Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites

This section provides software requirements, a list of parts and tools you will need to perform the port adapter installation, and safety and ESD-prevention guidelines to help you avoid injury and damage to the equipment during installation. Also included is information on the systems in which port adapters can be installed and overview information on interface specifications.

The following sections discuss general information and information about port adapter installation requirements:

Software and Hardware Requirements

The 5EFL port adapter requires that the host Cisco 7000 family router is running Cisco IOS Release 11.1(471), or later, and that the host Cisco 7200 series router is running Cisco IOS Release 11.1(472) or later.

Caution The VIP2 requires that the Cisco 7000 series router has the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed. The VIP2 will not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the Cisco 7000 series router.

List of Parts and Tools

You need the following tools and parts to install a port adapter. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

PA-5EFL(=) port adapter
Cables appropriate for the port adapter interfaces (ST-type optical-fiber cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable vendors.)
Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, flat-blade screwdriver (for VIP2 installation only)
Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, FRUs, and spares

Safety Guidelines

Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.

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.
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, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules comprise 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.

Ethernet and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Overview

The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD) local-area networks (LANs) that generally conform to Ethernet specifications, including IEEE 802.3. Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 were based on, and developed shortly after, Ethernet Version 1. The slight differences between Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are implemented in hardware, and both are supported automatically by the 5EFL without any hardware configuration changes. Together, Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are the most widely used LAN protocols. They are well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at high peak data rates.

The term 10BASE-FL is an abbreviation for 10 Mbps transmission, Baseband medium, F for fiber, and L for link, as defined in the 10BASE-FL specification. The Ethernet specifications call the 5EFL device a transceiver, and it is connected to the station with a transceiver cable. The 5EFL port adapter is not an end station. The IEEE 802.3 specifications refer to the same type of device as a media attachment unit (MAU). Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see of it is already in use. If it is, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits. A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, hear none, and transmit 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 802.3 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 802.3 specifies several different physical layers, and Ethernet defines only one. Each IEEE 802.3 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 the signaling method used (either Baseband or Broadband), and segment length is the maximum length between stations in hundreds of meters. The maximum distances for Ethernet network segments and connections depend on the type of transmission cable used; for example, fiber-optic cable (10BASE-FL).

IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications

Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and Ethernet 10BASE-FL.

What Is the 5EFL Port Adapter?

The 5EFL port adapter provides up to five IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces. (See Figure 1.) Each Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface allows a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps, half-duplex. Each 10BASE-FL interface uses two multimode (ST) receptacles for receive (RX) and transmit (TX). All five ports run at wire speed. Figure 1 shows a 5EFL port adapter.

Figure 1 : 5EFL Port Adapter, Faceplate View

The 8E port adapter can be installed on the VIP2 in port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1, or in the Cisco 7200 series routers in any of the chassis' port adapter slots: 1 through 6 for the Cisco 7206. Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown to allow a full view of detail on the port adapter's faceplate.

The following sections discuss information specific the 5EFL port adapter:

Port Adapter Locations on the VIP2 and in the Cisco 7200 Series Routers

Figure 2 shows a VIP2 with installed port adapters. With the VIP2 oriented as shown in Figure 2, the left port adapter is in port adapter slot 0, and the right port adapter is in port adapter slot 1. Port adapters have handles that allow for easy installation and removal; however, they are occasionally not shown in this publication to highlight port adapter faceplate detail. In the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 chassis the VIP2 is installed vertically. In the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis the VIP2 is installed horizontally.

Figure 2 : Two Port Adapters on the VIP2 (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

Figure 3 shows a Cisco 7206 with port adapters installed. In the Cisco 7206, port adapter slot 1 is in the lower left position and port adapter slot 6 is in the upper right position.

Figure 3 : Port Adapters in the Cisco 7206

5EFL Port Adapter LEDs

The 5EFL port adapter contains the enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and one status LED for each port, called the link LED. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the 5EFL port adapter has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 4.) The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:

The 5EFL interface is correctly connected and receiving power
The 5EFL-equipped card or chassis contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded successfully
The bus recognizes the 5EFL port adapter or 5EFL-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. When a 10BASE-FL port is active, its link LED is on when the 5EFL port adapter is receiving a carrier signal from the network.

