Memory
For information on installing DRAM, SDRAM, NVRAM, and CompactFlash memory, see:
•Upgrading System Memory in Cisco 3700 Series Routers
•Installing Field-Replaceable Units in Cisco 3745 Routers
For information on installing CompactFlash memory cards, see:
•Installing and Formatting Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, and Cisco 3700 CompactFlash Memory Cards
Memory
Cisco 3700 series routers support the following types of memory:
•SDRAM—Stores the running configuration and routing tables and is used for packet buffering by
the network interfaces. Cisco IOS software executes from SDRAM memory.
•NVRAM—Stores the system configuration file and virtual configuration register. For more
information, see Appendix C, “Configuration Register.” CompactFlash memory—Stores the
operating system software image. You can increase CompactFlash memory by adding Cisco 3700
CompactFlash memory cards. See the Installing and Formatting Cisco 3631 and Cisco 3700
CompactFlash Memory Cards document.
•EPROM-based memory—Stores the ROM monitor, which allows you to boot an operating system
software image from internal or external CompactFlash memory.

Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco 3700 Series Routers Interface Numbering
Interface Numbering
This section describes numbering conventions for interfaces on Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745 routers.
Cisco 3725 Interfaces
Each individual interface (port) on a Cisco 3725 router is identified by number, as described in the
following sections.
WAN and LAN Interface Numbering
The Cisco 3725 router chassis contains the following WAN and LAN interface types:
•Two built-in Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces
•Three slots in which you can install WAN interface cards (WICs)
•One single-wide slot (slot 1) in which you can install one network module
•One double-wide slot (slot 2) in which you can install one single-wide or double-wide network
module
The numbering format is interface-type slot-number/interface-number. Two examples are:
•FastEthernet 0/0
•Serial 1/2
The slot numbers are as follows:
•0 for all built-in interfaces
•0 for all WIC interfaces
•1 for interfaces in the single-wide network module slot
•2 for interfaces in the double-wide network module slot
Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left and (if
necessary) from bottom to top.
Figure 1-3 shows an example of interface numbering on a Cisco 3725 router with these interfaces:
•A WIC in each WIC slot (containing interfaces Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1 in physical slot W0,
interface Serial 0/2 in physical slot W1, and interface BRI 0/0 in physical slot W2)
•A 2-port T1 network module in slot 1 (containing the following ports: T1 1/0 and T1 1/1)
•A 36-port EtherSwitch network module in slot 2 (containing the following ports: Fast Ethernet 2/0
through 2/35, and Gigabit Ethernet 2/0 and 2/1)
•Two built-in Ethernet 10/100-Mbps interfaces—Fast Ethernet 0/0 and Fast Ethernet 0/1

Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco 3700 Series Routers
Interface Numbering
Figure 1-3 WAN and LAN Interface Numbering
The slot number for all WIC interfaces is always 0. (The W0 and W1 slot designations are for physical
slot identification only.) Interfaces in the WICs are numbered from right to left, starting with 0/0 for each
interface type, regardless of which physical slot the WICs are installed in. Some examples are as follows:
•If slot W0 is empty and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interface in the WIC is
numbered Serial 0/0.
•If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial
interfaces in physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the serial interface in
physical slot W1 is numbered Serial 0/2.
•If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port BRI WIC, the serial interfaces
in physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the BRI interface in physical slot
W1 is numbered BRI 0/0.
Voice Interface Numbering
Voice interfaces are numbered as follows:
chassis-slot/voice-module-slot/voice-interface
If a 4-channel voice network module is installed in chassis slot 1, the voice interfaces are:
•1/0/0—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 0
•1/0/1—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 1
•1/1/0—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 1/Voice interface 0
•1/1/1—Chassis slot 1/Voice module slot 1/Voice interface 1

Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco 3700 Series Routers Interface Numbering
Cisco 3745 Interfaces
Each individual interface (port) on a Cisco 3745 router is identified by number as described in the
following sections.
WAN and LAN Interface Numbering
The Cisco 3745 router chassis contains the following WAN and LAN interface types:
•Two built-in FastEthernet LAN interfaces
•Three slots in which you can install WAN or voice interface cards
•Four network module slots
The numbering format is interface-type slot-number/interface-number. Two examples are:
•FastEthernet 0/0
•Serial 1/2
The slot numbers are as follows:
•0 for all built-in interfaces
•0 for all WIC interfaces
•1 for the lower-right network module slot
•2 for the lower-left network module slot
•3 for the upper-right network module slot
•4 for the upper-left network module slot
If double-wide network modules are installed, the network module slots are numbered as follows:
•2 for the lower double-wide slot
•4 for the upper double-wide slot
Interface (port) numbers begin at 0 for each interface type, and continue from right to left and from
bottom to top.
Figure 1-4 shows the rear panel of the Cisco 3745 with:
•A WIC in each of the three WAN interface card slots
•A single-wide network module in each of the four network module slots
•Two AC power supplies
The slot number for all WIC interfaces is always 0. (The W0, W1, and W2 slot designations are for
physical slot identification only.) Interfaces in the WICs are numbered from right to left, starting with
0/0 for each interface type, regardless of which physical slot the WICs are installed in. Some examples
are:
If physical slot W0 is empty and physical slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interface in
the WIC is numbered Serial 0/0.
If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port serial WIC, the serial interfaces in
physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the serial interface in physical slot W1 is
numbered Serial 0/2.
If slot W0 contains a 2-port serial WIC and slot W1 contains a 1-port BRI WIC, the serial interfaces in
physical slot W0 are numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1, and the BRI interface in physical slot W1 is
numbered BRI 0/0.

Voice Interface Numbering
Voice interfaces are numbered differently from the WAN interfaces described in the previous section.
Voice interfaces are numbered as follows:
network-module-slot/voice-module-slot/voice-interface
If a 4-channel voice network module is installed in chassis slot 1, the voice interfaces are:
•1/0/0—Network module slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 0
•1/0/1—Network module slot 1/Voice module slot 0/Voice interface 1
•1/1/0—Network module slot 1/Voice module slot 1/Voice interface 0

Chapter 1 Overview of Cisco 3700 Series Routers Power Supply Options
Power Supply Options
Table 1-3 lists the power supply options supported by Cisco 3700 series routers. Depending on the
configuration specified when you placed your order, your router may not support all of these options.
Internal –48 V Telephony Power Modules
Cisco 3700 series routers provide inline power to IP phones connected to the router through Ethernet
switch network modules. This power is supplied by special –48 V modules that connect directly to the
chassis power supplies in Cisco 3725 and Cisco 3745 routers. A single –48 V power module meets the
power needs of up to 36 IP phones. A Cisco 3745 router with two –48 V power modules installed
provides redundant power for up to 36 IP phones. Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6 show the –48 -V power
modules as they appear when installed in Cisco 3700 series routers.
Table 1-3 Power Supply Options for Cisco 3700 Series Routers
Power Supply Option Cisco 3725 Cisco 3745
AC input power Yes Yes
DC input power Yes Yes
–48-V telephony power module to provide inline power to IP phones Yes Yes
Dual hot-swappable power supplies No Yes1
1. Because of increased power consumption in high-temperature environments, a fully loaded Cisco 3745 router requires both
power supplies when ambient temperature exceeds 104˚F (40˚C). Cisco 3745 routers operating under these conditions do not
support the online replacement of power supplies.
Compatible with Cisco Redundant Power System Yes Yes
