ABSTRACT:
A method of port numbering in an interconnect device includes loading a port configuration value from a memory device. One or more ports and subports are enabled according to the configuration value. Contiguous logical port numbers are assigned to the one or more ports and subports included in the interconnect device. A mapping request is received; and a mapped response associated with the mapping request is provided to an entity.
