You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

Displaying Hardware Status

This section describes how to display different types of hardware status information.

Displaying SDR Hardware Version Information

To display hardware version information for the components assigned to a secure domain router (SDR), connect to the designated shelf controller (DSC) and enter the show diag command in EXEC mode. The displayed information includes the card serial number and the ROMMON software version.

The syntax for the show diag command in EXEC mode is:

show diag [node-id | details | summary]

In the following example, the show diag command displays information for all nodes in the SDR:

Displaying System Hardware Version Information

To display hardware version information for all or some of the components assigned in a system, connect to the designated shelf controller (DSC) and enter the show diag command in administration EXEC mode. When this command is entered in administration EXEC mode, you can display information on RSPs, line cards, and system components such as the chassis, fan trays, and power supplies.


Note


If you enter the show diag command in EXEC mode, the software displays only the hardware assigned to the SDR to which you are connected.


The syntax for the show diag command in administration EXEC mode is:

show diag [node-id | chassis | details | fans | memory | power-supply | summary]


Tip


For information on the software version, use the show version command.


In the following example, the show diag command displays information for all nodes in the system:

Displaying SDR Node IDs and Status

In EXEC mode, the show platform command displays information for all nodes assigned to the owner SDR. For each node, this information includes the host card type, the operational state, and the configuration state. To display information on a single node, enter the command with a node ID.

The syntax for the show platform command is:

show platform [node-id]

The following example displays the status for all nodes in the SDR to which you are connected:



RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show platform

0/6/CPU0        A9K-4T-B                  IOS XR RUN       PWR,NSHUT,MON
  

The node-id appears in the rack/slot/module notation, and the node-id components are as follows:

  • rack —In a single-shelf system the rack number is always “0.”

  • slot —Number of the physical slot in which the card is installed.

  • module —Subslot number of a system hardware component.

Table 1 summarizes the node-id for each type of card.

Displaying Router Node IDs and Status

In administration EXEC mode, the show platform command displays information for all router nodes. In administration EXEC mode, the command display also includes additional node IDs such as those for fabric cards, alarm modules, and fan controllers. For each node, this information includes the host card type, the operational state, and the configuration state. To display information on a single node, enter the command with a node ID.

The syntax for the show platform command is:

show platform [node-id]

The following example displays the status for all nodes in the system:



RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# show platform

The node-id appears in the rack/slot/module notation, and the node-id components are as follows:

  • rack —In a single-shelf system the rack number is always “0.”

  • slot —Number of the physical slot in which the card is installed.

  • module —Subslot number of a system hardware component.

Table 1 summarizes the node-id argument for each type of card.

Displaying Router Environment Information

The show environment command displays hardware information for the system, including fan speeds, LED indications, power supply voltage and current information, and temperatures.

The syntax for the show environment command is:

show environment [options]

You can use the show environment command options to limit the detail in the command display. To view the command options, enter the show environment ? command. The following example shows the full environment status report:

Configuring the Chassis Altitude

To allow your router to adjust the fan speed to compensate for lower cooling capabilities at higher altitudes, you should configure the chassis altitude setting. Use the environment altitude command in administration configuration mode. The default setting is 1800 meters.

The syntax for the environment altitude command is:

environment altitude altitude rack rack-no

Displaying RP Redundancy Status

The show redundancy command displays the redundancy status of the route switch processors (RSPs). This command also displays the boot and switch-over history for the RSPs.

The show redundancy operates in EXEC and administration EXEC mode.

In the following example, the show redundancy command displays the redundancy status for a redundant RSP pair:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# show redundancy

Mon Jun 29 04:49:26.098 PST

Active node booted Thu Jun 11 15:20:50 2009: 2 weeks, 3 days, 13 hours, 28 minutes ago

Active node reload "Cause: Turboboot completed successfully"

Displaying Field-Programmable Device Compatibility

The show hw-module fpd command displays field-programmable device (FPD) compatibility for all modules or a specific module.

The syntax for the show hw-module fpd command is:

show hw-module fpd location {all | node-id}

The show hw-module fpd operates in EXEC and administration EXEC mode.

The following example shows how to display FPD compatibility for all modules in the router:

RSP Redundancy and Switchover

This section describes RSP redundancy and switchover commands and issues.

Establishing RSP Redundancy

Your router has two slots for RSPs: RSP0 and RSP1 (see Redundant Set of RSPs Installed in Slots RSP0 and RSP1 in an 8-Slot Chassis). RSP0 is the slot on the left, facing the front of the chassis, and RSP1 is the slot on right. These slots are configured for redundancy by default, and the redundancy cannot be eliminated. To establish RSP redundancy, install RSPs into both slots.

Figure 1. Redundant Set of RSPs Installed in Slots RSP0 and RSP1 in an 8-Slot Chassis

Determining the Active RP in a Redundant Pair

During system startup, one RSP in each redundant pair becomes the active RSP. You can tell which RSP is the active RSP in the following ways:

  • The active RSP can be identified by the green Primary LED on the faceplate of the card. The active RSP is indicated when the Primary LED is on. The alphanumeric LED display on the RSP displays ACTV RP.
  • The slot of the active RSP is indicated in the CLI prompt. For example:

    
    RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:router#
      

    In this example, the prompt indicates that you are communicating with the active RSP in slot RSP1. See Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Getting Started Guide for a complete description of the CLI prompt.

