Each module display contains individual port boxes that can display a variety of
information about each port (see
Selecting a Port Display Form , page 2-12 ). For
an RLP, up to eight serial ports can be present (four on each of two possible Line
Interface Cards, or LICs); for a LAN card, only a single port interface is provided.
For the FRX4000 and the SmartSwitch 1800, the Base LIC and Exp (Expansion)
LIC correspond to LIC 1 and LIC 2 on each FRX6000 RLP card.
NOTE
LAN card indexing is determined simply by the order in which the installed LAN cards
are identiÞed during the initial FRX6000 Þrmware installation. During the Þrmware
installation, you will be prompted to enter the number of LAN cards you have installed,
then prompted to supply their type. The order in which you enter the type information
determines the indexing.
If you have two cards of the same type, you will need to distinguish them by physical
address, as there is no way to control which index is assigned to which card. The physical
address is displayed in the LAN Port Information window, described on
page 2-23 .
