Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking

Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface

The command line interface in the management software on the switch has a parameter that you use to specify the individual ports. The parameter is the PORT parameter and Figure 15 shows its format.

port1.0.n

Stack ID

Module ID

Port Number

Figure 15. PORT Parameter in the Command Line Interface

The first number is the switch’s ID number. The ID numbers of switches in a stack are displayed on their ID LEDs. You can also view the ID numbers with the SHOW STACK command in the command line interface.

The module ID value is used with multi-module products. This value does not apply to the x510 Series switches and should always be 0.

The third value is a port number on the switch. You may specify only one port number in a PORT parameter, but you may specify more than one PORT parameter in many of the commands where the parameter is supported.

Here is an example of the PORT parameter. It uses the INTERFACE command to enter the Port Interface mode for ports 15 and 17 on the switch with ID 2:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal

awplus(config)# interface port2.0.15,port2.0.17

For instructions on the command line interface and the PORT parameter, refer to the Software Reference: AlliedWare Plus Operating System for IX5-28GPX Switches.
