CHAPTER 26
Upgrading Field-Programmable Devices
In general terms, field-programmable devices (FPDs) are hardware devices implemented on router cards
that support separate upgrades. The term “FPD” has been introduced to collectively and generically describe
any type of programmable hardware device on SPAs. FPDs were introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers to support the SPAs.
This chapter describes the information that you need to know to verify image versions and to perform SPA
