Channel Number - a unique channel ID of the vNIC on the adapter. This is referenced in the bind command under the virtual Ethernet interface on the Nexus 5000. The scope of the channel number is limited to the VNTag physical link. The channel can be thought of as a 'virtual link' on the physical link between the switch and server adapter.<br />

this gives a pretty good explanation. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-5000-series-switches/117691-config-5500switch-00.html" rel="ugc">http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-5000-series-switches/117691-config-5500switch-00.html</a>

trying to reverse engineer the fcoe network of a company we purchased. &nbsp; On the vethernet interfaces that the vfc interfaces are bound to, i see &nbsp;'bind interface Ethernet1/2 channel 7' specifying the physical interfaces. &nbsp; what does the command channel7 refer to? &nbsp; &nbsp;it's not a port-channel as there is not port-channel 7. &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />

From googling is see - channel Specifies that the virtual Ethernet interface be bound to a specified<br />

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
