Product Overview
The Cisco HHGE line card (Figure 2) contains a single Gigabit Ethernet port that provides a trunk uplink to switches and core routers. The Cisco HHGE line card provides the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router with an IEEE 802.3z compliant Ethernet interface that can run up to 1 Gbps in full duplex mode. The line card uses a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converter (GBIC) module that supports a variety of gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX LX/LH, and ZX), which you can change or upgrade at any time.
Note
Only SFP GBIC modules purchased from Cisco work with the gigabit Ethernet line card software.
Benefits
The Cisco HHGE line card provides the following benefits:
•
Provides 1-port full duplex 1 Gbps data rate
•
Supports Etherchannel network
•
Supports OIR for 1000BASE-SXs, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-ZX GBICs, as described in the IEEE 802.3zspecifications
•
Provides redundant trunks in one chassis slot
•
Increases throughput density and load balancing which enhances high availability
•
Supports trunk redundancy in a single slot, which frees up a slot for additional subscriber cards
Restrictions
•
The Cisco HHGE line card installed in a Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router, must be used with the Performance Routing Engine (PRE2). This card is not supported with the PRE1 installed.
•
The Cisco HHGE line card must be installed in WAN slots 3/0/0, 3/1/0, 4/0/0 or 4/1/0. See Figure 1.
•
Only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card work with the HHGE line card. Unapproved SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.
Installation Location and Physical Description
Figure 1 shows the slot locations used by the WAN cards in the Cisco uBR10012 router.
CautionCisco HHGE line cards are installed in slots 3/0/0, 3/1/0, 4/0/0, and 4/1/0. Installation in other slots is not supported.

LEDs
This line card faceplate contains the following LEDs that continuously indicate line card status as well as the status of the port during operation (see Figure 2):
•
FAIL (yellow)—This LED lights during portions of the POST (Power-On Self Test), but remains off after the POST on a properly working line card. If the line card fails during operation, this LED lights and an alarm event occurs.
The FAIL LED blinks during the following SFP faults:
–
An SFP GBIC other than a Cisco brand is inserted
–
A non-gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC is inserted
–
A hardware problem occurs in a valid SFP GBIC
•
Link (green)—When on, this LED indicates that a carrier signal exists. If negotiation is enabled (at both ends), it indicates successful completion and the port can pass traffic.
Note
This LED can also be on if the line card is in internal loopback.
When off, this LED indicates that no carrier signal is detected, negotiation failed, or the port is administratively down.
–
RX (green)—When on, this status LED indicates that packets are being received. When this LED is off, the line card is not receiving packets.
–
TX (green)—When on, this status LED indicates that packets are being transmitted. When this LED is off, the line card is not transmitting packets.
Note
Because this line card operates in full-duplex mode, both the RX and TX LEDs can be on at the same time.
For additional information about using the faceplate LEDs to troubleshoot the line card, see the "Troubleshooting the Installation" section.
SFP Gigabit Ethernet Interface Converter Modules and Cable Specifications
The HHGE line card supports single Ethernet interfaces based on SFP GBIC technology. The following SFPs are supported by this line card:
•
1000BASE-SX SFP—The SFP-GE-S, 1000BASE-SX SFP operates on ordinary multimode fiber optic link spans of up to 550 meters in length.
•
1000BASE-LX/LH SFP—The SFP-GE-L, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 10,000 meters in length.
•
1000BASE-ZX SFP—The GLC-ZX-SM, 1000BASE-ZX SFP operates on ordinary single-mode fiber optic link spans of up to 70 kilometers (km) in length. Link spans of up to 100 km are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber. The SFP provides an optical link budget of 23 dB—the precise link span length depends on multiple factors such as fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors.
When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link, to avoid overloading the receiver. A 5-decibel (dB) or 10-dB inline optical attenuator should be inserted between the fiber optic cable plant and the receiving port on the GLC-ZX-SM at each end of the link whenever the fiber optic cable span is less than 25 km.
•
1000BASE-T SFP— Support for the GLC-T, 1000BASE-T SFP module is introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(23)BC1.
The Cisco GLC-T, 1000BASE-T SFP module connects a Cisco Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) port to Category 5 wiring via a standard RJ-45 interface. The maximum Category 5 wiring distance is 100 m. The module provides with an option of connecting to a backhaul network interface. For more information on the Cisco GLC-T 1000BASE-T SFP, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7200/install_and_upgrade/gbic_sfp_modules_install/5067g.html
Note
The required line card SFP GBIC is shipped already installed in the line card. Cisco sells individual SFP GBICs separately and you can change the type of gigabit Ethernet interface supported by this line card by simply changing its SFP GBIC module.
Table 1 lists the interface types supported by gigabit Ethernet line card.

1 Mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFPs, and a short link distance (10s of meters) can cause transceiver saturation resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). In addition, when using the LX/LH SFP with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP and the MMF cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 ft (300 m).
2 1000BASE-ZX SFP can reach up to 100 km by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low attenuation SMF; the distance depends on fiber quality, number of splices, and connectors.

