A99-8X100GE-FC Overview
The Cisco A99-8X100GE-FC is an 8-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet line card that is part of the Cisco ASR 9900 Series. It provides high-density 100Gbps ports that can replace multiple 10Gbps bundles to simplify operations. The line card uses Cisco CPAK pluggable optics that allow mixing 100Gbps, 40Gbps, and 10Gbps ports on the same card.
The Cisco A99-8X100GE-FC has a service-edge optimized design with enhanced quality of service capabilities. It supports a wide range of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services including IP, MPLS, Ethernet, L2VPN, and L3VPN. The line card runs on Cisco IOS XR software and is managed through a modular CLI. It includes advanced monitoring features like NetFlow, Y.1731, and IP SLA.
The A99-8X100GE-FC uses a flexible consumption licensing model that allows pay-as-you-grow scaling. This reduces initial costs while providing the ability to add more capacity over time as needed. The line card requires additional software subscriptions for the Essentials and Advantage feature sets.
