Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco 7609 Internet Router

Attaching the Interface Cables

Connecting the Supervisor Engine Uplink Ports

This section describes how to connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports.

Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.

Note In a redundant configuration with two supervisor engines, the uplink ports on the redundant (standby) supervisor engine are active and can be used for normal traffic, like any other ports in the chassis.

To connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports, perform these steps:

Step 1 Remove the plugs from the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) optical bores; store them for future use.

Step 2 Remove the plugs from the SC-type connector on the fiber-optic cable. Insert the connector into the GBIC. (See Figure 3-8.)
