Managing individual modules
When you log into the GUI or CLI using the mgmt interface IP address you are actually connected to the primary
(or master) interface module in slot 1 (the address of slot 1 is FIM01). To verify which module you have logged
into, the GUI header banner or CLI prompt shows the hostname of the module you are logged into plus the slot
address in the format <hostname> (<slot address>).
In some cases you may want to connect to individual modules. For example, you may want to view the traffic
being processed by a specific processor module. You can connect to the GUI or CLI of individual modules in the
chassis using the system management IP address with a special port number.
For example, if the system management IP address is 192.168.1.99 you can connect to the GUI of the interface
module in slot 1 using the system management IP address (for example, by browsing to https://192.168.1.99).
You can also use the system management IP address followed by the special port number, for example
https://192.168.1.99:44301.
The special port number (in this case 44301) is a combination of the service port (for HTTPS the service port is
443) and the chassis slot number (in this example, 01). The following table lists the special ports to use to
connect to each chassis slot using common admin protocols:
