Ports
Each individual port on the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered
based on their function. The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right. The 40 fixed ports form
group 1 and are named 1/port_number. Ports 1 through 32 are unencrypted Ethernet ports. Of these, ports
1 through 16 are 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 1-Gigabit Ethernet capable ports. Ports 33 through 40 are
encryption-capable Ethernet ports.
Group 2 includes the ports in the top-most expansion module. Group 2 ports 1 through 4 are encrypted
Ethernet ports. Group 2 ports 5 through 8 are Fibre Channel ports.
Group 3 includes the ports in the bottom-most expansion module. Group 3 ports 1 through 4 are
encrypted Ethernet ports. Group 3 ports 5 through 8 are Fibre Channel ports.