Figure 4 : LEDs on the 5EFL Port Adapter, Partial Faceplate View

5EFL Port Adapter Multimode Fiber-Optic Cable and Receptacles

The interface connectors on the 5EFL port adapter are five pairs of (ST) receptacles, designated as RX and TX. You can use all five connection pairs simultaneously or any combination of each pair individually. Each connection pair supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. Figure 5 shows the ST fiber-optic cable plug used for RX and TX connections.

Figure 5 : Ethernet 10BASE-FL Fiber-Optic Cable Plug (ST Type)

Note The 5EFL interfaces on a VIP2 are configured for 10 Mbps, half duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 50 Mbps for half-duplex. Cisco Systems does not supply ST-type optical-fiber cables; these cables are available commercially. For ST-type, multimode optical-fiber cable specifications and transmission distance limitations and requirements, refer to the section "IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL Specifications" on page 6.

VIP2 and the 5EFL Port Adapter

The 5EFL port adapter (see Figure 1) can be installed on the VIP2 in port adapter slot 0 and port adapter slot 1. Figure 6 shows a VIP2 with a 5EFL port adapter installed. Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter's faceplate.

Figure 6 : VIP2 with One 5EFL Port Adapter Installed (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

The following sections include information specific to the 5EFL port adapter and its use on the VIP2 in Cisco 7000 family routers:

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2

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. The following procedures should be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider only. While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), 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 so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.

Following is the standard procedure for removing and replacing any type of port adapter on the VIP2:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

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 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.

Step 3 To remove the VIP2 from the chassis, follow the steps in the section "Removing a VIP2" in the configuration note Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation, Configuration, and Maintenance (Document Number 78-2658-xx), which shipped with your VIP2.

Step 4 Place the removed VIP2 on an antistatic mat.

Step 5 Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See Figure 7.) This screw secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.

Figure 7 : Location of Port Adapter Screw, Partial Port Adapter View

Step 6 Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).

Step 7 With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of the slot. (See Figure 8.)

Figure 8 : Pulling a Port Adapter Out of a Slot, Partial Port Adapter View

Step 8 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.

Step 9 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 9.)

Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the rear of the port adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in the cutaway in Figure 9.

Figure 9 : Removing a Port Adapter

Step 10 Before you begin to insert the new port adapter in its slot, verify that the port adapter carrier should be between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in Figure 11. Do not jam the carrier between the slot edges.

Caution To ensure a positive ground attachment between the port adapter carrier and the VIP2 motherboard and port adapter slot, and to ensure that the connectors at the rear of the port adapter and slot mate properly, the carrier must be between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in Figure 10.

Step 11 Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot until the connector on the port adapter is completely mated with the connector on the motherboard.

Figure 10 : Aligning the Carrier Edge with Upper and Lower Slot Edges, Partial View

Step 12 Install the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot. (See Figure 7 for its location.) Do not overtighten this screw.

Step 13 To replace the VIP2 in the chassis, follow the steps in the section "Installing a VIP2," in the configuration note Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2) Installation, Configuration, and Maintenance (Document Number 78-2658-xx), which shipped with your VIP2.

Step 14 If disconnected, reconnect the interface cables to the interface processor.

This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter or replacing a port adapter on a VIP2.

Attaching 5EFL Port Adapter Interface Cables

On a single 5EFL port adapter, you can use up to five pairs of ST fiber-optic connections. The 5EFL port adapter is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the 5EFL port adapter to a 10BASE-FL repeater or hub. ST-type fiber-optic cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable vendors.

Connect ST fiber-optic cables to the 5EFL port adapter as follows:

Step 1 Attach the RX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the RX port on the 5EFL port adapter. (See Figure 11.)

Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter's faceplate.

Step 2 Attach the TX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the TX port on the 5EFL port adapter. (See Figure 11.)

Figure 11 : Connecting 5EFL Port Adapter ST Cable Pairs

Step 3 Connect a 5EFL RX port to the appropriate TX port of the repeater, hub, DTE or other external 10BASE-FL equipment.

