Chapter 1 Cisco 7200 VXR Product Overview
Field-Replaceable Units
The NPE-400 has three levels of cache: a primary and a secondary cache that are internal to the
microprocessor, and a tertiary 4-MB external cache that provides additional high-speed storage
for data and instructions.
The NPE-300 has three levels of cache: a primary and a secondary cache that are internal to the
microprocessor, and a tertiary 2-MB external cache that provides additional high-speed storage
for data and instructions.
The NPE-225 has two levels of cache: a primary cache that is internal to the processor and a
secondary 2-MB external cache that provides additional high-speed storage for data and
instructions.
The NPE-200 has unified cache SRAM that functions as the secondary cache for the
microprocessor. (The primary cache is within the microprocessor.)
The NPE-175 has two levels of cache: a primary cache that is internal to the processor and a
secondary 2-MB external cache that provides additional high-speed storage for data and
instructions.
The NPE-150 has unified cache SRAM that functions as the secondary cache for the
microprocessor. (The primary cache is within the microprocessor.)
The NPE-100 has unified cache SRAM that functions as the secondary cache for the
microprocessor. (The primary cache is within the microprocessor.)
Two environmental sensors for monitoring the cooling air as it leaves the chassis
Boot ROM for storing sufficient code for booting the Cisco IOS software; the NPE-G1, NSE-1,
NPE-400, NPE-300, NPE-225, NPE-200, and NPE-175 have boot ROM.
The network processing engines and network services engine perform the following system management
functions:
Sending and receiving routing protocol updates
Managing tables, caches, and buffers
Monitoring interface and environmental status
Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management through the console and
Telnet interface
Accounting for and switching of data traffic
Booting and reloading images
Managing port adapters (recognition and initialization during online insertion and removal)
