cCNI slot and port assignments
Each system core shelf contains a minimum of one and a maximum of four
cCNI cards. Each cCNI card contains two ports to support up to two Network
groups.
cCNI cards are identified by slot and port. Each port is assigned in software
to a specific Network group. Use the System Layout Plan to determine the
connections for your system.
• Each 3PE card has two faceplate connections: J3 and J4. Two cables are
used for each card.
• 3PE cards in Network shelves “0” are connected to the 3PE Fanout panel
in Core/Net 0.
• 3PE cards in Network shelves “1” are connected to the 3PE Fanout panel
in Core/Net 1.
Table 32 on page 250 specifies the Network group assignments for each
cCNI slot and port. These designations cannot be changed in software.
