FAQs

Q: What does -X fabric capable mean?
A: It indicates the line card requires a compatible ASR 9900 chassis fabric/RSP generation to realize full performance.

Q: Can I mix this card with older line cards?
A: Mixed deployments may be supported but observe fabric/RSP and software compatibility requirements.

Q: How is capacity licensed?
A: Using Flexible Consumption licensing to enable ports and throughput tiers as needed.

Q: Are breakout modes supported?
A: Breakout (e.g., 4x25G) may be available depending on optics and software. Check release notes.

Q: Does it support advanced telemetry?
A: Yes, model-driven telemetry is available in IOS XR releases that support this hardware.
