Port Indexing
A
Example of port indexing on an FC8-64 blade on a Brocade DCX-4S Backbone.
The Brocade DCX-4S does not need a mapping of ports on port blades because it is a one-to-one
mapping. The order is sequential starting at slot 1 port 0 all the way through slot 8 port 255 for the
FC8-64 blade. For core blades, the port index mapping for the blade in slot 3 begins with port index
256, and port index mapping for the core blade in slot 6 begins with port index 736. There are no
shared areas on the Brocade DCX-4S.
The following example switchShow output is from a Brocade DCX-4S. It shows the index and PID
addressing. The output has been truncated.

Example of port indexing on an FX8-24 blade on a DCX 8510-8 Backbone
This example shows the truncated switchShow output for an FX8-24 application blade on the
Brocade DCX 8510-8 Backbone. The assignment of port index numbers to PIDs will vary depending
on blade type, platform type, and slot number.
