The Cisco 7304 Shared Port Adapter Modular Services Card, part number 7304-MSC-100-RF, is an expansion module specifically designed for use within the Cisco 7304 Router series. It provides an efficient way to enhance the router's capabilities by offering increased port density and flexibility through the addition of shared port adapters (SPAs). The card comes equipped with 2 ports, allowing for a variety of transport media types, like Ethernet and ATM, depending on which SPAs are installed.
One of the card’s primary strengths is its modular design, which supports multiple SPA modules across different networking functions. This enables businesses to scale and adapt their network infrastructure based on evolving needs. The high-performance processing and flexibility of the MSC (Modular Services Card) make it an essential component for improving a system’s overall throughput and reducing operational costs.
The Cisco 7304 series itself is known for its reliable, practical routing and forwarding capabilities in both enterprise and service provider environments. The hot-swappable functionality of the SPA modules integrated with the 7304-MSC-100-RF ensures high availability and allows for the module to be replaced without disrupting ongoing operations—making it ideal for critical networking tasks.
Overall, part number 7304-MSC-100-RF offers a cost-effective and scalable solution to enhance the performance and versatility of a Cisco 7304 router, providing two additional slots for SPAs and extending its functionality across a vast array of network services.
