PRP-3 Front Panel Hardware Components Detail
PRP-3 is the route processor for the Cisco XR 12404 and 12804 Router chassis
running Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.8.0 or a later release. The PRP-3 is
available as product number PRP-3 or PRP-3= for a primary route processor and
is available as PRP-3/R for a redundant route processor. PRP-3 has significant
improvements over PRP-2. These improvements include increased speed,
improved scalability, higher system memory, faster packet processing. Because
PRP-3 does not support Cisco IOS, the bootflash memory no longer exists in
PRP-3. PRP-3 ROMMON has software intelligence to download a Cisco IOS XR
image without the support of bootflash memory.
