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 and 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.

Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites

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.

• 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.

Token Ring Overview

The following sections describe Token Ring specifications, physical connections, connection equipment, and cables and connectors.

Token Ring Specifications

The term Token Ring refers to both IBM’s Token Ring Network, which IBM developed in the 1970s, and to IEEE 802.5 networks. The IEEE 802.5 specification was modeled after, and still closely shadows, IBM’s network. The two types are compatible, although the specifications differ slightly.

Token Ring and IEEE 802.5 are token passing networks, which move a small frame, called a token, around the network. Possession of the token grants the right to transmit; a station with information to transmit must wait until it detects a free token passing by.

The IBM Token Ring specifies a star topology, with all end stations connected through a device called a multistation access unit (MSAU). IEEE 802.5 does not specify any topology, although most implementations are based on a star configuration with end stations attached to a device called a media

Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites

access unit (MAU). Also, IBM Token Ring specifies twisted-pair cabling, whereas IEEE 802.5 does not specify media type. Most Token Ring networks use shielded twisted-pair cabling; however, some networks that operate at 4 Mbps use unshielded twisted-pair cable.

Table 1 shows a comparison of the two types.

All 4R port adapter interfaces support both 4- and 16-Mbps, half-duplex operation and early token release. The default for all ports is for 4-Mbps operation and early token release disabled. Both states are enabled with configuration commands in configuration mode.

To enable 16 Mbps, specify the slot/port address and use the configuration command ring-speed 16; to return to 4 Mbps operation, use the command ring-speed 4. To enable and disable early token release, specify the slot/port address and use the configuration command [no] early token release. For complete descriptions and examples of software commands, refer to the related software configuration documentation.

In the typical Token Ring network shown in Figure 1, lobe cables connect each Token Ring station (4R port adapter interface) to the MSAU (or MAU), and patch cables connect adjacent MSAUs (or MAUs) to form one large ring.

Token Ring Connection Equipment

You will need an 802.5 MAU or an MSAU to provide the interface between the 4R port adapter Token Ring interfaces and the external ring, and a Token Ring lobe cable between each 4R port adapter interface and the MAU or MSAU. Lobe cables connect each Token Ring station (4R port adapter interface) to the MAU or MSAU, and patch cables can connect adjacent MSAUs to form one large ring.

4R port adapter interfaces operate at either 4 or 16 Mbps. The default speed for all 4R port adapter interfaces is 4 Mbps, which you can change to 16 Mbps on any port using the ring-speed n configuration command, where n is the speed (4 or 16) in Mbps. The speed of each Token Ring port must match the speed of the ring to which it is connected. Before you enable the Token Ring interfaces, ensure that each is set for the correct speed, or it can bring down the ring.

Caution Each 4R port adapter interface must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which it is

connected, either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the port is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Token Ring Distance Limitations

The maximum transmission distance is not defined for IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring) networks. Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling is most commonly used for rates of 4 and 16 Mbps. Twisted-pair cabling is more susceptible to interference than other types of cabling; therefore, the network length and repeater spacing should be planned accordingly.

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

Token Ring Speed Considerations

Before you install the 4R port adapter, determine the ring speed (4 or 16 Mbps) of each ring to be connected to the server. There is no factory default for the interface speed; you must set the speed of each interface (within the setup command facility or with the ring-speed command) before you bring the interface up and insert it into the ring with the no shutdown command.

Caution Each Token Ring port must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which it is connected;

either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the port is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

What Is the 4R Port Adapter?

4R Port Adapter Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts

A network interface cable provides the connection between the 9-pin Token Ring receptacles on the 4R port adapter and a media access unit (MAU). The 9-pin connector at the 4R port adapter end and the MAU connector at the network end are described in the section “Token Ring Connection Equipment” on page 8.

4R Port Adapter Cables

The Token Ring ports on the 4R port adapter are DB-9 (PC type) receptacles that require Type 1 or Type 3 lobe cables. Token Ring interface cables are not available from Cisco Systems, but are commercially available through outside cable vendors.

Type 1 lobe cables use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable and terminate at the network end with a large MAU plug. (See Figure 6.) The 4R port adapter end of the cable is a DB-9 plug.

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a 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.

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

VIP2 and the 4R 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 1 Attach 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 2 For 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 3 Remove 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.) Place the removed

VIP2 on an antistatic mat.

Step 4 Locate the screw at the rear of the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to be replaced. (See .) This screw

secures the port adapter (or blank port adapter) to its slot.

Step 7

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.

