Port Numbering
The XCM8800 software runs on both stand-alone and modular switches, and the port
numbering scheme is slightly different on each.
Note: The keyword all acts on all possible ports; it continues on all ports
even if one port in the sequence fails.
Numerical Ranges
On the NETGEAR 8800 switch, the port number is a combination of the slot number and the
port number. The nomenclature for the port number is as follows:
slot:port
For example, if an I/O module that has a total of four ports is installed in slot 2 of the chassis,
the following ports are valid:
• 2:1
• 2:2
• 2:3
• 2:4
You can also use wildcard combinations (*) to specify multiple modular slot and port
combinations. The following wildcard combinations are allowed:
• slot:*—Specifies all ports on a particular I/O module.
• slot:x-slot:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
• slot:x-y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports on a particular I/O module.
• slota:x-slotb:y—Specifies a contiguous series of ports that begin on one I/O module
and end on another node.
