If you repeatedly insert and remove different subcards or interface cards to create or delete a large
number of logical interfaces, the interface indexes will be used up, which will result in interface creation
failures. To avoid such a case, you can clear all 16-bit interface indexes saved but not used in the current
system in user view.
After the preceding operation,
•
For a re-created interface, the new interface index might not be consistent with the original one.
•
For existing interfaces, their interface indexes remain unchanged.
Follow these steps to clear the 16-bit interface indexes not used in the current system:
To do…
Use the command…
Remarks
Clear the 16-bit interface indexes
saved but not used in the current
system
reset unused porttag
Required
Available in user view.
CAUTION:
A confirmation is required when you execute this command. If you fail to make a confirmation within 30
seconds or enter N to cancel the operation, the command will not be executed.

lists of the commonly used pluggable transceivers. They can be further divided into optical
transceivers and electrical transceivers based on transmission medium.
