The three models of the Cisco 7500 Series allow users to choose the exact configuration needed to optimize installations and network designs for cost and functionality.

KEY FEATURES

  • High-performance distributed switching – This feature delivers high performance for mission-critical applications by supporting high-speed media and high-density configurations. Using the processing capabilities of the Versatile Interface Processors (VIP) and distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dCEF), the Cisco 7500 Series router system capacity can exceed two million packets per second (pps).
  • Full support for Cisco IOS® Software and enhancements for high-performance, feature-rich IP network services – The Cisco 7500 Series router performs network services such as quality of service (QoS) at high speed. VIP technology extends the performance of these features through distributed IP services.
  • High port density and unmatched interface flexibility – The Cisco 7500 Series router provides high port density and an extensive range of LAN and WAN interfaces (port adapters). These features dramatically reduce the cost per port and allow for a flexible configuration.

High availability – Enhanced features and capabilities include redundant route processors and power supplies, software fault isolation, and failover capabilities.

Features and Benefits of Cisco 7301 Router

Performance Provides processing performance of nearly 1 million packets per second (mpps)
Compact form factor and low power consumption (75 watts)
• Uniquely positioned as one of the fastest 1RU routers in the industry today; customers can increase router performance where space is constrained
• “Rack and stack” capability, allowing customers to make better use of space in expensive ISP data centers
• Ideal for a dedicated security or QoS appliance at the edge of enterprise networks

Support of Cisco IOS Software
Supports a wide range of IP network services including QoS, MPLS, Layer 2 VPN, and IPv6 and all other Cisco IOS Software features depending on the release used, thereby enabling the use of multiple revenue-generating and productivity-increasing applications
3 fixed 10/100/1000-Mbps ports (RJ-45 or SFP optics) directly on the processor

• Increases LAN connectivity and performance without taking up slot capacity
• No need for high-speed LAN interfaces to share a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus with port adapters
512 MB (default) DRAM, upgradable to 1 GB
• More memory offers the following benefits:
• Supports routing tables with up to 1 million entries
• Supports increased routes and additional MPLS virtual route forwarding (VRF) instances
• Enables greater scalability for features such as NetFlow, Network Address Translation (NAT), and access control lists (ACLs)
• Makes the Cisco 7301 an ideal route reflector in a service provider network

Single Cisco 7000 Series port adapter slot

Increases investment protection and flexibility by allowing customers to use existing port adapters, this feature also simplifies sparing
