For the purpose of the stability of an interface index, the system will save the 16-bit interface index when

a logical interface is removed.

If you repeatedly to create or delete a large number of logical interfaces, the interface indexes will be

used up, which will result in interface creation failures. To avoid such a case, you can clear all 16-bit

interface indexes saved but not used in the current system in user view.

After the above operation,

z

For a re-created interface, the new interface index may not be consistent with the original one.

z

For existing interfaces, their interface indexes remain unchanged.

Follow these steps to clear the 16-bit interface indexes not used in the current system:

To do…

Use the command…

A confirmation is required when you execute this command. If you fail to make a confirmation within 30

seconds or enter N to cancel the operation, the command will not be executed.

Identifying and Diagnosing Pluggable Transceivers

Introduction to pluggable transceivers

At present, four types of pluggable transceivers are commonly used, as shown in

Table 1-1

. They can

be further divided into optical transceivers and electrical transceivers based on transmission medium.
