GE combination line card and their operating parameters.
8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 2:1 Oversubscribed Line Card with XFP
The 8-Port 10GE 2:1 oversubscribed line card provides eight cages for XFP Ethernet optical interface
modules that operate at a rate of 10 Gbps. The eight XFP modules can be 10GE multimode connections.
The 8-Port 10GE line card is a 40 Gbps line rate card with a maximum line rate of 8 ports at 50 percent
(2-1 oversubscribed).
Oversubscription results from port pairs sharing the same Network Processor Unit (NPU). The
oversubscribed port pairs are port 0:port 4, port 1:port 5, port 2:port 6 and port 3:port 7.
The 8-Port 10GE line card is available in base, extended, and low-queue versions. All versions are
functionally equivalent, but vary in configuration scale and buffer capacity.
Each XFP cage on the 8-Port 10GE line card has an adjacent Link LED visible on the front panel. The
Link LED indicates the status of the associated XFP port, as described in
Status LEDs, page
3-2.
Figure 1-2
shows the line card front panel and LEDs.
See
Table A-14
for a list of all XFPs supported on the 8-Port 10GE 2:1 oversubscribed line card and their
operating parameters.
