Topology
Overview
The Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub is a 5-port Fast
Ethernet switch featuring five 100BASE-TX ports and two slots for
optional 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX media adapters. Each 100
Mbps port supports a Fast Ethernet segment, up to a total of 1024
cached nodes for the switch.
The switch increases the available bandwidth and extends the distance
of Fast Ethernet installations by dividing the network into segments
and insulating each from the others’ local traffic. Additionally, by
configuring a link for full duplex, you can establish a 200 Mbps link
between the switch and another switch, server, or workstation. This is
especially useful for busy file servers that are accessed by multiple
segments.
Data transfer delays are eliminated through the switch’s parallel store-
and-forward architecture with direct port-to-port transfer. Selective
flow control improves performance by preventing lost packets due to
buffer overload.

Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub
Security features include the creation of custom filters and virtual
networks (VLANs). You can define any custom filter based on
multicast/broadcast, source port, destination port, and destination
address. VLAN features include the ability to set broadcast or
multicast domains. See Chapter 2 for information on configuring
VLANs.
The switch also has a built-in SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) agent and can be monitored and controlled through any
SNMP-compliant Network Management System (NMS). See page 20
for information on using the switch with an SNMP NMS and getting
the switch’s MIB (Management Information Base) file.

C H A P T E R 1 Hardware Installation and Network Topology
Installation and Setup
1
Install the switch in a rack or on a shelf.
For rack placement, connect the switch to a 19-inch rack using the
enclosed rack mount brackets.
For shelf placement, attach the enclosed rubber feet to each corner of
the bottom of the switch and place it on a flat, level surface.
2
Plug the switch in and turn the power on.
Plug the switch into an active AC outlet and turn the power on. A
built-in power supply automatically adjusts to any outlet providing
between 90 VAC and 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
3
Connect the Fast Ethernet devices.
NOTE
The switch will only work with
100 Mbps devices. For a
10BASE-T connection, see
page 12.
For optimum performance, the Fast Ethernet segments connected to
the switch must be configured carefully. Follow these general
guidelines:
•
Connect only 100 Mbps devices to the switch. The switch will not
work with 10 Mbps devices. See page 12 for information on
connecting to a 10 Mbps segment.
•
•
•
Always use Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable when
plugging devices into 100BASE-TX ports.
Limit the distance between devices connected with UTP cable to
100 meters.
Use a crossover cable when directly connecting a workstation,
server, or another switch to the switch. Use straight-through
cables when connecting to a repeating hub or concentrator.
•
Configure the network so devices that primarily talk to each other
are on the same segment. Each port on the switch is defined as a
single Fast Ethernet segment.
4
Is setup complete?
If you’re using the switch as a stand-alone device (not under the
control of network management software), you’re done.
If you want to change the default configuration (shown in
Appendix A) or manage the switch, continue to Chapter 2.

NOTE
Using the Switch
The default configuration of
all ports is half-duplex mode.
The switch requires minimal user intervention. It automatically learns
the addresses of new stations as they appear, and will relearn
addresses dynamically if the network is reconfigured.
To change to full duplex, use
the Console Manager. See
page 19 for instructions.
Each of the Fast Ethernet ports has six status LEDs. There is a
separate bank of four LEDs for the management status.
Port status LEDs
Port LEDs provide information about the port’s configuration and the
status of devices connected to the ports.
Port 3

Cabling Requirements
Incorrect cabling is often the cause of network configuration
problems. It’s important that you understand cabling requirements
before connecting Fast Ethernet devices to the switch.
UTP requirements
The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet specification requires you use
Category 5 (CAT5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling to operate
at 100 Mbps per second. If you use lower grade cabling (CAT3 or
CAT4), you’ll get a connection, but will soon experience data loss or
slow performance.
You’re limited to 100 meters between any two devices with UTP
cable. However, you can extend the total diameter by installing a fiber
optic media adapter and using fiber optic connections between
switches, or between the switch and a router or bridge.
See pages 10–11 if you’re unsure whether your network topology
meets these distance limitations.
Fiber optic requirements
The optional 100BASE-FX fiber optic media adapter (Intel product
code ESMODFX) lets you use multimode fiber optic cable to connect
two switches, or to connect the switch with a router or bridge. The
media adapter uses an SC fiber optic connector.
With multimode fiber optic cable, signals can travel up to 412 meters
with no repeater when the link is configured at half duplex. If
configured at full duplex, the signal can travel up to 2 km.

