Chapter 3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis

Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters

Step 3 If the modular port adapters (MPAs) do 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 Troubleshooting the Installation, page 4-1.

Using show Commands to Verify Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Status

This procedure uses show commands to verify that the new modular port adapters (MPAs) are configured and operating correctly.

To verify the MPA status:

Step 1 Use the show running-configcommand to display the system configuration. Verify that the configuration includes the new MPA interfaces.

Step 2 Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).

Step 3 Use the show hw-module fpd location <rack/slot/subslot> command to verify the FPD version information of the MPAs installed in the system.

Note If a modular port adapter (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

Step 4 Use the show platform command to check the state of all boards in the chassis, including the MLC and the MPAs.

The MPA state should be “OK” and the MLC state should be “IOS XR RUN” in the show platform command output.

Step 5 Use the show version command to obtain software version information for the installed MLCs as well as interfaces available.

Using show Commands to Display Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Information

Table 3-6describes the show commands you can use to display modular port adapter (MPA) information.