  • Enter the show redundancy command in EXEC mode to display a summary of the active and standby RSP status. For example:

    RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# show redundancy
    
    Mon Jun 29 04:49:26.098 PST
    Redundancy information for node 0/RSP0/CPU0:
    ==========================================
    Node 0/RSP0/CPU0 is in ACTIVE role
    Node 0/RSP0/CPU0 has no valid partner
    
    Reload and boot info
    ----------------------
    A9K-RSP-4G reloaded Thu Jun 11 15:20:50 2009: 2 weeks, 3 days, 13 hours, 28 minutes ago
    Active node booted Thu Jun 11 15:20:50 2009: 2 weeks, 3 days, 13 hours, 28 minutes ago
    
    Active node reload "Cause: Turboboot completed successfully"

Role of the Standby RSP

The second RSP to boot in a redundant pair automatically becomes the standby RSP. While the active RSP manages the system and communicates with the user interface, the standby RSP maintains a complete backup of the software and configurations for all cards in the system. If the active RSP fails or goes off line for any reason, the standby RSP immediately takes control of the system.

Summary of Redundancy Commands

RSP redundancy is enabled by default in the Cisco IOS XR software, but you can use the commands described in Table 1 to display the redundancy status of the cards or force a manual switchover.

Table 4. RSP Redundancy Commands

Command

Description

show redundancy

Displays the redundancy status of the RSPs. This command also displays the boot and switch-over history for the RSPs.

redundancy switchover

Forces a manual switchover to the standby RSP. This command works only if the standby RSP is installed and in the “ready” state.

show platform

Displays the status for node, including the redundancy status of the RSP cards. In EXEC mode, this command displays status for the nodes assigned to the SDR. In administration EXEC mode, this command displays status for all nodes in the system.

Automatic Switchover

Automatic switchover from the active RSP to the standby RSP occurs only if the active RSP encounters a serious system error, such as the loss of a mandatory process or a hardware failure. When an automatic switchover occurs, the RSPs respond as follows:

  • If a standby RSP is installed and “ready” for switchover, the standby RSP becomes the active RSP. The original active RSP attempts to reboot.
  • If the standby RSP is not in “ready” state, then both RSPs reboot. The first RSP to boot successfully assumes the role of active RSP.

RSP Redundancy During RSP Reload

The reload command causes the active RSP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software. When an RSP reload occurs, the RSPs respond as follows:

  • If a standby RSP is installed and “ready” for switchover, the standby RSP becomes the active RSP. The original active RSP reboots and becomes the standby RSP.
  • If the standby RSP is not in the “ready” state, then both RSPs reboot. The first RSP to boot successfully assumes the role of active RSP.

Caution


You should not use the reload command to force an RSP switchover because the result could be a significant loss of router operations. Instead, use the redundancy switchover command to fail over to the standby RSP, then use the hw-module location node-id reload command to reload the new standby RSP.


Manual Switchover

You can force a manual switchover from the active RSP to the standby RSP using the redundancy switchover command.

If a standby RSP is installed and ready for switchover, the standby RSP becomes the active RSP. The original active RSP becomes the standby RSP. In the following example, partial output for a successful redundancy switchover operation is shown:



RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show redundancy
  
  This node (0/RSP0/CPU0) is in ACTIVE role
  Partner node (0/RSP1/CPU0) is in STANDBY role
  Standby node in 0/RSP1/CPU0 is ready
  
  RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# redundancy switchover
  Updating Commit Database.  Please wait...[OK]
  Proceed with switchover 0/RSP0/CPU0 -> 0/RSP1/CPU0? [confirm]
  Initiating switch-over.
  RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router#
  
  <Your 'TELNET' connection has terminated>
  

In the preceding example, the Telnet connection is lost when the previously active RP resets. To continue management of the router, you must connect to the newly activated RP as shown in the following example:

  Username: xxxxx
  Password: xxxxx
  Last switch-over Sat Apr 15 12:26:47 2009: 1 minute ago
  


RP/0/RSP1/CPU0:router#
  

If the standby RSP is not in “ready” state, the switchover operation is not allowed. In the following example, partial output for a failed redundancy switchover attempt is shown:



RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show redundancy 
  
  Redundancy information for node 0/RP1/CPU0:

  Active node booted Sat Apr 15 12:27:58 2009: 8 minutes ago
  Last switch-over Sat Apr 15 12:35:42 2009: 1 minute ago
  There have been 4 switch-overs since reload
  
  RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# redundancy switchover
  
  Switchover disallowed: Standby node is not ready.
  

System Logs during RSP Switchover

In the event of an RSP switchover, the router logs the following syslog messages:

RP/0/1/CPU0:Feb 19 09:08:00.655 UTC: rmf_svr[436]: %HA-REDCON-6-GO_ACTIVE : this card going active
RP/1/1/CPU0:Mar 8 11:43:29.041 UTC: rmf_svr[147]: %HA-REDCON-6-GO_STANDBY : this card going standby, location RP/1/1/CPU0

Communicating with a Standby RP

The active RSP automatically synchronizes all system software, settings, and configurations with the standby RSP.

If you connect to the standby RSP through the console port, you can view the status messages for the standby RSP. The standby RSP does not display a CLI prompt, so you cannot manage the standby card while it is in standby mode.

If you connect to the standby RSP through the management Ethernet port, the prompt that appears is for the active RSP, and you can manage the router the same as if you had connected through the management Ethernet port on the active RSP.

PFM Alarm on OCXO Failure

Table 5. Feature History Table

Feature Name

Release Information

Feature Description

PFM Alarm on OCXO Failure

Release 6.7.35

You now get notified via Platform Fault Manager (PFM) alarms when the internal oscillator Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) fails. OCXO failure causes timing loss in internal devices leading to possible interface flaps.

