This section describes how to configure channelized T3 intelligent queuing (IQ) interfaces, discussing the following topics:
To configure a T3 interface, include the no-partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level:
- [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port]
-
no-partition interface-type t3;
This configuration creates interface t3-fpc/pic/port.
On a Channelized DS3 IQ or IQE Physical Interface Card (PIC), you can create up to 112 T1 interfaces. To configure a T1 interface on a Channelized DS3 IQ or IQE PIC, include the partition and interface-type statements at the [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level, specifying the t1 interface type:
- [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port]
-
partition partition-number interface-type t1;
This configuration creates interface t1-fpc/pic/port:channel.
The partition number is the sublevel interface partition index and is correlated with the channel number. For channelized T3 interfaces, the partition number can be from 1 through 28.

Note: For channelized T3 interfaces, channel numbering begins with 0 (:0). For channelized T3 IQ and IQE interfaces, channel numbering begins with 1 (:1). |
The interface type is the channelized interface type or clear channel you are creating. For channelized T3 interfaces, type can be ct1 or t1.
Configure the following five T1 interfaces:
- [edit interfaces ct3-0/0/0]
- partition 1-5 interface-type t1;
For a full configuration example, see the JUNOS Feature Guide.
By default, all the time slots on a channelized T1 interface are used. To configure a fractional T1 interface on a Channelized DS3 IQ or IQE PIC, you must perform the following tasks:
This configuration creates interface t1-fpc/pic/port:channel.
- [edit interfaces t1-fpc/pic/port t1-options]
-
timeslots time-slot-range;
For channelized T1 IQ interfaces, the time-slot range is from 1 through 24. You can designate any combination of time slots. To configure ranges, use hyphens. To configure discontinuous time slots, use commas. Do not include spaces. For more information about T1 time slots, see Configuring Fractional T1 Time Slots.
Configure a fractional T1 interface that uses time slots 1 through 10:
- [edit interfaces ct3-0/0/0:1]
- partition 1 interface-type t1;
- [edit interfaces t1-0/0/0:1:1 t1-options]
- timeslots 1-10;
For a full configuration example, see the JUNOS Feature Guide.
By default, all the time slots on a channelized T3 interface are used. To configure an NxDS0 IQ interface on a Channelized DS3 IQ or IQE PIC, you must perform the following tasks:
- [edit interfaces ct3-fpc/pic/port]
-
partition partition-number interface-type ct1;
This configuration creates interface ct1-fpc/pic/port:channel.
The partition number is the sublevel interface partition index and is correlated with the channel number. For channelized T1 interfaces, the partition number can be from 1 through 28.
The interface type is the channelized interface type or clear channel you are creating. For channelized T3 interfaces, type can be ct1 or t1.

partition partition-number timeslots time-slot-range interface-type ds;
For channelized T1 IQ interfaces, the partition number range is from 1 through 28; the time-slot range is from 1 through 24. You can designate any combination of time slots. To configure ranges, use hyphens. To configure discontinuous time slots, use commas. Do not include spaces. For more information about T1 time slots, see Configuring Fractional T1 Time Slots.
Configure the following two NxDS0 interfaces with 10 time slots and 4 time slots, respectively:
- [edit interfaces ct3-0/0/0]
- partition 1 interface-type ct1;
- [edit interfaces ct1-0/0/0:1]
- partition 1 timeslots 1-10 interface-type ds;
- partition 2 timeslots 12-16 interface-type ds;
For a full configuration example, see the JUNOS Feature Guide.
