The words enter
and type

When you see the word enter in this guide, you must type something,
and then press Return or Enter. Do not press Return or Enter when an
instruction simply says type.

Fixed command
text

This typeface indicates the fixed part of a command text. You must type
the command, or this part of the command, exactly as shown, and press
Return or Enter when you are ready to enter the command.
Example: The command display history-command must be entered
exactly as shown.

Variable
command text

This typeface indicates the variable part of a command text. You must type
a value here, and press Return or Enter when you are ready to enter the
command.
Example: in the command super level, a value in the range 0 to 3 must
be entered in the position indicated by level

{ x | y | ... }

Alternative items, one of which must be entered, are grouped in braces


and separated by vertical bars. You must select and enter one of the items.
Example: in the command flow-control {hardware | none |
software}, the braces and the vertical bars combined indicate that you
must enter one of the parameters. Enter either hardware, or none, or
software.

[]

Items shown in square brackets [ ] are optional.


Example 1: in the command display users [all], the square brackets
indicate that the parameter all is optional. You can enter the command
with or without this parameter.
Example 2: in the command user-interface [type] first-number
[last-number] the square brackets indicate that the parameters [type]
and [last-number] are both optional. You can enter a value in place of
one, both or neither of these parameters.
Alternative items, one of which can optionally be entered, are grouped in
square brackets and separated by vertical bars.
Example 3: in the command header [shell | incoming | login]
text, the square brackets indicate that the parameters shell,
incoming and login are all optional. The vertical bars indicate that only
one of the parameters is allowed.

scheme named CAMS, enter the following:
<S4200G> system-view
[S4200G] radius scheme CAMS
[S4200G-radius-CAMS] accounting-on enable

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

RADIUS Scheme view

The purpose of this feature is to resolve the following problem: users cannot re-log
onto the network after the switch reboots because they are already online. After this
feature is enabled, every time the switch reboots:

The switch generates an Accounting-On packet, which mainly contains the


following information: NAS-ID, NAS-IP (source IP address), and session ID.

The switch sends the Accounting-On packet to the CAMS at regular intervals.

18 accounting-on enable

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

Once the CAMS receives the Accounting-On packet, it sends a response to the
switch. At the same time it finds and deletes the existing online information of the
user who was accessing the network through the switch before the reboot based
on the NAS-ID, NAS-IP and session ID contained in the Accounting-On packet, and
ends the charging of the user according to the last accounting update packet.

Once the switch receives the response from the CAMS, it stops sending other
Accounting-On packets.

If the switch has tried the set maximum times to transmit the Accounting-On
packet but still does not receive any response from the CAMS, it stops the sending
of the Accounting-On packet.

Note: The switch can automatically generate the main attributes (NAS-ID, NAS-IP and
session ID) of the Accounting-On packets. However, you can also manually configure
the NAS-IP attribute with the nas-ip command. When doing this, be sure to
configure a correct and valid IP address. If this attribute is not configured manually,
the switch will automatically select the IP address of the VLAN interface as the NAS-IP
address.

Note:

When the system charges an online user but it does not find any available RADIUS
accounting server or fails to communicate with any RADIUS accounting server, the
user can continue the access to network resources if the accounting
optional command has been used, otherwise the user is disconnected from the
system. The accounting optional command is often used in the cases
where only authentication is needed and no accounting is needed.

20 accounting optional

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

After the accounting optional command is used for a RADIUS scheme, the
system will no longer send real-time accounting update packets and
stop-accounting packets for any user in an ISP domain referencing the RADIUS
scheme.

This configuration takes effect only on the accounting using this RADIUS scheme.

corresponding ACL View.
Use the undo acl command to delete all entries of an ACL or to delete all ACLs.

Syntax

acl number acl-number [ match-order { config | auto } ]


undo acl { number acl-number | all }

Parameters

number acl-number

Specifies the number of an access control list (ACL) in


the range of:
2,000 to 2,999: identifies basic ACLs.
3,000 to 3,999: identifies advanced ACLs.
4,000 to 4,999: identifies layer 2 ACLs.

match-order

Specifies the match order for the ACL rules. The


match-order keyword is not available for the definition
of a Layer 2 ACL. Match orders include config and
auto.

config

Specifies to match ACL rules according to the


user-defined order.

auto

Specifies to match ACL rules according to the


"depth-first" order.

all

Specifies to delete all ACLs.

Default

By default, the ACLs are matched in config order.

Example

<S4200G> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S4200G] acl number 2000 match-order auto
[S4200G-acl-basic-2000]

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

After entering the corresponding ACL view, you can use the rule command to add
entries to the ACL.
An ACL supports the following types of match orders:

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

acl 23

Configured order: ACL rules are matched according to the configured order.

Automatic ordering: ACL rules are matched according to the "depth-first" order

The "depth-first" ordering of rules in IP ACLs (basic and advanced ACLs) is


implemented based on the lengths of the source IP address masks and the destination
IP address masks. The rule with the longest masks is first matched, and then comes
the rule with the second longest masks, and so on. In the ordering, the lengths of the
source IP address masks are compared first; if the source IP address masks have the
same length, the lengths of the destination IP address masks are compared. For
example, the rule of which the source IP address mask is 255.255.255.0 precedes the
rule of which the source IP address mask is 255.255.0.0 in the match order.
You can use the match-order keyword to specify whether to use the configured order
or "depth-first" order (rules with smaller ranges are matched first) to match rules. If
neither match orders are specified, the configured match order will be adopted.
You cannot modify the match order for an ACL once you have specified it, unless you
delete all the entries of the ACL.
The ACL match order feature is effective only when the ACL is referenced by software
for data filtering and traffic classification.

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

MST Region view

This command causes the switch to operate with the new MST region settings, when
spanning trees are regenerated.
Changes of MST region parameters, especially those of the VLAN mapping tables, can
cause MSTP to recalculate the spanning trees, creating network topology jitters across
the network. To reduce network topology jitters caused by configuration changes,
MSTP does not recalculate the spanning trees immediately in response to region
configuration changes. Rather, MSTP brings the configurations into effect only after
you activate the new MST region settings or enable MSTP.

Command Reference

Description

Related Command

authentication 39

Before you use the authentication command to specify a RADIUS scheme to be


referenced by the current ISP domain, the specified RADIUS scheme must has already
been defined.

After the authentication radius-scheme radius-scheme-name


local command is executed, the local scheme is used as the secondary
authentication scheme in case the RADIUS server does not respond normally. That
is, if the communication between the switch and the RADIUS server is normal, no
local authentication is performed; otherwise, local authentication is performed.

After the authentication local command is executed, the local scheme is


used as the primary scheme. In this case, only local authentication is performed.
After the authentication none command is executed, no authentication is
performed.

After the authentication command is executed in an ISP domain view, the


system uses the authentication scheme specified in the command to authenticate
the users in the domain. Otherwise the system uses the scheme specified in the
scheme command to authenticate the users.

current-configuration command to verify the configuration results by
checking the currently valid parameters in the display output. This command will not
display the parameters whose corresponding functions do not take effect even
though these parameters have been configured.
For example, although you can perform PPP-related configurations on an interface
encapsulated with X.25, the display current-configuration command does
not display the PPP configuration information.

