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
on page 32 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 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 on page 7 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
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.
Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80) Installation and Configuration Guide
OL-5078-01
6
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
Note
A VIP6-80 without at least one installed port adapter is not supported.
The VIP6-80 does not support the PA-GE.

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
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.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the router interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•
•
•
•
•
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a router.
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or
to other network cabling:
•
•
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
•
•
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures.
Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•
•
•
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.
•
•
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
•
•
Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container.
Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

Guidelines for Removal and Installation
This section describes the correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures.
Note
The VIP6-80 installation is the same for each router model, except where otherwise noted.
The VIP6-80 is oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 routers, and vertically in the
Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 routers.
Follow these guidelines when removing and installing the VIP6-80:
•
Install VIP6-80s in the interface processor slots closest to the RSP slots first, and then work out to
the interface processor slots furthest from the RSP slots to ensure compliance with EMI approvals.
•
Remove or insert only one VIP at a time. Allow the system time to complete the initialization
process before removing or inserting another VIP. Disrupting the sequence can cause the system to
detect spurious hardware failures.
•
•
Remove any interface processors before removing and installing any PAs.
Handle processor modules by the carrier handles and carrier edges only; never touch the board or
•
•
•
Use the ejector levers when removing the VIP6-80 to ensure that the backplane connector pins
disconnect from the interface processor in the proper sequence. A VIP6-80 that is only partially
connected to the backplane can hang the bus.
Use the ejector levers when inserting the VIP6-80, as shown in Figure 3. Failure to do so can disrupt
the order in which the pins make contact with the VIP6-80, and may cause the system to interpret a
board failure.
Insert an interface processor filler in any unused interface processor slots to keep dust out of the
router and to maintain proper airflow through the interface processor compartment.

Removing a VIP6-80
This section describes the procedure for removing a VIP6-80.
Caution
If your router has an RSP2 as the standby with the high system availability (HSA) feature or high
availability (HA) features enabled, online insertion and removal of any interface processor in either
CyBus might cause the standby RSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity error. The
active RSP recovers from this event and issues a “cBus Complex Restart” message. Systems that are
configured with an RSP4/4+, an RSP8, or an RSP16 as the system standby are not affected and do not
experience this problem. For more information on HSA or HA, refer to your RSP installation and
configuration guide.
If your router has an RSP2 as the standby with the HSA feature or HA features enabled, perform the
following steps before proceeding with the VIP6-80 removal:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Remove the standby RSP2.
Wait 20 to 30 seconds. This time will vary depending on the number of interfaces installed on your
system.
This completes the additional steps you must perform if you have an RSP2 configured as the standby

Connecting Cables to the Port Adapter
Refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your specific port adapter for cabling
instructions.
Installing a VIP6-80
This section describes the procedure for installing a VIP6-80, or for inserting an interface filler.
Note
To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI seal for the Cisco 7500 and the Cisco
7000 series routers, install interface processors first in the interface processor slots closest to the RSP
slots, and then work out to the interface processor slots furthest from the RSP slots. Refer to the “Product
Description” section on page 3 for more information on the interface processor slots on your router.
If you removed a VIP6-80 and do not intend to replace it with another VIP in its slot, follow this
procedure to insert an interface processor filler in the empty slot.
Figure 3 shows the functional details of inserting the VIP6-80 and using the ejector levers. Figure 2
shows proper handling of the VIP6-80 during installation.
Caution
Remove or insert only one VIP6-80 at a time. Disrupting the sequence before the system has completed
verification can cause the system to detect spurious hardware failures.
Use the following procedure to install a new VIP6-80:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface, if you have not
already done so.
Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the console port (on the RSP or RSP7000) and that your
console is turned on, or that you have a reliable Telnet connection to the system.
Hold the VIP6-80 handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only, similar to
Step 4
Step 5
Place the back of the VIP6-80 in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove in the slot.
While keeping the VIP6-80 parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the back of the
Caution
Use the ejector levers when installing or removing interface processors. An interface processor that is
partially seated in the backplane might cause the system to hang and subsequently crash, and shoving or
slamming the interface processor into the slot can damage the backplane pins and board.

