Keywords

port [port_number]

 

 

Initiates an edit session in which to change configuration parameters for the port

 

number given by [port_number]. If you omit [port_number], the system begins with

 

port 0 and proceeds in order through the last port. For each parameter, enter a

 

new value or press the Enter key to accept the current value shown in brackets.

 

Enter “q” to cancel the configuration for one port, or “qq” to cancel the

 

configuration for all ports. Table B-7describes the port parameters.

 

ports [port_number]

 

 

Initiates an editing session in which to change configuration parameters for all

 

ports based on the configuration for the port given by [port_number]. If you omit

 

[port_number], port 0 is used. For each parameter, enter a new value or press the

 

Enter key to accept the current value shown in brackets. Enter “q” to cancel the

 

configuration. Table B-7describes the port parameters.
