Troubleshooting Hardware and Software Version Problems
A common error you may encounter is the incompatibility of hardware modules and the Cisco IOS® software version needed to perform a particular function. Use the Software Advisor (registered customers only) to confirm that you are using IOS software that supports the various hardware components installed in your switch router.Verifying Hardware and Software Versions
Display the hardware and software versions to ensure that they are the most recent. Very old hardware and software versions (two or three versions back) can have caveats that have been fixed in more recent versions. Use the following EXEC commands to display the version information:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| show version | Displays the software version information. |
| show hardware [detail] | Displays detailed hardware information including revision level and version. |
| show functional-image slot slot | Displays functional image information. |
To verify the hardware and software versions, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Use the show version command to display the system software version:
Step 2 Use the show hardware command to display the hardware revision levels:Switch# show version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) PNNI Software (cat8540m-WPK2-M), Version 12.1(10)E Copyright (c) 1986-2002 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Step 4 Use the show hardware detail command to display detailed information about the hardware, including the functional image versions:
Step 5 Use the show functional-image command to display detailed information about the functional images for the route processors, switch processors, and Fast Ethernet /Gigabit Ethernet interface modules for the switch router (in this example, the Catalyst 8540 MSR). The following example shows how to display the functional image for the route processor in slot 4:Switch# show hardware detail <Information deleted> slot: 3/0 Controller-Type : XPIF ATM OC3 PM - 1 Port SM_IR Part Number: 73-3889-03 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB040879AA Mfg Date: Mar 15 00 RMA Number: 0 H/W Version: 1.0 FPGA Version: 1.14 XPIF Version: 3001 CAM size: 64 KB Ucode Version: 1.0 CAM Type: Private TCAM Port Phy Setup Port 0: DONE Optical Line Daughter Card Serial EEPROM: Part Number: 73-3975-02 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB0407768M Mfg Date: 2000/04/10 RMA Number: 0 HW Rever: 1.0 TCAM Daughter Card Serial EEPROM: Part Number: 73-3970-02 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB04087BXK Mfg Date: 2000/03/04 RMA Number: 0 HW Rever: 2.0 slot: 3/1 Controller-Type : XPIF GIGE PAM Part Number: 73-4167-05 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB04097GQA Mfg Date: Mar 15 00 RMA Number: 0 H/W Version: 1.0 FPGA Version: 20.72 XPIF Version: 3001 CAM size: 64 KB Ucode Version: 1.0 CAM Type: Private TCAM Port Phy Setup Port 0: DONE GBIC Vendor: No vendor info. slot: 4/* Controller-Type : Route Proc Part Number: 73-3775-04 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB03201VCZ Mfg Date: Oct 04 99 RMA Number: 0 H/W Version: 5.7 FPGA Version: 4.8 slot: 5/* Controller-Type : Switch Card Part Number: 73-3327-08 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB032428ZR Mfg Date: Jun 15 99 RMA Number: 0 H/W Version: 8.0 FPGA Version: 1.2 slot: 7/* Controller-Type : Switch Card Part Number: 73-3327-08 Revision: A0 Serial Number: CAB032428ZE Mfg Date: Jun 15 99 RMA Number: 0 H/W Version: 8.0 FPGA Version: 1.2 <Information deleted>
Step 6 Verify the FunctionalVersion and #HardwareRequired fields to determine the FPGA version and the hardware version required for the FPGA. Compare this with the hardware version using the show hardware command output displayed in Step 2 and Step 4. If the FPGA version does not support the hardware version, download a new FPGA image and/or upgrade the hardware.Switch# show functional-image slot 4 Details for cpu Image on slot: 4 Functional Version of the FPGA Image: 4.8 #Jtag-Distribution-Format-B #HardwareRequired: 100(3.0-19,4.0-19,5.0-19) #FunctionalVersion: 4.8 #Sections: 1 #Section1Format: MOTOROLA_EXORMAX Copyright (c) 1996-00 by cisco Systems, Inc.
