48 Chapter 4 Managing the Passport 8672ATM Module with Device Manager
209195-A
The management systems identify an interface by its slot number (in the Passport
8600 series chassis) and its port number, using the syntax slot number/port
number (s/p). The Passport 8672ATM Module can contain up to eight ports when
two 4-port MDAs are inserted. Port numbers 1 to 4 are reserved for the MDA in
the left slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports. Port numbers 5 to 8
apply to the MDA in the right slot regardless of the actual physical number of
ports.
For example, a Passport 8672ATM Module in the third slot of the Passport 8600
series chassis with an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA in the left slot and an OC-3c/STM-1
MDA in the right slot has the following port numbers for management and
configuration:
• 3/1: OC-12c
• 3/5: OC-3c/STM-1, left port
• 3/6: OC-3c/STM-1, port second from left
• 3/7: OC-3c/STM-1, port second from right
• 3/8: OC-3c/STM-1, right port
As another example of port numbering, a Passport 8672ATM Module in the
second slot of the chassis with two OC-12c/STM-4 MDAs installed has the
following port numbers:
• 2/1: OC-12c/STM-4, left
• 2/5: OC-12c/STM-4, right
A Passport 8672ATM Module with two OC-3c/STM-1 MDAs installed has ports
numbered consecutively 1 through 8, from left to right.
Device Manager
Passport Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface tool
designed to manage single devices. In order to use Device Manager, you must
have network connectivity to a management station running Device Manager on
one of the supported platforms.
