Re: THEY ARE NOT PORTS THEY ARE INTERFACES! [7:16843]
I'm sorry, but I am finding this a bit warped because there are two quite different things being debated. 1. The syntax expected by the command interpreter on various Cisco boxes. Indeed, that discussion hasn't even covered the bases. How about line aux 0 int async 0 2. The architectural distinction between endpoints at various layers. ISO 7498, the OSI reference model, does not use either the term "port" or the term "interface". In fact, it doesn't deal with physical specifications at all. If one consulted the ISO Internal Organization of the Network Layer document, the closest you might get is an abstraction called a Subnetwork Point of Attachment (SNPA), for which there would be an SNPA-address. That's more or less at the port level. The IP equivalent would be more like the Network Service Access Point (NSAP) and NSAP-address. But OSI isn't IP. For IP, the relevant document would be RFC 2863 "The Interfaces Group MIB.", and possibly RFC 1812. In a Cisco specific context, an interface is something represented by an Interface Descriptor Block. See "Inside Cisco's IOS Software Architecture." Incidentally, this book does not use the term "port" in a general way, only with respect to such things as 7200 series port adapters. === For people trying to pass certification exams, I strongly recommend that you learn the appropriate command syntax for devices you expect to be tested on. In the absence of a quotable Cisco document that gives a Cisco-specific definition, I advise people to go to source documents. Don't argue what Berkowitz or Oppenheimer or Caslow or whomsoever say in their books, unless they are citing a well-understood IETF, ITU, ISO, etc. standard. >Sorry to say "official."

Re: THEY ARE NOT PORTS THEY ARE INTERFACES! [7:16843]
Hi, ' Well whilst on about ports. How about TCP sockets at least at one stage they used to be. Once upon a time you referred to a funny "D" shaped thing with 25 little holes in it as an RS232 serial port. Another with 15 pins as an AUI port. Yes Cisco refer to them as "interfaces" but others do call them ports. The trick here as I see it is to understand what you really are looking at after all "a rose is a rose ."

RE: THEY ARE NOT PORTS THEY ARE INTERFACES! [7:16843]
And if I use a word that sounds like "too", how do you know if I'm saying to, two, or two? Context!! If you say port, I might think you're either referring to a place where boats tie up to docks or you might be discussing wine. Or you could be "porting" software from one platform to another. Then again, if I'm chatting with my neighbor in the next cubicle over, are we interfacing or porting? Interfacing, I hope. If we're porting my wife will kill me! What about GUIs? They're not physical, they're logical. The point is that context is everything and if you refer to the physical connector as either an interface or a port, we'll all understand what you're referring to.

Here's how I like to deal with questions like this: Will knowing the answer ever help you troubleshoot a problem?

[7:16843] What would you consider interface s0.100 to be? Seems pretty logical to me. I think you'll find that both the terms interface and port have context sensitive meanings.

I missed the rest of the thread, but I don't see how using a term one way or another makes one a dork even though I believe strongly in technical accuracy.
