Basic Switch Configuration Procedures
Once the hexadecimal is converted into a binary bit map, each bit represents a port, where a value of 1 means yes and a value of 0 means no. The bit map is read from right to left, that is, the least significant bit represents port 0.
For example, if the member port value is displayed in hex as:
0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 3 |
|
0000 |
| 0000 | 0000 | 0001 | 0010 | 0000 | 1000 | 0011 |
This corresponds to a binary bit map of the member ports as follows:
This bit map displays the member ports as port 0, 1, 7, 13, and 16. Each switch has a hidden internal port (in the example above port 16) that is always a member of a broadcast group.