Step 4 Connect a 5EFL TX port to the appropriate RX port of the repeater, hub, DTE or other external 10BASE-FL equipment.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 1 and 4 for each additional 5EFL interface connection you require.

This completes cable connection to the 5EFL port adapter.

Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces

If you installed a new 5EFL port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter Configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a 5EFL port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 5EFL interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration.

After you verify that the new 5EFL port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the information you will need, such as the following:

Protocols you plan to route on each new interface.
Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing.
Whether the new interfaces will use bridging.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 5EFL interfaces on the VIP2, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the section "If You Need More Information" on page 2.

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.

Selecting Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Interface Port Numbers

The following section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface port numbers.

Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and 13-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.

In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router interface processor end. (See Figure 12.) 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 12).
The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.
The third number indicates the interface ports on each 5EFL port adapter are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 4.

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 12 shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. For example, on a VIP2 equipped with a 5EFL port adapter in slot 3, the addresses of the first 5EFL port adapter are 3/0/0 through 3/0/4 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0--4), and the addresses of the second 5EFL port adapter are 3/1/0 through 3/1/4 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0--4)

The first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter slot number is always 1. The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. For example, in Figure 12, the five 10BASE-FL interface ports on the 5EFL port adapter in the first port adapter slot in chassis slot 3, have the following addresses: 3/0/0, 3/0/1, 3/0/2, 3/0/3, and 3/0/4. (See Figure 12.) The interfaces on the second 5EFL port adapter have the following addresses: 3/1/0, 3/1/1, 3/1/2, 3/1/3, and 3/1/4.

Note If you remove the 5EFL-equipped VIP2 from slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the addresses of those same 10BASE-FL ports become 2/0/0 through 2/0/4 and 2/1/0 through 2/1/4.

Figure 12 : 10BASE-FL Interface Port Number Example (Cisco 7505 Shown)

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port location on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

Configuring Interfaces

The following steps describe a basic configuration. 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>

Following is an example of a basic configuration procedure:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter Configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be 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 At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (ethernet) and slot/port adapter/interface (interface processor slot number). 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


e 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 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0

Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.

Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:


Router(config-int)#


 no shutdown

Step 6 Configure additional interfaces as required.

Step 7 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#

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section "Checking the Configuration."

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 VIP2 Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly.

Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list includes the new interfaces.

Step 2 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 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 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.

Step 5 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.

If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.

Using show Commands to Display Interface Information

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 slot/port adapter/port].

Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In these examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the five Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces (0--4) are in chassis slot 3, in port adapter slot 0. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.)

Using the ping Command

The packet internet groper (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. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the system and VIP2 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the section "If You Need More Information" on page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed 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.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:

Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active 
(powered on), and repeat the ping command.

Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter

The 5EFL port adapter is used in the Cisco 7200 series routers and can be installed in any of the available port adapter slots. Figure 13 shows a Cisco 7206 with a 5EFL port adapter installed in port adapter slot 2.

Figure 13 : Cisco 7206 with a 5EFL Port Adapter in Port Adapter Slot 2

The following sections discuss information that is specific to the 5EFL port adapter and its use in the Cisco 7200 series routers:

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers

Depending on your circumstances, 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 connect directly to the router midplane and are locked into position by a port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will 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 The Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down the Cisco 7200 series routers when removing and replacing a 5EFL 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 air flow 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.

Removing a Port Adapter

Following is the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Place the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot in the unlocked position. The port adapter lever remains in the unlocked position. (Refer to Figure 14.)

Figure 14 : Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Unlocked Position (Cisco 7206 shown)

Step 3 Grasp the handle on the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the midplane, about half way out of its slot. If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter from the chassis slot.

Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router midplane, OIR administratively shuts down all active interfaces on the port adapter.

Step 4 With the port adapter half way out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter.

Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its chassis slot.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter's components or connector pins. (Refer to Figure 15.)

Figure 15 : Handling a Port Adapter

Step 6 Place the port adapter on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward, or in a static shielding bag. If the port adapter will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

This completes the procedure for removing a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router.

Replacing a Port Adapter

Following is the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.

Step 2 Use both hands to grasp the port adapter by its metal carrier edges and position the port adapter so that its components are downward. (Refer to Figure 15).

Step 3 Align the left and right edge of the port adapter metal carrier between the guides in the port adapter slot. (Refer to Figure 16.)

Figure 16 : Aligning the Port Adapter Metal Carrier Between the Slot Guides (Cisco 7206 shown)

Step 4 With the metal carrier aligned in the slot guides, gently slide the port adapter half way into the slot.

Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables. Trying to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router.

Step 5 With the port adapter half way in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.

Step 6 After connecting all required port adapter cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you feel the port adapter's connectors mate with the midplane.

Step 7 After feeling the connector's mate, move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 17 shows the port adapter lever in the locked position.

Note If the port adapter lever does not move to the locked position, the port adapter is not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter half way out of the slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.

Figure 17 : Placing the Port Adapter Lever in the Locked Position (Cisco 7206 shown)

This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200 series router.

Attaching 5EFL Port Adapter Interface Cables

On a single 5EFL port adapter, you can use up to five pairs of ST fiber-optic connections. The 5EFL port adapter is an end station device and not a repeater; you must connect the 5EFL port adapter to a 10BASE-FL repeater or hub. ST-type fiber-optic cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable vendors.

Connect ST fiber-optic cables to the 5EFL port adapter as follows:

Step 1 Attach the RX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the RX port on the 5EFL port adapter. (See Figure 18.)

Note Port adapters have a handle attached, but it is not shown in Figure 18 to allow a full view of the detail on each port adapter's faceplate.

Step 2 Attach the TX multimode fiber-optic cable directly to the TX port on the 5EFL port adapter. (See Figure 18.)

Figure 18 : Connecting 5EFL Port Adapter ST Cable Pairs

Step 3 Connect a 5EFL RX port to the appropriate TX port of the repeater, hub, DTE, or other external 10BASE-FL equipment.

Step 4 Connect a 5EFL TX port to the appropriate RX port of the repeater, hub, DTE, or other external 10BASE-FL equipment.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 1 and 4 for each additional 5EFL interface connection you require.

This completes cable connection to the 5EFL port adapter.

Configuring the 5EFL Interfaces

Protocols you plan to route on each new interface.
Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing.
Whether the new interfaces will use bridging.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 4E interfaces on a Cisco 7200 series router, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the section "If You Need More Information" on page 2.

Selecting Port Adapter Slot and Ethernet 10BASE-FL Interface Port Numbers

The following section describes how to identify port adapter slot and Ethernet 10BASE-FL interface port numbers.

Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See Figure 19.) This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slot number/interface port number, as follows:

The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the in which the 5EFL is installed.
The second number identifies the interface ports on each 5EFL port adapter, which are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 4.

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 first number in the address changes to reflect the new chassis slot number.

Figure 19 shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a Cisco 7206. The port adapter slot numbers start with 1 and continue through 6 (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.

For example, the five interface ports on a 5EFL port adapter in port adapter slot 1 would have the addresses 1/0 through 1/4. (See Figure 19.) If the 5EFL port adapter was in port adapter slot 5, these same interface ports would be numbered 5/0 through 5/4. Port adapters can occupy any port adapter slot. There are no restrictions.

Figure 19 : 10BASE-FL Interface Port Number Example

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.

Configuring Interfaces

The following steps describe a basic interface configuration. 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>

Following is an example of a basic configuration procedure:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter Configuration mode and specify that the console terminal will be 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 At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface, followed by the type (ethernet) 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 2:


Router(config)#


 interface


e 2/0

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 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0

Step 4 Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and set the interface characteristics.

Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:


Router(config-int)#


 no shutdown

Step 6 Configure additional interfaces as required.

Step 7 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#

To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section "Checking the Configuration."

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 Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list includes the new interfaces.

Step 2 Display all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers command. Verify that the new 5EFL port adapter appears in the correct slot.

Step 3 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.

Using show Commands to Display Interface Information

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 slot/port].

Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In these examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the five Ethernet 10BASE-FL interfaces (0--4) are in port adapter slot 2. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.)
