Installation Prerequisites

Software and Hardware Prerequisites

The FEIP with 100BASE-TX port adapters operates with the CxBus and CyBus and requires that the host Cisco 7000 series router is running Cisco IOS Release 10.3(5), or later, and the host Cisco 7500 series routers are running Cisco IOS Release 10.3(6) or later.

The FEIP with 100BASE-FX port adapters operates with the CxBus and CyBus and requires that the host Cisco 7000 family router is running Cisco IOS Release 10.3(13), or later,Release 11.0(10), or later, or Release 11.1(5), or later.

Note The latest FEIP microcode images are available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

from /ftp/feip-fx at ftp.cisco.com. Detailed information about the latest FEIP microcode images can be found in the ASCII ﬁle feip.readme.txt, which is also available via FTP from

ftp.cisco.com in the directory /ftp/feip-fx/. This ASCII ﬁle includes information and

instructions on how to get the current FEIP microcode image. To access Cisco IOS images, refer to the section “Cisco.com” on page 41 at the end of this publication.

Caution If you use the FEIP with a single port adapter, you must have the port adapter in slot 0 for the FEIP

to function properly. A single port adapter in slot 1 will not be recognized by the system.

Note Each FE interface on an FEIP can be conﬁgured at 100 Mbps, half duplex or full duplex, for

a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.

Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP,we recommend that you do not operate both FE interfaces on

an FEIP in full-duplex mode.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 3

Page 4

Installation Prerequisites

Each FEIP is a ﬁxed conﬁguration; therefore, individualport adapters are not availableas spare parts and are not ﬁeld-replaceable or removable.Theentire FEIP assembly is treated as a ﬁeld-replaceable unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with another. Do not attempt to simultaneously operate 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.

List of Parts and Tools

You need the following tools and parts to install or upgrade an FEIP. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

• CX-FEIP-1TX(=), CX-FEIP-2TX(=), CX-FEIP-1FX(=), or CX-FEIP-2FX(=), and at least one

available interface processor slot in your Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router (For speciﬁc compatibility requirements, refer to the section “Software and Hardware Prerequisites” on page 3.)

• Cables appropriate for the interfaces on your FEIP; Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5

UTP RJ-45 cables, MII cables, or SC-type cables; these cables are available commercially. (For speciﬁc cable requirements, refer to the section “FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” on page 17.)

Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII

transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE

802.3u speciﬁcation; otherwise, interface problems might result. Conﬁrm that this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver's vendor or in the transceiver's documentation. If a selection for “Isolation Mode” is available, we recommend you use this setting (if no mention is made of “PHY addressing”).

Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII

receptacles on a single FEIP interface. Each interface (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one interface.

• Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch, ﬂat-blade screwdriver

• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all

upgrade kits, FRUs, and spares

Safety Guidelines

Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency

power-off switch for the room in which you are working.

• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis

• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

4 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Page 5

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.

• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist ﬂoors, ungrounded power

extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is speciﬁcally designed for wet

locations.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures.

Safety Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unﬁnished chassis surface.

• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.

• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to

release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or

connectors.

• Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding

container; otherwise, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects

components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should

be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Guidelines for Interface Processor Installation and Removal

This section describes mechanical functions of system components, emphasizes the importance of following correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures, and is for background only; speciﬁc procedures follow in the section “FEIP Installation” on page 21.

You can remove and replace interface processors while the system is operating; you do not need to notify the software or reset the system power. This functionality enables you to add, remove, or replace interface processors with the system online, which provides a method that is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.

After an interface processor is reinstalled, the system brings on line only interfaces that match the current conﬁguration and were previously conﬁgured as up; all others require that you conﬁgure them with the conﬁgure command.

Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or

insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the system completes its veriﬁcation can cause the system to interpret hardware failures.

Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers have ejector levers located on the ends of the interface processor slots. (See Figure 1a.) The function of the ejector levers is to align and seat the interface processor connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which connector pins make contact with the backplane.

Follow the FEIP installation and removal instructions carefully, and review the following examples of incorrect insertion practices and their results:

• Using the handle to force the interface processor all the way into the slot can pop the ejector

levers out of their springs. If you then try to use the ejector levers to seat the interface processor, the ﬁrst layer of pins (which are already mated to the card or interface processor) can disconnect and then remate with the backplane, which the system interprets as a board failure.

