Note The PA-POS-1OC3 is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter. Traffic from multiple PA-POS-1OC3 network interfaces could theoretically exceed the bandwidth of the CxBus or CyBus. This would cause packets to be dropped.

Cisco 7200 VXR Routers

Cisco 7200 VXR routers have certain data-carrying capacity (or bandwidth) restrictions that affect the number of high-bandwidth, medium-bandwidth, and low-bandwidth port adapters you can install. Refer to the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines for more information on port adapter installation restrictions.

The PA-POS-1OC3 is supported on Cisco 7200 VXR routers with network processing services engine NSE-1, and network processing engines NPE-400 and forward.

For all systems in which you install the PA-POS-1OC3, use the show version command to display the current configuration of the router or switch, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. Use the show diag slot command to view specific information about the hardware installed in your system.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises.
