ASR1000-2T+20x1GE
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card ASR1000-2T+20x1GE uses a < slot, subslot, port > numbering scheme. The slot refers to whichever slot the line card occupies in the router.
Port numbering ranges from 0 to 21. This physical port numbering is reflected in CLI messages and all the references to port numbers that are visible to the user. (See Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4.)

Cisco IOS Software Release and Hardware Revision Requirements
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards have certain Cisco IOS software requirements. Also, to ensure compatibility with the Cisco IOS software, the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards have a specific hardware revision number, which are printed on labels affixed to the component side of the cards and can be displayed using the show diag slot slot number eeprom command.
Table 1-1 lists the hardware and software requirements for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards.
The show diag slot slot number eeprom and the show version commands display the current hardware configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running, and the hardware revision number.
Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards and the system within which they are installed are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.
Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.
To access the Software Advisor tool, click Log In at Cisco.com. In the log in page, enter your Cisco username and password and click Log In. Type Software Advisor in the SEARCH box, and click the search icon. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.

Modular Optics Compatibility
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards use SFP or XFP optical transceivers to provide network connectivity.
The external interfaces support the following optical modules.
SFP Modules
Note This section is only applicable to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card ASR1000-2T+20x1GE. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card ASR1000-6TGE does not support SFP modules.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card ASR1000-2T+20x1GE supports the SFP optical transceiver modules. SFPs are integrated fiber-optic transceivers that provide high-speed serial links from a port or a slot to the network. Various latching mechanisms can be used on the SFPs. There is no correlation between the latch type and the model type (such as SX, LX, or LH) or technology type (such as Gigabit Ethernet). See the label on the SFP for the technology type and model.
Accepted SFP temperature ranges are:
- COM—Commercial operating temperature range from -5 to 70 degrees C (23 to 158 degrees F)
- EXT—Extended operating temperature range from -5 to 85 degrees C (23 to 185 degrees F)
- IND—Industrial operating temperature range from -40 to 85 degrees C (-40 to 85 degrees F)
The following SFP modules are supported:
Note For Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10, SFP-GE-T= is supported only in the 1 Gbps mode.
Connectors and Cabling for SFP Modules
The SFP optical transceiver module on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Card requires dual or single LC and PC connectors. Only connections with patch cords having PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards specified here:
- GR-20-CORE—Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable
- GR-326-CORE—Generic Requirements for Single-mode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies
- GR-1435-CORE—Generic Requirements for Multi-Fiber Optical Connectors
For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a Duplex LC-Type Cable and Connector or two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

XFP Modules
The XFP modules provide high-speed serial links at the following rates: 9.95 Gbps (OC-192) and 10.3125 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) on single-mode optical fiber (SMF). The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10-Gbps serial data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser driver biases and modulates a 1310-nm or 1550-nm laser, enabling data transmission over SMF through an LC connector. The receive side recovers and retimes the 10-Gbps optical data stream from a photodetector transimpedance amplifier and passes it to an output driver. See the label on the XFP module for technology type and model.
The XFP module temperature range is 0 degree C to 70 degree C.
Connectors and Cabling for XFP Modules
The XFP optical transceiver module on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards require dual LC and PC connectors. Only connections with patch cords having PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported. All the cables and cable assemblies that are used must be compliant with the following standards:
- GR-20-CORE—Generic Requirements for Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber Cable
- GR-326-CORE—Generic Requirements for Single-Mode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies
- GR-1435-CORE—Generic Requirements for Multi-Fiber Optical Connectors
Figure 1-7 shows the cable type to be used with the XFP optical transceiver module on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Fixed Ethernet Line Cards.
