Bandwidth Points Chart for Cisco 7200

Requirements Summary

This section provides a summary of bandwidth and bandwidth point requirements for each processing engine.

Port Adapter Jacket Card

PCI bus mb0 has a 600 point maximum. The Port Adapter Jacket Card accepts one port adapter which can use a maximum of 600 bandwidth points. PCI bus mb0 with a Port Adapter Jacket Card installed is designated as port adapter slot 5 in a Cisco 7204VXR router, or slot 7 in a Cisco 7206VXR router.

NPE-G1 or NPE-G2

•Left side, bus 1 (slots 1, 3, and 5) and I/O controller (slot 0) has a 600 point maximum.

•Right side, bus 2 (slots 2, 4, and 6) has a 600 point maximum.

•Distribute port adapter bandwidth points evenly across both left and right system slots (buses).

•Do not calculate bandwidth points for an I/O controller if an I/O controller is installed with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.

•The NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces do not use bandwidth points.

NPE-400, NPE-300, NSE-1
•Left side, bus 1 (slots 1, 3, and 5) and I/O controller (slot 0) has a 600 point maximum.

•Right side, bus 2 (slots 2, 4, and 6) has a 600 point maximum.

•Distribute port adapter bandwidth points evenly across both left and right system slots (buses).

1 Processor memory requirements are used when you determine port adapter installation guidelines for a Cisco 7200 series router. 2 Not applicable. 3 Bandwidth points for low-bandwidth port adapters are not required when you determine port adapter installation guidelines for a Cisco 7200 VXR router that has an NPE-400, NPE-300, or NSE-1 installed; that is, low bandwidth means 0 bandwidth points. 4 The PA-SRP-OC12 port adapters connect to both PCI buses; therefore, the total bandwidth points (300) are divided equally between the two buses. You must calculate the total bandwidth points by adding 150 bandwidth points to each bus. 5 When using only 1 port of the two ports available, the PA-2FE (TX) uses only 200 bandwidth points, and is an allowed usage. See also the “Messages for One Port Use of Specific Port Adapters and an I/O Controller” section for information on supported Cisco IOS releases and an error message. 6 For use only in Cisco 7206 or Cisco 7206VXR router shelves in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server. 7 The I/O controller with a Gigabit Ethernet port and an Ethernet port (C7200-I/O-GE+E) operates only in Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR chassis with the following network processing engines: NPE-400 and later network processing engines or the network services engine. 8 The I/O controller with two autosensing Fast Ethernet/Ethernet ports (C7200-I/O-2FE/E) operate only in Cisco 7204VXR and Cisco 7206VXR chassis and with the following network processing engines: NPE-225 and later network processing engines or the network services engine. 9 When using only 1 port of the two ports available, this I/O controller uses only 200 bandwidth points, and is an allowed usage. See also the “Messages for One Port Use of Specific Port Adapters and an I/O Controller” section for information on supported Cisco IOS releases and an error message. 10 The Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller (C7200-I/O-FE) does not operate in a Cisco 7202 router. 11 This port adapter is not supported in Cisco 7200 VXR routers. 12 See the Integrated Service Adapter and Integrated Service Module Installation and Configuration documentation for information on compatibility with the VPN Acceleration Module, as well as information on specific behaviors of these products when used with each other, and specific commands to use to enable or disable them 13 VPN Acceleration Module Installation and Configuration documentation for information on compatibility with Cisco ISA Service Adapter and Cisco ISM service adapter, as well as information on specific behaviors of these products when used with each other, and specific commands to use to enable or disable them. 14 For use with Cisco 7200 VXR routers only until release of Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)T.
