Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting component rotation within a communication assembly are provided. In certain embodiments, a system includes a plurality of modules; and a plurality of ports installed in each module in the plurality of modules, each port being associated with a port identification number, wherein port identification numbers for the plurality of ports are independently numbered from the port identification numbers for at least one other module in the plurality of modules. The system also includes a management entity configured to identify the ports on the plurality of modules, wherein the management entity uses remapped port identification numbers to identify the ports, wherein each remapped port identification number associated with each port in the plurality of modules is unique.