• Using the handle to force or slam the interface processor all the way into the slot can damage the

pins on the board connectors if they are not aligned properly with the backplane.

• When using the handle (rather than the ejector levers) to seat the interface processor in the

backplane, you might need to pull the interface processor back out and push it in again to align it properly.Even if the backplane pins are not damaged, the pins mating with and disconnecting from the card or interface processor might cause the system to interpret a board failure. Using the ejector levers ensures that the board connector mates with the backplane in one continuous movement.

• Using the handle to insert or remove an interface processor, or failing to push the ejector levers

fully against the interface processor, can leave some (not all) of the connector pins mated to the card or interface processor, a state which hangs the system. Using the ejector levers and making sure that they are pushed fully into position ensures that all three layers of pins are mated with (or free from) the backplane.

Use the ejector levers when removing an interface processor to ensure that the backplane connector pins disconnect from the interface processor in the sequence expected by the system. Any interface processor that is only partially connected to the backplane can hang the bus. Steps for correctly performing OIR are included with the following procedures for installing and removing the FEIP.

Microcode Overview

The FEIP microcode (ﬁrmware) is an image that provides card-speciﬁc software instructions. A programmable read-only memory (PROM) device on the FEIP contains a default microcode boot image that assists the system in ﬁnding and loading the microcode image from the Cisco IOS software bundle or Flash memory. The router supports downloadable microcode, which allows you to upgrade microcode versions by downloading new microcode images, storing them in system Flash memory, and instructing the system to load its image from Flash. You can store multiple images for an interface type and, with a conﬁguration command, instruct the system to load any one ofthem or thedefault microcode image. The microcode boot image in the PROMinitializesthe FEIP and then assists downloading the FEIP microcode image. All interfaces of the same type (FEIP, and so on) load the same microcode image, either from the microcode image bundled with the Cisco IOS software or from an image stored in system Flash. Although multiple microcode versions for a speciﬁc interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash, only one image can load at startup.

The show controllers cbus command displays the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor,and FEIP. The show startup-conﬁg EXEC command showsthe current system instructions for loading microcode at startup.

Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to work together.Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the software bundle. For a complete description of microcode and downloading procedures, refer to the section “Upgrading FEIP Microcode” on page 37.

Fast Ethernet Overview

The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD), local-area networks (LANs) that generally conform to Ethernet speciﬁcations, including Fast Ethernet under IEEE 802.3u.

Note 100BASE-TX is intended for Environment A, and 100BASE-FX is intended for

Environment B.

IEEE 802.3u is well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry sporadic,occasionally heavy trafﬁc at high peak data rates. Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see if it is already in use. If it is, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits; this is half-duplex operation.

A collision occurs when two stations listen for network trafﬁc, hear none, and transmit very close to simultaneously. When this happens, both transmissions are damaged, and the stations must retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff algorithms to determine when they should retransmit. Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u are broadcast networks, which means that all stations see all transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine if it is the intended destination and, if it is, to pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing.

IEEE 802.3u speciﬁes the following different physical layers for 100BASE-T:

• 100BASE-TX—100BASE-T, half and full duplex over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair

(UTP), Electronics Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association [EIA/TIA]-568-compliant cable

• 100BASE-FX—100BASE-T, half and full duplex over optical ﬁber

8 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Page 9

IEEE 802.3u 100BaseT Specifications

• 100BASE-T4—100BASE-T, half and full duplex over Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP or shielded

twisted-pair (STP) cabling with four pairs; also called 4T+ or T2, which is 2-pair UTP over Category 3 cable.

Each physical layer protocol has a name that summarizes its characteristics in the format speed/signaling method/segment length, where speed is the LAN speed in megabits per second (Mbps), signaling method is the signaling method used (either baseband or broadband), and segment length is typically the maximum length between stations in hundreds of meters. Therefore, 100BASE-Tspeciﬁes a 100-Mbps, baseband LAN with maximum network segments of 100 meters (or 400 meters for 100BASE-FX).

IEEE 802.3u 100BaseT Speciﬁcations

This section provides speciﬁcations for IEEE 802.3u 100BaseT. Table 1-1 provides cabling speciﬁcations for 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet transmission over UTP and foil twisted-pair (FTP), and 100BaseFX Fast Ethernet over ﬁber-optic cables. It also summarizes IEEE 802.3u 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX physical characteristics. Also see Figure 2.

MII RJ-45

Each100BASE-TXinterfacehas an RJ-45connector to attach to Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for 100BASE-TX, and an MII connector that permits connection through external transceivers to multimode ﬁber for 100BASE-FX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 UTP or shielded twisted-pair (STP) for 100BASE-T4 physical media. Each 100BASE-TXor 100BASE-FX interface on an FEIP can be conﬁgured at 100 Mbps, half duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.

Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP,we recommend that you do not operate both FE interfaces on

an FEIP in full-duplex mode.

For pinouts, refer to the section “FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” on page 17. The standard dynamic random access memory (DRAM) size for the FEIP is 8 megabytes (MB). You can install FEIPs in any available interface processor slots.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 15

Page 16

What Is the FEIP?

Note Each FEIP is a ﬁxed conﬁguration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as

spare parts and are not ﬁeld-replaceable or removable. The entire FEIP card is treated as a ﬁeld-replaceable unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with another. Do not attempt to install 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.

Caution To prevent system problems, we recommend that you not attempt to remove an FEIP port adapter

and replace it with another,nor attempt to mix 100BASE-TXand 100BASE-FX FE port adapters on the same FEIP.

Note Each of the two 100BASE-FX interfaces on the FEIP-2FX uses the MII connector like the

FEIP-2TX, but the FEIP-2FX has an SC-type ﬁber-optic connector in place of the RJ-45 connector. Either the MII LED or the RJ-45 (or FIBER) LED should be on at any one time; never both.

Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII

receptacles on a single FEIP port adapter.Each port adapter (100BASE-FXor 100BASE-TX) can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one port adapter.

FEIP LEDs

TheFEIP contains theenabled LED anda bank ofthree status LEDsfor each of the two port adapters (located between the two receptacles on each port adapter). After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 9.)

Figure 9 LEDs on an FEIP Port Adapter (Partial Faceplate View)

H2941

The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:

• The FEIP is correctly connected and receiving power

• The FEIP card contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded successfully

• The bus recognizes the FEIP.

If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED does not go on.

16 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Page 17

Following are the three status LEDs and an explanation of what each indicates:

• MII—On when the MII port is selected as the active port by the controller.

• Link—When the RJ-45 or SC port is active, this LED is on when the port adapter is receiving a

carrier signal from the network. When the MII port is active, this LED is an indication of network activity, and it ﬂickers on and off proportionally to this activity.

• RJ45 (or FIBER on FEIP-1FX or FEIP-2FX)—On when the RJ-45 (or FIBER) port is selected

as the active port by the controller.

The two interface receptacles on the FEIP port adapter are a single MII, 40-pin, D-shell type receptacle, and a single RJ-45 receptacle (or SC-type for FEIP-1FX and -2FX optical-ﬁber connections). (See the 1FE-TX port adapter in Figure 10 and the 1FE-FX port adapter in Figure 11.)

You can use either one receptacle or the other; only one receptacle can be used at one time. Each connection supports IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with the 100BASE-X and 100BASE-T standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The MII connection requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially.

FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts

Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII

receptacles on a single port adapter. Each port adapter (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one Fast Ethernet interface.

The ports labeled “Ethernet,” “10BASE-T,” “Token Ring,” “Console,” and “AUX” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.

Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 2, proper common-mode line terminations should be

used for the unused Category 5, UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45, 100BASE-TX port circuitry in the FEIP port adapter.

What Is the FEIP?

Depending on the type of media you use between the MII connection on the port adapter and your switch or hub, the network side of your 100BASE-T transceiver should be appropriately equipped with SC-type or ST-type connectors (for optical ﬁber), BNC connectors, and so forth. Figure 17 shows the pin orientation of the female MII connector on the port adapter.

The MII receptacle uses 2-56 screw-type locks, called jackscrews (shown in Figure 17), to secure the cable or transceiver to the MII port. MII cables and transceivers have knurled thumbscrews (screws you can tighten with your ﬁngers) that you fasten to the jackscrews on the FEIP MII connector. Use the jackscrews to provide strain relief for your MII cable. (The RJ-45 modular plug has strain relief functionality incorporated into the design of its standard plastic connector.) Figure 17 shows the MII connector.

FEIP Installation

The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing an FEIP in the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers. The functionality is the same for each router model; therefore, the term the chassis is used except where speciﬁc model issues arise.

