Configuring the HSSI Interfaces
PA-2H Dual-Port HSSI Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

Whether the new interfaces will use bridging
For a summary of the configuration options available, refer to the appropriate configuration
publications listed in the “If You Need More Information” section on pagevii.
The configure command requires privileged-levelaccess to the EXEC command interpreter, which
usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level
access.
Identifying Chassis Slot, Port Adapter Slot, and HSSI Interface Port Numbers
The following sections describes how to identify the chassis slot, port adapter slot, and HSSI port
numbers for the Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, the VIP2, and the
Catalyst RSM/VIP2.

Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco uBR7200 Series Ports

Ina Cisco 7200 series (see Figure 7-2) or Cisco uBR7200 series router (see Figure 7-3) physical port
addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. This address is
composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slotnumber/interface port number, as
follows:
The first number identifies the port adapter slot in which the HSSI port adapter is installed.
The second number identifies the interface ports on the HSSI port adapter; these are always
numbered as interface 0 and 1 for PA-2H.
Note For the Cisco 7206 and Cisco7206VXR router shelves, physical port addresses are
composedof a three-part number in the format shelf number/port adapter slot number/interface port
number, where the shelf number is a number assigned to the Cisco 7206 or Cisco 7206VXR router
shelfduring the initial configuration of the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server.A Cisco AS5800
Universal Access Server can consist of several shelves; therefore, each shelf is assigned a shelf
number.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or
removed from the slot. However,when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the port adapter
slot number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.
For the Cisco 7206 (including a Cisco7206 and Cisco 7206VXR as router shelves in a
Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server), the port adapter slot numbers start with 1 and continue
through 6. Forthe Cisco uBR7200 series routers, the port adapter slots are numbered 1 and 2 for the
Cisco uBR7246 and slot1 for the Cisco uBR7223 (slot 0 is always reserved for the Fast Ethernet
port on the I/O controller—if present). The individual interface port numbers are always0. For
example, the HSSI port on an HSSI port adapter in port adapter slot 2 would have the address 2/0.
If the HSSI port adapter was in port adapter slot 1, this same interface port would be 1/0.
Note Forthe Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR router shelves, the HSSI port adapter in port adapter
slot 2 would have the addressx/2/0, where x is the number assigned to the router shelf during the
initial configuration of the Cisco AS5800 Universal Access Server.
