1.1 Features
The XG1200 is a compact, 12-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch, which provides the world's highest level throughput and
least delay.
Special features of the XG1200 are shown below:
Item Function Features
Throughput 240Gbit/s
Latency 450ns (XENPAK latency not included)
Switching mode Either store-and-forward or cut-through is selectable.
MAC address learning table
size
8192 entries
MAC address learning SVL (Shared VLAN Learning), IVL (Independent VLAN Learning),
user selectable.
Jumbo frame support Up to 15KB.
Flow control IEEE802.3x compliant pause frame control. Possible to specify flow
control options for each port: send/receive or receive only.
Storm control Detects the broadcast storm status to prevent the traffic from
overflowing the network and avoid degrading overall system
performance.
Port security Possible to restrict port access based on a source MAC address.
Ingress rate control Supports by-port ingress rate control.
Port mirroring Possible to monitor the incoming/outgoing traffic by port mirroring.
Basic Switch Functions
Link pass through Possible to synchronize the link state of a monitored port with the
link state of a single or multiple ports.
Scalability Link aggregation
(Static and LACP)
Possible to increase bandwidth and redundancy. (Up to 6 ports for
each link).
Also supports IEE802.3ad LACP.
Redundancy IEEE802.1D STP,
IEEE802.1w RSTP
Possible to make redundant and loop-free network using Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (upward compatible with Spanning Tree
Protocol).
IEEE802.1Q VLAN Max. 128 groups.
Filtering Ingress/egress filtering
VLAN support
Multiple VLAN Possible to create multiple Tag-based VLAN, with user VLAN tag
identifier.
QoS IEEE802.1p QoS
DiffServ
Supports output queue priority control based on VLAN priority or
DSCP (DiffServ Code Point) of IPv4/IPv6.
Multi-cast support IGMP snooping Prevents unnecessary forwarding of multicast traffic to ports to
reduce unnecessary multicast traffic.
Traffic statistics Possible to analyze traffic and errors, using traffic statistics.Network Management
SNMP agent Can be used in conjunction with an SNMP manager, supporting
MIBs, including Standard MIB, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB.
Console by
serial/management LAN
The security of the XG1200 is maintained from the serial interface
or dedicated management LAN interface that is independent from
the 10 Gigabit ports.

2.1 Overview of the CLI
This section describes how to use the command line interface (CLI) for the XG Series.
2.1.1 Operating Environment for CLI
There are two ways to access the XG1200 to run commands. Up to 4 terminal sessions can access the XG1200 concurrently.
 Serial connection
Connect to the serial port of the XG1200 using RS232C cable.
The available terminal type is VT100.
When initially connecting a terminal to the XG1200, configure the serial port on the client side as shown below.
Item Setting value
Baud rate 9600 bps (can be changed)
Character size 8 bit
Parity None
Stop bits 1 bit
Flow control None
Emulation VT100
Character set ASCII
Line feed code Transmission: CR (carriage return) only
Reception: LF is added
The baud rate can be changed to one of 9600, 19200, 38400 and 57600 (bps) using the "baud-rate" command.
 Remote connection via management LAN port
Connect a terminal to the management LAN port of the XG1200 using a telnet client (TCP port of 23 is used for the
default telnet connection).
The following tables list the factory defaults.
Management LAN Interface initial settings
Item Setting value
IP address None (must be set when using the management
LAN)
Subnet address None (must be set when using the management
LAN)
Telnet server initial settings
Item Setting value
Use telnet Disable (can be changed)
Port number 23(TCP)
Emulation VT100/VT200/xterm
BackSpace key Delete
Character set ASCII
To use the remote connection via management LAN port, use the "management-lan ip" command to configure the
management LAN port for the XG1200 and use the "telnet-server" command to enable the telnet service.
VT100, VT200, and xterm can be used as a terminal.

