set trunk

Use the set trunk command to configure trunk ports and to add VLANs to the allowed VLAN list for existing trunks.

set trunk mod_num/port_num [on | off | desirable | auto | nonegotiate] [vlan_range] [isl | dot1q | dot10 | lane | negotiate]

Syntax Description

mod_num

Number of the module.

port_num

Number of the port on the module.

on

(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a trunk port and persuade the neighboring port to become a trunk port. The port becomes a trunk port even if the neighbor port does not agree to become a trunk. This is the only possible mode for ATM ports.

off

(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a nontrunk port and persuade the neighboring port to become a nontrunk port. The port becomes a nontrunk port even if the neighbor port does not agree to become a nontrunk port. This is the default mode for FDDI trunks. This option is not allowed for ATM ports.

desirable

(Optional) Keyword to cause the port to negotiate actively with the neighbor port to become a trunk link. This mode is not allowed on FDDI and ATM ports.

auto

(Optional) Keyword to cause the port to become a trunk port if the neighboring port tries to negotiate a trunk link. This mode is not allowed on FDDI and ATM ports. This is the default mode for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

nonegotiate

(Optional) Keyword to force the port to become a trunk port but prevent it from sending DTP frames to its neighbor. This mode is only allowed on ISL and IEEE 802.1Q trunks.

vlan_range

(Optional) VLANs to add to the list of allowed VLANs on the trunk. The VLAN range is 1 to 1005.

isl

(Optional) Keyword to specify an ISL trunk on an Ethernet port.

dot1q

(Optional) Keyword to specify an IEEE 802.1Q trunk on an Ethernet port. IEEE 802.1Q trunks are supported in Catalyst 5000 family and 2926G series software release 4.1(1) and later with 802.1Q-capable hardware. Automatic negotiation of 802.1Q trunks is supported in software release 4.2(1) and later. In software release 4.1, you must use the nonegotiate mode with 802.1Q trunks.

dot10

(Optional) Keyword to specify an IEEE 802.10 trunk on a FDDI or CDDI port.

lane

(Optional) Keyword to specify an ATM LANE trunk on an ATM port.

negotiate

(Optional) Keyword to specify that the port become an ISL (preferred) or 802.1Q trunk, depending on the configuration and capabilities of the neighboring port.

Default

All ports except ATM LANE ports are nontrunk ports by default. ATM LANE and RSM ports are always configured as trunk ports.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

The Catalyst 2948G switch is a fixed configuration switch. All ports are located on module 2; for this reason, if you enter 1/N for the module/port number, an error message is displayed.

Trunking capabilities are hardware dependent. Refer to the Module Installation Guide for your switch to determine the trunking capabilities of your hardware, or enter the show port capabilities command.

The Catalyst 5000 family, 4000 family, 2926G series, and 2948G switches use the DTP (formerly known as DISL) to negotiate trunk links automatically on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports. Whether a port will negotiate to become a trunk port depends on both the mode and the trunk type specified for that port. Refer to the Software Configuration Guide for your switch for detailed information on how trunk ports are negotiated.

DTP is a point-to-point protocol. However, some internetworking devices might improperly forward DTP frames. You can avoid this problem by ensuring that trunking is turned off on ports connected to non-Catalyst 5000 family, 4000 family, 2926G series, and 2948G devices if you do not intend to trunk across those links. When enabling trunking on a link to a Cisco router, enter the nonegotiate keyword to cause the port to become a trunk but not generate DTP frames. The nonegotiate keyword is available in Catalyst 5000 family, 4000 family, 2926G series, and 2948G software release 2.4(3) and later.

For trunking to be negotiated on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the ports must be in the same VTP domain. However, you can use the on or nonegotiate mode to force a port to become a trunk, even if it is in a different domain.

To remove VLANs from the allowed list for a trunk, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command. When you first configure a port as a trunk, the set trunk command always adds all VLANs to the allowed VLAN list for the trunk, even if you specify a VLAN range (the specified VLAN range is ignored).

To remove VLANs from the allowed list, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command. To later add VLANs that were removed, enter the set trunk mod_num/port_num vlan_range command.

