Fast Ethernet Overview
The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection (CSMA/CD) LANs that generally conform to Ethernet specifications, including Fast Ethernet under IEEE 802.3u.
Note 100BASE-TX is intended for Environment A, and 100BASE-FX is intended for Environment B. Both are described in the IEEE 802.3u standard.
IEEE 802.3u is well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at peak data rates. Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see if it is already in use. If it is in use, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits. This process is known as half-duplex operation. A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, hear none, and transmit almost simultaneously. When simultaneous transmission occurs, both transmissions are damaged and the stations must retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff algorithms to determine when they should retransmit.
Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u are broadcast networks, which means that all stations see all transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine whether it is the intended destination and, if it is, pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing.
IEEE 802.3u specifies the following different physical layers for 100BASE-T:
•100BASE-TX—100BASE-T, half- and full-duplex over Category 5 unshielded twishted-pair (UTP), Electronics Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA)-568-compliant cable
•100BASE-FX—100BASE-T, half- and full-duplex over optical fiber
Each physical layer protocol has a name that summarizes its characteristics in the format speed/signaling method/segment length, where speed is the LAN speed in megabits per second (Mbps), signaling method is the signaling method used (either baseband or broadband), and segment length is the maximum length between stations in hundreds of meters. Therefore, 100BASE-T specifies a 100-Mbps, baseband LAN with maximum network segments.
Port Adapter Overview
The PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX single-width port adapters provide a 100-Mbps, 100BASE-T Fast Ethernet interface and support both full-duplex and half-duplex operation. Refer to the "Fast Ethernet Overview" section for additional information. Figure 1-1 shows the PA-FE-TX, and Figure 1-2 shows the PA-FE-FX.

IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-T Specifications
This section provides specifications for IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-T. Table 1-1 provides cabling specifications for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transmission over UTP and foil twisted-pair (FTP), and 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet over fiber-optic cables. It also summarizes IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX physical characteristics. (See Figure 1-3).

LEDs
The PA-FE-TX and the PA-FE-FX have an ENABLED LED, standard on all port adapters, and a bank of three status LEDs for the ports. After system initialization, the ENABLED LED lights to indicate that the PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX has been enabled for operation. (See Figure 1-4.)
Figure 1-4 LEDs on the PA-FE Port Adapter—Partial Faceplate View of PA-FE-TX
Table 1-2 lists port LED colors and indications.
Either the MII LED or the RJ-45 (or fiber) LED should be on at any one time; never both.
Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
PA-FE-TX Connectors
The Fast Ethernet port on the PA-FE-TX has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 5 foil twisted-pair (FTP) for 100BASE-TX. The MII connector permits connection through external transceivers to multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 FTP for 100BASE-T4 physical media. Only one connector can be used at a time. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The MII connection (a 40-pin, D-shell type connector) requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver.
Figure 1-5 shows the RJ-45 cable connector. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 FTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially. Table 1-4 lists the pinouts for the PA-FE-TX RJ-45 connectors.

Note Proper common-mode line terminations should be used for the unused Category 5, FTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45, 100BASE-TX port circuitry in the PA-FE-TX.
Depending on your RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts in Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-6 Straight-Through Cable Pinout—PA-FE-TX RJ-45 Connection to a Hub or Repeater
Figure 1-7 Crossover Cable Pinout—PA-FE-TX RJ-45 Connections Between Hubs and Repeaters
PA-FE-FX Connectors
The Fast Ethernet ports on the PA-FE-FX port adapter have an SC-type fiber-optic connector for 100BASE-FX, and an MII connector that permits connection through external transceivers to multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 FTP or STP for 100BASE-T4 physical media. Only one connection can be used at a time. The MII connection (a 40-pin, D-shell type connector) requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver.
Figure 1-8 shows the duplex SC connector (one required for both transmit and receive), and Figure 1-9 show the simplex SC connector (two required, one for each transmit and receive) used for PA-FE-FX optical-fiber connections. These multimode optical-fiber cables are commercially available and are not available from Cisco Systems.
