Interfaces and Related Technology-Specific Windows
Interfaces on line cards can support multiple technologies. Configuration windows are technology-specific. For example, a POS interface supports three configurable technologies: Generic, POS, and IP. Therefore, if you want to view or modify the configuration of a POS interface, you might need to view three windows:

•
This same process is applicable to all different types of interfaces. Table 8-1 outlines which technology-specific configuration windows apply to each interface type.
