Modular Switch and SummitStack Numerical Ranges

On modular switches, such as the BlackDiamond 8800 series or a SummitStack, the port number is a combination of the slot number and the port number.

The nomenclature for the port number is as follows:

slot:port

Example

If an I/O module that has a total of four ports is installed in slot 2 of the chassis, the following ports are valid:

You can also use wildcard combinations (*) to specify multiple modular slot and port combinations. The following wildcard combinations are allowed:

slot:*—Specifies all ports on a particular I/O module.
slot:x-slot:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
slot:x-y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
slota:x-slotb:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports that begin on one I/O module or SummitStack node and end on another node.
