PIM and Transceiver Modules
This article describes the Pluggable Interface Modules (PIMs) for the vEdge 2000 router as well as the SFP and SFP+ transceivers for those PIMs.
PIMs for the vEdge 2000 Router
The vEdge 2000 router offers interface modularity, providing two PIM slots that support two types of PIMs:
- 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIM (Model: PIM-8x1GE-SFP)
- 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PIM (Model: PIM-2x10GE-SFP+)
The two PIM slots are labeled PIM Slot 0 and PIM Slot 1.
Note: You can install the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIM in either PIM Slot 0 or PIM Slot 1. However, when it is installed in PIM Slot 0, only four ports are usable. When it is installed in PIM Slot 1, all eight ports are usable. There is no such restriction with the 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PIM. For details, see Interface Port Combinations for the vEdge 2000 Router below.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the front panel of the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIM and the 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PIM, respectively.

The status LED on the front panel indicates the status of the PIM (see Table 1). For an explanation of the LAN/WAN LED and the Link/Activity/Status LED, see Network Port LEDs.

Interface Port Combinations for the vEdge 2000 Router
A vEdge 2000 router has four fixed 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and you can install one or two PIM modules for additional interfaces.
You can combine the fixed interfaces and the PIM modules as follows:
- Two 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PIMs. This combination allows you to configure four 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This would give you a total of four 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and four 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the router.
- One 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SPF+ PIM (in PIM Slot 0) and one 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SPF PIM (in PIM Slot 1). This combination allows you to configure two 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This would give you a total of two 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface and twelve 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the router.
- Two 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIMs. This combination allows you to configure twelve 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This would give you a total of sixteen 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the router.

When the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIM is in PIM Slot 0, only the first four ports are usable; the remaining four ports are unusable.
Changing PIM Types
If you change the type of PIM that is installed in a vEdge 2000 router slot from a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIM, or vice versa, possibly as part of an RMA process, follow these steps:
- Delete the configuration for the old PIM (the PIM you are removing or returning as part of the RMA process).
- Remove the old PIM.
- Insert the new PIM (the PIM you received as part of the RMA process).
- Reboot the vEdge 2000 router.
- Configure the interfaces for the new PIM.
Supported Transceiver Modules
The built-in Gigabit Ethernet network ports on the vEdge 2000 router and the network ports on the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP PIM support SFP transceivers. The 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 2x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PIM support SFP+ transceivers.
This section describes the optical interfaces supported for the SFP and SFP+ transceivers and the copper interfaces supported for the SFP transceivers.
Note: It is recommended that you use the optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Viptela for your vEdge routers.
The tables below describe the optical interface support over single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) and multimode fiber-optic (MMF) cables for SFP and SFP+ transceivers and over the copper interface for SFP transceivers.
