The NPE-G2 is a Cisco 7200 series network processing engine that installs only in the Cisco 7204VXR and 7206VXR routers. It has three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using SFP modules, a Fast Ethernet management port, a console port, an auxiliary port and a CompactFlash Disk.
Two USB ports on the engine accept security tokens and data file storage. A handle and two captive installation screws secure it to the chassis, and the front panel has a cable-management bracket for the Gigabit Ethernet cabling.
The NPE-G2 works with the I/O controller, and it can also be used without one. A Port Adapter Jacket Card, which holds one port adapter, works only with an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 installed, and it goes in the I/O controller slot.
Main memory options are 1 GB or 2 GB of SDRAM, with 1 GB as the default system DRAM and 2 GB as the maximum. On the 7204VXR the NPE-G2 needs Cisco IOS 12.4(4)XD, 12.4(15)T or 12.2(31)SB4 or later, and the 7206VXR follows the same minimums. The predecessor engine for the same chassis is the NPE-G1 Cisco 7200 Series network processing engine, and the routers that host these engines are in Cisco routers.
