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
