  • Page 2: Important Information

    GRP Redundancy When two GRPs are installed in a Cisco 12000 Series Router, one GRP is the active GRP, and the other is the backup, or standby GRP. If the active GRP fails or is removed from the system, the standby GRP detects the failure and initiates a switchover.

  • Page 3: Product Overview

    Cisco IOS Release. Also refer to the Cisco IOS software release notes for additional information. The GRP line card is supported in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(9)GS and later. GRP configurations with 512 MB of route memory are only compatible with Product Number GRP-B=. Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)S or 12.0(19)ST or later and ROMMON Release 11.2 (181) or later are also required.
  • Page 4 The Cisco IOS software images that run the Cisco 12000 Series Router system reside in Flash memory, which is located on the GRP in the form of a single in-line memory module (SIMM), and on up to two Flash cards (called Flash memory cards or Flash disks), which insert into the two slots (slot 0 and slot 1) on the front of the GRP.
  • Page 5 Storing the Cisco IOS images in Flash memory enables you to download and boot from upgraded Cisco IOS software images remotely or from software images that reside in GRP Flash memory. The Cisco 12000 Series Router system supports downloadable system software for most Cisco IOS software upgrades, which enables you to remotely download, store, and boot from a new Cisco IOS software image.

    Replacing a GRP Connecting to the Console Port The system console port on the GRP is a DCE DB-25 receptacle for connecting a data terminal, which you must configure. The console port is labeled Console, as shown in console port, check your terminal’s documentation to determine the baud rate of the terminal you plan to use.

Depending on the type of media you use between the MII connection on the GRP and your switch or hub, the network side of your 100BASE-T transceiver should be appropriately equipped—with SC-type or ST-type connectors (for optical fiber), BNC connectors, and so forth.
