Cisco 7301 Router

The Cisco 7301 delivers a full suite of Cisco IOS Software services for managing network security, allocating quality of service (QoS) among applications and users, and providing value-added services such as NetFlow accounting and encryption. QoS applications such as Committed Access Rate, Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) can be flexibly applied to provide precedence across IP addresses, applications, and specific users with a high level of granularity.

With its combination of scalable performance, compact architecture, high density, and low price per port, the Cisco 7301 is ideally suited for a variety of crucial applications in both the service provider and enterprise markets.

Service Provider Applications

The Cisco 7301 is designed for five principal application areas within a service provider network:

• Broadband aggregation: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) termination and aggregation (PTA) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) access concentrator (LAC), or L2TP network server (LNS) and tunnel switching (LTS) aggregation router capable of handling up to 16,000 simultaneous sessions and enabling a pay-as-you-grow “rack and stack” architecture
• IP Version 6 (IPv6) gateway: Linking between an IPv4 network and an IPv6 network, including IPv6 VPN architectures
• Managed services: High-end customer premises equipment (CPE) or Multiprotocol Label Switching customer edge (MPLS-CE) devices, due to its high-performance, feature-rich support with both Gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity and WAN port adapter connectivity
• High-availability design: 100 percent redundancy through the use of two CPE devices configured for Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) or Layer 3 load balancing
• Cost-effective route reflector: Ideally suited as a low-cost route reflector with its capability to hold 1 million routes with its maximum of 1 GB memory installed
Enterprise Applications
The Cisco 7301 is designed for these principal enterprise application areas:
• Secure Internet gateway: Support for features such as IP Security (IPsec) Protocol and stateful firewall at very high speeds, making it an ideal Internet gateway (security) appliance
• Large-branch-office router: High-performance branch-office router with support for up to OC-3/STM-1 or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Network-appliance router: Support for CiscoWorks QoS Policy Manager and other management tools, making it an ideal QoS appliance at the edge of enterprise networks
• By enabling the multifunction capabilities of the Cisco 7301, customers can simplify their network architectures, significantly reduce initial equipment costs, and increase revenue opportunities through value-added services.
