Cisco 7206VXR Overview
The Cisco 7206VXR supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging
with a wide variety of protocols and port adapter combinations available for 7200
series routers. In addition, the Cisco 7206VXR midplane provides increased
support for multiple high-bandwidth port adapters.
Note The Cisco 7206VXR is also available as a router shelf in a
Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server. If your Cisco 7206VXR is
installed as a router shelf, use this publication in conjunction with
the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server publications that
shipped with the access server.
The Cisco 7206VXR has six slots (slot 1 through slot 6) for port adapters, one slot
for an input/output (I/O) controller, and one slot for a network processing engine
or network services engine. You can place the port adapters in any of the six
available slots.
The front of the Cisco 7206VXR provides access to the I/O controller and up to
six network interface port adapters. (See Figure 1-3.)
