Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information

Upgrading FPGA on the NPE-G2

Upgrading FPGA on the NPE-G2

Afield-programmable gate array (FPGA) device exists on the NPE-G2. FPGA devices do not exist on other Cisco 7200 series routers network processing engines. FPGA devices are a type of field-programmable device (FPD) that support separate software upgrades. Whenever a Cisco image is released that supports the FPD feature, a companion FPD image package is also released for that Cisco IOS software release. The FPD image package is available from Cisco.com and is accessible from the Cisco Software Center page where you go to download your Cisco IOS software image.

Note For Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)XD, only a manual FPD upgrade of the NPE-G2 is supported.

For FPGA upgrade information and procedures, see the Field-Programmable Device Upgrades document at:

Troubleshooting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2

For troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2” section on page 10-2.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Information

We strongly recommend cleaning all optical fiber connections before reconnecting optical cables to equipment. For information about cleaning optical connectors, see the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document and the Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections document.
