Cisco 7206VXR & PA-GE

j2sw

I am looking to install a PA-GE interface in a 7206VXR.  I do not have a processing engine that will support Gigabit speeds.  However, I only need 200 meg out of this setup.  Is it possible to install a PA-GE and link up at Gig speeds but only get around 200 megs of throughput out of it?  I need to do this as a stop bap until a new chassis is ordered.  Possible?

I doubt it. I have not tried this myself but I can see the processor complaining loudly about exceeding the bandwidth points.

What other modules do you have on this router?

If you have few modules, you should be able to install the PA-GE.

Please refer to the datasheet for hardware and software requirements

Hi Edison,

I have not dealt much in the hardware part ,so please excuse me if I am being naive.

We have a Cisco7206VXR and I want to connect two Gigabit ethernet optical links to it .

For first one , I want to free one of the existing port  Gig0/3 which is having media type RJ45 and convert it to 1 Gig Optical port.

It is showing it is in GBIC Port Container 0/3 ,So will adding an SFP-SX  do my work or I would have to plan something else?

For the second port , should I get a PA-GE card and a 1000BASE-SX SFP or a PA-GE card with GBIC-SX .

Inventory details of the router is as below.

For what it's worth, we have a 7204VXR with a PA-GE installed, although it also has a NPE-G1 as well.  The maximum throughput we get is about 200Mbps.

http://www9.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps341/products_tech_note09186a00800c814a.shtml has a section about PA-GE, although I'm not sure whether the 200Mbps bandwidth they state is dependent on the NPE-G1.
