Default Settings for Serial Interface Configurations
When an interface is enabled on a T3/E3 SPA, and no additional configuration commands are applied,
the default interface settings shown in Table 21 are present. These default settings can be changed by
configuration.
Note Default settings do not appear in the output of the show running-config command.
Serial Interface Naming Notation
The naming notation for serial interfaces on a clear channel SPA is rack/slot/module/port, as shown in
the following example:
interface serial 0/0/1/2
The naming notation for T1, E1, and DS0 interfaces on a channelized SPA is
rack/slot/module/port/channel-num:channel-group-number, as shown in the following example:
interface serial 0/0/1/2/4:3
