spa 8fe

[ciscoenter]

Hello,

I'm interested to buy SPA-8X1FE-TX-V2 module in a 7604 with supervisor 32 but i'd like to know if it's possible to use etherchannel on those ports.

Anyone has tried that before? I didn't find any docs about that.

thanks,

Milko

Hello Milko,

SPA modules are for WAN usage like running MPLS or other router features

And you need a SIP linecard in the chassis to use it.

Using them for building a port-channel can be a waste of resources: if you have already a SIP linecard with an empty SPA slot then it can be considered.

Use the following link to config guide of SIP/SPA

http://tools.cisco.com/search/display?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fen%2FUS%2Fdocs%2Finterfaces_modules%2Fshared_port_adapters%2Fconfiguration%2F7600series%2FSRC1%2F76cfgsip.html&pos=3&strqueryid=7&websessionid=a-9_mv69wl5b50M3XinBgaq

the answer looks like to be negative:

EtherChannel is only supported on the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA and the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7600 SIP-600. EtherChannel is not supported on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7600 SIP-400 or on a Fast Ethernet SPA on the Cisco 7600 SIP-200.

see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/shared_port_adapters/configuration/7600series/SRC1/76cfgeth.html#wp1181598

If you have a SIP200 it is not possible to config etherchannel

Hope to help
