Chapter 4
Managing the Passport 8683POS Module
Two management tools enable you to manage the Passport 8683POS Module:
Device Manager and command line interface (CLI). You can also use the
embedded web-based management feature to monitor the Passport 8683POS
Module. See Chapter 7, Web management, on page 131 for information on
using the web-based management feature.

Port numbering
You must insert an MDA into the Passport 8683POS Module in order to have
connectivity. The module contains three slots for MDAs, and you can mix and
match from among the following MDAs, which are available (SMF and MMF):
1-port OC-12c/STM-4
2-port OC-3c/STM-1
The management system identifies 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). Because the Passport 8683POS Module can have up to six ports with three
2-port MDAs inserted, port numbers 1 and 2 are reserved for the MDA in the left
