Cisco ASR 920 Router Features
GigabitEthernet Copper Ports
Fixed copper GigabitEthernet (GE) interfaces are provided through standard RJ-45 connectors. These
ports support the following features:
• Standard 10/100/1000Base-T/TX operation with forced or auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
• Automatic crossover (auto-MDIX) for straight-through and crossover connections.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
• Frame size of 9216 bytes.
• Synchronous ENET operation that provides its recovered receive clock as an input clock source for
the SETS as well as uses the system-wide reference clock to derive its transmit clock.
GE SFP Ports
The GE SFP ports support the following features:
• 100Base-FX and 1000Base-X SFP modules.
• Digital optical monitoring as specified by the SFP.
• Any mix of SFPs is supported unless specifically noted.
Note Only six Smart SFPs are supported on the router.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
• Frame size of 9216 bytes.
• Synchronous ENET operation that provides its recovered receive clock as an input clock source for
the SETS as well as uses the system-wide reference clock to derive its transmit clock.
Note Copper based SFPs and Smart SFPs do not support synchronous ENET operations.
SFP+ Ports
The SFP+ ports support the following features:
• Digital optical monitoring as specified by the optical transceiver module.
• Any mix of SFPs is supported unless specifically noted.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
• Frame size of 9216 bytes.
• Smart SFPs do not support synchronous ENET operations
