Table 10-2) and insert the class name.

To define a class that a port automatically connects

Option Default Description

1. Class Name n/a Changes the name of this class. To rename a class, select this option and the

following prompt will appear:

ENTER CLASS NAME [name](^X TO ABORT):

Enter the desired class name. Press <cr>. To abort the process,

press ^X.

Class names can be up to eight characters long. Only letters (a to z, A to Z),

numbers (0 to 9), and the underscore symbol (_) can be used. The first two

characters must be letters. Names are not case-sensitive, so hp_acctg,

HP_ACCTG, and HP_Acctg are the same name.

2. Secondary Class 0 An alternate group of ports that will be searched should all ports in the primary

class name be unavailable. This is optional.

Note: This is not a subclass, but an alternative class.

The secondary class must be assigned within

the same hub as the primary class.

To designate a secondary class, select this option and the following prompt will

appear:

ENTER SECONDARY CLASS #[0]:

Enter the class number of the secondary class. Press <cr>. To delete a

secondary class, enter

The secondary class must be predefined as a primary class before being defined

as a secondary class.
