of the 7513 is faster and a greater number of interface types are supported.
However, when combined with the NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC or NFFC
II), the RSM and Catalyst can provide powerful Layer 2 and 3 switching.
including password encryption and HSRP. Note that the interfaces are defined
as VLAN1 and VLAN2. Unlike the router, the RSM is virtually connected to
the VLANs via the backplane. This connection is 400Mbit half-duplex.
if the RSM card were in slot 4, the command would read session 4.
