Physical Description
The front of the Cisco 7206 provides access to an I/O controller and up to six network interface port
adapters (see
a data terminal (or data terminal equipment [DTE]) and an auxiliary port for connecting a modem (or
other data communications equipment [DCE]) or other devices for configuring and managing the router;
two PC Card slots for Flash memory cards; an optional Fast Ethernet port. The Fast Ethernet port
provides a 100-Mbps connection to the network.
Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. The I/O controller with a Fast
Ethernet port is equipped with either a single MII port or an MII port and an RJ-45 port (only one port
can be used at a time). Although still supported by Cisco Systems, the I/O controller equipped with the
single MII port was discontinued as an orderable product in May 1998.

Online insertion and removal (OIR)—Allows you to add, replace, or remove port adapters without
interrupting the system or entering any console commands.
Dual hot-swappable, load-sharing power supplies—Provide system power redundancy; if one power
supply or power source fails, the other power supply maintains system power without interruption.
Also, when one power supply is powered off and removed from the router, the second power supply
immediately takes over the router's power requirements without interrupting normal operation of the
router.
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions—Allow you to maintain normal system
operation by resolving adverse environmental conditions prior to loss of operation.
Downloadable software—Allows you to load new images into Flash memory remotely, without
having to physically access the Cisco 7206 router, for fast, reliable upgrades.
