1 INTRODUCTION
Over the past several years, Ethernet has been the most popular choice of technology for
local area networks (LAN). There are millions of Ethernet users worldwide and still counting growing.
In 1998, the standard for 1-Gigabit Ethernet was released. Today 1-Gigabit Ethernet dominate the
LAN markets.
As the demand for high-speed networks continues to grow, the need for a faster Ethernet
technology became a need. By March 1999, a working group was formed at IEEE 802.3 Higher
Speed Study Group (HSSG) to develop a standard for 10-Gigabit Ethernet, today 10GigE is a reality.
10-Gigabit Ethernet is basically the faster-speed version of Ethernet. It will support the data rate of 10
Gb/s. It offers similar benefits to those of the preceding Ethernet standard.
The potential of 10-Gigabit Ethernet to solve the actual and future network bottlenecks are
enormous.
There are broad groups of users who demand 10-Gigabit Ethernet; for example, enterprise
users, universities, telecommunication carriers, and Internet service providers, but in a last instance;
users and their application will be pushing up this new generation of equipments and its use.
One of the main benefits of 10-Gigabit standard is that it offers a low-cost solution to solve the
current and future demands for bandwidth. Not only the cost of installation is low, but the cost of
network maintenance and management is minimal as well. Management and maintenance for 10-
Gigabit Ethernet may be done by local network administrators as it is done actually for 1GigE
networks.
In addition to the cost reduction benefit, 10-Gigabit Ethernet may allow faster switching. Since
10-Gigabit Ethernet uses the same Ethernet format, it allows seamless integration of LAN, MAN, and
WAN. There is no need for packet fragmentation, reassembling, or address translation 10-Gigabit
Ethernet also offers straightforward scalability (10/100/1000/10000 Mb/s).
Upgrading to 10-Gigabit Ethernet is simple since the upgrade paths are similar to those of 1-
Gigabit Ethernet.
AsGa LightBOLT 10GigE switches offer a seamless path migration to your 10Gig solution,
integrating in just one rack unit 24 1GigE electrical ports (two optical 1GigE combo port available)
plus four 10GigE ports with an unparallel switching capacity: less than 3 microsecond switching time
at full load. In addition to many other capabilities, all switching/routing decisions are solved by
hardware, all Access Control List (ACL´s) are also solved in hardware off loading all host CPU
processing time related with those and many other tasks.

3.3 Command Line Interface Primer
The AsGOS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based facility similar to most industry
standards command lines interfaces. Each command CLI is usually associated with a specific function
or a common function performing a specific task.
Multiple users can telnet and issue commands using the Exec mode and the Privileged Exec
mode. However, only one user is allowed to use the Configure mode at a time, to avoid multiple users
from issuing configuration commands simultaneously.

Is the abbreviation for the show interface command.
3.7 Command Line Errors
If the switch does not recognize the command after ENTER is pressed, it displays this message:
% Unknown command.
If a command is incomplete it displays this message:
% Command incomplete.
Some commands are too long for the display line and can wrap in mid-parameter or mid-keyword if
necessary.
3.8 Modes Common to Protocols
Exec: This mode, also called the View mode, is the base mode from where users can perform basic
commands like show, exit, quit, help, list, and enable.
Privileged Exec: This mode, also called the Enable mode, allows users to perform debugging
commands, the write commands (for saving and viewing the configuration), show commands, and so
on.
Configure: Sometimes referred to as Configure Terminal, this mode serves as a gateway into the
Interface, AsGOS, Line, Route Map, Key Chain and Address Family modes.
Interface: This mode (or context) is used to configure protocol-specific settings for a particular
interface.
Line: This mode (or context) makes available access-class commands.

console port on the switch; or remotely by a Telnet or SSH connection over the network. For any
remote operation you need to configure an IP management address. The IP address for this switch is
unassigned by default. To change this
address, see “Setting Management IP address” on page 22.
The switch, CLI interface configuration program agent allow you to perform the following
management functions:
•Set user names and passwords.
•Set an IP interface for a management VLAN.
•Configure SNMP parameters.
•Enable/disable any port.
•Set the speed/duplex mode for any port.
•Configure up to 4096 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs.
•Upload and download system software via TFTP.
•Upload and download switch configuration files via TFTP.
•Configure Spanning Tree parameters for all STPx supported.
•Enable port mirroring.
•Set broadcast storm control on any port.
•Display system information and statistics.
•Others.
3.12 Connecting to the switch
3.12.1 Local Configuration
The switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for
monitoring and configuring the switch. To do this you will need a RS232 (no cross over cable) cable;
attach a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running your favorite terminal emulation program with the
following parameters configured:
•Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
•Set to the profile to the default switch profile.
•Once you have set up the terminal correctly, the console login screen will be displayed.
•Refer to “Line Commands” for a complete description of console configuration options.
The following picture show the DB9 switch “Pin out”:
3.12.2 Remote Connections

