Where did my asic go?

Hello,

I'm diving into switching details and saw the following:

# show controllers cpu-interface
ASIC    Rxbiterr   Rxunder    Fwdctfix   Txbuflos   Rxbufloc   Rxbufdrain
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASIC0     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC1     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC2     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC3     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC4     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC5     0          0          0          0          0          0
ASIC6     0          0          0          0          0          0

Above is an output of 4 switches in a stack:

Switch Ports Model              SW Version            SW Image
------ ----- -----              ----------            ----------
     1 28    WS-C3750G-24TS     12.2(46)SE            C3750-IPSERVICES-M
*    2 28    WS-C3750G-24TS     12.2(46)SE            C3750-IPSERVICES-M
     3 28    WS-C3750G-24TS-1U  12.2(46)SE            C3750-IPSERVICES-M
     4 28    WS-C3750G-24TS-1U  12.2(46)SE            C3750-IPSERVICES-M

When my math would be correct, I should see 4 switches with each 2 suppervisors: 4 * 2 = 8 ASIC's. But I only see 7 (0 t'm 6)

Where did my ASIC go?

I have to say that one ASIC doesn't have any sfp's inserted, so it's not in use probably, but is this the reason it's not showing up here?

What are you talking about ?

Each switch has 7 asic things o(f which one need not to care about), one switch at time is stack supervisor, that's it.

Hello p.bevilacqua,

When I read the following paper (page 49), I see 2 asic's for a 24 port 3750, and 3 for a 48 port:

I want to know more about this missing piece to understand it completely.
