This purpose of this single-chapter document is to describe the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the second-generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) in Cisco 7500 series routers, and in Cisco 7000 series routers using the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). See the "Software and Hardware Prerequisites" section, for specific compatibility requirements.
 |
Note Use this configuration note in conjunction with the port adapter configuration notes appropriate to your VIP2 hardware configuration. Additional port adapter configuration notes accompany each VIP2-compatible port adapter you ordered with your VIP2 or chassis, or as spares, and discuss port adapter-specific configuration requirements. Depending on your VIP2/port adapter configuration, refer to the appropriate port adapter configuration note. |
Included in this configuration note are procedures for VIP2 hardware installation, and basic VIP2 configuration steps and examples. Also included are maintenance procedures for upgrading user-configurable VIP2 components. A table of contents is included so you can more easily find what you need.
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP2-related interfaces, and which support VIP2 functionality, refer to the appropriate Cisco IOS software configuration publications listed in the "If You Need More Information" section.
|
Note For convenience throughout this publication, the term VIP2 is used to describe all VIP2 models. Where appropriate, differentiations are made between the specific VIP2 models: VIP2-10, VIP2-15, VIP2-20, VIP2-40, and VIP2-50. |
This configuration note includes the following sections:
The Cisco IOS software running your router contains extensive features and functionality. The effective use of many of these features is easier if you have more information at hand. For additional information on configuring and maintaining the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers and the VIP2, the following documentation resources are available to you:
This section discusses the following topics:
The VIP2 uses a single motherboard with up to two port adapters. The VIP2 port adapters provide the individual LAN, WAN, or LAN/WAN interface ports. The VIP2 can be removed from a chassis while power is on and the system is operating. The VIP2 has 128 KB of nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM).
The central processing unit (CPU) on the VIP2-15 and VIP2-40 is a Reduced Instructions Set Computer (RISC), MultiChannel Interface Processor (Mips) 4700, and has an internal operating frequency of 100 megahertz (MHz). The CPU on the VIP2-50 is an R5000, and has an internal operating frequency of 200 MHz.
The current VIP2 products have the following DRAM or SDRAM and SRAM configurations:
|
Note Any combination of the available SRAM and SDRAM configurations can be used on the VIP2-50. |
The VIP2-10, VIP2-15, and VIP2-20 models support the following SRAM and DRAM (or SDRAM for VIP2-50) memory upgrade products:
The following DRAM upgrade product is compatible with the VIP2-40: MEM-VIP240-64MB-D= (which upgrades a VIP2-40 to 64 MB of DRAM, with two 32-MB DRAM SIMMs).
The VIP2-50 model supports the following SRAM and SDRAM memory upgrade products:
|
Note The VIP2-10, VIP2-15, VIP2-20, and VIP2-40 use the same motherboard; they are differentiated by their respective DRAM and SRAM configurations. The VIP2-50 uses a different motherboard and SDRAM and SRAM memory devices than the other VIP2 models; therefore, you cannot install VIP2-50 SDRAM or SRAM memory devices on the earlier VIP2 models, and you cannot install DRAM or SRAM memory devices from earlier VIP2 models on the VIP2-50. Further, you cannot use DRAM designated for the Route Switch Processor (RSP) on the VIP2 models. For additional VIP2 DRAM (or SDRAM) and SRAM information, refer to the configuration note Upgrading Memory on the Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) (Text Part Number 78-3323-xx, Customer Order Number DOC-VIP2UPG=), which ships with the DRAM (or SDRAM) and SRAM upgrade kits, and is available on the Documentation CD-ROM. (Also refer to the "Software and Hardware Prerequisites" section, for additional DRAM [or SDRAM] and SRAM prerequisites.) |
Figure 1 shows a VIP2-15 (or a VIP2-40) with installed port adapters. The VIP2 card and port adapters have handles that allow for easy installation and removal. Single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) contain the DRAM (U2 and U6) and a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) contains the SRAM (U5). You can install VIP2s in any available interface processor slots in your Cisco 7000 series or 7500 series router.
Figure 2 shows a VIP2-50 with installed port adapters. The VIP2-50 card and port adapters have handles that allow for easy installation and removal. The VIP2-50 firmware (microcode), which contains card-specific software instructions, resides in a programmable read-only memory (PROM) device. A dual in-line memory module (DIMM) contains the SDRAM, and a daughter card contains the SRAM. You can install VIP2-50s in any available interface processor slots in your Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router.
|
Note In the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 chassis, the VIP2 is installed vertically. In the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis, the VIP2 is installed horizontally. |
The port adapters attach to the VIP2 motherboard. (See Figure 1.) Port adapter installation requirements for the VIP2-50 are identical to the requirements for the all other VIP2 models.
Each port adapter contains the electrical interfaces and physical connections for the VIP2 interface types to connect to your network. (For the available port adapters supported by the VIP2 models, refer to the Cisco Product Catalog or contact a Cisco sales representative in your area.)
|
Note To ensure proper airflow in the chassis and compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) prevention standards, VIP2s with a single port adapter must have a blank port adapter installed in the empty port adapter slot location, as shown in Figure 3. |
The VIP2-15 and VIP2-40 operate with the CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series and, depending on your VIP2 port adapter configuration and protocol requirements, require that the host routers are running the Cisco IOS release appropriate for the port adapters on your VIP2-15 or VIP2-40.
The VIP2-15 and VIP2-40 operate with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series routers (providing these routers have the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed) and, depending on your VIP2 port adapter configuration and protocol requirements, require that the host routers are running the Cisco IOS release appropriate for the port adapters on your VIP2-15 or VIP2-40.
Also refer to the Cisco IOS software release note for the version of Cisco IOS software you are running.
The VIP2-50 operates with the CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series and, depending on your VIP2 port adapter configuration and protocol requirements, requires that the host routers are running Cisco IOS Release 11.1(14)CA or later.
The VIP2-50 operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series routers (providing these routers have the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed) and, depending on your VIP2 port adapter configuration and protocol requirements, requires that the host routers are running Cisco IOS Release 11.1(14)CA or later.
|
Note The minimum recommended VIP2 model is a VIP2-15; however, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes available for two high-speed, high-bandwidth port adapters on a VIP2 might require the additional VIP2 SRAM available on the VIP2-40 model or greater, to ensure adequate packet buffers. |
Table 1 provides information about which VIP2 models to use for distributed switching (DSW) and distributed services (DS).
| VIP2 Model | DSW Support | DS Support |
|---|---|---|
VIP2-15 | No | No |
VIP2-40 | Yes1 | Yes1 |
VIP2-50 | Yes2 | Yes2 |
| 1Software licenses are required to use DSW and DS and are included with the VIP2-40. 2Software licenses are required to use DSW and DS and are included with the VIP2-50. |
The microcode boot image in the PROM initializes the VIP2 and then assists downloading the VIP2 microcode image. All interfaces of the same type (VIP2, and so on) will load the same microcode image, either from the microcode image bundled with the Cisco IOS or from an image stored in system Flash memory. Although multiple microcode versions for a specific interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash memory, only one image can load at startup.
The show controllers cbus command displays the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor and VIP2. The show startup-config EXEC command shows the current system instructions for loading microcode at startup.
Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to work together. Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the software bundle. For a complete description of microcode and downloading procedures, refer to the "Upgrading VIP2 Microcode" section.
|
Note If you are installing a new VIP2 and preparing your site and planning network connections, be sure to review the equipment descriptions and interface cable distance limitations in the appropriate section in the port adapter configuration notes that accompanied your port adapters. |

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
 |
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms. |
Each VIP2 model and all supported port adapters meet the environmental and regulatory specifications listed in Table 2.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
Operating temperature | 50° F (10° C) to 104° F (40° C) |
Humidity | 10 to 90%, non-condensing |

The Cisco 7000 series consists of the Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010 routers. The VIP2 operates in the Cisco 7000 series routers providing these routers have the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) installed. (For software and hardware requirements, refer to the "Software and Hardware Prerequisites" section.)
Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the VIP2, which are inserted into interface processor slots and provide a direct connection between external networks and the high-speed CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series. The Cisco 7000 series supports any combination of available VIP2 port adapter-based network interface types.
In the 7-slot Cisco 7000, slot 5 is reserved for the RSP7000 (7000 RSP slot shown in Figure 4), which contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions, and slot 6 is reserved for the RSP7000CI (7000 CI slot shown in Figure 4), which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7000. The remaining five slots (slots 0 through 4) are for interface processors and most combinations of VIP2-based network interface types.
In the five-slot Cisco 7010, slot 3 is reserved for the RSP7000 (7000 RSP slot shown in Figure 5), which contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions, and slot 4 is reserved for the RSP7000CI (7000 CI slot shown in Figure 5), which contains all of the environmental monitoring functions for the Cisco 7010. The remaining three slots (slots 0 through 2) are for interface processors and most combinations of VIP2-based network interface types.
The Cisco 7500 series consists of the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 routers. The VIP2 operates in all Cisco 7500 series routers. (For software and hardware requirements, refer to the "Software and Hardware Prerequisites" section.)
Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the VIP2, which are inserted into interface processor slots and provide a direct connection between external networks and the high-speed CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series. The Cisco 7500 series supports most combinations of available VIP2 port adapter-based network interface types.
Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8 show the rear of the Cisco 7500 series routers: the five-slot Cisco 7505, the seven-slot Cisco 7507, and the thirteen-slot Cisco 7513, respectively.
Figure 6 shows the rear of the five-slot Cisco 7505. Slot 4 is reserved for the Route Switch Processor (RSP1 or RSP4), which contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions. Slots 0 through 3 are for interface processors and most combinations of VIP2-based network interface types.
