Chapter 2 Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines
RSP720 with 10GE Uplink Ports
•High-availability features such as NonStop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO) and In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) are not supported. Only Route Processor Redundancy (RPR) mode is supported.
•The uplinks on the standby RSP720-10GE are not active. This restriction exists because the uplink ports must perform lookups on the active RSP, which is not possible in RPR mode.
•Intelligent Service Gateway is not supported.
•Device authentication to prevent counterfeiting
•Keystore controller for key authentication
•Virtual switch functionality
RSP720-10GE Usage Guidelines and Limitations
Observe the following guidelines when using the RSP720-10GE:
•The RSP720-10GE runs the same Cisco IOS software images as the RSP720. The following software image feature sets are available for the RSP720-10GE: ipservices, ipservicesk9, advipservices, advipservicesk9, and adventerprisek9.
•Line cards require new firmware to operate with the RSP720-10GE. If a line card does not have the correct firmware, an error message is displayed on boot-up and the line card is powered off.
•The RSP720-10GE uses new ROMMON software for both the SP and RP. Because the RSP720-10GE and RSP720 use a different IO memory map, the RSPs cannot share the same ROMMON software.
–If you attempt to load RSP720 ROMMON software onto the RSP720-10GE, the RSP720-10GE does not power up and the ROMMON banner is not displayed.
–If you load RSP720-10GE ROMMON software onto the RSP720, Cisco IOS software boots up but the software detects a mismatch and enters ROMMON mode.
•You can configure the RSP720-10GE to run QoS features on all uplink ports (10GE and 1GE) or on 10GE ports only. A new CLI command (mls qos supervisor 10g-only) is available to configure the module to run QoS features on 10GE ports only. QoS operates differently in each mode. See the “QoS on the RSP720-10GE” section on page 2-10for more information.
QoS on the RSP720-10GE
The RSP720-10GE has both 10GE and 1GE uplink ports. You can configure the RSP720-10GE to run QoS features on all uplink ports (mixed mode) or on 10GE ports only. The number of queues available for QoS depends on which mode is used:
•In mixed mode (10GE and 1GE ports), the default, only four queues are available for QoS. The QoS port architecture for 1GE ports is (Rx/Tx): 2q8t/1p3q8t.
