Cisco 7600 Series Router Supervisor Engine and Route Switch Processor Guide
OL-10100-04
Chapter 2 Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines
RSP720 with 10GE Uplink Ports
–
10 gigabits per second (Gbps) on both 10GE ports
–
1 Gbps on all three 1GE ports
–
16 Gbps backplane forwarding
When all five uplink ports are operational, the total bandwidth for uplink traffic is 20 Gbps (20 GE).
• The RSP720-10GE provides flexible memory options like the RSP720. The RSP720-10GE ships
with 2-GB memory on the route processor (RP) and 1-GB memory on the switch processor (SP).
Memory options are available to upgrade to 4-GB memory on the RP and 2-GB memory on the SP.
• The RSP720-10GE supports Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode. However, uplink ports on
the standby supervisor will be unusable.
See the “RSP720-10GE Usage Guidelines and Limitations” section on page 2-10 for information about
things to consider when you use the RSP720-10GE.
