Physical Interfaces—Each line card has at least one, if not
multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of physical interface
is equivalent to the type of line card the interface resides on. Each
physical interface can support multiple technologies (for details,
see “Physical Interfaces and Technologies” section on page 2-5)
The line card type determines what specific technologies are
suppo rte d by an int erfac e.
