Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference

slave auto-sync config

To turn on automatic synchronization of configuration files for a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router that is configured for High System Availability (HSA) using Dual RSP Cards, use the slave auto-sync config global configuration command. To turn off automatic synchronization, use the no form of the command.

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Enabled

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
11.1	The command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command for a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router that is configured for dual RSP cards. On the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 router, you can install two RSP cards in a single router to improve system availability. Dual RSP Cards is a High System Availability (HSA) feature.

In automatic synchronization mode, when you issue a copy EXEC command that specifies the primary devices’ startup configuration (nvram:startup-config ) as the target, the primary device also copies the same file to the secondary devices' startup configuration (slavenvram:startup-config ). Use this command when implementing HSA for simple hardware backup or for software error protection to ensure that the primary and secondary RSP contain the same configuration files.

Examples

The following example turns on automatic configuration file synchronization. When the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command is entered, the running configuration is saved to the startup configurations of both the primary RSP and the secondary RSP.


Router(config)# slave auto-sync config
Router(config)# end
Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config

Release	Modification
11.1	The command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command for a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router that is configured for Dual RSP Cards. On the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 router, you can install two RSP cards in a single router to improve system availability. Dual RSP Cards is a High System Availability (HSA) feature.

The router uses the default secondary information when booting as follows:

If a system boot is due to powering up the router or using the reload EXEC command, then the specified default secondary will be the secondary RSP.
If a system boot is due to a system crash or hardware failure, then the system ignores the default secondary designation, and makes the crashed or faulty RSP card the secondary RSP.

Examples

In the following example, the user sets the default secondary RSP to processor slot 2 on a Cisco 7507 router:


c7507(config)# slave default-slot 2

Related Commands


Command	Description
reload	Reloads the operating system.
show controller cbus	Displays detailed information on the cards connected to the CBus controller.
show stack s	Displays the stack trace and version information of the master and secondary RSP cards.
show version	Displays the software version running on the master and secondary RSP cards.

slave image

To specify the image that the secondary Route Switch Processor (RSP) runs on a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router, use the slave image command in global configuration mode.

slave image {system | file-url}

Syntax Description


system	Loads the secondary image that is bundled with the primary system image. This is the default.
`file-url`	The specified file in Flash file system from which the secondary image will be load. If you do not specify a filename, the first file in the specified Flash file system is the default file.

Command Default

The default is to load the image from the system bundle.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
11.1	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command for a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router that is configured for Dual RSP Cards. On the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 router, you can install two RSP cards in a single router to improve system availability. Dual RSP Cards is a High System Availability (HSA) feature.

Use the slave image command to override the secondary image that is bundled with the primary image.

When using HSA for simple hardware backup, ensure that the secondary image is in the same location on the primary and the secondary RSP card. Thus, if the secondary RSP card becomes the primary RSP card, it will be able to find the secondary image and download it to the new secondary card.

Note

The default length of the bootstring filename is 64 characters. Depending on the platform a longer bootstring filename can be used and supported.

Examples

In the following example, the secondary RSP is specified to run the rsp-dw-mz.ucode.111-3.2 image from slot 0:


Router(config)# slave image slot0:rsp-dw-mz.ucode.111-3.2

software install file

To install IOS XE Software files, use the software install file command in Privileged EXEC mode.

software install file bundle url [switchnodes] [auto-rollbackminutes] [force] [on-reboot] [provisioning-fileprovisioning-file url] [force] [new] [verbose]

Syntax Description


file`bundle url`	Specify the url of the bundle file to be installed.
switch`nodes`	(optional) Specifies which switch(es) should perform the install operation using '1,2,4' and/or '2-4' notation. Default is all switches in the stack.
auto-rollback`minutes`	( optional) Used to start the rollback timer for the specified number of minutes. If not used, the software is automatically committed after installation. A value to zero means the rollback timer is never started and the software is not automatically committed (need to use 'software commit '). If set to another value, the 'software commit' command must be used to commit the software before the timer expires (else it will automatically rollback to the original software ).
on-reboot	(optional) Indicates that the user should not prompted to reload when the installation operation completes. The user must then use the reload command to boot the system with the newly installed packages.
provisioning-file`provisioning-file url`	(optional) Specifies the provisioning file to be updated by the installation. Default is the running provisioning file. Valid locations are flash: or usbflash0:
force	(optional) Specifies that the operation will be forced. Forced means that the installation will proceed despite any remote package incompatibilities. Force should not generally be required, and should be used with caution. Local package compatibility checks are enforced regardless of this command option.
new	(optional) Indicates that the post-install package set should contain only the packages being installed. Without this option, the post-install package set is a merged set of the currently installed software and the new packages being installed.
verbose	(optional) provides some additional info in the log files

Command Default

Command is used to install IOS XE software. No software will be installed by default.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
IOS XE 3.2.0 SE	Command introduced.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SE	This command was integrated.

Usage Guidelines

The software install file command is used to install package files from a software bundle when the system is running in installed mode. By default, the command will install software on all nodes in the system.

The following tasks are performed during the software install file operation.

- For a network installation, download the specified software bundle into memory on the active node (or standalone node is a standalone system).

