Route Switch Processors and Supervisor Engines
This chapter describes the route switch processors and supervisor engines supported on Cisco 7600 series routers and provides instructions for performing basic tasks on the modules. It contains the following sections:
•
RSP720 with 10GE Uplink Ports
•
Note
Overview
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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
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.
Note
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 Table 2-1).

Route Switch Processor 720
This section describes the Route Switch Processor 720 (RSP720). The Cisco 7600 RSP720 consists of a full-size board and two integrated daughter cards: the MSFC4 and a PFC3C or PFC3CXL. The RSP720 has an integrated switch fabric that interconnects all of the line cards in the Cisco 7600 router with point-to-point 20-Gbps full-duplex serial channels.
Note
The RSP720 is supported on all Cisco 7600 routers (including enhanced chassis) except the Cisco 7603 and the Cisco OSR-7609.•
Figure 2-1 shows the RSP720-3C-GE front panel, which is the same as the RSP720-3CXL-GE front panel. See Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 for information about the front-panel controls and LEDs.

•
RSP720 with 10GE Uplink Ports
Cisco IOS Release 12.2SRC introduces a new RSP720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) uplink ports (RSP720-10GE). The Cisco 7600 RSP720-10GE consists of a full-size board and two integrated daughter cards: an MSFC4 and a PFC. The RSP720-10GE has an integrated switch fabric that interconnects all of the line cards in the router with point-to-point 20-Gbps full-duplex serial channels.
Two versions of the RSP720-10GE module are available:
•
•
Because of physical differences between the RSP720 and RSP720-10GE (such as the CPU memory map and ASIC operation), there are several configuration guidelines and restrictions you should be aware of. See the "RSP720-10GE Usage Guidelines and Limitations" section for details.
Following are the total power requirements for the RSP720-10GE:
•
•
Figure 2-2 shows the RSP720-3C-10GE front panel. The RSP720-3CXL-10GE front panel is similar. See Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 for information about the front-panel controls and LEDs.

The RSP720-10GE provides all of the features of the RSP720 and also provides the following benefits:
•
Note

–
–
–
When all five uplink ports are operational, the total bandwidth for uplink traffic is 20 Gbps (20 GE).

RSP720-10GE Usage Guidelines and Limitations
Observe the following guidelines when using the RSP720-10GE:
•
•
•
–
–
•
QoS on the RSP720-10GE
The RSP720-10GE has both 10GE and 1GE uplink ports. You can configure the RSP720-10GE to run QoS features on all uplink ports (mixed mode) or on 10GE ports only. The number of queues available for QoS depends on which mode is used:
•
The QoS port architecture for 1GE port is (Rx/Tx): 2q8t/1p3q8t. The queue structure for 10GE ports in mixed mode is same as IGE ports : 2q8t/1p3q8t.
•
The QoS port architecture for 10GE only mode is (Rx/Tx): 8q8t/1p7q8t.
Note
For complete syntax and usage information for the command mls qos recirc untrust, refer to the Cisco QoS command reference at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/qos/command/reference/qos_book.html
QoS Configuration Guidelines
As you configure QoS on the RSP720-10GE, consider the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Configuring 10GE Only QoS
Cisco IOS Release 12.2SRC introduces a new command to enable QoS features on 10GE uplink ports only. By default, the router runs in mixed mode, which means that QoS is enabled on both the 10GE uplink ports and the 1GE uplink ports.

no mls qos supervisor 10g-only
Note
Supervisor Engine 2T
The Supervisor Engine 2T is the newest addition to the family of supervisor engines. The Supervisor Engine 2T is designed to deliver higher performance, better scalability, and enhanced hardware-enabled features. Supervisor Engine 2T integrates a high-performance 2-Terabit crossbar switch fabric that enables 80 Gbps switching capacity per slot on 7609-S chassis. The forwarding engine on Supervisor Engine 2T is capable of delivering high-performance forwarding for Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. Supervisor Engine 2T delivers many new hardware-enabled innovations in the areas of security, quality of service (QoS), virtualization, and manageability. The rich feature set of Supervisor Engine 2T enhances applications such as traditional IP forwarding, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs, and VPLS.
This section describes the Supervisor Engine 2T (see Figure 2-3). Table 2-2 describes the controls and features on the front panel, and Table 2-3 describes the LEDs.

Restarts the router. Use a ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the Reset button. Not all modules have a Reset button.
Disk SlotsOne slots for flash memory cards. Do not remove the card from the slot while the disk LED is on. See the "Using Flash Memory Cards" section for information about working with flash memory.
Provides access to the router. The port is an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control and an RJ-45 connector. See the "Connecting to the Console Port" section for instructions on connecting to the console port.
Connects the router to other network devices. SUP-2T has two 10GE and three 1GE uplink ports. The two 10GE ports use X2 as transceiver, and the three 1GE ports use SFP. The uplink ports are configurable with SFP or X2 optics modules. See the "Connecting to the Uplink Ports" section for more information.
Each USB port can function as a console port.
Directly connects to the network and copies IOS router image using the TFTP server. You can also use this port to network boot the system using the image on the TFTP server from rommon.

Primary Supervisor Engine 2T Components
Policy Feature Card 4
Supervisor Engine 2T features the integrated Policy Feature Card 4 (PFC4), which improves performance and scalability, and provides new and enhanced hardware features. The PFC4 is equipped with a high-performance ASIC complex that enables hardware acceleration for existing and new software features. The PFC4 supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, QoS, Netflow and ACL and multicast packet replication and processes security policies such as access control lists (ACLs) operations all simultaneously enabled with no performance impact. The PFC4 supports all of these operations for both IPv4 and IPv6.
PFC4 also provides enhanced performance and scalability and supports many new innovations such as native VPLS, flexible NetFlow, egress NetFlow, Cisco TrustSec, distributed policers, control plane policing, and comprehensive IPv6 features.
Multilayer Switch Feature Card 5
Supervisor Engine 2T features the Multilayer Switch Feature Card 5 (MSFC5), providing high-performance, multilayer switching and routing intelligence. Equipped with a high-performance processor, the MSFC5 runs both Layer 2 protocols and Layer 3 protocols on the dual-core CPU complex. These include routing protocol support, Layer 2 protocols (for example, Spanning Tree Protocol and VLAN Trunking Protocol), and security services.
The MSFC5 builds the Cisco Express Forwarding information base (FIB) table in software and then downloads this table to the hardware application-specific-integrated circuits (ASICs) on the PFC4 and Distributed Forwarding Card 4 (DFC4), if present on a module, which make the forwarding decisions for IP unicast and multicast traffic.
