all the addresses or ports.
Enter the addresses in MAC format as:
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
Enter the ports in the syntax:
< Ethernet | E | FDDI | F > [port] < port number >
As you enter each address or port, the system attempts to add it to each of
the modules on which the group is loaded. If the address or port you enter
is already a member of the group, a message is displayed, as shown below,
and the address or port is ignored.
Error: Address already in address group.
OR
Error: Port already in port group
For an address group, if any of the modules fail to accept the additional
address, the address is not added to the group and an error message is
displayed as follows:
Error: No room in group for an additional address.
When this message occurs, the specified address is ignored and creation of
the address group stops. All addresses entered up to the last address are
added to the group and the group is loaded on the selected module(s).
If you enter an invalid port name, the port is not added to the group, and
you receive one of the following error messages:
Error: No port type specified for the port.
Error: No port number specified for the port.
The correct format is < Ethernet | E | FDDI | F > [port] <
port number >
Specified port number is invalid.
Valid FDDI port for this group is 1 or 2.
