GigaVUE-TA10 Chassis

This section describes the physical layout of the GigaVUE-TA10 chassis, including a description of all ports and connectors. The GigaVUE-TA10 chassis consists of a 1RU, rack-mountable, 19”-wide chassis with management, network, and tool ports at the front and power connections at the rear. Figure 1: The GigaVUE-TA10 Chassis shows the ports at the front of the GigaVUE-TA10 chassis. Refer to Table 1: GigaVUE-TA10 Ports for a description of each of the ports.

Ports	Description
Mgmt	Use the Mgmt port for remote configuration of the GigaVUE-TA10 Traffic Aggregator over a 10/100/1000 Ethernet network. Refer to Connecting Serial Console and Mgmt Ports on page 57 for information on establishing a SSH configuration session with the GigaVUE-TA10 Traffic Aggregator.
Console	Use the Console port for local configuration of the GigaVUE-TA10 Traffic Aggregator over a serial connection. Refer to Access the Command-Line Interface over the console Port on page 58 for information on establishing a serial configuration session with the GigaVUE-TA10 Traffic Aggregator in a terminal window.
Ports x1..x24 or Ports x1..x48	The GigaVUE-TA10 provides either 24 or 48 10Gb/1Gb ports, depending on the version. Each of the 10Gb/1Gb ports can be used as either a network (ingress) or tool (egress) port. For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”. Refer to Port Licensing on page 63 for license information to expand the 24-port GigaVUE-TA10A to 48 ports, including the four 40Gb ports.
Ports q1..q4 (or as x49..x64)	GigaVUE-TA10 also includes four 40Gb ports (q1..q4). The 40Gb ports can be used as a 40Gb ingress port, or, as a high-speed tool port for aggregated output to a matching 40Gb port on a GigaVUE H Series node. In addition, you can also configure card modes that let either two (q1..q2) or all four (q1..q4) of the 40Gb ports operate as four logical 10Gb ports (x49..x64). This is useful when deploying the GigaVUE-TA10 in an environment that does not yet include 40Gb interfaces. Refer to Configuring the Card Mode on GigaVUE-TA10. Once a 40Gb port has been configured to operate as four 10Gb ports, cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, which takes a 40Gb QSFP+ input from the GigaVUE-TA10 and splits it to four independent 10Gb output ports. Refer to Breakout Panels. The q1..q4 ports accept 40Gb QSFP+ connections using active-fiber QSFP+ SR or PLR4 transceivers. The q1..q4 ports accept 40Gb BiDi transceivers (RX-only or full duplex). RX-only BiDi only supports RX on network ports. Full Duplex (RX/TX) supports network and tool ports. Refer to Port Licensing on page 63 for license information to expand the 24-port GigaVUE-TA10A to 48 ports, including the four 40Gb ports.
Transceivers	For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
