M7i Fixed Interface Card (FIC) Description
The Fixed Interface Card (FIC) is built into the router chassis.
The FIC receives incoming packets from the network and transmits outgoing packets to
the network, providing support for Fast Ethernet ports or Gigabit Internet interfaces,
depending on which version of the FIC is installed in the router.
The FIC also allows you to view alarm status at a glance and to perform some system
control functions, such as taking PICs online and offline.
The FIC is located on the front of the chassis to the left of the Routing Engine and is not
a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
Each FIC consists of the following components:
•
The FIC has either two 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports or one Gigabit Ethernet port,
depending on which type of FIC is installed in the router. Table 33 on page 45 describes
the interface connectors. See Figure 14 on page 44 and Figure 15 on page 44.
For more information about Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, see the M7i
Multiservice Edge Router Interface Module Reference. The networking interface on the
FIC is configured the same way as a PIC. For more information about configuring
interfaces see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Library for Routing Devices.
•
Buttons on the FIC labeled PICS ON/OFF to take a Physical Interface Card (PIC) offline
when it needs to be removed, or bring it online when it is replaced.
•
Alarm LEDs and interface LEDs.
