Document Contents

This publication contains the following sections:


Note For detailed information and specifications on the Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576, refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide, available in print or on the Document CD-ROM that came with your shipment.

What is the Cisco 7513?

The Cisco 7513 is a 13-slot router that supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. Network interfaces reside on interface processors that provide a direct connection between two CyBuses in the Cisco 7513 and your external networks. The Cisco 7513 has 13 slots: interface processor slots 0 through 5, Route Switch Processor (RSP) slots 6 and 7, and interface processor slots 8 through 12.

There are bays for up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies. The chassis will operate with one power supply. While a second power supply is not required, it allows load sharing and increased system availability. The Cisco 7513 is shown in Figure 1. The three front-panel LEDs indicate system and power supply status, and LEDs on the RSP, interface processors, and power supplies indicate status.

What is the Cisco 7576?

The Cisco 7576 is an independent dual router system that supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. The Cisco 7576 consists of two independent routers on a single split backplane within the chassis footprint of a Cisco 7513 router.

Network interfaces reside on interface processors that provide a direct connection between two independent dual CyBuses in the Cisco 7576 and your external networks. The backplane of the
Cisco 7576 has 13 slots and provides two routers on a single split backplane, designated router A and router B. Router A uses interface processor slots 0 through 5 and a Route Switch Processor (RSP4) in slot 6. Router B uses interface processor slots 8 through 12 and a Route Switch Processor (RSP4) in slot 7.

There are bays for up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies. The chassis will operate with one power supply. While a second power supply is not required, it allows load sharing and increased system availability.

The Cisco 7576 (see Figure 2) is similar in most respects to the Cisco 7513. The differences between the two models are found in the backplane and the interface processor slot numbering scheme (see Figure 3) on the card cage.

Note To provide a viewable image, slot numbers 0, 1, 2, 11, and 12 are not shown in
Figure 3. The slot numbering scheme uses color coding to assist in identifying routers and CyBus assignments. Refer to "Identifying Cisco 7576 Independent Routers and CyBuses" in the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed information on the slot numbering scheme.

Upgrading a Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576

You can upgrade a Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576 with the Cisco 7576 Upgrade Kit (UPG-7513/7576=). The Cisco 7576 is similar to the Cisco 7513 except for the backplane and the interface processor slot numbering scheme located on the card cage. The upgrade kit does not include power supplies, RSPs, or interface processors. These all need to be transferred from your existing Cisco 7513 to the
Cisco 7576.

The Cisco 7576 Upgrade Kit includes:


Note The Cisco 7576 requires Cisco IOS software release 11.1(22)CC or later versions of the CC release train.

To upgrade your Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576, follow these steps:


Step 1   Refer to the Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 Unpacking Instructions to unpack the unit.

Step 2   Refer to the Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 Chassis Replacement and Upgrade Instructions to upgrade the chassis.

Step 3   Determine whether your existing Cisco 7513 uses an AC-input or DC-input power supply.

Step 4   Refer to the 1200-Watt AC-Input Power Supply Replacement Instructions or the 1200-Watt DC-Input Power Supply Replacement Instructions (depending on what type of power supply is installed in your existing Cisco 7513), to transfer the power supplies from the Cisco 7513 to the Cisco 7576.

Step 5   Reinstall RSPs and interface processors.

Caution If you are only configuring one of the two routers that make up the Cisco 7576, make sure to configure router A instead of router B. To configure router A, install an RSP in slot 6 and install interface processors only in slots 0 through 5.

Step 6   Refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide to perform installation, configuration, and troubleshooting on your new Cisco 7576 router.


Note The Cisco 7576 supports the use of both the RSP2 and RSP4. However, Cisco recommends that you operate the Cisco 7576 with RSP4s to increase the system's memory capacity. This allows for larger router tables and improved functionality.

Safety Guidelines

The following guidelines will help to ensure your safety and protect the equipment. These guidelines are not inclusive of all potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.

General Safety Precautions

The following are general precautions for any workplace:

Safety with Electricity

Follow these guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:

In addition, use the guidelines that follow when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or other network cabling:

Lifting Safely

A fully configured chassis weighs approximately 160 pounds (72.6 kilograms [kg]). Before installing the new (replacement) chassis, ensure that your site is properly prepared, so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and network connections.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic boards or components are handled improperly, can result in complete or intermittent failures. Each processor module consists of a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. EMI shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle processor modules by the metal frame or carrier only; avoid touching the board (particularly avoid touching any components, connector pins, or the metal fingers on the edge connector).

