Unit/Slot/Port Naming Convention - NETGEAR ProSafe GSM7224P User Manual

Name with Spaces" forces the system to accept the spaces. Empty strings ("") are not valid
user-defined strings.
Table 2. Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
ipaddr This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the following formats:
a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexadecimal and octal formats
through the following input formats (where n is any valid hexadecimal, octal or decimal
number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexadecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)
FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
ipv6-address
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.
Interface or Valid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For example, 0/1 represents slot
unit/slot/port number 0 and port number 1.
Logical Interface Represents a 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.

Unit/Slot/Port Naming Convention

Managed switch software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a
unit/slot/port 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 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
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.
