Installation Prerequisites  
Each FEIP is a fixed configuration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as spare parts  
and are not field-replaceable or removable. The entire FEIP assembly is treated as a field-replaceable  
unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with another. Do not  
attempt to simultaneously operate 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.  
List of Parts and Tools  
You need the following tools and parts to install or upgrade an FEIP. If you need additional  
equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.  
CX-FEIP-1TX(=), CX-FEIP-2TX(=), CX-FEIP-1FX(=), or CX-FEIP-2FX(=), and at least one  
available interface processor slot in your Cisco 7000 series or Cisco 7500 series router (For  
specific compatibility requirements, refer to the section “Software and Hardware Prerequisites”  
Cables appropriate for the interfaces on your FEIP; Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5  
UTP RJ-45 cables, MII cables, or SC-type cables; these cables are available commercially. (For  
Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII  
transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE  
802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that this capability is available on  
your MII transceiver with the transceiver's vendor or in the transceiver's documentation. If a selection for  
“Isolation Mode” is available, we recommend you use this setting (if no mention is made of “PHY  
addressing”).  
Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII  
receptacles on a single FEIP interface. Each interface (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an  
MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles  
represent two physical connection options for one interface.

upgrade kits, FRUs, and spares  
Safety Guidelines  
Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that  
connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.  
Electrical Equipment Guidelines  
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:  
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency  
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.  
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis  
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.  
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.

Safety Guidelines  
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.  
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power  
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.  
Telephone Wiring Guidelines  
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone  
wiring or to other network cabling:  
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.  
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet  
locations.  
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected at the network interface.  
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.  
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are  
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures.  
Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:  
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.  
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.  
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to  
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.  
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to  
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.  
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or  
connectors.  
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding  
container; otherwise, immediately place it in a static shielding container.  
Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects  
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.  
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.  
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should  
be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Installation Prerequisites  
Guidelines for Interface Processor Installation and Removal  
This section describes mechanical functions of system components, emphasizes the importance of  
following correct procedures to avoid unnecessary board failures, and is for background only;  
You can remove and replace interface processors while the system is operating; you do not need to  
notify the software or reset the system power. This functionality enables you to add, remove, or  
replace interface processors with the system online, which provides a method that is seamless to end  
users on the network, maintains all routing information, and ensures session preservation.  
After an interface processor is reinstalled, the system brings on line only interfaces that match the  
current configuration and were previously configured as up; all others require that you configure  
them with the configure command.  
Caution The system can indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or  
insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system to complete the  
preceding tasks before removing or inserting another interface processor. Disrupting the sequence before the  
system completes its verification can cause the system to interpret hardware failures.  
Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers have ejector levers located on the ends of the  
interface processor connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejector levers and insert the  
interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which connector pins make contact with the  
backplane.  
Follow the FEIP installation and removal instructions carefully, and review the following examples  
of incorrect insertion practices and their results:  
Using the handle to force the interface processor all the way into the slot can pop the ejector  
levers out of their springs. If you then try to use the ejector levers to seat the interface processor,  
the first layer of pins (which are already mated to the card or interface processor) can disconnect  
and then remate with the backplane, which the system interprets as a board failure.  
Using the handle to force or slam the interface processor all the way into the slot can damage the  
pins on the board connectors if they are not aligned properly with the backplane.  
When using the handle (rather than the ejector levers) to seat the interface processor in the  
backplane, you might need to pull the interface processor back out and push it in again to align  
it properly. Even if the backplane pins are not damaged, the pins mating with and disconnecting  
from the card or interface processor might cause the system to interpret a board failure. Using the  
ejector levers ensures that the board connector mates with the backplane in one continuous  
movement.  
Using the handle to insert or remove an interface processor, or failing to push the ejector levers  
fully against the interface processor, can leave some (not all) of the connector pins mated to the  
card or interface processor, a state which hangs the system. Using the ejector levers and making  
sure that they are pushed fully into position ensures that all three layers of pins are mated with  
(or free from) the backplane.  
Use the ejector levers when removing an interface processor to ensure that the backplane connector  
pins disconnect from the interface processor in the sequence expected by the system. Any interface  
processor that is only partially connected to the backplane can hang the bus. Steps for correctly  
performing OIR are included with the following procedures for installing and removing the FEIP.

