Line Card and Module Numbering

Line cards and modules use standard conventions for numbering network and tool ports, both on the faceplates of the line cards or modules, as well as in the GigaVUE-OS CLI. On faceplates, the numbers are as follows:

100Gb Ports	Numbered with a leading C. For example, the PRT-HC0-C02 includes 100Gb port C1 and C2.
40Gb Ports	Numbered with a leading Q. For example, the PRT-HC0-Q06 includes 40Gb ports Q1 to Q6.
10Gb/1Gb Ports	Numbered with a leading X. For example, the PRT-HC0-X24 includes 10Gb/1Gb ports X1 to X24; the bypass combo modules include 10Gb ports X1 to X16.
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 line card or 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: Bays are numbered as follows:

•

the base chassis in the center, is numbered 1

•

the left module is numbered 2

•

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.
