Interface naming conventions
The interfaces are named in the format of
member ID
/
subslot number
/
interface serial number
, where
•
The member ID identifies the IRF member switch on which the interface resides. If the switch is
standalone, the member ID defaults to 1. If the standalone switch was once an IRF member switch,
it uses the same member ID as it was in the IRF virtual device.
•
The subslot number is the number of the slot in which the interface card resides. On the A5800
series or A5820X series, the subslot for the fixed ports on the front panel is numbered 0. If the
switch has one expansion slot, the number of the slot is 1. If the switch has two expansion slots,
their numbers are 1 and 2, from left to right.
•
The interface serial number depends on the number of interfaces provided by the switch. Look at
the number on the silkscreen on the interface card for the number of supported interfaces.
For example, on the standalone switch
Sysname
, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 represents the first fixed port
on the front panel. Set its link type to trunk:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk
For another example, on the IRF virtual device
Master
, GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 represents the first fixed
port on the front panel of member switch 3. Set its link type to trunk:
<Master> system-view
[Master] interface gigabitethernet 3/0/1
[Master-GigabitEthernet3/0/1] port link-type trunk
File system naming conventions
On a standalone switch, use the name of storage device to access its file system. For more information
about storage device naming conventions, see the chapter “File management”
in
Fundamentals
Configuration Guide
.
On an IRF virtual device, you can also use the name of storage device to access the file system of the
master. To access the file system of any other member switch, use the name in the following format:
Member-ID#Storage-device-name
. For example:
1.
To access the
test
folder under the root directory of the Flash on the master switch, perform the
following steps:
<Master> mkdir test
...
%Created dir flash:/test.
<Master> dir
Directory of flash:/
0 -rw- 10105088 Apr 26 2000 13:44:57 test.app
1 -rw- 2445 Apr 26 2000 15:18:19 config.cfg

2.
To create and access the
test
folder under the root directory of the Flash on member switch 3,
perform the following steps:
<Master> mkdir slot3#flash:/test
%Created dir slot3#flash:/test.
<Master> cd slot3#flash:/test
<Master> pwd
slot3#flash:/test