- In a multi-node system, copy the software bundle to each node if the file does not already exist on the node. If installing a bundle that resides in local media on the active node (flash: or usbflash0:), the bundle file (.bin) is copied to the corresponding local device on each node. If installing a bundle via the network, the bundle is copied to memory on each node in the system.

- Expand the package files from the specified bundle into flash: on each node after verifying each package's digital signature

- Perform compatibility checks on all nodes in the system to ensure that the software running on all nodes after installation will be compatible. This task is skipped if the force command option is used.

- Start the auto-rollback timer if the auto-rollback command option was used. The newly installed packages will be automatically rolled back if the auto-rollback timer expires before the 'software commit' command is issued.

- Update the package provisioning file (packages.conf) and save a copy of the original provisioning file for use during auto-rollback or user-initiated rollback (software rollback command).

- Commit the newly installed software packages if the auto-rollback command option was not used.

- Prompt the user to reload (if the on-reboot command option was not used).

Note

The software install file command cannot be used if the system is running in bundle mode. In this case, the software expand command can be used to prepare the system to boot in installed mode.

Examples

The following example installs the cat3k_caa-universalk9.SSA.03.09.19.EMP.150-9.19.EMP.bin bundle from a tftp server. The bundle is first downloaded to RAM, then the package files included in the bundle are extracted and copied to flash:. The .bin file itself is not copied to flash:.

Note

You need IOSd IP connectivity to install via tftp .

Usage Guidelines

The software install source switch command is used to install the running package files from one stack member to one or more other stack members while the system is running in installed mode.

The following tasks are performed during the software install source switch operation.

- Copy the running software packages from flash: on the specified source switch to flash: on all other switches specified in the command.

- Perform compatibility checks on all switches in the stack to ensure that the software running on all stack members after installation will be compatible. This task is skipped if the force command option is used.

- Start the auto-rollback timer if the auto-rollback command option was used. The newly installed packages will be automatically rolled back if the auto-rollback timer expires before the software commit command is issued.

- Update the package provisioning file (packages.conf) and save a copy of the original provisioning file for use during auto-rollback or user-initiated rollback (software rollback command).

- Commit the newly installed software packages if the auto-rollback command option was not used.

- Prompt the user to reload (if the on-reboot command option was not used).

Note

The software install source switch command cannot be used if the system is running in bundle mode. In this case, the software expand command can be used to prepare the system to boot in installed mode.

Examples

In the following example, the switches in a 2-member stack are running different (but compatible) software packages. The software install source switch command is used to install the currently running packages on the standby switch (switch 1) to the active switch (switch 2).

software install file	Install Cisco IOS XE files.
software commit	Use this command to commit a package set that was installed using the auto-rollback command option of the software install command.
software expand	Use this command to expand individual IOS XE Software packages and the provisioning file from a specified bundle to a specific destination directory.
software rollback	Use this command to roll back the committed Cisco IOS XE Software to a previous installation point.

software install source switch

To install IOS XE Software objects from various sources, use the software install source switch command in Privileged EXEC mode.

software install source switch node [switch nodes] [auto-rollback minutes] [on-reboot] [provisioning-file provisioning-file url] [force] [verbose] [new]

Syntax Description


source switch `node`	Specifies which switch in the stack to use as the package source. Only a single switch may be specified and there is no default value.
switch `nodes`	(optional) Specifies which switch(es) should perform the install operation using '1,2,4' and/or '2-4' notation. Default is all switches in the stack.
auto-rollback `minutes`	( optional) Used to start the rollback timer for the specified number of minutes. If not used, the software is automatically committed after installation. A value to zero means the rollback timer is never started and the software is not automatically committed (need to use 'software commit '). If set to another value, the 'software commit' command must be used to commit the software before the timer expires (else it will automatically rollback to the original software ).
on-reboot	(optional) Indicates that the user should not prompted to reload when the installation operation completes. The user must then use the reload command to boot the system with the newly installed packages.
provisioning-file `provisioning-file url`	(optional) Specifies the provisioning file to be updated by the installation. Default is the running provisioning file. Valid locations are flash: or usbflash0:
force	(optional) Specifies that the operation will be forced. Forced means that the installation will proceed despite any remote package incompatibilities. Force should not generally be required, and should be used with caution. Local package compatibility checks are enforced regardless of this command option.
new	(optional) Indicates that the post-install package set should contain only the packages being installed. Without this option, the post-install package set is a merged set of the currently installed software and the new packages being installed.
verbose	(optional) provides some additional info in the log files

Command Default

Command is used to install IOS XE software. No software will be installed by default.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
IOS XE 3.2.0 SE	Command introduced.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SE	This command was integrated.

Usage Guidelines

If the package option is not specified, it means operate on (ie. upgrade) the currently provisioned packages using all of the packages from the input. If one or more package names are specified, they act as a filter on the input file set, limiting the upgrade to the given packages.

If one or more switch keywords are not specified, to identify destination node(s), then 'all' nodes are assumed as the destination.

If the on-reboot option is not specified, then the software install file command will do everything that the platform requires to make the specified packages "run", ie. to commit and activate them. This typically involves a system reload.

A new set of packages installed together succeed or fail together. Any one failure, on any node, fails the entire installation. As an example, using the "one-button" install (one single command to perform the upgrade):

software install file
<bundle-url>

Where the bundle contains 3 packages. The 3 packages will be expanded on to the box, on each node (in a multimode system). A new candidate packages.conf will be created with the 3 new packages added/changed (on each node). The packages in the new candidate packages.conf will be checked for compatibility. Then they will be activated together, on each node, in parallel.

If there is a failure at any point, or if the rollback timer is let to expire, the system will be rolled back to the state before the install command was issued.

Examples

To take advantage of the created source list, in exec mode use this command:


        
software install source
list <list-name>  [package <package-name-or-wildcard>] [switch <node>]
 [auto-rollback <minutes>] [force] [on-reboot] [verbose] [new]

All of the same options as for the 'software source url' command apply (as above).

Using the previous example, the installation command to install all of the packages using the above named list would be:

software install source list my-list-123

with any options, as required. This is equivalent to entering:

software install source list my-list-123 package *

The default argument for 'package' is therefore '*' (for the software install source list command). As another example, to install all "wcm" packages from the same list:

software install source list my-list-123 package *wcm*

Command	Description
software install file	Install Cisco IOS XE files.

software provision

To organize IOS XE Software packages from an input bundle(s) or a list onto a flash device for later activation, use the software provision command in Privileged EXEC mode.

software provision source {urlbundle or package url | listlist-name} [packagepackage name or wildcard] [switchnode] [force] [verbose]

Syntax Description

listlist-name

Specify an ordered list of input bundles of directories to provision.

packagepackage name or wildcard

Specify the package filenames to be provisioned.

bundle or package url

Specify a bundle or package(s) to be installed. A wildcard may be used to specify the input, but only one bundle is accepted (as the end result of the wildcard operation). By contrast, more than one package file will be accepted as the result of a wildcard operation.

switch

Indicates a particular node, an independent instance running Nova, to which the operation will be performed.

force

Specifies that the operation will proceed despite any remote package incompatibilities, without interacting with the user.

Note

Force should not generally be required for upgrades, and should be used with caution. Local package compatibilities are always enforced.

verbose

Displays all output that can be displayed on the console during the operation.

Command Default

No software will be provisioned by default.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
IOS XE 3.2.0 SE	Command introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The software provision command does not activate nor commit any copied packages. This provisioning command effectively builds up a list of packages into a candidate packages.conf file, which forms the input for the software activate command.

The software provision command may be run multiple times in order to "build up" a desired set of packages for upgrade. The package set is built up into an internal candidate packages.conf file, and the packages become "installed pending activation".

software rollback

To roll back the committed Cisco IOS XE Software to a previous installation point, use the software rollback command in Privileged EXEC mode.

software rollback [switchnode] [as-booted] [provisioning-fileprovisioning-file url] [on-reboot] [force] [verbose]

Syntax Description


switch`nodes`	(optional) specifies which switch(es) should perform the rollback operation using '1,2,4' and/or '2-4' notation. Default is all switches in the stack
as-booted	(optional) Used to rollback any installations that have occurred since bootup and commit the booted packages.conf file.
provisioning-file`provisioning-file url`	(optional) Specifies the provisioning file to be updated by the rollback. Default is the running provisioning file. Valid locations are flash: or usbflash0:
on-reboot	(optional) Indicates that the user should not prompted to reload when the rollback operation completes. The user must then use the reload command to boot the system with the newly installed packages.
force	(optional) Specifies that the operation will be forced. Forced means that the rollback will proceed despite any remote package incompatibilities. Force should not generally be required, and should be used with caution. Local package compatibility checks are enforced regardless of this command option.
verbose	(optional) provides some additional info in the log files

Command Default

No software will be rolled-back by default.

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
IOS XE 3.2.0 SE	Command introduced.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3.SE	This command was integrated.

Usage Guidelines

The software rollback command rolls back the committed software, ie. set of packages, to a previous installation point.

The software rollback functionality relies on the existence of one or more rollback provisioning files in flash:, along with all of the .pkg files listed in the rollback provisioning file(s).

The rollback provisioning files are visible in flash: as packages.conf.00-, packages.conf.01-, etc.

- packages.conf.00- is a snapshot of the packages.conf file as it looked prior to the last installation operation.

- packages.conf.01- is a snapshot of the packages.conf file as it looked two installations ago. (This pattern continues for all provisioning files.)

When the software rollback command is used, packages.conf.00- becomes packages.conf, packages.conf.01- becomes packages.conf.00-, etc.

Note

If the software clean command is used, future attempts to do a software rollback will fail if the rollback provisioning file and/or the packages listed in it have been cleaned.

Examples

This example uses the 'software rollback' command to revert to the previously installed package set ( packages.conf.00 -).

Syntax Description


`list-name-string`	Name of the list or string.

Command Default

No source list exists.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification

Usage Guidelines

If it happens that using either the software install file command or the software install source commands result in an error due to too many characters on the command line, you can create a list of input bundles or directories using the software source list command.

The available configured lists may then be verified using the show running config command, which also displays the contents of the lists. The pool of packages defined by a list can be displayed with the show software source list list-name command.

