A9K-24X10GE-1G-FC

Description

The Cisco A9K-24X10GE-1G-FC is a high-performance 24-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This Flexible Consumption Model LC delivers industry-leading density with twenty-four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks caused by surging video-on-demand (VoD), IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud services traffic. Designed for economical, scalable, highly available line-rate Ethernet and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) edge services, it forms the foundation for Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks supporting business, residential, and mobile services.

Key Features and Benefits

• Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) interfaces: Mix and match 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface types across a single line card. Compatible with a wide range of optics; refer to Cisco ASR 9000 Transceiver Modules: Line Card Support data sheet for full list.
• G.709 and Advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC): Standard G.709 for transmission-layer operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M); G.709 Standard FEC and Advanced FEC for superior transmission performance, visibility into transmission impairments, rapid recovery, and proactive protection.
• Scalable and Integrated Multiservice Support: Combined IP, MPLS, Ethernet, Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services on a single card for reduced CapEx and OpEx.
• Evolutionary Monitoring: Carrier-class OA&M including NetFlow, IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah, ITU Y.1731, IP SLA, VCCV, ping, and traceroute. Video monitoring (VidMon) for real-time video flow monitoring with degradation alarms.
• Carrier-Grade OS: Cisco IOS XR Software – modular, patchable, restartable, scalable, highly available, proven for carrier core and edge.
• T-Class Synchronization: Synchronous Ethernet derives and provides sync from/to Ethernet interfaces, ASR 9000 RSPs, and network sync interfaces. IEEE 1588-2008 support for precision time and frequency distribution across the network.

These line cards are fully compatible with all Cisco ASR 9000 Series chassis (22-slot, 10-slot, 6-slot), route switch processors (RSPs), and line cards without requiring hardware upgrades to chassis or cooling. Total bandwidth depends on RSPs installed. Also compatible with 22-slot Cisco ASR 9922 chassis. Each provides simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 support, reducing inventory needs and deployment time. Synchronization circuitry and backplane timing traces access RSP’s Stratum-3 subsystem for transport-class timing, supporting mobile backhaul and TDM migration. With proper RSP, supports IEEE 1588v2. Integrated media-monitoring for real-time video/voice flows enables proactive maintenance.
