Interface naming conventions

The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their
type and the interface number. The physical ports are multispeed Ethernet interfaces
or fiber ports, and are numbered on the front panel. You configure the logical interfaces.

The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the
switch.

Table 3. Naming conventions for interfaces

Example

Description

Interface

1/0/1, 1/0/2, 1/0/3, and so on

For a switch stack:

2/0/1, 2/0/2, 2/0/3, and so on

3/0/1, 3/0/2, 3/0/3, and so on

Depending on the model, the physical
ports are multispeed 10G Ethernet ports,
multispeed 2.5G Ethernet ports, Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 25G fiber ports, 10G fiber
ports, or a combination of such ports.

The interface number consists of the switch
unit number (from 1 to 8) followed by a
forward slash, the slot number (which is
always 0) followed by a forward slash, and
the port number, which is a sequential
number starting from 1.

Physical interfaces for all
M4350 switch

LAG 1, LAG 2, LAG 3, and so on

LAG interfaces are logical interfaces that
are used only for bridging functions.

Link aggregation group (LAG)

0/5/1

This is the internal switch interface
responsible for the switch base MAC
address. This interface is not configurable
and is always listed in the MAC Address
Table.

CPU management interface

VLAN 1, VLAN 2, VLAN 3, and
so on

This is an interface used for routing
functionality.
