The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module is used to connect to and from access rings carrying a high concentration of traffic. Table: Maximum Number of Cards/Modules Supported in Each Chassis lists the maximum number of cards or modules that are supported on each platform. A single card can be installed in the 7705 SAR-8 Shelf V2 or the 7705 SAR-18; however, it is strongly recommended that a minimum of two cards be installed for redundancy.

The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module has two small form-factor pluggable (XFP) ports on its faceplate. The two XFP ports are for 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFPs. The card provides high processing power and throughput capacity and operates at 10 Gb/s for Ethernet ports and 2.5 Gb/s for the virtual port (v-port).
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card provides larger table space for FIBs, ACLs, and so on. The card also supports the full IPv6 subnet range for IPv6 static routes and interface IP addresses on the v-port. The supported range for statically provisioned or dynamically learned routes is from /1 to /128. Supported interface IP address prefixes are from /4 to /127, and /128 on system or loopback interfaces.
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) module supports IPv6 on the v-port. The supported range for statically provisioned or dynamically learned routes is from /1 to /64 or is /128 (indicating a host route). Supported interface IP address prefixes are from /4 to /64, and /128 on system or loopback interfaces.
The 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) Adapter card/module supports LLDP on the Ethernet ports but not on the v-port.
