Hardware

  • New MX10K-LC4802 line card (JNP10K-LC4802)—The MX10K-LC4802 line card is a 36-port fixed configuration line card that provides a line-rate throughput of 4.8 Tbps. The MX10K-LC4802 has 32 QSFP28 ports that operate at a speed of 100 Gbps and four QSFP56-DD ports that operate at 400 Gbps.

    The MX10K-LC4802 plugs into the MX10004 and MX10008 routers horizontally in the front of the chassis. The line card is compatible with the JNP10004-SF2 (in the MX10004) and JNP10008-SF2 (in the MX10008) Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs).

    Feature Description
    Chassis

    Support for the following hardware components, platform features, and fabric functionalities for the new MX10K-LC4802 line card in MX10004 and MX10008 routers:

    • Support for platform resiliency

    [See Platform Resiliency.]
    Interfaces

    • QSFP to SFP+ adapter support on QSFP28 ports for 1GbE and 10GbE speeds. You can use the QSFP to SFP+ Adapter (QSA) on QSFP28 ports to support 1GbE and 10GbE speeds. This adapter enables you to connect higher-speed QSFP ports with lower-speed SFP or SFP+ ports, facilitating smooth and cost-effective network upgrades. The QSA ensures compatibility and flexibility in managing network transitions.

    • Supported transceivers, optical interfaces, and DAC cables —Select your product in the Hardware Compatibility Tool to view supported transceivers, optical interfaces, and direct attach copper (DAC) cables for your platform or interface module. We update the HCT and provide the first supported release information when the optic becomes available.
    MACsec

    • Support for Media Access Control Security (MACsec), including AES-256 encryption, extended packet numbering, and fail-open mode.

      [See Configuring MACsec]

    • MACsec bounded delay protection. [See bounded-delay.]
