Feature Overview

Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
The PRE installed in the Cisco 10000 series router chassis must support the Cisco IOS software running
on the router. Use the show version command to check the PRE version installed.
To see if a feature is supported by a Cisco IOS release, to locate the software document for that feature,
or to check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on
your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com at
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl
This tool does not verify whether line cards within a system are compatible, but does provide the
minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware line cards, modules, or options.
You must be a registered user on Cisco.com to access this tool.

ports per slot)
Supports full line rate transfers of packet sizes from 64 bytes to 8000 bytes
Supports 256 serial data channels for the first three ports, and 255 serial data channels for the last
port, or 1023 channels per half-height module
The 256 (255) serial data channels per port are configurable up to:
1 DS3 interface
–
28 DS1 interfaces
–
256 (255) N x DS0 interfaces
–
Or any combination of these interfaces that does not exceed the bandwidth of the port
–
Port 3 supports only 255 channels.
