This document describes the Route Switch Processor (RSP8), an optional system processor for the

Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX and Cisco 7576 routers. The RSP8

significantly increases the performance for most protocols and services over the RSP2 and RSP4/RSP4+.

The RSP8 supports the high system availability (HSA) feature, which allows two RSP8s (or an RSP8

and an RSP16) to be used in a Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX router. See

the

"Configuring High System Availability" section on page 25

The RSP8 also supports high availability (HA), a series of features that operates similarly to HSA, but

which further minimizes system downtime. (HSA is the system default.) For more information on HA,

see the

Page 18 8. The RSP8 is keyed for installation only in an RSP slot. By default, the active RSP is the one that occupies the first RSP slot in the router: slot 2 in the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX, and slot 6 in the Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7513-MX.
Page 19 Figure 4 Handling the RSP8 During Removal and Installation To prevent damage to the backplane, you must install the RSP8 in one of the two RSP slots on the router. Caution The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing the RSP8 into a different slot can damage the backplane and the RSP8.
Page 20: Connecting A Console Terminal
Connecting to the Auxiliary Port The auxiliary port on the RSP8 is a DB-25 plug DTE port for connecting a modem or other DCE device (such as a channel service unit [CSU], data service unit [DSU], or other router) to the router. The port is located next to the console port on the RSP8 and is labeled AUX.
Page 21: Restarting The System
The console terminal is turned on and is connected to the console port. • Observe the RSP8 LEDs. While the system initializes, the CPU halt LED on the RSP8 stays on. It goes Step 2 off when the boot process is complete. As the RSP8 initializes each interface processor, the status LEDs on each interface processor go on and off in irregular sequence.
Page 22 Slave in slot 3 is halted. Step 4 With a single RSP8 (non-HSA or non-HA), verify that the console terminal displays the system banner and startup screen as the system restarts. The display should look similar to the following: System Bootstrap, Version 11.1, RELEASED SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 1986-1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Page 25 When two new RSP8s (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) are installed at the same time, the RSP that occupies the first even RSP slot on the router is the active (normally the RSP16 if the RSP8 is used in conjunction with the RSP16), and the RSP that occupies the odd RSP slot is the standby.

Step 3 The CPU halt LED always turns on during initial power-up of an RSP8 and remains on for approximately one-half second, then turns off. If it remains on during the startup sequence, the system has encountered a processor hardware error.

You can also use the copy running-config slot0:config-file command to save the configuration file to Flash memory, and then use the copy slot0:config-file nvram:startup-config command to restore it.
Page 71: Copying The Configuration File
Copying the Configuration File Before you copy (save) the running configuration to a TFTP file server, ensure the following: You have a connection to the router either with a console terminal connected to the RSP8 console • port or remotely through a Telnet session.
Page 72 89 This completes the procedure for copying the configuration file. Route Switch Processor (RSP8) Installation and Configuration Guide 16. If you are unable to copy the configuration to a remote for instructions on contacting Cisco Systems for technical support.
Page 73 You can access the router through a console terminal attached to the RSP8 console port, or you can Telnet to the router from a remote terminal.
Page 74 To prevent system problems, do not use DRAM single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) from an RSP2 Caution in an RSP8. The RSP8 requires DRAM dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). Do not mix memory sizes. If installing two DIMMs, both DIMMs must be the same size. If your router Note includes redundant RSPs, the RSPs should have the same memory size.
Page 75 MEM-RSP8-256M= 1. Do not mix memory sizes. If installing two DIMMs, both DIMMs must be the same size. 2. The RSP8 default DRAM configuration is 64 MB. The RSP8 ships with either two 32-MB DIMMS or one 64-MB DIMM. Caution To prevent system and memory problems when you install DRAM, the RSP8 DRAM DIMMS must be 3.3V devices.
Page 76: Removing Dimms
Use this procedure to remove the existing DIMMs: Turn off the system power and follow the steps in the Step 1 Place the RSP8 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as Step 2 a wrist strap.
Page 77 This completes the procedure for installing DRAM DIMMs. Proceed to the following section to check the installation.
