Module and Port Numbering

Network and tool ports are numbered using standard conventions. The numbering is displayed in the module faceplates and also in the Chassis view when hovering over a port. On faceplates, the ports are numbered are as follows:

400Gb Ports

Numbered with a leading D. For example, the GigaVUE-TA400 built-in module includes 32 400Gb/100Gb/ 40Gb QSFP-DD/ QSFP28/QSFP+ ports.

100Gb Ports

Numbered with a leading C. For example, the SMT-HC3-C05 includes five 100Gb ports C1 to C5.

40Gb Ports

Numbered with a leading Q. For example, the PRT-HC0-Q06 includes 40Gb ports Q1 to Q6.

25Gb/10Gb/1Gb Ports

Numbered with a leading X. For example, the PRT-HC3-X24 includes twenty-four 25Gb ports X1 to X24.

10/100/1000 Ports

Numbered with a leading G. For example, the PRT-HC1-X12G4 includes 10/100/1000 ports G1 to G4.

The port labels on the module faceplates use upper-case C, Q, X, and G characters to identify ports. However, the CLI uses lowercase notation to refer to ports (for example, c1, q1, x4, and g1).

When referring to ports in the CLI, the format is box ID/slot ID/port ID. For example, 1/1/x6 refers to box 1, slot 1, port X6.

On chassis with multiple slots/bays, the slots or bays are numbered as follows:

■   GigaVUE‑HC1 and GigaVUE-HC1-Plus: Bays are numbered as follows:
o   the base chassis in the center, is numbered 1
o   the left module is numbered 2
o   the right module is numbered 3
■   GigaVUE‑HC2: Bays are numbered 1-4 from left upper, left lower, right upper to right lower.
■   GigaVUE‑HC3: Bays are numbered 1-4 from left upper, left lower, right upper to right lower.
