Port List Syntax
When you enter a port list in a stack configuration, you must specify either a
unit/port number list, NONE, or ALL. In a stack configuration, ALL indicates all
of the stack ports; in a standalone switch, ALL indicates all of the switch ports.
A unit/port number list is composed of one or more list items, each of which can
be a single number or a range of numbers (where the number represents one or
more ports). If a list item is preceded by a number and then a slash (/), the number
represents a stack unit.
For example, 1/1-7,2/1-7,2/9,3/1-4,4/12 is a valid unit/port number list (see entry
S1 in Figure 3-13
on page 3-32).
It represents the following port order:
Unit 1: ports 1 to 7
Unit 2: ports 1 to 7 and port 9
Unit 3: ports 1 to 4
Unit 4: port 12.
See
Accelerator Keys for Repetitive Tasks following this section for more
information about creating port lists.
Accelerator Keys for Repetitive Tasks
You can use certain keystrokes as accelerator keys to help speed up repetitive
tasks. For example, suppose you want to modify the Port List field in the MAC
Address Security Port List screen (Figure 3-13
on page 3-32). You can modify the
port list in any of the following ways:
Add a new port to an existing port number list
Remove a port from an existing port number list
Copy an existing field into an adjacent field
Note:
NONE and ALL must be entered in uppercase characters as shown in
the screen prompt.
