Port Lists Definition in the GigaVUE‑OS

Many CLI commands require that you specify a port list—port-filters, maps, and so on. The GigaVUE‑OS observes a standard convention for port lists—you can use one or more of the following separated by commas—no spaces or tabs are allowed:

port-id <bid/sid/pid>

port-alias <port-alias>

■

The port-list argument lets you select multiple non-contiguous ports. To enter port IDs in a list, simply put a comma between each port ID in the list.

■

The <bid/sid/pid_x..pid_y> argument lets you select a series of adjacent ports (for example, 1/5/x4..x6 selects port x4..x6 on slot 5.

Note: Port ranges must be specified separately for 10Gb-capable and 1Gb ports. You cannot create a single range including both. For example, the PRT-H00-X12G04 card includes ports x1..x12 and ports g1..g4, but you cannot create a series that spans from 1/1/x1 to 1/1/g4. Instead, you must create two series: 1/1/x1..x12 and 1/1/g1..g4.

■

GigaSMART load balancing port groups can have ports with different rates.

■

You can mix a port-id with a port-alias and a port-list so long as they are separated by commas and no spaces. For example, 1/5/x4..x6,myalias,1/4/x2..x4 is a valid port-list.

■

In some commands, the port-list includes a GigaStream alias, an inline-network alias, or an inline-network-group alias.

Examples

The port list conventions make it easy to connect multiple network ports or tool ports, for example:

Command

Comments

(config) # map-passall alias mymap (config map-passall alias mymap) # from 1/1/x1

(config map-passall alias mymap) # to 1/4/x6..x8

Creates a map that connects port 1/1/x1 to ports 1/4/x6, 1/4/x7, and 1/4/x8 with an alias of mymap.

Port Numbering/Speeds

The CLI uses lowercase notation to refer to ports (g1, x4, q1, and c1). The port numbering refers to the following speeds:

■

g—10/100/1000 ports

■

x—10Gb ports

■

q—40Gb ports

■

c—100Gb ports