Figure 7 shows the rear of the seven-slot Cisco 7507 router. In the Cisco 7507, up to two slots (2 and 3) are reserved for the Route Switch Processor (RSP2 or RSP4), which contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions. Slots 0, 1 and 4 through 6 are for interface processors and most combinations of VIP2-based network interface types.
Figure 8 shows the rear of the thirteen-slot Cisco 7513 with two AC-input power supplies installed. Two slots (6 and 7) are reserved for the second-generation Route Switch Processor (RSP2 or RSP4), which contains the system processor and performs packet switching functions. Slots 0 through 5 and 8 through 12 are for interface processors and most combinations of VIP2-based network interface types.
This section describes mechanical functions of system components, emphasizes the importance of following correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures, and is for background only; specific procedures follow in the "VIP2 Installation Procedures" section.
You can remove and replace interface processors (such as the VIP2) while the system is operating; you do not need to notify the software or reset the system power. This functionality enables you to add, remove, or replace interface processors with the system online, which provides a method that is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.
After an interface processor is reinstalled, the system brings online only interfaces that match the current configuration and were previously configured as up; all others require that you configure them with the configure command.
|
Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to recognize newly installed interfaces before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the system completes its verification can cause the system to interpret hardware failures. |
All interface processors have ejector levers that allow you to firmly seat an interface processor in the interface processor slot. The function of the ejector levers is to align and seat the card connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane.
It is also important to use the ejector levers when removing an interface processor to ensure that the board connector pins disconnect from the backplane in the logical sequence expected by the system. Any processor module that is only partially connected to the backplane can indefinitely pause the bus. Detailed steps for correctly installing and removing the interface processor follow.
The processor modules slide into slots in the rear of the chassis and connect directly to the backplane. The backplane slots are keyed so that the processor modules can be installed only in the slots designated for them.
Figure 9 shows the ejector levers and captive installation screws on a typical interface processor. To remove an interface processor, loosen the captive screws and pull the ejector levers to the sides to loosen the processor module from the backplane; then pull the module out using the handle. To insert an interface processor, reverse the process, making sure to firmly seat the interface processor and its connectors on the backplane.
|
Caution Always use the ejector levers when you remove or install the VIP2. The ejector levers help ensure that backplane connectors on the card are fully seated in, or fully ejected from, the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers could result in a partial backplane connection, which can hang the system. |
|
Note The VIP2 is oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 and vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513. |
The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing a VIP2 in the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers. The functionality is the same for each router model; therefore, the term the chassis is used except where specific model issues arise.
The OIR function allows you to install and remove a VIP2 without first shutting down the system; however, you must follow the instructions carefully. Failure to insert the VIP2 properly can cause system error messages indicating a board failure. For a complete description of OIR, refer to the "Guidelines for Interface Processor Removal and Installation" section.
Each unused interface processor slot contains an interface processor filler (which is an interface processor carrier without an interface board) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the interface processor compartment. If you are installing a new VIP2 that is not a replacement, you must first remove the interface processor filler from an unused slot; proceed to the "Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler" section. If you are replacing a VIP2, proceed to the "Removing a VIP2" section.
|
Note For proper operation with the VIP2, we recommend that your RSP1, RSP2, RSP4, or RSP7000 has at least 32 MB of DRAM. |
The procedure described in this section is only required if you plan to replace a currently installed interface processor or interface processor filler with a VIP2; otherwise, proceed to the "Removing a VIP2" section. You need not shut down the interface or the system power when removing an interface processor.
Select an interface processor slot for the new VIP2 and use the following procedure to remove an interface processor or interface processor filler, if required:
Step 2 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws on the interface processor or interface processor filler. (See Figure 9.)
Step 3 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward to release the filler from the backplane connector (in the opposite direction from that shown in Figure 9c).
Step 4 Grasp the interface processor handle with one hand and pull the interface processor straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 10.) Keep the carrier parallel to the backplane.
Step 5 Store the interface processor or interface processor filler in an antistatic bag to protect it for future use.
To help prevent dust and contaminants from entering the chassis, do not leave the interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the "Installing a VIP2" section.
The procedure described in this section is required if you plan to replace a currently installed VIP2 in your system. You need not shut down the interface or the system power when removing a VIP2. If you are replacing a failed VIP2, remove it first, then install the new VIP2 in the same slot.
|
Note While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, and then replace port adapters as required. Refer to the "Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2" section. |
Figure 10 shows proper handling of a processor module during installation and removal.
Use the following procedure to remove a VIP2:
Step 2 If you are replacing a failed VIP2, disconnect all cables from the VIP2 ports; however, if you are only moving a VIP2 to another slot, this step is not necessary.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board. (See Figure 9.)
|
Caution Always use the ejector levers to remove or install the VIP2. Failure to do so can cause erroneous system error messages indicating a board failure. |
Step 4 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors outward (in the opposite direction from that show in Figure 9c) to release the VIP2 from the backplane connector.
