What is the impact of RSP reload on the switch fabric on the ASR 9000 Series?
A.
None. The switch fabric resides on dedicated fabric cards and the reload of a separate RSP
card has no impact.
B.
Interruption of service. The switch fabric resides on the same card as RSP and the reload of the
card will cause packet loss.
C.
Performance degradation. The switch fabric resides on the same card as RSP and the reload
will stop it. However, having a redundant RSP installed means traffic that all traffic will be
redirected to another RSP and this will halve the throughput rate, but not cause any disruption.
D.
None. The switch fabric resides on the same physical card as RSP, but the circuits are
independent.
