• Dedicated interface card—Provides a specific function. For example, the 1-port 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet interface card SIC-1FEA is used to implement communications between a router and a
LAN.
• Multi-function interface card—Provides multiple functions. For example, the 2-port channelized
E1/PRI interface card FIC-2E1 can be configured to provide E1, CE1, or ISDN PRI access on its
ports.
• Multi-operating mode card—Operates in different modes to provide different functions. Different
types of multi-operating mode cards might support different modes. You can change the operating
mode of a multi-operating mode interface card to use the card for different purposes.
