Port Numbering
ExtremeWare XOS runs on both stand-alone and modular switches, and the port numbering scheme is
slightly different on each. This section cover the following topics:
â—Ź Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges on page 112
â—Ź Modular Switch Numerical Ranges on page 112
Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges
On a stand-alone switch, such as the Summit X450 switch, the port number is simply noted by the
physical port number, as shown below:
5
Separate the port numbers by a dash to enter a range of contiguous numbers, and separate the numbers
by a comma to enter a range of noncontiguous numbers:
● x-y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a stand-alone switch.
● x,y—Specifies a non contiguous series of ports on a stand-alone switch.
● x-y,a,d—Specifies a contiguous series of ports and a series of noncontagious ports on a stand-alone
switch.
Modular Switch Numerical Ranges
On a modular switch, such as the BlackDiamond 10K, the port number is a combination of the slot
number and the port number. The nomenclature for the port number is as follows:
slot:port
For example, if an I/O module that has a total of four ports is installed in slot 2 of the chassis, the
following ports are valid:
â—Ź 2:1
â—Ź 2:2
â—Ź 2:3
â—Ź 2:4
You can also use wildcard combinations (*) to specify multiple modular slot and port combinations. The
following wildcard combinations are allowed:
● slot:*—Specifies all ports on a particular I/O module.
● slot:x-slot:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
● slot:x-y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
● slota:x-slotb:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports that begin on one I/O module and end on
another I/O module.
