FAQs

Q: What is the difference between Base and Scale variants?
A: Scale variants provide enhanced system scale (e.g., larger FIB/ACL capacity) compared with Base. Port mix is the same; resource scale differs.

Q: Which optics are supported on the fixed ports?
A: The 10G ports accept SFP+ optics/DACs and the 40G ports accept QSFP+ optics/DACs, subject to platform compatibility lists.

Q: Can I upgrade a Base card to Scale via license?
A: Licensing options depend on platform entitlement; consult your software licensing for upgrade paths.

Q: Which chassis is this compatible with?
A: It is designed for NCS 5500 modular chassis that accept NC55-MOD-A series line cards.