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Cable Strain Relief

If possible, position the new replacement chassis close enough to the existing system so that you can avoid having to disconnect power and interface cables. Be sure to disengage any strain relief devices before attempting to pull the cables from the port. Following are descriptions of the different methods of strain relief that are used on the AC-input and DC-input power cables and the various types of network interface cables:

When removing any cable, pull the cable out at the connector; never pull or tug on the cable itself. For detailed descriptions of the system components, refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide.

Preparing the Work Area

Although some network downtime is unavoidable while you remove the RSPs from the old chassis, and replace them in the new chassis, you can minimize the downtime by placing the old and new chassis close together. If your existing chassis is mounted in a rack and there is space in the same rack or another rack close by, we recommend that you install the new, empty chassis in the rack before moving the components. (A fully configured chassis weighs approximately 160 pounds.)

Before installing the chassis in a new rack location, ensure that routing the interface cables to the new positions will not strain or tangle them.

You can further minimize downtime by leaving interface cables attached when you move interface processors to the new chassis, provided that doing so will not strain the cables.

Leave network interface cables connected to the interface ports only if the following conditions are true:


Note If these conditions are not true, for instance, if you must remove a rack-mounted chassis before you can install the new chassis, you must disconnect all power and network interface cables.

Ensure that your new chassis allows sufficient clearance for maintenance—to remove and replace processor modules, the blower module, and interface cables at the interface processor end, and to access the internal components at the noninterface processor end.

Figure 4 shows the chassis footprint and the clearance required.


Figure 4: Chassis Footprint and Clearance Requirements for Maintenance


Tools and Parts Required

This section lists the tools and parts you will need to complete these replacement procedures. Have the necessary tools on hand so that you can complete the replacement without interruption:

Replacing or Upgrading the Chassis

The RSP is a required system component and should only be removed when the system is not operating, although power can be on to the chassis. All interface processors support online insertion and removal (OIR); however, after installing an interface processor, you must wait at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize the interfaces before installing the next interface processor. Therefore, it is more efficient to leave the power off until all components are moved into the new chassis, then start up the system and check the entire installation.

If you are installing the new chassis in an equipment rack, proceed to the next section. Otherwise, proceed to the "Moving Processor Modules from the Old Chassis to the New Chassis" section.

Replacing a Rack-Mounted Chassis

This section describes how to replace a chassis that is installed in an equipment rack. The order in which you remove the existing system, install the new chassis, and replace the components will vary depending upon the space available in the rack and in the work area.

Some rack configurations, such as an enclosed rack or a rack with a power strip that limits access, prohibit the normal installation sequence of first installing the chassis in the rack and then installing the cable-management brackets before installing the processor modules. In these situations, you can move all the components into the new chassis before installing it in the rack, but ensure that you follow the safety guidelines for lifting and working with electrical equipment that are provided in the section "Safety Guidelines" beginning on page 8.

If there is sufficient space available in the same rack (or an adjacent rack) and you have a rack-mount kit available, you can install the new (replacement) chassis before you remove the existing system. You can minimize downtime and avoid having to disconnect network interface cables by leaving the existing system operating while you install the empty replacement chassis in the rack. Also, an empty chassis is significantly lighter and easier to handle than one that is fully configured. Just ensure that both chassis, when installed, will be close enough to avoid straining the interface cables connected to the interface processors.

If you must remove the existing system to make room for the replacement chassis, or if you need the existing rack-mounting hardware to mount the new chassis, you will have to disconnect all network interface cables before removing the existing system from the rack. You can leave the system components in the old chassis until after you install the new, empty chassis in the rack.

Assess your rack and lab configuration and the equipment you have available, and then choose the appropriate replacement procedure from the following:

Removing the Existing Chassis from the Rack

Before removing the existing chassis from the rack, you must shut down the system power and disconnect the power cable and all interface cables. To help avoid problems when you install the new chassis, label all interface cables with their slot/port address and mark the positions of the chassis ears (with tape, chalk, or a marker) so that you can install the new chassis in the same position.

Two chassis ears hold the chassis in the rack (see Figure 5), but do not bear the weight of the chassis. The ears are secured to the chassis sides and to the rack posts. The chassis is supported by the two rack brackets.


Figure 5: Chassis, Rack Brackets, and Ears


We recommend that two people perform this procedure: one person should support the chassis while the other person removes the screws that secure the ears to the rack.

Warning The chassis weighs approximately 75 pounds with just the blower module and card cage installed. To prevent injury, have someone help you lift the chassis, as shown in Figure 6. To prevent damage to the air intake vent below the card cage, do not lift the chassis by grasping the handle with one hand and the bottom of the card cage with the other. Grasp the chassis as shown in Figure 6.

To remove the existing chassis from the rack, follow these steps:


Step 1   Turn off the system power and disconnect the power cable and all interface cables from the chassis.

Step 2   Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove each of the four screws (two on each side) that secure the chassis ears to the rack rails.

Step 3   Pull the chassis out of the rack and place it on the floor or a table.


Figure 6:
Lifting the Chassis


This completes the chassis removal procedure.

If you have not yet installed the new chassis in the rack, proceed to the next section.

Installing the New Chassis in the Rack

Mount the chassis in the rack before connecting any interface or power cables. If possible, install the new, empty chassis in the rack first, and then install the system components from the old chassis. To mount the chassis, install the ears on the chassis first, place the chassis in the rack, and then secure the ears to the rack rails.

We recommend that two people perform this procedure. Before lifting the chassis, ensure that your path to the rack is unobstructed.

To install the chassis in the rack, follow these steps:


Step 1   Two people are required to perform this step. With a person positioned at either side of the chassis, grasp the bottom edge of the chassis with one hand near the front and the handle on the side of the chassis with the other, as shown in Figure 6.

Step 2   Grasping the chassis as shown in Figure 6, slowly lift the chassis in unison. To prevent injury, avoid sudden twists or moves.

Step 3   With the chassis positioned so the front is closest to the rack, insert the front of the chassis into the rack between the brackets, and then slowly lower the chassis until it rests on the two bracket ledges. (See Figure 7.)


Figure 7: Sliding the Chassis into the Rack (Shown with Card Cage Assembly and Blower Installed)


Step 4   Slide the chassis back into the rack along the ledges until the ears meet the front mounting posts on both sides of the rack. (See Figure 7.)

Step 5   Secure each ear to the rack-mounting post with two 10-32 x 5/8-inch, phillips pan-head screws.

This completes the procedure for moving the chassis into the rack.

Installing the Cable-Management Bracket

The cable-management bracket attaches to the interface processor end of the chassis just above the card cage and below the blower module. (See Figure 8.) Use the bracket to keep network interface cables untangled and orderly, and to prevent cables from hindering access to interface processors in the interface processor slots.

Install the bracket before connecting network interface cables to the interface processor ports; otherwise, you will probably need to disconnect the cables to install the screws that secure the brackets. Route interface cables through the bracket as you connect them to the interface processor ports.

Tools and Equipment Required

You will need the following tools and parts to install the cable-management brackets; brackets and pan head screws are included with the chassis:

Installation Procedure

To install the cable-management bracket on the router, follow these steps:


Step 1   On the interface processor end of the chassis, locate the two slotted screws positioned below the blower module and above the card cage. (See Figure 8.)


Figure 8: Cable-Management Bracket


Step 2   Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two slotted screws approximately 1/8-inch.

Step 3   Place the bracket over the screws (see Figure 8), and slide the bracket to the right.

Step 4   Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Step 5   When installing the network interface cables, route the cables up to and through the cable-management bracket.

Route the excess cable out through either end of the bracket, coil it, and secure it to the rack using nylon cable ties, or some other mode of attachment.

It might be necessary to bundle longer cables to avoid tangling them. Do this at the cable-management bracket or at the rack, but leave enough slack in the cables to remove processor modules. Change cables as required. Also, do not block the power supply air vents with cables.

This completes the procedure for installing the cable-management bracket.

