Cisco 7120 series routers have one power supply with one A C-input pow er receptacle; Cisco 7140 series
routers have two power supplies with two AC-input power receptacles for power load-sharing and
redundancy. A modular power cable connects each AC-inpu t power supply to the site AC power source.
The router’s main power switch is located next to the AC-input power receptacles.
Cisco 7140 series routers will operate with power connected to either of the two power supplies. The
second AC-input power supply simply enables power load-sharing and redundancy. There is no primary
or secondary power supply for Cisco 7140 series routers.
We recommend powering the router from a 15A receptacle at the power source.
On the side of each chassis are two chassis ground re ceptacles that provide a chassis ground connection
for a two-hole grounding lug. On the back of the chassis, there is a receptacle for electrostatic discharge
(ESD) equipment. (See Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4.)
Four internal fans draw cooling air into the chassis (back to front) and across internal components to
maintain an acceptable operating temperature. There are four environmental sensors for monitoring the
cooling air as it leaves the chassis. For more information on environmental monitoring, see the
“Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions” section on page 1-39.

Chapter 1 Overview
CautionTo ensure the proper flow of cooling air acro ss the internal components, make sure a blank port adapter
Cisco 7120 Series Overview
is installed in an unoccupied port adapter slot. The product number for a blank port adapter is
MAS-7100-PABLANK=.
The modular port adapter slides into the chassis slot and connects directly to the router; there are no
internal cables to connect.
The port adapter, service module, fixed WAN interfaces, and fixed LAN interfaces connect to two
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) buses on the router’s backplane that provide a path to packet
I/O memory and the system processor. For more information, see the “Peripheral Component
Interconnect Buses” section on page 1-33.
Cisco 7100 series VPN routers can be installe d on a tabl etop or in an equipment rack. Rubber feet for
tabletop installation are included in the accessory kit that shipped with you r router. A rack-mount and
cable-management kit is also standard equipment when Cisco 7100 series VPN routers are shipped from
the factory. The kit provides the hardware needed to mount the router in a standard 19- or 23-inch,
four-post or telco-type equipment rack. The kit also provides the hardware necessary to manage the
interface cables attached to the router. The product number for the rack-mount kit is ACS-7100-RMK=.
Instructions for setting the router on a tabletop, installing the router in an equipment rack, and attaching
the cable-management bracket are the same for all Cisco 7100 series VPN models and are explained in
Chapter 3, “Installing a Cisco 7100 VPN Series Router.”

Integrated Service Module (ISM)/Integrated Service Adapter (ISA)
The ISM/ISA is a Layer 3 encryption module that supports IP Security Protocol (IPSec) encryption of
IP datagrams. In addition to enabling the secure use of public switched netw orks and the Internet through
encryption, the ISM/ISA supports all encryption features supported by the Cisco IOS software. The
hardware-based services provided by the ISM/ISA impro ve the ov erall performance of Cisco 7100 series
routers by off-loading data encryption processing from the main system processor.
For more information on ISM or ISA features and for installation and configuration information, refer
to the Integrated Service Adapter and Integrated Service Module Installation and Configuration online.

VPN Acceleration Module (VAM)
The VPN Acceleration Module (VAM) is a single-width acceleration module. The VAM supports
LAN/WAN media and full Layer 3 routing services. VAMs provide hardware-assisted tunneling and
encryption services for virtual private network (VPN) remote access, site-to-site intranet and extranet
applications, including security, quality of service (QoS), firewall and intrusion detection, and
service-level v alidation and management. The VAM off-loads IPSec processing from the main processor
to permit resources on the processor engines for other tasks. The VAM provides hardware-accelerated
support for multiple encryption functions.
The VAM is available as a service adapter (SA-VAM), and as a service module (SM-VAM).

