Frequently Asked Questions
What primary routing platforms support the Cisco A9K-MPA-20X10GE line card? +
The A9K-MPA-20X10GE is specifically engineered for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It integrates seamlessly into modular line cards that support the Multi-rate Port Adapter (MPA) architecture, allowing service providers to increase port density and achieve high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity across their existing routing infrastructure.
How many ports does the A9K-MPA-20X10GE provide for 10GE connectivity? +
This module provides 20 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using SFP+ transceivers. This high-density design is ideal for space-constrained environments where you need to maximize fiber throughput in a single physical slot of an ASR 9000 modular chassis without sacrificing switching fabric performance.
What type of optical transceivers are compatible with the A9K-MPA-20X10GE? +
The ports are designed to accept standard SFP+ optical transceivers. This gives network architects the flexibility to choose between various reach requirements, including SR (Short Range) for data center intra-rack connections, LR (Long Range) for campus environments, or ER/ZR optics for extended distance requirements across metropolitan area networks.
Can the A9K-MPA-20X10GE handle high-traffic service provider backhaul workloads? +
Yes, this module is built for demanding service provider environments. It offers line-rate performance for 10GE traffic, ensuring that low latency and high throughput are maintained even under heavy packet loads. It is a reliable choice for edge routing, peering, and high-capacity backhaul aggregation scenarios.
Does this module require specific IOS XR software versions for operation? +
To ensure optimal stability and feature support, you should verify the minimum Cisco IOS XR software release required for your specific ASR 9000 chassis configuration. Always consult the Cisco software compatibility matrix before deployment to confirm the latest drivers and line card support for your running image.
Is the A9K-MPA-20X10GE hot-swappable in an ASR 9000 chassis? +
The MPA architecture supports hot-swapping, allowing for field replacement or upgrades without needing to power down the entire chassis. This feature is critical for maintaining high availability in production networks, enabling you to service the hardware while keeping the remaining ports and line cards operational.
What is the primary use case for deploying a 20-port 10GE MPA module? +
This module is designed for network operators looking to densify their 10GbE edge or aggregation layers. It is perfect for scenarios requiring high-speed subscriber aggregation, peering exchange points, or dense data center interconnects where rack space is at a premium but high-bandwidth throughput is a non-negotiable requirement.
How does this module help in reducing total cost of ownership for ASR 9000 users? +
By utilizing the modular MPA format, you can scale your network's capacity incrementally as your bandwidth needs grow. Instead of replacing the entire line card, you simply add or swap the MPA module, allowing you to maximize your existing investment in ASR 9000 chassis hardware while maintaining a lean operational profile.
Can I request a bulk quote for the A9K-MPA-20X10GE through BuyRouterSwitch.com? +
Absolutely. If you are planning a large-scale infrastructure upgrade or managing multiple data center rollouts, our sales team can provide competitive bulk pricing for your specific volume. Simply reach out to us with your bill of materials, and we will work to provide a tailored quote that meets your project budget.
