Chapter 1 Introduction
Cisco 3230 Rugged Enclosure
Cisco 3270 Rugged ISR
The Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure is approximately double the size of the Cisco 3230 Rugged
Enclosure. The larger enclosure is needed to accommodate the Cisco 3270 MARC, which is longer than
the Cisco 3230 MARC and has greater port density, performance, fiber, and Gigabit Ethernet
capabilities.
This section provides an overview of the Cisco 3270 Rugged Enclosure. For more information about it,
see Cisco 3200 Series Router Hardware Reference.
