Cisco 7200 VXR is an ideal high-end access router for large office environments.

A key strength of the Cisco 7200 VXR Series is its modularity and flexibility.

It offers a selection of processors, an extensive range of LAN and WAN interfaces

with up to 48 ports per chassis, and single or dual power supplies, enabling customers

to customize their systems to achieve desired levels of performance, connectivity, and

capacity. With the Port Adapter Jacket Card, Cisco 7200 VXR series 4- and

6-slot chassis can be turned into a 5- and 7-slot chassis for selected high-speed WAN

port and security adapters. It is typically used for WAN and MAN services

aggregation, voice over IP, security, and various other IP applications due to its

exceptionally broad feature offerings.

As a 1-RU form factor of a Cisco 7200 VXR Series, the Cisco 7201 provides packet

forwarding speeds up to 2 Mpps. It also offers extensive port and service adapter

support. In comparison to the Cisco 7200 VXR Series with NPE-G2 engine, the

Cisco 7201 provides an additional fourth built-in Ethernet ports (10/100/1000) with

support for one port adapter. The Cisco 7201 also supports AC and DC power

supply with the option of dual DC power supply.

The Cisco 7201 is most attractive to customers looking for the functionality and

performance of Cisco 7200 VXR Series routers, but less concerned with port density

than a compact form factor and lower power consumption. Cisco 7301 continues to

be available for applications where performance above 1 Mpps is not required.

Benets and Advantages

Compact Form Factor

The Cisco 7200 VXR Series can support up to
seven port/service adapters when utilizing the
port adapter jacket card in its fully modular
3-RU form factor chassis Up to 16 chassis can
be supported in a 7’ rack The Cisco 7201 is the
most powerful 1-RU router solution in the industry
Exceptional Value
As the most powerful Cisco single-processor
platform, the Cisco 7200 VXR Series offers
customers a superior price/performance ratio
supporting high-speed media and high-density
configurations with up to 2 million packets per
second processing at a competitive price point

Simplified Network Convergence

The Cisco 7200 VXR Series’ Multiservice
Interchange (MIX)-enabled backplane allows for
integration of data, voice, and video in a single
WAN Edge device With the latest quality-of-
service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7200 VXR
Series enables enterprises to save money by
bypassing their carrier’s long distance charges

VPN Support

The dedicated VPN acceleration adapters
supported in Cisco 7200 VXR and 7201
routers enable an integrated solution for routing
and security including QoS, multicast, and
multiprotocol traffic across the VPN Utilizing
the VPN Acceleration Module (SA-VAM2+) or
VPN Services Adapter (C7200-VSA), the Cisco
7200 VXR series delivers up to 600 Mbps for
the most demanding head-end, site-to-site VPN
deployments Cisco 7200 VXR and 7201 routers
provide an integrated security solution which
includes IPSec, FW, and IDS features sets

Enhanced Security

Cisco 7200 VXR and Cisco 7201 routers help
ensure the highest levels of network security
All Cisco 7200 Series routers support integrated
SSL VPN, access control lists (ACLs), Network
Address Translation (NAT), full Netflow, firewall,
intrusion prevention systems, IP Service Level
Agreements (IP SLA), and a new category of
IPSec Virtual Private Network (GET VPN) that
eliminates the need for tunneling and enables
higher levels of scalability

Maximum ROI

A low price point makes the Cisco 7200 Series
very attractive, while allowing customers to
easily upgrade and redeploy their equipment as
network needs change

Connectivity/Flexibility

Providing high port density and an extensive
range of LAN and WAN media, plus the three
built-in GbE ports on the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2
engines, the Cisco 7200 Series dramatically
reduces the cost per port and allows for
flexible configurations to meet customers’
specific network needs

Feature-Rich

Full support for Cisco IOS Software and
enhancements for high-performance network
services enables the Cisco 7200 to offer
industry-leading network services including
MPLS, broadband aggregation, quality of service,
security, and voice services

Common Port Adapters

The Cisco 7200 VXR series shares the majority
of the port adapters with Cisco 7201, Cisco
7301, Cisco 7304, Cisco 7500 Series, and
Cisco 7600 Series routers, which simplifies
inventory management and increases investment
