Ethernet interface commands

Commands in this chapter are supported only when the device has related interfaces. For the interfaces that the device has, see the installation guide and interface module manuals.

Common Ethernet interface commands

bandwidth

Use bandwidth to set the expected bandwidth of an interface.

Use undo bandwidth to restore the default.

Syntax

bandwidth bandwidth-value

undo bandwidth

Default

The expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by 1000.

Views

network-admin

Parameters

bandwidth-value: Specifies the expected bandwidth in the range of 1 to 400000000 kbps.

Usage guidelines

The expected bandwidth is an informational parameter used only by higher-layer protocols for calculation. You cannot adjust the actual bandwidth of an interface by using this command.

Examples

# Set the expected bandwidth of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to 1000 kbps.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] bandwidth 1000

# Set the expected bandwidth of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.1 to 1000 kbps.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1.1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1.1] bandwidth 1000

speed

combo enable

Use combo enable to activate the copper or fiber combo port of a combo interface.

Syntax

combo enable { copper | fiber }

Default

The copper combo port of a combo interface is activated.

network-admin

Parameters

copper: Activates the copper combo port. In this case, use twisted pairs to connect the port.

fiber: Activates the fiber combo port. In this case, use optical fibers to connect the port.

Usage guidelines

‌A combo interface is a logical interface that physically contains one fiber combo port and one copper combo port on the device panel. The two ports share one forwarding interface. As a result, they cannot work simultaneously. When you activate either port, the other port is automatically disabled. You can select to activate the copper combo port or fiber combo port.

Before using this command, perform the following tasks according to the marks on the device panel:

· Determine the combo interfaces on your device.

· Identify the two physical interfaces that belong to each combo interface.

Examples

# Activate the copper combo port of combo interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] combo enable copper

# Activate the fiber combo port of combo interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

dampening

Use dampening to enable the device to dampen an interface when the interface is flapping.

Use undo dampening to restore the default.

Syntax

dampening [ half-life reuse suppress max-suppress-time ]

undo dampening

Default

Interface dampening is disabled on Ethernet interfaces.

Views

Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

half-life: Specifies the amount of time after which a penalty is decreased, in the range of 1 to 120 seconds. The default value is 54 seconds.

reuse: Specifies the reuse threshold in the range of 200 to 20000. The default value is 750. The reuse threshold must be less than the suppression threshold.

suppress: Specifies the suppression threshold in the range of 200 to 20000. The default value is 2000.

max-suppress-time: Specifies the maximum amount of time the interface can be dampened, in the range of 1 to 255 seconds. The default value is 162 seconds (three times the half-life timer).

Usage guidelines

When configuring the dampening command, follow these rules to set the values mentioned above:

· The ceiling is equal to 2 (Max-suppress-time/Decay) × reuse-limits. It is not user configurable.

· The configured suppress limit is lower than or equal to the ceiling.

· The ceiling is lower than or equal to the maximum suppress limit supported.

This command does not take effect on the administratively down events. When you execute the shutdown command, the penalty restores to 0, and the interface reports the down event to the higher layer protocols.

Do not enable the dampening function on an interface with spanning tree protocols enabled.

After an interface in down state is dampened, the interface state displayed through the display interface command, MIB, or Web is always down.

Examples

# Enable interface dampening on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] dampening

# Enable interface dampening on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, and set the following parameters:

· Half life time to 2 seconds.

· Reuse value to 800.

· Suppression threshold to 3000.

· Maximum suppression interval to 5 seconds.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION:

The default command might interrupt ongoing network services. Make sure you are fully aware of the impacts of this command when you use it in a live network.

‌

This command might fail to restore the default settings for some commands because of command dependencies or system restrictions. You can use the display this command in interface view to identify these commands, and use their undo forms or follow the command reference to restore their default settings. If your restoration attempt still fails, follow the error message instructions to solve the problem.

flow-control

Use flow-control to enable TxRx-mode generic flow control on an Ethernet interface.

Use undo flow-control to disable TxRx-mode generic flow control on the Ethernet interface.

Syntax

flow-control

Default

TxRx-mode generic flow control is disabled on an Ethernet interface.

Views

Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

With TxRx-mode generic flow control configured, an interface can both send and receive flow control frames:

· When congested, the interface sends a flow control frame to its peer.

