VIP-FE-TX/4E Installation and Configuration
Product Number VIP-FE-TX/4E(=)
This configuration note is a standalone publication that provides instructions for installing,
configuring, and maintaining the Fast Ethernet/Ethernet Versatile Interface Processor
(VIP-FE-TX/4E) in your Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers.
The VIP-FE-TX/4E operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500
series, and requires that the host Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series router is running Cisco
Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.1(1) or later, or a Cisco-approved beta
version of Cisco IOS Release 11.1 or later.
Note
(FRU). Individual port adapters are not available as spare parts.
Included are steps for VIP-FE-TX/4E hardware installation, and basic VIP configuration steps and
examples for configuring the individual interfaces on a new VIP.
This publication has two main sections:
•
•
You need only refer to the information that is specific to your FE-TX and 4E port adapter or that
applies to specific VIP functionality. A table of contents is included on page 2 so you can more easily
find what you need.
Note
for VIP-related interfaces, and which support VIP functionality, refer to the section "If You Need

Figure 9 Handling Processor Modules for Installation and Removal (Horizontal Orientation Shown) Captive installation screws To remove a VIP, follow these steps: Step 1 If you are replacing a failed VIP, disconnect all cables from the VIP ports; however, if you are only moving a VIP to another slot, this step is not necessary.
  • Page 18 Versatile Interface Processor Functions Installing a VIP The VIP slides into the open interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane. The interface processors are keyed to guide pins on the backplane, so the VIP can be installed only in an interface processor slot.

  • Page 19: Checking The Installation And Verifying Vip Status

    Checking the Installation and Verifying VIP Status You can use the configure command to configure a VIP interface. To use the configure command, enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter with the enable command. The system will prompt 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 (>).
  • Page 20 Versatile Interface Processor Functions When a new VIP is inserted or when a VIP is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the Note new interfaces, but leaves them in a shutdown state until you configure them and change their state to up with the configure command.
  • Page 21 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each interface by observing the status Step 7 LEDs, which are described in the appropriate LED section for your port adapter type. In general, if an interface’s LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the port, check Step 8 the cable connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector.
  • Page 22 Versatile Interface Processor Functions The show controllers cbus command displays the internal status of each interface processor, including the slot location, the card hardware version, and the currently-running microcode version. It also lists each interface (port) on each interface processor including the logical interface number, interface type, physical (slot/port adapter/port) address, and hardware (station address) of each interface.

    The bank of three status LEDs indicates the following: • MII—On when the MII port is selected as the active port by the controller. • Link—When the RJ-45 port is active, this LED is on when the FE-TX port adapter is receiving a carrier signal from the network.

Common-mode termination reduces the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources.
  • Page 35 The MII receptacle uses 2-56 screw-type locks, called jackscrews (shown in Figure 19), to secure the cable or transceiver to the MII port. MII cables and transceivers have knurled thumbscrews (screws you can tighten with your fingers) that you fasten to the jackscrews on the FE-TX port adapter’s MII connector.

  • Page 39 Figure 22 shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. For example, on a FE-TX/FE-TX VIP in slot 3, the address of the first Fast Ethernet port adapter is 3/0/0 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface port 0), and the address of the second Fast Ethernet port adapter is 3/1/0 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interface port 0).
  • Page 40 VIP Port Adapter Functions Fast Ethernet interface port adapters are numbered from 0 and 1 because VIPs support up to two 100BASE-T ports. The MII and RJ-45 ports on a port adapter each have the same port number because only one of them can be used at one time. Refer to Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8, and Table 9 for the FE-TX port numbers associated with the interface processor slots in your chassis.
