Release Notes for CDDI/FDDI Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrator Release 3.5

November 27, 1996

Introduction

These release notes describe the features, caveats, and modifications for CDDI/FDDI Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrator Release 3.5. Refer to the CDDI/FDDI Workgroup WS-C1100 User Guide for detailed information about the CDDI/FDDI Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrator.

Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more up to date than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.

Sections in this document include:

New Features in Release 3.5

The following enhancement has been added to Release 3.5:

The set ringmap [enable | disable] enables or disables the WS-C1100 ring-mapping feature and saves the state to NVRAM. The default is enable.

To enable ring-mapping, enter the following command:

Console> (enable) set ringmap enable Ring mapping enabled

Release 3.1 Important Notes

After the Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrator Flashcode Version 3.1 is installed, future network downloads will allow only Flashcode with the WS-C1100 signature to be loaded. Version 3.1 and later versions of the Workgroup WS-C1100 Concentrator Flashcode will contain the WS-C1100 signature.

To download or copy an earlier Flashcode version, you must specifically request the no-signature option by adding the nosig argument to the download command. Following is an example of a download attempt without using the nosig argument:

Console> (enable) download 198.133.219.40 c1100_10.net This command will disconnect your telnet session. Download image c1100_10.net from host 198.133.219.40 to flash (y/n) [n]? y \ Done. Finished Network Download. (453636 bytes) ERROR: Downloaded code signature incorrect

Following is an example of a successful download using the nosig argument:

Console> (enable) download 198.133.219.40 c1100_10.net nosig This command will disconnect your telnet session. Download image c1100_10.net from host 198.133.219.40 to flash (y/n) [n]? y \ Done. Finished Network Download. (453636 bytes) Initializing flash...Erasing Flash...Done Programming flash Base....Code....Length....Time....Done Disconnected from FDDI ring. Connection closed by foreign host.
