Ports

Each port on the Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right. The 48 fixed ports support 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers.

Figure 1-7shows how ports are numbered and grouped by function for both the fixed ports and the Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module ports.