Step 8 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See

Figure 11.)

Step 9 Carefully align the port adapter carrier between the upper and lower edges of the port adapter slot, as

shown in Figure 11.

Caution To ensure a positive ground attachment between the port adapter carrier and the VIP2 motherboard and

port adapter slot, and to ensure that the connectors at the rear of the port adapter and slot seat properly, position the carrier between the upper and lower slot edges, as shown in Figure 12.

Step 10 Carefully slide the new port adapter into the port adapter slot (Figure 12) until the connector on the port

adapter is completely seated in the connector on the motherboard.

Step 11

Replace the screw in the rear of the port adapter slot. (See for its location.) Do not overtighten this screw.

Step 12 Reinstall 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 13 If 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 the 4R Port Adapter

Attaching 4R Port Adapter Interface Cables

The Token Ring ports on the 4R port adapter run at either 4- or 16 Mbps. You need one Token Ring interface cable for each 4R port adapter interface you want to use. Token Ring interface cables are not available from Cisco Systems, but are commercially available through outside cable vendors. Port adapters have a handle attached (see ), but this handle is not shown in to allow a full view of detail on the 4R port adapter’s faceplate.

Use the following procedure to attach Token Ring cables to the 4R port adapter:

Step 1 Determine which 4R port adapter ports you want to use.

Note The IBM Token Ring specifies a star topology, with all end stations connected through a device called

an MSAU. IEEE 802.5 does not specify any topology, although most implementations are based on a star configuration with end stations attached to a device called an MAU. Also, IBM Token Ring specifies twisted-pair cabling, whereas IEEE 802.5 does not specify media type. Most Token Ring networks use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling; however, some networks that operate at 4 Mbps use UTP cable.

Step 2 Attach the port adapter end of a Token Ring interface cable, or other connection equipment, to the

interface port. (See Figure 13).

Figure 13 Token Ring Interface Cable Connections

To MAU or MSAU

Caution Each 4R port adapter interface must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which it is

H6764

connected; either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the 4R port adapter interface is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Step 3 Attach the network end of the Token Ring interface cable to the appropriate Token Ring equipment

atyour site: a MAU or MSAU.

This completes the procedure for attaching interface cables to the 4R port adapter.

OL-3589-01

Configuring the 4R Interfaces

The following procedures describe basic configuration information for the 4R port adapter. If you installed a new 4R 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 4R port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 4R interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration.

After you verify that the new 4R 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

Note The 4R interfaces on a VIP2 can be configured for 16-Mbps operation and are configured for 4-Mbps

operation as a default.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 4R interfaces on the VIP2, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

Determining Chassis Slot, Port Adapter, and Token Ring Interface Port Numbers

The following section describes how to identify chassis slot, port adapter, and Token Ring interface port numbers.

Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7507 and 13-slot Cisco 7513 are vertically oriented

and those in the five-slot 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 .) 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 VIP2 is installed (as shown in the example

system in ).

• The second number identifies the physical port adapter number on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.

• The third number identifies interface ports on each 4R port adapter and are always numbered in

sequence as interface 0 through 3.

Interface ports on the 4R port adapter maintain the same address 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 slot number.

shows some of the slot port adapter and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. The first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter slot number is always 1. The individual interface port numbers always begin with 0. The number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on a port adapter.

OL-3589-01

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

For example, the addresses for the 4R interface ports on the first port adapter on a VIP2 (see ) are 3/0/0 through 3/0/3 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0 through 3). If the 4R port adapter were installed in port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 through 3/1/3.

Note If you remove the 4R-equipped VIP2 (shown in ) from chassis slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the addresses

of those same ports become 2/0/0 through 2/0/3.

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port location on the back of the router or by using software commands to display information about a specific interface or all interfaces in the router.

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

You can modify the startup configuration for Cisco 7500 series routers through the software command interpreter called EXEC. To configure the interfaces for interface processors, you can use either one of the setup or configure EXEC commands.

The setup command facility can be used after first time startup to make basic changes at any time. The changes you make will affect only the changed elements’ current memory values that are stored in nonvolatile memory.

The configure privileged EXEC command enables you to perform advanced configurations such as specifying interfaces. The EXEC interprets the commands you enter and carries out the corresponding operations. You can list available EXEC commands by entering a question mark (?). You also can enter a question mark to obtain more information about commands. For example, enter terminal ? to obtain a list of terminal commands or show ? to obtain a list of show commands.

