Plugging a non-supported CPAK to a CFP2 adapter can damage the CFP2 adapter. Ensure that you read the PID label on the CFP2 adapter carefully.

Caution

We recommend that you wait for 60 seconds before successive insertion or removal of optics. Failing to follow this recommendation may affect the functionality of optics.

Caution

The metal surfaces of CPF2-DCO modules may exhibit high temperatures and thus be unsafe for handling with bare hands.

For more information about how to remove the CFP2-DCO module, see Safe Removal of CFP2-DCO Modules.

The 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides 10 double-stacked SFP (20 total) cages that support either fiber-optic or copper GE transceivers.

Each SFP cage on the 20-Port GE MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated SFP port, as described in table 20-Port Gigabit Ethernet MPA LEDs . See Technical Specifications for a list of all SFP modules supported on the 20x1GE modular port adapter.

Note	Note: This MPA is not compatible with the consumption-model MOD400 line card.

The following figure shows the 20-Port GE MPA and corresponding LEDs.

The 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides two cages for XFP Ethernet optical interface modules that operate at a rate of 10 Gbps. The two XFP modules can be 10GE multimode or single mode connections.

Each XFP cage on the 4-Port 10GE MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L (Active/link) LED indicates the status of the associated XFP port, as described in the below table 2-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPA LEDs, and a Status LED for the MPA as shown in the following figure.

The 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides four cages for XFP Ethernet optical interface modules that operate at a rate of 10 Gbps. The four XFP modules can be 10GE multimode or single mode connections.

The MPA has two types of LEDs: an A/L (Active/Link) LED for each individual port and a Status LED for the MPA as shown in the following figure. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated XFP port, as described in the below table 4-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPA LEDs .

The 20-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides two 2x5 double-stacked cages for SFP+ Ethernet optical interface modules.

Each SFP+ cage on the 20-Port 10GE MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel of the card as shown in the following figure. The A/L (Active/Link) LED indicates the status of the associated SFP+ port, as described in Modular Port Adapter LEDs.

Note	LED status could be wrong when a port is put into loopback internal mode on Gigabit Ethernet interface for 20x1EP. Loopback internal is used for debugging purpose.

The 1-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides a cage for a QSFP+ Ethernet optical interface module that operates at a rate of 40 Gbps. The QSFP+ module can support either a 40GE multimode connection or a 40GE single mode connection.

Each QSFP cage on the 1-Port 40GE MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated QSFP port, as described in 1-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet MPA LEDs table below and a Status LED as shown in the following figure.

The 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides two cages for QSFP+ Ethernet optical interface modules that operate at a rate of 40 Gbps. The two QSFP+ modules can be 40-Gigabit Ethernet multimode or single mode connections.

Each QSFP cage on the MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated QSFP port as described in 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet MPA LEDs table below, and a Status LED for the MPA as shown in the following figure.

Note	Note: This MPA is not compatible with consumption-model MOD400 line card.

The 32-Port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modular port adapter (MPA) provides support for MACsec security. The key functionality of this MPA is to provide MACsec feature over 32 ports of 1GE over 16 Compact SFP (CSFP) modules. This MPA uses dual channel 1GE Compact-SFP technology (CSFP) to increase the port density. Along with CSFP, this MPA also supports all other types of traditional SFPs.

This MPA is supported on MOD 200 and OD 400 line cards.

Each SFP cage on the 32-Port GE MPA has an adjacent A/L (Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated SFP port.

The SFP slot 0 slot starts from top left and increments towards right till SFP slot 7. The SFP slot 8 is at the bottom right and increments towards left till SFP slot 15. If all SFP optics are plugged in, then port numbers are in even starting from 0 to 31 [For example: Starting from slot 0,2,4,6,8 till slot 30].

It is possible to have a mix of SFP and CSFP optics in this MPA. If all SFP slots are populated with SFPs, the number of slots is 16.

If all the CSFP ports are used, the port numbering will be contiguous from slot 0 to 31.

The following figure shows the 32-Port GE MPA and corresponding LEDs.

The following tables list the MPAs supported with MOD200 (A9K-MOD200-SE, A9K-MOD200-TR) and MOD400 (A9K-MOD400-SE, A9K-MOD400-TR) line cards.

Note	100G CPAK modules, CPAK-100G-ER4L and CPAK-100G-CWDM4, are supported on 100G line cards from Release 6.3.2 onwards. Refer to CPAK module support table for more information.

The following table lists the MPAs supported with consumption-model MOD400 (A9K-MOD400-CM) line card.

Note	The consumption-model MPAs can only be used only with consumption-model line cards.
