Cisco Router
(C8255-G2-UCSXE)
The Cisco C8255-G2-UCSXE is a Secure Router Node designed specifically for the Cisco UCS XE9305 Chassis as part of the Cisco Unified Edge platform. Unlike traditional standalone branch routers, the C8255-G2-UCSXE is a modular router that integrates enterprise routing, SD-WAN, security, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) networking into a converged edge-computing solution. It is intended for organizations that need high-performance networking and compute capabilities at branch offices, factories, retail locations, healthcare facilities, and other distributed sites.
