Description

[QFX/EX] Interfaces representation with uplink slots connected on switches

Symptoms

Representation of interfaces when connected with uplink slots.

Solution

The juniper switches interfaces representation will be in the below format:

 

Type-(FPC-slot/pic-slot/port number)

 

type—Media type (ge,xe,et)
fpc—Number of the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) card on which the physical interface is located (FPC0,FPC1..etc)
pic—Number of the PIC on which the physical interface is located (0)(bulltin,additional pic-slots PIC-1 and PIC-2)
port—Specific port on a PIC (0)

 

The following example will help in identifying the interfaces based on the fixed built in slots and additional uplink slots that are connected.
