When referring to one of the switch's ports on the command line, use the syntax of slot/port to specify a specific slot and port. For example, add vnic foo.bar embedded/1. The slot number is always embedded for the leaf switch and the virtualization switch.

In command output, the port consists of the following elements:
Connection type – For example, network (gwEthernet) or FC SAN (sanFC).
Port type – IB, Ethernet, or FC.
Rate – For example, 1 Gbit/sec or 10 Gbit/sec.
Slot or port – Physical slot number or port number. An example of a slot and port on an I/O module is 2/2. For the leaf switch and the virtualization switch, the slot number is always embedded.These leaf and virtualization switch ports use the syntax of embedded/x.
