supported modules and interfaces.
Multi-Gigabit Fabric
Communication
Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series ISRs use a
MGF
4
for the new modules and interface cards to inter-communicate on
the router. Legacy modules that support Cisco HIMI
5
also support MGF
to inter-communicate on the router. Next generation module drivers
integrate with the MGF to perform port configurations, configure packet
flow, and control traffic buffering. All configurations are performed from
the module-side, which may or may not lead to changes on the MGF. For
more information, see the
“Configuring Multi-Gigabit Fabric
Communication” section on page 211
