With a forwarding rate of up to 400-Mpps distributed and 720-Gbps total throughput, the Cisco
7609 provides performance and reliability with options for redundant route processors and power
supplies. The inclusion of two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Cisco Catalyst
Supervisor Engine 720 with the Multilayer Switch Feature Card 3 (MSFC-3) or the new Cisco
Route Switch Processor 720 (RSP 720) with the MSFC-4 used in the Cisco 7609 eliminates the
need for a line-card slot for uplink ports. The result of this design is more efficient use of available
line-card slots and increased deployment flexibility. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports are available for
use in dual-route processor configurations.
Shared port adaptors (SPA) on the SPA interface processors (SIPs) are available on the Cisco
7600 Series with interface speeds ranging from OC-3 to OC-192 and from Fast Ethernet to 10
Gigabit Ethernet. The Cisco 7600 Series can also use the Cisco 7600 Series/Catalyst 6500 Series
Enhanced FlexWAN Module to take advantage of most Cisco 7200 and 7500 Port Adapters for
terminating DS-0 to OC-3 speeds. By using the Cisco Catalyst 6000 Series of Ethernet line cards
in conjunction with the SIP-based SPAs and the enhanced FlexWAN module, the Cisco 7600
provides a multitude of options to scale WAN connectivity from DS-0 to OC-192 and LAN
connectivity from 10-Mbps Ethernet through 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The Cisco 7609 chassis accommodates a broad selection of line cards supporting numerous
applications, including:
SPAs and SIPs (Cisco 7600 Series SPA Interface Processor-200 [SIP-200], SIP-400, and
●
SIP-600):
Channelized T1/E1, Channelized T3, and Channelized OC-3/STM-1
◦
OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16 Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS), and OC-
◦
192/STM-64 PoS
OC-3/STM-1 ATM, OC-12/STM-4 ATM, and OC-48/STM-16 ATM
◦
Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
◦
Enhanced FlexWAN module: Supporting Cisco 7200 and 7500 WAN port adapters from
●
DS-0 to OC-3 for channelized and ATM interfaces and also Fast Ethernet port adapters
High-density Ethernet services modules: 10/100 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit
●
Ethernet
Services modules: IP Security (IPsec), firewall, distributed denial of service, intrusion
●
detection systems, network analysis, and content witching commonly used, for example, in
the Cisco Mobile Exchange solution
Supervisor support: Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32 (WS-SUP32-GE-3B and
●
WS-SUP32-10GE-3B), Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 720 (WS-SUP720-3B and
WS-SUP720-3BXL), and the new Cisco Route Switch Processor 720 (RSP720-3C and
RSP720-3CXL)
The Cisco 7609 incorporates many service provider and high-end enterprise carrier-class
requirements. Line cards are vertically mounted for efficient cooling with front-to-back airflow. High
availability is an inherent facet in the form of redundant power supplies and redundant fan-tray
modules. Standard or extended cable-tray inserts provide unrestricted management of either fiber
and coaxial or multiple conductor types with up to 48 10/100 cables per slot. Two chassis can be
installed per 7-foot rack.
