As an alternative method instead, you can highlight the field and then enter +2/9 [Return]. The existing field keeps the previous list and adds the new port number (2/9) between ports 2/7 and 3/14.

(If you choose to add port 2/8 to the existing port number list, the field accepts the new port 2/8 but shows the new port number list field as: 1/3,2/7-8,3/1-4.)

Removing a port from an existing port number list

To remove a port from the port number list, use the minus sign (-) character instead of the plus sign (+) character as described above.

Copying an existing field into and adjacent field

You can use the period (.) character to copy a previously entered field value into the field directly next to it. For example, to copy the Allowed Source S3 (shown in Figure 51 on page 115) into the next field (entry 6):

1Enter a MAC address into the next MAC address field.

2Highlight the (blank) Allowed Source field.

3Enter the period (.) character and click Return.

The port number list from the previous entry is copied into the new field.