The online insertion and removal function allows you to install and remove an FEIP without ﬁrst shutting down the system; however, you must follow the instructions carefully. Failure to insert the FEIP properly can cause system error messages indicating a board failure. For a complete description of recommended guidelines for interface processor installation and removal, refer to the section “Guidelines for Interface Processor Installation and Removal” on page 6.

Each unused interface processor slot must contain an interface processor ﬁller (which is an interface processor carrier without an interface board) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air ﬂow through the interface processor compartment. If you are installing a new FEIP that is not a replacement, you must ﬁrst remove the interface processor ﬁller from an unused slot; to do so proceed to the next section “Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler.” If you are replacing an FEIP, proceed to the section “Removing an FEIP.”

Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI-preventive seal for the

Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 routers, we recommend that you ﬁrst install interface processors in the interface processor slots closest to the RSP slots, whenever possible, then work out to the interface processor slots furthest from the RSP slots. (See Figure 6, on page 13, for the Cisco 7507; see Figure 7, on page 14, for the Cisco 7513.)

FEIP Installation

Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler

If you plan to replace a currently installed interface processor with an FEIP, attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface; interface processor ﬁllers do not require protection from ESD. Select an interface processor slot for the new FEIP and remove the interface processor or interface processor ﬁller as follows:

Step 1 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws on the interface processor or

interface processor ﬁller. (See Figure 1.)

Step 2 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward to

release the ﬁller from the backplane connector (in the opposite direction from that shown

in Figure 1c).

Step 3 Grasp the handle with one hand and pull the card straight out of the slot, keeping your

other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 18.) Keep the carrier parallel to the

backplane.

Step 4 Store the interface processor or interface processor ﬁller for future use.

To help preventdust and contaminants from entering the chassis, do not leavethe interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the section “Installing an FEIP” on page 23.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 21

Page 22

FEIP Installation

Removing an FEIP

You need not shut down the interface or the system power when removing an FEIP or interface processor.

Note In Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 systems, online insertion and removal of any interface processor

in either CyBus might cause the slaveRSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity error. The master RSP will recover from this event and issue a “cBus Complex Restart” message. Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 systems that are conﬁgured with an RSP4 as the system slave are not affected and will not experience this problem.

If you have a Cisco 7507 or a Cisco 7513 with an RSP2 conﬁgured as the system slave, we strongly recommend that you use the following procedure to remove and replace an interface processor:

Step 1 Remove the slave RSP2. Step 2 Wait 15 seconds. Step 3 Remove and replace the interface processor using the procedures in this publication. Step 4 Wait 15 seconds. Step 5 Reinsert the slave RSP2.

If you are replacing a failed FEIP, remove the existing board ﬁrst, then install the new FEIP in the same slot. If you are replacing a currently installed interface processor with an FEIP, remove the existing board ﬁrst, then install the new FEIP in the same slot.

Figure 18 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.

Page 23

Installing an FEIP

To remove an FEIP or interface processor, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface. Step 2 If you are replacing a failed FEIP,disconnect all cables from the FEIP ports; however, if

you are only moving an FEIP to another slot, this step is not necessary.

Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board.

(See Figure 1.)

Caution Always use the ejector levers to remove or install the FEIP. Failure to do so can cause erroneous

system error messages indicating a board failure.

Step 4 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors

outward (in the opposite direction from that show in Figure 1c) to release the FEIP from

the backplane connector.

Step 5 Use the board’shandle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand

under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 18.) Keep the board parallel to the backplane.

Step 6 Place the removed board on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic

container if you plan to return it to the factory.

Step 7 If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install a ﬁller (MAS7K-BLANK) to

Installing an FEIP

The FEIP slides into the open interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane. The interface processors are keyed to guide pins on the backplane, so the FEIP can be installed only in an interface processor slot.

Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI seal for the Cisco 7507

and Cisco 7513 routers, we recommend that you ﬁrst install interface processors in the interface processor slots closest to the RSP slots, whenever possible, then work out to the interface processor slots furthest from the RSP slots.

Figure 1 shows the functional details of inserting an interface processor and using the ejector levers. Figure 18 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.

Caution Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system

to complete its discovery and initialization before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the system has completed veriﬁcation can cause the system to interpret hardware failures.

keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air ﬂow inside the chassis. Do not

leavethe interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the section “Installing an

FEIP.”

Follow these steps to install an FEIP:

Step 1 Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the console port (on the RP, RSP, or

RSP7000) and that your console is turned ON.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 23

Page 24

FEIP Installation

Step 2 Hold the FEIP handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to

support the FEIP and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 18.) Avoid touching the card or

any connector pins.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only.

