Warning
Port numbering for onboard interfaces was reversed from IDS 4.x to IPS 5.0 and later. The port naming
convention changed within the IPS application only; the physical chassis label remains unchanged.
To correlate chassis port labels to software port names, refer to
Figure 3-2
.
The built-in Ethernet ports have three indicators per port and the 4FE card has two indicators per port.
Figure 3-3 on page 3-3
shows the back panel indicators.
