Functional Overview
This section provides a functional overview of the Cisco 7200 VXR routers. It describes the numbering
and addressing scheme of the port adapters for the router, the environmental monitoring and reporting
functions, and online insertion and removal (OIR). These descriptions help you become familiar with
the capabilities of the Cisco 7200 VXR routers.
Chassis Slot and Logical Interface Numbering
In the Cisco 7200 VXR routers, the port-adapter-slot-number is the chassis slot in which a port adapter

adapter.
Port adapter slots in the Cisco 7200 VXR routers are numbered from left to right— slot 1 through slot 4
