6 Token Ring Interface Processor (TRIP) Installation and Configuration
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).
