KEY FEATURES High-performance distributed switching - This feature delivers high performance for mission-critical applications by supporting high-speed media and high-density configurations. Using the processing capabilities of the Versatile Interface Processors (VIP) and distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (dcef), the Cisco 7500 Series router system capacity can exceed two million packets per second (pps). Full support for Cisco IOS Software and enhancements for high-performance, feature-rich IP network services - The Cisco 7500 Series router performs network services such as quality of service (QoS) at high speed. VIP technology extends the performance of these features through distributed IP services. High port density and unmatched interface flexibility - The Cisco 7500 Series router provides high port density and an extensive range of LAN and WAN interfaces (port adapters). These features dramatically reduce the cost per port and allow for a flexible configuration. High availability - Enhanced features and capabilities include redundant route processors and power supplies, software fault isolation, and failover capabilities. A distributed architecture using Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs) is the key to the Cisco 7500's scalability. Each VIP has its own processor, which is capable of switching IP data packets and providing network services. This scenario allows the overall system performance of Cisco 7500 routers to scale up when they need to handle more high-speed network connections and more data packets. The RSP is still the master of the system. It runs routing protocols with other routers in the network to gather switching intelligence, which is then downloaded to the VIPs so that each can switch IP packets on its own. 7500 Series Models Model 7507 7513 Size 1/3 1/2 Slots 7 13 Switching Capacity 2.134 Gbps 2.134 Gbps VIII. 7300 Series The Cisco 7300 Series is optimized for flexible, feature rich IP/MPLS services at the network edge, where service providers and enterprises link together.