Straight-through vs. crossover cables
Ports on the switch are wired MDI so you can use a straight-through
cable when connecting to a Fast Ethernet repeating hub port, which is
usually wired MDI-X. For direct connection to another MDI port
(workstation, server, or another switch), you must use a crossover
cable. The pinouts of MDI and MDI-X ports are shown below.

Determining which cable to use
Different switch and repeater manufacturers implement their port
configurations differently. The following guidelines are based on the
Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub (switch), the Intel Express
100BASE-TX Stackable Hub (repeater) and the EtherExpress™
family of adapters (server or workstation). These apply to the majority
of switches and hubs:

Typical Configurations
Configuring the 100 Mbps workgroup
environment
In the 100 Mbps environment, workgroup clients should be connected
to a 100 Mbps hub such as the Intel Express 100BASE-TX Stackable
Hub. All hub stacks should be connected to the Express Switching
Hub. By connecting the hubs to a switching environment, you can
extend Fast Ethernet distance limitations.

Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub
Connecting to a 10 Mbps segment
The Express Switching Hub is a 100 Mbps-only switch. You can’t
connect a 10 Mbps device directly to the switch.
The preferred way to connect the segments is by using a bridge,
router, or a 100 Mbps uplink module for your 10 Mbps hub (there
isn’t a 10 Mbps uplink module available for the Express switching
hub). However, this is costly if you don’t already have the equipment.
An inexpensive alternative is to connect the segments through a
server.

adapters, one at 100

NOTE
Windows NT* 3.51 doesn’t
include the multi-protocol
router software by default.
You can download it from the
Microsoft World Wide Web
site.
Several adapters on the market (such as the Intel EtherExpress PRO/
100 adapter) operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. By connecting the
Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub to one server adapter at 100
Mbps and your 10BASE-T hub to a separate adapter at 10 Mbps in the
same server, you can route traffic from the 10 Mbps segment to the
100 Mbps segment through your Network Operating System (NOS).
If your NOS doesn’t support multi-protocol routing (Windows 95
peer-to-peer and Windows for Workgroups* don’t), you must use a
Fast Ethernet switch or router that supports both 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps.

C H A P T E R 1 Hardware Installation and Network Topology
NOTE
By default, flow control is
enabled on all ports.
Excessive flow control problems
During times of peak network usage, you may occasionally see the
FC/FD LED blink (for a description of the LED, see page 6). This is
normal. However, if it stays lit for more than a few seconds at a time,
or if there’s an excessive number of flow controls reported by the
If you configure a port for full
duplex, flow control is auto-
matically disabled.
network management software, it could indicate a problem with your
network configuration.
A port’s FC/FD LED indicator flashes whenever a packet is received
that needs to be forwarded to a port that already has too many packets
queued. This indicates a temporary overload situation on one port; the
total traffic to the port exceeds the amount the buffer can hold. This
typically occurs when there are several fast machines on different
ports trying to access a machine across the switch. If this is
infrequent, you don’t need to do anything. However, if this occurs
often on the network, then the devices causing flow control to activate
should be identified and moved to the same segment as the device that
they are talking to.
When Ethernet bandwidth is temporarily insufficient for the traffic,
there are only three possible actions: drop packets, use flow control,
or segment the network. Buffering packets only works for a very short
while. An extended overload will eventually overflow buffers and
cause dropped packets. Flow control stops transmission on a port and
forces devices to resend packets, ensuring that packets aren’t lost.
This is the most reasonable solution, since it relies on Ethernet’s
inherent collision detection mechanism to relieve temporary overload.
Repeater count limitations
The switch doesn’t count as a repeater. Each port on the switch can
support a full Fast Ethernet network. There can be one repeater/hub
between the switch and any workstations or servers (a stack of Intel
Express 100BASE-TX Hubs counts as a single hub). Also, the total
diameter of a segment can’t exceed 200 meters when using UTP
cable. That is, the distance between any two nodes on a segment (or
the switch and a node on the other side of a hub) can’t exceed 200
meters.

Managing the Switch
You don’t need to read this chapter unless you want to change the
Express Switching Hub’s default configuration (see Appendix A for a
list of defaults) or intend to manage the switch. The switch is ready to
go simply by plugging it in and turning the power on.
However, if you need to change the default configuration or manage
the switch, there are two ways:
•
Use SNMP-compliant management software (not included).
However, you must first use the Console Manager to assign an IP
address to the switch.
•
Use the Express Switching Hub’s internal Console Manager.

Accessing the Console
Manager
The Console Manager software is contained in the switch’s
nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM); you don’t need to install any software.
To access the Console Manager:
1
Use the null-modem cable (included with the switch) to connect a
workstation’s COM port to the Console Mgmt port on the switch.
Console Mgmt
PC-3442

3
Open a terminal emulation program (such as Windows Terminal).
Select the COM port and these communication parameters:
9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
In Windows Terminal, choose Communications from the Setting
menu.
4
Press E. The login prompt appears:
Login:
password:
By default, no login name or password is assigned. The password
you enter becomes active only after you reset the switch or turn
off the power. If you want the password to take effect
immediately, use the set-passwd command.
Accessing the Console Manager remotely
To access remotely through Telnet, you must first set the IP
configuration of the switch using the set-ip-conf command (see
page 32 for instructions). You can then use Telnet to reach the switch.
In a remote session, all commands work exactly as if a terminal were
directly connected to the Console Mgmt port. Note that only one
console session can be active at a time. After the first Telnet session is
established, the switch refuses other Telnet connections until the
current session is closed. To terminate an active Telnet session, press
E three times from the serial interface.

Entering commands
To enter commands, type the command name followed by any
parameters and press E. For example, typing sys-stat E
at the command prompt displays basic system status information.
Items in angle brackets represent values. For example, <IPaddress>
represents an IP address in dotted decimal notation (such as
123.1.1.7).
Items in { } and separated by | represent alternatives for an
argument. For example,
get-comm {read|write|*}
means you can type one of the following
get-comm read
get-comm write
get-comm *
If you enter a command incorrectly, a message indicates the type of
error that occurred. For example, typing a nonexistent command gives
the following message:

command <pin> not found
If the command exists but the number of parameters is incorrect, the
following message is displayed:

Console Manager command groups
The Console Manager has several categories of commands:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Console commands: help, banner, serial line setup, console
parameters setup.
System commands: system status, reset commands, download
commands, and system debug commands.
IP commands: IP address setup, parameter and information
display.
SNMP agent commands: SNMP settings, management, and trap
options.
Switching database commands: aging time management and
switching database entry management.
Spanning tree commands: disabling or manually configuring the
spanning tree protocol.
•
•
•
VLAN commands: management of security virtual LANs.
Port configuration commands: duplex and other port settings.
Switching statistics commands: traffic and packet counters.
The following sections explain some of the more commonly used
commands for configuring ports and monitoring traffic statistics.
Configuring a port for full duplex
Commands used
set-port-dplex Sets the duplex mode on the specified port.
get-port-cfg
Displays the current port configurations.
Configuring a port for full duplex allows the switch to send and
receive packets simultaneously with the destination device. To
establish a full-duplex link, both the switch and the destination device
must be configured for full duplex.
NOTE
Setting a port to full duplex
automatically disables flow
control. Since collisions don’t
happen on a full-duplex link,
flow control isn’t needed.
Additionally, the link must be to a switch, workstation, or server. You
cannot establish a full-duplex link to a device that broadcasts
incoming packets to every port on the device. This excludes most
shared hubs, repeaters, or concentrators.

Configuring the SNMP agent for IP
Commands used
set-ip-conf
ping
Sets IP address, netmask, and broadcast address.
Contacts another IP device.
The switch can be monitored and controlled through any SNMP-
compliant network management system (NMS). First, you must
configure the SNMP agent by assigning an IP address.
To configure the SNMP agent
1
Set the IP configuration. Type the command:
set-ip-conf 192.1.1.64 255.255.255.0 192.1.1.255
If the switch doesn’t have an IP address, then the specified IP
configuration is changed immediately and saved in NVRAM.
If the switch is already configured, the command changes only the
NVRAM. To use the new parameters, reset the switch using the
warm-resetcommand.
2
Test the installation. Type the command:
SYS_console> ping 192.1.1.1 2
This example tests connectivity from the switch to a workstation
with an IP address of 192.1.1.1. For more information on the ping
command, see page 33.

