Instructions
On Connectrix DCX6 and DCX7 CR32-8 and DCX7-8 CR64-8 core blade, each QSFP(Quad SFP) port is 4 separate 32G or 64G ports. Here is a table that shows the mapping of physical ICL ports to 32G/64G ports on the DCX6 and DCX7.
Table 1: External ICL port numbering to "switchshow" Port numbering mapping for DCX6-8 CR32-8 and DCX7-8 CR64-8 code blade
According to above table, physical ICL port 0 corresponds to port 0-3 in "switchshow" (e.g.: slot 7/port 0 -3) and so on and so forth, with four online ports, there will only be one port LED lit on the blade. Below example is output of "switchshow" and a photo taken from DCX6-8B with ICL port 2 lit (port 8-11) accordingly.
