C8225-G2 Description
The C8225-G2 is a Cisco 8200 Series Secure Router in a desktop chassis for all-gigabit branch sites that run security services on the router. The router has 2x 1/10 GE SFP+ and 2x 1 GE RJ-45 WAN ports, 19 Gbps of forwarding, 5 Gbps of IPsec, 2.4 Gbps of Threat protection and 16 GB of DRAM on a 66W AC external adapter. The router has no cellular slot, no expansion slot and no PoE-capable power supply.

Product Performance
Key Features
Threat protection at 2.4 Gbps, against 1 Gbps on C8221-G2, supports inspection services running on the router itself.
Twice the memory of C8221-G2 leaves headroom for concurrent security services and routing tables.
The two SFP+ cages take 1 GE or 10 GE optics, alongside two 1 GE RJ-45 WAN ports.
Two WAN, two Flex and four LAN ports carry data only, as no PoE-capable supply is available.
The router starts at Cisco IOS XE Release 26.1.2, one train beyond the multigigabit 8200 models at 17.18.1.
Operating range is 0 to 45 degrees C, reduced to 0 to 40 degrees C with the dust and liquid cover fitted.
Application Scenarios
At a branch that inspects its own traffic, the router applies NGFW, intrusion prevention, URL filtering and malware protection locally at up to 2.4 Gbps.
In a branch with gigabit switches and servers, the router connects its eight copper ports to the LAN and takes the circuit on a WAN port or SFP+ cage.
In a back-office cabinet that needs the dust and liquid cover, the router runs at 0 to 40 degrees C with the cover fitted.

C8225-G2 and C8221-G2 have identical ports and the same 19 Gbps forwarding, 5 Gbps IPsec and 4 Gbps SD-WAN; C8225-G2 carries 16 GB of DRAM and 2.4 Gbps of Threat protection against 8 GB and 1 Gbps. A router that inspects traffic above 1 Gbps on the box needs C8225-G2, while a branch that inspects at a hub can order C8221-G2. C8225-G2 has no PoE-capable supply and no cellular slot. A site that powers endpoints or needs a PIM cellular bay moves to C8235-G2, which keeps 16 GB and 2.4 Gbps, adds 2.5 GE mGig ports and a 120W PoE budget on the 230 W AC for PoE adapter, and starts at Cisco IOS XE Release 17.18.1 instead of 26.1.2.
Ordering Checklist
- Secondary power adapter: Add a secondary 66W AC external adapter, listed as the Secondary PSU option. Without it the router runs on the single default 66W AC adapter.
- Rack tray: Add the rack tray with power supply if the desktop chassis is racked. Racked, the footprint is 2.835 x 12 x 17.56 in. instead of the desktop dimensions.
- Dust and liquid cover: Decide whether the cover is fitted; it limits operation to 0 to 40 degrees C. The 0 to 45 degrees C range applies only without the cover.
