Contents

These Release Notes describe the following topics:

Introduction

The Cisco 8110 Broadband Network Termination Unit is a multiservice IP+ATM CPE device which enables service providers worldwide to cost effectively offer carrier class managed services to enterprise customers with high bandwidth needs and stringent service level agreements. The Cisco 8110 is optimized to enable a wide range of services including IP, ATM, Private Line, Voice and Video services over a single high-speed access link.

Determining the Software Version

There are two methods of determining the 8110 Software Version:

Determining the Software Version by booting up the System

In order to determine the Software Version, the system needs to be booted up. Following the boot up, the system will perform a serious of self tests . The Software Version is displayed at the end of the tests just before the Login prompt as shown in figure 1.

Determining the Software Version from the 8110 System Menu

To determine the Software Version of the 8110 Broadband Network Termination Unit, from the Configuration Menu type the SHOW command and press RETURN.

The SHOW command is used to display the global configuration information for this particular Cisco 8110 System as shown in Figure 1. The display includes: EPROM version, Operational software version, Cisco 8110 Address. At the prompt, type the command and press RETURN. The following screen is displayed:

Note   Software Version 5.2 is based on Version 5.1c and supports all the features included in Version 5.1c

Version 5.2 Feature List

Log On Security

Secure Log-on procedure, to protect and ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Cisco 8110 configuration, control and maintenance.

UBR+

Support ATM forum UBR (Unspecified bit rate) with minimum cell rate for ATM network. Normally used for non real time application.

PPD

Frame base traffic control discard the reminder of a packet that is known to be incomplete due to cell loss. This feature enable packet base traffic to be more efficient.

VLAN Tagging

Support VLAN Tagging Per 802.1q.

E1 Fractional

Support Fractional E1 per AF-Phy-0130.00

AAL5 And Ethernet Statistics

AAL5 And Ethernet statistics of 15 minutes intervals, which can be accessed via SNMP or user interface.

Cisco Cookie Support

Enables Cookie format support, in line with Cisco standards.

IP Forwarding

This feature supports level three static IP forwarding which enables specific IP packets to be forwarded to a pre defined PVC.

TOS to QOS Mapping

QOS mapping establishes an association between a Behavior Class and a dedicated ATM VC - where a bundle of such VCs to the same IP destination will provide a full transport packet service with different QoS. Each VC is configured with different ATM QoS parameters.

PVC Alternate Route

This feature enables automatic traffic transfer to a n Alternate PVC in case of failure on the active or primary PVC.


Version 5.2 Optional Features

    1. Cisco 8110 LIC - FE - Transparent LAN License for Ethernet/Fast Ethernet for the Cisco 8110

The Ethernet interface is either used as an Ethernet to ATM uplink or as Ethernet access to Management. The Ethernet supports auto negotiation 10/100 baseTx standards. There is no forwarding between the ports. The Ethernet interfaces support the relay layer of the IEEE 802.1 MAC Layer Bridge. Ethernet packets are bridged over ATM using RFC 1483, LLC for Bridging encapsulation. The bridge learns MAC addresses and forwards the required MAC addresses. Using Traffic Shaping, Per-Class-Queuing and Performance Monitoring, each LAN interconnection is assigned with required QoS and the performance of each connection is constantly monitored and measured End-to-End. Early Packet Discard mechanism yield an excellent goodput on the Ethernet uplink VCs.


Note   Cisco 8110 LIC - FE - Transparent LAN License for Ethernet/Fast Ethernet for the Cisco 8110 can be ordered through Cisco.com

MIBs

The SNMP Cisco 8110 MIB is being provided with the delivery of Release 5.2 of the Cisco 8110 software on CCO. The MIB is in standard ASN.1 format and is located in the same directory within CCO. These files may be compiled with most standards-based MIB compilers. The following files are required:
