Introduction

This document describes the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80), an option available for use with the Cisco 7500 series and the Cisco 7000 series routers using the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). The VIP6-80 improves high-performance switching over previous generation VIPs.

The VIP6-80 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), a feature that allows you to remove and replace a VIP6-80 without first shutting down the system. However, the VIP6-80 does not support OIR of port adapters (PAs). The VIP6-80 must be removed before removing or installing the port adapter.

The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload, a feature that reloads a failed line card on the network backplane without reloading other line cards. Refer to the “Single Line Card Reload” section

on page 32 for more information.

The VIP6-80 supports any combination of LAN and WAN PAs, including Fast Ethernet, T1/E1, High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), T3/E3, T3/E3 ATM, multichannel T1/E1, multichannel T3/E3, OC-3 ATM, Packet over SONET (POS), and OC-12 ATM. For a list of supported port adapters, refer to the “Port Adapter Slots” section on page 7.

The VIP6-80 has a main processor and memory. When distributed switching is enabled on the router, the VIP6-80 can make packet switching decisions to help reduce the load on the Route Switch Processor (RSP). Interfaces located on port adapters that fit into the VIP6-80 connect the router to the external network. Either one dual-width or two single-width PAs can be used on the VIP6-80. See the “Port

Adapter Slots” section on page 7 for more information.

The VIP6-80 supports OIR. VIP6-80 PAs do not support OIR, so you must first remove the VIP6-80 before removing or installing the PAs.

The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload (SLCR), a feature which speeds recovery of a failed router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. For more information, refer to “Single Line Card Reload” section on page 32.

Microcode

ROM Monitor

There are no user-configurable jumpers on the VIP6-80.

The Cisco 7500 and Cisco 7000 series routers support downloadable microcode, which enables you to upgrade microcode versions by downloading new microcode images, storing them in system Flash memory, and instructing the system to load its image from Flash memory. You can store multiple images for an interface type, such as the VIP6-80, and, with a configuration command, instruct the system to load any one of them or the default microcode image. Although multiple microcode versions for a specific interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash memory, only one image can load at startup.

The show controllers cbus command displays the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor and the VIP6-80. The show startup-config EXEC command shows the current system instructions for loading microcode at startup.

Software and interface processor microcode images are bundled to work together. Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the software bundle. For information on upgrading software and microcode in Cisco 7500 series routers, see the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guides for the mainline software release that you are running.

The VIP6-80 read-only memory (ROM) monitor, known as Rommon, is firmware. It runs a brief set of system diagnostics, initializes the VIP6-80 hardware, and downloads a copy of the Cisco IOS image. The ROM monitor loads the Cisco IOS image from Flash memory or from a TFTP server. While multiple Cisco IOS images can be stored in RSP Flash memory, just one can be loaded at system startup.

Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80) Installation and Configuration Guide

OL-5078-01

The VIP6-80 ROM monitor functions similarly to the boot loader image on the RSP, which runs a copy of the Cisco IOS image. The boot loader image allows the router to access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system.

Port Adapter Slots

The VIP6-80 supports up to two single-width port adapters, or one dual-width port adapter. Figure 1 shows a VIP6-80 with two single-width port adapter slots. A dual-width port adapter occupies both port adapter slots (not shown).

To ensure proper airflow in the router and compliance with EMI prevention standards, a VIP6-80 with one single-width port adapter must have a blank port adapter installed in the empty port adapter slot location.

VIP6-80 does not support OIR of PAs. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the VIP6-80.

Note A VIP6-80 without at least one installed port adapter is not supported.

The VIP6-80 does not support the PA-GE.

Table 4 identifies the port adapters supported by the VIP6-80 at the time of this writing.

System Software

The Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 routers support downloadable system software and microcode for most Cisco IOS and microcode upgrades. This enables you to remotely download, store, and boot from a new image. For information on upgrading software and microcode in Cisco 7500 series routers, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guides for the mainline software release that you are running.

The Cisco IOS software images reside in Flash memory, in the form of a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Flash memory contains the default system software image and bundled microcode images. Storing the Cisco IOS images in Flash memory enables you to download and boot from upgraded Cisco IOS images remotely or from software images resident in the VIP6-80 Flash memory.

For the latest software release information, refer to the Software Advisor at

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl.

At system startup, an internal system utility scans for compatibility problems between the installed interface processor types and the bundled microcode images. The utility then decompresses the images into running dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The bundled microcode images then function the same as the EPROM images.
