The line cards in EX8200 switches combine a Packet Forwarding Engine and Ethernet
interfaces on a single assembly. They are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be
installed in the line card slots on the front of the switch chassis. The line cards are
hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering
off the switch or disrupting switch functions.
EX8200 switches use four types of line cards:
