Port Numbering Convention

On the switch, all ports operate by default in 40GbE mode. If you use a breakout cable, each port can
operate in 4x10GbE mode.
Ports are located on three line cards as shown below. The line cards are factory-installed and are not
hot-swappable or field-replaceable. On each line card, the fixed 40GbE ports are numbered from bottom
