Description

The Cisco A9K-MOD400-TR 400G Modular Line Card allows for the flexible expansion of Cisco ASR 9000 series routers by providing two slots for ASR 9000 MPA cards.  This card allows for up to 400G of bandwidth divided between up to two MPA cards, allowing for a variety of interface combinations across the A9K-MOD400 module. For example, the A9K-MOD400 can support 40 10G interfaces, 4 100G interfaces, or a mixture of 1, 10, 40 or 100g interfaces – depending on the A9K MPA installed in the unit.

This variant of the Cisco A9K-MOD400 is optimized for Transport (part number A9K-MOD400-TR) and is intended for customer deployments requiring basic QoS capabilities. Alternatively, for applications requiring more advanced QoS the A9K-MOD400-SE Service Edge linecard is also available. Both of these card types also come in 200G editions, which can help reduce costs when the port requirements of your install don’t require 400G per slot. For more information on these cards, please refer to Cisco’s datasheet or contact us for support.

MPA and transceiver support for this ASR MOD400 Card is as follows:

Each ASR 9000 system supports 2 fewer A9K-MOD400 cards than the total number of slots on the chassis. For information on software or hardware compatibility between the A9K-MOD400-TR and the A9K chassis and other cards, please contact our sales engineers.
