Cisco has updated its Cisco 4000 Series Router Family. The
new member-Cisco 4221 ISRs has been added to this popular family.
What benefits does this new 4221 ISRs bring to us? Customers
nickname the Cisco ISR 4000 Series as the Swiss Army Knife of
branch networking. It is praised for its versatility and adaptability all
in one box very much like the pocket utility knife. And the new ISR
4221 is no different: small, but mighty.
Now the Cisco 4000 Series contains six platforms: the 4451, 4431,
4351, 4331, 4321 and the new 4221 ISRs
Whats New on ISR 4421? The ISR 4221 is mightier than the ISR
G2, vis--vis ISR 1921 and 1941. It is a desktop-like, industrially
designed 1RU box priced cost-effectively for mid-markets.
Cisco ISR 4221 Key Highlights:
1. It meets all digital network requirements

Integrated Services Routers here:
Throughout the 4000 Series, all platforms come with fixed maximum
performance levels. One fixed base performance level is delivered
as the factory default, with an optional performance-on-demand
license to increase the base forwarding throughput. This scenario
enables deployment in high-speed WAN environments through
performance-on-demand licensing to double or, for one of the
platforms, triple the router capacity without any hardware upgrades.
All 4000 Series platforms have their fixed performance levels set
well within actual capacity, with the result that performance does
not necessarily degrade when a service is added to the
configuration. This setup provides a deterministic performance,
eliminating a network administrators guesswork when planning for
new services.
OIR (online insertion and removal) is supported on the Cisco 4000
Series (But the Cisco 4221 does not support OIR.) for the
following scenarios:
Surprise insertion or removal of any NIM in any of the NIM slots
Surprise insertion or removal of any SM-X in the SM-X slots
Surprise insertion or removal of any power supply or system PoE
conversion module
Surprise replacement of the system fan tray; note, however, that
this replacement must take place quickly enough that the system
does not overheat, and depending on altitude and ambient
temperature, the amount of time can vary greatly
Note that SM-X and NIM modules allow replacement only for
like-to-like modules. A faulty module can be replaced with a good
