Cisco 3745 Router Slot Numbering
The numbering format in the Cisco 3745 router is Interface type Slot number/Interface number. Two
examples are:
FastEthernet0/0
Serial 1/2.
The slot numbers are as follows:
• 0 for all built-in interfaces
• 0 for all WIC interfaces
• 1 for the lower right network module slot
• 2 for the lower left network module slot
• 3 for the upper right network module slot
• 4 for the upper left network module slot
If double-wide network modules are installed, the slot numbers are as follows:
• 2 for the lower double-wide slot
• 4 for the upper double-wide slot
Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left and (if
necessary) from bottom to top.
