OS for EX Series Ethernet Switches, Release 10.4
operating system (Junos OS). This topic provides brief information on the naming
conventions used for interfaces on EX Series switches. For additional information, see

Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide
This topic describes:

Wildcard Characters in Interface Names on page 1243
Interfaces in Junos OS are specified as follows:
type-fpc / pic / port
EX Series switches apply this convention as follows:
type—EX Series interfaces use the following media types:
—Gigabit Ethernet interface
ge
—10 Gigabit Ethernet interface
xe
fpc—Flexible PIC Concentrator. EX Series interfaces use the following convention for
the FPC number in interface names:
On EX2200 switches, EX3200 switches, EX4200 standalone switches, and EX4500
switches, FPC refers to the switch itself. The FPC number is always
switches.
On EX4200 switches configured in a Virtual Chassis, the FPC number indicates the
member ID of the switch within the Virtual Chassis, from
On EX8200 standalone switches, the FPC number indicates the slot number of the
line card that contains the physical interface.
On an EX8200 Virtual Chassis, the FPC number indicates the slot number of the line
card within the Virtual Chassis. The line card slots in Virtual Chassis member 0 are
numbered 0 through 15; in member 1, they are numbered 16 through 31, and so on.
pic—EX Series interfaces use the following convention for the PIC (Physical Interface
Card) number in interface names:
On EX2200, EX3200, EX4200, and EX4500 switches, the PIC number is
built-in interfaces (interfaces that are not an uplink port).
On EX2200, EX3200, and EX4200 switches, the PIC number is
On EX4500 switches, the PIC number is
module and for uplink ports on right-hand uplink module.

On EX8200 switches, the PIC number is always
port—EX Series interfaces use the following convention for port numbers:
.
through
0
for uplink ports.
