Product Overview

Designed for Carrier Ethernet, IP/MPLS PE Edge in mid-size and smaller service provider and enterprise WAN applications, the Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services 20G (7600-ES20) supports up to 20 Gbps of bandwidth with 20 ports of Gigabit or 2 ports of 10G Ethernet interface models. The cards feature hierarchical QoS, locally significant VLANs, and up to 16K VLAN IDs per line card for rich services at scale. The 7600-ES20 line cards provide the unique ability to combine both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services on the same line card. The combination of native Ethernet Layer 2 switching, bridging, VPLS, Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS), and Layer 3 IP/MPLS routing distinguishes this line card among other products on the market, particularly in Carrier Ethernet applications.

The innovative architecture of these industry-leading, premium Ethernet services line cards is designed to deliver cost-effective high-touch features, combining both ASIC and Network Processor technology for an optimal combination of performance and flexibility. The 7600-ES20s provides distributed forwarding with proven ASIC technology in the forwarding path (routing, switching, Netflow, ACLs), as well as for queuing and shaping functions to provide the maximum performance for these foundational features. Additionally, two (2) programmable network processors are included in the forwarding plane to facilitate flexibility and feature growth. This ideal technology combination provides customers with the necessary flexibility for future service deployments and allows them to scale the system capacity as required.
