In the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers, the 5EFL port adapter requires the following VIP2 models:

•

VIP2-15 (1 MB of SRAM, 8 MB of DRAM)

VIP2-20 (1 MB of DRAM, 16 MB of SRAM)

VIP2-40 (2 MB of SRAM, 32 MB of DRAM)

VIP2-50 (4 to 8 MB of SRAM, 32 to 128 MB of DRAM)

Caution To prevent system problems, 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.
