Software and Hardware Requirements
Software and Hardware Requirements
Table 2-1 lists the minimum Cisco IOS software release required to use the PA-POS-1OC3 in supported
router or switch platforms.
Note The PA-POS-1OC3 is considered a high-bandwidth port adapter. Traffic from multiple PA-POS-1OC3
network interfaces could theoretically exceed the bandwidth of the CxBus or CyBus. This would cause
packets to be dropped.
Cisco 7200 VXR Routers
Cisco 7200 VXR routers have certain data-carrying capacity (or bandwidth) restrictions that affect the
number of high-bandwidth, medium-bandwidth, and low-bandwidth port adapters you can install. Refer
to the Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Hardware Configuration Guidelines for more information on port
adapter installation restrictions.
The PA-POS-1OC3 is supported on Cisco 7200 VXR routers with network processing services engine
NSE-1, and network processing engines NPE-400 and forward.
For all systems in which you install the PA-POS-1OC3, use the show version command to display the
current configuration of the router or switch, including the system software version that is currently
loaded and running. Use the show diag slot command to view specific information about the hardware
installed in your system.
