Obtaining Technical Assistance
This document describes the Cisco MGX 8260 software version R01.02.01.
This release has the following new features and commands.
This release incluces the following new features:
These include feature operation and support of E1 for the EMEA market.
The following new commands are introduced.
stopdisk option (0..1)
This command inhibits access to the hard disk. Since the disk enters the power-cycle, you need to cycle the power off then back on to activate the IDE. Alternatively, unplug the SCC cards and plug them back in. This command is required before Power Reset.
ping IP_Address numPkg (>=1, default: 1) option (default: 0)
This command tests connectivity to a remote host.
Examples:
ping 172.17.38.168
ping 172.17.38.168 2
ping 172.17.38.168 2 200
lstrace (no parameters)
This command shows the most recent exception information and the CPU usage, before reboot.
lsprofiler (no parameter)
This command shows the current CPU usage for the last 1 minute for all the tasks executing on the card.
This section describe the software upgrade paths and security key requirements for software upgrade.
The following section describes the upgrade path and requirements.
R01.02.01 S/W supports graceful upgrade from R01.02.00, R01.01.03 and R01.01.04.
Boot flash update is required for all upgrades.
After upgrading to R01.02.01, the security key is required to download (tftp) fw and bootflash images.
 |
Note When upgrading software from earlier releases (R01.02.00 or earlier), the security key code is not required. |
Use the following tftp commands to download SCC software:
tftp> put vxWorks_disk.scc.fw scc.fw.[key]
tftp> put vxWorks_boot.scc.fw scc_r01.02.01.fls.[key]
|
Note To determine the security key code, use the dspkey command. |
Use the following tftp commands to download BSC software:
tftp> put vxWorks_dnld.bsc.fw bsc.fw[key]
tftp> put vxWorks_boot.bsc.fw bsc_r01.02.01.fls.[key]
Use the following tftp commands to download NSC software:
tftp> put vxWorks_dnld.nsc.fw nsc.fw[key]
tftp> put vxWorks_boot.nsc.fw nsc_r01.02.01.fls.[key]
You do not need to clear the configuration database for this upgrade.
This section describes the open and closed caveats. It also lists those caveats that represent feature enhancements.
The following caveats are open in this release.
| DDTS Number | Caveat Description | Impact | Workaround |
|---|---|---|---|
CSCdt00079 | When 325 connections are established per ENET port the system become unstable | System unstable | Use 4 ENET for network access and keep the maximum number of simultaneous connection to less than 1000 |
CSCds27723 | Use of DiaMain to initialize NSC and SCC Backcards | None. Only on initial installation of the MGX8260 in manufacturing | Use DiaMain to set the initial configuration for the SCC and NSC Backcards to be recognized. |
CSCds60659 | End points stuck after 40 Calls/sec with 10% COT run in 2 hrs | After 2 hours run at 40 calls/sec and 10% COT, endpoints are stuck. No new calls can be made until the endpoint are forced to clear. Other than COT, normal system behavior and calls are not impacted. | None |
CSCds68955 | COT fails at 4 COT per second after two hours (at 40 cps) | After two hours, the solution is almost frozen. Most of the calls (and sometimes all of them) are failing. | None |
CSCds89982 | Setting 480 calls on NSC, Inconsistent speech latency within an E1 DS0 lines | Inconsistency in VoIP Speech Latency on E1 DS0s. On some E1 DS0s the latency varies widely and can be as long as 1000ms. | None |
CSCds90738 | NSC card when reset sends RAI in error | If an user adds an E1 line with "dsx1E1" framing, or reset the NSC card which has an E1 line with "dsx1E1" framing, the MGX8260 will send out an "RAI" to the Far End. This problem is due to an incorrect setup on the COMET chip. | The only way to stop sending out an "RAI" is to momentarily disconnect the cable. |
CSCdt00032 | Cells are being dropped when there is 2300 connections | Cells are being dropped slowly when there are 2300 connections with 4 ethernet line active. |
|
CSCdt00144 | MGCP - no reply to MDCX | Call will not be established for that endpoint. | None |
CSCdt00462 | SCS-reset message should reset the COT process | COT will be refused on that endpoint. Calls can still go through. | None |
CSCdr88819 | Multiple tftp connections cause task tTftp to crash | Only happens with scripts ran on NT | Use tftp on workstation. Don't run script on NT. |
CSCds14325 | BSC card to become standby but stay inBoot forever after switchover | Minimal. This only happens when Both BSC are reset at the same time. | Reset redundant BSC, one at a time |
CSCds63355 | WebViewer on 5 users | This only happen when 5 users log in at exact same time and our web server can not dispatch the resources properly when 5 users request the same pages. | The probability for this situation is small, and hardly to produce. Later on, we can use a more powerful web server to handle this problem. |
CSCds66541 | SCC switchover -- Telnet session hangs for a long time | If user login to standby SCC by telnet and SCC switchover occurs, that telnet session will takes 20 seconds to re-establish the connection. | Always telnet to the active SCC or initiate a new telnet session after the SCC switchover can avoid the long connection re-establish delay. |
CSCds67512 | Logging on WebViewer for the 1st time | Sometimes you need log in twice to get into the web viewer. | This will be solves in 1.3 and right now you just need log in web viewer at the second time after relogin and all other functions work properly. |
CSCds86081 | When active SCC failure and switchover, 'lscds' does not indicate any card failure. | None. The standby SCC take over. Trap already generated when active SCC fails. | None |
CSCds87042 | Channel 12th of every DSP sounds weird when config CODEC = G.729 | The channel cannot be used. If it is used, the voice cannot be heard clearly. | Do not use channel 12 of every DSP. |
This release introduced new features that fixed the following caveats.
.
| DDTS Number | Caveat Description |
|---|---|
CSCds45936 | NSUP needs to carry variable protocol version number |
