Cisco 7200 Series

Enterprises and service providers can meet new services aggregation requirements
without expensive equipment upgrades or radical network redesigns by taking
advantage of the industry's most popular WAN and MAN aggregation platform.
As companies deploy more services in branch offices using Cisco Integrated
Services Routers, the role of the WAN aggregation router at the headend is being
redefined. With more than 350,000 installed Cisco 7200 Series routers, Cisco is
helping customers deploy new services and migrate to new WAN architectures
using their existing networks.
The Cisco 7200 Series—which includes Cisco 7200 VXR Series routers and the
1-RU form factor Cisco 7201—plays a key role in the Cisco Self-Defending Network
strategy by enabling:
• WAN and VPN aggregation: Scalable connectivity and IPsec encryption
• Data and identity protection: Perimeter defense, outbreak prevention,
and identity-based access control
• Business continuity: Network availability and uninterrupted services
Both the Cisco 7200 VXR Series and the Cisco 7201 deliver exceptional versatility
in a compact form factor, and are especially suitable for applications that require
Gigabit Ethernet and OC-3/STM-1 connectivity with services being deployed.
Offering processing speeds up to two million packets per second, three built-in
Gigabit Ethernet ports on the routing engine (four on the Cisco 7201), interfaces
ranging from NxDS0 to OC-3 POS and STM-1, and an unparalleled number of
high-touch IP services, the 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,
