Asante Technologies IC36240 Interface Configuration Mode, Spanning-Tree Configuration Mode

4.3.1 Interface Configuration Mode

Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands modify the operation of an interface such as an Ethernet or serial port. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global configuration command, which defines the interface type as Ethernet.

In the following example shows configuration of Ethernet interface (eth1). The new prompt, Switch(config-if- eth1)#, indicates the interface configuration mode. In this example, the user asks for help by requesting a list of commands.

Switch(config)# interface eth1

Switch(config-if-eth1)# ?

description	Interface specific description
dot1x	IEEE 802.1x configuration
duplex	Configure duplex operation
end	End current mode and change to enable mode
exit	Exit current mode and down to previous mode
fair-queue	Fair-queue interface configuration commands
flow-control	IEEE 802.3X Flow Control Enable command
help	Description of the interactive help system
ip	Interface Internet Protocol config commands
lacp	Configure LACP
mac	control access to an interface
mtu	Set the interface Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
negotiation	Select Autonegotiation mode
no	Negate a command or set its defaults
priority-group	Assign a priority queue list to an interface
quit	Exit current mode and down to previous mode
rate-limit	To configure committed access rate (CAR)policies
show	Show running system information
shutdown	Shutdown the selected interface
spanning-tree	Spanning Tree Protocol interface command
speed	Configure speed operation
storm-control	Enable storm control on the interface.
switchport	Port operating in L2 mode
tos-group	Assign a tos list to an interface
traffic-shape	Generic traffic shape QoS interface configuration commands
write	Write running configuration to memory, network, or terminal

To exit interface configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, enter the exit command. To exit configuration mode and return to top mode, use the end command or press Ctrl-Z.

4.3.2 Spanning-Tree Configuration Mode

Spanning Tree configuration commands are used to configure an IP routing protocol and always follow a Switch command. To list the available Switch configuration keywords, enter the Switch command followed by a space and a question mark (?) at the global configuration prompt.

Switch(config)#	spanning-tree ?
mst	Enable multiple spanning tree (IEEE 802.1s)
forward-time	Set forwarding delay time
hello-time	Set interval between HELLOs
max-age	Maximum allowed message age of received Hello BPDUs
priority	Set bridge priority
rapid	Enable rapid convergence
