VIP-FE-TX/4E Installation and Configuration
Product Number VIP-FE-TX/4E(=)
This configuration note is a standalone publication that provides instructions for installing,
configuring, and maintaining the Fast Ethernet/Ethernet Versatile Interface Processor
(VIP-FE-TX/4E) in your Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers.
The VIP-FE-TX/4E 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/4E assembly, 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/4E hardware installation, and basic VIP configuration steps and
examples for configuring the individual interfaces on a new VIP.
This publication has two main sections:
maintenance considerations, and overall functions
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 and 4E port adapter or that
applies to specific VIP functionality. A table of contents is included on page 2 so you can more easily
find what you need.

Versatile Interface Processor Functions
The following sections describe the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) and discuss VIP-specific
features and functions, such as installing and removing the VIP, installing and removing port
adapters, and using and configuring common VIP interface functions.
What is the VIP?
The VIP is a new interface processor for use with the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series
routers, and it installs in the interface processor slots in your Cisco 7000 series or 7500 series router.
The VIP uses a single motherboard with up to two port adapters. The VIP port adapters provide the
individual LAN, WAN, or LAN/WAN interface ports. The VIP can be removed from a chassis while
power is on and the system is operating.
Caution The VIP supports online insertion and removal (OIR), which allows you to remove and
replace a VIP without first shutting down the system. Online insertion and removal maximizes router
availability by letting you add or remove VIPs during system operation; however, the system may
indicate a hardware failure if you fail to follow proper procedures. To help avoid problems with the
installation, review the functional description in the section “Online Insertion and Removal—An
Overview” on page 13, and follow the VIP installation steps carefully.

Versatile Interface Processor Functions
Note The VIP port adapters themselves do not support OIR, nor are they FRUs.
The VIP uses a Reduced Instructions Set Computing (RISC), Mips 4600 processor for high
performance, and has an internal operating frequency of 100 megahertz (MHz) and a 50-MHz
system bus interface. The VIP has 8 megabytes (MB) of dynamic random access memory (DRAM)
as the default DRAM configuration.
Figure 1 shows a VIP-FE-TX/4E. The VIP firmware (microcode), which contains card-specific
software instructions, resides in a Flash memory device in socket location U17. For pinouts, refer to
memory modules contain the DRAM. You can install VIPs in any available interface processor slots
in your Cisco 7000 or Cisco 7500 series router.

VIP Software Prerequisites
The VIP 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 latest Cisco IOS release is available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from
ftp/[email protected]. Detailed information about the latest Cisco IOS release can be
found in the ASCII file vip1-readme, which is also available via FTP from ftp.cisco.com in the
directory /ftp/beta111_dir. This ASCII file includes information and instructions on how to get
the current Cisco IOS software images and VIP microcode. To access information located in Cisco
this publication.
VIP Hardware Prerequisites
The VIP operates with the CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series and CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series, and
operates with the optional RSP7000 and RSP7000CI RSP-based processor modules in the
Cisco 7000 series routers: Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010. The VIP will also operate with the Route
Processor (RP) and Switch Processor (SP) in the Cisco 7000 series routers. The VIP operates with
all RSP-based processor modules currently shipping in the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series
routers: Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7513.
What is the Cisco 7000 Family?
For the Cisco 7000 family of routers, which includes the Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series
routers, network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, including the VIP, which provide
a direct connection between external networks and the high-speed CxBus in the Cisco 7000 series
and the high-speed CyBus in the Cisco 7500 series.
In all systems, the remaining slots support any combination of network interface types: Ethernet
attachment unit interface (AUI), Ethernet 10BASE-T, Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX, Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM), Token Ring, multichannel applications, Fiber Distributed Data Interface
(FDDI), channel attachment, serial, or High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI), and all VIP–based
interfaces.
