Which option lists the types of card that fit into the front of the Cisco ASR 5000 chassis?

Question

Options

• Agigabit Ethernet cards
• Bfan cards and line cards
• Cline cards and application cards
• Dsystem management cards and packet service cards

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• D
  89% (17)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the front of the Cisco ASR 5000 chassis is designed to house System Management Cards (SMCs), which control overall chassis operations, and Packet Service Cards (PSCs), which handle high-speed packet processing and forwarding. Option A is wrong because Gigabit Ethernet cards are not a distinct card type slotted into the ASR 5000 front - physical network interfaces are provided through line cards, not standalone GigE cards in that context. Option B is wrong because fan cards are a physical cooling component housed separately (typically in the rear or dedicated bays), not in the front card slots alongside line cards. Option C is wrong because while line cards and application cards are real ASR 5000 concepts, they describe rear-chassis components, not the front-facing slots.

Memory tip: Think "Steer the Packets from the front" - System management + Packet service cards live up front, while line/application cards load from the back.
