Section C-4. Catalyst 6000 FlexWAN Module

C-4. Catalyst 6000 FlexWAN Module

• The FlexWAN module supports up to two Cisco 7200/7500 series router WAN port adapters in any combination.

• Up to eight FlexWAN modules can be installed in a Catalyst 6000 switch chassis.

• Any port adapter can be used except Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, channel port adapters, encryption service modules, compression service modules, and double-wide port adapters.

Configuration

Interfaces on FlexWAN port adapters are configured according to the Cisco IOS Software command syntax. The configuration commands are entered on either an MSFC/MSFC2 module or on the Catalyst 6000 Supervisor running native Cisco IOS Software. The Supervisor must have both MSFC and PFC modules installed before the FlexWAN module can be configured and used.

When configuring the FlexWAN interfaces, you need to use this interface numbering format:

COS	N/A
IOS	(global) interface mod/bay/port

The mod field is the module or slot number of the FlexWAN module. The bay field specifies the port adapter number within the FlexWAN module. The port field is the port or interface number within the port adapter.
