Cisco MGX 8230 Edge Concentrator Installation and Configuration
Release 1.1.31, Part Number 78-11215-03 Rev. B0, May 2001
Chapter 2 Module and Service Descriptions
Frame Relay Service Modules
Route Processor Module (RPM)
The Route Processor Module is a Cisco 7200 series router redesigned into a double-height card to fit in
a MGX 8230 chassis. The RPM front card provides a Cisco IOS network processing engine (NPE-150),
capable of processing up to 120K packets per second (pps). The front card also provides ATM
connectivity to the MGX 8230 internal cell bus at full-duplex OC-3c from the module.
Initially, three types of single-height back card types will be supported: four-port Ethernet, one-port
(FDDI), and one-port Fast Ethernet. Each module can support two of these back cards.
The RPM enables high quality, scalable IP+ATM integration using multiprotocol label switching
(MPLS) technology.
