst-as-path field in the extended gateway element.
- If the packet being sampled is redirected using PBR (Policy-Based Routing), the sFlow datagram may contain incorrect extended gateway/router information.
- sFlow does not support packing extended information for IPv6 packets. Only the first 128 bytes of the IPv6 packet is shipped in the datagram.
- The source VLAN field in the extended switch element will not be packed in case of a routed packet.
- The destination VLAN field in the extended switch element will not be packed in case of a multicast packet.
- The maximum number of packets that can be sampled and processed per second is:
— 7500 packets when no extended information packing is enabled
— 7500 packets when only extended-switch information packing is enabled (see sflow extended-switch enable)
— 1600 packets when extended-router and/or extended-gateway information packing is enabled (see Figure and sflow extended-gateway enable) - There is no limit on the number of interfaces where sFlow can be enabled.
Commands
The sFlow commands are:
- sflow collector
- sflow enable (Global)
- sflow enable (Interface)
- sflow extended-gateway enable
- sflow extended-router enable
- sflow extended-switch enable
• sflow polling-interval (Global)
• sflow polling-interval (Interface) - sflow sample-rate (Global)
• sflow sample-rate (Interface)
• show sflow

sflow collector

Specify a collector(s) to which sFlow datagrams are forwarded.
Syntax
sflow collector ip-address agent-addr ip-address [number [max-datagram-size number]] | [max-datagram-size number]
To delete the specified collector(s), use the no sflow collector ip-address agent-addr ip-address [number [max-datagram-size number]] | [max-datagram-size number] command

Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced on E-Series
You can specify up to 2 sFlow collectors. If 2 collectors are specified, the samples are sent to both.
As part of the sFlow-MIB, if the SNMP request originates from a configured collector, FTOS will return the corresponding configured agent IP in MIB requests. FTOS checks to ensure that two entries are not configured for the same collector IP with a different agent IP. Should that happen, FTOS generates the following error:
%Error: Different agent-addr attempted for an existing collector
Note: When the agent-addr command is executed and a different agent-address has been previously configured, a warning message will display. The command will still be accepted.

Usage Information
This command changes the sampling rate for an Interface. By default, the sampling rate of an interface is set to the same value as the current global default sampling rate. If the value entered is not a correct power of 2, the command generates an error message with the previous and next power-of-2 value. Select one of these two number and re-enter the command.

SNMP and Syslog
Overview
This chapter contains commands to configure and monitor SNMP v1/v2/v3 and Syslog. Both features are supported on the C-Series, E-Series, and S-Series platforms, as indicated by the following symbols under each of the command headings: C E S
The chapter contains the following sections:
- SNMP Commands
- Syslog Commands
SNMP Commands
The SNMP commands available in FTOS are:
• show snmp
• show snmp engineID
• show snmp group
• show snmp user
- snmp ifmib ifalias long
- snmp-server community
- snmp-server contact
- snmp-server enable traps
- snmp-server engineID
- snmp-server group
- snmp-server host
- snmp-server location
- snmp-server packetsize
- snmp-server trap-source
- snmp-server user
- snmp-server view
- snmp trap link-status
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to communicate management information between the network management stations and the agents in the network elements. FTOS supports SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3, supporting both read-only and read-write modes. FTOS sends SNMP traps, which are messages informing an SNMP management system about the network. FTOS supports up to 16 SNMP trap receivers.
Important Points to Remember
• Typically, 5-second timeout and 3-second retry values on an SNMP server are sufficient for both LAN and WAN applications. If you experience a timeout with these values, the recommended best practice on Dell Networking switches (to accommodate their high port density) is to increase the timeout and retry values on your SNMP server to the following:
— SNMP Timeout—greater than 3 seconds
— SNMP Retry count—greater than 2 seconds
- If you want to query an E-Series switch using SNMP v1/v2/v3 with an IPv6 address, configure the IPv6 address on a non-management port on the switch.
- If you want to send SNMP v1/v2/v3 traps from an E-Series using an IPv6 address, use a non-management port.
- SNMP v3 informs are not currently supported with IPv6 addresses.
- If you are using ACLs in SNMP v3 configuration, group ACL overrides user ACL if the user is part of that group.
- SNMP operations are not supported on a VLAN.
