Vanguard 7300 Port Configuration
Introduction
	The Vanguard 7300’s unique port number system provides the physical and virtual
	port numbers required by the Applications Ware software for configuring the router
	on your network. These conventions accommodate the mix of cards that can be
	installed in a Vanguard 7300 chassis. This section described special-purpose
	Vanguard 7300 ports, their configuration, and programming considerations.
Port Numbering
	Vanguard 7300 port numbers are based on each card’s chassis slot number, rather
	than specific cards or physical locations. This way, whatever the card mix in your
	chassis, once configured, network management software can locate any referenced
	Vanguard 7300 port.
Port Number
	A Vanguard 7300 configuration port number is a three-digit number that always
Format	begins with the number of the board’s chassis slot -- chassis slots 1-5 on the 7310,
	and chassis slots 1-8 on the 7330.
	The Vanguard 7300 configuration port number format:
	spx
	where:
	s is the number of the chassis slot (1-5 for a 7310; 1-8 for a 7330)
	p is either:
	- 0 or 1 to signify a port on a full-size chassis card
	- 5 to indicate a port on a PMC
	x is the number of that port on the full-size or PMC
	For example, if your Vanguard 7300 has an 8-port Serial card in chassis slot four, the
	configuration port numbers for those ports would be 401 through 408. For a Carrier
	Expansion Card in chassis slot two with two PMC ports in the first PMC slot, the
	Carrier Expansion Card’s configuration port numbers would be 251 and 252.
Virtual Ports
	Wide Area Network (WAN) virtual ports are numbered in sequence in a range of 51
	through 1000. Voice and data virtual ports are numbered sequentially from 2000
	through 4000.
