From MFG site: Features of Cisco NPE-G2
Feature
Description
Performance of up to 2 Million Packets per Second (pps) in Cisco Express Forwarding Switching • Doubles the performance compared to Cisco NPE-G1 • Dramatically increases the performance and scalability of the Cisco 7200VXR Series in WAN and MAN applications for both enterprises and service providers Modularity • Helps enable maximum investment protection through the ability to upgrade processors incrementally Backward Compatibility with Existing Port Adapters (with a few exceptions) • Provides investment protection through backward compatibility • Note: The following end-of-sale port adapters are not supported: · Cisco Fibre Channel over IP Port Adapter (PA-FC-1G; this port adapter is end-of-sale status as of December3,2004) · Cisco 1-Port OC-12, Dual-Width DPT Port Adapter (PA-SRP-OC12; this port adapter is end-of-sale status asof July 15, 2005) · Cisco VPN Acceleration Module (SA-VAM; this service adapter is end-of-sale status as of April 28, 2006) · Cisco VPN Acceleration Module 2 (SA-VAM2; this service adapter is end-of-sale status as of April 28, 2006) Three Fixed Gigabit Ethernet Ports (10/100/1000-Mbps Copper or Small Form-Factor Pluggable Optics [SFP]) • Maximizes LAN connectivity and performance without taking up bandwidth points or midplane capacity Built-in I/O Function (Compact Flash Memory, Console Port, Auxiliary Port, and Bootflash Memory) • Reduces costs (Note: An I/O controller can still be used. The Cisco NPE-G2 is supported with the Cisco 7200VXR Series I/O controllers with the following part numbers: C7200-I/O, C7200-I/O-2FE, and C7200-I/O-GE+E.) Support for Third Peripheral-Component-Interconnect (PCI) Bus to the I/O Controller Slot • Frees the current I/O controller ports from bandwidth allocation, allowing two PCI buses to be dedicated to the port adapter slots • Provides cost-effective way for a slot expansion by using port adapter jacket card • Provides a dedicated slot for the high-performance VPN services adapter Double the Speed of the PCI Bus on the I/O slot • Dramatically increases the performance of Cisco 7200VXR Series VPN Services Adapter (VSA) 1 GB of DRAM Default Memory
Delivers the most amount of memory by default compared to existing Cisco 7200VXR Series network processing engines, offering the following benefits:
• Supports more routes and routing tables • Supports more Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) virtual routing and forwarding instances (VRFs) • Supports more sessions for broadband aggregation • Helps enable higher scalability on features such as NetFlow, Network Address Translation (NAT), access control lists (ACLs), and more • Offers post-first customer shipment (FCS) support for optional upgrade to 2 GB DRAM Cisco IOS Software • Supports a wide range of IP and non-IP network services, including quality of service (QoS), MPLS, broadband aggregation, integrated security, encryption, voice, and more Dedicated Management for 10/100-Mbps Ethernet • Reduces costs and protects port density of the chassis Two USB Ports • Provides a large, removable storage for files • Stores security e-tokens for VPN applications Digital Diagnostics on SFP Interfaces • Provides a powerful tool that monitors many manageable parameters, including optical transmit and receive power, voltage and temperature measurement, and factory parameters Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) on Copper Interfaces • Provides an effective method of isolating fault at the remote end of the copper wire by monitoring reflected pulsedsignals
