(config-if) bandwidth

To configure the link speed on a network interface, use the bandwidth interface configuration command. To restore default values, use the no form of this command.

bandwidth { 10 | 100 | 1000 }

no bandwidth { 10 | 100 | 1000 }

Syntax Description

10	Sets the link speed to 10 megabits per second (Mbps).
100	Sets the link speed to 100 Mbps.
1000	Sets the link speed to 1000 Mbps. This option is not available on all ports and is the same as autosense.

Defaults

No default behaviors or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

To configure the link speed of a network interface on a WAAS device, use the bandwidth interface configuration command. The speed is specified in megabits per second (Mbps). The WAAS software automatically enables autosense if the speed is set to 1000 Mbps.

Note Changing the interface bandwidth, duplex mode, or MTU can cause network disruption for up to 10 seconds. The best practice is to make such changes when traffic interception is disabled or at an off-peak time when traffic disruption is acceptable.

You can configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface settings (autosense, link speed, and duplex settings) if the Gigabit over copper interface is up or down. If the interface is up, it applies the specific interface settings. If the interface is down, the specified settings are stored and then applied when the interface is brought up. For example, you can specify any of the following commands for a Gigabit over copper interface, which is currently down, and have these settings automatically applied when the interface is brought up.

WAE(config-if)# bandwidth 10

WAE(config-if)# bandwidth 100

WAE(config-if)# bandwidth 1000

WAE(config-if)# autosense

WAE(config-if)# half-duplex

WAE(config-if)# full-duplex

Note We strongly recommend that you do not use half duplex on the WAE, routers, switches, or other devices. Half duplex impedes the system ability to improve performance and should not be used. Check each Cisco WAE interface and the port configuration on the adjacent device (router, switch, firewall, WAE) to verify that full duplex is configured.

Examples

The following example shows how to set an interface bandwidth to 1000 Mbps:

WAE(config-if)# bandwidth 1000

The following example shows how to restore default bandwidth values on an interface:

WAE(config-if)# no bandwidth

Related Commands

(config-if) autosense

(config-if) cdp

To enable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on a particular interface on a WAAS device, rather than on all interfaces, use the cdp interface configuration command.

cdp enable

Syntax Description

enable

Enables CDP on an interface.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

Using the cdp enable command in global configuration mode enables CDP globally on all the interfaces of the WAAS device. If you want to control CDP behavior per interface, then use the cdp enable command in interface configuration mode.

Note Enabling CDP at the interface level overrides the global control. However, you must enable CDP globally on the WAAS device before you enable CDP on an interface. Otherwise, the following message is displayed in the command output:

WAE(config-if)# cdp enable

Cannot enable CDP on this interface, CDP Global is disabled

Examples

The following example shows how to enable CDP on Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 1/port 0) of the WAAS device:

WAE# configure

WAE(config)# cdp enable

WAE(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/0

WAE(config-if)# cdp enable

Related Commands

Related Commands

(config-if) encapsulation dot1Q

To set the VLAN ID that is to be assigned to traffic that leaves a WAE, use the encapsulation dot1Q interface configuration command.

encapsulation dot1Q VLAN

Syntax Description

VLAN

VLAN ID from 1–4094.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

Usage Guidelines

The encapsulation dot1Q command is available only for the inlineGroup interface.

Note If the VLAN ID that you set with the encapsulation dot1Q interface command does not match the VLAN ID expected by the router subinterface, you may not be able to connect to the inline interface IP address.

The inline adapter or module supports only a single VLAN ID for each inline group interface. If you have configured a secondary address from a different subnet on an inline interface, you must have the same secondary address assigned on the router subinterface for the VLAN.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a VLAN ID to encapsulate traffic leaving the WAE:

(config)# interface inlineGroup 1/0

(config-if)# encapsulation dot1Q 100

Related Commands

(config-if) ip

(config-if) exit

(config-if) full-duplex

To configure an interface for full-duplex operation on a WAAS device, use the full-duplex interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

full-duplex

no full-duplex

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

Use this interface command to configure an interface for full duplex. Full duplex allows data to travel in both directions at the same time through an interface or a cable. Half duplex ensures that data travels only in one direction at any given time. Although full duplex is faster, the interfaces sometimes cannot operate effectively in this mode. If you encounter excessive collisions or network errors, configure the interface for half duplex rather than full duplex.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure full duplex on a Gigabit Ethernet interface in slot 1/port 0:

WAE# configure

WAE(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/0

WAE(config-if)# full-duplex

The following example shows how to disable full duplex:

WAE(config-if)# no full-duplex

Usage Guidelines

Use this interface configuration command to configure an interface for half duplex. Full duplex allows data to travel in both directions at the same time through an interface or a cable. Half duplex ensures that data travels only in one direction at any given time. Although full duplex is faster, the interfaces sometimes cannot operate effectively in this mode.

