Switch Ports; Port String Syntax Used In The Cli - Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Manual

Port Configuration Summary

Switch Ports

The Matrix Series modules and standalone devices have fixed front panel switch ports and,
depending on the model, optional expansion module slots. The numbering scheme used to
identify the switch ports on the front panel and the expansion module(s) installed is interface‐type
dependent and is also dependent upon the chassis in which the module(s) are installed.

Port String Syntax Used in the CLI

Commands requiring a port‐string parameter use the following syntax to designate port type, slot
location, and port number:
port type.slot location.port number
Where port type can be:
fe for 100‐Mbps Ethernet
ge for 1‐Gbps Ethernet
tg for 10‐Gbps Ethernet
com for COM (console) port
host for the host port
vlan for vlan interfaces
lag for IEEE802.3 link aggregation ports
lpbk for loopback interfaces, or
lo for the local (software loopback) interface
bp for FTM1 backplane ports
pc for the internal ports which connect to the on‐board processor of an installed Matrix Security
Module
rtr for router interface
Slot location for modules installed in a Matrix N7 or E7 chassis can be:
0 through 7, with 0 designating virtual system ports (lag, vlan, host, loopback), and 1 designating
the left‐most module slot in the chassis.
Slot location for modules installed in a Matrix N3 or N5 chassis can be:
0 through 3 or 0 through 5, 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 in a slot location. 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, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet front panel ports, and an uplink interface with
6 Mini GBICs, the range of port number designations used in the CLI command would be:
fe.1.1 through fe.1.48 for the 48 100Mbps Fast Ethernet front panel ports, and
ge.1.1 through ge.1.6 for the 6 Mini GBIC uplink ports.
If the uplink has the same type (fe) ports as the front panel, the numbering continues with the port
number fe.1.49.
Examples
This example shows the port‐string syntax for specifying the 100‐Mbps Ethernet ports 1 through 10
in the module in chassis slot 1.
4-2 Port Configuration
Note: You can use a wildcard (*) to indicate all of an item. For example, fe.3.* would represent all
100Mbps Ethernet (fe) ports in the module in slot 3.