Microcode Overview  
The FEIP microcode (firmware) is an image that provides card-specific software instructions. A  
programmable read-only memory (PROM) device on the FEIP contains a default microcode boot  
image that assists the system in finding and loading the microcode image from the Cisco IOS  
software bundle or Flash memory. The router supports downloadable microcode, which allows you  
to upgrade microcode versions by downloading new microcode images, storing them in system  
Flash memory, and instructing the system to load its image from Flash. You can store multiple  
images for an interface type and, with a configuration command, instruct the system to load any one  
of them or the default microcode image. The microcode boot image in the PROM initializes the FEIP  
and then assists downloading the FEIP microcode image. All interfaces of the same type (FEIP, and  
so on) load the same microcode image, either from the microcode image bundled with the Cisco IOS  
software or from an image stored in system Flash. Although multiple microcode versions for a  
specific interface type can be stored concurrently in Flash, only one image can load at startup.  
The show controllers cbus command displays the currently loaded and running microcode version  
for each interface processor, and FEIP. The show startup-config EXEC command shows the current  
system instructions for loading microcode at startup.  
Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to work  
together. Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you use  
the microcode included in the software bundle. For a complete description of microcode and  
Fast Ethernet Overview  
The term Ethernet is commonly used for all carrier sense multiple access/collision detection  
(CSMA/CD), local-area networks (LANs) that generally conform to Ethernet specifications,  
including Fast Ethernet under IEEE 802.3u.  
Note 100BASE-TX is intended for Environment A, and 100BASE-FX is intended for  
Environment B.  
IEEE 802.3u is well suited to applications where a local communication medium must carry  
sporadic, occasionally heavy traffic at high peak data rates. Stations on a CSMA/CD LAN can access  
the network at any time. Before sending data, the station listens to the network to see if it is already  
in use. If it is, the station waits until the network is not in use, then transmits; this is half-duplex  
operation.  
A collision occurs when two stations listen for network traffic, hear none, and transmit very close to  
simultaneously. When this happens, both transmissions are damaged, and the stations must  
retransmit. The stations detect the collision and use backoff algorithms to determine when they  
should retransmit. Both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3u are broadcast networks, which means that all  
stations see all transmissions. Each station must examine received frames to determine if it is the  
intended destination and, if it is, to pass the frame to a higher protocol layer for processing.  
IEEE 802.3u specifies the following different physical layers for 100BASE-T:  
100BASE-TX—100BASE-T, half and full duplex over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair  
(UTP), Electronics Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association  
[EIA/TIA]-568-compliant cable  
100BASE-FX—100BASE-T, half and full duplex over optical fiber

What Is the FEIP?  
The FEIP provides up to two 100-Mbps, IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet interfaces. (Figure 8 shows a  
two-port 100BASE-TX FEIP.)  
The FEIP is available in the following fixed configurations:  
CX-FEIP-1TX(=)—FEIP with one 100BASE-TX port adapter in port adapter slot 0  
CX-FEIP-2TX(=)—FEIP with two 100BASE-TX port adapters  
CX-FEIP-1FX(=)—FEIP with one 100BASE-FX port adapter in port adapter slot 0

Figure 8  
Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP-2TX)  
Bus connector  
Microcode  
ROM U37  
DRAM  
SIMMs  
MII  
RJ-45  
Each 100BASE-TX interface has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair  
(UTP) for 100BASE-TX, and an MII connector that permits connection through external  
transceivers to multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX, or to Category 3, 4, and 5 UTP or shielded  
twisted-pair (STP) for 100BASE-T4 physical media. Each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX interface  
on an FEIP can be configured at 100 Mbps, half duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate  
bandwidth of 200 Mbps.  
Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP, we recommend that you do not operate both FE interfaces on  
an FEIP in full-duplex mode.  
For pinouts, refer to the section “FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts” on page 17. The standard  
dynamic random access memory (DRAM) size for the FEIP is 8 megabytes (MB). You can install  
FEIPs in any available interface processor slots.

What Is the FEIP?  
Note Each FEIP is a fixed configuration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as  
spare parts and are not field-replaceable or removable. The entire FEIP card is treated as a  
field-replaceable unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with  
another. Do not attempt to install 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.  
Caution To prevent system problems, we recommend that you not attempt to remove an FEIP port adapter  
and replace it with another, nor attempt to mix 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX FE port adapters on the same  
FEIP.  
Note Each of the two 100BASE-FX interfaces on the FEIP-2FX uses the MII connector like the  
FEIP-2TX, but the FEIP-2FX has an SC-type fiber-optic connector in place of the RJ-45 connector.  
Either the MII LED or the RJ-45 (or FIBER) LED should be on at any one time; never both.  
Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII  
receptacles on a single FEIP port adapter. Each port adapter (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either  
an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles  
represent two physical connection options for one port adapter.  
FEIP LEDs  
The FEIP contains the enabled LED and a bank of three status LEDs for each of the two port adapters  
(located between the two receptacles on each port adapter). After system initialization, the enabled  
LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in  
Figure 9  
LEDs on an FEIP Port Adapter (Partial Faceplate View)  
The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:  
The FEIP is correctly connected and receiving power  
The FEIP card contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded successfully  
The bus recognizes the FEIP.  
If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED  
does not go on.

FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts  
Following are the three status LEDs and an explanation of what each indicates:  
MII—On when the MII port is selected as the active port by the controller.  
Link—When the RJ-45 or SC port is active, this LED is on when the port adapter is receiving a  
carrier signal from the network. When the MII port is active, this LED is an indication of network  
activity, and it flickers on and off proportionally to this activity.  
RJ45 (or FIBER on FEIP-1FX or FEIP-2FX)—On when the RJ-45 (or FIBER) port is selected  
as the active port by the controller.  
FEIP Receptacles, Cables, and Pinouts  
The two interface receptacles on the FEIP port adapter are a single MII, 40-pin, D-shell type  
receptacle, and a single RJ-45 receptacle (or SC-type for FEIP-1FX and -2FX optical-fiber  
connections). (See the 1FE-TX port adapter in Figure 10 and the 1FE-FX port adapter in Figure 11.)  
You can use either one receptacle or the other; only one receptacle can be used at one time. Each  
connection supports IEEE 802.3u interfaces compliant with the 100BASE-X and 100BASE-T  
standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The MII connection  
requires an external physical sublayer (PHY) and an external transceiver. Cisco Systems does not  
supply Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially.  
Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII  
receptacles on a single port adapter. Each port adapter (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an  
MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles  
represent two physical connection options for one Fast Ethernet interface.

the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode  
sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45, 100BASE-TX port circuitry in  
the FEIP port adapter.

What Is the FEIP?  
Depending on the type of media you use between the MII connection on the port adapter and your  
switch or hub, the network side of your 100BASE-T transceiver should be appropriately equipped  
shows the pin orientation of the female MII connector on the port adapter.  
The MII receptacle uses 2-56 screw-type locks, called jackscrews (shown in Figure 17), to secure  
the cable or transceiver to the MII port. MII cables and transceivers have knurled thumbscrews  
(screws you can tighten with your fingers) that you fasten to the jackscrews on the FEIP MII  
connector. Use the jackscrews to provide strain relief for your MII cable. (The RJ-45 modular plug  
has strain relief functionality incorporated into the design of its standard plastic connector.)

FEIP Installation  
FEIP Installation  
The following sections describe the procedures for removing or installing an FEIP in the Cisco 7000  
series or Cisco 7500 series routers. The functionality is the same for each router model; therefore,  
the term the chassis is used except where specific model issues arise.  
The online insertion and removal function allows you to install and remove an FEIP without first  
shutting down the system; however, you must follow the instructions carefully. Failure to insert the  
FEIP properly can cause system error messages indicating a board failure. For a complete  
description of recommended guidelines for interface processor installation and removal, refer to the  
Each unused interface processor slot must contain an interface processor filler (which is an interface  
processor carrier without an interface board) to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper  
air flow through the interface processor compartment. If you are installing a new FEIP that is not a  
replacement, you must first remove the interface processor filler from an unused slot; to do so  
Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI-preventive seal for the  
Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 routers, we recommend that you first install interface processors in the  
interface processor slots closest to the RSP slots, whenever possible, then work out to the interface  
Removing an Interface Processor or Interface Processor Filler  
If you plan to replace a currently installed interface processor with an FEIP, attach an  
ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface; interface processor  
fillers do not require protection from ESD. Select an interface processor slot for the new FEIP and  
remove the interface processor or interface processor filler as follows:  
Step 1  
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws on the interface processor or  
interface processor filler. (See Figure 1.)  
Step 2  
Place your thumbs on both ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward to  
release the filler from the backplane connector (in the opposite direction from that shown  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Grasp the handle with one hand and pull the card straight out of the slot, keeping your  
backplane.  
Store the interface processor or interface processor filler for future use.  
To help prevent dust and contaminants from entering the chassis, do not leave the interface processor

FEIP Installation  
Removing an FEIP  
You need not shut down the interface or the system power when removing an FEIP or interface  
processor.  
Note In Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7513 systems, online insertion and removal of any interface processor  
in either CyBus might cause the slave RSP2 to reboot with a bus error or a processor memory parity  
error. The master RSP will recover from this event and issue a “cBus Complex Restart” message.  
Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 systems that are configured with an RSP4 as the system slave are not  
affected and will not experience this problem.  
If you have a Cisco 7507 or a Cisco 7513 with an RSP2 configured as the system slave, we strongly  
recommend that you use the following procedure to remove and replace an interface processor:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Remove the slave RSP2.  
Wait 15 seconds.  
Remove and replace the interface processor using the procedures in this publication.  
Wait 15 seconds.  
Reinsert the slave RSP2.  
If you are replacing a failed FEIP, remove the existing board first, then install the new FEIP in the  
same slot. If you are replacing a currently installed interface processor with an FEIP, remove the  
existing board first, then install the new FEIP in the same slot.

Installing an FEIP  
To remove an FEIP or interface processor, follow these steps:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.  
If you are replacing a failed FEIP, disconnect all cables from the FEIP ports; however, if  
you are only moving an FEIP to another slot, this step is not necessary.  
Step 3  
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board.  
Caution Always use the ejector levers to remove or install the FEIP. Failure to do so can cause erroneous  
system error messages indicating a board failure.  
Step 4  
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors  
outward (in the opposite direction from that show in Figure 1c) to release the FEIP from  
the backplane connector.  
Step 5  
Step 6  
Step 7  
Use the board’s handle to carefully pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand  
under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 18.) Keep the board parallel to the backplane.  
Place the removed board on an antistatic mat or foam pad, or place it in an antistatic  
container if you plan to return it to the factory.  
If the interface processor slot is to remain empty, install a filler (MAS7K-BLANK) to  
keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air flow inside the chassis. Do not  
leave the interface processor slot open. Immediately proceed to the section “Installing an  
Installing an FEIP  
The FEIP slides into the open interface processor slot and connects directly to the backplane. The  
interface processors are keyed to guide pins on the backplane, so the FEIP can be installed only in  
an interface processor slot.  
Note To ensure compliance with EMI approvals by providing a tight EMI seal for the Cisco 7507  
and Cisco 7513 routers, we recommend that you first install interface processors in the interface  
processor slots closest to the RSP slots, whenever possible, then work out to the interface processor  
slots furthest from the RSP slots.  
Figure 1 shows the functional details of inserting an interface processor and using the ejector levers.  
Figure 18 shows proper handling of an interface processor during installation.  
Caution Remove or insert only one interface processor at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the system  
to complete its discovery and initialization before removing or inserting another interface processor.  
Disrupting the sequence before the system has completed verification can cause the system to interpret  
hardware failures.  
Follow these steps to install an FEIP:  
Step 1  
Ensure that a console terminal is connected to the console port (on the RP, RSP, or  
RSP7000) and that your console is turned ON.