This feature covers two scenarios:

  • In the case of a single RSP, you only receive a notification via the PFM alarm.

  • In the case of dual RSPs, RSP switchover takes place along with the notification.

Use the show reboot command to view the Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL) logs and track the PFM alarms.

The function of the OCXO, which is an internal Oscillator, is to provide clock to the Phased-Locked Loop (PLL). OCXO is connected to PLL which is further connected to many hardware components. When OCXO fails to deliver the clock output, timing loss occurs. This may lead to further problems in the system such as interface flaps.

When the OCXO failure is detected, the PFM alarms are displayed on the router console. Contact the Cisco Support team when you see PFM alarms on router console as this is a hardware failure and you must get your hardware checked.


Note


When OCXO fails, local oscillator clock output is unstable and the line card interfaces state might be unpredictable.


PFM Alarms

The following are the examples of the PFM alarms that are generated on the router console:

  • Dual RSP

Restrictions for PFM Alarms on OCXO Failure

PFM alarm generation during OCXO failure is supported on the following Route Processor (RP)/Route Switch Processor (RSP) only:

  • A9K-RSP880-LT-SE/TR

  • A99-RP2-SE/TR

  • A9K-RSP880-SE/TR

Mitigation

The router tries to recover from OCXO failure by performing switchover of RSPs in the case of Dual RSPs.

Use the show platform command to detect whether your router has standalone RSP or dual RSPs.

Here, is an example of command output for dual RSP:

Router#show platform

Router#
Dual RSPs

When the router has High Availabilty (HA) RSPs or Dual RSPs, there are two RSPs: RSP0 and RSP1. One of them is active RSP and other is standby RSP. When OCXO fails, you can see a PFM alarm on the router console. The router performs RSP switchover to recover from the OCXO failure and to maintain the timing accuracy. During switchover, the active RSP becomes the standby RSP and the standby RSP takes the role of active RSP. RSP switchover takes maximum 10 seconds.

However, you must contact Cisco Support team.

To track the fatal PFM alarms generated, the router maintains OBFL logs. .

Use the Router# show reboot history location 0/RSP0/CPU0 command to view the OBFL logs.

Here, is a sample output of reboot history.

Standalone RSP

When only one RSP is in use, you can only see the PFM alarm on the router console. This alarm indicates that OCXO failure has occurred and you must contact Cisco Support team.

Console Management Port

The Console Management Port (CMP) feature enables console access to the RSP and RP network devices through an ethernet port on the router using the Secure Shell (SSH).

To enable CMP feature the IPU and ROMMON must be upgraded to the latest version available in the Cisco IOS XR Software Release 5.3.2 through FPD upgrade for IOS XR 32-bit image, and Cisco IOS XR Software Release 6.4.1 for IOS XR 64-bit image. .

For information about FPD upgrade, see Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management Configuration Guide, chapter Upgrading FPD.


Note


  • CMP feature helps troubleshoot the RP and RSP issues when IOS XR CLI is unavailable or when the CPU is inaccessible. On the contrary, using the CMP feature otherwise will result in unpredictable behavior of the router.

  • CMP is supported only on RSP 880, RSP880-LT, RSP5, RP2, and RP3 hardware.


The CMP feature enables:

  • Connection to route processor console port.

  • Connection to route processor auxiliary port (32-bit image) or system admin plane (64-bit image).

  • installation of new software image through SCP (32-bit image) or PXE (64-bit image) without a terminal server connected to the console port.

  • CMP password recovery by using the resetcmp command on the CMP shell. This clears CMP data (user IDs, passwords, DNS name, hostname, SSH Key) to default settings.


    Note


    The default login username is cmp and password is cisco.


You can download a new IOS XR 32-bit image using the scpboot command (image will be turbo booted), and a new IOS XR 64-bit image using the pxeboot command.. You must provide the server IPv6 address and filename when using scpboot command. The image is copied from the server directly to the route processor CPU memory. If route processor CPU side is in ROMMON or already in IOS XR, it is reset and held in ROMMON until the image is copied. This image is automatically booted (turbo boot for 32-bit and pxeboot for 64-bit image) on the route processor CPU side. The image download options (scpboot and pxeboot) provided by the CMP can only download and boot a complete image. Subsequent image upgrades, pie downloads (32-bit image) and VM downloads (64-bit image) must be done through system admin (32-bit image), XR (64-bit image) and using the management ports.

CMP implements zero-configuration networking concepts such as mDNS and DNS-SD to ease the booting of a supervisor (RSP, RP) card. See the section Zero Configuration Networking for information on zero-configuration networking.

For information on CMP shell, see the section CMP Shell.

CMP Shell

CMP is accessed using IPv6 SSH. Use the default username/password to login to CMP shell. This table describes the commands available on the CMP shell:

Table 6. CMP Shell Commands

Command

Description

adduser

Adds a new CMP user ID/password.

aux

Connects to route processor CPU auxiliary port for 32-bit image.

Connects to system admin plane for 64-bit image.

con

Connects to route processor CPU console port.

Although multiple SSH sessions to the CMP shell are allowed, the con , aux, or lc command execution is allowed for only single user at a time.

copykey

SCP a key.

deluser

Deletes a user ID.

It is recommended that you delete the default username cmp after a new user is created.

desc_err

Shows description of command error codes.

debug

Enables CMP console logging functionality.

dns

Changes DNS name.

