Cisco 7609 Internet Router

Cisco 7609 Internet Router
The Cisco 7609 Internet Router chassis has nine vertical slots that are numbered
from right to left. (See Figure 1-1.)
Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine, which provides switching, local and
remote management, and multiple gigabit uplink interfaces.
Slot 2 can contain an additional redundant supervisor engine, which can act as a
backup if the first supervisor engine fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not
required, slot 2 is available for an OSM or other supported Catalyst 6000 family
modules.
For a detailed description of supervisor engine operation in a redundant
configuration, refer to the Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router Software
Configuration Guide.
