Description

 

 

 

POWER

Green

Indicates that all three fans are operating normally. If the power LED is off,

 

 

either the blower assembly is not powered on or a fault has been detected in

 

 

the blower assembly.

 

 

 

FAIL

Yellow

Remains off during normal operation. If the fault LED is on, one or more

 

 

fans has failed. This failure could be a complete shutdown of one or more

 

 

fans, or the blower assembly control card has detected that the speed of one

 

 

or more fans has exceeded tolerance levels.

 

 

 

If you detect a problem with the blower assembly LEDs, proceed to Chapter 5, “Hardware Troubleshooting.”

Starting the Cisco 7206

After installing your Cisco 7206 and connecting the cables, start each router as follows:

Step 1 Check for the following:

Each port adapter is inserted in its slot and its respective port adapter lever is in the locked position.

The network processing engine and the I/O controller are inserted in their slots and their captive installation screws are tightened.

All network interface cables are connected to the port adapters.

A Flash memory card is installed in its PCMCIA slot.

Each power cable is connected and secured with the cable-retention clip.

The console terminal is turned on.

AS5800 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking and telecommunications field, and its AS5800 series of routers exemplify this tradition. The AS5800, along with the AS5850, AS5350, AS5400, and AS5300, provides robust solutions for service providers and enterprise-level networking applications. Each of these models has distinct features and characteristics that cater to the evolving demands of internet traffic and data processing.

The Cisco AS5800 is designed for high-capacity routing and optimized for broadband services. It supports a wide range of services, including voice, data, and video applications, making it a versatile option for service providers looking to deliver integrated solutions. It is equipped with advanced quality of service (QoS) features that ensure bandwidth is allocated effectively, holding strong even under heavy traffic conditions.

In comparison, the AS5850 offers superior processing capabilities and is typically utilized in larger-scale implementations. This model supports high-density interfaces, allowing numerous connections without compromising performance. Its architecture includes enhanced MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support, enabling more efficient traffic management and better utilization of network resources.

The AS5350 is known for its scalability and energy efficiency, ideal for voice-over-IP (VoIP) and media gateway applications. It supports various telephony features, such as protocol interworking and transcoding, making it a preferred choice for organizations focusing on digital voice technologies. The AS5300, while slightly older, continues to be a valuable asset for less demanding networks, offering reliable performance with VoIP capabilities and basic data applications.

The AS5400 bridges the gap between high-performance routing and operational efficiency. It incorporates Cisco's proprietary technologies to ensure seamless connectivity and robust failover systems. This model is highly regarded for its security features, protecting network integrity and providing peace of mind for businesses relying on sensitive data transfer.

Overall, Cisco’s AS5800 series showcases a progressive evolution of routing capabilities with enhanced features tailored for resilience, scalability, and performance. These routers not only address the technical needs of modern networks but also strategically position organizations for future growth in an increasingly digital world. Each model, with its unique attributes, continues to support the varied demands of global communication infrastructures.
