    Software Configuration   For the newly upgraded CPLD image to be active, you need to power cycle the system. After the system boots to Linux, to confirm the CPLD upgrade, execute the fcu –q command. 5.2.1.3 Broadcom Switch The MC1600 contains a Broadcom BCM53402 8-port Ethernet switch. Each port supports 10GbE.
