You can display and change system feature information for the Switch units in the stack using the commands on the Feature menu. These commands allow you to:
You can set up the roving analysis port, that is the port that you wish to connect the network analyzer to, using the add command on the Analyzer menu.
You can not set up a port for roving analysis if it is already part of a resilient link, or a member of a trunk.
To set up a roving analysis port:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature analyzer add
2 . Enter the number of the Switch unit in the stack on which you wish the roving analysis port to reside.
Enter analysis port (3,6):
3 . Enter the port number that you wish to be the roving analysis port. (The port selection list only includes the ports that are candidates to be the roving analysis port.)
You can display information about the roving analysis port on the Switch using the display command on the Analyzer menu.
To display the port summary information:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:

You can remove the roving analysis port using the remove command on the Analyzer menu.
To remove a roving analysis port:
At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature analyzer remove
You can start monitoring data on a specified port (monitor port) on a Switch unit in the stack using the start command on the Analyzer menu.
To start monitoring data on a port:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature analyzer start
Select unit to monitor (1-4):
2 . Enter the number of the Switch unit in the stack on which you wish the monitor port to reside.
Enter port to monitor (1,2,7):
3 . Enter the port number that you wish to have data copied from and monitored by the roving analysis port. (The port selection list only includes the ports that are candidates to be the monitor port.)
You can stop data monitoring by the roving analysis port and remove the monitor port from the roving analysis set up by using the stop command on the Analyzer menu.
To stop data monitoring by the roving analysis port and remove the monitor port:
At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature analyzer stop
You can enable or disable broadcast storm control for the Switch unit or stack using the broadcastStormControl command on the Feature menu.
To enable or disable broadcast storm control for the Switch:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature broadcastStormControl
Enter new value (disable, enable) [disable]:
2 . Enter enable or disable.
Enter rising threshold in pps (0-200000) [2976]:
3 . Enter the value for the rising threshold in packets per second.
Enter falling threshold in pps (0-200000) [1488]:
4 . Enter the value for the falling threshold in packets per second.
Enter time period in seconds (10-60) [30]:
5 . Enter the time period value in the range of 10 to 60 seconds.
You can set up resilient links on the Switch units within the stack using the define command on the Resilience menu.
To set up a resilient link:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature resilience define
Select unit for main link (1-4):
2 . Enter the unit number for the main link that you wish to define.
Select port for the main link (1,2,7):
3 . Enter the port number for the main link that you wish to define.
Select unit for standby link (1-4):
4 . Enter the number of the unit for the standby link that you wish to define.
Select port for the standby link (3,6):
5 . Enter the number of the port for the standby link that you wish to define.
Version 2.6x of the Switch Management Software which will be released towards the end of 2000 has an additional option for resilient links.
After selecting the port for the standby link, the following prompt is displayed:
Enter the mode of operation (symmetric, switchback) [symmetric]:
Select symmetric, if the current state is standby, if you wish the link to continue to operate on the standby link even after the main link is re-enabled. Select switchback if you want the link to automatically revert to the main link once the switch detects the main link is operational.
You can display detailed information for all resilient links set up within the stack using the detail command on the Resilience menu.
To display resilient link information:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature resilience detail
2 . The resilient link information is displayed as shown in the example below.
You can remove resilient links from the Switch units within the stack using the remove command on the Resilience menu.
To remove a resilient link:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature resilience remove
Select resilient link index (1,2):
2 . Enter the resilient link index number for the resilient link that you wish to remove.
You can swap over the resilient links on the Switch units within the stack to redesignate the active link by using the swap command on the Resilience menu.
To swap over the active link:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature resilience swap
Select resilient link index (1,2):
2 . Enter the resilient link index number for the resilient link that you wish to become active.
You can add a single port to a trunk on the current Switch unit using the addPort command on the Trunk menu.
To add a port to a trunk:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature trunk addPort
2 . Enter the index number of the trunk that you wish to add a port to.
Enter ports (1,2,7):
3 . Enter the port number that you wish to add to the trunk. (The choice of port numbers reflects suitable candidate ports.)
You can not add a port to a trunk that is already a member of a trunk, is part of a resilient link, is in VLT mode, or is selected as the copy port or study port.
You can display detailed trunk information for a single trunk within the current Switch unit using the detail command on the Trunk menu.
To display detailed trunk information:
1 . At the Top-level menu, enter:
feature trunk detail
Select Trunk Index (1-2):
2 . Enter the index number of the trunk for which you wish to see detailed information.
3 . The detailed trunk information is displayed as shown in the example below.
