Command Descriptions
This chapter is a command-by-command description of the firmware version 9.00 CLI commands for the Catalyst 1900 series and Catalyst 2820 series switches.
address-violation
Use the address-violation global configuration command to specify the action for a port address violation. Use the no address-violation command to set the switch to its default value (suspend).
address-violation {suspend | disable | ignore}
no address-violation
Syntax Description
suspend Suspend port on address violation. A suspended port is temporarily disabled until a certain number of frames with the proper address is received.
disable Disable port on address violation.
ignore Ignore address violation.
Default
The port is suspended on address violation.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
An address violation occurs when a secured port receives a source address that has been assigned to another secured port or when a port tries to learn an address that exceeds the address-table size limit.
Example
This command causes the switch to disable the port on address violation.
hostname(config)# address-violation disable
Related Commands

autobaud
Use the autobaud line-configuration command to enable remote baud-rate matching. Use the no autobaud command to disable remote baud-rate matching.
autobaud
no autobaud
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default
Remote baud-rate matching is enabled.
Command Mode
Line configuration
Example
This example shows how to enable remote baud-rate matching.

back-pressure
Use the back-pressure global configuration command to enable back pressure. Use the no back-pressure command to disable back pressure.
back-pressure
no back-pressure
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Default
Back pressure is disabled.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
When the back-pressure command is enabled, the switch forces a collision when there is no buffer to receive frames. This collision causes the transmitter to retransmit dropped frames immediately, increasing performance. The command is valid only for a 10BaseT port operating in half-duplex mode.
Example
This example shows how to enable back pressure.
hostname(config)# back-pressure
Related Commands
configure
duplex
show (interfaces)
show (port system)
banner motd
Use the banner motd global configuration command to set the message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner. Use the no banner motd command to remove the banner.

Syntax
motd Optional command acronym for "message of the day."
d Delimiting character---a pound sign (#), for example. Do not use the delimiting character in the banner message.
message Message text up to 400 characters or 20 lines.
Default
No MOTD is set.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
When configuring a multiline banner, the multiline help prompt displays after you enter the first line of the banner:
Enter TEXT message. End with the character c
where c is the delimiting character you choose.
When a MOTD banner is set, it displays at the login screen to the serial port console and all telnet connections (except the rcommand connections from a command switch). The maximum size of the banner is 400 characters or 20 lines, whichever is reached first.
Examples
This example sets the MOTD banner to Empowering the Internet Generation.
hostname(config)# banner motd # Empowering the Internet Generation #
This example shows how to set the MOTD banner message with line feeds.
hostname(config)# banner #
Enter TEXT message. End with the character #.
Line 1 is now up.
Line 2 is still down.
#
This example shows how to remove the MOTD banner.
hostname(config)# no banner motd

Examples
This example shows how to reset system configuration to factory defaults.
hostname(config)# delete nvram
This command resets the switch with factory defaults. All parameters will revert to their default factory settings. All static system and dynamic addresses will be removed.
Reset system with factory defaults, [y]es or [n]o?
Press Y or N to proceed.
This example shows how to reset the ATM module in slot A to factory defaults.
hostname(config)# delete nvram atm 1

If you want to enter a description with spaces between characters, you must enclose the string in quotation marks (see "Paul's machine" example, below)
Example
This example shows how to give the name Hal to Ethernet port 1.
hostname(config)# interface ether 0/1

half Half-duplex mode.
Defaults
For 100-Mbps TX ports: duplex auto.
For all other ports that support half- and full-duplex: duplex half.
Command Mode
Interface configuration
Usage Guidelines
Use the auto argument only for fixed Fast Ethernet TX ports. In auto-negotiation mode, the switch attempts to negotiate full-duplex connectivity with the connecting device. If negotiation is successful, the port operates in full-duplex mode. If the connecting device is unable to operate in full-duplex, the port operates in half-duplex. This process is repeated whenever there is a change in link status.
Example
This example shows how to set the port to full-duplex mode.
hostname(config-if)# duplex full

port-channel (mode)
Use the port-channel mode global configuration command to select the way in which two Fast Ethernet ports aggregate using Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) to form a Fast EtherChannel link. Use the no port-channel mode command to disable Fast EtherChannel links.
port-channel mode [on | auto | desirable | off]
no port-channel mode
Syntax Description
on Forces the port to aggregate without negotiation.
auto Port responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not initiate PAgP packet negotiation.
desirable Port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets.
off Prevents the port from aggregating without negotiation.
Default
Off
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
When a Fast EtherChannel link is formed, the port-channel interface is enabled. The port channel remains enabled until both ports lose the link. In the case of port-channel auto or desirable mode, when a port-channel member port detects a partner port that is misconfigured, disabled, or is not bidirectional, the port-channel member port goes down.
Both the auto and desirable modes allow ports to negotiate with connected ports to determine if they can form a channel based on criteria such as trunking state, VLAN numbers, and so on.
This command is not functional when bridge groups are enabled.
Example
The following example shows how to create a Fast EtherChannel link when the PAgP status of connecting devices is uncertain:
hostname(config)# port-channel mode desirable
The following example shows how to create a channel interface and enable a Fast EtherChannel link with PAgP disabled.
hostname(config)# port-channel mode on

Syntax Description
This command has no additional arguments or keywords.
Default
The default is no frame ordering.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
The no port-channel preserve-order command allows frame transmission misordering for maximum load balancing.
This command is not functional when bridge groups are enabled.
Example
The following example shows how to preserve frame transmission order on the channel interface:
hostname(config)# port-channel preserve-order
Related Commands

port-channel (template-port)
Use the port-channel template-port global configuration command to specify a Fast Ethernet port after which other grouped member ports are modeled.
port-channel template-port template-port
Syntax Description
template-port For Catalyst 2820 switches, Fast Ethernet port 1 or 2.For Catalyst 1900 switches, Fast Ethernet port 26 or 27.
Defaults
Fast Ethernet port 1 for the Catalyst 2820 series switches.
Fast Ethernet port 0/26 for the Catalyst 1900 series switches.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
The configuration parameters for which the specified Fast Ethernet port serves as a model or template are as follows:
?DISL trunk state.
?For a nontrunk port: VLAN number, spanning-tree path cost, and spanning-tree port priority.
?For a trunk port: VLAN allow list and VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) pruning-eligible list, spanning-tree two-option path costs and their assignments of VLANs, and spanning-tree two-option port priorities and their assignments of VLANs.
The configuration parameters remain the same for all member ports after aggregation. After the group is created, any change to the parameters of any member port or port channel applies to all other ports in the group.
This command is available only when bridge groups are enabled.
Example
The following example shows how to specify Fast Ethernet port 27 as the template port for member ports configuration:
hostname(config)# port-channel template-port fastethernet 0/27
