The Cisco® XR 12000 Series and Cisco 12000 Series routers compose a portfolio of intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5- to n x10 Gbps capacity per slot, enabling carrier-class IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks and accelerating the evolution to IP Next-Generation Networks. Built upon a foundation of investment protection, this portfolio delivers up to 1.28-terabits-per-second of switching capacity with wire-speed feature performance, scalability, and graceful hardware and software upgrade paths. These chassis have been enhanced with new cooling, fabric, and power components to support an increased number of modular interfaces for even greater service density and flexibility.

Cisco XR 12000 and 12000 Series Product Portfolio Overview

This portfolio of routers delivers capacity and services with its fully distributed forwarding architecture and high-efficiency crossbar switch fabric. The combination of a centralized scheduler and unique virtual-output-queuing (VOQ) technology is aimed at maximizing the use of the switch fabric bandwidth, minimizing latency, and providing non-blocking performance. Cisco uses the latest in high-performance application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology to provide line-rate forwarding with an extensive feature set, while maintaining the strict control of jitter and latency required for real-time services. Offering a comprehensive set of quality-of-service (QoS), IP/MPLS, and high-availability features, the Cisco XR 12000 Series and 12000 Series routers can help ensure maximum bandwidth usage and traffic differentiation while meeting even the strictest customer service-level agreements (SLAs).

The Cisco XR 12000 Series and 12000 Series routers use Cisco IOS ® XR Software and Cisco IOS Software, respectively, to deliver numerous service possibilities for network operators. With the addition of the Cisco XR 12000 Series to its high-end routing product lines, Cisco gives providers a graceful upgrade path for their installed base of Cisco 12000 Series routers as they transition toward a converged Cisco IP Next-Generation Network infrastructure. For a detailed list of feature support, software capabilities, compatibility, and release notes for Cisco IOS XR Software and Cisco IOS Software on these routers, visit: http://www.cisco.com/go/12000.

A detailed list of enhancements for the new routers is outlined in Table 1:

Table 1. Product Enhancements


Chassis Enhancements	Description	Benefits
New power supplies	New power entry modules (PEMs), power distribution units (PDUs), and power shelves for 16-, 10-, and 6-slot chassis	Increased chassis power budget to allow 100-percent slot fill of modular engines with non-redundant power configuration
New cooling systems	New fan trays for 16-, 10-, and 6-slot chassis	Increased cooling for modular engines when operating under Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS)/ETSI extended temperature range
New chassis product IDs with new cosmetics	New exterior bezels for 16-, 10-, 6-, and 4-slot chassis; chassis also includes new power supplies and cooling system	Modernized chassis appearance
New fabric cards	Enhanced fabric for 2.5, 10, and 40 Gbps per slot (all chassis form factors)	Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) and Single-Router Automatic Protection Switching (SR APS) enabled

Note: The 4-slot chassis does not require new power supplies or cooling systems.