Prerequisites and Preparation
Before you perform any of the procedures in this guide, we recommend that you:
•
Read the safety guidelines in the next section and review the electrical safety and ESD-prevention guidelines in the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Installation Guide.
•
Ensure that you have all of the necessary tools and equipment before you begin the installation (see the "Installation Guidelines" section).
•
Have a terminal console connected to the performance routing engine (PRE2) to configure the line card after it is installed.
•
Have access to the following documents (available online) during the installation:
–
Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Hardware Installation Guide
–

Safety and Warnings
Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power.
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
•
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The AC-input power shelf and its AC power modules contain a printed circuit card that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the cards from ESD, use an anti-static strap each time you handle the modules.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Before removing a card from the chassis, connect the equipment end of the strap to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or rack-mount.
•
Handle components by the carrier edges only; avoid touching the card components or any connector pins.
•
When removing a module, place it on an anti-static surface or in a static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
•
Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
CautionFor safety, periodically check the resistance value of the anti-static strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.
Note
Statement numbers (Example: Statement 1071) at the end of a Warning refer to specific warnings and their translations in the Cisco uBR10012 Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document.

For replacing a GigE line card with an HHGE line card.
If you replace a line card (into the same slot), the system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE2. You do not need to configure the replacement line card. Interfaces that were configured to be in an up state on the previous line card are also recognized as up on the replacement line card.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and equipment to install the line card:
•
A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap with connection cord
•
Antistatic surface or antistatic bag
•
A terminal console connected to the PRE2
Note
A PRE 2 must be installed in the Cisco uBR10012 router for this configuration.
Installing the Slot Splitter and Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
This section describes how to install the line card in the Cisco uBR10012 router. This section includes the following tasks:
•
Installing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
•
Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card Configuration
CautionYou must use slot 3 or slot 4 when installing the slot splitter and HHGE line card in the Cisco uBR10012 router, using slot 1 or slot 2 will cause the router to shut down those slots.
CautionDo not install two half-height blank faceplates into the same slot in the slot splitter. Instead, install a full-slot blank faceplate into the slot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one blank faceplate is allowed.
CautionDo not install a line card into the slot splitter before installing the splitter into the chassis. The slot splitter does not have ejector levers that allow you to seat the line card in the backplane.
Installing the Slot Splitter
You must install the half-height line card into a slot that contains a slot splitter, which can hold two half-height line cards. If both slots of the slot splitter are not used, then you must install a blank faceplate in the empty slot.
Follow these steps to install a slot splitter into slot 3 or slot 4 of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis.
Step 1
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 3).
Figure 3 Inserting the Slot Splitter
Step 2
Grasp the front of the slot splitter with one hand and place your other hand under the splitter. Position the splitter in front of the card cage slot.
Step 3
Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the slot splitter with the upper and lower guides in the chassis, and slide the splitter into the slot until the front is flush with the chassis.
Note
The slot splitter shown in Figure 3 has one open slot (top) and one slot with a slot cover (bottom).
Figure 4 Captive Screw Locations
Step 4
Secure the slot splitter to the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 4).
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Installing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
Use the following procedure to install a HHGE line card into an installed slot splitter. See the "Installing the Slot Splitter" section to install the slot splitter.
If you are replacing a line card, see the "Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card" section before you begin this procedure.
Step 1
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
Figure 5 Inserting the HHGE Line Card
Step 2
Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier (to support the weight of the card). Position the card in front of the slot splitter.
Step 3
Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the slot splitter, and slide the line card about half-way into the splitter.
Step 4
Be sure the ejectors are in the open position (as shown) and continue to push the line card into the splitter until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane connectors.
Step 5
Verify that the captive screws are properly aligned with the captive screw holes in the splitter. If the captive screws are not properly aligned, the card will not seat properly in the backplane.
Step 6
Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane (Figure 6).
The line card cycles through its power-on self-test. The FAIL LED lights during portions of the POST (Power-On Self Test), but remains off after POST on a properly working line card. If the FAIL LED remains on, go to the "Troubleshooting the Installation" section.
Figure 6 Closing the Ejector Levers
Figure 7 Captive Screw Locations
Step 7
Secure the line card in the slot splitter by tightening the top and bottom captive screws (Figure 7).
CautionTo ensure that there is adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive screws on each newly installed line card before you insert any additional line cards. These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card Configuration
After you successfully install the line card you can configure it for network use. For information about configuring the line card, see Configuring Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards at the following URL:
Note
If you are replacing this line card into the same chassis slot, you do not need to configure the line card. The system automatically downloads the configuration information used for the previous card from the PRE2.
Removing and Replacing an SFP Module
Your HHGE line card is shipped with an SFP module installed. Use the procedures in this section if you need to change the SFP module:
Use only SFP modules supplied by Cisco with your HHGE line card. Each SFP module contains an internal serial EEPROM that is security-programmed by the SFP manufacturer with information that provides a way for Cisco (through Cisco IOS software) to identify and validate the SFP module as a module type that is tested and qualified by Cisco to operate properly with your line card. Unapproved SFP modules (those not purchased directly from Cisco) do not work with the HHGE line card.
Types of SFP Modules
SFP modules from different manufacturers provide different methods for freeing the locking pin and removing the SFP module. Figure 8 shows two available module types.
Figure 8 Mylar Tab SFP Module and Bale Clasp SFP Module
•
Mylar Tab SFP—Pulling the mylar tab simultaneously releases the locking pin and pulls the SFP module out of its receptacle.
•
Bale Clasp SFP—Opening the bale clasp releases the locking pin so you can remove the SFP module from its receptacle.
Removing an SFP Module
Use the following procedure to remove an SFP module from the HHGE line card.
Note
You can remove an SFP module while the system is powered on, but the interface shuts down.
Step 1
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
Figure 9 Disconnecting the LC-type Fiber-Optic Cable
Step 2
Disconnect the fiber-optic cable connector from the SFP module (Figure 9).
Note which cable connector plug is TX and which is RX for reattachment.

