Original Bulletin Information |
Product Bulletin No. 1218 |
Cisco announces the End-of-Sale for a number of 7200 bundles. The last day to order the affected products is listed in Table 2 below. Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Last Date of Support in Table 2 below which describes the End-of-Life milestones and dates for the affected product.
There are cases where the bundles involve products that have not reached End-of-Sale date, or have same or later End-of-Sale date. This is typical since bundles are created for various reasons.

PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS
The recommended replacement for NPEs above is NPE-G1. The Cisco 7200 NPE-G1 is the most recent addition to the Cisco 7200 Series processor family. The NPE-G1 addresses the demand for performance and flexibility by dramatically increasing processing capacity and enabling unprecedented LAN performance.
• Increases flexible processing to one million packets per second.
• Maximizes LAN performance with three onboard GE/FE ports.
• Doubles scalability by supporting up to 1 GB of DRAM.
• Reduces system cost by eliminating the requirement for an I/O controller.
• Maintains application flexibility and investment protection by supporting existing 7200 features at an unprecedented value.
