Safety Guidelines

Before you begin the unpacking procedure, review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.

In addition, review the safety warnings listed in the document Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12000 series Internet Router (Document Number 78-4347-xx) that accompanied your Cisco 12012 GSR before installing, configuring, or maintaining the router.

Caution Do not attempt to lift the fully assembled Cisco 12012 GSR from the pallet. A fully configured Cisco 12012 GSR with two DC-input power supplies installed in the power supply bay weighs 334 lb (151.5 kg).

When lifting the Cisco 12012 GSR components, follow these precautions to avoid injury to yourself and/or damage to the equipment:

Two people are required to lift the Cisco 12012 GSR frame or the empty Cisco 12012 GSR card cage assembly.

Keep your back straight; lift with your legs.

Always remove all components before lifting the frame. The empty frame weighs 75 lb (34 kg).

Always remove all cards and power supplies before lifting the card cage assembly. An empty card cage assembly weighs 65 lb (29.5 kg).

Use a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift to move the system to another location.

The Cisco 12012 GSR shipping container is 25-inches (63.5 cm) wide, 38-inches (96.5 cm) long, and 72-inches (182.9 cm) high. Note the dimensions of the shipping container before moving it to ensure you have adequate clearance through doors and passages.

Note Do not destroy the wooden and cardboard shipping containers. Store them with the pallet. Use these containers to either transport the system, or, if necessary, return it to the factory.

Cisco 12012 GSR system packaging is orderable as a field replaceable unit; order Product Number PKG-GSR12=

Removing the Wooden Shipping Container

The wooden shipping container consists of two side panels, two end panels, and a wooden top cap. Bendable metal tabs and slots secure the shipping container pieces together.

Note Retain the shipping container components for future use.

Caution The metal edges of the wooden side panels, wooden cap, and the pallet can be sharp. Use caution when working around and handling the packaging pieces.

Cisco 12012 specifications

The Cisco 12012 is a high-performance router designed primarily for service providers and large enterprises, playing a pivotal role in handling massive amounts of data traffic efficiently. This robust device is part of the Cisco 12000 Series, which is known for its scalability, reliability, and advanced features tailored for high-capacity internet backbone routing.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 12012 is its capacity to support multiple high-speed interfaces, allowing for flexible network design and expansion. The router is equipped with high-density line card slots that enable users to plug in various types of interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and even newer technologies as they become available. This modularity means that organizations can tailor their network to meet specific needs without having to replace the entire router, thereby ensuring a longer lifespan and maximizing investment.

Another significant characteristic of the Cisco 12012 is its use of the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS), which is known for its robustness and feature-rich capabilities. IOS supports advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, allowing for intelligent routing and load balancing across varied network paths. This is crucial for service providers who must maintain high availability and performance for their customers.

The Cisco 12012 also incorporates cutting-edge technologies like Quality of Service (QoS) and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support. QoS ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, while less critical traffic can be deprioritized, optimizing overall network performance. Dual-stack support is essential as organizations transition to IPv6, ensuring compatibility with both addressing schemes.

Scalability is a core characteristic of the Cisco 12012, supporting a high throughput with a backplane capacity that can handle up to 400 Gbps. This extensive capability allows service providers to accommodate growing data demands without compromising speed or reliability.

In conclusion, the Cisco 12012 router is an exemplary choice for organizations looking to enhance their networking infrastructure. With its high-performance features, flexibility, and advanced technologies, the Cisco 12012 has established itself as a reliable solution for high-capacity, mission-critical environments in an ever-evolving digital landscape. As organizations continue to expand their network capabilities, the Cisco 12012 remains a strong candidate that meets both current and future networking needs.
