Using Slot and Port Numbers with CLI Commands
Many CLI commands and displays use port numbers, or slot numbers with port numbers. The ports are labeled
on the front panel of the device.
The FSX uses chassis-based port numbering which consists of a slot number and a port number. When you enter
CLI commands on the FSX, you must specify both the slot number and the port number. The FESX and FWSX
devices do not use this type of numbering. When you enter commands on these devices, just specify the port
number. The slot numbers used in the FSX CLI examples apply only to Chassis devices.
Here is an example. The following commands change the CLI from the global CONFIG level to the configuration
level for the first port on the device.
• FSX commands:
FastIron SuperX Switch(config)# interface e 1/1
FastIron SuperX Switch(config-if-1/1)#
