The Cisco® CRS-1 Carrier Routing System is the industry's first carrier router offering continuous system operation, unprecedented service flexibility, and system longevity. The Cisco CRS-1 is powered by Cisco IOS® XR Software-a unique self-healing, distributed operating system. As part of a video-enabled IP Next-Generation Network (NGN), the Cisco CRS-1 Series delivers continuous, always-on operation that easily scales to support the massive bandwidth requirements of visual networking experiences such as high-definition IPTV and Cisco TelePresence. These services demand a platform that delivers predictable forwarding performance and efficient, intelligent fabric-based multicast replication. The Cisco CRS-1 Series enables the Internet and NGNs to handle the approaching zettabyte era of carrier IP communications while protecting network investments for decades to come.
Product Overview
The Cisco CRS-1 Series 42-Port Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module (Figure 1) provides 42 line-rate, IEEE 802.3-compliant Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Physical interface characteristics can be selected using different modular Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics - short, long, extra long, and copper interfaces are supported. Extensive per-port and per-VLAN counters simplify network performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

Feature
Description
Chassis Compatibility
Compatible with all Cisco CRS-1 chassis
Requires one of the following forwarding engines: CRS-FP40 (on CRS-4/S and CRS-8/S only), CRS-MSC-40G-B (on CRS-4/S, CRS-8/S, CRS-16/S, and CRS Multi-chassis)
Software Compatibility
Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.1 or later
Port Density
Forty-two ports of Gigabit Ethernet per card, each using SFP physical interfaces
Source/destination MAC accounting and VLAN accounting
Autonegotiation
Full-duplex operation
802.1Q VLAN termination
Per-port byte and packet counters for policy drops; oversubscription drops; cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error drops; packet sizes; and unicast, multicast, and broadcast packets
Per-VLAN byte and packet counters for policy drops; oversubscription drops; and unicast, multicast, and broadcast packets
Per-port byte counters for good bytes and dropped bytes
LED Indicators
SPA status: Bicolor green and amber LEDs encode the SPA status as follows:
· LED off: SPA is powered off
· LED amber: SPA is powered on and initializing
· LED green: SPA is powered on and operational
In addition to the status LED, the SPAs also have a bicolor, surface-mount, right-angle LED dedicated to each port to indicate port status. The green and amber LEDs encode the port status as follows:
· LED off: Port is not enabled by software
· LED: Port is enabled by software, but there is a problem with the Ethernet link
· LED green: Port is enabled by software, and there is a valid Ethernet link
Reliability and Availability
Online insertion and removal (OIR) without affecting system traffic
Short-term: 5% to 90% but not to exceed 0.024 kg water/kg of dry air
Short-term refers to a period of not more than 96 consecutive hours and a total of not more than 15 days in 1 year. (This refers to a total of 360 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences during that 1-year period.)