(config-if) inline

To enable inline interception for an inlineGroup interface, use the inline interface configuration command. To disable inline interception, use the no form of this command.

inline [ vlan { all | native | vlan_list }]

no inline [vlan { all | native | vlan_list }]

Syntax Description

vlan	(Optional) Modifies the VLAN list parameters.
all	Applies the command to all tagged and untagged packets.
native	Specifies untagged packets.
vlan_list	List of VLAN IDs to either allow or restrict on this interface. A comma (,) is used to separate list entries. A hyphen (-) is used to specify a range of VLAN IDs. The valid range is 0 to 4095.

Defaults

The default is enabled for all VLANs if you have a WAE inline network adapter installed.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

The inline command is used in the inlineGroup interface scope. It enables or disables inline interception. If the VLAN list is omitted, the command applies to all VLAN tagged or untagged packets.You can restrict the inline feature to any specified set of VLANs.

The VLAN list can be “all,” a comma-separated list of VLAN IDs, or ranges of VLAN IDs. The special VLAN ID “native” can be included to specify untagged packets.

Note When inline inspection is active, you cannot configure WCCP until you explicitly disable the inline capability on all VLANs. Conversely, you cannot enable inline interception on any inline groups until you disable WCCP.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable inline interception for all untagged and tagged packets with any VLAN ID received on ports in inlineGroup 0 of the adapter that is installed in slot 1:

(config)# interface inlineGroup 1/0

(config-if)# inline

(config-if)# exit

The following example shows how to disable inline interception on the same ports for 802.1Q-encapsulated packets that have the VLAN ID 5 or any VLAN ID between 10 and 15, inclusive. If the two VLANs are combined in the given order, inline interception is performed for all packets received on ports in group 0 of slot 1, except those packets on VLANs 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

(config)# interface inlineGroup 1/0

(config-if)# no inline vlan 5,10-15

(config-if)# exit

The following example shows how to enable inline interception for all untagged traffic and traffic only on VLANs 0 through 100 on the ports in group 1 in slot 2:

(config)# interface inlineGroup 2/1

(config-if)# no inline vlan 101-4095

(config-if)# exit

The following example shows how to enable inline interception for traffic only on VLAN 395 on the ports in group 1 in slot 2. Because the default behavior is to enable traffic on all VLANs, you must first disable all VLANs, and then enable just the set that you want.

(config)# interface inlineGroup 2/1

(config-if)# no inline vlan all

(config-if)# inline vlan 395

(config-if)# exit

Related Commands

(config-if) ip

To configure the IP address or subnet mask, or to negotiate an IP address from DHCP on the interface of the WAAS device, use the ip interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

ip address { ip-address ip-subnet [ secondary ] | dhcp [ client-id id ][ hostname name ]}

no ip address { ip-address ip-subnet [ secondary ] | dhcp [ client-id id ][ hostname name ]}

Syntax Description

address	Sets the IP address of an interface.
ip-address	IP address.
ip-subnet	IP subnet mask.
secondary	(Optional) Makes this IP address a secondary address.
dhcp	Sets the IP address negotiated over DHCP.
client-id id	(Optional) Specifies the client identifier.
hostname name	(Optional) Specifies the hostname.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set or change the IP address, subnet mask, or DHCP IP address negotiation of the network interfaces of the WAAS device or inline module. The change in the IP address takes place immediately.

The ip address interface configuration command allows configuration of secondary IP addresses for a specified interface as follows:

WAE(config-if)# ip address ip_address netmask secondary

Up to four secondary IP addresses can be specified for each interface. The same IP address cannot be assigned to more than one interface. The secondary IP address becomes active only after a primary IP address is configured. The following command configures the primary IP address:

WAE(config-if)# ip address ip_address netmask

The secondary IP addresses are disabled when the interface is shut down and are enabled when the interface is brought up.

