Cisco SPA-5X1GE-V2 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter Module

• Enterprise WAN Expansion: Add Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to compatible routing platforms for branch and enterprise WAN connectivity.
• Service Provider Aggregation: Support Ethernet aggregation in eligible service provider network architectures.
• Data Centre Connectivity: Provide additional Ethernet interfaces for supported interconnect and routing designs.
• Campus Network Backbone: Expand router interfaces for campus network aggregation where the host platform is appropriate.
• Metro Ethernet Networks: Consider for compatible Ethernet service and aggregation deployments.
• Legacy Infrastructure Upgrades: Extend supported existing router installations when the module remains compatible and appropriate for the operational requirements.
• Managed Network Services: Add interface capacity for eligible service provider and managed network environments.
• VLAN-Based Network Segmentation: Support tagged Ethernet traffic across compatible routing configurations.

• Five Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Adds up to five 1GbE interfaces to a compatible Cisco routing platform, supporting additional network connections and aggregation requirements.
• Modular Router Integration: Designed for supported Cisco SPA-based systems, allowing network teams to expand existing infrastructure where compatibility is confirmed.
• Flexible Interface Options: Supports compatible optical or copper connectivity configurations, subject to port type, transceiver, and host-platform requirements.
• VLAN Tagging Support: Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and QinQ (IEEE 802.1ad) capabilities as specified for the module, helping separate traffic across supported network designs.
• Jumbo Frame Support: Supports jumbo frames up to 9,188 bytes according to the cited product specifications, which can benefit compatible applications handling larger Ethernet frames.
• Online Insertion and Removal: OIR support on compatible platforms can simplify module servicing and replacement without requiring a full system shutdown, subject to host-system procedures and configuration.
• Network Management Support: Platform-supported CLI and SNMP management help administrators monitor and manage the routing environment.
• Enterprise and Service Provider Use: Suitable for evaluating WAN expansion, Ethernet aggregation, and network infrastructure upgrades on supported platforms.
