Module: CISCO-VIRTUAL-SWITCH-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-VIRTUAL-SWITCH-MIB::cvsModuleSlotNumber
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.388.1.4.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Unsigned32
Access: read-only
Description: The module slot number for this physical module. If it is in the virtual switch environment, this object returns virtual slot number. If it is in the standalone environment, this object returns physical slot number.
What is cvsModuleSlotNumber?
This Unsigned32 object gives the slot number of a physical module, returning the virtual slot number if the chassis is part of a virtual switch or the physical slot number if it's standalone. This distinction matters because virtual switch slot numbering can differ from the physical chassis slot layout, and confusing the two leads to configuring or replacing the wrong card. An admin dispatched to swap a failed module would read this object first to be sure they're pulling the physically correct slot rather than the virtual-switch-reported one.
