Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)#

microcode {base | enhanced

| fail system-reload | mpls | spr}

Configures the ML-Series card with the selected
microcode image:

base—(Default) Enables base features only. Base
features include Multicast routing and IP
fragmentation.

enhanced—Enables ERMS, enhanced packet
statistics, and enhanced DRPRI. Disables
multicast routing and IP fragmentation.

fail system-reloadThis command and feature
are specific to ML-Series card. In the event of a
microcode failure, it configures the ML-Series
card to save information to the flash memory and
then reboot. The information is saved for use by
the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (Cisco
TAC).

To contact TAC, see the

“Obtaining

Documentation and Submitting a Service
Request” section on page xxxvii

.

mpls—Enables MPLS. Disables IP multicast, IP
fragmentation, and ERMS support.

spr—Enables SPR encapsulation, Enhanced
Packet Statistics, DRPRI, and Keepalives.
Disables Multicast routing or IP Fragmentation.

Step 2

Router(config)# exit

Exits global configuration mode.

Step 3

Router# copy running-config startup-config

Saves the configuration changes to Flash memory.
The running configuration file configured with the
new microcode image choice must be saved as a
startup configuration file for the ML-Series card to
reboot with the new microcode image choice.

Step 4

Router# reload

Resets the ML-Series card and loads the new
microcode image.

Caution

Resetting the ML-Series card causes a
loss of traffic and closes any Telnet
sessions to the card.

Step 5

Router# show microcode

Shows the microcode image currently loaded and
the microcode image that loads when the
ML-Series card resets.
