What Is the Cisco 7000 Series?
The Cisco 7000 series includes the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers. The FEIP operates in the
Cisco 7000 series routers. (For software and hardware requirements, refer to the section "Software
and Hardware Prerequisites" on page 3.)
Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the FEIP, which are inserted
into interface processor slots and provide a direct connection between external networks and the
high-speed CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series. The Cisco 7000 series supports any combination of
available network interface types.
In the 7-slot Cisco 7000 (see Figure 3), slots 0 through 4 are for interface processors including the
FEIP.