The initial service advertisement uses the domain name of chassis serial number + RSP/RP slot. This can be changed using the dns command.

exit

Logs out of CMP.

fanspeed

Shows information about fan trays in the chassis.

help

Displays available CMP commands.

hostname

Changes a host name.

lc_con

Connects to a line card console.

lcslotinfo

Shows line card slot ID information.

passwd

Changes password (minimum 5 and maximum 8 characters).

priv

Enters privileged EXEC mode.

pxeboot

PXE boots a 64-bit Cisco IOS XR image to Route processor CPU memory.

resetcmp

Clears CMP data (user IDs, passwords, DNS name, hostname and SSH key) to default settings.

run

Runs diagnostic commands ping/ping6/traceroute/traceroute6 to diagnose basic network connectivity problems.

scpboot

SCP boots 32-bit IOS XR image and TURBOBOOT to route processor CPU memory.

show

Shows all CMP data.

Displays ip/key/cmp configuration.

showinv

Shows the physical inventory.

showtemp

Shows the temperature information.

slotmap

Displays physical slot and card mapping information.

sshkeygen

Generates a new SSH key.

unlock

Removes all system locks.

From CMP shell only one user is allowed to login to the console port, auxiliary port or LC console, and that user holds the lock and there is no access to other users.

warmreset

Warm resets local route processor.

Return Material Authorization (RMA) - In the event of a RMA of the supervisor (RSP/RP) card, since the CMP information is tied to the chassis serial number, all the modified information using the CMP shell is reverted back to factory default values. This means that the username/password database would be erased and the default username/password is in effect. The domain name used in service advertisement reverts to the chassis serial number plus slot ID.

Limitations

These are the limitation of CMP:

  • CMP supports only SSH service.

  • Only one SSH session has console, auxiliary or system admin port.

  • CMP does not support software image upgrade, pie or VM downloads.

  • IPv6 link local address is preferred by Avahi application rather than the IPv6 global address.

  • There is no authentication performed on users logging into the CMP shell.

  • Warm reload causes loss of CMP SSH session only in A9K-RSP880-TR/SE or A99-RP2-TR/SE.

Zero Configuration Networking

CMP configures the network devices using zero-configuration networking model and eliminates the need to have serial terminal servers. The zero-configuration networking enables:

  • automatic IP address selection for network device—If a network device does not have an IP address assigned to it, then zero-configuration networking supports DHCP to obtain IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The CMP port when connected to a IPv6 network obtains a link local address and also IPv6 global auto address based on IPv6 SLAAC.

  • automatic domain name resolution and distribution of computer host names—The zero-configuration networking implements multicast DNS (mDNS). mDNS allows a network device to select a domain name in the local namespace and then broadcast that name using a special multicast IP address, allowing other devices on the network to connect to it by name instead of by numbered IP address. This eliminates the need to configure a DNS server.

  • automatic location of network services through DNS service discovery—The zero-configuration networking enables a network device to use standard DNS queries to discover devices registered on the network that are broadcasting the services that they provide. This eliminates the need to set up a directory server.

These are the zero-configuration networking applications that are supported:
  • For Windows and MAC OS—Bonjour

  • For Linux OS—Avahi

CPAK

CPAKs are the Cisco's innovation for 100G pluggable optics, which is built with the industry leading smallest form factor, in full compliant with IEEE802.3ae specification for 100GE-SR10, -LR4, and can interoperate with all IEEE 802.3ba compliant CFP-SR10 or CFP-LR4 100G optics.

The key new functionality is that CPAK variants are being constructed that represent 10 x 10GE ports. A single physical port on the linecard needs to instantiate multiple breakout Ethernet interfaces, very much similar to serial interface channelization.

Modes Supported on CPAKs

This table clearly lists the modes supported with the relevant PID:

CPAK (PID)

Modes Supported

CPAK-100G-SR10

100 GE, 10 GE, 40 GE

CPAK-100G-LR

100 GE

CPAK-10X10G-LR

10 GE.

CPAK-100G-ER4L

100 GE

The standard R/S/I/P format is 4-tuple. 5-tuple interfaces are represented as - R/S/I/P/SP. P is the CPAK port and SP indicates the breakout port. A CPAK which is configured as 5 tuple after executing the breakout command can be configured as 0x10G configuration. A CPAK, without the breakout mode can only be configured as 100G, represents a 4 tuple configuration. The default interface type is HundredGigE. If there is no configuration, then Hundred GigE interface would be created for the CPAK ports.

Note

 

The optional keyword, preconfigure enables the user to preconfigure breakout on an empty slot.

SR10 CPAK can operate in the following modes - 1x100GE or 10x10GE. 1x100GE is the default option. 10x10 CPAK can also support 10x10GE.

Power saving mode

8x100GE Line card consists of 4 Slices (0,1,2,3). Each slice has two physical ports. Slice-1, 2 and 3 can be configured into power save mode. Power save option is not applicable to Slice-0. Use the hw-module power saving command to configure the required slice to power saving mode.

Once a slice is configured in the power saving mode, the interfaces will be deleted and hence all traffic passing through the interfaces will be dropped.

Reloading, Shutting Down, or Power Cycling a Node

Use the commands described in this section to reload the Cisco IOS XR software on the active RSP or on any specified node in the system. This section also describes the commands used to administratively shut down a node and power a node on or off.

Table 9. Commands to Reload, Shut Down, or Power Cycle a Node

Command

Description

hw-module location node-id power disable

This command administratively turns the power off for a node. It is entered in administration configuration mode. The changes do not take effect until you enter the commit command.

To power on a node, use the no form of this command.

