Figure 47. Physical Interface Numbering on the FDDI Media Card

The diagram shows physical interface numbering to be 0-based (0–3),
whereas SNMP numbering is 1-based (1–4).

4.4.4 GRF Interface Name

The GRF interface name has five components that describe an individual
FDDI interface in terms of its place on the media card and in the GRF router.

Follow the naming conventions shown in Figure 48 and keep in mind that all
interface names are case sensitive and that you must use all lowercase.
