After the software is distributed, the routers can reboot from programs stored in local Flash memory.

All models provide a configurable modular router platform by using network processor modules (NPMs) - individual removable cards used for external network connections. Because the router's modules support many variations of protocols, line speeds, and transmission media, the Cisco 4000 series can accommodate all types of network computing environments. As Cisco introduces new modules, the Cisco 4000 series can be upgraded to keep pace with technological advances.