Step 6
Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the VIP6-80 is pushed entirely
Step 7
Step 8
Tighten both of the captive installation screws to ensure proper EMI isolation for the router.
This completes the procedure for installing a VIP6-80.
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 on page 2. 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
Step 2
At the user-level EXEC prompt, enter the enable command. The EXEC prompts you for a
privileged-level password as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
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
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
Insertion
Router#
%OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 2, interface disabled
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet2/0/0, changed state to administratively down
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
Versatile Interface Processor (VIP6-80) Installation and Configuration Guide
OL-5078-01
26
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet3/0/0, changed state to administratively down
Use the following procedure to verify that the VIP6-80 is installed correctly:
Step 1
Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the VIP6-80, while the
system reinitializes each interface, as follows:
•
If you installed a new VIP6-80, the system should recognize all new interfaces but leave them
configured as down.
•
If you replaced a VIP6-80, the system should recognize each interface and place it in the same state
(up or down) each was in when you removed the VIP6-80.
Step 2
Step 3
Verify that the enabled LED on each port adapter goes on and remains on after the reinitialization is
If the enabled LED on a port adapter fails to go on, the VIP6-80 may not be fully seated. Loosen the
captive installation screws, and firmly push both ejector levers into place until they are approximately
in the same orientation as the VIP6-80 faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the
system reinitialization, the enabled LED on the port adapter should go on and remain on. If it does,
Step 4
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the VIP6-80 and install it in another available interface
processor slot.
•
•
If the enabled LED goes on, suspect a failed backplane port in the original interface processor slot.
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the VIP6-80 PAs go on to indicate activity,
failed. Contact a service representative to report the problem and obtain further instructions.
•
•
If no LEDs on the VIP6-80 port adapters go on, suspect a faulty VIP6-80. Contact a service
representative to report the problem and obtain further instructions.
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the VIP6-80 and ensure the port adapters are firmly
installed in their port adapter slots. Remove and reinstall them accordingly.
Step 5
If the VIP6-80 is new and not a replacement, configure the new interfaces using the configuration section
of your port adapter installation and configuration guide.
Note
New interfaces are not available until you configure them.
Step 6
If the VIP6-80 is a replacement, use the show interfaces type interface-processor-slot-
number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number command or the show controllers command
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
When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each interface by observing the status LEDs, which are
described in the appropriate LED section of your port adapter installation and configuration guide.
If an interface LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the interface port, check the cable
connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector.

27
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 on page 38), 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 on page 2. 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
Use the show version command to display the system hardware configuration. Ensure that the list
includes the new interfaces.
Display all the current interface processors and their interfaces with the show controllers command.
Verify that the new VIP6-80 appears in the correct interface processor slot.
Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type interface-processor-slot-
number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number command and verify that the first line of the
display specifies the interface with the correct slot number. Also verify that the interface and line
protocol are in the correct state: up or down.
Step 4
Step 5
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the show protocols
command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove protocol routing on the system
or specific interfaces.
Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Display the
configuration stored in the RSP NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify that the
configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.
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.

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
show interfaces fastethernet command shows information specific to a VIP6-80 with a Fast Ethernet

Note
In the preceding command output, the line that begins with Controller Memory Size shows the amount
of memory installed on the VIP6-80. If you plan a memory upgrade, make a note of these indicated
memory values, then compare them after you upgrade memory to verify the upgrade.
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 on page 2 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 ms
Router#
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
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

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
64 MB of packet memory.
Note
To upgrade CPU memory to 256 MB, use any allowable combination of CPU memory and packet
memory. You do not need to have equal amounts of CPU memory and packet memory installed.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Turn off the system power and remove the VIP6-80 from the system. (Follow the steps in the “Removing
Place the VIP6-80 on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such
as a wrist strap.
Position the VIP6-80 so that the handles are away from you and the bus connectors are toward
Step 4
Step 5
Locate the DIMM and position the VIP6-80 so that you are facing the DIMM module you want to
remove.

Checking the VIP6-80 Memory Upgrade
This section describes how you would verify the memory upgrade.
•
Observe the LED states and the console display. As the system reinitializes the interfaces, the
enabled LEDs on the VIP6-80 PAs should go on. (Port adapter status LEDs might be on, depending
on your connections.) The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each
interface during its reinitialization.
•
•
Use the show diag command to verify that the system recognizes the new memory; check the line
If the system fails to boot properly, if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, or
if the show diag command output indicates an incorrect amount of memory (or no memory), check
the following:
–
Ensure that all memory devices are installed correctly. If necessary, shut down the system and
remove the VIP6-80. Check the memory devices by looking straight down on them and then at
eye level. The devices should be aligned at the same angle and the same height when properly
installed. If a memory device appears to stick out or rest in the socket at a different angle from
the others, remove the device and reinsert it; then replace the VIP6-80 and reboot the system for
another installation check.
–
–
Each DIMM socket must contain a DIMM of the correct size and speed or the system cannot
operate. To ensure this, use only memory devices that are included with Cisco Systems memory
kits.
•
If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact TAC (see the “Obtaining
Technical Assistance” section on page 38), or a service representative for assistance. Before you
call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help
solve the problem.
This completes the VIP6-80 memory upgrade verification.