FEIP Installation  
Step 2  
Hold the FEIP handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to  
any connector pins.  
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only.  
Note The processor modules are oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 and  
vertically in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and the Cisco 7513.  
Step 3  
Step 4  
Place the back of the FEIP in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove  
While keeping the FEIP parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the  
back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, then stop. (See Figure 1b.)  
Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing processor modules. A module that is  
partially seated in the backplane might cause the system to hang and subsequently crash, and shoving or  
slamming the interface processor into the slot can damage the backplane pins and board.  
Step 5  
Step 6  
Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the FEIP is  
Tighten both of the captive installation screws.  
Caution To ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolation for the chassis, make certain to  
tighten the captive installation screws on each FEIP immediately after you install it and before proceeding  
with the installation of each remaining FEIP or other interface processor.  
Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables  
The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one port  
adapter. Each FEIP has one or two port adapters. On a single port adapter, you can use either the  
RJ-45 (or SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection or the MII connection. You can use the RJ-45 (or  
SC for FEIP-1FX or -2FX) connection on one port adapter and the MII connection on the other.  
Note RJ-45, SC, and MII cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from  
outside commercial cable vendors.

Attaching Fast Ethernet Interface Cables  
Connect RJ-45, SC (FEIP-1FX or -2FX), or MII cables as follows:  
Step 1  
If you have MII connections, attach an MII cable directly to the MII port on the FEIP or  
attach a 100BASE-T transceiver, with the media appropriate to your application, to the  
Caution Before you attach an MII transceiver to an MII receptacle on your FEIP, ensure that your MII  
transceiver responds to physical sublayer (PHY) address 0 per section 22.2.4.4. “PHY Address” of the IEEE  
802.3u specification; otherwise, interface problems might result. Confirm that this capability is available on  
your MII transceiver with the transceiver's vendor or in the transceiver's documentation. If a selection for  
“Isolation Mode” is available, we recommend you use this setting (if no mention is made of “PHY  
addressing”).  
If you have RJ-45 connections, attach the Category 5 UTP cable directly to one of the  
RJ-45 ports on the FEIP. (See Figure 19 for FEIP-2TX or Figure 20 for FEIP-2FX.) The  
FEIP is an end station device and not a repeater. You must connect the port adapter to a  
repeater or hub.  
If you have an SC connection (FEIP-1FX or -2FX), attach a cable directly to the SC port  
on one of the port adapters. (See Figure 20.) Use either one duplex SC connector, or two  
simplex SC connectors, and observe the correct relationship between the receive (RX)  
and transmit (TX) ports on the port adapter and your repeater.

For the 100BASE-TX RJ-45 connections, attach the ferrite bead to the RJ-45 cable (at  
either end), as shown in Figure 21.  
Caution The ferrite bead prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the  
100BASE-TX-equipped system and is a required component for proper system operation.

Caution To prevent problems on your FEIP and network, do not simultaneously connect RJ-45 (or SC) and  
MII cables to one port adapter. On a single port adapter, only one network connection can be used at one time.  
Only connect cables that comply with EIA/TIA-568 standards. (Refer to Table 1 for cable recommendations  
and specifications.)  
Step 3  
Attach the network end of your RJ-45 (or SC) or MII cable to your 100BASE-T  
transceiver, switch, hub, repeater, DTE, or other external 100BASE-T equipment.  
Step 4  
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the second port adapter as required.  
This completes the FEIP cable installation.

LEDs (Partial Faceplate View of FEIP)  
After you connect cables, observe the LED states and the console display as the router initializes.  
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. (For  
The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers each interface during its  
reinitialization. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP is  
enabled for operation.  
The following conditions must be met before the FEIP is enabled:  
The interface processor is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power.  
The system bus recognizes the interface processor.  
A valid version of microcode is loaded and running.  
If any of these conditions is not met, the enabled LED does not go on.  
Verify that the FEIP is connected correctly as follows:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Step 3  
While the system reinitializes each interface, observe the console display messages and  
verify that the system discovers the FEIP. The system should recognize the FEIP’s  
interfaces but leaves them configured as down.  
When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on each FEIP port  
LED does not stay on, proceed to the next step.  
If an enabled LED fails to go on, suspect the that the FEIP board connector is not fully  
seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, then firmly push the top  
ejector down while pushing the bottom ejector up until both are parallel to the FEIP  
faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the  
interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. If the enabled LED goes on,

Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*  
Step 4  
If an enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the FEIP and try installing it in another  
available interface processor slot.  
If the enabled LED goes on when the FEIP is installed in the new slot, suspect a failed  
backplane port in the original interface processor slot.  
If the enabled LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the FEIP go on to indicate  
activity, proceed to Step 5 to resume the installation checkout and suspect that the enabled  
LED on the FEIP has failed.  
If no LEDs on the FEIP go on, suspect that the FEIP is faulty.  
If the enabled LED still does not go on, do not proceed with the installation. Contact a  
service representative to report the faulty equipment and obtain further instructions.  
Step 5  
Use the show interfaces or show controllers cbus command to verify the status of the  
FEIP’s interfaces. (If the interfaces are not configured, you must configure them using the  
If an error message displays on the console terminal, refer to the appropriate reference publication  
for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact  
a service representative for assistance.  
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces*  
If you installed a new FEIP or if you want to change the configuration of an existing interface, you  
must enter configuration mode using the configuration command. If you replaced an interface that  
was previously configured, the system recognizes the new interface and bring it up in its existing  
configuration.  
After you verify that the new FEIP is installed correctly (the enabled LED on each port adapter goes  
on), use the privileged-level configure command to configure the new interfaces. Be prepared with  
the information you need, such as the following:  
Protocols you plan to route on each new interface  
Internet protocol (IP) addresses if you plan to configure the interfaces for IP routing  
Whether the new interfaces will use bridging  
For a summary of the configuration options available and instructions for configuring the interfaces  
The configure command requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which  
usually requires a password. Contact your system administrator if necessary to obtain EXEC-level  
access.  
Each 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX interface on an FEIP can be configured at 100 Mbps, half  
duplex or full duplex, for a maximum aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps.  
Caution To prevent oversubscribing the FEIP, we recommend that you do not operate both interfaces on an  
FEIP in full-duplex mode.

Selecting Interface Processor Slot, Interface, and Interface Port Numbers  
Selecting Interface Processor Slot, Interface, and Interface Port Numbers  
This section describes how to identify interface processor slot, interface, and interface port numbers.  
Although the interface processor slots in the Cisco 7000, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513 are vertically  
oriented and those in the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all models use the  
same method for slot and port numbering.  
In the router, physical port addresses specify the actual physical location of each interface port on  
the router interface processor end. (See the example of an FEIP-2TX shown in Figure 23.) This  
address is composed of a three-part number in the format interface processor slot number/adapter  
number/interface port number.  
The first number identifies the chassis interface processor slot in which the FEIP is installed (as  
The second number identifies the physical interface on the FEIP and is slot 0 (on the left) and slot  
1 (on the right).  
The third number identifies the interface port, which is always numbered as interface 0.  
Interface ports on the FEIP maintain the same address regardless of whether other interface  
processors are installed or removed. However, when you move an FEIP to a different slot, the first  
number in the address changes to reflect the new interface processor slot number.  
Figure 23 shows the interface processor slots and interface ports of a sample Cisco 7505 system. On  
the FEIP-2TX, the first interface number is 0 and the second is 1. For example, on the FEIP in slot 3  
(shown in Figure 23), the address of the left (first) interface is 3/0/0 (interface processor slot 3,  
interface 0, and interface port 0). The address of the right (second) interface is 3/1/0 (interface  
processor slot 3, interface 1, and interface port 0).  
If you remove the FEIP-2TX from slot 3 and install it in interface processor slot 2, the addresses of  
these interfaces become 2/0/0 and 2/1/0.

You can identify interface ports by physically checking the slot/adapter/interface port location on the  
back of the router or by using software commands to display information about a specific interface  
or all interfaces in the router.

