Identifying Interface Addresses

This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-2FEISL in supported platforms.
Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on the PA-2FEISL installed in a router maintain the same address regardless of whether other
port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the
first number in the interface address changes to reflect the new port adapter slot number.
Interfaces on a PA-2FEISL installed in a VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other
interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the
interface processor slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor slot.
Note Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.
