The system uses the interface name when displaying information about the interface, for example, in the show interfaces command.
eg Cisco: mediatype stack / slot / port like "ge-0/0/0" or " FastEthernet 0/0"
eg Juniper: mediatype stack / slot / port like "ge-0/0/0"
The convention is as follows (examples):
mediatype
xe - 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface
et - 25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet interface
em - management interface
fc - Fiber Channel interface
ge - Gigabit Ethernet interface
sxe - 10 gigabit service interface
xle - 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface
fte - 40-Gigabit data plane uplink interface
me - management interface
em - management interface
stack or module
On standalone switches, the stack number (or Flexible PIC Concentrator) is always 0 .
slot / module / submodule
The number indicates the slot number of the line card that contains the physical interface.
port
Interfaces use the following convention for port numbers: eg 1-48, sfp + 49 through 54
Setting up Naming Rules in Pathfinder
Add a new naming rule for ports
Add lookup values for media types by filling the list (lookup values) with all needed items
Add a text separator
Add the stack as a lookup value
Add a text separator
Add a lookup value for modules
Add a text separator
Add the number of the port
Using the Naming Rules in Pathfinder
Select the ports of a switch in the rack view for renaming them
Apply naming rule
