Chapter 2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview
Supported ASR 1000 Hardware Components
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, see
Upgrading Field Programmable Hardware Devices for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers

•
Unsupported Standby ASR1000-RP2 or ASR1000-SIP10 Requires Upgrade, page 2-10
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
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr1000/cpld/hw_fp_upgrade.html
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.
