The VIP6-80 is available for use as an option with the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, Cisco 7576, and the Cisco 7000 series routers. The VIP6-80 is not currently available as an upgrade to an existing VIP.

The VIP6-80 has a main processor and memory. When distributed switching is enabled on the router, the VIP6-80 can make packet switching decisions to help reduce the load on the Route Switch Processor (RSP). Interfaces located on port adapters that fit into the VIP6-80 connect the router to the external network. Either one dual-width or two single-width PAs can be used on the VIP6-80. See the “Port Adapter Slots” section on page 7 for more information.

The VIP6-80 supports OIR. VIP6-80 PAs do not support OIR, so you must first remove the VIP6-80 before removing or installing the PAs.

The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload (SLCR), a feature which speeds recovery of a failed router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. For more information, refer to “Single Line Card Reload” section on page 32.

Table 1 outlines features of the VIP6-80 model.
