FAQs

Q: How does the Scale variant differ from Base?
A: Scale provides higher system resource capacity (e.g., route and ACL scale) while retaining the same physical port mix.

Q: Do I need to populate both MPA bays?
A: No. The card operates with zero, one, or two MPAs installed, depending on your interface needs.

Q: Are transceivers included?
A: No. Use compatible SFP+/QSFP+ optics or DAC/AOC as required by your design.

Q: Which software is supported?
A: It is intended for IOS XR releases supported on NCS 5500 chassis that accept NC55-MOD-A series cards.

Q: Can this card coexist with Base cards in the same chassis?
A: Yes, mixed license tiers can be used in the same chassis, subject to overall system and licensing policies.
