Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router Basics
Feature History
The Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers include a number of platforms and comprise a wealth of features that have been introduced since the product was released. This document describes how to configure and troubleshoot the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers on a system level. It does not describe hardware installation procedures, nor does it describe protocol and routing configurations.
Feature Overview
The Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers are a class of routers that perform Internet routing and switching at up to gigabit speeds. Meeting the exponential growth in demand for Internet bandwidth, these routers bring scalability and high-performance carrier-class services to IP-based networks.
Benefits
The Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers offer a wide range of benefits, including:
•
High-end routing for service provider backbone and edge applications, enabling service providers to meet the challenge of building packet networks to satisfy services demand while increasing profitability
•
•

4 The Cisco 12016 Internet Router can be upgraded to a Cisco 12416 Internet Router using a switch fabric upgrade kit.
5 The Cisco 12404 Internet Router contains a single board that performs the functionality of 3 SFCs and 1 CSC.
Supported Line Cards
Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers offer an extensive portfolio of line cards, including Packet over SONET (POS), channelized and digital signal, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet, and Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT). These line cards deliver high performance, guaranteed priority packet delivery, and service-transparent online insertion and removal (OIR).
Each of these line cards is distinguished by its underlying engine type. Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router line cards are designed to support high-speed packet forwarding performance in the core of an IP network. Engine 3 and Engine 4+ line cards are designed for edge applications and implement enhanced IP services (such as QoS) in hardware with no performance impact.
Available line cards for the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers as of November 2002 are listed in Table 1-2 through Table 1-7.
