Overview of the Router

The Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router is a ruggedized power utility substation router, which offers data functionality through Gigabit Ethernet ports, and security functionality with a VPN accelerator.

This Cisco CGR 2010 router has new rugged grid router WAN interface card (GRWIC) slots (for both single-wide and double-wide GRWICS) that support the rugged product power utility market.

Ruggedized routers comply with specifications IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850, for products that meet stringent environmental, surge, and electromagnetic Interference (EMI) requirements for utility substation environments without moving parts or fans.

These topics are discussed:

Software Requirements

You must have Cisco IOS Release 15.8(3) software installed in the CGR2010 to support the PIDs referenced in Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router Data Sheet .

Supported PIDs

See the Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router Data Sheet for the list of Cisco 2010 Connected Grid Router Product IDs (PIDs).

GRWIC Installation Options

CGR 2010 has four slots with two removable dividers that allow the following GRWIC installation options:

  • 4 single-wide GRWICs
  • 2 single-wide GRWICs and 1 double-wide GRWIC
  • 2 double-wide GRWICs

Gigabit Ethernet Ports

There are two different types of Gigabit Ethernet ports available on Cisco CGR 2010 router.

Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 copper interface ports support 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T.

SFP Ports

The small form factor pluggable (SFP) ports on the Cisco CGR 2010 router support the SFP modules listed in Supported SFP Modules.

 

Table 2 Supported SFP Modules

Type of SFP Module

Model

Rugged and Industrial SFPs

-40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C)
  • GLC-SX-MM-RGD
  • GLC-LX-SM-RGD
  • GLC-ZX-SM-RGD
  • GLC-FE-100LX-RGD
  • GLC-FE-100FX-RGD

Commercial SFPs

32 to 113°F (0 to 45°C)
  • GLC-BX-U with digital optical monitoring (DOM) support
  • GLC-BX-D with DOM support
  • GLC-FE-100LX
  • GLC-FE-100BX-D
  • GLC-FE-100BX-U
  • GLC-FE-100FX
  • GLC-FE-100EX
  • GLC-FE-100ZX
  • CWDM-SFP with DOM support

Extended temperature SFPs

23 to 140°F (-5 to 60°C)

  • SFP-GE-S with DOM support
  • SFP-GE-L with DOM support
  • SFP-GE-Z with DOM support

The SFP port shares the same physical port as an RJ-45 GE port. The SFP port can be configured for the following behaviors:

  • Always use the RJ-45 port.
  • Always use the SFP port.
USB Console Port

The Mini-USB type B port has been enabled to perform management tasks on the router. To use this port, you must install a Windows USB device driver before establishing physical connectivity between a personal computer and the router. See the Installing the Cisco Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver for driver installation instructions.

Removable and Interchangeable Modules and Cards

GRWICs and power supply units (PSU) for the Cisco CGR 2010 fit into external slots and can be removed or replaced without opening the chassis.

Note: See Installing Cisco Interface Cards in Cisco Access Routers for instructions that describe how to install GRWICs in the router.

Grid Router WAN Interface Cards

GRWICs are the latest generation of interface cards. GRWICs are installed in the GRWIC slots on the router (see Proper Installation of Multiple GRWICs).

The router can accommodate four single-wide GRWICS, or two single-wide GRWICs and one double-wide GRWIC, or two double-wide GRWICs at any one time. See Installing Grid Router WAN Interface Cards.

Memory

Cisco CGR 2010 routers contain the following types of memory:

  • DDR2—Stores the running configuration and routing tables, and is used for packet buffering by the network interfaces. Cisco IOS software executes from DRAM memory. Supports 1-GB on board DDR2.
  • Boot/NVRAM—Stores the bootstrap program (ROM monitor), the configuration register, and the startup configuration.
  • Flash memory—External flash memory. Stores the operating system software image. Supports two external 4 GB I-temp compact flash memory cards.
  • Two 1-GB USB flash memory sticks (MEMUSB-1024FT), one each in drives USB 0 and USB 1.
Power Supplies

Cisco CGR 2010 supports three PSUs (power supply units). Power supplies are field replaceable, externally accessible, and hot swappable.

Power-Supply Modules summarizes the three power supply options.

 

Table 3 Power-Supply Modules

Model

Description

PWR-RGD-AC-DC

High-voltage AC or DC power supply.

PWR-RGD-LOW-DC

Low-voltage DC power supply.

PWR-RGD-AC-DC-C

High-voltage AC or DC power supply. China-specific model.

Note: Any combination of power supplies can be inserted into the chassis. Dual power supply configurations are load sharing in redundancy mode. A single power supply is sufficient for supporting power needs to the system.

Caution: Two types of power supplies are supported on the Cisco CGR 2010 router: a low-voltage DC power supply and a high-voltage DC/AC power supply. Take caution when selecting the correct input voltage for the power supply installed or damage will result. For details on connecting AC and DC power supplies, see the Power-Supply Modules.

1 Internal RPS means that additional power supply can be added to the PS2 slot.

2 Dual DC means two separate DC lines input to the same power supply.

Real-Time Clock

Upon system power up, the internal real-time clock with battery backup provides the system software with time of day. This allows the system to verify the validity of the certification authority (CA) certificate. The Cisco CGR 2010 has a lithium battery. This battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router and is not field-replaceable.

Note: If the lithium battery in a Cisco CGR 2010 router should fail, the router must be returned to Cisco for repair.

Slot, Port, and Interface Information

On the Cisco CGR 2010 router, the numbering format for slots and ports is defined as follows: interface type 0/slot/port . “0” indicates slots that are built into the chassis of a router.

LED Indicators

Power Supply Side View LEDs on the Cisco CGR 2010 Router summarizes the LED indicators that are located on the router bezel or chassis, but not on the removable interface cards.
