Supplement to DOC-785009= (Text Part Number 78-5009-06)
This document provides updated information for the PA-A3 Enhanced ATM Port Adapter Installation and Configuration note. Read this note before configuring the PA-A3 port adapter on the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module.
This document contains the following sections:
On page vii, in the "Objectives" section, add the following bullet:
On page ix, in the "Related Documentation" section, add the following bullet:
Also, replace the second bullet list from the bottom of the page with the following:
On page 1-1, in the "Port Adapter Overview" section, replace the first paragraph with the following:
The PA-A3 port adapter (see Figure 1-1 to Figure 1-3) is a generation of single-width, single-port, ATM, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)-based port adapters for Cisco 7500 series, Cisco 7000 series, Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, and Cisco 7100 series routers, the Catalyst 6000 family switches, and the Catalyst 5000 series switches that provide many ATM hardware and software features. The PA-A3 port adapters include five hardware versions that support the following standards-based physical interfaces:
On page 1-2, replace the first paragraph after the first note to read:
The PA-A3 can be installed on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 for the Catalyst 5000 series switches, the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module for the Catalyst 6000 family switches, in Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, and Cisco 7100 series routers, or on the VIP2 for Cisco 7500 series and Cisco 7000 series routers. There are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; you can install a PA-A3 in any available port adapter slot.
Also, replace the second note with the following:
 |
Note Traffic from multiple ATM network interfaces could theoretically exceed the bandwidth of the CyBus (Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, and VIP2 only). This would cause packets to be dropped. There is no physical limit on the number of VIP2 and ATM PA-A3 combinations that can be installed in the same Cisco 7500 series router up to the total that the chassis supports. (For example, a Cisco 7513 can physically have up to 11 VIP2s.) However, the Cisco 7500 series backplane bandwidth is finite; if you install three or more VIP2 and ATM PA-A3 combinations, you need to thoroughly understand the Cisco 7500 series bandwidth characteristics. |
Also, replace the second bullet from the bottom with the following:
On page 1-4, in the "PA-A3 Port Adapter LEDs" section, add to the second bullet the following second-level bullet:
Also, replace the last bullet with the following:
On page 2-1, in the "Required Tools and Equipment" section, replace the third bullet with the following:
On page 2-4, in the "Software and Hardware Requirements" section, add the following section:
On page 2-5, in the "Minimum Software 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 9-5, in the "Identifying Interface Numbers and Addresses" section, add the following subsection:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, the address is composed of a three-part number in the format module-slot-number/port-adapter-bay-number/interface-port-number.
The Figure shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a typical Catalyst 6509.
For example, the ATM port on a PA-A3 in the first port adapter bay in a FlexWAN module installed in module slot 6 is numbered 6/0/0. (See Figure.) If you inserted the PA-A3 in port bay 1, this same port would be numbered 6/1/0. Port adapters can occupy either port adapter slot; there are no restrictions.
|
Note If you remove the FlexWAN module with the PA-A3 from module slot 6 and install it in module slot 3, the interface address becomes 3/0/0. |
|
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 9-7, in the "Shutting Down an Interface" section, replace the first two paragraphs with the following:
Before you replace an interface cable, replace port adapters, or remove an interface that you will not replace, use the shutdown command to shut down (disable) the interfaces. This procedure prevents anomalies from occurring when you reinstall the new or reconfigured Catalyst RSM/VIP2, Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, or VIP2. When you shut down an interface, it is designated administratively down in the show command displays.
Follow these steps to shut down an interface on the supported platforms:
On page 9-8, Step 5, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, to verify that the new interfaces are now in the correct state (shutdown), use the show interfaces atm mod_num/bay/port command to display the specific interface.
Router# show interfaces atm x/y/z ATMx/y/z:0 is down, line protocol is down Hardware is ENHANCED ATM PA [display text omitted]
On page 9-8, Step 6, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, to reenable the interfaces, repeat the above steps, but use the no shutdown command in Step 3, and then write the new configuration to memory:
Router(config)# interface atm x/y/z
Router(config-int)# no shutdown
Ctrl-Z
Router#
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router# show interfaces atm x/y/z
ATMx/y/z:0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is ENHANCED ATM PA
[display text omitted]
On page 9-9, in the "Performing a Basic Configuratoin" section, Step 2, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, at the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (atm) and mod_num/bay/port (module slot number, port adapter bay number, and interface port number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the first port adapter on a Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in module slot 3:
Router(config)# interface atm 3/0/0
On page 9-10, in the "Using show Commands to Verify the PA-A3 Status" section, Step 2, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, display all of the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers command. Verify that the new ATM-equipped PA-A3 FlexWAN module appears in the correct slot.
On page 9-11, Step 3, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type mod_num/bay/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.
On page 9-11, in the "Using show Commands to Display Interface and System Information" section, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, to display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type mod_num/bay/port].
The following example of the show interfaces [type mod_num/bay/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In this example, the ATM-configured Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module is in module slot 8, in port adapter bay 1.

With the show interfaces type mod_num/bay/port command, use arguments such as the interface type (such as ATM) and the slot, port adapter, and port numbers to display information about a specific interface only.
On page 9-16, add the following:
For the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module, use the show version (or show hardware) command to display the configuration of the system hardware (the number of each interface processor type installed), the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images. The following is an example of the show version command used with a Catalyst 6000 family switch with a FlexWAN module:
