In some implementations, a network device may cause instantiation of a base container associated with a line card of the network device. The network device may cause, based on causing the instantiation of the base container, instantiation of a module container associated with a physical interface module of the line card of the network device. The network device may manage, using the base container, a forwarding table associated with the line card. The network device may manage, using the module container, one or more physical components of the physical interface module.

Enabling online insertion and removal of a physical interface module of a line card of a network device

An example network device includes a plurality of network ports that each facilitate one or more network links between the network device and one or more remote devices, a plurality of indicators each configured to represent a status of a respective one of the plurality of network ports on the network device, and processing circuitry configured to reconfigure at least one of the plurality of indicators to represent a link-status of the one or more network links of at least one network port of the network device in response to a command.
