The Cisco Versatile Interface Processor 2-50 (part number: VIP2-50=) is a high-performance, modular control processor designed to provide enhanced flexibility and scalability for network interfaces. It supports a range of interfaces and protocols, allowing efficient communication between the Cisco 7500 series routers and network access devices. The VIP2-50 serves as a powerful route processor for forwarding packets while offloading the central processing tasks from the main router CPU, enhancing overall system performance.
One of the key features of the VIP2-50 is its use of the dual Motorola RISC processors, which help ensure smoother processing and increased throughput. Additionally, it comes with a dedicated Packet Memory that supports improved performance under heavy network loads. The versatility of the VIP2-50 is further highlighted by its support for Input/Output (I/O) cards, offering users the flexibility to configure line cards based on their specific requirements.
An integral feature includes compatibility with scalable protocols such as ATM, Frame Relay, and other WAN technologies, making it suitable for larger enterprise environments. The VIP2-50 also features 64 MB of DRAM, with options for memory upgrades that maximise its capacity. Other notable features include support for Packet Over Sonet (POS), as well as packet forwarding and the implementation of advanced routing protocols. It offers a centralised management structure by facilitating the integration of various card types and network configurations into one streamlined system.
In summary, the Cisco VIP2-50 control processor is a highly adaptable solution for organisations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure with high performance and functional versatility, all in a robust and reliable format.
