Interface name

The SP Switch Router interface name has five components that describe an individual interface in terms of its physical slot location in the chassis, and its specific and virtual locations on a media card.

In a 4-card SP Switch Router, model 04S, the SP Switch Router Adapter card interface names look like these: gt000, gt010, gt020, gt030 (only the slot # changes, 0 – 4).

Figure 2-5defines the components in the SP Switch Router Adapter card interface name:

g t 0 y 0

1st:

always “g” for GRF

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2nd:

media type, t (SP Adapter), f (FDDI), h (HIPPI), e (100Base-T), etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3rd:

chassis number, always “0” (zero)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4th:

slot number in hex

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5th

logical interface number in hex, always “0” (zero)

Internet address

The Internet address is the 32-bit IP address for the specified logical interface. Enter this address in standard dotted-decimal (octet) notation: xx.xx.xx.xx. This value must match any entered into /etc/grdev1.conf.

Netmask

Netmask is the 32-bit address for the logical IP network on the physical network to which the specific SP Switch Router or media card physical interface is attached. The netmask is entered in standard dotted-decimal (octet) notation. If no destination/broadcast address is supplied, a netmask is required. This value must match any entered into /etc/grdev1.conf.

Broadcast / destination address

The broadcast or destination address is the 32-bit address for this network. Enter the broadcast or destination address in standard dotted-decimal (octet) notation. When a broadcast IP address is assigned to a logical interface, the netmask value is ignored. A dash (-) can be entered in the netmask column, or it can be left blank.

The connection of the SP Switch Router Adapter card to the SP system is point-to-multipoint.