Delete The route is deleted.
Gateway The route is not a direct route.
Hidden The route is a hidden route. For routes that are temporarily
unavailable for some reasons (such as the policy configured or the
interface is down), you can hide them for later use.
Holddown The route is held down. Holddown is a kind of route
advertisement policy used in some D-V (distance vector) routing
protocols (such as RIP) to avoid the propagation of some incorrect
routes and improve the transmission speed of route-unreachable
information. For details, refer to corresponding routing protocols.
Int The route is discovered by the internal gateway protocol (IGP).
NoAdvise The route is not advertised when the router advertises
routes based on policies.
NotInstall The route are not loaded to the core routing table but
can be advertised. Normally, the routes with the highest preference in
the routing table are loaded to the core routing table and are
advertised.
Reject The packets travel along the route will be dropped. Besides,
the router sends ICMP unreachable messages to the source of the
dropped packets. The Reject routes are usually used for network
testing.
Retain The route is not deleted when the routes read from the core
routing table are deleted. You can enable static routes to remain in
the core routing table by configure them to be in retain state.
Static The route is not lost when you perform the save operation
and then restart the router. Routes marked as Static are configured
manually.
Unicast The route is a unicast route.

Description

State

Descriptions on the route state are as follows:


ActiveU Valid unicast route. "U" stands for unicast.
Blackhole Blackhole route is the same as reject route except that a
router drops a packet traveling along a blackhole route without
sending ICMP unreachable messages to the source of the packets.
Delete The route is deleted.
Gateway The route is not a direct route.
Hidden The route is a hidden route. For routes that are temporarily
unavailable for some reasons (such as the policy configured or the
interface is down), you can hide them for later use.
Holddown The route is held down. Holddown is a kind of route
advertisement policy used in some D-V (distance vector) routing
protocols (such as RIP) to avoid the propagation of some incorrect
routes and improve the transmission speed of route-unreachable
information. For details, refer to corresponding routing protocols.
Int The route is discovered by the internal gateway protocol (IGP).
NoAdvise The route is not advertised when the router advertises
routes based on policies.
NotInstall The route are not loaded to the core routing table but
can be advertised. Normally, the routes with the highest preference in
the routing table are loaded to the core routing table and are
advertised.
Reject The packets travel along the route will be dropped. Besides,
the router sends ICMP unreachable messages to the source of the
dropped packets. The Reject routes are usually used for network
testing.
Retain The route is not deleted when the routes read from the core
routing table are deleted. You can enable static routes to remain in
the core routing table by configure them to be in retain state.
Static The route is not lost when you perform the save operation
and then restart the router. Routes marked as Static are configured
manually.
Unicast The route is a unicast route.

Purpose

Use the domain command to create an ISP domain and enter its view, or enter the
view of an existing ISP domain, or configure the default ISP domain.
Use the undo domain command to delete a specified ISP domain.

Syntax

domain { isp-name | default { disable | enable isp-name } }


undo domain isp-name

Parameters

isp-name

default

Specifies an ISP domain name. The name is character


string up to 24 characters in length, excluding:

<

>

Configures the default ISP domain, which is system by


default. There is one and only one default ISP domain.

enable: Enables the default ISP domain specified by


isp-name.

disable: Disables the default ISP domain.

Default

By default, a domain named system has been created in the system. The attributes of
system are all default values. There is one and only one default ISP domain.

Example

To create a new ISP domain, aabbcc.net, enter the following:


<S4200G> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S4200G] domain aabbcc.net

This command can be used in the following views:

System view

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

Description

domain 331

After you execute the domain command, the system creates a new ISP domain if the
specified ISP domain does not exist. Once an ISP domain is created, it is in the active
state. You can manually configure the default domain only when it already exists.
ISP domain is a group of users belonging to the same ISP. Generally, for a username in
the userid@isp-name format, taking gw20010608@3Com163.net as an example, the
isp-name (that is, 3Com163.net) following the @ is the ISP domain name. When
3Com 4200G Series Ethernet Switches control user access, as for an ISP user whose
username is in userid@isp-name format, the system will take userid part as
username for identification and take isp-name part as domain name.
The purpose of introducing ISP domain settings is to support the application
environment with several ISP domains. In this case, an access device may have
supplicants from different ISP domains. Because the attributes of ISP users, such as
username and password structures, service types, may be different, it is necessary to
separate them by setting ISP domains. In ISP Domain View, you can configure a
complete set of exclusive ISP domain attributes for each ISP domain, which includes
AAA schemes (RADIUS scheme applied and so forth.)
For a Switch, each supplicant belongs to an ISP domain. The system supports up to 16
ISP domains. If a user has not reported its ISP domain name, the system will put it into
the default domain.
When this command is used, if the specified ISP domain does not exist, the system
will create a new ISP domain. All the ISP domains are in the active state when they
are created.

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

dot1x
Purpose

Use the dot1x command to enable 802.1x on the specified port or globally, (that is
on the current device).
Use the undo dot1x command to disable the 802.1x on the specified port or
globally.

Syntax

dot1x [ interface interface-list ]


undo dot1x [ interface interface-list ]

Parameters

interface interface-list Ethernet port list. You can specify multiple Ethernet

ports by providing this argument in the form:


interface-list = { interface-name
[ to interface- name] & < 1-10 >.
The interface-name argument is the port index of an
Ethernet port and can be specified in this form:
interface-name = { interface-type
interface-num }
interface-type specifies the type of a port
interface-num identifies the port number. Note
that the interface name after the keyword to must
have an interface-num that is greater than or equal to
that of the interface-name before to.
&<1-10> means that up to 10 port indexes/port index
lists can be provided,

Default

By default, 802.1x is disabled on all the ports and globally on the device.

Example

To enable 802.1x for GigabitEthernet1/0/1 port, enter the following:


<S4200G> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S4200G] dot1x interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

dot1x 333

Description

Ethernet Port view

When being executed in system view, the dot1x command enables 802.1x globally if
you do not provide the interface-list argument. And if you specify the interface-list
argument, the command enables 802.1x for the specified Ethernet ports. When
being executed in Ethernet port view, this command enables 802.1x for the current
Ethernet port only. In this case, the interface-list argument is not needed.
You can perform 802.1x-related configurations (globally or on specified ports) either
before or after 802.1x is enabled. If you do not previously perform other
802.1x-related configurations when enabling 802.1x globally, the switch adopts the
default 802.1x settings.
802.1x-related configurations take effect on a port only after 802.1x is enabled both
globally and on the port.
Configurations of 8021.x and the maximum number of MAX addresses that can be
learnt are mutually exclusive. This means that when 802.1x is enabled for a port, it
cannot also have the maximum number of MAX addresses to be learned configured
at the same time. And if you configure the maximum number of MAX addresses that
can be learnt for a port, 802.1x is unavailable to it.

334 dot1x authentication-method

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

dot1x authentication-method
Purpose

Use the dot1x authentication-method command to set 802.1x authentication


mode.
Use the undo dot1x authentication-method command to revert to the
default 802.1x authentication mode.