Note

 

This command cannot be used to disable power on the RSP from which the command is entered.

hw-module location node-id reload

This command works in EXEC mode and reloads the Cisco IOS XR software on a specific node or all nodes. To specify all nodes, enter the all keyword in place of the node-id argument. The node reloads with the current running configuration and active software set for that node.

hw-module shutdown location node-id

This command must be entered in the configuration mode and administratively shuts down the specified node. Nodes that are shut down still have power but cannot load or operate Cisco IOS XR software.

To return a node to the up state, use the no form of this command.

Note

 

This command cannot be used to shut down the RSP from which the command is entered.

hw-module unshut location node-id

This command must be entered in the configuration mode. This command is used to administratively bring up the specified node.


Note


When you use the hw-module shutdown location node-id command to a line card, you must wait until the configuration is applied before removing the line card. Removal of the line card before the shutdown may result in a hardware issue.

Reloading the Active RSP

The reload command causes the active RSP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software according to the configuration register setting. This setting determines how the active RSP acts when reloaded.

This section contains instructions to reload the Cisco IOS XR software and return to EXEC mode. For instructions to use the reload command for entering ROM Monitor bootstrap mode, see ROM Monitor Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Routers.


Caution


Because the reload command causes the active RSP to go off line and either reload the Cisco IOS XR software or enter ROM Monitor mode, the router experiences a loss of service unless a redundant standby RSP is installed and in “ready” state. To display the status of the standby RSP, use the show redundancy command in EXEC mode.


SUMMARY STEPS

  1. show redundancy
  2. admin
  3. show variables boot
  4. (Optional) config-register register-value
  5. admin
  6. reload

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

show redundancy

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show redundancy

Displays the RSP redundancy status.

  • If a standby RSP is in “ready” redundancy state, the reload command also causes the router to gracefully fail over to the standby RSP.

Step 2

admin

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# admin 

Enters administration EXEC mode.

Step 3

show variables boot

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# show variables boot

Displays the configuration register setting.

  • Enter this command in administration EXEC mode.
  • For normal operations, the configuration register setting is 0x102 or 0x2102, which causes the active RSP to reload the Cisco IOS XR software.
  • Verify that the configuration register setting is 0x102 or 0x2102. If it is not, complete 4 to reset the configuration register to 0x102 or 0x2102.

Note

 

For instructions on how to enter ROM Monitor bootstrap mode, see ROM Monitor Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Routers.

Step 4

(Optional) config-register register-value

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# config-register 0x102
(Optional)

Sets the configuration register to the respective value. This step is necessary only if the register is not set to the respective value (0x102 or 0x2102) in the running configuration. You can use either 0x102 or 0x2102. Both these values specify the same functionality, as bit 13 in 0x2102 is not significant for Cisco IOS XR software.

Step 5

admin

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# admin 

Enters administration EXEC mode.

Step 6

reload

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# reload

Reloads the active RSP according to the configuration register setting.

  • If the setting is 0x102 or 0x2102 , then the RSP reloads the Cisco IOS XR software.
  • If the standby RSP is in “ready” redundancy state, the router switches over to the standby RSP.
  • If a standby RSP is not installed or not in a “ready” state, the router experiences a loss of service while the active RSP is reloading the Cisco IOS XR software.

Flash Disk Recovery

When an RSP is power cycled or experiences an ungraceful reset, the boot disk (PCMCIA flash disk used to boot the card) may experience a file-system corruption. If this occurs, an error message is displayed and the RSP fails to boot. The corrupted flash disk is automatically reformatted and the Cisco IOS XR software is restored from the designated system controller (DSC) for the system.

For example, if a flash disk for an RSP is corrupted, the RP fails to boot and the following error message is displayed:

If this occurs, then the flash disk is automatically reformatted and the Cisco IOS XR software is restored to the flash disk.


Note


If the flash disk is badly damaged and cannot be reformatted, the disk must be replaced.

If the corrupted flash disk is the DSC, then the router fails over to the standby DSC. If no standby DSC is installed, then the system fails to boot.


Using Controller Commands to Manage Hardware Components

The controller , controllers , and show controllers commands are used to manage and display settings for various hardware components, including the switch fabric management, Ethernet control plane, and interface manager. These commands are primarily diagnostic and related to driver-level details. The information available with these commands varies widely and is hardware specific.

For information on the use of these commands, see Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

Formatting Hard Drives, Flash Drives, and Other Storage Devices

To format a storage device on the router, use the format command in EXEC mode.


Caution


Formatting a storage device deletes all data on that device.


The following command syntax is used:

format filesystem: [options]

Table 1 describes the format command syntax.

Table 10. format command Syntax Description

Variable

Description

filesystem

Specifies the memory device to format. The supported file systems are:

  • bootflash:
  • compactflash:
  • configflash:
  • harddisk:
  • harddiska:
  • disk0:
  • disk1:

Enter format ? to see the devices supported on your router.

options

Enter format filesystem: ? to see the available options.

For more information, see System Management Command Reference for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

In the following example, the format command is used to format the hard disk:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# format harddisk:
  

Removing and Replacing Cards

This section describes card replacement issues and procedures.

Removing Line Cards

Line cards are designed for online insertion and removal (OIR). A line card is a single card that contains all service processing functions and physical line interfaces.

The OIR feature allows you to remove and replace cards without removing power to the card or chassis. Removing a card interrupts all traffic passing through the card, but it does not remove the card configuration.

