The AIP (see the following figure) provides a native ATM interface for the Cisco 7000. The AIP is available with one port, and it can be ordered to support one of the following media:
CX-AIP-SM — Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) multimode fiber-optic
CX-AIP-DS3 — DS3 coaxial
The ATM cable connects to a PLIM on the AIP card. The module supplies the interface type and can be ordered as a spare.
The AIP is compatible with a wide range of ATM devices, for example, the LightStream 1010 ATM switch, the Catalyst 5000 LAN switch equipped with an ATM LAN Emulation module, Cisco 4000 series routers (models 4500 and 4500-M) with an ATM Network Processor module, ATM SBus adapter, and ATM switches from other vendors.
