Modular Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The Modular Gigabit Ethernet line card, which is designed for high-density and server-aggregation
applications, provides the supported Cisco 12000 Series Routers with up to 10 optical 802.3 Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces. These interfaces provide high-speed connections to other network devices, such as
other Cisco 12000 Series Routers, other types of routers, or layer-2 or layer-3 switches that support
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

In addition to one hardwired Gigabit Ethernet SFP receptacle, the Modular Gigabit Ethernet line card
has three bays in which you can install Ethernet port adapters (EPAs). Each EPA has three receptacles
that can be populated with Gigabit Ethernet SFPs, for a total of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (one hardwired,
plus three on each of the three EPAs). The Ethernet line card ships with 0, 1, 2, or 3 EPAs installed and
with at least one SFP module installed.

Next to the port on the line card are three green LEDs, aligned vertically and labeled from top to bottom
as follows: LINK, ACTIVE, and RX FRAME.