Examples

To creat a source list named "my-list-123" perform the following


        (config)software source list my-list-123
  (config-source-list)tftp://my-big-bundle.bin
  (config-source-list)bootflash:/packages1
  (config-source-list)end

This effectively creates a pool of packages from which to find ("source"), a package. It creates an ordered search list for Installer to find a given package. For example, a requested package will first be looked for in the bundle file 'tftp://my-big-bundle.bin'. If not found, the requested package will then be looked for in the directory . Naturally, packages would have had to have been previously 'expanded' into the directory 'bootflash:/packages1' by the user to make them available for use in this manner.

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

When flash memory is full, you might need to rearrange the files so that the space used by the files marked “deleted” can be reclaimed. (This “squeeze” process is required for linear flash memory cards to make sectors contiguous; the free memory must be in a “block” to be usable.)

When you enter the squeeze command, the router copies all valid files to the beginning of flash memory and erases all files marked “deleted.” After the squeeze process is completed, you can write to the reclaimed flash memory space.

Caution

After performing the squeeze process, you cannot recover deleted files using the undelete EXEC mode command.

In addition to removing deleted files, use the squeeze command to remove any files that the system has marked as “error”. An error file is created when a file write fails (for example, the device is full). To remove error files, you must use the squeeze command.

Rewriting flash memory space during the squeeze operation may take several minutes.

Using the /nolog keyword disables the log for the squeeze process. In most cases, this process will speed up the squeeze process. However, if power is lost or the flash card is removed during the squeeze process, all the data on the flash card will be lost, and the device will have to be reformatted.

Note

Using the /nolog keyword makes the squeeze process uninterruptible.

Using the /quiet keyword disables the output of status messages to the console during the squeeze process.

If the optional keywords are not used, the progress of the squeeze process will be displayed to the console, a log for the process will be maintained, and the squeeze process is interruptible.

On Cisco 2600 or Cisco 3600 series routers, the entire file system has to be erased once before the squeeze command can be used. After being erased once, the squeeze command should operate properly on the flash file system for the rest of the flash file system’s history.

To erase an entire flash file system on a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router, perform the following steps:

If the flash file system has multiple partitions, enter the no partition command to remove the partitions. The reason for removing partitions is to ensure that the entire flash file system is erased. The squeeze command can be used in a flash file system with partitions after the flash file system is erased once.
Enter the erase command to erase the flash file system.

Examples

In the following example, the file named config1 is deleted, and then the squeeze command is used to reclaim the space used by that file. The /nolog option is used to speed up the squeeze process.


Router# delete config1
 
Delete filename [config1]?
Delete slot0:conf? [confirm]
Router# dir slot0:
 
! Note that the deleted file name appears in square brackets

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Using the stack-mib command to set a name string to a port corresponds to the portName MIB object in the portTable of CISCO-STACK-MIB. portName is the MIB object in the portTable of CISCO-STACK-MIB. You can set this object to be descriptive text describing the function of the interface.

Examples

This example shows how to set a name to a port:


Router(config-if)# 
stack-mib portname portall
Router(config-if)#

state-machine

To specify the transition criteria for the state of a particular state machine, use the state-machine command in global configuration mode . To remove a particular state machine from the configuration, use the no form of this command.

state-machine name state first-character last-character [next-state delay | transmit]

no state-machine name

Syntax Description


`name`	Name for the state machine (used in the dispatch-machine line configuration command). The user can specify any number of state machines, but each line can have only one state machine associated with it.
`state`	State being modified. There are a maximum of eight states per state machine. The range is from 0 to 7. Lines are initialized to state 0 and return to state 0 after a packet is transmitted.
`first-character` `last-character`	A range of characters. Use ASCII numerical values. The range is from 0 to 255. If the state machine is in the indicated state, and the next character input is within this range, the process goes to the specified next state. Full 8-bit character comparisons are performed, so the maximum value is 255. Ensure that the line is configured to strip parity bits (or not generate them), or duplicate the low characters in the upper half of the space.
`next-state`	(Optional) State to enter if the character is in the specified range. The range is from 0 to 7.
delay	(Optional) Transmits the packet if there is no input within 50 milliseconds.
transmit	(Optional) Causes the packet to be transmitted and the state machine to be reset to state 0. Recurring characters that have not been explicitly defined to have a particular action return the state machine to state 0.

Command Default

No transition criteria are specified.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
15.0(1)M	This command was modified in a release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M. The delay keyword was added.

Usage Guidelines

This command is paired with the dispatch-machine line configuration command, which defines the line on which the state machine is effective.

Examples

In the following example a dispatch machine named “function” is configured to ensure that the function key characters on an ANSI terminal are kept in one packet. Because the default in the example is to remain in state 0 without sending anything, normal key signals are sent immediately.


Router(config)# line 1 20
Router(config-line)# dispatch-machine function
Router(config-line)# exit
Router(config)# state-machine function 0 0 255 6 transmit

12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

You can enter this command on switch ports and router ports.

Enter the storm-control level command to enable traffic storm control on the interface, configure the traffic storm-control level, and apply the traffic storm-control level to all traffic storm-control modes that are enabled on the interface.

Only one suppression level is shared by all three suppression modes. For example, if you set the broadcast level to 30 and set the multicast level to 40, both levels are enabled and set to 40.

