Cisco 8600 Series Routers
Cisco 8608
The Cisco 8608 is a Q200-based, 7-RU router that provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth and supports
centralized architecture. The centralized architecture combines the best aspects of distributed and fixed systems.
Cisco 8608 has combined the redundancy and I/O diversity of distributed systems with the economics and
simple elegance of fixed platforms. As a result, Cisco 8608 delivers redundancy at an optimized cost while
enabling flexibility and expandability through generational continuity.
The front of the chassis has the following:
• Route Processors (RP) Cards- Two RP cards that contain the CPU complex for managing the system.
• Modular Port Adapters (MPAs) - Eight pluggable MPAs.
