For detailed information about the features supported on Cisco 7600 series
routers, see the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration
Guide for the version of software being used on the router.
Supervisor engine or
route switch
processor
• Modular, upgradable feature modules for core switching logic
• Modular Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can configure with Gigabit
Interface Converter (GBIC), small form-factor pluggable (SFP), XENPAK,
and X2 optics modules
• Several combinations of multilayer switch feature cards (MSFCs) and
policy feature cards (PFCs) supported (see
Table 2-1):
–
MSFC4 and PFC3C or PFC3CXL (for the RSP720, see note below)
–
MSFC3 and PFC3B, PFC3BXL, or PFC3A (see note below)
–
MSFC2 and PFC or PFC2
• The MSFC contains the switch processor and route processor (SP/RP) for
the router.
• PCMCIA slot
• Console port for terminal and modem access
Note The Route Switch Processor 720 (RSP720) is the newest supervisor
engine for the Cisco
7600 series routers. It is available in Cisco IOS
Release 12.2SRB and later releases.
Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2SRC introduces support for the RSP720-10GE
(an RSP with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports).
Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2SXF is the last release in which the PFC3A is
supported. Later releases do not support this PFC.
Fault tolerance and
redundancy
• Support for two hot-swappable (redundant) supervisor engines or route
switch processors, including fast switchover to the redundant (standby)
module
• Support for two redundant AC- or DC-input, load-sharing power supplies
• Support for two redundant AC- or DC-input PEMs (Cisco 7603 and
Cisco
7606 routers only)
• Power management for modules and power supplies
• Environmental monitoring of critical system components
• Hot-swappable fan assembly
• Redundant clock modules
• LACP 1-1 redundancy with fast switchover