· Upon receiving a flow control frame from the peer, the interface suspends sending packets.

To implement flow control on a link, enable generic flow control at both ends of the link.

Examples

# Enable TxRx-mode generic flow control on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] flow-control

flow-control receive enable

Use flow-control receive enable to enable Rx-mode generic flow control on an Ethernet port.

Use undo flow-control to disable Rx-mode generic flow control on an Ethernet port.

Syntax

flow-control receive enable

undo flow-control

Default

Rx-mode generic flow control is disabled on Ethernet interfaces.

Views

Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

With Rx-mode flow control enabled, an interface can receive but cannot send flow control frames.

· When the interface receives a flow control frame from its peer, it suspends sending packets to the peer.

· When traffic congestion occurs on the interface, it cannot send flow control frames to the peer.

To handle unidirectional traffic congestion on a link, configure the flow-control receive enable command at one end, and the flow-control command at the other. To enable both ends of the link to handle traffic congestion, configure the flow-control command at both ends.

Examples

# Enable Rx-mode generic flow control on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

broadcast-suppression

Use broadcast-suppression to enable broadcast suppression and set the broadcast suppression threshold.

Use undo broadcast-suppression to disable broadcast suppression.

Syntax

broadcast-suppression { ratio | pps max-pps }

undo broadcast-suppression

Default

Ethernet interfaces do not suppress broadcast traffic.

Views

Layer 2 Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ratio: Sets the broadcast suppression threshold as a percentage of the interface bandwidth. The value range for this argument is 1 to 100. A smaller value means that less broadcast traffic is allowed to pass through.

pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of broadcast packets that the interface can forward per second. The value range for the max-pps argument (in pps) is 1 to 1.4881 × the interface bandwidth.

Usage guidelines

The broadcast storm suppression features limits the size of broadcast traffic to a threshold on an interface. When the broadcast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system drops packets until the traffic drops below this threshold.

The broadcast-suppression command uses the chip to physically suppress broadcast traffic. It has less influence on the device performance.

The configured suppression threshold value in pps might be converted into a multiple of a step supported by the chip. As a result, the effective suppression threshold might be different from the configured one. To determine the suppression threshold that takes effect, see the prompts on the device.

Examples

# Set the broadcast suppression threshold to 10000 pps on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] broadcast-suppression pps 10000

Views

Layer 2 Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ratio: Sets the multicast suppression threshold as a percentage of the interface bandwidth. The value range for this argument (in percentage) is 1 to 100. A smaller value means that less multicast traffic is allowed to pass through.

pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of multicast packets that the interface can forward per second. The value range for the max-pps argument (in pps) is 1 to 1.4881 × the interface bandwidth.

Usage guidelines

The multicast storm suppression feature limits the size of multicast traffic to a threshold on an interface. When the multicast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system drops packets until the traffic drops below this threshold.

The multicast-suppression command uses the chip to physically suppress multicast traffic. It has less influence on the device performance.

Examples

# Set the multicast storm suppression threshold to 10000 pps on GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

Layer 2 Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ratio: Sets the unknown unicast suppression threshold as a percentage of the interface bandwidth. The value range for this argument (in percentage) is 1 to 100. A smaller value means that less unknown unicast traffic is allowed to pass through.

pps max-pps: Specifies the maximum number of unknown unicast packets that the interface can forward per second. The value range for the max-pps argument (in pps) is 1 to 1.4881 × the interface bandwidth.

Usage guidelines

The unknown unicast storm suppression feature limits the size of unknown unicast traffic to a threshold on an interface. When the unknown unicast traffic on the interface exceeds this threshold, the system discards packets until the unknown unicast traffic drops below this threshold.

The unicast-suppression command uses the chip to physically suppress unknown unicast traffic. It has less influence on the device performance.

Parameters

size: Sets the MTU in bytes. The value range for this argument varies by interface type.

Usage guidelines

A smaller MTU size results in more fragments. When you set the MTU for an interface, consider QoS queue lengths, for example, consider that the default FIFO queue length is 75. To prevent a too small MTU from causing packet drops in QoS queuing, you can perform one of the following configurations:

· Tune the MTU with the mtu command.

· Tune QoS queue lengths with the qos fifo queue-length command.
