FAQs

Q: Are QSFP28 optics included?
A: No. Transceiver modules and cables are sold separately.

Q: Does this card support OTN/OTU4?
A: No. This Ethernet line card is focused on 100GbE services. For OTN use cases, select the SE OTN or TR OTN variants.

Q: What is the difference with the consumption model?
A: Capacity/features are activated via licenses, allowing you to scale ports and capabilities as needed.

Q: Is 4x25G breakout supported?
A: Yes, where supported by the specific QSFP28 optic or DAC/AOC and software release.

Q: What do I need for full throughput?
A: Populate the chassis with the recommended number of fabric cards and run a compatible IOS XR release.
