Supplement to DOC-786093= (Text Part Number 78-6093-02)
This document provides updated information for the PA-T3+ Serial Port Adapter Installation and Configuration document. Read this note before configuring the PA-T3+ port adapter on the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module.
This document contains the following sections:
On page iii, in the "Objectives" section, add the following bullet:
On page iv, in the "Related Documentation" section, add the following bullet:
On page 1-1, in the "Port Adapter Overview" section, replace the first paragraph with the following:
The one-port PA-T3+, shown in Figure 1-1, provides up to two network interfaces per Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switches and VIP2 for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers and one high-speed interface for Cisco 7200 series routers. The two-port PA-2T3+, shown in Figure 1-2, provides up to four network interfaces per Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in the Catalyst 6000 family switches and VIP2 for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers and two high-speed interfaces for Cisco 7200 series routers. The PA-T3+ provides a full-duplex (FDX) operation at T3+ (45-Mbps) speeds.
On page 1-2, in the "Features" section, replace the first bullet with the following:
On page 1-3, replace the last bullet with the following:
On page 1-6, add the following section:
The Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module can be installed in any slot except slot 1, which is reserved for the supervisor engine. The PA-T3+ can be installed into either port adapter bay 0 or bay 1 on a FlexWAN module. Figure 1-8 shows a FlexWAN module with two blank port adapters installed.

Note Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is used, it would go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules. |

On page 1-7, replace the first paragraph with the following:
Interfaces on a PA-T3+ installed in a FlexWAN module or a VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a FlexWAN module or a VIP2 to a different slot, the interface processor slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor slot.
Also, add the following to Table 1-3:
| Platform | Interface Address Format | Numbers | Syntax |
|---|---|---|---|
Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in Catalyst 6000 family switches | Module-slot-number/port-adapter- | Module slot number---21 through 6 or 9 (depending on the number of slots in the switch) Port adapter bay---always 0 or 1 Interface port---always 0 (for the one-port PA-T3+); 0 or 1 (for the two-port PA-2T3+) | 3/0/0 |
| 1Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. If a redundant supervisor engine is used, it must go in slot 2; otherwise, slot 2 can be used for other modules. |
On page 1-8, add the following section:
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-4T+ 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.
See Table 1-3 for the interface address format.
If the FlexWAN module is inserted in interface processor slot 3, then the interface address of the one-port PA-T3+ is 3/1/0 (module number 3, port adapter bay 1, and interfaces 0). The interface addresses of the two-port PA-2T3+ would be 3/1/0 and 3/1/1 (module number 3, port adapter bay 1, and interfaces 0 and 1).
![]() |
Note If you remove the FlexWAN module with the one-port PA-T3+ from interface processor slot 3 and install it in module number slot 6, the interface address becomes 6/1/0. The interface addresses for the two-port PA-2T3+ would be 6/1/0 and 6/1/1. |
![]() |
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 2-1, in the "Required Tools and Equipment" section, add the following bullet:
On page 2-2, add the following to Table 2-1:
| Platform | Recommended Minimum Cisco IOS Release (PA-T3+ and PA-2T3+) |
|---|---|
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 3-2, in the "Online Insertion and Removal" section, replace the second paragraph with the following:
Although the Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module and the VIP2 support online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace port adapters, you must first remove the FlexWAN module or the VIP2 from the chassis and then replace port adapters as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the FlexWAN module or the VIP2 on which you want to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the FlexWAN module or the VIP2 from the chassis and then remove the blank port adapter.
On page 3-3, add the following section:

On page 4-3, add the following to Table 4-1:
| Platform | Command | Example |
|---|---|---|
Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module in Catalyst 6000 family switches | interface, followed by the type (serial) and mod_num/bay/port (module-slot-number/ | The example is for interface 0 and interface 1 on a port adapter in bay 0 of a FlexWAN module installed in module slot 3. Router(config-if)# interface serial 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# shutdown Router(config-if)# interface serial 3/0/1 Router(config-if)# shutdown Ctrl-Z Router# |
On page 4-4, add the following to Table 4-2:
| Platform | Command | Example |

Router# show interfaces serial 3/0/0 Serial 3/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down [Additional display text omitted from this example] |
On page 4-5, add the following to Table 4-3:

Router(config)# interface serial 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# |
On page 4-9, in Table 4-5, add the following below the show diag slot command:
| Command | Function | Example |
|---|---|---|
