Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites
Var ning! Denna varningssymbol signalerar fara. Du befinner dig i en situation som kan leda till
personskada. Innan du utför arbete på någon utrustning måste du vara medveten om farorna med
elkretsar och känna till vanligt förfarande för att förebygga skador. Se förklaringar av de varningar
som förkommer i denna publikation i dokumentet Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
(Efterrättelse av föreskrifter och säkerhetsinformation), vilket medföljer denna anordning.
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.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people 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. Port adapters and processor modules
consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to
protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are 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 or midplane. These devices prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are
properly seated.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
6 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
• 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. If you plan to return the component to the factory, 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.
What Is the 100VG Port Adapter?
This section contains information specific to the 100VG port adapter and its use with Cisco 7000
series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco 7500 series routers.
The following sections discuss information specific to the 100VG port adapter:

VIP2 and 100VG Port Adapters
Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2
This section provides the standard procedures for installing or replacing a port adapter on the VIP2.
Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter on a VIP2
motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips
screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed interface processor, and an
antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
Caution To prevent system problems, do not remove port adapters from the VIP2 motherboard, or attempt
to install other port adapters on the VIP2 motherboard while the system is operating. To install or replace port
adapters, first remove the VIP2 from its interface processor slot.
Note Each port adapter circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage.
Each port adapter has one Phillips-head screw that secures it to its port adapter slot. We strongly
recommend that the following procedures be performed by a Cisco-certified service provider;
however, this is not a requirement.
While the VIP2 supports online insertion and removal, individual port adapters do not. To replace
port adapters, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then install or replace port adapters
as required. If a blank port adapter is installed on the VIP2 in which you want to install a new port
adapter, you must first remove the VIP2 from the chassis, then remove the blank port adapter.
Caution To prevent interface reconfiguration requirements, you should replace a port adapter with the same
type of port adapter you removed, but this is not a requirement.
When only one port adapter is installed on a VIP2, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to
allow the VIP2 and router chassis to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions
requirements, and so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port
adapter, you must first remove the blank port adapter.
Use the following standard procedure to remove and replace any type of port adapter on a VIP2:
Step 1Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Note If you want to install a new port adapter on a VIP2 with a single port adapter, you
must first remove the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot in which you want to
install the new port adapter.
Step 2For a new port adapter installation or a port adapter replacement, disconnect any interface
cables from the ports on the front of the port adapter, although, this is not required. You
can remove VIP2s with cables attached; however, we do not recommend it.
Step 3Remove the VIP2 from the system. (Follow the steps in the section “Removing a VIP2”
in the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2)
Installation and Configuration [Document Number 78-2658-xx], which shipped with
your VIP2.)
Step 4Place the removed VIP2 on an antistatic mat.
12 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP2
Step 5Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See
Figure 7.) This screw secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.
Figure 7Location of Port Adapter Screw (Partial Port Adapter View)

Screw
Step 6
Remove the screw that secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter).
Step 7With the screw removed, grasp the handle on the front of the port adapter (or blank port
adapter) and carefully pull it out of its slot, away from the edge connector at the rear of
the slot. (See Figure 8.)
Figure 8Pulling a Port Adapter Out of a Slot (Partial Port Adapter View)
H3149
Step 8
If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or
shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is
required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use.

VIP2 and 100VG Port Adapters
Step 9Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening
of the slot. (See Figure 9.)
Step 10Carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port
adapter slot, as shown in Figure 9.
Caution To prevent jamming the carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, and to
assure that the edge connector at the rear of the port adapter mates with the connector at the rear of the port
adapter slot, make certain that the leading edges of the carrier are between the upper and lower slot edges, as
shown in the cutaway in Figure 9.

Replace the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot. (See Figure 7 for its location.) Do
not overtighten this screw.
Step 13Reinstall the VIP2 in the system. (Follow the steps in the section “Installing a VIP2” in
the configuration note Second-Generation Versatile Interface Processor (VIP2)
Installation and Configuration [Document Number 78-2658-xx], which shipped with
your VIP2.)
Step 14If disconnected, reconnect the interface cables to the port adapters.
This completes the procedure for installing a new port adapter or replacing a port adapter on a VIP2.

