PA-100VG AnyLAN Port Adapter Installation and Configuration
What Is the 100VG Port Adapter?
PA-100VG (see Figure 1) is used on the second-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2s)
for use with the Cisco 7500 series routers, and with Cisco 7000 series routers using the RSP7000.
The 100VG port adapter can also be used in Cisco 7200 series routers. There are no chassis or port
adapter slot restrictions for the 100VG port adapter. 100VG port adapters are available as spare parts
(as PA-100VG=).

100VG Port Adapter LEDs
The 100VG port adapter contains an enabled LED, standard on all port adapters, and two additional
status LEDs for the port, called the link OK
and
activity LEDs, which function as follows:
•
LINK OK—This green LED indicates the link is operational.
•
ACTIVITY—This green LED indicates there is activity on the link.
After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the 100VG port adapter has
been enabled for operation. When a port is operational and ready, its link OK LED goes on and
remains on. When a port is active, its activity LED is on when a port on the 100VG port adapter is
receiving a carrier signal from the network and normally off. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 2.)

The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:
•
The 100VG port adapter is correctly connected and receiving power
•
The VIP2 or Cisco 7200 series router contains a valid microcode version that has been
downloaded successfully
•
The bus recognizes the VIP2 attached to the backplane, or port adapter attached to the midplane
