Product Overview
Following are brief descriptions of the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers, the RSP7000, and the
RSP7000CI.
What Is the Cisco 7000?
The Cisco 7000 is a seven-slot router chassis, which uses the new RSP7000. The Cisco 7000
provides up to five interface processor slots, and can accommodate the following CxBus-based
interface processors: Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI),
channel attachment, multichannel, serial, and so forth. The 7000 RSP and interface processors are
keyed with guides on the backplane to prevent them from being fully inserted in the wrong slot.
Figure 1 shows the rear of the Cisco 7000 router with the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed. In the
Cisco 7000 series, two slots are reserved for the 7000 Route Switch Processor (RSP7000), which
contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions, and the 7000 Chassis
Interface (RSP7000CI) board, which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the
Cisco 7000, when configured with the new 7000 RSP. The remaining slots (0 through 4) are for
interface processor.
