1.For the Cisco 7206VXR router shelves in the Cisco AS5800, the interface specified in the above example would include a shelf number. For example, the command show interface 5/3/0 specifies the OC-3 interface of the PA-POS-1OC3 in port adapter slot 3 of router shelf 5.

Step 5 Re-enable interfaces by doing the following:

a.Repeat Step 3 to re-enable an interface. Substitute the no shutdown command for the shutdown command.

b.Repeat Step 4 to write the new configuration to memory. Use the copy running-configstartup-configcommand.

c.Repeat to verify that the interfaces are in the correct state. Use the show interfaces command followed by the interface type and interface address of the interface.

Performing a Basic Configuration

Following are instructions for performing a basic configuration, which include enabling an interface (with the no shutdown command) and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration commands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface.

For complete descriptions of configuration commands and the configuration options available for the interfaces of your port adapter, refer to the appropriate software documentation.

In the following procedure, press the Return you can exit the privileged level and return to

key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time, the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable

PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been at the forefront of networking technology, providing solutions that empower organizations to enhance their connectivity and communication capabilities. Among its impressive lineup, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules stand out as significant components designed to optimize performance in service provider and enterprise environments.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises. Through increased scalability, improved bandwidth management, and enhanced security, these modules allow organizations to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of data communications effectively. With Cisco at the helm, businesses can trust in a networking solution that not only meets current demands but is also primed for future growth.
