ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Command Line Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
— MAC Address Aging Time—Displays the length of time a learned MAC address
remains in the forwarding table without being seen as a source (that is, how long a
learned MAC address is allowed to remain idle before being deleted from the address
table). For additional information, refer to the “Configuring MAC Address Aging
Timer” section later in this chapter.
— IGMP Snooping Status—Displays the Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) snooping status set on the GbE Interconnect Switch. IGMP snooping enables
the switch to register IGMP packets being forwarded through the switch in order to
obtain multicast membership information from them, such as which ports are
attached to which multicast members. For additional information, refer to the
“Configuring IGMP Snooping” section later in this chapter.
— Switch GVRP Status—Displays the GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
status set on the GbE Interconnect Switch. GVRP allows dynamic propagation of
VLAN registration information across the GVRP-enabled switches on the same
network. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring GVRP” section later in
this chapter.
— Telnet Status—Displays the Telnet status set on the GbE Interconnect Switch. This
setting enables or disables access to the GbE Interconnect Switch over the network
using the Telnet protocol. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring
Telnet and Web Access Settings” section later in this chapter.
— Web Status—Displays the Web status set on the GbE Interconnect Switch. This
setting enables or disables management of the GbE Interconnect Switch over the
Web. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring Telnet and Web Access
Settings” section later in this chapter.
— Group Address Filter Mode—Displays the IGMP group address filter mode for
forwarding multicast packets. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring
IGMP Snooping” section later in this chapter.
— Scheduling Mechanism for CoS Queues—Displays the Class of Service queue
scheduling option set on the GbE Interconnect Switch. For additional information,
refer to the “Configuring Class of Service, Default Port Priority, and Traffic Class”
section later in this chapter.
— Trunk Load Sharing Algorithm—Displays the port trunk load sharing option set on
the GbE Interconnect Switch. This setting determines if load balancing decisions will
be made based on the source MAC address, destination MAC address, or both
addresses. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring the Trunk Load
Sharing Algorithm Options” later in this chapter.
— Backpressure— Displays the backpressure option set on the 10/100 ports of the GbE
Interconnect Switch. When backpressure is enabled and there is incoming traffic
congestion on a 10/100 port, the receiving port sends a request to the transmitting
port. The transmitting port acknowledges the request and stops sending packets for a
random amount of time, before it starts sending again. For additional informtion,
refer to the “Configuring Backpressure Flow Control” section later in this chapter.
— TFTP Port Number—Displays the port number used for the TFTP server. For
additional information, refer to the “Using System Utilities” section later in this
chapter.