When you remove a card, the configuration remains for all interfaces, but the interfaces do not appear in the output of the show interfaces command. You can view interface configurations by entering the show running-config command. The following example shows how the configuration appears when a card is removed:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show running-config
  
  Building configuration...
  hostname router
  router ospf 3269
   area 0
    interface POS0/3/0/0
     cost 20
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/0
   ipv4 address 10.10.50.1 255.255.255.0
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/1
   description POS0/3/0/1
   shutdown
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/2
   description POS0/3/0/2
   shutdown
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/3
   description POS0/3/0/3
   shutdown
  !
  
  

In this example, the line card in slot 3 is removed, and the interface configuration for all four interfaces changes to “interface preconfigure.” However, the “router ospf” reference to a slot 3 interface does not change. If you replace a line card with another line card that uses the same media type and port count, the configuration becomes active on the replacement card.

To remove the configuration for a slot after a card is removed, use the no interface preconfigure command to remove all interface configuration statements for that card in the running configuration. In addition, search the configuration for any references to the removed interfaces, such as the “router ospf” reference to slot 3 in the preceding example.

To remove the configuration for a slot when a card is installed, use the no interface command to remove all interface configuration statements for that card in the running configuration. In addition, search the configuration for any references to the removed interfaces.

Each line card supports a specific media type (Packet over SONET/SDH [POS] or Ethernet, for example) and port count. If you replace a line card with one that supports a different media type or port count, you should review the configuration and revise it to support the replacement line card.

Replacing a Line Card with the Same Media Type and Port Count

When you replace a line card or PLIM with a card that is of the same media type and has the same port count as the replaced card, the guidelines in the Removing Line Cards apply. Because the replacement card is of the same media type and port count, no special procedures are required for card removal and replacement.

Replacing a Line Card with the Same Media Type and a Different Port Count

When you replace a line card with a card that is of the same media type with a different port count, the guidelines in Removing Line Cards apply.

If the new card has a greater port count than the replaced card, the configuration applies to the corresponding lower port numbers, and the ports that did not exist on the replaced card have no configuration and come up in the shutdown state.

If the new card supports fewer ports, the existing configuration for the corresponding number of ports on the new card set is applied. The previous configuration for the removed ports remains in interface preconfigure state, as shown in the following example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# show running-config
  
  Building configuration...
  hostname rtp-gsr1
  interface POS0/3/0/0
   ipv4 address 10.10.50.1 255.255.255.0
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/1
   description POS0/3/0/1
   shutdown
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/2
   description POS0/3/0/2
   shutdown
  !
  interface preconfigure POS0/3/0/3
   description POS0/3/0/3
   shutdown
  !
  

In the preceding example, a four-port card has been replaced with a single-port card. The configuration from port 1 on the four-port card is applied to the single port on the replacement card, and the remaining port configurations change to “interface preconfigure.” To remove the configuration for the missing interfaces, use the no interface preconfigure command. In addition, search for and remove any configuration references to the removed interfaces.

Whenever you replace a line card with the same media type and a different port count, review the running configuration in the router and revise the configuration as necessary.

Replacing a Line Card or PLIM with a Different Media Type

When you replace a line card or PLIM with a card that is of a different media type (for example, if you replace a POS PLIM with an Ethernet PLIM), the guidelines in Removing Line Cards apply. Review the running configuration in the router and revise the configuration as necessary for the new media type.

Proactive Line Card Shut Down

The proactive line card shutdown feature enables powering down line cards automatically when the power that is drawn by the router exceeds configured threshold. The sequence of powering down LCs is based on the shutdown priorities that are assigned to them. The LC, however, does not boot automatically even after the router power draw is back to normal below the shutdown threshold. Therefore, you must manually bring up the LC by either reloading or OIR method.

Instead of provisioning more power to the router in worst case power draw scenarios, this feature helps in saving power by powering down the LC.

As part of this feature, you must configure two threshold values:

  • Syslog Threshold—This value serves as a syslog warning threshold. If the router power draw exceeds the syslog threshold, then a warning error message is captured at the console. This warning message facilitates the user to take any preventive action.

  • Shutdown Threshold—This value triggers the shutdown of line cards. If the router power draw exceeds the shutdown threshold, then the line cards are shutdown based on the priorities that are assigned to them. The system monitors the power draw for every 10 seconds.

Shut Down Priorities for Powering Down the LC

You can configure a shutdown priority value of 0 to 19. A line card with lower value has the highest priority. By default, a priority of 20 is assigned to all the LC in the router.

When two or more LCs have equal priorities that are assigned, then the slot number takes precedence in the priority calculation. A lower slot number has the highest priority. For instance, when two LCs at slot 0 and slot 19 have the priority set as 10, then LC in slot 0 has higher priority than the LC in slot 19.

Proactive Line Card Shut Down Implementation Consideration

Consider the following points while configuring proactive line card shut down feature:

  • Shutdown threshold must be greater than the current system power draw.

  • Shutdown threshold must be greater than the syslog threshold.

  • Shutdown threshold must not be less than 3500 Watts.

  • In Cisco IOS XR 32-bit OS, the priority of a LC is checked only when the LC is in IOS XR RUN state.

  • In Cisco IOS XR 64-bit OS, the priority of a LC is checked only when the LC is in Operational state.