Step 5 Use the VIP2 handle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 10.) Keep the VIP2 parallel to the backplane.
Step 6 Place the removed VIP2 on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic container if you plan to return it to the factory.
Step 7 If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install a filler (MAS7K-BLANK) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air flow inside the chassis. Do not leave the interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the "Installing a VIP2" section.
This end the removing a VIP2 procedure.
This section provides the procedure for installing a VIP2. The processor modules are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 and vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and the Cisco 7513. The VIP2 slides into an open interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane. The interface processor slots are keyed to guide pins on the backplane, so the VIP2 can be installed only in an interface processor slot. Figure 9 shows the functional details of inserting an interface processor and using the ejector levers. Figure 10 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.
Use the following procedure to install a VIP2:
Step 2 Hold the VIP2 handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the VIP2 and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 10.) Avoid touching the VIP2 or any connector pins.
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only. |
Step 3 Place the back of the VIP2 in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove in the slot. (See Figure 9.)
Step 4 While keeping the VIP2 parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See Figure 9b.)
Step 5 Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the VIP2 is pushed entirely into its slot. (See Figure 9c.)
Step 6 Tighten both of the captive installation screws.
|
Caution To ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation for the chassis, make certain to tighten the captive installation screws on each VIP2 immediately after you install it and before proceeding with the installation of each remaining VIP2. |
This ends the procedure for installing a VIP2.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). Use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Router> enable Password:
Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed on your console.
Step 3 When you enter the correct password and press Return, the system displays the privileged-mode system prompt (#) as follows:
Router#
|
Note The VIP2 itself has no LEDs; LEDs are present on the port adapters installed on the VIP2. |
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the VIP2 port adapters and on all interface processors should go on, depending on your connections and configuration. The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
When you remove and replace interface processors, the system provides status messages on the console screen. The messages are for information only. The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a Fast Ethernet-equipped VIP2 was removed from slot 2; the system then reinitialized the remaining interface processors and marked as down the Fast Ethernet interfaces on the VIP2 that was removed from slot 2. When the VIP2 is reinserted, the system automatically brings up the interfaces that were up when the VIP2 was removed.
Router# %OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 2, interfaces disabled %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet2/0/0, changed state to administratively down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet2/1/0, changed state to administratively down
Router# %OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 2, interfaces administratively shut down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet2/0/0, changed state to up %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet2/1/0, changed state to up
|
Note When a new VIP2 is inserted or when a VIP2 is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the new interfaces, but leaves them in the shutdown state until you configure them and change their state to up with the configure command. |
The following example display shows the events logged by the system as a new VIP2 is inserted in slot 3. (Fast Ethernet interfaces are used in the following examples.)
Router# %OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3, interfaces administratively shut down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet3/0/0, changed state to administratively down %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet3/1/0, changed state to administratively down
Use the following procedure to verify that the VIP2 is installed correctly:
Step 2 When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on each port adapter goes on and remains on. If it does, proceed to Step 5. If it does not, proceed to the next step.
Step 3 If the enabled LED on a port adapter fails to go on, suspect that the VIP2 board connector is not fully seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, and then firmly push both ejector levers into place until they are approximately in the same orientation as the VIP2 faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the port adapter should go on. If it does, proceed to Step 5. If it does not, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 If the enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the VIP2 and try installing it in another available interface processor slot.
Step 5 If the VIP2 is new and not a replacement, you have to configure the new interfaces. Proceed to the appropriate configuration section for your port adapter. (This does not have to be done immediately, but new interfaces will not be available until you configure them.)
Step 6 If the VIP2 is a replacement, use the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/port or show controllers cbus command to verify the status of the interfaces. (Refer to the "Verifying VIP2 Status Using show Commands" section.)
If you replaced a VIP2 with a new VIP2 with a greater number of ports (for example, if you replaced a single-port adapter VIP2 with a dual-port adapter VIP2), the system will recognize the interfaces on the previously configured port adapter, but will not recognize the additional port adapter interfaces. The new interfaces will remain in the shutdown state until you configure them.
Step 7 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each interface by observing the status LEDs, which are described in the LED section of your port adapter type.
Step 8 In general, if an interface's LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the port, check the cable connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector.
If an error message is displayed on the console terminal, refer to the System Error Messages publication for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact a service representative for assistance.
This completes the VIP2 installation. If you installed a new VIP2 or if you installed a replacement VIP2 with an additional port, you must now configure the new interface as described in the following section and in the appropriate Cisco IOS software configuration documentation listed in "If You Need More Information" section. The documentation is available on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
The following procedure describes how to use the show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured correctly:
Step 2 Display all of the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers cbus command. Verify that the new VIP2 appears in the correct slot.
Step 3 Specify one of the new VIP2 interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/port command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.
