LED Status Meaning
Blinking yellow Data is being received or transmitted at a rate of 10/100 Mbps.
Slots
FIP-210s can be inserted in Slot 0 through Slot 3 and Slot 6 through Slot 9 on the A6616. The
interface module slots on a FIP-210 are numbered 1 and 2 from right to left, as shown in Figure
1-25.
Figure 1-25 Interface module slots on the FIP-210
The numbers 1 and 2 in Figure 1-25 represent Slot 1 and Slot 2 respectively.
If only one MIM module is to be inserted into the FIP-210, it should be inserted into Slot 2
because only this slot has a connector.

Detailed Descriptions of FIPs
Ethernet interface introduction
The FIP of the router provides two Combo interfaces, each of which consists of an electrical
Ethernet interface and an optical Ethernet interface. The default operating interface is the
electrical Ethernet interface.
For the rate and duplex mode when the electrical Ethernet interface is operating, see Table 1-
29.
Table 1-29 Rate and duplex mode when the electrical Ethernet interface is operating
Rate Duplex mode
10 Mbps Half/full-duplex auto-negotiation
100 Mbps Half/full-duplex auto-negotiation
1000 Mbps Full-duplex
The electrical Ethernet interface LEDs are above the RJ-45 connectors. The LEDs in triangle
and inverted triangle indicate the status of the lower and upper electrical Ethernet interfaces,
respectively. For the description of the electrical Ethernet interface LEDs, see Table 1-18, Table
1-21, Table 1-24, and Table 1-27.
The optical Ethernet interface supports 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode. The optical Ethernet
interface LEDs are on the left of the two Combo interfaces and use separate LEDs to indicate
the status of the corresponding optical Ethernet interfaces. For the description of the optical
Ethernet interface LEDs, see Table 1-18, Table 1-21, Table 1-24, and Table 1-27.
