Memory
components
•Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) on the
supervisor engine or route switch processor stores module-specific
information, such as the serial number, part number, controller type,
hardware revision, configuration information, and other details unique to
each module.
•NVRAM for storing configuration information.
•DRAM for default system software.
•Internal flash memory—To store the boot image. The defaults are:
•The RSP720 SP/RP and the Sup32 SP contain a CompactFlash (CF)
adapter that provides 512 MB of internal flash memory.
•The Sup720 SP/RP, Sup32 RP, and Sup2 SP/RP contain 32-MB or
64-MB of internal flash memory. Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXF and
later releases support the CF
adapter as an orderable option (Cisco part
number CF-ADAPTER=) for these Sups. 1
Chapter 1 Cisco 7600 Product Overview
NoteIn the command-line-interface (CLI), you access internal flash memory
as bootdisk (CF adapter) or bootflash (non-CF adatper). When you
install a CF adapter on the Sup720, Sup32, or Sup2, bootflash becomes
an alias to bootdisk.
•External flash memory—To store and run software images and configuration
files or to serve as an input/output (I/O) device. You can install 64-MB,
128-MB, 256-MB, or 512-MB flash memory cards, or 1-GB MicroDrive card,
in slots on the supervisor engine or RSP front panel.
The Sup2 supports PCMCIA flash memory cards only. It does not support
CompactFlash or MicroDrive cards.
•Flash file system—Flash memory contains a file system. You can use a
variety of commands to manage the file system (such as cd, pwd, dir, and
delete). The file system includes the following devices:
–
Onboard bootflash/bootdisk
–
Flash memory slot
Component hot
swapping
All components (including optional redundant modules and fans) support hot
swapping, which allows you to add, replace, or remove components without
interrupting the system power or causing other software or interfaces to shut down.
Management •CLI through the console port or Telnet
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
1. For information on how to install a CF adapter, see the instructions at:

Chapter 1 Cisco 7600 Product Overview
Port Addresses
Each port (or interface) in the Cisco 7600 series router has several different types of addresses. The
physical interface address is the actual physical location (slot and port) of the interface connector within
the chassis. The system software uses the physical addresses to control activity within the router and to
display status information. These physical slot and port addresses are not used by other devices in the
network; they are specific to the individual router and its internal components and software. For more
information, see the
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a standardized data link layer address that is required for
every port or device that connects to a network. Other devices in the network use MAC addresses to
locate specific ports in the network and to create and update routing tables and data structures. Routers
use a unique method, described in the
MAC addresses of their interfaces.
Physical Interface Addresses
Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each port on every module in the router,
as shown in
example, 1/1, 1/2, 2/1, 2/2, and so on):
•Slot—Identifies the slot in which the module is installed. Depending on the router layout, the slots
are numbered from top to bottom or right to left starting with
Figure 1-1. The port address is a two-part number in the format slot/port number (for
“Physical Interface Addresses” section on page 1-5.
Port Addresses
“MAC Addresses” section on page 1-6, to assign and control the
1 (1/n, 2/n, and so on).
–
On horizontal-oriented chassis (such as the Cisco 7606 and Cisco 7613 routers), slots are
numbered from top to bottom.
–
On vertical-oriented chassis (such as the Cisco 7609 router), slots are numbered from right to left.
•Port nu m b e r—Identifies the physical port number on the module. Port numbers always begin at 1
(n/1, n/2, and so on).
–
On horizontal-oriented modules, ports are numbered from left to right.
–
On vertical-oriented modules, ports are numbered from top to bottom.

Chapter 1 Cisco 7600 Product Overview
The supervisor engine and route switch processor have two or more uplink ports (numbered n/1, n/2, and
so on). The Supervisor Engine 32 (WS-SUP32-GE-3B) has nine uplink ports, numbered n/1 to n/9.
In some cases, a single port supports two different types of connectors (for example, Port 2 on the
Supervisor Engine 720 supports a Gigabit Ethernet SFP module or a 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45
connector). However, only one of the two options can be active at a time.
MAC Addresses
All network interface connections (ports) require a unique MAC address. The MAC address of an
interface is stored in electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) on a component
that resides directly on the interface circuitry. The router system code reads the EEPROM for each
interface in the system, learns the MAC addresses, and then initializes appropriate hardware and data
structures. Each VLAN in the spanning tree has one unique MAC address. This addressing scheme
enables the router to identify the state (connected or not connected) of each interface. When you hot
swap a module, the MAC address changes with the module.

Overview
Overview
Chapter 2 Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines
The supervisor engine or route switch processor (RSP) is a module that is installed in one of the card
slots in the router. The supervisor engine or RSP provides switching and local and remote management
for the router and also contains the uplink ports for the router. Both types of modules (supervisor engine
and RSP) perform the same functions in the router.
Cisco 7600 series routers support the following types of RSPs and supervisor engines:
•Route Switch Processor 720—Supported on all chassis (including enhanced) except the Cisco 7603
router and the Cisco OSR-7609. Available in Cisco
•RSP720-10GE (with 10GE uplink ports)—Supported on the Cisco 7604 and 7609 routers and
the
Cisco 7603-S, 7606-S, and 7609-S routers (enhanced chassis). Available in Cisco IOS
Release
•Supervisor Engine 720—Supported on all Cisco 7600 series routers.
•Supervisor Engine 32—Supported on all but the Cisco 7603 router.
•Supervisor Engine 2—Supported on all but the Cisco 7613 router. The Supervisor Engine 2 is no
longer supported in Cisco
12.2SRC and later releases.
IOS Release 12.2SRA and later releases.
IOS Release 12.2SRB and later releases.
Although the router can operate with a single supervisor engine or RSP, you can also install a second
redundant module (of the same type) in the chassis. Only one module is active at a time. The second
module acts as a “standby,” serving as a backup if the active module fails.
NoteIf the system does not include a redundant supervisor engine or RSP, you can install another type of
module in the slot reserved for the redundant supervisor engine or RSP.
The supervisor engine or RSP contains the following integrated daughter cards that perform forwarding and
routing and provide the protocols supported on the router. Several configurations of daughter cards are
supported (as shown in
•Policy Feature Card (PFC) is the forwarding plane and does the following:
–
Performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding.
–
Enforces access control list (ACL) functions.
–
Performs policing and marking for quality of service (QoS) traffic.
–
Collects Netflow statistics.
NoteA high-capacity (XL) PFC is also available. The XL version (PFC3BXL or PFC3CXL)
Tabl e 2-1).
provides more memory for more routing table and netflow cache capacity than a PFC.
It
allows routing and forwarding processes to be offloaded from the supervisor engine or
RSP to the PFC, thus increasing the performance of the supervisor engine or RSP.
2-2
•Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) is the control plane and does the following:
–
Performs routing for the chassis. The MSFC contains the route processor (RP) and
switch
processor (SP) for the router.
–
Runs Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols, such as the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and others.
For
information about supported protocols, see the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide and the release notes for the software version running on the router.
