Applications
The Cisco 7200 Series VXR routers were a cornerstone of enterprise and service provider networks from the late 1990s through the 2000s, designed to deliver high-speed, modular WAN routing with a range of interface options. The 7204VXR variant supports four interface slots, making it well-suited for multi-protocol WAN aggregation, T1/E1/T3 connectivity, Frame Relay, ATM, and IP/MPLS edge routing. The VXR chassis introduced a more powerful Network Processing Engine architecture compared to the original 7200 series, enabling higher packet-forwarding rates required by growing broadband and enterprise traffic demands. These platforms were widely deployed by ISPs, enterprise IT departments, and government networks as core and edge routers, and remain in use today for lab environments, Cisco IOS training and certification labs (CCNP/CCIE), legacy network maintenance, and low-volume WAN aggregation where a cost-effective IOS platform is needed. The modular design allows network adapters and WAN interface cards to be swapped to support a wide variety of connectivity types.
This Cisco 7204VXR Network Processing Engine router chassis has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use. The chassis shows normal wear consistent with prior rack deployment — light surface scuffing on the panels, but no cracks, major dents, or damage. All four module bays, the dual Cisco 34-0687-01 power supplies, the Fast Ethernet I/O Controller, and the NPE module are present and appear intact.
