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:
-

The Cisco 8102-64H-O Router is a fixed port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router. There are 64 QSFP28 ports on the router, each supporting 100GbE. The Cisco 8102-64H-O 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-O Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. There are 32 QSFP-DD ports on the router, each supporting 400GbE. The Cisco 8101-32FH-O 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 8101-32H-O Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. There are 64 QSFP28 ports on the router, each supporting 100GbE. 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-O Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. There are 32 QSFP-DD ports on the router, each supporting 800GbE. This variant supports the Cisco-qualified open-source network operating system, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
-
Cisco 8122-64EH-O - It provides 51.2 Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8122-64EH-O Router is a fixed port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router. There are 64 QSFP-DD ports on the router, each supporting 800GbE. This variant supports the Cisco-qualified open-source network operating system, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
-
Cisco 8102-28FH-DPU-O - This is a first-generation smart switch equipped with the Cisco Silicon One Q200L switching processor and an AMD DSC-200 Data Processing Unit (DPU), all housed in a two-rack unit form factor. It offers a total network bandwidth of 12.8Tbps, which includes 11.2Tbps for switching and 1.6Tbps for DPU processing, and it contains 28 QSFP-DD 400 GbE ports.
The Cisco 8102-28FH-DPU-O supports Cisco-qualified open-source network operating systems, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
-
Cisco 8122-64EHF-O - It provides 51.2 Tbps of network bandwidth operating on the Cisco G200 network processor. The Cisco 8122-64EHF Router is a fixed port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router specifically designed for hyperscale data centers. There are 64 OSFP800 ports on the router, each supporting 800GbE. This variant supports Cisco-qualified open-source network operating systems, such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).