Before you use the setup or the configure command, you must have privileged access to the EXEC command interpreter. The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>). The EXEC enable command allows access to the privileged level, prompting for a password if one has been set with the enable-password configuration command.

H5987

Follow these steps to enter the privileged level of the EXEC.

Step 1 At the EXEC prompt for a router, enter the enable command:

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

Router> enable

The EXEC prompts you for a privileged level password: Password:

Step 2 Enter the password.

For security purposes, the password is not displayed. (Also note that the password is case sensitive). When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged mode system prompt:

Router#

To configure Token Ring interfaces using the setup EXEC command facility, follow the instructions in the section “Using the Setup Command Facility.” To configure the Token Ring interfaces by using the configure EXEC command, follow the instructions in the section “Determining Chassis Slot, Port

Adapter, and Token Ring Interface Port Numbers” on page 19.

Using the Setup Command Facility

The setup command facility identifies all interfaces (including the Token Ring interfaces for the ports on the 4R port adapter) that are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each installed interface. When you finish configuring one interface, the setup command facility prompts you for the next, continuing until each interface has been configured.

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

When you enter the setup command facility after first time startup, you must run through the entire dialog until you come to the interface you want to change. Note that when you use the setup command after first time startup, the default values indicated within the brackets in the System Configuration Dialog are the values last set using the setup command facility or left as defaults.

After you choose to continue with the setup command (by answering yes to the system configuration dialog prompt), the remainder of the script is the actual configuration process. The dialog prompts you first for global system parameters, then for configuration information for each interface. The existing configuration is displayed as the default, in brackets ([ ]), at the end of each prompt. Press Return to accept the default settings.

Note After you start the setup command facility, the system runs through the entire configuration process; you

cannot quit out of it. To make a change or correct a mistake, press the Return key at each prompt, answer no when asked if you want to save the configuration, and restart the setup facility.

Use the setup command facility to configure the 4R Token Ring interfaces, as follows:

Step 1 After you access the privileged level of the EXEC, as described in the section “Using the EXEC

Command Interpreter” on page 20, enter the setup command to begin the setup facility:

Router# setup

Step 2 The following script is displayed on the screen, with the name of your router as the default in the

brackets.

-System Configuration DialogAt any point you may enter a question mark ‘?’ for help. Refer to the ‘Getting Started’ Guide for additional help. Default settings are in square brackets ‘[]’. Continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:

OL-3589-01

(Use Ctrl-c to abort configuration at any prompt) Configuring global parameters: Enter host name [Router]: sandbox

Step 3 To accept the default and keep the router name, press Return. (If you do want to change the name of

the router, enter the new name before pressing Return.)

Step 4 Proceed through the remainder of the global parameter prompts, using the Return key to accept the

defaults.

After the global parameters are configured, the system prompts you for interface configuration information, one interface at a time. Following is a partial display of the script for a previously configured interface:

Configuring interface parameters:

Configuring interface Token Ring0:

Is this interface in use [yes]:

Tokenring ring speed (4 or 16) [16]

Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: IP address for this interface: 1.1.1.30 (remainder of display text omitted)

Caution Each 4R port adapter interface must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which

it is connected; either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the 4R port adapter interface is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Step 5 To accept the default at each prompt and retain the existing configuration information, press the Return

key. When you reach the scripts for configuring new interfaces, enter the new configuration information at each prompt.

When all interfaces are configured, the system displays the entire configuration script followed by a prompt for which there is no default (you must enter yes or no):

Use this configuration [yes/no]:

Step 6 To use the configuration you created, enter yes. To discard the configuration file and begin the

configuration process again, enter no.

If you entered yes at the prompt, the following message is displayed:

Press RETURN to get started!

The configuration process is complete. Proceed to the section “Checking the Configuration” on page 24. It provides show commands you can use to display and verify the configuration information.

Configuring Interfaces Using the configure Command

Following are instructions for a basic configuration using the configure command: enabling an interface, setting interface ring speed, and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands depending upon the requirements for your system 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

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

Router>

Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration:

Step 1 After you access the privileged level of the EXEC as described in the section “Using the EXEC

Command Interpreter” on page 20, enter the configure command:

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

Step 2 Specify the first Token Ring interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface type slot/port

adapter/interface. For example, if you are configuring Token Ring interface 0 for a 4R port adapter

installed in port adapter slot 0, on a VIP2 installed in chassis slot 3, enter the following command:

Router(config)# interface tokenring 3/0/0

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 follows:

Router(config-if)# ip address ip address subnet mask

Caution Each Token Ring port must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which it is

connected; either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the port is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Note Token Ring ports operate at either 4 or 16 Mbps. The default speed for the 4R port adapter’s

Token Ring ports is 4 Mbps, which you can change to 16 Mbps on any port using the configuration ring-speed n command, where n is the speed (4 or 16) in Mbps. Before you enable the Token Ring interfaces, ensure that each is set for the correct speed, or it can bring down the ring.

