Spaces are allowed, but you should not use special characters, such as asterisks or exclamation points. (You cannot set a port description if you are configuring more than one port.) 1 - Status You use this option to enable or disable a port.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide If you select Auto for Auto-Negotiation, which is the default setting, the switch sets speed, duplex mode, and MDI crossover for the port automatically. The switch determines the highest possible common speed between the port and its end node and sets the port to that speed. This helps to ensure that the port and the end node are operating at the highest possible common speed.
Chapter 2: Port Parameters 1000 Mbps (Applies only to 1000Base SFP and GBIC modules. This selection should not be used. An SFP or GBIC module should use Auto-Negotiation to set its speed and duplex mode.) 8 - Duplex This item is only available when Negotiation is set to Manual. The possible settings are full-duplex and half-duplex. 9 - MDI Crossover This item is only available when Negotiation is set to Manual. This selection sets the wiring configuration of a twisted pair port.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Configuring Head of Line Blocking Head of line (HOL) blocking is a problem that occurs when a port on a switch becomes oversubscribed. An oversubscribed port is receiving more packets from other switch ports than it can transmit in a timely manner. An oversubscribed port can prevent other ports from forwarding packets to each other because ingress packets on a port are buffered in a First In, First Out (FIFO) manner.
Chapter 2: Port Parameters other ports to discard packets destined for port D. Port A drops the D packets, enabling it to once again forward packets to port C. The number that you enter for this value represents cells. A cell is 128 bytes. The range is 0 to 8191 cells. The default is 682. To set up head of line blocking, perform the following procedure: 1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration. The Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 13 on page 62. 2.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Configuring Flow Control and Back Pressure A switch port uses flow control to control the flow of ingress packets from its end node when operating in full-duplex mode. A port using flow control issues a special frame, referred to as a PAUSE frame, as specified in the IEEE 802.3x standard, to stop the transmission of data from an end node. When a port needs to stop an end node from transmitting data, it issues this frame.
Chapter 2: Port Parameters 4. From the Port Configuration menu, type 3 to select Flow Control. The Flow Control menu is shown in Figure 17. Allied Telesis AT-9424T/SP - AT-S63 Marketing User: Manager 11:20:02 02-Mar-2005 Flow Control Configuring Port 11 1 - Flow Control (Full-Duplex) Status .... Disabled 2 - Flow Control Threshold ............... 7935 cells 3 - Back Pressure (Half-Duplex) Status ... Disabled 4 - Back Pressure Threshold ..............
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Configuring Port Filtering If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can use these parameters to restrict ingress and egress broadcast packets as well as unknown unicast and multicast packets forwarded by a port. Activating this feature on a port causes the port to discard all packets of the type you specified.

Chapter 11 Event Logs and the Syslog Client This chapter describes how to monitor the activity of a switch by viewing the event messages in the event logs and sending the messages to a syslog server.
Chapter 11: Event Logs and the Syslog Client Working with the Event Logs This section contains the following procedures: Enabling or Disabling the Event Logs “Enabling or Disabling the Event Logs,” next “Displaying an Event Log” on page 205 “Modifying the Event Log Full Action” on page 211 “Clearing an Event Log” on page 212 “Saving an Event Log to a File” on page 212 This procedure explains how to enable or disable the event logs on the switch.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide 3. To enable or disable event logging, type 1 to toggle Event Logging between the two options: Enabled The switch immediately begins to add events to the logs and send events to any defined syslog servers. This is the default. Disabled The switch does not store events in the logs and does not send events to any syslog servers. Note You cannot individually disable or enable the temporary and permanent event logs.
Chapter 11: Event Logs and the Syslog Client 4. To select the order of the events in the event log, type 3 to select Display Order and toggle between these two options: Chronological Displays the events in the order from the oldest event to the most recent event. This is the default. Reverse Chronological Displays the events from the most recent event to the oldest event. 5.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide 7. To view the events of a particular AT-S63 software module, type 7 to select Event Module and enter the module. To specify more than one module, separate them by a comma—for example, “system, stp, ptrunk.” The default is ALL, which displays the events of all the modules. The AT-S63 Management Software consists of modules, each responsible for a different part of switch operation.

Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces Creating a New Routing Interface A routing interface is a logical connection to a local network or subnet for routing IPv4 packets. Interfaces route packets between the local networks and subnets directly connected to the switch and also function as anchor points for static routes and RIP. To create a new routing interface, perform the following procedure: 1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration. 2.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide If a routing interface has been designated as the local interface of a switch, its name is followed by “eth0”. The local interface is used for enhanced stacking and remote Telnet, SSH, and web browser management. IPAddress The IP address of the interface. NetMask The subnet mask of the interface. Status The status of the interface. The status “UP” means the VLAN of the interface has at least one active port.
Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces The following prompt is displayed: Enter IP Address [STATIC IP|DHCP|BOOTP]: 8. Enter a static IP address for the new interface or enter “DHCP” or “BOOTP” to activate the DHCP or BOOTP client. Note Skip steps 9 and 10 if you selected DHCP or BOOTP in step 8. 9. To change the default subnet mask for a static IP address, type 3 to select Subnet Mask. The following prompt is displayed: Enter Subnet Mask: 10.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Modifying a Routing Interface This procedure modifies the IP address and subnet mask of a routing interface. Note the following before performing this procedure: Modifying the IP address of a routing interface deletes all static routes assigned to the interface. Modifying the IP address of a routing interface that has RIP removes the routing protocol from the interface and deletes all RIP routes learned on the interface from the routing table.
Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces The specifications of the interface are displayed in the Modify Interface menu. An example is shown in Figure 197.

Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces Deleting a Routing Interface This procedure deletes a routing interface from the switch. Note the following before performing this command: All IPv4 packet routing to and from the local network or subnet of a deleted interface ceases. All static routes assigned to the interface are deleted from the routing table. If RIP was assigned to the interface, all dynamic routes learned by the interface are deleted from the routing table.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Displaying the IP Address of the Local Interface This procedure displays the IP address and subnet mask of the local interface on the switch. The local interface is used for remote Telnet, SSH, and web browser management of the switch. On the master switch of an enhanced stack, the local interface also designates the common VLAN of the switches. To view the IP address and subnet mask of the local interface, perform the following procedure: 1.
Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces Setting the Default Route or Default Gateway If you are configuring an AT-9400 Switch that supports IPv4 packet routing, such as the AT-9424Ts and AT-9448Ts/XP switches, you can configure the default route from the menus interface. The default route is used by the switch when it receives a network packet for routing, but cannot find a route for it.
AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide Setting the Local Interface This procedure designates the local interface of a switch. The local interface is used for remote Telnet, SSH, and web browser management of the switch. On the master switch of an enhanced stack, the local interface also designates the common VLAN of the switches. A switch can have only one local interface. The current local interface is indication in the Create Interface menu with “eth0” following its name.
Chapter 28: Internet Protocol Version 4 Routing Interfaces Setting the ARP Cache Timeout The ARP cache contains mappings of IP addresses to physical addresses for hosts where the switch has recently routed packets. To have an entry in the ARP cache, a host must have attempted to access another host, and it must have found the physical address by using the ARP protocol. (You must use the command line interface to view the ARP cache.) This procedure sets the ARP cache timeout value.
Section VIII Port Security The chapters in this section contain overview information on the port security features of the AT-9400 Switch. The chapters also explain how to configure these features from the menu interface of the AT-S63 Management Software.
