Key Features
• Supports high-speed media and high-density configurations; uses the processing
capabilities of the Versatile Interface Processors and Cisco Express Forwarding
• Performs network services such as QoS, security, compression, and encryption at high
speed; VIP technology extends the performance of these services through distributed IP
services
• Provides high port density and an extensive range of LAN and WAN media; this feature
dramatically reduces the cost per port and allows a flexible configuration
• The Cisco 7500 supports a broad selection of Interface Processors (IPs) and Port Adapters
(PAs). Port adapters are shared with the Cisco 7200, 7300, 7400, and 7600 (with
