Switch Labeling
To identify each port, I

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.
W

X refers to ports using these labels. You can use the W

X to assign names to your
ports, names that indicate devices they connect to or to provide other meaningful aids to
memory. For details, see