Note The processor modules are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 and

vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and the Cisco 7513.

Step 3 Place the back of the FEIP in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove

in the slot. (See Figure 1.)

Step 4 While keeping the FEIP parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the

back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See Figure 1b.)

Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing processor modules. A module that is

partially seated in the backplane might cause the system to hang and subsequently crash, and shoving or slamming the interface processor into the slot can damage the backplane pins and board.

Step 5 Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the FEIP is

pushed entirely into its slot. (See Figure 1c.)

Step 6 Tighten both of the captive installation screws.

Caution To ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation for the chassis, make certain to

tighten the captive installation screws on each FEIP immediately after you install it and before proceeding with the installation of each remaining FEIP or other interface processor.

Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables

The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one port adapter. Each FEIP has one or two port adapters. On a single port adapter, you can use either the RJ-45 (or SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection or the MII connection. You can use the RJ-45 (or SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection on one port adapter and the MII connection on the other.

Note RJ-45, SC, and MII cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from

outside commercial cable vendors.

24 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Page 25

Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables

Connect RJ-45, SC (FEIP-1FX or -2FX), or MII cables as follows:

Step 1 If you have MII connections, attach an MII cable directly to the MII port on the FEIP or

attach a 100BASE-T transceiver, with the media appropriate to your application, to the

MII port on the FEIP. (See Figure 19 for FEIP-2TX or Figure 20 for FEIP-2FX.)

Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII

transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE

If you have RJ-45 connections, attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to one of the

RJ-45 ports on the FEIP. (See Figure 19 for FEIP-2TX or Figure 20 for FEIP-2FX.) The

FEIP is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the port adapter to a

repeater or hub.

If you have an SC connection (FEIP-1FX or -2FX), attach a cable directly to the SC port

on one of the port adapters. (See Figure 20.) Use either one duplex SC connector, or two

simplex SC connectors, and observe the correct relationship between the receive (RX)

and transmit (TX) ports on the port adapter and your repeater.

For the 100BASE-TX RJ-45 connections, attach the ferrite bead to the RJ-45 cable (at

either end), as shown in Figure 21.

Caution The ferrite bead prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the

100BASE-TX-equipped system and is a required component for proper system operation.

Figure 21 Attaching the Ferrite Bead around the RJ-45 Cable

Ferrite bead RJ-45 cable

Caution

To prevent problems on your FEIP and network, do not simultaneously connect RJ-45 (or SC) and MII cables to one port adapter. On a single port adapter, only one network connection can be used at one time. Only connect cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards. (Refer to Table 1 for cable recommendations and speciﬁcations.)

Step 3 Attach the network end of your RJ-45 (or SC) or MII cable to your 100BASE-T

transceiver, switch, hub, repeater, DTE, or other external 100BASE-T equipment.

Step 4 Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the second port adapter as required.

This completes the FEIP cable installation.

Using LEDs to Check FEIP Status

The FEIP has four status LEDs on its faceplate that indicate status on each FE port. (See Figure 9.)

Figure 22 LEDs (Partial Faceplate View of FEIP)

After you connect cables, observe the LED states and the console display as the router initializes. When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. (For complete descriptions of the FEIP LEDs, refer to the section “FEIP LEDs” on page 16.)

The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP is enabled for operation.

Using LEDs to Check FEIP Status

H2941

The following conditions must be met before the FEIP is enabled:

• The interface processor is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power.

• The system bus recognizes the interface processor.

• A valid version of microcode is loaded and running.

If any of these conditions is not met, the enabled LED does not go on. Verify that the FEIP is connected correctly as follows:

Step 1 While the system reinitializes each interface, observe the console display messages and

verify that the system discovers the FEIP. The system should recognize the FEIP’s interfaces but leaves them conﬁgured as down.

Step 2 When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on each FEIP port

adapter is on and remains on. If the LED does stay on, proceed to Step 5. If the enabled LED does not stay on, proceed to the next step.

Step 3 If an enabled LED fails to go on, suspect the that the FEIP board connector is not fully

seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, then ﬁrmly push the top ejector down while pushing the bottom ejector up until both are parallel to the FEIP faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. If the enabled LED goes on, proceed to Step 5. If the enabled LED does not go on, proceed to the next step.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 27

Page 28

Conﬁguring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*

Step 4 If an enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the FEIP and try installing it in another

available interface processor slot. If the enabled LED goes on when the FEIP is installed in the new slot, suspect a failed

backplane port in the original interface processor slot. If the enabled LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the FEIP go on to indicate

activity, proceed toStep 5 to resume the installation checkoutand suspect that the enabled LED on the FEIP has failed.

If no LEDs on the FEIP go on, suspect that the FEIP is faulty. If the enabled LED still does not go on, do not proceed with the installation. Contact a

service representative to report the faulty equipment and obtain further instructions.

Step 5 Use the show interfaces or show controllers cbus command to verify the status of the

FEIP’sinterfaces. (If the interfaces are not conﬁgured, you must conﬁgure them using the procedures in the section “Conﬁguring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*.”)

If an error message displays on the console terminal, refer to the appropriate reference publication for error message deﬁnitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact a service representative for assistance.

Conﬁguring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*

If you installed a new FEIP or if you want to change the conﬁguration of an existing interface, you must enter conﬁguration mode using the conﬁguration command. If you replaced an interface that was previously conﬁgured, the system recognizes the new interface and bring it up in its existing conﬁguration.

After you verify that the new FEIP is installed correctly (the enabled LED on each port adapter goes on), use the privileged-level conﬁgure command to conﬁgure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the information you need, such as the following:

• Protocols you plan to route on each new interface

• Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to conﬁgure the interfaces for IP routing

• Whether the new interfaces will use bridging

For a summary of the conﬁguration options available and instructions for conﬁguring the interfaces on the FEIP, refer to the appropriate conﬁguration publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

The conﬁgure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level access.

Each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX interface on an FEIP can be conﬁgured at 100 Mbps, half duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.

Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP, we recommend that you do not operate both interfaces on an

FEIP in full-duplex mode.

28 Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Conﬁguration

Page 29

Selecting Interface Processor Slot, Interface, and Interface Port Numbers

This section describes how to identify interface processor slot, interface, and interface port numbers. Although the interface processor slots in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 are vertically

oriented and those in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all models use the same method for slot and port numbering.

In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router interface processor end. (See the example of an FEIP-2TX shown in Figure 23.) This address is composed of a three-part number in the format interface processor slot number/adapter number/interface port number.

• The ﬁrst number identiﬁes the chassis interface processor slot in which the FEIP is installed (as

shown in the example system in Figure 23).

• The second number identiﬁes the physical interfaceon the FEIP and is slot 0 (on the left) and slot

1 (on the right).

• The third number identiﬁes the interface port, which is always numbered as interface 0.

Interface ports on the FEIP maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move an FEIP to a different slot, the ﬁrst number in the address changes to reﬂect the new interface processor slot number.

Figure 23 shows the interface processor slots and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. On the FEIP-2TX, the ﬁrst interface number is 0 and the second is 1. For example, on the FEIP in slot 3 (shown in Figure 23), the address of the left (ﬁrst) interface is 3/0/0 (interface processor slot 3, interface 0, and interface port 0). The address of the right (second) interface is 3/1/0 (interface processor slot 3, interface 1, and interface port 0).

If you remove the FEIP-2TX from slot 3 and install it in interface processor slot 2, the addresses of these interfaces become 2/0/0 and 2/1/0.

Conﬁguring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*

Conﬁguring Interfaces—Descriptions and Examples

This section describes a basic conﬁguration. Press the Return key after each step unless otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering disable at the prompt as follows:

Router# disable

Router>

Following is a basic conﬁguration procedure:

Step 1 At the privileged-level prompt, enter conﬁguration mode and specify that the console

terminal is the source of the conﬁguration subcommands, as follows:

Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Step 2 At the prompt, specify the ﬁrst interface to conﬁgure by entering the subcommand

interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/port (interface processor slot number/0). The example that follows is for the interface port of the ﬁrst interface port, on an FEIP in interface processor slot 1:

Router(config)# interface fa 1/0/0

Step 3 If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to

the interface with the ip address conﬁguration subcommand, as in the following example:

Router(config-int)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0

Step 4 Add any additional conﬁguration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and

set the interface characteristics.

Step 5 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:

Router(config-int)# no shutdown

Step 6 Conﬁgure additional interfaces as required. Step 7 When you have included all of the conﬁguration subcommands to complete the

conﬁguration, press Ctrl-Z to exit conﬁguration mode.

