Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether modules within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components. Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.

Port Adapter Installation Prerequisites 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. Port adapters and processor modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the

What Is the 4R Port Adapter? Token Ring Speed Considerations Before you install the 4R port adapter, determine the ring speed (4 or 16 Mbps) of each ring to be connected to the server. There is no factory default for the interface speed; you must set the speed of each interface (within the setup command facility or with the ring-speed command) before you bring the interface up and insert it into the ring with the no shutdown command. Caution Each Token Ring port must be configured for the

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter Caution To prevent interface reconfiguration requirements, you should replace a port adapter with the same type of port adapter you removed, but this is not a requirement. When only one port adapter is installed on a VIP2, a blank port adapter must fill the empty slot to allow the VIP2 and router chassis to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements, and so that air flows through the chassis properly. If you plan to install a new port a

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter Figure 10 Pulling a Port Adapter Out of a Slot (Partial Port Adapter View) Step 7 If you removed a port adapter, place it in an antistatic container for safe storage or shipment back to the factory. If you removed a blank port adapter, no special handling is required; however, store the blank port adapter for potential future use. Step 8 Remove the new port adapter from its antistatic container and position it at the opening of the slot. (See Figure 11.) Step 9

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter Attaching 4R Port Adapter Interface Cables The Token Ring ports on the 4R port adapter run at either 4- or 16 Mbps. You need one Token Ring interface cable for each 4R port adapter interface you want to use. Token Ring interface cables are not available from Cisco Systems, but are commercially available through outside cable vendors. Port adapters have a handle attached (see ), but this handle is not shown in to allow a full view of detail on the 4R port adapt

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter Configuring the 4R Interfaces The following procedures describe basic configuration information for the 4R port adapter. If you installed a new 4R port adapter or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you must enter configuration mode using the configure command. If you replaced a 4R port adapter that was previously configured, the system will recognize the new 4R interfaces and bring them up in their existing configuration. After y

VIP2 and the 4R Port Adapter For example, the addresses for the 4R interface ports on the first port adapter on a VIP2 (see ) are 3/0/0 through 3/0/3 (chassis slot 3, port adapter slot 0, and interface ports 0 through 3). If the 4R port adapter were installed in port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 3/1/0 through 3/1/3. Note If you remove the 4R-equipped VIP2 (shown in ) from chassis slot 3 and install it in slot 2, the addresses of those same ports become 2/0/0 through 2/0/
