Port Numbering Convention

The S5000 switch uses following port numbering convention.

Odd-numbered ports are at the top and even-numbered ports are at the bottom of the I/O panel.

The following shows the fixed four 40GbE data ports and the four slots for pluggable modules on the

S5000 I/O panel. You can also use the 40GbE ports in 4 × 10GbE mode.

Figure 1. Port Numbering Convention

The S5000 supports the following possible modules:

• Twelve-Port Ethernet module (1G/10G speeds)

• Twelve-Port Universal Port module (2G/4G/8G/10G speeds)

You can install an Ethernet module in any slot (from 0 to 3) and a Universal Port module in slot 0 on the

I/O panel.

On the S5000, the valid stack-unit numbers are from 0 to 11. The valid port numbers for each interface

type are:

• 1GbE: Ports from 0 to 47

• 10GbE: Ports from 0 to 63

• 40GbE: Ports 48, 52, 56, and 60

• Universal Port: Ports from 0 to 47

• Management: Port 0

• Fibre Channel: Ports from 0 to 11

The do Command

You can enter an EXEC mode command from any CONFIGURATION mode (CONFIGURATION,

INTERFACE, SPANNING TREE, and so on.) without having to return to EXEC mode by preceding the EXEC

mode command with the do command.

The following example shows the output of the do command.
