Configures port label settings. Port labels are names given to sets of ports. When you configure rules for feature implementation, you can specify port labels instead of port numbers to reduce the number of in-path rules.

The Riverbed system includes the following default port labels:

Secure - Contains ports that belong to the system label for secure ports. The SteelHead automatically passes through traffic on commonly secure ports (for example, SSH, HTTPS, and SMTPS). For a list of secure ports, see SteelHead Ports.

Interactive - Contains ports that belong to the system label for interactive ports. The SteelHead automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell). For a list of interactive ports, see SteelHead Ports.

RBT-Proto - Contains ports that belong to the label for system processes: 7744 (data store synchronization), 7800-7801 (in-path), 7810 (out-of-path), 7820 (failover), 7850 (connection forwarding), 7860 (SteelHead Interceptor), 7570 (Client Accelerator).

FTP - Contains ports that automatically pass through traffic on FTP ports 20 and 21.

SteelFusion - Contains ports that automatically pass through traffic on SteelFusion ports 7950-7954 (data transfers), and 7970 (management). For a list of SteelFusion ports, see SteelFusion Ports.

You can use the port-label <name> port <port> command to add or modify ports in a port label. For example you define port label myexample by entering:

If you want to add ports to the myexample port label:

If you run the show port-label myexample command, you will see the new range of ports from 2 to 20.

The no command option removes the port label for the specified port label.
