The ATM interface processor (AIP) provides a single ATM network interface for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers. The AIP provides a direct connection between the high-speed Cisco Extended Bus (CxBus and CyBus) and external ATM networks. A physical layer interface module (PLIM) on the AIP determines the type of ATM connection. There are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; you can install an AIP in any available interface processor slot.

The CIP provides up to two channel-attached interfaces for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers, eliminating the need for a separate front-end processor.
The CIP interfaces are combinations of a bus and tag (also called an original equipment manufacturer's interface [OEMI] and a parallel I/O interface) adapter and an Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) adapter.

The bus and tag adapter is called the Parallel Channel Adapter (PCA), and the ESCON adapter is called the ESCON Channel Adapter (ECA). The PCA and ECA connect directly to the CIP, and any combination of the two adapters can be used.

The CIP2 provides up to two channel interfaces for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers; in some situations, this can eliminate the need for a separate front-end processor (FEP). The CIP2 contains combinations of a bus and tag (also called an original equipment manufacturer's interface [OEMI] and a parallel I/O interface) adapter and an Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) adapter. The bus and tag adapter is called the Parallel Channel Adapter (PCA), and the ESCON adapter is called the ESCON Channel Adapter (ECA). The PCA and ECA connect directly to the CIP2, and all combinations of the two adapters are available.

Dynamic Packet Transport Interface Processors - End Of Sale



The DPT Interface Processor (DPTIP) is a dual-width OC-12c interface processor based on VIP2 technology that provides shared IP over SONET capability in Cisco 7500 series routers. The DPTIP is available in four models:

SRPIP-OC12MM (multimode fiber)
SRPIP-OC12SMI (single-mode fiber, intermediate reach)
SRPIP-OC12SML (single-mode fiber, long reach)
SRPIP-OC12SMX (single-mode fiber, extended reach)

The DPTIP provides Cisco 7500 series routers with two SC duplex ports. Each SC duplex port provides the physical connection to an adjacent device in a DPT ring.
The DPTIP is designed to be deployed in SONET OC-12 DPT rings. DPT rings can also be connected to SONET Add Drop Multiplexers (ADMs), thus allowing for the creation of small, or very large DPT rings.

CX-HIP



The HIP provides a single HSSI network interface for Cisco 7000 series and Cisco 7500 series routers. Network interfaces reside on modular interface processors, which provide a direct connection between the high-speed CxBus and CyBuses and the external networks. All interface processors support online insertion and removal (OIR), which allows you to remove or install interface processors without opening the chassis or shutting down the system.

The TRIP provides two or four Token Ring ports for interconnection with IEEE 802.5 and IBM Token Ring media. The TRIP uses the IBM 16/4-Mbps chipset with an imbedded performance enhanced interface driver and 16.7 MHz bit slice processor for high speed processing. The speed on each port is set independently with a software command for either 4 or 16 Mbps. The TRIP and all other interface processors support online insertion and removal (OIR), which allows you to remove and install a TRIP while the system is operating, without shutting down system power.

GEIP / GEIP+

Product Numbers: GEIP



Product Numbers: GEIP+



The GEIP is a single-port, fixed-configuration interface processor that, when combined with the appropriate optical fiber cable, provides one 1000-Mbps, IEEE 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface. The GE interface on a GEIP operates in full-duplex mode at 1000 Mbps in each direction—transmit (TX) and receive (RX).

The GEIP+ is a single-port interface processor that, when combined with the appropriate optical fiber cable and a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC), provides one Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface that is compliant with the IEEE 802.3z specification. The GE interface on a GEIP+ operates in full-duplex mode.

Ethernet Interface Processor - End Of Sale

Product Numbers: CX-EIP2, CX-EIP4, and CX-EIP6



The Ethernet interface processor (EIP) provides two, four, or six high-speed AUI (10 Mbps) ports; The above figure shows a six-port EIP. Each port supports both Ethernet Version 1 and IEEE 802.3/Ethernet Version 2 interfaces. A 16-million-instructions-per-second (mips) bit-slice processor provides a high-speed data path between the EIP and other interface processors. The EIP firmware (microcode), which contains card-specific software instructions, resides in a ROM in socket U101.
