System Setup and Software Installation Guide for Cisco NCS 1014, IOS XR Releases 26.x.x

Verify firmware version

Updated: September 10, 2026

Want to summarize with AI?

Verify the field-programmable device (FPD) firmware version running on each hardware component of Cisco NCS 1014 using the show hw-module fpd and show fpd package commands.

Use this task to confirm that the firmware that is running on each hardware component of Cisco NCS 1014 is compatible with the installed Cisco IOS XR image.

Cisco NCS 1014 hardware components require compatible firmware for proper operation. Using the show hw-module fpd command displays the current firmware version for each FPD, while show fpd package shows the firmware version bundled with the installed Cisco IOS XR software image.

Procedure

Run the show hw-module fpd command.

Note

From R26.2.1, the solid-state drive (SSD) FPD name that is displayed in the output of the show hw-module fpd command changes from a vendor- or model-specific name to a generic format: CPU-SSD for RP locations and CHASSIS-SSD for rack locations.

Example:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#show hw-module fpd

Status: Upgrade status of the firmware. The status can be one of the following values:
- CURRENT: The firmware version is the latest version.
- NOT READY: The firmware of the FPD is not ready for upgrade.
- NEED UPGD: A newer firmware version is available in the installed image. Cisco recommends that you perform an upgrade.
- UPGD PREP: The firmware of the FPD is preparing for upgrade.
- RLOAD REQ: The upgrade is complete, and the card requires a reload.
- UPGD DONE: The firmware upgrade is successful.
- UPGD FAIL: The firmware upgrade has failed.
- UPGD SKIP: The upgrade is skipped because the installed firmware version is higher than the version available in the image.
- Running: The current version of the firmware that is running on the FPD.

Run the show fpd package command to display the FPD image version that is available with the installed software release for each hardware component.

What to do next

Upgrade all the FPDs by running the upgrade hw-module location all fpd all command in Cisco IOS XR EXEC mode. After the upgrade is complete, the Status column shows RLOAD REQ if the software requires a reload.

If a reload is required:

If the FPGA location is 0/RP0, run the admin hw-module location 0/RP0 reload command. This command reboots only the CPU. As a result, traffic is not impacted. If the FPGA location is 0/0, run the admin hw-module location all reload command. This command reboots the chassis. As a result, traffic is impacted. After the reload is complete, the new FPGA runs the current version.

If the firmware upgrade fails:

If the firmware upgrade fails, run the show logging command to view the details and upgrade the firmware again by using the preceding commands.

Note

You can upgrade the firmware version of the power modules only when both the power modules are present and powered on.