Use the no form of the command to disable a specific IP address:

WAE(config-if)# no ip address ip_address netmask

Note No two interfaces can have IP addresses in the same subnet.

Use the ip-address dhcp command to negotiate a reusable IP address from DHCP.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the port-channel interface with an IP address of 10.10.10.10 and a netmask of 255.0.0.0:

WAE# configure

WAE(config)# interface PortChannel 1

WAE(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0

The following example shows how to delete the IP address configured on the interface:

WAE(config-if)# no ip address

The following example shows how to enable an interface for DHCP:

WAE(config-if)# ip address dhcp

The following example shows how to configure a client identifier and hostname on the WAAS device to be sent to the DHCP server:

WAE(config-if)# ip address dhcp client-id myclient hostname myhost

Related Commands

(config-if) ip access-group

To control connections on a specific interface of a WAAS device by applying a predefined access list, use the ip access-group interface configuration command. To disable an access list, use the no form of this command.

ip access-group { acl-name | acl-num } { in | out }

no ip access-group { acl-name | acl-num } { in | out }

Syntax Description

acl-name	Alphanumeric identifier of up to 30 characters, beginning with a letter that identifies the ACL to apply to the current interface.
acl-num	Numeric identifier that identifies the access list to apply to the current interface. For standard access lists, the valid range is 1 to 99; for extended access lists, the valid range is 100 to 199.
in	Applies the specified access list to inbound packets on the current interface.
out	Applies the specified access list to outbound packets on the current interface.

Defaults

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip access-group interface configuration command to activate an access list on a particular interface. You can use one outbound access list and one inbound access list on each interface.

Before entering the ip access-group command, enter interface configuration mode for the interface to which you want to apply the access list. Define the access list to apply using the ip access-list command.

Examples

The following example shows how to apply the access list named acl-out to outbound traffic on the interface Gigabit Ethernet 1/2:

WAE(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/2

WAE(config-if)# ip access-group acl-out out

shutdown	(Optional) Shuts down the specified standby group. You can shut down a standby group even if you have not configured a group IP address for the standby group. Note When a standby group is shut down, all of the alarms previously raised by this standby group are cleared.

Defaults

There are no standby interfaces by default.

Command Modes

interface configuration

Device Modes

application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines

You can associate an interface with a standby group by using the standby interface configuration command. To make an interface the active interface in a standby group, use the standby group-index primary interface configuration command. If you have already associated an interface with a standby group but have not made it the primary interface, you cannot specify the command again to add the primary designation. First, remove the interface from the standby group by using the no standby group-index command and then reassign it, specifying the primary option at the same time.

A physical interface can be a member of a standby group or a port channel, but not both.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a standby group:

WAE# configure

WAE(config)# interface standby 1

WAE(config-if)#

The following example shows how to assign a group IP address of 10.10.10.10 and a netmask of 255.0.0.0 to Standby Group 1. You can configure a group IP address regardless of whether the standby group is shut down or not.

WAE(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0

The following example shows how to add two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to Standby Group 1 and then assign one of these member interfaces as the active interface in the group:

a. A Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 1/port 0) is added to Standby Group 1.

WAE(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0

WAE(config-if)# standby 1

b. A second Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 2/port 0) is added to Standby Group 1 and assigned as the primary (active) interface.

WAE(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 2/0

WAE(config-if)# standby 1 primary

WAE(config-if)# exit

WAE(config)#

The following example shows how to remove the GigabitEthernet slot 1/port 0 interface from Standby Group 1 using the no form of the standby command:

WAE(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0

WAE(config-if)# no standby 1

WAE(config-if)# exit

WAE(config)#

The following example shows how to shut down Standby Group 1. When a standby group is shut down, all of the alarms previously raised by this standby group are cleared:

WAE(config)# interface standby 1

WAE(config-if)# exit

WAE(config)# exit

The following example shows how to tear down Standby Group 1:

WAE(config)# interface standby 1

WAE(config-if)# no ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0

Please remove member interface(s) from this standby group first.

WAE(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 2/0

WAE(config-if)# no standby 1

WAE(config-if)# exit

WAE(config)# interface standby 1

WAE(config-if)# no ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0

WAE(config-if)# exit

WAE(config)# no interface standby 1
