Unified Switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a slot/port naming convention. The
Unified Switch 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.
Slot Type
Physical slot numbers
Logical slot numbers
CPU slot numbers
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given slot.
Port Type
Physical Ports
Logical Interfaces
CPU ports
Note: In the CLI and loopback interfaces do not use the slot/port format. To specify a loopback interface, you use
the loopback ID.

The no keyword is a specific form of an existing command and does not represent a new or distinct command. Almost every
configuration command has a no form. In general, use the no form to reverse the action of a command or reset a value back
to the default. For example, the no shutdown configuration command reverses the shutdown of an interface. Use the
command without the keyword no to re-enable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default. Only the
configuration commands are available in the no form.

Table 3: Type of Slots

Description
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 port-channel (LAG) or router
interfaces.
The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.

Table 4: Type of Ports

Description
The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially starting from 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.
Loopback interfaces are logical interfaces that are always up.
CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical entities located on physical
slots.