Syntax

dot1x authentication-method { chap | pap | eap }


undo dot1x authentication-method

Parameters

chap

Authenticates with the help of challenge handshake


authentication protocol (CHAP). CHAP applies a
three-way handshaking procedure. In this method,
user names are transmitted rather than passwords.
Therefore this method is safer.

pap

Authenticates with the help of password


authentication protocol (PAP). PAP applies a two-way
handshaking procedure. In this method, passwords are
transmitted in plain text.

eap

Authenticates with the help of extensible


authentication protocol (EAP). In an EAP
authentication method, a switch sends 802.1x
authentication information directly to the RADIUS
server in EAP packets, instead of having to convert
them into RADIUS packets before forwarding to the
RADIUS server. EAP authentication can be realized in
one of the three sub-methods: PEAP, EAP-TLS, and
EAP-MD5.

Default

The default 802.1x authentication method is CHAP.

Example

To specify the authentication method to be PAP, enter the following:

Related Command

Note:

If you specify to authenticate supplicant systems by MAC addresses (that is, the
macbased keyword is specified), all supplicant systems connected to the specified
Ethernet ports are authenticated separately. And if an online user logs off, others
are not affected.

If you specify to authenticate supplicant systems by port numbers (that is, the
portbased keyword is specified), all supplicant systems connected to a specified
Ethernet port are able to access the network without being authenticated if a
supplicant system among them passes the authentication. And when the
supplicant system logs off, the network is inaccessible to all other supplicant
systems either.

When being executed in system view, these two commands apply to all Ethernet
ports of the switch if you do not provide the interface-list argument. And if you
specify the interface-list argument, these commands apply to the specified
Ethernet ports.

garp timer
Purpose

Use the garp timer command to set the GARP Hold, Join or Leaver timer value on

Use the undo garp timer command to restore the default value of the GARP
Hold, Join or Leaver timer on the current port.

Syntax

garp timer { hold | join | leave } timer-value


undo garp timer { hold | join | leave }

Parameters

Example

hold

GARP Hold timer. When a GARP entity receives a piece


of registration information, it does not send out the
Join message immediately. Instead, it starts the Hold
timer, and sends out a Join message after the timer
times out, so that all the registration information
received before the timer times out can be put into the
same frame that will be sent to save the bandwidth
resources.

join

To transmit the Join messages reliably to other entities,


a GARP entity sends each Join message two times. The
Join timer is used to define the interval between the
two sending operations of each Join message.

leave

GARP Leave timer. When a GARP entity expects to


unregister a piece of attribute information, it sends out
a Leave message. Any GARP entity receives this
message starts its Leave timer, and unregister the
attribute information after the timer times out if it
does not receives a Join message again before the
timeout.

timer-value

Value of the specified GARP timer (Hold, Join or Leave)


in centiseconds, with a step size of five.
If no values are specified, the default values are 10, 20,
and 60 for Hold, Join and Leave timers respectively.

The user template is a set of default user attributes. If a user requesting for the
network service does not have some required attributes, the corresponding attributes
in the template will be endeavored to him as default ones. The user template of the
Switch you are using may only provide user idle-cut settings. After a user is
authenticated, if the idle-cut is configured to enable or disable by neither the user nor
the RADIUS server, the user will adopt the idle-cut state in the template.
Because a user template only works in one ISP domain, it is necessary to configure
user template attributes for users from different ISP domain respectively.

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Ethernet Port view

Normally, when receiving an IGMP Leave message, IGMP Snooping does not
immediately remove the port from the multicast group, but sends a group-specific
query message. If no response is received in a given period, it then removes the port
from the multicast group.
If this command is executed, when receiving an IGMP Leave message, IGMP Snooping
removes the port from the multicast group immediately. When the port has only one
user, enabling IGMP fast leave processing can save bandwidth.
Note: If the client(s) under the port are IGMP V2enabled, this feature operates
normally (that is, it functions only when the port has only one user). Otherwise, when
the port has multiple users, the leave of one user may disrupt the multicast to every
other user under the port in the same multicast group.

View

Description

This command can be used in the following views:

System view

Ethernet Port view

You can configure some multicast filter ACLs globally or on the switch ports
connected to user ends so as to use the IGMP Snooping filter function to limit the
multicast programs that the users can access. With this function, you can treat
different VoD users in different ways by allowing them to access the multicast streams
in different multicast groups.
In practice, when a user orders a multicast program, an IGMP report message is
generated. When the message arrives at the switch, the switch examines the
multicast filter ACL configured on the access port to determine if the port can join the
corresponding multicast group or not. If yes, it adds the port to the forward port list
of the multicast group. If not, it drops the IGMP report message and does not forward
the corresponding data stream to the port. In this way, you can control the multicast
programs that users can access.
An ACL rule defines a multicast address or a multicast address range (for example
224.0.0.1 to 239.255.255.255) and is used to:

Allow the port(s) to join only the multicast group(s) defined in the rule by a permit
statement.

Inhibit the port(s) from joining the multicast group(s) defined in the rule by a deny
statement.

One port can belong to multiple VLANs. But for each VLAN on the port, you can
configure only one ACL.

If no ACL rule is configured or the port does not belong to the specified VLAN, the
filter ACL you configured does not take effect on the port.

Since most devices broadcast unknown multicast packets, this function is often
used together with the unknown multicast packet drop function to prevent
multicast streams from being broadcasted to a filtered port as unknown multicast.

Command Reference

In addition, you can use this command to specify the filtering channel for each output
direction. Information is sent to the proper direction after being filtered through the
specified channel. Therefore, in this command, you can set the channel to be used for
an output direction and the filter of the channel for information filtering and
redirection.
Each output direction is assigned with a default information channel at present,
shown as follows:

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

Use the info-center synchronous command to enable synchronous terminal


output, so that if system information (such as log information) is output when the
user is inputting, the command prompt and input information are echoed after the
output (note that, the command prompt is echoed in command edit state but is not
echoed in interactive state).
While enabled, the synchronous information output function allows the system to
display command line prompts and users input so far after each system output,
helping users continue with their input.
Note:

Use the info-center synchronous command to prevent users input from


being interrupted by system output and to realize synchronous information
output.

It is recommended that you disable this function during debugging, as the


info-center synchronous command produces unnecessary output by
displaying command line prompts after each piece of debugging information.

Parameters

instance-id

Specifies the ID of a spanning tree instance. Valid


values are 0 to 16. A value of 0 specifies the CIST.

vlan-list

Specifies the list of VLANs. You must provide this


argument in the form:
vlan-list = { vlan-id [ to vlan-id ] }&<1-10>
&<1-10> means that you can provide up to 10 VLAN
IDs/VLAN ID lists for this argument. Normally, a VLAN
ID can be a number ranging from 1 to 4094. VLANs
with their IDs beyond this range (if the switch supports
this kind VLAN IDs), such as VLAN 4095 and VLAN
4096, can only be mapped to the CIST (spanning tree
instance 0).

Default

By default, all VLANs are mapped to the CIST.

Cluster view

Before setting up a cluster, the user should configure a private IP address pool for
cluster member devices. When a candidate device is added, the management device
will dynamically assign a private IP address, which can be used for communication
inside the cluster. In this way, the user can use the management device to manage
and maintain the member devices.

Command Reference

ip route-static 417

Description

System view

If you do not specify the preference when configuring a static route, the value
specified by the ip route-static default-preference command (which defaults to 60) is
adopted. Note that routes with the same destinations, the same next hops, but
different preferences are different routes. Among these routes, the one with least
preference (which means the highest preference) is chosen to be the current route. A
route configured using the ip route-static command is a reachable route if neither of
the reject and blackhole keywords is specified.
Note the following when configuring a static route:

Related Command

The next hop address of a static route cannot be the VLAN interface address of the
local switch.

