Ahmed,

This numbering scheme is primarly used for switches that can be stacked together. You can stack to physical switches together to make logical switches. Example:-

If you have 1 x 48 port switch, you see ports 1 to 48 as:-

1/0/1 - 1/0/48

If you add another 48 port switch - as it's the second of the stack you would see ports 1 to 96 as:-

Switch 1 - stack member 1

1/0/1 - 1/0/48

Switch 2 - stack member 2

2/0/1 - 2/0/48

You still have 2 physical switches, and 96 switch ports, but logicall in the config you see 1 switch and 2 x 48 ports. If you added a third switch:-

Switch 3 - stack member 3

3/0/1 - 3/0/48

all the way up to 9 switches in a stack.

HTH.

Hi

I think by default u r switch will be the member switch with member number 1.So due to this it might have this interface indentification scheme.

Thanks
