Preface
This preface explains the objectives and organization of this document and explains how to find additional information on related products and services. This preface contains the following sections:
This document describes how to install and configure the PA-F-MM and PA-F-SM half-duplex Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) port adapters, hereafter referred to as the PA-F, which can be used in the following platforms:
- Second-generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) in all Cisco 7500 series routers and in Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI)
- Catalyst Route Switch Module (RSM)/VIP2 in the Catalyst 5000 family switches
- Cisco 7200 series routers---which consist of the two-slot Cisco 7202, the four-slot Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and the six-slot Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR
Note The PA-F-MM and PA-F-SM are not supported in Cisco 7200 VXR routers.
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for interfaces, and which ones support PA-F functionality, refer to the appropriate software configuration publication listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Note The Cisco 7206 can be used as a router shelf in a Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server. The steps for installing and configuring a port adapter or service adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router and a Cisco 7206 router shelf are the same; therefore, the procedures in this document that reference the Cisco 7200 series also apply to the Cisco 7206 router shelf, unless noted otherwise.
