Mapping the Logical Controller Numbers to the Physical Port Locations
The Logical Controller Number is the number assigned to a port on an option board by
the operating system. The logical controller numbers assigned by the operating system
to a port on an option board always start higher than the last assigned port of the same
type on the system module. Ports of the same type are assigned incrementing port
numbers. For example, because there is one Ethernet port on the system module (which
is assigned logical number 0) logical number 1 is assigned to the first optional Ethernet
port that the software sees.
Ignore the Hardware, Node, and Bus Type columns containing XIO entries when looking
for information in this table. They appear in the ioconfig.conf file to report that
hardware is being probed, on one node, using XIO at one point and PCI at another within
the workstation.
