globally unique ID (GUID)
A unique, read only number stored in nonvolatile memory (SEEPROM) on a ServerNet II
Switch at the time of manufacture. The GUID also appears on the bar code label. This
number can be used programmatically to identify the switch.
group
Part of the group, module, slot naming convention for uniquely identifying the logical
location of a component within a system. A group is a subset of a system and contains
one or more modules. A group does not necessarily correspond to a single physical

typically includes only one group number, but a modular cabinet can contain several
enclosures that each might belong to different groups.
