Interface Naming Conventions
Waveethernetphy Subinterfaces
The waveethernetphy subinterfaces are located on the backplane side of the10-Gbps ITU trunk cards.
The waveethern etphy i nte rface c onnec ts the switc h fabri c t o the waveetherne tphy in ter face. Eac h
waveethernetphy subinterface can handle 2.5 Gbps of data traffic.
The naming convention for the waveethernetphy subinterfaces is as follows:
waveethernetphy slot/subcard.subinterface
Each 10-Gbps ITU trunk card has four waveethernetphy subinterfaces.
Wavepatch Interfaces
The wavepatch interfaces are on the front panel of the 10-Gbps ITU trunk card. The waveethernetphy
interfaces connect to the wavepatch interfaces on the backplane side. The mux/demux filter interfaces
connect to the wavepatch interface on the front panel side.
A splitter10-Gbps ITU trunk card has two wavepatch interfaces. An nonsplitter10-Gbps ITU trunk card
has only one wavepatch interface.
The wavepatch interface operational state reflects the operational state of the corresponding
waveethernetphy interface. If the waveethernetphy interfaces are operation ally down, the corresponding
wavepatch interfaces are operationally down. Conversely, if the waveethernetphy interfaces are
operationally up, then the wavepatch interfaces are up. However, the administrative states of the
waveethernetphy and wavepatch interfaces are independently tracked.
The naming convention for wavepatch interfaces is as follows:
wavepatch slot/subcard/port
10-GE Uplink Card Interfaces
The 10-GE uplink cards have four types of interfaces:
•Ethernetdcc interfaces
•Tengigethernetphy interfaces
•Tengigethernetphy subinterfaces
•Wavepatch interfaces
Figure 2-4 shows the interfaces for the 10-GE uplink card.
