Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco 12016 80Gbps Enhanced Fabric (SKU 12016E/80)?
The Cisco 12016E/80 is a high-performance backplane fabric card for the Cisco 12000 series routers, delivering 80 Gbps per Switch Fabric Card (SFC) and optimized for large-scale IP/MPLS deployments.
What are the key features of the Cisco 12016E/80 Enhanced Fabric?
It provides non-blocking 80 Gbps per SFC, low-latency packet forwarding (<1 µs), three SFC slots and two Connectivity Service Card (CSC) slots, hot-swap support, and in-service software upgrade capability under Cisco IOS XR.
How much aggregate throughput does the 12016E/80 deliver?
With three 80 Gbps SFCs installed, the module scales to 240 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity, supporting hundreds of millions of packets per second.
Which chassis models are compatible with SKU 12016E/80?
The 12016E/80 is compatible with Cisco 12016, 12416, and 12816 series routers running Cisco IOS XR 4.x or later.
How do the three SFCs and two CSCs enhance performance?
Three SFCs deliver parallel high-speed data-plane switching, while two CSCs provide redundant control-plane services (routing, QoS, MPLS), enabling stateful switchover and nonstop forwarding.
What are the typical use cases for the Cisco 12016E/80?
It is ideal for service-provider edge aggregation, data-center spine/backbone, high-bandwidth transit, and multi-service edge applications requiring scalable, non-blocking fabric.
What are the physical dimensions and power requirements?
Each fabric card occupies 1 RU, weighs 8 lbs (3.6 kg) and consumes up to 250 W; operating temperature is 0 °C to 40 °C with front-to-back airflow.
How is the 12016E/80 installed in the chassis?
Slide the card into a designated fabric slot until the ejector handles click, lock the latches and connect power—no additional tools required.
Does the Cisco 12016E/80 support hot-swapping?
Yes, both SFC and CSC modules support hot-swap, allowing replacement or upgrades without shutting down the router.
What redundancy options are available with this fabric?
You can deploy N+1 SFC redundancy (one spare SFC) and dual CSCs in active/standby mode for control-plane high availability.
Which software versions support the 12016E/80?
It requires Cisco IOS XR 4.x or later; for advanced features such as MPLS and Segment Routing, upgrade to IOS XR 6.x or above.
How does the 12016E/80 improve network scalability?
Its modular fabric architecture allows incremental addition of SFCs/CSCs, enabling seamless expansion to hundreds of gigabits without disrupting traffic.
What licensing is required for full functionality?
An IOS XR Advanced Services license is needed for MPLS, advanced QoS, multicast and Segment Routing; base routing features work under the Enterprise license.
How does the 12016E/80 ensure high availability?
It supports nonstop forwarding, in-service software upgrades, dual CSC stateful switchover and redundant fabric modules to eliminate single points of failure.
What monitoring and management interfaces are supported?
Manage and monitor via CLI, SNMP v2/v3, NetFlow, Cisco Prime Infrastructure and streaming telemetry (gRPC, NETCONF/YANG).
What warranty and support options are available?
Cisco provides a 90-day limited hardware warranty; SmartNet Service contracts include 24/7 support, advance replacement and software updates.
How can I order the Cisco 12016E/80 and what is the lead time?
Order through any authorized Cisco reseller or partner; typical lead time is 4–6 weeks, subject to regional inventory and Cisco stock levels.
