The 7206 VXR NPE-400 Router

Cisco 7200 VXR routers accommodate a variety of network interface port adapters and an I/O controller. A Cisco 7200 VXR router equipped with an NPE-400 can support up to six high-speed port adapters and can also support higher-speed port adapter interfaces including Gigabit Ethernet and OC-12 ATM.

Cisco 7200 VXR routers also contain bays for up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies.

Cisco 7200 VXR routers support the following features:

•Online insertion and removal (OIR)—Add, replace, or remove port adapters without interrupting the system.

•Dual hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies—Provide system power redundancy; if one power supply or power source fails, the other power supply maintains system power without interruption. Also, when one power supply is powered off and removed from the router, the second power supply immediately takes over the router power requirements without interrupting normal operation of the router.

•Environmental monitoring and reporting functions—Maintain normal system operation by resolving adverse environmental conditions prior to loss of operation.

•Downloadable software—Load new images into Flash memory remotely, without having to physically access the router.

The 7206 VXR NPE-400 Cryptographic Module

Cisco 7206 VXR routers support multiprotocol routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and port adapter combinations available for Cisco 7200 series routers. The metal casing that fully encloses the module establishes the cryptographic boundary for the router. All the functionality discussed in this document is provided by components within the casing. Cisco 7206 VXR routers have six slots for port adapters, one slot for an input/output (I/O) controller, and one slot for a network processing engine or network services engine.
