Cisco 4000 Series

Cisco 4000 Series

This chapter provides information on the Cisco 4000 series routers. It is organized into the following sections:

Product Overview

The Cisco 4000 series consists of the Cisco 4500, Cisco 4500-M, Cisco 4700, and Cisco 4700-M routers. Although the Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers are no longer orderable, they are still supported. The Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers have been replaced by the Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700-M routers.

The Cisco 4000 series routers run Cisco IOS software, Cisco's industry-leading networking software that provides a variety of feature sets. You can choose a feature set that supports your specific protocol environment. Cisco IOS software assures robust, reliable internetworks by supporting both LAN and WAN protocols, optimizing WAN services, and controlling internetwork access. In addition, Cisco IOS software allows centralized, integrated, and automated installation and management of internetworks.

The Cisco 4000 series routers offer Flash EPROM technology as a standard feature. Flash EPROMs enable you to distribute new software releases from a central location. After the software is distributed, the routers can reboot from programs stored in local Flash memory.

All models provide a configurable modular router platform by using network processor modules (NPMs)--individual removable cards used for external network connections. Because the router's modules support many variations of protocols, line speeds, and transmission media, the Cisco 4000 series can accommodate all types of network computing environments. As Cisco introduces new modules, the Cisco 4000 series can be upgraded to keep pace with technological advances.

This catalog introduces new versions of the high density serial NPM and the 1-port single-mode ATM OC-3c NPM. Both are supported on the 4500, 4500-M, 4700, and 4700-M (but not on the 4000 or 4000-M).

In the case of the high density serial module, 2 new versions have been added, one which mixes 8 low speed serial ports of RS232 with low speed ports of V.35 (NP-2T16S-232V35) and another which mixes 8 low speed serial ports of RS232 with 8 low speed serial ports of X.21 (NP-2T16S-232X21). These are in addition to the V.35, RS232, and X.21 only versions (NP-2T16S-V.35, NP-2T16S-RS232, NP-2T16S-X21).

In the case of the 1-port single-mode ATM OC-3cNPM, we have added a version that supports "long reach" distances (NP-1A-SM-LR) to the current version which supports "intermediate reach" distances (NP-1A-SM).

The Cisco 4000 series routers can support combinations of up to three of the following NPMs:

Memory Options

All Cisco 4000 series routers share the same physical design. Each router offers three slots for LAN or WAN connectivity and uses the same optional NPMs and software features for compatibility and investment protection. Three different types of memory are available for the Cisco 4000 series--main memory, shared memory, and system Flash memory. Each type of memory serves a different purpose in routing packets from one interface to another. The benefit of this architecture is that the system can read program instructions or routing table data from main memory at the same time as it is moving packets between interfaces (using shared memory), thus increasing overall system performance and lowering network latency.

Factors That Affect Memory Requirements

You can change memory configurations in the Cisco 4000 series to accommodate internetworking demands. The memory requirements are driven by the following three factors:

Main DRAM Memory

The Cisco 4000 series runs from an image stored in main DRAM. This memory is also used by the system for tables and stacks. The amount of main memory required is determined by the size of the image and by the configuration of the internetwork. Cisco regularly publishes product bulletins that detail what memory is required for any particular Cisco IOS feature subset, and also releases documentation that specifies what memory is needed.

Shared DRAM Memory

The Cisco 4000 series routers use shared DRAM (also known as packet memory) for handling user data. The recommended amount of shared memory is determined by the type and number of physical or virtual interfaces supported by the router. Other factors that impact the amount of required shared memory are the type of routing selected and the degree of throughput to the various interfaces.

The standard configuration for shared DRAM is 4 MB for the Cisco 4000 series. This is sufficient for most configurations with fewer than 24 physical or virtual interfaces. For routers with 24 or more interfaces or B channels (for example, NP-9B, CT1, and CE1), upgrading to a minimum of 8 MB of shared memory is required.

Table 41 lists the minimum shared memory requirements for NPMs used in Cisco 4000, Cisco 4500, and Cisco 4700 series routers.

NP-1HSSI 1.0 MB
NP-2T16S 0.6MB
System Flash Memory

The Cisco 4000 series software images are stored and compressed in system Flash memory. Flash memory is more reliable than traditional diskette-resident system software and provides maximum availability and easy software upgrades and maintenance. The Cisco 4000 series routers are shipped with a default of 4 MB of system Flash memory. This is adequate for most Cisco IOS software feature sets and leaves room for future image growth. However, certain feature sets require 8 MB of system Flash memory. With Cisco IOS Release 11.2, for example, the 4500-M requires 8 MB of system Flash memory for the Enterprise feature Set.

