For hardware installation and maintenance information on Cisco 12000 Series
Routers, refer to the installation and configuration guide for your router. This
includes information on card slot locations and other general requirements.
The PRP operates on all Cisco 12000 Series Routers and can be installed in any

active PRP and the other is a backup, or standby, PRP. If the active PRP fails or is
removed from the system, the standby PRP detects the failure and initiates a
