The digits in the ArubaOS-CX switch interface numbering represent the member, slot, and port numbers of the physical ports and their corresponding logical software interfaces. The format is member / slot / port, where:
Member: Member number of the switch in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack. Range: 1 to 8. The primary switch is always member 1. VSF is a technology that allows multiple switches to operate as a single logical device, providing high availability, scalability, and simplified management.
Slot: Slot number of the module on the switch chassis. Range: 1 to 6. The 6400 Switch Series has six slots for line cards, while the 8320, 8325, and 8400 Switch Series have four slots for line cards and two slots for management modules.
Port: Port number of the interface on the module. Range: 1 to 48 for 1G/10G ports, 1 to 32 for 25G ports, and 1 to 8 for 40G/100G ports.
For example, interface 1/1/1 refers to the first port on the first module of the first switch in a VSF stack.
