Many CLI commands allow you to enter

•a card (or slot)#/port# pair

•a range of pairs

•a list of pairs

•or the keyword, “ all”.

Card/Port pairs

A card#/port# (sometimes referred to as the slot#/port#) pair is a slash-separated (/) pair of numbers.

The first number indicates the interface card and the second number is a port on that interface.

Ranges

A range is a dash-separated (-) set of two card#/port# pairs.

•A range may span multiple cards.

•Card and port numbers in a range must both be in ascending order. That is, specify the lower card number in the first card#/port# pair and the higher card number in the second card#/port# pair.

•Do not insert spaces between elements in the range.

For example:

3/2-4/3 indicates all the ports starting at card 3, port 2, up to and including card 4, port 3. (This example assumes that cards 3 and 4 are of the same interface type.)

On the HP Fabric Switch:

2/2-2/4

indicates ports 2 through 4 on card 2.

Lists

A list is a comma-separated (,) set of two or more card#/port# pairs.

•Sequencing of pairs in the list is not important. You may specify pairs in any order you wish, however, the data returned is displayed in numerical sequence with the lowest card#/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 interface card 3 and port 3 on interface card 4. (This example assumes that cards 3 and 4 are of the same interface type.)

The “all” Keyword

The all keyword indicates all the ports of all the cards of a specific type of interface. That is, all HP Fabric interface cards.
