Slot/Port Naming Convention

D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless Access System software references physical entities such as
cards and ports by using a slot/port naming convention. The D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless
Access System software also uses this convention to identify certain logical entities, such as
Port-Channel interfaces.
The slot number has two uses. In the case of physical ports, it identifies the card containing the
ports. In the case of logical and CPU ports it also identifies the type of interface or port.

Table 2 describes common parameter values and value formatting.
This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the
following formats:
(32 bits)
a
(8.24 bits)
a.b
(8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c
(8.8.8.8)
a.b.c.d
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexidecimal and
octal formats through the following input formats (where n is any valid
hexidecimal, octal or decimal number):
(CLI assumes hexidecimal format)
0xn
(CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
0n
(CLI assumes decimal format)
n
Valid slot and port number separated by forward slashes. For example, 0/
1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.
Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case
of a port-channel (LAG). You can use the logical slot/port to configure
the port-channel.
Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example,
"System Name with Spaces". An empty string ("") is not valid.
Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the
maximum number of physical slots.
Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-
channel (LAG) or router interfaces.
The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
