SIP and SPA Product Overview
This chapter provides an introduction to SPA interface processors (SIPs)and shared port adapters (SPAs). It includes the following sections:
For more hardware details for the specific SIPs and SPAs that are supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers, refer to the companion publication, Cisco Aggregation Services Router 1000 Series SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide.
Introduction to SIPs and SPAs
Cisco Aggregation Services Router 1000 Series SIPs and SPAs are a carrier card and port adapter architecture that increases modularity, flexibility, and density across Cisco routers for network connectivity. This section describes the SIPs and SPAs and provides some guidelines for their use.
SPA Interface Processors
The following list describes some of the general characteristics of a SIP:
- A SIP is a carrier card that inserts into a router slot like a line card. It provides no network connectivity on its own.
- A SIP contains one or more subslots, which are used to house one or more SPAs. The SPA provides interface ports for network connectivity.
- During normal operation, the SIP should reside in the router fully populated either with functional SPAs in all subslots, or with a blank filler plate (SPA-BLANK=) inserted in all empty subslots.
- SIPs support online insertion and removal (OIR) with SPAs inserted in their subslots. SPAs also support OIR and can be inserted or removed independently from the SIP.
Note | Fully populate all slots and subslots with blank filler plates or functional SPAs for maximum efficiency of the cooling system. |
Shared Port Adapters
The following list describes some of the general characteristics of a SPA:
-
A SPA is a modular type of port adapter that inserts into a subslot of a compatible SIP carrier card to provide network connectivity and increased interface port density. A SIP can hold one or more SPAs, depending on the SIP type.
-
Some SPAs provide services rather than network connectivity, and can be inserted into the subslots of a compatible SIP, for example, the Cisco WebEx Node for ASR 1000 Series that provides WebEx meeting services, and the DSP SPA that provides voice transcoding and transrating capabilities.
-
SPAs are available in the following sizes, as shown in the following figures:
-
Single-height SPA—Inserts into one SIP subslot.
-
Double-height SPA—Inserts into two single, vertically aligned SIP subslots.
-
Caution | SIP subslot 0 is not available on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router as that is the slot occupied by the integrated Route Processor with native Gigabit Ethernet ports. |
-
Each SPA provides a certain number of connectors, or ports, that are the interfaces to one or more networks. These interfaces can be individually configured using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI).
-
Either a blank filler plate or a functional SPA should reside in every subslot of a SIP during normal operation to maintain cooling integrity. Blank filler plates are available in single-height form only.
-
SPAs support online insertion and removal (OIR). They can be inserted or removed independently from the SIP. SIPs also support OIR with SPAs inserted in their subslots.

Modular Optics Compatibility
Some SPAs implement small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers to provide network connectivity. An SFP module is a transceiver device that mounts into the front panel to provide network connectivity.
Cisco qualifies the SFP modules that can be used with SPAs.
Note | The SPAs will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP module check is run every time an SFP module is inserted into a SPA and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable. |
See the following for detailed information about the types of optics modules that have been qualified for use with a SPA:
- ATM SPA Optics Compatibility
- CWDM Optics Compatibility for Built-in Gigabit Ethernet Ports (4x1GE) and All Gigabit Ethernet SPAs Supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
- DWDM Optics Compatibility for Built-in Gigabit Ethernet Ports (4x1GE) and Gigabit Ethernet SPAs
- POS SPA SFP Optics Compatibility
- Serial SPA SFP Optics Compatibility
- CEoP SPA SFP Optics Compatibility
- Gigabit Ethernet SPA Optics Compatibility—See the SIP and SPA Product Overview chapter in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide.
