Unit-Slot-Port Naming Convention

Page 33 highlights

Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7300S Series Layer-3 Stackable Switches, Table 2-2. Parameter Descriptions Parameter Description Logical Interface Character strings Logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to configure the port-channel. Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, "System Name with Spaces". An empty string ("") is not valid. 2.3.3 Unit-Slot-Port Naming Convention 7300S Series Stackable Switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a Unit-Slot-Port (USP) naming convention. The software also uses this convention to identify certain logical entities, such as port-channel interfaces. The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card containing the ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of interface or port. Table 2-3. Type of Slots Slot Type Description Physical slot numbers Logical slot numbers CPU slot numbers Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the maximum number of physical slots. Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify portchannel (LAG) or router interfaces. The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots. The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given slot. Table 2-4. Type of Ports Port Type Description Physical Ports Logical Interfaces CPU ports The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from zero. For example, port one will be "0/1" with slot number always as zero. Port-channel or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) interfaces are logical interfaces that are only used for bridging functions. VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions. CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on physical slots. Overview 2-5 v3.0, January 2008

Command Line Interface Reference for the ProSafe 7300S Series Layer-3 Stackable Switches,
Overview
2-5
v3.0, January 2008
2.3.3
Unit-Slot-Port Naming Convention
7300S Series Stackable Switch software references physical entities such as cards and
ports by using a Unit-Slot-Port (USP) naming convention. The software also uses this
convention to identify certain logical entities, such as port-channel interfaces.
The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card
containing the ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of
interface or port.
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given
slot.
Logical Interface
Logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a
port-channel (LAG). You can use the logical unit/slot/port to
configure the port-channel.
Character strings
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for
example, “System Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not
valid.
Table 2-3. Type of Slots
Slot Type
Description
Physical slot numbers
Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the
maximum number of physical slots.
Logical slot numbers
Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-
channel (LAG) or router interfaces.
CPU slot numbers
The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
Table 2-4. Type of Ports
Port Type
Description
Physical Ports
The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting
from zero. For example, port one will be “0/1” with slot number
always as zero.
Logical Interfaces
Port-channel or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) interfaces are
logical interfaces that are only used for bridging functions.
VLAN routing interfaces are only used for routing functions.
CPU ports
CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical
entities located on physical slots.
