Step 19 If the previous supervisor module was connected to an asynchronous device through a modem, connect the modem cable to the COM1/AUX SERIAL PORT as explained in the “Connecting to the Console” section on page 5-2.

Step 20 Reconnect the network management cable to the MGMT ETH port as explained in “Setting Up the Management Interface” section on page 5-4.

Step 21 Reconnect the CMP cable to the CMP MGMT ETH port as explained in “Connecting the Supervisor CMP Port” section on page 5-5.

Replacing a Supervisor Module in a Single-Supervisor System

If you need to replace the supervisor in a single-supervisor Cisco Nexus 7000 Series system, you must shut down the system before replacing the supervisor.

Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034

Caution Handle the supervisor module carefully using an ESD wrist strap, holding the module only on its carrier edges without touching any electronic circuitry, and placing the module on antistatic mats or antistatic foam when it is not installed in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis.

To replace a supervisor module in a single-supervisor system, do the following:

Step 1 Place an antistatic mat or antistatic foam where you can place the new and old supervisor modules. Step 2 Place the replacement supervisor module on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Step 3 Turn off the power on each of the power supply unit by turning its power switch to standby (STBY). Step 4 Disconnect all of the cables attached to the front of the module to be removed.

Step 5 Loosen the two captive screws identified in View A of Figure 8-1.

Step 6 Press the ejector release buttons on the top and bottom ends of the module (see View B of Figure 8-1) to push out the ejector levers and to disconnect the module.

Step 7 Simultaneously rotate the two ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the midplane connector (see View C of Figure 8-1.

Step 8 With a hand on each ejector, pull the module part way out of its slot in the chassis.

Step 9 Grasp the front edge of the module with your left hand and place your right hand under the lower side of the module to support its weight. Pull the module out of its slot.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the electronic circuitry and prevent anything else from coming in contact with the circuitry.

Step 10 If you are removing a module from a Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis, rotate the module 90 degrees counterclockwise so that it is horizontal and you can see its circuitry from above.

Step 11 Place the removed module on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are pivotal in the landscape of networking, providing high-performance, reliable solutions for enterprise environments and service providers. These routers were designed to support the growing demands of digital communication, offering robust features that enhance connectivity and streamline network operations.

One of the primary characteristics of the Cisco 7000 series is its modular architecture. This allows for the integration of various interface modules and processing units, enabling organizations to customize their routers according to specific networking needs. The modularity supports scalability, as businesses can upgrade or replace components as their requirements evolve without having to replace the entire system.

The Cisco 7000 series incorporates advanced routing protocols, ensuring efficient data packet management and traffic flow. It supports multiple protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of network environments. This flexibility is essential in modern networks, where diverse communication protocols are in use.

Load balancing capabilities are another significant feature of the Cisco 7000 series. This functionality allows for the optimal distribution of network traffic across multiple paths, enhancing performance and redundancy. By ensuring that no single route is overwhelmed, organizations can maintain uptime and improve overall user experience.

Security is a top priority for many businesses, and the Cisco 7000 series addresses this need with built-in security features. It supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and access control lists (ACL) to provide secure remote access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This capability is vital in today’s threat landscape, where data breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

The series also boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing and cloud computing. Coupled with Quality of Service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7000 ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, thereby enhancing overall network performance.

In terms of manageability, the Cisco 7000 routers come equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools. Network administrators can easily track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtimes and maintaining business continuity.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are a sophisticated solution for organizations seeking to optimize their networking infrastructure. With modularity, robust routing protocols, load balancing, security features, high performance, and comprehensive manageability, the Cisco 7000 series stands out as a reliable foundation for successful network operations in an increasingly connected world.
