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 8400 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 1/5 and 1/6.

  • Line modules are on the front of the switch in slots 1/1 through 1/4, and 1/7 through 1/10.

• port: Physical number of a port on a line module

For example, the logical interface 1/1/4 in software is associated with physical port 4 in slot 1 on member 1.
