Aip Installation Prerequisites - Cisco CX-AIP-TM Installation And Configuration Manual

AIP Installation Prerequisites

Before you begin this installation, review the safety and ESD-prevention guidelines in this section
to avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment. This section also provides a list of parts and
tools you will need to perform the installation.
Software Requirements
The AIP is compatible with any Cisco 7000 series router that is operating with the following system
software: Cisco IOS Release 10.0 or later.
To ensure correct operation of the E3, DS3, and TAXI AIPs, Hardware Revision 1.3 (shipped from
March 1995), the following minimum Cisco IOS release levels are required: 10.0(9), 10.2(5),
10.3(1), or later.
The show version command displays the current hardware configuration of the router, including the
system software version that is currently loaded and running. The show controller cbus command
lists all CxBus interfaces and includes the currently loaded and running microcode version for each.
You can check the version of the default ROM image by either removing the board and checking the
ROM labels, or by configuring the interface or system software to boot from ROM, restarting the
system, and using these same commands to check the running version.
Use the show version command to display the current system software version, and use the show
controller cbus command to display the microcode version of the system processor and each
interface processor. In the following example of the show version command, the running system
software is Release 10.0.

In the following example of the show controller cbus display, the running AIP microcode is
Version 170.30. Note the display of the PLIM type (4B/5B) and available bandwidth (100 Mbps).

Switch Processor 5, hardware version 11.1, microcode version 170.46
If the displays indicate that the running system software is an earlier version than Release 10.0 or
that the running system processor microcode is an earlier version than 1.2, check the contents of
Flash memory to determine if the required images are available on your system. The show flash
command displays a list of all files stored in Flash memory.