2.1.2 Command Modes and Mode Switching
The following table shows a hierarchy of command modes and mode switching.
Command Modes and Prompt Text
(host name for XG1200: xg)
Outline
Operator class The initial-level operating mode entered upon logging into the
system.
Operator EXEC mode
Prompt: xg>
Allows access to commands that have no effect on the switch
operations.
With the XG1200, this mode is mainly used to view its status.
The prompt changes to "xg>".
Administrator class To enter this level, use the "enable" command in the operator class
or type the administrator's authentication password.
Administrator EXEC mode
Prompt: xg#
Allows users to perform operations that are related to the system
management of the XG1200, such as date/time setting and
firmware update, in addition to those operations that are performed
in the operator EXEC mode.
The prompt changes to "xg#".
Global configuration mode
Prompt: xg(config)#
To switch to the global configuration mode, enter the "configure
terminal" command in the administrator EXEC mode.
This mode allows the user to define the environment settings for
the XG1200 that are to be saved in a configuration file.
The prompt changes to "xg(config)#".
Interface edit mode
Prompt: xg(config-if)# or
xg(config-agg)#
To enter the interface edit mode, enter the "interface" command in
the global configuration mode.
This mode allows the user to configure each port of the switch.
The interface edit mode is represented by prompt "xg(config-if)#",
while the edit mode for a port that is created with link aggregation
function is represented by prompt "xg(config-agg)#".
Terminal edit mode
Prompt: xg(config-line)#
To enter the serial terminal edit mode, enter the "line console"
command in the global configuration mode.
The prompt changes to "xg(config-line)#".
Baud rate of the serial terminal and screen display size can be set.

Entering a specific command allows switching from one mode to another. Entering the "exit" command will always take you
back to the previous mode.
Entering "end" command or pressing [Ctrl] and [Z] simultaneously in the global configuration, interface edit or terminal edit
mode allows you to enter the administrator EXEC mode.
An example is given below.
Login: admin
password: ********
xg> enable
xg# configure terminal
xg(config)# interface port 1
xg(config-if)# exit
xg(config)# exit
xg# copy running-config startup-config
xg# exit
Switch to operator EXEC mode by performing a login operation.
By default, the login username is "admin" and password "password".
Use the "enable" command to switch to administrator EXEC mode.
Use the "configure terminal" command to switch to global
configuration mode.
Use the "interface" command to switch to interface edit mode.
Use the "exit" command to return to global configuration mode.
Use the "exit" command to return to administrator EXEC mode.
Copy the current configuration file in memory to the startup-config in
the nonvolatile memory.
User is logged out and session is disconnected.
 Multiple users can use the operator and administrator EXEC modes concurrently. (Up to 4 terminals)
 Only one terminal can switch to one of either global configuration, interface edit and terminal edit modes. It is not
possible for multiple terminals to simultaneously switch to global configuration mode.

2.1.3 startup-config and running-config
The XG1200 configuration information is saved to startup-config and running-config files.
This section describes the functions of the startup-config and running-config files.
 startup-config
Startup-config is the configuration file that stores the environment settings that are enabled upon XG1200 startup. The
startup-config is saved in non-volatile memory and read the next time the XG1200 begins to be used for the initial
settings on the operating environment.
 running-config
Running-config is a file stored in volatile memory that represents the operating environment of the system on which the
XG1200 is currently running. The information stored in the running-config will be lost when the system is restarted.
To reflect the system configuration that is active in the current running-config the next time the system is started, use
the "copy" command to save them to the startup-config file.
xg# copy running-config startup-config
The contents of the startup-config and running-config match immediately after the XG1200 is started.
 How to upload startup-config and running-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy"
command.
xg# show running-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
or
xg# show startup-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
 How to download startup-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy"
command.
xg# copy tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE startup-config
To enable the settings downloaded to startup-config, restart the XG1200 using the "reset" command.
 Be sure to upload the contents of the startup-config file to a TFTP server because the contents will be
overwritten.
 Refer to "Uploading/Downloading Configuration File" for details on uploading and downloading
configuration.

