The system commands can be broken down into the functional groups shown
below
.
Table 6: Command Group Index
Command Group Description Page
General Basic commands for entering privileged access mode,
restarting the system, or quitting the CLI
75
System Management Display and setting of system information, basic modes of
operation, maximum frame size, file management, console
port and telnet settings, system logs, SMTP alerts, the system
clock, and switch clustering
83
Simple Network
Management Protocol
Activates authentication failure traps; configures community
access strings, and trap receivers
151
Remote Monitoring Supports statistics, history, alarm and event groups
173
User Authentication Configures user names and passwords, command privilege
levels, logon access using local or remote authentication,
management access through the web server, Telnet server
and Secure Shell; as well as port security, IEEE 802.1X port
access control, restricted access based on specified IP
addresses, and PPPoE Intermediate Agent
181
General Security Measures Segregates traffic for clients attached to common data ports;
and prevents unauthorized access by configuring valid static
or dynamic addresses, web authentication, MAC address
authentication, filtering DHCP requests and replies, and
discarding invalid ARP responses
245
Access Control List Provides filtering for IPv4 frames (based on address, protocol,
TCP/UDP port number or TCP control code), IPv6 frames
(based on address or DSCP traffic class, or next header), or
non-IP frames (based on MAC address or Ethernet type)
319
Interface Configures the connection parameters for all Ethernet ports,
aggregated links, and VLANs
345
Link Aggregation Statically groups multiple ports into a single logical trunk;
configures Link Aggregation Control Protocol for port trunks
363
Power over Ethernet
*
Configures power output for connected devices
375
Mirror Port Mirrors data to another port for analysis without affecting the
data passing through or the performance of the monitored
port
381
Congestion C ontrol Sets the input/output rate limits, traffic storm thresholds, and
thresholds for broadcast and multicast storms which can be
used to trigger configured rate limits or to shut down a port.
391
Loopback Detection Detects general loopback conditions caused by hardware
problems or faulty protocol settings
417
UniDirectional Link
Detection
Detect and disables unidirectional links
411
Address Table Configures the address table for filtering specified addresses,
displays current entries, clears the table, or sets the aging time
423
Spanning Tree Configures Spanning Tree settings for the switch
