Physical Interfaces
On M Series and T Series routers, physical interfaces are installed on PICs and use the syntax type-fpc/pic/port. On J Series routers, physical interfaces are installed on PIMs and use the syntax type-pim/0/port. Physical interfaces are described in the following sections:
- M Series and T Series Router Physical Interfaces
- MX Series Router Physical Interfaces
- J Series Router Physical Interfaces
M Series and T Series Router Physical Interfaces
Table 5 lists the physical interfaces that are supported on the M Series and T Series routers.
