Cisco 8000 Overview

The Cisco® 8000 Series combines the revolutionary Cisco Silicon One processor, Cisco IOS® XR software, and a set of clean-sheet chassis to deliver a breakthrough in high-performance routers. In particular, the Cisco 8000 modular systems portfolio, ranging from 4 slots to 18 slots, provides the benefits of a flexible deployment size and can be tailored to multiple use cases ranging from high-speed performance core to metro aggregation while providing high system density up to 576x 400GbE ports and 2304x 100GbE ports per slot in the 8-slot chassis. The performance of the Cisco 8000 distributed systems goes hand in hand with the evolution of the line cards.

The latest third-generation P100 processor pushes the performance to 19.2 Tbps in 7-nm technology and delivers high-scale routing with deep buffering. P100 processor innovation helps the Cisco 8000 Series to expand the addressable use cases from core and peering in the network to high-scale aggregation services.

This data sheet introduces three new P100-based line cards and their capabilities. These line cards, along with third-generation fabric cards, deliver an industry-leading high density of 28.8 Tbps per slot in the distributed systems. These line cards support 800, 400, 100, 40, 25, and 10 GbE ports at line rate in any slot of a Cisco 8000 Series modular systems.

For more information regarding the Cisco Silicon One P100 processor, please visit the P100 data sheet.

Key benefits of Cisco 8000 Series modular systems powered by the Cisco Silicon One P100

Architectural innovation

Advanced 100GbE serializer/deserializer (SerDes) technology allows customers to double current 400GbE port densities and increase by 8-fold current 100GbE port densities in the same form factor, supporting 72x 400GbE and 288x 100GbE ports per slot.

Sustainability

Distributed systems have up to twice the space efficiency of other 400GbE chassis systems, with double the capacity in the same chassis footprint. With up to 68% power savings, the 800G systems can help customers meet their sustainability goals.

Business agility

Pay-as-you-grow flexible consumption model helps customers prepare their deployments for the future by right-sizing the network, adding capacity over time to better align to business outcomes.

Operational simplicity

With the latest enhancements in Cisco Crosswork® Network Automation, along with advanced visualization dashboards, services monitoring with actionable insights, and closed-loop network optimization, customers can enjoy consistent quality of experience in their services.

Compatibility

All P100 line cards require a new generation of router processors (8800-RP2) and 112GbE SerDes fabric cards (8808-FC1) to operate in 8808 distributed systems. The 88-LC1-12TH24FH-E and 88-LC1-52Y8H-EM line cards cannot coexist in the same system along with Q200-based line cards. Only the 88-LC1-36EH line card can coexist with Q200 line cards in the same system in Q200 mode.

Cisco Licensing

Cisco Licensing is a flexible and secure licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase, activate, manage, renew, and upgrade software products across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. And it’s secure—you control what users can access. With Cisco Licensing you get:

      Easy activation. Cisco Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (product activation keys).

      Unified management. My Cisco Entitlements provides a complete view into all your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.

      License flexibility. Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.

In order to retrieve your licenses, you will first need to set up an account on Cisco Software Central.

For a more detailed overview of Cisco Licensing, go to www.cisco.com/c/en/us/buy/licensing/licensing-guide.html.

The IOS XR Flexible Consumption Model requires Cisco Licensing registration and license usage reporting. A customer network under IOS XR FCM 2.0 is considered compliant if the FCM 2.0 enabled devices in the customer’s network are registered to Cisco Licensing and are reporting the usage. For a more detailed overview on Cisco IOS XR Software Flexible Consumption Model 2.0, go to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/8000-series-routers/ios-xr-software-flexible-consumption-model-2-0-ds.html.
