Chapter 1: Introduction
Port Names
The term port refers to a physical connector on a line card installed in the SSR. The figure
below shows eight 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX ports on a line card.
Each port in the SSR is referred to in the following manner:
<type>.<slot-number>.<port-number>
where:
<type> is the type of line card and can be one of the following:
at ATM line card
et 10 Base-X/100 Base-X Ethernet line card
gi 1000 Base-X Gigabit Ethernet line card
hs Dual HSSI WAN line card
se Serial WAN line card
so Packet-over-SONET line card
at ATM line card
<slot-number> is determined by the SSR model and the physical slot in which the line
card is installed. On the SSR 2000, the slot number is printed on the side of each slot.
On the SSR 8000 and SSR 8600, a legend printed on the fan tray shows the slot number
of each slot.
<port-number> is the number assigned to the connector on the line card. The range and
assignment of port numbers varies by the type of line card. The assignment of port
numbers by line card is shown in the table below:
