The CAT5k uses a similar syntax to describe the bus connection going to the RSFC. In this particular case, it represents an Ethernet on board controller located at bus number 0, device number 6. This can be verified with the "show eobc" command after 12.07 code, or possibly using the "show interface" command on your RSFC for CAT5ks. I believe that the virtual interface for the CAT5ks is an IBC0 (interface bus controller 0). This is not documented very well in the product DOCs. Also, if you ever get a status on other than up/up, you may have a problem where the RSFC/MSFC meets the Switching Engine. I had an RSFC go bad and it gave an up/down indication on the "show interfaces" command on the RSFC.
