2.3.3.2 Ethernet Port Device and Driver Naming
The Sun Blade X6450 server modules have up to two 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit
Ethernet ports provided by the NEMs installed in the Sun Blade 6000 or 6048 chassis.
The lower NEM port provides NET 0 and the upper NEM port provides NET 1. The
numbers correspond to the slot number, as shown in
FIGURE 2-2
( N represents the slot
number).
