Overview

Overview

The Cisco 3640 router, a member of the Cisco 3600 series of routers, is a four-slot modular access router with interchangeable modules and WAN interface cards. The modular design of the router provides flexibility, allowing you to configure or reconfigure the router according to your needs.


Note The Cisco 3640 router is generally referred to as "the router" in this publication.

This chapter includes the following sections:


Features

The features of the router include:

Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the router.

Identifying Network Interfaces

Each individual network interface on the router is identified by a slot number and a unit number.


Slot Numbering

The chassis includes four slots in which you can install modules. You can install any module into any available slot in the chassis.

As shown in Figure 1-3, the slots are numbered from 0 to 3, as follows:

Figure 1-2 : Module Card Slots

Some modules have two small slots, labeled W0 and W1, for WAN interface cards. For example, Figure 1-3 shows the W0 and W1 slots of the 2 Ethernet 2 WAN card slot (2E 2-slot) module. You can 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.

Unit Numbering

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.

Figure 1-4 shows a router with a 2E 2-slot module in slots 0 and 1. Two serial WAN interface cards are installed in the module in slot 0. One serial and one ISDN BRI WAN interface card are installed in the module in slot 1.

As shown in Figure 1-4, the unit numbers are as follows:


Note The 2E 2-slot module described in this example provides both an attachment unit interface (AUI) and 10BaseT port. Only one of these ports can be used at a time. The module automatically detects which port, AUI or 10BaseT, is in use.