Step 4 Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the command show protocols. If necessary, return to the configuration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.
Step 5 Display the entire system configuration file with the show configuration command. Verify that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.
Use the show controllers cbus command to display the internal status of each interface processor, including the slot location, the card hardware version, and the currently-running microcode version. This command also lists each interface (port) on each interface processor, including the logical interface number, interface type, physical (slot/port adapter/port) address, and hardware (station address) of each interface. The following example shows a VIP2 with Fast Ethernet interfaces (port adapters) installed in interface processor slot 1:

Use the show startup-config command to display the contents of the system configuration file stored in nonvolatile memory (NVRAM or Flash memory). The configuration file should reflect all new configuration changes you made and wrote to memory with the show running-config command. A Fast Ethernet interface is used in the following example of the show startup-config command:
Router# show startup-config Using 1652 out of 130048 bytes version 11.1(14)CA ! hostname Router ! enable-password hello ! microcode VIP2 flash vip11-1 microcode reload ! (display text omitted) ! interface FastEthernet 3/0/0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.248 interface FastEthernet 3/1/0 ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.248 ip route-cache cbus ! (display text omitted)
Use the show protocols command to display the global (system-wide) and interface-specific status of any configured Level 3 protocol, as follows:
Router# show protocols Global values: Internet Protocol routing is enabled FastEthernet3/1/0 is up, line protocol is up
|
Note Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to work together. Overriding the Cisco IOS software bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the Cisco IOS software bundle. |
You can download microcode to Flash memory by copying the TFTP image of a microcode version to Flash memory. When the microcode image is stored in Flash memory, you have to configure the router to use that image using the microcode vip2 flash command; then you can use the microcode reload command to manually load the new microcode file. Finally, you use the configure command to instruct the system to load the new image automatically at each system boot.
|
Note The appropriate microcode image runs from DRAM (or SDRAM) on the VIP2. |
To compare the size of the microcode image and the amount of Flash memory available, you must know the size of the new microcode image. The image size is specified in the README file that is included with the new image.
|
Note Note the size of the new image before proceeding to ensure that you have sufficient available Flash memory for the new image. |
Use the following procedure to download (copy) a microcode version from a TFTP server to Flash memory:
Router# show flash -#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 \ FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30 4023316 Jun 26 1994 19:44:29 image/file/1 2 .. FFFFFFFF 8075AA5D 4118B4 23 111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2 12044568 bytes available (8533736 bytes used)
Step 2 Compare the amount of available Flash memory (last line in the preceding example) to the size of the new microcode image on the floppy disk. If you attempt to copy in a new image, and the size of the new image exceeds the available space in Flash memory, only part of the new image will be copied, and the following error message will be displayed:
buffer overflow - xxxx/xxxx
where xxxx/xxxx is the number of bytes read in/number of bytes available.
Step 3 After you verify that there is sufficient space available in Flash memory for the new image, use the command copy tftp:filename [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename to copy an image to Flash memory. (tftp:filename is the file's source and [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.)
An example of the copy tftp:filename command follows:
Router# copy tftp:vip11-1 slot0:vip11-1 20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm] Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]? Loading new.image from 1.1.1.1 (via Ethernet1/0): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![OK - 7799951/15599616 bytes] CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Router#
Step 4 Use the show flash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash memory. The output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash memory (vip11-1 in the following example):
Router# show flash -#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 .. FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30 4023316 Jun 26 1994 19:44:29 image/file/1 2 .. FFFFFFFF 8075AA5D 4118B4 23 111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2 3 .. FFFFFFFF EEA1FEEB 8436E8 22 600516 Oct 10 1995 19:35:25 vip11-1 7646052 bytes available (16179788 bytes used)
Step 5 To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter the configure terminal command, as follows:
Router# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#
Step 6 Specify that you are changing the microcode for the VIP2 (microcode vip2), and that it will load from Flash memory (flash slot0 or slot1). Then add the filename of the new microcode image to be loaded from Flash memory:
Router(config)# microcode vip2 flash slot0:vip11-1
Step 7 To exit configuration mode, press Ctrl-Z.
Step 8 Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Step 9 To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload configuration command (you must be in configuration mode to enter this command):
Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# microcode reload
Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the system reloads all microcode. Configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is complete, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode and return to the system prompt.
Step 10 To verify that the VIP2 is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-config or show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor.
Router# show controllers cbus
This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
The procedures for upgrading memory devices on the VIP2 models are divided into the following two sections:
Choose the procedure appropriate for your VIP2 model.
This section provides the guidelines and procedures for installing the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, or VIP2-20 memory devices. In general, to upgrade memory on your VIP2-10, VIP2-15, or VIP2-20, you must replace both the SRAM and DRAM.
The following Cisco Systems memory kits are compatible with the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, and VIP20:
The following memory kit is compatible with the VIP2-40: MEM-VIP240-64MB-D=, which upgrades a VIP2-40 to 64 MB of DRAM, with two 32-MB DRAM SIMMs.
