Supplement to DOC-783916= (Text Part Number 78-3916-06)
This document provides updated information for the PA-POS-OC3 Packet OC-3 Port Adapter Installation and Configuration note. Read this note before configuring the PA-POS-OC3 port adapter on the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module.
This document contains the following sections:
On page v, in the "Objectives" section, add the following bullet:
On page vi, in the "Related Documents" section, add the following bullet:
Also, add the following document to the last bullet list:
On page 1-1, in the "PA-POS-OC3 Overview" section, replace the first paragraph with the following:
The PA-POS-OC3 interface provides a direct connection between the high-speed Cisco Extended Bus (CxBus or CyBus) and external networks. The physical layer interface is OC-3c (STS-3c or STM-1/SDH). The PA-POS-OC3 provides a single 155.520-Mbps, Packet OC-3 network interface for Catalyst 5000 family switches with RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family switches with Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, and VIP2 in the Cisco 7000 series and the Cisco 7500 series routers.
On page 1-3, add the following note:

Note To remove a PA-POS-OC3 from a Catalyst 6000 series switch with a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, you must first remove the FlexWAN module on which the PA-POS-OC3 is installed. The FlexWAN module supports OIR. |
On page 2-1, in the "Required Tools and Equipment" section, add the following bullet:
On page 2-2, in the "Software and Hardware Requirements" section, add the following to Table 2-1:
| Platform | Recommended Minimum Cisco IOS Release |
|---|---|
Catalyst 6000 family switches with Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module
|
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)EX or later Catalyst 6000 family supervisor engine software release 5.4(1) or later |
On page 8-3, in the "Identifying Interface Addresses" section, add the following subsection:
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-POS-OC3 on the Catalyst FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switches.The interface address is composed of a three-part number in the format module number/port adapter bay number/interface port number.
If the FlexWAN module is inserted in module slot 3, then the interface address of the PA-POS-OC3 is 3/0/0 (module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, and interface 0). If the port adapter was in port adapter bay 1 on the FlexWAN module, this same interface address is numbered 3/1/0.
![]() |
Note If you remove the FlexWAN module with the PA-POS-OC3 from module slot 3 and install it in module slot 6, the interface addresses become 6/0/0. |
![]() |
Note The FlexWAN module physical port address uses a zero- (0-) based port address, which differs from the conventional Catalyst 6000 family one- (1-) based port address. |
On page 8-6, in the "Performing a Basic Configuration" section, add the following example to Step 2:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0
On page 8-7, in the "Setting the MTU Size" subsection, add the following example:
For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, enter:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# mtu bytes
On page 8-8, in the "Setting the MTU Size" subsection, add the following example:
For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, enter:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# no mtu
In the "Configuring Framing" subsection, add the following example:
For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, enter:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# pos framing-sdh
On page 8-9, in the "Setting the Source of the Transmit Clock" subsection, add the following examples:
For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, enter:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# clock source internal
On page 8-10, in the "Setting the Source of the Transmit Clock" subsection, add the following examples:
For a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, enter:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# no clock source internal
or
Router(config-if)# clock source line
Also, in the "Configuring SONET Payload Scrambling" section, add the following example:
The following example enables SONET payload scrambling on a POS OC-3 interface for a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# pos scramble-atm Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# end
On page 8-11, in the "Configuring SONET Payload Scrambling" section, add the following example:
The following example disables SONET payload scrambling on a POS OC-3 interface for a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module:
Router(config)# interface pos 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# no pos scramble-atm Router(config-if)# end
On page 8-12, under the first bullet, add the following platform and command:
| Platform | Command |
|---|---|
Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module | show interfaces serial module-number/port-adapter- |
On page 8-15, add the following subsection:
This section provides examples of the show commands you can use to verify your installation of the PA-POS-OC3 in a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module.
Following is an example of the show interfaces command, which displays status information (including the physical slot and interface address) for the interfaces you specify. In this example, the interface is on a port adapter in port adapter bay 1 of a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in module slot 4. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.)
