Viewing Information on Ports in a Group

The via command allows you to view port attachments associated with a specified Group or
all Groups in a switch. Entering
via
displays summary information for all virtual ports in the switch. You can also display virtual
interface attachments for a specific Group by specifying the Group ID after the via command.
For example, to view ports for Group 2, you would enter
via 2
The same type of information is displayed for a single Group as is displayed for all Groups.
The following screen shows a sample from the via command when specified without a Group
ID.

GROUP: Slot/Intf. GROUP is the group number to which this port is assigned. When the Group
displays as a Group number followed by a decimal and a 1 (1.1 and 2.1 in the above sample),
it represents the router port on the default VLAN within that Group. Slot is the position in the
chassis of the switching module where this port is located. Intf (Interface) is the physical port
on the switching module. When the Slot and Interface are shown as an asterisk (*)—as the
top two entries in the above table display—it represents as virtual router port that does not
have a corresponding physical interface.
Description. The textual description entered for either the virtual router port or the virtual
switch port. This description was entered through crgp or modvl for virtual router ports, or
through crgp, addvp, or modvp for virtual switch ports.
Service/Instance. Service is the service type configured for this port. Instance is an identifier of
this service type within the switch. For example, multiple virtual router ports within the
switch will be labelled consecutively (1, 2, 3, etc.), and will each have a different Instance
number.
Values for the service type are as follows:
