Displaying the SPA Hardware Type

To verify the SPA hardware type that is installed in your Cisco 12000 Series router, you can use the show diagbus command or the show interfaces command (can be used only if the interface has been configured). There are several other commands on the Cisco 12000 series routers that also provide SPA hardware information.

Table 8-1 shows the hardware description that appears in the show command output for each type of SPA that is supported on the Cisco 12000 series router.

Table 8-1 SPA Hardware Descriptions in show Commands

SPA

2-Port Channelized T3 SPA

"Hardware is 2 ports CT3 SPA"

4-Port Channelized T3 SPA

"Hardware is 4 ports CT3 SPA"
