•
System powering up with RP running older CPLD and RP with latest CPLD inserted—The message
will be printed when the system powered up before this event. When the second RP is inserted no
special action is taken.
•
System up with RP running older CPLD and RP with older CPLD inserted—The message will be
printed when the system powered up before this event. When the second RP is inserted, similar
message for the new card will be printed.
When To Perform a CPLD Upgrade
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.
•
System powering up with RP running older CPLD and RP with latest CPLD inserted—The message
will be printed when the system powered up before this event. When the second RP is inserted no
special action is taken.
•
System up with RP running older CPLD and RP with older CPLD inserted—The message will be
printed when the system powered up before this event. When the second RP is inserted, similar
message for the new card will be printed.
Unsupported Standby ASR1000-RP2 or ASR1000-SIP10 Requires Upgrade
This section describes what happens when a standby Cisco ASR1000-RP2 or Cisco ASR1000-SIP10
with an older version of CPLD is inserted into the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. The error message that is
displayed on the console and the message explanation and recommended action are described.
Error message

fru_model_string: ASR1000-RP2/ASR1000-SIP10
fru_string: [0-5]/R0/R1
hw_config_string: ASR1013
Reason
This FRU requires a newer CPLD firmware to function properly in this chassis.
Recommended action
Upgrade the CPLD firmware on this FRU using the upgrade hw-programmable CPLD file <pkg_file>
slot <fru_slot> command. For more details, see