Moving Processor Modules from the Old Chassis to the New Chassis

At the interface processor end of the chassis, slots contain the processor modules. (See Figure 1.) In the Cisco 7513, the RSP occupies RSP slot 6 or 7. In the Cisco 7576, the RSP placed in slot 6 controls router A and the RSP in slot 7 controls router B. The remaining 11 slots support any combination of interface processors.


Note If you are upgrading a Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576, you need to carefully consider how you will transfer the existing RSP(s) and interface processors from the Cisco 7513 to the Cisco 7576. For example, if the existing Cisco 7513 includes two RSPs utilizing the "High System Availability" (HSA) feature, keep in mind that this configuration is not supported in the Cisco 7576. Refer to the "Port and Slot Configuration Worksheet" on page 28 for port and slot planning assistance. In addition, the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide includes detailed information on Cisco 7576 RSP and interface processor port assignments and usage.

Processor modules are keyed with guides on the backplane to prevent them from being fully inserted in the wrong slot. Empty interface processor slots contain an interface processor filler (an empty carrier) to help keep dust out of the chassis, provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and maintain proper air flow through the chassis interior.

Processor modules slide into the processor slots and connect directly to the backplane. The spring-loaded ejector levers (see Figure 9) help to ensure that the bus connector on the back of the processor module is fully seated in the backplane or fully dislodged from it. Captive installation screws at both ends of each processor module faceplate prevent the processor from pulling away from the backplane and support the EMI integrity of the system. Failure to use the ejector levers and captive installation screws could result in a partial backplane connection, which can hang the system.

If you are replacing a Cisco 7513 chassis, move the interface processors to the same slot positions in the new chassis to retain your existing configuration. When upgrading a Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576, it is not possible to retain the existing configuration. The lithium battery backup on the RSP retains the system configuration in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). Therefore, if you install interface processors in the same slot positions in the new chassis that they occupied in the old chassis, the system and the individual interfaces should come up in their previous configuration. If you install interface processors in different slots in the new chassis, the system will recognize the interfaces, but will leave them in a shutdown state until you reconfigure and enable them.


Note We recommend that you refer to the "Port and Slot Configuration Worksheet" section before you remove interface processors from the old chassis. This will ensure that you install them in the correct slots in the new chassis based on the configuration stored in NVRAM on the RSP.

Although interface processors support OIR, you must wait at least 15 seconds after inserting an interface processor before inserting the next one. To help avoid errors with the installation, leave the power off until you have moved all components into the new chassis and have verified that all of them are installed properly.

Move the interface processors first, one at a time, then move the RSPs last. Before you remove an interface processor from the existing chassis, remove the interface processor filler from the corresponding slot in the new chassis. Then immediately install the interface processor in the new chassis and secure it in the slot before removing the next interface processor filler or module. If you leave the interface cables attached to the interface processors, route the cables through the cable-management brackets immediately after you secure the interface processor in the slot to help keep the other slots clear during the installation.

If there is sufficient slack in the interface cables, and if you can easily move the processor modules between the chassis without straining the cables, leave the interface cables connected. If you must disconnect the cables, label each cable with its slot and port number before you disconnect it. Do not reconnect the interface cables until you have installed all of the components in the new chassis (it is easier to install interface processors when the slots are not impeded by cables that drop from other slots). Use the optional cable-management brackets to keep the interface cables untangled and away from other interface processor slots and ports.


Note The Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 allow you to remove and replace interface processors and RSPs while the system is powered on; however, you must shut down the system power before accessing the chassis interior for any other reason. If you intend to remove and replace an interface processor or RSP while the system is powered on, do so only when no operations are taking place that involve the RSPs NVRAM or flash memory. This includes operations involving system configuration changes, and downloading microcode images.

Figure 9: Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screws


To move the processor modules to the new chassis, follow these steps:


Step 1   Before moving any processor modules, ensure that you have met the following prerequisites (refer to the "What is the Cisco 7513?" section" or the "What is the Cisco 7576?" section for details):

Step 2   Note the slot location of the interface processor you are going to move. Before removing the interface processor, remove the interface processor filler from the corresponding slot in the new chassis. When installing interface processors in the new chassis, place them in the same slot position that they occupied in the old chassis; this will retain your existing configuration and will help avoid confusion when reconnecting cables and checking the installation.

Step 3   If necessary, disconnect any interface cables that are connected to the processor module.