Exec) or View mode and privileged access level (Privileged Exec) or configuration mode. The
commands available at the Normal Exec level are a limited subset of those available at the Privileged
Exec level and allow you to only display information and use basic utilities. To fully configure the
switch parameters, you must access the CLI at the privileged Exec level. Access to both CLI levels
are controlled by users names and passwords. The switch has no default user name and password
configured.
Connected to the console port to initiate your console connection, just press <Enter>. At the
first time you will not be prompted for a user name and password. You will have the default prompt
name witch will be “AsGa> “ witch indicate the normal Exec mode operation (or View mode).
At this level you can enter at the configuration mode issuing the following commands:
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
AsGa> Default hostname and prompt will be displayed
AsGa> Enable To enter in configuration mode ingress the enable command and
press enter.
AsGa# Now you are into configuration mode or privileged mode.
If you have configured a user name and password you will be prompted:

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
After connect your terminal you will be prompted for a user name and
password.
User name: Enter your configured User name.
Password: Enter Your Configured Pass.
AsGa> Default hostname and password.
AsGa> enable Now you can issue the command enable.
AsGa# The prompt will change to “#”. Now you are into the privileged mode or
configuration mode.
3.13.2 Displaying system configuration
In order to verify your current configuration you need issue the command “show
running” under the privileged Exec level. This command displays your configuration stored into
NVRAM and actually running on your system. A typical out put view of this command can be
summarized:

3.13.3 Switch Port Roles
Physical ports in a switch can be “switched ports” that is ports witch can not accept an IP
address or “routed ports” witch can accept an IP address.
Note: By default all ports are switched (no routed) access ports with the default per port VLAN ID
(PVID) equal to one (PVID=1). By default the system run classical STP on all those access port.
Use the switchport interface configuration command with no keywords to put an interface
that is in Layer 3 mode into Layer 2 mode for Layer 2 configuration. Use the no form of this command
to put an interface in Layer 3 mode.
switchport
no switchport
Use the no switchport command (without parameters) to set the interface to the routed-
interface status and to erase all Layer 2 configurations. You must use this command before assigning
an IP address to a routed port.
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
AsGa>config t Enter into configuration mode.
AsGa#interface ge1 Enter into interface ge1 configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# Now you are into the interface configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# swtchport Put the interface into the default switchport mode.
AsGa(interface)#end Exit from interface configuration mode.
AsGa# wr Save the configuration.

AsGa(interface)# Now you are into the interface configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# NO swtchport Put the interface into the routed port mode, ready to
accept an IP address.
AsGa(interface)#end Exit from interface configuration mode.
AsGa# wr Save the configuration.
3.13.3.1 Switchport Mode
Use the switchport mode interface configuration command to configure the mode of a port.
Use the no form of this command to reset the mode to the appropriate default for the device.
switchport mode {access | trunk | hybrid}
no switchport mode {access| trunk | hybrid}
Access: Set the port to access mode. The port is set to access unconditionally and operates as a
nontrunking, single VLAN interface that sends and receives nonencapsulated (non-tagged) frames.
An access port can be assigned to only one VLAN.
Trunk: Set the port to trunk unconditionally. The port is a trunking VLAN Layer-2 interface. The port
sends and receives encapsulated (tagged) frames that identify the VLAN of origination. A trunk is a
point-to-point link between two switches or between a switch and a router.
Hibrid: This mode set the trunk in an hybrid mode witch means that the port acting as a trunk has a
default VLAN for all those packet witch arrive at the port untagged. Under this mode the user must
specify the untagged VLAN for all those arriving non tagged packets. Out going packet for the
specified VLAN ID will go out from this trunk in an untagged form.
Setting an interface into switched port mode access:
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
AsGa>config t Enter into configuration mode.
AsGa#interface ge1 Enter into interface ge1 configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# Now you are into the interface configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# swtchport mode access Put the interface into the accces switch port mode.
AsGa(interface)#end Exit from interface configuration mode.
AsGa# wr Save the configuration.
Setting an interface into switched port mode trunk:
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
AsGa>config t Enter into configuration mode
AsGa#interface ge1 Enter into interface ge1 configuration mode.
AsGa(interface)# Now you are into the interface configuration mode
AsGa(interface)# swtchport mode trunk Put the interface into the trunk switch port mode
AsGa(interface)#end Exit from interface configuration mode
AsGa# wr Save the configuration
3.13.3.1.1 Assigning a VLAN to an Access port
Use the “switchport access” interface configuration command to configure a port as a
VLAN assigned static-access port. If the mode is set to access, the port operates as a member of the
configured VLAN.
