RSP720 with 10GE Uplink Ports

Cisco IOS Release 12.2SRC introduces a new RSP720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) uplink ports (RSP720-10GE). The Cisco 7600 RSP720-10GE consists of a full-size board and two integrated daughter cards: an MSFC4 and a PFC. The RSP720-10GE has an integrated switch fabric that interconnects all of the line cards in the router with point-to-point 20-Gbps full-duplex serial channels.

Two versions of the RSP720-10GE module are available:

•RSP720-3C-10GE

•RSP720-3CXL-10GE

Because of physical differences between the RSP720 and RSP720-10GE (such as the CPU memory map and ASIC operation), there are several configuration guidelines and restrictions you should be aware of. See the “RSP720-10GE Usage Guidelines and Limitations” section on page 2-10for details.

Following are the total power requirements for the RSP720-10GE:

•RSP720-3C-10GE = 355 watts (total power)

•RSP720-3CXL-10GE = 378 watts (total power)

Figure 2-2shows the RSP720-3C-10GE front panel. The RSP720-3CXL-10GE front panel is similar. See Table 2-2and Table 2-3for information about the front-panel controls and LEDs.

RSP720-10GE Features

The RSP720-10GE provides all of the features of the RSP720 and also provides the following benefits:

•The RSP720-10GE has two 10GE uplink ports and three 1GE uplink ports. You can use the 10GE ports as high-bandwidth uplinks and save chassis slots for high-density interfaces, such as a SIP/SPA. This is especially useful in smaller chassis and in redundant configurations. For the three 1GE uplink ports, two ports support 1-Gbps SFP modules and one port supports a 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 connector.

Note Use CAT5 Shielded Twisted Pair cable at the port that supports the10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 connector.

•The RSP720-10GE supports the following line rates for uplink traffic and backplane forwarding:
