MX Series MIC Overview
Modular Interface Cards (MICs) install into Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) and
provide the physical connections to various network media types. MICs allow different
physical interfaces to be supported on a single line card. You can install MICs of different
media types on the same router as long as the router supports those MICs.
MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the
network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for
its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces,
the MPCs encapsulate the packets received.
MICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. You can install up to two MICs in the slots
in each MPC.
