Nomenclature
When referring to an Ethernet port in a CLI command, the following format is used:
• For an Ethernet port on a standalone device: Ethernet_type port_number
• For an Ethernet port on a stacked device: unit_number/Ethernet_type port number
The Ethernet type is Fast Ethernet (indicated by “e”).
For example, and e3 stands for Fast Ethernet port 3 on a stand-alone device, whereas 1/e3 stands for Fast
Ethernet port 3 on stacking unit 1.
The ports may be described on an individual basis or within a range. Use format port number-port number to
specify a set of consecutive ports and port number, port number to indicate a set of non-consecutive ports. For
example, e1-3 stands for Ethernet ports 1, 2 and 3, and e1, 5 stands for Ethernet ports 1 and 5.
