Chapter 2 Processor Cards Feature Summary

Multiservice Route Processor Card

Feature Summary

Key features and benefits of the MRP include the following:

•Digital signal processor (DSP) support—Supports up to ten DSPs; each DSP can handle multiple voice channels, depending on the codec complexity.

•Interface cards support—The MRP architecture incorporates VIC, WIC, and VWIC cards, a RAM memory expansion slot, packet voice data module (PVDM) slots, and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) module slot.

•Internet and intranet access—Cisco IOS software features enable the MRP to communicate across both intranets and the Internet:

–Multiprotocol routing (IP, Internetwork Packet Exchange [IPX], and AppleTalk), IBM/SNA, and transparent bridging over ISDN, asynchronous serial, and synchronous serial such as leased lines, Frame Relay, Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS), Switched 56, and X.25

–WAN optimization, including dial-on-demand routing (DDR), bandwidth-on-demand (BOD) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)-on-demand circuit, snapshot routing, compression, filtering, and spoofing

•Network security features—Access control lists (ACLs), user authentication, authorization, and accounting (such as Password Authentication Protocol/Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol [PAP/CHAP], TACACS+, and RADIUS), and data encryption.

•Internal LAN security—Integrated Cisco IOS Firewall Feature Set uses context-based access control (CBAC) to protect internal LANs from attacks.

•External data security—IPSec tunneling with Data Encryption Standard (DES) and Triple DES (3DES) encryption provide standards-based data privacy, integrity, and authenticity as data travels through a public network.

•Remote access security—For remote access VPNs, Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) combine with IP Security (IPSec) encryption to provide a secure multiprotocol solution (for IP, IPX, and AppleTalk traffic).

•QoS capabilities—Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), weighted fair queuing (WFQ), committed access rate (CAR), and IP precedence enable businesses to prioritize traffic on their networks by user, application, traffic type, and other parameters.
