Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2 changed the behavior of the ROM monitor (ROMmon) during the bootup
sequence. See the “Boot Changes in Cisco IOS Release 12.2” section on page 10-2 for more information.
Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Upgrading to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is a different procedure than previous processor upgrades because of the following considerations:
The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 contain an I/O controller, which includes the bootflash and NVRAM
memory. After you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in a chassis, you can no longer access the bootflash and NVRAM on the I/O controller. You therefore must make the existing Cisco IOS software image and configuration files available to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, either by putting these files on a CompactFlash Disk or on a TFTP server.
The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 include three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. If you want to use these
interfaces to replace the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interfaces on the existing I/O controller, you must configure the new interfaces before they can be used to access the network. If you are also removing the existing I/O controller, you must remove the configuration for its Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interfaces.
Note The NPE-G2 provides a Fast Ethernet Management port, as well as three RJ-45 Gigabit
Ethernet ports.
The NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 use Type 1 CompactFlash Disk memory instead of the Type 2 Flash Disk
memory used in existing I/O controllers. You must transfer any information currently saved on Flash Disks to CompactFlash Disks so that it can be used after the upgrade to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Note If you are upgrading to an NPE-G2 from an NPE-G1, you do not need to perform the following
procedure.
To ensure a smooth upgrade, perform the following procedure only if you are upgrading to an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 from an NPE-400 or earlier network processing engine.

Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Before you install an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in an existing router and remove the existing processor and I/O controller, do the following:
Step 1 Copy the configuration file from the existing router to a TFTP server, Flash Disk, or PC Card. See the
“Copying the Configuration File” section on page 7-4 for details.
Step 2 Modify the configuration file to accommodate the new Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the NPE-G1 or
NPE-G2. If you are also planning to remove the I/O controller, also remove the configuration lines for the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interfaces on the I/O controller. See the “Configuring the Native Gigabit
Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 7-56 for guidelines.
Step 3 Copy the modified configuration file to a CompactFlash Disk that can be used on the NPE-G1 or
NPE-G2. If you are not planning on removing the existing I/O controller, you can do this by copying the configuration to a Flash Disk, as described in Step 1, before you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2. Then you can keep the Flash Disk in the I/O controller and copy it to a CompactFlash Disk in the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 after you have finished installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
If you are planning on removing the existing I/O controller, you can copy the configuration file to a CompactFlash Disk in the following ways:
Copy the configuration file to a TFTP server and then copy it to a CompactFlash Disk on an existing
NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Preparing for an Upgrade
Copy the configuration file to a Type 2 Flash Disk using the existing I/O controller, as described in
the “Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card” section on page 7-4. Then use a multi-function reader that accommodates both Type 1 CompactFlash Disk and Type 2 Flash Disk memory cards to transfer the configuration file to the CompactFlash Disk.
Use a Type 1-to-Type 2 adapter to convert the CompactFlash Disk to the Flash Disk form factor.
Then insert the CompactFlash Disk and adapter into the existing I/O controller and copy the configuration file to it, as described in Step 1.
Note The CompactFlash Disk must be formatted before you can write any files to it. The
CompactFlash Disk shipped with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is already formatted, but a spare CompactFlash Disk must be formatted using the format command. Do not format the CompactFlash Disk in a PC or other workstation because the router cannot use CompactFlash Disks that are formatted by other computers. After the CompactFlash Disk is properly formatted, however, you can write to it using any PC or workstation that recognizes Type 2 CompactFlash Disk memory.
Step 4 (Optional) Copy the proper Cisco IOS software image (see Table 8-4 on page 8-4) to the CompactFlash
Disk, using the same technique you used to copy the configuration file in Step 3. You do not need to perform this step if you plan to boot the router from a TFTP server, but you must add the proper boot configuration command to the configuration file when you modify it in Step 2.

Copying the Configuration File
Copying the Configuration File
Caution Before powering down the router to install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, you must save the current
configuration to a Flash Disk, PC Card, Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file server, or PC before you install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, or the configuration will be lost and you will have to manually re-enter your configuration.
Cisco IOS looks to the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 NVRAM for the startup running configuration, because the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, by default, stores the running configuration, whether or not an I/O controller is installed with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
The following sections provide instructions for copying the file to a Flash Disk, PC Card, or TFTP server, and for copying it manually using a terminal program on a PC:

Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Copying the Configuration File to a Flash Disk or PC Card
Use the following instructions for copying the router configuration file to a Flash Disk or PC Card.
Caution If the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 will be installed in a router with either a C7200-I/O-GE/E or
C7200-I/O-2FE/E I/O controller, copy your running configuration to a Flash Disk, not a PC Card. PC Cards are not supported on these I/O controllers when an NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is present. If you copy the running configuration to a PC Card with these I/O controllers present, you will not be able to retrieve the running configuration after the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 is installed.
Step 1 Insert the Flash Disk or PC Card into I/O controller PC Card slot 0. If slot 0 is full, use slot 1. If you
need to format the Flash Disk, go to Step 2. If the Flash Disk is already formatted, go to Step 3.
Step 2 Use the format disk0: command to format a Flash Disk in slot 0. Use the format disk1: command to
format a Flash Disk in slot 1. If you are using a PC card, use slot0 or slot1 as part of the command.
System# format disk0: Format operation may take a while. Contineu: [confirm] Format operation will destroy all data in ‘disk0:’. Continue? [confirm] Format :Drive communication and 1st Sector Write OK... Writing Monlib sectors

