Go to Table 1 and look under Ethernet SPA.

What do you mean by used all of your Ethernet Ports?

With the ASR 1006, you will have a SIP, which basically provides the electrical connection to the SPA cards. The SIP will come in a variety of models.

For instance, if you used a SIP10, how many SPA cards and what types do you have installed?

The links that Leo provided should give you a good reference point to find the SPA that is right for you as well.

hello

I have to order for below Gigabit Ethernet SPA and in need to confirm wich SFP optics i will choose, i am looking for Copper (RJ-45) SFP optics i need to confirm

Cisco 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter

Cisco 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter

thank you in advance for your help

If the CIsco 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA is enough for you, it will be a lot cheaper than the 10 port.

Also, this port is a combo port, so you will have two copper and two fiber. Remember to use 'media-type' commands as well.

I would recommend the following SPA card (unless you need more ports)

Cisco 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter, Version 2

SPA-2X1GE-V2

Ifyou go all the way down to the bottom of this link, (or close to the bottom), you will see compatible SFPs.

Pick the one that best fits your needs.
