EOL: Cisco 7000 Series

Product Overview

Hardware for the Cisco 7000 series includes processors, interface processors, serial cables, memory, a second power supply (Cisco 7000 only), and accessories. Table 18-4 lists hardware option product numbers for the Cisco 7000 series.

Key Features and Benefits

Specifications

Processors

The standard system requires one Route Processor and one Switch Processor (or Silicon Switch Processor). An upgraded RSP7000 system requires one 7000 series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and one 7000 series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). Processors can be ordered in two ways: as spares or as upgrades.

Processor Upgrade Kit

Cisco offers the RSP7000, which is available as an upgrade kit for existing Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 systems. The RSP7000 significantly increases the performance for most features and protocols and provides a migration path that enables Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 systems to take advantage of advanced VIP features.

The RSP7000 upgrade consists of the following:

• Upgrade instructions (included in upgrade kit)

• RSP7000 (included in upgrade kit)

• RSP7000CI (included in upgrade kit)

• PCMCIA Flash memory card (8 MB is the default if not specified)

These software licenses and boards replace existing Cisco 7000 software licenses, RP boards, and SP/SSP boards, all of which are returned to Cisco for a credit.

The RSP7000 has the same interface processor compatibility requirements as the Cisco 7500 series router. To determine if your interface processor boards are compatible with the RSP7000, see "Verifying Interface Processor Compatibility" section in the "Interface Processors for the Cisco 7000 Family" chapter. Cisco offers a program to upgrade noncompatible Cisco 7500 series interface processor boards. If needed, refer to the "Investment Protection Program" section in the "Interface Processors for the Cisco 7000 Family" chapter.

When you order the upgrade kit, specify the following:

• A Flash memory card (A 16 MB card is the default.)

• RSP DRAM (See "DRAM Guidelines" later in this chapter.)

• One of the Cisco 7500 feature sets listed in the "Cisco IOS Software" chapter.

Flash Memory Cards

In the Cisco 7000 series, Flash memory cards allow you to download a software image into Flash memory, save backup software images, and copy files. Flash memory card options depend on the processor (RP or RSP7000) installed in your router.

RP Flash Memory Cards

The RP requires a PCMCIA Flash memory card for Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later. The card allows you to download Release 11.0 into Flash memory, save backup software images, and copy files.

The Flash memory card inserts into the PCMICA slot on the RP board. The following purchase scenarios explain how to use the Cisco 7000 series router Flash memory card:

• Upgrading an existing router to Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later with a Flash memory card:

• • MEM-RP-FLC8M= or MEM-RP-FLC16M=

  • SWR-G7-11.0= (software ROMs—sold as spare or free for SMARTnet customers)

  • Note that in order to boot from the Flash memory card, you must update ROMs one time to Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later

• Upgrading an existing router to Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later without a Flash memory card:

• • SWR-G7-11.0 (software ROMs—free for SMARTnet customers)

  • You will need to change ROMs every time you want a software upgrade to an image that exceeds the 4-MB onboard Flash memory

  • Note that to boot from the Flash memory card, you must update ROMs one time for Cisco IOS Release 11.0 or later

• Upgrading an existing router with Cisco IOS Release 11.0 software without PCMCIA Flash memory to Cisco IOS software with PCMCIA Flash memory. In this scenario, you buy Cisco IOS Release 11.0 and want to upgrade to Release 11.1 (you already have 11.0 ROMs, but do not have Flash memory).

• • MEM-RP-FLC8M= or MEM-RP-FLC16M=

  • Software on diskette (SW-G7-xxxx) or from a TFTP server

RSP7000 Flash Memory Cards

In an RSP7000 system, Flash memory cards can be used to store and boot Cisco IOS images and/or system configurations. A Cisco 7000 series router with the RSP7000 option can also be used as a TFTP server, with the Flash memory used to store other files such as software and microcode images for other systems. Cisco recommends using one card for image storage and another for configurations. The number of system images that can be stored on the card depends on both the Flash memory card size and the file size.

The RSP7000 Flash memory card is available in 8-, 16-, or 20-MB densities. The card is an Intel Series 2+ Flash memory card, which conforms with PCMCIA format. The Flash memory card that is shipped with the RSP7000 contains a software image; the same Flash memory card ordered as a spare is shipped blank and must be formatted before use.

RSP7000 Memory Options

By default, the RSP7000 is shipped with 32 MB of DRAM. Refer to the following table for DRAM size recommendations based on the size of your network. Then, consult with your Cisco system engineer to determine the recommended DRAM configuration for your unique network.

