Hardware features

Port regions

Ports on the NetIron CES 2000 and NetIron CER 2000 Series devices are grouped into regions. For

a few features, such as port monitoring and unknown unicast configurations, you will need to know

the region to which a port belongs. However, for most features, a port’s region does not affect

configuration or operation of the feature. If a port’s region does affect configuration or operation of

a feature, it is noted and described in the appropriate feature section of this guide.
