Prerequisites for Configuring the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
To use the HHGE line card, you must ensure the following:
•Cisco IOS Release 12.3(13)BC or later release is installed on your system.
•A Cisco Performance Routing Engine 2 (PRE2) module is installed in the router.
Restrictions for Configuring the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The following restrictions apply to the HHGE line card:
•It must be used with a PRE2 module.
•It must be placed only in slot 3 and slot 4 in the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router. Using slots 1 and slot 2 causes a conflict with the Timing, Communication, and Control Plus (TCC+) modules.
Information About the Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
This section describes the Cisco Half-Height Gigabit Ethernet line card.
Benefits
The HHGE provides the following benefits to cable Multiple Service Operators (MSOs), service providers, and their partners and customers:
•Provides 1-port full- duplex 1-Gbps data rate
•Supports EtherChannel network
•Supports OIR for 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX GBICs, as described in the IEEE 802.3z specifications
•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
Feature Overview
The HHGE line card (see Figure 1) contains a single Gigabit Ethernet port that provides a trunk uplink to switches and core routers. The 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 and supports a variety of Gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, and ZX), which you can change or upgrade at any time.

LEDs
This HHGE 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 1):
•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 GBIC 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.
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 was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(23)BC1.
The Cisco GLC-T, 1000BASE-T SFP module connects a 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 Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) Module and Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC Module Install. Info. and Specifications 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.
Table 1 lists the interface types supported by the HHGE line card.

1 A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP modules, and a short link distance (ten meters) can cause transceiver saturation resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). In addition, when using the LX/LH SFP module with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module 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 The 1000BASE-ZX SFP module 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.
For more information about the SFPs, see the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps5000/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
