You must install an MDA into the Passport 8672ATME Module in order to have connectivity. The module contains two slots for MDAs, and you can mix and match among the following MDAs, which are available in both SMF and MMF:
The management systems identify an interface by its slot number (in the Passport 8600 series chassis) and its port number, using the syntax slot number/port number (s/p). The Passport 8672ATME Module can contain up to eight ports when two 4-port MDAs are inserted. Port numbers 1 to 4 are reserved for the MDA in the left slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports. Port numbers 5 to 8 apply to the MDA in the right slot regardless of the actual physical number of ports.
For example, a Passport 8672ATME Module in the third slot of the Passport 8600 series chassis with an OC-12c/STM-4 MDA in the left slot and an OC-3c/STM-1 MDA in the right slot has the following port numbers for management and configuration:
As another example of port numbering, a Passport 8672ATME Module in the second slot of the chassis with two OC-12c/STM-4 MDAs installed has the following port numbers:
A Passport 8672ATME Module with two OC-3c/STM-1 MDAs installed has ports numbered consecutively 1 through 8, from left to right.
