A9K-8T/4-E Line Card
The A9K-8T/4-E is a high-performance Ethernet line card engineered for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers. It features 8 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) and 4 ports of 1-Gigabit Ethernet (1GE), providing unparalleled flexibility and scalability for modern networking environments. With advanced capabilities like MPLS support, robust QoS, and carrier-grade reliability, this line card is a perfect solution for enterprises and service providers.
10GE and 1GE Ethernet ports for ASR 9000
Each Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet Line Card provides hierarchical quality of service (HQoS) and simultaneous support for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services and features, allowing operators to qualify and stock a single line card that can be deployed in any combination of Layer 2 and Layer 3 applications.
MPLS-enabled Cisco line card
This capability helps to reduce capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx), as well as reduce the time required to develop and deploy new services. With support for up to 512,000 queues, 32,000 interfaces, 1.3 million routes, 1 million MAC addresses, and 36,000 VPNs, the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet Line Cards set a new standard for service density, allowing operators to offer predictable, managed transport services while optimizing the use of network assets.
High-performance Ethernet solution for enterprises
With their synchronization circuitry and dedicated backplane timing traces for accessing the route switch processor’s (RSP’s) Stratum-3 subsystem, the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet Line Cards provide standards-based line-interface functions for delivering and deriving transport-class network timing, enabling support of network-synchronized services and applications such as mobile backhaul and time-division multiplexing (TDM) migration.
Flexible networking ports line card
Recognizing that real-time media dominate next-generation services, Cisco has integrated media-monitoring technology into the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Ethernet Line Cards. This multimedia technology supports real-time, standards-based monitoring and statistics collection of real-time video and voice flows, delivering proactive maintenance and management of today’s media-rich services.