2.2 Using the CLI
2.2.1 How to Enter Commands
 Command Entry Format
Separate each command, subcommand and argument with a single space.
<command> <subcommand> <argument 1> <argument 2> ... (" " indicates a space.)
xg(config)# management-interface ip 192.168.1.10/24 default-gw 192.168.1.150
xg(config)# management-interface dns-server 192.168.1.150
 Characters that can be entered:
− Any letter (A-Z, a-z) and digit (0-9)
− Space (ASCII code: 0x20)
− Symbols: !, ". #, $, %, `, ', (, ), _, -, ~, ^, ¥, {, }, :, +, ,, ., @, =, [, ], &, *, ;, /, ?, |, >
Command and option separators are recognized by one or more space characters (ASCII code: 0x20). Enclose a
parameter in quotes if it contains a blank space.
The commands are not case-sensitive. Note that some entries (password, etc.) are case-sensitive.
2.2.2 Context-Sensitive Help
Entering a question mark "?" during command entry displays a list of commands available for each command mode. You can
also get a list of any command's associated keywords and parameters with the context-sensitive help.
 A list of commands that are available in the current mode
Entering a question mark "?" at the system prompt displays a list of commands and brief descriptions available for the
current command mode.
xg # ?
Exec commands:
boot-system Select system to restart
clear Reset functions
configure Enter configuration mode
copy Copy from one file to another
date Display or set current date-time
delete Delete local files
dir Display local files
:
(The rest is omitted.)
xg# _
 Word help
If you type a question mark "?" in the middle of a command name, the CLI lists possible command completions that
forward-match the letters you have typed. The prompt will show the letters that you typed. You only have to type in the
rest of the letters to complete the command entry.
xg # co?
Exec commands:
configure Enter configuration mode
copy Copy from one file to another
xg# co_
The CLI lists all possible commands that begin with "co".
 A list of options that are available in the current entry position
If you type a question mark "?" following a space after typing a command name, the CLI lists the names of commands
that can be entered at the current option position. For option 2 and 3 positions, the CLI also lists options that can be
entered at these positions. The prompt will show the letters that you typed. You only have to type in the rest of the
letters to complete the command entry.
xg# configure ?
terminal Configure from the terminal
xg# configure _
CLI lists possible options that follow the "configure" command.
The <cr> symbol appears in the list to indicate that you can execute the command without entering any subsequent
options. Parameters enclosed in square brackets can be omitted and, therefore, the <cr> symbol does not appear.

2.2.3 Command Completion
If you enter part of a command or option and press the [Tab] key, the CLI displays the remaining command or option
characters.
xg# con<TAB>
↓
xg# configure _
For example, the only command that begins with "con" is "configure", so the CLI completes the command name as "configure".
If you press the [TAB] key, the CLI lists all possible command or option names.
xg# co<TAB>
configure copy
xg# co_
Since there are two commands that begin with "co" - "configure" and "copy" - the CLI lists these two.
2.2.4 Command Abbreviation
Commands and options can be abbreviated to the minimum number of characters as long as command or option names are
unique and forward-match the entered letters.
xg# con t
For example, you can abbreviate the "configure" command to "con" because "configure" is the only command that begins with
"con", and "terminal" to "t" because "terminal" is the only command that begins with "t".
2.2.5 Command-Line Error Messages
The table below shows error messages that appear when you incorrectly enter a command. The "configure terminal" command
is used as an example below:
Error Message Explanation
xg# co t
% Ambiguous command: "co t" You did not enter enough characters for the CLI to
recognize the command.
Re-enter the correct command string.
xg# configure
% Incomplete command. You did not enter all of the options or values required by
this command entry.
Set all necessary options and values.
xg# configure aerminal
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker
You entered a command improperly. A caret symbol (^)
indicates the incorrect entry.
Change incorrect entries and execute the command
again.
xg# coc?
% Unrecognized command You typed part of a command that is not found with the
context-sensitive help.
Re-enter the correct command string.
2.2.6 Scrolling Down or Up a Line or a Page
When the information displayed by a command is wider than the console screen, a "--More--" prompt is displayed at the bottom
of the screen and the CLI waits for a user entry.
xg# show running-config
!
interface port 0
:
:
(The rest is omitted.)
:
--More--
 Scrolling Up a Line
To scroll up one line, press the [Enter] key.
 Scrolling Up a Page
To scroll up one page, press the [Space] bar.
 Finishing Displaying
To finish displaying, press the [q] or [Q] key.
The following table shows the combinations of shortcut keys, function keys or the [Ctrl] key used to edit commands.

