VIP2 Ports
In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on
the router interface processor end. This address is composed of a three-part number in the format
interface processor slot/port-adapter/interface port, as follows:
• The first number identifies the interface processor slot in which the VIP2 is installed.
• The second number identifies the physical port adapter slot on the VIP2, and is either 0 or 1.
• The third number identifies the interface port on the HSSI port adapter, which is always
numbered as interface 0 for PA-2H.
Note Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and 13-slot Cisco 7513
are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented,
all models use the same method for slot and port numbering.
Interface ports on the VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface
processors are installed or removed. However, when you move a VIP2 to a different slot, the first
number in the address changes to reflect the new interface processor slot number.
On the VIP2, the first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter slot number is
always 1. The individual interface port numbers are always 0.
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/port adapter/interface port location
on the back of the router or by using show commands to display information about a specific
interface or all interfaces in the router.
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Ports
In the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, the address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter/interface port, as follows:
• The first number identifies the physical port adapter slot on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, and is either
0 or 1.
• The second number identifies the interface port on the HSSI port adapter, which is always
numbered as interface 0 for PA-2H.
Interface ports on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 maintain the same address regardless of whether other
interface processors are installed or removed.
On the Catalyst RSM/VIP2, the first port adapter slot number is always 0. The second port adapter
slot number is always 1. The individual interface port numbers are always 0.
You can identify interface ports by physically checking the port adapter/interface port location or by
using show commands to display information about a specific interface.
Configuring Interfaces
The following steps describe a basic configuration. Press the Return key after each step unless
otherwise noted. At any time you can exit the privileged level and return to the user level by entering
disable at the prompt as follows:
Router# disable
