Service provider-class metro edge services router
1-50
• Optimized building block for the next generation metro Ethernet/IP access networks
• Equipped with either (24) 10/100 or 4 GbE and 8 FE ports for customer access and
OC-48c/STM-16c dynamic packet transport/resilient packet ring (DPT/RPR) technology for
metro optical connectivity
• Powered by Cisco IOS 12.0S software and the parallel express forwarding (PXF) architecture
• Cost-effective, reliable, high-performance platform supporting full suite of IP/MPLS features
and services found in Cisco Internet Routers
• With DPT/RPR architecture, enables optimal fiber connectivity as well as features such as IP
class of service, VoIP, L2 VPN (EoMPLS and L2TPv3) and L3 VPN (MPLS) services
Premier high-end routing portfolio for service provider backbone and high-speed edge 1-52
applications. With its unique, modular distributed system architecture, the Cisco 12000 Series
Internet Router, is the industry choice for building Carrier IP/MPLS networks with its portfolio
of 10Gbps systems and interfaces:
• Seven chassis options that fit your scaling and real estate requirements offering the only
complete solution for small to large POPs; backbone or edge.
• The only platforms supporting backbone—or edge-optimized line cards in the same chassis,
maximize the value of line-rate edge applications with 10G uplinks, and sustained line-rate
performance as they scale to maximum capacity.
• Proven investment protection with simple, field upgrades to higher switching capacities.
• The only complete priority packet delivery solution set—the industry’s only IP QoS
implementation that uniquely enables premium real time IP services such as VoIP and video.
• Extensive portfolio of line cards offering leading edge technologies (POS, ATM, DPT/RPR,
GbE/FE), support a wide range of networking speeds (from DS1 to OC-192c/STM-64c).
• The industry’s only high-end router proven (via independent lab testing) to maintain customer
connections and network traffic with zero packet loss despite a route processor failure.
Enables direct access to storage systems anywhere on an IP network. Enables SCSI over IP 1-56
(iSCSI); the first storage implementation based on IP standards.
• Cisco SN 5428: Migrates DAS (Direct Attached Storage) environments to SAN (Storage Area
Networks) for small / medium businesses and enterprise workgroups. This is a full function
Fibre Channel switch that adds iSCSI, providing very low price per port networked storage
configurations.
