switches use the following port labeling conventions:

Blades have varying numbers of ports, and a chassis may not be fully populated with blades.
The greatest number on each blade and the greatest letter in each chassis varies, therefore,
according to the number of ports in a blade and the number of blades installed in a chassis.
