Ethernet Ports

The PRP includes two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, each using an 8-pin RJ-45 receptacle for either IEEE

802.3 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) or IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) connections.

The PRP-2 includes a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, which uses the above connections and also a

802.3 Gigabit Ethernet connection.

The PRP-3 includes two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port, which also uses the above connections and

also a 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet connection.

The transmission speed of the Ethernet ports is auto-sensing by default and is user configurable.

Note

Hard Disk Drive

The PRP-2 optionally includes a 40-GB hard disk drive (HDD) that is installed on the PRP-2 board.

The PRP-3 provides an 80-GB hard disk drive (HDD) that is installed on the PRP-3 board.

Hard disk drives that are not from Cisco are not supported.

Note

CompactFlash Disk

The PRP-2 optionally includes a 1-GB CompactFlash disk that is installed on the PRP-2 board.

PRP-2 and PRP-3 compactflashes are not compatible with each other and hence PRP-2 compactflash

Warning

cannot be used in PRP-3 and vice versa. PRP-3 uses Multiword DMA to access the compactflash device,

a PRP-2 compactflash does not support this access type.

The PRP-3 board includes a default 2-GB internal CompactFlash and a 2-GB external compact flash. In

PRP-3, the external compact flash replaces the PCMCIA slots of PRP-2.

CompactFlash that are not from Cisco are not supported.
