Set port name

Set port name mod_num/port_num [name_string]

Set port priority

Set port level mod_num/port_num noramal | high

Set port Rate

Set port speed mod_num/port_num <10 | 100 | auto>

Set the port transfer type

Set port duplex mod_num/port_num full | half

Check port configuration status

Show port mod_num/port_num

2. network port sc0 settings

Set the logical port sc0 for physical connection in the VLAN

Set interface sc0 vlan_num [ip_address [netmask [broadcast]

3. VLAN settings　

Defines the serial number, name, and type of a VLAN.

Check the relay configuration status

Show trunk

5. spantree settings

Set the spantree in a vlan

Set spantree enable [vlan]
Set the bridging forwarding latency in a vlan

Set spantree fwddelay delay [vlan]

Set the hello message sending interval in a vlan

Set spantree hello interval [vlan]

Sets the maximum duration of a vlan connection.

Set spantree maxage agingtime [vlan]

Set the bridge path cost for a port

Set spantree portcost mod_num/port_num cost

6. SNMP Protocol Configuration

Configure the SNMP domain string:

Set snmp community read-only | read-write-all community_string

Set a restricted address or domain:

Set snmp trap rcvr_address rcvr_community

10 Configuration of layer-3 Switch Module　

Telnet ip_address to the layer-3 Switch module.

Rsm> enable

Rsm # show run displays the current configuration file

Rsm # show int vlan id Display vlan status

Rsm # show ip route display route information
