The 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet ISE line card ships with 256 MB of route memory and 512 MB of packet memory. Route memory is field serviceable. For more information on memory, see the “Line Card Memory” section on page 65.

10-Port 1-Gigabit Ethernet Line Card

The 10-Port 1-Gigabit Ethernet line card, which is designed for high-density and server-aggregation applications, provides the Cisco 12400 and 12800 Routers with 10 optical 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on a single line card. These interfaces provide high-speed connections to other network devices, such as another Cisco 12000 Series Router, other routers, or layer-2 or layer-3 switches that support Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Figure 2 shows a front view of the line card.

The 10 ports on the front panel of the line card are numbered 0 through 9, from the top of the card to the bottom. Each port consists of a receptacle for a field-replaceable SFP laser optical transceiver module, which is inserted into the receptacle to provide the Gigabit Ethernet optical interface.

Next to each port on the line card are three green LEDs, aligned vertically and labeled from top to bottom as follows: LINK, ACTIVE, and RX FRAME.

Note The 10X1GE-SFP-LC-B version of this card is not shown. The 10X1GE-SFP-LC-B model of the 10-Port 1-Gigabit Ethernet line card is enhanced with minor hardware features that are not available with the original design.

XR 12000 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems XR 12000 Series routers are designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments, ensuring high performance, scalability, and reliability for service providers and large enterprises. This series is engineered to deliver advanced features that facilitate a range of applications, including core routing, edge services, and data center interconnect.

One of the main features of the XR 12000 Series is its advanced routing capabilities. These routers utilize the Cisco IOS XR software architecture, which provides a modular and distributed operating system. This architecture enhances system reliability as individual processes can be restarted independently without affecting overall system operations. As a result, service providers can achieve higher uptime and enhanced service continuity.

The XR 12000 Series supports a robust set of technologies that enable efficient data handling and transport. Notably, the series includes support for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which enhances traffic engineering, distributed bandwidth management, and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. This makes the XR 12000 a preferred choice for operators looking to optimize their network performance under increasing traffic loads.

Furthermore, the XR 12000 Series excels in scalability. With a flexible modular design, operators can customize their systems to fit specific needs by adding additional line cards or service modules. These enhancements enable operators to scale both up and down based on fluctuating demands, accommodating numerous high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, cloud services, and IoT.

Security is another critical characteristic of the XR 12000 routers. Built-in cybersecurity features, including secure boot, strong encryption, and integrity checks, protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. Coupled with advanced monitoring and logging capabilities, these routers can help operators maintain robust security postures.

Additionally, the XR 12000 Series is designed to facilitate seamless integration with existing network infrastructures. The routers support various protocols and interfaces, which ensure interoperability with legacy systems and enhance overall network efficiency. This flexibility allows service providers to future-proof their investments while adapting to evolving technological landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco XR 12000 Series routers stand out for their advanced routing capabilities, scalability, robust security features, and compatibility with modern and legacy network infrastructures. These attributes make them an ideal choice for organizations seeking to enhance their networking capabilities in a rapidly changing digital environment.
