Internet Forwarding Processor Card
The Internet forward processor (IFP) card provides layer 3 IP switching for the
Versalar 15000. The Versalar 15000 can support three IFP cards in chassis slots 6
to 8.
Two or three IFP cards provide high-availability operation. If you have an access
card in slot 1 or 2, use slot 6 for the IFP card. If you have an access card in slot 3
or 4, use slot 7 for the IFP card. Slot 8 is for redundancy; however, it can be used
in normal system operation.
Note:
If you do not use all the IFP slots, use the lowest numbered IFP slots
first.
