Cisco 7513-MX Overview
The Cisco 7513-MX router supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. Network interfaces reside on interface processors that provide a direct connection between the two CyBuses in the Cisco 7513-MX and your external networks. The Cisco 7513-MX has 13 slots: interface processor slots 0 through 5, Route Switch Processor (RSP2, RSP4/4+, RSP8, or RSP16) slots 6 and 7, and interface processor slots 8 through 12. The Cisco 7513-MX supports 11 VIPs, one for each interface processor slot.
There are bays for up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies. The chassis will operate with one power supply. Although a second power supply is not required, it allows load sharing and increased system availability.
Caution Because of agency compliance and safety issues, mixing AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same Cisco 7513-MX is not a supported configuration and should not be attempted. Doing so might cause damage.
The Cisco 7513-MX is shown in Figure 1-13. The three front-panel LEDs indicate system and power supply status, and LEDs on the RSP, interface processors, and power supplies indicate status.
