IMPORTANT:
When you click the Apply button, your changes are saved for the
web management session but are not retained by the switch when it
is rebooted. You can manually save the configuration permanently
(see
Save the Configuration on page 671) or you can enable the
automatic saving feature (see

Interface Naming Conventions
The switch supports physical and logical interfaces. Interfaces are identified by their type and
the interface number. The physical ports are Gigabit Ethernet or multispeed 10G Ethernet
interfaces and are numbered on the front panel. You configure the logical interfaces by using
the software.
The following table describes the naming convention for all interfaces available on the switch.

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
Slot and Port
Numbering on the APM402XL Port Card
on page 28).
See Slot and Port Numbering for
Switch Model M4300-96X on
