5. When are done changing translations, enter save to save all your settings. If you enter
quit, you will exit the swch command without saving your changes.
Please note that valid translation options depend on the media type of the port. Ethernet
ports allow all frame translation options, but FDDI and Token Ring ports have limitations. See
Default FDDI Translations on page 18-27 and Default Token Ring Translations on page 18-28
for more information on media limitations.
Configuring Additional Ports
If you want to configure additional ports, you can use the n option of the swch command to
configure the next port, or the p option of the swch command to configure the previous port.
For example, if you want to configure translations on port 2 for the card in slot 4 after config-
uring Port 1 in Slot 4, enter
n
at the prompt. You are now ready to configure port 3 of slot 4.
If you want to configure translations on port 1 for the card in slot 5 after configuring Port 2 in
Slot 5, enter
p
at the prompt. You are now ready to configure port 1 of slot 5.
When are done changing translations, enter
save to save all your settings. If you enter quit,
you will exit the swch command without saving your changes.
Displaying Ethernet Switch Statistics
The swch command can also be used to display basic statistics for Ethernet ports. These statis-
tics are the lowest level, most primitive statistics maintained by an Ethernet board. The more
familiar RMON and MIB II statistics are generated from these statistics. If you want to display
the switch statistics for an Ethernet port, enter
swch <slot>/<port>
where <slot> is the slot number of the module, and <port> is the number of the port for which
you want to view statistics. For example, to look at statistics for port 4 in slot 3, enter:
swch 3/4
A screen similar to the following is displayed:
Port Translations for Ethernet port 3/4/brg/1
0 Framing Type: DFLT
Translation Options:
1 IP Ethertype -> Ethertype
2 IP IEEE 802 SNAP -> Ethertype
3 IPX ETHERNET_II -> 802.3
4 IPX ETHERNET_802.3 -> 802.3
5 IPX ETHERNET_802.2/FDDI/TOKEN_RING -> 802.3
6 IPX ETHERNET_SNAP/FDDI_SNAP/TOKEN-RING_SNAP -> 802.3
If this port is an Ethernet media port, enter r at the system prompt and then press <Return>. If
you do this for a port other than an Ethernet port, this will be ignored.
