Note The PA-POS-1OC3 is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter. Traffic from multiple PA-POS-1OC3 network interfaces could theoretically exceed the bandwidth of the CxBus or CyBus. This would cause packets to be dropped.

Cisco 7200 VXR Routers

Cisco 7200 VXR routers have certain data-carrying capacity (or bandwidth) restrictions that affect the number of high-bandwidth, medium-bandwidth, and low-bandwidth port adapters you can install. Refer to the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines for more information on port adapter installation restrictions.

The PA-POS-1OC3 is supported on Cisco 7200 VXR routers with network processing services engine NSE-1, and network processing engines NPE-400 and forward.

For all systems in which you install the PA-POS-1OC3, use the show version command to display the current configuration of the router or switch, including the system software version that is currently loaded and running. Use the show diag slot command to view specific information about the hardware installed in your system.
