Cisco CRS-1 Multishelf System Overview

The multishelf system enables multiple Cisco CRS-1 LCCs to act as a single system. This release of the multishelf system supports two 16-slot LCCs and one, two, or four fabric card chassis (FCCs) to provide a total switching capacity of up to 1.28 terabits per second (Tbps). Two external Cisco Catalyst switches provide control-plane connectivity between the chassis.
