The Cisco Network Processing Engine 225 (NPE-225) is a high-performance control processor used in Cisco's 7200 series routers. Designed specifically to enhance the overall distribution and control of network data, this component ensures efficient and reliable network management for various networking environments. The NPE-225 is tasked with executing system control for the router and handles centralised processing functions. It is engineered to improve the routing and forwarding capabilities of the device it is installed in by leveraging the power of its RISC processor architecture.
The NPE-225 is notable for its capacity to process more packets per second compared to its predecessors, offering a substantial boost to network efficiency. It provides robust support for interface processors that interact with multiple networks and lines. Equipped with around 256MB of DRAM memory with the option to upgrade to higher capacities, the NPE-225 allows for significant scalability in network operations. It also includes an internal Flash memory used for configuration management and system boot processes, enhancing the ease and speed of its deployment in the field.
This control processor features multiple internal buses that facilitate the transfer of data between subsystems, optimising internal operations and ensuring a balanced load on the components. The NPE-225 is designed to integrate smoothly within the Cisco 7200 router architecture, allowing for the seamless processing of complex routing tasks, whether in large-scale enterprise environments or smaller setups where advanced routing capabilities are required.
