Router Overview

The Cisco XR 12404 router scales the Internet Service Provider edge from speeds of T3/E3 (44.7/34.4 Mbps) up to OC-192/STM-64 or 10GE (10 Gbps).

Figure 1-1shows the PRP-2, consolidated switch fabric (CSF) card, and line card locations of the Cisco XR 12404 router. Network interfaces reside on the line cards that provide the connection between the router’s CSF and the external networks. The bottom slot (labeled Fabric Alarm) is a dedicated slot for the combined CSF card.
