CSCvf34445 | There were no defects filed with this field notice at the time of publication. |
From early August 2013 until the middle of September 2013, the ASR1000-RP2s shipped to the field had an incorrect ACTV/STBY LED state. This issue is seen with the V04 RP2. Although the RP2 state is active, the STBY LED actually lights up.
On September 25, 2013, Cisco temporarily stopped shipment of ASR1000-RP2s due to the ASR1k-RP2 LED issue. The ACTV/STBY LED state is reversed. The affected ASR1000-RP2s were shipped to the field starting in August of 2013. In the ASR1004, the RP2 status LED shows the opposite of the current state. In the ASR1006 and ASR1013 with redundant RP2s, the active RP2 shows standby and standby RP2s show active.
Cisco implemented a fix in the complex programmable logic device (CPLD) image to flip the ACTV/STBY status. The new image was available to manufacturing on September 29, 2013.
The ASR1000-RP2's actual ACTV/STBY LED state is incorrect. Although the RP2 state is active, the STBY LED lights up. This issue is seen with use of the V04 RP2.
The steps to reproduce this issue are:
The active/standby LED is identified as shown in this picture:
Cisco provided a new CPLD image version 13092401 that reverses back the LEDs and is provided in the form of a Field Programmable Device (FPD) package. The FPD package is already published at Cisco.com.
Do not apply this firmware upgrade to nonaffected boards. The CPLD image should only be applied to V04 systems. The Serial Number Verification Tool should also be used to confirm the systems with this issue.
The upgrade instructions for an Active Cisco ASR1000-RP2 were taken from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/asr1000/cpld/hw_fp_upgrade.html and were adapted for this case.
Upgrade the Active Cisco ASR1000-RP2
Complete these steps in order to perform a Cisco ASR1000-RP2 CPLD field upgrade. In the example described in these steps, R0 is the active RP2. If R1 is the active route processor (RP), follow the same upgrade steps on R1.

Router# upgrade hw-programmable CPLD filename harddisk: asr1000-hw-programmables.03.07.04a.S.152-4.S4a.pkg R0
Upgrade the CPLD on the Route-Processor 0 from the current version 10021901 to version 13092401.
This upgrade could take up to 10 minutes to complete. Do not power cycle the unit or the linecard until the upgrade is complete (the hardware might be unrecoverable). This command also issues a reset to the linecard at the end of the upgrade.
SYSTEM HAS SUCCESFULLY UPGRADED THE cpld hw-programmable on Route-Processor 0. PLEASE POWER CYCLE THE CHASSIS NOW.

Upgrade the Standby Cisco ASR1000-RP2
Complete these steps in order to perform a Cisco ASR1000-RP2 CPLD field upgrade. In the example described in these steps, R1 is the standby RP. If R0 is the standby RP, follow the same upgrade steps on R0.

Router# upgrade hw-programmable CPLD filename harddisk: asr1000-hw-programmables.03.07.04a.S.152-4.S4a.pkg R1
Upgrade the CPLD on Route-Processor 1 from the current version 100201901 to version 13092401.
This upgrade could take up to 10 minutes to complete. Do not power cycle the unit or the linecard until the upgrade is complete (the hardware might be unrecoverable). This command also issues a reset to the linecard at the end of the upgrade.
Reload Route-Processor 1 to Start the Upgrade
