Interface naming conventions

An interface is named in the following format:

Interface name

<member ID>/<port-index> For example: 1/1, 2/24.

Definition

<member ID >: VSF member ID of the switch. The VSF member ID will be a part of the interface name in a VSF fabric, whether a device has formed a VSF fabric with other devices, or not. A single device is also considered to be a standalone VSF fabric.
<port-index >: Index of the port on the device. Port index depends on the number of ports available on the linecard (or Interface Module).

For example, on VSF, an interface name would take this form:

<member ID>/<interface-module><port-index>

2/4

where 2 is the member ID and 4 is the port-index.
