Cisco ASR1000-MIP100 Network Switch Module Networking

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Modular Interface Processor (ASR1000-MIP100) is a full-duplex 100-Gbps modular Ethernet line card that is capable of hosting up to two Cisco ASR 1000 Series Ethernet Port Adapters (EPAs). The EPAs are new interface cards that introduce 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series. Like the fixed Ethernet line cards, the modular interface processor with EPAs offers the same feature parity and functionality as the SPA interface processor and SPA combination. Table 1 shows the features of the three types of interface cards.
