A Mapping port locations and software
numbering
Your switch module has two external Fibre Channel ports (external Fibre Channel port 1 and external Fibre
Channel port 2) and 14 internal Fibre Channel ports that connect to each of the 14 blade server bays (ports 1 to
14). The SAN Utility and CLI for the switch module require port numbering from 0 to 15. The SNMP
monitoring agent for the switch module numbers the ports from 1 to 16.
Port mapping
Table 37 shows the mapping of switch module port numbering and whether the port has the capability to be
configured.
✏ NOTE
The Fibre Channel ports that connect to each of the blade server bays (1 through 14) are fixed 2 Gbps
F_Port configurations. Only the administrative state for these ports can be changed.
