The following guidelines apply to port adapters used in the Catalyst 5000 family RSM/VIP2:
The following sections describe restrictions for the 11.2 P software.
Cisco is conducting an internal review of the build and distribution processes associated with the 40-bit IOS cryptographic products. Cisco will provide you access to the most current 40-bit encryption images, beginning with Releases 11.2 (12), 11.2(12)P, and 11.3(2) so that you can easily access the IOS 40-bit encryption capability. The following 40-bit encryption images are unavailable indefinitely: Releases 11.2(1)-11.2(11.2), 11.2(2)P-11.2(11.1)P, 11.2(1)F-11.2(4)F, and 11.3(1).
The RSM can be field-upgraded to support an optional Catalyst VIP2 module (refer to "Catalyst VIP2 Module,", for details). When you install the RSM in a Catalyst 5500, be aware that early versions of the RSM have a slot restriction. This slot restriction is only for RSMs that are upgraded with the optional Catalyst VIP2.
If you plan on upgrading RSM hardware revision 2.0 (73-2119-05) or earlier with the Catalyst VIP2, you must install the RSM in slots 3 through 8, and leave the slot immediately above it empty. You will not need to move modules between slots when upgrading the RSM with the Catalyst VIP2.
To determine the hardware revision number, refer to the section "Determining the Hardware Version,".
If you do not upgrade the RSM with the Catalyst VIP2, you can install the RSM in any slot from 2 through 12.
|
Note There are no slot dependencies for the RSM or Catalyst VIP2 in the Catalyst 5000 or Catalyst 5505 chassis. |
The RSM can be field-upgraded to support an optional Catalyst VIP2 module. You can use the RSM as a standalone interVLAN router or add a Catalyst VIP2 to provide direct external network connections through a variety of media with the same port adapters used on Cisco 7500 series routers. The RSM/VIP2 is a double-wide module that occupies two consecutive Catalyst 5000, Catalyst 5505, or Catalyst 5500 slots.
The Catalyst VIP2 is available in two models:

Feature modules describe new features supported by Release 11.2(26)P and are an update to the Cisco IOS documentation set. A feature module consists of a brief overview of the feature, benefits, configuration tasks, and a command reference. As updates, the feature modules are available online on Cisco.com or the documentation CD-ROM. The feature module information is incorporated in the next printing of the Cisco IOS documentation set.
Feature module information is located on Cisco.com at

Cisco Product Documentation: Cisco IOS Software Configuration: Cisco IOS Release 11.2: Feature Guide for Cisco IOS Release 11.2P
The Cisco IOS software documentation set consists of the Cisco IOS configuration guides, Cisco IOS command references, and several other supporting documents that are shipped with your order in electronic form on the Documentation CD-ROM—unless you specifically ordered the printed versions.
Each module in the Cisco IOS documentation set consists of two books: a configuration guide and a corresponding command reference. Chapters in a configuration guide describe protocols, configuration tasks, and Cisco IOS software functionality and contain comprehensive configuration examples. Chapters in a command reference provide complete command syntax information. You can use each configuration guide in conjunction with its corresponding command reference.
Located on Cisco.com and the Documentation CD-ROM, two master hot-linked documents provide information for the Cisco IOS software documentation set.
The documentation modules are located on Cisco.com at
