  • Page 15 What Is the FEIP? 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 •...
  • Page 16 What Is the FEIP? Each FEIP is a fixed configuration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as Note 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.
  • Page 17 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.
  • Page 18 (PHY) and an external transceiver. Figure 12 shows the RJ-45 cable connectors. RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems, but are available from commercial cable vendors. Table 2 lists the pinouts and signals for the RJ-45 connectors.

These multimode optical-fiber cables are commercially available, and they are not available from Cisco Systems. Figure 15 1FE-FX Duplex SC Connector...
  • Page 20 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 with SC-type or ST-type connectors (for optical fiber), BNC connectors, and so forth. Figure 17 shows the pin orientation of the female MII connector on the port adapter.

  • Page 22 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: Remove the slave RSP2.
  • Page 23 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.
  • Page 24 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. RJ-45, SC, and MII cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from Note outside commercial cable vendors.

  • Page 27 Using LEDs to Check FEIP Status Using LEDs to Check FEIP Status The FEIP has four status LEDs on its faceplate that indicate status on each FE port. (See Figure 9.) Figure 22 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.
  • Page 28 Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces* If an enabled LED still fails to go on, remove the FEIP and try installing it in another Step 4 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.
  • Page 29 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.

    Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interfaces* The RJ-45 connection is the default for FEIP-2TX (or SC for FEIP-2FX). To change to an MII connection and then verify it, use the following series of commands, including the media-type configuration command: Router# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line.

  • Page 37 “If You Need More Information” on page 2. 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.
  • Page 38 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 the size of the new image before proceeding to ensure that you have sufficient available Note Flash memory for the new image.
  • Page 39 Upgrading FEIP Microcode Use the show flash command to verify that the microcode has been copied to Flash. The Step 4 output should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash (vip11-1 in the following example): Router# show flash -#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ name ..