A static route with both its destination IP address and mask both being 0.0.0.0 is
the default route. When no matched entry is found in the routing table, a received
packet is forwarded according to the default route.

Example

Specifies the interface of the route. The packets that


are sent to a NULL interface, a kind of virtual interface,
will be discarded immediately. This can decrease the
system load.

next-hop

Next hop IP address in dotted decimal notation.

preference-value

Preference value of the route. This argument ranges


from 1 to 255. The default preference is 60.

reject

Specifies the route to be unreachable. If you specify


this keyword when executing this command, any
packet destined for the specified IP address is
discarded, and the system informs the source that the
destination is unreachable.

blackhole

Specifies the route to be a black hole. If you specify


this keyword when executing this command, all
outbound interfaces of the static route are the Null 0
interfaces regardless of the next hop. In addition, the
system discards any packet transmitted along this
route without informing the source.

The priority level of the user corresponds to the command level of the user. Refer to
the description of the command-privilege level command in the command
line interface module.
If the configured authentication mode is none authentication or password
authentication, the command level that a user can access after login depends on the
priority of user interface. In the case of authentication requiring both username and
password, however, the accessible command level depends on user priority level.
lIf the configured authentication method requires a user name and a password, the
command level that a user can access after login is determined by the priority level of
the user. For SSH users, when they use RSA shared keys for authentication, the
commands they can access are determined by the levels sets on the user interfaces.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Cluster view

Note:

In an NAT-enabled cluster network, the NAT server is configured on the


management VLAN interface of the management device by default. The NAT
server can perform address translation between an internal IP address and a public
IP address. NMS devices outside the cluster network can use SNMP, FTP, and HTTP
to manage the devices inside the cluster through NAT.

If the VLAN where the port connected with the NMS device resides is not a
management VLAN, since no NAT server is configured on this interface by default,
IP addresses cannot be translated. In this case, the network administrator of the
external network is unable to access the management device, so he cannot
manage internal devices of the cluster.

By specifying an NMS interface on the management device, you can enable the
NAT server configuration on the NMS interface instead of the management VLAN
interface. In this case, the network administrator can access the management
device through the NMS interface to manage internal devices of this cluster.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Description

Any view

By default, when the parameters are not specified:

the ECHO-REQUEST message will be sent for 5 times

socket is not in DEBUGGING mode

the TTL value for echo requests is 255

host will be treated as IP address first. If it is not an IP address, perform domain


name resolution

the default padding operation starts from 0x01 and ends on 0x09 (progressively),
then performs again,

show all the information including statistics

routes are not recorded

send ECHO-REQUEST according to route selection

default length of ECHO-REQUEST is 56 bytes

default timeout of ECHO-RESPONSE is 2000 ms

do not display other ICMP packets (non ECHO-RESPONSE)

the TOS value of echo requests is 0

The executing procedure of the ping command is as follows: First, the source host
sends an ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packet to the destination host. If the connection
to the destination network is normal, the destination host receives this packet and
responds with an ICMP ECHO-REPLY packet.
You can use the ping command to check the network connectivity and the quality
of a network line. This command can output the following information:

Response status of the destination to each ICMP ECHO-REQUEST packet. If


no response packet is received within the timeout time, including the number of
bytes, packet sequence number, TTL and response time of the response
packet. If no response packet is received within the timeout time, the message
"Request time out" is displayed instead.
Final statistics, including the numbers of sent packets and received response
packets, the irresponsive packet percentage, and the minimum, average and
maximum values of response time.

You can set a relatively long timeout time waiting for response packet if the
network transmission is slow.

(temporarily/permanently disabling the port, or filtering out the packets with these
source MAC addresses) to guarantees the security on the port.
The illegal packets include:

Packets with unknown source MAC addresses received when MAC address
learning is disabled on the port

Packets with unknown source MAC addresses received when the number of MAC
addresses on the port has reached the set maximum number of MAC addresses
allowed to access the port.

Packets received from users who fail the authentication.

The action mode of the Intrusion Protection feature can be set to disableport,

Description

RADIUS Server Group view

Note:

After creating a new RADIUS scheme, you should configure the IP address and
UDP port number of each RADIUS server you want to use in this scheme. These
RADIUS servers fall into two types: authentication/authorization, and accounting.
And for each kind of server, you can configure two servers in a RADIUS scheme:
primary and secondary servers. A RADIUS scheme has the following attributes: IP
addresses of the primary and secondary servers, shared keys, and types of the
RADIUS servers.

In an actual network environment, you can configure the above parameters as


required. But you should configure at least one authentication/authorization server
and one accounting server, and at the same time, you should keep the RADIUS
service port settings on the switch consistent with those on the RADIUS servers.

Description

Ethernet Port view

This command is used to set the priority of Ethernet ports. After the command is
configured, the switch replaces the 802.1p priority carried in the packet with the
priority of the port receiving the packet. Then the switch places the packet in the
corresponding port output queue according to the new priority of the packet.

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

priority trust 543

priority trust
Purpose

Use the priority trust command to configure the precedence mapping mode on
the port of the switch.

Syntax

priority trust { cos [ automap ] | dscp [ automap | remap ] }

Parameters

cos [ automap ]

The mapping is performed based on 802.1p priority


and the mapping modes are as follows:

If automap is not input, it is the default mode in


which the switch does not replace the priority
carried in the packet with the mapped priority.

If automap is input, it is the automap mode in


which the switch replaces the priority carried in the
packet with the mapped priority.

dscp [ automap | remap]

The mapping is performed based on DSCP precedence,


and the mapping modes are as follows:

If keywords are not input after DSCP, it is the


default mode in which the switch does not replace
the priority carried in the packet with the mapped
priority.

If automap is input, it is the automap mode in


which the switch replaces the priority carried in the
packet with the mapped priority.

If remap is input, it is the remap mode. In this


mode, the switch firstly gets new DSCP precedence
by the "DSCP-> DSCP" mapping relationship, and
then searches "DSCP->other precedence" mapping
relationship through the new DSCP precedence,
and replaces the precedence carried in the packet
with the mapped precedence.

Default

By default, the switch trusts the port priority.

Example

To configure to map in remap mode on GigabitEthernet1/0/1 according to DSCP


precedence, enter the following:

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Ethernet Port view

After the QoS profile function is configured, the switch will apply the QoS profiles
corresponding to you to your access port when you pass the authentication. The
processing procedures of the switches of different application modes are as follows
respectively:

User-based mode: If the source information (source MAC, source IP, or source
MAC + source IP) is defined in the traffic rule adopted by the QoS profile, the QoS
profile cannot be applied dynamically successfully. If the source information is not
defined, the switch will create a new traffic rule by adding the source MAC and
source IP information of the user into the former rule, and then apply all the traffic
actions in the QoS profile to the user access port.

Port-based mode: The switch will apply all the actions in the QoS profile to the
user access port directly. When the mode is used, all the users with the same
access port must use the same QoS profile.

