Adding Virtual Ports
You can add virtual ports to a Group at any time after the Group is created. The addvp
command allows you to add one or more ports to a Group you specify. If you have used the
crgp command to add virtual ports, then you will find the addvp command fields very famil-
iar.
To use
addvp, enter the command followed by the Group number to which you want to add
the port. Next, specify the port or ports you want to add.
addvp <Group Number for port> <Module Slot>/<Port Number>
For example, if you wanted to add ports 4 through 6 on the module in slot 4 to Group #5,
then you would specify:
addvp 5 4/4-6
The procedure for using addvp is as follows:
1. Enter
addvp followed by the Group number where you want this port to reside, followed
by the physical slot and port numbers you want to configure.
2. If you enter a port that is already assigned to another Group, then you will be prompted
on whether or not you want to change its assignment. A message similar to the following
displays for each port that you enter:
4/4 - This interface has already been assigned to GROUP 1 -
(Default GROUP #1).
Do you wish to remove it from that GROUP and assign it (with
new configuration values) to this GROUP (n)?
Simply enter a y at each port prompt to change its Group assignment and begin setting
port parameters. You could also enter a c at this prompt to accept all default port parame-
ters and skip port configuration questions. If you enter a c, all remaining ports are auto-
matically added to the Group with default settings, and your work is complete.
3. The virtual port configuration menu displays:

Descriptions for each of the fields in this display begin on page 19-29. To change any
default value, enter the line number for the item, an equal sign (=), and then the value for
the parameter. When you have completed the configuration for this port, enter save to
save all configured settings.
