This document discusses the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000), which is a new main processor module for the Cisco 7000 series routers: the Cisco 7000 and the Cisco 7010. The RSP7000 combines all of the switched routing and high-speed switching functions required by the Cisco 7000 series routers. (Refer to the section “What Is the RSP7000?” on page 3.)

The RSP7000 requires that your Cisco 7000 series router is running Cisco Internetwork Operating

System (Cisco IOS) Release 10.3(9), or later, Release 11.0(6), or later, or Release 11.1(1) or later.

Caution Using the RSP7000 in your Cisco 7000 series router might require that some currently installed interface processors be upgraded to speciﬁc, compatible hardware versions; otherwise, error messages and erratic system behavior might result. You can use the show diag command to see which interface processors in your system need this hardware upgrade. For a complete list of the potentially affected interface processors, their required hardware versions, and information on upgrading your affected interface processors, refer to the document Verifying Interface Processor Compatibility with the Cisco 7500 Series Investment Protection Program (IPP), Document Number 78-2077-xx, where xx refers to the latest version of this document.
