Interface Naming Conventions
Figure2-4 10-GE Uplink Card Interfaces
Ethernetdcc Interfaces
The in-band message channel OAM messages for inband management are sent and rece ived by the CPU
switch module through the ethernetdcc interfaces. The ethernetdcc interface connects to the switch
fabrics on the backplane side and the waveethernetphy interface on the front panel side .
The naming convention for ethernetdcc interfaces is as follows:
ethernetdcc slot/subcard/port
Each 10-GE uplink card has one ethernetdcc interface .
Tengigethernetphy Interfaces
The tengigethernetphy interfaces correspond to the laser on the 10-GE uplink cards. The
tengigethernetphy interface connects to the tengigethernetphy subinterface on the backplane side of
the 10-GE uplink card and to the wavepatch interface on the fron t pane l side . T his is an unc olor ed
interface that ca r r ie s 10 G ig a bi t E t h er n e t. This interface does not terminate layer 2 or layer 3 protocol
operations.
The naming convention for the tengigethernetphy interfaces is as follows:
tengigethernetphy slot/subcard/port
Each 10-GE uplink card has one tengigethernetphy int erfa ce .
Tengigethernetphy Subinterfaces
The tengigethernetphy interfaces are the backplane int erfa ce s on th e1 0-GE up l ink c a rd s. The
tengigethernetphy interface connects to the switch fabric.
