Configuring the Ports
Console version
After you have configured the Switch's system parameters and password, you can configure individual ports.
Important:
Fast Ethernet ports are numbered from 1 through 24.
●
If installed, Gigabit uplink modules are numbered 25 and 26.●
Modelname switch ports are numbered from 27 and above based on the Stacking Interface slot they are
connected to on the BitStorm L3S-T master. As you face the master's rear panel, the management
software assigns port numbers starting with ports connected in the right slot, then the middle, and finally
the left.
●
To save time, you can set configuration options for a group of ports or all the ports on your Switch at one
time. You can specify ports by entering a single number, multiple individual numbers or a range of
numbers in the port_number field.
Use a dash to separate numbers in a range.
❍
Use commas to separate individual numbers or more than one range of numbers.❍
For example, entering the command >set port disable 1-3,5,9,12-15 disables ports 1,2, and 3, 5,
9, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
❍
●
Before you begin:
Check the factory defaults to see whether they need to be changed.●
Check a port's current settings using the >show port commands.●
