The Cisco 4000 series consists of the Cisco 4000-M, the Cisco 4500-M, and the Cisco 4700-M. All models provide a configurable modular router platform using network processor modules--individual modules that when installed in the router are ready for external network connections. Performance is the key distinction between the Cisco 4000-M, Cisco 4500-M, and Cisco 4700-M.
For maximum performance in the Cisco 4000 series, the Cisco 4700-M contains a 133-MHz RISC microprocessor, 16 to 64 MB main memory, and a 512-KB secondary cache. The faster speed of the Cisco 4700-M allows higher throughput for high-speed interfaces. The 512-KB secondary cache is useful for process switching applications such as compression and encryption.
The Cisco 4500-M contains a 100-MHz RISC microprocessor and 8 to 32 MB of main memory. The Cisco 4000-M contains a 40-MHz CISC microprocessor and 4 to 32 MB of main memory.
All Cisco 4000 series routers provide flexibility, allowing network managers to easily reconfigure the router when needs change.
The Cisco 4000 series routers support up to three network processor modules at a time. The following network processor modules are available at the publication date of this guide:
Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of a Cisco 4000 series router.
Design specifications for the Cisco 4000 series are as follows:
The BRI four-port and eight-port network interface modules can not be used in the same chassis with the channelized T1/ISDN PRI network interface module or the channelized E1/ISDN PRI network interface module.
The Cisco 4000-M does not support Fast Ethernet, HSSI, 2T16S, ATM, or six-port Ethernet network processor modules.The Cisco 4000-M can support only one FDDI network processor module in combination with any two other types of network processor modules.
The Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700-M can support two FDDI network processor modules. If you are only using one FDDI module, install it in the center slot for optimum heat dissipation.
The Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700-M can support one ATM network processor module or up to three six-port Ethernet network processor modules. The single-port Ethernet module is not supported on the Cisco 4500-M or the Cisco 4700-M.

The Cisco 4000 series memory systems (see Figure 1-2) have the following functions:
The differences between the memory systems in the Cisco 4000 series allows enhanced software upgradability in the Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700-M.
Each module in the Cisco 4000 series can change memory configurations to accommodate internetworking demands. The memory requirements are affected by the following factors:
The standard configuration for shared memory is 4 MB for the Cisco 4000 series. 4 MB of memory is enough for most configurations with fewer than 24 physical or virtual interfaces. Routers with multiple ISDN BRI network processor modules or with 24 or more physical and virtual interfaces require 8 to 16 MB of shared memory.
| Network Processor Module | Per-Module Shared Memory Requirements |
| Single-port Ethernet | 0.1 MB |
| Dual-port Ethernet and dual-port serial | 0.2 MB |
| Dual-port Token Ring, four-port serial, and G.703/G.704 serial | 0.4 MB |
| Eight-port BRI, CT1/PRI, and CE1/PRI | 1.0 MB |
| FDDI | 2.0 MB |
| Network Processor Module | Per-Module Shared Memory Requirements |
| Dual-port Ethernet and dual-port serial | 0.4 MB |
| Single-port Fast Ethernet | 1.7 MB |
| Dual-port Token Ring, four-port serial, and G.703/G.704 serial | 0.6 MB |
| Six-port Ethernet, Eight-port BRI, CT1/PRI, and CE1/PRI | 1.2 MB |
| ATM and one FDDI1 | 2.0 MB |
| Two FDDI2 | 3.0 MB |
| Dual-port high-speed synchronous serial and 16-port low-speed synchronous serial | 0.6 MB |
| HSSI | 1.0 MB |
The amount of main memory required by a Cisco 4000 series router is affected by the size of the network and by the access list configurations. However, it is difficult to quantify the exact main memory requirements based only on network size. Use the following guidelines to determine approximate main memory requirements.
Main memory requirement guidelines for Cisco 4000 series routers are as follows:
The Cisco 4000-M, 4500-M, or 4700-M router now supports connection to the Cisco Redundant Power System (RPS). The router supports an RPS in two ways:
For more information, refer to the Cisco RPS Hardware Installation Guide and Installing the Cisco RPS Adapter Plate in Cisco 4000 Routers. This section provides an overview of the Cisco RPS and describes basic features.
Figure 1-3 shows the front panel of the Cisco RPS, and Figure 1-4 shows the rear panel.
 Use the Cisco RPS (model PWR600-AC-RPS) only to power the external device.Seul le système d'alimentation redondant Cisco (RPS modèle PWR600-AC-RPS) doit servir à alimenter le dispositif externe. Das externe Gerät darf nur mit einer redundanten Stromversorgung von Cisco, Modell PWR600-AC-RPS, betrieben werden. Para alimentar el dispositivo externo, usar exclusivamente el sistema de alimentación redundante (redundant power system = RPS) Cisco, modelo PWR600-AC-RPS. |
The Cisco RPS provides power system redundancy to external devices (such as routers, switches, or hubs). The system includes two fully redundant AC input power modules and four DC output power modules for connection to external devices. The Cisco RPS supports the following power source configurations: quasi-redundant and fully redundant.
The Cisco RPS can provide a quasi-redundant power source for up to four external devices that use 150W or less each. You can use a one-to-one cable (one connector at each end of the cable) to connect up to four external devices to the four DC output power modules, as shown in Figure 1-5. When using one-to-one cables, the power source is quasi-redundant because there are two AC input power modules for the Cisco RPS and one DC power output module for each external device. The AC input to the Cisco RPS is fully redundant, but the DC output to the external devices is not.
The Cisco RPS can provide a fully redundant power source for up to two Cisco 4000 series routers. You can use a two-to-one cable to connect up to two external devices to the four DC output power modules on the rear panel of the Cisco RPS, as shown in Figure 1-6. The two-to-one cable is a Y-shaped cable with two connectors at one end of the cable and one connector at the other end. Two connectors at one end of the Y-shaped cable connect to two DC output power modules. The other end of the cable connects to one external device. When using two-to-one cables, the power source is fully redundant because there are two AC input modules and two DC output power modules connected to each external device. If any power module fails, there is a full backup.
The following features are standard:
