Answer

No, interface 1/1 is not a physical port, it is a LAG, the configuration for interface 1/1 includes interface 0/55 and interface 0/56, and after applying the RCF, it will be displayed as interface lag 1 in the running configuration.

Configuration details from RCF:

interface 1/1
no shutdown
description "Cluster ISL"
service-policy in WRED_100G
no port-channel static
port-channel load-balance 7
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
The LAG is composed of the following ports:
port-channel name 1/1 Cluster-ISL
interface 0/55
addport 1/1
exit
interface 0/56
addport 1/1
exit
Other relevant configurations:
interface 0/1-0/16

description "10/25GbE Node Port"
service-policy in WRED_25G
spanning-tree edgeport
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
datacenter-bridging
priority-flow-control mode on
priority-flow-control priority 5 no-drop

description "Cluster ISL Port"
service-policy in WRED_100G
mtu 9216
switchport mode trunk
