The Cisco CISCO7604 Router Chassis is a compact and scalable 4-slot modular platform from the Cisco 7600 Series, designed for high-performance WAN, edge, and metropolitan-area network (MAN) deployments. Engineered for enterprise and service provider environments, it delivers reliable routing, advanced services, and flexible configuration options in a space-efficient 5RU form factor.
Built to support a wide range of line cards and service modules, the CISCO7604 enables deployment of data, voice, and video services on a single platform. Its modular architecture allows organizations to scale network capacity and functionality as requirements evolve, making it a future-ready solution for growing infrastructures.
The chassis supports single or dual supervisor engines, enabling high availability and redundancy with features such as Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) and Stateful Switchover (SSO). Combined with redundant power supply options (AC/DC) and robust cooling, it ensures continuous operation in mission-critical environments.
Running on Cisco IOS, the platform supports advanced networking features including MPLS, BGP, OSPF, QoS, and security capabilities, allowing efficient traffic management and secure connectivity across complex networks.
Designed for versatility, the Cisco 7604 is ideal for enterprise WAN aggregation, service provider edge deployments, metro Ethernet networks, and high-performance routing infrastructures. Its balance of scalability, reliability, and performance makes it a dependable foundation for modern networking environments.
