Port Adapter Overview
The PA-A3-IMA (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2) is a single-width port adapter that allows the Cisco 7100 series routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisco 7200 VXR routers, Cisco 7201 router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card in the Cisco 7304 router, Cisco 7401ASR routes, Cisco 7500 series routers, and Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series routers with a FlexWAN module to support inverse multiplexing over ATM. The PA-A3-IMA supports data rates between DS1 and DS3 levels, or E1 and E3 levels, by combining the bandwidth of multiple DS1 or E1 links into groups that collectively provide higher intermediate rates. This Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)-based port adapter is available in a T1 version (PA-A3-8T1 IMA) and an E1 version (PA-A3-8E1 IMA).
Note PA-A3-8E1 IMA is not supported on Cisco 7401ASR routers.
Note To allow a full view of the port adapter faceplate detail, port adapter handles are not shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.

The PA-A3-IMA can be installed in a Cisco 7100 series router, Cisco 7200 series router, Cisco 7200 VXR router, Cisco 7201 router, Cisco 7301 router, Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card in the Cisco 7304 router, Cisco 7401ASR router, VIP for Cisco 7500 series routers, or Catalyst 6000 family FlexWAN module for the Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series routers. See the "Port Adapter Slot Locations on the Supported Platforms" section for the available slot locations.
Inverse Multiplexing over ATM Overview
Inverse multiplexing (IMA) provides a means of access to ATM networks at rates between DS1/E1 and DS3/E3 levels (1.544 Mbps/2.048 Mbps to 44.736 Mbps/34.368 Mbps) by combining the bandwidth of multiple DS1/E1 links into groups that collectively provide higher intermediate rates. These multiple links are especially desirable in networks where DS3/E3 links are scarce.
IMA breaks up the ATM cell stream and distributes the cells over the multiple physical links of an IMA group (inverse multiplexing) and then recombines the cells into a single stream at the other end of the connection. The ATM cells are distributed in a round-robin fashion over the physical links of the IMA group, demultiplexed at the receiving IMA group, and passed in their original form to the ATM layer (see Figure 1-3). Using the multiple links of an IMA group increases the logical link bandwidth to approximately the sum of the individual link rates.

LEDs
The PA-A3-IMA has ten LEDs: one bicolor alarm LED, one green ENABLED LED, and eight bicolor port status LEDs (see Figure 1-4).
Figure 1-4 PA-A3-IMA LEDs
After system initialization, the ENABLED LED goes on to indicate that the port adapter has been enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the PA-A3-IMA is enabled:
•The PA-A3-IMA is correctly connected and is receiving power.
•A valid system software image for the port adapter has been downloaded successfully.
•The system recognizes the PA-A3-IMA, a VIP with a PA-A3-IMA, or a Catalyst 6000 family switch or Cisco 7600 series Router with a FlexWAN module with a PA-A3-IMA.
If any of the above conditions are not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the ENABLED LED does not go on.
Table 1-1 lists LED colors and indications.

Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The eight DS1/E1 interface receptacles on the PA-A3-IMA are RJ-45 connectors for T1 (100 ohm) or E1 (120 ohm). All eight may be used simultaneously as ATM interfaces, or they may be used to create IMA groups.
Note After you properly connect a port to a line, it takes approximately 30 seconds for Cisco IOS software to report that the line is up.
Each connection supports T1 (100-ohm) or E1 (120-ohm) interfaces that meet T1.403 and ACCUNET TR62411 standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The DS1 ports are T1 interfaces that use foil twisted-pair (FTP) cables.
Note To meet VCCI Class II EMI requirements, you must use FTP cables.
Figure 1-5 shows the PA-A3-IMA interface cable connector. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the PA-A3-IMA," for directions on connecting the cables of an IMA group.

Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-A3-IMA in supported platforms. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on a PA-A3-IMA installed in a router maintain the same address regardless of whether other port adapters are installed or removed. However, when you move a port adapter to a different slot, the first number in the interface address changes to reflect the new port adapter slot number.
Interfaces on a PA-A3-IMA installed in a VIP or FlexWAN module maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors or modules are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP or FlexWAN module to a different slot, the interface processor or module slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor or module slot.
Note Interface ports are numbered from left to right starting with 0.
The following subsections describe the interface address formats the supported platforms:
•Cisco 7100 Series Routers Interface Addresses
•Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200VXR Series Routers Interface Addresses

