Description
This document contains the Ethernet port mapping tables for CP3010, CP3260, CP3060, CP3020 and CP3220 for Linux and Solaris[TM]
Symptoms

cannot configure ethernet port
network problems on Node board
Node cannot communicate

Purpose/Scope

This document describes the naming conventions of various Node board ethernet ports for
Solaris and Linux

Steps to Follow
There are at least 4 Ethernet ports on each of the node blades (Netra[TM] CP3010, 3060, 3260, 3020. 3220)

- Two ports to BASE Fabric switches
One to Slot 7 and one to Slot 8
- Two ports connected to EXTENDED Fabric switches
One to Slot 7 and one to Slot 8

Some of the blades also have ports on the front panel or rear transition module.

Use the tables below to identify the various port names used.
