Cisco 7500 Series Router Architecture
“DATA NETWORK” FOR JTOs PH-II : Cisco Router
Cisco 7500 Series Router Architecture 1.1
Product Overview
Cisco 7500 series is Cisco`s premier high-end platform of data, voice and video routers, which includes the Cisco 7505, the Cisco 7507, and the Cisco 7513. These systems combine Cisco Systems` proven software technology with exceptional reliability, availability, serviceability, and performance features to meet the requirements of today`s most mission-critical internetworks. Cisco 7505 features a high-speed Cisco Extended Bus (CyBus); the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 feature dual CyBuses. Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, which provide a direct connection between the CyBus and the external network, and support any combination of ATM, multichannel T3, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, IBM channel attachment, multichannel E1 and T1, HSSI, synchronous serial, Token Ring, Packet OC-3, Packet OC-12 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. • • •
The Cisco 7505 contains five slots (one slot for the Route Switch Processor (RSP), and four slots for interface processors). Cisco 7507 contains seven slots (two slots for RSPs, and five slots for interface processors). The Cisco 7513 contains thirteen slots (two slots for RSPs, and eleven slots for interface processors).
Cisco 7500 series runs Cisco IOS software, the industry-leading networking software. Cisco IOS software assures robust, reliable internetworks by supporting both LAN and WAN protocols, optimizing WAN services, and controlling internetwork access. 1.2
Features of the Cisco 7500 series: • • • • •
1.3
Online software reconfiguration — Enables software configuration changes to occur without rebooting or interrupting network applications and services. Online insertion and removal (OIR) — Allows seamless upgrades to new interface processors without rebooting or taking the system off-line. Fast boot — Enables the system to come online quickly (35 seconds is typical) after software upgrades, minimizing impact on the network. Optional dual-redundant power supply systems (for Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 only) — Extend individual power supplies by load sharing. Flash memory — Enables fast, reliable software and microcode updates. Options for Cisco 7500 Series

Route Switch Processors
A Cisco 7500 series system requires at least one Route Switch Processor (RSP), which can be ordered in three ways: as part of an initial system, as a spare, or as an upgrade. The RSP can be ordered with your choice of 32, 64, or 128 MB DRAM and one or two Flash memory cards, which are available in 16 and 20 MB densities. The price of an RSP includes 32 MB of DRAM and a 16 MB Flash memory card. 2.2.1 RSP2 The RSP2 is the base system processor module for the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513. The RSP2 contains the system CPU and system memory components. It maintains and executes the management functions that control the system. The RSP2 supports the high system availability (HSA) feature, which allows two RSP2s to be used in a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 router. By default, the system master is the RSP2 that occupies the first RSP slot in the chassis: slot 2 in the Cisco 7507, and slot 6 in the Cisco 7513. BRBRAITT March-2007

“DATA NETWORK” FOR JTOs PH-II : Cisco Router Cisco IOS images reside in Flash memory, which is located either on a SIMM on the RSP2; or on as many as two Flash memory cards. Storing Cisco IOS images in Flash memory allows you to download and boot from upgraded images remotely. This eliminates the need to remove and replace ROM devices for software updates.

Flash Memory Cards
In Cisco 7500 series routers, Flash memory cards can be used to store and boot Cisco IOS images and/or system configurations. A Cisco 7500 series router can also be used as a TFTP server, with the Flash card memory used to store other files such as software and microcode images for other systems. Cisco recommends using one card for image storage and another for configurations. The number of system images that can be stored on the card depends both on the Flash card size and the file size. The Flash memory card is available in 16, 20 or 32 MB densities, and conforms with Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) format. •
2.4
The Flash memory card shipped with a Cisco 7500 system contain a software image; the same Flash memory card ordered as a spare is shipped blank and Program
Power Supplies
The Cisco 7507, Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 support dual power supplies. (This option is not available for the Cisco 7505.) The optional additional power supply system provides dual load-sharing for protection against system interruption if one power supply system or one source of power fails. Note Both dual power supplies must be AC-input or DC-input. The routers do not support mixed power supply types.
