Figure 4: PTX10000 Routing and Control Board
Line Cards
The PTX10008 has eight horizontal line card slots and supports line rate for each line card. The line cards
combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet interfaces enclosed in a single assembly. PTX10008
line card architecture is based on a number of identical, independent Packet Forwarding Engine slices each
with 500-Gbps full-duplex throughput. Line cards are FRUs that can be installed in the line card slots
labeled 0 through 7 (top to bottom) on the front of the chassis. All line cards are hot-removable and
hot-insertable. After the hot insertion, you have to reboot the line card for the line card to be online.
Four line cards are available for the PTX10008 router:
•
PTX10K-LC1101, a 30-port 100-Gigabit or 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 line card. By default, the
interfaces are created with 100-Gbps port speed. If you plug in a 40-Gigabit or 4x10 Gigabit transceiver,
then you have to configure the appropriate port speed manually. Each of the 40-Gigabit ports can be
configured as either a native 40-gigabit port or four 10-Gigabit ports using a breakout cable. With
breakout cables, the line card supports a maximum of 120 logical 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
•
PTX10K-LC1102, a 36-port 40-Gigabit Ethernet line card that supports QSFP+ transceivers. Twelve
out of the 36 ports on this line card also support the 100-gigabit QSFP28 transceivers . Each of the
40-Gigabit QSFP+ can be configured as either a native 40-Gigabit port or as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports by using a breakout cable. Thus, with breakout cables, the line card supports a maximum of 144
logical 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.
•
PTX10K-LC1104, a 6-port coherent dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) with Media Access
Control Security (MACsec). The line card features built-in optics that support flexible rate modulation
at 100-Gbps, 150- Gbps, and 200-Gbps speeds.
•
PTX10K-LC1105—a 30-port QSFP28 line card that can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet or
40-Gigabit Ethernet. The PTX10K-LC1105 line card supports MACsec security features.
•
QFX10000-60S-6Q—provides 60 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) ports, that support 10-Gbps
or 1-Gbps port speeds, 2 dual-speed QSFP28 ports that support either 40-Gbps or 100-Gbps port speed,
and 4 QSFP+ ports that support 40-Gbps.
See Figure 5 on page 30 for an example of a PTX10000 line card.
