Release 7.3.15Cisco 8201-32FH Router
The Cisco 8200 Series Routers utilizes Cisco’s new Router-on-Chip (RoC) model to deliver full routing
functionality with a single ASIC per router. The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC)
switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced
programmability.
The Cisco 8200 series routers presently comprises:
• Cisco 8201 Router – It provides 10.8 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power
consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8201 Router is a fixed port, high density,
one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 24x 400G QSFP-DD and 12x 100G QSFP28.
For more details on ports and supported breakout options, see "Interfaces and Port Description, on page
56".
• Cisco 8202 Router – It provides 10.8 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power
consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8202 Router is a fixed port, high density,
two rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 12x400 GbE QSFP-DD and 60x100 GbE
QSFP28. For more details on ports and supported breakout options, see "Interfaces and Port Description,
on page 56".
• Cisco 8201-32FH Router - It provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8201-32FH Router
is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 400G
QSFP-DD. The Cisco 8201-32FH Router comes in the HBM/2.5D without MACsec variant(s).
• 8202-32FH-M - It provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8202-32FH-M Router is a fixed
port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 400G QSFP-DD. The
Cisco 8202-32FH-M Router comes with HBM/2.5D and MACsec, and supports ZR/ZRP optical modules
on all the ports.
• 8202-32FH-MO - It provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8202-32FH-MO Router is a
fixed port, high density, two rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 400G QSFP-DD.
The Cisco 8202-32FH-MO Router comes with HBM/2.5D and MACsec, and supports ZR/ZRP optical
modules on all the ports. This variant supports the Cisco-qualified open-source network operating system,
such as SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud). The functionality and installation of this
router is similar to that of Cisco 8202-32FH-M.
• Cisco 8201-24H8FH Router - It provides 5.6Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8201-24H8FH
Router is a fixed port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. This router supports 24 QSFP28
100 GbE ports and 8 QSFP-DD 400 GbE ports. The Cisco 8201-24H8FH Router comes in the HBM/2.5D
without MACsec variant(s).
