The "ge" in the interface ge-1/2/3.4 stands for Gigabit Ethernet.
Juniper Networks, like many other networking equipment vendors, use a naming convention to identify network interfaces. This naming convention typically includes a prefix followed by a sequence of numbers and, optionally, letters that identify the interface's location and properties.
In Juniper's naming convention, the prefix identifies the type of interface. For example, "ge" is used for Gigabit Ethernet, "xe" for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, "fe" for Fast Ethernet, and "me" for Management Ethernet.
The sequence of numbers following the prefix identifies the physical location of the interface. In the example given, "1/2/3" identifies a particular slot, port, and subport on the router or switch. Finally, ".4" indicates a specific VLAN associated with that subport.
Therefore, the interface ge-1/2/3.4 represents a Gigabit Ethernet interface located in slot 1, port 2, subport 3, and associated with VLAN 4.
