Arranging Slots ands Numbering Interfaces
Slot Arrangement
The F5000-A5 supports many types of interfaces, such as Console, AUX, GigabitEthernet, and
Ten-GigabitEthernet interfaces. This chapter describes how these interfaces are numbered.
Figure 2-1
Slot arrangement on the F5000-A5
The numbers 0 through 4 in Figure 2-1 represent Slot 0 through Slot 4 on the device respectively.
Actually, these numbers are not silk-screened on the device.
Numbering Interfaces
Except for user interfaces such as the Console port and AUX port, interfaces on the F5000-A5 are
numbered in the form of
interface-type
X/Y, where,
z
interface-type
: Type of the interface such as GigabitEthernet.
z
X: Number of the slot where the LPU resides, in the range of 1 to 4.
z
Y: Sequence number of the interface on the LPU, depending on the LPU model.
Note that:
z
Interfaces on the same LPU have the same slot number X.
z
For each type of interfaces, the sequence number Y starts from 0 and increases according to the
sequence on the LPU (from bottom to up or from left to right).
z
The management Ethernet interface is permanently numbered as M-GigabitEthernet0/0.