Step 3 Make sure you are at the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (check the system prompt
for a pound sign [#]). If the system prompt does not have a pound sign (#), enter enable, and then your password.
Step 4 Enter the show running-config command to display the router’s running configuration. Ensure that the
configuration information is complete and correct. If it is not, use the configure command to add or modify the existing configuration. Then enter the copy running-config command. If you have a Flash Disk 0 or 1, use disk0 or disk1 as part of the command. If you are using a PC Card, use slot0 or slot1 as part of the command.
Step 5 To copy the running configuration file to the Flash Disk or PC Card, enter the copy running-config
disk0: filename or copy running-config slot0: filename command:
System# copy running-config disk0: filename
You have finished copying the running configuration file to the Flash Disk or PC Card.
Go to the “Removing the Network Processing Engine” section on page 7-7 for instructions on removing the current network processing engine or network services engine and replacing it with the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Copying the Configuration File
Copying the Configuration File to a TFTP Server
Before copying the router configuration file to a TFTP file server, check the following items:
A console terminal is connected to the console port on the I/O controller or a Telnet session is
established to the router.
The router is connected to a network supporting a file server (remote host).
The remote host supports the TFTP application.
You have the name or address of the remote host.
Complete the following steps to copy the router’s configuration file to a remote host:
Step 1 Make sure you are at the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter (check the system prompt
for a pound sign [#]). If the system prompt does not have a pound sign (#), enter enable, and then your password.
Step 2 Use the ping command to check the connection between the router and the remote host.
Step 3 Enter the show running-config command to display the router’s running configuration. Ensure that the
configuration information is complete and correct. If it is not, use the configure command to add or modify the existing configuration. Then enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the retrieved configuration in NVRAM. NVRAM uses lithium batteries to maintain its contents when disconnected from power.
Note Refer to the appropriate software documentation listed in the “Related Documentation” section
on page iii for descriptions of the configuration options available for the system and individual
interfaces, and for specific configuration instructions.

Copying the Configuration File
Step 4 Enter the copy startup-config tftp command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the
name or IP address of the remote host that is to receive the configuration file. (The prompt might include the name or address of a default file server.)
Router# copy startup-config tftp Remote host []?
Step 5 Enter the name or IP address of the remote host. In the following example, the name of the remote host
is servername:
Router# copy startup-config tftp Remote host []? servername Translating "servername"...domain server (10.1.1.1) [OK]
Step 6 The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for the name of the file that will contain the configuration.
By default, the system appends -confg to the router’s name to create the new filename. Press Return to accept the default filename, or enter a different name for the file before pressing Return. In the following example, the default is accepted:
Name of configuration file to write [Router-confg]? Write file Router-confg on host 10.1.1.1? [confirm]
Writing Router-confg.....
Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Step 7 Before the router executes the copy process, it displays the instructions you entered for confirmation. If
the instructions are not correct, enter n (no), and then press Return to stop the process. To accept the instructions, press Return, or y and then press Return; the system begins the copy process. In the following example, the default is accepted:
Write file Router-confg on host 10.1.1.1? [confirm] Writing Router-confg: !!!! [ok]
While the router copies the configuration to the remote host, it displays a series of exclamation points (! ! !) or periods (. . .). The !!!! and [ok] indicate that the operation is successful. A display of . . . [timed out] or [failed] indicates a failure, which would probably be because of a network fault or the lack of a writable, readable file on the remote file server.
Step 8 Check the result of the copy process.
If the display indicates that the process was successful (with the series of exclamation points [! ! !]
and [ok]), the copy process is complete. The configuration file is safely stored in the temporary file on the remote file server.
If the display indicates that the process failed (with the series of periods [. . .] as shown in the
following example), your configuration was not saved:
Writing Router-confg .....
Step 9 If your configuration was not saved, repeat the preceding steps, or select a different remote file server
and repeat the preceding steps. If you are unable to copy the configuration to a remote host successfully, contact your network administrator or see the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting
a Service Request” section on page iv for instructions on contacting technical assistance.
This completes the procedure for copying the configuration file to a TFTP server. Proceed to “Removing
the Network Processing Engine” section on page 7-7.

