The Cisco 7301 Series Router is a compact, high-performance single-rack-unit (1-RU)
router coupled with a broad set of interfaces and Cisco IOS Software features, which
makes it ideal for both service providers and enterprise applications.
Cisco 7301 Series is based on the Cisco 7200 NPE-G1 engine. The Cisco 7301 packs
high performance in a space- and power-efficient chassis that includes a single Cisco
7000 Series port adapter slot, three onboard Gigabit Ethernet (copper or optical) or
Fast Ethernet ports, and new high-speed bus technologies.
• Compact, power-efficient 1-RU form factor
• Single Cisco 7000 Series port adapter slot
• Complete Cisco IOS Software feature support
• Three onboard Gigabit Ethernet (copper or optical) or Fast Ethernet ports
• Pluggable Gigabit Ethernet optics (Small Form-Factor Pluggable [SFP] optics)
• Up to 1 GB of available DRAM, supporting up to 1 million routes
• Up to 256 MB of removable compact Flash memory
• Front-to-back airflow and single-sided management
The Cisco 7301 supports Cisco Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG), the next-generation
policy and subscriber management solution to deliver dynamic session awareness.
Cisco ISG supports IP, Ethernet, ATM, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and
VPN architectures, whether the business model is for retail, wholesale, or business
services. Cisco ISG allows for zero-touch provisioning, and provides the per-flow
granularity and dynamic control required for triple-play services. Unlike some
competitive offerings, Cisco ISG is standards-based for multi-vendor deployment. With
RADIUS Change of Authorization (RFC 3576), subscriber profiles can be changed
dynamically based on user self-management (through a Web portal) or through an OSS
process. Network utilization improves because per-subscriber bandwidth needs are
managed dynamically, increasing customer satisfaction.
