Chassis—The hardware frame of the Cisco 12000/10720 Router,	Command Log
which houses all subchassis objects (modules).	Configuration

	RPR Status
GRP (Gigabit Route Processor)—There can be up to two GRPs in	Configuration
a chassis. The primary GRP is the CPU or “brains” of the router.	Fault Management
The secondary GRP is redundant.	Inventory
	Performance
Line Cards—There are various types of line cards within a chassis	Configuration
(for example, ATM, Ethernet, SRP, POS, E3, DS3 and Modular	Fault Management
Ethernet). Each of these line cards holds a given number of	Inventory
physical interfaces (ports).
Physical Interfaces—Each line card has at least one, if not	Profile
multiple, physical interfaces (ports). The type of physical interface	Configuration
is equivalent to the type of line card the interface resides on. Each	Fault Management
physical interface can support multiple technologies (for details,	Performance
see “Physical Interfaces and Technologies” section on page 2-5)	Status
The line card type determines what specific technologies are
supported by an interface.
Supporting Modules—Additional subchassis cards and modules:	Configuration
the switch fabric card (SFC), clock scheduler card (CSC), AC or	Fault Management
DC power supply module, blower module, and fan tray module.	Inventory

Note The Cisco 10720 chassis does not support the Configuration Editor.

The physical objects and interfaces displayed in Table 2-1are traced as follows:

•The chassis contains the GRPs, supporting modules, and all line cards

•The line cards contain the physical interfaces.