The Cisco 7600 series router supports storm control for multicast and unicast traffic only on Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. The switch supports storm control for broadcast traffic on all LAN ports.

The multicast and unicast keywords are supported on Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports only. These keywords are not supported on 10 Mbps, 10/100 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules.

The period is required when you enter the fractional-suppression level.

The suppression level is entered as a percentage of the total bandwidth. A threshold value of 100 percent means that no limit is placed on traffic. A threshold value of 0 or 0.0 (fractional) percent means that all specified traffic is blocked on a port, with the following guidelines:

A fractional level value of 0.33 or lower is the same as 0.0 on the following modules:
- WS-X6704-10GE
- WS-X6748-SFP
- WS-X6724-SFP
- WS-X6748-GE-TX
A fractional level value of 0.29 or lower is the same as 0.0 on the WS-X6716-10G-3C / 3CXL in Oversubscription Mode.
Enter 0 on all other modules to block all specified traffic on a port.

Enter the show interfaces counters broadcast command to display the discard count.

Enter the show running-config command to display the enabled suppression mode and level setting.

To turn off suppression for the specified traffic type, you can do one of the following:

Set the level to 100 percent for the specified traffic type.
Use the no form of this command.

Examples

This example shows how to enable and set the suppression level:


Router(config-if)# 
storm-control broadcast level 30

This example shows how to disable the suppression mode:


Router(config-if)# 
no storm-control multicast level

system jumbomtu

To set the maximum size of the Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets, use the system jumbo mtu command in global configuration mode. To revert to the default MTU setting, use the no form of this command.

system jumbomtu mtu-size

no system jumbomtu

Syntax Description


mtu-size	Maximum size of the Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet s; valid values are from 1500 to 9216 bytes.

Command Default

mtu-size is 9216 bytes.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
1.2(14)SX	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(17d)SXB	Support for this command on the Supervisor Engine 2 was extended to Release 12.2(17d)SXB.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

The mtu-size parameter specifies the Ethernet packet size, not the total Ethernet frame size. The Layer 3 MTU is changed as a result of entering the system jumbo mtu command.

The system jumbo mtu command enables the global MTU for port ASICs. On a port ASIC after jumbo frames are enabled, the port ASIC accepts any size packet on the ingress side and checks the outgoing packets on the egress side. The packets on the egress side that exceed the global MTU are dropped by the port ASIC.

For example, if you have port A in VLAN 1 and Port B in VLAN 2, and if VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 are configured for mtu 9216 and you enter the system jumbomtu 4000 command, the packets that are larger than 4000 bytes are not transmitted out because Ports B and A drop anything larger than 4000 bytes.

Examples

This example shows how to set the global MTU size to 1550 bytes:


Router(config)# system jumbomtu 1550

This example shows how to revert to the default MTU setting:


Router(config)# no system jumbomtu

Related Commands


Command	Description
mtu	Adjusts the maximum packet size or MTU size.
show interfaces	Displays traffic that is seen by a specific interface.
show system jumbomtu	Displays the g lobal MTU setting.

tdm clock priority

To configure the clock source and priority of the clock source used by the time-division multiplexing (TDM) bus on the Cisco AS5350, AS5400, and AS5850 access servers, use the tdm clock priority command in global configuration mode. To return the clock source and priority to the default values, use the no form of this command.

tdm clock priority priority-number {slot/ds1-port | slot/ds3-port:ds1-port | external | freerun}

no tdm clock priority priority-number {slot/ds1-port | slot/ds3-port:ds1-port | external | freerun}

Syntax Description


`priority-number`	Priority of the clock source. The priority range is from 1 to 99. A clock set to priority 100 will not drive the TDM bus.
`slot` / `ds1-port`	Trunk-card slot is a value from 1 to 7. DS1 port number controller is a value between 0 and 7. Specify with a slash separating the numbers; for example, 1/1.
`slot` / `ds3-port` : `ds1-port`	Trunk-card slot is a value from 1 to 7. DS3 port specifies the T3 port. DS1 port number controller is a value from 1 to 28. Specify with a slash separating the slot and port numbers, and a colon separating the DS1 port number. An example is 1/0:19.
external	Synchronizes the TDM bus with an external clock source that can be used as an additional network reference.
freerun	Selects the free-running clock from the local oscillator when there is no good clocking source from a trunk card or an external clock source.

Command Default

If no clocks are configured, the system uses a default, primary clock. An external clock is never selected by default; it must be explicitly configured.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.2(8)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

The TDM bus can receive an input clock from one of three sources on the gateway:

CT1, CE1, and CT3 trunk cards
An external T1/E1 clock source feed directly through the Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) interface port on the motherboard
Free-running clock providing clock from an oscillator

Note

BITS is a single building primary timing supply. BITS generally supplies DS1- and DS0-level timing throughout an office. BITS is the clocks that provide and distribute timing to a wireline network’s lower levels.

Trunk-Card Ports

The TDM bus can be synchronized with any trunk cards. On the CT1/CE1 trunk card, each port receives the clock from the T1/E1 line. The CT3 trunk card uses an M13 multiplexer to receive the DS1 clock. Each port on each trunk-card slot has a default clock priority. Also, clock priority is configurable through the tdm clock priority command.

