Identify Active PICs on MPC5E-40G10G
MPC5E contains two Packet Forwarding Engines (PFEs) and 4 fixed port PICs. On MPC5E-100G10G, the
PFE0
hosts PIC0
and
PIC1
while PFE1
hosts
PIC2
and PIC3
.
You
can power on and use all PICs.
On the MPC5E-40G10G, the PFE0
hosts PIC0
and
PIC2
while PFE1
hosts
PIC1
and PIC3
.
You
can power on only two PICs
(PIC0
or PIC2
and PIC1
or
PIC3
).
You
must keep the remaining PICs powered off.
This topic describes the guidelines to consider while identifying active PICs on the MPC5E (MPC5E-40G10G):
By default, (i.e. without any CLI configuration), the system powers on
PIC0
(12x10GE) andPIC1
(12x10GE) and keepsPIC2
(3x40GE) andPIC3
(3x40GE) off.You must configure at least one PIC on every PFE in the power-off state.
PIC0
andPIC2
belong toPFE0
andPIC1
andPIC3
belong toPFE1
.If you configure an invalid PIC combination, the system automatically powers on the default PICs (
PIC0
andPIC1
) and displays a syslog message about the invalid selection. When you configure an invalid PIC combination and commit the change, the system completes the commit and does not show a commit failure message.
Table 1 lists the active PICs on MPC5E-40G10G based on the configuration.
