I am not without grammatical error.
never said i was.
BUT, If i say interface 3, you know im taking about an interface. if i say
port 3, you have no idea what layer im at, do you?

You should get slapped around for not capitalizing the first letter of a
sentence or the word "I", and for not using punctuation properly.
Let he who is without grammatical error cast the first misplaced modifier.

yeah, but i grew up getting slapped around everytime i referred to it as a
port.
i have "interface" embedded in my language =)
we can stop this thread though, i suppose, instead of starting a holy war =)

Interface: the place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet
and act on or communicate with each other
Port: a hardware interface by which a computer communicates with another
device or system
So who really decided which was more correct--interface or port? Who set
that standard?
When you talk about BRI on a router, is it a "Basic Rate Interface
Interface" or is it a "Basic Rate Interface Port" that you connect to?
Food for thought.
1. Gigabit Ethernet Port Adapter (PA-GE) (7100 and 7200VXR only)
The single port Gigabit Ethernet Port Adapter (PA-GE) provides a Gigabit
Ethernet connection for the Cisco 7200 series router.
2.
Verify the IP Address of the Router Ethernet Port
To verify the IP address, enter the show interface e0 command on the command
line. For example:
Router>show interface e0
Ethernet0 is up, line protocol is down
Hardware is PQUICC Ethernet, address is 0003.6bdc.0435 (bia
0003.6bdc.0435)
Internet address is 10.10.10.1/24
....
3.

Don't we have other things more important in our lives than correcting each
other's English based on our limited version of what we perceive is correct?
And if you must finish this argument, I would ask that you provide the
source of the original definition that "interface" has been defined to be
the only correct term to refer to a hardware-based network connection point?
Who has actually defined that "interface" is the only correct term?

Does the IEEE get it wrong? Check IEEE 802.1D, the bridging standard. It
uses ports for the physical "interfaces" on a bridge (switch).
