Overview
Cisco 4431 Integrated Services Router, which supports 3 Network Interface Modules (NIM) slots,
delivers 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps aggregate throughput. This router also support two kinds of DDRM,
data plane and control/services plane, which make administrator easy to manage the router.

FAQ
Q: What software are the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs capable of running?
A: The 4000 Series ISRs run Cisco IOS XE Software. The initial version will be Cisco IOS XE Software
Release 3.9.1. The 4300 and 4431 ISRs were released with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.13, and
the 4200 Series ISRs were released with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.4.1.
Q: Are the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Shared Port Adapter (SPA) cards supported on the 4000 Series
ISRs?
A: No. SPAs are not compatible with the 4000 Series ISRs.
Q: Can the NIMs or service modules available on the Cisco 4000 Series work on the Cisco ASR
1000 Series?
A: The service modules will work with the Cisco ASR 1000 Series. Select NIMs will also work with
Q: Can I use the enhanced high-speed WAN interface cards (EHWICs) available on the Cisco 1900,
2900, and 3900 Series ISRs on the Cisco 4000 Series ISRs?
16
A: EHWIC modules available on the Cisco ISR Generation 2 (ISR G2) routers will not work with the
4000 Series ISRs. The 4000 Series is targeted at new branch-office environments requiring high
bandwidth and greater application performance, making most EHWICs unapplicable. Also, the
newer NIM architecture allows for faster, more capable modules on a high-end platform.
Q: What memory upgrade options are available on the Cisco 4000 Series?
A: The 4000 Series has separate data and control-plane memory. The control-plane memory
comes with 4 GB as the default, and is upgradable up to 16 GB based on various platforms. The
data-plane memory comes with 2 GB as the default and is not currently upgradable.
Q: How many dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) does the Cisco ISR4431/K9 have?
Q: In the case of control-plane memory, can I put a 4-GB DIMM in one slot and a 2-GB DIMM in
A: No. Like the Cisco 3900 Series, the 4000 Series expects both DIMM slots to have the same size
of memory; as an example, it must have either 4-GB memory in both slots for a total of 8 GB of
17
memory. This setup is necessary because these platforms interleave memory devices for faster
access.
Q: Do all four ports with both RJ-45 and Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) front panel Gigabit
A: Yes. You can configure auto-failover on any of the front-panel ports with both RJ-45 and SFP
connections. When auto-failover is configured, if the primary interface type fails, either RJ-45 or
SFP, the other media type becomes active and allows traffic to continue over the backup physical
connection. In this scenario, the backup connection needs to be connected with the same speed
and duplex as the primary connection. Note that the auto-failover feature as described does
support one Gigabit Ethernet interface acting as a backup to another. The two physical
connections available on a single Gigabit Ethernet interface simply provide failover if a link fails.
Q: Is MDI crossover (MDI-X) supported on the four onboard RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces?
A: Yes.
18
A: All power-supply options for the 4000 Series use a standard IEC C13 connector. No special IEC
C15 cord is necessary for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply because higher-efficiency
power supplies (85 percent) are used in the 4000 Series. This cord thus helps lower the maximum
