Monitoring the FIC
You monitor the Fixed Interface Card (FIC), which receives incoming packets from
the network and transmits outgoing packets to the network, providing support for
Fast Ethernet ports or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, depending on which version of
the FIC is installed in the M7i router. You also monitor the FIC to view alarm status,
and to perform some system control functions, such as taking Physical Interface
Cards (PICs) online and offline. (See Table 103.)
