Using Show Commands To Verify Modular Line Card And Modular Port Adapter Status - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Chapter 2 Installing Line Cards in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router
When the MLC and MPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.
Step 2
See the
Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide

Step 3 If the modular line cards (MLCs) and modular port adapters (MPAs) have not become active within three
minutes, refer to the system console messages. If there is no indication that a field-programmable device
(FPD) upgrade is underway, see

Using show Commands to Verify Modular Line Card and Modular Port Adapter Status

The following procedure uses show commands to verify that the new modular port adapters (MPAs) are
configured and operating correctly.
Step 1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new MPA interfaces.
Step 2 Display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs) using the show diag command.
Step 3 Use the show hw-module fpd location <rack/slot/subslot> command to verify the FPD version
information of the modular port adapters (MPAs) installed in the system.
Note
Use the show platform command to check the state of all the boards in the chassis, including the MLC
Step 4
and the modular port adapters (MPAs).
The MPA state should be "OK" and the MLC card state should be "IOS XR RUN" in the show platform
command output
Step 5 Finally, you can use the show version command to obtain software version information for the installed
modular line cards (MLCs) as well as interfaces available.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide
If a MLC or MPA is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or hardware swap), the
previous configuration is reinstated when the MLC or MPA becomes active.
If a MLC or MPA has not been previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then the configuration
for all associated interfaces is empty.
Note New interfaces are not available until you configure them.
If a MPA does not meet the minimum version required, the FPD may need to be updated. See
the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Configuration
Guide for instructions. If the update fails, the failing module is powered down and an error
message displays on the system console.