Configuring Interfaces—Descriptions and Examples  
This section describes 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  
Router>  
Following is a basic configuration procedure:  
Step 1  
Step 2  
At the privileged-level prompt, enter configuration mode and specify that the console  
terminal is the source of the configuration subcommands, as follows:  
Router# configure terminal  
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  
Router(config)#  
At the prompt, specify the first interface to configure by entering the subcommand  
interface, followed by the type (fastethernet) and slot/port (interface processor slot  
number/0). The example that follows is for the interface port of the first interface port, on  
an FEIP in interface processor slot 1:  
Router(config)# interface fa 1/0/0  
Step 3  
If IP routing is enabled on the system, you can assign an IP address and subnet mask to  
the interface with the ip address configuration subcommand, as in the following  
example:  
Router(config-int)# ip address 1.1.1.10 255.255.255.0  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Add any additional configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and  
set the interface characteristics.  
Change the shutdown state to up and enable the interface as follows:  
Router(config-int)# no shutdown  
Step 6  
Step 7  
Configure additional interfaces as required.  
When you have included all of the configuration subcommands to complete the  
configuration, press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.  
Step 8  
Write the new configuration to nonvolatile memory as follows:  
Router# copy running-config startup-config  
[OK]

Following are descriptions and examples of the commands for configuring interface 3/0/0.  
Descriptions are limited to fields that are relevant for establishing and verifying the configuration.  
After configuring the new interface, use show commands to display the status of the new interface  
or all interfaces, or to verify changes you have made.  
Depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on  
the interface, you might also need to enter other configuration subcommands. For complete  
descriptions of configuration subcommands and the configuration options available for interfaces,

cbus command. Verify that the new FEIP appears in the correct slot.  
Specify one of the new interfaces with the show interfaces type slot/adapter/interface  
command and verify that the first line of the display specifies the interface with the correct  
slot number. Also verify that the interface and line protocol are in the correct state: up or  
down.  
Step 4  
Step 5  
Display the protocols configured for the entire system and specific interfaces with the  
show protocols command. If necessary, return to configuration mode to add or remove  
protocol routing on the system or specific interfaces.  
Display the running configuration file with the show running-config command. Display  
the configuration stored in NVRAM using the show startup-config command. Verify  
that the configuration is accurate for the system and each interface.  
If the interface is down and you configured it as up, or if the displays indicate that the hardware is  
not functioning properly, ensure that the network interface is properly connected and terminated. If  
you still have problems bringing the interface up, contact a service representative for assistance.

Checking the Configuration  
Using show Commands to Display Interface Information  
To display information about a specific interface, use the show interfaces command with the  
interface type and port address in the format show interfaces [type slot/adapter/port].  
Following is a partial-display example of how the show interfaces command displays status  
information (including the physical slot and port address) for the interface you specify. In this  
example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted, and an FEIP in interface  
processor slot 3 is shown:  
Router# sh int fastethernet 2/0/0  
FastEthernet2/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down  
Hardware is cyBus FastEthernet Interface, address is 0000.0ca5.2380 (bia 0000)  
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255  
Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec), hdx, 100BaseTX  
(additional displayed text omitted from this example)  
With the show interfaces [type slot/adapter/port] command, use arguments such as the interface  
type (fastethernet, and so forth) and the port number (slot/port) to display information about a  
specific interface only, as in the following example of the show interfaces fastethernet command,  
which shows information specific to the first interface on an FEIP in interface processor slot 2:  
Router# show interfaces fastethernet 2/0/0  
FastEthernet2/0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down  
Hardware is cyBus FastEthernet Interface, address is 0000.0ca5.2380 (bia 0000)

