3.1.3.1.5 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter Card/Module
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module is used to connect to and from
access rings carrying a high concentration of traffic. Table 3 lists the maximum
number of cards or modules that are supported on each platform. A single card can
be installed in the 7705 SAR-8 and the 7705 SAR-18; however, it is strongly
recommended that a minimum of two cards be installed for redundancy.
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module has two small form-factor
pluggable (XFP) ports on its faceplate. The two XFP ports are for 10-Gigabit Ethernet
XFPs. The card provides high processing power and throughput capacity and
operates at 10 Gb/s for Ethernet ports and 2.5 Gb/s for the virtual port (v-port).
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card provides larger table space for FIBs,
ACLs, and so on. The card also supports the full IPv6 subnet range for IPv6 static
routes and interface IP addresses on the v-port. The supported range for statically
provisioned or dynamically learned routes is from /1 to /128. Supported interface IP
address prefixes are from /4 to /127, and /128 on system or loopback interfaces.
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) module supports IPv6 on the v-port. The supported
range for statically provisioned or dynamically learned routes is from /1 to /64 or is
/128 (indicating a host route). Supported interface IP address prefixes are from /4 to
/64, and /128 on system or loopback interfaces.
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module supports LLDP on the Ethernet
ports but not on the v-port.
3.1.3.1.6 Packet Microwave Adapter Card
The Packet Microwave Adapter card has two RJ-45 ports (ports 1 and 2) and six SFP
ports (ports 3 through 8). All ports provide 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections (when
connected to an MPR-e radio, they are always in Gigabit Ethernet (1-Gb/s) mode).
Ports 1 through 4 support Microwave Awareness (MWA) and Ethernet/IP/MPLS
networking; ports 5 through 8 support Ethernet/IP/MPLS networking only.
