In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right,
beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202,
slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR.
Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.
Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. You can install both I/O
controller types in all Cisco 7200 series routers; however, when you install an I/O controller with a
Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202, the system software automatically disables the port.
Figure 1-5 shows a Cisco 7206 with installed port adapters and an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet
port. Not shown are the Cisco 7202, which has two port adapter slots, the Cisco 7204 and
Cisco 7204VXR, which have four port adapter slots, and the Cisco 7206VXR, which has six port
adapter slots. The PA-FE port adapters can be installed in any available port adapter slot in
Cisco 7200 series routers.

LEDs
LEDs
The PA-FE-TX and the PA-FE-FX have an enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and a bank
of three status LEDs for the ports. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate
that the PA-FE has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 1-7.)
Figure 1-7
LEDs on the PA-FE Port Adapter—Partial Faceplate View of PA-FE-TX
The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:
• The PA-FE is correctly connected and receiving power.
• The FE-equipped card or chassis contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded
successfully.
• The bus recognizes the PA-FE port adapter or PA-FE-equipped VIP2.
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED
does not go on.
Following are the three status LEDs and an explanation of what each indicates:
• MII—On when the MII port is selected as the active port by the controller.
• Link—When the RJ-45 or SC port is active, this LED is on when the port adapter is receiving a
carrier signal from the network. When the MII port is active, this LED is an indication of network
activity, and it flickers on and off proportionally to this activity.
• RJ-45 (or FIBER on PA-FE-FX)—On when the RJ-45 (or FIBER) port is selected as the active
port by the controller.
Either the MII LED or the RJ-45 (or FIBER) LED should be on at any one time; never both.
Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts
Each Fast Ethernet port on the PA-FE-TX has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) for 100BaseTX, and a MII connector that permits connection through external
transceivers to multimode fiber for 100BaseFX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 UTP or foil twisted-pair
(FTP) for 100BaseT4 physical media. Only one connector can be used at one time. The RJ-45
connection does not require an external transceiver. The MII connection (a 40-pin, D-shell type
connector) requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver.
Each Fast Ethernet port on the PA-FE-FX port adapter has an SC-type fiber-optic connector for
100BaseFX, and an MII connector that permits connection through external transceivers to
multimode fiber for 100BaseFX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 UTP or STP for 100BaseT4 physical
media. Only one connector can be used at one time. The MII connection (a 40-pin, D-shell type
connector) requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver.

Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 1-1, proper common-mode line terminations should be
used for the unused Category 5, UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces
the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode
sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45, 100BaseTX port circuitry in the
PA-FE-TX.
Depending on your RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts in Figure 1-9 and
Figure 1-10.

Depending on the type of media you use between the MII connection on the port adapter and your
switch or hub, the network side of your 100BaseT transceiver should be appropriately equipped with
ST-type connectors (for optical fiber), BNC connectors, and so forth. Figure 1-13 shows the pin
orientation of the female MII connector on the port adapter. The port adapters are field-replaceable
units (FRUs).
The MII receptacle uses 2-56 screw-type locks, called jackscrews (shown in Figure 1-13), to secure
the cable or transceiver to the MII port. MII cables and transceivers have knurled thumbscrews that
you fasten to the jackscrews on the PA-FE-TX’s MII connector. Use the jackscrews to provide strain
relief for your MII cable. Figure 1-13 shows the MII female connector (receptacle).
Caution Before you attach your MII transceiver to the MII receptacle on your PA-FE port adapter,
ensure that your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4.
“PHY Address” of the IEEE 802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result.
Confirm that this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver’s vendor or in
the transceiver’s documentation. If a selection for Isolation Mode is available, we recommend you
use this setting (if no mention is made of PHY addressing).

