Identifying Port Adapter Slot and PA-E3 Interface Port Numbers

The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket

(>). At the console terminal, use the following procedure to enter the privileged level:

Step 1 At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a privileged-level password as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Enter the password (the password is case-sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

Step 3 When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):

Router#

Proceed to the following section to configure the new interfaces.

Identifying Port Adapter Slot and PA-E3 Interface Port Numbers

This section describes how to identify port adapter slot and PA-E3 interface port numbers for Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco uBR7200 series routers, and the VIP2.

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the port location on the back of the router or by using software commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

The PA-E3 can be installed in the following slots on the hardware platforms described in this document:

•VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and slot 1

•Catalyst RSM/VIP2—Port adapter slot 0 and slot 1

•Cisco 7100 series routers—Port adapter slot 3 in a Cisco 7120 series router and port adapter slot 4 in a Cisco 7140 series router

•Cisco 7200 series routers—Port adapter slot 1 and slot 2 in a Cisco 7202; port adapter slot 1 through slot 4 in a Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR; port adapter slot 1 through slot 6 in a Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR

•Cisco uBR7200 series—Port adapter slot 1 and slot 2 in a Cisco uBR7246 and port adapter slot 1 in a Cisco uBR7223

Port adapters have a handle attached, but this handle is occasionally not shown in this document to allow a full view of detail on the port adapter’s faceplate.

Cisco 7200 Series and Cisco uBR7200 Series Ports

Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on a Cisco 7200 series router (see Figure 8-1) or a Cisco uBR7200 series router (see Figure 8-2). This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slot number/interface port number, as follows:

•The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the PA-E3 is installed.

•The second number identifies the interface port on each PA-E3; the interface port is always numbered as interface 0 for the one-port PA-E3 and 0 or 1 for the two-port PA-2E3.
