Example: Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
The following configuration is sufficient to get a Gigabit Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface up and running. By default, IPv4 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on MX Series, M Series, and T Series routers use 802.3 encapsulation. J Series Gigabit Ethernet interfaces do not support 802.3 encapsulation.

The M160, M320, M120, T320, and T640 2-port Gigabit Ethernet PIC supports two independent Gigabit Ethernet links.
Each of the two interfaces on the PIC is named:
ge-fpc/pic/[0.1]
Each of these interfaces has functionality identical to the Gigabit Ethernet interface supported on the single-port PIC.