Note:

The communication in RADIUS is unreliable because this protocol adopts UDP


packets to carry data. Therefore, it is necessary for the switch to retransmit a
RADIUS request if it gets no response from the RADIUS server after the response
timeout timer expires. If the maximum number of transmission attempts is reached
but the switch still receives no response, the switch considers that the request fails.

Appropriately set this maximum number of transmission attempts according to the


network situation can improve the reacting speed of the system.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

RADIUS Scheme view

Note:

Generally, the RADIUS server uses the connection timeout timer to determine
whether a user is online or not. If the RADIUS server receives no real-time
accounting packet for a specified period of time, it will consider that the line or the
switch is in trouble and stop the accounting of the user. To make the switch
cooperate with this feature on the RADIUS server, it is necessary to cut down the
user connection on the switch as soon as possible after the RADIUS server
terminates the charging and connection of the user in the case of unforeseen
trouble. For this purpose, you can limit the number of continuous real-time
no-response accounting requests, and the switch will cut down the user
connection if it sends out the maximum number of real-time accounting requests
but does not receive any response.

Suppose that the response timeout time of the RADIUS server is T (three seconds
for example), the real-time accounting interval is t (12 minutes for example), and
the maximum number of continuous no-response real-time accounting requests is
retry-times (five for example). In this case, the switch sends an accounting request

Command Reference

every 12 minutes; if the switch does not receive a response within 3 seconds after
it sends out an accounting request, it re-sends the request; If the switch
continuously sends five accounting requests but does not receive any response, it

less than t.

RADIUS Scheme view

Stop-accounting requests are critical to billing and will eventually affect the charges of
the users; they are important for both the users and the ISP. Therefore, the switch
should do its best to transmit them to the RADIUS accounting server. If the RADIUS
server does not respond to such a request, the switch should first buffer the request
on itself, and then retransmit the request to the RADIUS accounting server until it gets
a response, or the maximum number of transmission attempts is reached (in this case,
it discards the request).

by the corresponding alarm entry.
With an alarm entry is defined in an alarm group, a network device performs the
following operations accordingly:

Sample the defined alarm variables (alarm-variable) once in each specified period,
which is specified by the sampling-time argument.

Comparing the sampled value with the set threshold and performing the
corresponding operations, as described in Error! Reference source not found.

Description

System view

After you use the command, the system prompts you to define the key length.

In SSH1.x, the key length is in the range of 512 to 2,048 (bits).

In SSH 2.0, the key length is in the range of 1024 to 2048 (bits). To make SSH 1.x
compatible, 512- to 2,048-bit keys are allowed on clients, but the length of server
keys must be more than 1,024 bits. Otherwise, clients cannot be authenticated.

CAUTION:

If you use this command to generate an RSA key provided an old one exits, the
system will prompt you to replace the previous one or not.

For a successful SSH login, you must generate the local RSA key pairs first. You just
need to execute the command once, with no further action required even after the
system is rebooted.

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Any view

Executing the save command with neither backup nor main assigns the main
attribute to the file to which the current configurations are saved.
The system provides two methods to save the current configurations.

If the safely keyword is not used, the system saves the current configurations in
fast mode. This mode is fast, but the configuration file may be lost if the switch
restarts or powers down.

If the safely keyword is used, the system saves the current configurations in safe
mode. This mode is relatively slow, but the configuration file still remains in the
flash memory without being lost even if the switch restarts or powers down during
the saving.

The fast mode is recommended under the circumstances with stable power system,
while the safe mode is recommended under the circumstances with bad power
system or in the case of remote maintenance.

If the cfgfile argument is not specified, the system saves the current configuration
to the configuration file used in this startup, or saves the current configuration
with the default configuration file name if the default configuration is used in this
startup.

To make a switch to adopt the current configuration when it starts the next time,
save the current configuration using the save command before restarting the
switch.

Purpose

Use the service-type multicast command to set the current VLAN as a


multicast VLAN.
Use the undo service-type multicast command to cancel the multicast
VLAN setting.

Syntax

service-type multicast
undo service-type multicast

Parameters

None

Default

By default, no VLAN is a multicast VLAN.

Example

Configure VLAN 2 as a multicast VLAN.


<S4200G> system-view
[S4200G] vlan 2
[S4200G-vlan2] service-type multicast

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

VLAN view

By configuring a multicast VLAN, adding corresponding switch ports to the multicast


VLAN and enabling IGMP Snooping, you can make users in different VLANs share the
same multicast VLAN. This saves bandwidth since multicast stream is transmitted only
within the multicast VLAN, and also guarantees the security because the multicast
VLAN is completely isolated from the user VLANs.

Command Reference

set authentication password 663

set authentication password


Purpose

Use the set authentication password command to set the local password.
Use the undo set authentication password command to remove the local
password.

Syntax

set authentication password { cipher | simple } password


undo set authentication password

Parameters

Default

cipher

Specifies to display the local password in encrypted


text when you display the current configuration.

simple

Specifies to display the local password in plain text


when you display the current configuration.

password

If the authentication is in the simple mode, the


password must be in plain text. If the authentication is
in the cipher mode, the password can be either in
encrypted text or in plain text. Whether the password
is in encrypted text or plain text depends on the
password string entered. Strings containing up to 16
characters (such as 123) are regarded as plain text
passwords and are converted to the corresponding
24-character encrypted password (such as
!TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!). A encrypted password
must contain 24 characters and must be in ciphered
text (such as !TP<\*EMUHL,408`W7TH!Q!!).

By default, a password is required for users connecting over Modem or Telnet. If a


password has not been set, the following prompt is displayed: Login password has
not been set!

RADIUS view

In ISP Domain view or Local User view:

After an ISP domain is set to the block state, except the online users, the users
under this domain are not allowed to access the network.

After the local user is set to the block state, the user is not allowed to access the
network.

In RADIUS view for the primary and secondary servers (authentication/authorization


servers, or accounting servers) in a RADIUS scheme, note that:

If the switch gets no response from the RADIUS server after sending out a RADIUS
request (authentication/authorization request or accounting request) and waiting
for a time, it should retransmit the packet to ensure that the user can obtain the
RADIUS service. This wait time is called response timeout time of RADIUS server;
and the timer in the switch system that is used to control this time is called the
response timeout timer of RADIUS server. You can use the timer command to set
the timeout time of this timer.

Appropriately setting the timeout time of this timer according to the network
situation can improve the performance of the system.

Stop-accounting requests are critical to billing and will eventually affect the charges;
they are important for both the users and the ISP. Therefore, the switch should do its
best to transmit them to the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS accounting server does not
respond to such a request, the switch should first buffer the request on itself, and
then retransmit the request to the RADIUS accounting server until it gets a response,
or the maximum number of transmission attempts is reached (in this case, it discards
the request).

Description

System view

Normally, access ports of access layer devices have terminals (such as PCs) or file
servers directly connected to them. These ports are usually configured to be edge
ports to achieve rapid transition. When they receive BPDUs, however, they are set as
non-edge ports automatically, which causes MSTP to recalculate the spanning trees,
resulting in network topology jitters.
In normal cases, edge ports are free of BPDUs. But malicious users may attack the
switches by sending forged BPDUs to the edge ports to create network jitters. You
can prevent this type of attack by utilizing the BPDU protection function. With this
function enabled on a switch, once an edge port receives a BPDU, the system
automatically shut it down and notifies the network administrator of the situation.
Only the administrator can restore edge ports that are shut down.
CAUTION:
As 1000 Mbps ports of a 3Com Switch 4200G Family switch cannot be shut down,
the BPDU protection function is not applicable to these ports even you enable the
BPDU protection function and specify these ports to be MSTP edge ports.

