Hello Saied,

for the SPA I've found the config guide

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis12000/linecard/lc_spa/spa_swcs/1232sy/index.htm

I've found a 1 port 10GE linecard

notice that 12000 XR implies IOS XR (modular)

Hope to help

I actually use both options on same 7609, SIP-601.

I use one 10G as uplink and 2 others bundled up as an etherchannel.

all works well !
