The VIP6-80 is available for use as an option with the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX,
Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, Cisco 7576, and the Cisco 7000 series routers. The VIP6-80 is not
currently available as an upgrade to an existing VIP.
The VIP6-80 has a main processor and memory. When distributed switching is enabled on the router, the
VIP6-80 can make packet switching decisions to help reduce the load on the Route Switch Processor
(RSP). Interfaces located on port adapters that fit into the VIP6-80 connect the router to the external
network. Either one dual-width or two single-width PAs can be used on the VIP6-80. See the
Adapter Slots" section on page 7
The VIP6-80 supports OIR. VIP6-80 PAs do not support OIR, so you must first remove the VIP6-80
before removing or installing the PAs.
The VIP6-80 also supports Single Line Card Reload (SLCR), a feature which speeds recovery of a failed
router by reloading a failed line card without reloading other line cards on the network backplane. For