Description

Ethernet Port view

According to IEEE 802.1s, two connected switches can interwork with each other
through MSTIs in an MST region only when the two switches have the same MST
region-related configuration. With MSTP employed, interconnected switches
determine whether or not they are in the same MST region by checking the
configuration IDs of the BPDUs between them. (A configuration ID contains
information such as region ID and configuration digest.)
As some partners' switches adopt proprietary spanning tree protocols, they cannot
interwork with other switches in an MST region even if they are configured with the
same MST region-related settings as other switches in the MST region.
This kind of problems can be overcome by implementing the digest snooping feature.
If a switch port is connected to a partner's switch that has the same MST
region-related settings but adopts a proprietary spanning tree protocol, you can
enable digest snooping on the port. Then the switch regards the peer switch
connected to the port as in the same region and records the configuration digests
carried in the BPDUs received from the switch, which will be put in the BPDUs to be

switches in an MST region.
Note:

The digest snooping feature is needed only when your S5100-EI series switch is
connected to partner's proprietary protocol-adopted switches.

To enable the digest snooping feature successfully, you must first enable it on all
the switch ports that connect to partner's proprietary protocol-adopted switches
and then enable it globally.

To enable the digest snooping feature, the interconnected switches must be


configured with exactly the same MST settings.

The digest snooping feature must be enabled on all the switch ports that connect
to partners' proprietary protocol-adopted switches in the same MST region..

To change MST region-related configuration, be sure to disable the digest


snooping feature first to prevent possible broadcast storms.

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Ethernet Port view

An edge port is a port that is directly connected to a user terminal instead of another
switch or a network segment. Rapid transition is applied to edge ports because, on
these ports, no loops can be incurred by network topology changes. You can enable a
port to transit to the forwarding state rapidly by setting it to an edge port. And you
are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports directly connected to user
terminals as edge ports to enable them to transit to the forwarding state rapidly.
Normally, configuration BPDUs cannot reach an edge port because the port is not
connected to another switch. But when the BPDU protection function is disabled on
an edge port, configuration BPDUs sent deliberately by a malicious user may reach the
port. If an edge port receives a BPDU, it turns to a non-edge port.
CAUTION:
Among loop prevention function, root protection function and edge port setting,
only one can be valid on the same port.

Description

System view

According to IEEE 802.1s, two interconnected MSTP switches can interwork with
each other through MSTIs in an MST region only when the two switches have the
same MST region-related configuration. Interconnected MSTP switches determine

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

stp interface config-digest-snooping 735

whether or not they are in the same MST region by checking the configuration IDs of
the BPDUs between them. (A configuration ID contains information such as region ID
and configuration digest.)
As some partners' switches adopt proprietary spanning tree protocols, they cannot
interwork with other switches in an MST region even if they are configured with the
same MST region-related settings as other switches in the MST region.
This problem can be overcome by implementing the digest snooping feature. If a port
on an S5100-EI series switch is connected to a partner's switch that has the same
MST region-related settings as its own but adopts a proprietary spanning tree
protocol, you can enable digest snooping on the port. Then the S5100-EI switch
regards the partner's switch as in the same region; it records the configuration digests
carried in the BPDUs received from the partner's switch, and put them in the BPDUs
to be send to the partner's switch. In this way, the S5100-EI switches can interwork
with the partners' switches in the same MST region.
Note:

The digest snooping feature is needed only when your S5100-EI series switch is
connected to partner's proprietary protocol-adopted switches.

To enable the digest snooping feature successfully, you must first enable it on all
the ports of your S5100-EI series switch that are connected to partner's proprietary
protocol-adopted switches and then enable it globally.

To enable the digest snooping feature, the interconnected switches must be


configured with exactly the same MST region-related configuration.

The digest snooping feature must be enabled on all the ports of your S5100-EI
series switch that are connected to partners' proprietary protocol-adopted
switches in the same MST region.

To change MST region-related configuration, be sure to disable the digest


snooping feature first to prevent possible broadcast storms.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

An edge port is a port that is directly connected to a user terminal instead of another
switch or a network segment. Rapid transition is applied to edge ports because, on
these ports, no loops can be incurred by network topology changes. You can enable a
port to transit to the forwarding state rapidly by setting it to an edge port. And you
are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports directly connected to user
terminals as edge ports to enable them to transit to the forwarding state rapidly.
Normally, configuration BPDUs cannot reach an edge port because the port is not
connected to another switch. But when the BPDU protection function is disabled on
an edge port, configuration BPDUs sent deliberately by a malicious user may reach the
port. If an edge port receives a BPDU, it turns to a non-edge port.
CAUTION:
Only one function among loop prevention, root protection, and edge port can be
valid at a time.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

Some partners' switches adopt proprietary spanning tree protocols that are similar to
RSTP in the way to implement rapid transition on designated ports. When a switch of
this kind operates as the upstream switch of the 4200G series switch running MSTP,
the upstream designated port fails to change their states rapidly.
The rapid transition feature is developed to avoid this case. When the 4200G series
switch running MSTP is connected in the upstream direction to a partner's switch
running proprietary spanning tree protocol, you can enable the rapid transition
feature on the ports of the 4200G series switch operating as the downstream switch.
Among these ports, those operating as the root ports will then send agreement
packets to their upstream ports after they receive proposal packets from the upstream
designated ports, instead of waiting for agreement packets from the upstream
switch. This enables designated ports of the upstream switch to change their states
rapidly.
Note: Enable the rapid transition feature on root ports or alternate ports only.

stp interface root-protection 749

Configuration errors and malicious attacks may cause legal root bridges to receive

You can avoid this problem by utilizing the root protection function. Ports with this
function enabled can retain their roles in all spanning tree instances. When such a
port receives BPDUs of higher priorities, its state is set to discarding and it stops
forwarding any packets as if the connected link were down. Only when it receives no
BPDUs of higher priorities in a specified period, does it resumes its normal state.

Description

System view

The maximum hop count configured on the region root for an MST region is used to
limit the size of the MST region.
A BPDU contains a hop counter field. In a MST region, after a BPDU leaves the root
bridge, its hop counter decreases by 1 whenever it is forwarded by a switch; once its
hop counter reaches 0, it is dropped. Such a mechanism disables the switches that are
beyond the maximum hop count from participating in spanning tree calculation, and
thus limits the size of an MST region.
With such a mechanism, once a switch becomes the root bridge of a CIST or MSTI,
the maximum hop count configured on it determines the network diameter of the
spanning tree and limits the size of the spanning tree. The switches that are not the
root bridge in an MST region adopts the maximum hop count configured on the root
bridge.

the upstream designated port fails to change their states rapidly.
The rapid transition feature is developed to resolve this problem. When an S5100-EI
series switch running MSTP is connected in the upstream direction to a partner's
switch running proprietary spanning tree protocol, you can enable the rapid transition
feature on the ports of the S5100-EI series switch operating as the downstream
switch. Among these ports, those operating as the root ports will then send
agreement packets to their upstream ports after they receive proposal packets from
the upstream designated ports, instead of waiting for agreement packets from the
upstream switch. This enables designated ports of the upstream switch to change
their states rapidly.
Note: Enable the rapid transition feature on root ports or alternate ports only.

