Introduction
This document describes the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80), an option available for use with the Cisco 7500 series and the Cisco 7000 series routers using the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI). The VIP6-80 improves high-performance switching over previous generation VIPs.
The VIP6-80 supports online insertion and removal (OIR), a feature that allows you to remove and replace a VIP6-80 without first shutting down the system. However, the VIP6-80 does not support OIR of port adapters (PAs). The VIP6-80 must be removed before removing or installing the port adapter.
The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload, a feature that reloads a failed line card on the network backplane without reloading other line cards. Refer to the "Single Line Card Reload" section for more information.
The VIP6-80 supports any combination of LAN and WAN PAs, including Fast Ethernet, T1/E1, High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), T3/E3, T3/E3 ATM, multichannel T1/E1, multichannel T3/E3, OC-3 ATM, Packet over SONET (POS), and OC-12 ATM. For a list of supported port adapters, refer to the "Port Adapter Slots" section.

Product Description
The topics discussed in this section are as follows:
•
•
The VIP6-80 is available for use as an option with the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, Cisco 7576, and the Cisco 7000 series routers. The VIP6-80 is not currently available as an upgrade to an existing VIP.
The VIP6-80 has a main processor and memory. When distributed switching is enabled on the router, the VIP6-80 can make packet switching decisions to help reduce the load on the Route Switch Processor (RSP). Interfaces located on port adapters that fit into the VIP6-80 connect the router to the external network. Either one dual-width or two single-width PAs can be used on the VIP6-80. See the "Port Adapter Slots" section for more information.
The VIP6-80 supports OIR. VIP6-80 PAs do not support OIR, so you must first remove the VIP6-80 before removing or installing the PAs.
The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload (SLCR), a feature which speeds recovery of a failed router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. For more information, refer to "Single Line Card Reload" section.
Table 1 outlines features of the VIP6-80 model.

LEDs
The VIP6-80 has LEDs; however, they are not be visible once the VIP is installed in the Cisco 7500 or the Cisco 7000 router. The port adapters that fit into the VIP do have visible LEDs. Refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide for your specific port adapter for more information.
Jumpers
There are no user-configurable jumpers on the VIP6-80.
Microcode
The Cisco 7500 and Cisco 7000 series routers support downloadable microcode, which enables you to upgrade microcode versions by downloading new microcode images, storing them in system Flash memory, and instructing the system to load its image from Flash memory. You can store multiple images for an interface type, such as the VIP6-80, and, with a configuration command, instruct the system to load any one of them or the default microcode image. Although multiple microcode versions for a specific interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash memory, only one image can load at startup.
The show controllers cbus command displays the currently loaded and running microcode version for each interface processor and the VIP6-80. The show startup-config EXEC command shows the current system instructions for loading microcode at startup.
Software and interface processor microcode images are bundled to work together. Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use the microcode included in the software bundle. For information on upgrading software and microcode in Cisco 7500 series routers, see the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guides for the mainline software release that you are running.
ROM Monitor
The VIP6-80 read-only memory (ROM) monitor, known as Rommon, is firmware. It runs a brief set of system diagnostics, initializes the VIP6-80 hardware, and downloads a copy of the Cisco IOS image. The ROM monitor loads the Cisco IOS image from Flash memory or from a TFTP server. While multiple Cisco IOS images can be stored in RSP Flash memory, just one can be loaded at system startup.
The VIP6-80 ROM monitor functions similarly to the boot loader image on the RSP, which runs a copy of the Cisco IOS image. The boot loader image allows the router to access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system.
Port Adapter Slots
The VIP6-80 supports up to two single-width port adapters, or one dual-width port adapter. Figure 1 shows a VIP6-80 with two single-width port adapter slots. A dual-width port adapter occupies both port adapter slots (not shown).
To ensure proper airflow in the router and compliance with EMI prevention standards, a VIP6-80 with one single-width port adapter must have a blank port adapter installed in the empty port adapter slot location.
VIP6-80 does not support OIR of PAs. To install or replace port adapters, first remove the VIP6-80.
Note
The VIP6-80 does not support the PA-GE.
Table 4 identifies the port adapters supported by the VIP6-80 at the time of this writing.

Specifications
The VIP6-80 physical specifications are listed in Table 5.
System Software
The Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 routers support downloadable system software and microcode for most Cisco IOS and microcode upgrades. This enables you to remotely download, store, and boot from a new image. For information on upgrading software and microcode in Cisco 7500 series routers, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guides for the mainline software release that you are running.
The Cisco IOS software images reside in Flash memory, in the form of a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Flash memory contains the default system software image and bundled microcode images. Storing the Cisco IOS images in Flash memory enables you to download and boot from upgraded Cisco IOS images remotely or from software images resident in the VIP6-80 Flash memory.
For the latest software release information, refer to the Software Advisor at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl.
At system startup, an internal system utility scans for compatibility problems between the installed interface processor types and the bundled microcode images. The utility then decompresses the images into running dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The bundled microcode images then function the same as the EPROM images.

The documentation is available online on Cisco.com, and on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Performing a Basic Configuration
After a VIP6-80 is reinstalled, the system brings online only port adapter interfaces that match the current configuration and were previously configured as up; all others require that you configure them with the configure command.
To configure the interfaces on the PAs installed on your VIP6-80, first enable the router as described below.
Step 1
Router> enablePassword:Step 2
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#):
Router#
This completes the procedure for enabling the router.
For a complete description of commands and configuration options available for your VIP6-80, refer to the configuration section of the specific port adapter installation and configuration guide and to the appropriate Cisco IOS software configuration publications. (See the "Related Documentation" section.)
Checking the VIP6-80 Installation
This section describes the procedures you can use to verify your VIP6-80 installation, and includes information on the following topics:
•
•
•
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
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

Step 5
Note
Step 6
If you replaced a VIP6-80 with a new VIP6-80 with a greater number of interfaces (for example, if you replaced a VIP6-80 with a single port adapter with a VIP6-80 with two port adapters), the system recognizes the interfaces on the previously configured port adapter but does not recognize the additional port adapter interfaces. The new interfaces remain in the shutdown state until you configure them.
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
This completes the VIP6-80 installation.
If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact TAC (see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section), or a service representative for assistance.
To configure the new interface, use the configuration section of the specific port adapter installation and configuration guide, or the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation listed in the "Related Documentation" section. The documentation is available online on Cisco.com, and on the Documentation CD-ROM.
Using show Commands to Verify the VIP6-80 Status
The following steps use show commands to verify that the new interfaces are configured and operating correctly.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.
This completes the procedure to verify that the new interfaces are properly configured, using the show commands.
Note
Using show Commands to Display Interface Information
This section describes using show commands to display interface information.
To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the interface type and interface address in the format show interfaces type interface-processor-slot- number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.
With the show interfaces command, use arguments such as the interface type and the interface address to display information about a specific interface only. The following example of the

Note
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. The ping command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that the system and VIP6-80 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the VIP6-80 interface ports. Refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section for detailed command descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60 <Return>Type escape sequence to abort.Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:!!!!!Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 msRouter#If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP6-80-related interfaces, and which commands support VIP6-80 functionality, refer to the publications listed in the "Related Documentation" section.
Maintenance Procedures
The following sections discuss maintenance procedures you might need for your VIP6-80 and port adapters:
•
Single Line Card Reload
Single Line Card Reload (SLCR) is a feature that speeds recovery of a failed router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. SLCR isolates the fault to a single Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80) or legacy interface processor card (lps), and accelerates recovery time by reloading only the faulty VIP or lps. Physical lines and routing protocols on the other line cards of the network backplane remain active. The system continues forwarding packets with minimal interruptions.
SLCR is disabled by default and needs to be manually configured. For more information on how to configure SLCR, refer to the Cisco 7500 Single Line Card Reload feature module at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120limit/120s/120s13/slcr.htm.
Upgrading VIP6-80 Memory
This section provides the guidelines and procedures for upgrading CPU memory (also called program memory) and packet memory on your VIP6-80.
To upgrade CPU memory on your VIP6-80, you must replace the SDRAM DIMM located in socket U1. To upgrade packet memory on your VIP6-80, you must replace the SDRAM DIMM located in socket U5. (See Figure 1.) The default memory configurations for the VIP6-80 are 64 MB of CPU memory and 64 MB of packet memory.
Note
Note
The following Cisco Systems memory spare and upgrade kits are compatible with the VIP6-80:
Depending on your system configuration, a memory upgrade might be required. Also, if a system problem is determined to be caused by a DIMM, a DIMM replacement might be required.
