Cisco 7200 Series and the 5EFL Port Adapter

To determine which type of port adapter is installed in your Cisco 7206, use the show diag slot command. Specific port adapter information is displayed, as shown in the following example of a 5EFL port adapter in chassis slot 2:

Slot 2:
Ethernet port adapter, 5 ports
Port adapter is analyzed
Port adapter insertion time 2d09h ago
Hardware revision	1.5	Board	revision	A0
Serial number	4294967295	Part number		73-1556-04
Test history	0x0	RMA number		00-00-00
EEPROM format version 1
EEPROM contents (hex):
0x20:01 03 01 05 FF FF FF FF 49 06 14			04 00 00	00 00
0x30:50 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF			FF FF FF	FF FF

Note Port adapters used with the 7200 VXR routers require the correct base hardware revision in order to function. The following error message will occur on bootup if the incorrect hardware revision is used:

>PA-3-REVNOTSUPPORTED:PA in slot 1 (Ethernet) requires base h/w revision of (1.5) for this chassis

Use the sh diag command to display the hardware revision.

For complete Cisco 7206 command descriptions and examples, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

Using the ping Command

The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages

[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:

Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return> Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
