Connecting The Console Cable And Setting Terminal Parameters - HP A-MSR900 Series Installation Manual

Interface numbering
The router's fixed Ethernet ports are numbered as follows:
The two fixed WAN ports are numbered Ethernet 0/0 and Ethernet 0/1.
•
The four fixed Ethernet LAN ports are numbered Ethernet 0/1, Ethernet 0/2, Ethernet 0/3, and
•
Ethernet 0/4.
This follows the router's numbering convention interface-type X/Y, where:
interface-type is the type of interface, such as serial, asynchronous, or Ethernet.
•
X is the number of the slot where the interface module is installed. All ports on an interface module
•
have the same slot number.
Y is the sequence number of an interface on an interface module. As you face the interface module,
•
the module's interfaces are numbered from left to right in ascending order, starting at 0.
