Description

The C8221L-G2 is a secure router from the Cisco 8200 Series, built for medium-sized branch WAN edge deployments. It combines routing, SD-WAN and NGFW-class security on a dedicated secure networking processor, in a compact desktop form factor that can also be rack mounted.

Connectivity is two 10 GE RJ-45 WAN ports alongside eight 1 GE RJ-45 ports, with a separate RJ-45 out-of-band management port, an RJ-45 console port and a USB 3.0 Type-C storage port. This SKU carries 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB storage. Quoted throughput at 512B is 19 Gbps forwarding, 5 Gbps IPsec and 4 Gbps SD-WAN, with 1 Gbps threat protection throughput using EMIX traffic. It scales to 1.5M IPv4/IPv6 routes, 1.5M NAT sessions and 4000 VRF instances.

Power comes from a 66W AC external adapter with a typical draw of 21 W. A second power supply input is available for redundancy. There is no cellular or NIM slot and no PoE. The router requires IOS XE Release 26.1.2 or later, and SD-WAN operation uses Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 26.1.2 or later.

FAQs

Q: Does this router support SD-WAN?
A: Yes. It supports Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN operation and is managed through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 26.1.2 or later. It requires IOS XE Release 26.1.2 or later.

Q: Does the C8221L-G2 provide PoE or a cellular slot?
A: No. This SKU has no PoE and no NIM or cellular slot. Connectivity is limited to its fixed 10 GE and 1 GE RJ-45 ports.

Q: What power supply does it use and can it be made redundant?
A: It uses a 66W AC external adapter with an input range of 85 to 264 VAC, and typical consumption is 21 W. It has dual power supply inputs, so a second 66W AC adapter can be added for redundancy.

Q: How is it mounted?
A: It is a desktop unit and can also be rack mounted using a rack-mount tray, where it occupies 2RU. The tray version measures 2.835 x 12 x 17.56 in.

Q: What is the memory and storage on this SKU?
A: It has 8 GB DRAM and 16 GB storage, which is the variant detail separating it from other 8200 Series models.
