Interface Processor Installation and Configuration Guide

Safety Guidelines

Caution To ensure proper operation of the interface processor, and to preclude system problems, you should

use only the interface processor microcode image that is recommended for the version of Cisco IOS

software you are running (refer to the Software Advisor at

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/CompNav/Index.pl) or refer to the installation and

configuration guide for your specific interface processor at

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/cis7505/interpro/index.htm.

By default, the interface processor microcode is loaded from either onboard Flash memory (if you have

a Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7010 router with an RP) or the Flash memory card in slot0 for the Cisco 7500

series routers. The default interface processor microcode version can be found by entering the show

microcode command.

The following is a partial-display example of the show microcode command output for a second

generation channel interface processor (CIP2):
