VIP-4R/4T Installation and Configuration

Product Number VIP-4R/4T(=)

This configuration note is a standalone publication that provides instructions for installing, configuring, and maintaining the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) in your Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers.

The VIP operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series, and requires that the host Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series router is running Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.1(1) or later, or a Cisco-approved beta version of Cisco IOS Release 11.1.

Note The entire VIP card, with port adapters installed, is a field-replaceable unit (FRU). Individual port adapters are not available as spare parts.

Included are steps for VIP hardware installation and basic VIP configuration steps and examples for configuring the individual interfaces on a new VIP. Also included are maintenance procedures for upgrading user-configurable VIP components.

This publication has two main sections:

•Versatile Interface Processor Functions, page 3—this section discusses general VIP features, maintenance considerations, and overall functions

•VIP Port Adapter Functions, page 29—this section contains subsections that discuss each port adapter and its specific features, configuration and connection requirements, and functions

You need only refer to the information that is specific to your VIP port adapter configuration or that applies to specific VIP functionality. A table of contents is included on page 2 so you can more easily find what you need.

Note For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP-related interfaces, and which support VIP functionality, refer to the section “If You Need More Configuration Information.”
