Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch
Adding a New Port to an Existing Port Number List:
In the example shown in Figure 3-13 on page 3-34, S3 shows the Port List field
values as:
1/3,2/7,3/1-4
If you want to add another port (for example, port 2/9) to the existing port number
list, you could highlight the field and then type another port list, including the new
port number: 1/3,2/7,2/9, 3/1-4 [Enter].
This works but is quite time consuming.
Instead, you can highlight the field, and then enter +2/9 [Enter]. The existing field
keeps the previous list, and adds the new port number (2/9) between ports
2/7 and 3/14.
(If you had chosen to add port 2/8 to the existing port number list, the field accepts
the new port 2/8 but shows the new port number list field as: 1/3,2/7-8,3/1-4.)
Removing a Port from an Existing Port Number List:
To remove a port from the port number list, use the minus sign (-) character
instead of the plus sign (+) character as described above.
Copying an Existing Field into an Adjacent Field:
You can use the period (.) character to copy a previously entered field value into
the field directly next to it. For example, to copy the Allowed Source S3 (shown in
Figure 3-15 on page 3-38) into the next field (entry 6):
1.
2.
3.
The port number list from the previous entry is copied into the new field.
3-36
Enter a MAC address into the next MAC Address field.
Highlight the (blank) Allowed Source field.
Enter the period character (.) and press [Enter].
