Processor Feature Card Functionality (Catalyst 8510 MSR and
LightStream 1010)
Two types of feature cards are available for the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch
routers: FC-PCQ and FC-PFQ. Each card provides the required ATM Forum Traffic Management
features. FC-PCQ contains a subset of the FC-PFQ features, as described in
Table 9-2
.
Note
To determine which feature card you have installed, enter the
show hardware
EXEC command. Either
FeatureCard1, for FC-PCQ, or FC-PFQ displays in the Ctrlr-Type column.
