Chapter 1 Overview
Identifying Interface Addresses
VIP Interface Addresses for the Cisco 7500 Series Routers
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-2FE on a VIP in
Cisco 7500 series routers.
Note
Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7507 and the thirteen-slot Cisco 7513 and Cisco
7576 are vertically oriented and those in the five-slot Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco
7500 series routers use the same method for slot and port numbering.
The interface address is composed of a three-part number in the format
interface-processor-slot
-
number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number
. See
Table 1-4
for
the interface address format.
If the VIP is inserted in interface processor slot 3, then the interface addresses of the PA-2FE are 3/1/0
or 3/1/1 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interfaces 0 or 1). If the port adapter was in
port adapter slot 0 on the VIP, these same interface addresses would be numbered 3/0/0 or 3/0/1.
