Route Processor information

[Arjun Dabol]

Hi,

I am very new to high end cisco devices.(like 7600/6500 or ASR9K)

Can someone please make me understand why do we login on RP. What actions we can perform after logging-on RP (route processor) or Why they are required ? Cant we  make those by normal router mode (router#) ..

Thanks in advance

Hi,

We normally login to router. This high end device is having RP and SP. I think better if you provide more inputs on what exactly you are looking for. Inserted image here for little bit of your understanding.

Thanks for Replying.

My question is very very basic -

1. What is and Why we need Route Processor ?

2. As I read - We can make some configurations on RP also Right ? What kind of config we do on RPs ?
