Identifying switch ports and interfaces
Physical ports on the switch and their corresponding logical software interfaces are identified using the format:
member/slot/port
On the 6300 Switch Series
- member: Member number of the switch in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack. Range: 1 to 10. The primary switch is always member 1. If the switch is not a member of a VSF stack, then member is 1.
- slot: Line module number. Always 1.
- port: Physical number of a port on a line module.
1/1/4
in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 1 on member 1.
On the 6400 Switch Series
- member: Always 1. VSF is not supported on this switch.
- slot: Specifies physical location of a module in the switch chassis.
Management modules are on the front of the switch in slots 1/1 and 1/2.
Line modules are on the front of the switch starting in slot 1/3.
- port: Physical number of a port on a line module.
1/3/4
in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 3 on member 1.
