Port Configuration Overview

The S- K- and 7100-Series modules and standalone devices have fixed front panel switch ports and, depending on the model, optional expansion module slots. The numbering scheme used to identify the switch ports on the front panel and the expansion module(s) installed is interface-type dependent and is also dependent upon the chassis slots in which the module(s) are installed. Port numbering proceeds from 1 to the maximum number of that port type on the module. If there are multiple port types, each port type numbering starts at 1. Port numbering is displayed next to each port.

When configuring a port, the port string associated with a port is made up of the port type, the slot location of the module in the chassis and the port number delineated by a period as explained in Port String Syntax Used in the CLI.
