Installing an RP, PRP, or DRP Card
This section describes how to install a route processor (RP), performance route processor (PRP), or distributed route processor (DRP) card in the chassis.
Every Cisco CRS
Note A chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards should be of the same type (RP or PRP). If you are using the Cisco
Note For enhanced immunity to external electromagnetic disturbance levels of 10V per meter and 10 V RMS, you must use a shielded Ethernet (CAT5 or better STP) cable on the Management Ethernet connection of the RP card
Prerequisites
Because chassis operation may be impacted by the installation of a route processor card, perform these tasks only if one of the following conditions exists:
•When you are certain that the second RP in the chassis is operational and, if not already the active RP, ready to assume control (this happens automatically)
•When the chassis is undergoing scheduled maintenance
•When the Cisco CRS
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in interruptions in data communications and network connectivity.
