High-Performance Compact Services Router for WAN Edge with Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and Modular Flexibility
The Cisco 7201 Integrated Services Router (CISCO7201) is a compact, high-performance 1RU WAN edge router engineered for enterprise and service provider environments that require reliable routing, security, and scalability in a space-efficient form factor. Designed to support demanding WAN and edge deployments, the Cisco 7201 delivers robust throughput, modular flexibility, and enterprise-grade resiliency.
Equipped with four integrated Gigabit Ethernet combo ports (RJ-45/SFP) and a dedicated Cisco Port Adapter (PA) expansion slot, the Cisco 7201 supports a wide range of WAN technologies including T1/E1, serial, ATM, and POS, making it ideal for heterogeneous network environments. With forwarding performance of up to 2 million packets per second and 1.6 Gbps full-duplex throughput, the router easily handles high-speed IP routing, MPLS, and VPN workloads.
Running Cisco IOS Software, the 7201 supports IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack, advanced routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS, and comprehensive MPLS and Layer 3 VPN services. Integrated security features including IPsec VPN, GRE tunneling, NAT, stateful firewall, and zone-based firewall provide secure connectivity for enterprise WANs and managed service offerings.
Built for high availability, the Cisco 7201 features dual hot-swappable AC power supplies, a passive midplane architecture, and efficient side-to-side cooling. Its compact 1RU design makes it an excellent choice for WAN edge aggregation, metro Ethernet interconnects, secure VPN gateways, and managed service provider CPE deployments.
