The Cisco RSP2 is a Route Switch Processor for the Cisco 7507 and 7513 series routers, combining the system’s route processor (running Cisco IOS, building the routing table and managing the control plane) and switch processor (handling packet forwarding between interface cards) on a single field-replaceable board. It occupies the dedicated RSP slot in the 7500 series chassis and works alongside VIP (Versatile Interface Processor) cards, such as the VIP2, which handle the actual interface-facing traffic. The RSP2 sits between the original RSP1 and the higher-performance RSP4/RSP8 in Cisco’s 7500-series processor line, and its availability as a spare keeps ageing 7507/7513 chassis operating in networks that have not yet migrated to newer platforms. These routers remain in service across many established WAN and service-provider core deployments, and a genuine spare such as this restores a chassis to full operation after a processor failure. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Cisco processor cards for engineers maintaining these platforms.
