13-8 CHAPTER 13: CONFIGURING ADDRESS AND PORT GROUPS TO USE IN PACKET FILTERS
Enter the ports in this syntax:
< Ethernet | E | FDDI | F > [port] < port number >
As you enter each address or port, the system attempts to add it to the
group.
If the address or port you enter is already a member of the group, a
message is displayed, as shown next, and the address or port is ignored.
Warning: Selected address was already a member of the
address group
OR
Error: Port grp - no error for the current software
For address groups, if the system fails to accept the additional address,
the address is not added to the group and an error message is displayed as
follows:
Error: No room in group for additional address.
The point at which the system runs out of room for additional addresses
depends on:
■ The number of addresses currently in the address table.
■ The number of unique addresses configured across all address groups on
the system. (Each statically configured address and each unique address
assigned to one or more address groups consumes one address storage
location.)
For port groups, entering an invalid port specification results in error
messages, similar to those described on page 15-5.
Address group

address group.
