Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Cisco A9K-MPA-20X1GE Modular Port Adapter? +
The A9K-MPA-20X1GE is a high-density modular port adapter designed for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers. It provides 20 ports of 1 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, allowing network administrators to scale interface density and support a wide range of aggregation requirements within a single slot of the modular chassis.
Which Cisco ASR 9000 series platforms are compatible with the A9K-MPA-20X1GE? +
This module is specifically engineered for use with Cisco ASR 9000 Series fixed-configuration routers and modular chassis that support the Modular Port Adapter (MPA) architecture. It integrates seamlessly into these environments, provided the system is running a compatible version of Cisco IOS XR software to support the module's high-speed port density.
Does the A9K-MPA-20X1GE support small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers? +
Yes, this module is equipped with 20 individual SFP slots. These ports offer flexible deployment options, allowing you to utilize various 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers, including short-reach and long-reach fiber optics, to match the specific distance and connectivity requirements of your enterprise network architecture.
How does the A9K-MPA-20X1GE handle packet processing and performance? +
The module is designed to leverage the advanced packet processing capabilities of the ASR 9000 series backplane. By distributing traffic across 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports, it maintains high throughput and low latency, ensuring consistent performance for enterprise-grade service provider applications and heavy-duty network aggregation tasks.
Is the A9K-MPA-20X1GE suitable for high-density network aggregation? +
Absolutely. With 20 ports contained in a single modular footprint, this card is an ideal solution for increasing port density in space-constrained environments. It effectively simplifies the physical cable management and maximizes the port utilization of your ASR 9000 chassis, making it a reliable choice for growing data center or service provider infrastructures.
What is the physical installation process for this Cisco MPA? +
Installing the A9K-MPA-20X1GE is straightforward. The modular design allows for hot-swapping or insertion into an empty MPA slot on the host line card or chassis. Users should ensure the system is properly powered, align the module with the slot guides, secure the captive screws, and verify the interface status via the CLI.
Can the A9K-MPA-20X1GE be managed via standard Cisco management interfaces? +
Management is performed entirely through the existing Cisco IOS XR management framework. Once installed, the 20 ports appear as standard interfaces in your configuration, allowing you to use familiar command-line interface (CLI) protocols for monitoring, port activation, traffic statistics, and troubleshooting across your entire router stack.
Does the A9K-MPA-20X1GE require specific licensing for feature activation? +
While the hardware operates on standard IOS XR base images, the specific feature-set availability often depends on the overall software license tier enabled on your ASR 9000 chassis. We recommend reviewing your current Cisco IOS XR entitlement to ensure that advanced routing or service-level protocols are authorized for use on these interfaces.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for the A9K-MPA-20X1GE? +
