Abstract
Various examples provide a method and apparatus of generating a system port identity. According to the method, a member device may determine a value c which is the number of unit IDs to be allocated to a chip in an interface board of the member device, c is larger than 1; generate a system port identity which identifies a port in the stack for each of plural first ports of the chip using a first unit ID of the c unit IDs; generate a system port identity for each of plural second ports of the chip other than the first ports using a second unit ID of the c unit IDs.

A method of generating a system port identity, applicable to a member device in a stack, comprising:
- determining, by a member device, a value c which is the number of unit identities (ID) to be allocated to a chip in an interface board in the member device, wherein c is larger than 1;
- generating, by the member device, a system port identity which identifies a port in the stack for each of plural first ports of the chip using a first unit ID in the c unit IDs;
- and
- generating, by the member device, a system port identity for each of plural second ports of the chip other than the first ports using a second unit ID in the c unit IDs.
A member device in a stack, comprising a processor and a memory which stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor to:
- determine a value c which is the number of unit IDs to be allocated to an interface board in the member device, wherein c is larger than 1;
- generate a system port identity which identifies a port in the stack for each of plural first ports of the chip using a first unit ID in the c unit IDs;
- and
- generate a system port identity for each of plural second ports of the chip other than the first ports using a second unit ID in the c unit IDs.
A machine-readable storage medium, storing instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- determine a value c which is the number of unit IDs to be allocated to an interface board in the member device, wherein c is larger than 1;
- generate a system port identity which identifies a port in the stack for each of plural first ports of the chip using a first unit ID in the c unit IDs ;
- and
- generate a system port identity for each of plural second ports of the chip other than the first ports using a second unit ID in the c unit IDs.
