Specifying Port Numbers
Each port number on the Passport switch consists of a slot number and a position
number in the format
<slot>/<position>. The slot number identifies the chassis
slot containing the I/O module with that port. The position number identifies the
position of the port on the I/O module. Chassis slots are numbered from the top
down, and ports are numbered generally from left to right beginning with 1 for the
far left port. On high-density modules with two rows of ports, such as the Passport
8148TX module, ports in the top row are assigned sequential odd numbers, and
ports in the bottom row are assigned sequential even numbers (Figure 3-1
).
Figure 3-1. Port Numbers on High-Density Modules
MDA ports are numbered as a continuation of the ports on the module, and port
numbers on an MDA are in ascending order from left to right. For example, the far
left MDA port in a Passport 8132TX module is port 33. Gigabit MDAs with
redundant PHYs are regarded as a single port.
To specify a list of port numbers, separate individual port numbers with commas.
For example:
3/4,7/22,10/47
To specify a range of ports, type the low port number in the range, a dash, and
then the high port number in the range. For example:
3/4-3/16
For more information about port numbering as well as MAC addressing, refer to
Getting Started with the Passport 8100 Management Software.
Note: Spaces are not allowed in port lists or ranges.
