After successfully logging into the console, you must perform some preliminary checks to verify the default
setup. If any setup issue is detected when these checks are performed, take corrective action before making
further configurations. These preliminary checks are:
- Verify Status of Hardware Modules, on page 1
- Verify Node Status, on page 2
- Verify Environmental Parameters, on page 3
- Verify Software Version, on page 4
- Verify Firmware Version, on page 5
- Verify Interface Status, on page 7
Verify Status of Hardware Modules
Hardware modules include RPs, fan trays, and so on. On the router, multiple hardware modules are installed.
Perform this task to verify that all hardware modules are installed correctly and are operational.
Before you begin
Ensure that all required hardware modules have been installed on the router.
Procedure
show platform
Example:
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show platform
Displays the list of hardware modules detected on the router.

Verify Node Status
Each card on the router represents a node. The operational status of the node is verified using the show
platform command. This command is to be executed independently from both XR and System Admin mode
CLIs.
Procedure
Step 1 show platform
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#show platform
The show platform command when executed from the XR EXEC mode displays the status of XR console
running on various RPs and LCs.
Verify that all RPs are listed and their state is OPERATIONAL. This indicates that the XR console is operational
on the cards.
Step 2 admin
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# admin
Enters mode.
Step 3 show platform
Example:
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0#show platform
The show platform command when executed from the System Admin EXEC mode displays the status of
all hardware units like cards (RPs, IMs ) and hardware modules (fan trays) on the router.
This is an example for single-chassis system:

Verify Software Version
The router is shipped with the Cisco IOS XR software pre-installed. Verify that the latest version of the
software is installed. If a newer version is available, perform a system upgrade. This will install the newer
version of the software and provide the latest feature set on the router.
Perform this task to verify the version of Cisco IOS XR software running on the router.
Procedure
show version
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show version
Displays the version of the various software components installed on the router. The result includes the version
of Cisco IOS XR software and its various components.
Example
What to do next
Verify the result to ascertain whether a system upgrade or additional package installation is required. If that
is required, refer to the tasks in the chapter Perform System Upgrade and Install Feature Packages.
Perform Preliminary Checks
Verify Software Version
Verify Firmware Version
The firmware on various hardware components of the router must be compatible with the Cisco IOS XR
image installed. Incompatibility might cause the router to malfunction. Complete this task to verify the firmware
version.

Perform Preliminary Checks
Verify Firmware Version
BIOS and IOFPGA upgrades require power cycle of the router for
the new version to take effect.
Note
Verify Interface Status
After the router has booted, all available interfaces must be discovered by the system. If interfaces are not
discovered, it might indicate a malfunction in the unit. Complete this task to view the number of discovered
interfaces.
Procedure
show ipv4 interface summary
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router#show ipv4 interface summary
When a router is turned on for the first time, all interfaces are in the 'unassigned' state. Verify that the total
number of interfaces displayed in the result matches with the actual number of interfaces present on the router.
In the above result:
- Assigned— An IP address is assigned to the interface.
- Unnumbered— Interface which has borrowed an IP address already configured on one of the other
interfaces of the router.
- Unassigned—No IP address is assigned to the interface.
You can also use the show interfaces brief and show interfaces summary commands in the XR EXEC mode
to verify the interface status.
