48-port SFP Line Card in an EX8200 Switch
The line cards in EX8200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet
interfaces on a single assembly. They are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be
installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are
hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering
off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
EX8200 switches use four types of line cards:
• 8-port SFP+ line card
• 40-port SFP+ line card
• 48-port SFP line card
• 48-port RJ-45 line card
You can use any combination of line cards in an EX8200 switch.
The 48-port SFP line card for EX8200 switches (see Figure 15 on page 34) has 48 1-gigabit
SFP ports on the faceplate in which you can install SFP transceivers. The line card is
shipped with 48 dust covers (in the accessory bag). Each port has two LEDs. See “Network
Port LEDs in an EX8200 Switch” on page 37.