Copying the Configuration File Using a PC
Complete the following steps to copy the router’s configuration file to a text file on a PC connected to the router’s console port.
Step 1 Connect a serial port on the PC to the router’s console port. Start a terminal program on the PC and
configure it for the same baud rate, parity, and stop-bits that the console port is using.
Step 2 Turn on the terminal program’s capture buffer so that it will save all output to a text file.
Step 3 Enter the show startup-config command in privileged EXEC mode to display the router’s startup
configuration.
Note Refer to the appropriate software documentation listed in the “Related Documentation” section
on page iii for descriptions of the configuration options available for the system and individual
interfaces, and for specific configuration instructions.
Step 4 When the router has completed displaying the configuration, turn off the terminal program’s capture
buffer and save the configuration file to the disk on the PC.
Step 5 (Optional) Use a text editor on the PC to modify the configuration, as needed.
Removing the Network Processing Engine
This completes the procedure for copying the configuration file to a PC. Proceed to “Removing the
Network Processing Engine” section on page 7-7.
Removing the Network Processing Engine
Before you begin any removal or installation procedure, read Chapter 8, “Preparation for Installation.” To install the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, follow the instructions in this chapter for removal of an existing network processing engine or network services engine and installation of the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2.
Note If you are removing the I/O controller, and do not plan to replace it, you must install an I/O controller
blank panel (Cisco Product Number IO-CONTROLR-BLANK=) in the I/O controller slot. See the
Input/Output Controller Replacement Instructions for information on removing an I/O controller and

Ensuring Easy Access to the Router
If your Cisco 7200 VXR router or Cisco uBR7200 series router is installed in a standard 19-inch, 4-post or telco-type rack, cables from other equipment in the rack might obstruct access to the rear of the router. Also, rack power strips or other permanent fixtures may obstruct access to the router. Review the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack. This is particularly important because the NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 have interfaces that require cabling on the rear of the router.
If the router is not installed in a rack, or if you already have clear access to the rear of the router, proceed to the “Powering Down the Router and Disconnecting Input Power” section on page 7-8.
Use the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack:
Ensure that you have at least 3 to 4 feet (0.91 to 1.22 meters) of working space at the rear of the
router.
If cables from other equipment in the rack fall in front of the rear end of the router, carefully gather
the cables (using care not to strain or stress them) and use cable ties to anchor them away from the rear of the router.
If access to the rear of the router is partially blocked by a power strip or some other permanent rack
fixture, detach the router from the rack and carefully slide it forward until there is enough clearance to remove the power supply, the network processing engine, and the subchassis from the router.
Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Caution Make sure that at least one other person is available to support the front of the router as you slide it out
from the rack and, if necessary, to continue to support it while you remove and insert the power supply, network processing engine, or subchassis.
Powering Down the Router and Disconnecting Input Power
Complete the steps in the following sections to power down the router and disconnect input power.

power source at your site. Typically, green or green and yellow are used for ground. Make certain that the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches the lead color coding used at the DC power source.
Step 6 Repeat the steps above to disconnect a secure power supply.
This completes the procedure for disconnecting DC-input power from a Cisco uBR7246VXR router. Go to the following section, “Removing the NPE or NSE-1.”

Removing the Network Processing Engine
Removing the NPE or NSE-1
To remove the NPE or NSE-1 from a Cisco 7200 VXR router, a Cisco uBR7246VXR or a Cisco UBR7225VXR router complete the following steps.
Note The weight of installed power supplies in your Cisco 7200 VXR or Cisco uBR7246VXR router might
make it difficult to remove the network processing engine. If you have difficulty, first remove the power supplies from the chassis, and then remove the network processing engine. See the “Removing and
Replacing an AC-Input or DC-Input Power Supply” section on page 10-14 for information on removing
and replacing an installed power supply.
Note If you have difficulty installing a network processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco
7200 VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, network processing engine and I/O controller from the chassis and reinstall them. Install the network processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first, then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order.
Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Step 1 Power down the router and disconnect the input power cable. (See the “Powering Down the Router and
Disconnecting Input Power” section on page 7-8.)
Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 3 Using a number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive installation
screws on the faceplate of the network processing engine. (See Figure 7-6.)
If the router is not installed in a standard 19-inch, 4-post or telco-type rack, skip to Step 7. If the router is installed in a rack, determine if any permanent rack fixtures, such as a power strip, are obstructing access to the rear of the router. If a rack fixture is obstructing access to the router, proceed with Step 4.

Step 4
Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the screws that secure the router to the front mounting strips of the rack.
Step 5 Position at least one person in front of the rack to support the front underside of the router.
Step 6 From the rear of the rack, carefully push the front of the router out of the rack until there is enough
clearance to remove the network processing engine.
Step 7 Grasp the network processing engine handle and carefully pull the network processing engine from its
chassis slot.
Caution Handle the network processing engine by the carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed
circuit board components or connector pins.
Step 8 Place the NPE on an antistatic surface with its printed circuit board components facing upward, or in a
static shielding bag. If you are returning the network processing engine to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
This completes the procedure for removing an installed NPE. For instructions on installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2, go to the “Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2” section on page 7-18.