Configure Proactive Line Card Shut Down

Cisco IOS XR 32-bit

Configuring proactive line card shutdown includes:

  • Assigning priorities to the line cards

  • Configuring syslog threshold

  • Configuring shutdown threshold

In this example, syslog threshold of 5000 W and shutdown threshold of 6000 W is configured along with the LC priorities:

config
power budget enforcement progressive
priority 1
  location 0/1/CPU0
  location 0/5/CPU0
!
priority 5
  location 0/4/CPU0
!
priority 11
  location 0/2/CPU0
!
priority 20
  location 0/3/CPU0
!
syslog-threshhold 5000 W
shutdown-threshhold 6000 W

The following error message is seen when power draw exceeds the shutdown threshold:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:Mar  8 11:42:00.146 : shelfmgr[406]: %PLATFORM-SHELFMGR-1-INRESET_ALARM : Power off node 0/10/CPU0 due to multiple critical alarms, putting into IN_RESET state

Cisco IOS XR 64-bit

Configuring proactive line card shutdown includes:

  • Configuring syslog threshold

  • Configuring shutdown threshold

  • Assigning priorities to the line cards

In this example, syslog threshold of 3300 W and shutdown threshold of 3500 W is configured along with LC priorities:


sysadmin config
 power-mgmt progressive enable
  syslog-threshold 3300        /* syslog generated when power crosses this value */
  shutdown-threshold 3500      /* LCs shut down based on priority once power draw crosses this limit */
  priority location 0/0 10    /* Priority assigned for each LC */
  !
  priority location 0/1 5
  !
  priority location 0/4 4
  !
  priority location 0/6 2
  !
  priority location 0/7 1
  !
! 

The following error message is seen when power draw exceed the syslog threshold:

0/RSP0/ADMIN0:Feb 22 11:44:38.566 UTC: envmon[4202]: %PWR_MGMT-ENVMON-3-PWR_EXCEEDED_WARN :
 Chassis power usage 3448 W has exceeded the configured warning threshold of 3300 W  

The following error message is seen when power draw exceeds the shutdown threshold:

0/RSP0/ADMIN0:Feb 22 11:44:38.567 UTC: envmon[4202]: %PKT_INFRA-FM-3-FAULT_MAJOR : 
ALARM_MAJOR :Node shutdown by Progressive power-mgmt mode :DECLARE :0/0:  
Node priority 10, Chassis power draw 3570 W exceeded shutdown threshold 3500 W

 

Advanced Power Management

Advanced power management feature enables powering down the unused line card slices.

This feature helps to manage power consumption, as the slices that do not have any services enabled are power down. Later these slices can be powered when a new service is enabled on them.

This feature is supported on the Cisco ASR 9000 4th Generation Ethernet line cards.

Configuring Advance Power Management

This procedure shows how to configure advance power management.

In this example these slices are powered down:

  • slice 0, and 7 of the line card in the node 0 location

  • slice 3, and 6 of the line card in the node 1 location

You should reload the line card for the configuration changes to take effect.

Overview of Erase and Wipeout Disk Memory

Below two methods are used to delete the data from a RSP and line card. These methods are used based on your requirements:

  • Erase Disk Memory

  • Wipe Out Disk Memory

Erase Disk Memory

The Erase Disk Memory operation clears the disk memory of RSPs and line cards. However, the deleted data is recoverable using recovery tools. The erase disk memory operation can be performed for quick sanitization of the card before reusing it in another device within the control space of your network or organization.

How to Erase Disk Memory

Erasing disk memory operation uses zapdisk feature to erase the disk memory from the RSP and line card.

Erasing disk memory is done in three steps. First, you enable the zapdisk feature, later identify the card where zapdisk is supported. Next, activate the zapdisk operation on the card:

  1. Enable zapdisk feature on the router.

    Example:

    sysadmin-vm# zapdisk set
  2. Find out the card location where the zapdisk feature is supported using the show zapdisk locations command.

    Example:

    Router# show zapdisk locations 
      
    0/RSP1     Fully qualified location specification
    0/7        Fully qualified location specification
    0/4        Fully qualified location specification
    all        all locations
    
  3. Start the zapdisk operation on a specific node location or all node locations to erase disk memory.


    Note


    You can run the zapdisk operation on all RSPs and line cards except the active RSP where zapdisk service is running in an active role.


    After the zapdisk process is completed, the system clears all data and shuts down the card.

    This example runs the zapdisk operation on the node location 0/4:

    Router# zapdisk start location 0/4
    Action on designated location is in progress, more detail logs will be located in sysadmin at
    /misc/disk1/tftpboot/zapdisk.log once action is completed

Note


After deleting the data, remove the card from the slot, and do not reload the card or the router. If you reload the card or the router without removing the card, the data is reloaded into the card.


In the event when you must return or trash a card, the data in the disk memory should be permanently deleted. Therefore, the erase disk memory feature is not advice. You should use the enhanced version of the erase disk memory feature called Wipe Out Disk Memory.

Wipe Out Disk Memory

The Wipe Out Disk Memory feature deletes data permanently from the disk memory of RSPs and line cards. The erased data is non-recoverable. We recommmend this action when you perform a return material authorization (RMA) of a card to prevent pilferage of sensitive data.

How to Wipe out Disk Memory

Wiping out disk memory actions are performed in the ROMMON mode. Generally to boot into ROMMON mode, the config-register boot-mode rom-monitor command is executed from the admin mode. However, the command is not available in Cisco IOS XR 64 bit OS. Therefore you must follow the below sequence to boot into ROMMON mode:

  1. Reload the router

  2. Break into the BIOS menu and select ROMMON

  3. Wipe out disk memory in ROMMON

Reload the router

Before reloading the router, ensure that the redundant RP is disabled in dual-RP routers and console is connected:

sysadmin-vm:0_RSP0# hw-module location all reload


Break into the BIOS menu and select ROMMON

  1. While the router boots, press CTRL+C to break into BIOS menu.

  2. To enter into ROMMON mode, select the Boot to ROMMON option from the available boot options:

    
    Please select the operating system and the boot device:
         1) Boot to ROMMON
         2) IOS-XR 64 bit Boot previously installed image
         3) IOS-XR 64 bit Mgmt Network boot using DHCP server
         4) IOS-XR 64 bit Mgmt Network boot using local settings (iPXE)
         (Press 'p' for more option)
    Selection [1/2/3/4]: 1
    Selected Boot to ROMMON , Continue ? Y/N: y
    
    rommon 1 > 

Wipe out disk memory in ROMMON

  1. Go to Privilege Mode.
    rommon > priv 
  2. Select the hderase option.

    rommon > hderase
                SATA HD(0x4,0x0,0x0):
           	 Model    : <Model number>
       	Serial No : <serial number>
    
        	Sanitize Crypto Scramble Erase Supported
        	Sanitize State : Idle
    	
    All the contents on this Drive will be Erased
    Do you wish to continue?(Y/N)
    Y
    

    The data is permanently erased.

Upgrading the CPU Controller Bits

Use this procedure to upgrade the CPU controller bits on all nodes that are installed in the router or on a specific node.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. admin
  2. upgrade cpuctrlbits {all | location node-id}

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

admin

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# admin 

Enters administration EXEC mode.

Step 2

upgrade cpuctrlbits {all | location node-id}

Example:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# upgrade cpuctrlbits all

Upgrades the CPU controller bits on all nodes in the router.

Use the location node-id keyword and argument to upgrade the CPU controller bits on a specific node.

Examples

The following example shows how to upgrade the CPU controller bits on all nodes in a router:


RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# admin
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(admin)# upgrade cpucrtlbits all
  
Please do not power cycle, reload the router or reset any nodes until all upgrades are completed.
Please check the syslog to make sure that all nodes are upgraded successfully.
If you need to perform multiple upgrades, please wait for current upgrade to be completed 
before proceeding to another upgrade. Failure to do so may render the cards under upgrade 
to be unusable.
  

Configuring Port Modes

This section describes how to configure the various port modes on a router, port expansion card, or a line card.

Configuring Port Mode in Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC

You can configure the SFP+ ports on the Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC (0.8T PEC card) in 10GbE, 25GbE. By default, all ports are in 10GbE mode.

For more information on the ports, see the Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Fixed-Port Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

To configure a port, use the hw-module location slice config mode command.

The port mode configuration is per slice and not per port. Also, the 48 ports on Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC are available in slices 4 and 5. Each slice can be configured for 10GbE, 25GbE port mode.

The number of ports available on the card depends on the port mode configured on each slice. This table shows the port mode, and available ports on Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC:

Table 11. Port Modes, and Available Ports on Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC

Port Mode

Number of Ports

Available Port Numbers

10GbE

24 on each slice

On slice 4: port numbers 0–23

On slice 5: port numbers 24–47

25GbE

32

16 on each slice

On slice 4: port numbers 0–15

On slice 5: port numbers 32–47

Configuration

This sample configuration shows how to configure all ports on Cisco A9903-8HG-PEC in 25GbE mode:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 slice 4 config-mode 4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 slice 5 config-mode 4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

By default, all ports are in 10GbE mode. To revert to the default mode, use no form of the hw-module location <node> slice <number> config-mode command. This sample shows how to revert slice 4 ports to the default 10GbE mode:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 slice 4 config-mode 4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE,4x25GE
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Verification

Use the show interface brief command to verify the ports in slice 4 and 5 configured in 25GbE mode:

Configuring Port Mode in Cisco ASR 9902 Router

The router has 48 ports with maximum of 800G data bandwidth capacity. You can configure the 48 ports in various port modes (100GbE, 25GbE, 10GbE, and 1GbE) using the hw-module location <node> slice <number> config-mode command.

The port mode configuration is per slice and not per port. Also, the 48 ports on the Cisco ASR 9902 router are available in slice 0 and 1. Each slice can be configured for a mix of 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, or 100GbE port modes. The default configuration is 1x100GE, 1x100GE, 10x10GE, and 10x10GE.

For more information on the ports, see the Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis chapter in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Fixed-Port Routers Hardware Installation Guide.

The number of ports available on the router depends on the port mode configured on each slice. This table shows the configuration options and supported port modes on Cisco ASR 9902 router:

This sample shows how to configure Configuration Option 1:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 slice 0 config-mode 1x100GE,1x100GE,5x1GE_5x10GE,5x1GE_5x10GE
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

To revert to the default mode, use no form of the hw-module location <node> slice <number> config-mode command.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#no hw-module location 0/0/CPU0 slice 0 config-mode 1x100GE,1x100GE,5x1GE_5x10GE,5x1GE_5x10GE
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Use the show interface brief command to verify the ports configured using config-mode command.


Note


The 40G port mode on the Cisco ASR 9902 router works only with Cisco IOS XR software version 7.8.x or higher. So, if you want to use the 40G port mode on the Cisco ASR 9902 router, you should update the Cisco IOS XR software version to 7.8.x or higher.


Configure Single Feed Power Mode

Cisco ASR 9000 series router supports the operating of one or all power modules. For example, V1 DC, V2 DC, V3 AC and V3 DC.

Ideally, you’re expected to connect all the power modules (or feed) to power supply. If you don’t connect any one feed, the system raises an alarm or error message.

You can configure the single-feed power mode to suppress the error message or an alarm for any missing feeds.

Configuration Example

The following example enables the single power feed mode for the 0/PS2/M0/SP power module:

Router#admin
Router(admin)#config
Router(admin-config)#power single-feed location 0/PS2/M0/SP
