Port ID Numbering
Each server on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. Its Port ID is a one
or two segment number that is determined as follows:
A server attached to a First Stage unit has a one segment Port ID (from 1–
64) that corresponds to the KVM Port number that it is connected to.
A server attached to a Second Stage unit has a two segment Port ID:
The second segment (from 1–16), represents the KVM Port number on
the Second Stage unit that the server is connected to.
The first segment (from 1–64) represents the KVM Port number on the
First Stage unit that the Second Stage unit links back to.
For example, a Port ID of 20 - 3 refers to a server that is connected to KVM
Port 3 of a Second Stage unit that links back to KVM Port 20 of the First Stage
unit:
