Cisco SCE 8000 Interface Numbering
Figure 3-1 shows the numbering of the Cisco SCE 8000 interfaces as indicated in the topology diagrams
in this chapter. The interface numbering is explained as follows:
• First digit is the slot number (always 3).
• Second digit is the number of the sub-slot or SPA module (0 to 3).
• Third digit is the number of the interface on the designated SPA module (always 0).
• Interfaces 3/0/0 and 3/2/0 are on the two left SPA modules and are the Subscriber-side interfaces.
• Interfaces 3/1/0 and 3/3/0 are on the two right SPA modules and are the Network-side interfaces.
