Table 2-1
lists the recommended minimum Cisco IOS software release required to use the
Cisco PA-5EFL port adapter in supported router platforms.
Caution
To prevent system problems, the VIP2 requires that the Cisco 7000 series router has the RSP7000 and
RSP7000CI installed. The VIP2 will not operate properly with the Route Processor (RP), Switch
Processor (SP), or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) installed in the Cisco 7000 series router.
