What are the key features and benefits of PRP-2?
PRP-2 offers wire-speed forwarding up to 40 Gbps per slot, hardware-accelerated QoS, distributed forwarding architecture, and integrated security, boosting network efficiency and scalability.
What is the processing capacity and throughput of PRP-2?
PRP-2 supports up to 40 Gbps of sustained throughput per line card, with sub-microsecond latency and hardware-based packet classification to ensure consistent performance under peak loads.
With which Cisco router platforms is PRP-2 compatible?
PRP-2 is compatible exclusively with the Cisco 12000 series routing chassis, including the GSR (Gigabit Switch Router) and CRS (Carrier Routing System) platforms equipped with suitable backplanes.
How do I install PRP-2 in a Cisco 12000 series router?
Power down the router, insert PRP-2 into the designated processor slot, secure the retainer, reconnect power and control cabling, and follow the IOS command ‘show controllers proc’ to verify recognition.
What are the memory specifications for PRP-2?
PRP-2 includes 2 GB of DRAM for routing tables and packet buffers, plus 256 MB of flash storage for IOS images and configuration files, ensuring robust performance and fail-safe upgrades.
