set spantree uplinkfast

Use the set spantree uplinkfast command to enable fast switchover to alternate ports when the root port fails. This command applies to a switch, not to a WAN.

set spantree uplinkfast enable [rate station_update_rate] [all-protocols {off | on}]
set spantree uplinkfast disable

Syntax Description

enable

Keyword to enable a fast switchover.

rate

(Optional) Keyword to specify the number of multicast packets transmitted per 100 ms when an alternate port is chosen after the root port goes down.

station_update_rate

(Optional) Number of multicast packets transmitted per 100 ms when an alternate port is chosen after the root port goes down.

all-protocols

(Optional) Keyword to specify whether the switch generates dummy multicast packets for all protocol groups (IP, IPX, and Group) in a network with switches using protocol filtering.

off

(Optional) Keyword to prevent the switch from generating multicasts for all protocol groups.

on

(Optional) Keyword to cause the switch to generate multicasts for all protocol groups.

disable

Keyword to disable fast switchover.

Default

The default station_update_rate is 15 packets per 100 ms.

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 set spantree uplinkfast enable command has the following results:

If you run set spantree uplinkfast enable on a switch that has this feature already enabled, only the station update rate is updated. The rest of the parameters are not modified.

If you run set spantree uplinkfast disable on a switch, the UplinkFast feature is disabled but the switch priority and port cost values are not reset to the factory defaults. To reset the values to the factory defaults, enter the clear spantree uplinkfast command.

The default station_update_rate value is 15 packets per 100 ms, which is equivalent to a 1 percent load on a 10-Mbps Ethernet port. If you specify this value as 0, the switch does not generate station-update-rate packets.

Use the all-protocols on keywords on switches that have UplinkFast enabled but do not have protocol filtering enabled, and that are connected to upstream switches in the network that have protocol filtering enabled. The all-protocols on keywords cause the switch to generate multicasts for each protocol-filtering group.

On switches with both UplinkFast and protocol filtering enabled, or if no other switches have protocol filtering enabled, you do not need to use the all-protocols on keywords.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the spantree UplinkFast feature and specify the number of multicast packets transmitted to 40 packets per 100 ms:

Console>(enable) set spantree uplinkfast enable rate 40
VLANs 1-1000 bridge priority set to 49152.
The port cost and portvlancost of all ports increased to above 3000.
Station update rate set to 40 packets/100ms.
uplinkfast turned on for bridge.
Console> (enable) 
 

This example shows how to disable the spantree UplinkFast feature:

console> (enable) set spantree uplinkfast disable
Uplinkfast disabled for switch. 
Use clear spantree uplinkfast to return stp parameters to default.
console>(enable) clear spantree uplink
This command will cause all portcosts, portvlancosts, and the 
bridge priority on all vlans to be set to default.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
VLANs 1-1005 bridge priority set to 32768.
The port cost of all bridge ports set to default value.
The portvlancost of all bridge ports set to default value.

Usage Guidelines

In Catalyst 5000 family and 2926G series software release 4.1(1) and later, and Catalyst 4000 family and 2948G software release 4.4 and later, if you use the set system name command to assign a name to the switch, the switch name is used as the prompt string. However, if you specify a different prompt string using the set prompt command, that string is used for the prompt. If no name is specified, the system name is cleared.

In Catalyst 5000 family and 2926G series software release 4.1(1) and later, if you do not specify a system name, the system name is cleared, and a DNS lookup is initiated for a system name. If a name is found, that is the name used; if no name is found, no name is designated.

The system name can be 255 characters long, and the prompt can be 20 characters long. The system name is truncated appropriately when used as a prompt; a greater-than symbol (>) is appended to the truncated system name. If the system name was found from a DNS lookup, it is truncated to remove the domain name. If the prompt is obtained using the system name, it is updated whenever the system name changes. You can overwrite this prompt any time by setting the prompt manually. Any change in the prompt is reflected in all current open sessions.

