Modifying a Virtual Port
You can modify a virtual port through the modvp command. The modvp command is very
similar to the addvp command and the port configuration phase of the crgp command. To use
modvp, enter the command, followed by the Group number for the port, and the physical slot
and port number for the port:
modvp <Group Number for port> <Module Slot>/<Port Number>
You can specify only one port at a time. For example, if you wanted to modify the parame-
ters for Port 7 on the module in Slot 4, and the Port currently resides in Group 6, then you
would enter:
modvp 6 4/7
The procedure for using modvp is as follows:
1. Enter modvp followed by the Group number where the port currently resides, the physi-
cal slot and port number.
2. A prompt displays requesting your confirmation:
Modify local port 7 (Virtual port (#14)) ? (y) :
Simply press <Enter> if this is the correct virtual port. The Virtual Port number in parenthe-
ses (Virtual Port #14 in this case) is the virtual port number within this entire Omni
Switch/Router. Virtual ports are numbered sequentially within the switch, not within a
Group or VLAN.
3. The virtual port configuration menu displays:
