Specifying Modules and Ports
Specifying Modules and Ports
To configure one or more ports on one or more modules, specify the ports when you enter the
configuration submode. Many CLI commands allow you to enter the f ollowing:
•A slot#/port# pair.
•A range of pairs.
•A list of pairs.
•The all keyword.

Slot#/Port# Pairs

A slot#/port# pair (sometimes referred to as the card#/port# pair) is a slash-separated (/) pair of numbers.
The first number indicates the slot in which the interface mod ule resi des, and t he se co nd numbe r
represents a port on that module. See your hardware documentation to identify slot numbers and port
numbers.
Note With hardware platforms with no removable modules, such as the Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch Module
for IBM BladeCenter, or the Cisco SFS 7000, the slot number defaults to 1.

Ranges

A range is a dash-separated (-) set of two slot#/port# pairs. A range may span multiple modules of the
same interface type. Module and port numbers in a range must both appear in ascending order. That is,
specify the lower module and port number in the first slot#/port# pair and the higher module and port
number in the second slot#/port# pair.
Note Do not insert spaces between elements in the range.
The range 3/2-4/3 indicates all ports starting with module 3 , por t 2, up t o and inc ludi ng modul e 4 , an d
port 3. (This example assumes that modules 3 and 4 are of the s ame inter face type .)

Lists

A list is a comma-separated (,) series of slot#/port# pairs a nd/o r r ange s. Seq uenc ing of pai rs in the lis t
is not important. You may specify pairs in any order you wish; however, the data returned is displayed
in numerical sequence with the lowest slot#/port# pair first. Do not insert spaces between elements in
the list. For example, 3/1,3/3,4/3 indicates ports 1 and 3 on in te rface modu l e 3 a nd p ort 3 o n in terfa ce
module 4. (This example assumes that modules 3 and 4 are of the same interfac e type.) You can include
ranges in lists.
3/1,4/1-4/4,5/1
The preceding example assumes that modules 3, 4, and 5 are of the same interfac e typ e.
