Agreed Dave. RSM and MSM are bothe blades and occupy a slot of Cat 5XXX and Cat 6XXX series chassis. Also the MSFC and RSFC are daughter cards as you rightly pointed out. I did a bit or reserch myself and came to the conclusion that the mother cards are basically Internal Routers and nothing else, running Cisco IOS and having virtual interfaces having MAC address from a shared global pool. They act as "Router-on-a-stick" model. But, the daughter cards mentioned above are like "Route-once-Switch-many" kind of MLS modules. They route the first time and then create a flow by cashing the entry in memory. This is the feature of NetFlow Feature Card inbuilt into RSFC and MSFC. Along with MSFC now Cisco also has Policy Feature Card that does much more in Policy and QoS. Am I correct guys? But guys, does this mean: - 1. RSFC card function = RSM card function + NSFC card function 2. MSFC card function = MSM card function + NSFC card function Are the above ideas true? I am confused, so help me!! Thanks guys, Cisco_Maniac
