TERMINAL SERVERS

PORT AUTHORIZED GROUPS (privileged , 4- and 8-port models only)

{SET

}

{DEFINE} PORT AUTHORIZED [GROUPS]{

group-list

}{ENABLED}

{CHANGE}

{ALL

}{DISABLED}

This is a privileged command that enables you to authorize groups of LAT

service nodes to be available to the port. The default is group 0 ENABLED
and all other groups DISABLED. To enable or disable all groups for the port,
specify ALL.

group-list

One or more decimal codes ranging in value from 0 to 255, each

representing a LAT group code. Multiple codes may be indicated by
specifying a range of ascending numbers, by using commas between
individual numbers, or a combination of both. For example, the group list 1,
3, 5-8, 14 specifies groups 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 14.

ENABLED/DISABLED

ENABLED or DISABLED adds groups or removes groups from the existing

list for the port. To set a new list, specify the

group-list

value.
