8x10GE-X interface modules
The 8x10GE-X interface modules provide 8 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet with support for 1M IPv4
routes in hardware.
NOTE
Gen-2 8x10GE-X modules require high speed switch fabric modules to operate. You can replace
switch fabric modules with high-speed switch fabric modules while the system is powered on and
running. For more information about high-speed switch fabric modules, refer to “High-speed switch
fabric modules” on page 50.
Figure 16 shows the faceplate of the 8x10GE-X module.
