Cisco Versatile Interface Processor 2-50

Cisco Versatile Interface Processor 2-50 ... on Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000). The VIP2-50 provides significantly greater packet and program memory space and increased distributed switching performance.

The VIP2-50 uses a single motherboard with up to two port adapters. The VIP2-50 port adapters provide the individual LAN, WAN, or LAN/WAN interface ports. The VIP2-50 is designed to support high-speed port adapters. The CPU on the VIP2-50 is an R5000 and has an internal operating frequency of 200 MHz. The VIP2-50 supports 4 to 8 MB of SRAM and 32 to 64 MB of DRAM. Any combination of SRAM and DRAM can be used on the VIP2-50 to meet your needs. The VIP2-50 firmware (microcode), which contains card-specific software instructions, resides in a PROM device. A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) contains the DRAM, and a daughter card contains the SRAM.
