Port Numbering When installed in a PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure, Aggregator ports are numbered 1 to 56. Ports 1 to 32 are internal server-facing ports. Ports 33 to 56 are external ports numbered from the bottom to the top of the switch as follows: • The 40GbE base-module ports operate: • In standalone 4x10GbE mode (default); ports are numbered 33 to 36 and 37 to 40. • In stacking mode; ports are numbered 33 and 37, and cannot be used for uplinks. • The 2-Port 40-GbE QSFP+ module operates only in 4x10GbE mode: • In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44 and 45 to 48. • In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52 and 53 to 56. • 4-Port 10-GbE SFP+ and 4-Port 10GBASE-T modules operate only in 4x10GbE mode: • In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44. • In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52. To configure a port, you must specify the slot (0-5; default: 0) and port number (1 to 56) in the interface port-type slot/port command, where slot is the unit number of the Aggregator displayed in the show system brief command; for example: FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/4 Hardware Overview 11

Port Numbering
When installed in a PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure, Aggregator ports are
numbered 1 to 56. Ports 1 to 32 are internal server-facing ports. Ports 33 to 56
are external ports numbered from the bottom to the top of the switch as
follows:
The 40GbE base-module ports operate:
In standalone 4x10GbE mode (default); ports are numbered 33 to 36
and 37 to 40.
In stacking mode; ports are numbered 33 and 37, and cannot be used
for uplinks.
The 2-Port 40-GbE QSFP+ module
operates only in 4x10GbE mode:
In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44 and 45 to
48.
In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52 and 53 to 56.
4-Port 10-GbE SFP+ and 4-Port 10GBASE-T modules operate only
in
4x10GbE mode:
In the bottom expansion slot, ports are numbered 41 to 44.
In the top expansion slot, ports are numbered 49 to 52.
To configure a port, you must specify the slot (0-5; default: 0) and port
number (1 to 56) in the
interface
port-type slot
/
port
command, where
slot
is
the unit number of the Aggregator displayed in the
show system brief
command; for example:
FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/4