Step 8 Write the new conﬁguration to nonvolatile memory as follows:

Router# copy running-config startup-config [OK] Router#

Following are descriptions and examples of the commands for conﬁguring interface 3/0/0. Descriptions are limited to ﬁelds that are relevant for establishing and verifying the conﬁguration. After conﬁguring the new interface, use show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, or to verify changes you have made.

Depending on the requirements for your system conﬁguration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface, you might also need to enter other conﬁguration subcommands. For complete descriptions of conﬁguration subcommands and the conﬁguration options available for interfaces, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

Configuring Interfaces—Descriptions and Examples

FE half-duplex operation is the default. Tochange to full-duplex operation, use the following series of commands:

Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Router(config)# interface fastethernet 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# full-duplex Ctrl-z

Note Each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX interface on an FEIP can be conﬁgured at 100 Mbps,

half duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.

Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP,we recommend that you do not operate both FE interfaces on

an FEIP in full-duplex mode.

Using the show interfaces fastethernet command, you can see that the 3/0/0 interface is now conﬁgured for full-duplex operation:

Router# sh int fa 3/0/0 FastEthernet 3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up

(display text omitted)

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, fdx, 100BaseTX

To return the interface to half-duplex operation, use the no full-duplex conﬁguration command as follows:

Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# int fa 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# no full-duplex Ctrl-z Router#

Using the show interfaces fastethernet command, you can see that the 3/0/0 interface is now conﬁgured for half-duplex operation:

Router# sh int fa 3/0/0 FastEthernet3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up

Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# int fa 3/0/0 Router(config-if)# media-type mii Ctrl-z Router# Router# sh int fa 3/0/0 FastEthernet3/0/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up

(display text omitted)

Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive not set, hdx, MII

(display text omitted)

Use the media-type 100 conﬁguration command to return the interface to its default state for RJ-45 or SC (ﬁber-optic) connections.

Checking the Conﬁguration

After conﬁguring the new interface, use the show commands to display the status of the new interface or all interfaces, and use the ping command to check connectivity.

Using show Commands to Verify the FEIP Status

The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are conﬁgured and operating correctly.

Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system hardware conﬁguration. Ensure

that the list includes the new interfaces.

Step 2 Display all the current interfaceprocessors and their interfaces with the showcontrollers

cbus command. Verify that the new FEIP appears in the correct slot.

Step 3 Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/adapter/interface

commandand verify that theﬁrst line of the display speciﬁes the interface with the correct slot number.Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or down.

Step 4 Display the protocols conﬁgured for the entire system and speciﬁc interfaces with the

show protocols command. If necessary, return to conﬁguration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the system or speciﬁc interfaces.

Step 5 Display the running conﬁguration ﬁle with the show running-conﬁg command. Display

the conﬁguration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-conﬁg command. Verify that the conﬁguration is accurate for the system and each interface.

If the interface is down and you conﬁgured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.

Using show Commands to Display Interface Information

To display information about a speciﬁc interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type slot/adapter/port].

Following is a partial-display example of how the show interfaces command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interface you specify. In this example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and an FEIP in interface processor slot 3 is shown:

Router# sh int fastethernet 2/0/0 FastEthernet2/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down Hardware is cyBus FastEthernet Interface, address is 0000.0ca5.2380 (bia 0000) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec), hdx, 100BaseTX

(additional displayed text omitted from this example)

With the show interfaces [type slot/adapter/port] command, use arguments such as the interface type (fastethernet, and so forth) and the port number (slot/port) to display information about a speciﬁc interface only, as in the following example of the show interfaces fastethernet command, which shows information speciﬁc to the ﬁrst interface on an FEIP in interface processor slot 2:

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity

The packet internet groper(ping) command allowsyou to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a speciﬁc port and connected devices at various locations on the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the system and FEIP have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a speciﬁed time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the speciﬁed time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of

exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages

[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed. Followingis an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:

Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return> Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#

Upgrading FEIP Microcode

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 FEIP-related interfaces, and which support FEIP functionality, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

Upgrading FEIP Microcode

The Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers support downloadablemicrocode, which allows you to upgrade microcode versions over the network. You can download new microcode versions and store multiple versions in Flash memory,and you can then boot from them just as you can with the system software images. System software upgrades might also contain upgraded microcode images, which load automatically when the new software image is loaded (unless the conﬁguration states otherwise).

