We had to infer the ordering a year or so ago, it's not exactly easy (we
even asked Cisco Denmark, if my memory is correct, then they had trouble
figuring it out as well).
(1st) You have to count the two internal VLAN interfaces as the first
two interfaces in the CID numbering (or just accept, that the interfaces
counts from 3).
(2nd) Count the first 24 interfaces into the CID numbering.
(3th) Count the first one or two SFP uplink ports count as the next
couple of interfaces in the CID numbering.
(4th) Count the last 24 interfaces (if you have a 48 port switch).
(5th) Now count the other one or two SFP uplink ports (again only if you
have a 48 port switch).
The trick about the last two steps really hit us hard. Please test
extensively and on multiple ports on multiple switches.
We had a lot of trouble inferring these rules from testing, and it's
really irritating that the 3550, 3560 and 4500 series follows different
rules. I can only recommend that you configure your own installation id
onto the CID of each port and forget about vlan-mod-port.
