The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card is a fixed-port Ethernet line card for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. The line card is capable of 40-Gbps full-duplex traffic forwarding using a fixed-port interface design. This line card has twenty 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
The Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) and 10-Gbps SFP (XFP) modules allow you to configure the line card for different media types and different optical requirements, as available. The line cards have one power LED, one line-card status LED, and 22 port or link-status LEDs.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards have the twenty 1 Gigabit Ethernet and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports built in, allowing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers to achieve greater Ethernet density and a lower price per port. The Ethernet line card takes the slot of the SIP with the twenty 1 Gigabit Ethernet and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports built in.
