Product Description

What is the Cisco 7000 Series?

Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, which provide a direct connection

between your external network and the high speed Cisco Extended Bus (CxBus) in the Cisco 7000

series routers, and the CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series routers.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the rear of the Cisco 7000 series routers: the seven-slot Cisco 7000 and

the ﬁve-slot Cisco 7010. Access to the processor slots and the removable power supplies is from the

rear, as shown. Two slots are reserved for the Route Processor (RP), which contains the system

processor, and the Switch Processor (SP) (or Silicon Switch Processor [SSP]), which performs

packet switching functions. The remaining slots support any combination of network interface types:

channel attachment, serial, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, multichannel interface, Token Ring, Fiber

Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), or High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI).
