Configuring PA-12E/2FE Port Adapter

The PA-12E/2FE Ethernet switch port adapter provides Cisco 7200 series routers with up to twelve 10-Mbps and two 10/100-Mbps switched Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) interfaces for an aggregate bandwidth of 435 Mbps, full-duplex. The PA-12E/2FE port adapter supports the Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, and IEEE 802.3u specifications for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over UTP cables.

The PA-12E/2FE port adapter offloads Layer 2 switching from the host CPU by using store-and-forward or cut-through switching technology between interfaces within the same virtual LAN (VLAN) on the PA-12E/2FE port adapter. The PA-12E/2FE port adapter supports up to four VLANs (bridge groups).

Note The PA-12E/2FE port adapter is a dual-width port adapter, which means it occupies two horizontally aligned port adapter slots when installed in a Cisco 7200 series router. (Single-width port adapters occupy individual port adapter slots in a Cisco 7200 series router.)

All interfaces on the PA-12E/2FE port adapter support autosensing and autonegotiation of the proper transmission mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) with an attached device. The first two PA-12E/2FE interfaces (port 0 and port 1) also support autosensing and autonegotiation of the proper connection speed (10-Mbps or 100-Mbps) with an attached device. If an attached device does not support autosensing and autonegotiation of the proper transmission mode, the PA-12E/2FE interfaces attached to the device automatically enter half-duplex mode. Use the show system:running-configcommand to determine if a PA-12E/2FE interface is autosensing and autonegotiating the proper transmission mode with an attached device. Use the full-duplexand the half-duplexcommands to change the transmission mode of a PA-12E/2FE interface. After changing the transmission mode, use the show interfaces command to verify the interface’s transmission mode.
