This section describes the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers, and the RSP7000.
What Is the Cisco 7000?
The Cisco 7000 is a seven-slot router chassis, which uses the new RSP7000 (and the 7000 Chassis
Interface [RSP7000CI]). 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. In the Cisco 7000, slot 5 (7000 RSP slot shown in
Figure 1) is reserved for the RSP7000, which contains the system processor and performs packet
switching functions, and slot 6 (7000 CI slot shown in Figure 1) is reserved for the RSP7000CI
board, which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7000. The
remaining five slots (slots 0 through 4) are for interface processors.
