BD 8810 - upgrade to 10Gbps

[Mark_Lumsden]

Hi, can anyone let me know what is required to upgrade a BD 8810 (purchased 4+ years ago) to run ports at 10Gbps? Which hardware parts/firmware requirements? Regards, mark

We have legacy MSM-48 😞

If you type "show slot" you will see the model type of the MSM.
MSM-G8X and MSM-48 is legacy.

Thanks both of you. How would I know if the MSM is legacy? [note i only have CLI access at the moment]

Hi Mark,

Robert is correct. Basically the only thing you need is a 10G linecard.
However if your MSMs are legacy you may need to upgrade them as well.

Thanks,

Ron

According to the current data sheet you just need to insert a 10G linecard. However, depending on your MSM, you might not be able to run all ports at wire speed (page 6, MSM table, "Slot Capacity").



Can't say anything about the required firmware though; always using the latest 15.3.1.4 release. Hardware support should be listed in the EXOS release notes.
