Slot and Port Numbering on the APM408C, APM408P, and APM408F Port
Cards
For the APM408C, APM408P, and APM408F port cards, the ports in the port cards in the
slots are numbered as described in the following table.
Slot and Port Numbering on the APM402XL Port Card
The numbering of the ports on the APM402XL port card is different from the other port cards.
You can use a 40G port either with a break-out cable, in which case the single 40G port can
support up to four individual 10G ports, or with a connection to another single 40G port.
Port 1 (the left 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:
• If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are 1,
2, 3, and 4.
• If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 1. In that situation, only port
number 1 is used and port numbers 2, 3, and 4 are not used on the port card.
Port 2 (the right 40G port on the port card) uses the following numbering:
• If connected with a break-out cable to four individual 10G ports, the port numbers are 5,
6, 7, and 8.
• If connected to another single 40G port, the port number is 5. In that situation, only port
number 5 is used and port numbers 6, 7, and 8 are not used on the port card.
