Numbering Interfaces

Before installing a HIM/MIM, you must install a FIP first. A FIP-200/FIP-210 supports both HIMs
and MIMs, while a FIP-100/FIP-110 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 interface and serial interface.

X: Number of the slot where the FIP resides.

Y: Sub-slot number, namely, the number of the slot where the HIM/MIM resides on

the FIP.
Z: Sequence number of the interface on the HIM/MIM.

Different interface modules on the same FIP have the same slot number X.

Different interfaces on the same interface module 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-100 is installed in Slot 3 and a MIM-2GBE module is installed on the FIP-100.
Numbers of fixed GigabitEthernet interfaces on the FIP-100
GigabitEthernet 3/0/0

GigabitEthernet 3/0/1

The sub-slot number Y of fixed GE interfaces on a FIP of the router is 0.
Numbers of GigabitEthernet interfaces on the MIM-2GBE module
1) If a MIM-2GBE module is installed in Slot 1 of the FIP-100, the numbers of
GigabitEthernet interfaces are:
GigabitEthernet 3/1/0

GigabitEthernet 3/1/1

2) If a MIM-2GBE module is installed in Slot 2 of the FIP-100, the numbers of
GigabitEthernet interfaces are:
GigabitEthernet 3/2/0

Slot 0 through Slot 3, Slot 6 through Slot 9
Slot 0 through Slot 3, Slot 6 through Slot 9
