The 80Gbps consolidated fabric is a perfect fit for our 12404. It simplified our architecture while providing consistent, high-speed throughput for our metropolitan links.
Robust and efficient. This fabric and alarm card bundle offers great performance for the 4-slot chassis, keeping our network responsive and stable.
Excellent value for scaling. The 80Gbps capacity is rock solid and the consolidated design saves space while improving overall system reliability.
Professional grade switching. The installation was quick and the immediate improvement in link stability was a testament to the quality of this fabric.
Reliable and steady performance. This 80G fabric upgrade is essential for maintaining carrier-grade services on the Cisco 12404 platform.
The 80Gbps Enhanced Consolidated Fabric and Alarm (SKU: 12404E/80) is a high-performance fabric module for the Cisco12404 chassis, delivering 80 Gbps of aggregated bandwidth and integrated alarm capabilities for real-time fault monitoring and high availability.
This module provides up to 80 Gbps of consolidated throughput, built-in alarms for proactive fault detection, seamless integration with Cisco IOS, and hot-swappable design for minimal downtime and streamlined network management.
The 12404E/80 is fully compatible with the Cisco12404 chassis. It requires a dedicated slot in the chassis backplane and works with all Cisco IOS releases certified for the 12404 platform.
Power down the Cisco12404 chassis, insert the 12404E/80 into the designated expansion slot, secure the module with the retention screws, and power up. The module auto-registers with the chassis and IOS.
Yes. The 12404E/80 supports hot-swapping. You can replace or install the module without shutting down the entire Cisco12404 chassis, ensuring continuous network operation.
The integrated alarm subsystem offers real-time monitoring of link status, fabric integrity, power anomalies, and environmental thresholds, with SNMP traps and syslog notifications for rapid issue resolution.
Use the Cisco IOS CLI: navigate to the alarm configuration mode, define thresholds, enable SNMP-trap notifications, and apply to the 12404E/80 interface. Commands are documented in the Cisco12404 configuration guide.
The 12404E/80 consumes up to 40 W under peak load and requires adequate airflow consistent with Cisco12404 chassis specifications. Refer to the hardware installation guide for detailed ambient temperature and ventilation guidelines.
Yes. If your chassis has an available expansion slot, you can install the 12404E/80 to upgrade to 80 Gbps fabric capacity. Ensure IOS and hardware compatibility before deployment.
No additional software license is needed. The 80Gbps Enhanced Consolidated Fabric and Alarm functionality is included natively and activated upon module installation in a supported Cisco12404 chassis.
The 12404E/80 carries a one-year hardware warranty backed by Cisco and is eligible for Cisco SMARTnet® or Cisco SA subscriptions for advanced replacement, 24×7 TAC support, and software updates.
By consolidating fabric traffic at 80 Gbps and providing proactive alarms, the module minimizes single points of failure, accelerates fault detection, and ensures consistent uptime in mission-critical deployments.
Built-in diagnostics include link integrity tests, self-health checks, temperature monitoring, and fabric loopback tests—all accessible via Cisco IOS or SNMP MIBs for comprehensive status reporting.
Contact your Cisco authorized reseller, reference SKU 12404E/80, specify your Cisco12404 chassis serial number, and request expedited shipping to minimize network upgrade windows.
Unlike the standard module’s 40 Gbps capacity, the 12404E/80 doubles throughput to 80 Gbps and integrates advanced alarm features for superior performance monitoring and scalability.
