Step 9
After the new software load is activated on the node and all the non-ML-Series cards, you can activate
this load on the ML-Series cards by resetting the ML-Series cards.
Caution
Resetting the ML-Series card causes a loss of traffic and closes any Telnet sessions to the card.
To reset the ML-Series card through CTC, go to node view and click the ML-Series card to reveal a short
cut menu, click Reset Card.
Step 10
After the ML-Series card reloads, verify that the correct software build is on the card using the Cisco
IOS CLI privilege level show version command.
Example 3-1 shows a partial example of the show version command output with the Cisco IOS software
version in bold.

Cisco IOS Command Modes
The Cisco IOS user interface has several different modes. The commands available to you depend on
which mode you are in. To get a list of the commands available in a given mode, type a question mark
(?) at the system prompt.
Table 3-3 describes the most commonly used modes, how to enter the modes, and the resulting system
prompts. The system prompt helps you identify which mode you are in and, therefore, which commands
are available to you.
Note
When a process makes unusually heavy demands on the CPU of the ML-Series card, it could impair CPU
response time and cause a CPUHOG error message to appear on the console. This message indicates
which process used a large number of CPU cycles, such as the updating of the routing table with a large
number of routes due to an event. Seeing this message as a result of card reset or other infrequent events
should not be a cause for concern.