Cisco 7100 Series Routers Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7120 series router, port adapters are installed in port adapter slot 3. See Figure 1-6. In the Cisco 7140 series router, port adapters are installed in port adapter slot 4. See Figure 1-7.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed on a Cisco 7120 router, the interface addresses would be 3/0 through 3/7 (port adapter slot 3, and interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). If an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed on a Cisco 7140 router, the interface addresses would be 4/0 through 4/7 (port adapter slot 4, and interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).
Cisco 7200 Series Routers and Cisco 7200VXR Series Routers Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7200 series routers and Cisco 7200 VXR routers, port adapter slots are numbered from the lower left to the upper right, beginning with slot 1 and continuing through slot 2 for the Cisco 7202, slot 4 for the Cisco 7204 and Cisco 7204VXR, and slot 6 for the Cisco 7206 and Cisco 7206VXR. Port adapters can be installed in any available port adapter slot from 1 through 6 (depending on the number of slots in the router). (Slot 0 is reserved for the I/O controller.) See Figure 1-8.
Figure 1-17 shows a PA-A3-IMA in port adapter slot 3 of the Cisco 7206 router.
Figure 1-17 PA-A3-IMA in Slot 3 of a Cisco 7206 Router
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in slot 3 of a Cisco 7200 series router (as shown in Figure 1-17 for a Cisco 7206 router), the interface addresses would be 3/0 through 3/7 (port adapter slot 3 and interfaces 0 through 7).
Cisco 7201 Router Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7201 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-9.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in a Cisco 7201 router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7.
Cisco 7301 Router Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7301 router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-10.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in a Cisco 7301 router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7.
Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7304 router, port adapters are installed in a Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card, which installs in Cisco 7304 router module slots 2 through 5. The port adapter slot number is the same as the module slot number. See Figure 1-11 and Figure 1-12.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format module-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in the Cisco 7304 PCI port adapter carrier card in Cisco 7304 router module slot 3, the interface addresses would be 3/0 through 3/7.
Cisco 7401ASR Router Interface Addresses
In the Cisco 7401ASR router, only one slot accepts port adapters and it is numbered as slot 1. See Figure 1-13.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3. For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in a Cisco 7401ASR router, the interface addresses would be 1/0 through 1/7.
Cisco 7500 Series Routers VIP Interface Addresses
In Cisco 7000 series routers and Cisco 7500 series routers, port adapters are installed on a versatile interface processor (VIP), which installs in interface processor slots 0 through 12 (depending on the number of slots in the router). The port adapter can be installed in either bay (port adapter slot 0 or 1) on the VIP. See Figure 1-14 and Figure 1-15.
The interface address for the VIP is composed of a three-part number in the format interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3.
The first number identifies the slot in which the VIP is installed (slot 0 through 12, depending on the number of slots in the router).
The second number identifies the bay (port adapter slot) on the VIP in which the port adapter is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP.
The third number identifies the physical port number (interface port number) on the port adapter. The port numbers always begin at 0 and are numbered from left to right. The number of additional ports depends on the number of ports on the port adapter. The PA-A3-IMA is an eight-port port adapter, therefore the port can be 0 through 7.
Figure 1-18 shows a PA-A3-IMA in port adapter slot 3 of the Cisco 7505 router.
Figure 1-18 PA-A3-IMA in Slot 3 of a Cisco 7505 Shown
For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1 (as shown in Figure 1-18 for a Cisco 7505 router), the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 through 3/1/7 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interfaces 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).
Note Although the processor slots in the seven-slot Cisco 7507 and 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.
Catalyst 6000 Family Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers with FlexWAN Module Interface Addresses
In Catalyst 6000 family switches and Cisco 7600 series routers, port adapters are installed in a FlexWAN module, which installs in module slots 2 through 13 (depending on the number of slots in the router). The port adapter can be installed in either bay (port adapter bay 0 or 1) on the FlexWAN module. See Figure 1-16.
The interface address is composed of a three-part number in the format module-slot-number/port-adapter-bay-number/interface-port-number. See Table 1-3.
The first number identifies the module slot of the chassis in which the FlexWAN module is installed (slot 2 through slot 3, 6, 9, or 13 depending on the number of slots in the chassis). These module slots are generally numbered from top to bottom, starting with 1. The Cisco 7609 is the exception with slots numbered right to left, starting with 1.
The second number identifies the bay of the FlexWAN module in which the port adapter is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the FlexWAN module.
The third number identifies the physical port number on the port adapter. The PA-A3-IMA is an eight-port port adapter, therefore the port can be 0 through 7.
For example, if an eight-port PA-A3-IMA is installed in the FlexWAN module, which is inserted in module slot 3, port adapter bay 0, the interface addresses would be 3/0/0 through 3/0/7 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interfaces 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). If the same port adapter is in port adapter bay 1 on the FlexWAN module, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 through 3/1/7 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interfaces 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).
Note The FlexWAN module physical port address begins with slot 0, which differs from the conventional Catalyst 6000 family port address, which begins with slot 1.
