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 83xx Switch Series

  • member: Always 1. VSF is not supported on this switch.
  • slot: Line module number. Always 1.
  • 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.

NOTE:

If using breakout cables, the port designation changes to x:y, where x is the physical port and y is the lane when split to 4 x 10G or 4 x 25G. For example, the logical interface 1/1/4:2 in software is associated with lane 2 on physical port 4 in slot 1 on member 1.