Step 1
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to an ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame.
Figure 11 Inserting the SFP Module
Step 2
Gently insert the SFP module into the line card port until the edge connector is fully seated in the connector. You will hear a click as the triangular pin on the bottom of the SFP module snaps into place (Figure 11).
Step 3
Remove the dust plug from the SFP module optical ports and plug the LC-type fiber-optic cable connector into the SFP module (see Figure 11).
Removing the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card and the Slot Splitter
This section describes how to properly remove HHGE line cards and the slot splitter from the chassis (for purposes of updating or upgrading to a new line card). This section includes the following tasks:

Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
Use the following procedure to remove the HHGE line card from the slot splitter:
Step 1
Verify that you are properly grounded.
Step 2
Disconnect any network cables connected to the line card port.
Figure 12 Captive Screw Locations
Step 3
Loosen the top and bottom captive screws until they disengage and spring away from the face plate (Figure 12).
Step 4
Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the line card from the backplane (Figure 13).
Step 5
Slide the line card out of the slot splitter and place it on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic bag.
Step 6
If you are not installing a replacement line card, install a blank faceplate in the slot.
Figure 13 Opening the Ejector Levers
CautionDo not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Always install a full-slot blank faceplate into an empty slot. Half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the empty slot will rob cooling air from the other slots. A slot splitter with one half-height line card and one blank faceplate is allowed.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Removing the Slot Splitter
Use the following procedure to remove a slot splitter from the chassis:
Step 1
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal surface on the chassis or frame).
Step 2
Remove any line cards from the splitter according to the "Removing a Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card" section.
The slot splitter does not have ejector levers to disengage cards from the backplane, so you must remove any line cards before you remove the splitter.
Step 3
Loosen the top and bottom captive screws on the slot splitter (Figure 14).
Figure 14 Captive Screw Locations
Step 4
Slide the splitter out of the slot (Figure 15).
Step 5
If you are not installing a replacement splitter or a line card, install a full-slot blank faceplate in the slot.

Basic Configuration
The following example shows the syntax for configuring a HHGE card in slot 3:
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/0Router(config-if)#Configuring an HHGE Interface
Use the following procedure to create a basic configuration (enabling an interface and specifying IP routing) for the HHGE interface. Be prepared with the information you need, such as the interface IP address.
Step 1
At the global configuration prompt, specify the new interface to configure by entering the interface command.
Router(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/0Step 2
Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface using the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.172.12 255.255.255.0Step 3
If necessary, modify the HHGE line card configuration or that of the remote device to ensure that, where appropriate, they use the same settings. For more information, refer to the Remote Side Setting column in Table 3.
The table includes the command used for modifying a default value and indicates if a value needs to be the same (or opposite) on the remote end of the connection.
Step 4
Add any other configuration subcommands required for the enabling of routing protocols and adjust the interface characteristics.
Step 5
Enter the no shutdown command to enable the interface.
Router(config-if)# no shutdownStep 6
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the configuration, enter Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.
Step 7
Write the new configuration to memory.
Router# copy running-config startup-configWhen the configuration is stored, the system displays an OK message.
After you complete the configuration, you can check the configuration using the show interface gigabitEthernet slot/subslot/port command.
Upgrading to a Half Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
This section provides instructions for upgrading from two full height gigabit Ethernet line cards to half-height gigabit Ethernet line cards.
Note
Verify that you have a PRE2 installed in the router and that you are using the latest IOS software, IOS software release 12.3(13)BC or later.
To upgrade from the full-height GigE card to the HHGE card, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Verify traffic is passing through slot 3 and slot 4.
Step 2
Administratively shut down the line card in slot 3 and let traffic reroute through slot 4.
Step 3
Remove the full height line card in slot 3.
Step 4
Install the slot splitter into slot 3.
Step 5
Install the half height card in the slot splitter 3/0/0 or slot 3/1/0.
Step 6
Configure and bring up the ethernet card in slot 3/0/0 or slot 3/1/0.
