Verifying the Fabric Plane Status
First, execute the show platform command to verify that all Fabric cards are operational (i.e. IOS-XR
RUN) and all Fabric Planes are UP.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)#show platform
Node Type PLIM State Config State
<snip>
0/SM0/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM1/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM2/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM3/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM4/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM5/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM6/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
0/SM7/SP FC-140G/S(SP) N/A IOS XR RUN PWR,NSHUT,MON
<snip>
Next, execute the show controllers fabric plane all command to verify that all Fabric Planes are UP:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(admin)#show controllers fabric plane all
<snip>
Plane Admin Oper up->dn up->mcast
Id State State counter counter
---------------------------------------------
0 UP UP 0 0
1 UP UP 0 0
2 UP UP 0 0
3 UP UP 0 0
4 UP UP 0 0
5 UP UP 0 0
6 UP UP 0 0
7 UP UP 0 0
Note The up->down counter records the number of times the plane has flapped between UP and
DOWN. Similarly, up->mcast_Down counter records the number of plane transitions between
MCAST_DOWN and UP].
Before starting the downgrade process, take a snapshot of the traffic flowing through the router and use
it as a benchmark to compare against traffic flow during the downgrade and/or after completing the
downgrade. Since it is a hitless downgrade, there should be zero impact to the traffic flow during the
downgrade and/or after completing the downgrade.
