Cisco Systems PA-4T manual For a VIP2, use the following commands

Replacing PA-4T+ Port Adapter Cables

Following is an example of the show controllers cbus command for a VIP2 that shows an interface port (3/1/0) that has an EIA/TIA-232 DTE cable attached:

Router# show controllers cbus 3/1/0

To change the mode of a port online, use software commands to shut down the interface, replace the compact serial cable, restart the interface and, if necessary, reconfigure the port for the new interface. At system startup or restart, the system polls the interfaces and determines the electrical interface type of each port (according to the type of compact serial cable attached). However, the system does not necessarily repoll an interface when you change the adapter cable online. To ensure that the system recognizes the new interface type, shut down and reenable the interface after changing the cable.

If you are replacing a cable with a cable that has the same mode, these steps are not necessary (simply replace the cable without interrupting operation).

Step 1 Enter configuration mode and at the privileged level of the EXEC (also called enable mode), specify the port address, shut down the interface, and write the configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). (See the “Using the EXEC Command Interpreter” section on page 8-1 for an explanation of the privileged level of the EXEC.) Add additional configuration commands, as needed, before you exit from configuration mode (before you press Ctrl-Zor enter end).

For a Cisco 7200 series, Cisco uBR7200 series, or Cisco 7100 series router, use the following commands:

Router> enable

Password:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# interface serial 1/0

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Ctrl-Z

Router#

For a VIP2, use the following commands:

Router> enable

Password:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)# interface serial 3/1/0

Router(config-if)# shutdown

Ctrl-Z

Router#

Step 2 Locate and remove the adapter cable to be replaced.

Step 3 Connect the new cable between the PA-4T+ and the network connection. Tighten the thumbscrews at both ends of the cable to secure it in the ports.

Step 4 Enter configuration mode again, bring the port back up, and save the running configuration to NVRAM.
