The Cisco 12404 Internet router scales the Internet and enterprise backbones to
speeds of OC-3/STM-1 (155 Mbps), OC-12/STM-4 (622 Mbps), OC-48/STM-16
(2.4 Gbps), and OC-192/STM (10 Gbps).
The Cisco 12404 Internet router has one fabric alarm, RP, and line card cage.
The RP and line card cage has four user-configurable slots that support a
combination of three line cards and one RP or two RPs and two line cards.
Network interfaces reside on the line cards that provide connection between the
router’s CSF and the external networks.
The bottom slot labelled FABRIC ALARM in the RP and line card cage is a
dedicated slot for the card containing the switch fabric, alarm, and clock scheduler
functions.