Chassis Slot and Logical Interface Numbering
In Cisco 7100 series VPN routers, the slot number is the loca tion in the chassis where the interface
resides and the port number is the physical port associated with that slot. Cisco 7100 series router slots
are numbered 0 through 5. Interfaces in the Cisco IOS software are identif ied by a type, slot number, and
port number. The number of physical ports depends on the type of modular port adapter or fixed
interface. For example, in a Cisco 7120-4T1, serial 1/0 indicates port 0 on the fixed serial interface in
slot 1. (See Figure 1-5.)
Slots in the Cisco 7120 series are numbered as follows and are shown in Figure 1-31:
• Slot 0—Fixed LAN (Ethernet) interface

Interface Information in the Software
You can identify interfaces by using software commands. To display information about all interfaces,
use the show interfaces command. To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type, slot number, and por t number in the format show interf aces type slot/port.
The following example shows how the show interfaces command, used without arguments, displays
status information (including the slot and port number) for each interface in a Cisco 7100 series VPN
router. In the following example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted:

MAC Addresses
For information on the other commands used to co nfigure the router , refer to t he Cisco IOS configuration
guides and command references, which are available on the Documentation CD-ROM or in print.
The Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address is a standardized data-link layer address that is
required for certain network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the
network; they are specific and unique to each port. The router uses a specific method to assign and
control the MAC addresses of its port adapters.
All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC addresses. Typically, the MAC address of an interface
is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the interface circuitry; however, the online
insertion and removal (OIR) feature requires a di fferent method. (For a description of OIR, see “Online
Insertion and Removal” section on page 1-33.)
The OIR feature allows you to remove a port adapter and replace it with another identically configured
one. If the new port adapter matches the port adapter you removed, the system immediately brings i t on
line. To allow OIR, an address allocator with unique MAC addresses is stored in an EEPROM on the
router. Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router regardless of whether a port
adapter resides in that slot. The MAC addresses are assigned to slot 3 in Cisco 7120 series routers and
slot 4 in Cisco 7140 series routers. This address scheme allows you to remove a port adapter and insert
the port adapter into other routers without causing the MAC addresses to move around the network or
be assigned to multiple devices.
Cisco 7100 Series VPN Router Installation and Configuration Guide
1-32
78-6341-03
Page 33
Chapter 1 Overview
If the MAC addresses were stored on each port adapter , OIR would no t function because you could ne ver
replace one port adapter with an identical one; the MAC addresses would always be dif ferent. Also, each
time a port adapter was replaced, other devices on the netw ork would ha ve to update their data str uctures
with the new address and, if they did not do so quickly enough, could cause the same MAC address to
appear in more than one device at the same time.
NoteStoring the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means the addresses stay with the
memory device on which they are stored.
Online Insertion and Removal
The modular port adapter installed in Cisco 7100 series VPN routers supports OIR. This functi on allows
you to install and replace a port adapter while the router is operating; you do not need to notify the
software or shut down the system power. This provides a method that is seamless to end users on the
network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific
procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter in a Cisco 7100 series VPN router, see the
configuration note that ships with each port adapter.
Functional Overview
Each port adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. Each connector has a set of tiered
pins in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter.
The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port
adapter is being removed or inserted into the rou ter. From these signals, the system determines whether
to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface. For example, when you insert a port
adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter first, and the shortest pins mak e contact last.
The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter in a Cisco 7100 series VPN router, the port adapter pins send
signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration ch anges.
2. Initializes all newly inserted port adapters, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the
administratively shutdown state.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when
they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as
if they were present (b ut not conf igured ) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted in to
a slot, its ports are configured and brought on line up to the port count of the original port adapter.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Buses
All interfaces connect to two Peripheral Compon ent I nte rconnect (PCI) b u ses on the router that pro vide
a path to packet I/O memory and the network processor. Interfaces in slots 1, 3, and 5 use PCI bus 0 and
interfaces in slots 0, 2, and 4 use PCI bus 1. For port adapters that are installed in the modular port
adapter slots (slot 3 or slot 4), use the guidelines described in Appendix A, “Modular Port Adapter
Configuration Guidelines,” to ensure sufficient bandwidth.
The maximum recommended bandwidth points on each PCI bus is 600 point s. F or best performance we
recommend that you avoid using port adapters that exceed the total available bandwidth for your router.

