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, and in the information displayed in Chassis view when hovering over a port. On faceplates, the numbers are as follows:

100Gb Ports	Numbered with a leading C. For example, the PRT-HD0-C01 includes 100Gb port C1; PRT-HD0-C02X08 includes ports C1 and C2.
40Gb Ports	Numbered with a leading Q. For example, the PRT-H00-Q02X32 includes 40Gb ports Q1 and Q2.
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-T H00-X12G04 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, Chassis View uses lowercase notation to refer to ports (for example, c1, q1, x4, and g1).

When displaying ports in Chassis View, 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:

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.