External Clock

The TDM bus can be synchronized with an external clock source that can be used as an additional network reference. If no clocks are configured, the system uses a primary clock through a software-controlled default algorithm. If you want the external T1/E1 clock (from the BITS interface) as the primary clock source, you must configure it using the external keyword with the tdm clock priority command; the external clock is never selected by default.

The BITS interface requires a T1 line composite clock reference set at 1.544 MHz and an E1 line composite clock reference set at 2.048 MHz.

Free-Running Clock

If there is no good clocking source from a trunk card or an external clock source, then select the free-running clock from the internal oscillator using the freerun keyword with the tdm clock priority command.

Examples

In the following example, BITS clock is set at priority 1:


AS5400(config)# tdm clock priority priority 1 external

In the following example, a trunk clock from a CT1 trunk card is set at priority 2 and uses slot 4 and DS1 port (controller) 6:


AS5400(config)# tdm clock priority priority 2 4/6

In the following example, a trunk clock from a CT3 trunk card is set at priority 2 and uses slot 1, DS3 port 0, and DS1 port 19:


AS5400(config)# tdm clock priority priority 2 1/0:19

In the following example, free-running clock is set at priority 3:


AS5400(config)# tdm clock priority priority 3 freerun

Related Commands


Command	Description
dial-tdm-clock	Configures the clock source and priority of the clock source used by the TDM bus on the dial shelf of the Cisco AS5800.

terminal databits

To change the number of data bits per character for the current terminal line for this session, use the terminal databits command in EXEC mode.

terminal databits {5 | 6 | 7 | 8}

Syntax Description


5	Five data bits per character.
6	Six data bits per character.
7	Seven data bits per character.
8	Eight data bits per character. This is the default.

Command Default

8 data bits per character

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Communication protocols provided by devices such as terminals and modems often require a specific data bit setting. The terminal databits command can be used to mask the high bit on input from devices that generate 7 data bits with parity. If parity is being generated, specify 7 data bits per character. If no parity generation is in effect, specify 8 data bits per character. The other keywords (5 and 6 ) are supplied for compatibility with older devices and are generally not used.

Examples

In the following example, the databits per character is changed to seven for the current session:


Router# terminal databits 7

Related Commands


Command	Description
databits	Sets the number of data bits per character that are interpreted and generated by the router hardware.
terminal parity	Defines the generation of the parity bit for the current terminal line and session.

terminal data-character-bits

To set the number of data bits per character that are interpreted and generated by the Cisco IOS software for the current line and session, use the terminal data-character-bits command in EXEC mode.

terminal data-character-bits {7 | 8}

Syntax Description


7	Seven data bits per character.
8	Eight data bits. This is the default.

Command Default

8 data bits per character

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used primarily to strip parity from X.25 connections on routers with the protocol translation software option. The terminal data-character-bits command does not work on hard-wired lines.

Examples

The following example sets the data bits per character to seven on the current line:


Router# terminal data-character-bits 7

Related Commands


Command	Description
data-character-bits	Sets the number of data bits per character that are interpreted and generated by the Cisco IOS software.

terminal dispatch-character

To define a character that causes a packet to be sent for the current session, use the terminal dispatch-character command in EXEC mode.

terminal dispatch-character ascii-number [ascii-number2...]

Syntax Description


`ascii-number`	The ASCII decimal representation of the character, such as Return (ASCII character 13) for line-at-a-time transmissions.
`ascii-number2...`	(Optional) Additional decimal representations of characters. This syntax indicates that you can define any number of characters as dispatch characters.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

At times, you might want to queue up a string of characters until they fill a complete packet and then transmit the packet to a remote host. This can make more efficient use of a line, because the access server or router normally dispatches each character as it is entered.

Examples

The following example defines the characters Ctrl-D (ASCII decimal character 4) and Ctrl-Y (ASCII decimal character 25) as the dispatch characters:


Router# terminal dispatch-character 4 25

Related Commands


Command	Description
dispatch-character	Defines a character that causes a packet to be sent.

terminal dispatch-timeout

To set the character dispatch timer for the current terminal line for the current session, use the terminal dispatch-timeout command in EXEC mode.

terminal dispatch-timeout milliseconds

Syntax Description


`milliseconds`	Integer that specifies the number of milliseconds that the router waits after it puts the first character into a packet buffer before sending the packet. During this interval, more characters can be added to the packet, which increases the processing efficiency of the remote host.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to increase the processing efficiency of the remote host.

The dispatch-timeout line configuration command causes the software to buffer characters into packets for transmission to the remote host. The Cisco IOS software sends a packet a specified amount of time after the first character is put into the buffer. You can use the terminal dispatch-timeout and terminal dispatch-character line configuration commands together. In this case, the software dispatches a packet each time the dispatch character is entered, or after the specified dispatch timeout interval, depending on which condition is met first.

Note

The router response time might appear intermittent if the timeout interval is greater than 100 milliseconds and remote echoing is used.

