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
®
6500 Series
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.