For each login up to 100 lines of command history can be registered.
2.2.8 Aborting Command
An executing command can be aborted by pressing the [Ctrl]+[C]. Note that this key sequence may not be effective for some
commands.
2.2.9 No Form of Commands
Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, the no form is used to cancel the settings with a configuration
command or restore default values.
Type "no" before entering a command name.

2.2.10 Filtering show Command Output
This function allows you to filter show command outputs to extract the lines that satisfy specific conditions (filter for strings).
This function is useful in excluding unnecessary information from a large amount of output.
To use it, a "show" command must be followed by a keyword (pipe (|), begin, include or exclude) and a regular expression
(filtering condition).
Syntax
show | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
Keyword for filtering output Meaning
begin Begins output starting at the first line that matches given regular expression parameters.
exclude Displays output lines that do not contain those lines that match given regular expression
parameters.
include Displays output lines that match given regular expression parameters.
xg# show history | begin 2
...skipping
2 configure terminal
3 show running-config
4 show history
5 show history | begin 2
xg# show history | exclude 2
1 enable
3 show users
4 show history
xg# show history | include 2
2 configure terminal
5 show history | begin 2
Regular expressions are case sensitive.
For example, if you enter "| exclude strings", lines that include "String" are output, but those that include "strings" are not.
2.2.11 Redirecting show Command Output
You can redirect the output of "show" commands to a file in volatile memory using ">" or "| redirect".
Syntax (To redirect the output of a show command to a file in volatile memory:)
show > FILE-NAME
show | redirect FILE-NAME
 FILE-NAME
Specify a file name in the volatile memory to which the output of the command is redirected.
"| tftp" allows you to directly redirect the output of a show command to a file in a TFTP server.
Syntax (To directly redirect the output of a show command to a file in a TFTP server:)
show | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
 HOST
Specify a host name or IP address of the TFTP server.
 REMOTE-FILE
Specify the file name in the TFTP server to which the output of the command is redirected.
In the following example, the current startup-config is redirected as filename "startup_09302005", the running-config file is
redirected as filename "running_09302005", and system information is redirected as filename "system_09302005".
The results of the redirection are confirmed with the "ls" command.
Then, using the "tftp" command, each of these files is moved to the TFTP server.
xg# show startup-config > startup_09302005
xg# show running-config > running_09302005
xg# show system information > system_09302005
xg# ls
(ls command output)
Update-time File-size File-name
- 2005/09/30 11:57:27 872 system_09302005
- 2005/09/30 11:54:01 2,310 startup_09302005
- 2005/09/30 11:55:58 2,437 running_09302005
xg# tftp put remote-host1 startup_09302005 restore_startup_09302005
xg# tftp put remote-host1 running_09302005 restore_running_09302005
xg# tftp put remote-host1 system_09302005 restore_system_09302005
In the following example, show command output is directly redirected to TFTP server "remote-host1" using "| tftp".
xg# show startup-config | tftp remote-host1 restore_ startup_09302005
xg# show running-config | tftp remote-host1 restore_running_09302005
xg# show system information | tftp remote-host1 restore_system_09302005
