Router Information

For hardware installation and maintenance information on Cisco 12000 Series

Routers, refer to the installation and configuration guide for your router. This

includes information on card slot locations and other general requirements.

Supported Platforms

The PRP operates on all Cisco 12000 Series Routers and can be installed in any

available slot in any chassis. Cisco recommends that you install the PRP in the

section of the chassis that receives the least amount of airflow (if any). The PRP

runs cooler than other system cards and, therefore, does not require as much

airflow.

PRP Redundancy

When two PRPs are installed in a Cisco 12000 Series Router, one PRP is the

active PRP and the other is a backup, or standby, PRP. If the active PRP fails or is

removed from the system, the standby PRP detects the failure and initiates a

Performance Route Processor Installation and Configuration Guide

OL-11656-01

Important Information

switchover. During a switchover, the standby PRP assumes control of the router,

connects with the network interfaces, and activates the local network management

interface and system console.

Note If your system includes redundant PRPs, both PRPs should be of the same type

(PRP-1 or PRP-2) and have the same memory size. Redundancy is not supported

when using a Gigabit Route Processor (GRP) and a PRP in the same chassis.

Cisco strongly recommends that you avoid configuring your router using mixed

route processor cards. Refer to the Route Processor Redundancy Plus for the

Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router publication for more information on

redundancy.

Cisco IOS Software Requirements

For software configuration information, refer to the Cisco IOS software

configuration and command reference publications for the installed Cisco IOS

Release. Also refer to the Cisco IOS software release notes for additional

information.

The PRP is compatible with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S or later.

The show version and show hardware commands display the current hardware

configuration of the router, including the system software version that is currently

loaded and running. For complete descriptions of show commands, refer to the

Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and the Cisco IOS

Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.

Important Information

Performance Route Processor Installation and Configuration Guide

OL-11656-01

Note Output from the show version command on a PRP-2 card running on software

releases prior to 12.0(30)S may display some incorrect information. This is only

a display issue and it occurs because the software does not recognize some of the

hardware on the card. This does not affect the functionality of the PRP-2. For

example, the following is incorrect output from the show version command on

release 12.0(22)S:

cisco 12406/PRP (MPC7450) processor (revision 0x00) with 1048576K

bytes of memory. unknown CPU at 598Mhz, Rev 1.1, 256KB L2, 2048KB L3

Cache

The output from a later software release would be as follows:

cisco 12406/PRP (MPC7457) processor (revision 0x00) with 1048576K

bytes of memory. MPC7457 CPU at 1263Mhz, Rev 1.1, 512KB L2, 2048KB L3

Cache

Hardware Revision Requirements

To ensure compatibility with the software, the PRP should have a specific

hardware revision level or greater. The hardware revision number is printed on a

label affixed to the component side of the card. The hardware revision number can

also be displayed using the show diags slot-number command.

The minimum hardware revision number for the PRP (Product Number PRP-1=)

is 73-5936-05, Rev. A0. The minimum hardware revision number for the PRP-2

(Product Number PRP-2=) is 73-8812-04 Rev. A0.

Note Output from the show diags command on a PRP-2 card running on software

releases prior to 12.0(30)S may incorrectly indicate “PRP-1+” or “FRU number

not known” as the installed FRU.

PRP Functions

The PRP-1 for the Cisco 12000 Series Router includes the following primary

functions:

•Loading Cisco IOS software on all installed line cards at power up

•Providing a console (terminal) port for router configuration

•Providing an auxiliary port for other external equipment (such as modems)

•Providing two IEEE 802.3, 10/100-megabits-per-second (Mbps) Ethernet

ports for Telnet functionality

•Running routing protocols

•Building and distributing routing tables to line cards

•Providing general system maintenance functions

•Communicating with line cards either through the switch fabric or through

the maintenance bus (MBus). The MBus connection allows the PRP to

download a system bootstrap image, collect or load diagnostic information,

and perform general, internal system maintenance operations. The switch

fabric connection is the main data path for routing table distribution as well

as for packets that are sent between line cards and the PRP.

random-access memory (SDRAM) on two dual in-line memory modules

(DIMMs). 1 GB of SDRAM is the default shipping configuration. SDRAM is

field replaceable only when using Cisco-approved DIMMs.

Note Software releases prior to 12.0(30)S do not recognize more than 2 GB of

SDRAM and will only use the first 2 GB of the installed memory. This

does not affect the functioning of the PRP-2, but commands such as show

version will indicate that only 2 GB of SDRAM are installed.

•Hard disk drive—40-GB hard disk drive can be optionally installed on the

PRP-2 board.

•CF—1-GB compact flash disk can be optionally installed on the PRP-2

board.

Cisco IOS Software Storage

The Cisco IOS software images that run the Cisco 12000 Series Router system are

stored in Flash memory. Two types of Flash memory ship with the PRP-1:

•Onboard Flash memory—Ships as a single in-line memory module (SIMM).

This Flash memory contains the Cisco IOS boot image (bootflash) and is not

field replaceable.

•Flash disk—The PRP ships with an ATA Flash disk that can be installed in

either Flash disk slot. The Flash disk contains the Cisco IOS software image.

Linear Flash memory cards are also supported in the PRP-1.

OL-11656-01

Product Overview

The PRP-2 provides the following additional Flash memory:

•Compact Flash (CF) disk—Optional 1 GB CF can be used for large IOS

images.

Storing the Cisco IOS images in Flash memory enables you to download and boot

from upgraded Cisco IOS software images remotely, or from software images that

reside in PRP Flash memory.

Cisco 12000 Series Routers support downloadable system software for most

Cisco IOS software upgrades. This enables you to remotely download, store, and

boot from a new Cisco IOS software image. The Cisco IOS software runs from

within the SDRAM of the PRP.

For specific Cisco IOS software requirements for the PRP, see the “Cisco IOS

Software Requirements” section on page 3.
