Nortel Networks 10BASE-T manual Adding a New Port to an Existing Port Number List

Using the Console Interface

Adding a New Port to an Existing Port Number List:

In the example shown in Figure 3-13 on page 3-33, S3 shows the Port List field values as:

1/3,2/7,3/1-4

If you want to add another port (for example, port 2/9) to the existing port number list, you could highlight the field and then type another port list, including the new port number: 1/3,2/7,2/9, 3/1-4 [Enter].

This works but is quite time consuming.

Instead, you can highlight the field, and then enter +2/9 [Enter]. The existing field keeps the previous list, and adds the new port number (2/9) between ports

2/7 and 3/14.

(If you had chosen 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 an 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 3-15 on page 3-37) into the next field (entry 6):

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

2.Highlight the (blank) Allowed Source field.

3.Enter the period character (.) and press [Enter].

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