What Are Slots and Ports?

Slots and ports are two different types of network interfaces that allow devices to connect to the Internet. Ports provide a way for devices to connect to the network, while slots provide a way for devices to share resources on the network.

Slots are used by devices that need to connect to the network but don’t need access to resources on the network. Devices that use slots can be plugged into a port on the device they want to connect to and will automatically be assigned a port number.

Devices that use ports can be plugged into any port on the device and will be assigned a random port number.

Ports are used by devices that need access to resources on the network. Devices that use ports can be plugged into any port on the device and will have their assigned port number automatically assigned.
