Chapter 2 Functional Description
Route Processor Card
Route Processor Card
The RP card is the main control element in the Cisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router
chassis. The switch fabric element has been moved to the FC cards. The RP card provides system control,
packet switching, and timing control for the system. To provide redundancy, there are two RP cards in
the system, one as the active control RP and the other as the standby RP. The standby RP takes over all
control functions should the active RP fail.
Figure 2-8 shows the front panel connectors and indicators of the RP card.
