40 Second-Generation Channel Interface Processor (CIP2) Installation and Configuration
Checking the CIP2 Installation
Checking the CIP2 Installation
After you install the CIP2 and cables, verify the installation by observing the LED states and the
console display. When the system has reinitialized all inserted interfaces, the enabled LED on the
newly inserted CIP2 should go on. The console screen will also display a message as the system
discovers each interface during its reinitialization. If you need to verify the operation of the
interfaces, refer to the section “Running CIP2 Diagnostic Tests” on page 49.
When you remove and replace interface processors, the system provides status messages on the
console screen. These messages are for information only. The following sample display shows the
events logged by the system as a CIP2 is removed from slot 1; the system makes as down the CIP2
that was removed. If the appropriate cables are connected and the no shutdown command is entered
after the CIP2 is reinserted, the system marks the interface(s) as up again.
The sample display follows:
Router#
%OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 1, interfaces disabled
Router#
%OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 1, interfaces administratively shut down
When a new CIP2 is inserted or when a CIP2 is moved to a new slot, the system recognizes the new
interface, but leaves it in an administratively shutdown state until you configure it and change the
state to up with the no shutdown command.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a new single-PCA CIP2 is
inserted in slot 3:
Router#
%OIR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 3, interfaces administratively shut down
Verify that the CIP2 is installed correctly, as follows:
Step 1 While the system reinitializes each interface, observe the messages on the console display
and verify that the system discovers the CIP2, as follows:
• If you installed a new CIP2 that occupies a slot not previously occupied by a similarly
configured CIP2, the system should recognize the new interface(s), but leave the
interface(s) configured as administratively shut down.
• If you replaced a CIP2 with a new CIP2, the system should recognize the interface(s)
and place the interface(s) in the same state (up or down) that existed before you
removed the first CIP2.
• If the systems displays an error message, or fails to recognize the CIP2, verify that the
currently running system software and microcode meet the minimum requirements
for CIP2 operation. (See the sections “CIP2 Software, Hardware, and Microcode
Prerequisites,” on page 4, and “CIP2 Microcode Overview” on page 6.) To do this, use
the show microcode command, the show controllers cbus command, or the dir slot0
command. If the Cisco IOS and microcode versions are correct, reboot the router.
Step 2 Check the enabled LED. (Refer to the state descriptions in the section “CIP2 LED
Indicators and Sequences” and Figure 12 on page 24.) If no LEDs remain on, the CIP2
has not been successfully configured by the system and will not function, or the CIP2 is
not inserted properly.
