The Cisco Route Switch Processor 8 (Part Number: RSP8=) is designed for use with Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This powerful control processor provides enhanced performance and scalability for service providers and large enterprises. The RSP8 module is built to support high-capacity networking and offers forwarding and route processing functionality within the ASR 9000 series router.
The processor's key features include modular design and high availability, making it ideal for critical network environments where downtime is not an option. In addition to route processing, it handles control plane tasks, optimising network operations. The device supports dual-redundant configuration, enabling continuous network uptime by allowing failover between two route processors.
Equipped with a robust multicore CPU, the RSP8 ensures that packet forwarding and other operational tasks are handled efficiently, with its scalable architecture designed to meet growing network demands. For service providers or enterprises seeking a high-performance, reliable control unit, the Cisco RSP8 offers integrated network optimisation features and is designed to support large-scale service portfolios.
Additionally, the RSP8 supports technologies such as NetFlow, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and advanced quality of service (QoS) capabilities. It's compatible with the Cisco ASR 9000 series' ability to manage high-speed interfaces, supporting a wide range of services and optimising network efficiency.
Built for maximum uptime, the Cisco Route Switch Processor 8 comes with hardware-based protection mechanisms and onboard memory designed to store critical operating system images and configurations. This allows fault isolation and error resiliency, ensuring robust performance in mission-critical environments.
