Customer Order Number:

Cisco Systems, Inc.

Documentation Part Number:

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.”

Versatile Interface Processor Functions

The following sections describe the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) and discuss VIP-speciﬁc

features and functions, such as installing and removing the VIP, installing and removing port

adapters, using and conﬁguring common VIP interface functions.

What is the VIP?The VIP is a new interface processor for use with the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series

routers, and it installs in the interface processor slots in your Cisco 7000 series or 7500 series router.

The VIP uses a single motherboard with up to two port adapters. The VIP port adapters provide the

individual LAN, WAN, or LAN/WAN interface ports. The VIP can be removed from a chassis while

power is on and the system is operating.

Caution The VIP supports online insertion and removal (OIR), which allows you to remove and

replaceaVIPwithoutﬁrstshuttingdown the system. Online insertion and removal maximizes router

availability by letting you add or remove VIPs during system operation; however, the system may

indicate a hardware failure if you fail to follow proper procedures. To help avoid problems with the

installation, review the functional description in the section “Online Insertion and Removal—An

Overview” on page 13, and follow the VIP installation steps carefully.

4VIP-4R/4T Installation and Conﬁguration

Versatile Interface Processor Functions

Note The VIP port adapters themselves do not support OIR, nor are they FRUs.

The VIP uses a Reduced Instructions Set Computing (RISC), Mips 4600 processor for high

performance, and has an internal operating frequency of 100 megahertz (MHz) and a 50-MHz

system bus interface. The VIP has 8 megabytes (MB) of dynamic random access memory (DRAM)

as the default DRAM configuration.

Figure 1 shows a VIP-4R/4T. The VIP ﬁrmware (microcode), which contains card-speciﬁc software

instructions, resides in a Flash memory device in socket location U17. Single in-line memory

modules contain the DRAM. For connector pinouts, refer to the section “4R Port Adapter

Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” on page 34, or to the section “4T Port Adapter Receptacles,

Cables, and Pinouts” on page 51. You can install VIPs in any available interface processor slots.

Figure 1 VIP with One 4R and One 4T Port Adapter (Horizontal Orientation Shown)

Note In the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 chassis, the VIP is installed vertically. In the

Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis, the VIP is installed horizontally. Port adapters have a handle

attached, but this handle is not shown to allow a full view of detail on each port adapter’s faceplate.

Versatile Interface Processor Functions

VIP Software Prerequisites

The VIP 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 latest Cisco IOS release is available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from

ftp/[email protected]. Detailed information about the latest Cisco IOS release can be

found in the ASCII ﬁle vip1-readme, which is also available via FTP from ftp.cisco.com in the

directory /ftp/beta111_dir. This ASCII ﬁle includes information and instructions on how to get

the current Cisco IOS software images and VIP microcode. To access information located in Cisco

Information Online (CIO), refer to the section “Cisco Information Online” at the end of this

publication.

VIP Hardware Prerequisites

The VIP operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series, and

operates with the optional RSP7000 and RSP7000CI RSP-based processor modules in the Cisco

7000 series routers: Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010. The VIP will also operate with the Route Processor

(RP) and Switch Processor (SP) in the Cisco 7000 series routers. The VIP operates with all

RSP-based processor modules currently shipping in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series

routers: Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513.

What is the Cisco 7000 Family?

For the Cisco 7000 family of routers, which includes the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series

routers, network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the VIP, which provide

a direct connection between external networks and the high-speed CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series

and the high-speed CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series.

In all systems, the remaining slots support any combination of network interface types: Ethernet

attachment unit interface (AUI), Ethernet 10BASE-T, Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX, Asynchronous

Transfer Mode (ATM), Token Ring, multichannel applications, Fiber Distributed Data Interface

(FDDI), channel attachment, serial, or High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), and all VIP–based

interfaces.

VIP Port Adapter Hardware Conﬁguration Overview

The port adapters attach to the VIP motherboard. (See Figure 7.) Each port adapter contains the

physical connections for the VIP interface types to connect to your network.

Figure 7 VIP with One 4R and One 4T Port Adapter (Product Number VIP-4R/4T[=])

Following are the VIP port adapters by interface type:

•Ethernet 10BASE-T—4E

•Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX—FE-TX

•Synchronous serial—4T

•Token Ring—4R

Following are the supported electrical interfaces:

•4E port adapter—10BASE-T Ethernet, using RJ-45

•FE-TX port adapter—IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX, using Media Independent

Interface (MII) or RJ-45

•4T port adapter—synchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232, EIA-TIA-449, EIA-530, V.35, and X.21;

determined by the cable), using DB-60, 60-pin mini-D-sub connectors

•4R port adapter—IEEE 802.5 Token Ring, using DB-9, 9-pin D-sub connectors

Note The VIP-4R/4T is a ﬁxed conﬁguration. The entire VIP-4R/4T assembly is a FRU. Port
