Interface Description Example
Physical interfaces for all
M4300 switch models except
for model M4300-96X
The physical ports are Gigabit Ethernet or
multispeed 10G Ethernet interfaces. The
interface number consists of the switch unit
number from 1 to 8, the slot number (which
is always 0), and the port number
, which is
a sequential number starting from 1.
1/0/1, 1/0/2, 1/0/3, and so on
2/0/1, 2/0/2, 2/0/3, and so on
3/0/1, 3/0/2, 3/0/3, and so on
Physical interfaces for model
M4300-96X
The physical ports are Gigabit Ethernet,
multispeed 10G Ethernet, or 40G Ethernet
interfaces.
The interface number consists of
the switch unit number from 1 to 8, the port
card number from 1 to 12, and the port
number from 1 to 8.
Note: The numbering for the APM402XL
40G port card differs (see

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