MX960 MIC Port and Interface Numbering
Each port on a MIC corresponds to a unique interface name in the CLI.
NOTE: Fixed configuration MPCs, that is, MPCs with built-in MICs follow the port numbering
of DPCs.
In the syntax of an interface name, a hyphen (-) separates the media type from the MPC number (represented
as an FPC in the CLI). The MPC slot number corresponds to the first number in the interface. The second
number in the interface corresponds to the logical PIC number. The last number in the interface matches
the port number on the MIC. Slashes (/) separate the MPC number from the logical PIC number and port
number:
type-fpc/pic/port
•
type—Media type, which identifies the network device. For example:
•
ge—Gigabit Ethernet interface
•
so—SONET/SDH interface
•
xe—10-Gigabit Ethernet interface
For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.
•
fpc—Slot in which the MPC is installed. On the MX960 router, the MPCs are represented in the CLI as
FPC 0 through FPC 11.
•
pic—Logical PIC on the MIC, numbered 0 or 1 when installed in MIC slot 0 and 2 or 3 when installed in
MIC slot 1. The number of logical PICs varies depending on the type of MIC. For example, a:
•
20-port Gigabit Ethernet MIC has two logical PICs, numbered 0 and 1 when installed in MIC slot 0, or
2 and 3 when installed in MIC slot 1.
•
4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MIC has two logical PICs numbered 0 and 1 when installed in MIC slot 0,
or 2 and 3 when installed in MIC slot 1.
•
100-Gigabit Ethernet MIC with CFP has one logical PIC numbered 0 when installed in MIC slot 0 or
2 when installed in MIC slot 1.
For more information on specific MICs, see “MICs Supported by MX Series Routers” on page 99 in the
MX Series Interface Module Reference.
•
port—Port number.
NOTE: The MIC number is not included in the interface name.
