Creating New Groups 13-5

Address group example

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, the system displays a message, as shown next, and the address or port is ignored.

Warning: Selected address was already a member of the

address group.

For an address group, 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 an additional address.

When this message occurs, the specified address is ignored and creation of the address group stops. All addresses entered up to the last address are added to the group and the group is loaded on the system.

If you enter an invalid port name, the port is not added to the group, and you receive one of the following error messages:

Error: No port type specified for the port.

Error: No port number specified for the port.

The correct format is < Ethernet E FDDI F > [port] < port number >

Specified port number is invalid.

Valid FDDI port for this group is 1 or 2.

In this example, a new address group is created and loaded on the system. The address group mask for the group is 5 and the name of the group is Marketing. Two Ethernet addresses are entered and assigned to the group.

Select a bit in the address group mask [3-8, 14-32]: 5

Enter the address group name: Marketing
