Port List Syntax

When you enter a port list in a stack configuration, you must specify either a unit/port number list, NONE, or ALL. In a stack configuration, ALL indicates all of the stack ports; in a standalone switch, ALL indicates all of the switch ports.

Note: NONE and ALL must be entered in uppercase characters as shown in the screen prompt.

A unit/port number list is composed of one or more list items, each of which can be a single number or a range of numbers (where the number represents one or more ports). If a list item is preceded by a number and then a slash (/), the number represents a stack unit.

For example, 1/1-7,2/1-7,2/9,3/1-4,4/12 is a valid unit/port number list (see entry S1 in Figure 3-13 on page 3-32).

It represents the following port order:

•Unit 1: ports 1 to 7

•Unit 2: ports 1 to 7 and port 9

•Unit 3: ports 1 to 4

•Unit 4: port 12.

See “Accelerator Keys for Repetitive Tasks” following this section for more information about creating port lists.

Accelerator Keys for Repetitive Tasks

You can use certain keystrokes as “accelerator keys” to help speed up repetitive tasks. For example, suppose you want to modify the Port List field in the MAC Address Security Port List screen (Figure 3-13 on page 3-32). You can modify the port list in any of the following ways:

•Add a new port to an existing port number list

•Remove a port from an existing port number list

•Copy an existing field into an adjacent field
