Port Indexing
This section shows how to use the switchShow command to determine the mapping among the port index, slot or port numbers, and the
24-bit port ID (PID) on any Brocade Backbone. Enter the switchShow command without parameters to show the port index mapping for
the entire platform. Enter the switchShow -slot command for port mapping information for the ports on the blade in a specific slot.
Include the --qsfp option to list also the QSFP number, for slots that contain core blades.
This example shows the output of the switchShow command for a CR16-4 core blade in slot 3 of a Brocade DCX 8510-4 Backbone.
The leftmost column shows the unique port index. The second and third columns show the corresponding physical slot and port
numbers, respectively. The corresponding QSFP number for the port is also shown. For a core blade, no PID exists in the Address
column.
