A9K-MPA-4X10GE is not allowed

[isbou1986]

Hello,

I'm new in this forum, and I've been searching a solution for my issue I did not find any, so I decided to post my own and hope that someone can help me to solve the issue.

As per the subject, I have inserted one A9K-MPA-4X10GE in my router which is running on IOS 5.3.1[Default], the issue is that the card is not coming up. When I type show platform I have below output

Node      Type                     State                        Config State
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0/0/1 A9K-MPA-4X10GE NOT ALLOW ONLIN NPWR,NSHUT,MON

Any one can help me to find why I have this situation and how to bring up the card so that I can use interfaces.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

One possibility is that you may need to have a license in order to activate the slot. see below link:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/asr-9000-series-aggregation-services-routers/data_sheet_c78-728237.html

Two integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports and the Bay 0 slot is enabled by default in the Cisco ASR 9001-S. Another two integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports and the Bay 1 slot can be enabled by applying an upgrade license.

Hope this helps,

Niko
