Chapter 1 Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements Based on the NPE or NSE Installed
Sample Bandwidth Configuration for the NPE-225, NPE-200, NPE-175, and NPE-150
The following sample configurations are for a Cisco 7200 series router with an I/O controller and
NPE-225 installed. The maximum points allowed is 800 points per chassis.
The sample configuration in Table 1-4 follows the rule of keeping below the 800 maximum bandwidth
points, and having no more than three high-bandwidth port adapters, and having no more than five high-
and medium-bandwidth port adapters in a chassis with an NPE-225. All three rules must be followed for
a configuration to be valid. The I/O controller is considered a port adapter in point calculation.
The configuration in Table 1-5 is invalid because, although the bandwidth points are less than 800, there
are four high-bandwidth port adapters installed, not three high-bandwidth port adapters as the rules
allow. All three rules (no more than 800 bandwidth points, no more than three high-bandwidth port
adapters, and no more than five high- and medium-bandwidth port adapters in a chassis with an
NPE-225) must be followed for the configuration to be valid. The I/O controller is considered a port
adapter in point calculation.
