The RSP7000 contains the following components: A bank of hardware (Media Access Control [MAC]-layer) addresses for the interface ports sniped from: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7000/7000_him/7000po vr.htm#xtocid1950512
I can't find proof - but suspect that Dave is thinking of the 7507 which can have two RSPs. Associating the MAC addresses with the chassis makes sense in that case. So it appears that we are back to Paul's original question. BTW is the chip in question soldered on the circuit board? My thought is that if it is removable then one could be sent to Paul to copy. > -----Original Message----- > From: MADMAN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 11:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: MAC Cookie problems with RSP7000 in a 7000 > router [7:29098] > > > If I remember correctly the 7000's maintained the MAC addresses for > any potential interface cards on the Dallas chip that is part of the > backplane.

It appears that the EEPROM that maintains the MAC address table for this unit has gone south. The archives mentioned that the RSP7000 would need to be replaced. Is there an easier way? I have access to EEPROM programming equipment.. could this be easily rectified on my own?
