Channel Identifier Part of an Interface Name

The channel identifier part of the interface name is required only on channelized interfaces. For channelized interfaces, channel 0 identifies the first channelized interface. For channelized intelligent queuing (IQ) interfaces, channel 1 identifies the first channelized interface.

Note: Depending on the type of channelized interface, up to three levels of channelization can be specified. For more information, see the Junos Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.

A colon (:) separates the physical and virtual parts of the interface name:
