Let's say that I have a device with four physical ports.
Port 3 is being used to speak to the rank-1.
Port 2 and Port 4 are being used to speak to downstream systems.
Port 1 is empty. New device goes on port 1.
Isn't that a renumber too?
Maybe there was a device on port 1 before, and it was removed.
