Caution The VIP2 requires that the host Cisco 7000 series router have the RSP7000 and RSP7000CI installed. The VIP2 does not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the host Cisco series router.

The PA-E3 is considered a high-bandwidthport adapter; therefore at a minimum, Cisco recommends that the PA-E3 be installed on the VIP2-15 or Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 motherboard (with 1 MB of SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM). Installation of the PA-E3 on the VIP2-10 (with 512 KB of SRAM and 8 MB of DRAM) is not recommended.
