Overview of Cisco 2800 Series Routers
OL-5783-01
Interface Numbering
Note On the Cisco 2801 router, the numbering format for configuring an asynchronous interface is 0/slot/port.
To configure the line associated with an asynchronous interface, simply use the interface number to
specify the async line. For example, line 0/1/0 specifies the line associated with interface serial 0/1/0 on
a WIC-2A/S in slot 1. Similarly, line 0/2/1 specifies the line associated with interface async 0/2/1 on a
WIC-2AM in slot 2.
Table7 Interface Numbering on Cisco 2801 Series Routers
Slot Number Slot Type Interface Numbering Range
Onboard ports Fast Ethernet 0/0 and 0/1
0 VIC / VWIC (voice only) 0/0/0 to 0/0/3
1 HWIC / WIC / VIC / VWIC1
1. A VWIC in slots 1, 2, and 3 can operate in both data and voice mode; in slot 0, a VWIC can operate only in voice
mode.
0/1/0 to 0/1/3 (single-wide HWIC)
0/1/0 to 0/1/7 (double-wide HWIC)
2 WIC / VIC / VWIC10/2/0 to 0/2/3
3 HWIC / WIC / VIC / VWIC10/3/0 to 0/3/3 (single-wide HWIC)
0/3/0 to 0/3/7 (double-wide HWIC)
