unit/slot/port
by the variable
<Interface Type> Unit#/Slot#/Port# — Identifies a specific interface by
•
the interface type tag followed by the Unit# followed by a / symbol, then
the Slot# followed by a / symbol, and then the Port#. For example,
2/0/10
gi identifies the gigabit port 10 in slot 0 within the second unit on
a non-blade switch. Table 2-4 below lists the supported interface type
tags.
Unit # — The unit number is greater than 1 only in a stacking solution
•
where a number of switches are stacked to form a virtual switch. In this
case, the Unit# indicates the logical position of the switch in a stack. The
range is 1–12. The unit value is 1 for standalone switches.
Slot # — The slot number is an integer number assigned to a particular
•
slot. Front panel ports have a slot number of 0. Rear panel ports are
numbered from 1 and can be identified by the lexan on the rear panel. Use
