13-8 CHAPTER 13: CONFIGURING ADDRESS AND PORT GROUPS TO USE IN PACKET FILTERS

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

Warning: Selected address was already a member of the address group

OR

Error: Port grp - no error for the current software

For address groups, 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 additional address.

Address group example

The point at which the system runs out of room for additional addresses depends on:

The number of addresses currently in the address table.

The number of unique addresses configured across all address groups on the system. (Each statically configured address and each unique address assigned to one or more address groups consumes one address storage location.)

For port groups, entering an invalid port specification results in error messages, similar to those described on page 15-5.

In the example, two additional addresses are added to the Development address group.

Select address group to be modified [1-4]: 2

Adding addresses to group 2 - Development

Enter the addresses to be added - type q to return to the menu: Address: 08-21-42-62-98-ab

Address: 08-37-21-65-78-c4

Address: q
