Cisco 7000 Series Processors

Cisco 7000 series processors provide new functionality and have different names than the interface cards used in other Cisco routers.

Table E-1 provides general conversion information. For example, the RP card on the Cisco 7000 provides the same general area of functionality as the CSC-MC+ and CSC-ENVM cards on other Cisco routers. Note, however, that some new boards for the 7000 series, such as the AIP and the MIP, provide functionality for which there were no earlier equivalents.
