Verifying the Installation
This section describes how to verify the VIP6-80 installation by observing the port adapter LED states
and the information displayed on your console terminal.
Note
The VIP6-80 has no LEDs that are visible or usable when the VIP6-80 is installed. The port adapters you
install on the VIP6-80 have status and interface LEDs.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the VIP6-80 port adapters should
go on, depending on your connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as
the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a VIP6-80 with a Gigabit
Ethernet port adapter was removed from interface processor slot 2; the system then reinitialized the
remaining interface processors and marked as
down
the Gigabit Ethernet interface on the VIP6-80 that
was removed from slot 2. When you reinsert the VIP6-80, the system automatically brings up the
interfaces that were up when the VIP6-80 was removed. (A Gigabit Ethernet interface is used in the
following examples.)
Removal
Router#
%OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 2, interface disabled
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/0, changed state to administratively down
Insertion
Router#
%OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 2, interface administratively shut down
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/0, changed state to up
Note
When a new VIP6-80 is inserted or when a VIP6-80 is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the
new interfaces but leaves them in the
shutdown
state until you configure them and change their state to
up
.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as you insert a
new
VIP6-80 in
interface processor slot 3. (A Gigabit Ethernet interface is used in the following example.)
Router#
%OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3, interface administratively shut down