If you do not enter a trunk-type keyword, the value is unchanged from the previous configuration.

You cannot change the allowed VLAN range on the RSM port.

The RSM port can be configured only as an IEEE 802.1Q-type trunk.

The dot1q trunk type is the only trunk type supported by the Catalyst 4000 family and 2948G switches.

To return a trunk to its default trunk type and mode, enter the clear trunk mod_num/port_num command.

If you enter the set trunk command on a Token Ring port, you receive a message indicating that the port is "not a trunk-capable port."

Examples

This example shows how to set port 2 on module 1 as a trunk port:

Console> (enable) set trunk 1/2 on
Port(s) 1/2 trunk mode set to on.
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows how to add VLANs 5 through 50 to the allowed VLAN list for a trunk port (VLANs were previously removed from the allowed list with the clear trunk command):

Console> (enable) set trunk 1/1 5-50
Adding vlans 5-50 to allowed list.
Port(s) 1/1 allowed vlans modified to 1,5-50,101-1005.
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows how to set port 5 on module 4 as an 802.1Q trunk port in desirable mode:

Console> (enable) set trunk 4/5 desirable dot1q
Port(s) 4/5 trunk mode set to desirable.
Port(s) 4/5 trunk type set to dot1q.
Console> (enable)

set udld

Use the set udld command to enable or disable the UDLD feature on specified ports or globally on all ports.

set udld enable | disable mod/ports...

Syntax Description

enable

Keyword to enable the UDLD feature.

disable

Keyword to disable the UDLD feature.

mod/ports...

Number of the module and ports.

Default

The default is UDLD is globally disabled.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Whenever a unidirectional connection is detected, UDLD displays a syslog message to notify you and the network management application (via SNMP) that the port on which the misconfiguration has been detected has been disabled.

If you enter the global set udld enable or disable command, UDLD is globally configured. If UDLD is globally disabled, UDLD is automatically disabled on all interfaces, but the per-port enable (or disable) configuration is not changed. If UDLD is globally enabled, whether UDLD is running on an interface or not depends on its per-port configuration.

UDLD is supported on both Ethernet fiber and copper interfaces. UDLD can only be enabled on Ethernet fiber or copper interfaces.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the UDLD feature for port 1 on module 2:

Console> (enable) set udld enable 2/1
UDLD enabled on port 2/1.
Warning:UniDirectional Link Detection should be enabled on all the ends of the connection in order to work properly.
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows how to disable the UDLD feature for port 1 on module 2:

Console> (enable) set udld disable 2/1
UDLD disabled on port 2/1.
Warning:UniDirectional Link Detection should be enabled on all the ends of the connection in order to work properly.
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows how to enable the UDLD feature for all ports on all modules:

Console> (enable) set udld enable
UDLD enabled globally
Console> (enable) 
 

This example shows how to disable the UDLD message display for all ports on all modules:

Console> (enable) set udld disable
UDLD disabled globally
Console> (enable)

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

You cannot use the set vlan command until the Catalyst 5000 family, 4000 family, and 2926G series switches are either in VTP transparent mode (set vtp mode) or until a VTP domain name has been set (set vtp).

Valid MTU values for Token Ring VLAN are 1500 or 4472. While you can enter any value for the MTU value, the value you enter defaults to the next lowest valid value.

You cannot set multiple VLANs for ISL ports using this command. The VLAN name can be from 1 to 32 characters in length. If adding a new VLAN, the VLAN number must be within the range 2 to 1001. When modifying a VLAN, the valid range for the VLAN number is 2 to 1005.

On a new Token Ring VLAN, if you do not specify the parent parameter for a TrCRF, the default TrBRF (1005) is used.

The Catalyst 4000 family and 2948G switches are Ethernet-only devices.

The Catalyst 2948G switch is a fixed configuration switch. All ports are located on module 2; for this reason, if you enter 1/N for the module/port number, an error message is displayed.

