Modifying a Virtual Port
You can modify a virtual port through the modvp command. The modvp command is very
similar to the addvp command and the port configuration phase of the crgp command. To use
modvp , enter the command, followed by the Group number for the port, and the physical slot
and port number for the port:
modvp <Group Number for port> <Module Slot>/<Port Number>
You can specify only one port at a time. For example, if you wanted to modify the parame-
ters for Port 7 on the module in Slot 4, and the Port currently resides in Group 6, then you
would enter:
modvp 6 4/7
The procedure for using modvp is as follows:
1. Enter modvp followed by the Group number where the port currently resides, the physi-
cal slot and port number.
2. A prompt displays requesting your confirmation:
Modify local port 7 (Virtual port (#14)) ? (y) :
Simply press <Enter> if this is the correct virtual port. The Virtual Port number in parenthe-
ses ( Virtual Port #14 in this case) is the virtual port number within this entire Omni
Switch/Router. Virtual ports are numbered sequentially within the switch, not within a
Group or
VLAN .
3. The virtual port configuration menu displays:
