Mixing WAN DFCs
Mixing WAN DFCs
The Cisco AS5400XM supports only one type of WAN DFC at a time. The DFCs that can be installed
at one time are:
•
Four T1 DFCs
•
Four E1 DFCs
•
One CT3 DFC and three T1 DFCs
The Cisco AS5400XM software recognizes DFCs in the order of the slots they are in. For example, a
DFC in slot 2 is recognized before a DFC in slot 3. The system recognizes if there is a mix of WAN DFCs
during both power up and OIR:
•
During power up, the first WAN DFC recognized by the system is the only type brought up.
•
If there are two or more WAN DFCs of the same type and one is hot-swapped with another of a
different type, the new one is not recognized.
In both situations, an error message appears on the console that is similar to the following example:
00:01:12:%CARRIER-2-T1_E1_MIX:Cannot mix T1 and E1 8PRI DFC cards in chassis, do not power
up invalid card in slot 7
