36 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER
Command line interface 3Com 6000 Series Router command line interface provides a rich set of
configuration commands, which are grouped in system view. A group corresponds
a view. You can switch between different views through commands. Normally,
only some specific commands can be executed in a certain view, although some
common commands, (such as ping, display current-configuration, and interface)
can be used in every view.

Interface Numbering
Rules
3Com 6000 Router supports various interfaces, such as CON port, AUX port,
Ethernet port, (synchronous/asynchronous) Serial port, and Asynchronous port.
The interfaces are configured in the order of sequence number.

Interface numbering rule
6000 interfaces are numbered in three dimensions. The rules are as follows:
■ The interfaces are numbered in the interface-type X/Y/Z format, in which,
interface specifies the interface type (as serial, asynchronous, ethernet or ATM,
etc.), X specifies the slot number, Y specifies the board number (or is fixed as 0
when there is no board), and Z specifies the interface sequence number.
■ As shown in the above figure, different interfaces of an interface module share
the same slot number X.
■ For every interface, Y starts from 0 and Z indicates the interface sequence (from
left to right) on the interface module.
