Ports

Each individual port on the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right.

There are 20 to 28 ports on the Cisco Nexus 5010 switch, depending on which GEM is installed.

The 20 fixed ports form group 1 and are named 1/port_number. Ports 1 through 16 are unencrypted Ethernet ports. Ports 1 through 8 are 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 1-Gigabit Ethernet-capable ports. Ports 17 through 20 are encryption-capable Ethernet ports.

Group 2 includes the ports in the GEM module. Group 2, ports 1 through 4, are encrypted Ethernet ports. Group 2, ports 5 through 8, are Fibre Channel ports.

Figure 1-52shows how ports are numbered and grouped by function with the N5K-M1404 GEM installed.
