MSA1000 - Switch 2/8 Port 0 reserved for internal use?

Hi, I am examining a new MSA1000 recently rolled out to 2 x Win2003 boxes. The "switchshow" below shows Port 0 allocated, yet I can physically only see Ports 1-7 on the Fibre Switch itself.

I have looked through the MSA1000 documentation and there is nothing that indicates what Port 0 is doing. Any hints?

Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

Port 0 is internal, the MSA1000 controller is connected to it.
