Router modules

8x10GE-X interface modules

The 8x10GE-X interface modules provide 8 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet with support for 1M IPv4

routes in hardware.

NOTE

Gen-2 8x10GE-X modules require high speed switch fabric modules to operate. You can replace

switch fabric modules with high-speed switch fabric modules while the system is powered on and

running. For more information about high-speed switch fabric modules, refer to “High-speed switch

fabric modules” on page 50.

Figure 16 shows the faceplate of the 8x10GE-X module.
