Deriving Interface Indices
FTOS assigns an interface number to each (configured or unconfigured) physical and logical interface. 
Display the interface index number using the command 
show interface
 from EXEC Privilege mode, as 
shown in 
Figure 48-25.  Display the Interface Index Number
The interface index is a binary number with bits that indicate the slot number, port number, interface type, 
and card type of the interface. FTOS converts this binary index number to decimal, and displays it in the 
output of the 
show interface
 command. 
Figure 48-26.  Interface Index Binary Calculations
Starting from the least significant bit (LSB):
the first 14 bits represent the card type
the next 4 bits represent the interface type
the next 7 bits represent the port number
the next 5 bits represent the slot number
the next 1 bit is 0 for a physical interface and 1 for a logical interface
the next 1 bit is unused
For example, the index 72925242 is 100010110001100000000111010 in binary. The binary interface index 
for GigabitEthernet 1/21 of a 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T line card with RJ-45 interface is shown in 
physical, so this must be represented by a 0 bit, and the unused bit is always 0. These two bits are not given 
because they are the most significant bits, and leading zeros are often omitted.

GigabitEthernet 1/21 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Force10Eth, address is 00:01:e8:0d:b7:4e
    Current address is 00:01:e8:0d:b7:4e
Interface index is 72925242