Figure 1-8 PA-FE-FX Duplex SC Connector
Figure 1-9 PA-FE-FX Simplex SC Connector
MII Connection
Depending on the type of media you use between the MII connection on the port adapter and your switch or hub, the network side of your 100BASE-T transceiver should be appropriately equipped with SC-type connectors (for optical fiber), BNC connectors, and so forth. Figure 1-10 shows the pin orientation of the female MII connector on the port adapter.
The MII receptacle uses two 56 screw-type locks, called jackscrews (shown in Figure 1-10), to secure the cable or transceiver to the MII port. MII cables and transceivers have knurled thumbscrews that you fasten to the jackscrews on the PA-FE-TX MII connector. Use the jackscrews to provide strain relief for your MII cable.
Before you attach your MII transceiver to the MII receptacle on your PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX port adapter, ensure that your MII transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. "PHY Address" of the IEEE 802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that this capability is available on your MII transceiver with the transceiver vendor or in the transceiver documentation. If a selection for isolation mode is available, we recommend you use this setting (if PHY addressing is not mentioned).
Figure 1-10 PA-FE-TX or PA-FE-FX MII Connection—Receptacle
Table 1-4 lists the MII connector pinouts. MII cables are available commercially and are not available from Cisco Systems. Table 1-4 refers to MII cables used between the MII connector on the PA-FE-TX and an appropriate transceiver. The connection between this transceiver and your network can be Category 3, 4, or 5, 150-ohm FTP, or multimode optical fiber.

Identifying Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify interface addresses for the PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX in supported platforms. Interface addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface on a router or switch.
Interfaces on the PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX 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-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX installed in a VIP maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP to a different slot, the interface processor slot number changes to reflect the new interface processor slot.
The following subsections describe the interface address formats for specific platforms:
•Interface Addresses of the Catalyst 5000 Family Switches with RSM/VIP2
•Interface Addresses of Cisco 7000 Series Routers with VIP
•Interface Addresses of Cisco 7100 Series Routers
•Interface Addresses of Cisco 7301 Router
•Interface Addresses Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card
•Interface Addresses of Cisco 7401ASR Router
•Interface Addresses of Cisco 7500 Series Routers with VIP
Interface Addresses of the Catalyst 5000 Family Switches with RSM/VIP2
The interface address for a module on the Catalyst 5000 family switch with RSM/VIP2 is composed of a two-part number in the format slot/port-number. The first number identifies the slot in which the module is installed. Module slots are numbered from top to bottom starting with 1. The second number identifies the physical port number on the module. The port numbers always begin at 1 and are numbered from left to right, facing the rear of the switch. In some cases, the ports are physically identified on the module front panel. The number of additional ports (n/1, n/2, and so on) depends on the number of ports available on the module.
Interface ports maintain the same address regardless of whether other modules are installed or removed. However, when you move a module to a different slot, the first number in the address changes to reflect the new slot number. For example, on a 12-port 100BASE-TX switching module in slot 2, the address of the left port is 2/1 and the address of the right port is 2/12. If you remove the 12-port 100BASE-TX switching module from slot 2 and install it in slot 4, the addresses of those same ports become 4/1 through 4/12.
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7000 Series Routers with VIP
The Cisco 7000 series routers accepts modules installed with a Versatile Interface Processor (VIP). The interface address of the modules is composed of a three-part number in the format slot/bay/port-number. The first number identifies the slot of the router in which the VIP is installed (slot 0 through 12, depending on the number of slots in the router). These module slots are numbered from bottom to top starting with 0.
The second number identifies the bay of the VIP in which the additional module is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP.
The third number identifies the physical port number on the module. The port numbers always begin at 1 and are numbered from left to right. The number of additional ports (n/1, n/2, and so on) depends on the number of ports on the module.
Note Although the slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000 are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7010 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7000 series routers use the same method for slot and interface port numbering.
If the VIP is installed in slot 3, and the module is installed in bay 1 of the VIP and has a total of 8 ports, the interface addresses of the module are 3/1/0 through 3/1/7 (slot 3, bay 1, ports 0 through 7). If you remove the VIP with the module from slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the interface addresses become 2/1/0 through 2/1/7. I f the module was in bay 0 of the VIP, these same interface addresses would be numbered 2/0/0 through 2/0/7.
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7100 Series Routers
The interface address for a module installed on a Cisco 7100 series router is composed of a two-part number in the format slot/port-number. The first number identifies the slot of the router in which the module is installed—slot 3 on the Cisco 7120 series routers and slot 4 on the Cisco 7140 series routers.
The second number identifies the physical interface port number on the module.
For example, if the 2-port module is installed in a Cisco 7120, and therefore in slot 3, the interface address of the left port is 3/0 and the interface address of the right port is 3/1.
If you remove the module from the Cisco 7120, and install it in a Cisco 7140, and therefore slot 4, the addresses of the interface ports become 4/0 and 4/1.
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7200 Series Routers, Cisco 7200 VXR Routers, and Cisco uBR7200 Series Routers
The interface address for a module installed in Cisco 7200 series routers, Cisc 7200 VXR routers, or Cisco uBR7200 series routers is composed of a two-part number in the format slot/port-number.
In Cisco 7200 series routers, 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. (Slot 0 is reserved for the optional Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.)
The interface addresses of a 4-port module installed in slot 1 would be 1/0 through 1/3 (slot 1 and interface port 0 through port 3). If the 4-port module was installed in slot 4, these same interfaces would be numbered 4/0 through 4/3 (slot 4 and interface port 0 through port 3).
In Cisco uBR7200 series routers, slots are numbered slot 1 and slot 2 for the Cisco uBR7246 and Cisco uBR7246VXR and slot 1 for the Cisco uBR7223. (Slot 0 is always reserved for the Fast Ethernet port on the I/O controller—if present.) The individual interfaces always begin with 0. The number of additional interfaces depends on the number of interface ports on a module.
The interface addresses of a module installed in slot 2 would be 2/0 and 2/1 (slot 2 and interface ports 0 and 1). If a module is installed in slot 1, these same interface addresses would be 1/0 and 1/1 (slot 1 and interface ports 0 and 1).
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7301 Router
There is only one slot on the Cisco 7301 router that accepts modules and it is numbered as slot 1. The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format slot/port-number. For example, if a 2-port module is installed on a Cisco 7301 router, the two interface addresses would be 1/0 and 1/1 from left to right.
Interface Addresses Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-FE-TX and PA-FE-FX in the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card in Cisco 7304 routers. The interface address is made of a two-part number in the format port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.
The Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card installs into Cisco 7304 router module slots 2 through 5 (See Figure 1-30.) The port-adapter-slot-number is the Cisco 7304 router module slot number. For example, the interface address of port 0 on a PA-FE-TX, in which the Cisco 7304 PCI Port Adapter Carrier Card is installed in Cisco 7304 router module slot 3, would be numbered 3/0.
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7401ASR Router
There is only one slot on the Cisco 7401ASR router that accepts modules and it is numbered as slot 1. The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format slot/port-number. For example, if a 2-port module is installed on a Cisco 7401ASR router, the two interface addresses would be 1/0 and 1/1 from left to right.
Interface Addresses of Cisco 7500 Series Routers with VIP
The Cisco 7500 series routers accepts modules installed with a Versatile Interface Processor (VIP). The interface address of the modules is composed of a three-part number in the format slot/bay/port-number. The first number identifies the slot of the router in which the VIP is installed (slot 0 through 12, depending on the number of slots in the router). These module slots are numbered from bottom to top starting with 0.
The second number identifies the bay of the VIP in which the additional module is installed (0 or 1). The bays are numbered from left to right on the VIP.
The third number identifies the physical port number on the module. The port numbers always begin at 1 and are numbered from left to right. The number of additional ports (n/1, n/2, and so on) depends on the number of ports on the module.
Note Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7507 and the 13-slot Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7500 series routers use the same method for slot and interface port numbering.
If the VIP is installed in slot 3, and the module is installed in bay 1 of the VIP and has a total of 8 ports, the interface addresses of the module are 3/1/0 through 3/1/7 (slot 3, bay 1, ports 0 through 7). If you remove the VIP with the module from slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the interface addresses become 2/1/0 through 2/1/7. If the module was in bay 0 of the VIP, these same interface addresses would be numbered 2/0/0 through 2/0/7.
