EX8216 Switch Hardware and CLI Terminology Mapping
This topic describes the hardware terms used in EX8216 switch documentation and the corresponding terms used in the Junos OS command line interface (CLI). See Table 1.
Table 1: CLI Equivalents of Terms Used in Documentation for EX8216 Switches
Hardware Item (CLI) | Description (CLI) | Value (CLI) | Item In Documentation | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chassis | EX8216 | – | Switch chassis | |
Midplane | EX8216-MP | – | Midplane | |
CB (n) | EX8216-RE320 | n is a value in the range 0–1. Two line items appear in the CLI if both control boards (CBs) are installed in the chassis. | Routing Engine (RE) module (The switch does not have actual control boards; the RE modules are the equivalent items on the switch.) | |
FPC (n) | On EX8200 standalone switches: Abbreviated name of the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) One of the following:
| n is a value in the range 0–15. The value corresponds to the line card slot number in which the line card is installed. | Line card (The switch does not have actual FPCs—the line cards are FPC equivalents on the switch.) | |
On EX8200 Virtual Chassis:
| On Virtual Chassis member 0, n is a value in the range of 0–15 ; on member 1, n is a value in the range of 16–31. | Slot number of the line card within the Virtual Chassis | ||
Xcvr(n) | Abbreviated name of the transceiver | n is a value equivalent to the number of the port in which the transceiver is installed. | Optical transceivers | |
SIB (n) | EX8216-SF320 | n is a value in the range 0–7. More than one line item appears in the CLI if multiple switch interface boards (SIBs) are installed in a chassis. | Switch fabric (SF) module (The switch does not have actual SIBs; the SF modules are the equivalent items on the switch.) | |
PSU (n) | One of the following:
| n is a value in the range 0–5. The value corresponds to the power supply slot number. | AC or DC power supply | |
Top fan tray | EX8216-FT | Two line items appear in the CLI if both fan trays are installed in the chassis. | Fan tray | |
Bottom fan tray | ||||
LCD (n) | EX8200 LCD | Value of n is always 0. | LCD panel | |
Plane (n) | This field indicates:
| n is a value in the range of 0–7. | Fabric plane | |
DPC (n) | N.A. | n is a value in the range of 0–15. | The switch does not have actual Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs)–the line cards are the DPC equivalents on the switch. | |
PIC (n) | – | Value of n is always 0. | – |
