  1. Fiber Optics SystemUTA’s Computer Network Tarang Patel | Prof. Dr. Stelmakh | UT Arlington, TX

  2. Content • External Networks Connected to UTA • Cisco Router 7200 Series

  3. External Networks Connected to UTA • The first is fed via the North Texas Gigapop Association.  • The second is fed via THEnet which is the Texas Higher Education Network  

  4. Cisco 7200 Series New Features With the introduction of the Cisco 7200 Router, the following is offered (refer to Table 1 for details): • Provides double the performance compared to the Cisco 7301 1RU router-up to 2 million pps in Cisco Express Forwarding switching • Provides four native Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces-six physical access ports: – Four fixed GE ports are available on the Cisco 7200. The first two ports provide either RJ45 copper or SFP optical connectivity; the other two ports provide only SFP optical connectivity because of space constraint. The first two ports can also be configured as 10/100Mbps (Ethernet/FE) when RJ45 copper interface is used. • Provides one dedicated 10-/100-Mbps copper Ethernet port for management • Offers dual field-replaceable AC or DC power supplies • Provides one USB port for general storage and security token storage • Offers 1 GB of DRAM memory by default, with optional upgrade to 2-GB synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) • Offers backward compatibility with existing port adapters (with a few exceptions) • Offers greatly improved price/performance ratio
