In the following figure, the Port column indicates the ARI port to which a
device is connected. If you tier a switch from the main SCS, creating another
tier, the ARI port on the switch is listed first, and is followed by the switch port
to which the device is connected. For example, in Figure 3.1, devices 06-01, 06-
02, 06-03, and 06-04 are connected. The port number list indicates the ARI port
number first, and then names the switch port to which the device is connected.
