Important:
QGLCs and XGLCs only work in an ASR 5000 behind specific types of packet processing cards.
Refer to the ASR 5000 Installation Guide for details.
The line cards will remain in a ready mode until their corresponding packet processing card is made active via
configuration. While in ready mode the Active LED should be off. After the packet processing card is made active, the
line card installed in the upper-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card will also be made active. The line card
(except for the Full-height XGLC) installed in the lower-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card will enter
the standby mode.
