Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification IfIndex Table Display Description You can display a list of all IfIndexes currently assigned to interfaces on the Passport 4460.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification 61 CLI Procedure for Displaying the IfIndex Table The following sample display is taken from a Passport 4460 with two expansion modules installed, an ISDN BRI S/T Voice module and a T1 Voice module. Below is a partial display of the IfIndex Table using CLI.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification IfIndex Table Display Definitions Interface Extension Type The interface extension type, shown as IfExtType in the display above, describes the port, protocol, service, or other interface identified by the IfIndex. The following table describes some of the common interface extension types seen on the Passport 4460. ethernetCsmacd The Ethernet port (10BASE-T or AUI) on the base module. This interface is always assigned IfIndex 1.
Appendix A IfIndexes and Interface Identification 63 For physical interfaces, the PPA number corresponds to the physical port number on the module. For logical or virtual interfaces, the number corresponds to a logical port or interface and is dependent on the interface module type. If a device does not support PPAs, the value -1 indicates that the field is not used as an identifier. Slot Name The physical interface module is the name that the Passport 4460 uses to identify a module interface.
