Brocade ICX 6650 slot and Ethernet port numbering
Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and
many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed
in stack-unit/slot number/port number format. In all Brocade ICX 6650 inputs and outputs, the
stack-unit number is always 1.
The ICX 6650 contains the following slots and Ethernet ports:
Slot 1 is located on the front of the ICX 6650 device and contains ports 1 through 56. Ports 1
through 32 are 10 GbE. Ports 33 through 56 are 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports. Refer to the following
