ONVENTION
FL SWITCH GHS Firmware software references physical entities such as cards and ports by
using a slot/port naming convention. The FL SWITCH GHS Firmware software also uses this
convention to identify certain logical entities, such as 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.
Table 2:
Parameter Descriptions
Parameter
Description
ipaddr
This parameter is a valid IP address. You can enter the IP address in the following formats:
a (32 bits)
a.b (8.24 bits)
a.b.c (8.8.16 bits)
a.b.c.d (8.8.8.8)
In addition to these formats, the CLI accepts decimal, hexidecimal and octal formats through the
following input formats (where
n
is any valid hexidecimal, octal or decimal number):
0xn (CLI assumes hexidecimal format)
0n (CLI assumes octal format with leading zeros)
n (CLI assumes decimal format)
ipv6-address
FE80:0000:0000:0000:020F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80::20F24FF:FEBF:DBCB, or
FE80:0:0:0:20F:24FF:128:141:49:32
For additional information, refer to RFC 3513.
Interface or
slot/port
Valid slot and port number separated by a forward slash. For example, 0/1 represents slot
number 0 and port number 1.
Logical Interface
Represents a logical slot and port number. This is applicable in the case of a port-channel (LAG).
You 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) or router
interfaces.
CPU slot numbers
The CPU slots immediately follow the logical slots.
