This chapter provides information on the Cisco 7200 series routers. The information is organized into the following sections:
The Cisco 7200 series combines Cisco Systems' proven software technology with exceptional reliability, availability, serviceability, and performance features to meet the requirements of today's most mission-critical internetworks. The Cisco 7200 series provides information system professionals with the flexibility they need to meet the constantly changing requirements at the core and distribution points of the internetwork.
The Cisco 7200 series routers include the Cisco 7206 and the Cisco 7204. (See Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3.) These routers provide routing and bridging for a wide variety of protocols and network media. Network interfaces reside on port adapters and service adapters that provide a connection between the routers' Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses and external networks, and support any combination of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, ATM, serial, ISDN, and HSSI interfaces. For more information about port adapters, see the "Port Adapters and Service Adapters for the Cisco 7000 Family" chapter.
The Cisco 7200 series runs Cisco IOS software, the industry-leading networking software. Cisco IOS software assures robust, reliable internetworks by supporting both LAN and WAN protocols, and providing optimized network services including security, quality of service, and traffic management. In addition, Cisco IOS software allows centralized, integrated, and automated installation and management of internetworks.
The Cisco 7200 series offers software feature sets and feature licenses, which allow you to select the package that best meets your needs. You can select from six feature sets, one of which is required. The feature sets can be enhanced with additional feature licenses, which are required to use specific features with subsets. If requirements change in the future, you can upgrade to a higher level feature set and add another feature license.
The Cisco 7204 contains four slots for port adapters and service adapters, and two slots for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Flash memory cards.
The Cisco 7206 contains six slots for port adapters and two slots for PCMCIA Flash memory cards.
The Cisco 7200 series routers also contain a slot for an input/output (I/O) controller and a network processing engine. The I/O controller can be purchased with or without Fast Ethernet support. The Fast Ethernet input/output controller includes an MII connector.
The reliability, availability, and serviceability features of the Cisco 7200 series include the following:

The Cisco 7200 series base system includes the following standard features:
The Cisco 7200 series routers are easily serviced; all major components are field-replaceable units (FRUs). The following Cisco 7200 series components are FRUs:

Hardware for the Cisco 7200 series includes port adapters, service adapters, memory, console and auxiliary cables, a second power supply, accessories, and upgrades for the network processing engine. Table 17 lists hardware product numbers for the Cisco 7200 series.
The network processing engine maintains and executes the system management functions for the Cisco 7200 series routers, including:
The network processing engine also shares the system memory and environmental monitoring functions for the router with the I/O controller.
The Cisco 7200 series requires one network processing engine, which can be ordered in two ways: as part of an initial system, or as a spare. The network processing engine can be ordered with your choice of 32-, 64-, or 128-MB DRAM. The default is 32 MB.
The network processing engine is available in three versions: the NPE-100, NPE-150 and the NPE-200. All three network processing engines offer the same functionality but meet different performance requirements. In addition, the NPE-150 contains 1 MB of packet SRAM and the NPE-200 contains 4 MB of packet SRAM; the NPE-100 does not contain packet SRAM. The network processing engines consist of the following components:
Table 16 summarizes the memory components of the network processing engine.
| Memory Type | Size | Quantity | Description | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DRAM | 32MB to 128 MB | 2 to 4 | 8-, 16-, or 32-MB SIMMs (based on maximum DRAM required) | |

| Unified cache | 512 KB | 4 | Secondary cache for the R4700 and R5000 RISC processors |

DRAM configuration for Cisco 7200 series routers must be calculated based on each option and port adapter added to the router. Because of the wide variety of port adapters, service adapters, and configurations available for the Cisco 7200 series routers, a separate set of guidelines was developed to assist you with DRAM calculations. These guidelines can be found on CCO at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/data/doc/hardware/fusion/7206/cfig_nts/3471pac6.htm .
Input/output controllers share the system memory functions and the environmental monitoring functions with the network processing engine for the Cisco 7200 series routers.
The I/O controllers consist of the following components:
In the Cisco 7200 series routers, Flash memory cards can be used to store and boot Cisco IOS images and/or system configurations. A Cisco 7200 series router can also be used as a TFTP server, with the Flash card memory used to store other files such as software and microcode images for other systems. Cisco recommends using one card for image storage and another for configurations. The number of system images that can be stored on the card depends on both the Flash card size and the file size.
Flash memory cards are available in 8-, 16-, or 20-MB densities. The cards are Intel Series 2+ Flash memory cards, which conform with PCMCIA format. Flash memory cards that are shipped with the system contain a software image; Flash memory cards ordered as spares are shipped blank and must be formatted before use.
Interface support for the Cisco 7200 series is provided by port adapters and service adapters installed in port adapter slots 1 through 6 for the Cisco 7206, and slots 1 through 4 for the Cisco 7204.
Port adapters and service adapters for the Cisco 7200 series are described in the "Port Adapters and Service Adapters for the Cisco 7000 Family" chapter. For cable illustrations, see the "Cables and Transceivers" chapter later in the catalog.

The Cisco 7200 series supports dual power supplies. The optional additional power supply system provides dual load-sharing for protection against system interruption if one power supply system or one source of power fails.
For international spare AC-input power supply orders, Cisco uses country-specific product numbers, which specify the type of power cord to be included in the order.
Several spare accessories are available for the Cisco 7200 series: a chassis, a rack-mount kit, a cable-management bracket, packing material, power supply covers, fans, midplane assemblies, blank card carriers, and a port adapter divider. Table 17 lists the product numbers for Cisco 7200 series spare accessories.
Table 17 lists the product numbers for Cisco 7200 series hardware options. If a product number ends with an equal sign (=), the item can be ordered only as a spare. If a product number does not end with an equal sign, the item can be ordered as a spare or as a configurable part of a system order. If a base unit product number ends with -CH, the item is available either through the Cisco authorized reseller channel, or through your local Cisco sales office. Other hardware options can also be ordered through the Cisco authorized reseller channel.

The Cisco IOS software available for the Cisco 7200 series routers is described in the following sections:
This section describes Cisco IOS software feature sets for the Cisco 7200 series routers. With feature sets, you can order software combinations that support your particular application. Optional licenses expand the feature sets by providing WAN packet protocol, interdomain routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), and NetFlow switching software. To order, select one feature set (there is no default) and order as many of the optional feature licenses as needed.
The Cisco 7200 series offers the following feature set:
The Cisco IOS feature set tables use the following conventions to identify features:
Software feature packs consist of CD-ROMs that contain Cisco IOS software feature set images and a Windows 95 application, which loads the images onto a router.
Software feature packs are available for most of the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 feature set images. Table 18 lists the product numbers for feature sets and feature packs available in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
For more information about software feature packs, see the "Cisco IOS Feature Packs" section in the "Cisco IOS Software" chapter earlier in the catalog.
