Once you have created the VLAN with a unique name, you can then eliminate the
keyword
vlan
from all other commands that require the name to be entered. For
example, instead of entering the BlackDiamond switch command
config vlan engineering delete port 1:3,4:6
you could enter the following shortcut:
config engineering delete port 1:3,4:6
Similarly, on the Summit switch, instead of entering the command
config vlan engineering delete port 1-3,6
you could enter the following shortcut:
config engineering delete port 1-3,6

Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a BlackDiamond and
Alpine switch use the parameter
<portlist>
in the syntax. A
<portlist>
can be one
port on a particular slot. For example,
port 3:1
A <
portlist>
can be a range of numbers. For example,
port 3:1-3:3
You can add additional slot and port numbers to the list, separated by a comma:
port 3:1,4:8,6:10
You can specify all ports on a particular slot. For example,
port 3:*
indicates all ports on slot 3.
You can specify a range of slots and ports. For example,
port 2:3-4:5
indicates slot 2, port 3 through slot 4, port 5.