Most of the Cisco 4000 series support 4, 8, and 16 MB of system Flash memory. You might need to order more system Flash memory than the minimum required to store multiple images for the Cisco 4000 series router itself, and to store images for other routers so that the Cisco 4000 series can be used as a TFTP server for other Cisco routers.

The following types of memory are also used in the Cisco 4000 series, but they are not critical components that drive the minimum memory requirements for the system.

System Boot Flash

The Cisco 4500, Cisco 4500-M, and Cisco 4700 store their boot images in the system Flash memory. The standard configuration of 4 MB is sufficient for use on these platforms. Currently no upgrades are offered.

Boot Helper Flash

The Cisco 4500, Cisco 4500-M, and Cisco 4700 store a small software image in the boot helper Flash, which is also called XBoot Flash memory. This memory is in the form of Flash SIMMs. The XBoot image is used to boot the Cisco IOS software across a network. You might need to boot across the network when there is no image in the system Flash or the image has been corrupted. The standard configuration of 4 MB is sufficient for use on these platforms. You only need to upgrade the XBoot image to the latest version when support for booting over a network is required using an unrecognized NPM. For example, if you have added a new NPM that was not available when your system was originally shipped, you need to upgrade the XBoot image. New XBoot images can be downloaded from Cisco Connection Online (CCO).

Boot EPROM

The boot image is stored in EPROM on the Cisco 4000 and Cisco 4000-M routers. This boot image is called RXBoot. The Cisco 4000 and Cisco 4000-M boot EPROMs are 2 MB. The boot EPROM provides the same functionality on the Cisco 4000 and Cisco 4000-M as the boot helper Flash provides on the Cisco 4500, Cisco 4500-M, Cisco 4700, and Cisco 4700-M. The boot helper Flash simplifies the process of upgrading software images. Rather than changing the EPROMs when you want to load a new image, you can simply download a new image, using TFTP, into the onboard Flash memory.

ROMMON

The ROMMON performs initialization tasks in the Cisco 4000 series. It performs power diagnostics and sets variables after checking memory sizes. After this is completed, the main image is booted (as a default) from system Boot Flash (for the Cisco 4500 and the Cisco 4700) and from the boot EPROM (for the Cisco 4000). If you have configured your system to boot from XBoot, ROMMON boots from the secondary image. You cannot configure the amount of ROMMON memory available.

Hardware Product Numbers

The Cisco 4000 series offers the hardware, memory, and NPM cable options listed in Table 42, and the power supply options listed in Table 43. 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 Cisco 4000 series 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.


Note For options that apply to most systems, refer to the "Cables and Transceivers" or "Power Cords" chapters later in the catalog.

For cable illustrations, refer to the "Specifications" and "ATM Cable Specifications" sections in the "Cables and Transceivers" chapter later in the catalog.

A console cable is not included as a standard feature. A standard 25-pin EIA/TIA-232 straight-through cable can be used for console port connections.

Software

The Cisco IOS software available for the Cisco 4000 series routers is described in the following sections:

Software Feature Sets

The Cisco 4000 series routers support the following software releases:


Note For all Cisco 4000 series routers, software must be ordered separately from the chassis. Traditional software packaging is no longer included in the base price of the system.

The Cisco 4000, Cisco 4500, and Cisco 4700 routers are no longer orderable, but Cisco IOS Releases 11.2, 11.1, and 11.0 are supported on these routers. The Cisco 4000, Cisco 4500, and Cisco 4700 routers have been replaced by the Cisco 4000-M, Cisco 4500-M, and Cisco 4700-M routers.

The Cisco 4000 series offers the following types of feature sets:


Note Cisco IOS images with 40-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) support may legally be distributed to any party eligible to receive Cisco IOS software. 40-bit DES is not a cryptographically strong solution, so its use should be carefully evaluated.

Cisco IOS images with 56-bit DES are possibly subject to export and/or import controls and may have a limited distribution. For more information, contact your sales representative or distributor, or visit CCO at http://www.cisco.com/wwl/export/encrypt.html , or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.

The Cisco IOS feature set tables use the following conventions to identify features:

Software Feature Packs

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. Table 44 lists the product numbers for feature sets and feature packs available in Cisco IOS Release 11.2. Software feature packs are only available for Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and later releases.

For more information about software feature packs, see the "Cisco IOS Feature Packs" section in the "Cisco IOS Software" chapter earlier in the catalog.


Note You can also order a Cisco IOS software feature pack for Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700-M models.

Software Product Numbers

Adding a feature set or feature pack might require you to purchase additional memory. Table 44 lists the software feature set and feature pack product numbers and minimum memory requirements for Cisco IOS Release 11.2.

The minimum memory requirements listed were chosen for typical branch and remote office applications. If your network is very large, using complex routing protocols, or using RMON, you might need more memory. Configuration analysis and testing are encouraged.