Step 4   Use a screwdriver to loosen both captive installation screws on the processor module. (See Figure 9a.)

Step 5   Place your thumbs on the end of each ejector and simultaneously pull both ejectors outward, away from the carrier handle (in the opposite direction from that shown in Figure 9c) to release the processor module from the backplane.

Caution You must install the RSP in one of the slots labeled RSP (slot 6 or 7). We recommend that you place the RSP in the same slot in the new chassis that it occupied in the old one. You can install interface processors in any of the interface processor slots (the lowest slots), but we recommend that you install them in the same slot positions that they occupied in the old chassis. The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing a processor module into the wrong slot can damage the backplane and board connectors.

Note If you are upgrading a Cisco 7513 to a Cisco 7576, you need to carefully consider how you will transfer the existing RSP(s) and interface processors from the Cisco 7513 to the Cisco 7576. For example, if the existing Cisco 7513 includes two RSPs utilizing the HSA feature, keep in mind that this configuration is not supported in the Cisco 7576. Refer to the "Port and Slot Configuration Worksheet" section for port and slot planning assistance. In addition, the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide includes detailed information on Cisco 7576 RSP and interface processor port assignments and usage.

Step 6   Grasp the processor module handle with one hand and pull the processor module straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 10.) Keep the carrier at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane. Avoid touching the board or any connector pins.

Step 7   Place the processor module in the same slot position in the new chassis and align the notches along the edge of the carrier with the grooves in the slot. (See Figure 9a.)

Step 8   While keeping the carrier at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, carefully slide the carrier into the slot until the back of the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See Figure 9b.)

Do not use unnecessary force when installing processor modules. Always guide the carrier into the slot only until the carrier faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers; then use the ejector levers to complete the insertion.

Step 9   Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand to pinch each ejector, simultaneously push both ejectors inward (toward the carrier handle) until they snap into place and are at a full 90-degree orientation to the faceplate. (See Figure 9c.) The carrier ears (the ends of the faceplate) should be flush against the chassis.

Step 10   Use a screwdriver to tighten the two captive screws to prevent the processor module from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and to ensure proper EMI shielding.

Step 11   Repeat Steps 2 through 10 for the remaining interface processors.


Figure 10: Handling a Processor Module



Note Leave the interface processor filler installed in any unfilled interface processor slots.

This completes the processor module removal and replacement procedure. If you need to install the new chassis in an equipment rack, proceed to the "Installing the New Chassis in the Rack" section. Otherwise, proceed to the next section to check the installation.

Checking the Installation

To complete the replacement procedure, perform the following steps to verify that the system is functioning properly. These steps will also help you verify that all the processor modules you moved are returned to their previous state. For additional first-time startup troubleshooting procedures, refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide.

Because the lithium battery backup on the RSP retains the system configuration in NVRAM, the system and the individual interfaces should come up in their previous configuration, provided that you installed the interface processors in the same slots they occupied in the old chassis.

If, however, you installed interface processors in different slot positions in the new chassis, the system will recognize the interfaces, but will leave them in a down state until you reconfigure and enable them.

If you need technical assistance, refer to the "Cisco Connection Online" section.


Step 1   Ensure that the system power switch is off, and then reconnect the power cable to the AC receptacle or DC terminal block, as required. For the AC-input power supply, snap the cable retention clip up around the plug to secure the cable. For the DC-input power supply, reattach a new nylon cable tie to support the weight of the cable.

Step 2   Connect all interface cables to the appropriate interface processor ports. Ensure that all cables are fully seated in the ports and that all strain relief systems are engaged.

Step 3   Ensure that you have either a console terminal connected to the system console port or a port available for a Telnet session to the router.

Step 4   Turn on the system power. On the power supplies, the (AC or DC) OK LED should go on and stay on. (See Figure 11.)


Figure 11: Power Supply LEDs (AC-Input Power Supply Faceplate Shown)


If the system does not go on, check the following: If the system goes on, go to step 5.

Step 5   Verify that the normal LED on the RSP goes on and stays on. This indicates if the system software booted successfully. If the LED goes on, proceed to step 6. If it does not go on, do the following:

Step 6   When the system boot is complete, the RSP begins to initialize the interface processors. During initialization, the LEDs on each interface processor behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each interface processor goes on when initialization is completed.