Fast Ethernet Overview
Fast Ethernet Overview
The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access collision detect
(CSMA/CD), LANs that generally conform to Ethernet specifications, including Fast Ethernet under
IEEE 802.3u.
Note 100BaseTX is intended for Environment A, and 100BaseFX is intended for Environment B.
IEEE 802.3u is well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry
sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at high peak data rates. Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access
the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see if it is already
in use. If it is, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits; this is half-duplex
operation. A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, hear none, and transmit
almost simultaneously. When this happens, both transmissions are damaged, and the stations must
retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff algorithms to determine when they
should retransmit.
Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u are broadcast networks, which means that all stations see all
transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine whether it is the intended
destination and, if it is, pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing.
IEEE 802.3u specifies the following different physical layers for 100BaseT:
• 100BaseTX—100BaseT, half and full duplex over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP),
Electronics Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association
[EIA/TIA]–568-compliant cable
• 100BaseFX—100BaseT, half and full duplex over optical fiber
• 100BaseT4—100BaseT, half and full duplex over Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP or foil twisted-pair
(FTP) cabling with four pairs; also called 4T+ or T2, which is 2-pair UTP over Category 3 cable.
Each physical layer protocol has a name that summarizes its characteristics in the format
speed/signaling method/segment length, where speed is the LAN speed in Mbps, signaling method
is either baseband or broadband, and segment length is typically the maximum length between
stations in hundreds of meters. Therefore, 100BaseT specifies a 100-Mbps, baseband LAN with
maximum network segments.

In Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers, PA-FE-FX and PA-FE-TX require the following
VIP2 models:
• VIP2-15 (1 MB of SRAM, 8 MB of DRAM)
• VIP2-40 (2 MB of SRAM, 32 MB of DRAM)
• VIP2-50 (4 to 8 MB of SRAM, 32 to 128 MB of DRAM)
Note The minimum recommended VIP2 model is a VIP2-15. The maximum transmission unit
(MTU) size available for two Fast Ethernet port adapters on a VIP2 require the additional VIP2
SRAM available on VIP2-15 models, or greater, to ensure adequate packet buffers. The VIP2-15 can
also be used if you only have one Fast Ethernet port adapter on a VIP2.
The VIP2-10 has certain configuration constraints because of its limited SRAM for packet buffers;
therefore, we do not recommend you use VIP2-10 with Fast Ethernet port adapters.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist and never assume that power has
been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment
unsafe. Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded
power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone
wiring or to other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, can result 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:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are
properly seated.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
• Place a removed component board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding
container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static
shielding container.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement
should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

FCC Class B Compliance
FCC Class B Compliance
The equipment described in this document generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it
is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with
radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These
specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the
interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices.
If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference
by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That
is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different
circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval

VIP2 and the PA-FE Port Adapters
This chapter provides information on the PA-FE-TX and the PA-FE-FX port adapters and their use
in the VIP2 in Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers. This chapter contains the following
sections:
• Installation Overview, page 3-1
• Removing a Port Adapter, page 3-4
• Installing a Port Adapter, page 3-6
Installation Overview
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.
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.
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, then remove the blank port adapter.
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 to allow proper air flow through the chassis. If you plan to install a new port
adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.

Removing a Port Adapter
Use the following standard procedure to remove a port adapter from a VIP2:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do
not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
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
Step 3
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.
Remove the VIP2 from the system. To do so, follow the steps in the section “Removing
a VIP2” in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor
(VIP2) Installation and Configuration, which shipped with your VIP2. Place the removed
VIP2 on an antistatic mat.

Cisco 7200 Series and the PA-FE
Port Adapters
This chapter provides information on the PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX port adapters and their use in
the Cisco 7200 series routers. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Installation Overview, page 4-1
• Removing a Port Adapter, page 4-2
• Installing a Port Adapter, page 4-4
Note The Cisco 7206VXR and the Cisco 7206 can be used as router shelves in a Cisco AS5800
Universal Access Server. For information about the Cisco 7206VXR and the Cisco 7206 as router
shelves, see the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines.
Installation Overview
You might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router or replace a failed port
adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port adapters available for the
Cisco 7200 series routers connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a
port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you need an antistatic mat onto
which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a
failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
Note Cisco 7200 series routers support online insertion and removal (OIR); therefore, you do not
have to power down the routers when removing and replacing a PA-FE.
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the port adapters. If
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port
adapter.
The PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX can be installed in any available port adapter slot in Cisco 7200 series
routers. Figure 4-1 shows a Cisco 7206 with a PA-FE-TX installed in slot 4.

Cisco uBR7200 Series and the
PA-FE Port Adapters
This chapter provides information on the PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX port adapters and their use in
Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Installation Overview, page 5-1
• Removing a Port Adapter, page 5-2
• Installing a Port Adapter, page 5-4
Installation Overview
You might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router
or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, no tools are necessary; all port adapters
available for the Cisco uBR7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into
position by a port adapter lever (Cisco uBR7223) or retention clip (Cisco UBR7246). When
removing and replacing a port adapter, you need an antistatic mat onto which you can place a
removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for
shipment back to the factory.
Note Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers support online insertion and
removal (OIR); therefore, you do not have to power down the routers when removing and replacing
a PA-FE.
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the port adapters. If
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port
adapter.
The PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX can be installed in any of the available port adapter slots in a
Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router. Figure 5-1 shows a PA-FE-TX installed in port
adapter slot 2 of a Cisco uBR7200 series router.

Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7100
series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. All port adapters available for the Cisco 7100
series connect directly to the router and are locked into position by a locking tab with two screws
(see Figure 6-1 or Figure 6-2). You need a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws.
Note Cisco 7100 series routers support online insertion and removal (OIR); therefore, you do not
have to power down the router when removing and replacing a port adapter.
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the port adapters. If
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port
adapter.

Installing PA-FE Port Adapter
Interface Cables
To continue your PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX port adapter installation, you must install the port
adapter’s interface cables. The following instructions apply to all supported platforms. This chapter
contains the following sections:
• PA-FE Port Adapter RJ-45 and MII Connections, page 7-1
• Attaching PA-FE Port Adapter Interface Cables, page 7-1
PA-FE Port Adapter RJ-45 and MII Connections
On a single PA-FE, you can use either the RJ-45 (or SC for PA-FE-FX) connection or the MII
connection. (RJ-45, SC, and MII cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available
from outside commercial cable vendors.) If you have two PA-FE port adapters on your VIP2, you
can use the RJ-45 (or SC for PA-FE-FX) connection on one port adapter and the MII connection on
the other port adapter.
Caution Before you attach your MII transceiver to the MII receptacle on your PA-FE, ensure that
your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY
Address” of the IEEE 802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that
this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver’s vendor or in the
transceiver’s documentation. If a selection for Isolation Mode is available, we recommend you use
this setting (if no mention is made of PHY addressing).
Attaching PA-FE Port Adapter Interface Cables
Use the following procedure to connect RJ-45, SC (PA-FE-FX), or MII cables:
Step 1
If you have MII connections, attach an MII cable directly to the MII receptacle on the
PA-FE or attach a 100BaseT transceiver, with the media appropriate to your application,
to the MII receptacle on the PA-FE. (See Figure 7-1 for the PA-FE-TX and Figure 7-2 for
the PA-FE-FX.)
If you have RJ-45 connections, attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to the RJ-45 port
on the PA-FE. (See Figure 7-1 for PA-FE-TX and Figure 7-2 for PA-FE-FX.) The PA-FE
is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the PA-FE to a repeater or
hub.
If you have an SC connection (PA-FE-FX), attach the cable directly to the SC port on the
PA-FE-FX. (See Figure 7-2.) Use either one duplex SC connector or two simplex SC
connectors, and observe the correct relationship between the receive (R) and transmit (T)
ports on the PA-FE-FX and your repeater.

Attaching PA-FE Port Adapter Interface Cables
Note Each PA-FE-FX or PA-FE-TX can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or
SC) attachment, but not both simultaneously. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles
represent two physical connection options for one Fast Ethernet interface.