Configuring and Managing the Switch
Monitoring traffic
Commands used
get-br-cnt
Displays the packet statistics for a port. For a
complete description, see page 52.
get-eth-cnt
Displays the Ethernet counters for a port.
get-colls-cnt
Displays the collision distribution counters for a
port.
get-rmon-cnt
get-sdist-cnt
Displays the Ethernet RMON counters for a port.
Displays the packet size distribution counters for a
port.
get-mgm-brcnt
clr-cnt
Displays the statistics for the management port.
Resets the Ethernet and bridging statistics.
Use monitoring commands to determine the traffic volume from
specific ports or between ports. This allows you to determine the
traffic patterns of your network and adjust your network topology for
maximum efficiency.
Statistics are generated for the current session. Reset counters by
using the clr-cnt command, resetting the switch, or cycling the
power.
In general, keep devices that primarily talk to each other on the same
segment (remember, each port is a Fast Ethernet segment). For
example, if a high volume of traffic is forwarded from port 4 to port
3, determine which devices are generating traffic and move them to
the same segment. This often happens when users are accessing a
server on a separate segment. A change may not be efficient,
however, if users from several segments all access the same server
frequently.

In this example, a station on port 3 is accessing a server on port 4. To
reduce the amount of traffic crossing the switch, the server should be
connected to a hub on port 3 instead of a hub on port 4. This keeps
traffic localized to the same Fast Ethernet segment.
Creating VLANs
Commands used
set-vbc-domain Sets up a Virtual Broadcast Domain (VBD).
del-vbc-domain Deletes a VBD.
get-vbc-tbl
set-sec-vlan
del-sec-vlan
get-svlan-tbl
Displays the VBD table.
Sets up a security VLAN.
Deletes a security VLAN.
Displays the security VLAN table.
There are two types of VLANs:
•
Security VLANs (SVLANs). Ports in an SVLAN can exchange
packets only with other ports in the same SVLAN.
•
VBDs: Ports in a virtual broadcast domain can exchange packets
only with other ports in the same VBD. However, they can see
broadcast frames from other ports in the same VBD.
Use only one type. Configuring both types in the same switch can
lead to unpredictable traffic patterns.
If you want a device to talk to multiple VLANs (for example, a
management workstation), apply a custom filter to the device. See
page 24 for instructions.

Sets the spanning tree port priority.
Enables or disables a port spanning tree.
set-prt-pcost Sets the spanning tree port path cost.
Spanning tree is a protocol that determines which port is turned off in
a redundant configuration. Spanning tree is enabled anytime a packet
could potentially be caught in an infinite loop on the network (for
example, when two switches are connected to each other and also to
the same bridge). The protocol uses the port with the lowest-cost path
and turns off the other port. If one path fails, the other path is
automatically turned on.
Spanning tree is enabled by default. See the “Spanning tree
commands” section later in this chapter for more information.

Use custom filters to control where the switch forwards packets from
a given MAC address. Custom filters override VLANs. This is useful
when you want a device to talk to devices outside of its VLAN.
Filters are defined for a set of ports. For example, you can set a
custom filter that tells the switch to forward packets received on ports
3 and 4 to ports 6 and 7.

Source ports start with port 1.
Destination ports start with
port 0, which is the internal
SNMP management port.
Determine the switch ports where the device’s packets will be
forwarded. These are the destination ports.
Use the Custom Filter Port Tables in Appendix A to find the
source and destination port hexadecimal equivalents.
Type the command:
add-cf-entry perm 00-A0-C9-11-11-11 C C0
This custom filter would send packets from the device with MAC
address 00-A0-00-11-11-11 arriving on ports 3 or 4 (hexadecimal
C) to both ports 6 and 7 (hexadecimal C0).

warm-reset
Resets the SNMP agent software without resetting the switch (it
doesn’t disconnect existing connections). The switch configuration is
loaded from the values saved in NVRAM. The statistics counters are
also reset by this command.
cold-reset
Performs a cold reset, which is equivalent to turning the power off
and on again. Existing connections are also lost.

