Command Structure 21
Slot-Port Naming Convention
D-Link DES-3226L software references physical entities such as cards and ports by using a Slot-Port
(SP) naming convention. The D-Link DES-3226L software also uses this convention to identify certain
logical entities such as Link Aggregation (LAG) or 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.
The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given slot.
Logical Interface Logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel
(LAG). The operator can use the logical slot/port to configure the port-channel.
Character strings Use double quotation marks to identify character strings, for example, “System
Name with Spaces”. An empty string (“”) is not valid.
Table 3. Type of Slots
Slot Type Description
Physical slot numbers Physical slot numbers begin with zero, and are allocated up to the
maximum number of physical slots
Logical slot numbers Logical slots immediately follow physical slots and identify port-
channel (LAG) interfaces.
CPU slot numbers The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
Table 4.
Type of Ports
Port Type Description
Physical Ports The physical ports for each slot are numbered sequentially start-
ing from zero.
Logical Interfaces There is one type of logical interface: port-channel (LAG). Port-
channel (LAG) interfaces are only used for bridging functions.
Each port-channel interface consists of a set of up to eight physi-
cal ports identified by their own slot/port.
CPU ports CPU ports are handled by the driver as one or more physical enti-
ties located on physical slots.