Note Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to

worktogether.Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. Werecommend that you use the microcode included in the software bundle.

You can download microcode to Flash memory by copying the TFTP image of a microcode version to Flash memory. When the microcode image is stored in Flash memory, you have to conﬁgure the router to use that image via the microcode vip2 ﬂash command, then you can use the

microcode reload command to manually load the new microcode ﬁle. You can then use the conﬁgurecommand to instruct the system to load the new image automatically at each system boot.

Note The appropriate microcode image runs from dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) on

the FEIP.

Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP) Installation and Configuration 37

Page 38

Upgrading FEIP Microcode

To compare the size of the microcode image and the amount of Flash memory available, you must know the size of the new microcode image. The image size is speciﬁed in the README ﬁle that is included on the ﬂoppy disk with the new image.

Note Note the size of the new image before proceeding to ensure that you have sufﬁcient available

Flash memory for the new image.

Caution Before you copy a ﬁle to system Flash memory, be sure there is ample space available in Flash

memory. Compare the size of the ﬁle you want to copy to the amount of available Flash memory shown. If the space available is less than the space required by the ﬁle you want to copy, the copy process continues, but the entire ﬁle is not be copied into Flash memory.

Follow these steps to download (copy) a microcode version from a TFTP server to Flash memory:

Step 1 To display the total amount of Flash memory present, its location, any ﬁles that currently

exist in Flash memory and their size, and the amount of Flash memory remaining, use the show ﬂash command. Following is an example of the output that is displayed:

Router# show flash

-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 \ FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30 4023316 Jun 26 1994 19:44:29 image/file/1 2 .. FFFFFFFF 8075AA5D 4118B4 23 111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2

12044568 bytes available (8533736 bytes used)

Step 2 Compare the amount of available Flash memory (last line in the preceding example) to

the size of the new microcode image on the ﬂoppy disk. If you attempt to copy in a new image, and the size of the new image exceeds the available space in Flash, only part of the new image is copied, and the following error message is displayed:

buffer overflow - xxxx/xxxx

where xxxx/xxxx is the number of bytes read in/number of bytes available.

Step 3 After you verify that there is sufﬁcient space available in Flash memory for the new

image, use the command copy tftp:ﬁlename [ ﬂash | slot0 | slot1 ]:ﬁlename to copy an image to Flash memory. (tftp:ﬁlename is the ﬁle’s source and [ﬂash | slot0 | slot1]: ﬁlename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory cards.)

An example of the copy tftp:ﬁlename command follows:

Router# copy tftp:vip11-1 slot0:vip11-1 20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm] Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]? Loading new.image from 1.1.1.1 (via Ethernet1/0):!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![OK - 7799951/15599616 bytes] CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC Router#

Upgrading FEIP Microcode

Step 4 Use the show ﬂash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash. The

output should display the ﬁlename of the image you copied to Flash (vip11-1 in the following example):

Router# show flash

-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name 1 .. FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30 4023316 Jun 26 1994 19:44:29 image/file/1 2 .. FFFFFFFF 8075AA5D 4118B4 23 111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2 3 .. FFFFFFFF EEA1FEEB 8436E8 22 600516 Oct 10 1995 19:35:25 vip11-1

7646052 bytes available (16179788 bytes used)

Step 5 To ensure that the new microcode isused when you reboot the system, add the appropriate

commands to the conﬁguration ﬁle. To modify the conﬁguration ﬁle, enter conﬁguration mode by issuing the conﬁgure terminal command, as follows:

Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#

Step 6 Specify that you are changing the microcode for the FEIP (microcode vip2), and that it is

to load from Flash memory (ﬂash slot0 or slot1). Then add the ﬁlename of the new microcode image to be loaded from Flash:

Router(config)# microcode vip2 flash slot0:vip11-1

Step 7 To exit conﬁguration mode, press Ctrl-Z. Step 8 Copy the new conﬁguration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):

Router# copy running-config startup-config

The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running conﬁguration. The new FEIP microcode image is loaded automatically the next time the system boots or reinitializes.

Step 9 To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload

conﬁguration command (you must be in conﬁguration mode to enter this command):

Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# microcode reload

Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the system reloads all microcode. conﬁguration mode remains enabled; after the reload is complete, press Ctrl-Z to exit from conﬁguration mode and return to the system prompt.

Step 10 To verify that the FEIP is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-conﬁg or

show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running

microcode version for each interface processor.

Router# show controllers cbus

This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