init-nvram
Resets the NVRAM on the SNMP agent to default values. Changes
don’t take effect until you use the warm-resetor cold-reset
commands or cycle the power. Default values are listed in Appendix
A.
set-line-slip
set-line-slip {9600|19200|38400}
Changes the console serial port to SLIP mode for out-of-band SNMP
management. The argument to the command is the new baud rate for
the interface. SLIP can be used with a terminal server but not with a
modem. The SLIP interface can be configured using the
set-slip-conf console command. The serial port can be returned to
console mode by pressing E three consecutive times from a
terminal.
set-sw-file
set-sw-file <filename>
Sets the name of the file downloaded by TFTP (trivial file transfer
protocol). This command is used in case of an update to the switch’s
firmware. The file name must match the name of the agent software
file on a TFTP server. When TFTP is used, the per-packet
retransmission time-out value on the server (not the switch) must be
increased to 10 seconds, since the SNMP agent must first erase its
flash EEPROM, which takes about 30 seconds.

set-par-file
set-par-file <filename>
Sets the name of the SNMP agent parameter file downloaded by boot
PROM (BOOTP). This filename must match the name of the
parameter file on the BOOTP server. The format of the parameter file
is:
<switch_hardware_address> : <read_comm> : <write_comm>
Example:
00-A0-C9-00-01-23 : public : private
set-fg-param
set-fg-param <dest> <source> <fill_byte> <length>
Sets the frame generator parameters. The dest and sourceare dash-
separated hardware addresses in hex. The fill_byte is a single byte
used to fill the entire packet except for the first 12 bytes. The length
is the total length of the packet excluding CRC.
start-fg
start-fg <dport-bitmask> <count> <rate>
Starts frame generation. dport-bitmaskis a hex bitmask of which
ports to generate traffic on. For example, a dport-bitmaskof 3E
sends frames to ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Use the source port list on page 68
for hexadecimal bitmask equivalents. The count specifies the number
of frames to send on each port. A count of 0 sends packets until you
type the stop-fg command. The rate specifies the number of packets
per second to generate.
stop-fg
Stops the frame generator.
IP commands
This section lists the IP commands available from the command line
interface. In the sections that follow, IP Configuration lists general

dropped. The default is 10.
set-def-ttl
set-def-ttl <number>
Modifies the default TTL value, from 1 to 255 router hops allowed.
Ping commands
The ping command sends an Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) echo request packet to a station. The ping process is
asynchronous, so any responses are mixed in with other system
console messages. For this reason, it’s best to avoid typing other
commands (except ping-stop, which cancels the ping) while the ping
process is active.

Ping a device (at IP address) numberof times or 0for endless ping.
The ping process sends a numberof datagrams, one per second. One
line of output appears for every response received. Normal response
time is 1 to 10 seconds.
The ping command is intended for testing the connectivity between
the switch and an IP station. It is not intended as a traffic generator, so
it’s best to avoid using an endless ping. To stop the ping, use cC
or enter the ping-stop command.
SYS_console> ping 129.1.1.1 10
129.001.001.001 Alive. echo reply: id 297, seq 4, echo-data-len 8
PING process stopped - press <CR> for prompt
— press <CR> to get the prompt again
If the host doesn’t respond, the console prompt appears and no output
is added. Failure to get an echo response from a host may be due to
the following:
•
•
•
•
A bad physical connection.
A nonexistent or inactive host.
network unreachable: no corresponding entry in the routing table.
destination unreachable: the default gateway failed to route the
datagram.
•
outdated Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table information:
clear the ARP table with the del-arp-entrycommand.
If there’s an active ping process due to a previous “long” ping
command and you try to start a new ping, the command fails.
ping-stop
Stops the active ping process. You can also use cC.

Configuring and Managing the Switch
add-arp-entry
add-arp-entry <IPaddress> <mac_address> <port>
Adds an entry to the ARP table manually.
del-arp-entry
del-arp-entry {<IPaddress>|*}
Deletes entries from the ARP table. If you enter an IP address, the
matching ARP entry is deleted. If you enter *, the entire ARP table is
cleared. Use this command if the network topology has physically
changed. For example, if a management station moves from one
segment to another, its port number changes.
SNMP commands
This section lists commands for configuring the SNMP agent itself,
access and trap configuration.
SNMP community strings
SNMP community strings authenticate access to the Management
Information Base (MIB). Community strings function as “passwords”
embedded in every SNMP packet. The community string must match
one of the two community strings configured in the switch for the
message to be processed. There are two community strings, one for
each of the following type of access:
• read mode gives read access to all the objects in the MIB, but
doesn’t allow write access.
• write mode gives read and write access to all objects in the MIB.
get-comm
get-comm {read|write|*}
Displays the SNMP community string for a given access mode (read
or write). If the access mode is specified as *, both read and write
community strings are displayed.
SYS_console> get-comm *
Current read community is: < public >
Current write community is: < private >

