This document describes the Route Switch Processor (RSP2), the default system processor for the
Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 routers.
We strongly recommend that you do not use the RSP2 in the Cisco 7507-MX, and Cisco 7513-MX
Caution
routers. The Cisco 7507-MX and Cisco 7513-MX routers ship by default with an RSP8.
The RSP2 supports the high system availability (HSA) feature, which allows two RSP2s, or an RSP4/4+
and an RSP2, to be used in a Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 routers. See the
Availability" section on page 23
The RSP2 also supports high availability (HA), a series of features that operates similarly to HSA, but
which further minimizes system downtime. (HSA is the system default.) For more information on HA,
see the
With HA or HSA enabled, the RSP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR).

Page 27: Ensuring That Both Rsps Contain The Same Configuration File
Ensuring That Both RSPs Contain the Same Configuration File With the simple hardware backup and software error protection implementation methods, you always want your active and standby configuration files to match. To ensure that they match, turn on automatic synchronization. In automatic synchronization mode, the active copies its startup configuration to the standby’s startup configuration when you issue a copy command that specifies the active’s startup configuration (nvram:startup-config) as the target. - Page 28 Standard 16-, and 20-MB Flash memory cards are supported with the RSP2 (The 20-MB Flash memory Note card is currently the default.). See Flash Memory Card Installation Instructions for detailed information. You should specify slot0 or slot1 in your command, depending on which slot you are using. Standard 48- and 128-MB Flash Disks are supported with the RSP2.

Cisco 7513 systems that are configured with an RSP4 as the system standby are not affected and will not experience this problem. If you have a Cisco 7507 or a Cisco 7513 with an RSP2 configured as the system standby, we strongly recommend that you use the following procedure to remove and replace an interface processor: Step 1 Remove the standby RSP2. - Page 67 “Using the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 22 contact your system administrator to obtain access, if necessary. For configuration information and support, refer to the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
