Product Specifications: Hardware Components
Chassis
The Cisco 7201 Router is designed with a view to enhance operational efficiency. It incorporates a
1.7-GHz processor and includes four GE interfaces with four SFP optical interfaces, a single Cisco
7000 Series router port adapter slot, a 64-MB Compact Flash card, and auxiliary and console ports
in a compact (1RU) chassis. Table 2 gives specifications of the Cisco 7201 Router.

In order to ensure high system availability required for mission-critical applications, the Cisco 7201
also supports:
●
Physical alarm relay in case of device failure
●
Dual AC and dual DC power supplies
●
Online insertion and removal (OIR) of port adapters

shutdown
Connectivity
●
Gigabit Ethernet ports – Four GE ports are available on the Cisco 7201 (Figure 2). The first
two ports provide either RJ45 copper or SFP optical connectivity; the other two ports
provide only SFP optical connectivity because of space constraint. The first two ports can
also be configured as 10/100Mbps (Ethernet/FE) when RJ45 copper interface is used.
●
Gigabit Ethernet port features – All four ports support the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
●
The Cisco 7201 supports three types of SFP interfaces – SX, LX/LH, and ZX – for varying
fiber length requirements.
●
Console and auxiliary ports – The Cisco 7201 has a console port, and an auxiliary port on
the front end of the chassis.
●
Management of 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port – This Ethernet/FE port is strictly dedicated for
management purposes.