Network Processor Card
The network processor card resides inside the chassis and is shown in Figure 1 -33. The ne twork
processor card provides the following features:
• Senses OIR of the port adapters
• Bridges the PCI buses from the interfaces to packet memory
• Arbitrates traffic across the PCI buses
• Generates the clock signals for the interfaces on each PCI bus
The network processor card also performs the following system management functions:
• Sending and receiving routing protocol updates
• Managing tables, caches, and buffers
• Monitoring interface and environmental status
• Providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management and the console or Telnet
interface
• Accounting and switching of data traffic
• Booting and reloading images
• Managing port adapters (recognition and initialization during OIR)

The network processor card consists of the following components:
• Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) microprocessor
• T wo system controllers—Provide processor access to two separate banks of SDRAM and that permit
devices on both PCI buses to access either SDRAM bank. This means that devices on different PCI
buses can access different SDRAM banks simultaneously.
• Upgradable memory modules—SDRAM system memory is up to 256 MB. (SDRAM packet
memory is fixed at 64 MB.) SDRAM memory stores packets received or sent from network
interfaces, routing tables, and network accountin g applications. There are two independ ent SDRAM
memory arrays that allow concurrent access by interfaces and the processor.
NoteThe network processor card contains two SDRAM slots for user-configurable system and packet
memory, DIMM 1 and DIMM 2. The amount of memory installed in slot DIMM 1 must be greater than
or equal to the amount of memory installed in slot DIMM 2, and slot DIMM 2 can be zero.
Slot DIMM 0 is used exclusively for packet memory and is fixed at 64 MB in the factory.
• Cache memory
–
Cisco 7120 series routers have two levels of cache: a primary cache that is internal to the
microprocessor and a secondary, 2-MB (fixed) external cache that provides additional
high-speed storage for data and instructions.

• Four environmental sensors—Monitor the cooling air as it leaves the chassis.
• Boot ROM—Stores sufficient code for booting the Cisco IOS software.
• Flash memory single in-line memory module (SIMM)—Stores the boot image used to boot the
router.
• NVRAM—Stores the system configuration and environmental monitoring logs (the NVRAM uses
lithium batteries to maintain its contents when disconnected from power).
• Console port—Provides access for a local terminal and is equipped with an RJ-45 receptacle.
• Auxiliary port—Provides access for a modem for remote access and is equipped with an RJ-45

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions are controlled by the network processor and allow
you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions that might
disrupt operation.
The environmental monitoring functions constantly monitor the internal chassis air temperature and
power supply voltages and currents. The power supply monitors its own voltage and temperature and
shuts itself down if it detects a critical condition within the power supply. The reporting functions
periodically log the values of measured parameters so that you can retrieve them for analysis later, and
the reporting functions display warnings on the console if any of the monitored parameters exceed
defined thresholds.
The front and back of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent
overheating inside the chassis; we recommend at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance. Temperature
sensors in the router monitor the internal air temperature and send warning messages when the internal
air temperature exceeds the specified threshold.
Functional Overview
Environmental Monitoring
The environmental monitoring functions use four sensors to monitor the temperature of the cooling air
as it moves through the chassis.
If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the router displays warning messages on the console
terminal. The system stores the present parameter measuremen ts for both temperature and po wer v oltage
in NVRAM so you can retri eve them later.
In addition, the power supply monitors the internal power supply temperature and voltages. A power
supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If the internal power supply
temperature or voltage reaches a critical le ve l, the power supply shuts down wi thout any int eraction with
the system processor.
The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the
system:
• Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.
• Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but
operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.
• Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to
operate; however, immediate operator action is required.

Table 1-17 Typical Processor-Monitored Temperature Thresholds
Cisco 7100 series VPN routers display warning messages on the console if chassis interface-monitored
parameters exceed a desired threshold. You can also retrieve and display environmental status reports
with the show environment, showenvironment all, show environment last, and show environment table commands. Parameters are measured and reporting functions are updated e very 60 seconds. A brief
description of each of these commands follows.
CautionTo prevent overheating the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Overtemperature
conditions can occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate
clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior
unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of other device.

When the system power is on, all four fans should be operational. The system continues to operate if a
fan fails; however, if the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the router displays warning
messages on the console terminal. (See the “Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem” section on
page 5-6.)
