CLI and RS Basics Naming RS Ports
For a port numbering example, the port name et.2.8 refers to a port on the Ethernet line card that is located in slot 2,
connector 8, while the port name gi.3.2 refers to a port on the Gigabit Ethernet line card located in slot 3, connector 2.
There are a few shortcut notations to reference a range of port numbers. For example:
et.(1-3).(1-8) references all the following ports: et.1.1 through et.1.8, et.2.1 through et.2.8, and et.3.1
through et.3.8.
et.(1,3).(1-8) references the following ports: et.1.1 through et.1.8, and et.3.1 through et.3.8
et.(1-3).(1,8) references the following ports: et.1.1, et.1.8, et.2.1, et.2.8, et.3.1, et.3.8
3.7.4 Channel Number
Channel number is the number assigned to the timeslots or T1 lines in a connector, available only for Channelized T1,
E1, and T3 interfaces. For Channelized T1 and E1, and fractional T1 and E1 interfaces, it is a timeslot. For Channelized
T3 interfaces, it is a T1 line.
Specify a single channel number, a comma-separated list of channel numbers, or a range of channel numbers. For a
channel range, specify a start-channel and an end-channel. The end-channel value must be greater than the
start-channel value.
For other port types, including unchannelized T1 and E1, omit <channel-number> and the preceding colon (:). The
<vc> parameter is still permitted. See Table 3 -4.
The following examples show the different channel specifications for T1:
t1.3.2:5-8
t1.3.1:(1-4,6,7)
