To determine the interface index (IfIndex), you can calculate it, or use the CLI command provided in this section.
As a result of channelization support, the ifIndex of each channelization–capable port increases by 4. The number is reserved for the 3 sub-ports when channelization is enabled.
For switches that do not include channelization-capable ports, use the following equation to determine the IfIndex of a port:
(192 x slot number) + (port number – 1)
For example, the interface index of port 1/50 is 241.
The VSP 4450 Series and XA1400 Series use one slot.
For switches that include channelization-capable ports, use the following equations to determine the IfIndex of a port:
If the port does not support channelization, use (64 x slot number) +128 + (port number -1).
If the port supports channelization, use the following equations:
for the port in question: (64 x slot number) +128
for subsequent ports: (64 x slot number) +128 + ((port number -1) *4)
This equation reserves space for the creation of the 3 sub-ports on the previous port, if or when you enable channelization.
The slot number is 1-2 for the 5420 Series.
The slot numbers are 1-2 for the 5520 Series.
The slot numbers are 1-2 for the VSP 4900 Series.
The slot numbers are 1-2 for the VSP 7200 Series.
The slot number is 1 for the VSP 7400 Series.
The slot numbers are 1-2 for the VSP 8200 Series.
The slot numbers are 1-4 for VSP 8400 Series.
The slot numbers are 1–8 for VSP 8600 Series.
To determine the port interface index through the CLI, use the following command:
show interfaces gigabitEthernet
The following example shows an output for this command:
Switch:1(config)#show interfaces gigabitEthernet
