For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.
•
fpc—Slot in which the DPC is installed. On the MX960 router, the DPCs are represented in the CLI as
FPC 0 through FPC 11.
•
pic—Logical PIC on the DPC. The number of logical PICs varies depending on the type of DPC. For
example, a:
•
20-port Gigabit Ethernet DPC has two logical PICs, numbered 0 through 1.
•
40-port Gigabit Ethernet DPC has four logical PICs, numbered 0 through 3.
•
2-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DPC has two logical PICs, numbered 0 through 1.
•
4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet DPC has four logical PICs, numbered 0 through 3.
For more information on specific DPCs, see “DPCs Supported on MX240, MX480, and MX960 Routers”
on page 66 in the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
•
port—Port number.
The MX960 router supports up to twelve DPCs that install vertically and are numbered 0 through 11 from
left to right.
Figure 20 on page 71 shows a 40-port Gigabit Ethernet DPC with SFP installed in slot 3 on the MX960
router.