Figure 11 shows the locations of the DRAM SIMMs and the SRAM DIMM on the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, VIP2-20, and VIP2-40.
The following sections provide DRAM and SRAM upgrade procedures for the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, VIP2-20, and VIP2-40 (DRAM only) models:
The 70-nanosecond (ns) DRAM on the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, VIP2-2, and VIP2-40 (hereafter called the VIP2) is contained in two single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) located in sockets U2 and U6. (See Figure 11.) Depending on your system configuration, a memory upgrade may be required. Also, if you determine that a system problem is caused by a SIMM, a SIMM replacement may be required.
|
Note The memory kit MEM-VIP240-64MB-D= requires you to replace only the DRAM SIMMs on your VIP2-40. |
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle SIMMs by the card edges only. Place removed SIMMs on an antistatic mat and store them in an antistatic bag. |
Use the following procedure to remove DRAM SIMMs:
Step 2 Place the VIP2 on an antistatic mat or pad, and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the VIP2 so that the handle is away from you, and the bus connector is toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 11.
Step 3 Locate the SIMMs. The DRAM SIMMs occupy sockets U2 and U6. (See Figure 11.)
Step 4 Release the spring clips from the SIMM that you want to remove and release the SIMM from the socket. (See Figure 12.)
Step 5 When both ends of the SIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull the SIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, or traces (the metal fingers), along the socket edge. (See Figure 13.)
Step 6 Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 7 Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for the remaining SIMM, as required for this replacement.
This completes the SIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SIMMs.
SIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. Handle SIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the SIMM). (See Figure 13.)
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle SIMMs as shown in Figure 13. |
|
Note The memory kit MEM-VIP240-64MB-D= requires you to replace only the DRAM SIMMs on your VIP2-40. |
Use the following procedure to install new DRAM SIMMs:
Step 2 Remove a new SIMM from the antistatic bag.
Step 3 Hold the SIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, component-side-up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you.
Step 4 Tilt the SIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket and insert the connector edge into the socket.
|
Caution When inserting SIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the VIP2 to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Gently push the SIMM into the socket until the spring clips snap over the ends of the SIMM. If necessary, rock the SIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Step 6 Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the remaining SIMMs.
Step 7 When both SIMMs are installed, check all four alignment holes (two on each SIMM) and ensure that the spring clip is visible. If it is not, the SIMM is not seated properly. If any SIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SIMM firmly back into the socket until the retainer clips snap into place.
This completes the DRAM SIMM replacement procedure. If you need to replace the SRAM DIMM, proceed to the "Replacing the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, or VIP2-20 SRAM DIMM" section, then reinstall the VIP2 in the chassis. (Follow the steps in the "Installing a VIP2" section.)
If you do not need to replace the SRAM DIMM, refer to the "Checking the VIP2 Memory Upgrade" section,, as required.
The SRAM on the VIP2-10, VIP2-15, and VIP2-20 (hereafter called the VIP2) is contained in one dual in-line memory module (DIMM) located in socket U5. (See Figure 11 on page 32.) Depending on your system configuration, a memory upgrade may be required. Also, if you determine that a system problem is caused by the DIMM, a DIMM replacement may be required.
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the DIMM by the edges only. Place a removed DIMM on an antistatic mat and store it in an antistatic bag. |
Use the following procedure to remove the SRAM DIMM:
Step 2 Place the VIP2 on an antistatic mat or pad, and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the VIP2 so that the handle is toward you and the bus connector is facing away from you, approximately as shown in Figure 11.
Step 3 Locate the DIMM. The SRAM DIMM occupies socket U5. (See Figure 11.)
Step 4 Locate the release lever on the DIMM socket (see circle in Figure 14) and release the DIMM from the socket as shown.
Step 5 When one end of the DIMM is released from the socket, grasp the ends of the DIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull the DIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the DIMM only. (See Figure 15.)
Step 6 Place the DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
This completes the DIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new DIMM.
The SRAM DIMM is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. Handle the DIMM by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the DIMM). (See Figure 15.)
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the DIMM as shown in Figure 15. |
Use the following procedure to install a new SRAM DIMM:
Step 2 Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic bag.
Step 3 Hold the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, component-side-up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) down. (See Figure 15.)
Step 4 Tilt the DIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket and insert the connector edge into the socket. Note the two notches (keys) on the connector edge of the DIMM. (See Figure 15.) These keys are intended to assure correct orientation of the DIMM in the socket.
|
Caution When inserting the DIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the VIP2 to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Note the orientation of the socket key on the SRAM DIMM and the DIMM socket, and gently push the DIMM into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket (see Figure 16) and the DIMM edge connector is fully inserted. If necessary, rock the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Step 6 When the DIMM is installed, check that the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket. (See Figure 16.) If it is not, the DIMM may not be seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it according to the removal procedure, and reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket.
