1 Description
The Cisco Performance Routing Engine
(ESR-PRE2) is a single-slot module that performs
Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet routing and
forwarding using Parallel eXpress Forwarding
(PXF).
2 Upgrading to a PRE2
This upgrade should be performed by a qualified
engineer who is familiar with the Cisco router
console interface.
Upgrade Considerations
• This is a service-impacting hardware upgrade.
The router will not be available for user traffic
during the upgrade, and traffic cannot resume
until the upgrade is complete.
• PREs or PRE1s cannot operate with a PRE2 in
the same chassis and should never be installed
in a chassis together.
• PRE2 modules to be installed must have the
helper image (eboot) stored in the onboard
boot flash, no configuration, and must be set
to boot into ROMMON. Individual PRE2
modules ship in this state.
• The new PRE2 image must exist on the TFTP
server.
Saving the Startup and Running
Configuration Information
When the PRE or PRE1 is removed from the
chassis, any local configuration is lost. You must
save your configuration information to the TFTP
server or media card before removing the module.
If you plan to use the media card from your current
PRE or PRE1, you can save your startup
configuration, running configuration, and the
latest PRE2 image (from the TFTP server) to the
media card.
Saving to a Media Card
Step 1 Connect the console to the primary PRE or
PRE1.
Step 2 Copy the startup configuration and
running configuration to the existing
removable media card.
Step 3 Download the full PRE2 image from the
TFTP server to the media card.
Step 4 If you have a redundant PRE or PRE1,
save this information on the redundant
PRE or PRE1 media card.
Step 5 Remove the media cards from the modules
and set them aside.
Saving to the TFTP Server
Step 1 Connect to the primary PRE or PRE1
console.
Step 2 Save the startup configuration and
running configuration to the TFTP server.
Removing the PRE or PRE1 Module
Note Modules can be hot-swapped. However,
removing a module terminates all traffic.
We recommend that you power down th e
router to ensure a successful installation.
Warning
Step 1 Ensure that you are properly grounded.
Step 2 Power down the router
Step 3 Disconnect the cables from the PRE/PRE1.
Hazardous voltage or energy is
present on the backplane when the
system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Statement 1034
Step 4 Unscrew the captive screws.
Step 5 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers
away from each other to disengage the
module from the backplane.
Step 6 Slide the PRE/PRE1 out of the slot and
place it on an anti-static surface or in an
anti-static bag.
Step 7 If you are replacing a redundant
PRE/PRE1, repeat Step 3 through Step 6.
Installing a PRE2 Module
Note To ensure proper operation, always install
a single PRE2 in slot A. If you are
installing a redundant PRE2 in slot B, wait
until after you have installed and
configured the primary PRE2 in slot A.
Equipment
ESD wrist strap
Replacement PRE2 modules
Step 1 Ensure that you are properly grounded.
Step 2 Inspect the connectors on both the PRE2
and the backplane. Bent or broken pins
can cause a system malfunction.
Step 3 Carefully align the PRE2 module with the
guides in slot A in the chassis.
Step 4 Slide the module into the slot until you can
feel it seat in the backplane.

Step 5 Simultaneously close the ejector levers to
firmly seat the PRE2 in the backplane.
Step 6 Tighten the captive screws.
Step 7 Reconnect all the cables to the PRE2 and
connect to the console.
Step 8 If you saved files to the old media card,
replace the new media card with the old
media card.
Step 9 Power on the router. The PRE2 cycles
through its power-on self-test. The FAIL
LED stays on briefly, goes off, and then
boots into ROMMON mode.
Step 10 Boot the full image (if available) from the
media card or from the TFTP server.
If the full image is not available, boot the
helper image from the onboard boot flash.
After booting the router prompts for an
initial configuration dialog.
Step 11 If you need to access the TFTP server to
obtain the full image or the saved
configuration files, enter the configuration
dialog and provide the information
necessary to access the TFTP server.
If you booted the full image, restore the
startup configuration and running
configuration information, and set the
boot variable for the new image. The
upgrade is now complete.
If you booted from the helper image,
download the full image, restore the
startup and running configuration
information, set the boot variable to the
new image, and reload the router. The
upgrade is now complete.
Installing a Redundant PRE2
Step 1 Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 for slot B.
Step 2 From the console ROMMON prompt, set
the configuration to boot the full image
and reload.
3 Troubleshooting
The PRE2 goes through a specific LED sequence at
startup.
1. The FAIL LED briefly comes on and then goes
off, and the STATUS LED starts flashing and
progress messages appear on the PRE2 display .
2. IOS RUN appears after a successful bootup.
3. The STATUS LED on the PRE2 turns green.
4. The redundant PRE2 boot sequence is similar,
except that the STATUS LED remains off and
the final message is IOS STBY, indicating that
the PRE2 is in standby state.
If this sequence does not occur, the ST A T US LED is
off, or the FAIL LED is yellow, check the following:
1. Are
the LEDs on other modules on? If not,
check for a problem in the power subsystem.
2. If other module’s LEDs are on, remove the
PRE2 from the slot, check for bent or broken
pins on the connectors, and reinsert it. Ensure
that there is solid contact with the backplane
and that the PRE2 is securely locked in place.
3. Verify the s tatus of the PRE2 module’ s internal
Ethernet interface (ethernet0/0/0). If this
internal interface is down, it could indicate
that the PRE2 is not fully seated in the slot or
that a hardware failure has occurred. Do not
confuse the PRE2 internal Ethernet interface
(ethernet 0/0/0) with the module’s external
Fast Ethernet interface (fastethernet 0/0/0),
which is used for network management and
remote access.
