Specifying Ports in the Command Line Interface

The command line interface of the Local, Telnet, and SSH management
methods gives you the ability to configure all the features and parameters
on the switch. Many of the commands have the PORT parameter, which
you use to identify the networking ports on the switch. This parameter has
the following format:

Figure 39. PORT Parameter in the Command Line Interface

The first number is the switch’s stack ID number. This number is always 1
for FS970M Series switches because they are not stacking switches.

The slot ID value, which is used to specify slot numbers in a multi-module
chassis, also does not apply to the FS970M Series switches and is always
0.

The third value is a port number on the switch. You may specify only one
port number in a PORT parameter, but you may specify more than one
PORT parameter in many of the commands where the parameter is
supported.

Here is an example of the PORT parameter. It uses the INTERFACE
command to enter the Port Interface mode for ports 15 and 17:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15,port1.0.17

You can also specify port ranges. This example displays the port settings
for ports 21 to 23:

awplus# show interface port1.0.21-port1.0.23

Note that you must include the prefix “port1.0.” in the last number of a
range.

You can also combine individual ports and port ranges in the same
command, as illustrated in these commands, which enter the Port
Interface mode for ports 5 to 11 and ports 16 and 18:
