HP Router CR, Technical Data
Product Numbers 27270A, 27271A, 27272A, 27274A, 27276A, 27277A, and
27278A
The HP Router CR is a high-performance, multiprotocol router and
bridge. It can be used to interconnect any number of LAN networks to
create an "internetwork" which links together LANs on a single site,
and/or connects LANs at multiple sites via high-speed links.
Highlights
o Concurrent Multiprotocol Routing and Bridging: The HP Router CR can
be configured to support concurrent operation of five popular routing
protocols: TCP/IP, DECnet IV, Novell(r) IPX, Xerox XNS, and AppleTalk
II. For packets that cannot be routed, the router can function as an
Ethernet/802.3 learning bridge with the IEEE Spanning Tree protocol
and/or as a Token Ring (802.5) bridge with the Source Routing
Transparent protocol. It can also connect to X.25 networks in a
variety of configurations.
o Flexibility: By adding the appropriate network interfaces, the router
can be configured to support from 2 to 8 LAN ports or a maximum of 16
WAN ports. It can also be used in combination with the HP Router ER
and HP Remote Bridge to create cost effective internetworks.
o High Performance: The HP Router CR employs a parallel, multiprocesser
architecture for excellent LAN-to-LAN performance, even in
multiprotocol networks with high traffic loads

Features
o Provides concurrent multiprotocol routing and bridging for maximum
flexibility in connecting different multivendor devices on the
network.
o Offers five standard routing protocols: TCP/IP, DECnet IV, Xerox XNS,
Novell IPX, and AppleTalk II.
o Operates concurrently as a multiport Ethernet/802.3 bridge with the
IEEE 802.1 Spanning Tree Protocol and/or Token Ring (802.5) bridge
with the Source Routing Transparent protocol.
o Allows connection of Ethernet/802.3 networks to Token Ring (802.5) for
networks using TCP/IP, Novell IPX, and/or AppleTalk II protocols.
o Supports the standard protocols used for routing table management in
multiple router networks: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Routing
Information Protocol (RIP).
o Supports from 2 to 8 Ethernet/802.3 connections via the standard AUI
port.
o Supports from 1 to 4 Token Ring (802.5) connections at 4 or 16 Mbit/s
via the mini DB-9 connector.
o Can transfer data through X.25 public data networks (PDNs).
o Supports up to 16 synchronous WAN connections. Different interface
cable options provide RS-232, RS-422/449, V.35, or X.21 interfaces.
Supports data rates up to 2.048 Mbit/s.
o Allows load balancing between multiple WAN links of equal bandwidth.
o Allows synchronous traffic from X.25 packet switches and/or mainframe
terminal controllers to be integrated with router traffic over one set
of WAN links. SDLC, HDLC, or LAP-B data streams can be connected to a
5
synchronous port on the router and forwarded to another router port in
the network.
o Provides a wide variety of filtering options for network security and
isolation.
o Supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Works with
HP OpenView Network Management Software. Also manageable via the
router's console (RS-232) port or Telnet (remote terminal) access over
the network.
o Supports remote installation of new versions of HP Router CR software
over the network using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
o Optionally mounts in a standard 19-inch rack using the built-in
mounting brackets.
