The Cisco 7606 (part number 7606-S323B-8G-P) is a high-performance rack-mountable router designed for versatile and scalable network infrastructure. It comes equipped with the Cisco Supervisor Engine 32, making it suitable for enterprise and service provider networks requiring reliability, flexibility, and high throughput. This router integrates both hardware and software features to enhance the overall network efficiency in areas such as data, voice, and video traffic management.
The included Cisco Supervisor Engine 32 significantly enhances the router’s capabilities by offering 8 ports of Gigabit Ethernet. These high-capacity ports deliver fast, smooth network performance and provide sufficient bandwidth to support demanding applications. Additionally, the Supervisor Engine is built with the MSFC2A (Multilayer Switch Feature Card), which enables seamless multi-layer switching and routing. This is particularly useful for large networks that require robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP-based network operations.
An additional feature is the inclusion of the PFC3B (Policy Feature Card), which allows the router to handle QoS (Quality of Service), route filtering, and traffic prioritisation more efficiently. This feature is essential in environments where multiple types of traffic—such as web browsing, VoIP, and video streaming—compete for bandwidth. Furthermore, the Cisco 7606 is able to provide high availability through its redundant architecture options, making it a solid choice for mission-critical applications.
With a compact, 6-slot chassis, the Cisco 7606 can easily fit into standard datacenter racks. Despite its relatively reduced form factor as compared to other routers in the 7600 series, it offers ample flexibility for network expansions and hardware upgrades over time.
