Line Card and Route Processor Overview

Line Cards

Ports and connectors on the line card front panels provide interfaces for external connections. Line cards communicate with the RP and exchange packet data with each other through the switch fabric cards.

Caution Any unoccupied card slot in the line card and RP card cage must have a blank filler panel installed to meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements and to ensure proper air flow through the chassis. Also, if the front panel of a line card does not completely fill the card slot opening, a narrow card filler panel must be installed to meet the EMC requirements.

A cable management bracket on the front panel of each line card helps to organize the interface cables connected to that line card.

–The Cisco XR 12410 router supports online insertion and removal (OIR), allowing you to remove and replace a card while the router remains powered on.

The following line cards, SIPs, and SPAs are supported on the Cisco XR 12410 router:
