Option Default Description
1. Class Name n/a Changes the name of this class. To rename a class, select this option and the
following prompt will appear:
ENTER CLASS NAME [name](^X TO ABORT):
Enter the desired class name. Press <cr>. To abort the process,
press ^X.
Class names can be up to eight characters long. Only letters (a to z, A to Z),
numbers (0 to 9), and the underscore symbol (_) can be used. The first two
characters must be letters. Names are not case-sensitive, so hp_acctg,
HP_ACCTG, and HP_Acctg are the same name.
2. Secondary Class 0 An alternate group of ports that will be searched should all ports in the primary
class name be unavailable. This is optional.
Note: This is not a subclass, but an alternative class.
The secondary class must be assigned within
the same hub as the primary class.
To designate a secondary class, select this option and the following prompt will
appear:
ENTER SECONDARY CLASS #[0]:
Enter the class number of the secondary class. Press <cr>. To delete a
secondary class, enter
0. To abort the process, press ^X.
The secondary class must be predefined as a primary class before being defined
as a secondary class.
