VIP-4R/4T Installation and Configuration
Product Number VIP-4R/4T(=)
This configuration note is a standalone publication that provides instructions for installing,
configuring, and maintaining the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) in your Cisco 7000 series and
Cisco 7500 series routers.
The VIP operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series, and
requires that the host Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series router is running Cisco Internetwork
Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.1(1) or later, or a Cisco-approved beta version of
Cisco IOS Release 11.1.
Note
The entire VIP card, with port adapters installed, is a field-replaceable unit (FRU). Individual
port adapters are not available as spare parts.
Included are steps for VIP hardware installation and basic VIP configuration steps and examples for
configuring the individual interfaces on a new VIP. Also included are maintenance procedures for
upgrading user-configurable VIP components.
This publication has two main sections:
•
Versatile Interface Processor Functions, page 3—this section discusses general VIP features,
maintenance considerations, and overall functions
•
VIP Port Adapter Functions, page 29—this section contains subsections that discuss each port
adapter and its specific features, configuration and connection requirements, and functions
You need only refer to the information that is specific to your VIP port adapter configuration or that
applies to specific VIP functionality. A table of contents is included on page 2 so you can more easily
find what you need.
Note
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available
for VIP-related interfaces, and which support VIP functionality, refer to the section “If You Need
More Configuration Information.”
