Cisco 12000 Series - Gigabit Switch Routers

Cisco 12000 Series - Gigabit Switch Routers

Product Overview

The Internet is rapidly becoming an electronic agent for commerce, entertainment, communication, and information retrieval. New network-enabled intranet applications and powerful desktop computers are driving an exponential increase in network traffic. Service Providers and Enterprises are rapidly deploying packet switching infrastructures to handle this tremendous growth in data traffic.

The Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) 12000 series is Cisco"s premier routing product family designed and developed for the core of service provider and enterprise IP backbones. The GSR family includes two models - the Cisco 12008 and 12012.

The 12008 model provides a 40Gbps switch fabric and has eight slots that can be used to support interfaces ranging from DS3 to OC-48c/STM-16c. This model can support a maximum of 7 OC-48c/STM-16c interfaces for a total of 28Mpps switching capacity.

The 12012 model provides a 60Gbps switch fabric and has 12 slots that can be used to support interfaces ranging from DS3 to OC-48c/STM-16c. This model can support a maximum of 11 OC-48c/STM-16c POS interfaces for a total of 44Mpps switching.

The Cisco 12000 GSR products are used in the core of the largest IP backbones in the world today.

Key Features and Benefits

Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Router (GSR) Architecture

System Level

The GSR is based on a high speed distributed routing architecture combined with state-of-the-art switching core that delivers Layer 3 routing at gigabit speeds.

The GSR is optimized for performing routing and packet forwarding functions to transport IP datagrams across a network. The routing function is performed in the Gigabit Route Processors (GRP) responsible for running the routing protocols and building the routing tables from the network topology. This information is then used to build the forwarding tables distributed to the line cards. In addition, the GRP is also responsible for the system control and administrative functions.

It provides the following key functions:

It provides the following key functions:

Packet over SONET/SDH (POS)

POS interfaces on the GSR enable connections to other GSR 12000 or other Cisco routers, such as Cisco 7500 or 7200 via optical interfaces. These interfaces can be circuits provisioned over a SONET/SDH infrastructure or dark fibers (native fiber links) connections or wavelengths of Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems. The GSR offers the following POS interfaces:

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

ATM interfaces on the GSR enable connections to other GSR 12000 or other Cisco routers, such as Cisco 7500 or 7200 via ATM networks. The GSR offers the following ATM interfaces:

Ethernet

Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces on the GSR enable connections to other GSR 12000 or other Cisco routers, such as Cisco 7500 or 7200 via fiber optic links. The GSR offers the following Gigabit Ethernet interfaces:

Line Card and GRP Memory Options

There are two configurable memory types on the GRP:

  • Flash (PCMCIA)

  • DRAM used to hold system software, routing tables, and other data

Default GRP memory is 20 MB PCMCIA flash, and 64 MB DRAM, expandable to 256 MB

There are two configurable memory types on each of the Cisco 12000 line cards:

  • Packet memory (buffers)

  • Route table memory

Default route table memory is 32 MB and is expandable to 256 MB. Default packet memory can be expanded to 128 MB

(64 MB Tx, 64 MB Rx).

For more information on Cisco 12000 line card and memory options, see

- Options for Cisco 12000: Line Cards/Memory

Software

The system software is based on IOS Version 11.2 or IOS Version 12.0(T), but it has been optimized to support IP only. A software license is required for each Cisco 12000 series system. The license must accompany each system and chassis purchase, and is tied to the Cisco 12000 chassis serial number. If you are ordering only GSR spares, you need not order a software license.

Configuration Guidelines

This section provides helpful information for planning your Cisco 12000 and chassis configuration. The Cisco 12008 supports eight slots and the Cisco 12012 supports 12 slots. Either one or two of the slots are used for gigabit route processors, depending upon whether redundancy is required. In the Cisco 12012, 11 slots are available for a variety of fully hot-swappable line cards. Seven such slots are available in the Cisco 12008.

Cisco 12000 Series chassis slots are universal and can be populated with any combination of GRPs and line cards. The following table shows one possible configuration.

At the heart of the GSR is a multigigabit crossbar switching fabric that provides synchronized gigabit-speed interconnections for all of the other cards in the system. The switching fabric for the Cisco 12012 and 12008 consists of up to four switching cards, supplemented by a fifth card that provides 1:4 or 1:1 redundancy. The switching cards for the Cisco 12008 and 12012 are not interchangeable. The following table shows the valid configuration for the switching fabric.

The switch fabric for the 12008 and 12012 consists of two different type of assemblies: the Clock/Scheduler Controller (CSC) and the Switch Fabric (SFC). As the name implies, the CSC contains the switch fabric, but also includes the system clock and fabric scheduler. The SFC contains the switch fabric only. The CSC and SFC assemblies are unique to each chassis type and are therefore, not interchangeable.
