Install Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)

Check the Interface Processor or VIP Installation

Note When a new VIP is inserted or when a VIP is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the new interfaces, but leaves them in the shutdown state until you conﬁgure them. After the system reinitializes all interfaces, the enabled LED on the port adapters and on all interface processors, VIPs, and RSPs should go on, depending on your connections and conﬁguration.

Step 1 Observe the console display messages when the system reinitializes each interface as follows:

•For a new interface processor or VIP, the system should recognize all new interfaces, but leave them conﬁgured as down.

•For a replaced interface processor or VIP, the system should recognize each interface and place it in the same state (up or down) each was in when you removed the interface processor or VIP.

Step 2 Verify that the enabled LED on each port adapter goes on and remains on.

If the enabled LED on a port adapter fails to go on, the interface processor or VIP may not be fully seated in the backplane. Refer to Appendix A in the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Conﬁguration Guide.

Step 3 If the VIP is new, conﬁgure the new interfaces.

•Enter the enable command at the EXEC prompt (>), and then enter a privileged-level password, as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Router#

•Use the conﬁgure command to conﬁgure the interface processor or VIP.

•Refer to the appropriate conﬁguration section of your port adapter documentation to conﬁgure the port adapter.

Step 4 If the VIP is a replacement, use the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/port or show controllers cbus command to verify the status of the interfaces.

If you replaced a VIP with a new VIP with a greater number of ports (for example, if you replaced a single-port adapter VIP with a dual-port adapter VIP), the system will recognize the interfaces on the previously conﬁgured port adapter, but will not recognize the additional port adapter interfaces. The new interfaces will remain in the shutdown state until you conﬁgure them.

Step 5 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each interface by observing the status LEDs, which are described in the LED section of your port adapter documentation.

7505 specifications

The Cisco Systems 7505 is a robust and versatile router that has been a key player in the networking landscape since its introduction in the 1990s. Known for its reliability and performance, the 7505 is well-suited for enterprise environments that demand high-capacity networking solutions.

This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for businesses that are looking to scale their network infrastructure as needs evolve.

The Cisco 7505 supports a variety of protocols, including IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and more. This multi-protocol support ensures that organizations can integrate the router into diverse environments, facilitating seamless communication across different systems. The device is also equipped with advanced routing features such as policy-based routing, which allows for improved traffic management and prioritization based on business requirements.

Another essential characteristic of the Cisco 7505 is its performance capabilities. The router is designed to handle high volumes of traffic, making it suitable for both enterprise-level and service provider networks. With support for multiple interfaces and the ability to handle both WAN and LAN traffic, the 7505 can serve as a central hub in complex networking setups.

In terms of security, the Cisco 7505 offers several built-in features to safeguard network integrity. It supports access control lists (ACLs), virtual private networking (VPN), and encryption technologies, providing organizations with tools to protect sensitive data as it traverses the network.

The Cisco 7505 also emphasizes ease of management with its user-friendly Command Line Interface (CLI) and integration with Cisco’s network management tools. This simplifies monitoring, troubleshooting, and configuration processes, allowing network administrators to maintain optimal performance with minimal downtime.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7505 is a formidable router that combines modularity, multi-protocol support, performance, security, and ease of management. Its features make it an excellent choice for organizations seeking a reliable and versatile networking solution to meet their evolving demands.
