Command History
Usage Guidelines All software releases prior to Cisco SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) support Generation 1 hardware. Cisco
SAN-OS Release 3.0(1) and later support Generation 2 hardware. You can combine Generation 1 and
Generation 2 switching modules, with either Supervisor-1 modules or Supervisor-2 modules. However,
combining switching modules and supervisor modules has the following limitations:
• Supervisor-1 modules only support a maximum of 256 port indexes, regardless of type of switching
modules.
• Supervisor-2 modules support a maximum of 1024 port indexes when all switching modules in the
chassis are Generation 2.
• Supervisor-2 modules only support a maximum of 256 port indexes when both Generation 1 and
Generation 2 switching modules are installed in the chassis.
Note The Cisco MDS 9124 switch does not support the show port index-allocation startup command;
however, it does support the show port index-allocation command.
Note On a switch where the maximum number of port indexes is 256, any module that exceeds that limit does
not power up.
index-allocation Displays port index allocation information.
startup Displays port index allocation information at startup.
naming Displays port naming information.
