Chapter 1 Overview
Product Description
• Downloadable software—Allows you to load new images into Flash memory remotely, without
having to physically access the router, for fast, reliable upgrades.
• Network management—Allows you to remotely manage the router. Cisco 7100 series VPN routers
support CiscoWorks and CiscoView network management software.
– CiscoWorks—Lets you monitor complex internetworks that use Cisco routing devices and
helps you plan, troubleshoot, and analyze your network. CiscoWorks uses the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor and control any SNMP device on the network.
– CiscoView—A graphical SNMP-based device management tool that provides powerful
real-time views of your networked Cisco devices. These views deliver a continuously updated
physical picture of device configuration and performance conditions, with simultaneous views
available for multiple device sessions. CiscoView runs from a centralized network management
site from which you can review, reconfigure, and monitor essential device data from a simple
GUI (that displays information such as dynamic status reports, performance statistics, and
network inquiries) without having to physically check connections for each device, module, or
port at every different or remote location.
• Integrated Service Module (ISM)—Provides Layer 3 encryption that supports IPSec encryption of
IP datagrams.
Figure 1-3 shows a Cisco 7120 series router from the back and Figure 1-4 shows a Cisco 7140 series
router. All interface connections and LEDs are located at the back of the router.
The Cisco 7100 series VPN routers have the following components:
• One fixed WAN port on the Cisco 7120 series—T1, T3, E3, or ATM (T3, E3, or OC-3c/STM1
single-mode intermediate reach).
• Two fixed WAN ports on the Cisco 7140 series—T3, E3, or ATM (T3, E3 OC-3c/STM1
multimode).
• Two fixed LAN ports—10BaseT/100BaseTX autosensing Ethernet/Fast Ethernet (full and half
duplex) equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.
• One modular port adapter slot—Supports one single-width port adapter.
• One service module slot—ISM provides encryption services.
• A Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS) Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) network
processor that supports VPN services at 50 Mbps in Cisco 7120 series routers and 90 Mbps in
Cisco 7140 series routers.
• One console port—Equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.
• One auxiliary port—Equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.
• 280W AC-input power—Cisco 7120 series routers are equipped with one power supply and
Cisco 7140 series routers are equipped with two power supplies for power load-sharing and
redundancy.
• Two PC Card slots—Flash Disk or Flash memory cards contain the default Cisco IOS software
image.
• LEDs—System ready, power, slot 0, slot 1, and LEDs for the fixed LAN and WAN ports.
• Up to 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) system memory with 64
MB of fixed SDRAM packet memory—Three dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) on the
network processor board.
