VIP4 Overview
VIP4 and Port Adapter Compatibility
For more information on the available port adapters supported by the VIP4, refer to the Cisco Product
Catalog online, or contact a Cisco sales representative in your area. For more information on a specific
port adapter, refer to the specific port adapter installation and configuration guide. The port adapters,
including part numbers for ordering, are listed in the Cisco Port Adapter Documentation flyer. This

Note
The VIP4 does not support the PA-GE. However, the VIP4-80 supports the Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet
Interface Processor (GEIP+), an assembly consisting of a VIP4-80 with a permanently attached
dual-width Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet port adapter.
Table 5
identifies the port adapters supported by the VIP4 at the time of this writing, and
Table 6
identifies the interface processors and service adapters that are supported by the VIP4.
Note
The following table does not address which software release applies to the VIP6-80 port adapters. For