Examples

In the following example, the dispatch timeout timer is set to 80 milliseconds:


Router# terminal dispatch-timeout 80

Related Commands


Command	Description
dispatch-timeout	Sets the character dispatch timer for a specified line or group of lines.

terminal download

To temporarily set the ability of a line to act as a transparent pipe for file transfers for the current session, use the terminal download command in EXEC mode.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

You can use this feature to run a program such as KERMIT, XMODEM, or CrossTalk that downloads a file across an access server or router line. This command configures the terminal line to send data and is equivalent to entering all the following commands:

terminal telnet transparent
terminal no escape-character (see terminal escape-character )
terminal no hold-character (see terminal hold-character )
terminal no padding 0 (see terminal padding )
terminal no padding 128 (see terminal padding )
terminal parity none
terminal databits 8

Examples

The following example configures a line to act as a transparent pipe:


Router# terminal download

terminal editing

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This command is identical to the editing EXEC mode command, except that it controls (enables or disables) enhanced editing for only the terminal session you are using. For a description of the available editing keys, see the description of the editing command in this document.

Examples

In the following example, enhanced editing mode is reenabled for only the current terminal session:


Router> terminal editing

Related Commands


Command	Description

terminal escape-character

To set the escape character for the current terminal line for the current session, use the terminal escape-character command in EXEC mode.

terminal escape-character ascii-number

Syntax Description


`ascii-number`	ASCII decimal representation of the escape character or control sequence (for example, Ctrl-P ).

Command Default

Ctrl-^ (Ctrl-Shift-6)

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

See the "ASCII Character Set and Hexidecimal Values" appendix for a list of ASCII characters and their numerical representation.

This command is useful, for example, if you have the default escape character defined for a different purpose in your keyboard file. Entering the escape character followed by the X key returns you to EXEC mode when you are connected to another computer.

Note

The Break key generally cannot be used as an escape character on the console terminal because the operating software interprets the Break command on a console line as an instruction to halt the system.

Examples

In the following example, the escape character to Ctrl-P (ASCII decimal character 16) for the current session:


Router# terminal escape-character 16

Related Commands


Command	Description
escape-character	Defines a system escape character.

terminal exec-character-bits

To locally change the ASCII character set used in EXEC and configuration command characters for the current session, use the terminal exec-character-bits command in EXEC mode.

terminal exec-character-bits {7 | 8}

Syntax Description


7	Selects the 7-bit ASCII character set. This is the default.
8	Selects the full 8-bit character set .

Command Default

7-bit ASCII character set (unless set otherwise in global configuration mode)

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This EXEC command overrides the default-value exec-character-bits global configuration command. Configuring the EXEC character width to 8 bits enables you to view special graphical and international characters in banners, prompts, and so on.

When the user exits the session, the character width is reset to the default value established by the exec-character-bits global configuration command. However, setting the EXEC character width to 8 bits can also cause failures. For example, if a user on a terminal that is sending parity enters the help command, an “unrecognized command” message appears because the system is reading all 8 bits, and the eighth bit is not needed for the help command.

Examples

The following example temporarily configures the system to use a full 8-bit user interface for system banners and prompts, allowing the use of additional graphical and international characters:


Router# terminal exec-character-bits 8

Related Commands


Command	Description
exec-character-bits	Configures the character widths of EXEC and configuration command characters.

terminal flowcontrol

To set flow control for the current terminal line for the current session, use the terminal flowcontrol command in EXEC mode.

terminal flowcontrol {none | software [in | out] | hardware}

Syntax Description


none	Prevents flow control.
software	Sets software flow control.
in \| out	(Optional) Specifies the direction of flow control: in causes the router to listen to flow control from the attached device, and out causes the router to send flow control information to the attached device. If you do not specify a direction, both directions are assumed.
hardware	Sets hardware flow control. For information about setting up the EIA/TIA-232 line, see the manual that was shipped with your product.

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Flow control enables you to regulate the rate at which data can be transmitted from one point so that it is equal to the rate at which it can be received at another point. Flow control protects against loss of data because the terminal is not capable of receiving data at the rate it is being sent. You can set up data flow control for the current terminal line in one of two ways: software flow control, which you do with control key sequences, and hardware flow control, which you do at the device level.

For software flow control, the default stop and start characters are Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q (XOFF and XON). You can change them with the terminal stop-character and terminal start-character EXEC commands.

Examples

In the following example, incoming software flow control is set for the current session:


Router# terminal flowcontrol software in

Related Commands


Command	Description
flowcontrol	Sets the method of data flow control between the terminal or other serial device and the router.

terminal full-help

Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

The history feature provides a record of commands you have entered. This feature is particularly useful for recalling long or complex commands or entries for the purposes of modifying them slightly and reissuing them.

The terminal history size command enables the command history feature and sets the command history buffer size. The terminal no history size command resets the buffer size to the default of 10 command lines.

The following table lists the keys and functions you can use to recall commands from the history buffer. When you use these keys, the commands recalled will be from EXEC mode if you are in EXEC mode, or from all configuration modes if you are in any configuration mode.

Table 2. History Keys
Key	Function
Ctrl-P or Up Arrow²	Recalls commands in the history buffer in a backward sequence, beginning with the most recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively older commands.
Ctrl-N or Down Arrow1	Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling commands with Ctrl-P or the Up Arrow. Repeat the key sequence to recall successively more recent commands.

