Description

The Cisco 8800 88-LC1-16H16F-EM is a third-generation service edge line card for Cisco 8800 distributed routers. Built on Cisco Silicon One K100 and running Cisco IOS XR, it suits high-speed IP core, aggregation and service edge deployments that need to consolidate traffic and services from 1 to 400 GbE with high-scale routing and line-rate MACsec security.

The card delivers 9.6 Tbps of capacity across 16 QSFP28, 8 QSFP28-DD and 16 QSFP56-DD ports. Port rates run from 1 GbE up to 400 GbE with flexible port rate configuration, and MACsec encryption operates at line rate on every port. An 8-core x86-64 CPU, 64 GB of DRAM and a 480 GB SSD support the control plane, and PTP timing with Class C performance is built in. This is the 9.6 Tbps variant with the QSFP28, QSFP28-DD and QSFP56-DD port mix, a step up from the 4.8 Tbps 48-port SFP28 card, 88-LC1-48Y8H-EM.

It works in Cisco 8808 and 8804 distributed systems alongside an 8800-RP2 route processor and 8808-FC1 or 8804-FC1 fabric cards, and requires Cisco IOS XR Release 26.3.1 or later. It cannot coexist with Q200-based line cards in the same system.

FAQs

Q: Does this line card need a software licence?
A: Yes. Cisco IOS XR software licensing is required, either Flexible Consumption Model 2.0 or a perpetual licence at Essential, Advantage or Premium tier. The line card PID itself does not include a specific tier.

Q: Which chassis, route processor and fabric cards does it work with?
A: It works in Cisco 8808 (8-slot) and 8804 (4-slot) distributed systems with an 8800-RP2 route processor and 8808-FC1 or 8804-FC1 fabric cards. It requires Cisco IOS XR Release 26.3.1 or later.

Q: Can it be installed alongside Q200-based line cards?
A: No. This K100-based line card cannot coexist with Q200-based line cards in the same system.

Q: Which optics and port speeds does it support?
A: It supports SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP28-DD, QSFP56 and QSFP56-DD pluggables, with port rates of 400, 100, 40, 25, 10 and 1 GbE.

Q: How does it differ from the 88-LC1-48Y8H-EM?
A: This card provides 9.6 Tbps across 16 QSFP28, 8 QSFP28-DD and 16 QSFP56-DD ports, while the 88-LC1-48Y8H-EM provides 4.8 Tbps across 48 SFP28 ports.
