Not sure if Cisco handles stuff differently (since I notice some vendors
don't automatically show the ports with intermapper). But if I add a Cisco
3550 (a "layer 3 switch" (aka a router)), it has behavior as router as in,
showing the subnets on each port. If I then right click, and set behavior,
and "show un-numbered" ports, I get the port numbers.
If I then go to one of the subnet bubbles, right click,
Display->Label... and select "Port Number" (Subnet list is already there),
it now shows the port number. Be sure to add a linefeed between "Subnet
list" and "Port Number".
Mind you, this is kind of a pain, but is this the information you are
after? To make things even more fun, you can drag a link out of one bubble
and attach it to another, just in case you are dealing with vlans. Then
you can use the "Port List" label as well.
As far as the port 1 madness, its just a matter of connecting the proper
uplink port to the subnet bubble, then your switch wont be orange. Heres
one of my maps, before I fixed all but 5 of the uplink port problems:

I'm a little new to intermapper, so please excuse any mis-interpretations,
or the "messy" map layout.

Hello-
On device properties in InterMapper Traditional, there is a box in the
upper-right hand corner that allows one to map a device as a Hub,
Switch, Router, or End System. In InterMapper Console/Remote, this
appears when one right-clicks on a device in Map Edit mode and selects
"Set Behavior."
The difference between these, as I understand it, is how the device's
links are mapped: in "Router" mode, the links correspond to
IP/AppleTalk subnets; in "Switch" mode, the links correspond to switch
ports. If it's read as a "Hub" or an "End System," only one link shows
up.
In switch mode, it appears that, if nothing is connected to port 1, the
device is in orange, even if the port might be unused. I can't hide
port 1 without making it appear on the map that the switch is
disconnected from the network. Could this be changed?
Please add an option to Map Device as a Layer-3 switch. What I envision
in this option is a way to present both the IP subnets present on a
device and the switch ports available on a device. Right now there is
some confusion as to whether a link represents an IP subnet or a switch
port: on the map they both appear as ovals by default. With a Layer 3
switch, maybe the switch ports can appear as small rectangles and the
subnets can appear as ovals.
An example of what happens is when I monitor my HP ProCurve 5308XL Layer
3 routing switch. If I select "Map device as switch," I get ovals
numbered by ifIndex. If I select "Map device as router," I get ports
corresponding to each individual subnet. What's more, if I then select
"Map device as router," all the subnets revert to one oval!
Does the Interfaces dialog box take care of some of this functionality?
Thanks,
Mark
