What Is the Cisco 7500 Series?

The Cisco 7500 series includes the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 routers. The FEIP operates in the Cisco 7500 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 CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series. The Cisco 7500 series supports any combination of available network interface types.

In the 5-slot Cisco 7505 (see Figure 5), slots 0 through 3 are for interface processors including the FEIP.
