Cisco Systems PA-4R Manual De Usuario

This section provides software requirements, a list of parts and tools you will need to perform the port 
adapter installation, and safety and ESD-prevention guidelines to help you avoid injury and damage to 
the equipment during installation. Also included is information on the systems in which port adapters 
can be installed and overview information on interface specifications. 

The following sections discuss general information and information about port adapter installation 
requirements:

The 4R port adapter on a VIP2-15 or VIP2-40 installed in a Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router 
requires that the host router is running Cisco IOS Release 11.1(472) or later, Cisco IOS Release 
11.1(9)CA or later, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(1) or later, or Cisco IOS Release 11.2(6)P or later.

The 4R port adapter installed in a Cisco 7204 or Cisco 7206 requires that the host router is running Cisco 
IOS Release 11.1(472) or later, Cisco IOS Release 11.1(9)CA or later, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(1) or 
later, or Cisco IOS Release 11.2(6)P or later.

The 4R port adapter installed in a Cisco 7202, requires that the host router is running Cisco IOS 
Release 11.1(19)CC1 or later, or Cisco IOS Release 11.3(4)AA or later.

In the Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series routers, the 4R port adapter requires the following VIP2 
models: 

VIP2-15 (1 MB of SRAM, 8 MB of DRAM)

VIP2-20 (1 MB of DRAM, 16 MB of SRAM)

VIP2-40 (2 MB of SRAM, 32 MB of DRAM)

To prevent system problems, the VIP2 requires that the Cisco 7000 series router has the 7000 Series 
Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) installed. The VIP2 
will not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch 
Processor (SSP) installed in the Cisco 7000 series router.

The minimum recommended VIP2 model is a VIP2-15.
