Chapter3 Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters
Step3 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:
Step1 Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the
configuration includes the new MPA interfaces.
Step2 Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).
Step3 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
Step4 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.
Step5 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 -6 describes the show commands you can use to display modular port adapter (MPA)
information.
Table3-6 show Commands to Display Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Information
Command Type of Information Provided
show running-config Router’s running configuration and interfaces available in the
system.
show platform Router’s installed linecard and modular port adapter (MPA) type,
slot, and state information.
show diag Modular port adapter (MPA) type in that slot, number of ports,
hardware revision, part number, and EEPROM contents.
