Cisco 8100 Series Routers
The Cisco 8100 Series Routers utilizes Cisco’s new Router-on-Chip (RoC) model to deliver full routing functionality with a single ASIC per router. The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC) switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced programmability.
The Cisco 8100 series routers include the following variants:
-
Cisco 8102-64H-O - It provides 6.4 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8102 Router is a fixed port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 64 x 100G QSFP28. The Cisco 8102-64H-O supports supports Cisco-qualified open-source network operating systems, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
-
Cisco 8101-32FH-O - It provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8101-32FH Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 400G QSFP-DD. The Cisco 8101-32FH-O supports supports Cisco-qualified open-source network operating systems, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud). The functionality and installation of this router is similar to that of Cisco 8201-32FH. The Hardware Installation Guide for Cisco 8201-32FH is available here.
-
Cisco 8101-32H-O - It provides 3.2 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8101 Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 100G QSFP28. This variant supports the Cisco-qualified open-source network operating system, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
-
Cisco 8111-32EH-O - It provides 25.6Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8111-32EH Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 800G QSFP-DD. This variant supports the Cisco-qualified open-source network operating system, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
