46 Port Commands
NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
Syntax set port-group name group-name port-list mode {on | off}
Defaults Once configured, a group is enabled by default.
Access Enabled.
Usage Do not use dashes or hyphens in a port group name. If you do, WSS Software will not
display or save the port group.
You can configure up to 16 ports in a port group, in any combination of ports. The port numbers do not need to
be contiguous and you can use 10/100 Ethernet ports and gigabit Ethernet ports in the same port group.
After you add a port to a port group, you cannot configure port parameters on the individual port. Instead,
change port parameters on the entire group. Specify the group name instead of an individual port name or
number in port configuration commands.
To add or remove ports in a group that is already configured, change the mode to off, add or remove the ports,
then change the mode to on.
Examples The following command configures a port group named server1 containing ports 1
through 5, and enables the link:
WSS# set port-group name server1 1-5 mode on
success: change accepted.
The following commands disable the link for port group server1, change the list of ports in the group, and
reenable the link:
WSS# set port-group name server1 1-5 mode off
success: change accepted.
WSS# set port-group name server1 1-4,7 mode on
success: change accepted.