Step 4 Change the default shutdown state and enable the interface:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

When you enable the interface by using the no shutdown command, the LED for 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps is turned on after about 5 seconds. The In Ring LED for that interface is turned on about 5 to 18 seconds later, when the port is initialized and connected to the ring.

Step 5 Either accept the default ring speed of 4 Mbps, or enable the Token Ring interface speed for 16-Mbps

operations as follows:

Router(config-if)# ring-speed 16

Step 6 Enter any additional configuration subcommands required.

Step 7 Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for each new interface.

Step 8 When all new interfaces are configured, press Ctrl-Z (hold the Control key down and press the Z key).

Step 9 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory by entering the following:

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

OL-3589-01

Step 10 Enter quit to exit configuration mode:

Router# quit

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

You have now completed configuring the Token Ring interfaces. Check the configuration as described in 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 the ping command to check connectivity. Refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2, for detailed command descriptions and examples.

Using show Commands to Verify the VIP2 Status

After configuring the new interface(s) using either the setup command or the configure command, use the EXEC show commands to display status information.

Step 1 Display the system software and hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that

the list includes the new interfaces and that your system is running the appropriate Cisco IOS software for your configuration.

Step 2 Enter the show configuration command to display the current system configuration file:

Router# show configuration

The configuration file for the router is displayed. Check the Token Ring configuration information in the display.

Step 3 Enter the show interfaces command to display and check all interfaces:

Router# show interfaces

Each interface is listed along with its assigned IP address. Verify that each new Token Ring interface appears.

Step 4 Enter the show interface tokenring slot/port adapter/port command to obtain detailed status

information about a specific Token Ring interface:

Router# show interface tokenring slot/port adapter/port

Detailed information about the interface is displayed. The first line of display specifies the interface along with its slot and port number. It indicates whether the hardware is functional and if the line protocol is up or down. If the line protocol is down (and you did not administratively shut it down), or if the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. (For explanations of the displayed information, refer to publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information,” on page 2, which are available on the Documentation CD-ROM.)

Step 5 Enter the show controller command to display the current status of VIP2s with 4R port adapters

installed:

Router# show controllers token

The display lists the Token Ring interfaces connected to each VIP2 and indicates whether the system has identified your new interface. It does not indicate the state of the line or the protocol.

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/port].

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter

Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port adapter/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In these examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the four Token Ring interfaces (0–3) are in chassis slot 3, in port adapter slot 0. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.)

With the show interfaces type slot/port adapter/port command, use arguments such as the interface type (Token Ring, and so forth) and the slot, port adapter, and port numbers (slot/port adapter/port) to display information about a specific serial interface only.

The following example of the show interfaces tokenring slot/port adapter/port command shows all of the information specific to the first 4R interface port (interface port 0) in chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0:

Router# sh int tokenring 3/0/0 TokenRing3/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down Hardware is cyBus TokenRing, address is 0000.0ca5.2300 (bia 0000.0ca5.2388) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec) ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 4:00:00 Last input never, output never, output hang never Last clearing of “show interface” counters 2:56:26 Output queue 0/40, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops 5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec 0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort 0 input packets with dribble condition detected 0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets, 0 restarts 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

Using the ping Command

The 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 VIP2 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports.

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), and repeat the ping command.

For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP2-related interfaces, and which support VIP2 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.

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.

Grasp the handle on the port adapter and pull the port adapter from the midplane, about halfway out of its slot. If you are removing a blank port adapter, pull the blank port adapter from the port adapter slot.

Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router midplane, OIR administratively shuts down

all active interfaces on the port adapter.

Step 4 With the port adapter halfway out of the slot, disconnect all cables from the port adapter.

Step 5 After disconnecting the cables, pull the port adapter from its port adapter slot.

Caution Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter’s

components or connector pins. (Refer to Figure 17.)

Attaching 4R Port Adapter Interface Cables

The Token Ring ports on the 4R port adapter run at either 4 or 16 Mbps. You need one Token Ring interface cable for each 4R port adapter interface you want to use. Token Ring interface cables are not available from Cisco Systems, but are commercially available through outside cable vendors. Port adapters have a handle but this handle is not shown in to allow a full view of detail on the 4R port adapter’s faceplate.

