To continue to meet the increasing needs for performance while maintaining exceptional value and flexibility, the Cisco 7200 Series introduces its newest processor - the NPE-G1. The Cisco 7200 Series Network Processing Engine NPE-G1 (NPE-G1) addresses the demand for performance and flexibility by doubling its processing capacity and enabling unprecedented LAN performance.

The NPE-G1 is supported on the Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR chassis

• 110 V AC
• 220 V AC

• 3 x RJ-45 10/100/1000Base-T LAN
• 1 x RJ-45 Console Management
• 1 x RJ-45 Auxiliary Management

• Item Included:
• Two 128MB mem modules (256MB total) for NPE-G1 in 7200 (MEM-NPE-G1-256MB)
• Cisco 7200 Compact Flash Disk for NPE-G1, 64 MB Option (MEM-NPE-G1-FLD64)
• Provides performance of up to 1 million packets per second (PPS) in Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switching (an increase of up to 250 percent over the Cisco 7200 Series Network Processing Engine NPE-400)
• Offers three Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports that do not take up bandwidth points
• Doubles the amount of available DRAM (to 1 GB)
• Eliminates the requirement for an input/output (I/O) controller
• Incorporates the functionality (flash memory and auxiliary and console ports) of the I/O controller
• Eliminates I/O controller LAN interface bandwidth points
• Provides modular processors and the ability to upgrade
• Offers improved price performance
• Two environmental sensors for monitoring the cooling air as it enters and leaves the chassis
• Full-feature I/O controller functionality
• Only one port per interface can be used at any one time. For example, for interface Gigabit Ethernet 0/1, either the RJ-45 port can be used or the GBIC port, but not both
• A total of three ports on any of the three interfaces (0/1, 0/2, or 0/3) can be used at any one time; for example, 0/1 GBIC, 0/2 GBIC, and 0/3 RJ-45
• There are two DRAM memory slots, so 256 MB of memory consists of two 128 MB memory SODIMMs, 512 MB consists of two 256 MB memory SODIMMs, and 1 GB consists of two 512 MB memory SODIMMs. It is necessary to have the same size SODIMM in each memory bank on an NPE-G1
• Cisco 7200VXR chassis with an NPE-G1 does not require the use of an I/O controller, an I/O controller can still be used
• The NPE-G1 is supported with the following Cisco 7200 Series I/O controller part numbers:
• C7200-I/O
• C7200-I/O-2FE/E
• C7200-I/O-GE+E
• The NPE-G1 is supported with all port adapters that can be ordered with the Cisco 7200VXR chassis as of August 1, 2002 except for the following:
• PA-4C-E
• PA-A2-4T1C-OC3SM
• PA-A2-4T1C-T3ATM
• PA-A2-4E1XC-OC3SM
• PA-A2-4E1XC-E3ATM
• PA-MCX-2TE1
• PA-MCX-4TE1
• PA-MCX-8TE1
• PA-SRP-OC12MM
• PA-SRP-OC12SMI
• PA-SRP-OC12SML
• PA-SRP-OC12SMX
• PA-MC-STM-1MM
• PA-VXA-1TE1-24+
