Installation Prerequisites
What Is the Cisco 7500 Series?
The Cisco 7500 series includes the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 routers. The FEIP2
operates in the Cisco 7500 series routers. (For software and hardware requirements, refer to the
section “Software and Hardware Prerequisites” on page 3.)
Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the FEIP2, which are inserted
into interface processor slots and provide a direct connection between external networks and the
high-speed CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series. The Cisco 7500 series supports any combination of
available network interface types.
Figure 4 shows the interface processor end of the Cisco 7505. In the 5-slot Cisco 7505, one slot (4)
is reserved for the Route Switch Processor (RSP1 or RSP4), which contains the system processor
and performs packet switching functions. Slots 0 through 3 are for interface processors including the
FEIP2.
