Cisco 7500 Series Product Overview
The RSP4/4+ contains the following components:
IDT R5000 Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, used for the CPU. The CPU runs
•
at an external bus clock speed of 100 MHz and an internal clock speed of 200 MHz.
Up to 256 megabytes (MB) of parity-protected, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) on two
•
dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs); 32 MB of DRAM is the default shipping configuration.
2 MB of parity-protected, static random-access memory (SRAM) for packet buffering, and 512 KB
•
of SRAM for secondary CPU cache memory functions. (SRAM is not user- configurable.)
Most of the additional memory components used by the system, including onboard Flash memory
•
and up to two PC Cards. (A bank of hardware [MAC-layer] addresses for the interface port is
contained in an NVRAM device on the router backplane.)
Air-temperature sensors for environmental monitoring. (All of the logic for the environmental
•
monitoring functions is contained on the router interface card.)
In addition to running the system software from DRAM, the RSP4/4+ contains and executes the
following management functions that control the system:
•
Sending and receiving routing protocol updates.
Managing tables and caches.
•
Monitoring interface and environmental status.
•
Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management and the interface between
•
the console and Telnet.
Combining all of the switched routing and high-speed switching functions that communicate with
•
and control the interface processors on the dual CyBus. This switching section decides the
destination of a packet and switches it accordingly.
The RSP4/4+ supports high system availability (HSA), which is a feature in Cisco IOS Release 11.1(4)
or later, allowing two RSPs to be used in a Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX
router. By default, the system master is the RSP that occupies the first RSP slot in the router: slot 2 in
the Cisco 7507, and slot 6 in the Cisco 7513.
Note
The Cisco 7576 uses only one RSP slot per router, designated router A and router B; therefore, it does
not support HSA. The Cisco 7505 has only one RSP slot; therefore, it also does not support the HSA
feature. The RSPs in these models are automatically the system master for their respective routers.
The RSP4/4+ ships as the following product numbers:
•
As a spare part, as Product Number RSP4=
•
Bundled with and installed in Cisco 7500 series routers, as the following product numbers:
