Cisco 3600 Series Router Unit Numbering - Cisco 2611XM Software Configuration Manual

Understanding Interface Numbering
Some modules have two small slots, labeled W0 and W1, for WAN interface cards. For example,
Figure 1-8
install WAN interface cards into the small module slots (W0 and W1). Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) Basic Rate Interface (BRI) WAN interface cards are keyed so that you can install them
into slot W1 only. Serial WAN interface cards can be installed into either slot, W0 or W1.

Cisco 3600 Series Router Unit Numbering

Cisco 3600 series routers unit numbers identify the interfaces on the modules and WAN interface cards
installed in the router. Unit numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left
and (if necessary) from bottom to top. Modules and WAN interface cards are identified by interface type,
slot number, followed by a forward slash
(/), and then the unit number; for example, Ethernet 0/0.
In the Cisco 3660 router, the fixed FastEthernet ports are located in chassis slot 0, and are identified

10BASE-T port. Only one of these ports can be used at a time. The module automatically detects
which port, AUI or 10BASE-T, is in use.
