48-port SFP Line Card in an EX8200 Switch

The line cards in EX8200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces on a single assembly. They are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions.

EX8200 switches use four types of line cards:

•8-port SFP+ line card

•40-port SFP+ line card

•48-port SFP line card

•48-port RJ-45 line card

You can use any combination of line cards in an EX8200 switch.

The 48-port SFP line card for EX8200 switches (see Figure 15 on page 34) has 48 1-gigabit SFP ports on the faceplate in which you can install SFP transceivers. The line card is shipped with 48 dust covers (in the accessory bag). Each port has two LEDs. See “Network Port LEDs in an EX8200 Switch” on page 37.
