Configuring
Switch Ports
Using the CLI
To configure switch ports using the CLi, enter the following
command from Configure mode:
> (configure)# set port <options>
Refer to the Cajun P500/P880/P882 Switch Command Line Interface
Reference Guide for more details about this command.
Automatic
VLAN Creation
Select Enable to automatically create a VLAN each time the
port receives a frame from an unknown VLAN. Disable is the
default.
VTP Snooping Select Enable to allow VTP Snooping on this port. Disable is
the default.
Allow
Learning
Select Disable to keep the port from learning new MAC
addresses and forward them to the CPU to be added to the
VLANs AFT. Enable is the default.
Note: If a MAC address is moved to a different VLAN, it will
co-exist in AFTs, one entry for each VLAN (This is a
benefit of having multiple forwarding databases).
Hunt Group Select a hunt group for which this port will be a member.
None is the default.
Spanning Tree
Mode
Select Disable to remove STP on this port. Enable is the
default.
Fast Start Select Enable for fast start on this port. Disable is the default.
Known Mode Specifies whether or not the port will broadcast traffic with
an unknown destination in the address forwarding table
(e.g., destination unknown unicast packets). Disable allows
broadcast traffic with an unknown destination to be
transmitted over the port (default). Enable allows the port to
only forward frames with known destinations in the address
forwarding table.
3Com Mapping
Table
Select how incoming tagged frames from 3Com equipment
are mapped to Lucent VLANs. The default value is
3ComDefault.
Mirror Port Displays the status of the mirror port (enabled or disabled).
This is a Fast Ethernet only option.