Normally, the path cost of a port in full-duplex mode is slightly less than that of the
port in half-duplex mode.
When calculating the path cost of an aggregate link, the 802.1D-1998 standard does
not take the number of the aggregated links into account, whereas the 802.1T
standard does so by using the following equation:
Path cost = 200,000,000/link transmission speed
Where, the link transmission speed is the sum of the speeds of the unblocked ports
for the aggregate link measured in 100 kbps units.

Description

Ethernet Port view

The rapid transition feature is not applicable to ports that are connected to
non-point-to-point links.
If an Ethernet port is the master port of an aggregation port or operates in full-duplex
mode, then the link to which the port is connected is a point-to-point link. It is
recommended that you specify the auto keyword in the stp interface
point-to-point command for links of this kind to enable the type of the links
being automatically determined by MSTP.
These two commands only apply to CISTs and MSTIs. If you configure the link to
which a port is connected is a point-to-point link (or a non-point-to-point link), the
configuration applies to all spanning tree instances (that is, the port is configured to

Description

If you specify the instance-id argument to be 0 or do not specify the argument, these
two commands apply to the port priorities on the CIST. The role a port plays in a
spanning tree instance is determined by the port priority in the instance. A port on a
MSTP-enabled switch can have different port priorities and play different roles in
different MSTIs. This enables packets of different VLANs to be forwarded along
different physical paths, so as to achieve load balancing by VLANs. Changing port
priorities result in port roles being re-determined and may cause state transitions.

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Ethernet Port view

Configuration errors and malicious attacks may cause legal root bridges to receive
BPDUs of higher priorities, and give up their roles as root bridges, which means
network topology jitters. In this case, flows that should travel along high-speed links
may be led to low-speed links, and network congestions may occur.
You can avoid this problem by utilizing the root protection function. Ports with this
function enabled can retain their roles in all spanning tree instances. When such a
port receives BPDUs of higher priorities, its state is set to discarding and it stops
forwarding any packets as if the connected link were down. Only when it receives no
BPDUs of higher priorities in a specified period, does it resumes its normal state.

[S4200G] stp tc-protection enable

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

A switch removes MAC address entries and ARP entries upon receiving TC-BPDUs. If a
malicious user sends large amounts of TC-BPDUs to a switch in a short period, the
switch may be busy removing MAC address entries and ARP entries, which may
decrease the performance of the switch and introduce potential stability risks.
With the TC-BPDU attack prevention function enabled, a switch performs removing
operation only once in a specified period (10 seconds by default) after it receives a
TC-BPDU. The switch also checks to see if other TC-BPDUs arrive and performs
another removing operation in the next period if a TC-BPDU is received. Such a
mechanism prevents a switch from being busy removing address entries and ARP
entries.

Description

System view

A switch sends protocol packets to its neighboring devices in the specified Hello time
interval to test the connectivity of links. Normally, if a switch does not receive any
protocol packets from its upstream switch in a period three times of the Hello time, it
assumes that the upstream switch is down and recalculates the spanning trees.
Spanning tree recalculation may also occur in a very stable network where certain
upstream switches are busy. In this case, you can increase the timeout time to four or
more times of the Hello time. For stable networks, a timeout time of five to seven
times of the Hello time is recommended.

[S4200G] stp timer forward-delay 2000

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

To prevent temporary loops while ports change their states, each port undergoes an
intermediate period when it changes from the discarding state to the forwarding
state to allow for synchronizing with the remote switches. This intermediate period is
determined by the Forward delay configured on the root bridge.
The Forward delay setting configured for a root bridge applies to all switches
operating in the spanning tree instance, including the root bridge.
As for the configuration of the three time-related parameters (that is, the Hello time,
Forward delay, and Max age parameters), you can refer to the following expressions
to prevent networks from jittering frequently.
2 * (Forward delay 1 second) >= Max age,
Max age >= 2 * (Hello time + 1 second).
It is recommended that you specify the network diameter and the Hello time
parameter by using the stp root primary or stp root secondary command
in a network with MSTP employed, after which the three optimized time-related
parameters are automatically determined.

Description

System view

A root bridge regularly sends out configuration BPDUs to maintain the existing
spanning trees. The Hello time is used to set the sending interval. When a switch
becomes a root bridge, it regularly sends BPDUs at the interval specified by the hello
time you have configured on it. While, the other none-root-bridge switches listen to
the BPDUs; if they do not receive a BPDU in a specific period, spanning trees will be
regenerated.
As for the configuration of the three time-related parameters (that is, the Hello time,
Forward delay, and Max age parameters), the following formulas must be met to
prevent network jitter.
2 * (Forward delay 1 second) >= Max age
Max age >= 2 * (Hello time + 1 second)
It is recommended that you specify the network diameter and the Hello time by using

[S4200G] stp timer max-age 1000

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

System view

MSTP is capable of detecting link problems and automatically setting redundant links
to forwarding state. In a CIST, the Max age is the criterion for switches to judge
whether or not a received BPDU is timed out. And spanning trees will be regenerated
if a BPDU received by a port is timed out.
The Max age argument is meaningless to MSTIs. All switches in a CIST uses the Max
age configured for the root bridge of the CIST to judge whether a BPDU is timed out.
The settings of the three MSTP time parameters must satisfy the following expressions
to prevent frequent network jitters:
2 * (Forward delay 1 second) >= Max age
Max age >= 2 * (Hello time + 1 second)
It is recommended that you specify the network diameter and the Hello time by using
the stp root primary or stp root secondary command. MSTP will then
automatically calculate the optimal values of the three parameters.

The time range defined by means of the time-range command can include absolute
time sections and periodic time sections. The start-time and end-time
days-of-the-week jointly define a periodic time section, while start-time start-date and
end-time end-date jointly define an absolute time section.
If only a periodic time section is defined in a time range, the time range is active only
within the defined periodic time section.
If only an absolute time section is defined in a time, the time range is active only
within the defined absolute time section.
If both a periodic time section and an absolute time section are defined in a time
range, the time range is active only when the periodic time range and the absolute
time range are both matched. Assume that a time range defines an absolute time
section from 00:00 January 1, 2004 to 23:59 December 31, 2004, and a periodic time
section from 12:00 to 14:00 every Wednesday. This time range is active only from
12:00 to 14:00 every Wednesday in 2004.

Note:

To charge the users in real time, you should set the interval of real-time
accounting. After the setting, the switch sends the accounting information of
online users to the RADIUS server at regular intervals.

The setting of the real-time accounting interval depends to some degree on the
performance of the switch and the RADIUS server. The higher the performance of
the switch and the RADIUS server is, the shorter the interval can be. You are
recommended to set the interval as long as possible when the number of users is
relatively great (f1000). Table 113 lists the numbers of users and the
corresponding recommended intervals.

