[j-nsp] EX3200 Interface Strangeness

[Bill Blackford]

That makes sense. I'm not at all happy with it, but it makes sense. I'm am using ge-0/1/0 which must correspond to ge-0/0/20.

Thanks.

The 3200 is setup so that if an uplink Mod is installed you loose the 
last X ports.  Example:   you have a 24x10/100/1000 with 4x1GigE card.  
If/when ports are active on this 4x1GigE card ports 20-23 become 
INACTIVE.  They are mutely exclusive.
