Understanding FPCs
Inspect the FPCs to ensure that they connect PICs to the rest of the router so that incoming
packets are forwarded across the midplane to the appropriate destination port.
The FPC is a component of the Packet Forwarding Engine. FPCs house the various PICs
used in the router.
The FPCs installed in the router depend on the platform and the PICs needed. Table 57
on page 215 provides some FPC characteristics for each router type.
For a listing of available FPCs and supported PICs, see the appropriate router hardware
guide and router PIC guide.
