Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and
Cisco 12810 Series Router Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and
Cisco 12810 series routers. It contains physical descriptions of the router
hardware and major components, and functional descriptions of the
hardware-related features.
The routers described in this guide are part of the Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and
Cisco 12810 series routers and include:
The original Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and Cisco 12810 series routers.
•
• The newer Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and Cisco 12810 enhanced series
routers. The enhanced series of routers use higher capacity power supplies, a
more powerful blower module, and have a newly designed front door.
The capacity of the router switch fabric differentiates each model:
Cisco 12010 Router—2.5-Gbps switch fabric
•
• Cisco 12410 Route—10-Gbps switch fabric
Cisco 12810 Router—40-Gbps switch fabric
•
Other than their various capacities, these routers are almost identical. Differences
between each router are described and unless otherwise noted, all information in
this publication applies to all routers.
