Switch model interface definitions for the **ACM** **BMP** **Switch** **Model** **Interface** **Defs** list merit further description. A column titled **Interfaces** provides the location for specifying the ranges of ports for initial bare-metal configuration. A simple Cisco 2950 port configuration shows a port range for a single "slot:"

`fa0/{1-24}`

Use the curly brackets symbols to define the port range for a slot, as in **{1-24}**. The only other requirement is to know the basic syntax for specifying different port types on the devices. You can apply this syntax to serial ports, PVCs and other interfaces.  
To support switch models with larger configurations, such as a Catalyst 6500, you add multiple entries to the definition, separated by commas with no spaces:

`fa1/0/{1-24},fa2/0/{1-24},fa3/0/{1-24},gi4/0{1-9},gi5/0{1-9}...`

The list entry can contain as many values as required.  
Similar entries may be required in the **ACM** **BMP** **Site** **Settings** list for VLAN port assignments (the example below shows data fields for a defined VLAN1 ID, the VLAN1 Name, and the assigned VLAN1 Ports, which are not for the management VLAN but the first VLAN to be assigned to user traffic):

`100 VLAN100 fa1/0/{1-4},fa1/0/{6-10}`

In this case, for example, VLAN 100 on the switch to be provisioned is assigned to Fast Ethernet ports 1 through 4, and to a second port range 6 through 10.
