Router Interface Numbering
Router Interface Numbering
Each network interface on a Cisco ASR 901 router is identified by a slot number and a port number,
explained in this sequence:
•Logical slot numbers starts from 0 for all built-in interfaces. The numbering format is Interface
type Slot number/Interface number. Interface (port) numbers begin at logical 0 for each interface
type.
•Logical interface numbering for T1/E1 ports on the TDM interface module runs from 0/0 through
0/15. Ports are numbered bottom to top, left to right.
•Logical interface numbering for the built-in ethernet ports runs from g0/0 through g0/3, the combo
ports run from g0/4 to g0/7 and the SFP ports run from g0/8 through g0/11. The GE ports are
numbered bottom to top, left to right.
