Switch Software Features
Introduction
The Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 switches contain common Ethernet
software features, unless otherwise specified.
Port Numbering
The port ID consists of port type (Gigabit Ethernet for Gigabit ports and Fast
Ethernet for 10/100 Mbps ports), unit number (1, 2, or 3) and port number
(1-2 for Gigabits, 1-4 for the 6 port base and 1-8 for all others). Gigabit
Ethernet is abbreviated as Gi and Fast Ethernet as Fa.
The following table shows, as an example, port numbering for the 26-port
Stratix 8000 switch configuration containing the following:
• One 10-port base switch
• One copper expansion module
• One fiber expansion module
