Identifying Interface Addresses
VIP2 Interface Addresses
This section describes how to identify the interface addresses used for the PA-2CE1 on a VIP2 in
Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers.
Note
Although the processor slots in the 7-slot Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7507 and the 13-slot
Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 are vertically oriented and those in the 5-slot Cisco 7010 and
Cisco 7505 are horizontally oriented, all Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers
use the same method for slot and port numbering.
See Table 1-3 for the interface address format. The interface address is composed of a three-part number
in the format interface-processor-slot-number/port-adapter-slot-number/interface-port-number.
If the VIP2 is inserted in interface processor slot 3, then the interface addresses of the PA-2CE1 are 3/1/0
through 3/1/7 (interface processor slot 3, port adapter slot 1, and interfaces 0 through 7). If the
port adapter was in port adapter slot 0 on the VIP2, these same interface addresses would be numbered
3/0/0 through 3/0/7.
If you remove the VIP2 with the PA-2CE1 (shown in Figure 1-9) from interface processor
Note
slot 3 and install it in interface processor slot 2, the interface addresses become 2/1/0
through 2/1/7.
