48-port RJ-45 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 RJ-45 line card for EX8200 switches (see Figure 16 on page 35) has 48 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors on the faceplate. Each port has two LEDs. See “Network Port LEDs in an EX8200 Switch” on page 37.