OL-3589-01

Cisco 7200 Series and the 4R Port Adapter

Step 1 Determine which 4R port adapter ports you want to use.

Note The IBM Token Ring specifies a star topology, with all end stations connected through a device

called an MSAU. IEEE 802.5 does not specify any topology, although most implementations are based on a star configuration with end stations attached to a device called an MAU. Also, IBM Token Ring specifies twisted-pair cabling, whereas IEEE 802.5 does not specify media type. Most Token Ring networks use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling; however, some networks that operate at 4 Mbps use UTP cable.

Step 2 Attach the port adapter end of a Token Ring interface cable, or other connection equipment, to the

interface port. (See Figure 20).

Figure 20 Token Ring Interface Cable Connections

To MAU or MSAU

Caution Each 4R port adapter interface must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which

H6764

it is connected; either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the 4R port adapter interface is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Step 3 Attach the network end of the Token Ring interface cable to the appropriate Token Ring equipment at

your site: a MAU or MSAU.

This completes the procedure for attaching 4R port adapter interface cables.

• 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

Note The 4R interfaces in a Cisco 7206 can be configured for 16-Mbps operation and are configured for

4-Mbps operation as a default.

For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the 4R interfaces on the Cisco 7206, refer to the appropriate configuration publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.

Selecting Port Adapter Slot and Token Ring Interface Port Numbers

The following section describes how to identify port adapter slot and Token Ring interface port numbers. In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on the router. (See .) This address is composed of a two-part number in the format port adapter slot number/interface port number, as follows:

• The first number identifies the chassis slot in which the 4R port adapter is installed.

The second number identifies interface ports on each 4R port adapter and are always numbered in sequence as interface 0 through 3.

Interface ports on the 4R port adapter maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number.

Note The I/O controller is available with or without a Fast Ethernet port. You can install both I/O controller

types in all Cisco 7200 series routers; however, when you install an I/O controller with a Fast Ethernet port in a Cisco 7202, the system software automatically disables the port.

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 addresses of the interface ports on the 4R port adapter in slot 6 are 6/0 through 6/3 (chassis slot 6 and interface ports 0 through 3). If the 4R port adapter were installed in port adapter slot 4, the interface addresses would be 4/0 through 4/3.

Configuring Interfaces

Following are instructions for a basic interface configuration using the configure command: enabling an interface, setting interface ring speed, and specifying IP routing. You might also need to enter other configuration subcommands depending upon the requirements for your system 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>

Use the following procedure to perform a basic configuration:

Step 1 At 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.

Step 2 Specify the first Token Ring interface to configure by entering the subcommand interface type (token

ring) and slot/interface (port adapter slot number and interface number). The example that follows is

for the first interface of the port adapter in slot 6:

Router(config)# interface tokenring 6/0

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 follows:

Router(config-if)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0

OL-3589-01

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

Cisco 7200 Series and the 4R Port Adapter

Caution Each Token Ring port must be configured for the same ring speed as the ring to which it is

connected; either 4 or 16 Mbps. If the port is set for a different speed, it will cause the ring to beacon, which effectively brings the ring down and makes it inoperable.

Note Token Ring ports operate at either 4 or 16 Mbps. The default speed for the 4R port adapter’s

Step 4 Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Step 5 Either accept the default ring speed of 4 Mbps, or enable the Token Ring interface speed for 16-Mbps

operation as follows:

Router(config-if)# ring-speed 16

Step 6 Enter any additional configuration subcommands required.

Step 7 Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 for each new interface.

Step 8 When all new interfaces are configured, press Ctrl-Z (hold the Control key down and press the Z key).

Step 9 Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory by entering the following:

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

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 1 Display the system software and hardware configuration with the show version command. Ensure that

the list includes the new interfaces and that your system is running the appropriate Cisco IOS software for your configuration.

PA-4R Half-Duplex Token Ring Port Adapter Installation and Configuration

OL-3589-01

Step 2 Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers command.

Verify that the new 4R port adapter appears in the correct slot.

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

and verify that the first 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

Cisco 7200 Series and the 4R Port Adapter

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].

Following is an example of how the show interfaces [type slot/port] command displays status information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interfaces you specify. In these examples, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and the four Token Ring interfaces (0–3) are in port adapter slot 6. (Interfaces are administratively shut down until you enable them.)

Using the ping Command

The 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 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.
