• The MSFC contains the switch processor and route processor (SP/RP) for the
router.
• PCMCIA slot
• Console port for terminal and modem access
• There is no separate RP or SP for Sup 2T on the MSFC. It is a single processor
board.
Note Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)SY1 introduces support for the Sup 2T.
Note The Route Switch Processor 720 (RSP720) is the latest supervisor engine for
the Cisco 7600 series routers. It is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.2SRB
and later releases.