DRAM Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when ordering DRAM for the Cisco 7000 series:

• For the RSP7000, DRAM is contained in four SIMM slots (two banks of two SIMMs each).

• For the RSP7000, bank 0 must be greater than or equal to bank 1.

• Do not mix DRAM sizes within a bank.

Refer to for DRAM size requirements for a Cisco 7000 series router running Cisco IOS Release 11.2 and 11.1.

Refer to Table 18-3 for default SIMM configurations for the RSP7000. These factory defaults are designed so that your initial order can be easily upgraded.

32 MB of DRAM is shipped with the RSP7000 as the default. Although some small network configurations might be able to run with 24 MB of DRAM, the standard 32 MB is recommended.

Small networks efficiently support fewer than 2000 IP routes.

Medium networks efficiently support 2000 to 10,000 IP routes.

Large networks efficiently support more than 10,000 IP routes.

32 MB of DRAM is shipped with the RSP7000 as the default. Although the minimum DRAM sizes in this table are 16 MB to 24 MB, the standard 32 MB is recommended.

VIP2 requires Cisco IOS Release 11.1(5) and later releases.

Interface Processors

Interface processors and interface processor cables for the Cisco 7000 series are described in the "Interface Processors for the Cisco 7000 Family" chapter. For cable illustrations, see the "Cables and Transceivers" chapter later in the catalog.

Power Supplies

The Cisco 7000 supports dual power supplies. (This option is not available for the Cisco 7010.) The optional additional power supply system provides dual load-sharing for protection against system interruption if one power supply system or one source of power fails.

When you order an AC-input power supply as a spare, choose the appropriate product numbers to specify the type of power cord to be included in the order. Note that the Cisco 7000 power supply is the same as the Cisco 7507 power supply; the Cisco 7010 power supply is the same as the Cisco 7505 power supply. See the following table for the product numbers to order Cisco 7000 series power supplies.

Spare Accessories

Several spare accessories are available for the Cisco 7000 series including a rack-mount kit and the following spares: LED board, panel, arbiter, air filter, and blank carrier. See Table 18-4 for the product numbers to order Cisco 7000 series spare accessories.

Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 Trade-in Program

Cisco is committed to protecting your investment in its products. The Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 Trade-in Program provides a migration path for you to trade in your Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers to Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, or Cisco 7513 routers. The program also allows you to trade in existing interface processors for new VIP2 models. The details of the program, tools for quoting a trade-in, and order examples are provided in this section. The program is scheduled to run from February 1, 1997 through January 31, 1998 under the conditions outlined in this section. Cisco anticipates that the program will continue after this date; however, the financial terms are likely to be modified lower after this date.

This program is designed to offer flexible alternatives, attractive trade-in terms, and unparalleled choices to migrate from Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers to newer, more powerful Cisco 7500 series routers. The Cisco 7500 series offers a two to four times improvement in performance; a two- to three-fold increase in port density; all the connectivity options available on the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 today; and plans for future technology options such as tag switching, RSVP, and compression. End-of-sales for the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 is effective July 31,1997.

Following is a description of the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 Trade-in Program:

• You must trade in a Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7010 chassis on a one-for-one basis for a Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, or Cisco 7513 chassis, and purchase Cisco IOS software for the Cisco 7500 series router.

• You can trade in an interface processor on a one-for-one basis for a new VIP2, or you can use an existing interface processor in the new Cisco 7500 chassis, using the Interface Processor Program if needed. (The Interface Processor Program updates interface processors to the current hardware revision needed for operation in Cisco 7500 routers. This program applies to some EIPs, FSIPs, and FIPs shipped before 1 January 1997, and to some AIPs shipped before 1 March 1995. Details of this program are available on Cisco`s website at http://www.cisco.com.)

• When you trade in your Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7010 chassis, you will receive a credit value based on what you are trading in; the credit is deducted from the total list price of the new Cisco 7500 series order. Your standard discount is then applied to determine the final net price.

• If you trade in an interface processor for a VIP2, you can choose any type of port adapter offered for the VIP2. This allows you to migrate from one network interface to another, if needed, for your network.

• You can apply your credit toward any configuration; however, the number of chassis traded in must equal the number of new chassis purchased, and the number of interface processors traded in must equal the number of VIP2s purchased.

• This program is worldwide in scope and is available through Cisco sales representatives and partners. Please contact your local Cisco sales representative or distributor for more information on the ordering and logistics of this program.

• The product number for the Trade-In Program is TRADEIN-7000.
