FIC Overview
Inspect the FIC to ensure that it receives incoming packets from the network, transmits
outgoing packets to the network, provides support for Ethernet ports, displays system
alarms, and takes PICs online or offline as needed.
A FIC is a component, built into the M7i router chassis, that receives incoming packets
from the network and transmits outgoing packets to the network, providing support for
Fast Ethernet ports or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, depending on which version of the FIC
is installed in the M7i router. You also monitor the FIC to view alarm status, and to perform
some system control functions, such as taking PICs online and offline.
There are two types of FICs: with fast Ethernet ports and with a Gigabit Ethernet port.
Figure 274 on page 544 shows the FIC with Fast Ethernet ports.

Figure 275 on page 545 shows the FIC with a Gigabit Ethernet port.