Upgrading FEIP Microcode  
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity  
The packet internet groper (ping) command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning  
properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on  
the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the  
system and FEIP have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify  
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify.  
After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo  
the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal;  
each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of  
exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages  
[timed out] or [failed] indicate that the connection failed.  
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:  
Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return>  
Type escape sequence to abort.  
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:  
!!!!!  
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms  
Router#  
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and  
that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.  
For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for  
FEIP-related interfaces, and which support FEIP functionality, refer to the publications listed in the  
Upgrading FEIP Microcode  
The Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers support downloadable microcode, which allows  
you to upgrade microcode versions over the network. You can download new microcode versions  
and store multiple versions in Flash memory, and you can then boot from them just as you can with  
the system software images. System software upgrades might also contain upgraded microcode  
images, which load automatically when the new software image is loaded (unless the configuration  
states otherwise).  
Note Software and interface processor microcode images are carefully optimized and bundled to  
work together. Overriding the bundle can result in system incompatibilities. We recommend that you  
use the microcode included in the software bundle.  
You can download microcode to Flash memory by copying the TFTP image of a microcode version  
to Flash memory. When the microcode image is stored in Flash memory, you have to configure the  
router to use that image via the microcode vip2 flash command, then you can use the  
microcode reload command to manually load the new microcode file. You can then use the  
configure command to instruct the system to load the new image automatically at each system boot.  
Note The appropriate microcode image runs from dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) on  
the FEIP.

Upgrading FEIP Microcode  
To compare the size of the microcode image and the amount of Flash memory available, you must  
know the size of the new microcode image. The image size is specified in the README file that is  
included on the floppy disk with the new image.  
Note Note the size of the new image before proceeding to ensure that you have sufficient available  
Flash memory for the new image.  
Caution Before you copy a file to system Flash memory, be sure there is ample space available in Flash  
memory. Compare the size of the file you want to copy to the amount of available Flash memory shown. If  
the space available is less than the space required by the file you want to copy, the copy process continues,  
but the entire file is not be copied into Flash memory.  
Follow these steps to download (copy) a microcode version from a TFTP server to Flash memory:  
Step 1  
To display the total amount of Flash memory present, its location, any files that currently  
exist in Flash memory and their size, and the amount of Flash memory remaining, use the  
show flash command. Following is an example of the output that is displayed:  
Router# show flash  
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name  
1
2
\ FFFFFFFF B4A18E0B 3F6494 30

111518 Jun 29 1994 11:05:57 image/file/2  
12044568 bytes available (8533736 bytes used)  
Step 2  
Compare the amount of available Flash memory (last line in the preceding example) to  
the size of the new microcode image on the floppy disk. If you attempt to copy in a new  
image, and the size of the new image exceeds the available space in Flash, only part of  
the new image is copied, and the following error message is displayed:  
buffer overflow - xxxx/xxxx  
where xxxx/xxxx is the number of bytes read in/number of bytes available.  
Step 3  
After you verify that there is sufficient space available in Flash memory for the new  
image, use the command copy tftp:filename [ flash | slot0 | slot1 ]:filename to copy an  
image to Flash memory. (tftp:filename is the file’s source and [flash | slot0 | slot1]:  
filename is the destination in onboard Flash memory or on either of the Flash memory  
cards.)  
An example of the copy tftp:filename command follows:  
Router# copy tftp:vip11-1 slot0:vip11-1  
20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm]  
Address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]?

Step 4  
Use the show flash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash. The  
output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash (vip11-1 in the  
following example):

7646052 bytes available (16179788 bytes used)  
Step 5  
To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate  
commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter configuration  
mode by issuing the configure terminal command, as follows:  
Router# config t  
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  
Router(config)#  
Step 6  
Specify that you are changing the microcode for the FEIP (microcode vip2), and that it is  
to load from Flash memory (flash slot0 or slot1). Then add the filename of the new  
microcode image to be loaded from Flash:  
Router(config)# microcode vip2 flash slot0:vip11-1  
Step 7  
Step 8  
To exit configuration mode, press Ctrl-Z.  
Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):  
Router# copy running-config startup-config  
The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running configuration.  
The new FEIP microcode image is loaded automatically the next time the system boots  
or reinitializes.  
Step 9  
To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload  
configuration command (you must be in configuration mode to enter this command):  
Router# config t  
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  
Router(config)# microcode reload  
Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the  
system reloads all microcode. configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is  
complete, press Ctrl-Z to exit from configuration mode and return to the system prompt.  
Step 10 To verify that the FEIP is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-config or  
show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running  
microcode version for each interface processor.  
Router# show controllers cbus  
This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
