Operating Your Vanguard 7300 4-7
Vanguard 7300 Port Configuration
Vanguard 7300 Port Configuration
Introduction The Vanguard 7300’s unique port number system provides the physical and virtual
port numbers required by the Applications Ware software for configuring the router
on your network. These conventions accommodate the mix of cards that can be
installed in a Vanguard 7300 chassis. This section described special-purpose
Vanguard 7300 ports, their configuration, and programming considerations.
Port Numbering Vanguard 7300 port numbers are based on each card’s chassis slot number, rather
than specific cards or physical locations. This way, whatever the card mix in your
chassis, once configured, network management software can locate any referenced
Vanguard 7300 port.
Port Number
Format
A Vanguard 7300 configuration port number is a three-digit number that always
begins with the number of the board’s chassis slot -- chassis slots 1-5 on the 7310,
and chassis slots 1-8 on the 7330.
The Vanguard 7300 configuration port number format:
spx
where:
s is the number of the chassis slot (1-5 for a 7310; 1-8 for a 7330)
p is either:
- 0 or 1 to signify a port on a full-size chassis card
- 5 to indicate a port on a PMC
x is the number of that port on the full-size or PMC
For example, if your Vanguard 7300 has an 8-port Serial card in chassis slot four, the
configuration port numbers for those ports would be 401 through 408. For a Carrier
Expansion Card in chassis slot two with two PMC ports in the first PMC slot, the
Carrier Expansion Card’s configuration port numbers would be 251 and 252.
Virtual Ports Wide Area Network (WAN) virtual ports are numbered in sequence in a range of 51
through 1000. Voice and data virtual ports are numbered sequentially from 2000
through 4000.
