Frequently Asked Questions

What chassis models are compatible with the Cisco EPA-1X100GE module? +

The EPA-1X100GE is designed for integration into Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It specifically slots into the modular port adapters (MPA) bays on supported line cards or modular chassis. Before deployment, always verify your specific router model supports the modular port adapter architecture to ensure seamless hardware recognition and optimal system performance.

Does the EPA-1X100GE support QSFP28 transceiver standards? +

Yes, this interface module provides a high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet port capable of utilizing standard QSFP28 form factor optics. This allows network administrators to choose the appropriate transceiver type—whether SR4, LR4, or CWDM4—based on their specific fiber reach and infrastructure requirements, ensuring flexibility in high-bandwidth backbone or data center interconnect deployments.

What is the primary throughput capacity of the EPA-1X100GE? +

This module delivers full-duplex, line-rate 100Gbps throughput. It is engineered to handle massive data traffic loads, making it an ideal choice for service provider edges, peering points, and high-performance enterprise core routing where low-latency packet forwarding and high-capacity interface density are mission-critical requirements for maintaining network stability under heavy load.

Can the EPA-1X100GE be hot-swapped during router operation? +

The module supports online insertion and removal (OIR), allowing you to install or replace the unit without powering down the host ASR 9000 series router. This feature is essential for minimizing network downtime during hardware maintenance or physical upgrades, ensuring that your core routing services remain available while you scale your port density or perform necessary system service.

How is the EPA-1X100GE managed within the Cisco IOS-XR environment? +

Management is handled through the host router's IOS-XR operating system. Once installed, the module is identified as a logical interface, allowing you to configure parameters such as MTU size, interface descriptions, and quality of service (QoS) policies directly via the CLI or netconf-yang models. You can monitor port status and optical diagnostics through standard SNMP or telemetry protocols used throughout the router.

Is the EPA-1X100GE suitable for high-density 100G aggregation? +

Absolutely. This module is built for scalability, enabling you to add high-speed 100G capacity to your modular routing platform incrementally. By populating your available EPA slots with these modules, you can expand your network bandwidth to meet growing traffic demands without the need for a complete chassis replacement, providing a cost-effective path for infrastructure growth.

Does this module support advanced Layer 3 routing features? +

The EPA-1X100GE relies on the processing power and feature set of the host ASR 9000 line card and route processor. It supports the full suite of Cisco IOS-XR protocols, including BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and MPLS. All routing decisions and packet forwarding intelligence are managed by the host router's specialized hardware, ensuring consistent service delivery across all integrated ports.

What environmental conditions are required for the EPA-1X100GE to function optimally? +

Like most high-performance Cisco hardware, this module requires a climate-controlled environment consistent with data center standards. Ensure proper airflow through the chassis to maintain operating temperatures within the specified range for the host router. Adhering to these thermal guidelines prevents thermal throttling and ensures the long-term electrical reliability of the sensitive internal components of the module.

How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple EPA-1X100GE units? +