set-comm
set-comm {read|write} <community-string>
Specifies the SNMP community string for each of the two access
modes (read and write).
SYS_console> set-comm write password
New write community is: < password >
SNMP trap message commands
When the switch detects an irregular event, it generates a trap. A trap
is a notification message that can be sent to predefined network
management stations. A trap event can be a cold or warm reset,
detection of a port link status change, an SNMP authentication failure
due to an incorrect community string, or similar event.
The SNMP trap commands let you specify
•
•
whether the Express Switching Hub issues an authentication trap.
which NMSs (up to five) the SNMP agent sends traps to.
get-auth
Displays the authentication trap setting. By default, authentication
trap messages are enabled.
set-auth
set-auth {on|off}
Changes the authentication trap setting. The default is on, meaning
the switch generates authentication traps. Specifying off prevents the
switch from sending authentication traps.
get-traps
Displays the list of traps receiving stations (their IP address and trap
SNMP community string).

Switching database commands
This section contains instructions for managing the switching
database with the Console Manager.
The switching database, also called a learn table or address table,
consists of 1024 entries. Each active entry contains the information
relevant to a network node, identified by its Ethernet MAC address.
Each entry contains the following information:
Lock. If on (denoted as a +), the entry is a static entry and isn’t
deleted by the switch aging process. If off (denoted as a -), the entry is
a dynamic entry that’s automatically deleted if the workstation is not
active during the aging time period.

C H A P T E R 2
Intel Express 100BASE-TX Switching Hub
Self(not user configurable). If on (denoted as a +), the entry is a
system address. These are the switch’s individual and group
addresses, as well as other addresses added by the management
system. If off (denoted as a -), the entry contains the MAC address of
a station on the network.
Dport. The destination port where frames from the entry are
forwarded. If the MAC address is a custom filter, this doesn’t apply.
Mgmt. If on (denoted as a +), frames from the entry are sent to the
management port on the switch.
The first section, “Virtual addresses,” lists commands relevant to
standard MAC addresses (for example, determining the behavior of
the switch when it sees a particular address). The second section,
“Custom filtering,” lists commands pertinent to the custom filtering
capabilities of the switch.

Displays the switching database aging time in seconds. This is the
amount of time the switch stores a device’s MAC address before
clearing it from the database. An entry whose MAC address doesn’t
appear in the source field of an incoming packet for this period of
time is discarded. The default is 300 seconds.

Custom filtering
Custom filters are useful for ensuring that a device can reach other
devices regardless of where the device is attached. For example, if
you have a laptop computer that acts as a management station, you
want to make sure you can reach your servers from any part of your
network, even if some segments have security VLAN restrictions.
The custom filter entry for an address is shown onscreen as a matrix.
The source (SRC) column lists the available source ports (1 through 7,
where ports 1 and 2 may or may not be installed). The other columns
each represent an available destination port. A + represents a
forwarding path. In the example, each source port (except port 3,
because ports don’t forward frames to themselves) forwards frames to
port 3.

sport is a hexadecimal representation of incoming ports, and dport is
a hexadecimal bitmask of representation of outgoing ports. Because
bitmasks are difficult to determine, a list of numbers for every
combination of source and destination ports is listed in Appendix A.
Packets arriving at the switch with the destination MAC address from
any port specified in sport are transmitted to all ports specified in
dport.
SYS_console> add-cf-entry perm 00-AA-00-11-11-11 C C0
Add CF LT entry OK
CF Entry Update in NVRAM OK
This custom filter sends packets with destination MAC address
00-AA-00-11-11-11 from port 3 or 4 (hexadecimal C) to ports 6 and 7
(hexadecimal C0).
del-cf-entry
del-cf-entry {run|nvram} <mac_address> <sport>
Deletes the custom filter entry for address mac_address from source
port sport. Ports are deleted one at a time by entering the port
number. run indicates that the entry is deleted only from the current
running table. nvram indicates that the entry should be removed from
the NVRAM as well as the current running table.

