Cisco 7206 Router Shelf

Rack-Mount Kit

A rack-mount kit is included with all Cisco 7206 routers when they are shipped from the factory. The kit provides the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19-in. equipment rack or a telco rack. The steps for installing a Cisco 7206 router in an equipment rack are explained in the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

A fully configured Cisco 7206, with two installed power supplies and all chassis slots filled, weighs approximately 50 lb (22.7 kg). For clearance requirements and rack-mount installation considerations, refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

Field-Replaceable Units

The Cisco 7206 router is easy to service; all its major components are FRUs. Instructions for removing and replacing individual FRUs are contained in separate documents, called configuration notes, which accompany every FRU shipped from the factory. The configuration notes are also available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on Cisco Connection Online (CCO).

The following Cisco 7206 components are FRUs:

Network processing engine

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the network processing engine are contained in Network Processing Engine Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3225-xx).

Input/Output controller

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the I/O controller are contained in Input/Output Controller Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3224-xx).

Port adapters

The Cisco 7206 is shipped from the factory with up to six installed port adapters that provide a variety of network media types (based on your order). The port adapters connect directly to the router’s midplane. Port adapters installed in the Cisco 7206 router support OIR.

Detailed instructions for removing, replacing, and configuring the port adapter types supported by the Cisco 7206 are contained in the configuration note for that port adapter. For example, if you plan to replace a four-port, half-duplex Token Ring port adapter in your Cisco 7206 router, refer to PA-4R Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration (Part Number 78-2661-xx).

For general instructions about how to remove and replace a port adapter, refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide (Document Number DOC-7206-ICG=).

Power supplies

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the Cisco 7206 power supplies are contained in 280-WattAC-Input Power Supply Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3227-xx) and 280-WattDC-Input Power Supply Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3420-xx).

Fan tray

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the fan tray are contained in Subchassis and Fan Tray Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3228-xx).

Subchassis (including the midplane)

Detailed instructions for removing and replacing the subchassis are contained in Subchassis and Fan Tray Replacement Instructions (Part Number 78-3228-xx).

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.
