Unsupported Active Asr1000-Rp2 Requires Upgrade - Cisco ASR 1013 Hardware Installation Manual

Upgrading Existing Hardware Components to Support the Cisco ASR 1013 Router
Previously released Cisco ASR1000-RP2 and Cisco ASR1000-SIP10 modules are not compatible when
inserted in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. If an incompatible component is inserted into the Cisco ASR 1013
Router, Cisco software detects the out-of-revision hardware. In order to reuse the Cisco ASR1000-RP2 and
Cisco ASR1000-SIP10 in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, you must perform a CPLD field programmable hardware
upgrade on these modules.
For procedures on performing a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) field programmable upgrade,

Unsupported Active ASR1000-RP2 Requires Upgrade

This section describes what happens when an active Cisco ASR1000-RP2 with an older version of CPLD is
inserted into the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. This section describes the error message, reason, and under what
types of configuration an upgrade of CPLD firmware is required.
Error message
CMRP-3-RP_CPLD_INCOMPATIBLE: All other cards in the system has been held in reset as the
Active RP [chars] in slot [chars] has CPLD firmware version that is incompatible with
[chars]"
fru_model_string: ASR1000-RP2
fru_string: R0/R1
hw_config_string: ASR1013
Reason
Active RP requires newer CPLD firmware to function properly in this chassis.
Recommended action
Upgrade the CPLD firmware on this FRU using the <b> upgrade hw-programmable CPLD file <pkg_file>
slot <fru_slot> </b> command. See
for more details.
Configurations—When an Upgrade of CPLD Firmware Is Required
In order to use existing ASR1000-RP2 and ASR1000-SIP10 hardware components in the Cisco ASR 1013
Router, you must perform a CPLD upgrade on the RP2 and SIP10 components (with older CPLD) if the
following configurations occur:
• System powering up with both RPs with older CPLD—The system comes up in redundant mode and
the message stating that the CPLD needs upgrade (for both RPs) displays on the console with a clear
warning that the system may not work properly unless it is upgraded, and a summary of the instructions
to upgrade. A message for standby RP will appear in the standby console and the active RP.
• System powering up with one RP with older CPLD—The message will be printed for the RP with older
CPLD.
• System powering up with RP running latest CPLD and RP with older CPLD inserted—The message
will be printed for the newly inserted RP.
• System powering up with RP running older CPLD and RP with latest CPLD inserted—The message
will be printed when the system powered up before this event. When the second RP is inserted no special
action is taken.
