Fixed 4x10-Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Cisco ASR 9001 Router has four integrated 10 GE small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports that
operate at a rate of 10 Gbps.
Each fixed SFP+ port has an adjacent Link LED visible on the front panel. The Link LED indicates the
status of the associated SFP+ port.
Note In Cisco ASR 9001-S Router, two 10 GE fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled by default,
and can be enabled by a license upgrade.
