Port String Syntax Used in the CLI

Commands requiring a port-string parameter use the following syntax to designate the type of port being configured, slot location the module containing the port is inserted into the chassis, and port number on the module containing the port:

port type.slot location.port number

Where port type can be:

Slot location for modules installed in a S- K- and 7100-Series chassis can be:
0 through the maximum number of slots in the chassis, with 0 designating virtual system ports (lag, vlan, host, loopback), and 1 designating the lowest module slot in the chassis.

Port number can be: Any port number on the module. The highest valid port number is dependent on the number of ports in a slot location and the port type.

For example:

If a module in slot 1 has 48, 1GbE front panel ports, and an uplink interface with 6 Mini GBICs, the range of port number designations used in the CLI command would be:

ge.1.1 through ge.1.48 for the 48 1GbE front panel ports, and
tg.1.1 through tg.1.6 for the 6 10GbE uplink ports.

If the uplink has the same type (ge) ports as the front panel, the numbering continues with the port number ge.1.49.

If the 7100-Series device has 48 10GbE front panel ports and 4 40GbE uplink ports, the range of port number designations used in the CLI command would be:

tg.1.1 through tg.1.48 for the 48 10GbE front panel ports, and
fg.1.1 through fg.1.4 for the 4 40GbE uplink ports.

Examples

You can use a wildcard (*) to indicate all of an item. For example, tg.1.* would represent all 10GbE ports in the module in slot 1.

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying the 1GbE port 14 in the module in chassis slot 3:

ge.3.14

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying ports 1, 3 and 11 in the module in chassis slot 1:

ge.1.1;ge.1.3;ge.1.11

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying ports 1, 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the module in chassis slot 1:

tg.1.1,tg.1.3,tg.1.7-10

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying the 10-GbE port 2 of the module in chassis slot 1:

tg.1.2

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying the Virtual Switch Bonding hardware interconnect port 2 of the module in chassis slot 1:

vsb.1.2

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying all 10GbE ports in the module in chassis slot 1:

tg.1.*

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying all 10-Gbps Ethernet ports in the chassis:

tg.*.*

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying all 40-Gbps Ethernet ports in the chassis:

fg.*.*

This example shows the port-string syntax for specifying all ports (of any interface type) in all modules in the chassis:

*.*.*