VLAN commands
Use VLANs to limit the broadcast domain and establish security
virtual LANs. See the procedure on page 22 on creating VLANs.
• run indicates that only the currently running configuration is
changed. Changes are not restored after a reset.
• nvram indicates that only the configuration stored in NVRAM is
changed. Changes do not take effect until a reset.
• all indicates that both the currently running configuration and the
NVRAM configuration is changed. Changes take effect
immediately and are restored after a reset.
get-con-matrix
Displays the current connectivity matrix for the switch. The first
column is the source port. The other columns are destinations where
frames from a given source port can be forwarded. Unlearned
addresses (addresses that aren’t in the switching database) are
forwarded to all ports marked with a + in the source port’s row.
Learned addresses are forwarded to their destinations only if the
destination is marked with a + in the source port’s row. Ports don’t
need to be forwarded to themselves.

Troubleshooting
If there is an operating problem with the Express Switching Hub,
incorrect configuration or cabling is probably the cause. Try the
troubleshooting steps below in order:
1
Verify that your cables are wired correctly. This is the most
common problem. Use a UTP crossover cable to directly connect
another switch, server, or workstation to the switch. Use a straight-
through cables when connecting to a repeater. See page 8 for more
information.
2
3
Make sure the unit is plugged into a grounded, functioning AC
outlet providing between 90 VAC and 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
Review the Link LEDs of other devices to ensure that those ports
you believe should be functioning are properly attached to the
switch with a Category 5 UTP cable.
4
5
Review the switch’s Link LEDS to ensure that ports you believe
should be functioning are properly configured, and not disabled or
partitioned.
If you configured a port for full duplex, make sure the device on
the other end is configured for full duplex and is capable of
transmitting in full duplex. Remember, you must have a point-to-
point connection for a full-duplex link. Most repeaters aren’t
capable of full duplex.

recommendations on dealing with excessive flow control.
Make sure that the equipment attached to the switch is properly
configured. If the CLSN LED is on continuously, you may have a
problem with an adapter on the segment.
8
Use the Console Manager to check the switch’s status. Use the
sys-statcommand to check the overall system status and the get-
port-cfgcommand to check the status of each port.
If you encounter any situations or problems you cannot solve, get the
following information:
•
The serial number of the Express Switching Hub printed on the
back side of the switch.
•
The firmware revision number displayed in the Console Manager
sys-statmessage.
•
•
•
The configuration of the equipment connected to the switch.
The sequence of events leading up to your problem.
Actions you have already taken.
If you call Intel Customer Support, you have 90 days of free support
after your first call. Thereafter, Intel offers several pay-for-support
options.

Technical Information
SNMP and MIB Support
The Express Switching Hub contains a built-in SNMP agent running
on the SNMP processor board. This allows each Express Switching
Hub to be managed from a centralized management station via any
SNMP-compliant NMS.
The SNMP agent software complies with the following standards:
•
•
•
RFC 1155, The Structure of Management Information (SMI) for
TCP/IP Based Internets, 5/90.
RFC 1556, Management Information Base (MIB) for Network
Managers of TCP/IP Based Internets, 5/90.
RFC 1557, The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), 5/
90.
•
•
RFC 1213, The Management Information Base II (MIB II), 3/91.
RFC 1643, Definitions of Managed Objects for the Ethernet-like
Interface Types.
•
•
•
•
•
RFC 1573, Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II, 1/94.
RFC 1493, Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges, 7/93.
RFC 793, Transmission Control Protocol.
RFC 854, Telnet Protocol Specification.
RFC 1055, Nonstandard for transmission of IP datagrams over
serial lines: SLIP, 1/88.
The SNMP agent uses UDP/IP (RFC 768, RFC 950, RFC 1071 and
RFC 791) as OSI layers 3 and 4 protocols, and ICMP (RFC 792) and
ARP (RFC 826) to complete the UDP/IP protocol suite.
The UDP/IP stack implementation is conformant to:
•
•
RFC 1122, Requirements for Internet hosts, communication layers.
RFC 1123, Requirements for Internet hosts, application and
support.
The Express Switching Hub may be managed by any SNMP Manager
that conforms to the above standards.
The Express Switching Hub implements an Intel Enterprise MIB.
