Chapter 1 Cisco 7200 VXR Product Overview
Field-Replaceable Units
The NPE-200 has an R5000 microprocessor that operates at an internal clock speed of
200 MHz.
The NPE-175 has an RM5270 microprocessor that operates at an internal clock speed of
200 MHz.
The NPE-100 and NPE-150 have an R4700 microprocessor that operates at an internal clock
speed of 150 MHz.
System controller
The NPE-G2 has one system controller that provides processoraccess to the three midplane PCI
buses, and also holds the system memory and environmental monitoring functions.
The NPE-G1 BCM 1250 maintains and executes the system management functions for the
Cisco 7200 VXR routers and also holds the system memory and environmental monitoring
functions.
The NSE-1 has one system controller that provides processor access to the midplane and single
I/O controller PCI buses. The system controller also allows port adapters on either of the two
midplane PCI buses to access SDRAM.
The NPE-400 has one system controller that provides system access.
The NPE-300 has two system controllers that provide processor access to the two midplane and
single I/O controller PCI buses. The system controller also allows port adapters on either of the
two midplane PCI buses to access SDRAM.
The NPE-175 and NPE-225 have one system controller that provides processor access to the
two midplane and single I/O controller PCI buses. The system controller also allows the
port adapters on either of the two midplane PCI buses to access SDRAM.
The NPE-100, NPE-150, and NPE-200 have a system controller that uses direct memory access
(DMA) to transfer data between DRAM and packet SRAM on the network processing engine.
Upgradable memory modules
The NPE-G2 uses SDRAM for storing all packets received or sent from network interfaces, The
SDRAM also stores routing tables and network accounting applications. A single SDRAM
memory array in the system allows concurrent access by port adapters and the processor.
The NPE-G1 uses SDRAM for storing all packets received or sent from network interfaces. The
SDRAM also stores routing tables and network accounting applications. Two independent
SDRAM memory arrays in the system allow concurrent access by port adapters and the
processor.
The NSE-1 uses SDRAM for providing code, data, and packet storage.
The NPE-400 usesSDRAM for storingall packets received or sent fromnetwork interfaces. The
SDRAM memory array in the system allows concurrent access by port adapters and the
processor.
The NPE-300 usesSDRAM for storingall packets received or sent fromnetwork interfaces. The
SDRAM also stores routing tables and network accounting applications. Two independent
SDRAM memory arrays in the system allow concurrent access by port adapters and the
processor.
The NPE-175 and NPE-225 use SDRAM for providing code, data, and packet storage.