Step 7 Reinstall the VIP2 in the chassis. (Follow the steps in the "Installing a VIP2" section.)
This completes the SRAM DIMM replacement procedure.
Refer to the "Checking the VIP2 Memory Upgrade" section, as required.
This section provides the guidelines and procedures for installing VIP2-50 memory devices. The 10-nanosecond (ns) SDRAM on the VIP2-50 is contained in one dual in-line memory module (DIMM), and the SRAM on the VIP2-50 is contained in one daughter card. (See Figure 17.) Depending on your system configuration, a memory upgrade may be required. Also, if you determine that a system problem is caused by the DIMM or daughter card, a replacement may be required. To upgrade the memory on your VIP2-50, you can replace the SRAM, the SDRAM, or both.
The following Cisco Systems memory kits are compatible with the VIP2-50:
|
Note You can use any combination of these VIP2-50 SDRAM and SRAM configurations on the VIP2-50. |
Figure 17 shows the locations of the SRAM daughter card and SDRAM DIMM on the VIP2-50.
The following sections provide SDRAM and SRAM upgrade procedures for the VIP2-50:
The procedures in this section are required only if you have a VIP2-50 and need to upgrade or replace the SDRAM DIMM.
|
Note Use only the SDRAM DIMM from Cisco Systems. A Cisco manufacturing part number appears on the SDRAM DIMM. |
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the DIMM by the card edges only. (See Figure 20 on page 40.) Place a removed DIMM on an antistatic mat and store it in an antistatic container. |
Use the following procedure to remove the existing DIMM:
Step 2 Place the VIP2-50 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the VIP2-50 so that the handle is away from you, and the bus connector is toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 17.
Step 3 Locate the DIMM. (See Figure 17.)
Step 4 Open the DIMM socket tabs on the DIMM to release the DIMM from the socket. (See Figure 18.)
Step 5 With the DIMM socket tabs open, grasp the ends of the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers and pull the DIMM completely out of the socket. (See Figure 19.) Handle the edges of the DIMM only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, or traces (the metal fingers), along the socket edge. (See Figure 20.)
Step 6 Place the DIMM in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD damage.
This completes the DIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install a new DIMM.
The DIMM is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. Handle the DIMM by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the DIMM). (See Figure 20.)
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the DIMM as shown in Figure 20. |
Step 2 Remove the new DIMM from its antistatic container.
Step 3 Hold the DIMM component-side-up between your thumbs and forefingers. (See Figure 20.)
Step 4 Tilt the DIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket and insert the connector edge into the socket.
|
Caution When inserting the DIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the VIP2-50 to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Gently push the DIMM into the socket until the socket tabs close over the ends of the DIMM. (See Figure 21.) If necessary, rock the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Step 6 When the DIMM is installed, check to see it is seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the socket until the socket tabs move into place.
This completes the DIMM replacement procedure. If required, proceed to the "Replacing the VIP2-50 SRAM Daughter Card" section. Otherwise, reinstall the VIP2 in the system. (Follow the steps in the "Installing a VIP2" section.)
Refer to the "Checking the VIP2 Memory Upgrade" section as required.
The procedures in this section are required only if you have a VIP2-50 and need to upgrade or replace the SRAM daughter card.
|
Note Use only the SRAM daughter card from Cisco Systems. A Cisco manufacturing part number appears on the SRAM daughter card. |
|
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle the SRAM daughter card by the edges only. Place a removed SRAM daughter card on an antistatic mat and store it in an antistatic container. |
Use the following procedure to remove the existing SRAM daughter card:
Step 2 Place the VIP2-50 on an antistatic mat or pad, and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the VIP2-50 so that the handle is toward you and the bus connector is facing away from you, approximately as shown in Figure 17.
Step 3 Locate the SRAM daughter card on the VIP2-50. (See Figure 17.) The SRAM daughter card has a release lever that loosens the daughter card from its socket.
|
Caution To prevent damage to the SRAM daughter card in the steps that follow, do not open the release lever on the daughter card's socket until after you remove the three screws located at the rear of the SRAM daughter card. (See Figure 22.) Further, do not reinstall the three screws until after you install the SRAM daughter card in the socket and ensure that the release lever is flush against the side of the socket. |
|
Note Figure 23 and Figure 24 show the functions of the release lever on the SRAM daughter card socket. To release an SRAM daughter card from the socket, first remove the three screws, then open the release lever, as shown in Figure 23. When you insert an SRAM daughter card in the socket, the release lever should close automatically, as shown in Figure 24. |
Step 4 Locate the three screws that secure the SRAM daughter card to the motherboard. (See item 1 in Figure 22.)
|
Note The SRAM daughter card lays parallel to the motherboard when the daughter card connector edge is installed in the socket. |
Step 5 Using a Number 1 Phillips screwdriver, carefully remove the three screws from the SRAM daughter card (see Figure 22), and then set them aside.
Step 6 Locate the release lever on the socket. (See Figure 22.) Open the release lever to release the SRAM daughter card from the socket.
Step 7 When one end of the SRAM daughter card is released from the socket, carefully pull the card away from the socket and motherboard. Handle the edges of the SRAM daughter card only. (See Figure 25.)
Step 8 Place the SRAM daughter card in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD damage.
This completes the SRAM daughter card removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install a new SRAM daughter card.
The SRAM daughter card is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. Handle the SRAM daughter card by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the SRAM daughter card). (See Figure 25.)
Step 2 Remove the new SRAM daughter card from its antistatic container.
Step 3 Hold the SRAM daughter card between your thumbs and forefingers, component-side-up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) toward you. (See Figure 25.)
Step 4 Tilt the SRAM daughter card parallel with the socket and insert the connector edge into the socket. Note the two notches (keys) on the connector edge of the SRAM daughter card. (See Figure 26.) These keys are intended to assure correct orientation of the SRAM daughter card in its socket.
|
Caution When inserting the SRAM daughter card, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return the VIP2-50 to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Note the orientation of the socket keys on the SRAM daughter card (see Figure 26) and the socket, and gently push the SRAM daughter into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the socket (see Figure 24) and the SRAM daughter card edge connector is fully inserted. If necessary, rock the SRAM daughter card gently back and forth to seat it properly.
Step 6 If the SRAM daughter card appears misaligned, carefully remove it according to the removal procedure on page 41, and reseat it in the socket. Push the SRAM daughter card firmly back into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the socket.
|
Note When the SRAM daughter card is properly inserted in the socket, the three screw holes at the rear of the card should align with the standoffs below the card, and the release lever should be flush against the side of the socket. |
Step 7 Verify that the three screw holes at the rear of the SRAM daughter card align with the standoffs below the SRAM daughter card; using the Number 1 Phillips screwdriver, reinstall the three screws. (See Figure 22.)
Step 8 Reinstall the VIP2-50 in the chassis. (Follow the steps in the "Installing a VIP2" section.)
This completes the VIP2-50 SRAM daughter card replacement procedure.
If, after you have replaced memory devices, the system fails to boot properly, or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, check the following:
If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact a service representative for assistance. Before you call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help solve the problem.
Verify that the VIP2 is operating properly as follows:
Step 2 When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on each port adapter goes on and remains on. If it does, proceed to Step 5. If it does not, proceed to the next step.
Step 3 If the enabled LED on a port adapter fails to go on, suspect that the VIP2 board connector is not fully seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, then firmly push both ejector levers into place until they are approximately in the same orientation as the VIP2 faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the port adapter should go on. If it does, proceed to Step 5. If it does not, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4 If the enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the VIP2 and try installing it in another available interface processor slot.
Step 5 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each interface by observing the status LEDs on the port adapters, which are described in the appropriate LED section of the configuration note that shipped with your port adapter.
|
Note In general, if an interface's LEDs fail to go on and a cable is connected to the port, check the cable connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector. |
If an error message is displayed on the console terminal, refer to the System Error Messages publication for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact a service representative for assistance.
This completes the VIP2 memory upgrade procedures.
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor, and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
|
Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage. Each port adapter has one Phillips-head screw that secures it to its port adapter slot. We strongly recommend that the following procedures be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider; however, this is not a requirement. While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP2 in which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, and then remove the blank port adapter. |
|
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the VIP2 motherboard, or attempt to install other port adapters on the VIP2 motherboard, while the system is operating. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the VIP2 from its interface processor slot. |

Caution To prevent interface reconfiguration requirements, you should replace a port adapter with the same type of port adapter you removed, but this is not a requirement. |
When only one port adapter is installed on a VIP2, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the VIP2 and router chassis to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements, and so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.
Use the following standard procedure to remove and replace any type of port adapter on a VIP2:
|
Note If you want to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 with a single port adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot in which you want to install the new port adapter. |
Step 2 For a new port adapter installation or a port adapter replacement, disconnect any interface cables from the ports on the front of the port adapter, although this is not required. You can remove VIP2s with cables attached; however, we do not recommend it.
Step 3 Remove the VIP2 from the system. (Follow the steps in the "Removing a VIP2" section.)
Step 4 Place the removed VIP2 on an antistatic mat.
Step 5 Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See Figure 27.) This screw secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.
Step 6 Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).
Step 7 With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See Figure 28.)
Step 8 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.
Step 9 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 29.)

Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 29. |
Step 10 Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot until the connector on the port adapter is completely mated with the connector on the motherboard.
Step 11 Replace the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot. (See Figure 27 for its location.) Do not overtighten this screw.
Step 12 Reinstall the VIP2 in the system. (Follow the steps in the "Installing a VIP2" section.)
Step 13 If disconnected, reconnect the interface cables to the port adapters.
This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter or replacing a port adapter on a VIP2.