Attaching PA-FE Port Adapter Interface Cables
Step 2
For the PA-FE-TX, attach the ferrite bead to the RJ-45 cable (at either end), as shown in
Figure 7-3.
Caution The ferrite bead prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the
PA-FE-TX-equipped system and is a required component for proper system operation.
Figure 7-3
Attaching the Ferrite Bead around the RJ-45 Cable
Ferrite bead

with ferrite bead
Caution To prevent problems on your PA-FE and network, do not simultaneously connect RJ-45
(or SC) and MII cables to one PA-FE. On a single PA-FE, only one network connection can be used
at one time. Only connect cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards. (See Table 1-1 and
Table 1-2 in the “Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” section on page 1-5 for cable recommendations
and specifications.)
Step 3
Attach the network end of your RJ-45 (SC) or MII cable to your 100BaseT transceiver,
switch, hub, repeater, DTE, or other external 100BaseT equipment.
Note After your MII transceiver is connected and the PA-FE interface is configured as
up, you can verify that your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address
0 by disconnecting the transceiver from the MII receptacle; if the PA-FE interface goes
down, then your MII transceiver responds to PHY address 0.
This completes the PA-FE port adapter cable installation.

Configuring PA-FE Port Adapter
Interfaces
To continue your PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX port adapter installation, you must configure the
PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX interfaces. The following instructions apply to all supported platforms.
Minor differences between the platforms are noted. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Using the EXEC Command Interpreter, page 8-2
• Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and PA-FE Interface Port Numbers, page 8-2
• Performing a Basic Configuration, page 8-6
• Checking the Configuration, page 8-9
After you verify that the new PA-FE interface is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use
the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Have the following
information available:
• Protocols you plan to route on each new interface
• IP addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing
• A decision about the use of bridging on the new interfaces
The configure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which
usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level
access.
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the Fast
Ethernet interfaces on the supported platforms, refer to the documentation resources listed in the
“Related Documentation” section on page vi.
Note You can configure each PA-FE interface on a PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX at 100 Mbps, half
duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps. Half-duplex operation is
the default.
You can configure each PA-FE interface on a PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX at 100 Mbps, half duplex, for
a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.
You can configure each PA-FE interface on a PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX port adapter at 100 Mbps, full
duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 400 Mbps.
You can configure one PA-FE interface at 100 Mbps, half duplex, and the second FE interface at 100
Mbps, full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 300 Mbps.

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
You modify the configuration of your router through the software command interpreter called the
EXEC. You must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (also called enable
mode) with the enable command before you can use the configure command to configure a new
interface or to change the existing configuration of an interface. The system prompts you for a
password if one has been set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket
(>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:
Step 1
At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for
a privileged-level password as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Step 2
Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password
is not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system
prompt (#):
Router#
If you installed a new PA-FE or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you
must enter configuration mode using the configuration command. If you replaced an interface that
was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interface and brings it up in its existing
configuration.
Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and PA-FE Interface Port
Numbers
The following section describes how to identify the chassis slot, port adapter slot, and PA-FE
interface port numbers for Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco uBR7200
series universal broadband routers, and the VIP2.
Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco uBR7200 Series Ports
Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. On
Cisco 7200 series routers and Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers, this address is
composed of two parts in the format port adapter slot number/interface port number, as follows:
• The first number identifies the slot in which the PA-FE is installed.
• The second number identifies the interface port on the PA-FE, which is always numbered as
interface 0.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, physical port addresses are
composed of a three-part number in the format shelf number/port adapter slot number/interface port
number, where the shelf number is a number assigned to the router shelf during the initial
configuration of the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server. A Cisco AS5800 Universal Access
Server can consist of several shelves; therefore, each shelf is assigned a shelf number.
The Cisco 7206VXR and the Cisco 7206 can be used as router shelves in a Cisco AS5800 Universal
Access Server. For information about the Cisco 7206VXR and the Cisco 7206 as router shelves, see
the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines.
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/interface port location on the front
of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all
interfaces in the router.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or
removed from the slot. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the port adapter
slot number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.
In Cisco 7200 series routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right,
beginning with port adapter slot 1 and continuing through port adapter slot 2 for the Cisco 7202,
slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR.
Port adapter slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.
Figure 8-1 shows the interface port of a PA-FE-TX installed in slot 4 of a Cisco 7206.

Note: The MII and RJ-45 interface ports on
the port adapter are both numbered as
interface port 0. Only one interface can be
used on each port adapter at a time.
Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. You can install both I/O
controller types in all Cisco 7200 series routers; however, when you install an I/O controller with a
Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202, the system software automatically disables the port.

Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and PA-FE Interface Port Numbers
The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of additional ports depends
on the number of ports on a port adapter. For example, if the PA-FE in slot 4 (with the interface
address 4/0 [port adapter slot 4, and interface port 0]) were in slot 2, the port adapter’s interface
would be numbered 2/0.
Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the PA-FE in port adapter slot 4
would have the address x/4/0, where x is the number assigned to the router shelf during the initial
configuration of the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server.
Figure 8-2 shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a Cisco uBR7200 series router. For a
Cisco uBR7246, the port adapter slots are numbered 1 and 2 and for a Cisco uBR7223, the port
adapter slot in numbered 1. (Slot 0 is always reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O
controller—if present.) The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of
additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter.

(port number 2/0)
Note:
The Mll and RJ-45 interface ports on
the port adapter are both numbered as
interface port 0. Only one interface can
be used on each port adapter at a time.
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/interface port location on the front
of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all
interfaces in the router.
VIP2 Ports
On the VIP2 installed in Cisco 7500 series or Cisco 7000 series routers, physical port addresses
specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router interface processor end. (See
Figure 8-3.) However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the first number in the address
changes to reflect the new chassis slot number. This address is composed of a three-part number in
the format chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number, as follows:
• The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the VIP2 is installed (as shown in the
example system in Figure 8-3).
• The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, either 0 or 1.
• The third number identifies the interface port on the PA-FE, which is always numbered as
interface 0.

Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and thirteen-slot
Cisco 7513 are vertically oriented and those in the five-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are
horizontally oriented, all models use the same method for slot and port numbering.
Interface ports on the VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface
processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the first
number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.
Figure 8-3 shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 router.
The first port adapter slot number is 0, and the second port adapter slot number is 1. The individual
FE interface numbers are always 0. For example, on the FE-equipped VIP2 in slot 3 (see Figure 8-3),
the address of the FE interface is 3/0/0 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface
port 0). If a second PA-FE were installed in port adapter slot 1 on this VIP2, its address would be
3/1/0.
Note If you remove the PA-FE-equipped VIP2 (see Figure 8-3) from slot 3 and install it in interface
processor slot 2, the address of this FE port becomes 2/0/0.

You can also identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port
location on the back of the router or by using software commands to display information about a
specific interface or all interfaces in the router.
Cisco 7100 Series Ports
In Cisco 7100 series routers, the slot number is the location in the chassis where the interface resides
and the port number is the physical port. Interfaces in the Cisco IOS software are identified by a type,
slot number, and port number. For example, serial 3/1 indicates port 1 on the serial port adapter in
slot 3.
Slots in the Cisco 7120 series routers are numbered as shown in Figure 8-4. The fixed LAN interface
is slot 0, the fixed WAN interface is slot 1, and the modular port adapter interface is slot 3. On the
Cisco 7120 series slots 2 and 4 are not used. Slot 5 is the service adapter.

Performing a Basic Configuration
Following are instructions for a basic configuration enabling an interface and specifying IP routing.
You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands, depending on the requirements for
your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface. For more information
on FE interface configurations on supported platforms, refer to the modular configuration and
modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation
set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
In the following procedure, press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time
you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as
follows:
Router# disable
Router>
8-6
PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX Fast Ethernet 100BaseT Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Use the following sample basic configuration procedure:
Step 1
At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console
terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2
The following examples explain how to configure the fastethernet interface:
• For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, at the
prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface,
followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/interface (port adapter slot number and
interface number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the port adapter
in slot 4:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0
Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the interface specified in
the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command interface
fastethernet 5/4/0 would specify the first FE interface of the port adapter in slot 4 of
router shelf 5.
• For the VIP2, at the prompt specify the first interface to configure by entering the
subcommand interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and
slot/port-adapter/interface. The example that follows is for the first interface of the
first port adapter, on a VIP2 in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 1/0/0
Step 3
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to
the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following
example:
Router(config-int)# ip address 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
Step 4
Step 5
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and
set the interface characteristics.
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-int)# no shutdown
Step 6
Step 7
Configure additional interfaces as required.
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.
Step 8
Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
[OK]
Router#
This completes the procedure for creating a basic configuration. To check the interface configuration
using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the Configuration” section on page 8-9.

Performing a Basic Configuration
Configuring PA-FE Transmission Mode
Half-duplex operation is the default transmission mode for the PA-FE. Use the full-duplex
command to configure full-duplex operation for the PA-FE as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0
Router(config-if)# full-duplex
Ctrl-z
Use the show interfaces fastethernet command to verify that the 4/0 Fast Ethernet interface is now
configured for full-duplex operation as follows:
Router# show interfaces fastethernet 4/0
FastEthernet 4/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
(display text omitted)
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, fdx, 100BaseTX
Use the no full-duplex command to return the interface to half-duplex operation as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0
Router(config-if)# no full-duplex
Ctrl-z
Router#
Use the show interfaces fastethernet command to verify that the 4/0 Fast Ethernet interface is now
configured for half-duplex operation as follows:
Router# show interfaces fastethernet 4/0
FastEthernet2/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
(display text omitted)
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, 100BaseTX
(display text omitted)To check the interface configuration using show commands,
proceed to the “Checking the Configuration” section on page 8-9.
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the
Configuration” section on page 8-9.
Configuring PA-FE Media Type
The RJ-45 receptacle is the default media type for PA-FE-TX and the SC receptacle (for fiber-optic
connections) is the default media type for the PA-FE-FX. Use the media-type mii command to
configure the MII receptacle as the media type for the PA-FE as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 4/0
Router(config-if)# media-type mii
Ctrl-z
Router# show interface fastethernet 4/0
FastEthernet3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
(display text omitted)
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, MII
(display text omitted)
Use the media-type 100 command to return the media type for the PA-FE’s to the RJ-45 receptacle
or SC receptacle.

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the “Checking the
Configuration” section on page 8-9.
Checking the Configuration
After configuring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new
interface or all interfaces and the ping command to check connectivity.
Using show Commands to Verify the New Interface Status
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and
operating correctly.
Step 1
Step 2
Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure
that the list includes the new interfaces.
Display the current port adapters and interfaces as follows:
• For the Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and the Cisco uBR7200 series, display
all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers command.
Verify that the new PA-FE appears in the correct slot.
• For the VIP2, display all 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 the new interfaces as follows:
• For the Cisco 7100, Cisco 7200 series and the Cisco uBR7200 series, specify one of
the new interfaces with the show interfaces port adapter type slot/interface 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.
Note For the Cisco 7206VXR and Cisco 7206 router shelves, the show interfaces
command requires a shelf number in the format show interfaces type shelf number/port
adapter slot/interface.
• For the VIP2, specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type
slot/port-adapter/interface 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
Step 5
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the
show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove
protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.
Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Display
the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify
that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.

Proceed to the next section, “Using the ping Command”, to verify that each interface port is
functioning properly.
Using the ping Command
The ping command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check
the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you
verify that the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify
the status of interface ports. Refer to the documentation resources listed in the “Related
Documentation” section on page vi for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you
specify. After sending an echo request, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to
reply. Each echo reply appears as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that
is not returned before the specified timeout appears as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
