7609S-RSP720C-R Use Case
High-Availability Core Routing for Service Providers
In a metro service provider network delivering T-Carrier and Ethernet services, the Cisco 7609S-RSP720C-R chassis with 2 RSP720-3C modules and dual PSUs supports nonstop forwarding and hitless software upgrades. This redundant 9-slot system ensures sub-50 ms failover, meets strict SLA targets, and scales to 720 Gbps of forwarding capacity for seamless subscriber growth.
Scalable Data Center Spine in Enterprise Infrastructure
An enterprise data center adopts the Cisco 7609S-RSP720C-R as its spine router to aggregate eight top-of-rack switches over 100 GbE links. With dual route-switch processors and hot-swap power supplies, the chassis delivers 7.2 Tbps of non-blocking throughput and N+1 redundancy. The result is deterministic east-west latency, zero service interruptions during maintenance, and simplified expansion to support virtualization and cloud workloads.
Resilient Campus Aggregation for Large Enterprises
A global campus network uses the 9-slot Cisco 7609S-RSP720C-R chassis at its aggregation layer to combine wired and wireless edge traffic. Dual RSP720-3C engines provide active-active high availability while segregating voice, video, and data VLANs. The platform’s advanced QoS and MPLS capabilities guarantee consistent performance for unified communications, secure guest access, and real-time analytics, reducing unplanned downtime and accelerating IT operations.
