2T16S Network Processor Module for the Cisco 4000 Series Routers

Description

The 2T16S network processor module provides high-density serial interfaces for the Cisco 4000 series routers. This module has two high-speed interfaces that support full duplex T1 and E1 rates (up to 2 MB per second) and 16 low-speed interfaces. The 16 lower speed ports can be individually configured as either synchronous ports at speeds up to 128 kbps or as asynchronous ports at speeds up to 115 kbps.

For the slow-speed interfaces, both synchronous and asynchronous serial protocols are supported. For for the high-speed interfaces, only the synchronous protocols are supported. Synchronous protocols include IBM's BSC, SDLC, and HDLC. Asynchronous protocols include PPP, SLIP, and ARAP for dial-up connections using external modems.


Note Asynchronous low-speed interface functionality is first supported on the 2T16S network processor module in Cisco IOS Release 11.2(4)P. Only synchronous functionality was supported for this module in Release 11.2(3)P.

Platforms

This feature is supported on these platforms:


Note The 2T16S module is not supported on the Cisco 4000 or Cisco 4000-M.

Prerequisites

You must have at least one 2T16S network processor module installed in a Cisco 4500 or Cisco 4700 router. A maximum of two modules can be installed in one router.

Configuration Tasks

There is no new configuration information for this feature. Use the configuration tasks provided in the Cisco IOS Release 11.2 documentation set.

Configuration Example

This section provides a sample configuration for the Cisco 4500 or Cisco 4700 routers. This example shows a router equipped with two 2T16S serial network processor modules and two conventional Ethernet ports.

This router is configured for WAN aggregation using X.25, Frame Relay, PPP, and HDLC encapsulation. Serial interfaces 0, 1, 18, and 19 are the synchronous high-speed interfaces. Serial interfaces 2 through 17 and 20 through 35 are the synchronous/asynchronous low-speed interfaces.

Interface serial 18 is the first high-speed serial interface of the second 2T16S module. Remote sites on different subnets are dialing in to this interface with point-to-point and multipoint connections.