Example

This example shows how to set the system name to Information Systems:

Console> (enable) set system name Information Systems
System name set.
Console> (enable)

Usage Guideline

When tacacs directedrequest is enabled, you must specify a configured TACACS+ server after the @ sign. If the specified host name does not match the IP address of a configured TACACS+ server, the request is rejected. When tacacs directedrequest is disabled, the Catalyst 5000 family, 4000 family, and 2926G series, 2948G switch queries the list of servers beginning with the first server in the list and then sends the entire string, accepting the first response from the server. This command is useful for sites that have developed their own TACACS+ server software to parse the entire address string and make decisions based on the contents of the string.

Example

This example shows how to enable the tacacs directedrequest option:

Console> (enable) set tacacs directedrequest enable
Tacacs direct request has been enabled.
Console> (enable)

set tokenring acbits

Use the set tokenring acbits command to specify whether AC bits are set unconditionally or conditionally when a port forwards certain LLC frames.

set tokenring acbits mod_num/port_num {enable | disable | sronly | never | always}

Syntax Description

mod_num

Number of the module.

port_num

Number of the port on the module.

enable

Keyword used to unconditionally set the AC bits on source-routed frames with a RIF length greater than 2 and on all explorer frames in addition to setting the AC bits on all frames forwarded to another port. This parameter is only valid when local address learning is enabled on a port. Therefore, specifying enable automatically enables local address learning on the port.

disable

Keyword used to specify that the AC bits to be set based exclusively on whether the frame is forwarded to another port. This parameter is only valid when local address learning is enabled on a port. Therefore, specifying disable automatically enables local address learning on the port.

sronly

Keyword used to specify that the AC bits to be set only on source-routed frames with a RIF length greater than 2 and on all explorer frames.

never

Keyword used to specify that the AC bits to never be set on LLC frames. This parameter is only valid when local address learning is disabled on the port. Therefore, specifying never automatically disables local address learning on the port.

always

Keyword used to specify that the AC bits to always be set on LLC frames. This parameter is only valid when local address learning is disabled on a port. Therefore, specifying always automatically disables local address learning on the port.

Default

The default configuration when local address learning is enabled on a Token Ring port, the default is disable. When local address learning is disabled on a Token Ring port, the default is always.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the set tokenring acbits command to specify whether the AC bits should be set unconditionally on repeated source-routed LLC frames, which include source-routed frames with a RIF length greater than two and all Spanning-Tree Explorer and All-Routes Explorer frames.

If you set this parameter to disable, the setting of these bits is based on whether the frame was actually forwarded.

Examples

This example shows port 4 on module 4 is enabled to set unconditionally the AC bits when forwarding certain LLC frames:

Console> (enable) set tokenring acbits 4/4 enable
Port 4/4 acbits enabled.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

This command requires Token Ring module software release 3.2(3) or later.

To disable explorer frame throttling, set the maximum_explorers value to 0.

If the configured threshold is reached, any subsequent explorer frames received on the port are dropped until the next one-second window.

set tokenring locallearning

Use the set tokenring locallearning command to enable or disable local MAC address learning on a Token Ring port.

set tokenring locallearning mod_num/port_num enable | disable

Syntax Description

mod_num

Number of the module.

port_num

Number of the port on the module.

enable | disable

Keyword to specify whether local MAC address learning is enabled or disabled.

Default

The default is for local address learning to be enabled.

Supported Platforms

Catalyst 5000 family switches

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

When local address learning is enabled on a Token Ring port, the value of the address recognized AC bits in LLC frames is set by the ports based on whether the frame was actually forwarded. However, when local address learning is disabled, the AC bits cannot be set by the ports based on whether the frame was forwarded because all frames are forwarded to the Catalyst 5000 family switching backplane. Therefore, when local address learning is disabled on a Token Ring port, the AC bits must be set based on the type of frame that has been received. You can configure how the AC bits are set using the set tokenring acbits command.

When local address learning is disabled on a port, the port aging limits configured using the set tokenring portaging command are not used.

Example

This example shows how to disable local address learning:

Console> (enable) set tokenring locallearning 3/2 disable
Warning: Resetting acbit value to ALWAYS: 3/2
Local learning disabled for port 3/2
Console> (enable)
Related Command

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

An agingtime of 0 indicates the Token Ring module port address table entries are aged out using the CAM aging time for the corresponding VLAN that has been configured using the
set cam agingtime command.

Example

This example shows how to define the address aging limits for Token Ring port on port 2 on module 3:
