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.

PA-FE-FX, PA-FE-TX specifications

Cisco Systems PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX are essential components in the realm of network switching and connectivity. These Peripheral Adapter modules are designed for use in Cisco 7000 series routers, catering to the needs of high-performance networking and offering robust features.

The PA-FE-TX module is equipped with fast Ethernet ports that provide high-speed network connectivity through twisted-pair cabling. This module supports 10/100 Mbps data rates, making it ideal for connecting end-user devices to the network while ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. Its auto-sensing capability facilitates smooth integration into varying network environments, allowing for seamless communication and data transfer.

On the other hand, the PA-FE-FX module is tailored for fiber optic connections, enabling high-speed data transmission over longer distances. This module supports multimode and single-mode fiber options, catering to diverse connectivity requirements. The PA-FE-FX is essential for organizations that require extended reach and minimal signal degradation, making it suitable for large campuses, data centers, and urban networking.

Both modules leverage Cisco's advanced technologies, including Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities and enhanced security features. These protocols ensure efficient bandwidth management and prioritize critical applications, improving overall network performance. Additionally, they support features such as VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) tagging, enabling network segmentation and improved traffic management.

The physical design of these modules adheres to Cisco's standards, ensuring easy installation and hot-swappable capabilities. This means network administrators can replace or upgrade the modules without taking the entire system offline, providing greater flexibility and reducing downtime.

In summary, Cisco's PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX modules are integral components for organizations seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure. With their support for both copper and fiber optic connections, they provide versatile options for connecting devices, extending network reach, and improving data transfer speeds. Their compatibility with advanced networking technologies further emphasizes Cisco's commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable networking solutions for businesses of all sizes.
