Catalyst RSM/VIP2 show Commands
Caution If you are using the high-speed serial interface (HSSI) port adapter in the Catalyst 5000,
5500, 5505, or 5509 switch, you must install the port adapter on the Catalyst RSM/VIP2 (either -15
or -40) Revision 2 (board part number 73-3468-XX, where XX is the version number). Do not use
the HSSI dual-port adapter in the Catalyst 5000, 5505, or 5509 switch if you are installing it on a
Catalyst RSM/VIP2 (either -15 or -40) module that is not the Revision 2. If you fail to comply with
this restriction, your system will shut down due to an overload of the power supply.
Caution You can only have two HSSI port adapters per chassis when installed on a
Catalyst RSM/VIP2-15 or -40 module Revision 1 and used in the Catalyst 5500 switch.
