Product Overview
Increasingly, business applications and services affect aggregation requirements and router-integrated services across the WAN and metropolitan-area network (MAN)—in both branch offices and headquarters. Consequently, to continue to meet the increasing needs of flexibility, capacity, and performance and maintain exceptional value and flexibility, Cisco introduces the Cisco® 7200VXR Series Port Adapter Jacket Card (Figure 1). The jacket card addresses the demand for additional slot density and flexibility by enabling the I/O slot to hold a single port adapter for additional capacity on systems with the Cisco 7200VXR Series NPE-G1 Network Processing Engine and later. Benefits of the jacket card include the following (refer to Table 1 for details):
● Provides one additional slot for single port adapter (selected port adapter)
● Allows a high-bandwidth port adapter—such as the hardware-based Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2+ with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) wide key cryptography card (part number SA-VAM2+) and the Cisco 2-Port Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) OC‑3c/STM-1 Port Adapter (PA-POS-2OC3)—to be moved onto a dedicated Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus that the Cisco 7200VXR Series NPE-G1 or NPE‑G2 provides
● Reduces PCI contention among other port adapters
● Provides a cost-effective way to increase the slot density in parallel to the increased switching capacity of the newest engine of the platform—the Cisco NPE-G2
Table 1. Features and Benefits Overview
Features |
Benefits |
Additional port and slot density |
Increases the slot capacity of the chassis by 1 slot for single additional port adapter |
Dedicated PCI bus |
Allows a high-bandwidth port adapter to be moved into the I/O slot, saving up to 3 port adapter slots |
Port adapter support |
Supports high bandwidth point port and service adapters: Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2 (SA-VAM2), Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2+ with AES wide key cryptography card (SA-VAM2+), Cisco 1- and 2-Port Packet/SONET [[should that be POS as before?]] OC-3c/STM-1 Port Adapters (PA-POS-1OC3 and PA-POS-2OC3, respectively), Cisco 2-Port T3 Serial Port Adapter Enhanced (PA-MC-2T3+), Cisco 8-Port Multichannel Port Adapter (PA-MC-8TE1+), Cisco 2-Port TX and FX Fast Ethernet Port Adapters (PA-2FE-TX and PA-2FE-FX, respectively), Cisco 1- and 2-Port Enhanced Multichannel T3 Port Adapters (PA-MC-T3-EC and PA-MC-2T3-EC, respectively), Cisco 1- and 2-Port Enhanced Clear Channel T3 and E3 Port Adapters (PA-T3/E3-EC and PA-2T3/E3-EC, respectively), Cisco 1-Port Multichannel STM-1 Multi- and Single-Mode Port Adapters (PA-MC-STM-1MM and PA-MC-STM-1SMI, respectively), and Cisco 7000 PA-A6 Series Enhanced ATM Port Adapters (PA-A3 and PA-A6). |
LED indicators |
Indicates (through “Pwr” LED) whether the jacket card is powered up; “Enabled” LED indicates whether it is discovered by the system and indicates its readiness |
Online insertion and removal (OIR) |
Allows the port adapter to be removed or inserted into the jacket card without rebooting the router; the jacket card, on the other hand, should not be removed unless the system is powered down |
Product Highlights
Supported Network Processing Engines
The Cisco 7200VXR Series Port Adapter Jacket Card is supported with the following network processing engines:
● Cisco 7200VXR Series NPE-G1
● Cisco 7200VXR Series NPE-G2
Note: An I/O controller card is required on systems with the Cisco NPE-400 and earlier. Therefore, the I/O controller slot is occupied and the port adapter jacket card cannot be inserted because it comes in I/O slot format.
Supported Port Adapters
The Cisco 7200VXR Series Port Adapter Jacket Card supports the following port adapters:
● Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2 (SA-VAM2): Supported only in combination with Cisco 7200VXR Series NPE-G1
● Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2+ with AES wide key cryptography card (SA-VAM2+)
● Cisco 1-Port POS OC-3c/STM-1 Port Adapter (PA-POS-1OC3)
● Cisco 2-Port POS OC-3c/STM-1 Port Adapter (PA-POS-2OC3)
● Cisco 8-Port Enhanced Multichannel Port Adapter (PA-MC-8TE1+)
● Cisco 2-Port T3 Serial Port Adapter Enhanced (PA-MC-2T3+)
● Cisco 2-Port Fast Ethernet TX Port Adapter (PA-2FE-TX)
● Cisco 2-Port Fast Ethernet FX Port Adapter (PA-2FE-FX)
● Cisco 1-Port Enhanced Multichannel T3 Port Adapter (PA-MC-T3-EC)
● Cisco 2-Port Enhanced Multichannel T3 Port Adapter (PA-MC-2T3-EC)
● Cisco 1-Port Enhanced Clear Channel T3/E3 Port Adapter (PA-T3/E3-EC)
● Cisco 2-Port Enhanced Clear Channel T3/E3 Port Adapter (PA-2T3/E3-EC)
● Cisco 1-Port Multichannel STM-1Multi- and Single-Mode Port Adapters (PA-MC-STM-1MM and PA-MC-STM-1SMI, respectively)
● Cisco 1-Port ATM Port Adapters (PA-A3-T3, PA-A3-E3, PA-A3-OC3MM, PA-A3-OC3SMI, PA-A3-OC3SML, PA-A6-T3, PA-A6-E3, PA-A6-OC3MM, PA-A6-OC3SMI, and PA‑A6‑OC3SML)
Note: The Cisco Mix-Enabled T1/E1 Port Adapters for the Cisco 7200VXR Series Routers are not compatible with the Port Adapter Jacket Card.
