Port Numbers in Commands

Some of the commands in the AT-S63 Management Software are used to
configure or display the settings of the individual ports on the switches in
the stack. The ports are designated with the PORT parameter. Because a
stack has more than one switch, entering just a port number will obviously
not be enough. Instead, a port number must be preceded by the module
ID number of the switch in the stack with the port. Here is the format of the
parameter:

port=

module ID

.

port number

To view the module ID numbers of the switches in a stack, refer to “SHOW
STACK” on page 72.

This example specifies port 22 on the switch assigned module ID 1:

port=1.22

Most of the commands that have the PORT parameter let you specify
more than one port at a time. To identify individual ports, separate them
with a comma. This example specifies ports 1.12, 3.1 and 4.5:

port=1.12,3.1,4.5

You can also enter ranges:

port=4.12-4.16

Notice that the module ID number is included with the ending port number
of a range.

A range in the SHOW, ENABLE, and PURGE commands can span more
than one switch:

port=2.14-3.12

However, a range in a SET command cannot span two switches. Here is
an example of an invalid range for a SET command:

port=1.1-2.24

To correct this, you create a separate range for each switch:

port=1.1-1.24,2.1-2.24

Individual ports and ranges can be combined in the same command:

port=1.12,3.1,4.5,4.12-4.16
