This section describes how to configure POS SPAs and includes information about verifying the configuration.
It includes the following topics:
Specifying the Interface Address on a SPA
SPA interface ports begin numbering with “0” from left to right. Single-port SPAs use only the port number
0. To configure or monitor SPA interfaces, you need to specify the physical location of the SIP, SPA, and
interface in the CLI. The interface address format is slot/subslot/port, where:
• slot—Specifies the chassis slot number in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router where the SIP is installed.
• subslot—Specifies the secondary slot of the SIP where the SPA is installed.
• port—Specifies the number of the individual interface port on a SPA.
The following example shows how to specify the first interface (0) on a SPA installed in the first subslot of
a SIP (0) installed in chassis slot 2:
