Installation Manual

Numbering interfaces

Before installing a HIM/MIM, you must install a FIP. A FIP20 supports both HIMs and MIMs, while a

FIP-10 supports only MIMs.

The interfaces of the router are numbered in the form of interface-type X/Y/Z,

Where,

• interface-type: Type of the interface such as GE port and serial port.

• X: Number of the slot where the FIP resides.

• Y: Sub-slot number—The number of the slot where the HIM/MIM resides on the FIP.

• Z: Sequence number of the interface on the HIM/MIM.

NOTE:

• Different interface modules on the same FIP have the same slot number X.

• Different interfaces on the same HIM/MIM have the same sub-slot number Y.

• For each type of interface, the sequence number Z starts from 0 on the interface module.

Examples

Example 1

A FIP-10 is installed in slot 1 and a MIM-2GBE module is installed on the FIP-10.

1. If the MIM-2GBE is installed in slot 1 of the FIP-10, the GigabitEthernet interfaces are:

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/0

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/1

2. If the MIM-2GBE is installed in slot 2 of the FIP-10/FIP-100/FIP-110, the GigabitEthernet interfaces

are:

• GigabitEthernet 1/2/0

• GigabitEthernet 1/2/1

Example 2

A FIP-20 is installed in slot 1 and a HIM-4GBE module is installed on the FIP20.

1. If the HIM-4GBE is installed in slot 1 of the FIP20, the GigabitEthernet interfaces are:

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/0

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/1

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/2

• GigabitEthernet 1/1/3

2. If the HIM-4GBE is installed in slot 2 of the FIP20, the GigabitEthernet interfaces are:

• GigabitEthernet 1/2/0

• GigabitEthernet 1/2/1