Example

This example shows how to set VLAN 850 to include ports 4 through 7 on module 3. Ports 4 through 7 were originally assigned to TrCRF 1003, therefore, the message reflects the modification of VLAN 1003:

Console> (enable) set vlan 850 3/4-7
VLAN 850 modified.
VLAN 1003 modified.
VLAN  Mod/Ports
---- -----------------------
850   3/4-7

set vlan mapping

Use the set vlan mapping command to map 802.1Q VLANs to ISL VLANs.

set vlan mapping dot1q 1q_vlan_num isl isl_vlan_num

Syntax Description

dot1q

Keyword to specify the 802.1Q VLAN.

1q_vlan_num

Number identifying the 802.1Q VLAN; valid values are 1001 to 4095.

isl

Keyword to specify the ISL VLAN.

isl_vlan_num

Number identifying the ISL VLAN; valid values are 1 to 1000.

Default

The default is no 802.1Q-to-ISL mappings are defined.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN trunks support VLANs 1 through 4095. ISL VLAN trunks support VLANs 1 through 1000. The switch automatically maps 802.1Q VLANs 1000 and lower to ISL VLANs with the same number.

Catalyst 4000 family and 2948G switches only support 802.1Q trunks. You can map up to seven VLAN indexes greater than 1000 to ISL VLANs.

The native VLAN of the 802.1Q trunk cannot be used in the mapping.

Use this feature to map 802.1Q VLANs above 1000 to ISL VLANs. Note that if you map a 802.1Q VLAN over 1000 to an ISL VLAN, the corresponding 802.1Q VLAN will be blocked. For example, if you map 802.1Q VLAN 2000 to ISL VLAN 200, then 802.1Q VLAN 200 will be blocked.

You can map up to seven VLANs. Only one 802.1Q VLAN can be mapped to an ISL VLAN. For example, if 802.1Q VLAN 800 has been automatically mapped to ISL VLAN 800, do not manually map any other 802.1Q VLANs to ISL VLAN 800.

You cannot overwrite existing 802.1Q VLAN mapping. If the 802.1Q VLAN number is in the mapping table, the command is aborted. You must first clear that mapping.

If vlan_num does not exist, then either of the following occurs:

If the table is full, the command is aborted with an error message indicating the table is full.

Examples

This example shows how to map VLAN 1022 to ISL VLAN 850:

Console> (enable) set vlan mapping dot1q 1022 isl 850
Vlan 850 configuration successful
Vlan mapping successful
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows the display if you enter a VLAN that does not exist:

Console> (enable) set vlan mapping dot1q 1017 isl 999
Vlan mapping successful
Warning: vlan 999 non-existent
Vlan 999 configuration successful
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows the display if you enter an existing mapping:

Console> (enable) set vlan mapping dot1q 1033 isl 722
722 exists in the mapping table. Please clear the mapping first.
Console> (enable)
 

This example shows the display if the mapping table is full:

Console> (enable) set vlan mapping dot1q 1099 isl 917
Vlan Mapping Table Full.
Console> (enable)

Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

You can specify the IP addresses of up to three VMPS servers. You can define any VMPS server as the primary VMPS server.

If the primary VMPS server is down, all subsequent queries go to a secondary VMPS server. VMPS checks on the primary server's availability once every five minutes. When the primary VMPS server comes back online, subsequent VMPS queries are directed back to the primary VMPS server.

To use a co-resident VMPS (when VMPS is enabled in a device), configure one of the three VMPS addresses as the IP address of interface sc0.

Example

This example shows how to define a VMPS server:

Console> (enable) set vmps server 192.168.10.140 primary
192.168.10.140 added to VMPS table as primary domain server.
Console> (enable) set vmps server 192.168.69.171

set vtp

Use the set vtp command to set the options for VTP.

set vtp [domain domain_name] [mode {client | server | transparent}] [passwd passwd]
[pruning {enable | disable}] [v2 {enable | disable}]

Syntax Description

domain domain_name

(Optional) Keywords to define the name that identifies the VLAN management domain. The domain_name can be 1 to 32 characters in length.

mode

(Optional) Keywords to specify the VTP mode.

client

Keyword to specify VTP client mode.

Keyword to specify VTP transparent mode.

passwd passwd

(Optional) Keyword to define the VLAN trunk protocol password. The VTP password can be 8 to 64 characters in length.

pruning enable | disable

(Optional) Keywords to enable or disable VTP pruning for the entire management domain.

v2

(Optional) Keyword to set version 2 mode.

enable

Keyword to enable v2.

disable

Keyword to disable v2.

Default

The defaults are as follows: server mode, no password, pruning disabled, and v2 disabled.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

All switches in a VTP domain must run the same version of VTP. VTP version 1 and VTP
version 2 do not operate on switches in the same VTP domain. VTP version 2 is supported in software release 3.1(1) and later and is disabled by default.

If all switches in a domain are VTP version 2-capable, you only need to enable VTP version 2 on one switch (using the set vtp v2 enable command); the version number is then propagated to the other version 2-capable switches in the VTP domain.

If the VTP password has already been defined, entering passwd 0 (zero) clears the VTP password.

VTP supports three different modes: server, client, and transparent. If you make a change to the VTP or VLAN configuration on a switch in server mode, that change is propagated to all of the switches in the same VTP domain.

If the receiving switch is in server mode and its revision number is higher than the sending switch, the configuration is not changed. If the revision number is lower the configuration is duplicated.

If the receiving switch is in client mode, the client switch changes its configuration to duplicate the configuration of the server. If you have switches in client mode, make sure to make all VTP or VLAN configuration changes on a switch in server mode.

If the receiving switch is in transparent mode, the configuration is not changed. Switches in transparent mode do not participate in VTP. If you make VTP or VLAN configuration changes on a switch in transparent mode, the changes are not propagated to the other switches in the network.

If you assign a VTP password, no VTP or VLAN configuration changes can be made without first entering the password.

The pruning keyword is used to enable or disable VTP pruning for the VTP domain. VTP pruning causes information about each pruning-eligible VLAN to be removed from VTP updates if there are no stations belonging to that VLAN out a particular switch port. Use the set vtp pruneeligible and clear vtp pruneeligible commands to specify which VLANs should or should not be pruned when pruning is enabled for the domain.

To disable VTP, enter the set vtp mode transparent command. This disables VTP from the domain but does not remove the domain from the switch. Use the clear config all command to remove the domain from the switch.

Caution Be careful when you use the clear config all command. This command clears the entire switch configuration, not just the VTP domain.
Example

This example shows how to use the set vtp command:

Console> (enable) set vtp domain Engineering mode client
VTP domain Engineering modified
Console> (enable)
Related Commands

show vtp domain
set vlan
clear vlan
show vlan
set vtp pruneeligible
clear vtp pruneeligible

set vtp pruneeligible

Use the set vtp pruneeligible command to specify which VLANs in the VTP domain are eligible for pruning.

set vtp pruneeligible vlans

Syntax Description

vlans

Range of VLAN numbers; valid values are 2 to 1000.

Default

By default, VLANs 2 through 1000 are eligible for pruning.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches
Catalyst 4000 family switches
Catalyst 2926G series switches
Catalyst 2948G switch

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

VTP pruning causes information about each pruning-eligible VLAN to be removed from VTP updates if there are no stations belonging to that VLAN out a particular switch port. Use the set vtp command to enable VTP pruning.

By default, VLANs 2 through 1000 are pruning eligible. You do not need to use the set vtp pruneeligible command unless you have previously used the clear vtp pruneeligible command to make some VLANs pruning ineligible.

If VLANs have been made pruning ineligible, use the set vtp pruneeligible command to make them pruning eligible again.

Examples

This example shows how to configure pruning eligibility for VLANs 120 and 150:

Console> (enable) set vtp pruneeligible 120,150
Vlans 120,150 eligible for pruning on this device.
VTP domain nada modified.
Console> (enable)
 

In this example, VLANs 200-500 were made pruning ineligible using the clear vtp pruneeligible command. This example shows how to make VLANs 220 through 320 pruning eligible again:

Console> (enable) clear vtp pruneeligible 200-500
Vlans 1,200-500,1001-1005 will not be pruned on this device.
VTP domain Company modified.
Console> (enable)
Console> (enable) set vtp pruneeligible 220-320
