Chapter 1 Overview
Identifying Interface Addresses
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 Interface Addresses
In Catalyst 5000 family switches, the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 can be installed in any slot except the top slots,
which contain the supervisor engine modules. The Catalyst RSM/VIP2 in a Catalyst 5000 family switch
does not use interface processor slot numbering; therefore, the slots in which it is installed are not
numbered. A port adapter can be installed into either port adapter slot 0 or slot 1 on a Catalyst
RSM/VIP2. See Figure 1-5.
The interface address is composed of a two-part number in the format
port-adapter-slot number/interface-port number. See Table 1-5. For example, if the eight-port PA-8E is
installed in a VIP in interface processor slot 1, port adapter slot 1, the interface addresses would be 1/1/0,
1/1/1, 1/1/2, 1/1/3, 1/1/4, 1/1/5, 1/1/6, and 1/1/7 (interface processor slot 1, port adapter slot 1, and
interfaces 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7).
