Chapter 10 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet Half-Height Line Card Overview

Software and Hardware Compatibility

The line card uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module that supports a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX, BASET, and CWDM), which you can change or upgrade at any time.

For more information about Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) laser optical transceiver modules, see the Cisco CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP Installation Note at:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/gbic_sfp/gbic_doc/78_15222.htm

Note Only SFP modules purchased from Cisco work with the Gigabit Ethernet line card software.

Note For the longwave 1470 nm laser SFP module (CWDM-SFP-1470=), use a long reach single-mode cable or an attenuator with a short reach cable.

Software and Hardware Compatibility

To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software for the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether line cards within a system are compatible, but provides the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware line cards, modules, or options.

Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.

To access Software Advisor, go to Cisco.com and click Login, type Software Advisor in the Search box, and click Go. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.

Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software release needed for your hardware.

Line Card, Router, and Processor Compatibility

Table 10-2lists router model, line card, and processor compatibility.

Table 10-2	Line Card, Router, and Processor Compatibility

line card

1.Using the 1-port Gigabit Ethernet half-height line card with the PRE-1 is not recommended because of the bandwidth limitations on the PRE-1. Line rate speed in not achievable with the configuration of the 1-port Gigabit Ethernet half-height line card and PRE-1.
