Type II slots
The RSP720-10GE has two 10GE uplink ports and three 1GE uplink ports. You can use the 10GE
ports as high-bandwidth uplinks and save chassis slots for high-density interfaces, such as a
SIP/SPA. This is especially useful in smaller chassis and in redundant configurations. For the three
1GE uplink ports, two ports support 1-Gbps SFP modules and one port supports a 10/100/1000-Mbps
RJ-45 connector.
The RSP720-10GE supports the following line rates for uplink traffic and backplane forwarding:
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 on
the route processor (RP) with a default 2-GB memory for the 3CXL version and 1-GB for the 3C
version. The switch processor (SP) ships with a default 1-GB memory. Memory options are available
to upgrade to 4-GB memory on the RP. From Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD1 onwards, a 2-GB
memory upgrade option is supported on the SP.
The RSP720-10GE supports Stateful Switchover (SSO) mode and the uplink ports are supported on
the standby supervisor card beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE.
