Single port Unit 1 Port 4 1:4
Unit 2 Port 6 2:6
Range of ports with no gaps Unit 3 Ports 5-10 3:5-3:10 *
Unit 3 Port 5 - Unit 4 Port 8 3:5-4:8
Range of ports with gaps Unit 1 Ports 3-5 and Unit 2 Ports 8-10 1:3-5,2:8-10
* Note that 3:5-10 is also permitted; the second unit ID in a range is optional if
the same as the first unit ID.
Important notes:
You need to use the unit:port notation even if there is only a single Switch in
the stack (the unit ID is 1). You cannot enter the port number only.
These ranges can be used with shortened command forms to produce
powerful single line commands when using the comma separated list syntax.
For example, to disable ports 13-24 on all units in a stack of 4 Switches can
be shortened to:
phy eth portstate 1:13-24,2:13-24,3:13-24,4:13-24 disable
If you enter a port, or a range where some ports are not a valid selection, a
message "x:x" is not a valid selection." is returned. All ports or port
ranges that you enter must be valid for the command to apply.
