Overview of the Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge uCPE

The Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge uCPE combines routing, switching, storage, processing, and a host of other computing and networking activities into a compact one Rack Unit (RU) box. This

Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge uCPE achieves this goal by providing the infrastructure to deploy virtualized network functions while at the same time acting as a server that addresses processing, workload, and storage challenges.

Hardware Features - Standard

  • USB 2.0 and 3.0 port: You can use this port to connect a mouse, keyboard, or any other USB device. Using a USB hub, you can connect more than one USB device to this port. Because this port is backward compatible, you can also use an older version of USB devices on this port.

  • Front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports: There are four Copper RJ45 ports, and two fiber optic ports.


    Warning

    For connections outside the building where the equipment is installed, the following ports must be connected through an approved network termination unit with integral circuit protection: Gigabit Ethernet (GE). Statement 1044.

  • M.2 storage module: This is a high capacity storage component. The OS is installable in this module. The storage capacity of this module is upgradeable. The storage capacity available for this module is 32 GB for USB type M.2 and starting from NFVIS software release 17.6.1, the storage capacity is 75 GB for USB type M.2. The storage capacity is 600 GB for NVMe type M.2 or 2 TB for NVME type M.2.

  • Hard Disk Drive (HDD): You can install an HDD in a 2.5 inch HDD slot.

    The types of supported disks are:

    • 1 TB HDD SATA

    • 2 TB HDD SATA

    • 480 GB SSD SATA

    • 960 GB SSD SATA

    • 4 TB SSD SATA

  • Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs): Stores the running configuration and routing tables and is used for packet buffering by the network interfaces.


    Note

    The minimum memory supported is 8 GB and maximum memory is 64 GB.

  • Network Interface Module (NIM): You can install a NIM in the NIM slot. Similarly when not needed, you can remove the NIM from the NIM module. The device supports only one NIM at a time.

  • Pluggable Interface Module (PIM): You can install a PIM in the PIM slot.


    Note

    For proper thermal functioning of the system, all module slots (PIM, NIM, M.2 and 2.5" HDD) that do not have a functional module installed must be provisioned with a blank filler.

LEDs for Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports has six ports: four RJ45 ports and two SFP ports.

Warning

Class I(CDRH) and Class 1M (IEC) laser products. Statement 1055

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

Fans, Ventilation, and Airflow

The chassis temperature is regulated with internal fans. An onboard temperature sensor controls the fan speed. The fans are always on when the device is powered on. Under all conditions, the fans operate at the slowest speed possible to conserve power and reduce noise. When necessary, the fans operate at higher speeds under conditions of higher ambient temperature.
