The VSP3 card has virtual ports that communicate over the backplane of the
Passport, and has two gigabit Ethernet (gigE) ports. You can use either the
virtual ports or the gigE ports to communicate with an Internet Protocol (IP)
local area network (LAN). Using the gigE ports enables having a direct
Ethernet port connection to an IP network without needing an Ethernet card
as an interface.