² The arrow keys function only with ANSI-compatible terminals.

In EXEC mode, you can also use the show history command to show the contents of the command history buffer.

To check the current settings for the command history feature on your line, use the show line command.

Examples

In the following example, the number of command lines recorded is set to 15 for the current terminal session. The user then checks to see what line he/she is connected to using the show users command. The user uses this line information to issue the show line command. (In this example, the user uses the show begin option in the show line command to start the output at the “Editing is enabled/disabled” line.)


Router# terminal history size 15
Router# show users
    Line       User       Host(s)              Idle       Location

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1	This command was introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, and became available in diagnostic mode.

Usage Guidelines

The system uses the length value to determine when to pause during multiple-screen output. A value of zero prevents the router from pausing between screens of output.

Some types of terminal sessions do not require you to specify the screen length because the screen length specified can be learned by some remote hosts. For example, the rlogin protocol uses the screen length to set up terminal parameters on a remote UNIX host.

Examples

In the following example, the system is configured to prevent output from pausing if it exceeds the length of the screen:


Router# terminal length 0

Related Commands


Command	Description
length	Sets the terminal screen length.

terminal special-character-bits

To change the ASCII character widths to accept special characters for the current terminal line and session, use the terminal special-character-bits command in EXEC mode.

terminal special-character-bits 7 | 8

Syntax Description


7	Selects the 7-bit ASCII character set. This is the default.
8	Selects the full 8-bit ASCII character set.

Command Default

7-bit ASCII character set

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Configuring the width to 8 bits enables you to use twice as many special characters as with the 7-bit setting. This selection enables you to add special graphical and international characters in banners, prompts, and so on.

This command is useful, for example, if you want the router to provide temporary support for international character sets. It overrides the default-value special-character-bits global configuration command and is used to compare character sets typed by the user with the special character available during a data connection, which includes software flow control and escape characters.

When you exit the session, character width is reset to the width established by the default-value exec-character-bits global configuration command.

Note that setting the EXEC character width to eight bits can cause failures. For example, if a user on a terminal that is sending parity enters the help command, an “unrecognized command” message appears because the Cisco IOS software is reading all eight bits, and the eighth bit is not needed for the help command.

Examples

The following example temporarily configures a router to use a full 8-bit user interface for system banners and prompts.


Router# terminal special-character-bits 8

Related Commands


Command	Description
default-value exec-character-bits	Globally defines the character width as 7-bit or 8-bit.
special-character-bits	Configures the number of data bits per character for special characters such as software flow control characters and escape characters.

terminal speed

To set the transmit and receive speeds of the current terminal line for the current session, use the terminal speed command in EXEC mode.

terminal telnet break-on-ip

To cause an access server to generate a hardware Break signal when an interrupt-process (ip) command is received, use the terminal telnet break-on-ip command in EXEC mode.

terminal telnet break-on-ip

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Disabled

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

The hardware Break signal occurs when a Telnet interrupt-process (ip) command is received on that connection. The terminal telnet break-on-ip command can be used to control the translation of Telnet interrupt-process commands into X.25 Break indications.

Note

In this command, the acronym “ip” indicates “interrupt-process,” not Internet Protocol (IP).

This command is also a useful workaround in the following situations:

Several user Telnet programs send an ip command, but cannot send a Telnet Break signal.
Some Telnet programs implement a Break signal that sends an ip command.

Some EIA/TIA-232 hardware devices use a hardware Break signal for various purposes. A hardware Break signal is generated when a Telnet Break command is received.

You can verify if this command is enabled with the show terminal EXEC command. If enabled the following line will appear in the output: Capabilities: Send BREAK on IP .

Examples

In the following example, a Break signal is generated for the current connection when an interrupt-process command is issued:


Router# terminal telnet break-on-ip

Related Commands


Command	Description
terminal telnet ip-on-break	Configures the system to send an interrupt-process (ip) signal when the Break command is issued.

Examples

In the following example, the current session is configured to refuse full-duplex, remote echo requests:


Router# terminal telnet refuse-negotiations

terminal telnet speed

To allow an access server to negotiate transmission speed for the current terminal line and session, use the terminal telnet speed command in EXEC mode.

terminal telnet speed default-speed maximum-speed

Syntax Description


`default-speed`	Line speed, in bits per second (bps), that the access server will use if the device on the other end of the connection has not specified a speed.
`maximum-speed`	Maximum line speed in bits per second (bps), that the device on the other end of the connection can use.

Command Default

9600 bps (unless otherwise set using the speed , txspeed or rxspeed line configuration commands)

Command Modes

EXEC

Command History


Release	Modification
10.0	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

You can match line speeds on remote systems in reverse Telnet, on host machines connected to an access server to access the network, or on a group of console lines connected to the access server when disparate line speeds are in use at the local and remote ends of the connections listed above. Line speed negotiation adheres to the Remote Flow Control option, defined in RFC 1080.

Note

This command applies only to access servers. It is not supported on standalone routers.

Examples

The following example enables the access server to negotiate a bit rate on the line using the Telnet option. If no speed is negotiated, the line will run at 2400 bps. If the remote host requests a speed greater than 9600 bps, then 9600 bps will be used.


Router# terminal telnet speed 2400 9600
