Maintenance Procedures

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:

Router# ping 10.1.1.60 <Return>

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.

For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP6-80-related interfaces, and which commands support VIP6-80 functionality, refer to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page 2.

Single Line Card Reload

Single Line Card Reload (SLCR) is a feature that speeds recovery of a failed router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. SLCR isolates the fault to a single Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80) or legacy interface processor card (lps), and accelerates recovery time by reloading only the faulty VIP or lps. Physical lines and routing protocols on the other line cards of the network backplane remain active. The system continues forwarding packets with minimal interruptions.

SLCR is disabled by default and needs to be manually configured. For more information on how to configure SLCR, refer to the Cisco 7500 Single Line Card Reload feature module at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s13/slcr

Upgrading VIP6-80 Memory

This section provides the guidelines and procedures for upgrading CPU memory (also called program memory) and packet memory on your VIP6-80.

To upgrade CPU memory on your VIP6-80, you must replace the SDRAM DIMM located in socket U1. To upgrade packet memory on your VIP6-80, you must replace the SDRAM DIMM located in socket U5. (See Figure 1.) The default memory configurations for the VIP6-80 are 64 MB of CPU memory and 64 MB of packet memory.

Note To upgrade CPU memory to 256 MB, use any allowable combination of CPU memory and packet memory. You do not need to have equal amounts of CPU memory and packet memory installed.
