Problem with FE100 line cards on 7507 Router

Jesse Hottle · ‎03-31-2007

Hello,

I have a 7507 router currently with 2x FE100 interface cards. I need to add another FE100 card. I have an open slot in an unused VIP, but the router will not detect the VIP or the FE100 card installed on this VIP. If I move the FE100 card to another open slot on a VIP card that is currently active in the router, the FE100 card is still not detected.

Any ideas?

Hi,

as you probably know, PA-level OIR is not supported, so you have to take out the whole VIP, add.change PA, and reinsert.

Hope this helps, if so please rate post!

You say it works, but not in your chassis - it has been disabled, see above.

Is there (good) memory in it ?

I installed another 1-port FE100 card in another VIP on this router. The card is still not detected, but the other line card I have in the VIP is working fine. I have tried several different FE100 cards, which work fine in a 7206 router I have, but will not in my 7507. Why do you think this is happening and what can I do?

Not sure. PA-FE should be supported with a minimum of VIP2-15, possibly your VIP is VIP2-10 ? Have you tried both slots in the VIP2 ?