VIP2 and 100VG Port Adapters
Attaching 100VG Port Adapter Interface Cables
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable
vendors.
Use the following procedure to connect RJ-45 cables to the 100VG port adapter:
Step 1Attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to the RJ-45 port on the 100VG port adapter.
(See Figure 11.)
Warning 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.

Step 2Attach the network end of your RJ-45 cable to your 100VG hub or repeater or other
external 100VG equipment.
Step 3Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each additional 100VG interface.
This completes the 100VG port adapter installation.
16 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Configuring the 100VG AnyLAN Interfaces
If you installed a new 100VG port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing
interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a
100VG port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 100VG
interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration.
After you verify that the new 100VG port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on),
use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the
information you will 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 100VG
AnyLAN interfaces on the 100VG port adapter, 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.
Configuring the 100VG AnyLAN Interfaces
Note The 100VG interfaces on a 100VG port adapter can be configured at 100 Mbps, half duplex
for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 100 Mbps per 100VG interface.
Determining Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and 100VG AnyLAN Interface Port Numbers
The following section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and interface port
numbers.
Note Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and 13-slot Cisco 7513
are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot 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 Figure 12.) This address is composed of a three-part number
in the format chassis slot number/port adapter number/interface port number, as follows:
• The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the 100VG-equipped VIP2 is installed (as
shown in the example system in Figure 12).
• The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.
• The third number identifies the interface port on the 100VG port adapter, which is always
numbered as interface 0.
Interface ports on the 100VG-equipped VIP2 maintain the same addresses regardless of whether
other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different
slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new chassis slot number.
Figure 12 shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. On a
100VG port adapter interface port numbers are always 0. For example, the 100VG AnyLAN
interface port on a 100VG port adapter in the first port adapter slot in chassis slot 3, would be 3/0/0.
(See Figure 12.) The 100VG port adapter in port adapter slot 1 would be numbered 3/1/0.
PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 17
VIP2 and 100VG Port Adapters
Note If you remove the 100VG-equipped VIP2 from chassis slot 3 and install it in chassis slot 2,
the addresses of those same ports become 2/0/0 through 2/1/1.
Figure 12100VG Interface Port Number Example (Cisco 7505 Shown)
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port-adapter/interface port location
on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific
interface or all interfaces in the router.
Configuring an Interface
The following steps describe 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

Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration:
Step 1At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console
terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand
interface, followed by the type (vg) and slot/port adapter/interface (interface processor
slot number/port adapter slot number/interface number).
The example that follows is for the interface on the first port adapter on a 100VG port
adapter in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# interface vg 1/0/0
18 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Configuring the 100VG AnyLAN Interfaces
Step 3If 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-if)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Step 4Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and
set the interface characteristics.
Step 5Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6Configure additional interfaces as required.
Step 7When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.
Step 8Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the
Configuration.”
Checking the Configuration
This section provides information for checking your 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 New Interface Status
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and
operating correctly.
Step 1Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command to ensure
Step 2Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers
Step 3Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/port

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 and System 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/port adapter/interface].
Following is an example of how the show interfaces type [slot/port adapter/interface] command
displays status information (including the chassis slot, port adapter slot, and port address) for an
interface you specify. In this example, most of the status information for the interface is omitted, and
the 100VG interface is in chassis slot 3, in port adapter slot 1. (Interfaces are administratively shut
down until you enable them.)

With the show interfacestype [slot/port adapter/interface] command, use arguments such as the
interface type (vg, and so forth) and the slot, port adapter, and port numbers (slot/port adapter/port)
to display information about a specific 100VG AnyLAN interface.
The following example of the show interfaces vg slot/port adapter/interface command shows all of
the information specific to the first 100VG AnyLAN interface port (interface port 0) in chassis slot

Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connection
The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you 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 100VG-equipped VIP2 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.
Following is 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#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server
is active (powered on); then repeat the ping command. For complete descriptions of interface
subcommands and the configuration options available for 100VG-related interfaces, and which
support 100VG functionality, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More
Information” on page 2.

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter in Cisco 7200 Series Routers
This section provides the standard procedures for installing or replacing port adapters in a
Cisco 7200 series router.
Depending on your circumstances, you might need to install a new port adapter in a Cisco 7200
series router or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case no tools are necessary; all port
adapters available for the Cisco 7200 series connect directly to the router midplane and are locked
into position by a port adapter lever. When removing and replacing a port adapter, you will need an
antistatic mat onto which you can place a removed port adapter and an antistatic container into which
you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory.
Note The Cisco 7200 series routers support OIR; therefore, you do not have to power down the
Cisco 7200 series routers when removing and replacing a port adapter.
24 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
When a port adapter slot is not in use, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the router
to conform to EMI emissions requirements and to allow proper air flow across the port adapters. If
you plan to install a new port adapter in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove a blank port
adapter.
Removing a Port Adapter
Use the following standard procedure to remove a port adapter from a Cisco 7200 series router:
Step 1Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2Place the port adapter lever for the desired port adapter slot in the unlocked position. The

Caution Do not slide the port adapter all the way into the slot until you have connected all required cables.
Trying to do so will disrupt normal operation of the router.
Step 5With the port adapter halfway in the slot, connect all required cables to the port adapter.
Step 6After connecting all required port adapter cables, carefully slide the port adapter all the
way into the slot until you feel the port adapter’s connectors mate with the midplane.
Step 7Move the port adapter lever to the locked position. Figure 17 shows the port adapter lever
in the locked position.
Note If the port adapter lever does not move to the locked position, the port adapter is
not completely seated in the midplane. Carefully pull the port adapter halfway out of the
slot, reinsert it, and move the port adapter lever to the locked position.

Configuring the 100VG Interfaces
If you installed a new 100VG port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing
interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a
100VG port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize each new 100VG and
bring it up in its existing configuration.
After you verify that the new 100VG port adapter is installed correctly (the enabled LED goes on),
use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with the
information you will 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 100VG
interfaces on a Cisco 7200 series router, 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.
Configuring the 100VG Interfaces
Selecting Port Adapter Slot and 100VG Port Numbers
The following section describes how to identify port adapter slot and 100VG port numbers.
Physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See
Figure 19.) This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slotnumber/interface port number, as follows:
• The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the 100VG port adapter is installed.
• The second number identifies the interface port on each 100VG port adapter—always numbered
as interface 0.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or
removed from the slot. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number
in the address changes to reflect the new chassis slot number.
PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 29
Cisco 7200 Series and 100VG Port Adapters
Figure 19 shows the port adapter slots and interface ports of a Cisco 7206. The port adapter slot
numbers start with 1 and continue through 6 (slot 0 is always reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on
the I/O controller—if present). The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The
number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter.
For example, the 100VG port on a 100VG port adapter in port adapter slot 3 would have the
address 3/0. (See Figure 19.) If the 100VG port adapter was in port adapter slot 1, this same interface
port would be numbered 1/0.

Configuring Interfaces
100VG port adapter
(port number 3/0)
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/interface port location on the front
of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific interface or all
interfaces in the router.
The following steps describe a basic interface 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 an example of a basic configuration procedure:
Step 1At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console
terminal will be the source of the configuration subcommands as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 2At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand
interface, followed by the type (100vg) and slot/port (port adapter slot number and
interface port number). The example that follows is for the first interface of the port
adapter in slot 2:
Router(config)# interface 100vg 2/0
30 PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
Configuring the 100VG Interfaces
Step 3If 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-if)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0
Step 4Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and
set the interface characteristics.
Step 5Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6Configure additional interfaces as required.
Step 7When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.
Step 8Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:
To check the interface configuration using show commands, proceed to the section “Checking the
Configuration.”
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 New Interface Status
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and
operating correctly:
Step 1Display the system hardware configuration with the show version command to ensure
Step 2Display all the current port adapters and their interfaces with the show controllers
Step 3Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type [slot/interface] command
Step 4Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the

protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.
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.

Obtaining Documentation
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connection
The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you 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 a brief description of the ping command. After you verify that
the system has booted successfully and is 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 timeout 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.
Following is 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#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server
is active (powered on); then repeat the ping command.
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for
Cisco 7200 series-related interfaces and functionality, refer to the publications listed in the section
“If You Need More Information” on page 2.
