Chapter 7: Command-Line Management

2. Usage:

Use spanning-tree edgeport command to set a port as an edge-port and to enable rapid transitions.

Use the no spanning-tree edgeport command to set a port to its default state (not an edge-port) and to disable rapid transitions.

3. Command Syntax:

(no) spanning-tree edgeport

4. Example:

The following example enables the spanning-tree edgeport of the interface fe1 (port 1): switch_a(config)#interface fe1

switch_a(config-if)#spanning-tree edgeport switch_a(config-if)#

MSTP Properties

Region Name:

1. Command Mode: MST Configuration mode

Logon to Configure Mode (Configure Terminal Mode).

Then logon to MST Configuration mode.

The switch_a(config-mst)# prompt will show on the screen. switch_a(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration switch_a(config-mst)#

2. Usage:

Use this command to create an MST region and specify a name to it. MST bridges of a region form different spanning trees for different VLANs. By default, each MST bridge starts with the region name as its bridge address. This means each MST bridge is a region by itself, unless specifically added to one.

3. Command Syntax:

bridge GROUP region REGION_NAME no bridge GROUP region

GROUP <1-1> Specify the bridge-group ID.

REGION_NAME Specify the name of the region.

4. Example:

The following example creates an MST region and specifies a name (regionname) to it in bridge GROUP (1): Switch_a(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration

switch_a(config-mst)#bridge 1 region regionname switch_a(config-mst)#

Revision Level:

1. Command Mode: MST Configuration mode

Logon to Configure Mode (Configure Terminal Mode).

LEH1104A-2SFP, LEH1008A-2SFP, LEH1008A-2MMSC, LEH906A-2GSFP, LEH906A-2MMST specifications

Black Box has established itself as a leader in providing robust networking solutions, and its range of hardened managed Ethernet switches, including the LEH1104A-4MMST, LEH1008A-2MMST, LEH906A-2SFP, and LEH906A-2MMSC, exemplifies this commitment. These switches are specifically designed to withstand the harsh environments often found in industrial and outdoor settings, making them ideal for applications such as transportation, utility management, and manufacturing.

The LEH1104A-4MMST model features four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, providing a flexible solution for networks requiring fast and reliable connectivity. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling both data and power to be transmitted via a single cable, thereby simplifying installations and reducing wiring costs. This model also includes advanced features such as VLAN support, IGMP Snooping, and Quality of Service (QoS), ensuring optimized traffic management and network efficiency.

Similarly, the LEH1008A-2MMST switch offers eight ports and is built to handle a higher volume of connections without sacrificing performance. It boasts Layer 2 and Layer 3 management capabilities, allowing for complex network configurations and enhanced security measures such as port security and access control lists. The robust design and metal enclosure protect it from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

The LEH906A-2SFP and LEH906A-2MMSC switches focus on modularity and connectivity flexibility, with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports that enable users to choose the appropriate transceivers for their specific distances and media types, whether they require fiber or copper connections. Both models support dual-power inputs for redundancy and reliability, critical features for mission-critical applications.

All these switches are crafted to comply with industrial standards, ensuring reliable performance in diverse applications. Features such as redundant power supplies, fast recovery times, and support for protocols like SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) make network monitoring and management efficient and hassle-free.

In summary, Black Box’s hardened managed Ethernet switches, including the LEH1104A-4MMST, LEH1008A-2MMST, LEH906A-2SFP, and LEH906A-2MMSC, provide a perfect blend of durability, scalability, and management capabilities. These switches are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial networking while ensuring seamless connectivity for diverse applications, making them an excellent investment for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure.