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Any view

The tracert command is primarily used to check the network connectivity. It can
also help you locate the trouble spot of the network.
If you find that the network is in trouble by using the ping command, you can use
the tracert command to find where the trouble is in the network.
The executing procedure of the tracert command is as follows. First, the source
sends a packet with the TTL of 1, and the first hop device returns an ICMP error
message indicating that it cannot forward this packet because of TTL timeout.
Then, the source re-sends a packet with the TTL of 2, and the second hop device
also returns an ICMP TTL timeout message. This procedure continues until a
packet gets to the destination or the maximum TTL is reached. During the
procedure, the system records the source address of each ICMP TTL timeout
message in order to offer the path that the packets pass through to the destination.
The tracert command can output the IP addresses of all the gateways the
packets pass through to the destination. You will see the string "***" if a gateway
times out.

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

Related Command

RADIUS Scheme view

Note:

Generally, an access user is named in the userid@isp-name format. Where,


isp-name behind the @ character represents the ISP domain name, by which the
device determines which ISP domain it should ascribe the user to. However, some
old RADIUS servers cannot accept the user names that carry ISP domain names. In
this case, it is necessary to remove the domain names carried in the user names
before sending the user names to the RADIUS server. For this reason, the
user-name-format command is designed for you to specify whether or not ISP
domain names are carried in the user names sent to the RADIUS server.

For a RADIUS scheme, if you have specified that no ISP domain names are carried
in the user names, you should not use this RADIUS scheme in more than one ISP
domain. Otherwise, such errors may occur: the RADIUS server regards two
different users having the same name but belonging to different ISP domains as
the same user (because the user names sent to it are the same).

830 vlan-assignment-mode

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

vlan-assignment-mode
Purpose

Use the vlan-assignment-mode command to set the VLAN assignment mode on


the switch.

Syntax

vlan-assignment-mode { integer | string }

Parameters

integer

Sets the VLAN assignment mode to integer.

string

Sets the VLAN assignment mode to string.

Default

By default, the VLAN assignment mode is integer. That is, the switch supports the
integer type of VLAN IDs assigned by RADIUS authentication server.

Example

To set the VLAN assignment mode to string, enter the following:


[S4200G-isp-3Com163.net] vlan-assignment-mode string

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

ISP Domain view

Through dynamic VLAN assignment, the Ethernet switch dynamically adds the ports
of the successfully authenticated users to different VLANs depending on the attribute
values assigned by RADIUS server, so as to control the network resources the users
can access.
In actual application, to cooperate with Guest VLAN, port control is usually set to the
port-based mode. If it is set to the MAC addressbased mode, each port can have
only one user end connected.
Currently, the switch supports the following two data types of VLAN ID assigned by
RADIUS authentication server:

Integer: If the RADIUS server assigns integer type of VLAN IDs, you can set the
VLAN assignment mode to integer on the switch (this is also the default mode on
the switch). Then, upon receiving an integer ID assigned by the RADIUS
authentication server, the switch adds the port to the VLAN whose VLAN ID is
equal to the assigned integer ID. If no such a VLAN exists, the switch first creates a
VLAN with the assigned ID, and then adds the port to the newly created VLAN.

String: If the RADIUS server assigns string type of VLAN IDs, you can set the VLAN
assignment mode to string on the switch. Then, upon receiving a string ID
assigned by the RADIUS authentication server, the switch compares the ID with
existing VLAN names on the switch. If it finds a match, it adds the port to the
corresponding VLAN. Otherwise, the VLAN assignment fails and the user cannot
pass the authentication.

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

vlan-assignment-mode 831

Note: In string mode, if the VLAN ID assigned by the RADIUS server is a character
string containing only digits (for example, 1024), the switch first regards it as an
integer VLAN ID: the switch transforms the string to an integer value and judges if the
value is in the valid VLAN ID range; if it is, the switch adds the authenticated port to
the VLAN with the value as the VLAN ID (VLAN 1024, for example).

3Com Switch 4200G Family


Command Reference

vlan-mapping modulo
Purpose

Use the vlan-mapping modulo command to map VLANs to specific spanning tree
instances.

Syntax

vlan-mapping modulo modulo

Parameters

modulo

Default

By default, all VLANs in a network are mapped to the CIST (spanning tree instance 0).

Example

To map VLANs to spanning tree instances using the modulo of 16, enter the
following:

Specifies the modulo. Valid values are 1 to 16.

<S4200G> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[S4200G] stp region-configuration
[S4200G-mst-region] vlan-mapping modulo 16

View

This command can be used in the following views:

Description

MST Region view

MSTP uses VLAN mapping tables to describe VLAN-to-spanning tree instance


mappings. You can use this command to establish VLAN mapping tables and to map
VLANs to specific spanning tree instances.
Note that a VLAN cannot be mapped to multiple spanning tree instances at a time. A
VLAN-to-spanning tree instance mapping becomes invalid when you map the VLAN
to another spanning tree instance.
You can map large amounts of VLANs to specific spanning tree instances quickly by
using the vlan-mapping modulo modulo command. The ID of the spanning tree
instance to which a VLAN is mapped can be figured out by using the following
expression:
(VLAN ID-1) % modulo + 1

where (VLAN ID-1) % modulo yields the module of (VLAN ID-1) with regards to
modulo. For example, if you set the modulo argument to 16, VLAN 1 is mapped to
spanning tree instance 1, VLAN 2 is mapped to spanning tree instance 2, , VLAN 16
is mapped to spanning tree instance 16, VLAN 17 is mapped to spanning tree
instance 1, and so on.

Description

Ethernet Port view

With the VLAN VPN function enabled, a received packet is tagged with the default
VLAN tag of the receiving port no matter whether or not the packet already carries a
VLAN tag. If the packet already carries a VLAN tag, the packet becomes a dual-tagged
packet. Otherwise, the packet becomes a packet carrying the default VLAN tag of the
port.
CAUTION: The VLAN-VPN function is unavailable if the port has any of the protocols
among GVRP, GMRP, STP, IRF, NTDP and 802.1x enabled.
CAUTION: If this port is a remote mirror reflection port, the VLAN-VPN function
cannot be enabled on the port.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Overview
This Command Reference applies to the following Switch 4200G models:
Switch 4200G 12-Port (3CR17660-91)

Switch 4200G 48-Port FX (3CR17662-91)

Switch 4200G 1-Port 10Gigabit Module (XFP) (3C17666)

About the Command Line Interface


To use and navigate the command line interface of your unit, please refer to the following points for assistance:

When initially accessing the command line interface, press Enter when prompted. The User View menu for the unit

displays. This is indicated by the chevron brackets around the name of the unit at the prompt, for example,
<sw4200G>.

When in the System View menu, square brackets appear around the name of the unit at the prompt, for example,

[sw4200G].

You must be in the System View menu to access the configurable CLI commands.

Some commands can be entered directly at any prompt from anywhere in the interface.

If you enter part of a command followed by a ? (with no space between), the CLI will show you all the commands

that begin in that way.

The term view may be used interchangeably with the term menu.

The undo command is placed before the command you wish to undo, for example, undo setauthentication password.

<CTRL-A> places the cursor back to the start of the command line.

Enter the first few characters of a command and press TAB to enter the full command without having to input the
entire command (where there is only one command that starts with the entered characters).

Use the Up Arrow key at the prompt to repeat the previous command string.

Use the Delete key to delete the character after the cursor; the Backspace key deletes the character before the cursor.

When entering physical port numbers, Enter the port number as x/0/z, where x is the unit number and z is the

physical port number.
