Product Numbers: VIP-FE-TX(=)
This configuration note is a standalone publication that provides instructions for installing,
configuring, and maintaining the Fast Ethernet Versatile Interface Processor (VIP-FE-TX) in your
Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers.
The VIP-FE-TX operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500
series, and requires that the host Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series router is running Cisco
Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.1(1) or later, or a Cisco-approved beta
version of Cisco IOS Release 11.1 or later.
Note The entire VIP-FE-TX card, with port adapters installed, is a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
Individual port adapters are not available as spare parts.
Included are steps for VIP-FE-TX hardware installation, and basic VIP-FE-TX configuration steps
and examples for configuring the individual interfaces on a new VIP-FE-TX.
This publication has two main sections:
Versatile Interface Processor Functions, page 3—this section discusses general VIP motherboard
features, maintenance considerations, and overall functions
FE-TX Port Adapter Functions, page 30—this section contains subsections that discuss the
FE-TX port adapter and its specific features, configuration and connection requirements, and
functions
You need only refer to the information that is specific to your FE-TX port adapter or to that which
applies to specific VIP motherboard functionality. A table of contents is included on page 2 so you
can more easily find what you need.
Note For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available