Step 7   If the enabled LED on a single interface processor remains off, suspect that the interface processor has shifted out of its slot. Use the ejector levers to release the interface processor and reseat it in the backplane. (Refer to the "Moving Processor Modules from the Old Chassis to the New Chassis" section for removal and insertion steps.) Tighten both captive installation screws, and then return to Step 1.

Step 8   If an enabled LED still fails to go on after performing these steps, suspect that the specific interface processor has failed. Contact a service representative.

Step 9   Verify that the console terminal displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

Step 10   After the system initializes, enter the various show commands to display the status of the system and individual interfaces, and ensure that they are operating according to their previous configuration. (For descriptions and examples of these commands, refer to the following section, "Verifying the Installation Using show Command Descriptions and Examples.")

When the system starts up and operates successfully, the replacement procedure is complete, and you can resume normal operation.

If the system still fails to start up or operate properly, or if you isolate the cause of the problem to a failed component, contact a service representative for further assistance.


Note After you verify a successful installation, gather the old chassis and any remaining spares and parts. If the old chassis is still mounted in a rack, follow the steps in the "Removing the Existing Chassis from the Rack" section" to remove it. Place spare interface processors or interface processor fillers in the chassis slots, and move the chassis to the appropriate location for storage or shipment.

Verifying the Installation Using show Command Descriptions and Examples

This section describes the various show commands that you can use to display system status and configuration. If you installed the interface processors in the same slot locations that they occupied in the old chassis, the interfaces should retain the same configuration. If you installed the interface processors in different slot locations, the system will recognize the interfaces, but you will have to use the configure command to reconfigure and enable them.

You can check the version of the default ROM image either by 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.


Note The following examples may differ based on the router model and version of Cisco IOS software that is being used.

Enter the show version command to display the current system software version, and enter the show controllers cxbus command to display the microcode version of the RSP and each interface processor. The following is an example of the show version command.

Router> show version GS Software (RSP-K), Version 10.3(571), SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 1986-1995 by cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Wed 10-May-95 14:46 by mpo System Bootstrap, Version 4.6(1) [fc2], SOFTWARE Current date and time is Sat 1-22-1994 21:38:35 Boot date and time is Tue 12-28-1993 15:32:28 Router uptime is 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 7 minutes System restarted by reload System image file is "gs7-k.103-1", booted via tftp from 1.1.1.12 (example text omitted X.25 software, Version 2.0, NET2 and BFE compliant. Bridging software. 1 EIP controller (6 Ethernet). 1 TRIP controller (4 Token Ring). 6 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interfaces. 4 Token Ring/IEEE 802.5 interfaces. (remainder of example text omitted)

Following is an example of the show controller cbus command display. (In this example, ROM Version 1.0 is assumed because you cannot determine the ROM version with screen displays unless it is the running version.)

Router# show controllers cbus (text omitted from example)  FSIP 1, hardware version 1.0, microcode version 1.0 Interface 8 - Serial1/0, electrical interface is V.35 DTE (text omitted from example)   Interface 9 - Serial1/1, electrical interface is V.35 DTE   (remainder of displayed text omitted from example)

The command show interfaces serial slot/port displays statistics for the specific serial interface you specify by its slot/port address. If you enter this command without the type and slot/port arguments, the system will display statistics for all interfaces in the system.

Router> show int hssi 1/0 Hssi 1/0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is cxBus HIP Internet address is 1.1.1.9, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (display text omitted)

The command show configuration displays the contents of the system configuration file stored in NVRAM.

Port and Slot Configuration Worksheet

The port and slot configuration worksheet (Table 1) is used in conjunction with Figure 12 to assist in planning and documenting your use of the slots in a Cisco 7513 or Cisco 7576 router. Figure 12 shows the dual CyBus backplane without the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) connectors found on the Cisco 7576.

Cisco 7513 Slot Assignments

The dual CyBus backplane has 13 slots: interface processors are placed in slots 0 through 5 and slots 8 through 12. RSPs are placed in slots 6 and 7.

Cisco 7576 Slot Assignments

The Cisco 7576 consists of two independent routers on a single split backplane. These are designated router A and router B.
